Intchains Expands Collaboration with FalconX to Optimize ETH Acquisition and Enhance Yield

SINGAPORE, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Intchains Group Limited (NASDAQ:ICG) ("we," or the "Company"), a company engaged in the provision of altcoin mining products, strategic acquisition and holding of Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies, and active development of innovative Web3 applications, today announced that it is collaborating with FalconX, the largest digital asset prime brokerage for institutional investors, to expand the Company's ETH digital asset treasury. The collaboration aims to enhance ETH acquisition efficiency and explore potential return enhancements through a structured ETH yield strategy, subject to market conditions and risk considerations.

The cooperation focuses on two key aspects:

Optimized ETH Acquisition: FalconX will implement customized derivatives-based trading strategies such as funded put selling for Intchains, which may enable the Company to acquire ETH while potentially generating premium income.

ETH Yield Enhancement Strategy: FalconX's platform will enable Intchains to pursue yield generation on its ETH holdings through a combination of lending and derivatives-based strategies, with the goal of improving returns relative to Intchain's current passive ETH accumulation and staking approach. Based on preliminary modeling, Intchains annualized yield on its ETH holdings could be as high as 10%.

Mr. Qiang Ding, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Intchains, commented, "We are excited to strengthen our collaboration with FalconX aiming to enhance our ETH accumulation strategy and boost overall yield performance. Through this initiative, we expect to achieve lower ETH acquisition costs and higher yields, further reinforcing ICG's leading position in ETH holding while delivering stronger financial results. We remain committed to our long-term dollar-cost-averaging ETH strategy and believe the FalconX platform will be a trusted partner as we continue to build our ETH position."
