Tenka raises pre-seed led by Maven 11 to build infrastructure for asset-backed finance
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.

Fintech Meetup and Signal Week (formerly Paris Blockchain Week) Join Forces across the US and Europe
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. www.fintechmeetup.com www.signalweek.com

EagleSwap Announces Milestone of 10,000 Completed Swaps
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.
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. A major focus of the mobile release is account security. According to the company, the application was designed not simply as a more convenient way to access Spreadefi from a smartphone, but as an additional secure environment for managing an account and monitoring activity. The mobile platform incorporates additional authentication and account protection mechanisms, including two-factor authentication (2FA), with security controls integrated directly into key user flows. 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. This Press Release was first published on BTCWire
Zoomex Deepens TradFi Push With 50+ Stock Perpetuals and Zero-Fee TradFi
Victoria, Seychelles, September 1, 2026 Zoomex, a global cryptocurrency trading platform focused on derivatives trading, today confirmed that its Stock Perpetuals lineup has grown past 50 contracts, marking one of the most significant product expansions in the exchange's history. The milestone consolidates Zoomex's position as a platform built for traders who want round-the-clock access to the world's most closely watched equities, without ever leaving the derivatives infrastructure they already trust and it lands just as the exchange kicks off a limited-time Zero-Fee TradFi event designed to let traders put that expanded lineup to work at no cost. Source: Zoomex The milestone consolidates Zoomex's position as a platform built for traders who want round-the-clock access to the world's most closely watched equities, without ever leaving the derivatives infrastructure they already trust. 50+ Contracts Across Four Asset Categories The expansion spans four distinct categories of U.S. and global equities, all margined and settled in USDT: established mega-cap anchors including AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, META, TSLA, and NVDA; a fast-growing AI and semiconductor cluster covering AMD, INTC, AVGO, ASML, ARM, MRVL, QCOM, and TXN; crypto-adjacent equities such as COIN, MSTR, MARA, RIOT, CIFR, and HOOD; and a broader healthcare, finance, and consumer segment featuring UNH, GE, JPM, GILD, REGN, AMGN, WMT, KO, PEP, MA, PYPL, and BRK.B. Each contract trades 24/7 with leverage of up to 25x on most pairs, giving traders continuous exposure to names that traditional brokerages close off for two-thirds of every week. Source: Zoomex Same Infrastructure, One Search Away Easy to Use is the design principle running through the entire rollout. Rather than requiring a separate account, a different interface, or a new onboarding flow, every new Stock Perpetual contract runs on the same infrastructure as Zoomex's existing USDT Perpetuals. Traders simply search the ticker under the Stock category in Perpetual Trading and open a position the same way they would on any crypto pair, with no currency conversion, no international wire transfer, and no waiting for a market to reopen. Source: Zoomex That accessibility sits inside a broader industry shift. Tokenized stock perpetuals have moved from a niche experiment to one of the fastest-growing corners of crypto derivatives in 2026, as both retail and institutional traders look for leveraged, always-on access to equities that conventional exchanges gate behind fixed trading hours. Zoomex's answer to that demand has been to build the category out methodically rather than opportunistically: the current 50+ contract lineup is the product of a sustained rollout throughout the year, not a single reactive listing event, and it now lives inside the exchange's newly unified TradFi Zone alongside Commodity Contracts and Stock Tokens. Built on Transparency and Rule-Based Execution Transparent by Design underpins how each contract is structured. Every Stock Perpetual on Zoomex carries clearly published fee schedules, funding rates, and margin requirements, with support for both cross and isolated margin modes depending on how a trader wants to manage risk. There are no hidden spreads and no ambiguity about how a position is priced relative to the underlying equity, an approach the exchange has extended from its crypto-native perpetuals lineup directly onto its equity products. Fair Access & Rule-Based Execution defines the trading experience itself. Every Stock Perpetual is priced and matched through the same high-performance matching engine that underpins Zoomex's core derivatives stack, with consistent execution logic applied whether a trader is opening a position on NVDA at 3 a.m. Seychelles time or closing one on JPM during a U.S. market holiday. That consistency matters more for equities than for most crypto pairs, since the entire value proposition of a stock perpetual is that it behaves identically around the clock, with no gaps in liquidity or execution quality tied to when Wall Street happens to be open. "Fifty contracts isn't just a number, it's a statement about where we think trading is headed," said Fernando Lillo, Marketing