SINGAPORE, Apr 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Travelling overseas often feels exciting until unexpected charges appear on your card statement after returning home. Many travellers from Singapore rely on overseas credit cards for convenience, rewards, and security, but international transactions can sometimes include hidden costs that are easy to overlook. From currency conversion markups to foreign transaction fees, these charges can quietly increase overall travel expenses. Understanding how these charges work can help travellers manage spending better and make more informed payment choices while abroad.Below are practical ways that can help minimise hidden fees when using credit cards overseas while keeping travel spending smooth and predictable.Understand foreign transaction fees before travellingForeign transaction fees are among the commonly overlooked charges linked to overseas spending. Many cards issued in Singapore charge a fee of around 3.25% per foreign currency transaction, which may not seem significant at first glance. However, on a holiday budget of SGD 4,000, this fee alone can add SGD 130 to total expenses without obvious visibility during purchases.Reviewing the fee structure of an overseas card before travelling can help travellers estimate actual costs more accurately. Some cards offer reduced or promotional foreign transaction charges, which can help manage overall travel budgets more effectively. Knowing these details in advance may also help travellers decide when card payments make financial sense compared to alternative payment methods.Consider paying in local currency instead of SGDWhen paying overseas, merchants sometimes offer the option to charge the amount directly in Singapore dollars. This feature, known as Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), may appear convenient because it shows the final amount immediately. However, exchange rates used in DCC transactions often include markups, which can exceed standard bank conversion fees.Choosing to pay in the local currency allows the overseas card network to process the exchange instead. Card networks typically apply more competitive rates compared to merchant-set conversions. Over multiple transactions, such as dining, shopping, and transport, this can help reduce unnecessary markups.Check card currency conversion ratesExchange rates used by card issuers fluctuate daily and may differ slightly from rates seen on currency apps or news platforms. While the difference per transaction might appear minor, frequent purchases abroad can still affect total spending. For example, a 1% difference on SGD 2,500 worth of spending can translate into roughly SGD 25 in additional costs.Reviewing how an overseas card calculates exchange rates can provide better transparency. Some banks publish their rate calculation methods, allowing travellers to estimate expected charges more accurately.Avoid overseas ATM withdrawals when possibleWithdrawing cash abroad using a credit card can trigger multiple layers of fees simultaneously. These may include cash advance fees, overseas ATM operator charges, and immediate interest accrual starting from the withdrawal date. In Singapore, cash advance fees commonly range between 6% and 8% of the withdrawn amount, with minimum charges around SGD 15.Using an overseas card mainly for purchases rather than cash withdrawals can help reduce these compounded costs. Carrying a modest amount of exchanged currency from Singapore or using debit-based solutions for cash needs may help travellers avoid high-interest situations linked to credit card withdrawals overseas.Watch for hotel and car rental pre-authorisation chargesHotels and car rental companies frequently place temporary holds on credit cards as security deposits. These pre-authorisation amounts can be significant depending on location and booking type. Although not permanent charges, they temporarily reduce available credit limits and sometimes involve conversion adjustments once released.Understanding how pre-authorisation works can help travellers avoid confusion when reviewing statements. Using an overseas card with sufficient credit limits may reduce the likelihood of declined transactions during travel. Checking release timelines with merchants can also help travellers track when funds become available again after checkout.Choose a Travel Credit Card designed for overseas spendingNot all credit cards function the same way internationally. Some overseas card options available in Singapore include travel-focused features, such as lower foreign currency fees, travel rewards, or complimentary insurance coverage. These features can help offset certain costs associated with overseas spending when used strategically.Comparing card benefits based on travel frequency, spending habits, and destinations can help travellers identify options aligned with their lifestyle. A well-matched overseas card may also offer added value through rewards or travel-related privileges, making international spending more predictable overall.Final thoughtsFor Singapore travellers, using an overseas card thoughtfully, alongside awareness of currency conversion practices and transaction structures, can help make international payments more transparent. With a few informed habits, overseas spending can remain convenient while reducing the likelihood of unexpected costs appearing after the journey ends.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

NEW YORK, Apr 24, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - FastX today announces the official launch of its platform, a next-generation exchange built for professional and active traders who require institutional‑grade tools without surrendering custody or control of their assets. FastX goes live globally on 5 May, with traders able to access the platform directly at fastx.co.FastX combines deep on‑chain liquidity, multi‑asset perpetual futures markets, and an advanced copy-trading engine designed to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the decentralized digital asset ecosystem. By leveraging blockchain technology, the platform delivers low‑latency mirroring of trades across major decentralized networks worldwide—while keeping users in full control of their own wallets and risk."FastX was created by traders for traders," said Adelene, Chief Executive Officer of FastX. "We've spent our careers on Wall Street desks and in crypto markets, and we've seen the same problems repeat: opaque execution, misaligned incentives, and copytrading systems that ask users to blindly outsource decisions. FastX is our answer—a decentralised, transparent infrastructure layer where traders keep custody, and technology works to augment, not replace, their edge."Backed by a team of veteran traders with more than 50 years of combined experience across top Wall Street institutions and leading crypto trading firms, FastX is built from the ground up as a decentralised protocol. Users connect their own wallets, maintain self‑custody at all times, and interact with smart contracts that execute trades on‑chain, rather than relying on a centralised broker or custodial exchange.At launch, FastX will offer:Deep, on‑chain liquidity across a wide range of perpetual markets, designed to support serious position sizes with tight spreads and minimal slippage.A fast, intuitive trading interface accessible directly via fastx.co, allowing traders to plug in with their preferred wallet and start trading in minutes.A transparent affiliate and points system that shares a meaningful portion of platform fees with the community and rewards traders and partners who help grow liquidity and volume.The flagship feature of FastX is its next‑generation copytrading system. Unlike traditional social trading products that mirror orders on a single venue with unpredictable