SunCar Announces Its Plans to Invest up to $10 Million in Several Leading Real-World Asset (“RWA”) Cryptocurrencies

SunCar Technology Group, (the “Company” or “SunCar”), (NASDAQ: SDA), a leader in digitalizing auto insurance and auto services, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company to invest up to $10 million in select major cryptocurrencies that are expected to benefit from the rapid growth of RWA tokenization. According to a report released in April 2025 by Ripple and Boston Consulting Group, the RWA market could reach $19 trillion by 2033, up from roughly $25 billion in mid-2025.

From a strategic perspective, the company believes that blockchain integration and RWA tokenization represent the natural evolution of its AI-powered cloud technology for digital auto insurance and auto services. SunCar is researching its own strategy to integrate blockchain and RWA tokenization into its existing cloud-based digital insurance business model. Doing so will allow SunCar’s customers and partners to enjoy more transparent and efficient transactions as part of an RWA tokenized blockchain where all parties to a transaction have full transparency and trust. The Company’s cryptocurrency investments will be made in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and will focus on established digital assets with significant market capitalization and liquidity.

“Our investment in the leading RWA-focused cryptocurrencies is part of our new capital allocation strategy, which seeks to leverage our strategic plan to develop a blockchain and tokenized RWA platform and to maximize long-term value for our shareholders,” said SunCar CEO Zaichang Ye. “Beyond blockchain and RWA’s strategic benefits to our customers, this investment reflects our belief that RWA tokenization, one of the most exciting new emerging technologies, is an attractive investment opportunity with more long-term appreciation potential than holding cash.” The Company expects to provide updates on its cryptocurrency holdings through its regular press releases and SEC filings and will comply with all applicable disclosure requirements regarding these investments.
