TrustLinq enables cryptocurrency spending for individuals and businesses by facilitating direct crypto-to-fiat payments without a bank account.

TrustLinq, a Swiss-regulated crypto-to-fiat payment intermediary, announced the launch of its pioneering crypto-to-fiat payment platform that enables cryptocurrency holders to send fiat payments directly from crypto holdings to anyone, anywhere in the world in over 70 local currencies. The platform, underpinned by Swiss oversight, bank-level compliance and secure automation enables direct crypto-to-fiat seamlessly and executes payments via local payment rails — or through TrustLinq debit cards (debit cards Q1 2026). 

The platform addresses a critical market inefficiency: while over 580 million cryptocurrency users exist globally, less than 0.005% of businesses accept digital assets directly. This creates friction for crypto holders seeking to deploy digital assets for real-world expenses such as rent, payroll, supplier payments, and operational costs. TrustLinq eliminates this friction by enabling direct crypto-to-fiat payments without requiring recipients to accept crypto, open a wallet, or change their banking setup. 

TrustLinq is an early-mover in the emerging niche of crypto-to-fiat payment facilitation, with no direct competitors offering comparable functionality. Unlike existing cryptocurrency payment processors that require merchants to accept digital currencies directly, TrustLinq empowers crypto holders to leverage their digital assets for fiat payments to any third party globally importantly, TrustLinq clients do not need a bank account to use the platform, while recipients utilize their existing banking infrastructure to receive fiat, as opposed to the traditional method of converting crypto to fiat before it is deposited into their bank accounts.

The platform serves two primary market segments with tailored solutions. For individuals, TrustLinq enables cryptocurrency holders to pay personal expenses such as rent, tuition, leisure and international transfers directly from crypto holdings. For businesses, the platform enables crypto-to-fiat payouts for vendor payments, international payroll, and operational expenses. The solution particularly resonates with trading firms, affiliate networks, SaaS companies, and e-commerce businesses that receive cryptocurrency as operational revenue.

Sharon Gal Franko, Chief Executive Officer of TrustLinq, commented: “The future of payments requires bridging crypto and fiat seamlessly. With 580m+ crypto users globally holding substantial digital assets, the demand for practical, compliant fiat utility is immense. TrustLinq transforms how individuals and businesses deploy cryptocurrency in the real world, not through speculation, but through practical financial operations.”

Looking ahead, TrustLinq plans to launch debit card capabilities in Q1 2026 to expand payment options and enable direct cryptocurrency-funded purchases at traditional merchants worldwide. The roadmap underscores the company’s commitment to transitioning cryptocurrency from a speculative asset class into a practical financial instrument for daily operations and personal expenses.

About TrustLinq

TrustLinq is a Swiss-regulated financial intermediary bridging cryptocurrency and traditional banking. The platform enables individuals and businesses holding cryptocurrency to send fiat payments to anyone, anywhere in the world across 70+ currencies. Operating under Swiss regulation and compliant with Swiss AML, TrustLinq seamlessly enables crypto-to-fiat and executes payments globally while maintaining local payment efficiency via methods including SEPA, SWIFT, Faster Payments, ACH, and upcoming debit card solutions. The company prioritizes security, compliance, and user control through a non-custodial intermediary model that does not hold client funds.

San Francisco, USA/CA, November 20th, 2025, Chainwire

Numerai, a San Francisco–based hedge fund and data science tournament uniting machine learning, decentralized finance, and cryptocurrency incentives, today announced a $30 million Series C financing round led by top university endowments. The round values Numerai at $500 million, five times its 2023 valuation.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s August 2025 commitment of up to $500 million in Numerai’s hedge fund capacity, together with the new equity financing, provides Numerai with additional resources to scale its AI-driven strategies toward nearly $1 billion in assets under management (AUM).

Existing investors — including Union Square Ventures, Shine Capital, and macro investor Paul Tudor Jones — also participated in the round. Alongside J.P. Morgan Asset Management, they represent leading endowments, venture capital firms, and global macro investors that have supported Numerai’s development over multiple funding rounds.