delays, FastX's engine is designed to route and synchronise copy trades across major decentralised exchanges, layering those capabilities on top of FastX's own liquidity.The result is a copytrading experience that aims to:Minimise latency between lead and follower execution.Mitigate structural risks such as slippage, desync, and obvious forms of manipulation.Exploit decentralised advantages, such as transparent on‑chain track records and programmable risk controls, without turning the platform into a centralised black box."Copytrading has always been typecast as a blind, autonomous disaster waiting to happen," Adelene added. "FastX takes the opposite stance. We use technology to bring more transparency, not less—on‑chain track records, built‑in risk parameters, and infrastructure that reduces front‑running and execution games wherever possible. Over time, our goal is to layer AI‑driven intelligence on top of this foundation so that users can benefit from advanced analytics and risk management, rather than just 'follow and hope'."FastX is currently seed‑funded by a network of angels deeply embedded in the global crypto trading ecosystem. These backers share a common view that the next generation of markets will be built on open, verifiable rails and that traders deserve better, more transparent instrumentation for expressing and managing risk. FastX is assembling a strong advisory board of experienced traders, market makers, and technologists to guide the exchange through its next phase of growth.As a decentralised protocol, FastX does not take custody of user funds and does not operate as a traditional broker. All positions, liquidations, and fee flows are visible on‑chain, giving traders clear, verifiable insight into how the system behaves under all market conditions."Our vision is simple," said Adelene. "We want professional‑grade perpetuals and intelligent copytrading to live where they belong: on transparent, decentralised infrastructure, not in a black box. Launching FastX on 5 May is the first step. From here, we'll continue to ship faster execution, smarter tooling, and AI‑enhanced copytrading that helps traders survive and thrive in 24/7 markets."Traders can learn more and access the exchange at https://fastx.co.About FastXFastX focuses on building decentralised financial infrastructure and tools for professional traders and sophisticated market participants.

SHENZHEN, Apr 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (the “Group” or “CMS”) is pleased to announce that the New Drug Application (NDA) in China for the Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (SAR) indication of MG-K10 (generic name: Comekibart Injection, “MG-K10” or the “Product”), a Class 1 innovative drug anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection, for which the Group holds co-development rights (excluding the indication of atopic dermatitis (AD)) and exclusive commercialization rights, was accepted by the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA) on 23 April 2026. The Product is proposed for the treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe seasonal allergic rhinitis whose symptoms remain inadequately controlled after treatment with intranasal corticosteroids.The acceptance of the NDA represents an important milestone for the Group’s ophthalmology business, CMS Vision, as it expands its therapeutic focus from ophthalmology into the field of otolaryngology (ENT). It also marks another significant milestone in the Group’s research and development progress in the field of type 2 inflammatory diseases. If the Product is successfully approved for marketing, the Group will leverage its strong academic promotion capabilities and extensive commercialization network to accelerate the commercialization of the Product. It is also expected to further enhance the academic brand influence of CMS Vision in the relevant specialty areas and provide new momentum for the Group’s business growth.BIC Potential: Dosing once every 4 weeks; Phase III study met the primary endpoint with a favorable safety profileMG-K10 is an innovative long-acting anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody that simultaneously blocks the signaling pathways of the key type 2 inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-13, thereby exerting immunomodulatory effects. It is being developed for the treatment of type 2 inflammatory diseases, including seasonal allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Currently marketed anti-IL-4Rα therapies require administration once every two weeks. MG-K10, with its longer half-life, enabling a once-every-four-weeks dosing regimen. It therefore has the potential to become the first long-acting anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibody to be marketed globally, with the potential to be best-in-class. MG-K10 has met the primary endpoint in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial in adult patients with moderate-to-severe seasonal allergic rhinitis. The results of the Phase III study demonstrated that the primary endpoint achieved statistical significance, with significantly superior efficacy compared with the placebo group, and a favorable safety profile.Focusing on Unmet Needs: ~250 million patients; 62% of moderate-to-severe patients remain inadequately controlled; long-acting breakthrough brings new treatment opportunitiesAllergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa mediated by IgE, with type 2 inflammation as the core pathogenic mechanism. It occurs in susceptible individuals upon exposure to environmental allergens such as pollen and dust mites. In recent years, the prevalence of the disease in China has increased from 11.1% to 17.6%, affecting approximately 250 million people[1], among whom 52.2% are patients with persistent moderate-to-severe disease[2]. The disease burden is significant and has become an important public health issue. Current standard treatments, including intranasal corticosteroids and antihistamines, have notable limitations. 62% of patients with moderate-to-severe disease remain inadequately controlled[3]. Long-term use of intranasal corticosteroids may lead to adverse reactions such as epistaxis[4], while antihistamines are often associated with side effects such as drowsiness[5], indicating significant unmet clinical needs. As a biologic therapy targeting IL-4Rα, MG-K10 can block the type 2 inflammatory pathway at its source. Compared with currently approved biologics targeting the same pathway (which require dosing once every two weeks), MG-K10 achieves a differentiated breakthrough in dosing frequency with its long-acting property allowing administration once every four weeks, thereby significantly extending dosing intervals. This may help improve patient treatment adherence and reduce the time and economic burden associated with frequent hospital visits. The Product has the potential to provide a new treatment option for patients with moderate-to-severe disease who respond poorly to conventional therapies, thereby reducing the individual and socio-economic burden associated with the disease.On 24 January 2025, the Group through subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement (“Agreement”) with Hunan Mabgeek Biotech Co., LTD and its subsidiary for MG-K10. In accordance with the Agreement and supplementary agreements, the Group has obtained the co-development rights (excluding AD) and exclusive commercialization rights for the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and Singapore; its subsidiary Dermavon Holdings Limited has obtained, through its subsidiary, the co-development rights (excluding AD) and exclusive commercialization rights for the Product in the field of dermatological indications in Mainland China.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products.

