Malaysia-Based ONE COMPANY Foundation Unveils ONE WALLET, a Keyless Telegram-Native Wallet on TON

Foundation-backed Web3 wallet replaces seed phrases with 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody; publishes Whitepaper V1.0 covering product, security, and the $1 token utility model. KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – May 29, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – ONE COMPANY, a foundation registered with SSM, the Companies Commission of Malaysia, today unveiled ONE WALLET, a Telegram-native Web3 wallet built on the TON blockchain. The foundation also published ONE WALLET Whitepaper V1.0, detailing the product, security architecture, and the utility model of its $1 token. ONE WALLET targets the gap between custodial exchange wallets — easy but centrally controlled — and self-custody wallets, which are powerful but ask mainstream users to memorize twelve-word seed phrases and install separate apps. ONE WALLET inverts that order: users open Telegram, complete a lightweight device check, and transact. There is no seed phrase to write down and no app to download. At the core is a 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody model. A user’s signing key is split into three shares — held by the device, the user’s Telegram account, and an offline recovery share. The wallet is designed so that no single party, including ONE WALLET, can move funds alone: any two shares are combined briefly on the user’s device to sign a transaction, then discarded. Any one share alone cannot reconstruct the key. As a foundation-led initiative, ONE COMPANY frames ONE WALLET as the financial entry point to a broader digital ecosystem spanning fintech, AI, games, travel, and information services built on blockchain. The foundation’s stated mandate includes research and education for Web3, user protection and transparency, and regulatory-compliance systems. “Most people will never write down a seed phrase, and they shouldn’t have to,” said James Kim, CEO of ONE COMPANY. “Our job as a foundation is to make self-custody feel as natural as sending a message — and to do it with security that’s honest about its boundaries. Opening private testing and publishing our whitepaper on the same day is a deliberate choice: we want users, partners, and regulators reading the same document.” ONE WALLET’s roadmap moves from the core wallet (multi-chain send, receive, and swap) to a QR-based payments rail with merchant settlement, followed by the $1 token utility layer and an ecosystem of partner mini-apps. Whitepaper V1.0 is available in English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. About ONE WALLET ONE WALLET is a Telegram-native, keyless Web3 wallet built on the TON blockchain. It replaces seed-phrase backups with a 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody model and is designed to combine a wallet, a QR-based payment rail, and the $1 token ecosystem in a single Telegram Mini App. Whitepaper V1.0 is available in EN, KO, JA, and ZH. About ONE COMPANY ONE COMPANY is a foundation registered with SSM, the Companies Commission of Malaysia, with offices in Kuala Lumpur. It develops and operates a global digital platform integrating digital wallet, fintech, AI, games, travel, and information services based on blockchain technology. ONE WALLET is its flagship consumer product.

5 Smart Ways to Use Standby Cash for Emergencies

SINGAPORE, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Life in Singapore often brings unexpected costs that can sometimes deter even the best financial plans. While it is tempting to see a credit line as extra disposable income for non-essential lifestyle choices, the most responsible way to use standby cash is to create a safety net for unplanned costs.Having a credit facility ensures you can handle urgent needs without disturbing your long-term savings or selling your investments at a loss, if you use it prudently and be mindful of the applicable interest, fees and repayment obligations. Here are five smart ways to use your standby funds for emergencies.Urgent home repairsA home is often your largest asset, but it requires constant upkeep. A sudden burst pipe, a leaking ceiling, or a faulty electrical circuit is more than just an everyday