SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 26, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Sift, the ML-native fraud prevention platform serving more than 700 global brands, including Patreon, Turo, and Remitly, now offers the Sift Fraud Attack Defense Suite. The suite is a centralized system of three agents, one for each stage of an attack: Attack Detection Agent, Attack Investigation Agent, and Attack Response Agent.

The suite builds on AI that Sift customers already use. The Sift Score and Workflows decide on every event in real time, the Risk Activity Agent helps analysts investigate account takeover, and the Sift MCP Server (read-only) lets teams connect their own AI tools to Sift data. The Fraud Attack Defense Suite adds the layer that watches for the attack itself.

A fraud attack doesn’t send a warning. It looks like a batch of stolen cards tested with small charges, a wave of fake accounts overnight, or chargebacks that creep up over a weekend. Attack Detection Agent learns what normal looks like for each business, including time-of-day and day-of-week patterns, and alerts the team when traffic breaks from that baseline, so fraud teams are the first to know instead of the last. In its first month, it caught a multi-hour 20x transaction spike at a travel customer and a 13-hour card-testing surge at a retail customer.

Facts & Figures

• What it is: The Sift Fraud Attack Defense Suite, a centralized system of three agents: Attack Detection Agent, Attack Investigation Agent, and Attack Response Agent.
• What it does: Detects a fraud attack as it emerges, shows the accounts and transactions behind it, and pairs every alert with a playbook of next steps.
• Availability: Attack Detection Agent is generally available and included in the core Sift platform. All three stages are available at a foundational level today. Investigate opens the events behind an alert, and Respond provides playbooks and alert tracking. Automated response is planned.
• Control: Your team sets alert sensitivity, moves every alert through its lifecycle, and will choose which responses to automate as they become available.
• Heritage: Part of a platform that has applied machine learning to fraud since 2011, alongside the Sift Score, Workflows, the Risk Activity Agent, and the Sift MCP Server.
• Setup: Runs on the event data customers already send to Sift. No new install, no new fields, no integration work.
• Starter alerts: Five, live from day one: BIN transaction velocity, BIN user velocity, chargebacks, low-value transaction surges, and registration velocity.
• Early results: In its first month, Attack Detection Agent caught a multi-hour 20x transaction spike at a travel customer and a 13-hour card-testing surge at a retail customer.

Why attacks need a first responder

Coordinated fraud attacks are fast, organized, and expensive in analyst time. In Sift’s view, too many teams still meet them with dashboards checked by hand, exports to a business intelligence tool, or a colleague who happens to notice a number that looks off. By then, the attack is already underway.

How the Fraud Attack Defense Suite works

Detect. Attack Detection Agent monitors a business’s traffic continuously and alerts the team when key patterns change against the baselines and rules the team has set. Related detections group into one alert, so a coordinated attack doesn’t flood the queue. Teams can tune each alert’s sensitivity and preview how a setting would have performed against their own traffic. Alerts arrive in the Console, and critical alerts can also go to email.

Investigate. From any alert, one click opens the events behind it, including the accounts, transactions, and attributes that tie them together. Analysts start with a picture of the attack instead of a number that changed.

Respond. Every alert pairs with a playbook of investigation steps and recommended actions. A person moves each alert through a clear lifecycle, from open to acknowledged to resolved or marked a false positive. Every alert stays in a searchable history for audit and post-incident review. The team keeps the decision. Sift does the legwork of surfacing the evidence and the next steps.

Built on the Sift Global Data Network

The suite is built on the Sift Global Data Network, which is powered by more than 1 trillion annual events and signals from 34,000 sites and apps. It learns from activity across merchants and industries. The five starter alerts ship with defaults informed by industry benchmarks, so they are useful on day one. From there, Attack Detection Agent measures each business against its own history, because a threshold built from someone else’s traffic wouldn’t fit. The suite works alongside Sift’s decisioning engine, where the Sift Score and Workflows act on every event in less than 150 ms.

For teams that used to learn about attacks from a downstream number, catching one while it is still underway reduces what it costs. “Attacks need a first responder, not a police report. Your team should never be the last to know, so we built something to sound the alarm as soon as traffic breaks from normal,” said Raj Jain, Chief Product Officer at Sift.

Jain was equally direct about the technology. “Detection today runs on statistical methods, not generative AI, and we won’t dress it up as something else. What makes it an agent is that it does the work for you.”

Attack Detection Agent is generally available now and included in the core Sift platform. Attack Investigation Agent and Attack Response Agent are available at a foundational level today. Sift plans to add reasoning, recommendation, and automation to both, so analysts can start with an investigation already underway and choose to have responses put in place for the attack patterns they trust.

BAAR, Switzerland, October 26, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Done, a group of companies providing logistics, supply chain management, and financing solutions since 2011, has opened operations in Türkiye and named Filiz Ünal as CEO of Done Türkiye. The move makes Türkiye the group's fourth market alongside Switzerland, Poland, and Ukraine, extending a footprint that already serves more than 400 SME distributors across Eastern Europe and the Black Sea region.

A Market That Banks Aren't Fully Reaching

Türkiye imported about $365.4 billion of goods in 2025. From 2023–2025, 41.8% of Turkish SMEs reported being partially or fully credit-constrained, compared with between 9.5% and 25.2% in the Western Balkan economies covered by the OECD's SME Policy Index: Western Balkans and Türkiye 2026. The report also notes that Türkiye stands out among the economies it covers for SMEs' growing use of capital markets, amid robust growth in private equity and venture capital. Globally, the Asian Development Bank estimates the trade finance gap at $2.5 trillion in 2025, unchanged from 2023 and equivalent to about 10% of global trade, with 80% of banks surveyed expecting demand to keep rising as companies diversify supply chains.

"Despite having one of the region's most developed non-bank financial infrastructures, import-driven SME demand has outgrown what collateral-based lending can absorb. This is the setting Done was built for," saidDmitrii Rivkin, founder of Done, the group of companies, adding that the company works directly with the underlying trade transaction — buying goods from factories on behalf of SME importers — which gives lending partners visibility and risk control over deals that typically fall outside conventional lending criteria.

Leadership in Türkiye

Filiz Ünal will lead Done Türkiye’s operations. She has more than 30 years of experience in Türkiye’s factoring and financial services sector, including serving as Deputy Secretary General of the Association of Financial Institutions, as Secretary General of the Turkish Factoring Association, and as Executive Vice President at Garanti Factoring. At Done Türkiye, she developed the market-entry strategy and operating model and is responsible for partner relations and business development.

