CERNOBBIO, ITALY, October 16, 2026
DAC, a quantum-resistant Layer-1 blockchain project, has highlighted the growing need for post-quantum security as Italy prepares to inaugurate its first Quantum Supercomputer and industrial quantum annealer, Volta B1, today, October 16, at the Digital Innovation Forum 2026.
Today’s inaugurations mark a significant milestone for Italy's quantum computing ambitions, with Volta B1 set to become one of Europe's most advanced quantum infrastructures. Developed under the technical and scientific supervision of Q-Alliance, this project also brings renewed attention to the long-term security of digital systems as quantum technologies continue to advance.
Davide Costa, Head of Innovation at DAC, participated in the Forum's panel, "Frontier Technologies: Quantum Computing, HPC for Quantum Computing, Supercomputers and Blockchain," alongside representatives from academia, research, and technology institutions.
The discussion explored advances in computing technologies and the infrastructure needed to support future innovation. For blockchain networks, which rely on cryptographic mechanisms to secure transactions and digital assets, preparing for future quantum computing capabilities is becoming an increasingly important priority.
“The inauguration of Italy’s first Quantum Supercomputer and industrial quantum annealer marks a major milestone in quantum technology. While these advances unlock new possibilities, they also reinforce the need to prepare for future threats to the cryptographic systems securing blockchain networks. At DAC, we’re addressing this challenge by embedding quantum resistance into blockchain infrastructure from the outset,” said Davide Costa, Head of Innovation at DAC.
DAC is developing an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain with quantum resistance as a core architectural priority. DAC Blockchain technology incorporates Proof of Quantum Work (PoQW) and quantum entropy, with a focus on long-term cryptographic resilience and predictable transaction costs for businesses.
The DAC team also attended the Digital Innovation Forum 2026, engaging with industry leaders and technology experts as Europe advances its quantum computing capabilities and strengthens its focus on future-ready digital infrastructure.

New York, NY, October 12, 2026
In the crypto industry, it is becoming increasingly difficult to impress audiences with major announcements. The market is gradually learning to distinguish marketing activity from genuine operational progress. This is precisely why UNION continues to remain on my analytical radar. We have revisited this ecosystem on numerous occasions, and recent developments provide sufficient grounds for another review. Today, however, the real interest lies not so much in individual releases as in the overall consistency of the company's strategic decisions.
Let's begin with two initiatives that have particularly stood out recently: U:MEDIA and U:HUBS. The former is gradually establishing UNION's proprietary media environment, bringing together independent creators, educational content, podcasts, and additional communication tools. The recent integration of the first materials directly into the user dashboard demonstrates a transition from conceptual development to practical implementation.
The second initiative, which has evolved further under the UNION SPACES concept, appears even more ambitious. Establishing a network of physical locations involves expanding partnership infrastructure, localizing operational processes, and strengthening international connections. For a digital ecosystem, such an initiative represents an entirely different level of organizational complexity.
But perhaps the most interesting developments are unfolding beyond the public product roadmap.
Informal industry discussions have begun to raise the possibility that UNION is preparing for another phase of legal structuring. This could involve the scheduled fulfillment of regulatory obligations, audit procedures, renewal of relevant authorization documents, and measures designed to ensure continued operational stability. No specific timeline has been officially confirmed, but such a scenario would be consistent with the company's international ambitions.
It is worth recalling that UNION's corporate architecture includes entities in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia. Three continents, three legal systems, and fundamentally different regulatory regimes. Maintaining such a structure requires considerable legal discipline, particularly when interacting with financial counterparties and payment infrastructure providers.
In today's fintech landscape, regulatory transparency is no longer an optional competitive advantage. AML/KYC procedures, corporate compliance, accurate financial reporting, beneficial ownership disclosure, internal control audits, and proper documentation are becoming essential components of institutional engagement. Importantly, registering a legal entity does not automatically grant authorization to conduct every type of financial activity.
This is precisely why UNION's potential preparations for another regulatory cycle deserve attention. If these reports are confirmed, they would represent a logical continuation of the company's strategy to establish a sustainable, long-term presence across international markets.
Meanwhile, UNION continues to maintain a noticeable pace of technological development. The evolution of U:Swap, improvements to user-facing infrastructure, the introduction of media products, and the expansion of partnership mechanisms suggest a consistently executed roadmap. Some releases appear with virtually no advance publicity, although objectively assessing whether development is ahead of schedule requires comparison with previously published milestones.
From my perspective, the principal strength of UNION's chosen strategy lies in its attempt to synchronize technological advancement, international expansion, and legal sustainability. This is a challenging undertaking even for considerably more established fintech organizations.
2026 is shaping up to be a defining year. If the current momentum continues and the anticipated regulatory procedures produce verified results, UNION could gain additional grounds to strengthen its international positioning.
For now, the company continues to demonstrate substantial operational activity. And it is precisely the combination of regular product improvements, infrastructure initiatives, and attention to its legal architecture that makes UNION one of the more compelling ecosystems to monitor from a professional analytical perspective.