This helps companies diversify supply chains, explore new markets, and underscores Hong Kong’s strength as an ‘International Exhibition Capital’ which boosts efficient business platforms. The fairs are the preferred platform for the industry to showcase innovation, connect with global buyer networks and accelerate business development.”Survey findings: Respondents were most optimistic about the India and Australia marketsTo keep abreast of the latest industry developments, the HKTDC conducted an on-site survey during the fairs, interviewing 450 exhibitors and buyers. The findings show that overall confidence among exhibitors and buyers in future business development has shown a general increase.Key market outlook and product trend findings:49.1% of respondents expect overall sales to increase in the next 12 to 24 months, while 47.6% expect sales to remain stable.Respondents consider India (73.4%), Australia (71%), ASEAN countries (70.4%), and Japan (68.1%) to be promising or very promising target sales markets for lighting products over the next two years in terms of growth.In terms of new market development, exhibitor respondents are actively exploring Middle East (31.8%), Europe (29.5%), ASEAN countries (23.9%), Latin America (17.6%) and North America (14.8%).In the smart lighting segment, respondents identified home automation and intelligent lighting control systems (48.2%), energy saving lighting control solutions (38.2%), and outdoor smart security lighting systems (31.1%) as having the greatest growth potential over the next two years.Compared with conventional lighting products, respondents indicated that consumers are willing to pay an average premium of 29% for lighting products equipped with smart functions.Scenario-based displays and new zones enhance sourcing effectiveness, with positive trade outcomesThe newly launched “Light Lab” features various scenario-based and immersive designs, integrating lighting products into landscape, sports, cultural and artistic application settings.

We expect this to result in orders worth over US$1 million.”The Smart Lighting Expo also debuted the “Smart Display and Stage Lighting & Sound Zone” which displayed a wide range of intelligent display solutions.

Sambath HK, Manager of RS Decoration from Cambodia, stated, “I travelled here specifically to source lighting products for 14 new commercial building and luxury residential projects. I have already met with over 20 new suppliers and identified two potential partners offering smart street lights, solar lights, and decorative lighting products. I will initially purchase US$100,000 worth of smart street lights.”Driven by the Belt and Road Initiative, urban development in participating countries and regions are in full swing, fuelling a continuous surge in demand for high-efficiency and smart lighting products. Aigerim Beisekina, Supply Manager of Karelz.kz from Kazakhstan, said: “This is our first time visiting the twin lighting fairs, to find reliable suppliers for a solar-powered stadium and sports lighting for three international schools currently under construction in Kazakhstan. Through the Click2Match business matching platform, we have identified three potential suppliers from the Chinese Mainland and plan to purchase lighting equipment valued between US$600,000 and US$900,000.”During the fairs, multiple professional events were held, including the Asian Lighting Conference and the Smart Lighting Solutions Forum.

Users connect their own wallets, maintain self‑custody at all times, and interact with smart contracts that execute trades on‑chain, rather than relying on a centralised broker or custodial exchange.At launch, FastX will offer:Deep, on‑chain liquidity across a wide range of perpetual markets, designed to support serious position sizes with tight spreads and minimal slippage.A fast, intuitive trading interface accessible directly via fastx.co, allowing traders to plug in with their preferred wallet and start trading in minutes.A transparent affiliate and points system that shares a meaningful portion of platform fees with the community and rewards traders and partners who help grow liquidity and volume.The flagship feature of FastX is its next‑generation copytrading system. Unlike traditional social trading products that mirror orders on a single venue with unpredictable delays, FastX's engine is designed to route and synchronise copy trades across major decentralised exchanges, layering those capabilities on top of FastX's own liquidity.The result is a copytrading experience that aims to:Minimise latency between lead and follower execution.Mitigate structural risks such as slippage, desync, and obvious forms of manipulation.Exploit decentralised advantages, such as transparent on‑chain track records and programmable risk controls, without turning the platform into a centralised black box."Copytrading has always been typecast as a blind, autonomous disaster waiting to happen," Adelene added. "FastX takes the opposite stance. We use technology to bring more transparency, not less—on‑chain track records, built‑in risk parameters, and infrastructure that reduces front‑running and execution games wherever possible. Over time, our goal is to layer AI‑driven intelligence on top of this foundation so that users can benefit from advanced analytics and risk management, rather than just 'follow and hope'."FastX is currently seed‑funded by a network of angels deeply embedded in the global crypto trading ecosystem. These backers share a common view that the next generation of markets will be built on open, verifiable rails and that traders deserve better, more transparent instrumentation for expressing and managing risk. FastX is assembling a strong advisory board of experienced traders, market makers, and technologists to guide the exchange through its next phase of growth.As a decentralised protocol, FastX does not take custody of user funds and does not operate as a traditional broker. All positions, liquidations, and fee flows are visible on‑chain, giving traders clear, verifiable insight into how the system behaves under all market conditions."Our vision is simple," said Adelene. "We want professional‑grade perpetuals and intelligent copytrading to live where they belong: on transparent, decentralised infrastructure, not in a black box. Launching FastX on 5 May is the first step. From here, we'll continue to ship faster execution, smarter tooling, and AI‑enhanced copytrading that helps traders survive and thrive in 24/7 markets."Traders can learn more and access the exchange at https://fastx.co.About FastXFastX focuses on building decentralised financial infrastructure and tools for professional traders and sophisticated market participants.

