6 terms

lock-up financial

"have agreed to extend their lock-up arrangements with the Company for an additional 12 months"

A lock-up is an agreement that prevents company insiders, early investors or employees from selling their shares for a set period after a public share offering. It matters to investors because it temporarily limits the number of shares available to trade—like a scheduled hold on extra inventory—and when that hold ends a large number of shares can enter the market, potentially putting downward pressure on the stock price and revealing insiders’ confidence in the company.

public float financial

"expected to provide increased visibility into the Company's public float over the coming year"

Public float is the total number of a company's shares that are available for trading by the general public. It excludes shares held by company insiders or large stakeholders who are unlikely to sell them easily. This figure helps investors understand how much of the company's stock is actively available, which can influence its liquidity and how easily its price might change.

money transmission services financial

"All money transmission services in the United States are provided by OwlTing USA, Inc."

Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) regulatory

"operating under a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license in the EU"

A virtual asset service provider (VASP) is a business that creates, exchanges, stores, or transfers digital assets such as cryptocurrencies on behalf of customers—think of it as a bank, exchange, or payment app for digital money. Investors care because a VASP’s security, controls and regulatory standing directly affect access to assets, counterparty risk and liquidity; failures, hacks or regulatory action can freeze funds, cause losses or trigger rapid price moves.

Electronic Payment Intermediary Service Provider (Bank API) regulatory

"an Electronic Payment Intermediary Service Provider (Bank API) license in Japan"

distributed ledger technology technical

"to use distributed ledger technology to provide businesses with more reliable and transparent data management"

A distributed ledger technology is a way of storing a shared digital record of transactions across many independent computers so no single party controls or can silently alter it — imagine the same accounting ledger kept in multiple filing cabinets that all must agree before any entry is changed. For investors it matters because it can reduce fraud, speed up settlement, cut middleman costs and enable new kinds of tradable assets, all of which can affect a company’s costs, revenue models and regulatory exposure.