inconvenience; it is a threat to your property's value. If you do not fix these issues immediately, they can lead to mould, water damage, or even fire hazards.Most contractors in Singapore require an upfront deposit or immediate payment upon completion. These costs often fall outside your regular monthly budget. In such cases, using your standby cash allows you to hire a professional right away. This prevents a small, manageable repair from turning into a massive renovation bill that could otherwise cause you a significant financial loss in the future.Managing non-insured healthcare costsResidents of Singapore generally have good insurance coverage through MediShield Life (a lifelong national health insurance scheme in Singapore) or other private plans. However, insurance may not always cover all medical circumstances. For example, a sudden dental emergency like a fractured tooth or a painful abscess requires immediate treatment. Outpatient specialist visits or specific diagnostic tests may also require you to pay in cash first before you can claim them back.In a medical crisis, time is of the essence. One should not have to wait until the next payday to seek relief from pain or to get a necessary scan. Having standby cash ready means you can walk into a clinic or hospital, thus ensuring you receive the care you need without the added stress of checking your bank balance during a health scare.Bridging income gaps during retrenchmentRetrenchment is a sudden loss of income that can take place regardless of your industry or experience level. In a competitive job market, it can typically take between three to six months to secure a new role that matches your previous salary.While a dedicated emergency fund is ideal, it may not always cover the full duration of your unemployment. In such cases, standby cash acts as a vital secondary buffer. It helps you cover essential monthly commitments temporarily, such as utility bills, and insurance premiums, thus allowing you to focus on your job search. This prevents you from falling behind on payments, which could otherwise damage your credit score.Critical family emergenciesFamily needs often arise without warning. A parent might face sudden hospitalisation, or a relative might need urgent financial help due to an unexpected crisis. These situations are emotionally draining and may often require immediate access to cash.If your wealth is tied up in stocks, bonds, or unit trusts, you might be forced to sell them during a market downturn to get the cash you need. This locks in your losses and hurts your long-term retirement goals. Therefore, using standby cash provides the liquid funds needed in such emergencies. This allows your investments time to recover and continue growing, protecting your future wealth while you handle the present crisis.Replacement of essential appliancesHome appliances often go unnoticed until they stop working. If your refrigerator dies in the middle of a humid Singaporean week, your food can spoil within hours. Similarly, a broken washing machine can quickly disrupt a busy household's routine.Replacing these essential items can sometimes cost a significant amount of money. While it might be momentarily feasible to buy the cheapest model available to save money, it is often smarter to use standby cash to buy a high-quality, energy-efficient replacement. Quality appliances last longer and save you money on electricity bills, making them a better financial choice in the long run.How to restore your safety netUsing standby cash responsibly means having a clear plan to pay it back. When you repay the amount you borrowed, that credit limit becomes available for you to use again for the next potential emergency.Create a repayment schedule: As soon as the emergency is over, look at your monthly budget. Determine how much you can repay each month to clear the balance quickly.Prioritise high-interest debt: If you have multiple debts, focus on paying off the used standby cash to minimise interest costs.Use bonuses or windfalls: If you receive a work bonus or a tax refund, use a portion of it to renew your credit line.Final thoughtsThe value of standby cash lies in its role as a short-term financial buffer when used responsibly. It is not designed for lifestyle upgrades or impulsive shopping. Instead, it is there to give you peace of mind and protection. By reserving these funds for unplanned essential needs, you can protect your savings and ensure that a temporary crisis does not become a permanent financial setback.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Global Eyes on PSG as They Defend Champions League Title for Second Consecutive Season vs Arsenal