How the Model Works

Rather than lending against inventory, Done Switzerland buys goods directly from manufacturers in Europe and Asia on agreed-upon payment terms, stores them in licensed and insured partner-operated warehouses, and releases them to the client only after payment is received. Clients can take a full shipment and pay on arrival, or draw down inventory gradually — an approach Rivkin said reflects the reality that “demand is rarely linear, and inventory does not always move at a predictable pace.” Before placing an order, the company screens each supplier's legal standing, ownership and reputation through due-diligence platforms including AsiaVerify and World-Check from the London Stock Exchange Group, and keeps a time-stamped record of every item in storage that can serve as an independent, auditable trail should a dispute with a supplier reach a court.

A Group Built on Trade, Not Lending

With 15 years of operating experience in logistics, Done, according to company data, completed more than 4,000 transactions in 2025 with 1,808 supplier factories for 417 clients, with an average deal size of $50,000, and posted $315 million in annual turnover. The company says it has recorded no non-payments since it began operating. Done employed more than 250 people across its offices in 2025. Türkiye is the latest addition to a group that already operates in Switzerland, Poland, and Ukraine; the company says it is scoping three further market entries over the next year as it builds out its presence across Eastern Europe and the Black Sea region.

About Done

Done is a global group of companies that has provided logistics, supply chain management, and financing solutions since 2011 and is headquartered in Switzerland. Done offers services to more than 400 SME distributors with operations in Eastern Europe and the Black Sea area (Switzerland, Poland, Türkiye, Ukraine). The founder of the group is Dmitrii Rivkin. Its Turkish business is led by CEO Filiz Ünal, with Anton Skorobogatov, a member of the board of Done Türkiye. The group has run more than 4,000 trade transactions in 2025 with 1,808 suppliers for 417 clients and manufacturers across the globe. For more information, visit done.swiss.

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia, October 26, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Jeddah, Saudi Arabia’s historic gateway to the Red Sea, is preparing to host the inaugural Red Sea Yacht Show from Oct. 14–17, 2027, at Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina. The event represents a significant step in positioning the city on the global map of luxury yachting and marine tourism, while bringing leading international brands, yacht owners, investors, and industry specialists to one of the world’s most distinctive emerging destinations.

The project’s international journey began in Monaco in Sept. 2026, where Tahaluf and Sela signed an agreement to develop and deliver the new show. The signing was attended by His Royal Highness Prince Saud bin Mishal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Deputy Governor of the Makkah Region, who will serve as Chairman of the Red Sea Yacht Show Host Committee.

Under the partnership, Tahaluf and Sela are drawing on international expertise associated with the Monaco Yacht Show while creating a distinctly Saudi experience shaped by Jeddah’s character, hospitality, and maritime heritage. The collaboration is designed to connect the global yachting industry with Saudi businesses and introduce international owners and visitors to the expanding network of marine and tourism destinations across the Red Sea.

Mike Champion, Chief Executive Officer of Tahaluf, said: “The ambition extends far beyond organising a traditional yacht exhibition. The Red Sea Yacht Show is being developed as an international platform connecting the global yachting community with Saudi Arabia’s growing luxury tourism and marine services sectors, opening opportunities for local companies and strengthening the potential for long-term commercial and investment partnerships."

Champion added: “The choice of Jeddah reflects the city’s strategic position on the Red Sea, its established role as an international gateway, and the strength of its marine, tourism, and hospitality offering. Together with continuing investment in infrastructure and destinations across the Red Sea region, these advantages position Jeddah to attract yacht owners, industry leaders, and international visitors."

For Tahaluf, the opportunity also lies in building a sustainable economic ecosystem around the show. Mohaned Mahjoub, Vice President of Tahaluf, said: "The event will connect international companies operating across the yacht sector with Saudi businesses, supporting cooperation, knowledge transfer and investment in maintenance, fuelling, logistics and other specialised marine services."

“The real opportunity lies in building an integrated ecosystem around the yachts themselves by connecting international operators with local companies working in maintenance, fuelling, logistics and other services. This will enable Saudi companies to participate in a market with significant long-term growth potential," said Mahjoub.

That integrated approach will take the Red Sea Yacht Show beyond the concept of a temporary event. By bringing together yacht owners, builders, brokers, operators, luxury brands, and Saudi companies, the show aims to encourage lasting commercial partnerships and expand the participation of local businesses in the value chains supporting the global marine industry.

The visitor experience is also intended to extend beyond the yachts themselves. Subject to final participation agreements, the show will bring together luxury automobiles, collectible art, fine jewellery, haute couture, and private aviation, creating a carefully curated platform at the intersection of business, tourism, and luxury lifestyle.

Jeddah’s appeal as the host city extends well beyond its marina. The Red Sea’s coral reefs, diving sites, natural landscapes, and maritime heritage offer yacht owners and international visitors experiences beyond a conventional marina stay. This combination of a connected city, a distinctive marine environment, and Saudi hospitality provides the show with an identity rooted in its destination.

Existing infrastructure is supporting that ambition. Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina offers more than 95 berths, while new marina developments along Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea are adding capacity for large yachts. Alongside the growth of tourism destinations, hospitality facilities, and specialised services, these developments are strengthening the region’s appeal as part of international cruising itineraries.

Mahjoub said: “The timing of the show reflects the progress being made across Jeddah and the wider Red Sea region. Infrastructure and tourism projects are creating opportunities that were not available to the same extent only a few years ago, providing a foundation for stronger links between Saudi Arabia and the global yacht industry."

The economic opportunity is expected to extend across tourism, hospitality, transport, marine services, and luxury retail as partnerships develop and international brands and participants prepare for the inaugural edition. Tahaluf’s ambition is to establish a sustainable annual platform that attracts visitors and companies, supports the growth of luxury marine tourism and creates enduring commercial opportunities for Saudi businesses.

Mahjoub stressed: “The show’s success will not be measured solely by attendance during the event. Its longer-term value will be determined by the partnerships it establishes, the opportunities it creates for local companies, and its ability to encourage more international yacht owners to discover Jeddah and the Red Sea as a distinctive global destination."

With its inaugural edition scheduled for Oct. 2027, the Red Sea Yacht Show is now entering a critical development phase. The period ahead will allow the organisers to finalise partnerships, confirm participating brands, and create an experience that reflects Jeddah’s international ambitions and the rapid transformation of Saudi Arabia’s tourism and marine sectors.

ISTANBUL, Türkiye, October 26, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- ASMED Surgical Medical Center announced that its founder and medical director, Dr. Koray Erdoğan, will speak at the 10th World FUE Institute Workshop, scheduled for April 21–24, 2027, in Lima, Peru.

The four-day event will bring together hair-restoration professionals for scientific exchange and hands-on learning, according to the organizer's announcement. It will be the institute's tenth workshop edition.

The World FUE Institute (WFI) is an international organization focused on education and knowledge exchange in follicular unit extraction, or FUE. Its activities include research, practical workshops, and educational programs, bringing physicians together to share experience in hair-restoration surgery.

