Geography
2025The company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and operates from Singapore, which places its core corporate and operating footprint in Asia. Its securities are listed on Nasdaq in the United States, giving it access to U.S. capital markets and a broader investor base. The reported materials also reference market developments in the United States and global crypto markets, which matter because the business depends on regulation, liquidity, and cross-border client activity.