The company's planned iFX EXPO Asia appearance puts its trading evaluation services and affiliate business in front of regional industry participants.
Vancouver, British Columbia, October 5, 2026
WeMasterTrade is heading to iFX EXPO Asia 2026 with a proposition that requires a closer look: traders use virtual money, but qualifying performance can earn them real rewards.The trading simulation and evaluation platform plans to attend the Hong Kong event as it seeks greater visibility among traders and affiliate partners across Asia. Scheduled for October 7–9 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the expo brings together businesses from online trading, fintech, payments, and financial services.
For WeMasterTrade, the planned appearance offers a setting to explain both sides of its business: programs for people who want to demonstrate trading skills and a referral network for partners who introduce customers. Its stated campaign focus is Hong Kong and the wider Asian region.
The distinction between simulated accounts and money traded in financial markets is central to understanding that offering. So is the difference between gaining access to a program and qualifying for a payment.
Virtual accounts and conditional rewards
WeMasterTrade describes itself as a platform where participants can demonstrate their abilities in a simulated environment. Its public materials state that a risk management team monitors activity and that traders who meet performance criteria may qualify for rewards.
The company also says its algorithms replicate trading activity from virtual accounts into its own live trading accounts. That is the company's description of its operating model; the participant's account remains simulated.
The arrangement means that an advertised account balance should be understood as virtual trading capacity. It is not a cash balance handed to a customer to withdraw or spend. Any payment depends on the relevant program's requirements.
That distinction gives the Hong Kong appearance a practical subject beyond the attendance announcement itself. Potential participants can examine what they are buying, how their activity is assessed, and what conditions govern a reward. Those details determine how the service works in practice.
What instant access means
WeMasterTrade markets an instant prop firm offering, alongside a challenge program. The instant route removes the preliminary challenge stages, while the challenge route uses a sequence of assessments before progression.
Instant access does not remove the account's operating conditions. The company's published process asks customers to select a package, pay the applicable fee, and sign an electronic agreement. Packages specify parameters such as virtual balance, leverage, and loss limits.
For a prospective user, this changes the comparison. Choosing between programs involves weighing the entry process against the rules that apply afterward. Skipping an initial assessment does not, by itself, establish whether a particular package suits someone's trading approach.
The company also provides educational resources through its academy. Education and simulated practice can help explain a trading process, but they do not establish that a participant will earn a reward. WeMasterTrade's own disclosures acknowledge limitations in hypothetical results and state that rewards are not promised.
Affiliates are part of the regional pitch
The second audience is commercial. WeMasterTrade's Affiliate Partner Program allows partners to introduce customers through referral links and earn commissions on qualifying activity, subject to program terms.
This gives its expo attendance a business development purpose alongside product awareness. A trader considering an account and a partner considering referrals have different questions. The former needs to understand the trading arrangement; the latter also needs to understand how referrals are credited and compensated.
For partners communicating with an audience, those questions overlap. Explaining a virtual account accurately matters before a customer signs up. So does distinguishing a possible performance reward from a guaranteed outcome, and an account's stated size from the cash a customer owns.
An industry gathering makes those conversations possible in person. It also places a company's explanation beside those of other trading businesses, giving attendees a chance to compare the scope of different propositions.
A regional introduction
WeMasterTrade's objective for the event is to introduce its services and build brand awareness in Hong Kong and Asia. Its intended audience spans individual traders, potential referral partners, and people interested in the trading industry.
Those groups will arrive with different measures of relevance. A prospective participant might want to understand the assessment process before paying a fee. A prospective affiliate might want to know whether the service fits an existing readership or community. The same product explanation has to answer both, without blurring the distinction between using the platform and earning money by referring someone else to it.
Its immediate commercial purpose is straightforward: an opportunity to put the platform in front of a regional industry audience and explain its mechanics. For prospective users and partners, the useful conversation starts with what happens after registration, what the rules require, and how qualifying activity translates into compensation.

Dubai, UAE, October 3, 2026
Stellar Connect Events LLC is set to host the 2nd Edition of QOMEX
Summit 2026 on 9 September 2026 at Al Habtoor Grand Resort, Autograph Collection, Marina,
Dubai, bringing together senior executives and technology leaders from across the UAE and GCC to
examine what comes next for digital commerce.
QOMEX, the Quick On-demand Market Experience Summit, is designed around the rapidly changing
intersection of digital commerce, quick commerce, artificial intelligence, customer experience, data
intelligence and commerce technology.
As customer expectations move toward faster, more personalized and increasingly predictive
experiences, businesses are being challenged to rethink not only how they sell, but how they
anticipate demand, orchestrate customer journeys and operate at scale.
QOMEX 2026 will bring these conversations together under one platform.
Commerce Is No Longer Just About the Transaction
The next generation of commerce is being shaped before a customer even clicks “buy.”
AI agents are influencing decisions. Predictive engines are anticipating customer needs. Automation
is transforming operations. Real time data is changing how businesses make decisions, while
personalization is becoming an expectation rather than a differentiator.
QOMEX will examine the technologies and strategies behind this transformation, with a particular
focus on:
AI and Agentic CommerceAutonomous Customer JourneysQuick Commerce and On Demand ExperiencesDigital Commerce and E CommerceData Infrastructure and Real Time IntelligenceExperience Orchestration and PersonalizationOmnichannel CommerceAI and Machine LearningAutomation and Intelligent WorkflowsComposable and API First Commerce•Digital Payments and Customer EngagementFulfilment, Last Mile and Operational Intelligence
The summit will move beyond broad discussions around digital transformation to explore the
practical infrastructure, technologies and strategies required to build faster, smarter and more
connected commerce ecosystems.
Senior Leaders Bringing the Conversation to Life
QOMEX 2026 will feature senior executives from leading organisations across retail, ecommerce,
technology, customer experience, marketing, loyalty, payments and digital transformation.
Featured speakers include:
Darine El Sabbagh, General Manager, E Commerce & Omnichannel, Chalhoub GroupAaryan Kapur, Group Head of Digital Marketing, Aster DM HealthcareArwa Cherif, VP Middle East, IbexaKarim Cheaib, Head of Strategic Growth Middle East, IbexaSagarika Nayak, Group Director, Customer Experience and Service Excellence, GMGSuryaveer Singh, Head of Loyalty CRM & Data, ENOCYogesh Sharma, eCommerce Manager, UAE, BeiersdorfMaaz Zahid, Vice President, Digital, Innovation, Customer Experience & AI, ADNOC DistributionShahir Aziz, Head of Payments Platform and New Bets, CareemAntonio Ricciardi, SVP, Consumer Intelligence & Engagement, e& Smiles
Together, these leaders represent the different forces driving the evolution of commerce across the
region, from AI and customer intelligence to ecommerce, omnichannel strategy, loyalty, digital
marketing, payments and enterprise transformation.
The Questions Businesses Need to Answer Now
QOMEX is built around the challenges facing commerce leaders today.
How much of the customer journey can actually be automated?
Can AI predict what a customer wants before they know it themselves?
What happens when personalization becomes real time?
Where does human judgment still matter when algorithms increasingly influence customer
decisions?
How can retailers and ecommerce businesses build infrastructure capable of supporting always on
commerce?And perhaps most importantly:
Are businesses adapting quickly enough to the customer expectations they are creating?
These questions will drive the conversations across the summit.
One of the key discussions, “Do We Need Humans? Your Next Customer Is an Algorithm Away!”,
will examine how AI agents, predictive engines and automation are increasingly influencing the
customer journey, while exploring where human interaction and judgment continue to create value.
Two Strategic Perspectives on the Future of Commerce
QOMEX 2026 will bring together two interconnected areas shaping the next phase of digital
commerce:
AUTONOMOUS JOURNEYS
Exploring AI powered commerce, predictive customer journeys, intelligent decision making,
personalization, automation and the growing role of AI agents.
PROGRAMMABLE COMMERCE
Examining the infrastructure behind connected commerce, including composable architecture, API
first integrations, data ecosystems, omnichannel operations and scalable commerce platforms.
This approach allows QOMEX to address both sides of the transformation: the experience customers
see and the technology infrastructure making it possible.
A Meeting Point for Commerce Leaders and Technology Innovators
QOMEX is designed to create more than a conference environment.
The summit provides a platform where enterprise decision makers, retailers, ecommerce leaders,
marketplaces, technology providers, innovators and industry experts can exchange practical
insights, explore emerging technologies and create meaningful business relationships.
With 200+ senior leaders expected to attend, QOMEX provides an environment for conversations
between the people building digital commerce ecosystems and the organisations providing the
technology to power them.
For technology companies and solution providers, the summit also creates an opportunity to
demonstrate how their capabilities can address real business challenges across commerce, customer
experience, AI, data, automation, payments and fulfilment.Building on the QOMEX Journey
Following the first edition of QOMEX, the 2026 summit expands the conversation around the
technologies and business models shaping the future of commerce in the UAE and wider GCC.
QOMEX has been developed as a focused platform for those working at the intersection of
commerce, technology, customer experience and operational innovation, with the objective of
bringing the region's decision makers closer to the ideas and technologies defining what comes next.