Director at Zoomex. "Traders no longer want to think in terms of separate accounts for crypto and equities, or separate hours for when each market is actually open to them. Focused on Derivatives has always meant giving people one infrastructure that can price and execute both, with the same rules applying no matter what's underneath the contract." That single-infrastructure approach is also what makes the expansion Focused on Derivatives rather than a departure from Zoomex's core identity. The exchange has not pivoted away from crypto derivatives to chase equities; it has extended the same derivatives engine, matching logic, and risk controls that already serve its crypto perpetuals to a new asset class, letting traders build cross-asset strategies inside a single account rather than splitting exposure across multiple platforms and jurisdictions. A Trust Framework That Scales With the Lineup Underpinning all of it is the Refined Brand & Trading Experience Zoomex has built around verifiable trust. The exchange publishes regular Proof of Reserves data, undergoes independent security audits through Hacken, and maintains security transparency and regulatory compliance disclosures that traders can check directly rather than take on faith. As the Stock Perpetuals lineup has grown, that same trust framework has scaled with it: reserves backing the platform's USDT-margined products are tracked and reported through the same on-chain transparency process Zoomex applies to its broader treasury, giving traders a way to verify that the infrastructure behind a 24/7 NVDA or COIN position is as accountable as the infrastructure behind its BTC or ETH pairs. Zero-Fee TradFi Event Removes the Cost Barrier to Trying It Timed directly to the 50-contract milestone, Zoomex has launched a TradFi Zero-Fee event running from August 28, 2026, 10:00 AM UTC through September 4, 2026, 10:00 AM UTC, giving traders a concrete, no-cost way to explore the newly consolidated TradFi Zone. The mechanics stay true to Transparent by Design: registration is required to participate, but traders who already signed up for the earlier TradFi Early Bird event are automatically carried over, with no re-registration needed. Source: Zoomex Once registered, any trade executed on a pair within the TradFi Zone, spanning Stock Contracts, Commodity Contracts, and Stock Tokens, including the freshly expanded Stock Perpetuals lineup, qualifies for a 100% rebate on trading fees actually paid, up to a cumulative cap of 100 USDT per user. Rebates are calculated strictly on fees paid in real terms; amounts already covered or discounted through trial funds, fee-deduction vouchers, or other coupons don't count toward the rebate, and for Stock Tokens, on-chain gas costs are excluded as well.

Zoomex Concludes High-Impact "Trade the Tide" Event at Coinfest Asia 2026, Accelerating SEA Market
Bali, Indonesia, August 31, 2026 As a Gold Sponsor of the event, Zoomex gathered traders, builders, and regional partners in Bali to engage in conversations around trust, execution efficiency, and Southeast Asian market adoption. Zoomex, a global cryptocurrency exchange focused on derivative trading experiences, announced that its official side event during Coinfest Asia 2026, “Zoomex Summer Bay Party: Trade the Tide,” was successfully held on August 20 at the Tropical Temptation Beach Club in Bali. As a Gold Sponsor of Coinfest Asia 2026, Zoomex engaged directly with traders, builders, content creators, investors, community members, and ecosystem partners from Indonesia and the broader Southeast Asian region through its main conference presence and dedicated side event. Coinfest Asia 2026 took place from August 20 to 21 at Melasti Beach, Bali. Tailored for institutions, builders, and traders, the conference agenda covered digital asset infrastructure, trading, developer ecosystems, and regional partnerships. Under the theme “Trade the Tide,” Zoomex combined industry discussions, community networking, local Balinese cultural performances, and a beachside social environment, providing attendees with a direct engagement space beyond the traditional conference format. Roundtable Focuses on Trust, Execution Efficiency, and SEA Market Adoption The core industry session of the event was a Mini Roundtable themed: “Trading the Next Tide: Trust, Speed and the Next Wave of SEA Adoption” Moderated by Christian(@christianvctrs), the panel featured Fernando Lillo, Marketing Director at Zoomex, alongside Indonesian crypto educator and content creator Michael Wyann (@itsmikewyann) and crypto trader Andy Tjoeng (@kyojindee). Zoomex had previously confirmed the participation of both regional guest speakers through official channels. The discussion centered on three key operational questions: how digital asset trading platforms build user trust through clear rules, transparent balance information, and continuous communication; how trading speed integrates with execution stability, product ease-of-use, and a complete trading journey; and how platforms can more effectively serve Southeast Asian market participants through localized education, community feedback, and regional partnerships. During the event, Fernando Lillo stated: “Coinfest Asia allows us to hear direct, authentic feedback from traders, builders, and regional communities regarding their product experiences. While market conditions