This partnership is another vote of confidence in our relentless focus on delivering tech-empowered corporate and institutional solutions to the market. iWOW and moomoo SG have a long history of partnership since the Company was listed in SGX last year, during which moomoo SG became the first digital brokerage to be the main placement agent and underwriter for SGX listings and achieved 4.3 times over-subscription.
