## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

DarkPulse, Inc. Secures Uplisting to OTCQB: A Milestone Enhancing Infrastructure Innovation and Access to Global Capital Markets

NEW YORK – December 2, 2025 – DarkPulse, Inc. (OTCQB: DPLS) ("DarkPulse" or the "Company"), a leader in advanced distributed fiber optic sensing technology for critical infrastructure protection, today announced that its application for uplisting from the OTCID market to the OTCQB Venture Market has been officially approved by OTC Markets Group.

This strategic move positions DarkPulse on a premier tier for early-stage and developing companies, marking a significant step forward in the Company's growth trajectory.

DarkPulse's proprietary BOTDA (Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis) dark-pulse based sensor technology delivers real-time, continuous monitoring and data analytics for essential infrastructure, including oil & gas pipelines,national borders, rail systems, telecommunications networks, and aerospace applications. As global demand for smart city solutions and resilient infrastructure intensifies, this uplisting underscores DarkPulse's commitment to transparency, compliance, and innovation at the forefront of critical asset security.

"Today's approval is a testament to the hard work of our team and the unwavering support of our shareholders," said Dennis O'Leary, Chairman and CEO of DarkPulse. "Uplisting to OTCQB not only elevates our visibility but also aligns us with the rigorous standards that attract sophisticated investors worldwide. We are particularly excited about the opportunities this creates for exploring listings on international exchanges, such as those in Europe and the Middle East, to fuel our expansion into high-growth markets like the APAC and MENA regions where infrastructure upgrades are accelerating."

**Key Benefits of Trading on the OTCQB Venture Market**

The OTCQB market, often referred to as the "QB level," is designed for entrepreneurial and venture-stage companies seeking to build market presence while adhering to elevated qualitative and disclosure standards. For DarkPulse, this transition offers several transformative advantages:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Enhanced Visibility and Liquidity: OTCQB provides
a centralized platform with real-time quotes, improved market maker participation, and broader access to institutional and retail investors,
potentially increasing trading volume and share liquidity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Superior Financing Opportunities: As a more established
tier, OTCQB unlocks access to diverse funding sources, including equity offerings, debt instruments, and strategic partnerships. This
includes better types of funding such as venture capital infusions and bank lines of credit, often at more favorable terms—potentially
reducing interest rates and overall borrowing costs compared to Pink sheet trading, based on industry benchmarks for compliant uplisted
firms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Gateway to Global Exchanges: With OTCQB's
international recognition, DarkPulse is well-positioned to pursue cross-listings on exchanges outside the United States, such as the London
Stock Exchange's AIM market or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. These opportunities could accelerate market penetration in emerging
regions, enabling faster scaling of DarkPulse's technology deployments for smart cities and resource security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Investor Confidence and Compliance: The market's
requirements for annual verification, current reporting, and audited financials foster greater trust, attracting analysts and funds that
prioritize governance—paving the way for mergers, acquisitions, and R&D investments.

DarkPulse commenced trading on OTCQB under the symbol "DPLS" on November 28, 2025. The Company remains focused on executing its pipeline of projects, including recent expansions in aerospace and partnerships for global infrastructure monitoring.
