FINEQIA APPOINTS TETHER CO-FOUNDER REEVE COLLINS TO ADVISORY BOARD

Fineqia International Inc. has appointed Reeve Collins to its advisory board. As the co-founder and former chief executive officer of Tether, the first and most widely used stablecoin, Mr. Collins brings more than a decade of experience to Fineqia's mission of advancing regulated crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) across Europe.

Mr. Collins was instrumental in the creation of Tether, now a multibillion-dollar business in global crypto markets and decentralized finance (DeFi). Beyond Tether, he co-founded the NFT (non-fungible token) platform BLOCKv and SmartMedia Technologies, a Web3 engagement platform used by leading global brands and enterprises.

"Fineqia is building public investment products with long-term value, transparency and structure -- traits that will define the next era of digital assets," said Mr. Collins. "I'm excited to support the company in bridging traditional finance with crypto-native innovation."

Mr. Collins joins Fineqia at a pivotal time. In January, the company launched its debut exchange-traded note (ETN), the Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield ETN (ticker: YADA), signalling its entry into Europe's regulated ETP space. The move reflects Fineqia's broader vision of integrating blockchain technology with institutional-grade financial instruments.

In addition to his advisory role at Fineqia, Mr. Collins is the chairman and co-founder of WeFi, a DeFi (decentralized finance) platform introducing the Deobank -- the evolution of banking from neobanks to fully on-chain institutions. WeFi integrates stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and user-owned yield systems to power transparent, borderless and inclusive finance.

He also co-founded STBL.com (formerly Pi Protocol) alongside Fineqia chief executive officer Bundeep Singh Rangar. STBL is a decentralized platform enabling yield retention from tokenized RWAs such as United States treasuries and money market funds, built on ethereum and solana.

"Reeve's track record of launching transformative platforms speaks volumes," said Martin Graham, chairman of Fineqia and former director of markets at the London Stock Exchange Group. "His insight into tokenization, product design and blockchain infrastructure will help shape the future of compliant, high-utility digital asset products."

Mr. Collins' appointment reinforces Fineqia's commitment to building regulated, crypto-native investment infrastructure. His experience ranges across digital asset creation -- from core infrastructure to institutional products -- making him a valuable contributor to Fineqia as it expands its ETP portfolio across Europe.
