賓夕法尼亞州費城, 2026年3月31日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc.（“Datavault AI”或“公司”）（NASDAQ: DVLT），作為數據變現、身份認證、數字互動以及現實世界資產（RWA）代幣化技術領域的領先企業，與Coppercore Inc.（“Coppercore”）今日宣佈，雙方已完成一項具有約束力協議的簽署與交割，旨在對重要銅資源進行數字化和代幣化。該交易使Datavault AI能夠部署其專利的IDE®、DataScore®及DataValue®區塊鏈代幣化平台，創建Coppercoin™數字代幣，以代表對應地下銅資源的按比例所有權權益。該項目初期計劃鑄造不少於1億美元的數字銅代幣（Digital Copper Tokens）。Coppercoin™代幣的結構設計為：每枚代幣對應五磅高品位銅資源，其定價直接與COMEX銅基準價格（按每磅計）掛鈎。該機制為投資者提供了可分割、透明且具流動性的數字化所有權，同時使投資回報與實物銅市場動態及未來產量增長潛力保持一致。首期1億美元項目預計將在本年度第二季度末前啟動，從而實現銅資產代幣化的全球全天候投資可及性。Coppercoin™引入了一種全新的數字資產類別，可帶來市場效率與機遇的提升，包括流程升級以及未來銅工業產品（如銅精礦、沉澱銅及精煉銅（陰極銅））的生產。銅是推動全球能源轉型、人工智能基礎設施建設、電氣化、可再生能源系統以及脫碳進程的基礎金屬。全球銅需求預計將大幅增長——到2035年增長24%（Wood Mackenzie），到2040年最高可達50%（S&P Global）。這一增長主要由AI數據中心、電氣化進程以及全球能源擴張所驅動，而供應受限可能導致顯著的供需缺口。傳統銅市場（主要通過London Metal Exchange（LME）和COMEX進行交易）依然較為複雜，對全球眾多投資者而言可及性有限。Coppercoin™通過提供透明、可分割且具流動性的數字化所有權（支持全天候24/7交易），改變了這一現狀，為全球投資者提供了一種便捷、合規的方式參與銅市場機遇。Nathaniel T. Bradley，Datavault AI首席執行官表示：“我們今日與Coppercore達成的協議，是我們全球RWA代幣化戰略的重要里程碑。通過對銅資源進行代幣化，我們為投資者提供了機構級、可驗證且具流動性的數字化所有權，同時直接支持為人工智能、電氣化及能源轉型提供動力的關鍵礦產供應鏈。此次合作驗證了我們的專利平台作為戰略性自然資源合規代幣化基準基礎設施的地位。”Antonio Treminio，Coppercore Inc.首席執行官補充道：“與Datavault AI的合作，使作為一家以勘探、開發和生產為導向的銅礦企業，Coppercore能夠通過現代區塊鏈架構，加速我們高品位銅及銀資產的價值創造。Coppercoin™為全球投資者提供了一個合規、全天候（24/7）的數字化路徑，以持有並交易銅資產敞口，並在我們邁向商業化生產的過程中把握產量增長帶來的收益潛力。”這些代幣化資產將依託Datavault AI專有的智能合約技術，實現所有權的可驗證性、基於人工智能的價值評估，以及與商業化銅生產相關的未來收益參與權。本次交易進一步鞏固了Datavault AI在戰略性自然資源代幣化領域的領先地位，並確立Coppercoin™作為合規且具流動性的數字礦產資產行業標杆。關於Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI™（NASDAQ: DVLT）是Web 3.0環境中以人工智能驅動的數據體驗、資產估值與變現領域的先行者。公司基於雲的平台通過其聲學科學（Acoustic Sciences）與數據科學（Data Sciences）兩大業務部門，提供全面解決方案。Datavault AI的聲學科學部門擁有WiSA®、ADIO®及Sumerian®等專利技術，專注於空間音頻與多聲道無線高清音頻傳輸，涵蓋音頻時序、同步以及多聲道干擾消除等核心知識產權。數據科學部門則利用Web 3.0及高性能計算技術，實現體驗式數據感知、估值及安全變現。