Antalpha emphasizes the high alignment with industry leaders on the vision of "Bitcoin-backed digital banking" at Bitcoin MENA 2025

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates --- December 11, 2025 --- As a global leading fintech platform in the Bitcoin ecosystem, Antalpha Platform Holding Co. (NASDAQ: ANTA) today released an official statement summarizing and reflecting on the company's significant participation and industry insights as the "Title Sponsor" of the Bitcoin MENA 2025 conference.

Bitcoin MENA 2025 was successfully held in Abu Dhabi, UAE, from December 8 to 9, bringing together key figures from the global crypto and financial sectors, including Binance founder CZ and MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, along with numerous institutional participants, policymakers, and technology innovators.

During the conference, CZ shared his view that Bitcoin may be breaking through the traditional four-year halving cycle and entering a "super cycle" driven by macro factors and institutional capital. Michael Saylor presented a more forward-looking industry blueprint, depicting a new financial architecture where Bitcoin serves as the underlying reserve asset, and digital credit is issued by regulatory bodies and national financial institutions, termed "Bitcoin-backed digital banking." He pointed out that an increasing number of large U.S. banks have begun to engage in Bitcoin custody and credit services, indicating that Bitcoin is evolving from a "speculative asset" to an "underlying asset of regulated financial infrastructure."

Saylor's views are highly aligned with Antalpha's long-term strategy. As one of the few global fintech platforms capable of providing large-scale, long-term, fixed-rate institutional financing solutions backed by Bitcoin, Antalpha has been dedicated to promoting Bitcoin as the underlying reserve asset for institutional credit, corporate treasury assets, and multi-asset financial service systems. Over the past year, the company has continuously improved its multi-asset collateral lending infrastructure, with operations covering Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, and has been collaborating with global traditional financial institutions to explore the compliance and product innovation pathways for Bitcoin within the traditional financial system.

Bitcoin MENA 2025 also marked Antalpha's first major global industry appearance after completing its traditional IPO on NASDAQ in May 2025. This milestone demonstrates the company's long-term commitment to transparency, regulatory compliance, and institutional governance, which are essential for Bitcoin's integration into the global financial system in the future.

Dr. Derar Islim, Antalpha's Chief Operating Officer and CEO for the Americas and Europe, Middle East, and Africa, stated:

"Bitcoin MENA 2025 clearly showcases the shifting focus of the global Bitcoin narrative—from short-term price fluctuations to long-term financial infrastructure development. The concept of 'Bitcoin-backed digital banking' proposed by Michael Saylor aligns perfectly with Antalpha's strategic direction over the years. We believe that Bitcoin is not only digital gold but will also become the underlying reserve asset of the institutional credit market and modern financial system. Antalpha's mission is to provide the necessary technology, financing tools, and risk management capabilities for this future in a transparent, robust, and institutional manner."

The conference further highlighted Abu Dhabi's strategic position in the global digital asset space. The UAE, with its advanced regulatory framework, long-term energy strategy, and increasing institutional participation, is becoming an important hub in areas such as mining, custody, infrastructure, and cross-border financing, which are highly synergistic with Antalpha's global business layout.

As revealed by the industry trends at Bitcoin MENA 2025, the next phase for Bitcoin will focus on: deeper integration into the regulated financial system, continued growth of corporate treasury and institutional asset allocation, and a new wave of development surrounding the "Bitcoin-backed financial architecture." Antalpha will continue to leverage its deep expertise in technology, risk control, and large-scale financing capabilities to promote the long-term robust development of the Bitcoin ecosystem and play a key role in the global digital financial system.
