GBA enterprises speed up ASEAN expansion, amid trade tensions, with 73 percent fast-tracking plans

HONG KONG, January 14, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Enterprises across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) are accelerating their expansion into ASEAN amid escalating global uncertainties and intensifying tariff pressures. A new joint study, “Hong Kong Empowers GBA Enterprises for ASEAN Growth Amid Global Trade Challenges”, released today by UOB Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), reveals GBA companies are now scaling their ASEAN strategies with greater urgency to boost growth and strengthen supply chain resilience.ASEAN growth set to accelerate furtherReflecting this renewed urgency, the study finds that 73 percent of GBA respondents intend to accelerate their business development in ASEAN, reinforcing the region’s importance as a long-standing and increasingly urgent growth engine amid global trade frictions.ASEAN economies continue to gain prominence, with Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia emerging as the top destinations for GBA enterprises over the next three years. To support expansion plans, companies expect to allocate an average of 30 percent additional resources to their ASEAN expansion plans. Vietnam is the top priority (47 percent increase in resources), followed by Indonesia (37 percent) and Thailand/Malaysia (32 percent each).From a strategic perspective, the primary focus is on driving sales growth – especially in Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia – while expanding production and sourcing bases, with Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia the top choices.Even in Singapore, where GBA enterprises already have the largest footprint, respondents intend to commit an average of 23 percent in extra resources to accelerate their business development in the country, especially in areas, such as financing and establishing regional offices.The study also reports a 25 percentage point year-on-year increase in the number of GBA businesses seeking to expand or maintain sales operations within the ASEAN bloc, with 98 percent of surveyed enterprises continuing to target these dynamic sales markets. This acceleration underscores the region’s heightened urgency to navigate intensifying geopolitical and tariff pressures.Notably, 91 percent of respondents intend to expand or maintain their ASEAN-based production and sourcing hubs — a seven percentage point increase compared to 2024, highlighting stronger intent to diversify supply chains and mitigate external risks.Heightened challenges in ASEAN expansionWhile the momentum is clear, the study also highlights significant hurdles GBA enterprises face, as they expand into ASEAN. The most cited challenge is finding suitable local partners (47 percent), a figure that has risen by 24 percentage points since 2024 and has climbed steadily over the past three years. Cultural and language barriers (46 percent) and difficulties in sourcing specialist talent (40 percent) are also on the rise, up 23 and 15 percentage points, respectively. These challenges underscore the need for trusted advisors and deeper cross-border support.Growing commitment to ESGThe study reveals continued progress among GBA companies in pursuing sustainability goals. Of the participating enterprises, 83 percent currently have green initiatives underway, slightly up from 81 percent in 2024 and marking a three-year high.Furthermore, 96 percent of respondents plan to increase or maintain their ESG funding over the next two years, with 66 percent intending to boost their ESG investment – a 26 percentage point jump from 40 percent in 2024, recording a three-year high. For the next two years, the average intended level of ESG funding on the part of GBA enterprises is now HK$874,771, nearly double the HK$462,535 recorded in 2024.Adaline Zheng, CEO of UOB Hong Kong, said, “For GBA enterprises, ASEAN is not just the next stop – it is the growth frontier. Hong Kong amplifies that momentum, and UOB has the expertise to connect it. With our extensive ASEAN network, deep local insights and sustainability leadership, we help businesses in Hong Kong scale faster, strengthen their resilience and capture opportunities with commitment. We help businesses win the next chapter of regional growth.”Hong Kong as the gateway for ASEAN expansion and ESG leadershipThe survey reaffirms Hong Kong’s role as a critical platform for GBA enterprises seeking to accelerate ASEAN expansion and strengthen ESG programmes. Hong Kong’s role as a superconnector is widely recognised and highly appreciated, earning a score of 7.9 out of 10 for connectivity with both GBA cities and the ASEAN bloc.Wing Chu, Deputy Director of HKTDC Research, said, “With the shifting global supply chain landscape and tariff uncertainties, many GBA enterprises are accelerating their ASEAN engagement not merely as a means of risk diversification, but to capture new growth opportunities in fast-evolving markets. Hong Kong’s unique positioning as a superconnector allows businesses to leverage the city’s comprehensive trade, financial and professional services platform to navigate this transformation efficiently, while strengthening their ESG commitments. The HKTDC will continue to proactively support GBA enterprises in leveraging Hong Kong's professional services to capitalise on opportunities in the ASEAN markets.”Among the 73 percent of GBA enterprises intending to accelerate their ASEAN development, two-thirds have leveraged Hong Kong’s platform to advance their expansion.On the ESG front, Hong Kong offers diversified, forward-looking, sustainable development solutions necessary for green and sustainable business development, with its green services rated at 8.8 out of 10 by surveyed enterprises.In addition, more than 90 percent respondents are considering or already increasing their uptake of Hong Kong’s sustainable development services over the next two years. The most in-demand services include: (1) green financial products and services; (2) green financing services; (3) ESG reporting, due diligence, ESG rating; and (4) green asset valuation.The report, based on insights from more than 600 businesses across Hong Kong and five key mainland GBA cities (Dongguan, Foshan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhongshan), examines how businesses are adjusting strategies amid global challenges, and how Hong Kong continues to play a pivotal role as a superconnector, empowering GBA enterprises to diversify supply chains within ASEAN and advance their ESG commitments.

