AGM Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AGMH) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Amber Premium, a global digital wealth‑management platform, to jointly explore the tokenization of real‑world assets (RWA). The MOU, signed on January 8 2026, outlines a framework for technology architecture, advisory support, and infrastructure design, while explicitly limiting Amber Premium’s role to technology and support services and excluding any involvement in token issuance or distribution.
The partnership marks a strategic pivot for AGM, which has recently divested its core mining and hardware businesses amid declining mining profitability and high capital costs. The divestitures were driven by a need to reduce exposure to volatile cryptocurrency markets and to free capital for new growth initiatives. AGM’s financial health remains fragile, with a three‑year revenue decline of 8.2%, an Altman Z‑Score of 1.27 that places the company in the distress zone, and a 97 % drop in its share price over the past year, despite operating margins of 40 % and a net margin of 31 %.
The RWA market is still in its early stages but is projected to grow rapidly as institutional investors seek liquidity and transparency for traditional assets. While the MOU does not commit to a specific asset class, it opens the door for AGM to create new tokenized products that could diversify its revenue streams beyond mining hardware.
Amber Premium, the brand of Amber International Holding Limited (NASDAQ: AMBR), is a well‑capitalized digital wealth‑management platform that serves high‑net‑worth individuals and institutions. The company has a solid regulatory footing and a track record of deploying blockchain solutions for wealth management, positioning it as a credible partner for AGM’s RWA ambitions.
Investors reacted cautiously to the announcement, focusing on AGM’s ongoing financial challenges and the non‑binding nature of the MOU. Management emphasized that the agreement demonstrates AGM’s commitment to innovation in the blockchain space, but acknowledged that the partnership is an exploratory step and will not generate immediate revenue.
The MOU could provide AGM with a pathway to new revenue streams and help mitigate the impact of its divestitures, but the company must still address its liquidity concerns and restore investor confidence. The partnership’s success will depend on AGM’s ability to translate the exploratory framework into concrete tokenized products and on the broader market acceptance of RWA offerings.
