SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES), a specialist in semiconductors and post-quantum cybersecurity, has finalized a strategic investment in Wecan Group SA, a Swiss SaaS company specializing in blockchain and regulatory compliance (RegTech). SEALSQ has acquired 28.3% of the capital of Wecan, whose shareholders were advised by TwinL M&A.

The first strategic results include:

• The integration of SEALSQ's post-quantum encryption into Wecan's KYC/KYB solutions, already used by private banks.
• The co-development of quantum-resistant compliance and identification tools for financial institutions and DeFi platforms.
• The integration of SEALSQ algorithms into semiconductors to secure billions of IoT devices.
• The expansion of decentralized identity (DID) solutions in Web 3.0.
• The deployment of advanced object recognition (KYO) technologies tailored to finance and defense.

Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ, and Vincent Pignon, founder of Wecan, welcome a strategic alliance that positions both companies as leaders in post-quantum cybersecurity. Vincent Pignon adds about the collaboration with TwinL M&A: " I would like to thank Frank and his team for their support in a strategic process for our company. With a significant stake taken by a Nasdaq-listed company, the outlook for Wecan is more than promising.“