該平台服務於多個行業，包括體育與娛樂、活動與場館、生物科技、教育、金融科技、房地產、醫療健康、能源等領域。信息數據交換平台Information Data Exchange®（IDE®）通過將現實世界中的實體對象與不可篡改的元數據安全綁定，實現數字孿生（Digital Twins）及姓名、形象與肖像權的授權，從而推動具備完整性與責任性的人工智能發展。Datavault AI的技術套件具備高度可定制性，涵蓋人工智能與機器學習自動化、第三方系統集成、精細化數據分析、營銷自動化及廣告監測等功能。公司總部位於美國賓夕法尼亞州費城。更多信息請訪問：https://datavaultsite.com 。關於Coppercore Inc.Coppercore Inc.是一家以勘探、開發及生產為導向的銅礦公司，專注於推動高品位銅及銀資源向商業化生產階段發展。網址：www.coppercore.co前瞻性聲明本新聞稿包含有關Datavault AI Inc.（“Datavault AI”、“公司”、“我們”）及其所處行業的“前瞻性聲明”（根據經修訂的《1995年私人證券訴訟改革法案》及其他證券法律的定義），涉及風險與不確定性。在某些情況下，您可以通過諸如“可能（may）”、“或許（might）”、“將（will）”、“應當（shall/should）”、“預期（expects）”、“計劃（plans）”、“預計（anticipates）”、“可能（could）”、“打算（intends）”、“目標（target）”、“項目（projects）”、“設想（contemplates）”、“相信（believes）”、“估計（estimates）”、“預測（predicts）”、“潛在（potential）”、“目標（goal/objective）”、“尋求（seeks）”、“可能性較大（likely）”或“持續（continue）”及其否定形式或類似表述來識別前瞻性聲明，這些表述通常涉及我們的預期、戰略、計劃或意圖。即使未包含上述詞語，也不意味著相關表述不屬於前瞻性聲明。此類前瞻性聲明包括但不限於：有關未來事件的陳述、與Coppercore合作的預期收益、公司專有IDE®、DataScore®、DataValue®及Data Vault®平台通過基於區塊鏈的代幣化對Coppercore銅銀礦資源所有權權益進行數字化的預期部署情況，以及公司商業戰略的預期運營、技術和商業成果，以及與數字資產相關監管變化的預期方向及其市場影響等。這些陳述均基於公司及其管理層認為合理的估計和假設，但其本質上具有不確定性。敬請讀者不要過度依賴本新聞稿中的這些及其他前瞻性聲明。由於多種風險和不確定性，實際結果可能與上述前瞻性聲明所示存在重大差異，這些風險包括但不限於：對安全高性能數據處理的市場需求變化；公司專有IDE®、DataScore®、DataValue®及Data Vault®平台在通過區塊鏈代幣化對Coppercore銅銀礦資源所有權權益進行數字化方面的性能、實施時間或成功程度；市場對Datavault AI服務和產品需求的變化；經濟、市場或監管環境的變化；與代幣化資產相關的監管框架演變風險；技術開發與整合相關風險；以及Datavault AI向美國證券交易委員會（SEC）提交的文件中更為詳細描述的其他風險與不確定性，包括其截至2025年12月31日止年度的Form 10-K年報及其不時向SEC提交的其他文件（可在SEC網站www.sec.gov查閱）。上述因素均可能導致實際結果與預期存在差異。本新聞稿中的前瞻性聲明僅反映聲明作出之日的情況。除法律要求外，Datavault AI不承擔更新本新聞稿中任何前瞻性聲明的義務，無論是因後續事件、情況變化、新信息或未預見事件的發生。Datavault AI未必能夠實現其前瞻性聲明中披露的計劃、意圖或預期，投資者不應對該等前瞻性聲明給予過度依賴。此外，Datavault AI的前瞻性聲明未反映其未來可能進行的任何收購、合併、資產處置、合資或投資所帶來的潛在影響。欲了解更多信息，請訪問：https://datavaultsite.com 或聯繫投資者關係部門。資料來源：1.

