Our Cayman Islands Corporate team recently acted as Cayman
Islands legal counsel to Open World Ltd. (Open World) on the
completion of its reverse merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of
VerifyMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRME) (VerifyMe). The transaction completed
on 30 September 2026.
Founded in 2023, Open World is a technology-powered digital
assets and blockchain innovation company that brings real-world
assets on-chain. Its capabilities include real-world asset
tokenisation, stablecoin infrastructure and capital markets
advisory, with active engagements across the United States, GCC,
Europe, Southeast Asia, and Africa. VerifyMe provided specialised
logistics for time- and temperature-sensitive products, as well as
brand protection and enhancement solutions.
Effective 1 October 2026, VerifyMe changed its name to
'OpenWorld, Inc.' (OpenWorld) and its common stock began
trading on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol 'OPNW' at market
open that day. OpenWorld also intends to pursue a dual listing on
Figure OPEN, a blockchain-based trading platform, which it expects
to go live by November 2026.
We acted alongside Latham & Watkins LLP, who provided US
legal counsel to Open World.
