S&P 500 slumps as jobs data stoke economic concerns offsetting Fed rate cut bets
Investing.com -- Solowin Holdings (NASDAQ:SWIN) stock rose 14% after the financial services firm announced it has completed its $350 million acquisition of AlloyX Limited, a stablecoin infrastructure provider.
The acquisition, which integrates AlloyX’s technology and team into Solowin’s financial ecosystem, is structured with a 12-month lock-up period for all selling shareholders, including the core founding team and strategic investors. This arrangement ensures retention of key technical talent and demonstrates confidence in the combined entity’s future, according to the company.
The deal also includes performance incentives tied to AlloyX’s enterprise valuation milestones. If AlloyX reaches a $600 million valuation within 24 months of closing, an additional $5 million will be paid to Peter Lok, Solowin’s CEO and former principal owner of AlloyX. Another $5 million becomes payable if the valuation hits $1 billion within the same timeframe.
"With the closing of this acquisition, Solowin’s vision for a new financial ecosystem centered on stablecoins is now taking shape," said Lok. "The voluntary 12-month lock-up by all shareholders sends a clear message: the AlloyX team isn’t cashing out; they are doubling down on our shared long-term vision."
The company aims to leverage AlloyX’s capabilities, including its stablecoin application platform, Real-World Asset tokenization technology, and global payment network, to build what it describes as a unified stablecoin financial ecosystem.
Solowin noted that the global stablecoin market cap has approached $283 billion as of August 2025, with year-to-date trading volume exceeding $20.2 trillion, highlighting the growing importance of stablecoins in connecting traditional finance with the digital economy.
