Irvine, CA, Jan. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FDCTech, Inc. ("FDC" or the "Company," OTCQB: FDCT ), a fintech-driven company specializing in acquiring and integrating small-to mid-size legacy financial services firms, announced the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire Alchemy Global Ltd. (“Alchemy Global”), a Seychelles-registered securities dealer authorized by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) under license number SD136. The acquisition is a strategic move aimed at establishing a significant presence in the Middle Eastern and Asian markets, with the deal expected to close by the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

The Middle East and Asia represent untapped opportunities in the financial trading and brokerage sectors, driven by increasing demand for innovative trading solutions. Alchemy Global's established presence and regulatory credentials in Seychelles provide a credible platform for FDC to enter these markets seamlessly.
