Advasa Holdings, Inc. has successfully completed its direct listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, trading under the ticker symbol "ADBT." This move marks a significant milestone for the fintech payment holding company, which specializes in Earned Wage Access (EWA) solutions.

The listing was officially approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 11, 2026, paving the way for the company's shares to be publicly traded. Grady Ryther, CEO of Advasa, expressed pride in the achievement, acknowledging the support from employees and stakeholders throughout the process.

Advasa operates primarily through its Japanese subsidiary, ADVASA Co., Ltd., which offers a platform called "FUKUPE." This platform allows users to access earned wages in real-time, addressing financial inclusion needs in various markets. The company aims to expand its services beyond Japan, targeting countries like Indonesia and the UAE.

WestPark Capital, Inc. served as the financial advisor for the direct listing, while Anthony, Linder & Cacomanolis, PLLC acted as legal counsel. The direct listing was executed via a prospectus as part of the SEC's effective registration statement.

Trading for Advasa's shares is expected to begin shortly, with access facilitated through several brokerage firms in Japan, including Monex and SBI SECURITIES. Investors are advised to check with their brokers for specific trading details.

This direct listing allows Advasa to use public capital markets for growth while maintaining its operational focus on innovative financial solutions. The move also reflects a growing trend among fintech companies to go public, signaling confidence in the sector's potential.
