On the heels of MetaMask flagging DAO1 back in July, Xova has been launched.
Xova operates from the website domain “xovawallet.com”, privately registered on August 22nd, 2025.
No ownership details are provided on Xova’s website. If we visit Xova’s Google Play Store app page however, we learn the app was developed by Swed Schield AG:
Swed Schield AG is a Swiss company that was registered in 2023. Leon Filipovic, cited as a resident of Zagreb, Croatia, was appointed Swed Schield’s sole Director in January 2025.
Filipovic (right) is a
long-time business partner of Josip Heit’s
. Filipovic’s name has popped up in connection with a string of shell companies, as well as companies directly tied to GSPartners.
GSPartners is the predecessor of DAO1. The same fraudulent investment scheme GSPartners offered through its G999 token,
DAO1 now offers through Apertum Foundation’s APTM token
.
GSPartners, G999, DAO1 and Apertum Foundation are all owned and operated by Josip Heit. With Filipovic the sole Director of the shell company attached to Xova, it follows Heit is also behind Xova.
This tracks with DAO1 integration within Xova’s offered non-custodial crypto wallets.
So why does DAO1 need an internal wallet platform? And why isn’t the connection between Xova, DAO1 and Apertum Foundation openly disclosed?
MetaMask flagged DAO1 as potentially deceptive:
At the time
New Zealand
,
Australia
and
Texas
(
set aside in August
), had all issued DAO1 and/or Apertum Foundation fraud warnings.
It’s unknown if other wallet platforms had flagged DAO1, but it was apparently evident the scheme risked other wallet platforms also blocking it.
And so Xova launched about a month ago. The first Xova marketing video went up on an Apertum Foundation associated YouTube channel on October 2nd, 2025.
As to why Xova doesn’t disclose common ownership between itself, DAO1 and Apertum Foundation on its website, this is likely due to DAO1 continuing to attract the attention of financial regulators:
Germany issued a
DAO1 and Apertum Foundation fraud warning
on October 2nd
Lithuania issued a
DAO1 and Apertum Foundation fraud warning
on October 30th
Croatia has
confirmed an ongoing money laundering investigation into Josip Heit
Xova is currently offered as an app through the Google Play Store, Chrome Web Store and Apple App Store.
Given the apparent obfuscation, it’s unclear whether the platforms are aware of Xova’s ties to DAO1, Apertum Foundation and Heit.
Google and Apple are of course US companies, and the DAO1 investment scheme, at least officially, isn’t available to North American residents.
This is a decision by owner Josip Heit, amid ongoing
GSPartners fraud settlement negotiations with North American regulators
still playing out.
Earlier today Apertum Foundation
published an AI robodubbed video
to its “SportsFuture” channel, promising GSPartners G999 bagholders, the majority of whom are US and Canadian residents, a way to convert G999 to USDT.
