<p>收购 BullionFX | Alchemy 资产的战略预计将使 MEHA 能够开发一个以可审计的实物黄金基础设施为支撑的去中心化黄金支持金融生态系统。</p>
<p>俄勒冈州湖奥斯维戈 --（Newsfile Corp. -2026 年 5 月 11 日）- Functional Brands Inc.（纳斯达克：MEHA）（&#34;公司&#34;），一家领先的健康和性能产品创新公司，今天宣布已签署一份具有约束力的意向书（&#34;LOI&#34;），以收购 BullionFX 的资产，包括其核心产品 Alchemy（统称为&#34;BullionFX 资产&#34;），此次交易为全股票交易，估值约为 1.429 亿美元。</p>
<p>意向书所涉及的交易代表了一项战略资产收购，预计将为公司提供与 BullionFX 资产相关的技术、基础设施和知识产权，这是一种围绕可审计实物黄金设计的区块链金融生态系统。在交易完成并投入运营后，BullionFX 资产预计将支持旨在使零售和机构用户能够访问与黄金相关的数字金融应用程序的产品和基础设施的发展，包括支付、超市场收益和去中心化金融功能。</p>
<p>BullionFX 资产还包括旨在促进传统金融系统与基于区块链的网络之间互操作性的技术，包括在以太坊上开发的基础设施。收购 BullionFX 资产是 Functional Brands 识别创新产品和平台的核心战略的自然延伸，这些产品和平台旨在满足新兴消费者需求并为股东创造长期价值。</p>
<p>BullionFX 资产提供了一个全面的去中心化金融生态系统，其中每个数字价值单位都直接与由独立保管人持有的可审计实物黄金挂钩。该平台的架构支持以黄金和美元为基础的稳定币、借贷协议、收益产品和跨链互操作性；所有这些都通过第三方机构级审计机制的实时证明来支撑黄金储备。</p>
<p>&#34;这笔交易将对 Functional Brands 及我们的股东产生变革性影响，&#34;Functional Brands Inc.首席执行官 Eric Gripentrog 表示。&#34;BullionFX 资产预计将使我们能够创建我们认为是物理黄金市场与去中心化金融之间最可信的桥梁。一个完全可审计的、真实的抵押品，旨在为机构和零售参与者提供服务。我们自豪地正式承诺将这一生态系统引入公共市场。&#34;</p>
<p>BullionFX 资产的创始人和开发者 Stephen Moss 评论道：&#34;将 Alchemy 引入纳斯达克将为我们的平台提供市场准入和机构信誉，加速其使命：为零售用户提供一个稳定、透明的金融生态系统，同时连接传统和去中心化金融产品。这种融合使机构能够提供传统部门无法单独提供的竞争性产品，因为我们进入了金融创新的新纪元。我们期待与 MEHA 管理团队合作，利用 BullionFX 资产推出一系列领先的机构产品，包括以黄金和美元计价的高收益交易所交易基金，以及由实物黄金支持的美元稳定币，避免在集中银行系统中持有美元所固有的对手风险。&#34;</p>
<p>共同创始人和开发者 Simon Rahme 补充道：&#34;每个主要金融生态系统都需要一个稳定的基础。区块链拥有基础设施，但缺乏合适的资产来构建。Alchemy 的区块链是建立在$GOLD 之上的——实物金属，经过保管和审计——为开发者和机构提供了一个拥有五千年货币验证历史的结算层。&#34;</p>
<p>根据具有约束力的意向书条款，各方已同意迅速推进最终协议，最终条款需完成尽职调查、监管审查、各自董事会的批准以及其他惯常的成交条件。1.429 亿美元的估值反映了 BullionFX 的技术基础设施和其一系列去中心化金融产品的早期预期收入。</p>

</div><p>The BullionFX Assets also include technology designed to facilitate interoperability between traditional financial systems and blockchain-based networks, including infrastructure developed on Ethereum. The acquisition of the BullionFX Assets is a natural extension of Functional Brands' core strategy of identifying innovative products and platforms that address emerging consumer needs and create long-term value for shareholders.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>BullionFX 资产还包括旨在促进传统金融系统与基于区块链的网络之间互操作性的技术，包括在以太坊上开发的基础设施。收购 BullionFX 资产是 Functional Brands 识别创新产品和平台的核心战略的自然延伸，这些产品和平台旨在满足新兴消费者需求并为股东创造长期价值。</p>
</div><p>The BullionFX Assets offer a comprehensive DeFi ecosystem in which every unit of digital value is directly tied to auditable physical gold held by independent custodians. The platform's architecture supports gold and USD backed stablecoins, lending and borrowing protocols, yield products, and cross-chain interoperability; all underpinned by real-time attestation of gold reserves through third-party institutional grade audit mechanisms.</p>

</div><p>&#34;This transaction will be transformational for Functional Brands and our shareholders,&#34; said Eric Gripentrog, CEO of Functional Brands Inc. &#34;The BullionFX Assets are expected to enable us to create what we believe is the most credible bridge between physical gold markets and decentralized finance.

</div><p>Stephen Moss, creator and developer of the BullionFX Assets commented, &#34;Bringing Alchemy to the Nasdaq will provide market access and institutional credibility our platform needs to accelerate its mission: delivering a stable, transparent financial ecosystem to retail users while bridging traditional and decentralized financial products. This convergence allows institutions to offer competitive products that the traditional sector alone cannot provide, as we enter a new era of financial innovation. We look forward to working with the MEHA management team to utilize the BullionFX Assets to launch a number of leading institutional products - including high-yielding exchange-traded funds denominated in gold and USD, and a USD stablecoin backed by physical gold, free from the counterparty risk inherent in holding USD within the centralized banking system.&#34;</p>

</div><p>Simon Rahme, co-creator and developer, expanded, &#34;Every major financial ecosystem requires a stable foundation. Blockchain has had the infrastructure - what it has lacked is the right asset to build on. Alchemy's blockchain has been built to run on $GOLD - physical metal, vaulted and audited - giving developers and institutions a settlement layer with five thousand years of monetary validation behind it.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>共同创始人和开发者 Simon Rahme 补充道：&#34;每个主要金融生态系统都需要一个稳定的基础。区块链拥有基础设施，但缺乏合适的资产来构建。Alchemy 的区块链是建立在$GOLD 之上的——实物金属，经过保管和审计——为开发者和机构提供了一个拥有五千年货币验证历史的结算层。&#34;</p>
</div><p>Under the terms of the binding LOI, the parties have agreed to work expeditiously toward definitive agreements, with final terms subject to completion of due diligence, regulatory review, approval by the respective boards of directors and other customary closing conditions. The $142.9 million valuation reflects BullionFX's technology infrastructure and early projected revenue from its suite of decentralized financial products.</p>
