Arowana & Co., the global B Corporation investment group, announced that it has launched a holding company headquartered in Singapore to specifically invest in companies committed to the B Corp triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit across the ASEAN.
Arowana’s B Corp holding company will provide a succession and ownership transition pathway for B Corp founders seeking to exit but retain ethos of their businesses
Investment focus will initially be on ASEAN region but in time look to expand to other developing economies across MENA and Latin American regions with large and growing populations
SINGAPORE, 16 April 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Arowana & Co. (“Arowana”), the global B Corporation investment group, announced today that it has launched a holding company headquartered in Singapore to specifically invest in companies committed to the B Corp triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit across the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region.
The primary purpose of this holding company, AIC Group Holdings, is to provide companies that are B Corp or want to become B Corp with an ownership succession pathway, which will respect and perpetuate the B Corp ethos and culture instilled by their founders. AIC Group Holdings is privately held.
In tandem with the launch of the holding company, Arowana has appointed Andrew Kassoy, co-founder of B Lab Global, the non-profit behind the B Corp movement, to the Advisory Board of AIC Group Holdings. In addition, Thomas Ng, a leading B Corp entrepreneur and founder of Genashtim, a fast-growing global social enterprise, has agreed to join the Advisory Board.
Arowana founder and chairman, Kevin Chin, commented: “We have been working on optimising a structure for two years and believe a holding company that has no restrictions in terms of investment entry and exit horizons is the best model that matches the succession and growth objectives of B Corp founders and their businesses. As a B Corp ourselves, we appreciate the dilemma that founders face in this regard. We consider Singapore to be the ideal headquarters for this holding company as we see many enterprises across the fast-growing ASEAN region that would be a good fit. This is consistent with Arowana’s broader strategy of pivoting our focus to developing markets across ASEAN and, in due time, Africa and Latin America with large and growing populations and economies.”
He further added: “I am honoured that two luminaries of the B Corp movement, Andrew Kassoy and Thomas Ng, have agreed to join the Arowana holding company advisory board members. Not only are Andrew and Thomas great stewards, but also world-class entrepreneurs who have led the scale-up of high-growth global enterprises. We expect to announce further additions to the advisory board and the holding company team in due course. Meanwhile, our team is already in exclusive due diligence processes on four proprietary investment opportunities in the ASEAN region that have come about because of Arowana’s veritable commitment to the B Corp ethos.”
Andrew Kassoy, co-founder of B Lab Global, commented: “Since the earliest days of the B Corp movement, we have seen first-hand the issues of succession and ownership transition faced by B Corp founders, especially when deliberating on acquisition proposals from non-B Corp entities. I am excited to join the Arowana B Corp holding company advisory board as I share the vision that Kevin Chin has in creating a permanent capital holding company structure with a genuine B Corp ethos that provides a compelling option for B Corp founders exploring succession and exit.”
Thomas Ng, B Corp steward and founder, said: “Having known Kevin Chin for some time and seeing first-hand his steadfast commitment to the B Corp values and mission, I am delighted to be joining the Arowana B Corp holding company advisory board. Across Genashtim’s operations in the ASEAN, African and Latin America regions, we see many businesses that the Arowana B Corp holding company would represent an attractive alternative to consider for succession and ownership transition.”

Discover how legal clarity, political shifts, and institutional momentum are shaping XRP’s breakout year in 2025. From SEC developments to ETF potential, explore what’s driving XRP’s surge and future outlook.
The landscape for Ripple’s XRP is shifting dramatically in 2025, with regulatory developments, political alignment, and market dynamics converging to create what many analysts are calling a pivotal moment for the digital asset.
With the confirmation of Paul Atkins as the new U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair, and a string of positive momentum in both price action and institutional adoption, XRP could be poised for a breakout year.
SEC Shake-Up and Ripple Lawsuit Developments
On April 9, the U.S. Senate confirmed President Donald Trump’s nominee Paul Atkins as Chair of the SEC, replacing Acting Chair Mark Uyeda.
Atkins, known for his pro-crypto stance, is expected to usher in a regulatory regime more favorable to digital assets—a stark contrast to his predecessor Gary Gensler, who was widely criticized by the crypto industry for his aggressive enforcement approach.
The ripple effect of Atkins’ appointment was felt immediately. On April 10, Ripple and the SEC jointly filed to suspend the appeal proceedings in the SEC v. Ripple lawsuit.
This effectively delayed Ripple’s required reply brief, previously due on April 16, signaling that the case may be winding down quietly behind closed doors.