香港, 2026年4月23日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 全球ADC藥物市場正經歷爆發式增長，2024年市場規模突破250億美元，其中前五大商業化產品的年度銷售額均突破10億美元，Padcev更是以近26億美元的成績證明了靶向Nectin-4 ADC的廣闊前景。與此同時，中國創新藥企不再滿足於本土市場，紛紛將目光投向海外。在這一輪出海浪潮中，邁威生物憑藉差異化的管線設計、積極的對外授權策略以及新興市場的商業化落地，逐步展現出清晰的全球化路徑。邁威生物成立於2017年，是一家具備從藥物發現到商業化銷售全產業鏈能力的中國創新製藥公司。公司已於2022年1月在上海證券交易所科創板上市（股票代碼：688062），此次赴港上市旨在構建「A+H」雙融資平臺，進一步打開國際資本通道，為海外商業化創造更便利的條件。核心產品獲FDA多項認定，國內外臨床試驗啟動截至目前，邁威生物擁有4款已上市產品及10款候選藥物，覆蓋腫瘤、免疫、骨科、眼科等領域。其中，核心產品9MW2821（靶向Nectin-4 ADC）在多個適應症上展現出全球領先的臨床開發進度。在尿路上皮癌領域，該產品是在中國開發的同類靶點ADC中進展最快的，全球範圍內僅次於已上市的Padcev；其聯合特瑞普利單抗的一線療法III期試驗正在推進中，有望於2027年提交新藥上市申請（NDA）。在宮頸癌領域，9MW2821更是全球首款進入關鍵III期試驗階段的靶向Nectin-4 ADC，該III期臨床試驗已於2024年9月啟動，預計2027年完成。針對三陰性乳腺癌，9MW2821精准聚焦拓撲異構酶抑制劑ADC經治後的耐藥患者這一差異化賽道，已在中國開展II期試驗，並於2025年8月在美國啟動I期研究，計畫後續開展全球多中心II期或III期臨床試驗。目前，9MW2821已累計獲得美國FDA授予的多項快速通道認定及孤兒藥資格認定，並獲中國國家藥監局授予兩項突破性療法認定，充分驗證了其全球同類最佳的潛力。除核心產品9MW2821外，邁威生物的ADC管線儲備同樣頗具看點。靶向B7-H3的7MW3711已在國內獲批聯合特瑞普利單抗及JS207等療法的Ib/II期研究，並獲FDA授予小細胞肺癌孤兒藥資格，初步臨床資料在肺癌、食管癌等實體瘤中顯示出良好安全性與抗腫瘤活性。另一款靶向CDH17的7MW4911則在中美雙軌並行，國內I期與美國I/II期臨床同步推進，精准聚焦高發消化道腫瘤。兩款產品的快速推進不僅豐富了公司ADC產品矩陣，更凸顯了其在差異化靶點佈局與全球臨床開發上的創新執行力。超20億美元對外授權，驗證管線全球價值通過對外授權將早期管線的價值變現，同時加速已上市產品的商業化放量，邁威生物已形成清晰的商業閉環。2025年，公司總收入達到6.59億元人民幣，同比增長230.0%。其中對外授權收入4.09億元，收入占比62%。主要授權合作包括：授予齊魯製藥在大中華區獨家開發及商業化邁粒生®（長效G-CSF）的權利，獲得首付款及里程碑付款；授予Disc在除大中華區及東南亞以外的全球範圍內獨家許可9MW3011（抗TMPRSS6單抗）的權利，潛在里程碑金額最高達4.125億美元，並已達成II期試驗里程碑；授予Calico在除大中華區以外的全球獨家開發及商業化9MW3811（靶向IL-11單抗）的權利，潛在里程碑金額最高近6億美元；授予Kalexo Bio在全球範圍獨家開發、生產和商業化雙靶點siRNA候選藥物的權利，潛在里程碑金額最高可達10億美元，此外公司還有權獲得其雙位數A輪優先股股權。上述合作總潛在里程碑金額超過20億美元，不僅為公司帶來了即期現金流入，也證明了其創新管線的國際競爭力。通過精准選擇深耕細分領域的合作夥伴並實施對外授權，公司已將創新管線的價值推向全球舞臺；與此同時，依託自主研發夯實長期創新根基，邁威生物在早期價值變現與持續研發投入之間建立起良性迴圈，實現了全球化佈局與內生增長的雙重驅動，構建起可持續的創新發展範式。生物類似藥持續落地，商業化網路持續擴張在產品出海方面，邁威生物以生物類似藥作為切入新興市場的突破口。2025年8月，邁利舒®及邁衛健®在巴基斯坦獲批上市，成為巴基斯坦首個獲批的Prolia®及Xgeva®生物類似藥。此外，公司已與巴西、秘魯、沙特阿拉伯、菲律賓等多個國家的領先製藥公司簽訂合作協定，推動產品在當地的註冊與商業化。2025年12月，君邁康®（阿達木單抗生物類似藥）也在印尼獲批上市，並已與16個國家訂立海外合作協定。同時，公司自主研發的長效G-CSF邁粒生®於2025年5月獲批上市，是首個全球上市的採用白蛋白長效融合技術開發的G-CSF藥物，公司已將其在大中華區的獨家開發及商業化權利授予齊魯製藥。依託齊魯製藥在腫瘤領域成熟的銷售網路和強大的商業化能力，邁粒生®有望快速切入龐大的G-CSF市場，有效解決該領域大量未得到滿足的醫療需求，在競爭激烈的市場中佔據一席之地。這些海外上市進展表明，邁威生物不僅具備研發能力，更擁有將產品推向國際市場的註冊與商業化執行力。對於新興市場而言，高品質且具成本優勢的生物類似藥存在巨大未滿足需求，邁威生物的提前佈局有望在未來數年持續貢獻收入增量。為支撐海外商業化佈局，邁威生物始終堅持以國際標準構建品質體系。公司位於江蘇泰州的生產基地嚴格符合中國GMP標準及歐盟EMA GMP標準，而正在建設的上海金山大規模商業化生產基地同樣遵循歐盟EMA GMP標準設計。此外，公司的地舒單抗生產線已零缺陷通過哥倫比亞INVIMA的現場審計。基於此，邁衛健®（地舒單抗，120mg）和邁利舒®（地舒單抗，60mg）已成功實現海外商業化發貨。接軌國際的品質管制體系不僅為產品在新興市場的註冊與商業化奠定了堅實基礎，也確保了公司在全球供應鏈中的合規性與競爭力。結語邁威生物已構建起涵蓋差異化ADC管線、對外授權落地、生物類似藥海外上市及國際品質體系認證的全球化佈局，實現了自主研發、對外授權與海外商業化的協同驅動。此次赴港上市不僅是其資本戰略的關鍵一步，更將為其打開國際資本通道，加速海外臨床研究、全球註冊申報以及商業化網路拓展。在港股生物醫藥板塊估值處於歷史低位的當下，公司用扎實的管線與商業化成果，向國際投資者展示了中國創新藥的務實路徑。具備真正全球化能力的ADC新貴，值得長期關注。