Erdoğan founded ASMED in 2001 and has performed follicular unit extraction, or FUE, since 2004. His professional profile at the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons records that he co-founded the World FUE Institute in 2016, initially serving as vice president and later as president. He remains listed among the institute's founding members.

The workshop series began in Tenerife, Spain, in November 2016. Subsequent editions have included Istanbul in 2022 and São Paulo, Brazil, in 2025, followed by Limassol, Cyprus, in 2026. The Lima event will continue the series in South America.

Erdoğan attended the ninth workshop in Limassol on May 13–16, 2026. The institute's official photo archive documents that meeting, with galleries from the four workshop days. His speaking engagement in Lima will continue his participation in the institute's international events.

At ASMED in Istanbul, Erdoğan's approach to natural-looking hair transplant results considers hairline design, donor supply, and possible future hair loss together before treatment.

For patients comparing hair transplant clinics and surgeons in Türkiye, ASMED's hair transplant approach explains how individual hair characteristics inform a proposed graft count and coverage plan. It also describes Erdoğan's personal role in consultation, surgical planning, and recipient-site creation.

NEW YORK, NY, October 26, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, female-owned and led agency YARD NYC is hijacking one of the internet’s most familiar requests, "Send Nudes," asking women to take topless selfies — for themselves. The purpose? To track visual changes in the breasts, which can be an early indicator of breast cancer. YARD NYC is on a mission to empower a new generation of women with awareness and resources at a time when breast cancer is more commonly affecting women under the age of 50.

Based on research published in the World Journal of Clinical Oncology showing that 62.6% of women are not confident they would notice a change in their breasts, the grassroots campaign is asking women to "Send Nudes" to themselves every six months as a reference for any visual changes and hopefully early detection. 

"We know every line on our face, every gray hair on our heads, every squish on our bellies," said Ruth Bernstein, CEO of YARD NYC. "Culturally, we're obsessed with all these other bodily changes, but we don't even notice our own tits. So what if we turned the familiar language of sending nudes into a reminder to know your own boobs?"

American Cancer Society research shows that breast cancer rates are rising twice as fast among women under 50 than women aged 50 and older, and research from the American Public Health Association found that 80%–85% of women diagnosed have no family history of breast cancer. Furthermore, women in their 30s tend to think of breast cancer as an "older" woman's problem. But as breast cancer rates rise, YARD NYC is calling on women to save some topless pics, and pay closer attention.

"Breast cancer awareness has a long history of telling women what to worry about. We wanted to give them something to actually do. And to reach a younger generation in a language that feels relevant to them, not like another health warning," said Caroline Seklir, Head of Strategy at YARD NYC. "The idea is that we're normalizing this for a new generation of women that are coming of age in a selfie-driven world, and giving them the power of awareness on their own terms — long before they're of age for a mammogram."

The eye-catching campaign centers on wild postings throughout NYC, which plasters "SEND NUDES" and a QR code on busy intersections like North 7th and Bedford in Williamsburg and near Dimes Square in the Lower East Side. The QR code leads to a campaign landing page at sendnudestoyourself.com that reveals the real recipient of the nudes: yourself, and links to breast health resources for visible signs and symptoms such as unexplained change in size or shape, dimpling anywhere on the breast, and discharge from the nipple, among other signs.

"Send Nudes" is live now through the end of October. In addition to OOH and a dedicated website, YARD NYC is taking to social media to drive online support and is launching limited-edition stickers and merch that mimic dating culture's "You Up?", "Pic?", and more as prompts for women to Send Nudes.

NEW YORK, NY, October 26, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Lucra, the leading social competition platform, today announced a partnership with Devilfish, the skill-based competition platform where every player faces the same challenge, highest score wins. Through Lucra’s plug-and-play SDK, Devilfish will add real-money peer-vs-peer matches and real-money tournaments to the mini-games already live on its platform. Devilfish’s community of more than 30,000 customers will be able to compete for cash prizes across the United States.

CRWN, the mobile games studio Lucra invested in earlier this year, builds the 90-second, skill-based mini-games in Devilfish’s free-to-play library. With Lucra’s SDK, those same games will support real-money play, and Lucra handles the identity verification, payments, compliance, fraud prevention, and settlement behind it.

Devilfish has built its platform around identity and progression. Players build custom avatars from more than 100 backgrounds, outfits, and traits, then take them into skill competitions. Their avatars appear on the platform’s live plays feed and leaderboards. Players can also join clubs, and Devilfish’s Discord community has grown past 11,000 members.

The Lucra integration introduces two real-money formats on top of that foundation. In peer-vs-peer play, two players go head-to-head on the same CRWN game, and the higher score takes the prize. In tournaments, players enter a shared field, climb a live leaderboard, and compete for a prize pool paid out to the top finishers. Free-to-play competition remains open to every Devilfish player.

“Devilfish did the hard part. They brought CRWN’s games to a community that shows up to compete and cares about where they rank,” said Dylan Robbins, Founder and CEO of Lucra. “Adding real-money play is a short path when the games are running on the platform. Players get to put something behind the scores they’re chasing, and Devilfish gets a monetization layer built for the games its community loves. That’s the advantage of building the content and the competition infrastructure together.”

“We built Devilfish around a simple idea: everyone plays the same challenge, and the highest score wins,” said JJ Williams, Founder and CEO of Devilfish. “Our players already love the skill-based games and push each other up the leaderboards every day. Lucra lets us put real-money infrastructure behind that competition, head-to-head or in tournaments, without changing the games our community already plays. We get to stay focused on the player experience, from the avatars they build to the clubs they compete with, while Lucra handles everything behind the scenes.”

The partnership extends Lucra’s mini-games momentum across digital platforms and shows how partners running CRWN titles can move from free-to-play to real-money competition. Real-money peer-vs-peer matches and tournaments will be available on Devilfish in the U.S. where permitted by law this winter, with a mobile app under development.

About Lucra

Lucra powers competitive loyalty through a plug-and-play SDK, which integrates into apps or websites and enables tournaments, mini-games, and peer-vs-peer competitions, with real-money or rewards. It handles compliance, payments, fraud prevention, and settlement out of the box, so partners can instantly offer gamified experiences without building or managing complex infrastructure themselves. Top entertainment, hospitality, and consumer brands, including Five Iron Golf, Backyard Sports, ChessKings, TouchTunes, and more, use Lucra's white-label technology to power tournaments and challenges, build loyalty, and drive new revenue. Learn more at playlucra.com.

About Devilfish

Devilfish is a skill-based competition platform where every player faces the same challenge, and the highest score wins. Players build custom avatars from more than 100 items, join clubs, and compete on live leaderboards. Devilfish’s community includes more than 30,000 customers and over 11,000 Discord members. Learn more at www.devilfish.com.