“This round brings together exactly the type of investors we want behind Numerai — long-term, deeply informed, and willing to back a very different model of asset management built for the 21st century,” said Richard Craib, Founder and CEO of Numerai. “With this capital, and J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s capacity commitment, we can push harder on our mission of building the world’s last hedge fund — powered by AI built by top competitive data scientists around the world.”

The new capital will be used to expand Numerai’s AI engineering and research teams, increase hiring across key functions, grow participation in its global data science tournament, and support the scaling of its institutional hedge fund products.

Over the past three years, Numerai has grown assets under management from approximately $60 million to $550 million. In 2024, its flagship global equity hedge fund delivered a net return of 25.45% with a single down month, the strongest year in the firm’s history.

Numerai’s investment process is supported by a coordinated data science community that operates as a global tournament. Thousands of machine learning models contribute stock market signals that are combined into a single Meta Model trading global equity markets.

Numerai’s ecosystem is built around Numeraire (NMR), an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency used within Numerai’s data science tournament. Participants stake NMR on their stock market signals, who can earn or burn based on scores. This structure is intended to align incentives between Numerai and participating data scientists and connect the firm’s research process to the broader blockchain ecosystem.

About Numerai

Numerai is a San Francisco–based hedge fund and data science platform founded in 2015. Through a global competition and open API, thousands of data scientists submit stock market signals that Numerai aggregates into a single Meta Model trading global equities. Numeraire (NMR) is used to stake and reward signals that improve the fund. Numerai’s bet is that the future of asset management belongs to open, competitive machine intelligence rather than the walled garden of the multi-manager complex.

Lisbon, Portugal, November 20th, 2025, Chainwire

The Crypto Content Creator Campus (CCCC) 2025 wrapped up a successful, sold-out three-day event in Lisbon, Portugal, from November 14 to 16, 2025. Hosted at the iconic Carlos Lopes Pavilion , the campus united top creators and innovators to shape the future of content creation within the Web3 and crypto sphere.

Day 1 of the event showcased the new era of influence, AI-driven monetisation, and creator-led crypto adoption. Key themes highlighted the evolution of affiliate marketing, AI-powered monetisation, and masterclasses in audience attention and authenticity. Ben Zhou, Bybit Co‑Founder & CEO, delivered the headline keynote, “Empowering the New Age of Affiliate Marketing,” offering a candid look into how affiliate marketing has transformed. Zhou reminded creators of the fundamentals: attention, value, and conversion, emphasising that compelling stories, strong thumbnails, aspirational lifestyle content, and consistent value delivery remain the creator’s responsibility. Looking ahead to 2025–2030, he highlighted the “Age of Compliance and Finfluencers” , noting that as crypto becomes a regulated global financial system, the creators who build for the long term will be the ones who shape its future. 

The centerpiece panel, “Smart Monetization with AI,” featuring Sergej Loiter, Nick Tran, and Tom Schmidt, explored how AI is reshaping earning models. The unanimous consensus was that “AI is not a threat, but an equaliser. It gives creators the tools to catch up, scale up, and compete globally”. Speakers stressed that creators must think of their content as a product: audience-first, data-driven, and long-term , and urged creators to rethink platforms, using them as one huge ecosystem rather than silos. 

Nuseir Yassin (Nas Daily) delivered a masterclass on influence, credibility, and community-driven trading , mapping the state of social media monetisation. Yassin’s message was that content creation now demands both authenticity and velocity , advising creators to triple their content output with AI and localise everything to reach people’s hearts.

Day 2 continued to deliver compelling masterclasses and cultural conversations. The day opened with a live Creator House Judging Panel where top industry figures evaluated rising content creators. Panelists, including Nas Daily, Nick Tran, Nick Puckrin, and Musa Tariq judged teams on narrative originality, platform savvy, and monetization potential. This session reinforced the Campus’s mission to develop a new generation of cross-platform creators grounded in influence, integrity, and craft. 