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, Apr 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sinch Mailgun, part of Sinch, has released its Email Impact Report 2026, introducing new industry benchmarks across 10 high-volume sending sectors and revealing a gap between email performance and execution.Based on insights from more than 400 billion emails sent in 2025 and a global survey of over 1,200 email senders, the report shows that while email remains a critical, high-performing channel, poor deliverability is leaving significant revenue on the table. Nearly 18% of emails fail to reach the inbox, putting up to a fifth of potential return on investment at risk for many organisations.78% of respondents say email is critical to business success. At the same time, the research highlights a growing disconnect between performance and execution, driven by gaps in measurement, deliverability practices and AI application.“APAC businesses rely heavily on email to drive sales, loyalty and customer experience but many are not set up to capture its full value,” said Ginger Kidd, Vice President Marketing & Communications APAC at Sinch. “What we see in this data reflects what’s happening locally: brands are investing in email and seeing strong returns, yet there is still a high number of messages that never reach inboxes. For instance, in a market as competitive and cost-conscious as Australia, marketers simply can’t afford for emails to get lost in inboxes. When budgets are under pressure, fixing deliverability is one of the fastest ways to unlock more value from the spend they already have.”AI adoption is widespread, but its impact remains uneven. Many teams focus on basic use cases such as content generation, while higher-impact applications such as optimisation, segmentation and deliverability remain underutilised. Organisations that use AI more effectively are significantly more likely to report improved email performance.Ginger Kidd said: "Across the diverse markets of APAC, we’re seeing a common theme: marketers are enthusiastically adopting AI, but the initial focus has primarily been on content creation. The true opportunity now lies in leveraging AI for smarter decision-making. For instance, who to send to, how often, and with what level of risk. This strategic shift is the key to ensuring every campaign improves performance, not just adds volume.“The most sophisticated teams are already using AI to predict which subscribers are at risk of disengaging, to fine-tune send times and to protect sender reputation. That’s where we’re seeing a real uplift in performance, not just faster content production.”Key findings of the report include:60% of companies measuring email ROI report returns above $10 for every $1 spentMore than 1 in 10 achieve returns as high as 40:146% say AI improves speed and efficiency41% of teams use AI to generate email content23% say AI has not improved their email programs49% report improved email performance year-over-year79% plan to maintain or increase investment in emailFewer than half of organisations can confidently measure email ROIAbout the reportThe Email Impact Report 2026 combines:Data from 400+ billion emails sent in 2025Insights from 1,200+ email senders globallyBenchmarks across 10 high-volume industriesRead more about the report here.About SinchSinch’s vision is to connect every business with every customer, everywhere in the world.

