DV8 securities have been subject to level 1 of market surveillance measures since May 21, 2025 following the unusual change in trading momentum without substantiated fundamentals or information. During the enforcement period of these initial measures, DV8 securities experienced a significant reduction in daily trading volume by 5 million shares on average, while prices continued to increase.

Today (July 15, 2025), DV8 exhibited sharp surges in both trading volume and prices, closing at a new high of THB 8.60 (+21.13%) with 18 million shares traded despite the company’s negative price-to-earnings ratio and price-to-book value ratio of 15.4 times. DV8's market capitalization increased from THB 700 million to THB 11.36 billion over a three-month period. Additionally, on July 3, 2025 and July 11, 2025, the company disclosed information regarding a conditional tender offer priced at THB 0.56 per share which was substantially below the market prices, with a potential cancellation if fewer than 990 million shares are tendered and a statement that the tender offeror planned to expand digital asset business pending completion of a feasibility study by the fourth quarter of 2025. Therefore, SET has decided to escalate the market surveillance measures imposed on DV8 to level 2 from July 16, 2025 to August 5, 2025. Investors are strongly encouraged to conduct comprehensive fundamental analysis and rely exclusively on reliable information prior to undertaking any investment decisions.
