VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 16, 2025 /CNW/ – Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) (“Intellistake” or the “Company”) a technology company focused on decentralized artificial intelligence (“AI“) and digital currencies, is pleased to announce the appointment of Eric Fang to its Advisory Board. A seasoned investor and strategist with over a decade of experience spanning traditional finance and digital assets, Mr. Fang brings expertise to support the Company’s institutional growth strategy and technology development.

Mr. Fang began his career at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (“Goldman Sachs“) as an investment banker before joining Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P.’s (“KKR“) public investment arm to cover energy and cyclical sectors. Mr. Fang then moved to Steadfast Financial LP (“Steadfast“), a multi-billion-dollar hedge fund where he played a key role in the firm’s cyclical and industrial investing strategies.

Following his successful tenure in traditional finance, Mr. Fang transitioned into digital assets, where he has been actively involved through proprietary trading, seed-stage investing, and serving as a board advisor to early-stage blockchain projects. This dual-track expertise enables him to bridge institutional capital with frontier technologies, bringing a unique perspective to the rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem. His comprehensive understanding of both traditional investment frameworks and emerging blockchain technologies positions him uniquely to help Intellistake communicate its value proposition to institutional investors seeking regulated exposure to AI-driven digital assets.

“We are pleased to welcome Eric to Intellistake’s Advisory Board, where his exceptional combination of Wall Street experience and digital asset expertise brings a valuable perspective to enhance our strategic vision,” said Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake Technologies Corp. “Eric’s proven track record at premier financial institutions like Goldman Sachs, KKR, and Steadfast, combined with his successful transition into digital asset trading and seed-stage investing, brings relevant strategic insight as we scale our operations and develop technology solutions that meet institutional standards. His ability to navigate both traditional financial markets and emerging blockchain technologies is valuable as we work to provide traditional investors with sophisticated access to the intersection of AI and blockchain infrastructure through familiar investment mechanisms.”

“I’m excited to join Intellistake at this pivotal point,” said Eric Fang. “The opportunity to help shape institutional pathways into decentralized AI is what drew me to the team. Intellistake’s strategy blends disciplined capital allocation with a clear technological vision, and I look forward to supporting the Company’s mission to deliver accessible, regulated exposure to the future of AI-powered digital infrastructure.”

The appointment of Mr. Fang reflects Intellistake’s commitment to assembling advisory expertise that spans both traditional finance and digital asset innovation. His strategic counsel will support the Company in developing institutional-grade operations and communicating the growth potential of decentralized AI infrastructure to investors familiar with traditional investment frameworks but new to blockchain technology.