Pro-crypto attorneys like James “MetaLawMan” Murphy and Bill Morgan have speculated that key SEC commissioners—namely Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda—are awaiting Atkins’ full assumption of duties to officially vote on withdrawing the appeal.
Such a move could finally end the four-year legal saga that began in 2020 when the SEC accused Ripple of offering XRP as an unregistered security.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently reinforced this sentiment, stating that the company had reached an agreement with SEC staff and was awaiting a final Commission vote.
He emphasized the constructive tone of recent negotiations and even revealed plans to reclaim most of the $125 million previously escrowed for settlement—of which only $100 million will now be paid, potentially even in XRP.
XRP Price Action and Technical Indicators
The legal optimism has translated into bullish price action. XRP has surged over 20% in just a week, from $1.75 to around $2.15, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum year-to-date with a staggering 54% increase in 2025 alone.
The rally appears driven by both regulatory clarity and strategic acquisitions—particularly Ripple’s $1.25 billion purchase of Hidden Road, a prime brokerage platform serving over 300 institutional clients.
This deal opens a pathway to integrate XRP into a financial network that clears over $10 billion daily.
From a technical standpoint, XRP recently crossed above the middle line of its Bollinger Bands on the daily chart, a key indicator of bullish momentum.
It also averted a “mini-death cross” between its 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages (EMAs)—a development that analysts view as confirmation of a bullish trend.
XRP is currently facing resistance near the $2.24–$2.25 zone, but a clean breakout could trigger upward moves toward $2.50 and even $2.70. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains balanced around 50, suggesting there’s still room for further growth before the token becomes overbought.
Strategic Whale Movements and Institutional Flows
Blockchain trackers like Whale Alert have highlighted significant on-chain movements involving XRP. Ripple recently shifted 200 million XRP—worth about $400 million—between internal wallets, likely for treasury or exchange liquidity purposes.
Meanwhile, the company deviated from its typical monthly escrow release pattern, returning 700 million XRP to escrow and unlocking 1 billion tokens on April 3, sparking speculation about internal strategy shifts.
Outside Ripple, the crypto exchange Kraken saw a jaw-dropping withdrawal of 7,002 Bitcoin (BTC) (valued at over $578 million). While it initially appeared to be a whale movement to an unknown wallet, further analysis suggests the transfer was an internal shuffle between Kraken’s cold wallets, illustrating the scale and complexity of crypto liquidity operations.
The Trump Factor: A New Crypto Dawn?
Adding to the bullish narrative is the political realignment under President Trump. His administration has made it clear: the U.S. aims to become the “crypto capital of the planet.”
In a symbolic moment, Ripple’s Brad Garlinghouse and legal chief Stuart Alderoty dined with Trump on January 6, sparking speculation that the administration sees XRP as a strategic asset.
Even more remarkably, there are rumors that Trump may include XRP in a national crypto reserve initiative—a move that could send institutional demand skyrocketing.
Further support comes in the form of David Sacks, a well-known crypto investor, who has been appointed as the first-ever White House “AI and Cryptocurrency Czar.”
With Paul Atkins heading the SEC and an administration actively courting crypto innovation, the stage appears set for XRP to thrive in a regulatory environment that no longer treats it with suspicion but rather as a vital part of financial modernization.
ETF Potential and Market Projections
One of the most anticipated catalysts for XRP is the approval of a U.S.-based XRP Spot ETF. Analysts believe such a development would drive massive institutional inflows, similar to what occurred with Bitcoin ETFs earlier.
With a final SEC vote looming and the political climate favoring innovation, an ETF approval could act as a springboard toward XRP’s all-time high of $3.55—and possibly beyond.
If macroeconomic conditions hold steady and regulatory clarity solidifies, some bullish forecasts even place XRP near the $5 mark in 2025. However, risks remain: delayed legal settlements, ETF rejections, or renewed geopolitical tensions could see prices pull back toward the $1.70–$1.95 support zone.
Conclusion: XRP’s Turning Point
After years of legal uncertainty and regulatory hurdles, XRP appears to be entering a new chapter—one characterized by institutional integration, legal clarity, and political backing.
Ripple’s acquisition of strategic assets, coupled with renewed government support under President Trump and incoming SEC Chair Paul Atkins, makes 2025 a year of opportunity.
As Garlinghouse said, “The storm is clearing.” If current momentum holds, XRP could very well evolve from a controversial altcoin to a cornerstone of the digital finance era.
