DL Holdings’ Interim Net Profit Surges Over 25-Fold as Digital Finance Strategy Accelerates Implementation
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 November 2025 – DL Holdings Group released its interim financial report for the six months ended September 30, 2025, on November 27. The Group recorded a net profit of HK$202 million, representing a 2,511% increase compared with the same period last year; revenue from principal operations reached HK$118 million, up 43% year-on-year; and other income reached HK$194 million, an increase of 528% over the same period. While delivering a comprehensive improvement in performance, the Group has accelerated its strategic transformation and achieved substantial breakthroughs in digital finance. It is among the first to explore an innovative shareholder return mechanism powered by blockchain technology, using technological innovation to practice the philosophy of inclusive finance and enabling a broader base of investors to share the dividends of digital economic growth.
01 Performance Highlights and Financial Results
The Group’s business continues to display a diversified structure, with revenue contributions from each segment clearly defined. DL’s licensed business — the Financial Services segment — recorded revenue of approximately HK$75.62 million, representing a 56% year-on-year increase. This segment’s revenue primarily came from: financial advisory and investment management service fees of approximately HK$23.66 million from DL Securities; securities trading commissions and brokerage income of approximately HK$8.34 million; and insurance brokerage commissions of approximately HK$41.25 million.
DL Securities made significant progress in business innovation and strategic expansion. Strategically, DL Securities has focused on advancing innovation in cross-border financial services — establishing a professional cross-border M&A team to provide one-stop financial service solutions for outbound companies, and forming strategic partnerships with multiple international financial centers to build a global service network. On July 25, 2025, DL Securities submitted an application to the SFC to vary its existing Type 1 (dealing in securities) and Type 4 (advising on securities) licenses to include regulated virtual asset trading and advisory activities (license upgrade), which has now entered its final stage of approval. Management expects that by 2027, DL Securities’ number of clients will increase to 200,000, and AUM will grow to HK$50 billion.
The family office and wealth management business, as one of the Group’s core segments, delivered stable performance during the reporting period and achieved substantial breakthroughs and scalable growth. Both client AUM and management fee income rose significantly. For the six months ended September 30, 2025, DL Family Office — including associated insurance brokerage commissions — recorded total revenue of approximately HK$68.07 million. Looking ahead, the Group expects the number of family office clients to increase to 200 by 2027 and AUM to exceed HK$78 billion (approximately US$10 billion). Currently, DL Holdings’ total assets under management and advisory exceed HK$27.3 billion (approximately US$3.5 billion). As one of Hong Kong’s earliest government-recognized multi-family offices, DL is also the only platform whose business footprint covers Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong SAR, Singapore, Japan, and the United States.
Since July 2025, the Group has raised a total of approximately HK$1.834 billion through two rounds of equity financing, convertible bond issuance, management capital injection, and other strategic investments. Following these fundraisings, the Group’s net assets have now reached nearly HK$3 billion, providing strong capital support for the expansion and technological advancement of its digital finance business.
02 Strategic Expansion and Business Breakthroughs
Supported by substantial market confidence and capital resources, DL Holdings has rapidly advanced its strategic transformation over the past six months. The Group has achieved significant progress across four key areas — asset digitalization, digital asset investment, global ultra-luxury real estate investment, and global market expansion — demonstrating its forward-looking strategy and execution capability in the digital finance era.
In the area of asset digitalization, blockchain technology is redefining asset structures. Physical assets valued at HK$500 million — including the DL Tower — have initiated the tokenization process, with HK$60 million already completed. The tokenization of the HK$312 million equity stake in the U.S. ultra-luxury real estate project ONE Carmel has created an innovative shareholder-return model. The Company plans to distribute special dividends to shareholders in future years based on the digital rights generated from these tokenized assets. In addition, the Group has completed the tokenization of approximately HK$40 million in equity from technology companies such as ByteDance and Kraken.
In the digital asset investment sector, the Group continues to expand its commitment. In computing power, HK$320 million has been invested to complete the procurement of the first batch of high-performance mining machines, and an additional HK$800 million digital asset investment roadmap has been planned — including HK$560 million for computing power and HK$240 million for gold-backed digital assets. Cooperation with Antalpha has advanced further: the first phase of gold-backed token investment of nearly HK$40 million has been completed, and thousands of mining machines are currently being deployed. Continued investment in NeuralFin has also shown strong results — the platform’s valuation has reached HK$546 million, and it has begun preparations for a U.S. listing, further strengthening the Group’s digital finance ecosystem.
