Amber International Accelerates Crypto Reserve Strategy with Recently Announced $25.5 Million Private Placement Backed by Leading Global Investors

Institutions Subscribe at US$10.45 per ADS, Demonstrating Strong Investor Confidence

SINGAPORE, July 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Amber International Holding Limited (NASDAQ:AMBR) ("Amber International", or the "Company"), a leading provider of institutional crypto financial services & solutions and operating under the brand name "Amber Premium", today announced continued progress on its $100 million Crypto Ecosystem Reserve Strategy, enhanced by proceeds from a recently announced $25.5 million private placement.

Participating institutional investors subscribed at a price of US$10.45 per American Depositary Share (ADS), determined based on a 5% discount to the 3-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of AMBR's ADSs on Nasdaq between June 25 and June 27, 2025. This corresponds to US$2.09 per Class A ordinary share, based on the 5:1 ratio of Class A ordinary shares to ADSs. The private placement involved the issuance of 12,200,915 Class A ordinary shares—equivalent to 2,440,183 ADSs—and was supported by a distinguished group of institutional investors including CMAG Funds, Mile Green, Pantera Capital, Choco Up, Kingkey Financial International (Holdings) Limited (1468.HK), and other prominent investors.

Proceeds from the private placement will be strategically used to enhance Amber International's $100 million Crypto Reserve initiative, which is designed to support long-term ecosystem alignment and product innovation. Since the strategy's announcement earlier this year, the reserve has been allocated toward major digital assets including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL), with ongoing deployment into Binance Coin (BNB), Ripple (XRP), and Sui (SUI).

The Company is uniquely positioned to leverage its Ecosystem Reserve to support innovative projects on these blockchains, delivering differentiated products and services to institutional clients. The Reserve will further empower the Company to remain at the forefront of blockchain innovation in areas such as Real World Assets (RWA) and AgentFi, strengthening its leadership in the next wave of Web3 financial infrastructure.
