The latest update is out from VerifyMe ( (VRME) ).

On January 2, 2026, VerifyMe entered into a letter of intent to merge its wholly owned subsidiary with Open World Ltd., in a transaction that would leave Open World as a wholly owned subsidiary of VerifyMe but with Open World shareholders controlling roughly 90% of the combined public company; the companies announced the LOI in a press release on January 5, 2026. The proposed merger, which is subject to a definitive agreement, board and shareholder approvals, regulatory clearance and other customary closing conditions, is framed as a strategic combination of VerifyMe’s precision logistics and brand protection capabilities with Open World’s blockchain-based tokenization and compliance infrastructure to build an institutional-grade platform for real-world asset tokenization and on-chain identity and provenance, while providing VerifyMe’s existing shareholders with potential upside from a special pre-closing cash dividend and exposing both investor bases to execution risk given the exclusivity terms, break-up fees and the possibility the deal may not close by the June 30, 2026 outside date.

The most recent analyst rating on (VRME) stock is a Hold with a $0.69 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on VerifyMe stock, see the VRME Stock Forecast page.