Disclaimer

Real-money matches, tournaments, and cash prize competitions powered by Lucra are available only to eligible participants who are at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction) and residing in U.S. states where skill-based cash contests are permitted by law. Void where prohibited or restricted by law. Lucra handles identity verification, age gating, geolocation compliance, and payment processing to ensure adherence to applicable state and federal regulations.

WUHU, China, October 24, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Chery is embracing artificial intelligence to fundamentally transform its business. As outlined in its long-term vision: "By 2035, Chery will evolve from a traditional automaker into a high-tech extensive ecosystem cluster, and we hope this transformation will, in turn, help change the world."

On Oct. 23, at the theme conference of the 2026 Chery International User Summit, Chery set out the implementation path for its Globalisation 3.0 phase to more than 2,000 users and partners from around the world. The strategy centers on restructuring its organisation, moving its focus forward, and integrating into local markets. Supported by verifiable green and intelligent technologies and a full-lifecycle model of user co-creation, Chery aims to become an integral part of local communities and deliver future living experiences tailored to the diverse needs of global markets.

From Global Product Presence to Deep Global Integration: Chery Strengthens Its Roots in Local Markets

AI is driving Chery into the era of Globalisation 3.0, marking not only a technology-driven business transformation but also a fundamental shift in its global organisational structure and development philosophy. Guided by the principle of looking at the world from China and looking at China from host countries, Chery seeks to better understand and serve diverse markets by embracing local customs, cultures, lifestyles, and practical needs. As Chery advocates, "In somewhere, for somewhere, be somewhere." Globalisation 3.0 is not only about selling products worldwide, but about taking root in and integrating into local markets.

Building on its product and service network spanning more than 130 countries and regions, Chery continues to advance local R&D, manufacturing, and procurement, actively participating in local economic development by creating jobs and contributing tax revenue. From bringing products into markets to integrating its organisation deeply into local markets, Chery hopes to become a corporate citizen and brand respected by local society, building long-term mutual trust with local users, partners, and communities and sharing the fruits of development.

Building the Greener Future with Global Partners

As global climate change and advances in digital technology continue to reshape the industrial landscape, Chery is integrating the philosophy of sustainable development into its global business footprint. During the summit, Chery showcased its sustainability practices and explorations while further encouraging global ecosystem partners to take part in sustainability action. Representatives of partners from Spain, the United Kingdom, Türkiye, South Africa, Indonesia, Mexico, Canada, and other countries and regions jointly launched the "One Nature, One Future" initiative, calling on others to join Chery in focusing on five nature conservation themes — people, land, water, oceans, and climate — and turning shared commitments to nature into concrete action.

Turning Sustainability Commitments into Action with UNICEF and IUCN

In addition, during the summit, Ariela Ann McDonald, regional communications lead for Asia at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), shared the story of the global "Cherish the Nature" partnership between IUCN and Chery since 2024. Silvia Danailov, United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) representative in Vietnam, shared progress on the children's education programmes that UNICEF has carried out with the support of Chery Group in multiple countries, including Vietnam. UNICEF does not endorse any company, brand, product, or service.

With nature conservation and empowerment through education as the respective focal points of these partnerships, Chery is actively addressing long-term environmental protection and community development needs while serving users worldwide.

Expanding Global User Co-Creation Through Open Ecosystem Collaboration

Chery has long been committed to respecting its users and has won their trust. Chery currently has more than 20 million users worldwide and is extending users' role from people who experience its products to ecosystem co-creation partners. For key opinion leaders (KOLs), key opinion consumers (KOCs), and a wide range of ecosystem partners, Chery is actively exploring new models for opening up ecosystem resources and business collaboration, turning high-tech innovations into practical products that meet user needs. This approach enables more partners to participate in improving product experiences, content communication, and ecosystem value creation. By opening up channels for collaboration, Chery hopes to ensure that technological innovation not only drives product upgrades but also creates new business development opportunities for its partners.

In 2027, Chery will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Standing at this new stage of development, Chery looks forward to working with global partners to embrace the opportunities presented by AI, explore new possibilities for collaboration through innovative thinking, combine technological development with user needs, create new growth opportunities through ecosystem collaboration, and enable technology to better serve people's future lives.

IVGID, NV, October 23, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Coco Coders, the education technology company that has taught coding to more than 25,000 children and counting, is announcing the launch of AI Adventurers, a six-week standalone course taught live online in small groups that carries its coding curriculum into AI literacy. Enrollment is currently open through the Coco Coders enrollment page.

Children now encounter AI in their homework apps, search results, games, and voice assistants often long before they develop the wherewithal to understand how those systems generate answers or why those answers can be wrong. A 2025 study by Google and Livity found that 88% of teens ages 13 to 15 already use AI tools for learning and creative tasks at least a couple of times a week, and 63% of respondents to the European Commission's 2025 Flash Eurobarometer survey agreed that everyone will need to be AI literate by 2030, according to the AI Literacy Framework developed by the European Commission and the OECD. 

Coco Coders was created around the idea that coding is the foundation of AI literacy, and by learning how to code, children are better prepared to enter a society and work with AI tools responsibly and intelligently. The AI Adventurers class focuses on demystifying how AI systems work: how the models learn, why they can sound confident while being mistaken, and how to push back on what they produce.

Elizabeth Tweedale, founder and CEO of Coco Coders, describes the course as "the next evolutionary step" for a company she calls "a domain expert in teaching kids how to code." She explains that the team's experience teaching children to code is foundational to understanding AI, and that the course gives kids the grounding to interact with the AI tools all around them, including knowing what to trust, what not to trust, and how to question those tools and eventually build their own. 

"Our aim is for students to leave with the skills to use AI tools safely, confidently and effectively, as we believe this is a core skill they'll need for the future of school, work, and life," said Tweedale. 

Across six weekly one-hour sessions that are highly interactive and project-based, students use a kid-safe chatbot to create stories and comics, train their own classification model using machine learning, and build a portfolio showcasing both what they made and the core AI literacy concepts they have learned along the way. The course covers what AI is and how it works in general terms, how to use it safely and effectively, and how to evaluate and improve its outputs through prompting. Each week, students guide their work with a four-step mantra that shares the company's name:

• C: Choose your goal (Decide what you are trying to make, solve, or discover).
• O: Observe the output (Check what the AI produced, whether it followed instructions, and what seems surprising, useful, or wrong).
• C: Challenge the output (Ask whether it is true, fair, safe, and appropriate to use or share, and whether any information is private).
• O: Own the work (Make the final decisions, adding your own thinking, changing what you do not like, and being honest about where AI helped).

RALEIGH, NC, October 23, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- BrandBossHQ founder and CEO Bill Harper has been named No. 12 on Favikon’s "Top 20 Branding Experts in the United States (2026)," placing ahead of David Aaker — the academic widely regarded as the father of modern branding. The recognition comes as McKinsey’s "State of Marketing 2026," a survey of 500 senior marketers, ranks brand investment as the number one priority out of 20 measured areas, marking a broad industry correction away from performance-heavy strategies toward long-term brand fundamentals.