Miami, FL, USA, September 30, 2026
Cryptoraisa has hit a major new milestone in its ecosystem's development: based on September results, total payouts to platform participants topped $3 million, setting a new monthly record.
The jump in payout volume comes amid increased activity in Exchange Pools, the expansion of the Cryptoraisa community, and growing volumes of liquidity deployed across the ecosystem.
Over $3 Million in Payouts in a Single Month
During September, Cryptoraisa processed payouts totaling more than $3 million, marking the largest monthly figure since the platform launched.
The new record reflects the growing scale of the ecosystem and the activity of its participants.
As liquidity volumes grow, Cryptoraisa keeps building out the technology infrastructure responsible for resource allocation, transaction processing, and how the platform's various components interact.
The Exchange Pools Ecosystem
At the core of Cryptoraisa is the Exchange Pools infrastructure: a system of liquidity pools that brings together participants and the technological mechanisms for managing digital assets inside a single ecosystem.
The platform's internal infrastructure analyzes the activity and needs of different areas, helping distribute available liquidity across operational processes.
Automating these processes lets the infrastructure adapt to changes in activity volumes and support the ecosystem as it scales.
Growing Volumes Require Scalable Infrastructure
The rise in the number of participants and transaction volume puts new demands on the platform's technology side.
That's why Cryptoraisa keeps investing in developing liquidity allocation algorithms, automating internal processes, monitoring infrastructure, and improving the fault tolerance of key systems.
Most of these changes happen at the infrastructure level and require no additional action from users.
More than $3 million in payouts for September is a new indicator of the scale the Cryptoraisa ecosystem has reached as Exchange Pools and participant activity have grown.
The Next Stage of Cryptoraisa's Development
The September result marks another important milestone in Cryptoraisa's long-term development.
The company plans to keep refining the Exchange Pools infrastructure, liquidity management technologies, internal algorithms, and security systems needed for the platform's further scaling.
As new participants join and activity within the ecosystem increases, the demands on the infrastructure will keep growing.
Cryptoraisa sees this process as a natural part of the platform's development and intends to consistently expand its technological capabilities.
The record $3 million in payouts for September marks a new stage for Cryptoraisa and sets another reference point for the ecosystem's continued growth.

Maimi, FL, USA, September 30, 2026
Cryptoraisa has announced an upcoming reduction in interest rates across its Exchange Pools. The decision comes amid the platform's growth, a rising number of new participants, and a substantial expansion of liquidity volumes within the ecosystem.
At the same time, one of the key conditions of the update is that existing Cryptoraisa users won't be affected. For participants already using Exchange Pools, the current terms will be preserved.
Cryptoraisa Is Revising Terms for New Participants
As the platform grows, the volume of liquidity inside Exchange Pools keeps climbing. The growing number of participants is gradually shifting the economics of yield distribution, which is why Cryptoraisa decided to adjust the terms for new users.
The company isn't disclosing a single uniform reduction figure: the parameters may depend on the specific Exchange Pool and the conditions at the time of joining.
As a result, new Cryptoraisa participants will be able to join Exchange Pools at the updated rates.
Existing Users Will Not Be Affected by the Changes
Cryptoraisa paid special attention to the terms for existing participants.
The company stated that the rate reduction won't apply to users' already active placements. They'll continue to operate under the terms that were in effect when they joined the respective Exchange Pools.
That means the update will primarily change the terms for the platform's future expansion, not the parameters of existing positions.
Rapid Platform Growth Was the Reason
One of the factors behind the rate revision was the rise in liquidity volumes flowing into the Cryptoraisa ecosystem.
Exchange Pools are part of the platform's infrastructure, through which available liquidity is allocated and put to work. As the total volume of capital grows, maintaining the previous level of yield becomes harder for an unlimited number of new participants.
So Cryptoraisa decided to adjust the terms for future Exchange Pool participation ahead of time.
What Will Change Going Forward
For existing users, there's effectively no key change. Their current terms are preserved.
The main changes will be felt by new participants and users who add new liquidity after the updated terms take effect.

