Crypto Investment Analyst

Amber's $25.5M private placement strengthens institutional crypto expansion in US and Southeast Asia with strategic investor partnerships.

Amber International's $25.5 million private placement represents a strategic funding round that significantly enhances the company's expansion capabilities in institutional crypto services. This financing isn't just about capital—it's about strategic alignments with investors who bring valuable resources beyond funding.

The investor composition is particularly noteworthy. Mile Green's involvement, backed by the CP Group family (Asia's largest conglomerate), provides Amber with powerful regional connections in Southeast Asia—a critical growth market for institutional crypto adoption. Meanwhile, Pantera Capital's continued support ($6 billion in platform transactions to date) demonstrates ongoing confidence from established crypto venture capital.

The allocation strategy reveals Amber's focus areas: enhancing crypto reserve capabilities, expanding stablecoin and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and developing AI-AgentFi initiatives. This three-pronged approach positions the company at the intersection of several emerging institutional crypto trends.

Timing is strategic as well. With the planned July 4th closing, Amber is securing this funding at a moment when institutional crypto infrastructure is increasingly vital. The funding structure through Regulation S exemption indicates the company is maintaining regulatory compliance while accessing global capital.

For existing shareholders, this private placement provides growth capital without the market pressure of a public offering, while introducing valuable strategic partners who can accelerate Amber's institutional market penetration across key regions.

SINGAPORE, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Amber International Holding Limited (Nasdaq: AMBR) ("Amber International", or the "Company"), a leading provider of institutional crypto financial services & solutions and operating under the brand name "Amber Premium", today announced that it has successfully entered into subscription agreements for a private placement totaling $25.5 million. This strategic financing is backed by a group of distinguished investors, including Mile Green, Harvest Capital, Pantera Capital, Choco Up, and other leading investors from Asia, signaling strong confidence in Amber International's growth trajectory and market leadership.

The proceeds will be used to accelerate Amber International's expansion in key institutional crypto services across the U.S. and Southeast Asia, with a focus on enhancing its crypto reserve strategy, asset tokenization in areas of stablecoins and real-world assets (RWAs), as well as innovative AI-AgentFi initiatives, all subject to prevailing laws and regulations in relevant jurisdictions.

"This private placement is about forging deeper alignment with strategic investors," said Wayne Huo, CEO of Amber International. "This exceptional group of investors bring global networks, policy insight, and sector expertise that will amplify our growth in key markets. We're entering a new chapter for institutional crypto — and we're doing it with partners who share our conviction."

Among the participating investors, Mile Green brings a particularly valuable regional dimension to the syndicate. Led by a group of prominent investors and business leaders including Chatchaval Jiaravanon, a key member of the family ("CP Group Family") controlling The Charoen Pokphand Group Company ("CP Group") — Asia's largest diversified conglomerate — Mile Green provides not only regional access but also sets the stage for joint initiatives tailored to Southeast Asia's institutional market.

Pantera Capital, a leading US-based blockchain-focused investment firm and long-time Amber Group investor, also reaffirmed its continued support:

"Pantera led Amber Group's Series A in 2019, drawn by a team with deep global finance experience and a clear vision for compliant, intuitive institutional access," said Paul Veradittakit, Managing Partner at Pantera Capital. "We're proud to have been not just early investors, but also early users of the platform—transacting over $6 billion to date—and we're excited to support Amber International as it enters its next phase of growth."

The involvement of both leading crypto and traditional finance investors brings not only capital but also strategic resources and diversified networks, strengthening Amber International's ability to scale rapidly and solidify its position as a trusted partner for institutions and high-net-worth clients navigating digital asset markets.

The private placement is expected to close on or around July 4, 2025. It is expected that the share issuances will be exempted from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act, and the shares issued may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
