Combination Brings Together FINTECH.TV's Global Media Platform and TAP's Market Intelligence, Advisory, Investment, Payments and Registry Technologies
NEW YORK, NY AND ABU DHABI, UAE / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2026 / FINTECH.TV today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TAP, Inc. in a stock transaction valued at approximately $50 million.
The acquisition creates a next-generation global financial media, intelligence and transaction network designed to connect investors, advisers, institutions, issuers and entrepreneurs across traditional and emerging digital markets.
By combining FINTECH.TV's global financial media platform, live studio network and market distribution capabilities with TAP's technology infrastructure, the combined company will deliver an integrated ecosystem spanning financial content, market intelligence, advisory services, investment execution, payments infrastructure and multi-asset registry technology.
The transaction represents a significant step in FINTECH.TV's strategy to build a unified platform that enables users to move seamlessly from information and discovery to engagement, investing and ownership across the emerging 24/7 global financial system.
A Global Network Connecting Markets
FINTECH.TV operates live broadcast studios at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), and at Canadian University Dubai, connecting global capital markets with the next generation of business, media, and technology talent through real-time coverage of capital markets, business leadership, innovation, financial technology, and digital assets.
The company recently expanded its presence across Abu Dhabi and Dubai while continuing to grow its global content distribution, live streaming and market intelligence capabilities through the FINTECH.TV Terminal.
The acquisition of TAP strengthens that expansion by integrating financial technology infrastructure directly into the FINTECH.TV ecosystem.
Together, the companies will create a platform connecting North America, the Middle East and other global financial centers through a continuous network of content, intelligence, investment tools and transaction technologies.
"The future of financial markets is continuous, global and increasingly digital," said Vince Molinari, Chief Executive Officer of FINTECH.TV.
"By combining FINTECH.TV's media and distribution platform with TAP's technology infrastructure, we are creating a unified ecosystem that enables audiences to move seamlessly from information and education to engagement, investing and ownership. This transaction expands our vision of building a global platform that connects investors, institutions, issuers and entrepreneurs across the next generation of capital markets."
Integrated Media and Financial Technology Platform
FINTECH.TV and TAP already maintain a live commercial and technology relationship through the FINTECH.TV Terminal, powered by TAP technology.
The existing integration supports content distribution, market intelligence, advertising technology, audience engagement, analytics, brokerage connectivity, payments functionality and related infrastructure.
The acquisition formalizes and expands an operating model that is already functioning in production environments.
Following completion of the transaction, the combined platform is expected to include:
FINTECH.TV global financial programming and media distribution
NYSE and ADX studio-based market coverage and capital markets content

Expanding the FINTECH.TV Terminal
The acquisition further accelerates development of the FINTECH.TV Terminal, the company's next-generation financial intelligence platform integrating global market coverage, real-time data, research, content, analytics and audience engagement tools.
Through the combination with TAP, the FINTECH.TV Terminal is expected to expand into a broader platform supporting advisory services, brokerage connectivity, payments technology and ownership infrastructure while maintaining FINTECH.TV's core focus on trusted financial journalism and market intelligence.

"Together with TAP, we're building a platform that connects investors, business leaders and policymakers through trusted content, live reporting and integrated market technology across major global financial centers."
