NEWPORT BEACH, California, September 29, 2026 (Chainwire) — Amaze Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: AMZE) ("Amaze" or the "Company") announced it has entered into a binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire the assets of BullionFX, including its core platform Alchemy (collectively, the "BullionFX Assets"), in a stock transaction valued at approximately $155 million.

The BullionFX Assets comprise the technology, infrastructure and intellectual property behind a blockchain financial ecosystem built around auditable physical gold. If completed, the acquisition would mark a strategic expansion for Amaze beyond creator commerce and into gold-backed digital-asset infrastructure, a sector in which the company itself discloses it has no operating history.

The proposed acquisition would bring a gold-backed decentralized financial ecosystem with infrastructure targeting retail, institutional and blockchain markets. The platform is designed as a retail and institutional offering for the rapidly growing stablecoin industry — the category of digital tokens engineered to hold a steady value against a reference asset such as a fiat currency — delivering compliance-focused infrastructure for payments, yield, lending and open-ecosystem, industry-wide decentralized financial applications. On the institutional side, it spans gold as a currency, gold-collateralized USD products and gold-backed financial products, anchored to an Ethereum-based Layer 2 network, a blockchain environment built on top of Ethereum's base network, positioned as a stable foundation for the next generation of industry products. Proprietary yield engines are designed to power institutional products targeting competitive returns by bridging traditional and decentralized markets.

The transaction comes amid a broad resurgence in cryptocurrency markets, rapid growth in volume within the stablecoin industry, renewed institutional engagement with digital assets and continued strength in gold as a long-established store of value. Adjusted stablecoin transaction volume hit $1.79 trillion in June 2026, up 125% year on year, according to Visa Onchain Analytics (Allium) — an indication of the scale of the market Alchemy is designed to serve.

"Crypto's renewed momentum and gold's enduring role as a store of value have opened a rare window for infrastructure built on both," said Joel Krutz, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Amaze. "Alchemy is a full-stack, gold-backed financial ecosystem, and we believe bringing it into the public markets can create meaningful long-term value for our stockholders."

The acquisition gives Amaze the technology, infrastructure and intellectual property behind a comprehensive decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem — blockchain-based financial services encompassing lending, borrowing and yield products — in which every unit of digital value is tied to physical gold held by independent custodians. The platform's architecture supports lending and borrowing protocols, yield products, cross-chain interoperability and an Ethereum-based Layer 2 network that links traditional and decentralized finance, while offering the rapidly growing market of gold- and USD-backed stablecoin users broad functionality, including access to yield opportunities.

Following closing, Amaze intends to prioritize activation of the self-custody retail wallet and the yield engines and, as an initial institutional application, to pursue a listed Stable Asset Treasury ("SAT") vehicle for gold and USD, subject to applicable regulatory approvals. Those initiatives, alongside the still-pending definitive agreements, outline the milestones against which the deal's progress can be measured.

"We have seen traditional financial markets adopt blockchain, and more recently stablecoins, as a direct result of retail users seeking more control, custody, and transferability of their own assets. We believe traditional finance will increasingly bridge with decentralized finance to extract the ideal attributes of both industries. Alchemy is well-positioned to compete in bringing to market a range of bridged traditional and decentralized financial products to introduce innovative financial offerings on a retail and institutional level while seeking to mitigate certain risks associated with traditional stablecoin models," said Stephen Moss, Founder of BullionFX. "Joining a publicly listed company gives Alchemy the access and institutional credibility to accelerate our mission. That mission is a stable, transparent financial ecosystem for retail users that bridges traditional and decentralized finance."

Inside the Alchemy Platform

$GOLD, backed by physical gold. Alchemy's core $GOLD token is designed to be backed one-to-one by vaulted, independently custodied and audited physical gold, with reserves intended to be subject to real-time attestation through third-party, institutional-grade audit mechanisms. $GOLD is designed to serve as the network's settlement asset, combining the stability of a hard asset with the speed and transparency of blockchain settlement.

Built for the stablecoin industry. Alchemy is a retail and institutional platform designed for the rapidly growing stablecoin industry. Its compliance-focused architecture is built to support gold-linked payments, yield, lending and borrowing, cross-chain interoperability and open-ecosystem DeFi applications that third-party developers can build on.

Institutional gold infrastructure on Ethereum Layer 2. For institutions, Alchemy provides gold-based infrastructure spanning gold as a currency, gold-collateralized USD products and gold-backed financial products. Running on an Ethereum-based Layer 2 network, it is designed to bring gold stability on-chain as a foundation for future industry products.

Proprietary yield engines. Alchemy's proprietary yield engines for gold and USD are designed to power institutional products targeting competitive returns by bridging traditional and decentralized markets.

Self-custody for retail. A planned self-custody retail wallet is designed to give users direct access to gold-linked payments, yield and DeFi applications while keeping control of their own assets.

"Stablecoins have proven the for digital money. The next question is what that money is anchored to," said Simon Rahme, Co-Founder and CTO of BullionFX | Alchemy. "We engineered Alchemy's Layer 2 so that gold sits inside the settlement layer itself rather than on top of it. That gives developers and institutions a base for payments, lending and yield products, with reserves designed to be verifiable on-chain."

Transaction Terms

Under the LOI, which contains certain binding provisions, the parties will work toward definitive agreements, the customary next step before a transaction announced at the letter-of-intent stage can be signed and closed. If consummated, the transaction will result in a significant issuance of Amaze common stock to BullionFX — meaning the consideration would be delivered in newly issued Amaze shares rather than cash. Final terms are subject to due diligence, regulatory review, approval by each party's board of directors and other customary closing conditions, the checkpoints that stand between this announcement and any completed deal. Amaze's own forward-looking disclosures single out the significant stockholder dilution that would accompany that share issuance among the transaction's principal risks.
