Exhibit 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Takung Reports May Online Trading Transactions Up 317 Percent to $450 Million

Company to Host Investor Conference Call on Tuesday, June 14 to Discuss Growth Outlook

Hong Kong, June 6, 2016 -- Takung Art Co., Ltd. (OTCQB:TKAT), an online platform for acquiring shared ownership units in Asian fine art, jewelry and precious gems (collectively, “artwork”), today said it processed transactions totaling US$449.73 million in the 21-day trading month of May 2016, a 317 percent increase on total transactions of US$107.73 million recorded in the 19-day trading month of May 2015.

Total transaction value for the first five months of 2016 reached US$1.63 billion, a 329 percent increase on the total transactions of $380.16 million recorded in the comparable year-ago period.

The company added three new listings in May, bringing the total number of artworks trading on its platform to 110.

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 selected 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. Currently, almost all traders on the platform are located in mainland China.

Takung generates revenue from listing fees ranging from 22.5 to 48 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. Most of the listed artworks trade actively and have shown significant appreciation following their initial sale and introduction on the site. Each listing - with its initial offering price and current price and value - can be found on Takung’s corporate website at http://www.takungart.com/portfolio/listed-artwork.

“Last year our trading platform generated US$2.33 billion in total transactions,” said Takung CEO Di Xiao, “and we are now on pace to approach or exceed that number in the first half of 2016 alone. Clearly, our ongoing marketing efforts have been successful in attracting the participation of more and more enthusiastic art investors in Takung’s shared ownership model.”

The company also announced that Mr. Xiao and Takung CFO Leslie Chow will host a conference call on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at 9:00am Eastern Daylight time. The purpose of the call will be to discuss the company’s rapid growth and timetable for achieving future milestones, and for management to take questions from shareholders and investors relating to these topics.

Call-in instructions for accessing the conference will be announced shortly.
