OBOOK Holdings Inc. Broadens U.S. Regulatory Presence to 40 States Following New Washington Money Transmitter License Approval

ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 24, 2025 — OBOOK Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OWLS) (“OBOOK” or the “Company”), a blockchain technology firm operating as the OwlTing Group, today announced a significant regulatory achievement following its successful Nasdaq direct listing. The Company has secured new Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs) in Washington, Kansas, and North Carolina, extending its fund operations coverage to 40 U.S. states¹.

The acquisition of these licenses, notably securing the Washington State license after several years of dedicated effort, further solidifies OwlTing’s regulatory standing and advances its mission to establish a fully regulated stablecoin infrastructure for global commerce. This milestone underscores OwlTing’s ongoing commitment to fostering a compliant, scalable, and efficient cross-border payments ecosystem through its OwlPay stablecoin platform.

“Achieving our regulatory presence across 40 U.S. states signifies more than mere compliance; it’s a fundamental step towards leadership,” stated Darren Wang, Founder and CEO at OwlTing Group. “As the worldwide payments sector transitions towards stablecoin rails, our payment suite, OwlPay, is constructing the vital infrastructure upon which others will depend. We are dedicated to making international transactions faster, more secure, and more cost-effective for enterprises around the globe.”

OwlTing is actively expanding its global regulatory framework by pursuing Money Transmitter Licenses or their equivalents in the remaining U.S. states. Within the EU, the Company is upgrading its Virtual Assets Service Provider (VASP) license in Poland to a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) license under the EU’s MiCA framework and applying for an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license. In Japan, the Company has obtained an Electronic Payment Intermediary Service Provider (Bank API license) with additional applications pending for fiat and stablecoin licenses.

Alongside progressing its licensing opportunities in Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Latin American region, this positions OwlTing uniquely to facilitate cross-border interoperability for stablecoin payments. With a robust compliance framework built on stringent KYC/AML standards and comprehensive transparency, OwlTing empowers financial institutions, fintech companies, and global merchants to confidently adopt stablecoin payments. The Company is poised to become a central pillar in the forthcoming wave of blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