GA-ASI and USN Test Expanded Sonobuoy Dispensing System For MQ-9B SeaGuardian(R)

SAN DIEGO, Jan 14, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and the U.S. Navy continue to expand the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capability of the MQ-9B SeaGuardian® Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). Flight test was performed on December 17 and featured Sonobuoy Dispensing System (SDS) pods, more than previously tested, doubling the number of sonobuoys available."Expanding sonobuoy capacity, including Multi-static Active Coherent (MAC) technology for SeaGuardian, has been an integral part of our advanced ASW strategy to broaden and enhance search areas," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "The wider maritime coverage our MQ-9B's ASW capability provides is extremely valuable to our customers."Sonobuoys are naval sensors that drop from an aircraft into the ocean and help detect submarines. The SeaGuardian deployed AN/SSQ-36 Bathythermal, AN/SSQ-53G Directional Frequency Analysis and Recording (DIFAR) (passive), and AN/SSQ-62F Directional Command Activated Sonobuoy System (DICASS) (active) buoys. This was the first time Multi-static Active Coherent (MAC) buoys have been dispensed from an uncrewed aircraft. The MAC buoys are better at detecting submarines over large areas and require fewer buoys compared to using DIFAR and DICASS.Sponsored by the U.S. Navy, the flight tests were specifically aimed at certifying the SDS. This flight testing supports the Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet's Operational Evaluation deployment to SEVENTH Fleet and enjoyed additional support and governmental supervision from the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) AIRWorks.Upon completion of the testing and data review, the U.S. Navy is expected to give GA-ASI deployment flight clearance for ASW operations using MQ-9B SeaGuardian in January 2026.SeaGuardian has also been used by the U.S. Navy in various recent exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®. The company is dedicated to providing long-endurance, multi-mission solutions that deliver persistent situational awareness and rapid strike.For more information, visit www.ga-asi.com.Avenger, EagleEye, Gray Eagle, Lynx, Predator, Reaper, SeaGuardian, and SkyGuardian are trademarks of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., registered in the United States and/or other countries.CONTACT:GA-ASI Media RelationsGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.ASI-MediaRelations@ga-asi.com(858) 524-8101SOURCE: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.

DPC Dash – Domino’s Pizza China Defies Headwinds in 2025 as Strong Q4 Performance Cements Market Leadership

