Unlocking the potential of digital assets for institutions and fueling Amber International's strategic expansion

SINGAPORE , May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Amber International Holding Limited (Nasdaq: AMBR)  ("Amber International", "AMBR", "we", "us", or the "Company"), a leading provider of institutional crypto financial services and operating under the brand name "Amber Premium", today announced the launch of its upsized crypto ecosystem reserve plan of US$100 million. The strategic treasury reserve initiative is designed to accelerate the Company's expansion and cement its leadership at the intersection of traditional and decentralized finance.

Differentiating from other treasury holdings, the reserve is also enabled with a forward-leaning mechanism architected on the proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) engine to support high-impact blockchain ecosystems and develop new business verticals with adaptive strategic expansion. The reserve strategy will initially focus on high-conviction digital assets, such as Binance Coin (BNB), Solana (SOL), Sui (SUI), Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH) — with flexibility to expand into other ecosystem-aligned tokens as well as allocate funds for stablecoins like World Liberty Financial USD (USD1).

The Company has already activated this strategic impact through its investment in DeFiDevelopment Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV), a leading operator of the Solana ecosystem treasury strategy, and its strategic partnership with Web3 VC Hash Global on the BNB Fund — a blockchain-native income product tailored for institutions.

"This is not just about holding assets, but building innovative institutional adoption," said Wayne Huo, CEO of Amber Premium. "We're making deep alignment with institutions and increasing our impact within the ecosystem we believe in — and creating a secure and scalable path for institutional capital to follow."

The strategic crypto ecosystem reserve operates within a comprehensive risk management framework. All allocations undergo stringent due diligence processes spanning legal, compliance, technical, and economic considerations. The Company employs strict and ongoing monitoring protocols consistent with institutional standards.

As the Company is expanding the reserve with a growing roster of partners, this will be the new playbook for institutional digital finance with the commitment to unlocking the next wave of adoption supported by capital, conviction, and security for the industry.
