As a shareholder, I have strong confidence in this direction and remain committed to supporting the company’s long-term development in gold supply-chain finance and global trade settlement.”GoldCoin Labs is developing the issuance and related infrastructure for Metra Gold (GOLDM), a tokenized digital representation of physical gold. Each GOLDM token is intended to represent one gram of fine gold meeting London Bullion Market Association Good Delivery requirements and be backed on a 1:1 basis by physical gold. GoldCoin Labs’ contemplated business model includes token issuance and redemption, third-party custody of underlying gold, reserve verification, and blockchain-based transfer and settlement.Metra’s broader objective is to explore how Metra Gold may support real financing, trade and settlement across the gold value chain. The UAE, an important global center for gold trading, refining, storage, logistics and re-export, is envisioned as a central hub for gold supply-chain finance and cross-border trade. Potential applications include trade finance supported by gold inventory or gold in transit, working-capital support through refining and delivery cycles, and cross-border B2B settlement.The acquisition builds on ATIF’s digital-asset business exploration since June 2025. The board believes the transaction provides exposure to the growing tokenized real-world asset sector and is expected to further diversify the Company’s business and expand potential revenue sources.For millennia, gold has anchored trust in global commerce. Building on that legacy, the Nasdaq MarketSite celebration marks a new stage for Metra, GoldCoin Labs and ATIF, with the UAE at the center of a broader vision linking gold, digital finance, global trade and capital markets.About ATIF Holdings LimitedNasdaq-listed since April 2019, ATIF Holdings Limited provides business advisory, M&A planning and financial consulting services.Forward-Looking StatementsThis release contains forward-looking statements subject to risks and uncertainties.
