Digital Asset Infrastructure Advancement Funded by $300 Million Equity Investment from OSL Group
Hong Kong's OSL Group Secures $300 Million Equity Raise for Global Expansion
Hong Kong's OSL Group, the first licensed digital asset platform in the region, has announced a significant milestone in its journey with a successful $300 million equity raise. This landmark funding round marks the largest publicly disclosed equity raise in Asia’s digital asset sector to date.
The funds will be allocated towards three key areas: strategic acquisitions, global business initiatives, and strengthening working capital. Half of the funds will be dedicated to strategic acquisitions, continuing OSL's aggressive global expansion by acquiring complementary businesses and licenses.
Global business initiatives will receive 30% of the funds, focusing on payment infrastructure and stablecoin development. The aim is to provide seamless, secure cross-border payment solutions integrating fiat currencies, stablecoins, and major digital assets. The remaining 20% will be used for general working capital and operational strengthening to enhance scale, reach, and competitive advantage.
Since late 2023, OSL has made transformative acquisitions and expanded its regulatory footprint in key markets such as Japan and Europe. One key investor, BGX (controlled by Liu Shuai), acquired 30% of the shares in the financing round and holds significant control over OSL, enhancing its institutional backing.
Ivan Wong, Chief Financial Officer of OSL Group, stated that this equity raise is a significant milestone in OSL's journey. As a pioneer in regulated digital assets, OSL is committed to shaping the next chapter of global finance, advancing the regulated evolution of the digital asset industry, and reinforcing its leadership in Web3 infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region.
The financing demonstrates strong market confidence in OSL's business model and long-term growth potential. OSL now boasts a market capitalization exceeding HK$10 billion, positioning itself as a leading player in Asia's digital asset market.
With this equity raise, OSL aims to accelerate its global licensing, enhance infrastructure for stablecoins under Hong Kong's new Stablecoin Ordinance effective August 2025, and meet rising institutional demand for regulated digital asset services. The funds will also support OSL's goal to solidify its leadership in Asia's digital asset market by expanding internationally through acquisitions, building payment and stablecoin capabilities, and strengthening its working capital.
In summary, the equity raise is a pivotal step in OSL’s strategy to expand internationally, build payment and stablecoin capabilities, and solidify its leadership in Asia's digital asset market.
a) The equity raise will be mainly used by OSL Group to strengthen their business initiatives, focusing on expanding their payment infrastructure and stablecoin development, a significant step in shaping the future of global finance and investing.
b) With half of the funds dedicated to strategic acquisitions, OSL Group is poised to continue its aggressive global investing, acquiring complementary businesses and licenses to further its presence in the digital asset sector and reinforce its leadership in the business.
