ORLANDO, Fla. — July 17, 2026 (KOREWIRE)— Tokenova Worldwide, Inc. (“Tokenova Worldwide” or the “Company”), a capital infrastructure enterprise focused on supporting critical technology companies through regulated capital markets, digital ownership infrastructure, and institutional governance, today announced that it has engaged Encore Bank, a *federally insured financial institution, to serve as escrow bank in connection with the Company’s planned Tier 2 Regulation A offering, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
As escrow bank, Encore Bank is expected to hold investor subscription funds in a segregated escrow account and administer the escrow account pursuant to the escrow agreement.
Why This Matters
- Adds a *federally insured escrow bank to Tokenova Worldwide’s institutional capital markets infrastructure.
- Provides segregated custody of investor subscription funds for the Company’s planned Tier 2 Regulation A offering.
- Reinforces the Company’s governance-first approach to compliant capital formation.
Educational Brief — The Role of an Escrow Bank
In a regulated securities offering, an escrow bank holds investor subscription funds in a segregated account separate from the issuer’s operating accounts until specified conditions of the offering are satisfied. This structure helps protect investor funds during the subscription process and supports orderly settlement of the offering in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
For Tier 2 Regulation A offerings, engaging an established, *federally insured escrow bank provides investors with an additional layer of protection and reinforces the operational discipline of the offering.
Supporting Institutional Capital Infrastructure
The engagement of Encore Bank complements Tokenova Worldwide’s broader strategy of assembling experienced third-party service providers across the capital formation lifecycle. Together with securities counsel, broker-dealer of record, independent audit, Blue Sky compliance, transfer agency, and digital securities infrastructure, the Company is establishing an integrated governance and operational framework designed to support regulated capital formation.
Management Commentary
A.J. Ripin, President of Tokenova Worldwide, stated:
“The safekeeping of investor subscription funds is a foundational element of any regulated securities offering. Engaging Encore Bank as escrow bank reflects Tokenova Worldwide’s commitment to institutional standards of custody, oversight, and investor protection. We are pleased to add a *federally insured banking partner of Encore’s caliber to the capital infrastructure supporting our long-term strategy.”