A Closer Look at Fosun International 2025 Annual Results: ‘One-Off Risk Clearance’ Paves Way for ‘RMB10 Billion Profit’
HONG KONG, Mar 31, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On the evening of 30 March, Fosun International announced its 2025 annual results. During the Reporting Period, the Group’s total revenue reached RMB173.43 billion, and adjusted industrial operation profit was RMB4 billion.Compared to prior years, Fosun’s results have remained solid. However, pursuant to the principle of prudence, Fosun made one-off non-cash impairment provisions and value revaluations on certain real estate projects with impairment indicators and goodwill and intangible assets of certain non-core business segments, resulting in a book loss of RMB23.4 billion in 2025, of which real estate-related impairment accounted for approximately 55%, while impairment of non-core assets accounted for approximately 45%.Fosun emphasized in the announcement that these provisions do not affect the Company’s overall operations and cash flow. However, Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, offered a sincere apology in this year’s Letter to Shareholders, stating that “A loss is never desirable.” He further explained that, “Under the current market conditions, some of the projects we invested in years ago are now valued differently from what we expected at the time of investment. Accordingly, the Board has taken a prudent decision to complete this asset impairment, allowing Fosun to focus its resources and efforts more effectively on core, high-growth areas. At a time when the global economy is generating opportunities amid volatility and China’s innovation-driven industries are gaining growth momentum, deepening our strategic focus now allows us to optimize our asset structure and helps us secure a stronger position in key sectors, positioning Fosun as a leaner, healthier, and more sustainable company.”In recent years, Fosun has steadily advance its strategy of “streamlining operations and strengthening the business, focusing on core businesses”, generating approximately RMB75 billion in cash returns from asset and business divestments. This round of impairments marks Fosun’s decisive step to clear accumulated risks on a one-off basis and shed “historical burdens”. While the book loss appears significant, from the capital market’s perspective, Fosun’s share price has rebounded more than 10% since the announcement of its results preview on 6 March, indicating the market has recognized and accepted its “risk clearance”.In his Letter to Shareholders, Guo Guangchang described this asset impairment as “repairing the roof on a sunny day”. Fosun International’s results announcement offers a clear illustration. Fosun’s core businesses has continued to deliver steady profits, reflecting solid operating fundamentals. At the same time, its long-established innovation and globalization strategies have become the core growth drivers for the Company. Collectively, these achievements underpin Fosun’s confidence in proceeding with “risk clearance” at this stage.Business fundamentals remain solid, pharmaceuticals and insurance segments deliver strong resultsLet’s start with Fosun’s business fundamentals. In 2025, Fosun International’s four core subsidiaries generated RMB128.2 billion in revenue, accounting for 74% of the Group’s total revenue. This demonstrates the results of Fosun’s strategic adjustment of “focusing on core businesses”, effectively addressing prior market concerns over “diversification”.Among them, Fosun Pharma, a core subsidiary of Fosun, achieved a net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent of RMB3.371 billion in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 21.69%. Fosun Pharma’s biopharmaceutical innovation platform, Henlius, recorded revenue of RMB6.667 billion and net profit of RMB827 million, delivering growth in both revenue and net profit for the third consecutive year.Next, let’s take a look at Fosun’s most important overseas subsidiary, Fosun Insurance Portugal. In 2025, Fosun Insurance Portugal achieved strong growth in revenue and net profit. Its net profit attributable to owners of the parent amounted to EUR201 million, up 15.8% year-on-year, establishing it as a stable contributor to Fosun’s profitability. Fosun Insurance Portugal has benefited significantly from Fosun’s global ecosystem, expanding its presence from Portugal to overseas markets such as Europe, Latin America and Africa. In 2025, Fosun Insurance Portugal received its inaugural A rating from S&P Global, reflecting international recognition of its asset quality and risk resilience.In Chinese mainland, Fosun’s two insurance companies have also performed well. Pramerica Fosun Life Insurance’s premium income for the year reached RMB13.28 billion, up 41.6% year-on-year, while net profit surged over 492% to RMB650 million. Meanwhile, Fosun United Health Insurance recorded insurance income of RMB7.84 billion in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 50.1%, with net profit reaching RMB139 million, marking five consecutive years of profitability.Core drivers: innovation and globalization strategiesFosun Pharma and Fosun Insurance Portugal embody Fosun’s two core strategies: innovation and globalization.Since its establishment, Fosun