Hello Everyone,

We have a brand new company for you to look at out ahead of Tuesday’s session.

This one captured the market by storm during Monday’s session after the company released an 8k and released news about a massive strategic merger with Openworld, a company that has played a central role in the development of some of the most prominent projects in blockchain. This one saw a big move today but with this major news just being announced, there could be a lot of meat left on the bone.

The reaction to the announcement was tremendous. At one point we saw VRME trading up 100% on HUGE interest. This one traded over $215M in interest today after trading a measly $115K or so on Friday. Needless to say The Street loved the news at VRME closed up .38 on the session to 1.05. The close was well off the highs of 1.41 which was achieved after the algorithms took over and catapulted this one to a 100% move during the session.

The combined company is expected to trade on Nasdaq under a new ticker symbol to be established in the future. he merger will result in Open World’s shareholders owning approximately 90% of the combined company and VerifyMe’s stockholders owning approximately 10% of the combined company.

The merger will result in Open World’s shareholders owning approximately 90% and VerifyMe’s stockholders owning approximately 10% of the combined company. VerifyMe is also expected to have the opportunity to pay a special one-time cash dividend to its stockholders prior to the merger equal to the amount of cash on its balance sheet prior to closing in excess of $1 million.

Open World and VerifyMe each bring critical infrastructure for a rapidly evolving digital economy. Open World has been building the next foundational layer for real-world asset (“RWA”) tokenization and enterprise-grade blockchain applications. VerifyMe specializes in precision logistics for regulated and time-critical products, as well as authentication solutions that enable brand owners to deter counterfeit and diversion activities. By leveraging Open World’s expertise in token launches, compliance frameworks and market infrastructure with VerifyMe’s capabilities, the resulting platform will be engineered for the era of agentic AI, where autonomous systems depend on verified identity, secure data and trusted on-chain provenance. Turning trust into infrastructure, Open World could unlock a new operating system for compliant, enterprise-grade RWA tokenization.

The announcement follows Open World’s recent partnership with Abstract to launch a national-scale, compliant tokenization engine for infrastructure-grade RWAs, advancing the technical and institutional foundations required for these assets to participate in secure digital markets.

“Today marks a major milestone for Open World,” said Matt Shaw, co-founder and CEO of Open World, who will become CEO and Chairman of the combined company post-close. “We’ve been the token launch, innovation and go-to-market partner for Tier-1 Web3 protocols representing over $65 billion in on-chain value, and we’re now extending that playbook into enterprise applications with real-world impact. By combining logistics expertise with on-chain security and AI-driven frameworks, and backed by strong technical foundations and proven execution in high-stakes environments, we’re positioned to become a global leader in secure, enterprise-grade real-world asset tokenization.”

Open World’s vision is to be the preeminent provider of next-generation digital asset products and solutions that connect real-world use cases and bring them to life on-chain. This can take many forms, from collaborating with sovereign entities to develop compliant, yield-bearing stablecoins to enabling value capture from national reserves and other strategic assets through tokenization. Open World also partners with next-generation enterprises to power a new era of on-chain innovation, unlocking liquidity, transparency and more efficient market infrastructure for traditionally analog markets. The combined company will be positioned to deliver turnkey, compliance-ready infrastructure that addresses the fundamental barriers to digital asset adoption: identity, security, regulatory alignment and trust.

Since 2023, the firm has helped launch and grow more than 30 protocols, facilitating over $47 billion in aggregate peak network value. Its executive team includes leaders who previously held roles at UBS, the White House, and TD Bank’s Office of Patentable Innovation.

Open World advises founding teams, token issuers, and public companies navigating the complex intersections of securities regulation, tokenomics, public markets, exchange strategy, and decentralized governance. Many of the teams it supports are backed by leading venture capital firms, including a16z, Multicoin Capital, Dragonfly, and Founders Fund.

The firm delivers an integrated suite of services at the convergence of blockchain and public markets, including token ecosystem and protocol design, regulatory strategy, exchange listing support, decentralized governance and jurisdictional structuring, and policy advocacy. Through its TradFi Labs™ division, which bridges traditional finance and blockchain, Open World partners with innovative digital asset teams and public companies to execute transformative token and treasury strategies, and to design and implement other high-impact innovations across traditional finance.

Open World also offers fully integrated DUNA Administration services for protocol foundations seeking to decentralize within the U.S. This offering combines strategic advisory, hands-on operational support, and purpose-built software designed to simplify and streamline the formation and ongoing management of a DUNA. Through its physical office in Jackson, Wyoming, Open World serves as registered agent, guiding teams through the legal design, structuring, and deployment of their DUNA. The firm also partners with licensed U.S. accounting firms to support tax filings, grant and expense management, operational execution, and treasury administration to deliver a complete, end-to-end foundation infrastructure for tokenized networks.

Abstract and Open World Partner to Launch the First National-Scale Tokenization Engine for the World’s Most Valuable Real-World Assets

For the first time, the world’s most strategic assets–AI supercomputing centers, strategic real estate and critical energy assets–are crossing the threshold into programmable digital markets.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2025 /CNW/ — The global economy is entering a new era where competitive advantage is defined not by access to capital alone, but by control of computational power, sovereign data, and the infrastructure that fuels modern civilization. Today, Abstract and Open World announce a landmark partnership to build the world’s first national-scale real-world asset (RWA) tokenization engine, capable of bringing the planet’s most valuable physical assets onto a next-generation, quantum-resistant zero-knowledge (ZK) blockchain anchored to Ethereum.

