LONDON & DOVER, Del. — UK Financial Ltd today announced that its MayaCat Regulated Security Token (SMCAT) has officially made history as the world's first exchange-traded token structured under the ERC-3643 regulated security token standard.

Following this milestone, UK Financial Ltd confirmed that it is actively coordinating with the CATEX Exchange to determine the most efficient and fully compliant method for completing the transition of legacy MayaCat (MCAT) tokens into the regulated SMCAT structure for eligible holders.

Transition Process and Compliance Considerations

UK Financial Ltd is currently evaluating a transition path that prioritizes regulatory integrity, transparency, and long-term market credibility. As part of this process, the company plans to pursue independent verification of circulating supply and token metrics by CoinMarketCap for both:

MayaCat Regulated Security Token (SMCAT)
Maya Preferred PRA Regulated Security Token (SMPRA)

While this verification step is expected to benefit token holders by ensuring publicly verifiable accuracy, it may temporarily slow the return of tokens to CATEX Exchange.

If this route is finalized, eligible tokens will be:

• Returned to the MayaPro Wallet
• Held securely during the verification process
• Made transferable back to CATEX Exchange once verification is complete

This process is required because every wallet that interacts with SMCAT must be KYC-verified under ERC-3643 compliance rules.

MayaPro Wallet will be KYC-verified by the issuer
CATEX Exchange wallets are already KYC-verified
Holders will retain full possession of their ERC-3643 MayaCat Regulated Security Tokens throughout this process.

Supply Reduction and Ownership Impact

As part of the regulated upgrade, UK Financial Ltd confirmed that the outstanding supply of SMCAT has been reduced to 50 million tokens, down from the original 2 billion MCAT tokens in the legacy structure.
This represents:

• An 88.5% reduction in total supply
• A 4000% proportional ownership increase for eligible legacy MCAT holders who completed conversion

Failing to pursue verified public metrics at this stage could negatively impact how the first-ever exchange-traded ERC-3643 security token is viewed by data providers and institutional observers.

President & CEO James Dahlke Stated:
"We have made history today. This journey began eight years ago with the introduction of Maya Preferred, one of the earliest gold-backed digital assets. Today, our focus is on structured compliance, transparency, and regulated digital finance under the ERC-3643 framework. Our work is not finished, and we will continue until it is completed correctly.""

Vice President Richard Crespo Stated:
"Not a single insider has sold a token or taken a salary,
Since 2019, we have operated with one priority — doing what we believe is right for token holders. Even when decisions are difficult, our commitment to compliance and long-term credibility has never changed."

This outcome was not discretionary and was mandated by compliance requirements.