賓夕法尼亞州費城, 2026年4月22日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc.（「Datavault AI」或「本公司」） （納斯達克代碼：DVLT），作為人工智慧驅動的數據變現、憑證認證、數位互動及實物資產（「RWA」）代幣化技術的領導者，今日宣布獲得美國專利第12,596,819號，並收到另外兩項美國專利申請的准予通知。此里程碑直接延續了本公司於2025年12月獲頒兩項關於區塊鏈驅動內容授權及代幣化變現的基礎專利，進一步擴展了其強大的智慧財產權組合，其中以定義業界標準的碳信用額度代幣化專利為首。投資者重點摘要一項新頒發的專利及兩份准予通知，將保護範圍延伸至三大高價值平台：AI驗證的數據估值與變現、代幣化虛擬地點融資，以及數位資產與去中心化金融（DeFi）的自動化報稅準備——直接解決1099-DA合規挑戰。透過量子抗性加密與區塊鏈不可篡改性，強化了公司的 Sumerian® 加密錨點、DataValue®、DataScore® 及 Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) 技術，為日益增長的代幣化合約與授權交易管道奠定基礎。此舉正值首個完整的 IRS 1099-DA 報稅季結束之際，期間據報出現諸多營運障礙——包括 Coinbase、Kraken 及 Gemini 的資料遲交問題——這充分顯示市場對 Datavault AI 自動化、代幣化稅務解決方案的明確需求。已實現的應用場景包括代幣化大宗商品（銅、黃金、貴金屬）、農業/基因組/醫療保健數據資產、NIL 數位孿生、資金支持的虛擬生物科技市場，以及智慧稅務自動化——這些功能皆能原生整合至該公司的邊緣 GPU 機隊與 HPC 基礎設施。此技術直接支持 Datavault AI 2026 年至少 2 億美元的營收目標，加速金融科技、醫療保健、生物科技、能源、農業、體育娛樂及 Web3 領域的商業化進程，並開拓新的授權與合作機會。最新專利保護範圍美國專利第 12,596,819 號 - 「數據估值與安全商業化變現平台的方法與系統」（已核准）：涵蓋端到端的許可制平台，包含自願參與的數據貢獻、AI驅動的自動化估值、在Datavault®中的區塊鏈代幣化儲存，以及透過開放式交易所進行交易並具備靈活的補償途徑（銷售、授權、獎勵、慈善捐贈）。美國專利申請號 17/842,220 - 「虛擬地點資金籌措系統與方法」（准予通知）：保護特定組織虛擬地點的資金籌措、驗證及代幣化運作，包括多幣種捐款、整合式活動與資產代幣化、與投資組合對應的廣告，以及針對資料貢獻者的補償機制。美國專利申請號 17/507,459 - 「報稅表製作平台與方法」（准予通知）：涵蓋針對客戶與員工的自動化報稅表製作，包含針對數位資產及 DeFi 活動的專用代幣化報稅處理、後端表單處理，以及對不斷演變稅法條文的動態調整——精準解決困擾首個 1099-DA 報稅季的對帳負擔與透明度缺口。市場背景與利多因素這些專利申請使 Datavault AI 處於三個快速擴張市場的交匯點。代幣化實體資產的鏈上價值已突破 300 億美元（RWA.xyz 2025 年數據），波士頓諮詢集團（BCG）與 ADDX 預測全球市場規模將於 2030 年前超過 16 兆美元。全球數據貨幣化市場預計將從 2024 年的 75.3 億美元成長至 2033 年的 188 億美元（年複合成長率 10.7%，SkyQuest Technology）。這項新的報稅專利問世之際，正值美國納稅人面臨國稅局（IRS）1099-DA表數位資產經紀商申報制度實施後的首個完整報稅季——其中總收入申報自2025年1月1日開始，特定交易的成本基礎申報則於2026年1月1日生效——而業界針對經紀商遲報以及跨錢包/鏈/DeFi對帳等問題的摩擦，早已廣為人知。對投資者的影響與戰略展望總體而言，已獲頒的專利及獲准的申請案，擴大了智慧財產權的涵蓋範圍，涵蓋將原始資料轉化為代幣化、可交易資產的創新技術，並能實現虛擬環境與數位資產組合的透明化資金籌措、變現及自動化稅務處理。預期這些技術將與 Datavault AI 計劃中的邊緣 GPU 機群及高效能運算基礎設施無縫整合，從而加速 AI 估值處理與代幣化合約的執行。「取得這項已核發專利，並收到另外兩項申請的准予通知，證實了我們在將無形數據轉化為可驗證、可變現資本方面的領導地位，以及在協助組織以完全透明且包含用戶補償的方式為虛擬世界提供資金與營運方面的優勢，」Datavault AI 創辦人暨執行長納撒尼爾·T·布拉德利（Nathaniel T. Bradley）表示。「這些專利申請深化了我們的競爭護城河，並加速了我們在數據資產、實體資產及數位資產稅務申報市場中搶佔重要市佔率的進程——這將直接推動我們達成 2026 年 2 億美元的營收目標，並擴展代幣化合約的業務管道。」若欲進一步了解 Datavault AI 的成長策略、商業化路線圖，以及透過代幣化與授權釋放數據及智慧財產權價值的長期願景，建議投資人觀看近期由 Tech Edge 主持、納斯達克（Nasdaq）對執行長納撒尼爾·布拉德利（Nathaniel Bradley）的專訪，該影片現已上線：https://vimeo.com/1176174810  關於 Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI™（納斯達克代碼：DVLT）是 Web 3.0 環境中以人工智慧驅動的數據體驗、資產估值及變現領域的先驅。該公司基於雲端的平台透過其聲學科學與數據科學兩個部門，提供全面的解決方案。Datavault AI 的聲學科學部門擁有 WiSA®、ADIO® 及 Sumerian® 等專利技術，專注於空間與多聲道無線高解析度聲音傳輸。數據科學部門則運用 Web 3.0 及高效能運算技術，為體育娛樂、生物科技、教育、金融科技、房地產、醫療保健、能源等各產業提供體驗式數據感知、估值及安全變現服務。Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) 是一項由納斯達克金融基礎設施（Nasdaq Financial Infrastructure）驅動的代幣交易技術。本公司擁有並營運多項交易所，包括國際元素交易所（IEE）、運動畫刊交易所（SIx）、紐約互動廣告交易所（NYIAX）及美國政治交易所（APE）。本公司總部位於賓夕法尼亞州費城。更多資訊請瀏覽 https://www.dvlt.ai 。前瞻性陳述：本新聞稿包含《1933年證券法》（經修訂）第27A條、《1934年證券交易法》（經修訂）第21E條，以及《1995年私人證券訴訟改革法》所定義之「前瞻性陳述」。本新聞稿中除歷史事實陳述以外的所有陳述，包括關於本公司未來營運、財務狀況、前景、計畫、目標、預期及意圖之陳述，均屬前瞻性陳述。諸如「預期」、「相信」、 「可能」、「估計」、「預期」、「意圖」、「或」、「計劃」、「潛在」、「預測」、「預估」、「應」、「目標」、「將」、「會」等詞彙及類似表述，旨在識別前瞻性陳述，儘管並非所有前瞻性陳述均包含此類識別詞彙。本新聞稿中的前瞻性陳述包括但不限於以下內容：(i) 美國專利申請號 17/842,220、美國專利申請號 17/507,459 及任何相關外國或延續申請的最終核發、範圍、有效性及可執行性； (ii) 本公司已獲專利及專利申請中技術的商業價值、市場採用情況及營收貢獻，包括 DataValue®、DataScore®、Information Data Exchange® (IDE®)、Sumerian® Crypto Anchors 以及 Datavault® 平台； (iii) 本公司能否達成 2026 年至少 2 億美元的營收目標；(iv) 本公司代幣化合約、授權協議及戰略合作夥伴關係的進展； (v) 實體資產代幣化、數據變現及數位資產稅務申報市場的規模、成長與時機；(vi) 本公司預期部署的邊緣 GPU 機隊與高效能運算基礎設施之整合與表現；以及 (vii) 因應美國國稅局 1099-DA 表格申報要求所衍生的自動化稅務申報解決方案需求。這些前瞻性陳述係基於管理層當前的預期與假設，並受重大風險、不確定性及其他因素影響，可能導致實際結果與所表達或暗示者存在重大差異。