Trump-linked ALT5 Sigma expands into AI payments

ALT5 Sigma Corporation, a publicly traded fintech company that maintains a strategic $WLFI digital asset treasury and provides blockchain-powered payment and trading infrastructure for digital assets, has announced the launch of ALT5 AI, a new business unit focused on expanding into enterprise AI. 

According to the press release, this initiative will converge crypto, regulatory compliance, and AI with plans to integrate with the WLFI ecosystem. 

It plans to integrate AI capabilities into its existing payment and trading platforms to create AI payment rails, which are expected to be more efficient, compliant, enabling AI-driven transactions, AI-to-AI payments, secure workflows, and support for AI-native economic activity. 

It has been touted as a natural evolution from their crypto payment expertise, and the launch marks a defining moment for ALT5 as it looks toward taking its decentralized payments platform to the next level by strengthening security, adding intelligence and automation, and introducing AI-native settlement capabilities.

What to expect from ALT5 AI 

ALT5 Sigma also disclosed that it has onboarded Bill Inman as Chief Innovation Strategist and spokesperson for its AI initiative. In his role as Chief Innovation Strategist, Inman will guide the expected expansion of artificial intelligence in the company’s current and future operations via its new ALT5 AI business unit. 

To do that, he will leverage his over 25 years of experience across artificial intelligence, blockchain, decentralized systems, and enterprise technology platforms. 

Inman has expressed confidence in his ability to fulfil his duties and has also communicated his excitement at the chance to join ALT5 at such a pivotal moment. 

He says his focus will be on applying proven decentralized systems, AI strategy, and enterprise execution to help the firm not only scale, but also secure and create transaction-ready AI solutions that can solve real-world problems. 

Nasdaq came after ALT5 Sigma for violating listing requirements 

In December 2025, ALT5 found itself in some trouble after Nasdaq notified it of noncompliance because the firm had failed to file its third-quarter report with the SEC. The notice did not immediately affect the trading of its shares but added weight to an already complex period for the firm. 

Nasdaq gave the company until January 20, 2026, to present a plan to regain compliance. Meanwhile, ALT5 attributed the delayed quarterly report to an ongoing internal review it initially outlined in an August filing. 

That document detailed issues linked to board structure, compensation, and a bylaw amendment affecting quorum requirements. There was also something about a case against a subsidiary in Rwanda and the personal bankruptcy of a former CFO. 

Things became even more unclear when the company revealed to regulators that its auditor, Hudgens CPA, resigned on November 21, 2025. The firm had completed the second-quarter review in August and had discussed potential successors with ALT5 Sigma, but that did not quickly happen and may have caused the delay in the Q3 report. 

Fortunately, they eventually settled on L J Soldinger Associates LLC, and the firm is now the current auditor. The LLC ultimately helped them audit, and on January 12 of this year, ALT5 Sigma successfully filed the missing Q3 report. 

Nasdaq acknowledged that filing on January 14, 2026, and sent the company an official notification confirming it had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), then closed the matter.

After the interest rate cut, how far can the institutional bull market go?

After the interest rate cut, how far can the institutional bull market go?