constantly evolve, user expectations remain clear: operations should be simpler, account and balance details should be transparent, and users deserve fair access to their earnings. Zoomex will continue converting this feedback into product and service enhancements tailored for Southeast Asian users.” This message aligns with Zoomex’s current brand proposition: Easy to Use. Transparent balance. Fair access to your earnings. Local Cultural Showcases and Sports Partnerships Elevate the On-Site Experience In addition to the industry roundtable, the event opened with a traditional Indonesian Water Drum performance blending water elements with tech-inspired visuals, followed by a Balinese fire dance, a group toast, official photo sessions, open networking, and a DJ After Party. By pairing local cultural elements with a beachside setting, Zoomex seamlessly connected formal industry discourse with authentic community interaction. Emiliano Martínez, Zoomex’s Global Brand Ambassador and Argentine goalkeeper, greeted attendees via a special video message. The subsequent “Pass-the-Flag” interactive challenge offered participants opportunities to win signed footballs from Martínez and exclusive signed merchandise from the TGR Haas F1 Team. Zoomex currently serves as the Official Cryptocurrency Exchange Partner of the TGR Haas F1 Team, with Emiliano Martínez acting as its Global Brand Ambassador. The interactive session translated Formula 1’s hallmark attributes—speed, precision, and team execution—alongside a goalkeeper’s judgment, focus, and quick reflexes into an engaging offline brand experience for attendees. Zoomex emphasized that its participation in Coinfest Asia 2026 was focused not only on brand visibility during the conference, but more importantly on gaining firsthand insights into the practical needs of regional users, communities, and partners concerning trading experiences, product usability, and industry growth. Through its event sponsorship, industry roundtable, and community side event, Zoomex utilizes offline gatherings as a key channel for regional market engagement. Moving forward, the platform plans to maintain active dialogues with Southeast Asian users and industry partners around derivative trading experiences, intelligent trading tools, transparent rules, and broader market access.

From Play-to-Earn to Player Ownership: GameChain Collective Drives the Next Gaming Evolution
Singapore, August 29, 2026 Gaming experiences get bigger and better as futuristic voices from across the industry meet under one roof at GameChain Collective! Modern-day gamers are evolving from being mere content consumers to owners, contributors, and stakeholders within digital worlds. This trend is rewriting the narrative of how games are developed, distributed, and experienced. GameChain Collective (https://www.gamechaincollective.com/) enters this moment as a platform that explores the next generation of gaming models, where ownership and incentives govern the ecosystem. Powered by Times of Games (https://www.timesofgames.com/), the program is bringing together builders, founders, and innovators working at the intersection of gaming and blockchain. The industry is seeing a clear transformation. Player-owned assets are gaining traction as blockchain technology introduces true digital ownership. With in-game economies transitioning into decentralized systems, in-game tokens and assets are evolving into transferable assets. This movement is changing the rapport between players and developers. Value now flows across ecosystems where users can engage in governance, trade assets, and influence outcomes. GameChain Collective is organized around this change, with a focus on player-driven ecosystems and long-term value creation. The event will explore key topics shaping the future of Web3 gaming. Sessions will discuss NFTs and their real utility in video games. Discussions will also take a close look at in-game economies, i.e., how to design sustainable systems where incentives support long-term growth rather than short-term hype. Another major subject will be interoperability. i.e., allowing assets to move seamlessly across different games. Monetization strategies will be discussed in depth, with honest conversations around balancing revenue generation and also maintaining strong user trust and engagement. GameChain Collective has been thoughtfully created to spark genuine conversations. Insight-driven panels will bring together active industry leaders and builders who are shaping the space. Fireside chats will offer candid, in-depth discussions about the real challenges and tough decisions founders and developers face every day. These will be complemented by open forums where participants can freely share their experiences and viewpoints. The event will also create valuable networking opportunities, connecting attendees with potential partners, investors, and collaborators to turn ideas into action. This gathering is built for a specific and motivated audience. Gaming founders and studio teams will discover fresh models and tools that can directly strengthen their projects. Blockchain developers will discuss infrastructure solutions capable of powering scalable, efficient gaming experiences. Investors active in GameFi will have the chance to meet promising new teams and innovative concepts. On the other side, ecosystem builders