Harper has spent more than a decade arguing that most businesses are solving the wrong problem. His Raleigh-based consultancy, BrandBossHQ, leads every client engagement with customer research and brand strategy before any creative or tactical work begins. But it was not a whitepaper or a conference keynote that first put his thinking in front of a national audience. It was a story about a tow truck.

The premise is simple. A driver is stranded on the side of the road, running late, stressed, and dependent on a stranger for help. Two tow truck drivers respond. The first says: “We have more than 25 years of experience, extensive training, and proprietary equipment.” The second says: “Our motto is to get you back on the road in 15 minutes or less. We know you have things to do.”

Same truck. Same expertise. A completely different experience.

Harper developed the parable as a teaching device for client presentations, most notably a session with the leadership team at BlueCross NC, where a room full of senior executives went quiet as they recognized they had been communicating from entirely the wrong side of the transaction. When he later posted the story on TikTok under @brandbosshq, it drew more than 21,000 likes, prompted requests for translated versions from viewers as far as Germany, and was picked up by marketers and business educators across the United States as one of the clearest single explanations of the difference between advertising and branding available.

“Nobody cares if you have the best product,” Harper said. “The story behind your product will always be what sells it more than what it actually is. Most businesses describe what they do in the language that makes sense inside their own building — and their customer is standing on the side of the road, not listening.”

The tow truck story is not just a piece of content. It is the clearest expression of the principle that underpins everything BrandBossHQ does: that the gap between how a brand sees itself and how a customer actually experiences their own problem is where most marketing fails and where the right story wins.

BrandBossHQ’s flagship Brand Story Development engagement runs for three months and delivers customer research, a defined target audience profile, brand language, and two full creative campaign options. Research and strategy precede every creative decision a sequence that Harper describes as non-negotiable.

“Most businesses don’t have a marketing problem,” Harper said. “They have a positioning problem. They skip research, skip strategy, and go straight to tactics and then wonder why they’re spending more every quarter for the same result.”

Harper’s Favikon ranking and the broader market data both point to the same conclusion. WARC’s "Multiplier Playbook" (May 2026) found that while 67% of marketers say their CEO considers brand important, only 19% of C-suites can routinely connect brand equity to measurable business outcomes. The stranded motorist in Harper’s parable already understood what the data is now confirming: credentials do not close the distance between a brand and its customer. The right story does.

BrandBossHQ is currently accepting new client engagements for Q1 2027.

SHENZHEN, China, October 23, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- At the recent RISC-V Summit China 2026, SpacemiT introduced the V100, a 46-core RISC‑V server CPU designed for general-purpose data center computing, AI agent infrastructure, and AI acceleration. Announced at RISC‑V Summit China 2026, the processor launches alongside three server platforms for compute, AI, and storage workloads.

Speaking at the summit, RISC‑V International CEO Andrea Gallo highlighted the architecture’s growing role in AI computing and data centers. “RISC‑V supports AI training and inference in data centers,” he said. “RISC‑V is the architecture for intelligent computing.”

According to SpacemiT, V100 is the industry’s first general-purpose processor to fully comply with the RISC‑V server specifications, with native support for mainstream server operating systems and virtualization stacks. Its implementation covers the RVA23 Profile, the RISC‑V Server SoC and Server Platform specifications, Boot and Runtime Services (BRS), and the RISC‑V Security Model. The company says V100 has passed all BRS compliance tests and allows users to install, boot, and run mainstream Linux distributions directly on V100 systems.

“V100 is an important step for SpacemiT as we expand from devices to the cloud,” said Zhijian Chen, the company’s founder and CEO. “It also reflects RISC‑V’s progress toward real-world data center deployments at scale.”

Server hardware and system options

Introduced jointly by SpacemiT and the XiangShan team, V100 combines six XiangShan Kunminghu V2R2 cores with 40 of SpacemiT’s own X100 cores. The heterogeneous 46-core design supports clock speeds of up to 2.4 GHz, while a cache-coherent interconnect enables dual-socket configurations with up to 92 cores.

Each processor supports eight DDR5 memory channels and 52 PCIe 5.0 lanes for connecting AI accelerators, high-speed network adapters, and storage devices.

V100 provides hardware-assisted CPU, interrupt, and I/O virtualization. SpacemiT says the platform works with upstream Linux KVM without requiring a custom kernel. The chip also includes a hardware root of trust and server-class reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features.

The accompanying systems are the C2201 computing server, G5201 intelligent computing server, and S5236 storage server, targeting general-purpose computing, AI acceleration, and large-scale data storage, respectively.

The G5201 accommodates eight full-height, full-length, double-width accelerator cards. SpacemiT says it has validated the system with accelerators from Kunlunxin and other vendors. The server also supports RDMA (remote direct memory access) networking for high-speed clusters.

SpacemiT is supplying server motherboard reference designs, firmware, baseboard management controller (BMC) support, and hardware design documentation to help system builders develop servers under their own brands.

Software support and global developer access

SpacemiT says Ubuntu 26.10 officially supports V100. Its work on processor support and toolchain optimization has also been merged into upstream open-source projects, including the Linux kernel and LLVM.

The company is working with Canonical, the RISE Project, and Scaleway to give open-source developers access to RVA23-compatible hardware, contributing K3 compute clusters to shared development infrastructure.

SpacemiT also sponsored DebConf26 in Argentina, supported Debian community testing on the K3 platform, and co-organized the Physical AI Hackathon in Hong Kong for developers worldwide.

Partners including DeepComputing and Banana Pi are bringing K3-based products to international markets. These include mainboards for Framework modular laptops, development boards and compute modules. SpacemiT says international customers have placed orders for both K3 chips and K3-based cluster servers.

In 2026, the company has participated in Open Source Summit and Embedded Linux Conference North America; Ubuntu Summit in London; RISC‑V Summit Europe in Italy; and Linux Plumbers Conference and Open Source Summit Europe in Prague. Its presentations and demonstrations have covered high-performance RISC‑V computing, operating system support, on-device AI and upstream open-source development.

At the AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, SpacemiT’s Emotional Companion Robot was featured in the Innovate for Impact collection of case studies. The company also demonstrated K3-based on-device AI applications at the Global Innovation Show (GIS) in Hong Kong.

With K1, K3 and now V100, SpacemiT is extending its product family across devices, edge systems and data centers. Its longer-term strategy brings together processor design, system software, complete systems and international partnerships to build a business around open-architecture computing.

JINGDEZHEN, China, October 23, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- China News Service (CNS) has released a new report highlighting how Jingdezhen, China’s historic "porcelain capital," is leveraging its millennia-old heritage to power a modern, high-tech industrial cluster and foster a global community of international creators.