(AsiaGameHub) -   Press release.- The club football season is reaching its climax; on May 30, Budapest’s Puskás Aréna will serve as the stage for the ultimate showdown to determine Europe’s top team. Paris Saint-Germain, an official partner of 1xBet, is set to defend their Champions League title against an undefeated Arsenal side. Supporters can look forward to a captivating clash of tactical styles that is not to be missed. Consistency as a hallmark: The journey of PSG to the Champions League final Mirroring their previous campaign, the Red-and-Blues utilized the Champions League league phase to find their form ahead of the knockout rounds. The Parisians accumulated 14 points across 8 matches, finishing 11th in the table to secure their place in the play-offs. Luis Enrique’s squad also showcased significant offensive prowess, ranking among the top five highest-scoring teams during the league phase. In the knockout stages, fans were reminded of last season’s drama—another French derby occurred, though this time the experienced Monaco replaced the ambitious Brest. Ultimately, the Red-and-Blues found their stride, overcoming the Monégasques with a 5-4 aggregate score. In the subsequent rounds, Paris Saint-Germain once again delivered a masterclass in eliminating Premier League heavyweights. First, Luis Enrique’s men dismantled Chelsea (5-2 and 3-0), followed by a quarter-final victory over Liverpool, where they defeated the Reds twice by a 2-0 margin. The semi-final against Bayern Munich stood out as one of the most exhilarating ties of the tournament. A high-scoring affair at the Parc des Princes concluded in a 5-4 win for the hosts. Rather than sitting back, the Parisians opened the return leg in Munich with an early goal to extend their advantage. Although Bayern managed to equalize in the closing minutes, a full comeback remained out of reach. The match finished 1-1, sending Paris Saint-Germain to the Champions League final for the second consecutive year. Paris Saint-Germain: The most stylish club in modern football The success of the Parisians is defined by more than just silverware and impressive wins. Luis Enrique has cultivated a unique squad that transforms every fixture into a memorable event. Their blend of aggressive pressing and sophisticated ball possession captivates fans, often winning over even neutral observers. Beyond their collective strength, the Red-and-Blues feature exceptional individual talent. Midfielders Vitinha and João Neves orchestrate play with precision, while Ousmane Dembélé continues to dazzle supporters with his technical skill and goal-scoring ability. However, the standout performer for Paris Saint-Germain this Champions League season has been Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian winger set an all-time tournament record by recording at least one goal contribution in seven consecutive knockout matches within a single campaign. Paris Saint-Germain consistently delivers excitement, reminding fans why they are so passionate about the sport. This is why the Parc des Princes remains packed, with international celebrities frequently spotted in the club’s VIP boxes. The world turns its eyes to Paris Saint-Germain’s final Last season, the championship final drew an audience exceeding 450 million viewers. While viewership was strongest in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and other European nations, the Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter match also generated significant interest globally. Asia has emerged as a vital hub for digital engagement, with fans in India, Indonesia, China, South Korea, and the Middle East closely following the Champions League. In South America, viewers often rally behind their national stars, with audiences in Brazil, Ecuador, and Argentina watching players like Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, and Lautaro Martínez with great anticipation. The Champions League final in Budapest is expected to draw even greater global attention. After defeating Inter 5-0 last year, the Parisians now face a formidable Arsenal side that reached the final without a single loss. The match promises a clash of philosophies: Mikel Arteta’s disciplined defense versus the intense pressing and ball control favored by Luis Enrique. 1xPartners offers an opportunity to leverage one of the football season’s biggest events.