and community leaders will share distinctive insights on driving adoption and sustainable growth. Why is GameChain Collective different from a typical conference? Well, because of its strong focus on co-development and open knowledge sharing. Attendees are encouraged to both contribute their expertise and learn from others in equal measure. The growing GameChain community fosters an environment where projects can thrive together by pooling knowledge, resources, and ideas. At its heart, the event believes that real collaboration leads to stronger, more resilient outcomes for the entire ecosystem. Gaming and blockchain are merging quickly, and such platforms like this are becoming increasingly important. Even though adoption is growing by leaps and bounds every minute, several challenges remain around scalability, sustainability, and delivering great user experiences. Developers are racing to build systems that can handle large player bases without compromising performance or security. At the same time, new economic models are needed to ensure both creators and players benefit over the long term. GameChain Collective gives one a practical space to move beyond theoretical discussions and work on real, actionable solutions. Times of Games guarantees strong industry visibility and credibility. Notably, it has also received coverage from over 70 media outlets in previous editions. Beyond the event itself, GameChain Collective is a thriving, ongoing community. Members enjoy continued access to co-development opportunities, shared resources, and educational content. As the gaming industry collectively marches toward ownership-driven models, platforms like GameChain Collective connect ideas with execution and bring together the people shaping the next stage of digital gaming experiences.

GameChain Collective Redefines Web3 Gaming Through Collaboration and Co-Creation
Singapore, October 6, 2026 GameChain Collective has created a new path for Web3 gaming by introducing collaboration as a core of innovation. Powered by Times of Games, the platform is back with a space where ideas are shared openly and development happens collectively. As a community-led platform, the initiative connects builders, developers, and gaming leaders focused on creating long-term value in blockchain-based gaming ecosystems. GameChain Collective’s foundation focuses on maximizing Web3 gaming growth through shared knowledge and resources. The platform promotes co-development for solo developers and publishers. It encourages shared learning through discussions, tutorials, and direct collaborations. It promotes a group mentality that collaborates, evaluates theories, and supports an expanding ecosystem of on-chain gaming. The event focuses on some of the most critical areas shaping Web3 gaming today. These include player-owned economies, tokenomics, and scalable infrastructure. Conversations are held on how ownership and incentives are being redesigned through blockchain technology. Builders examine how in-game assets can move across ecosystems, how token models can be sustainable, and how infrastructure can support millions of users without compromising efficiency. The goal of GameChain Collective is to address real issues that developers face and identify potential solutions. From panels and fireside chats featuring industry leaders to proper user interaction, the event aims to bring structure to help improve the overall Web3 gaming environment. By focusing on builder-oriented networking, these sessions facilitate in-person engagement with developers, founders, and investors. It also helps establish the event as a platform for new collaborations where new ideas, partnerships, and projects are discussed. Over the years, GameChain Collective has established a strong presence across prominent global regions, including Abu Dhabi and Singapore. These editions have connected a number of top voices in the gaming and blockchain industry. Last year’s panel featured “The Future of Play: Innovation, Ownership, and Incentives.” The conversation featured Frederico Kessler, the CPO and Partner at Funfair Ventures; Raiford C. Cockfield III, CEO and Founder of Good Game Group Inc.; Nick Samarin, the CEO of OneWayBlock; Karn Chakerverty, Founder and CEO of Kult Games; and Michael Harding, Director at Foundation Ventures Group. They spoke about how Web3 is transforming gaming systems and the way we interact with players. In addition, Paul Shikhaleev, Head of Sales and Partnership Operations at Cointelegraph, underscored the new ways in which Web 3.0 is shaping monetisation models and gaming user engagement. Beyond the event itself, GameChain Collective continues to grow as a community. Members gain access to co-development benefits, shared resources, and ongoing knowledge exchange. This means that the effects of the platform go beyond a single meeting so that you develop continuous learning and cooperation. If you’re a developer looking to partner with a publisher for your next big Web3 gaming initiative, or you’re a publisher looking for the sleeper indie hit, then GameChain Collective is where you should be. It’s also a wonderful platform to discover the future of gaming and upcoming projects that can redefine the gaming and digital entertainment space. Join GameChain Collective and build a future where Web3 gaming grows through collaboration, not competition.