has always regarded “innovation-driven research and development (R&D)” as its core strategy, and began its global expansion following its listing in Hong Kong. After years of intensive investment and exploration, innovation and globalization strategies have become the core driving forces behind Fosun’s development, consistently delivering results that generate “compounding returns” over time.The biggest change for Fosun Pharma in 2025 was strong growth in its innovative drug breakthroughs. During the Reporting Period, Fosun Pharma’s revenue from innovative drugs reached RMB9.893 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 29.59%, accounting for 33.16% of its pharmaceutical business revenue. Fosun Pharma had 16 indications of its 7 innovative drugs approved for marketing in China and overseas markets, while marketing applications for 6 innovative drug candidates were accepted.During the Reporting Period, nearly 40 of Fosun’s innovative drug clinical trials were approved by regulatory authorities in China, the United States and Europe, while multiple core products entered key clinical phases, laying a solid pipeline foundation for subsequent commercial growth.Henlius’ HLX43 remains the main focus of market interest. As a PD-L1-targeted antibody drug conjugate (ADC) with potential best-in-class characteristics and broad anti-tumor activity across multiple tumor types, HLX43 has shown significant advantages, with a favorable efficacy and safety profile in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gynecological tumors, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and other indications. On 27 January 2025, it was approved for clinical trials in Chinese mainland, positioning it to become another landmark product for Fosun.This year, Fosun’s international business development (BD) efforts for innovative drugs made a notable impression on the market. For example, at the beginning of 2026, Fosun Pharma entered into an agreement with Eisai Co., Ltd. in relation to HANSIZHUANG, with a potential total value of over USD300 million. At the end of 2025, Fosun Pharma’s subsidiary, Yao Pharma, signed a global exclusive licensing agreement with Pfizer, with a potential total value of over USD2 billion; Fosun Pharma Industrial entered into a strategic collaboration with biotechnology company Clavis Bio, with Fosun Pharma eligible to receive up to USD7.25 billion in payments.In terms of globalization, Fosun has established a profound business presence in more than 40 countries and regions worldwide. Today, it has achieved comprehensive globalization across products, services, and brands. In 2025, Fosun’s overseas revenue reached RMB94.86 billion, accounting for 54.7% of total revenue, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.4 percentage points. Fosun’s globalization strategy has evolved from “acquiring globally” to “earning globally”.Club Med, a subsidiary of Fosun Tourism Group, operates 67 resorts worldwide. During the Reporting Period, Club Med once again achieved record-high performance, with revenue reaching RMB18.07 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 3.6%, while operating profit reached RMB1.44 billion, up 4.6% from 2024.Hainan Mining, a subsidiary of Fosun, has now developed into a global resource + new energy company and has made remarkable strides in its global expansion. Hainan Mining’s model of “overseas resources + processing in Hainan” entered a substantive operational stage in 2025. Its Bougouni Lithium Mine in Mali produced 45,000 tons of lithium concentrate, with the first shipment of 30,000 tons arriving at Yangpu Port in Hainan in January 2026. Additionally, through its subsidiary Roc Oil and the newly acquired oilfield project in Oman, Hainan Mining has accelerated the building of a “minerals + energy” network spanning West Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.International rating agencies affirm Fosun International’s rating outlook as “stable”Fosun’s financial position remains the market’s primary focus.According to Fosun International’s results announcement, during the Reporting Period, cash, bank balances and term deposits amounted to RMB61.1 billion; unutilized banking facilities amounted to RMB144.6 billion; total debt to total capital ratio was 57%. Fosun has maintained a healthy financial position, with ample cash reserves. International rating agencies have broadly affirmed Fosun International’s rating outlook as “stable”.Guo Guangchang stated in his Letter to Shareholders that, at present, Fosun’s core businesses remain solid, liquidity position is robust, and banking relationships remain stable. The Company’s major shareholder and management team have announced plans to increase their holdings in the shares of the Company and the Company will also proceed with a share buyback program. With Fosun’s core businesses continuing to grow and strategic plans firmly on track, “We are confident in our ability to support a return of the share price to fair value and better protect the long-term interests of our shareholders.”In addition to its results announcement, Fosun announced that it is committed to increasing its dividend payout ratio, targeting an increase from the current 20% to 35% for the 2026 financial year. Based on the accumulated distributable