Intchains Partners With FalconX To Boost ETH Treasury With Derivatives Trading And Yield Strategies; Says 'Based On Preliminary Modeling, Intchains Annualized Yield On Its ETH Holdings Could Be As High As 10%'

Intchains Group Limited (NASDAQ:ICG) ("we," or the "Company"), a company engaged in the provision of altcoin mining products, strategic acquisition and holding of Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies, and active development of innovative Web3 applications, today announced that it is collaborating with FalconX, the largest digital asset prime brokerage for institutional investors, to expand the Company's ETH digital asset treasury. The collaboration aims to enhance ETH acquisition efficiency and explore potential return enhancements through a structured ETH yield strategy, subject to market conditions and risk considerations.

The cooperation focuses on two key aspects:

Optimized ETH Acquisition: FalconX will implement customized derivatives-based trading strategies such as funded put selling for Intchains, which may enable the Company to acquire ETH while potentially generating premium income.

ETH Yield Enhancement Strategy: FalconX's platform will enable Intchains to pursue yield generation on its ETH holdings through a combination of lending and derivatives-based strategies, with the goal of improving returns relative to Intchain's current passive ETH accumulation and staking approach. Based on preliminary modeling, Intchains annualized yield on its ETH holdings could be as high as 10%.