HONG KONG, Jan 14, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China's restaurant industry grew 3.3% to RMB 5.22 trillion in revenue through November 2025, government data showed, even as competition intensified beyond product and service into battles over supply chains, digitalization and capital strength.Chain expansion has emerged as the key differentiator, with China's restaurant chain penetration rate rising steadily in recent years and expected to reach 25% in 2025, according to Meituan platform data. Industry reports show that the pizza category stands out, as China’s pizza market reached RMB 48 billion in 2024 and surpassed RMB 50 billion in 2025. Against this backdrop, DPC Dash-Domino's Pizza China (1405.HK) disclosed its Q4 2025 business results this month, reinforcing its position as the market leader.Store Expansion Achieves Quality and Scale GrowthDPC Dash is the exclusive master franchisee for Domino's Pizza in the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR. The company's 2025 store deployment closely aligned with industry trends, achieving breakthroughs in scale and efficiency. As of December 31, 2025, total store count exceeded 1,315 locations, representing 307 net new stores year-over-year, with entry into 21 new cities and expanding coverage to 60 cities. On January 1, 2026, the company accelerated expansion further, with 62 new stores opening across 46 cities.This efficient expansion benefits from mature store expansion models and precise market judgment. In 2025, when overall industry store counts fluctuated due to competition, DPC Dash’s efficient, high-quality expansion results proved particularly impressive. New store performance further validates brand strength—the first store in Dalian generated sales close to RMB 700,000 on its grand opening day during the 2026 New Year holiday, setting a new record in Domino’s global system. As of Q3 2025, DPC Dash holds 49 of the top 50 spots in first-30-day sales rankings among Domino's global network. By store count, the Chinese Mainland market has become Domino's third-largest international market, with regional penetration capabilities continuing to lead.Operating Resilience Emerges, User Ecosystem Solidifies Growth FoundationDue to structural market factors, category shifts and changing consumer trends, the restaurant industry's average order size remained under pressure in 2025, with consumers increasingly favoring affordable, quality dining options. Amid these trend shifts, DPC Dash achieved steady growth against such headwinds, demonstrating strong operational resilience.In Q4 2025, the company's tier-one city same-store sales growth (SSSG) maintained positive momentum. Excluding impacts from new market stores opened after December 2022, group-level SSSG also remained positive for both H2 2025 and full-year 2025. Even despite high prior-period comparisons and competitive market pressures, core market risk resilience remained outstanding. Continued user community expansion supported performance growth. As of December 31, 2025, total membership reached 35.6 million, up 45.3% from 24.5 million at year-end 2024. New users completing first orders through proprietary and third-party channels in the past 12 months continued growing, exceeding 15.4 million.Strong operating metrics and user base earned DPC Dash the "Most Valuable Consumer Company Award" and "Best IR Team Award" from Zhitong Finance's listed company ranking, further solidifying capital market recognition of its operating quality and growth logic.Product & Marketing Dual-Engine Drive, Digitalization Enables Efficiency UpgradesAligning with the pizza category’s "localized flavor" trends, DPC Dash employs product innovation and scenario marketing as twin engines, continuously strengthening user stickiness. In 2025, pizza sector innovation focused on flavor fusion. Building on this foundation, DPC Dash further expanded global flavor combinations, launching Sicilian-Inspired Beef & Bamboo Shoot Pizza and Madrid-Inspired Beef and Shrimp Pizza in Q4, satisfying diverse consumer taste preferences. The 2025 hit product Volcano Crust pizza series won the "Phenomenal Product Impact Award” as part of the Seven-Star Convention Alliance’s inaugural food and beverage consumer influence rankings for its phenomenal product innovation. While innovating, the company continues leading the industry in food safety, health advocacy and sustainable development, earning the Seven-Star Awards for the fifth year.Simultaneously, the company upgraded two popular pizzas with additional toppings at the same price, highlighting value advantages amid declining industry order sizes. On the marketing front, the company launched Halloween-themed snacks tied to seasonal scenarios, brought back the classic "Mega Week" promotion to lower consumption barriers, and partnered with Sanrio's popular character Kuromi for limited-edition merchandise, precisely targeting diverse consumer groups.Behind these initiatives lies strong digital capability support. DPC Dash leveraged its mature online operating systems and data-driven strategies to win the "Top 20 Digitalized Enterprise" from the China Digital Innovation Expo. Its digital practices highly align with industry trends of online channels becoming important growth drivers, providing broad space for business expansion.Comprehensive ESG Efforts Achieve Commercial and Social Value SynergyAs the industry accelerates "food industry + digital intelligence + dining + leisure" integration, DPC Dash continues deepening ESG initiatives, achieving synergistic growth of commercial and social value. In 2025, DPC Dash received multiple awards including the 2025 ESG Outstanding Listed Company Award at International Green Zero-Carbon Festival, and the 2025 Most Socially Responsible Listed Company Award from National Business Daily. These honors not only recognize sustainable operations but also align with consumer expectations for brand social responsibility, further strengthening brand reputation. In talent management, DPC Dash earned Mercer's "Best Employer" honor for the fourth time and first-time "Star Employer" recognition.Looking Forward: Deepening 4D Strategy, Leading High-Quality DevelopmentIn 2026, China's restaurant industry will transition comprehensively from scale expansion toward quality and efficiency improvement. After breaking through the RMB 50 billion market scale, pizza category competition will focus more intensely on product innovation, digital efficiency and refined operations. The Western fast-food segment will continue to see dual battles over localization and scale.DPC Dash plans to continue deepening its 4D Strategy of Development, Delicious Pizza at Value, Delivery, and Digital, continuously mining consumption potential across market tiers while optimizing store network layout. The company will also iterate on product portfolios, upgrade digitalization and strengthen supply chain resilience to further consolidate core competitiveness. With proven operating systems, strong brand momentum and multi-dimensional industry recognition, DPC Dash is positioned to continue leading China's pizza market in the new year, providing a replicable model for Western fast food and the broader restaurant industry's high-quality development.

Fujitsu launches demonstration experiment into green steel value flow utilizing blockchain technology to accelerate decarbonization in the steel Industry