此類風險包括但不限於：美國專利商標局在重新審查時頒發的專利範圍較原核准範圍更窄，或駁回已核准的專利主張；本公司專利及專利申請中技術的商業化進程延遲或失敗；本公司吸引及留住客戶、被授權人及交易所合作夥伴的能力；來自現有及新興技術的競爭； 網路安全、區塊鏈協議及量子運算風險；影響數位資產申報的美國聯邦及州稅法變更，包括對 1099-DA 表格制度的修改；影響數位資產、證券、資料隱私及代幣化實體資產的監管發展； 本公司能否以可接受的條款籌集額外資金；宏觀經濟及資本市場狀況；以及本公司截至 2025 年 12 月 31 日止財政年度之 10-K 表年度報告、後續 10-Q 表季度報告、 以及向美國證券交易委員會（「SEC」）提交的其他文件中討論之「風險因素」章節所載之其他風險因素，該等文件的副本可於 SEC 網站 www.sec.gov 免費取得。除適用法律要求外，本公司無義務且明確聲明不承擔任何責任，無論基於新資訊、未來事件、情況變更或其他原因，均不對任何前瞻性陳述進行更新或修訂。投資者及證券持有人應注意，切勿過度依賴此等前瞻性陳述，該等陳述僅反映本新聞稿發布當日的狀況。本公司不保證將實現其預期目標。本新聞稿不構成出售任何證券之要約，亦不構成購買任何證券之要約邀請。任何關於潛在收購、處分、合資企業、戰略聯盟、授權交易或類似安排之前瞻性陳述，均須待最終協議之協商、簽署及完成，並須滿足慣常之交割條件；且無法保證任何此類交易將按預期條款、預期時間完成，或能否完成。產業與市場數據：本新聞稿包含產業、市場及競爭地位數據，包括統計數據、預測及推算，該等數據係基於或源自獨立產業出版物、第三方研究、調查及報告，其中包含歸因於 RWA.xyz、波士頓諮詢集團（Boston Consulting Group）、ADDX、SkyQuest Technology 及美國國稅局（U.S. Internal Revenue Service）之數據。本公司並未獨立核實任何此類第三方資訊的準確性或完整性，且不就其可靠性作出任何明示或暗示的陳述或保證。此類行業出版物及預測本質上受制於假設、方法論限制及不確定性，基於該等數據所作的推算、估計及判斷可能無法被證實為準確。實際市場規模、增長率以及本公司在這些市場中的地位，可能與本文所述數據存在重大差異。商標、商號、服務標誌及著作權：Datavault AI™、DataValue®、DataScore®、Information Data Exchange®、IDE®、Datavault®、WiSA®、ADIO® 及 Sumerian® 均為 Datavault AI Inc. 於美國及／或其他司法管轄區的商標、服務標誌或註冊商標。本新聞稿亦提及其他公司所擁有的商標、服務標誌、商號及著作權，包括 Coinbase、Kraken、Gemini 及 Nasdaq 所擁有的相關標識。僅為方便起見，本新聞稿中提及的某些商標、服務標誌、商號及著作權可能未標示 ™、®、© 或 SM 符號，但本公司將在適用法律允許的最大範圍內，主張其對自身商標、服務標誌、商號及著作權的權利。使用或展示其他方的商標、服務標誌、商號或著作權，並非意在亦不暗示本公司與任何該等第三方存在關係，或獲得其背書或贊助。媒體聯絡人：marketing@dvlt.ai 投資人聯絡：Edward Barger投資人關係副總裁ebarger@dvlt.ai | ir@dvlt.ai 消息來源：Datavault AI Inc Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Apr 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a leader in AI-driven data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, today announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,596,819 and Notices of Allowance on two additional U.S. patent applications. This milestone builds directly on the Company's December 2025 issuance of two foundational patents for blockchain-driven content licensing and tokenized monetization - further expanding its robust intellectual property portfolio headlined by the industry-defining Carbon Credit Tokenization Patent.Key Highlights for InvestorsOne newly issued patent and two Notices of Allowance extend protection across three high-value platforms: AI-validated data valuation & monetization, tokenized virtual location funding, and automated tax return preparation for digital assets and DeFi-directly addressing 1099-DA compliance challenges.Reinforces the Company's Sumerian® Crypto Anchors, DataValue®, DataScore®, and Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) technologies with quantum-resistant encryption and blockchain immutability, underpinning a growing pipeline of tokenization contracts and licensing deals.Arrives as the first full IRS Form 1099-DA filing season closes amid reported operational hurdles-including late deliveries by Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini-demonstrating clear demand for Datavault AI's automated, tokenized tax solutions.Enabled use cases include tokenized commodities (copper, gold, precious metals), agricultural/genomic/healthcare data assets, NIL digital twins, funded virtual biotech marketplaces, and intelligent tax automation-integrating natively with the Company's edge GPU fleet and HPC infrastructure.Directly supports Datavault AI's 2026 revenue target of at least $200 million, accelerates commercialization across fintech, healthcare, biotech, energy, agriculture, sports & entertainment, and Web3, and opens new licensing and partnership opportunities.Scope of the Latest ProtectionsU.S. Patent No. 12,596,819 - "Method and System for Data Valuation and Secure Commercial Monetization Platform" (issued): Covers an end-to-end