Zoomex Launches TradFi Zone Upgrade With 80% Fee Discount Early Bird Campaign
VICTORIA, Seychelles, August 27, 2026 Zoomex, a global cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, has rolled out a major upgrade to its TradFi Zone, consolidating Stock Contracts, Commodity Contracts, and Stock Tokens into a single, streamlined destination on the platform. This TradFi Zone upgrade arrives alongside a limited-time Early Bird campaign offering traders an 80% discount coupon on trading fees across a broad list of TradFi pairs, marking one of the most aggressive pushes yet in Zoomex's effort to extend its derivatives infrastructure beyond digital assets. The campaign runs from August 21 to September 2, 2026 (UTC) for registration, with the resulting fee-discount voucher valid for five days from the moment it's claimed. Participation follows a straightforward three-step flow: register for the campaign, receive the reward within 24 hours, and claim the TradFi Hot Pairs coupon directly from the Rewards Hub. No trading is required to register, only to redeem the discount itself. Each user is limited to one voucher, and eligibility depends on regional availability, consistent with Zoomex's standard campaign terms. Traditional Markets Close. Crypto Doesn't. This is the operating premise behind Zoomex's TradFi Zone upgrade. By settling Stock Contracts and Commodity Contracts in USDT and integrating them into the same Unified Trading Account used for crypto perpetuals, Zoomex lets traders build cross-asset portfolios spanning equities, metals, and digital assets without ever leaving the platform or converting into fiat. Positions can be opened long or short, with leverage and margin mechanics mirroring the exchange's existing USDT perpetual contract framework, giving experienced derivatives traders a familiar structure as they step into TradFi markets. Source: Zoomex The scale of the TradFi Zone upgrade is reflected in the sheer breadth of the discount campaign's eligible pairs list, which runs to nearly 100 tickers. Alongside the usual mega-cap anchors, AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, META, TSLA, NVDA, the roster now stretches into AI and semiconductor names (AMD, INTC, AVGO, ASML, ARM, MRVL, QCOM, TXN), crypto-adjacent equities (COIN, MSTR, MARA, RIOT, CIFR, HOOD), and broad index and leveraged-ETF exposure (SPY, QQQ, TQQQ, SOXL, SOXS, TSLL, TZA). International names round out the list, including Samsung, SK Hynix, Hyundai, Xiaomi, and Alibaba, underscoring Zoomex's push toward genuinely global, round-the-clock equity access rather than a narrow U.S. tech basket. Stock Contracts: High-Leverage, 24/7 Equity Exposure The Stock Contracts vertical gives traders perpetual exposure to a growing roster of listed equities across tech, healthcare, consumer, and financial sectors, including recent additions such as UNH, GE, JPM, GILD, AMGN, REGN, WMT, KO, PEP, MA, PYPL, and BRK.B. Stock Contracts are USDT-margined, support both cross and isolated margin modes, and offer leverage of up to 20x, letting active traders size positions to their own risk appetite. Because Stock Contracts trade continuously rather than during standard exchange hours, Zoomex users can react to earnings, macro data, and after-hours volatility in real time instead of waiting for traditional markets to reopen, a structure central to the Easy to Use philosophy Zoomex applies across its product suite: one account, one margin balance, one consistent interface, regardless of whether the underlying asset is a cryptocurrency or a blue-chip stock. Commodity Contracts: Gold, Silver, and Beyond Alongside equities, the Commodity Contracts line extends Zoomex's perpetual engine to core traditional assets including gold and silver, with further commodities planned. As with Stock Contracts, these instruments are built for continuous, high-leverage trading, letting traders hedge against inflation, macro uncertainty, or currency volatility using the same USDT-settled framework that underpins the rest of the platform. For a global user base increasingly seeking diversification beyond digital assets, commodities round out Zoomex's positioning as a full-spectrum derivatives venue, reinforcing its identity as a platform Focused on Derivatives rather than a purely crypto-native exchange. Source: Zoomex Direct Exposure Backed by Real-World Stocks The third pillar of the TradFi Zone, Stock Tokens, takes a different approach from the leveraged perpetual model. Rather than derivative exposure, Stock Tokens track major equities on a spot basis, with each token backed by real-world stocks held through the custody arrangements common to the broader tokenized-equity