龍豐(2290)招股持續火熱 市傳國際發售已超購

香港, 2026年5月29日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 本港單店收入最大的美妝、保健及藥品零售商龍豐集團控股有限公司(股份代號:2290)已於昨天(5月28日)正式展開全球發售。在強大的品牌效應與市場期待之下,集團不論在業務市場還是資本市場均同步升溫:一方面,龍豐店舖經常人山人海,本地消費者與旅客絡繹不絕,市道極為暢旺;另一方面,資本市場反應同樣熱烈。據市場消息透露,國際發售部分已於昨日上午率先錄得超額認購,足證機構投資者對集團基本面投下信心一票。此外,為回饋股東支持,集團已訂立清晰且具吸引力的派息政策,上市後計劃每年建議分派的股息將不低於可供分配溢利的50%,這無疑對追求穩定回報的投資者十分吸引。營收複合年增長率達50% 預估2026財年純利不少於2.65億龍豐的獨特性在於其「多一點選擇,多一點快樂」的實體零售體驗。目前,集團線下31間零售店既覆蓋旺角、尖沙咀、中環、銅鑼灣等核心旅遊區(包括建築面積約17,500平方呎的旺角家樂坊旗艦店),亦深入屯門、元朗等大型住宅民生區,形成了獨特的抗週期客源結構。集團的營運效率同樣出色:平均3個月內達至收支平衡,2至8個月內回本,在高速擴張與財務穩健之間取得精妙平衡。實體零售網絡的擴展是帶動集團業績持續增長的原因之一。在2023至2025財年,龍豐的總收入複合年增長率高達50.0%。即使面對市場環境轉變,集團在2026財年首八個月的收入進一步攀升至20.35億港元,較去年同期的15.10億港元顯著增長34.7%,展現出極具韌性的逆周期業務模式;期內純利約1.48億港元,同比增長85.8%,預估全年純利約2.65億港元。基於這項既有優勢,集團計劃將集資所得重點用於擴展實體網絡,於上市日期起至2029年3月31日開設18至21間新零售店。這並非盲目的擴張,管理層強調,將透過嚴格的評估機制,確保新店能有效觸達具潛力的不同客群,同時延續集團一貫優勢,為顧客提供更寬敞舒適的購物環境,以及更豐富多元的商品選擇。這種在成熟模型基礎上的精準擴張,有望在與現有門店產生協同效應、提升盈利能力的同時,穩步放大集團的整體營收規模及市場佔有率。多元產品與穩定供應,構建核心競爭壁壘零售業的護城河深植於供應鏈管理。龍豐建立了去中間化的全球直採模式,在日本設有採購辦公室,於香港粉嶺擁有大型總倉,並在日、韓佈局海外倉。龍豐單店可售SKU超過9,000個,涵蓋美容護膚、保健品、醫藥、母嬰等11個核心品類。集團與超過600家全球供應商合作,其中部分合作關係長達15年以上,從而形成強大的議價能力與貨源優勢。此外,龍豐於2022-2024年連續三年成為美素佳兒嬰幼兒配方奶粉在香港藥房等傳統渠道的最大採購商,亦是幸福醫藥多款產品的最大採購商,可見從源頭到貨架,龍豐的供應鏈掌控力已全面貫穿。為了進一步鞏固這項核心競爭力,龍豐未來的策略亦會著眼於系統升級與源頭深耕。招股書指出,集資額將用於擴充及升級日本與韓國的採購辦事處及倉庫,從而強化海外直採能力。同時,集團將引入現代化的自動化倉儲管理系統(WMS)及升級銷售點(POS)系統。這些基礎設施的完善,將有助於更精準地管理龐大庫存、優化物流成本,使集團的營運效率更上一層樓,為利潤率的持續提升提供支撐。集資積極擴版圖,保薦人往績彪炳資本運作與股東回報的平衡,是衡量企業成熟度的重要指標。在此優勢基礎上,集團將目光投向了外延式併購,計劃利用部分集資額尋求選擇性策略投資及收購機會。無論是考慮橫向整合具備協同效應的小型零售商,還是縱向收購上游的OEM製造商以強化自家品牌,均為集團打開了新的增長維度。值得注意的是,是次上市的獨家保薦人星展亞洲融資,在香港市場往績出色,為龍豐掛牌後的表現提供了有力的信心支撐。龍豐集團憑藉行業龍頭的實力、強勁的盈利增長預測,以及優厚的派息比率,成為近期新股市場中兼顧防守性與增長潛力的優質選擇。加上獨家保薦人星展亞洲融資往績有目共睹,值得投資者多加留意。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Modern Dental Group Announces 2026 First Quarter Operational Update

HONG KONG, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Modern Dental Group Limited ("Modern Dental" or "the Group", stock code: 03600.HK), a leading global dental prosthetic devices provider, announced its operational data for the three months ended 31 March 2026.During the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’s multi-dimensional strategies as supported by the ongoing trend of digitalization in the dental industry have resulted in the Group reporting record revenue during this period. This occurred in a period of challenging macro-economic environment with general softness in demand for dental procedures, trade war and geopolitical uncertainties. The Group has been proactive in its approach to deal with the unprecedented international trade environment leveraging its international production facilities located in Thailand, Vietnam and Mainland China.Global RevenueFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total revenue of the Group increased by approximately 12.1% (approx. HK$987.5 million) compared with the three months ended 31 March 2025.^ The decrease in revenue in original currency of the North America market (ex-MicroDental) was approximately 2.3% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of MicroDental was approximately 14.6%.# The increase in revenue in original currency of the Mainland China market was approximately 1.5% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of Hong Kong market was approximately 3.7%.++ The percentage change in Others represented changes in value of Hong Kong Dollars as Others included revenue dominated in different currencies.* The revenue information above is based on the locations of the customers.