permissioned platform spanning opt-in data contribution, AI-driven automated valuation, blockchain-tokenized storage in the Datavault®, and trading on open exchanges with flexible compensation pathways (sales, licenses, rewards, charitable contributions).U.S. Patent Application No. 17/842,220 - "System and Method for Funding a Virtual Location" (Notice of Allowance): Protects the funding, authentication, and tokenized operation of organization-specific virtual locations, including multi-currency donations, integrated event and asset tokenization, portfolio-aligned advertising, and compensation mechanisms for data contributors.U.S. Patent Application No. 17/507,459 - "Platform and Method for Preparing a Tax Return" (Notice of Allowance): Covers automated tax return preparation for clients and employees, with specialized tokenized return handling for digital asset and DeFi activity, back-end form processing, and dynamic adjustment to evolving tax codes-precisely targeting the reconciliation burdens and visibility gaps plaguing the inaugural 1099-DA season.Market Context & TailwindsThe filings position Datavault AI at the convergence of three rapidly expanding markets. Tokenized real-world assets have already surpassed $30 billion in on-chain value (RWA.xyz 2025 data), with Boston Consulting Group and ADDX projecting the global market to exceed $16 trillion by 2030. The global data monetization market is forecast to grow from $7.53 billion in 2024 to $18.8 billion by 2033 (10.7% CAGR, SkyQuest Technology). The new tax-preparation patent arrives precisely as U.S. taxpayers navigate the first full season under the IRS Form 1099-DA digital asset broker reporting regime-where gross proceeds reporting began January 1, 2025, and basis reporting for certain transactions took effect January 1, 2026-amid well-documented industry friction around late broker filings and cross-wallet/chain/DeFi reconciliation.Investor Implications & Strategic OutlookCollectively, the issued patents and allowed applications extend IP coverage around innovations that transform raw data into tokenized, tradable assets and enable transparent funding, monetization, and automated tax handling of virtual environments and digital asset portfolios. These technologies are expected to integrate seamlessly with Datavault AI's anticipated edge GPU fleet and high-performance computing infrastructure, accelerating AI valuation processing and tokenization contract execution."Securing this issued patent and receiving Notices of Allowance on two additional applications validates our leadership in turning intangible data into verifiable, monetizable capital, and in enabling organizations to fund and operate virtual worlds with full transparency and user compensation," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Datavault AI. "These filings deepen our competitive moat and accelerate our path to capturing meaningful share in the data asset, real-world asset, and digital asset tax-preparation markets-directly fueling our $200 million 2026 revenue target and expanding pipeline of tokenization contracts."For additional insight into Datavault AI's growth strategy, commercialization roadmap, and long-term vision for unlocking value from data and intellectual property through tokenization and licensing, investors are encouraged to view the recent Nasdaq interview with CEO Nathaniel Bradley, hosted by Tech Edge and now available at https://vimeo.com/1176174810About Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI™ (NASDAQ:DVLT) is a pioneer in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment.
