OpenWorld and VerifyMe have completed their business combination to establish a leading tokenization platform for digitizing real-world assets. The combined company, also named OpenWorld, will begin trading on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol 'OPNW' at market open on October 1, 2026.

Matthew Shaw, a digital assets veteran, will lead the company as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer as it advances institutional-grade real-world asset tokenization. Shaw has co-founded multiple technology and crypto companies and served as a director on several tier-1 token projects.