In global ultra-luxury real estate investment, after eight years of dedicated development, DL’s U.S. real estate project ONE Carmel in California has obtained the White Paper issued by the California Department of Real Estate, indicating that the project has passed more than 300 stringent government reviews and completed full certification of land planning, infrastructure, and homeowner-protection systems. The project’s land valuation has exceeded HK$1.56 billion (approximately US$200 million), and the total development value of the Carmel project is expected to exceed HK$15.6 billion (approximately US$2 billion).
In global market expansion, the Group has made notable achievements. DL Holdings subscribed up to US$12 million in newly issued shares of Swiss-listed Youngtimers AG, becoming its largest institutional shareholder and successfully expanding its business network to Zurich and Sydney. These achievements provide a strong foundation for the Group’s future development and its ability to deliver enhanced shareholder returns.
03 Innovative Returns and Value Sharing
DL Holdings firmly believes that corporate value creation must be shared with shareholders. The Group is actively applying innovative digital-finance solutions to convert physical assets into direct shareholder benefits. For its landmark Hong Kong property, the DL Tower — valued at up to HK$500 million — the Group plans to distribute special dividends valued at up to HK$60 million to eligible shareholders through compliant tokenization. At the same time, DL will tokenize its HK$312 million (approximately US$40 million) equity stake in the ONE Carmel project in California and plans to distribute this as special dividends to shareholders in the future. These initiatives allow shareholders to directly hold on-chain assets and share the appreciation value of top-tier real estate projects — establishing a new model of shareholder return.
To demonstrate strong confidence in the Company’s long-term development, controlling shareholders Mr. Andy Chen and Ms. Crystal Jiang have voluntarily committed to a 12-month lock-up period during which no shares will be sold. This aligns with the Company’s talent-incentive strategy — including the completed issuance of 90 million shares as free grants, the buyback and placement of 30 million shares into the employee trust, and the planned market repurchase and employee incentives for an additional 40 million shares. In total, 160 million shares have been allocated to incentivize the core team, all sourced from existing shares or market repurchases, ensuring zero dilution for existing shareholders — achieving deep alignment of interests among shareholders, the Company, and employees.
From tokenized dividends to voluntary lock-ups by major shareholders, from innovative incentive mechanisms to collective value sharing, every step taken by DL Holdings reflects its commitment to “growing together with shareholders.” The Group is dedicated to building a transparent, mutually beneficial, and sustainable new investment ecosystem, enabling investors to share the tremendous potential of digital finance and making investing easier for everyone.
Mr. Andy Chen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DL Holdings Group, stated: “Most investors remain far removed from top-tier investment opportunities worldwide. This structural gap motivates DL to push forward a profound transformation: by leveraging our channel advantages and capital strength, we allocate world-class assets — from premium real estate to high-quality private equity — across the globe. Through RWA tokenization, these scarce assets are ‘broken down’ and delivered securely and efficiently to every investor who trusts us, through platforms such as DL Securities and NeuralFin. This is the path toward financial equality and inclusive finance — and it is DL’s solemn commitment to the market.”

After the century-old efforts, the Chinese tin industry giant has built up a complete industrial chain that covers mining, processing, smelting, tin materials, tin chemicals and related recycling, making it the world’s largest refined tin producer in past two decades.
Nowadays, the company’s products and materials are widely used in aviation, 5G communication, PV batteries, and semiconductor chips, enabling it to seize a solid foothold in global tin industry.
During 2021-2025, the company established the “4+2” industrial pattern where non-ferrous metal raw materials, supply chain and logistics, new materials and deep processing, and asset management and supporting industries co-pillared its core business together with sci-tech innovation and talent cultivation platforms.
Sun Yong, chairman of Yunnan Tin Group said that such an industrial pattern not only fortified the company’s existing advantages, but also laid a solid foundation for future-oriented fields. Since 2021, the company has incubated 17 more state- and provincial-level innovation platforms and entities.
A wide array of innovative technologies were thus born, including those breaking bottlenecks in high-end solder, soldering flux, ITO target materials, and high-purity materials for semiconductors.
For the next five years, Yunnan Tin Group has pinned down a development blueprint under which a special campaign to sharpen its competitiveness in mid- and high-end materials sector will be carried out, noted Sun.
Instead of separated breakthroughs, the company is aiming for systematic advantages and currently is shifting towards innovation-led value creation, according to Sun.
In the new era, leveraging a global prospective to win the future, participating in the Belt and Road cooperation and expediting the international drive are all efforts made by Yunnan Tin Group to expand global presence.