A key highlight was an intimate Fireside Chat with Dr. Maye Musk, titled “Monetizing a Personal Brand into Durable Income”. Drawing from her decades of experience, Musk emphasized that the foundation of any lasting personal brand lies in authenticity , stating: “Stay true to yourself – why would you change?”.

Immediately following, Musk was joined by Musa Tariq, former marketing executive at Airbnb, Apple, and Nike, and Philippe Ben Mohamed, Head of Digital Innovation at Tomorrowland, for a panel on “Realising Monetization in the New Era.” The conversation explored how creators can sustainably and ethically monetize their communities. Tariq noted, “Content creators should consider themselves entrepreneurs with the opportunity of multiple streams of income” , while Mohamed emphasized a year-round strategy: “We aim to develop full 365-day plans for creators, true ecosystems, not short bursts of engagement”. He also stressed the importance of differentiation in an increasingly saturated industry.

Day 2 underscored a key truth: authenticity isn’t just an advantage, it’s essential. In a landscape shaped by AI, platform evolution, and cultural shifts, the creators who stay rooted in their identity, values, and communities will be the ones who define the next decade of influence. 

The campus closed with a cocktail reception and a gala awards ceremony, celebrating standout creators and teams for achievements in innovation, education, community-building, and cultural expression. As this year’s campus concludes, CCCC looks ahead to 2026, where the community will continue to evolve with sharper tools, stronger platforms, and more sustainable monetisation models

Zug, Switzerland, November 20th, 2025, Chainwire

Over the past few years, three different teams, Codex, Nomos, and Waku, have been building essential pieces of decentralised technology. Each had its own identity, its own community, and its own product roadmap. But underneath the different projects was one shared goal: to create a social movement and decentralised technology stack to revitalise civil society.

Today, they push their mission forward and chart a new path. Codex, Nomos, and Waku are unifying under one brand and one mission: Logos.

This consolidation represents the next step in a movement that’s been steadily growing with over 200 active contributors, 26 repositories, and 18 community chapters around the world. This unification under the Logos brand creates a single coherent technology stack that can grow and integrate together. 

For years, each project carved its own path:

• Codex built censorship-resistant, durable storage.
• Nomos created a private Layer 1 for sovereign, resilient coordination.
• Waku delivered privacy-preserving, peer-to-peer messaging at scale.

Running separately created silos and confusion about exactly how these three protocols can work together to deliver truly decentralised applications. By uniting under Logos, these once-separate pieces now form one clear, integrated technology stack for building a free and open internet. 

The Logos ecosystem provides developers with a modular, plugin-based runtime for building decentralised applications. Now, developers can leverage whichever tools best suit their needs and be confident that they are private by default. 

Speaking on the unification of the Logos technology stack, Jarrad Hope, Co-Founder of Logos, said:

“Integration unlocks impact. By unifying the technology stack under the Logos identity, we provide builders and communities with a direct path to a private, sovereign digital life without compromise.”

This consolidation comes at a time where the individual protocols for storage, messaging, and consensus are mature enough to create an ecosystem that is greater than the sum of its parts. Looking ahead, they plan to ship a “batteries-included” toolset that will allow anyone to build and operate sovereign digital infrastructure from the ground up.

Features of the Logos toolset will include:

• Broad public accessibility on day one.
• A high-quality developer experience and clear documentation. 
• Early native applications, built for real use-cases. 
• Liquidity pathways and distribution channels that reach non‑specialists. 

The priority is to deliver a functional, privacy-preserving network people can use immediately. Logos is targeting a public testnet in 2026 and mainnet in 2027.

According to the team, Logos is more than a technology stack. They are a movement for builders, explorers, and dreamers. They are pioneering a new era of freedom, as their mission is to restore agency, trust, and civic power by giving people tools to explore and innovate using decentralised technology.

