Company Description
CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd (Nasdaq: KOYNU) is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) classified as a shell company in the Financial Services sector. Formed as a Cayman Islands exempted company, it was created for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.
The company’s units trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol KOYNU. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Once separated, the Class A ordinary shares trade under the symbol KOYN and the warrants under KOYNW. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a fixed exercise price, as disclosed in the company’s SEC filings.
According to its public disclosures, CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd intends to focus its business combination efforts on companies operating in what it describes as “new economy sectors.” These include technology, financial services, or media companies located in Frontier Growth Markets. Within this broad mandate, the SPAC highlights a particular interest in businesses that operate in the digital asset space and are positioned to benefit from the global adoption of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies.
The company has stated that its core focus is on targets building critical infrastructure in the digital asset ecosystem. Examples cited in its news releases include wallets, custody solutions, exchanges, data protocols, and tokenized financial instruments, as well as real-world applications in areas such as payments, decentralized finance (DeFi), and cross-border finance. Through this strategy, CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd aims to identify a business combination partner that can participate in the development of the global digital asset ecosystem and infrastructure in high-growth markets.
CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd completed its initial public offering of units on the Nasdaq Global Market, with its registration statement declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Following the IPO, an 8-K filing reported the commencement of separate trading of the units, ordinary shares, and warrants, confirming that KOYNU, KOYN, and KOYNW are listed on Nasdaq.
In a subsequent news release, CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd, referred to by its trading symbol KOYN, announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent for a proposed business combination with First Digital Group Ltd. The announcement describes First Digital Group as a digital asset infrastructure provider and the group behind the FDUSD stablecoin. The letter of intent outlines a proposed transaction under which the combined company is expected to be publicly listed on a national securities exchange in the United States, subject to the negotiation of definitive agreements, regulatory approvals, shareholder approvals, and other customary conditions. The parties emphasize that there can be no assurances regarding the entry into definitive agreements or the consummation of any transaction.
As a SPAC, CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd does not describe ongoing operating businesses of its own in its public materials. Instead, its stated purpose is to identify and complete a qualifying business combination. Until such a transaction is completed, its activities are primarily related to capital markets, regulatory compliance, and the evaluation of potential targets within its stated focus areas.
Business focus and target sectors
In its news releases, CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd explains that it plans to target businesses that are well-positioned for long-term, sustainable growth in the digital asset space. The company’s focus on “new economy sectors” in Frontier Growth Markets reflects its interest in technology-driven financial services and media businesses that are building or using blockchain and distributed ledger technologies.
The SPAC specifically notes its interest in companies that are building infrastructure such as:
- wallets
- custody solutions
- exchanges
- data protocols
- tokenized financial instruments
It also highlights potential targets that enable real-world applications in payments, DeFi, and cross-border finance. These disclosures provide insight into the types of businesses CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd may seek to combine with, although the company also states that it may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector, or geographic location.
Capital markets structure
The company’s capital structure, as described in its IPO-related news and SEC filings, is typical for a SPAC. Units were offered at a fixed price per unit, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. The warrants are exercisable for Class A ordinary shares at a specified exercise price. An 8-K filing details the commencement of separate trading of the units, Class A ordinary shares, and warrants on Nasdaq, and notes that no fractional warrants are issued upon separation and only whole warrants trade.
These disclosures underscore that KOYNU represents units, KOYN represents the Class A ordinary shares, and KOYNW represents the warrants, all listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
Proposed business combination with First Digital Group Ltd.
In a later press release, CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd and First Digital Group Ltd announced that they had entered into a non-binding letter of intent for a proposed business combination. The release states that, upon completion, the combined company is expected to be publicly listed on a national securities exchange in the United States. The announcement emphasizes that the letter of intent is non-binding and that any transaction would depend on satisfactory due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, regulatory approvals, board and shareholder approvals, and other customary closing conditions.
The press release also notes that, if a definitive agreement is entered into, a proxy statement/prospectus would be prepared and filed with the SEC, and that KOYN urges investors and securityholders to review such documents when available, as they would contain important information about the proposed business combination.
Regulatory filings and disclosures
CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd files reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including registration statements and current reports on Form 8-K. The 8-K dated September 16, 2025, describes the separate trading of the company’s units, ordinary shares, and warrants, and confirms their trading symbols and listing on Nasdaq. The company’s IPO registration statement was declared effective by the SEC, enabling the public offering of its units.
Investors researching KOYNU, KOYN, or KOYNW can use these SEC filings to understand the company’s capital structure, the terms of its securities, and material events such as the commencement of separate trading or the announcement of a proposed business combination.
Position within the SPAC and digital asset landscape
Within the broader SPAC universe, CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd distinguishes itself in its public statements by focusing on digital asset infrastructure and related “new economy” sectors in Frontier Growth Markets. Its news releases emphasize an interest in targets connected to blockchain and distributed ledger technologies and in companies that may benefit from the global adoption of digital asset-based financial infrastructure.
The non-binding letter of intent with First Digital Group Ltd, as described in the joint press release, aligns with this stated focus by identifying a potential combination partner in the digital asset infrastructure and stablecoin space. However, the press release also clearly states that there is no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that a transaction will be completed.