Kawasaki, Japan, Jan 14, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced that it has commanced a demonstration experiment into the value flow of green steel [1] in the steel industry starting in December 2025. This project was previously selected by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) as part of its FY2025 Industrial Research Project under the theme Survey Project on the Transmission of Green Steel Information Linked to Steel Materials Across Supply Chains in November 2025.This demonstration experiment will leverage Fujitsu's expertise in CO2 emission reduction materials, blockchain technology, and data distribution platforms to ensure that data can be distributed safely and that the environmental value of green steel and transaction confidentiality can be secured. The experiment will be carried out from December 2025 to February 2026. Through this initiative, Fujitsu seeks to accelerate decarbonization across the manufacturing sector, beginning with the steel industry, and contribute to the establishment of a sustainable supply chain.Through this project, Fujitsu will contribute to environmental initiatives and digital transformation (DX) promotion in the steel industry. Furthermore, based on the knowledge gained from this project, Fujitsu will explore the development of mechanisms for green steel information distribution and the potential for expansion into the steel industry data space from 2026 onwards. Under Uvance, Fujitsu’s business model to solve societal issues, the company will also realize a mechanism that enables the secure and flexible sharing and utilization of reliable environmental value data across national and industry boundaries, thereby advancing corporate competitiveness and the realization of a sustainable society.BackgroundReducing CO2 emissions related to the steel industry is an urgent challenge for society. While industry organizations produce and supply green steel using GX Mass Balance [2] and GX Allocation [3] methods in accordance with established guidelines, there is a challenge in adequately distributing its environmental value throughout the downstream supply chain.Project OverviewThis initiative aims to examine mechanisms for ensuring that environmental value, such as emissions reduction steel certificates issued by steel manufacturers through green steel production, flows through the supply chain from upstream to downstream without being duplicated or compromised. It also seeks to identify challenges in current business practices and operational issues for each business operator when such mechanisms are applied.In this demonstration experiment, Fujitsu will build a data distribution platform environment to ensure traceability of company/industry data and leverage Fujitsu Sustainable Value Accelerator, an offering under Uvance that supports green transformation (GX). With the cooperation of various steel businesses, the experiment will involve distributing third-party certified green steel certificates to verify the uniqueness of environmental value, prevent double-counting, and maintain value when passing through intermediate processors or different distribution channels.[1] Green steel:Steel with significantly reduced CO2 emissions during manufacturing compared to conventional steel (METI Journal ONLINE, Metal Industries Division, April 17, 2025).[2] GX Mass Balance Method:A method that utilizes the "mass balance model" defined in ISO 22095:2020 to pool greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions from additional projects undertaken by a company within its organization, and then allocates these to specific products, supplying them along with reduction certificates (from The Japan Iron and Steel Federation GX Steel Guidelines).[3] GX Allocation Method:An approach based on "allocation" in ISO 14067:2018 and ISO 14044:2006, where GHG total emissions (emission intensity × production volume) are kept constant, and emission reductions are allocated to products (GX steel/non-GX steel) to reflect the relationship between high and low GX value, within the scope of GHG emission reductions (from The Japan Iron and Steel Federation GX Steel Guidelines).Fujitsu’s Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015 represent a set of common goals to be achieved worldwide by 2030.Fujitsu’s purpose — “to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation” — is a promise to contribute to the vision of a better future empowered by the SDGs.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

Toyota Systems, Fujitsu utilize quantum-inspired technology and AI to streamline on-board computer design and contribute to sustainable development

Nagoya, Tokyo and Kawasaki, Japan, Jan 14, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Toyota Systems Corporation (Toyota Systems) and Fujitsu Limited, in collaboration with Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota), today announced the successful application of quantum-inspired technology and AI to automate one aspect of the automotive parts design process.In a world first for the automotive industry, the technology was applied to automate the placement design for connector pins, metal parts that enable the transmission of electrical signals across circuits and components. The parts are deployed in the car’s electric control unit (ECU), a small onboard computer that controls the vehicle’s systems.The mobility industry faces demand for sustainable product development and the need to address increasingly complex software and hardware designs but is facing a severe shortage of skilled personnel. In the ECU development process at Toyota, the connector pin placement design for a 100-pin terminal array theoretically involves a vast number of combinations (9.3 x 10^157). This led to prolonged design review times and reliance on individual expertise.To address these issues, Toyota Systems and Fujitsu, in collaboration with Toyota, tried to automate the process applying Toyota's design standards and expertise, Toyota Systems' operational and infrastructure knowledge in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis [1] for the Toyota Group, and Fujitsu's Digital Annealer, a core component of Fujitsu Computing as a Service, and its AI technology.This initiative involved training an AI model with information on connector pin placement patterns and their evaluation scores, previously determined by the knowledge and experiences of skilled engineers. This AI model was then converted into mathematical expressions and processed at high speed by the Digital Annealer to automatically calculate the optimal connector pin placement. As a result, the process was accelerated by more than 20x compared to conventional methods.Both companies began applying this mechanism in actual operations for Toyota's mass-produced ECUs in parallel with conventional methods starting in May 2025.Moving forward, Toyota Systems aims to expand this development to supplier companies, promoting the application of cutting-edge technology and digitalization in Toyota Group's wider manufacturing processes. Fujitsu will contribute to realizing a safe, secure, and comfortable mobility society by supporting the Toyota Group's sustainable development and design. Both companies will work to improve development speed and quality and reduce costs by expanding the application scope of this mechanism.[1] Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis: Engineering method that simulates product design and performance on a computer, allowing for evaluation and verification. Contributes to reduced development time, cost reduction, and quality improvement.About Toyota SystemsToyota Systems is an IT solutions company established in Jan. 2019 by merging 3 different Toyota IT subsidiaries. The mission of the company is to support Toyota Motor Corporation and its group companies by developing innovative IT solutions and, by doing so, to contribute to develop the mobility society of the future.

