NewGen has deployed US$1 million to execute the purchase of its carefully planned digital asset portfolio

The company aims to take advantage of positive trends in the crypto landscape by executing a well-crafted strategic investment plan

BANGKOK, Dec. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewGenIvf Group Limited (NASDAQ:NIVF) ("NewGen" or the "Company") today announced that it has engaged OSL Digital Securities ("OSL"), a leading regulated digital asset platform in Hong Kong, as part of NewGen's intent to begin investing in the digital assets space. Following the engagement, NewGen has transferred funds in the amount of US$1 million to its account. These funds will serve as a pilot tranche to carry out the Company's mandate of establishing its digital asset portfolio.

NewGen's portfolio will be comprised of a variety of digital assets designed to effectively hedge risks while taking advantage of recent positive trends in the cryptocurrency environment. The majority of the portfolio will consist of a combination of two large-cap cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum, which together will account for 55% of the portfolio. Another 10% of the allocation will be devoted to the stablecoin Tether, with the remaining 35% spread across several mid- and small-cap cryptocurrencies which, while more volatile, hold potential for a greater return on investment.

Mr. Siu Wing Fung Alfred, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of NewGen, commented, "We are excited to announce the pursuit of this new strategic approach as we seek to provide value to our shareholders and bolster the financial stability of our company. The cryptocurrency market has evolved significantly over the past several years, with increased institutional adoption and growing recognition from governmental bodies worldwide demonstrating its maturation as an asset class. Our strategic US$1 million investment represents a measured entry into digital assets, carefully structured across established cryptocurrencies and stablecoins to optimize potential returns while managing risk exposure. This initiative aligns with our commitment to diversifying revenue streams through well-researched opportunities, and we have developed a comprehensive framework to guide our approach to digital asset investment. We chose OSL as the custodian of the project based on their ability to offer compliant and secure options for digital assets management, and we are confident their involvement will bolster the stability and security of our plan as we pursue this new strategy."
