Solowin Holdings: SOLOWIN Expands Virtual Asset Services with Key License and Reports Significant Transactional Volume Growth

HONG KONG, Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SOLOWIN HOLDINGS (NASDAQ: SWIN) ("Solowin" or the "Company"), a leading financial services firm providing comprehensive solutions across traditional and digital assets, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Solomon JFZ (Asia) Holdings Limited ("Solomon") has processed a total transaction volume of $100 million since launching its operational coin-in and coin-out services. This milestone underscores the strategic significance of Solomon's recent licensing achievements from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) as the city's virtual asset market enters a phase of accelerated growth.

This achievement follows Solowin's strategic expansion since 2023 to bridge traditional finance and decentralized finance. The upgraded licensing enables the Company to provide regulated coin-in/coin-out functionality, securely connecting fiat and digital asset ecosystems while adhering to Hong Kong's stringent compliance standards.

Solomon's one-stop wealth management platform is designed to fully comply with the SFC's rigorous requirements, including:

Asset Custody Standards: Adopting secure, multi-layer custody technology, with a significant majority of client assets held in cold storage, to meet the stringent offline asset requirements mandated by Hong Kong regulators;

AML and KYC Compliance: Integrating robust regulatory technology (RegTech) solutions for customer due diligence, transaction screening, and Travel Rule adherence;

Market Integrity and Operational Oversight: Ensuring segregation of client funds, conflict-of-interest mitigation, and real-time monitoring tools to uphold and promote evolving market integrity.

Solowin is strategically positioned within Hong Kong's rapidly developing regulatory framework for virtual assets. The company intends to capitalize on its position through several key initiatives:

• Leveraging first-mover advantage in SFC-licensed services;
• Deepening partnerships with global stablecoin issuers to enhance real-time, cross-border payment solutions and support the growing tokenized asset ecosystem;
• Exploring the launch of institutional staking products and other regulated, on-chain yield-generating strategies to meet institutional demand for compliant digital asset returns.
  

Peter Lok, CEO of Solowin commented: "Hong Kong is rapidly emerging as Asia's hub for compliant virtual assets, and Solomon's regulatory advantages position us to provide institutional investors with secure, efficient digital asset on-ramps. Moving forward, we will continue expanding into real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and institutional-grade decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions to drive convergence between traditional finance and blockchain technology."