The announcement comes following the 2026 Jingdezhen Forum, which opened on Oct. 18, and the concurrent 2026 China Jingdezhen International Ceramic Expo. The events mark the city's first major international gathering since the "Jingdezhen Handicraft Porcelain Industry Sites" were officially inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in July 2026 as China’s 61st World Heritage property.

Global Cultural Exchange and Creative Ecosystem

The 2026 Expo convened more than 2,500 guests from over 90 countries and regions, featuring 450 domestic and international companies, 40 international brands, and direct trade matchmaking between nearly 100 overseas buyers and 150 domestic suppliers.

"I cannot think of a more creative city than Jingdezhen," said Tim Winter, Professor at the Asia Research Institute of the National University of Singapore, noting that the city has successfully fused tradition, innovation, and porcelain-making into a continuous development narrative.

Wang Guangyao, Senior Researcher at the Palace Museum and Executive Director of the Chinese Archaeological Society, emphasized during the forum that Chinese ceramics historically served as a two-way cultural bridge — absorbing raw materials and decorative techniques from abroad while exporting production methods worldwide.

Today, that tradition manifests in a thriving community of over 60,000 migrant artisans ("jingpiao"), including an estimated peak of 5,000 international creators ("yang jingpiao"). Institutions such as the Sanbao International Ceramic Village have hosted more than 20,000 international artists and practitioners over the past two decades.

Key creative highlights from the 2026 Expo included:

• Cross-Cultural Collaborations: International exhibitors, such as Iranian artisan Abed Hashemi, introduced fusion concepts pairing Iranian handcrafted "Mina" enamel ware with Chinese porcelain techniques.
• Next-Gen Design & Tech Integration: Contemporary designers demonstrated plush-toy elements integrated with traditional blue-and-white porcelain, supported by artificial intelligence tools.
• AI & 3D Ceramic Printing: Advanced equipment manufacturers showcased prompt-to-model AI workflows that generate ceramic blanks for traditional kiln firing directly from text or image uploads.

Historic Milestone: Over 100 Billion Yuan Industrial Output

Alongside its cultural expansion, Jingdezhen has undergone a major industrial shift toward advanced ceramics. In 2025, the city's ceramic industry achieved a total output exceeding 102.7 billion yuan (approximately $14.4 billion), becoming China's first single ceramic industrial cluster to cross the 100-billion-yuan threshold.

Advanced ceramics — utilizing synthetic oxide, nitride, and carbide powders for high-precision applications in electronics, equipment manufacturing, new energy, and biomedicine — now account for 34 percent of the city's total output, up from under 10 percent five years ago.

The city’s advanced ceramic enterprise ecosystem has expanded from 86 to 208 active companies, with key high-tech materials like high-purity nano alumina and zirconia ceramic substrates meeting top domestic standards.

KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait, October 23, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Development Holding Company (DH), a Kuwait-based diversified investment group and public holding company focused on building and scaling high-potential businesses, has entered into a binding agreement to acquire a majority 70% shareholding in A23 Football Group Limited, the ownership company of Slough Town Football Club, marking a significant step in DH’s international expansion and its growing interest in the global sports sector.

The partnership brings together DH’s investment and commercial expertise with the ambitions of Slough Town FC, one of English non-league football’s historic community clubs, as it looks to strengthen its sporting foundations, expand its community reach, and build for long-term sustainable growth.

The acquisition will take place through a phased transaction over three years, with DH's shareholding increasing progressively to 70%. The transaction has received all applicable regulatory and football authority approvals.

Founded in 1890 and widely known as "The Rebels," Slough Town has a long history in English football. The club has competed at the highest level of the non-league game, enjoyed memorable FA Cup campaigns and appeared at Wembley Stadium in the 1973 FA Amateur Cup Final.

Under its current leadership, the club has been pursuing a strategy centred on four key pillars — sustainability, talent, fan experience, and community — including strengthening its academy and player development pathways and expanding women’s, youth, and community football.

“Football has always been a personal passion of mine, and I strongly believe in the extraordinary potential of the global sports industry,” said Talal Al Ajmi, founder and Chairman of Development Holding Company.

“As DH continues to diversify its portfolio and expand its international presence, we see Slough Town Football Club as a highly compelling opportunity. It is a historic club with a loyal supporter base, a strong community identity and an ambitious vision for the future, located in a dynamic UK town with considerable economic and social potential.”

Al Ajmi said DH’s approach would focus on responsible, long-term development while preserving the identity and heritage of the club.

“We have great confidence in the team’s capabilities and in the direction established by the club’s leadership. Any future involvement from DH would be guided by a long-term commitment to responsible growth, with the club’s heritage, supporters, and community remaining at the heart of its journey.”

Ashley Smith, CEO of Slough Town FC, said the club had made significant progress since the group took over in 2023, including improvements to its sporting venue, community presence, and academy structure.

HOUSTON, TX, October 22, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Houston-based personal injury law firm Zehl & Associates announced today that it has surpassed 5,000 clients, representing workers, individuals, and families across the United States and recovering billions of dollars for accident victims. Since its founding in 2002, the firm has remained undefeated in the courtroom while securing many of the largest verdicts and settlements in Texas and U.S. history.

Its disciplined approach has also earned national recognition, with Zehl & Associates repeatedly honored among the nation's leading personal injury law firms and founder and trial lawyer Ryan Zehl consistently recognized by his peers as one of the country's top trial lawyers.

"People call us on the worst day of their lives," said Zehl. "They're grieving, they're frightened about how they'll pay the bills, and companies or insurance adjusters are often pressuring them before they’ve had the chance to understand their rights or speak with a lawyer."

Few people ever imagine walking into a trial lawyer's office. Yet behind every case is a larger question about responsibility, accountability, and whether preventable harm will lead to meaningful change. That's the question Zehl set out to answer when he founded Zehl & Associates in 2002. He believes injured families deserve the same level of preparation, resources, and advocacy as the corporations and insurance companies on the other side of the courtroom.

"I wanted to build a firm that could go toe to toe with the largest corporations in the world and never be outspent, outworked, or outlasted," said Zehl. "I wanted to build the counterweight."

It's why Zehl & Associates carefully selects cases involving preventable negligence. When staffing cases, the firm invests in the experts and science that will allow clients to receive the answers and justice they deserve.

"Cases are won in the documents, the depositions, and the science," Zehl explained. "By the time we walk into trial, the outcome has usually already been earned."

Consequential Behavior

For Zehl, another purpose of civil litigation is to ensure preventable harm does not end with a single verdict. In many cases, he believes the civil justice system is one of the few mechanisms capable of requiring powerful companies and organizations to answer publicly for the decisions they make. Accountability, he believes, should encourage safer practices, better decisions, and a greater commitment to protecting others.

As Zehl put it, "When companies know they'll be held responsible for cutting corners, they're far more likely to invest in doing things the right way."

