Ice Code Games Acquires AMIHAN to Launch Europe's First Public RWA Firm

Summarized from GlobalNewswire

ICG signs a binding deal to buy 100% of AMIHAN OÜ, pivoting into real-world asset tokenization with AMIHAN holders taking a 60% stake.

If you've been watching the tokenization space, this one is worth a double-take. Ice Code Games (ICG) has signed a binding Private Share Purchase Agreement (PSPA) to acquire 100% of AMIHAN OÜ, a move that would effectively reinvent ICG as what the companies are calling Europe's first publicly traded real-world asset (RWA) company. That's a pretty bold claim — and a pretty sharp pivot from gaming.

So what exactly is an RWA company? Think of it as a bridge between traditional physical or financial assets — real estate, commodities, private credit — and blockchain-based tokens that represent ownership in those assets. Instead of buying a share of a building through old-school paperwork, you could hold a digital token that does the same job. It's a fast-growing corner of crypto that's attracting serious institutional attention, and ICG is now betting its entire future on it.

The deal structure is notable because it flips the typical acquisition dynamic on its head. Rather than ICG shareholders calling the shots after the buyout, AMIHAN's existing holders will end up controlling 60% of the combined company once the transaction closes. That means the people behind AMIHAN are essentially using ICG's public listing as a vehicle to bring their tokenization platform to European capital markets — a strategy sometimes called a reverse merger in spirit, even if the legal mechanics differ.

For everyday investors, the big question is what this means in practice. A publicly listed RWA platform in Europe would give retail and institutional participants a regulated, exchange-accessible way to gain exposure to tokenized assets — something that's been largely out of reach without navigating opaque private markets or offshore crypto exchanges. Whether ICG can execute on that vision is another matter entirely, but the structural groundwork is now legally in place.