** The conversion rate shall not be taken as a representation that respective original currency could actually be converted into HK$ at that rate, or at all.The increase in revenue in Europe was primarily driven by higher sales order volumes, supported by the successful launch of new products such as digital dentures and the rollout of our state-of-the-art digital workflows. As a frontrunner in providing comprehensive digital solutions — ranging from minimally invasive and aesthetic prosthetic solutions to intra-oral scanners and clear aligners — the Group is well positioned to capitalize on the accelerated digitalization trend within the dental industry.Revenue from MicroDental, our North American domestic dental laboratory business, declined due to the softer US economy, which led to reduced patient demand for high-value discretionary dental treatments, particularly implants. The Group’s revenue in the Mainland China market recorded 1.5% increase in original currency terms during the first quarter of 2026, representing a turnaround from the decline of 4.2% in 2025. The decrease in revenue in the Hong Kong market also narrowed to 3.7%, as compared to the decline of 11.5% in 2025.The Mainland China market appears to have reached the bottom of the impact from the volume-based procurement policies and a prolonged period of intense price competition. This has also led to aggressive promotions for dental implant treatments by Mainland China dental clinics in Hong Kong, which experienced a notable decrease in patient visits. The Hong Kong market is gradually moving towards stabilization in line with this trend. The Group has deliberately pivoted away from low-margin segments and remains focused on serving mid- and high-value customers, thereby ensuring the long-term sustainable profitability of the Group’s business.The increase in revenue from Australia reflected a strong uptake of digital products driven by the digitalization trend in dental industry and anti-snoring products.The increase in revenue in Others mainly represented the increase in revenue in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.Notably, positive revenue growths were achieved in higher-margin regions such as Europe and Australia, whereas revenue declined in the relatively lower-margin business of MicroDental. This favorable geographical mix shift and the appreciation of foreign currencies against Hong Kong Dollars are expected to improve the Group’s overall margin percentage.Sales Volumes (Number of Cases)For the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total sales volumes of the Group increased by approximately 4.0% to approximately 720,000 cases (three months ended 31 March 2025: approximately 692,000 cases).Digital Solution CasesFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’s digital solution cases (overseas and domestic) that are produced from its Mainland China, Thailand and Vietnam production facilities (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include digital solution cases produced in the Group’s non-Mainland China, non-Thailand and non-Vietnam production facilities or overseas/satellite dental laboratories) increased to approximately 294,712 cases reflecting an increase of 24.6% for the same period in 2025 (approximately 236,488 cases) as a result of our clients’ increased adoption of intra-oral scanners.Average Selling PriceFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the average selling price of the Group’s dental prosthetic products across its markets was HK$1,273 per case (three months ended 31 March 2025: HK$1,188), representing an increase of approximately 7.2% mainly due to the appreciation of foreign currencies against Hong Kong Dollars.Looking forward, the global digitalization trend continues to drive consolidation within the dental prosthetics industry, enabling the Group to further expand its market share. Our ongoing digital transformation initiatives are enhancing both customer and patientexperiences while improving operational efficiency, further differentiating the Group from competitors and positioning us to outperform industry peers. The Group’s underlying fundamentals remain solid, and we are well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities going forward.About Modern Dental GroupModern Dental Group Limited (Stock code: 03600.HK) is a leading global dental prosthetics provider, distributor and consultant with a focus on providing custom-made prostheses to customers in the growing prosthetics industry.