For decades, the planet’s most valuable assets have existed beyond the reach of modern digital markets. Hyperscale AI megacenters humming with the densest clusters of NVIDIA’s most advanced GPUs. Oil fields that fuel nations strategic national infrastructure. Energy grids, industrial complexes, sovereign reserves–all immense in value, yet trapped inside analog capital structures accessible only to a narrow band of global institutions.

Now, for the first time, these assets are stepping into the digital world and accessible to mainstream global investors.

AI megacenters and national energy reserves can be represented as tokenized Blue Chip real-world assets–unlocking liquidity, enabling compliant fractional ownership, and giving governments, regulated central organizations, and enterprises unprecedented control over how capital forms, moves, and interacts with their most strategic physical infrastructure and assets.

The Infrastructure: An Enterprise-Grade, Quantum-Resistant ZK Blockchain

At the center of this transformation will be Abstract’s next-generation, quantum-resistant ZK blockchain, backed by leading technology investors, including Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, demonstrating how advanced blockchain technologies will enable new forms of tokenization by sovereign nations and enterprises operating at global scale.

Unlike legacy blockchains that expose data, or permissioned chains controlled by small validator groups, Abstract aims to deliver the scale, privacy, and decentralization guarantees required for trillion-dollar capital systems:

  • Over 10,000 TPS throughput
  • Low cost per transaction ($0.001)
  • Zero-knowledge cryptography for user and data privacy
  • Embedded policy controls, and absolute sovereign and enterprise-grade command.

The very pillars required for secure, compliant, nation-grade digital asset infrastructure.

Our partnership with Abstract aims to unlock a new category of Blue Chip RWAs,” said Matt Shaw, Co-founder and CEO of Open World. Open World has already tokenized over $65 billion in premium crypto assets to date, providing institutional-scale infrastructure for real-world asset deployment. “Our RWA tokenization engine on Abstract will be a quantum-resistant platform for national economies–built for countries and enterprises that manage critical infrastructure, sovereign monetary systems, and multi-trillion-dollar asset portfolios.

Internet Capital Markets: Tokenizing the World’s Most Premium RWAs

Through this alliance, AI supercomputing facilities–cathedrals of silicon and energy–can be expressed as programmable Blue Chip digital assets. Oil fields and energy infrastructure, long considered too strategic or politically sensitive to open to global capital markets, can now be represented as value appreciating premium digital instruments within fully compliant, sovereign or corporate frameworks.

The implications are profound. Liquidity can flow into assets previously inaccessible. Nations and global enterprises can modernize capital formation without relinquishing control. Global investors can access assets that define the 21st century–not as speculative tokens, but as regulated, institutional-grade digital instruments.

Abstract unlocks what we call Internet Capital Markets, a world where financial systems live natively on the internet and move at the speed of culture,” said Abstract Co-Founder and CEO Michael Lee. “It complements traditional markets with a permissionless, borderless, high-throughput quantum-resistant blockchain that makes capital formation and trading as accessible and instant as posting online.

Leaders from both organizations emphasized that this partnership is not merely commercial, it marks the moment financial systems begin operating natively on the internet: borderless, programmable, always on. By converting institutional real-world and digital assets into instant, compliant, globally accessible instruments, capital can finally move with the speed of culture and computation.

Why National-Scale Tokenization Requires Abstract and Ethereum, Not Centralized Chains

Sovereign stablecoins and national-grade RWA systems require unprecedented guarantees of decentralization, collusion resistance, and censorship immunity–standards centralized chains structurally cannot meet.

Russ McMeekin, Chairman of mCloud Saudi Arabia the Google Cloud Certified Web3 Platform running in the KSA Sovereign Data Center and leader of the global enterprise RWA initiative, explained, “The tokenization of premium Blue Chip RWAs demands the highest levels of security, compliance, and architectural sovereignty. Abstract on Ethereum is the only stack capable of delivering national-scale, enterprise-grade security tokenization and stablecoin issuance, while giving enterprises complete control within their own data centers. No foreign entity can freeze transactions, impose blacklists, or seize assets.

Permissioned blockchains rely on a few hundred coordinated validators, an unacceptable risk surface for national infrastructure. Many public chains have repeatedly halted and restarted, demonstrating that their validator sets can coordinate to rewrite state. For sovereign and enterprise assets, this risk is existential.

Ethereum, secured by over one million active validators, stands alone as the most decentralized, economically secure, and censorship-resistant settlement layer in history. Abstract inherits Ethereum’s security and settlement guarantees while adding:

  • Sovereign-grade privacy
  • National-scale throughput
  • Embedded compliance and policy controls
  • On-premise deployment within enterprise and government datacenters

This ensures that AI megacenters, energy assets, and national infrastructure can be digitized without sacrificing sovereignty or control.

About Abstract
Abstract is a quantum-resistant zero-knowledge blockchain anchored to Ethereum, built for the next cultural era of the internet–where a new generation demands fun, ownership, and creativity, and where sovereign nations and global enterprises are transitioning from legacy financial systems to privacy-preserving stablecoins. Backed by Founders Fund and created by builders behind Ethereum, Pudgy Penguins, and Kubernetes, Abstract powers high-scale consumer experiences across gaming, digital collectibles, and the creator economy, while enabling compliant stablecoin issuance and premium real-world asset tokenization for enterprises and nation-states. Abstract sits at the intersection of culture and computation, building the digital infrastructure where the next generation will live, create, and transact.