For all the complexity of high-stakes litigation, Zehl never loses sight of the families who turn to his firm for straightforward answers, honest guidance, and an advocate willing to shoulder the legal burden while they focus on healing. For him, the true measure of every case extends well beyond the verdict to what it allows a family to rebuild in the years that follow.

"Ordinary people are far stronger than they get credit for," Zehl concluded. "I've watched clients lose a spouse, a child, their health, and livelihood — and still find a way to rebuild. They don’t want pity, charity, or a windfall. They want the truth and justice they need and deserve to move forward with their lives."

About Zehl & Associates

Founded in 2002, Zehl & Associates is an undefeated personal injury law firm with offices in Houston, Midland, Dallas, and San Antonio that has earned a reputation for recovering record-breaking verdicts and settlements for its clients. The firm's practice areas include truck and 18-wheeler accidents, oilfield, maritime and refinery accidents, and catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases. Zehl & Associates has won billions for accident victims across Texas and the United States. For more information, visit zehllaw.com.

ANYANG-SI, South Korea, October 22, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- The global anti-aging industry is undergoing a profound transformation. IEONA GeneAKG®, developed by the Hanmi Life Sciences team under NextEye Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 137940.KQ), is pioneering a shift from single-ingredient supplementation to systematic metabolic intervention through its world-first patented technology, three-dimensional synergistic formulation, and exclusive gender-specific solutions.

A World-First Milestone in Anti-Aging Innovation

As we age, mitochondrial function declines, reducing cellular energy metabolism efficiency. Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG), a key intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, plays a central role in energy metabolism. Endogenous AKG levels decrease with age, and supplementation may help restore cellular energy efficiency. Building on this principle, IEONA GeneAKG explores a new approach to slowing aging at its source.

Developed by the Hanmi Life Sciences team led by a Harvard-trained medical doctor, IEONA GeneAKG represents a world-first milestone in anti-aging innovation. In 2020, the team published animal research reporting that IEONA GeneAKG increased NAD+ and sirtuin protein levels, with effects on mitochondrial ATP production and DNA-related aging reversal reportedly surpassing those of NMN. The findings attracted widespread attention from the international medical community. Harvard professor David Sinclair, described as the discoverer of NMN, has also reportedly acknowledged IEONA GeneAKG's anti-aging potential on multiple occasions.

Proprietary Formulation and Gender-Specific Solutions Create a Competitive Advantage

Unlike conventional single-ingredient supplements, IEONA GeneAKG features a three-dimensional synergistic system designed to restore cellular function, promote cellular clearance, and boost energy metabolism. IEONA GeneAKG supports cellular function and reactivates energy metabolism; fisetin promotes cellular clearance and renewal; and pterostilbene enhances energy production by activating longevity-related pathways. Together, these ingredients form an integrated system designed to restore youthful metabolic balance.

IEONA GeneAKG offers gender-specific formulations. The men's formula combines saw palmetto extract and zinc to support prostate health, hormonal balance, and lean body mass maintenance. The women's formula incorporates phytoestrogen-like compounds to address skin laxity, bone loss, and cardiovascular risks associated with declining estrogen levels. This personalized, metabolism-based approach establishes a strong technological barrier to entry.

Three Synergistic Targets Supported by Scientific Data

Third-party efficacy evaluations of IEONA GeneAKG reported a 44.8% reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS), supporting free radical clearance; up to a 53.2% increase in telomerase activity, associated with chromosome stability and cellular longevity; and up to a 77% increase in SPNS1 gene expression, potentially helping delay cellular aging. These three targets work synergistically across metabolism, cellular repair, and clearance.

IEONA GeneAKG has also undergone animal studies and human clinical trials. In a Phase I clinical trial conducted at NewMed Hospital in the United States, patients with chronic conditions reportedly experienced significant improvements across 13 common chronic diseases following oral administration, with 128 clinical indicators returning to normal ranges. These findings were presented as evidence of IEONA GeneAKG's safety and anti-aging efficacy in humans.

Beyond Cellular Health: Comprehensive Whole-Body Support

The potential benefits of IEONA GeneAKG extend to joint health, cognitive function, emotional well-being, and gut health. It supports cartilage cell vitality to help combat wear and inflammation, contributes to exercise-related improvements in spatial learning and memory formation, and helps maintain intestinal epithelial integrity and immune balance. From cellular health to whole-body wellness, it offers comprehensive anti-aging support.

IEONA GeneAKG is more than a product — it represents a measurable, reproducible rejuvenation solution. As the global anti-aging market evolves from luxury wellness toward science-based health solutions, IEONA GeneAKG aims to lead a new era of healthy aging through original research and proprietary technology.

LONDON, United Kingdom, October 22, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- London Gold Centre has launched a new online gold price calculator designed to help consumers check the current value of their gold using live market-linked prices. The new calculator allows users to enter the weight of their gold and select its purity to receive an instant estimate based on the latest gold price per gram.

Available through the London Gold Centre website, the tool covers gold from 9-carat through to 24-carat and is designed to help people researching the value of jewellery, scrap gold, coins, and bars before deciding whether to sell. The calculator uses live market data, with prices updating regularly as the gold market moves. Users can also view gold prices in different currencies and compare the value of different gold purities. The tool is intended to provide a straightforward starting point for people who may be unsure how much their gold is worth.

Gold value can vary depending on purity and weight. For example, 9-carat gold contains 37.5 per cent pure gold, compared with 75 per cent for 18-carat and 99.9 per cent for 24-carat gold. The company's new gold price per gram page also provides guidance on hallmarks, carat, weight, and how the market price of gold is converted from a troy ounce into a price per gram.

London Gold Centre said the calculator provides an estimate rather than a guaranteed final valuation, with final prices confirmed following testing and verification. The company, which has operated in the precious metals trade since 2001, is based at 5 Hatton Garden in London and buys and sells gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.

“Gold prices can move quickly, and many people simply don't know what their jewellery, coins or bullion may be worth," said Mohamed Aliya at London Gold Centre. "We wanted to make that information easier to access, so the new calculator gives people a straightforward way to check the indicative value of their gold based on its weight and purity. The calculator is designed to be a useful first step for anyone considering selling, buying, or simply understanding the value of gold they already own, before going on to get a professional valuation."

The calculator is part of London Gold Centre's wider online service, which allows customers to research precious metal prices, sell gold, and buy bullion. A separate online shop provides access to gold bars, gold coins, and other precious metals, with prices linked to live market movements.

The London Gold Centre gold price calculator is now available online.

About London Gold Centre

London Gold Centre is a Hatton Garden precious metals dealer that has been in the trade since 2001. Based at 5 Hatton Garden, London, the company buys and sells gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, alongside providing bullion and precious metals services.