Those interested in joining the movement ahead of the mainnet launch will have the chance to run a node and earn rewards for being early adopters of the network. More information on the Logos node programme can be found at: Logos – take action

The consolidation under Logos is a strategic move to better fulfill the movement’s mission. Through the Logos technology stack, individuals, communities, markets, and institutions will be empowered to operate on a voluntary, privacy-preserving foundation, thereby safeguarding their civil liberties and digital freedom.

About Logos

Logos is a decentralised collective movement that fosters action through local grassroots organising. They build technology empowering people to create resilient, sovereign coordination systems. Logos provides tools for free association, free speech, and self-governance. Their movement is shaped by shared principles cultivated through local meetups, online action groups, and global digital freedom campaigns, all driven by those who join them.

Zug, Switzerland, November 19th, 2025, Chainwire

Supra, the vertically integrated Layer 1 powering MultiVM smart contract execution with native oracles, dVRF, automation, and cross-chain communication, announced today the opening of applications for its MultiVM testnet during today’s keynote at Devconnect Buenos Aires, held as part of Multichain Day. The announcement was delivered by Jon Jones, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer of Supra, during a session exploring the future of interoperability and next-generation Web3 infrastructure.

This launch marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of dApp development, as Supra aims to offer EVM developers, in addition to MoveVM developers, a powerful new foundation to build, test, and deploy high-performance applications that can scale across ecosystems without compromising on security, composability, or liquidity. SolanaVM support is underway and is expected to be deployed early next year, making Supra the first L1 ever to support multiple virtual machines and execution environments from a variety of ecosystems. 

“We built MultiVM because we believe developers should never have to choose between innovation and access,” said Jones. “Supra aims to give teams the ability to write smart contracts in the languages of multiple virtual machines and deploy them into a fully parallelized environment, while also accessing native automation and cross-chain services, all within one unified infrastructure.”

The Supra MultiVM architecture empowers dApp developers to write smart contracts in either Solidity or Move, with SolanaVM support underway, tapping into Supra’s native services such as their 600+ built-in Oracle price feeds, cross-chain communications, and automation capabilities. This eliminates long-standing constraints that have forced projects to remain locked into Ethereum-compatible environments, foregoing access to interoperate with applications from other growing ecosystems. 

By unifying these environments with shared blockspace and a converged execution model, Supra’s MultiVM is poised to redefine what is possible in the multi-chain era. Supra aims to become a decentralized global super computer, and their thesis is that any such infrastructure should be able to run programs from a variety of programming languages.

A core component of their MultiVM design is SupraEVM, the network’s native EVM-compatible implementation. Built from the ground up with performance in mind, SupraEVM incorporates SupraBTM, a hybrid parallel execution engine capable of deterministic, conflict-aware scheduling. This enables significantly higher throughput and lower latency compared to all EVM chains in the industry, but without requiring developers to modify existing Solidity contracts.

SupraBTM has recently been benchmarked as the fastest parallel EVM executor publicly tested to date. Independent analysis confirms that SupraBTM outperforms emerging EVM projects such as Monad in high-conflict DeFi workloads, while maintaining verifiable safety and deterministic finality. In a bold move to further validate this claim, Supra’s Co-Founder and CEO, Joshua Tobkin, launched a $1 million public bounty, offering a reward to any team capable of beating SupraBTM’s performance by 15% or more in open, reproducible benchmarks.

“Too often, developers are forced to compromise between ecosystems. EVM devs feel the constraints of legacy performance, while Move developers remain isolated from the liquidity-rich Ethereum economy,” said Tobkin. “With MultiVM, Supra is collapsing the walls between ecosystems. Our vision is to provide a scalable foundation that allows applications to transcend technical silos and reach users wherever they are. With SupraBTM, we’re also proving that high performance and verifiability can coexist without tradeoffs.”

MultiVM on a Supra Testnet: Now Open for Applications

In a significant step to attract the best EVM talent to the Supra ecosystem, Supra has today opened applications for a considerable grant program. The program invites EVM developers seeking early access to the MultiVM Testnet environment, purpose-built to simulate mainnet conditions, to submit their best ideas and applications.