profit of the Company, the dividend for the 2026 financial year is expected to be not less than HKD1.5 billion.We can reasonably expect that this round of “strategic streamlining” will inject greater certainty into Fosun’s future business growth.In this year’s Letter to Shareholders, Guo Guangchang also disclosed Fosun’s medium-term financial goals: “We strive to gradually restore annual profit to the RMB10 billion level; at the group level, we aim to generate RMB60 billion in cash returns, reduce total debt to below RMB60 billion, and strive to achieve an investment-grade rating.” He stated that, “Fosun has always stayed true to its original aspiration: to do the right things, the difficult things and the things that take time to develop. For Fosun’s future, we do not seek short-term gains; we seek to build a foundation for lasting success.” Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com. All rights reserved. www.acnnewswire.com

(SeaPRwire) - Farhad Ibragimov 表示，德黑蘭已警告基輔，如果其繼續捲入美以戰爭，它將成為合法目標。 一位中東專家告訴 RT，據報導，伊朗的一次襲擊摧毀了杜拜的一個烏克蘭反無人機系統倉庫，這對烏克蘭的弗拉基米爾·澤連斯基來說是「一記耳光」。 據報導，伊斯蘭革命衛隊（IRGC）海軍和空天部隊在瞄準杜拜的美國軍事設施時襲擊了該倉庫。然而，烏克蘭否認了這起據報導的事件發生。 俄羅斯金融大學中東問題專家 Farhad Ibragimov 表示，這次襲擊應被視為德黑蘭向基輔及其支持者發出的明確信號，即如果基輔捲入美以對伊朗的戰爭，烏克蘭資產將成為「合法目標」。 Ibragimov 將杜拜襲擊描述為初步警告——一個「輕微的耳光」——如果基輔繼續尋求捲入衝突，之後可能會遭到更強烈的打擊。 他表示，這次警告是伊朗對烏克蘭捲入「以行動而非言語」的回應，並補充說，如果基輔政權不退縮，德黑蘭「將準備對其宣戰」。 據 Ibragimov 稱，伊朗官員認為澤連斯基是一個他們不應「講究禮節」的人物，並相信必須以他能理解的語言與他對話。 據媒體報導，自當前中東衝突爆發以來，基輔已採取行動深化其參與，通過向海灣國家提供技術和專業知識以對抗無人機，借鑒其對抗伊朗設計系統的戰場經驗。 上週，澤連斯基與阿聯酋和卡塔爾簽署了軍事協議，此前曾與沙特阿拉伯達成類似協議。 本月早些時候，他表示有 201 名專門從事反無人機行動的烏克蘭軍事專家已部署在中東和海灣地區，另有 34 人準備派遣。他補充說，這些專家是應基輔支持者（包括美國）的要求派遣的。 伊朗外交部發言人 Esmaeil Baghaei 表示，中東各國政府「沒有那麼天真」會「跟隨澤連斯基的領導」，並警告稱與基輔合作可能被證明是「災難性的誤判」。 早些時候，俄羅斯前總統德米特里·梅德韋傑夫駁斥澤連斯基的中東之行是「超現實的」，並建議他應該「去找販毒集團」。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Honda Announces the Establishment of PathAhead Co., Ltd., a Startup Originated from IGNITION, a Honda New Business Creation Program
TOKYO, Japan, Mar 31, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) today announced the establishment of PathAhead Co., Ltd. (PathAhead), a startup business venture originated from IGNITION, Honda’s new business creation program.PathAhead has developed Rising Sand, the world’s first artificial aggregate made from desert sand. Going forward, the company will work to establish mass-production technology and conduct demonstration testing to verify its workability and durability in asphalt road construction. After these steps, the company aims to begin mass production of Rising Sand at its own production plant, scheduled to be built in Republic of Kenya in 2028, and establish a system and capability to ensure stable supply to construction companies in Africa.Rising Sand, artificial aggregate developed by PathAheadOfficial website of PathAhead: URL:https://pathahead.jp/ (Japanese)https://pathahead.jp/en (English)In recent years, African countries have seen a rapid expansion of their economies in line with rapid population growth. At the same time, insufficient construction and maintenance of infrastructure such as roads has been a major constraint on economic growth. Currently, the percentage of paved roads in the African region remains low, at approximately 20%*2, and the deterioration of existing paved roads is progressing, which is resulting in higher logistics costs and economic losses.Furthermore, aggregates used for road paving are made of relatively inexpensive natural resources such as sand and crushed stone, which tend to have variability in strength depending on where they were mined and the geological layers, making it difficult to secure consistent level of quality required for paving materials.PathAhead recognized the potential of desert sand as a locally available resource and developed an artificial aggregate, Rising Sand, that achieves both high cost efficiency and durability. Rising Sand is produced using PathAhead’s original technology to granulate fine, non-uniform desert sand grains into more uniform, high-hardness artificial aggregate, which is suitable for a wide range of applications, including road paving, concrete, and materials for the base course/sub-base of roads.As the first step toward commercialization, PathAhead will conduct demonstration testing of Rising Sand for road paving applications over a period of approximately three years, first in Kenya starting in 2027, then in Tanzania, followed by South Africa. The company will verify workability, durability, and the consistency of quality while considering local climate and traffic conditions in each country, aiming to establish specifications that satisfy the requirements for road pavement materials for mass production.Based on the results of the demonstration testing, PathAhead will start mass-production of Rising Sand at a production plant scheduled to be constructed in Kenya in 2028, then in Tanzania, followed by South Africa, with the goal of building a stable supply system through local sourcing and local production.Key features of the Rising SandRising Sand is an artificial aggregate produced by granulating the round grains of fine desert sand with a diameter of approximately 100 micrometers (μm)*3 into larger granulated sand clusters with a diameter of several ten millimeters (mm), using PathAhead’s original, patent-pending granulation