Over the last several months, Currenc reported mixed operational and strategic developments. Q3 2025 results on Nov 10, 2025 showed stronger margins and EBITDA, followed by an Animoca Brands merger proposal on Nov 11, 2025. First-half 2025 results on Dec 1, 2025 highlighted revenue and TPV declines. In early 2026, the company pursued a US$400M Tranglo divestment and addressed a Nasdaq annual-meeting deficiency. The current tokenization news fits a broader shift toward digital assets and structural balance-sheet changes.

Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights Currenc’s move to place its Nasdaq-listed ordinary shares onchain via Ethereum and Solana, aiming for 24/7 access, fractional ownership and integration with decentralized finance. It follows major steps such as the proposed Animoca Brands reverse merger, a US$400M Tranglo divestment and a large debt-to-equity conversion that shifts equity from deficit to US$22.7M. Investors may watch execution of the tokenization model, progress on the Animoca transaction and any future takedowns from the US$150,000,000 shelf.

Currenc ordinary shares launch on Ethereum and Solana, unlocking a new platform for public equity onchain
By bringing its ordinary shares onchain, Currenc is advancing an existing model for public markets in which shares are not only digitally represented, but potentially more functional within a modern financial system. Tokenized Currenc ordinary shares are expected to offer broader convenience, including 24/7 trading, lower-cost transactions, fractional ownership, and integration with decentralized finance infrastructure and algorithmic strategies.
"By bringing Currenc shares onchain, we are working toward a model where shareholders could access 24/7 markets, participate globally, use their holdings more efficiently, and potentially unlock new forms of utility including collateralization and automated trading," said Alex Kong, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Currenc Group. "We believe this is an important step toward a more open and functional future for public markets."
"With Currenc, we are continuing to show what issuer-led tokenization can look like when the token represents the real security and the company is actively involved in the process," said Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize. "This is about more than putting shares on a blockchain. We are working toward a market structure where public equities can move globally, trade more efficiently, and become more interoperable with the next generation of financial infrastructure."
A core part of the Currenc vision is expanding both the utility and accessibility of public equity once it is brought onchain. Tokenized shares can be used as collateral in lending protocols, integrated into automated liquidity environments such as AMMs, and incorporated into smart contract-based portfolio strategies. At the same time, onchain shares can support fractional ownership to six decimal places and enable 24/7 global market access across
Currenc is a fintech company focused on cross-border payments, e-wallet infrastructure, and AI-powered enterprise tools for financial institutions. The company has also announced a proposed reverse merger with Animoca Brands, which would result in a Nasdaq-listed company with exposure across digital assets, gaming, AI, decentralized finance, and blockchain infrastructure. The Animoca Transaction remains subject to, among other things, the negotiation of definitive documents, applicable regulatory approvals, shareholder approvals, and satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that the Animoca Transaction will be completed on the anticipated terms or timeline, or at all. Additional information regarding the Animoca Transaction is available in the company's filings with the SEC.