Sun outlined priorities of three aspects in this regard, namely opening-featuring cooperation to establish a globalized industrial layout, adherence to green development including developing green mines, clean production and circular economy, and quality-prioritized brand image.
With clear objectives and products of premium quality, Yunnan Tin Group is determined to be a leading comprehensive solutions provider for global tin and indium industries, Sun added.

3,000 Singapore MSMEs to be empowered with practical AI adoption through the AIM ASEAN Programme.
Project Asia Data (by BlackStorm Group) serves as the official implementing partner for the Singapore edition, supporting the regional objectives of the ASEAN Foundation and AVPN under the AIM ASEAN initiative. The Singapore programme officially launched at AIMX Singapore 2025 and has now opened registration for local MSMEs interested in exploring practical AI applications for their businesses.
Helping MSMEs Build AI Readiness and Competitiveness
Small businesses play a vital role in Singapore’s economy, but many still face challenges in adopting emerging technologies. The AIM ASEAN Programme seeks to bridge this gap by offering accessible, hands-on learning designed for non-technical business owners.
Participants will learn how AI can be applied in real-world business contexts—from improving marketing efficiency and customer engagement to enhancing operations and decision-making. The programme adopts a hybrid learning format, combining online self-learning, live sessions, and in-person workshops to make AI education practical and engaging.
“We are proud to bring the AIM ASEAN Programme to Singapore as part of a regional effort to make AI learning accessible to every MSME,” said Jeslin Bay, Co-Founder of Project Asia Data. “Digital transformation doesn’t start with technology — it starts with people. Through this programme, we aim to equip small business owners with the practical knowledge and tools to integrate AI into their daily operations, drive productivity, and stay competitive in an evolving digital economy.”
A Regional Initiative for Inclusive AI Growth
The following statements were originally shared in the joint ASEAN Foundation and AVPN media release, “Helping Small Businesses in Southeast Asia Tap into AI: ASEAN Foundation and AVPN Introduce Local Partners for AIM ASEAN Programme,” published on 3 October 2025 via PR Newswire.
The AI for MSME Advancement in ASEAN (AIM ASEAN) Programme is a two-year initiative endorsed by the ASEAN Coordinating Committee on MSMEs (ACCMSME). It aligns with ASEAN Vision 2045, which envisions a resilient, inclusive, and digitally connected regional economy.
Through practical, localised AI training, AIM ASEAN aims to empower 100,000 MSMEs across all ten ASEAN Member States to use AI tools to improve their operations, grow their markets, and build resilience. Beyond the training, the programme will also bring together policymakers and experts through national and regional convenings, building a stronger, more supportive ecosystem for MSMEs to thrive in the AI era.
“We are proud to partner with AVPN, with support from Google.org and ADB, to announce and work alongside these outstanding local organisations,” said Dr. Piti Srisangnam, Executive Director of the ASEAN Foundation. “The AIM ASEAN programme represents a critical step toward equipping MSMEs with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive in the digital era. It aligns closely with the aspirations of ASEAN Vision 2045, particularly in fostering a resilient and inclusive digital economy. By helping MSMEs across the region understand and use AI in practical, everyday ways, we’re investing in the long-term strength and sustainability of Southeast Asia’s economy.”
AIM ASEAN’s endorsement by ACCMSME confirms its strong alignment with ASEAN’s ongoing efforts to help MSMEs adapt to digital change and stay competitive.
“Building an AI-ready workforce is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’—it’s a shared social mandate that governments, businesses, and impact organisations must act on together,” said Naina Subberwal Batra, CEO of AVPN. “Through the AI Opportunity Fund, AVPN is working with local impact partners who bring deep community insights and sector knowledge to ensure AI upskilling is both relevant and scalable. By strengthening these on-the-ground efforts, we aim to catalyse a digital transition that ensures all workers can benefit as Southeast Asia moves towards an AI-enabled economy.”

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The International Construction Week (ICW) and the Malaysia International Building and Construction Industry Showcase (BuildXpo) 2025 (collectively known as ICW & BuildXpo 2025), held from 28 to 30 October at Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), concluded on a resounding high note, breaking records and surpassing expectations.
ICW & BuildXpo 2025 – Constructing The Future of ASEAN Event Summary Video
Jointly organised by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia and Qube Integrated Malaysia Sdn Bhd, this year’s event was themed “Constructing the Future of ASEAN”, in line with its position of being the premier construction industry event during Malaysia’s ASEAN chairmanship this year. Gamuda Berhad returned as a key industry partner of the event, reinforcing ICW & BuildXpo’s position as an impactful platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and business opportunities across the construction ecosystem.
