Exhibit 99.1

Takung Reports $299 Million In Online Trading Transactions For January 2016, Up From $84 Million In January 2015

Company Adds Ten New Listings, Bringing Total Artworks On Platform to 59

HONG KONG, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / February 17, 2016 / Takung Art Co., Ltd. (OTCQB:TKAT), an online platform for acquiring shared ownership in Asian fine art, jewelry and precious gems (collectively, "artwork"), today said that the purchase and sale of ownership units of its listed artwork generated a total transaction value of US$299.25 million, or an average of $14.96 million daily in the 20-day trading month of January 2016. This compares with the total transaction value of US$84.24 million, or an average of $4.01 million daily, recorded in the 21-day trading month of January 2015.

The company also added ten new listings in January 2016, bringing the total number of listings of artwork trading on its platform to 59.

Since December 2013, Takung has provided a way for art collectors and investors to buy and sell ownership units in valuable paintings, calligraphies, jewelry and precious gems. Takung's unique approach is to divide artwork into equal ownership units based on its appraised value. Traders can then buy and sell these units online via a client app available for download from the company's commercial website.

Takung generates revenue from listing fees ranging from 22.5 to 47 percent of the artwork's offering price, as well as recurring revenue from trading commissions and nominal management fees. Takung may also receive annual fees from Offering Agents authorized to list artwork on the company's platform.

There are two types of listings on the Takung site - an individual artwork or a portfolio of several pieces. As of January 31, 2016, Takung had 59 such listings trading on its proprietary platform with a combined value of approximately US$179 million - up 773 percent from their aggregate initial listing value of US$21 million. Currently, almost all of the traders on the platform are located in mainland China. All transactions are done in Hong Kong dollars, and settlements are in either Hong Kong dollars or RMB.