technology. This technology reduces variations in the size and shape of sand clusters, thereby increasing its strength as aggregate.While roads constructed with conventional natural aggregates typically have a service life of about 10 years, roads constructed with the Rising Sand are expected to achieve a service life of more than 20 years*4, which will reduce the frequency of road repairs and is estimated to reduced lifecycle cost by approximately 60%*4 compared to that of conventional roads using natural aggregates. Furthermore, by using locally available resources such as desert sand and additives, PathAhead will strive to offer Rising Sand at a price comparable to that of natural aggregates.As the depletion of natural resources, such as sand and crushed stone extracted from mountains and rivers, is becoming a serious global issue, Rising Sand can be used as a sustainable alternative that fulfills a wide range of construction needs, beyond applications for road pavements, including applications for concrete and materials for the base course/sub-base of roads.Image of granulating desert sand to produce Rising SandKey applications of Rising Sand*1 Granular materials used as a component in construction mixtures, such as pavement material.*2 PathAhead estimate based on “The World Factbook” published by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).*3 1μm = 1/1000 of a mm.*4 Based on research by PathAhead.Comments by Masayuki Iga, Representative Director & CEO of PathAhead Co., Ltd.“At Honda, I worked on research and development of automotive materials and fundamental research on mobility-related technologies, based on what our customers expect of our finished vehicles. I established PathAhead based on my desire to leverage technologies and insights I amassed through such experience to swiftly and directly address challenges facing our society. In Africa, the low durability of roads significantly constrains the mobility of people, logistics, and economic activities. Roads are more than mere infrastructure: they connect people, expand access to education, healthcare, and industry for more people, and form the foundation that supports the potential of the region. PathAhead is committed to more than just building roads: by providing highly durable materials, we take on a challenge to create sustainable road networks. With our end-to-end commitment — from fundamental research to locally rooted real-world implementation — we will leverage the power of our technology and enable people and society to unleash their limitless potential, starting from the ‘roads’ they use.” Comments by Keiji Otsu, President and Representative Director of Honda R&D Co., Ltd.“Each and every Honda associate pursues their dreams and continues to take on challenges with strong conviction in order to offer our customers around the world the ‘joy and freedom of mobility’ through our mobility products and services. It is encouraging to see that the technologies and ideas Mr. Iga developed through his experience in research on mobility-related materials have led to a new idea that contributes to the infrastructure and is beginning to take shape as a solution to a societal challenge. Through our IGNITION program, Honda will offer ongoing support for this PathAhead initiative, while also accelerating co-creation with other internal and external partners and continuing to create new value and strive to address more societal issues.”About the IGNITION new business creation programThe IGNITION is a new business creation program of Honda, designed to discover the original ideas, technologies and designs of Honda associates and apply them to contribute to solving societal issues and creating new value for customers and society. The program started in 2017 as an initiative to encourage Honda associates to create new business within Honda. In 2020, the program added an option for qualified associates to start their own business ventures to realize earlier possible real-world implementation of their technologies. Furthermore, in 2023, by expanding the eligibility for participation to individuals and businesses outside Honda, the IGNITION was further advanced into a program under which participants strive to achieve innovative value creation by combining the ideas of people outside the company with the technologies and expertise of Honda. Key Features of IGNITION system (for Honda associates)- All full-time Honda associates who work for Honda operations in Japan are eligible to submit proposals regardless of their length of employment and assigned division. - Proposals selected in the first-round evaluation will receive approximately six months of business development support. During this period, a taskforce team consisting of internal specialists will be formed to support each proposer.- Ideas that pass the second-round evaluation will be commercialized through a startup venture or within the company.- For startups, the possibility of investment from Honda will be considered in a meeting of the Corporate Venturing Council held after the second-round evaluation.- External investors provide advice to each proposer throughout the evaluation process.- In order to ensure independence of the startup, the ratio of capital contribution by Honda will be limited to no more than 20%.

