Taiwan’s OwlTing Group to Begin Nasdaq Trading via Direct Listing
OwlTing Group, operating as OBOOK Holdings Inc., will commence trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol OWLS through a direct listing. The Taiwan-based blockchain company has transitioned from its roots in food traceability and hospitality applications to focus on OwlPay, a stablecoin payment platform for enterprise clients.
"Becoming a publicly traded company on Nasdaq is a landmark achievement for OwlTing," said founder and CEO Darren Wang. The company claims to be Asia's first fintech firm to achieve a direct Nasdaq listing, a rare feat in public market debuts.
The listing marks a significant milestone for the blockchain payment sector, demonstrating growing institutional acceptance of stablecoin-based financial infrastructure. OwlTing's compliance-first approach has positioned it as a bridge between traditional finance and digital asset innovation.