香港, 2026年5月29日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 全球領先之義齒器材供應商 - 現代牙科集團有限公司(簡稱「現代牙科」或「本集團」,股份代號: 03600.HK) 公佈截至2026年3月31日止第一季度運營數據。截至2026年3月31日止三個月,在牙科行業數碼化趨勢持續的支持下,本集團的多維度策略,使其於本期間的收益創下紀錄新高。宏觀經濟環境充滿挑戰,牙科手術的需求普遍疲弱,且貿易戰及地緣政治存在不確定性,然而仍然創下紀錄。本集團利用位於泰國、越南及中國內地的國際生產設施,積極應對前所未有的國際貿易環境。全球收益截至2026年3月31日止三個月,本集團之收益總額(約9.9億港元)較截至2025年3月31日止三個月(約8.8億港元)增加約12.1%。^ 北美市場(MicroDental除外)以原列值貨幣的收益減少約2.3%,而MicroDental以原列值貨幣的收益減少約14.6%。# 中國內地市場以原列值貨幣的收益增加約1.5%,而香港市場以原列值貨幣的收益減少約3.7%。++ 其他市場的百分比變動主要反映港幣價值的變化,因為其他市場包含以不同貨幣計價的收益。* 上述收益資料乃按客戶所在地區呈列。** 匯率不可視作表示有關原列值貨幣可實際按該匯率轉換至港元,甚或完全不可轉換。歐洲收益的增長主要受較高的銷售訂單量推動,並得益於新產品(如數碼化義齒)的成功推出,以及我們最先進的數碼化流程的推廣。作為提供全面數碼解決方案的先驅-範圍涵蓋多項微創及美容義齒解決方案以至口腔內部掃描儀及透明矯正器-本集團已準備好把握牙科行業數碼化趨勢加速帶來的機遇。來自MicroDental(我們在北美的本土牙科實驗室業務)的收益下跌,主要由於美國經濟走弱,導致患者對高價值、非必需牙科療程的需求減少,尤其是植牙。本集團於中國內地市場的收益在2026年第一季度按原列值貨幣計算錄得1.5%的增長,較2025年錄得的4.2%跌幅出現反轉。香港市場的收益跌幅亦收窄至3.7%,相較於2025年的11.5%跌幅有所改善。中國內地市場受帶量採購政策及長期激烈價格競爭的影響似乎已觸底。這亦導致中國內地牙科診所在香港積極推廣種植牙療程,令香港患者到診人次顯著下降。香港市場正隨此趨勢逐步走向穩定。本集團有意退出低利潤分部,並專注於中及高價值客戶,確保本集團業務能夠長期及可持續獲利。澳洲收益的增加反映了數位產品的強勁需求,主要受牙科行業數碼化趨勢及防鼾產品推動。其他市場收益的增加主要來自泰國、新加坡及馬來西亞的收益增長。值得注意的是,在歐洲及澳洲等高利潤率地區錄得正面收益增長,而相對低利潤業務的MicroDental則出現收益下降。這種有利的地理組合轉變,加上外幣兌港幣升值,預期將提升本集團的整體利潤率百分比。銷量(件數)截至2026年3月31日止三個月,本集團之銷量總數增加約4.0%至約720,000件(截至2025年3月31日止三個月:約692,000件)。數碼化個案截至2026年3月31日止三個月,本集團於中國內地、泰國、越南生產廠房生產之數碼化解決方案個案(海外及國內)(為免生歧義,不包括於本集團非中國內地、非泰國、非越南生產廠房或海外╱衛星牙科實驗室生產之數碼化解決方案個案)增加至約294,712件,較2025年同期(約236,488件)增加24.6%,原因為更多客戶採用口腔內部掃描儀。平均售價截至2026年3月31日止三個月,本集團市場上義齒產品之平均售價為每件1,273港元(截至2025年3月31日止三個月:1,188港元),增加約7.2%,主要由於外幣兌港元升值。展望未來,全球數碼化趨勢持續推義齒行業的整合,使本集團進一步擴大其市場份額。我們持續的數碼轉型措施提升客戶及病人體驗的同時,進一步使本集團在競爭對手中脫穎而出,表現優於同業。本集團的相關基礎持續穩固,並將全力以赴以進一步把握未來機遇。關於現代牙科集團現代牙科集團有限公司 (股份代號: 03600.HK) 為全球領先的義齒器材供應商、經銷商和顧問,專注於發展迅速的義齒行業為客戶提供定制式義齒。我們的產品組合大致可分為三類﹕固定義齒器材,例如牙冠及牙橋;活動義齒器材,例如活動義齒;及其他器材,例如正畸類器材、透明牙套、運動防護器及防鼾器。現代牙科集團擁有多個備受稱許的全球品牌,包括西歐的Labocast、Permadental及Elysee Dental、中國的洋紫荊牙科器材、香港的現代牙科器材、美國的Modern Dental USA及MicroDental、澳洲及紐西蘭的Modern Dental Pacific、新加坡的Modern Dental SG、台灣的 Modern Dental TW、馬來西亞的 Apex Digital Dental及泰國的Hexa Ceram等。我們提供穩定和優質的產品及卓越的客戶服務,令這些公司品牌能茁壯成長。我們於全球超過 28個國家擁有超過 80 家服務中心及服務逾 35,000 名客戶。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Confimarket Wins HackCanton Season 1 with Privacy-Preserving Consensus and Market Intelligence Infrastructure Built on Canton Network

NEW YORK, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Confimarket, backed and incubated by WebWise Capital, is pioneering confidential consensus discovery and information-aggregation infrastructure for institutional participants requiring strict privacy, robust market structures, and advanced financial workflows. Built on the Canton Network, the privacy-preserving market intelligence platform secured first place at the inaugural HackCanton Season 1 grand final, emerging victorious from a competitive global pool of more than 300 development teams across 15 countries.Confimarket, a privacy-preserving prediction market built on Canton Network, has won first place at HackCanton Season 1 after advancing through a competitive field of more than 300 builders from over 15 countries.The project was selected as the first-place winner following the grand final of HackCanton Season 1, an ecosystem hackathon organized by AppsFactory and focused on DeFi, RWA, DAO & Governance, and AI applications for Canton Network.Confimarket is being developed as a prediction market for serious capital and demanding participants. Its core thesis is that prediction markets become materially more valuable when users can participate without exposing sensitive strategy, intent, or positioning to the broader market.Prediction markets have already shown their ability