AOFEX Development

In 2021, AOFEX will further promote the business, fully launch the global strategic plan, and establish more branches in different countries around the world, bringing qualify services to more regions.
The establishment of Japan Branch will provide cryptocurrency services to users in Japan and other Asian regions, which is another localized service after Canada Branch.
Establish branches in more countries/regions
To implement this Plan, AOFEX, based on the service system, cryptocurrency industry, and market demands, strives to offer local services in countries and regions, enriches local blockchain asset exchange service with the guidance of local policies, and provides diverse and comprehensive trading products and quality financial services for global users at the bigger picture.
Provide professional services based on the practical situations in Japan
For cryptocurrency regulation, Japan leads the way. In April 2017, Japan has enacted the Amended Fund Settlement Act on cryptocurrencies. More laws have been implemented, such as the Fund Settlement Implementation Act, Decrees on Cryptocurrency Exchange by the Industry Cabinet Office and other related regulations. At the same time, the Financial Services Agency also issued a number of guidelines and decrees to support the specific implementation of such regulations. To accelerate the application of cryptocurrency, relevant regulations have contributed to the compilation of other laws and regulations, such as the Financial Commodity Exchange Act and the Banking Act. In this case, AOFEX will develop a digital asset service system suitable for the local development based relevant policies.
For asset services, nearly $100 million of digital assets on crypto exchanges in Japan were hacked, triggering panic. AOFEX always values the security. As AOFEX launches its branch in Japan, it will bring safe and reliable services to users and develop local digital finance.
Integrate with the platform’s ecosystems to enhance value
Expanding businesses——OT is a digital asset on ERC20 issued by AOFEX. The application scenarios of OT cover all products and rights and interests on the platform, including but not limited to deducting fees, obtaining airdrop rewards, preferential purchase of hot saving products, bonus rebate, positions and mining, AP integration branch, etc. As AOFEX is growing, its OT businesses are expanding to improve the ecosystem of AOFEX.
With the business development and layout of AOFEX and growing OT, AOFEX ecosystem will be improved a lot in a short time. Since the establishment of Canada Branch, OT has gone up steadily, with an increase of 159.12% in 30 days, quoting 6.7513 USDT now. As OT goes up steadily and its mechanism is being improved, AOFEX ecosystem will also grow bigger, to contribute to the mutual development.
Expanding Business scope ——OT (Option Token) is a digital asset issued by AOFEX based on ERC20, covering all businesses of the platform in the world. The functions of OT cover all products and rights and interests in the platform, including but not limited to: deducting fees, obtaining air drop awards, preferential purchase of hot financial products, bonus rebate, mining, AP integration branch, etc.
With the development of AOFEX, more abundant business scope of OT will be explored, developing the AOFEX ecology.
。
Well-performed deflation mechanism——To increase the ecological value of OT, the platform will establish a sound deflation mechanism, and adopt the mode of burning before output, where the amount of burning is ≧ the amount of output. After the launch of OT, the circulation volume on the secondary market does not exceed 20% (20 million) of the total amount, until the total amount reaches 20 million. AOFEX exchange uses 20% of profits from transaction fees per month to repurchase OT from secondary markets and burn it. Besides, OT is burnt along with the launch of new projects. Through burning by repurchase and listing, the total amount of OT is decreased to improve its scarcity, provide stable necessities and accelerate the burning schedule, build a complete token economy system, and enable OT and AOFEX ecosystem to appreciate greatly. Until now, AOFEX has destroyed 8,844,820 OT in total.
Diverse features——OT is now used for voting, payment, lockup or holding positions. OT holders can enjoy corresponding rights and benefits, and are supported by AOFEX’s platform value. At the same time, due to the inelastic demand of project parties and comments, OT circulating amount will be reduced to create long-term and stable good situation. With the global strategic plan, AOFEX ecosystem scenarios are gradually implemented and OT will be adopted in all scenarios to empower the eocsystem and create values.