Meta 調整績效考核以獎勵產出而非努力,效仿 Amazon 和 X

(SeaPRwire) -   Inc. 成為最新一家調整績效考核流程的科技公司,將重點放在員工的產出而非努力上。 據報導,該公司正在推出一個名為 Checkpoint 的新績效考核平台,該平台將對員工進行評級,將他們分為四個類別,並獎勵表現出色的頂尖員工。 一位 Meta 發言人告訴:「我們正在演進我們的績效計畫以簡化它,並更加強調獎勵傑出的表現。」「雖然我們的員工一直以來都處於高績效、以影響為導向的文化中,但這個新方向能以更有效率的方式提供更頻繁的回饋和認可。」 該備忘錄概述了預期的結果和基本獎金的薪資倍數。約有 20% 的員工將被標記為「傑出」,有資格獲得雙倍薪資的獎金;70% 的員工將被標記為「優秀」,獲得 115% 的薪資獎金;約 7% 的員工將屬於「需要改進」類別,有資格獲得最高為薪資 50% 的獎金。 約有 3% 的員工可能被標記為「未達預期」,將無資格獲得獎金。另一方面,該系統將獎勵頂尖表現者,獎金最高可達 300%。 績效考核更新之際,其他大型科技公司也已改革其績效考核系統,以更好地反映員工的表現。Amazon 的要求企業員工列出三到五項能體現其最佳工作的成就。而在 2022 年,Elon Musk 要求 X(前身為 Twitter)的員工每週說明他們完成了什麼。 Meta 計畫於 1 月 22 日舉行全公司會議,向員工進一步解釋這些變更。新變更將影響 2026 年的績效週期,並且不會改變目前的考核週期。新系統將包含每年兩次的考核週期,每次週期使用相同的評級系統。作為此新考核時間表的一部分,獎金將每年支付兩次。 效率是科技巨頭的遊戲規則 科技公司越來越尋求具體的產出範例作為生產力的證明,要求員工展示他們表現的優劣。雖然產出一直是企業績效考核的長期基石,但對產出導向評估的新推動反映了科技領導者日益增長的需求,以激勵員工證明傑出的表現。 自 2021 年接替創始人 Jeff Bezos 以來,Amazon 執行長 Andy Jassy 一直致力於減少管理層級和消除官僚主義。Google 執行長 Sundar Pichai 表示,他旨在讓公司更精簡,以促進「產品卓越和生產力」。 Meta 的重大變革 這一直是 Meta 的趨勢,該科技公司將其稱為「效率之年」,因為公司縮減了人力。2022 年,該公司裁員約 13% 的員工,即 11,000 人。去年,該公司裁員了 5% 的員工,約 3,000 人,目標是低績效員工。 可以肯定的是,Meta 績效考核系統的更新並非預示著將有更多裁員。但據報導,Meta 本週將宣布裁員其 Reality Labs 部門,因為該公司正在縮減其元宇宙業務。 Meta 執行長 Mark Zuckerberg 在去年的裁員前表示:「我們通常會在一年內處理掉那些未達預期的員工。」「但現在我們將在本週期進行更廣泛的基於績效的裁員。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Polygon Labs 以2.5億美元收購兩家加密初創公司 旨在與Stripe競爭