to aggregate information at scale. However, many high-value participants — including professional traders, institutions, analysts, and organizations with sensitive views — may be reluctant to participate in fully transparent public markets. Confimarket is designed around that gap: market-based information discovery with privacy-preserving participation, credible settlement, and infrastructure suitable for more advanced financial workflows."Prediction markets are one of the most important categories in crypto because they turn information, belief, and probability into tradable markets. But the next stage of the category requires better infrastructure for participants who cannot expose their strategies or positions publicly," said Alexander I, General Partner at WebWise Capital. "That is the opportunity we see with Confimarket: confidential prediction markets built for more serious capital, stronger market structure, and institutional-grade use cases."Canton Network is a natural environment for this model because it combines privacy, interoperability, and an architecture designed for synchronized financial markets. Canton describes itself as the first privacy-enabled open blockchain network, built to preserve privacy while allowing participants to exchange data and value across connected applications.Canton Network has also been attracting prominent financial institutions and ecosystem participants. Official Canton materials list organizations such as J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BNY, BNP Paribas, Bank of America, and others in the broader ecosystem. For Confimarket, this makes Canton a strategically relevant foundation: the network is designed around privacy-preserving financial infrastructure rather than general-purpose public-chain transparency.During HackCanton Season 1, Confimarket refined its product thesis, shipped core functionality, gathered user feedback, and strengthened the architecture behind the platform. The team used the hackathon as an early proving ground for confidential prediction market workflows on Canton Network, with a focus on market creation, trading logic, settlement flows, and the user experience required to make prediction markets accessible to higher-value participants.The hackathon win represents an early ecosystem validation signal for Confimarket as the project moves from prototype development toward product readiness. The grand final and judging process provided feedback from Canton ecosystem leaders, venture investors, infrastructure companies, and industry participants.Projects at HackCanton Season 1 were evaluated by representatives from the Canton Foundation as well as venture and industry participants including DWF Ventures, LongHash, Scytale Digital, Jsquare VC, Quantstamp, and Chainlink Labs.Following the hackathon, Confimarket is focused on completing its trading engine, improving the user interface and onboarding flow, preparing private beta access, and working toward liquidity and ecosystem partnerships. The team's next phase is centered on turning the hackathon-winning prototype into a product that can support real prediction market activity, privacy-preserving participation, and institutional-grade use cases.Confimarket is also continuing to position itself within the Canton ecosystem as a prediction market layer for use cases where privacy, credible execution, and market-based forecasting are essential.Follow Confimarket on X for product updates, ecosystem announcements, and launch news, or explore the live app at confimarket.io.About ConfimarketConfimarket is a privacy-preserving prediction market built on Canton Network.