Press Release
Plexrum Protocol Deploys Sepolia Testnet Prototype for Real Estate Record and Token Workflow Testing
Plexrum Protocol deployed its Sepolia testnet prototype, allowing users to test sample real estate-related asset records, role-based workflow stages, and ERC-1155 test-unit transfers.
Singapore, 2nd Oct 2026 — Plexrum Protocol LLC announced that it deployed a prototype on Ethereum’s Sepolia test network on September 30, 2026. The prototype enables developers and technology users to create sample real estate-related asset records, inspect associated on-chain data and transfer test ERC-1155 units between compatible wallets.
The prototype includes a role-gated workflow that moves sample records through predefined demonstration tiers. This function allows users to observe how designated permissions and workflow stages are executed through smart-contract functions on the Sepolia test network.
The deployment is intended to test selected technical functions related to digital asset records and token transfers. The current prototype does not provide a property marketplace, token-holder voting, an exit process or functionality for live property transactions.
“Deploying the Sepolia prototype provides a test environment for reviewing selected asset-record and token-transfer functions,” said a Plexrum Protocol representative. “Feedback gathered during testing may be used to assess the documented workflows, technical behavior and interface operation.”
All records and tokens available through the prototype are illustrative. They are not connected to a specific physical property and do not establish property ownership, verified legal interests, investment rights, income rights or redemption claims. Any live implementation would require applicable legal, regulatory and administrative arrangements.
The prototype is available on the Plexrum Lab website. Testnet tokens used in the environment do not represent funds or monetary value. Users should not provide private keys, recovery phrases or sensitive property documents while testing the platform.
Plexrum Protocol may use feedback from the testing phase to identify technical or interface issues and assess the prototype’s documented workflows.
About Plexrum Protocol LLC
Plexrum Protocol LLC develops blockchain technology for real-world asset applications. Its work includes digital asset records, smart-contract workflows and infrastructure used to explore real estate-related tokenization processes.

Houston, Texas, United States, 2nd Oct 2026 – Post Oak Group, named the Best Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas, reports strong and sustained demand from clients seeking introductions to strategic buyers, as middle-market sellers increasingly prioritize acquirers who bring operational synergy and long-term vision rather than capital alone.
While financial sponsors remain active in the middle market, strategic acquirers, companies operating in the same or adjacent industries as the target, are competing more aggressively for deal flow. Post Oak Group, which has completed transactions across 12 countries and advised on more than $82 billion in total transaction value, says the shift reflects a broader recalibration among sellers, who are placing greater weight on long-term fit alongside price as they evaluate competing offers.
Strategic Buyers Compete Harder for Middle-Market Targets
Strategic acquirers are often willing to pay a premium for synergy value, whether through shared customer bases, complementary technology, geographic expansion, or vertical integration, that a financial sponsor has no mechanism to match. That dynamic has made strategics an increasingly central part of Post Oak Group’s buyer outreach on sell-side mandates, particularly in sectors where consolidation and technology integration are accelerating.
Identifying the right strategic counterparty requires more than a database search. It requires an advisor with deep, pre-existing relationships across an industry’s operating landscape, corporate development teams, founders of adjacent businesses, and international acquirers looking to enter the U.S. market.
“Sellers want more than a check; they want a buyer who understands the business and can help it grow,” said David Chua, co-founder and Managing Partner of the Mergers & Acquisitions practice at Post Oak Group. “Strategic introductions require a different kind of relationship-building. It’s not about running a broad auction; it’s about knowing exactly who the right three or four buyers are before the process even starts.”
A Network That Puts the Right Buyers at the Table
One of the defining advantages Post Oak Group brings to a strategic buyer process is the breadth of its global relationships. As one of the most connected middle-market investment banks to family offices and venture capital firms globally, the firm regularly draws on those same relationships to identify strategic acquirers and their backers, giving clients access to buyer networks that most middle-market advisors cannot replicate.
With relationships spanning corporate development teams, family offices, and venture-backed buyers across North America, Europe, Australia, Latin America, and select Asian markets, Post Oak Group’s approach to strategic outreach is deliberately targeted rather than broad-based, reflecting the firm’s partner-led model in which senior bankers personally manage buyer relationships from first contact through close.
Texas-Rooted, Globally Positioned
Post Oak Group’s continued momentum in strategic buyer introductions reflects both the strength of its platform and the resilience of the Texas business community. The firm, recently named the Best Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas, has seen particular activity among Houston-area and broader Sun Belt businesses, where founder-led companies continue to explore strategic exits alongside traditional sponsor-backed processes.
The firm’s leadership team brings more than 250 years of combined experience across M&A, capital markets, and cross-border transactions, giving Post Oak Group the institutional depth to run sophisticated, relationship-driven strategic processes while maintaining the agility and client focus that distinguish it from larger, less responsive banking platforms. With approximately 300 professionals across advisory, execution, research, and operations, the firm operates at a scale that allows it to manage complex, multi-party outreach without sacrificing the senior-level attention that middle-market clients require.
As strategic buyer interest continues to define middle-market deal activity in 2026, Post Oak Group says it remains focused on what has always driven its business: connecting the right sellers with the right buyers, and delivering outcomes that reflect the true value of the businesses its clients have built.
About Post Oak Group
Post Oak Group is the leading middle-market investment bank headquartered in Houston, Texas, and has been named the Best Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas. With approximately 300 professionals and more than 250 years of combined leadership experience, the firm has advised on over $82 billion in transactions across 12 countries, with international reach spanning North America, Europe, Australia, Latin America, and select Asian markets. Post Oak Group offers a fully integrated platform spanning mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, growth equity, and cross-border advisory, with a partner-led execution model that ensures senior-level attention throughout every engagement.