The dominant force in this cycle comes from institutions. The four major cryptocurrencies, BTC, ETH, SOL, and BNB, have all hit new highs, but only BTC and BNB have continued to rise by over 40% since breaking through their all-time highs. SOL achieved a breakout earlier this year thanks to Trump's coin launch, while ETH experienced a revaluation mid-year driven by DAT buying, but neither has yet reached a new high. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates last night. How far can this round of institutional-led market trends go? 1. The institutional configuration logic of the three major currencies The positioning of crypto assets directly determines their long-term value, and different positioning corresponds to different institutional configuration logic. Bitcoin: The anti-inflation property of digital gold Positioned as "digital gold," its long-term logic is strongly tied to the fiat currency inflation cycle. Data shows that its market capitalization growth is synchronized with Global M2 and negatively correlated with the US dollar index. Its core value lies in its "inflation resistance" and value preservation and appreciation, making it a fundamental target for institutional investment. Ethereum: The Institutional Narrative Dividend of the World Computer Positioned as the "World Computer," although the foundation's "Layer 2 scaling" narrative has failed to gain traction in the capital market, its stable system, with 10 years of zero downtime, has capitalized on the development of institutional narratives such as US dollar stablecoins, RWAs, and the tokenization of US stocks. It has shrugged off the collapse of the Web3 narrative, and with the crucial push from DAT, has achieved a revaluation of its market capitalization. Ethereum, with its stability and security, will become the settlement network for institutional applications. Solana: The Active Advantage of Online Capital Markets Positioned as an "Internet Capital Market," Solana (ICM) stands for on-chain asset issuance, trading, and clearing. It has experienced a resurgence following the collapse of FTX. Year-to-date, it accounts for 46% of on-chain trading volume, with over 3 million daily active users year-round, making it the most active blockchain network. Solana, with its superior performance and high liquidity, will be the catalyst for the crypto-native on-chain trading ecosystem. The three platforms have distinct positioning, leading to different institutional investment logic. Traditional financial institutions first understand the value of Bitcoin, then consider developing their institutional business based on Ethereum, and finally, perhaps recognize the value of on-chain transactions. This is a typical path: question, understand, and become a part of it. Second, institutional holdings of the three major currencies show gradient differences The institutional holdings data of BTC, ETH, and SOL show obvious gradient differences, which also reflects the degree and rhythm of institutions' recognition of these three projects. Chart by: IOBC Capital From the comparison, we can see that institutional holdings of BTC and ETH account for > 18% of the circulating supply; SOL currently only accounts for 9.5%, and there may be room for replenishment. 3. SOL DAT: New Trends in Crypto Concept Stocks In the past month or so, 18 SOL DAT companies have come onto the scene, directly pushing SOL up by more than 50% from its August low. The louder SOL DAT company: Chart by: IOBC Capital Among the existing SOL DAT companies, Forward Industries, led by Multicoin Capital founder Kyle Samani, may become the SOL DAT leader. Unlike BTC DAT, which simply hoards coins, many SOL DAT companies will build their own Solana Validators, so that this is not limited to the "NAV game". Instead of simply waiting for token appreciation, they will continue to obtain cash flow income through the Validator business. This strategy is equivalent to "hoarding coins + mining", which is both long-term and profitable in the short term. 4. Crypto Concept Stocks: A Mapping of Capital Market Betting Crypto concept stocks are a new bridge between traditional capital and the crypto market. The degree of recognition of various Crypto businesses by the traditional financial market is also reflected in the stock price performance of crypto concept stocks. Chart by: IOBC Capital Looking back at the crypto stocks that have seen significant gains this round, we can see two common characteristics: 1. Only by betting big can a valuation reassessment be achieved. There are 189 publicly listed companies holding BTC, but only 30 hold 70% of their stock market capitalization, and only 12 hold more than 10,000 BTC—and these 12 have seen significant gains. A similar pattern is observed among listed ETH DATs. A superficial DAT strategy can only cause short-term stock price fluctuations and cannot substantially boost stock market capitalization or liquidity. 2. Business synergy can amplify commercial value. Transforming a single-point business into a multifaceted industry chain layout can amplify commercial value. For example, Robinhood, through its expansion into cryptocurrency trading, real-world asset trading (RRE), and participation in the USDG stablecoin, has formed a closed-loop business cycle for capital flow, leading to record highs in its stock price. Conversely, while Trump Media has also invested heavily in crypto (holding BTC, applying for an ETH ETF, and issuing tokens like Trump, Melania, and WLFI), the lack of synergy between its businesses has ultimately led to a lackluster market response to both its stock and its token. Ending The project philosophies of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana correspond to three instincts of human beings when facing the future: survival, order, and flow.