(SeaPRwire) -   區塊鏈開發商Polygon Labs已完成收購加密初創公司Coinme與Sequence的交易。兩家初創公司的總收購價超過2.5億美元,但Polygon Labs拒絕透露分別支付的金額,也未說明交易是以現金、股權還是兩者混合支付。  Polygon Labs執行長Marc Boiron與Polygon Foundation創辦人Sandeep Nailwal在受訪時表示,這項收購旨在協助區塊鏈網絡的穩定幣策略。總部設於西雅圖的Coinme專精於將現金轉換為加密貨幣,並以加密ATM相關業務聞名,在美國擁有多項貨幣傳輸執照。與此同時,總部位於紐約的Sequence則打造區塊鏈基礎設施,包括加密錢包。 Nailwal表示,Polygon Labs收購這兩家初創公司使其與這家金融科技巨頭展開競爭。過去一年,這家支付巨頭收購了一家、一家,並打造了自己專注於支付的區塊鏈。Stripe的收購動作顯示出其有意掌控穩定幣堆疊的每一個層面,從處理支付的伺服器到用戶持有加密貨幣的帳戶。  「某種程度上,這是反向的Stripe。」Nailwal談到Polygon的穩定幣布局時表示。Stripe先收購穩定幣初創公司,再打造自己的區塊鏈。與之相反,Polygon已擁有長期存在的區塊鏈網絡,並引入初創公司在其上建構。「Polygon Labs正成為一家全面的金融科技公司。」Nailwal說。 Stablecoin shift Polygon Labs進軍支付領域之際,恰逢穩定幣(即與美元等真實世界資產挂鉤的加密貨幣)掀起熱潮。尤其在唐納德·川普總統7月將規管這些代幣的新法案簽署成法後,、,甚至銀行都表示將推出自己的穩定幣,支持者稱其是對數十年歷史金融基礎設施的升級。 Polygon Labs的區塊鏈網絡建立在Ethereum之上,旨在乘著這股熱潮發展。該公司最為人知的是在2021年至2022年NFT熱潮期間的突出表現,過去一年來在支付領域進行了大量投資,甚至挖角了Stripe的加密業務負責人John Egan。  Coinme是其最新的支付領域布局,CoinDesk報導稱該交易價在1億至1.25億美元之間,這意味著Sequence的價格在1.25億至1.5億美元之間。但Polygon Labs執行長Boiron反駁了這一報導。「CoinDesk在那篇文章中寫的幾乎都是錯的。」他說。 他還表示,自己並不擔心Coinme的法律糾紛。2025年,與的監管機構針對這家加密公司的違規行為採取行動,其中包括未阻止客戶從該公司旗下的加密ATM每日提領超過1,000美元。華盛頓州監管機構在追查這家初創公司一個月後,決定暫緩對Coinme的停止令。  「我認為他們遠遠超過了要求。」Boiron談到Coinme的合規制度時表示。「在後端,他們處理用戶風險限制的方式,我認為是最先進的。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

鮑威爾領導的聯邦儲備委員會的獨立性已死?特朗普這次聰明反被聰明誤

(SeaPRwire) -   關於特朗普總統動用聯邦調查人員,準備對備受尊敬的聯邦儲備委員會主席傑伊·鮑威爾(Jay Powell)——他自己任命的人——提出可能的刑事起訴指控,唯一令人驚訝的是竟然有人對這則新聞感到意外。 金融市場最初下跌後反彈,因投資者將特朗普司法部的行動視為跛腳鴨總統的無力威脅而不以為意,與此同時共和黨內出現裂痕,黨內公開表達了對司法部(DOJ)及聯邦儲備委員會神聖獨立性的擔憂。 例如,參議院銀行委員會的共和黨資深參議員 聲稱:「如今受到質疑的是司法部的獨立性和公信力。」 同樣,眾議院金融服務委員會主席、共和黨眾議員 稱這項調查是「不必要的干擾,可能損害本屆政府及穩健的貨幣政策決策」。 就連特朗普自己的財政部長 也對他針對鮑威爾的「報復性調查」提出質疑。 針對特朗普前國家安全顧問約翰·博爾頓(John Bolton)、前聯邦調查局局長詹姆斯·科米(James Comey)和克里斯托弗·雷(Christopher Wray)、紐約州總檢察長萊蒂蒂亞·詹姆斯(Letitia James)、前中央情報局局長約翰·布倫南(John Brennan)、聯邦儲備委員會理事莉薩·庫克(Lisa Cook)、前國土安全部官員邁爾斯·泰勒(Miles Taylor)、參議員亞當·希夫(Adam Schiff)、網絡安全負責人克里斯托弗·克雷布斯(Christoper Krebs)以及前特別檢察官傑克·史密斯(Jack Smith)等人的接連不斷、戲劇性的起訴浪潮令人震驚。