กทม, Thailand, October 22, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- As the 2026 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are held in Bangkok, this year's meetings, themed "Empowering People, Building Resilience," have focused in side events and policy dialogues on a multi-track path for future forms of money — the long-term coexistence of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins, tokenized bank deposits, and traditional bank money. The key lies in interconnectivity, reducing cross-border settlement frictions, and building trust.

Against this backdrop, CodeCoin co-hosted a side event with the Reinventing Bretton Woods Committee (RBWC), BRICS Thailand, and the Centre for Business Technology & Innovation (CBIT) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Representatives from financial regulators, international banking institutions, and the Web3 ecosystem gathered to discuss how licensed stablecoins can serve as auditable, spendable, and neutral clearing rails that truly connect to global merchant networks, responding to the Annual Meetings' core discussions on multi-rail interoperability and trust infrastructure.

In his keynote address, Benny Wong, founder and CEO of CodeCoin, emphasized that real payment services rest on a foundation of trust built on multi-jurisdiction licensing, fund segregation, and auditability. CodeCoin is committed to building neutral clearing rails that connect global and emerging markets, integrating licensed stablecoin rails into the global Visa merchant network to provide an auditable and spendable path for cross-border settlement and everyday consumption. Global stablecoin annual transaction volume has surpassed US$72.5 trillion. With regulatory frameworks now fully implemented across more than 40 jurisdictions — including the United States, Hong Kong, and the EU's MiCA — and surging demand from 1.3 billion unbanked people worldwide and AI agent payment needs, licensed stablecoins are entering a critical window of opportunity. Compliant on-chain infrastructure will become a core driver of AI agents and the future of digital finance.

Artificial intelligence was the most prominent cross-cutting theme of this year's Annual Meetings. AI was framed as both a "double-edged sword" and a major growth engine, with discussions covering AI agents, structural impacts on labor markets, and how practical AI applications can benefit more people. AI agents require programmable, real-time settleable, and auditable monetary rails — licensed stablecoins combined with real-time Visa settlement provide the underlying payment infrastructure for the agent economy. Two roundtable forums were held at the event. One focused on "How Blockchain Can Support the Agent Economy," and the other on "Sovereign Digital Currency Selection and Settlement Ecosystem Trends." Participants explored the practical value of stablecoins in payment efficiency, liquidity provision, and reducing intermediary costs, especially in cross-border and corporate transactions. Guests and attendees engaged in constructive dialogue on the coexistence of multiple forms of money, regulatory clarity, interoperability, and points of trust. CodeCoin also prepared a product launch in parallel with the roundtables, closing the loop between policy discussion and implementable solutions.

In addition, CodeCoin and the Centre for Business Technology & Innovation (CBIT) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University jointly released the "Southeast Asia Fintech Policy Green Paper." The Green Paper systematically maps the regulatory landscape and strategic pathways for value capture across ASEAN, offering decision-making reference for the industry in an environment where regulatory lag and innovation opportunities coexist, and further deepening dialogue between academia and industry.

This year's Annual Meetings repeatedly emphasized resilience, buffers, trust, and fraud prevention. CodeCoin has always regarded security and compliance as the prerequisite for scaling digital finance. CodeCoin has built a multi-jurisdiction licensed operating system, officially holds a stablecoin issuer license from the AIFC in Kazakhstan, and is steadily advancing the compliant issuance of its self-developed stablecoin CUSD. License coverage in major global markets is already in place. The underlying technical architecture incorporates quantum encryption as a long-term security supplement, building post-quantum defenses for digital asset storage, settlement, and cross-border transmission.

On the product side, the newly launched CodeCoin Visa card enables users to top up and settle in real time with CUSD (compatible with USDC) directly in the app, bind Apple Pay and Google Pay with one click, and spend seamlessly online and at tens of millions of Visa-accepting merchants worldwide. This effectively connects the stablecoin rail to the world's largest merchant network, validating the feasibility of licensed stablecoins as everyday payment infrastructure. The launch event also introduced a triple cardholder benefits package, including a gift package worth up to US$1,000, up to 8% cashback on prepaid spending, and monthly lucky draws.

At the event, CodeCoin announced a Visa card technology integration partnership with fintech company Dune Fintech, enabling partners to rapidly gain the ability to deliver digital assets into global payment use cases. CodeCoin also signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with Tiger Brokers and Dragon Rise Group to deepen cooperation on compliant digital asset clearing, crypto-asset-backed lending, and the connection between traditional finance and the Web3 ecosystem.

This launch marks a new stage in the practical implementation of the "licensed stablecoin + compliant clearing + Visa global payments" pathway, offering a tangible paradigm for the global Web3 payment ecosystem and financial inclusion. CodeCoin will continue to act as an industry practitioner and participant in the discussion, working with all parties to build bridges rather than barriers, and to enable digital assets to truly serve the real economy and inclusive finance.

LONDON, United Kingdom, October 22, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Sends, a UK-based fintech company providing payment solutions for individuals and businesses, participated in the Payments Leaders’ Summit UK, held on Oct. 20–21 in London. As part of the event, Sends CEO Alona Shevtsova moderated the Women in Business Lunch, bringing together female leaders from across the financial services, technology, and business sectors to discuss leadership, career development and the future of women in the industry.

The discussion took place on Oct. 20 at the InterContinental London Park Lane and featured Maggie Bazemore, Systems Director at Mr & Mrs Smith, and Beatrice Andreea Sava, Senior Strategy Consultant at Edgar, Dunn & Company.

Moderated by Alona Shevtsova, the conversation explored the personal and professional experiences that shape leadership journeys, the importance of mentorship and professional networks, and the opportunities available to women building careers in traditionally male-dominated industries.

A central theme of the discussion was the evolving role of women in finance and technology. While female representation has progressed in recent years, the participants explored the challenges that remain, particularly in senior leadership and technical positions, and the changes needed to create more inclusive career opportunities.

"Leadership is not simply about reaching a certain position. It is about taking responsibility, creating opportunities for others and building an environment where people can grow. Discussions like this are important because they allow us to share real experiences, learn from one another and encourage more women to take an active role in shaping the future of financial services," said Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends.

Building on its participation in London, Sends plans to continue its collaboration with the Payments Leaders’ Summit organisers at their upcoming event in Dubai in February 2027. The company sees the Middle East as an important market for developing industry relationships and exploring new opportunities for international cooperation.

Sends continues to strengthen its position in the international payments industry. In October 2026, the company announced cooperation with UnionPay International to develop both card issuing and acquiring capabilities. The initiative aims to expand international payment opportunities for Sends customers while helping merchants reach a broader global audience, particularly across markets connected to Asia.

Alongside its international expansion initiatives, Sends remains focused on making financial services more accessible to small and medium-sized businesses in the UK. The company recently introduced a special autumn offer allowing eligible businesses opening a GBP Business Payment Account to add an EUR or USD account without an additional account-opening fee.