Legal status of crypto casinos stays ambiguous amid U.S. market expansion
(AsiaGameHub) - As digital currencies gain widespread mainstream acceptance, the popularity of gambling at crypto casinos has grown steadily across the globe. Over the last five years, gross gaming revenue from crypto gambling has jumped 400%, hitting more than $81 billion in 2025. Blockchain’s draw of fast transactions, anonymity, and provably fair gameplay has led many players to choose crypto casinos over traditional gambling platforms. What’s more, the extra layer of privacy, which keeps players’ activity unlinked from their personal bank accounts or credit cards, has driven a surge in the number of crypto casino users in the U.S. That said, even with growing popularity, the legal landscape of crypto casinos still remains an unclarified grey area. In this article, we take a closer look at the legality of crypto casinos in the U.S. and how offshore operators add to this legal ambiguity. What is the legal status of crypto casinos in the U.S. No law in the United States explicitly bans players from placing bets through crypto casinos, but the issue is far from black and white. For example, at the federal level, there is no single piece of legislation that directly addresses crypto gambling. All existing enforceable rules only target traditional online casinos and related financial transactions. This regulatory ambiguity is a double-edged sword, it also means far less legal protection for individual players. Law enforcement can only take action against the companies that operate crypto casinos, rather than the individual people placing bets. This is why there are no widely reported cases of American players facing legal consequences for using these platforms. At the same time, players still sit in a grey zone where their rights cannot be guaranteed when betting on these platforms. If, for example, you place a bet at a crypto casino and the operator refuses to honor a payout, the U.S. government cannot step in to protect your interests. This uncertainty is why players in the U.S. should approach crypto casinos with both caution and excitement. For context, the European Union has been far more proactive in overseeing crypto assets through its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. These rules will bring greater transparency and consumer protection to every transaction involving cryptocurrency. That said, these regulations will work alongside the existing gambling laws of each individual EU nation. State-level laws and the role of offshore crypto casinos Unlike federal law, which remains ambiguous and leaves loopholes for players to exploit, U.S. states have much stricter regulations on online casinos. Individual states hold the power to pass laws that allow, restrict, or fully ban online gambling and cryptocurrency. In some states, online casinos are legal and regulated, and players who access licensed platforms can also access full consumer protection. For instance, online gambling is fully legal in New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Delaware, Connecticut, and Nevada. Other states, such as Hawaii and Utah, ban all forms of gambling entirely, and in states like New York and California, legislative debate is still ongoing. Players should note these differences to avoid penalties in states where gambling is prohibited. Remember that when it comes to crypto casinos, state law matters more than federal law. As the old saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention, and offshore platforms have filled this gap for players in states with gambling restrictions or unregulated markets. These offshore platforms operate in jurisdictions outside the U.S., often under much less strict rules than domestic U.S. platforms, and accept players from all over the world. Offshore crypto casinos rarely require in-depth identity checks, meaning players can gamble without submitting personal identification documents. This feature is popular with players who value anonymity and privacy, as is the speed of crypto deposits and withdrawals, which often take just a few minutes to complete. The only catch with offshore crypto casinos is that since they are not based or regulated in the U.S., players face significant uncertainty and risk. Scams are common, user accounts can be frozen or outright banned for any reason, and even worse, unregulated offshore sites can disappear overnight. This highlights the need for players to do thorough research on any platform before agreeing to deposit their crypto assets. The growing trend of AI chatbots recommending illegal online casinos on social media has made the space even riskier for new players searching for offshore crypto casinos. How should U.S. players approach crypto casinos? Crypto casinos remain a grey area for American players, as they are accessible in practice but not officially regulated in most U.S. states. Offshore platforms that accept U.S. players are a common option, but the lack of regulation creates risks that cannot be ignored. The smartest approach is to balance the thrill of gambling with caution, such as learning your state’s official stance and following a reputable casino guide that prioritizes transparency and player protection. One practical step players can take is to learn how different payment options work at these online casinos. The method you use to move funds in and out of a crypto casino determines the convenience and safety of your funds and transactions. Paying attention to these details lets you enjoy the benefits of crypto casinos while staying within the legal framework, and doing so without putting the safety of your digital assets at risk.
