Executive Summary
Web3Labs Global Inc. filed Amendment No. 1 to its F-1 registration statement for a $25 million IPO of 6,250,000 Class A ordinary shares at an estimated price range of $4.00-$5.00 per share on Nasdaq (MDAT). The Hong Kong-based Web3 service provider reported revenue growth from HK$1.8 million (FY2024) to HK$17.3 million (FY2025) with net income of HK$6.9 million, though revenue declined 2.5% in the six months ended December 31, 2025 versus the prior year period. The filing highlights significant risks including dual-class voting control (79.7% by G-Rocket Holdings), HFCAA auditor access concerns, and PRC regulatory uncertainty in Hong Kong.