Selected projects will have access to nearly all of Supra’s complete developer stack, including:

• Full MoveVM and EVM compatibility (no code changes required for Solidity contracts)
• Vertically integrated services such as native oracles, deterministic verifiable randomness (dVRF), and event-driven automation, all live or coming soon to the SupraEVM
• Unified RPC infrastructure supporting both Move and EVM environments
• Tooling compatibility with Hardhat, Foundry, and Supra’s native CLI/IDE
• Upcoming support for VM-to-VM communication and composable automation across environments

The EVM grant program has been allocated $250,000 to the best talent on offer, and is designed to support innovative EVM-native projects deploying on Supra’s infrastructure. The program will fund up to 10 development teams, with each team eligible for up to $25,000 in milestone-based grants.

Each selected project will work closely with the Supra developer relations team to define technical milestones, deploy contracts on MultiVM infrastructure, and prepare for eventual mainnet integration in early 2026.

This initiative follows a wave of recent infrastructure developments from Supra, including the launch of the DevWire Hub, a new resource portal offering tutorials, CLI tools, RPC documentation, and weekly updates for developers building in Supra’s ecosystem.

Supra’s MultiVM strategy also includes long-term support for additional VM integrations beyond EVM and Move, with SolanaVM currently in development. This approach reflects a broader vision of universal Web3 composability, where developers can launch applications once, then reach users on any network without friction or fragmentation.

Accessing Supra’s MultiVM Infrastructure

Developers building high-performance dApps in Solidity are now invited to apply for Supra’s MultiVM Testnet and associated grant program. The program offers early access to Supra’s next-generation infrastructure, engineering support, and funding for projects that demonstrate strong technical merit and alignment with Supra’s multi-chain vision. Interested development teams may apply directly via the official application portal.

About Supra

Supra is the first chain built for Automatic DeFi (AutoFi), a novel self-operating automated financial system that also serves as the perfect framework for crypto AI Agents, built upon its vertically integrated Layer-1 blockchain with built-in high-speed smart contracts, native price oracles, system-level automation and bridgeless cross-chain messaging.

Supra’s vertical stack unlocks all-new AutoFi primitives that can generate fair recurring protocol revenue and redistribute it across the ecosystem, reducing reliance on inflationary block rewards entirely over time. This stack also equips onchain AI Agents with all the tools they need to run a wide variety of powerful DeFi workflows for users automatically, autonomously, and securely.

Buenos Aires, Argentina, November 18th, 2025, Chainwire

Today, the Filecoin ecosystem launched Filecoin Onchain Cloud, a decentralized cloud platform offering verifiable storage, fast retrieval, and fully onchain programmable payments. Early integrations are from the ERC-8004 community, Ethereum Name Service (ENS), KYVE, Monad, Safe, Akave, Storacha, Geo Podcasts, and more. The launch was announced at DePIN Day Buenos Aires, hosted by Fluence.

Centralized Outages Expose Crypto’s Dependence

Recent outages at major cloud providers have taken Web3 offline, underscoring its reliance on centralized infrastructure. Filecoin Onchain Cloud offers a verifiable alternative for builders seeking open, resilient systems.

New pressures are also straining centralized stacks. AI systems produce data at massive scale, governments dictate where it can reside, and onchain AI agents now need different infrastructure.

A Foundation for Verifiable Infrastructure

Filecoin Onchain Cloud meets that demand by expanding the Filecoin network into a programmable layer for verifiable cloud services, enabling developers to compose storage, retrieval, and payment logic onchain.

“Filecoin Onchain Cloud brings onchain guarantees like verifiability, programmability, and openness to cloud-scale infra services,” says Molly Mackinlay, CEO, FilOz. “With storage, retrieval, and payments that are all fully composable and auditable onchain, all Web3 dApps, agents, and infra networks can be truly unstoppable. Filecoin Onchain Cloud provides the building blocks applications need for a Cambrian explosion of onchain services powered by the global network of Filecoin service providers. Builders deserve a cloud built on proofs, not promises!”

