The group's founder, Chun-Kai Wang, hails from the small fishing village of Badouzi in Keelung. From a coastal village to the heart of Wall Street, every step of his journey has been remarkably challenging. Witnessed by family and friends, he took the stage to share his arduous journey.
Holding his daughter's hand, he rang the bell for NASDAQ listing as colorful confetti fell from the sky. He is Chun-Kai Wang from Taiwan, fulfilling his childhood dream of founding a tech company and listing it on NASDAQ in the United States. Years of hard work have finally borne fruit, leaving him deeply moved.
OwlTing Group founder Chun-Kai Wang said: "I was born in Taiwan, in a small fishing village called Badouzi. My home was on a small lane named Wanghai Lane, meaning 'a lane watching the sea.' Starting from that small village, I step by step made my way to Harvard, and now stand at NASDAQ, letting that mission take flight."
From that small village, I step by step made my way to Harvard OPM, and now stand at NASDAQ, letting that mission take flight.

The company's appearance on NASDAQ's digital billboard in New York's Times Square was a tremendous honor for the entire team.

Their platform has obtained MTL payment licenses in 37 US states, plus one payment license each from the EU and Japan, meaning their stablecoin payment technology has gained recognition from three major regulatory systems and possesses cross-border legal operation capabilities.
OwlTing Group founder Chun-Kai Wang said: "If a child like me, who grew up by the sea, can stand here today, you certainly can too." At the listing bell-ringing ceremony, besides Wang's friends, quietly standing by his side was his wife, Dr. Chia-Chi Hsu, silently providing the strongest support, enabling her husband to dream bravely and make those dreams come true.