正如特朗普的訊息顯示,他親自指揮了這些起訴,展現了將司法系統武器化以打擊他眼中政治敵人的行徑。一些批評者認為這猶如《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》中瘋狂的紅心皇后衝動發脾氣,對任何讓她不悅的人尖叫「砍掉他們的頭」。然而,人們忽視的是,這些舉動其實是更為深思熟慮的行動,屬於更大戰術模式的一部分。 對鮑威爾的指控——他因建築翻修超支向國會撒謊——荒謬至極,此類指控必將被法院駁回。所謂的40%成本 或許屬實,但並不構成犯罪,更談不上魯莽。聯邦儲備委員會實際翻修成本為25億美元,因成本上漲超支40%,但特朗普上月承認,他自己推動的東翼拆除及新建白宮舞廳項目預算已飆升至 超支。這實在令人震驚,因為該項目僅在六個月前啟動,而特朗普作為建築商本應知道如何準確估算建造成本。  這些成本並不過分,因為這是自1937年馬里納·埃克爾斯大樓(Marriner Eccles building)建成90年來首次全面翻修。相比之下,附近的哈特、拉塞爾和德克森參議員辦公大樓以及坎農眾議員辦公大樓數十年來持續進行了大規模翻修。  此外,無論這些常見的超支性質如何,沒有一分錢來自美國納稅人資金。聯邦儲備委員會用自有預算資助這些翻修,因其運營上完全自給自足,主要資金來源是其持有美國國債的投資收益。  今年夏天,特朗普在全國電視上陪同參觀施工現場時企圖突襲鮑威爾,但適得其反,鮑威爾 並讓他難堪。特朗普聲稱翻修成本飆升至31億美元的謊言被證實錯誤,因他錯誤地將另一棟已完工的建築翻修成本包含在內。 表面上,特朗普惱火於聯邦儲備委員會未更快、更大幅度降息,而這正是鮑威爾主席 被針對的原因,正如他抱怨的:「這一新威脅與我去年6月的證詞或聯邦儲備委員會大樓翻修無關……那些都是藉口。刑事起訴威脅是聯邦儲備委員會基於我們對服務公眾的最佳評估設定利率,而非順從總統偏好的後果。」 我近期在耶魯CEO峰會(Yale CEO Summit)上採訪的200位CEO中,高達71%抱怨特朗普政府的行動已削弱了聯邦儲備委員會的獨立性,81%表示傾向於在鮑威爾主席任期今春結束後,由理事克里斯·沃勒(Chris Waller)擔任潛在繼任者,假設他將強化聯邦儲備委員會的獨立性。  那麼,如果這場法律戰攻擊不是衝動發脾氣,其戰略動機是什麼?就像特朗普本月謊稱對委內瑞拉的攻擊是出於美國石油生產商的預期利益(對方堅決否認,稱委內瑞拉「不可投資」),這更多是特朗普轉移注意力的策略。在我的新書《特朗普的十誡》(Trump’s Ten Commandments,西蒙與舒斯特出版(Simon & Schuster))中,我將此標籤為他的「聲音之牆」策略,旨在將公眾敘事從他低迷的民調中轉移——年底全國調查顯示僅36%民眾認可,另有調查顯示57%不認可。甚至超過一半的MAGA/特朗普選民在愛潑斯坦檔案處理、負擔能力及醫療保健問題上不支持特朗普。他的移民與海關執法局(ICE)/移民策略支持率近期驟降30%。  但特朗普成功達成了讓所有媒體停止全天候抨擊他在關鍵國內政策上軟弱之處的目標。此外,他在這場針對聯邦儲備委員會/鮑威爾的轉移注意力行動中還動用了另外三項手段——他援引自己的「中心輻射」領導模式(即不存在獨立控制機構)、以有選擇的報復壓垮對手,以及熟練運用大眾傳播宣傳經典工具「沉睡效應」(即反覆堅定傳播謊言,最終使其獲得關注)。  這些是我標籤為特朗普「十誡」的10項工具中的四項。儘管他誇誇其談,但他是經過深思熟慮選擇這些工具,而非真正衝動行事。特朗普絕非缺乏洞察力或愚蠢。他聰明得像狐狸,但即便通常象徵智慧與狡詐的狐狸,最終也會成為自己自以為聰明的犧牲品。 本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Atlas Critical Minerals Commences Trading On NASDAQ Under Ticker Symbol “ATCX”

Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Jan 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (NASDAQ: ATCX) ("Atlas Critical Minerals" or the "Company"), an exploration and development company advancing projects in rare earths, nuclear-grade graphite, and uranium, essential for advanced technology applications, energy transformation, and defense uses, is pleased to announce that its common shares have commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "ATCX."Marc Fogassa, CEO and Chairman of Atlas Critical Minerals, commented: "Our Nasdaq listing represents a transformational milestone, allowing enhanced visibility at a global scale and expanding access to institutional investors. Our diversified portfolio across multiple critical minerals is virtually unique among publicly traded companies and reflects the dedication of our technical and business development teams. We are humbled by the investor interest in our recent offering, which enabled us to upsize the financing, and look forward to progress on multiple fronts in the months ahead."Atlas Critical Minerals controls more than 218,000 hectares of mineral rights representing one of the largest critical minerals portfolios among publicly traded companies. The Company's diversified asset base spans rare earths, nuclear-grade graphite, uranium, and an expanding revenue-generating iron ore operation. The Company's mineral properties are in Brazil - a country known to have the world's second-largest deposits of rare earths after China.Key Portfolio HighlightsDual Rare Earths Strategy: The Alto do Paranaíba Rare Earths Project features high-grade conglomerate-hosted mineralization with surface samples up to 28,870 ppm TREO (Total Rare Earths Oxide), drilling intercepts including 12 meters at an average of 5,961 ppm TREO, and a 28% Magnetic Rare Earths Oxide MREO-to-TREO ratio. The Iporá Rare Earths Project holds ionic clay mineralized deposits with MREO recovery rates exceeding 60% for critical permanent magnet rare earths elements.Nuclear-Grade Graphite Confirmed: Malacacheta Graphite Project achieved 99.9995% carbon purity in independent U.S. laboratory testing, qualifying for the ultra-premium nuclear graphite market which has been reported to command $25,000-$35,000 per tonne — a 10-15x premium over standard battery-grade graphite normally commercialized in the $2,000-$2,400 range per tonne.Strategic Uranium Portfolio: 143,725 hectares across 39 mineral rights some of which are strategically positioned adjacent or close to areas restricted by Brazil's government because of high uranium potential. Brazil ranks among the world's top ten countries in uranium reserves, offering significant exploration upside in an underexplored jurisdiction. The Company is actively evaluating these areas in anticipation of potential regulatory changes in Brazil.Revenue-Generating Operations: The Company's Rio Piracicaba Iron Ore Project commenced revenue-generating operations in late November 2025, with iron ore shipments now being transported six days per week to a contracted third-party processing facility for conversion into sinter feed. This capital-light operating model is expected to provide near-term cash flow to contribute towards corporate costs including exploration activities for the critical minerals project portfolio.Rare Earths: Dual-Project StrategyThe Company's rare earths portfolio encompasses 53,939 hectares across 33 mineral rights in Minas Gerais and Goiás states.The Alto do Paranaíba Project, located in Minas Gerais state, comprises 21 mineral rights covering 27,737 hectares with conglomerate-type formations rich in rare earths and containing titanium as potential commercial byproduct. Geological surface sampling demonstrated results as high as 29,870ppm for TREO. From a total of 809 samples analyzed — 608 samples exceeded 1,000 ppm TREO and 121 samples exceeded 3,000 ppm TREO. Initial drilling of 11 holes totaling 144 meters confirmed near-surface mineralization including DHTI-001 with 12 m at 5,961 ppm TREO and DHTI-002 with 6m at 7,729 ppm TREO. A technical report prepared by SGS under the guidelines of Item 1300 of Regulation SK ("SK 1300 Technical Report") on the Alto do Paranaíba Project was filed with the SEC on August 14, 2025.The Iporá Project, located in Goiás state, comprises 12 mineral rights covering 18,615 hectares targeting ionic clay deposits. Drilling intercepts include DHIP-0006 at 8m at 2,071 ppm TREO and 775 ppm MREO, with a peak 1-meter interval of 3,822 ppm TREO and 1,803 ppm MREO. Metallurgical testing achieved MREO recovery exceeding 60%, HREO recovery of 55%, and yttrium recovery of 63%. An SK 1300 Technical Report prepared by SGS on the Iporá Project was filed with the SEC on October 3, 2025.Graphite: Nuclear-Grade Quality ConfirmedThe Malacacheta Graphite Project comprises 1,258 hectares in Minas Gerais state. An initial SGS-authored SK 1300 Technical Report was filed with the SEC on August 14, 2025 ("Graphite Technical Report"). Comprehensive characterization of graphite concentrate samples from the Malacacheta Project sent to American Energy Technologies Company (AETC), a U.S. laboratory specializing in graphite, achieved the remarkable level of 99.9995 wt.% carbon purity through thermal purification — meeting stringent nuclear-grade specifications without the use of halogen gases. Additionally, the samples' post-purification BET surface area of 0.89 m²/g placed the material on par with leading deposits including premium Chinese flake graphite from Qingdao province. AETC's conclusion The Graphite Technical Report was updated to include the results of such metallurgical studies and filed with the SEC on November 12, 2025.Uranium: Strategic Positioning for GrowthThe Company's mineral rights with potential for uranium mineralization span 143,725 hectares across 39 mineral rights in Bahia, Ceará, Goiás, Piauí, Pará, and Tocantins states in Brazil. As energy demand from data centers supporting AI revolution and other advanced computing applications outpaces traditional sources, nuclear energy is expected to play an increasingly important role. Growing interest in small modular reactors to power the data centers at remote locations further supports robust long-term market demand for uranium. The U.S. currently imports most of its uranium from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Canada, while nuclear energy already provides 20% of U.S. electricity. Atlas Critical Minerals is well positioned to benefit from potential Brazilian legislative reform and ongoing Western efforts to diversify uranium supply chains.Iron Ore: Early Revenue GenerationThe Company's Rio Piracicaba Iron Ore Project, located in Brazil's renowned Iron Quadrangle area, commenced revenue-generating operations in late November 2025. An SK 1300 Technical Report on this project demonstrated resources of 7,852,912 tons at 32% Fe average grade, with metallurgical testing demonstrating the ability to concentrate the material using magnetic separation techniques to 64.8% sinter feed product, a premium-product range. Under a strategic partnership with an independent third-party operator, the Company's iron ore is mined and delivered to a nearby processing facility for conversion into sinter feed. Atlas Critical Minerals receives revenues from the raw iron ore sales with values per tonne based on a percentage of the Platts IODEX 62% Fe pricing and protected with a pre-determined floor minimum.About Atlas Critical Minerals CorporationAtlas Critical Minerals Corporation (NASDAQ: ATCX) is an exploration and development company advancing projects in rare earths, nuclear-grade graphite, and uranium, essential for advanced technology applications, energy transformation, and defense uses.
