AirWA Chases Institutional Investors

In a statement released Thursday, AiRWA said the reverse stock split would help it meet the Nasdaq’s $1 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. It would also increase the stock's market price, improving its attractiveness to institutional investors.

Following the consolidation, the number of AiRWA’s outstanding common stock will reduce to about 18.98 million from 949.07 million currently.  The stockholders will receive a rounded-up whole share in place of any fractional share that would have resulted from the reverse split. 

In late August, the company, then called Connex Sports, struck a $500 million agreement with Singapore-based JuCoin to jointly establish aiRWA, a next-generation digital asset platform. 

According to the companies, the venture will focus on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization to bring traditional investments such as real estate, government bonds, and fine art into a digital format. As part of the deal, JuCoin committed a $100 million investment in AiRWA, including about $30 million of Solana (SOL) tokens.

A Form 4 with the SEC on Oct. showed that Belfiore purchased 3.21 million shares of AiWA stock between Oct. 8 and Oct. 10, valued at $1.03 million. According to the subsequent 13D filing, Belfiore now holds a 22.1% stake in AiRWA.
