<p>收購 BullionFX | Alchemy 資產的戰略預計將使 MEHA 能夠開發一個以可審計的實物黃金基礎設施為支撐的去中心化黃金支持金融生態系統。</p>
<p>俄勒岡州湖奧斯維戈 --（Newsfile Corp. -2026 年 5 月 11 日）- Functional Brands Inc.（納斯達克：MEHA）（&#34;公司&#34;），一家領先的健康和性能產品創新公司，今天宣佈已簽署一份具有約束力的意向書（&#34;LOI&#34;），以收購 BullionFX 的資產，包括其核心產品 Alchemy（統稱為&#34;BullionFX 資產&#34;），此次交易為全股票交易，估值約為 1.429 億美元。</p>
<p>意向書所涉及的交易代表了一項戰略資產收購，預計將為公司提供與 BullionFX 資產相關的技術、基礎設施和知識產權，這是一種圍繞可審計實物黃金設計的區塊鏈金融生態系統。在交易完成並投入運營後，BullionFX 資產預計將支持旨在使零售和機構用户能夠訪問與黃金相關的數字金融應用程序的產品和基礎設施的發展，包括支付、超市場收益和去中心化金融功能。</p>
<p>BullionFX 資產還包括旨在促進傳統金融系統與基於區塊鏈的網絡之間互操作性的技術，包括在以太坊上開發的基礎設施。收購 BullionFX 資產是 Functional Brands 識別創新產品和平台的核心戰略的自然延伸，這些產品和平台旨在滿足新興消費者需求併為股東創造長期價值。</p>
<p>BullionFX 資產提供了一個全面的去中心化金融生態系統，其中每個數字價值單位都直接與由獨立保管人持有的可審計實物黃金掛鈎。該平台的架構支持以黃金和美元為基礎的穩定幣、借貸協議、收益產品和跨鏈互操作性；所有這些都通過第三方機構級審計機制的實時證明來支撐黃金儲備。</p>
<p>&#34;這筆交易將對 Functional Brands 及我們的股東產生變革性影響，&#34;Functional Brands Inc.首席執行官 Eric Gripentrog 表示。&#34;BullionFX 資產預計將使我們能夠創建我們認為是物理黃金市場與去中心化金融之間最可信的橋樑。一個完全可審計的、真實的抵押品，旨在為機構和零售參與者提供服務。我們自豪地正式承諾將這一生態系統引入公共市場。&#34;</p>
<p>BullionFX 資產的創始人和開發者 Stephen Moss 評論道：&#34;將 Alchemy 引入納斯達克將為我們的平台提供市場準入和機構信譽，加速其使命：為零售用户提供一個穩定、透明的金融生態系統，同時連接傳統和去中心化金融產品。這種融合使機構能夠提供傳統部門無法單獨提供的競爭性產品，因為我們進入了金融創新的新紀元。我們期待與 MEHA 管理團隊合作，利用 BullionFX 資產推出一系列領先的機構產品，包括以黃金和美元計價的高收益交易所交易基金，以及由實物黃金支持的美元穩定幣，避免在集中銀行系統中持有美元所固有的對手風險。&#34;</p>
<p>共同創始人和開發者 Simon Rahme 補充道：&#34;每個主要金融生態系統都需要一個穩定的基礎。區塊鏈擁有基礎設施，但缺乏合適的資產來構建。Alchemy 的區塊鏈是建立在$GOLD 之上的——實物金屬，經過保管和審計——為開發者和機構提供了一個擁有五千年貨幣驗證歷史的結算層。&#34;</p>
<p>根據具有約束力的意向書條款，各方已同意迅速推進最終協議，最終條款需完成盡職調查、監管審查、各自董事會的批准以及其他慣常的成交條件。1.429 億美元的估值反映了 BullionFX 的技術基礎設施和其一系列去中心化金融產品的早期預期收入。</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 資產還包括旨在促進傳統金融系統與基於區塊鏈的網絡之間互操作性的技術，包括在以太坊上開發的基礎設施。收購 BullionFX 資產是 Functional Brands 識別創新產品和平台的核心戰略的自然延伸，這些產品和平台旨在滿足新興消費者需求併為股東創造長期價值。</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>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>

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>
