STOKR AND MEDAD HOLDING EXPLORE JOINT VENTURE

STOKR, the leading digital asset marketplace and tokenization platform, and Medad, a prominent investment firm, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore establishing a joint venture aimed at launching a regulated platform for tokenized securities in the GCC region.

STOKR raised around US$8 million last year and has launched its Bitcoin treasury with an initial 100 BTC, following the lead of corporate Bitcoin adoption pioneer Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR). Based in Luxembourg, STOKR is focused on bringing new Bitcoin-related tokenized assets and infrastructure assets to market while building the infrastructure for institutions to issue tokenized securities more efficiently on native Bitcoin layer-2 solutions like the Liquid Network. With over six years of experience in the industry, STOKR processed more than $120 million in investments and payouts last year. The total value of assets tokenized on STOKR now exceeds a half billion dollars.

Medad Holding stands at the forefront of innovation in the GCC region, driving transformative advancements across health tech, finance, and emerging digital assets. With a visionary approach to leveraging science and technology, the company has committed $150 million to research and development, reinforcing its dedication to pioneering breakthroughs. Beyond R&D, Medad has made significant investments across fintech, Web3, health technology, and cutting-edge tech ventures, solidifying its role as a key driver of innovation. By seamlessly bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology and establishing strategic partnerships, Medad is shaping the future of digital finance and advanced industries across the region.

The proposed joint venture will leverage STOKR's cutting-edge technology, tokenization expertise, and capital markets experience alongside Medad's deep regional market knowledge and strong regulatory insights. This combination creates a powerful synergy for expanding digital asset solutions. The strategic initiative represents a significant advancement for the digital asset ecosystem within the GCC region and aligns with Dubai's vision to establish itself as a global hub for blockchain innovation and financial technology.