Most writing about volume bots is either marketing or warnings. Very little of it looks at what token teams actually buy. Boost Legends, a Telegram-based Solana volume bot (solanavolumebot.com, @boostlegends_bot), shared anonymized order data from more than 5,000 campaigns run for over 1,000 token projects between February 2025 and September 2026. Here is what it shows.
What teams buy
Plain volume campaigns are the largest category, but more than half of orders are for something else: Pump.fun bumps (small repeated buys that keep a bonding-curve token near the top of the Pump.fun feed), rank boosts that add transactions and unique buyers, organic-maker campaigns and DexScreener reactions.
Share of orders by service type, Feb 2025 to Sep 2026.
The mix reflects how screeners rank tokens. Volume on its own isn't enough, so teams increasingly buy transaction count and unique makers as separate products.
How long campaigns run
The clearest finding is how short most campaigns are. 43.5% ran for an hour or less, and another 24.8% ran for two to six hours. Only 11.7% lasted more than a day.
Campaign duration, share of orders.
Pacing points the same way: 63% of orders chose the two fastest speed settings. Teams want visible activity immediately, usually timed to a launch or an announcement.
How big the campaigns are
Most orders are small. The 50K volume package accounts for 42.5% of orders and the 100K package for 28.6%. The 200K package, the next step up, is 9.6%.
Package size, share of orders.
When teams launch
Orders peak between 17:00 and 21:00 UTC, which overlaps the US afternoon and the European evening, the busiest stretch for Solana memecoin trading. By day of the week, Monday and Friday are busiest. Those are also the most competitive times to be on a trending list.
Teams come back
51% of customers ordered more than once, and the median customer placed two orders. Most teams test with a small campaign and then return for a launch or a relaunch.
Short bursts vs sustained activity.
The mismatch
The data shows a gap between what teams buy and how visibility works. Screeners rank tokens on activity relative to everything else trading at the same time, over windows of 1, 6 and 24 hours. A 30-minute burst at peak hours competes with the most tokens for the shortest time.
The campaigns that tend to hold a trending spot run longer and at a steadier pace, and are paired with a real community push. The data suggests most teams would get more from spreading the same budget over more hours, and from launching outside the 17:00 to 21:00 UTC peak, when the bar is lower.
Methodology
Figures are shares of orders placed through Boost Legends' Telegram bots from February 2025 to September 2026, covering more than 5,000 campaigns for more than 1,000 projects. Data was aggregated and anonymized; no project, wallet or revenue information is included. Times were converted to UTC.
FAQ
How long do most volume bot campaigns run?
In this dataset, 43.5% ran for an hour or less and only 11.7% ran longer than a day.
What is the most common volume package?
The 50K package, at 42.5% of orders, followed by 100K at 28.6%.
When do most token teams run campaigns?

London, England, September 17, 2026
Tenka has closed its pre-seed round to build the market infrastructure that connects the origination of asset-backed finance with a secondary market, giving investors a credible route to liquidity before maturity without changing the terms of the underlying loans
Tenka, the liquidity platform for asset-backed finance, has closed its pre-seed round led by Maven 11, with participation from Gami Capital and several angel investors. The funding will support the build-out of market infrastructure connecting the origination, placement and trading of asset-backed finance instruments, pairing structured book-building with the foundations of an active secondary market.
Asset-backed finance funds everyday economic activity, from consumer loans and business receivables to equipment leases. Despite the scale of the market, private credit has a liquidity problem: investors seeking to exit before maturity typically rely on bilateral sales or fund-level redemptions, and recent moves by large private credit managers to cap or reshape withdrawals have underlined the distinction between receiving capital back over time and being able to exit when needed. Fund-level liquidity remains constrained by available cash and redemption terms.
"Asset-backed finance funds the real economy. We're building the infrastructure to connect it with more investors and develop a secondary market that provides better options for investors looking to exit," said Emile Dubié, CEO of Tenka.
"Private credit struggles with illiquidity more than asset quality. LPs are locked in for long durations and originators cannot recycle capital. Tenka opens a form of capital formation that did not exist for originators, allowing them to find untapped pools of capital directly onchain. For investors, it unlocks liquidity through the formation of a secondary market, so new investors can buy into opportunities and existing investors gain more flexibility with their strategies," said Alexander Essle, Principal at Maven11.
At origination, structured book-building brings investors together around each transaction's risk, return and duration, with consistent collateral information and clearly defined terms supporting more efficient underwriting. Working with Tranched's onchain securitisation expertise, Tenka combines ongoing collateral reporting, independent valuation and efficient settlement, so a prospective buyer can price an exposure without reconstructing it from scratch.
Tenka connects investors with different liquidity needs and investment horizons, allowing exposure to change hands without changing the maturity of the underlying assets. For example, an investor in a pool of equipment loans may need liquidity before those loans repay, while another investor may be willing to hold that exposure if credit quality, duration and price meet its mandate. A secondary market for asset-based finance connects the two without requiring borrowers to repay early or the fund to finance the exit.
Tenka is building towards a connected market for asset-backed finance, linking initial underwriting and book-building with ongoing price discovery and secondary trading, with the platform scheduled to launch later this year. The objective is not to turn long-duration assets into short-term ones, but to create a credible route to liquidity by enabling investors to transfer exposure. Liquidity depends on buyer demand and price, and an exit at net asset value is not guaranteed.
About Tenka
Tenka builds institutional dealing infrastructure for asset-backed finance, connecting originators, investors and liquidity providers in a single permissioned marketplace with independent valuation, consistent reporting and onchain settlement.

