Waton Financial Establishes Crypto Advisory Board to Boost Digital Asset Expansion

Posted on by

HONG KONG, Sept. 18, 2025 — Waton Financial Limited (NASDAQ: WTF) (“Waton” or the “Company”), a provider of securities brokerage and financial technology services, has announced the establishment of a Crypto Advisory Board (the “Advisory Board”). This board will steer Waton’s strategic entry into the cryptocurrency market and enhance the Company’s position as a leader in the rapidly developing digital asset space.

The Advisory Board will be responsible for the oversight and assessment of all cryptocurrency-related projects. This includes creating a crypto reserve, managing a digital asset treasury, and offering institutional-level solutions for clients interested in cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets. Beyond strategic advice, the Advisory Board will ensure high standards for innovation, transparency, and regulatory compliance across all digital asset activities. More industry experts are expected to join the Advisory Board as Waton’s crypto strategy progresses, adding to its collective expertise. Simultaneously, Waton Securities International Limited, a fully owned subsidiary of Waton, has received approval from Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) for its Type 1 license upgrade, opening the door for potential involvement in virtual asset trading platforms (VATPs) and crypto offerings in Hong Kong.

Arben Kane has been named as the first member of the Advisory Board to champion this initiative. Mr. Kane brings substantial experience from his leadership positions at Incentiv, where he spearheaded blockchain infrastructure development, and at Pegasus Capital, where he crafted Web3 investment strategies for institutional investors. The Company believes that his established success in cryptocurrency treasury management, decentralized finance innovation, and AI-driven blockchain solutions will enable him to help Waton discover new revenue opportunities and build a competitive advantage in the digital asset markets.

“We are excited to welcome Arben to guide our digital asset expansion,” stated Tony Zhou, Chairman of Waton Financial Limited. “Our aim is to develop our exclusive AI agent technology, build digital infrastructure, and create a distinct competitive edge in the digital asset arena. We believe that with the Advisory Board’s expertise and our strengthened regulatory capabilities, we are well-equipped to provide innovative solutions that may give clients easy access to both traditional and new digital asset opportunities, while upholding institutional-grade standards.”
