Exhibit 99.1

FDCTech, Inc. Accelerates European Expansion with Strategic Acquisitions and New Regulatory Milestones

The Company Reports Robust Growth, Increased Liquidity, and Strong Market Penetration Across Key European Markets

Irvine, CA: January 08, 2025, FDCTech, Inc. (“FDC” or the “Company,” OTCQB: FDCT), a fintech-driven company specializing in acquiring and integrating small—to mid-size legacy financial services firms, announced its operational results for the period ending September 30, 2024. The company showcased the expansion of its brokerage businesses in the European markets through its wholly owned subsidiary, Alchemy Markets Ltd. (AML) in Malta.

Key Highlights as of September 30, 2024:

	●	AML acquired approximately 2,631 clients from Next Markets, transferring €5.6 million in client equity. The newly acquired clients are primarily German retail investors trading Contracts for Difference (CFDs) and equities through the Gettex exchange. This acquisition marks Company’s official entry into the German retail market.

	●	AML acquired 35 clients from a Cypriot-based brokerage, transferring approximately €800,000 in client equity. Most of these clients are French-speaking, establishing the Company’s foothold in the French market.

	●	AML has also secured authorization in terms of article 6 of the Investment Services Act, Chapter 370 of the Laws of Malta to offer equities and money market securities, enabling the Company to provide stocks and interest-yielding products. This authorization positions the Company to grow its asset base on deposits and expand its product portfolio.

The Company is excited about these acquisitions and the new licensing, which align with its strategy to scale operations and diversify revenue streams across key European markets. The entry into the German and French retail trading sectors expands the Company’s client base and strengthens our ability to deliver innovative trading solutions across the region. These strategic moves underscore the Company’s commitment to broadening its global reach and enhancing shareholder value through organic growth and targeted acquisitions.