RIYADH, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, September 14, 2026
FINNOVEX Saudi Arabia 2026, the 38th chapter of the FINNOVEX Global Series, concluded on a high note at InterContinental Riyadh by IHG on 2 September 2026. The chapter brought together senior leaders from banking, financial services, insurance, government and enterprise technology to examine the next phase of the Kingdom’s digital finance transformation.
Convened under the theme “Vision 2030 & Fintech Innovation: Accelerating Saudi Arabia’s Digital Finance Ecosystem,” the one-day programme featured more than 40 industry speakers and the participation of more than 10 sponsors and partners. Its agenda was designed around the issues shaping executive decisions now: responsible AI, modern digital banking, payments innovation, open ecosystems, cyber resilience, customer experience and the operating models required to scale transformation with confidence.

Across keynote addresses, leadership panels, fireside conversations and peer exchange, one message remained consistent: technology creates sustainable value only when it is matched by clear governance, institutional trust and disciplined execution. Participants explored how financial institutions can move from experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption while protecting customers, strengthening resilience and supporting the ambitions of Saudi Vision 2030.
The chapter also highlighted the importance of collaboration across the financial ecosystem. Banks, insurers, fintech companies, technology providers and public-sector stakeholders shared perspectives on building interoperable platforms, improving access, accelerating product innovation and developing the talent needed for the next generation of financial services.
“Chapter 38 demonstrated what FINNOVEX is built to do: bring decision-makers and solution leaders into one room, turn strategic ambition into practical dialogue, and strengthen the relationships that will shape finance’s next horizon. Riyadh’s energy and commitment to innovation made this a meaningful milestone for the Global Series.”

Paris, France, September 10, 2026,
Fintech Meetup and Signal Week, formerly Paris Blockchain Week, are joining forces to create new ways for the people shaping fintech and digital assets to connect, collaborate and do business across the US and Europe.
The partnership will combine Fintech Meetup’s meetings-led financial services marketplace with Signal Week’s global digital assets community, launching in Las Vegas and Paris in 2027.
Traditional finance and digital assets are converging fast. Stablecoins, tokenisation and blockchain infrastructure are moving from experimentation towards real-world financial services, while digital asset companies increasingly need access to the institutions and partners that can take those technologies into the mainstream.
Together, Fintech Meetup and Signal Week will create the meeting place for that convergence.
The partnership brings together two highly complementary strengths. Signal Week brings deep digital assets expertise, global brands, builders, investors and policymakers. Fintech Meetup brings the wider financial services ecosystem — particularly banks and other fintech buyers – and its unique, technology-enabled Meetings Program, designed to turn shared interests into valuable one-to-one connections and commercial relationships.
It also marks the first major milestone since Signal Week joined Hyve Group in 2026, bringing both brands under one roof. Connecting the two communities was one of the driving rationales behind the acquisition, and this collaboration puts that strategy into action.
The collaboration begins at Fintech Meetup in Las Vegas in February 2027 and in 2027, the partnership continues in Paris.
Las Vegas
The partnership will come to life at Fintech Meetup 2027, February 22–24 at The Venetian, Las Vegas, as the two organisations jointly launch Digital Assets Summit, powered by Signal Week: The Bridge Between TradFi and Digital Assets. An expanded digital assets experience within Fintech Meetup, the summit puts digital assets at the heart of the event.
The Las Vegas experience will spotlight what is actually being built, deployed and adopted across financial services: real infrastructure, real deployments and real partnerships. The programme will showcase the companies and financial institutions putting the technology into production — from stablecoins and tokenisation to blockchain infrastructure and on-chain markets — and use Fintech Meetup’s Meetings Program to connect them with the institutions, customers and partners that can accelerate adoption.
Signal Week, formerly Paris Blockchain Week, will bring specialist expertise and an established global digital assets community, one that has welcomed leaders from institutions such as BlackRock, Société Générale, Circle and Ripple to past editions. Fintech Meetup will bring its broader fintech ecosystem, financial institution audience and meetings-driven model, with past attendees including Citi, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank and Visa.
Together, the ambition is to be the most important meeting place for the people building, buying and adopting the next generation of financial infrastructure.
Louisa Hunter, President of Fintech Meetup, said: “Traditional finance and digital assets are no longer separate conversations. Banks are exploring stablecoins, tokenisation and blockchain infrastructure, while the companies building that technology need access to the institutions that can take it into the mainstream. Bringing these communities together is timely and incredibly exciting. Signal brings deep expertise, credibility and relationships across digital assets; Fintech Meetup brings the wider financial services ecosystem and a meetings model designed to turn interest into action. Together, we will build the most important meeting place for the people building, buying and adopting the next generation of financial infrastructure.”
Charlie Méraud, Co-Founder of Signal Week, said: “Wall Street is going on-chain, and so is every major financial hub. Not just financial instruments, but payment rails and programmable currencies. After years of the two industries working in silos, building that bridge has been Signal Week’s goal from the start. Partnering with Fintech Meetup puts our community in front of 650+ qualified hosted leaders through a world-class double opt-in meetings program, and that’s the strongest step forward we could have taken.”
Then: a bigger European marketplace
The next major chapter comes to Paris in 2027, when Fintech Meetup Europe and Signal Week combine forces at Signal Week. Together, they will create a much broader meeting point for financial services, spanning banking, fintech, payments, digital assets and emerging financial infrastructure.
For the Fintech Meetup community, that means deeper access to one of the fastest-moving areas of financial services. For Signal Week’s community, it means stronger connections into financial institutions and the wider fintech ecosystem, underpinned by Fintech Meetup’s one-to-one Meetings Program.
Further details about the collaboration will be announced at the launch of Fintech Meetup Europe, October 6-8 in Lisbon.
About Fintech Meetup
Fintech Meetup brings together financial institutions, fintechs, startups, investors, retailers, merchants and technology providers to make the connections that move their businesses forward.
At the centre of the experience is its technology-enabled Meetings Program, which creates curated, double opt-in, one-to-one meetings based on what attendees want to achieve.
Alongside meetings, expert-led content and community experiences give attendees more ways to discover new ideas, find partners, and build relationships across the fintech ecosystem.
About Signal Week
Signal Week, formerly Paris Blockchain Week, is Europe’s institutional summit for digital assets, bringing together the leaders shaping digital assets and onchain infrastructure.
Its global community spans financial institutions, digital asset companies, investors, founders, policymakers, and technology leaders, with more than 10,000 attendees from over 100 countries and 70% of attendees at C-suite level.
Signal Week joined Hyve Group in 2026, alongside RAISE Summit and MACHINA Summit. Together, the additions strengthen Hyve’s growing portfolio across fintech and emerging technology, with RAISE, the world’s leading AI summit, and MACHINA focused on physical AI and robotics.

