Exhibit 10.2

LGHL Announces Strategic Investment in IndonesianStablecoin and Digital Financial Infrastructure Provider via Stock-for-Participation Arrangement


SINGAPORE, June 22, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- Lion Group Holding Ltd. (NASDAQ: LGHL) (“Lion Group” or the “Company”), a leading operator of an all-in-one trading platform and digital asset treasury holder, today announced its participation in an investment in PT Nusantara Bumi Sangkara (the “Target Company”), an Indonesia-based technology company focused on digital financial solutions, including the issuance of the Indonesian Rupiah-pegged stablecoin NIDR.

Under the Investment Participation and Economic Interest Arrangement Agreement with Meili Capital Management Limited (“Meili”), Lion Group will provide investment consideration of up to USD 12,000,000 through a non-cash transaction involving the issuance of its ordinary shares (represented by American Depositary Shares or ADSs) or other equity-linked securities. Upon completion, Lion Group will obtain a 10% indirect economic interest or equivalent participation in the Target Company through Meili or its designated investment vehicle. This structure aligns with the framework previously established under the Parties’ strategic cooperation MOU.

The Target Company is developing NIDR, a compliant stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the Indonesian Rupiah, supported by safe and liquid reserve assets. It aims to provide low-cost, cross-border fund transfer and value exchange services, while building broader digital financial infrastructure integrating blockchain, smart contracts, AI-driven risk control, and automated decision-making. Recent regulatory progress includes approvals or confirmations from Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK), positioning it as a potential early compliant stablecoin issuer in the market.


Strategic Alignment with Aquila AI Infrastructureand DAT (Digital Asset Treasury) Initiatives


This investment represents a key step in Lion Group’s dual-track growth strategy:

Digital Asset Treasury (DAT): By participating in a compliant, real-world-asset (RWA) backed<br> stablecoin and digital payments platform, Lion Group further diversifies and strengthens<br> its digital asset treasury. This complements the Company’s existing holdings and treasury<br> reallocations into high-potential ecosystems (including Hyperliquid and Bitcoin), enhancing<br> exposure to tokenized value exchange, payments, and on-chain infrastructure in high-growth<br> Southeast Asian markets.
Aquila AI Infrastructure: The Target Company’s integration of AI-driven risk control,<br> intelligent analytics, fraud detection, and automated liquidity management<br> directly synergizes with Lion Group’s proposed acquisition of Aquila Hash, Inc., a<br> U.S.-headquartered global AI infrastructure platform specializing in AI Factories, GPU cloud<br> platforms, and AI-native services. Together, these initiatives position Lion Group at the<br> forefront of AI-Web3 convergence, enabling advanced applications in digital finance, DePIN,<br> real-world asset tokenization, and scalable financial infrastructure.
--- ---

Mr. Wilson Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Lion Group Holding Ltd., commented: “This strategic participation through Meili marks a significant milestone in our expansion into Southeast Asia’s digital economy. By leveraging stock consideration in a non-cash transaction, we preserve capital while gaining exposure to a promising stablecoin and digital payments platform that aligns seamlessly with our DAT treasury strategy and Aquila AI infrastructure ambitions. We are excited about the potential synergies in AI-powered financial services and blockchain innovation.”

The transaction remains subject to customary conditions, including necessary approvals, definitive documentation, and compliance with Nasdaq, SEC, and other regulatory requirements. It does not constitute a direct equity investment by Lion Group in the Target Company but provides indirect economic participation.
