Strategic Profile

The merger was approved by shareholders on April 1, 2026, paving the way for the combined company to be listed on Nasdaq as RTB Digital Inc. under the ticker symbol RTB.

Cyborg Score Rationale

RYVYL has filed a request for an appeal hearing as of April 29, 2026, indicating regulatory or legal complexities surrounding the merger. While the shareholder vote was decisive, the transaction remains in limbo pending final approvals and the merged entity's pivot to Web3/media represents significant execution risk.