The GGBR Trust now holds 1,000,000 ounces of in-situ gold from the Happy 2 Mine claims; every Goldfish token holder is a beneficiary of the Trust
GGBR Inc. (d/b/a Goldfish), the technical developer and operator of gold-backed digital tokens, today announced the completion of a restructuring of the collateral supporting its Goldfish tokens. Effective August 19, 2026, Goldfish tokens are backed by the GGBR Trust (the "Trust"), which holds 1,000,000 troy ounces of in-situ gold derived from the Happy 2 Mine claims. All holders of Goldfish tokens are beneficiaries of the Trust.
The new structure replaces the prior lease-based arrangement under which Goldfish tokens were supported by tokens issued by a third party. Under the Trust structure, the gold resource is held directly for the benefit of token holders rather than through an intermediary token layer.
Key elements of the Trust structure:
Direct beneficial interest. Each Goldfish token holder is a beneficiary of the GGBR Trust in proportion to tokens held.1,000,000 troy ounces of in-situ gold. The Trust's corpus consists of 1,000,000 troy ounces of in-situ gold from the Happy 2 Mine claims, which are supported by a NI-43-101 instrument that was prepared with respect to the Happy 2 Mine by a registered geologist in June 2013 and updated by R&D Adventures, LLC in 2026.Independent trustee. The Trust is administered by Le Petit Bouffant, Ltd, an independent trustee, under a trust agreement dated August 19, 2026.Transparency. A trustee certification of the trust agreement, the resource documentation, and the Trust's holdings is available by request through goldfishgold.com.
"Moving the collateral into a trust held for the benefit of token holders is the simplest and most direct way to give Goldfish holders what they actually want: a clear, enforceable claim on the gold behind their tokens," said Colin Breeze, General Counsel of GGBR Inc. "We removed a layer between the holder and the asset."
“We are very happy to partner and support the GGBR opportunity” said Jean Howard, principal of Fluent Technologies LLC, owner of the Happy 2 Mine claims.
Goldfish token holders do not need to take any action; existing tokens are automatically covered by the Trust structure. Updated documentation, including the revised token terms, is posted at goldfishgold.com.
About GGBR Inc. (Goldfish)
GGBR Inc. issues gold-backed digital tokens supported by in-situ gold held in the GGBR Trust for the benefit of token holders. The company is based in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Each Goldfish Gold token (GGBR) represents 1/1000th of a troy ounce and is pegged in real-time to the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Gold Spot Price, giving users direct, premium-free exposure to gold’s historic role as the ultimate safe-haven asset during uncertain times.

Bogota, Colombia, September 9, 2026
With two major Colombian financial institutions onboarded — including state-owned Banco Agrario — more than $500 million in processed volume, and a target of up to $10 million in daily transactions with Financiera Juriscoop, KiiChain is expanding its institutional FX and settlement footprint across Latin America.
KiiChain is expanding its institutional footprint in Colombia through two new agreements that place its 24/7 foreign exchange and settlement infrastructure underneath regulated Colombian financial institutions, including state-owned Banco Agrario de Colombia.
The first is a partnership with Financiera Juriscoop, a regulated Colombian financial institution with more than 40 years in the market. Juriscoop brings institutional Colombian peso liquidity onto KiiChain's FX rails, creating a foundation for currency execution and settlement outside traditional banking hours. The two are targeting up to $10 million in daily transaction volume as the integration scales.
The second names KiiChain as an infrastructure provider for a joint initiative between Banco Agrario de Colombia, the country's state-owned agrarian bank, and Merke Plaza. Banco Agrario holds the banking relationship, custody of funds, and compliance controls. Merke Plaza is digitizing Colombia's plazas de mercado, the traditional market halls that anchor commerce in cities and small towns alike. KiiChain provides the settlement, transaction data, and cross-border FX infrastructure behind the banking, microcredit, and remittance services offered to vendors across that network.
Both agreements follow the same approach: sit beneath existing institutions rather than ask them, or their customers, to rebuild around new technology. Banks keep their customer relationships, compliance processes, treasury operations, and products. KiiChain runs the rails underneath.
That position also opens a wider door. Merke Plaza operates within a broader financial ecosystem that includes relationships with Bancolombia, Davivienda, Banco Pichincha, and Coopcentral. Their participation in the broader network creates a path for KiiChain to pursue further integrations as it deepens local-currency liquidity and opens new FX corridors.
“We didn't build KiiChain to sit outside the financial system. We built it to become infrastructure for it,” said Danyel Arenas, CEO and Co-Founder of KiiChain. “We already have banks in three countries running live volume through our rails. Colombia shows how we scale from here. Our work with Juriscoop and Banco Agrario gives us a foundation to pursue integrations across a broader banking network, including institutions such as Bancolombia, Davivienda, Banco Pichincha, and Coopcentral. More institutions, more local liquidity, more corridors connected through the same infrastructure.”
At the center of that infrastructure is KiiChain's Atomic Quote Network (AQN), which brings the request-for-quote model long used in institutional FX into an always-on settlement environment. Liquidity providers issue cryptographically signed, time-bound quotes that fix rates and execution conditions before settlement, producing an auditable record without requiring institutions to restructure how they operate.
The Colombia agreements build on KiiChain's broader infrastructure expansion, including its August integration with the TRON network, which connected KiiChain's FX rails to one of the world's largest stablecoin settlement networks. The strategy across these integrations is consistent: connect liquidity and settlement networks on one side with regulated institutions and real financial activity on the other. With more than $500 million in processed volume, 200 enterprise clients, and 360,000 registered users, KiiChain is now moving from proving its rails to scaling them across more financial institutions, local currencies, and FX corridors throughout Latin America and other emerging markets.
About KiiChain
KiiChain builds financial infrastructure for 24/7 foreign exchange, settlement, and cross-border financial activity across emerging markets. Its architecture connects financial institutions, liquidity providers, local currencies, and settlement rails, and is designed to integrate with existing financial systems rather than replace them.

