VCIG Acquired 250 Million OOB Tokens at US$0.20 Per Token Under Its US$100 Million Digital-Treasury Framework. As of 12.00 A.M. ET, OOB Traded at Approximately US$640 Million Fully Diluted Valuation on Kraken

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”) today announced that the OOB token is now trading on Kraken, one of the world's longest-standing and fully regulated digital-asset exchanges.

This announcement builds on VCI Global's earlier disclosures regarding its US$100 million digital treasury allocation and its strategic partnership with OOBIT, under which VCI Global was appointed as the Treasury Manager of the OOB Foundation.

Under the framework, VCI Global acquired 250 million OOB Tokens for US$50 million (US$0.20 per token). As of 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time, the OOB Token was trading at approximately US$0.64 on Kraken, representing an unrealized gain of US$109.8 million on VCI Global's holdings.

VCI Global's acquisition reflects a deliberate pivot toward embedding digital assets in corporate treasury management as part of a broader institutional adoption trend. The Company's structured allocation model is designed to capture upside potential while maintaining liquidity, transparency, and regulatory alignment. As noted in VCIG's previous announcements, the Company's digital treasury strategy is positioned to scale in tandem with the growing adoption of blockchain-enabled payment technologies.

“VCIG's investment in OOB demonstrates that utility tokens with real-world usage and institutional-grade oversight are maturing into strategic treasury assets. We are executing on a disciplined allocation model focused on long-term value creation for shareholders,” said Dato' Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VCI Global.

OOBIT delivers a decentralized payments ecosystem enabling instant cross-border settlement and multi-chain interoperability. Backed by Tether Investment Limited (“Tether”), the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, OOBIT is integrating crypto payments into everyday commerce while maintaining institutional compliance and audit standards. The OOB Token's trading debut on Kraken highlights growing market confidence in OOBIT's model and technology.

“The strong early performance of OOB on Kraken reflects the growing confidence in utility tokens backed by real products and institutional transparency. Together with VCI Global's treasury partnership, OOBIT is expanding crypto payments into everyday life,” said Amram Adar, Founder and CEO of OOBIT.
