OwlTing Group Announces Direct Listing on Nasdaq
We’re proud to share a historic milestone for OwlTing Group, through its holding company OBOOK Holdings Inc., has successfully completed a direct listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (Ticker: OWLS) — officially becoming the first fintech company from Taiwan to achieve a direct listing on Nasdaq.
Trading began on October 16, 2025, marking a new chapter in our mission to build secure, regulated, and globally connected stablecoin payment infrastructure.
A Historic First for Asian Fintech
This achievement positions OwlTing as a trailblazer in Asia’s fintech and blockchain ecosystem.
While many technology companies pursue traditional IPOs, we chose a direct listing — a feat rarely achieved by fintech companies in the past decade..
As Decrypt reported, this approach reflects our commitment to transparency, efficiency, and long-term sustainability — values that have guided us since day one.
By going public on Nasdaq, OwlTing reinforces its credibility as a regulated infrastructure provider and highlights Taiwan’s growing role in global fintech innovation.
From E-Commerce Roots to Global Stablecoin Infrastructure
Founded in Taipei in 2010, OwlTing began as a hospitality and e-commerce technology company. Over the past decade, we evolved into a blockchain-driven fintech enterprise with OwlPay, our stablecoin payment and settlement infrastructure.
Today, OwlPay serves businesses worldwide — offering licensed USD⇄USDC on/off ramp solutions, compliant payouts, cross-border settlement, and stablecoin checkout services across multiple blockchain networks.
As The Block noted, this listing aligns perfectly with the rapid growth of the stablecoin economy, which is projected to exceed US$2 trillion in circulation by 2028.
Why a Direct Listing
Unlike traditional IPOs, a direct listing provides a transparent and market-driven route to going public.
It allows us to:
- Maintain shareholder fairness by avoiding dilution.
- Demonstrate confidence in the company’s market value.
- Uphold transparency for both institutional and retail investors.
For OwlTing, this move wasn’t just about raising visibility — it’s about building trust through compliance and openness.
What This Listing Means for Our Stakeholders
For Clients and Partners
As a publicly listed and licensed company, we bring enhanced regulatory assurance and operational transparency — critical for institutions relying on stablecoin infrastructure.
For Shareholders and Investors
The listing opens access to global capital markets, providing liquidity while maintaining our long-term focus on building sustainable, compliant financial infrastructure.
For the Market
Our Nasdaq listing demonstrates that stablecoin payment infrastructure is evolving beyond the crypto niche — becoming an institutional-grade foundation for global finance.
Looking Ahead
As the first Asian fintech to complete a direct listing on Nasdaq, our next steps are clear:
- Expand OwlPay Harbor and Stablecoin Checkout to more partners in the U.S., Asia, and LATAM.
- Deepen compliance coverage, leveraging our 35+ U.S. Money Transmitter Licenses and multi-chain support.
- Build trust through transparency — continuing to operate with the same discipline and integrity that brought us here.
Our mission remains unchanged: to simplify global money movement through secure, compliant stablecoin infrastructure.
A Word of Thanks
This milestone belongs to everyone who has been part of our journey — our employees, investors, customers, and partners who believed in our vision to bridge traditional finance and blockchain technology.
As we move forward as a publicly listed fintech, we remain committed to driving innovation, compliance, and global connectivity in the stablecoin ecosystem.