San Jose, Costa Rica, September 7, 2026
EagleSwap, a non-custodial cryptocurrency swap platform, today announced that it has reached 10,000 completed swaps. The milestone marks a new stage in the platform’s operations, which allow users to exchange digital assets across supported blockchain networks without creating an account.
The announcement focuses on completed exchanges, providing a concrete measure of activity on the platform. Reaching 10,000 completed swaps represents an operational milestone for EagleSwap and its service for users seeking to exchange cryptocurrencies through a straightforward web interface.
EagleSwap brings asset selection, exchange quotes, and transaction tracking into a single swap flow. Users select the assets and networks they wish to exchange, enter their receiving and refund addresses, and send the required deposit. A dedicated swap page then displays progress through the deposit, processing, and outgoing transaction stages.
This approach gives users a central place to follow an exchange from initiation through completion. Transaction tracking is available within the swap page, while human support is available to assist users with questions or issues during the process.
The platform offers floating and fixed exchange options. Floating rates follow market conditions while a swap is processed. Fixed quotes lock the quoted receiving amount for a specified window, subject to the required deposit being sent correctly and on time. These options allow users to choose how pricing is handled before proceeding with an exchange.
Alongside its public swap interface, EagleSwap provides a reseller API for businesses integrating cryptocurrency exchanges into their own services. The API supports requesting quotes, creating swaps, and tracking their progress through completion. Integration documentation explains how developers can connect these functions to their applications through server-to-server requests.
The 10,000-swap announcement covers EagleSwap’s completed transaction count. It establishes a reference point for the platform’s activity as its website and integration tools continue to provide access to cryptocurrency swaps.
About EagleSwap
EagleSwap is a non-custodial, no-KYC cryptocurrency swap platform that enables exchanges across supported digital assets and blockchain networks. Its website provides swaps without account registration, floating and fixed-rate options, transaction tracking, and access to human support. EagleSwap also offers a reseller API for businesses seeking to integrate swap functionality into their own products.

Dubai, UAE, September 5, 2026
The 2nd Edition of QOMEX will explore AI powered commerce, personalization, automation, omnichannel experiences and the technologies redefining how businesses sell, serve and scale.
Stellar Connect Events LLC is set to host the 2nd Edition of QOMEX Summit 2026 on 9 September 2026 at Al Habtoor Grand Resort, Autograph Collection, Marina,
Dubai, bringing together senior executives and technology leaders from across the UAE and GCC to examine what comes next for digital commerce.
QOMEX, the Quick On-demand Market Experience Summit, is designed around the rapidly changing intersection of digital commerce, quick commerce, artificial intelligence, customer experience, data intelligence and commerce technology.
As customer expectations move toward faster, more personalized and increasingly predictive experiences, businesses are being challenged to rethink not only how they sell, but how they anticipate demand, orchestrate customer journeys and operate at scale.
QOMEX 2026 will bring these conversations together under one platform.
Commerce Is No Longer Just About the Transaction
The next generation of commerce is being shaped before a customer even clicks “buy.”
AI agents are influencing decisions. Predictive engines are anticipating customer needs. Automation is transforming operations. Real time data is changing how businesses make decisions, while
personalization is becoming an expectation rather than a differentiator.
QOMEX will examine the technologies and strategies behind this transformation, with a particular focus on:
AI and Agentic CommerceAutonomous Customer JourneysQuick Commerce and On Demand ExperiencesDigital Commerce and E CommerceData Infrastructure and Real Time IntelligenceExperience Orchestration and PersonalizationOmnichannel CommerceAI and Machine LearningAutomation and Intelligent WorkflowsComposable and API First CommerceDigital Payments and Customer EngagementFulfilment, Last Mile and Operational Intelligence
The summit will move beyond broad discussions around digital transformation to explore the practical infrastructure, technologies and strategies required to build faster, smarter and more connected commerce ecosystems.
Senior Leaders Bringing the Conversation to Life
QOMEX 2026 will feature senior executives from leading organisations across retail, ecommerce, technology, customer experience, marketing, loyalty, payments and digital transformation.
Featured speakers include:
Darine El Sabbagh, General Manager, E Commerce & Omnichannel, Chalhoub GroupAaryan Kapur, Group Head of Digital Marketing, Aster DM HealthcareArwa Cherif, VP Middle East, IbexaKarim Cheaib, Head of Strategic Growth Middle East, IbexaSagarika Nayak, Group Director, Customer Experience and Service Excellence, GMGSuryaveer Singh, Head of Loyalty CRM & Data, ENOCYogesh Sharma, eCommerce Manager, UAE, BeiersdorfMaaz Zahid, Vice President, Digital, Innovation, Customer Experience & AI, ADNOC DistributionShahir Aziz, Head of Payments Platform and New Bets, CareemAntonio Ricciardi, SVP, Consumer Intelligence & Engagement, e& Smiles
Together, these leaders represent the different forces driving the evolution of commerce across the region, from AI and customer intelligence to ecommerce, omnichannel strategy, loyalty, digital
marketing, payments and enterprise transformation.
The Questions Businesses Need to Answer Now
QOMEX is built around the challenges facing commerce leaders today. How much of the customer journey can actually be automated?
Can AI predict what a customer wants before they know it themselves? What happens when personalization becomes real time?
Where does human judgment still matter when algorithms increasingly influence customer decisions?
How can retailers and ecommerce businesses build infrastructure capable of supporting always on commerce?
And perhaps most importantly:
Are businesses adapting quickly enough to the customer expectations they are creating?
These questions will drive the conversations across the summit.
One of the key discussions, “Do We Need Humans? Your Next Customer Is an Algorithm Away!”, will examine how AI agents, predictive engines and automation are increasingly influencing the
customer journey, while exploring where human interaction and judgment continue to create value.
Two Strategic Perspectives on the Future of Commerce
QOMEX 2026 will bring together two interconnected areas shaping the next phase of digital commerce:
AUTONOMOUS JOURNEYS
Exploring AI powered commerce, predictive customer journeys, intelligent decision making, personalization, automation and the growing role of AI agents.
PROGRAMMABLE COMMERCE
Examining the infrastructure behind connected commerce, including composable architecture, API first integrations, data ecosystems, omnichannel operations and scalable commerce platforms.
This approach allows QOMEX to address both sides of the transformation: the experience customers see and the technology infrastructure making it possible.
A Meeting Point for Commerce Leaders and Technology Innovators
QOMEX is designed to create more than a conference environment.
The summit provides a platform where enterprise decision makers, retailers, ecommerce leaders, marketplaces, technology providers, innovators and industry experts can exchange practical
insights, explore emerging technologies and create meaningful business relationships.
With 200+ senior leaders expected to attend, QOMEX provides an environment for conversations between the people building digital commerce ecosystems and the organisations providing the technology to power them.
For technology companies and solution providers, the summit also creates an opportunity to
demonstrate how their capabilities can address real business challenges across commerce, customer experience, AI, data, automation, payments and fulfilment.
Building on the QOMEX Journey
Following the first edition of QOMEX, the 2026 summit expands the conversation around the technologies and business models shaping the future of commerce in the UAE and wider GCC. QOMEX has been developed as a focused platform for those working at the intersection of commerce, technology, customer experience and operational innovation, with the objective of
bringing the region's decision makers closer to the ideas and technologies defining what comes next.