Filecoin Onchain Cloud emerges from years of collaboration across the Filecoin ecosystem, uniting hot storage proofs, composable smart contracts, and onchain payments.

Filecoin Pin, its first developer toolkit, persists IPFS content on Filecoin through simple, accessible tools.

At launch, Filecoin Onchain Cloud introduces core services that form the base of a decentralized cloud, accessible through the Synapse SDK. Warm Storage keeps data online with onchain proofs, Filecoin Pay automates usage-based payments, and Filecoin Beam supports measured, incentivized retrievals. Together, they let developers compose, monitor, and monetize data services.

Early Integrations

Developers and teams are already experimenting with early integrations:

ERC-8004 / Agent0

ERC-8004 builders use Filecoin Pin to store agent identities and metadata verifiably onchain. Agent0 extends this by pinning all agent data to Filecoin, enabling tamper-proof discovery without centralized catalogs.

“Agent ecosystems depend on verifiable metadata,” said Marc De Rossi, author of ERC-8004 and creator of Agent0. “By pinning agent identity and reputation data on Filecoin Onchain Cloud, we can ensure that discovery and interaction between agents happens on tamper-proof infrastructure. It’s a huge step toward an open standard for verifiable AI.”

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and Safe

ENS, Safe, and Filecoin Onchain Cloud form an onchain stack for deploying and governing trustless frontends, with ENS for naming, Safe for multi-sig control, and Filecoin Onchain Cloud for persistent, verifiable storage.

“Using ENS to give names for content and apps on the decentralized web has been possible since 2018,” said Simon Schmid, Developer Relations Lead, ENS Labs. “With Filecoin Onchain Cloud it is now possible to properly incentivize storage and availability at scale in a decentralized way. Super excited to see all the pieces coming together with Safe leading as an example of how it’s done,” 

Monad

Through the Monad AI Blueprint program, developers can seamlessly deploy Filecoin Onchain Cloud storage endpoints and build AI systems that are fast, self-verifying, and wallet-controlled.

KYVE

KYVE uses Filecoin Onchain Cloud to durably store Celestia and Story Protocol chain data across decentralized providers. After starting in the Arweave ecosystem, they’re expanding to Filecoin for greater scale and faster validator syncing.

“At KYVE, our mission has always been to make blockchain data permanent, verified, and accessible to everyone,” said Fabian Riewe, Founder, KYVE. “By leveraging Filecoin’s Onchain Cloud, we’re taking the next step, scaling from terabytes to petabytes of decentralized storage. This collaboration brings us closer to a truly universal data infrastructure for Web3.” 

Akave Cloud

Akave Cloud is using Filecoin Onchain Cloud to extend verifiable storage from hot workloads into a decentralized backup and archiving tier built for AI, IoT, ML, and compliance data that demands durable, auditable, affordable storage. 

“By uniting Akave Cloud’s high-performance, verifiable S3-compatible infrastructure with Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s global decentralized storage network and services, users will gain more flexibility and have the ability to optimize for cost, speed, and durability within a seamless, unified system,” said Stefaan Vervaet, CEO, Akave.

Storacha

Storacha’s Forge offers IPFS-compatible warm storage with onchain proofs of data possession. It provides high-throughput, auditable storage secured by Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s verification and payment rails.

“Storacha Forge is a new Filecoin Onchain Cloud service making verifiable warm storage radically affordable,” said Alexander Kinstler, CEO of Storacha. “At $5.99 per terabyte, Storacha Forge is built for the petabyte-scale data behind AI and DePIN. By building on the Filecoin Onchain Cloud, we combine cryptographic integrity with unmatched economics.”

Geo Podcasts 

Geo Podcasts is built on the Geo knowledge-graph protocol and helps users discover top podcasts. By storing its podcast data, images, and knowledge-graph records on Filecoin Onchain Cloud, Geo Podcasts ensures all information is verifiable across applications.

