9GAG has reportedly taken control of Hong Kong-listed Howkingtech, which may be rebranded as MemeStrategy to explore AI, cryptocurrencies, and creator economy opportunities. Ray Chan, the co-founder of 9GAG, a popular meme-sharing and news site, is said to have taken charge of Howkingtech International as part of a plan to expand into AI, cryptocurrencies, and web3. A regulatory filing with the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited reveals that the purchase of Howkingtech involves a maximum cash consideration of HK$79,649,599 (about $10.2 million), assuming all share options are exercised before the close of the offers.
