UC and SOLOMON PARTNERS Forge Strategic Partnership to Build a New Global Fintech Ecosystem
March 15, 2025 | New York
Today, Unity Centre Investing LLC (UC), a global leader in financial technology, signed a strategic investment agreement with SOLOMON PARTNERS, a renowned international investment institution, and its existing strategic shareholder, EVERMORE GROUP, in New York. This collaboration strengthens UC’s global expansion and innovation efforts, marking a new milestone in the company’s development.
Strategic Restructuring and Optimized Equity Structure
Under the agreement, after the restructuring, UC will hold a 40% stake, while EVERMORE GROUP and SOLOMON PARTNERS will each hold 30%. Celine Weissman, UC’s Chief Financial Officer, stated:
“This structure provides three key advantages for UC: optimizing corporate governance with a professional decision-making mechanism, enhancing capital strength to support global expansion, and integrating resources to accelerate business growth.”
Establishing a Global Fintech Benchmark
At the signing ceremony, Shawn Thompson, Co-founder and CEO of UC, reflected on key milestone since the company’s founding in 2024. UC successfully launched its forex custody insurance system, achieving nearly 60% trading success rate, obtained regulatory licenses including ASIC (Australia), MSB (U.S. Treasury), and NFA (U.S.), and established three core trading hubs in New York, London, and Tokyo.
Thompson further outlined the company’s future roadmap:
“With the strength of this strategic partnership, UC aims to complete the deployment of eight core data centers worldwide by 2025 and secure key regulatory licenses in major global markets. By January 2026, we will officially launch a high-performance multi-asset exchange supporting over one million concurrent transactions, integrating forex, digital assets, futures, and indices into a unified financial services platform.”
Leveraging Synergies for Accelerated Growth
As an early strategic investor, EVERMORE GROUP reaffirmed its commitment to supporting UC’s growth: “With our institutional network spanning 15 countries and over $110 billion in assets under management, EVERMORE GROUP will focus on supporting UC’s presence in North America and Europe. We will leverage our partnerships with leading banks, market makers, and technology providers to help UC build a world-class trading ecosystem”
Representatives from SOLOMON PARTNERS also elaborated on their investment rationale, citing UC’s forex custody insurance system effectively mitigates trading risks, and boasts a team of experts from top financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. UC’s integrated exchange is poised to redefine financial services. “As a new strategic shareholder, we will empower UC’s development in three key areas: introducing strategic partnerships with top global financial institutions, providing incubation support for innovative business models, and strengthening UC’s corporate governance structure.”
Roadmap for Global Expansion
Lucas Lehmann, Chief Operating Officer of UC, presented the company’s 18-month execution plan: “For the forex custody business, UC plans to apply for regulatory licenses in Canada and the United Kingdom by April 2025, establish five new core data centers in Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, and Chicago by September 2025, and set up three regional operational centers in the Asia-Pacific region by the end of 2025.
Regarding the development of its integrated exchange, UC has already completed core technology development, achieving million-level concurrent processing capability. Moving forward, it will focus on strengthening its global market maker network, with partnerships established with 20 top-tier institutions, implementing a 24/7 risk management system with millisecond-level monitoring, and recruiting 150 industry professionals for an international operations team.”
Clear Financial Targets & Sustainable Growth
UC’s Chief Financial Officer, Celine Weissman, further disclosed the company’s financial goals: “By 2025, UC plans to invest $20 million in expanding its core data centers and allocate $15 million toward securing global regulatory licenses. By 2026, UC aims to achieve a daily trading volume of $1 billion and an annual transaction fee revenue of $700 million.”
Industry analysts view this strategic partnership as a turning point in UC’s development, signalling an accelerated phase of growth and strong investor confidence in innovative financial technology models. UC’s forex custody insurance system and forthcoming integrated exchange are expected to reshape the global financial services landscape and drive the next wave of fintech innovation.