sector. Stock Tokens give users a lower-risk, non-leveraged way to gain price exposure to household-name companies directly from their Zoomex account, complementing the higher-octane leverage available through Stock Contracts. Combined, the three product lines let traders choose the risk profile that suits them, from conservative, token-based holdings to actively managed, high-leverage derivatives positions. Source: Zoomex Transparent by Design, Fair Access & Rule-Based Execution Underpinning the entire TradFi Zone is the same trust architecture Zoomex applies to its crypto derivatives business. The exchange maintains Proof of Reserves, published fee schedules, and rule-based liquidation and margin frameworks so traders can verify balances and understand execution logic before they trade, a principle Zoomex describes internally as being Transparent by Design. Security audits from blockchain security firm Hacken, together with regulatory registrations including U.S. and Canada MSB, U.S. NFA, and Australia AUSTRAC, add institutional-grade oversight to a category where custody and pricing integrity are paramount. The same Transparent by Design logic extends to risk management. Tiered margin requirements, deviation limits designed to prevent flash liquidations during periods of low liquidity, and consistent funding-rate mechanics across Stock Contracts and Commodity Contracts all reflect Zoomex's commitment to Fair Access & Rule-Based Execution, ensuring every trader, regardless of position size, operates under the same transparent set of rules. Momentum Across the Platform The TradFi Zone upgrade lands amid a broader run of product expansion for Zoomex in 2026, which has seen its stock perpetuals lineup grow past 50 contracts, the rollout of the Strategy Center for automated and copy trading, and the recent launch of Stock Perpetuals Competition Round 2, a parallel initiative offering an escalating prize pool for traders active in equity perpetuals. The TradFi Zone upgrade also arrives alongside a broader brand evolution that includes Zoomex's partnership with the TGR Haas F1 Team, featuring drivers Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon, and its collaboration with footballer Emiliano Martínez, associations the exchange has used to position its platform around precision, consistency, and performance under pressure. The TradFi Zone upgrade extends this Refined Brand & Trading Experience into a category historically dominated by legacy brokerages, giving Zoomex users a single, cohesive interface for navigating crypto and traditional markets alike. With the Early Bird campaign live through September 2 and the TradFi Zone now consolidated under one tab, Zoomex says it plans to continue expanding its equity, commodity, and tokenized-asset offerings in the months ahead. The company frames the upgrade as a natural extension of its mission: building a trading environment where traditional and digital assets sit side by side, accessible 24/7, under one transparent set of rules.

Utorg will use Utapp as the consumer home for future product releases as it expands its app experience beyond the current wallet and card offering. Users can already download Utapp on the App store. Existing iPhone users can restore access to their wallets and cards in Utapp in a few steps using their recovery phrase. Utorg will email a detailed guide to affected users. The change applies only to iOS. Android users can continue using the app as before. “Utapp is not a cosmetic update. It is the product home we have built for the next phase of our business expansion,” said Daniel Stolberg, Co-founder at Utorg. “It gives us a stronger foundation to bring new wallet, card and payment products to users, while keeping the experience simple and putting control of funds where it belongs: with the user.” Today, Utorg’s ecosystem serves more than 2 million users across 130+ countries and combines a self-custodial crypto wallet with tools for holding, buying, sending, swapping, and spending digital assets. Through its card product, users can spend crypto at more than 80 million merchants worldwide where regular cards are accepted. As the company’s products are MiCA-compliant, it allows Utapp to operate within the EU’s new regulatory framework for crypto-asset services. Combined with Utorg’s growing wallet, card, and payment infrastructure, the authorization supports the company’s plans to expand its products and reach a broader user base across the globe. The Utorg team confirmed users can expect further announcements in the coming months, including new features, partnerships, and product launches as the company plans to continue its global expansion.