Strong Business Outcomes and Global Collaboration
The event attracted a total of 15,987 industry professionals and trade visitors over three days, with BuildXpo 2025 achieving RM1.41 billion in potential sales through a combination of business matchmaking sessions, hosted buyer programmes, and on-site transactions. These remarkable results reflect Malaysia’s growing appeal as a key trade and investment hub for the construction and built environment sector, reaffirming its status as the premier construction platform in Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
The phenomenal business generated was driven largely by strategic partnerships and high-value exhibition sales:
- Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) and high-level potential deals contributed over RM1.05 billion
- Exhibition transactions and projected sales contributed an additional RM322 million
- The International Sourcing Programme co-organised with MATRADE and Hosted Buyer Programme curated by Qube generated RM30.8 million
The event also recorded increased international participation, with exhibitors and buyers from Malaysia, Austria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, Mainland China, Greece, Hong Kong SAR, India, Kuwait, Myanmar, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Taipei, Thailand, Trinidad & Tobago, United Kingdom, and United States of America.
Among the key highlights of BuildXpo 2025 was the strong participation from the Cambodia Pavilion, which represented the country’s expanding role in regional infrastructure and investment.
Cambodia Pavilion Head of Delegation to BuildXpo 2025, Mr. Ly Salim, Managing Director of D.C.O.N Development & Import Export Co., Ltd, said: “The Cambodia Pavilion’s participation at BuildXpo Malaysia 2025 has been a tremendous milestone for Cambodia’s growing presence in the regional construction, infrastructure, and innovation landscape. Through the Pavilion, Cambodian enterprises successfully signed six MoUs with major international companies from Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea, with a combined potential value exceeding USD300 million across sectors such as civil infrastructure, renewable energy, logistics, clean water systems, and digital financial technology.”
“Collectively, these partnerships highlight Cambodia’s readiness to embrace innovation, technology transfer, and international cooperation. The Cambodia Pavilion’s success at BuildXpo Malaysia 2025 reflects the country’s growing confidence, professionalism, and potential to become a dynamic hub for sustainable investment and development in the ASEAN region. We look forward to seeing these collaborations translate into tangible outcomes that uplift communities and strengthen Cambodia’s economic future,” Mr. Ly Salim added.
A Milestone Year for ICW
The success of ICW & BuildXpo 2025 caps off a remarkable year for the platform, which also saw the inaugural ICW Borneo take place in May 2025 in Kuching, Sarawak. The Borneo edition marked the first time ICW expanded beyond Peninsular Malaysia, drawing strong participation from East Malaysian stakeholders and reinforcing CIDB’s efforts to promote sustainable and inclusive industry growth nationwide.
Both editions underscored ICW & BuildXpo’s position as the region’s most comprehensive construction industry platform that connects businesses, showcase innovations, and champion sustainability-driven development.
CIDB Malaysia Chief Executive, Madam Zainora Zainal, said: “The success of ICW & BuildXpo 2025, alongside the inaugural ICW Borneo held earlier this year, reflects the construction industry’s growing resilience and adaptability in embracing sustainability, technology, and innovation.”
“This year’s strong business outcomes and global participation reaffirm Malaysia’s role as a leading hub for regional collaboration in the built environment. CIDB will continue to drive initiatives that accelerate digital transformation, strengthen industry standards, and support sustainable growth in line with the national development agenda,” she added.
Qube Integrated Malaysia Executive Chairman, Mr. Richard Teo, said: “We are proud to have witnessed another remarkable year for ICW and BuildXpo, which together have generated over RM1.4 billion in potential sales and fostered countless opportunities for partnerships across borders.”
“The growing international participation, particularly through country pavilions and trade delegations, demonstrates how Malaysia continues to serve as a dynamic platform for connecting global players with the region’s fast-evolving construction ecosystem. We look forward to building on this momentum as we continue to expand and innovate future editions of the event,” he added.
The 2026 edition of this event, scheduled to take place from 10 to 12 November 2026 at MITEC, promises to be even bigger with the introduction of a new concurrent exhibition. The GlassTech Asia & Fenestration Asia (GAFA) 2026, organised by Messe Munchen International (MMI) Asia Pte Ltd, is an exciting showcase that will be held in conjunction with BuildXpo 2026, to further elevate Malaysia’s profile in the global built environment.