Miami, Florida, September 4, 2026
Digital liquidity platform Spreadefi has announced the launch of its mobile app. The version for Apple devices is now available through the App Store, while Android users can install the app in APK format.
The mobile launch has become one of the platform's key development milestones in 2026. Up until now, Spreadefi's core functionality was available to users through the web interface.

Key App Features
The mobile app is essentially a smartphone-adapted version of the Spreadefi Dashboard. Users can sign in to their accounts, track their balance and earnings, view transaction history, and access the platform's main features.
Security was one of the priorities throughout the development process. Spreadefi says the mobile application was built around the idea that access to financial information and account operations should require multiple layers of protection rather than relying solely on a password.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) provides an additional verification step when accessing an account and performing security-sensitive actions. This means that even if a user's password is compromised, an additional authentication factor can help prevent unauthorized access.
The application is also intended to make it easier for users to monitor activity associated with their accounts. Transaction history, account information, and notifications are available from a single mobile interface, allowing users to notice unexpected activity more quickly and take appropriate action.
The push notification system has therefore been a separate area of focus. Through it, users can get updates on transaction statuses, account changes, platform news, and other important events. In addition to convenience, these notifications can serve as another layer of account awareness by keeping users informed about relevant activity without requiring them to continuously check the web Dashboard.
According to the company, special attention during development went into the app's speed, simplifying navigation on smaller screens, and integrating security measures without making everyday use unnecessarily complicated.
Development Took Place in Several Stages
Spreadefi had previously announced its plans for a proprietary mobile app. As part of the project, the company expanded its mobile development team before moving into internal product testing.
Security testing was also part of the preparation for the public release. The team focused on authentication flows, account access, session handling, and the behavior of security-related features alongside testing the general stability and usability of the application.
In the final stage, platform users were brought in to test the app. Testers evaluated the Dashboard, navigation, notifications, and key user flows. The team used that feedback to refine the product before the public release.
The company had also previously announced the creation of a dedicated user experience department. That team is responsible for collecting feedback and reaching out directly to users, asking them to rate different aspects of Spreadefi, from the interface and mobile app to interactions with support.
What Spreadefi Is
Spreadefi is developing digital liquidity infrastructure and its own Exchange Pools. Users can provide digital assets to pools, and the pooled liquidity is deployed across the platform's infrastructure, including its exchange service and integrated partner solutions.
Participation terms and reward amounts depend on the specific products and platform rules. Working with digital assets carries financial and technological risks.
In addition to Exchange Pools, the company is developing its own Swap, partner tools, and API infrastructure.
Development to Continue After Release
Spreadefi notes that the current release is the first public version of the mobile platform. The company plans to ship updates, optimize performance, and gradually expand what the app can do.
Security will remain one of the priorities for future versions. As the functionality of the mobile platform expands, the company plans to continue developing authentication, account protection, activity monitoring, and other security-related mechanisms alongside new user-facing features.
User feedback collected after launch will also help shape future updates.
As a result, after several months of development and testing, Spreadefi is moving from a primarily web-based format to a full-fledged mobile presence. The app is already available to iOS users through the App Store, while Android users are currently offered an APK version. The company is positioning the mobile release not only as a more convenient way to use Spreadefi, but also as an important part of its approach to protecting user accounts through 2FA, additional authentication controls, and faster visibility into account activity.
