LGHL Announces Strategic Investment in Indonesian Stablecoin and Digital Financial Infrastructure Provider via Stock-for-Participation Arrangement

Published

on

SINGAPORE, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lion Group Holding Ltd. (NASDAQ: LGHL) (“Lion Group” or the “Company”), a leading operator of an all-in-one trading platform and digital asset treasury holder, today announced its participation in an investment in PT Nusantara Bumi Sangkara (the “Target Company”), an Indonesia-based technology company focused on digital financial solutions, including the issuance of the Indonesian Rupiah-pegged stablecoin NIDR.

Under the Investment Participation and Economic Interest Arrangement Agreement with Meili Capital Management Limited (“Meili”), Lion Group will provide investment consideration of up to USD 12,000,000 through a non-cash transaction involving the issuance of its ordinary shares (represented by American Depositary Shares or ADSs) or other equity-linked securities. Upon completion, Lion Group will obtain a 10% indirect economic interest or equivalent participation in the Target Company through Meili or its designated investment vehicle. This structure aligns with the framework previously established under the Parties’ strategic cooperation MOU.

The Target Company is developing NIDR, a compliant stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the Indonesian Rupiah, supported by safe and liquid reserve assets. It aims to provide low-cost, cross-border fund transfer and value exchange services, while building broader digital financial infrastructure integrating blockchain, smart contracts, AI-driven risk control, and automated decision-making. Recent regulatory progress includes approvals or confirmations from Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK), positioning it as a potential early compliant stablecoin issuer in the market.

Strategic Alignment with Aquila AI Infrastructure and DAT (Digital Asset Treasury) Initiatives

This investment represents a key step in Lion Group’s dual-track growth strategy:

Digital Asset Treasury (DAT): By participating in a compliant, real-world-asset (RWA) backed stablecoin and digital payments platform, Lion Group further diversifies and strengthens its digital asset treasury. This complements the Company’s existing holdings and treasury reallocations into high-potential ecosystems (including Hyperliquid and Bitcoin), enhancing exposure to tokenized value exchange, payments, and on-chain infrastructure in high-growth Southeast Asian markets.Aquila AI Infrastructure: The Target Company’s integration of AI-driven risk control, intelligent analytics, fraud detection, and automated liquidity management directly synergizes with Lion Group’s proposed acquisition of Aquila Hash, Inc., a U.S.-headquartered global AI infrastructure platform specializing in AI Factories, GPU cloud platforms, and AI-native services. Together, these initiatives position Lion Group at the forefront of AI-Web3 convergence, enabling advanced applications in digital finance, DePIN, real-world asset tokenization, and scalable financial infrastructure.

Mr. Wilson Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Lion Group Holding Ltd., commented: “This strategic participation through Meili marks a significant milestone in our expansion into Southeast Asia’s digital economy. By leveraging stock consideration in a non-cash transaction, we preserve capital while gaining exposure to a promising stablecoin and digital payments platform that aligns seamlessly with our DAT treasury strategy and Aquila AI infrastructure ambitions. We are excited about the potential synergies in AI-powered financial services and blockchain innovation.”

The transaction remains subject to customary conditions, including necessary approvals, definitive documentation, and compliance with Nasdaq, SEC, and other regulatory requirements. It does not constitute a direct equity investment by Lion Group in the Target Company but provides indirect economic participation.

Krelva Accepted Into the HBS Foundry Bootcamp at Harvard Business School

Published

September 12, 2026

By

Foster Britton spent four years learning to trade. Jerry Klamm grew a website to $100,000 a month in high school. Their bootstrapped, pre-launch company, Krelva, joins the new program in October and opens Krelva Meet, small live rooms where day traders trade the market together at their respective skill levels.

BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Krelva, a bootstrapped, pre-launch Buffalo company built for futures day traders, has been accepted into the HBS Foundry Bootcamp at Harvard Business School, a new online program for founders working toward their first check. Foster Britton started trading in 10th grade, at 15, before settling on futures trading. Jerry Klamm, 19, built Geometry Spot at 16, grew it to more than 175 million pageviews and $100,000 a month in revenue before he finished high school, and left the University at Buffalo to run Krelva full time.

“Krelva Meet is the room I wish I had at 15.” Foster Britton, co-founder, Krelva

Krelva exists because of how hard Britton’s first four years were. Trading is highly complex, the internet is full of people teaching it, and most of what a beginner finds is confusing, contradictory, or sold by someone with something to sell. The question is never whether there is enough information. It is where to start and who to listen to.

“I started trading in 10th grade, in forex before anything else, and it took me four years to get it right,” Britton said. “It was not that the charts were hard. It was that there is so much online, most of it is confusing, and there is no way to know where to start or who to listen to.”

Today Krelva has two things. The first is a free beginner course that shows people where to start; it teaches the basics without promising anyone a payday. The second is Krelva Meet, which opens in October at $50 a month with a 14-day free trial: a new way to trade Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 futures, not alone and not in a crowd of strangers, but in a small live room with people at your own verified level.

Krelva Meet started with a frustration anyone who has spent time in a trading Discord will recognize. People post their results, and some of those results are real. Screenshots are easy to fake, a few prop firms now issue verified payout cards, and none of it tells a beginner whether the person answering their question is actually where they say they are. So the beginner guesses, and the loudest voice usually wins.

Krelva Meet checks. Every trader has a level that Krelva verifies before they enter a room, and the company is building direct brokerage verification so the check happens automatically. Rooms are built from traders at the same level. Someone who has never passed a prop firm evaluation sits with others who have not either. Pass one, and you move up to rooms with traders who have passed. Get paid out, and you move up again. Alongside the rooms, Krelva is launching a rating: simple, earned over time, and moved by how you answer questions during the session rather than by what you claim. Rooms are not a signal service and tell no one what to buy or sell. They are about the process: reading the market before the open, talking it through with people at your level, and finding out afterward where and why you were right or wrong.

Krelva does not claim to make anyone a better trader faster. It is trying to give people a place to start.

“Krelva Meet is the room I wish I had at 15,” Britton said.

The HBS Foundry Bootcamp at Harvard Business School has drawn attention since its launch for its $699 price and its format, which from Krelva’s understanding pairs weekly live sessions with HBS faculty and guests with AI versions of those same professors, built to push back on weak ideas.

“I’m interested in this new program at Harvard Business School. I think using AI tools to learn is the future, but I’m curious to see how Harvard does it and if it actually works,” Klamm said. “I like that it says the AI professors are built to challenge weak ideas, so I’m going to push it to the limit and see how it performs compared to a real professor.”

The waitlist for Krelva Meet is open now at https://krelva.com.

“Most traders look at the chart at 9:30 every morning by themselves. There are thousands of other traders just like you,” Klamm said. “Why would you trade alone if you could trade with a group you trust? That is the whole idea.”

About Krelva

Krelva is a Buffalo, New York company built for futures day traders. Its free beginner course, built by co-founder Foster Britton, teaches the basics of trading. Its paid product, Krelva Meet, puts traders in small live rooms with other traders at the same verified level to trade Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 futures together, for $50 a month with a 14-day free trial. Krelva was founded in 2026 by Jerry Klamm and Foster Britton. Learn more at https://krelva.com.
