Background of the Business Alliance
In recent years, there has been an increasing demand in overseas markets for financial services combining digital wallets, online payments, card payments, cryptocurrency and stablecoin-related services, identity verification, and transaction monitoring. In this environment, the Company Group has decided to form a strategic business alliance in the financial infrastructure domain with SAKURA EXCHANGE, which promotes the development of fintech-related services for overseas markets, and Highphen, which supports user acquisition in the Web3 domain utilizing Telegram's global user base.
Highphen's TON JAPAN and "Apps Network" platform leverages the user flow on "Telegram," a messenger app used by approximately 1 billion people worldwide, to support user acquisition, ad distribution, and monetization for Web3-related services with a scale of 13 million users.

Roles of Each Company
Highphen will be responsible for user acquisition for overseas markets through TON JAPAN and Apps Network, designing advertising flows, collaborating with Web3-related projects, marketing initiatives, and other business development cooperation. SAKURA EXCHANGE is promoting the development of Mastercard-related services for overseas markets. The goal is to acquire 100,000 users, assuming a monthly usage fee model of approximately 5 to 10 US dollars.
The Company Group, through WHDC Acrodea, will provide AI-powered software to support the advancement of the operational foundation for fintech-related services that SAKURA EXCHANGE plans to develop for overseas markets.
Future Outlook
The Company Group aims to create business opportunities in the Web3 financial infrastructure domain for overseas markets by combining Highphen's Web3 user acquisition support functions, SAKURA EXCHANGE's promotion of fintech-related services for overseas markets, and WHDC Acrodea's KYC, monitoring, and system operation support functions.