“We want to make sure that all of Geo’s knowledge graph data is open and available to all,” said Yaniv Tal, Founder, Geo. “Filecoin Onchain Cloud gives users guarantees that their knowledge data will stay around, giving them even more confidence to contribute to the Geo knowledge commons.”

An Open Foundation

Filecoin Onchain Cloud lays the groundwork for a verifiable cloud ecosystem and ongoing collaboration with the developer community will continue to grow the stack.

“Launching Filecoin Onchain Cloud is a huge milestone for the Filecoin network,” said Marta Belcher, President and Chair of the Filecoin Foundation. “FOC unlocks critical capabilities that will accelerate the Filecoin network’s mission to build a more open, resilient, and verifiable internet.”

Filecoin Onchain Cloud is live on Filecoin testnet today, with mainnet launch planned for January 2026.

San Diego, United States, November 17th, 2025, Chainwire

LITS Is the First and Only US Publicly Traded Company to Gain Institutional Exposure to LTC, Holding 929,548 LTC Tokens.

Lite Strategy, Inc. (NASDAQ: LITS) (“Lite Strategy” or “LITS”) today reported results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2025, and highlighted recent corporate events related to the Company’s digital asset treasury strategy as well as its pharmaceutical operations.

“Our first quarter was incredibly successful for LITS. We launched our digital treasury strategy, positioning ourselves as the leading public holder of LTC, and updated our corporate profile to reinforce our new focus,” Board Member Charlie Lee said. “We recently celebrated Litecoin’s 14th anniversary and its unblemished track record of reliability and uptime. LITS provides investors the only US publicly traded company to gain institutional exposure to Litecoin, both for portfolio diversification and long-term value.”

“Fiscal year 2026 will showcase the results of the transformative steps taken by Lite Strategy. Since the start of our strategic alternatives process in fiscal year 2025, we have prioritized maximizing the value of our assets for stockholders. Starting with the successful sale of our clinical asset, ME-344 (now known as WE-868), currently being developed for adults with obesity at Aardvark Therapeutics, and continuing through the close of our $100 million PIPE offering in July 2025 that kicked off our Litecoin digital asset treasury strategy in the first quarter of this fiscal year,” said Jay File, CEO, CFO.

First Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 and Recent Highlights

• Raised $100 million in aggregate gross proceeds, commencing the Company’s long-term strategic plan with Litecoin as a digital asset treasury reserve asset.
• Officially became the first U.S.-listed public company to adopt Litecoin as a primary reserve asset with the acquisition of 929,548 Litecoin (LTC) tokens, implementing a new strategy built on a digital asset infrastructure and long-term capital innovation.
• Entered into a strategic partnership with GSR, a leading crypto investment firm, to guide LITS’ digital asset treasury strategy, ensuring robust governance, execution, and market expertise.
• Brought on world-class board members, Charlie Lee, creator of Litecoin, and Joshua Riezman, U.S. Chief Strategy Officer at GSR.
• Rebranded from MEI Pharma to Lite Strategy, including changing the Company’s corporate name and NASDAQ Stock Market ticker from MEIP to LITS, and unveiling a new corporate logo and website. The rebranding underscores the Company’s commitment to building a long-term corporate strategy around LTC as its primary reserve asset.
• In October announced a $25 million share repurchase program, advancing LITS from the initial phase of Litecoin accumulation to active capital market operations and allowing LITS to leverage our nearly 1 million LTC treasury – a key differential from passive investment structures like exchange-traded funds.

“As we progress further into fiscal year 2026, we continue to evaluate our clinical assets including the commencement of pre-clinical studies with voruciclib in non-oncology disease indications for potential licensing to third parties, and pursuing licensing or sale opportunities with zandelisib,” said Jay File. “We will consider opportunities to deploy our recently announced $25 million stock buyback program until our discount to NAV is normalized. We look forward to executing on all our corporate objectives as we progress through fiscal year 2026.”

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $12.21 million in working capital with no outstanding debt.