七年後,星際大戰最被低估的英雄將以出人意料的方式回歸

Respawn Entertainment(SeaPRwire) -   在阿索卡·塔諾與埃茲拉·布里傑的真人版首次登場,或是路克·天行者以深度偽造技術在《曼達洛人》中回歸之前,現代星際大戰時代並沒有太多絕地武士的代表性角色。續集之後,這個系列將時鐘撥回到《西斯的復仇》與《新的希望》之間的混沌時期,當時絕地武士團幾乎已滅絕。正是在這個空白中,《絕地:組織殞落》的可玩主角卡爾·凱斯蒂斯誕生了。當時,他只是少數倖存於66號命令事件的絕地武士之一,在突然充滿敵意的銀河系中開闢新的道路。但他仍然成為了死忠粉絲心中的最愛,並且在出道後的幾年裡,他的潛力只增不減。卡爾在《組織殞落》及其續集《絕地:倖存者》中的冒險,以多種方式支撐著這個系列。當《曼達洛人》及其鬆散的衍生作品探討帝國的滅亡時,《絕地》系列遊戲從《叛軍》等故事中接過接力棒,保留了Disney+節目所缺乏的宏偉氣勢。僅《組織殞落》就證明了銀河系的這個角落足以獨立存在——但《倖存者》透過讓卡爾與一些熟悉的面孔搭檔,展現了他的跨作品吸引力。在索·葛瑞拉和波巴·費特在卡爾的故事中客串後,粉絲們好奇卡爾最終是否會在真人版故事中回報這份情誼,或者他是否會在另一款《絕地》遊戲中遇見更多經典角色。《倖存者》發布至今已三年,關於卡爾的未來並沒有確切消息。不過,根據Disney代表的說法,《倖存者》絕不是這位絕地武士的終點。《絕地:倖存者》並非卡爾·凱斯蒂斯的終點——但這位英雄的下一步是什麼? | Respawn/Entertainment Arts在與《GameRant》的對話中,一位未具名的Disney代表確認,在規劃新故事時,卡爾·凱斯蒂斯仍然是優先考慮的對象。當被問及卡爾的未來時,這位代表說:「永遠不要說不可能。我們在主題公園裡展示了他的光劍,而且還有更多卡爾的故事即將到來。」這些「故事」之一可能是《星際大戰 絕地 3》,這是Respawn系列的第三款(也可能是最後一款)遊戲,已開發多年。2023年底,莫納漢確認他已開始參與這款遊戲的工作——儘管同年首席導演斯蒂格·阿斯穆森的離職可能對製作造成了打擊。與Respawn Entertainment共同製作《絕地》系列遊戲的Electronic Arts,在一輪裁員中裁減了超過600名員工,也讓這些遊戲面臨危機。此後關於《星際大戰 絕地 3》的更新不多;儘管這款遊戲遲早有機會推出,但卡爾接下來可能出現的「故事」可能根本不是遊戲。以真實演員為角色原型的好處在於,同一演員也可以出現在真人版中。粉絲們長期以來一直猜測卡爾倖存下來,見證了帝國的滅亡和新共和國的崛起,這將使他能夠出現在曼達洛宇宙的某個節目中、導演戴夫·菲洛尼即將推出的以索龍為中心的電影中,或是他自己的冒險故事中。如果《GameRant》的匿名Disney代表所言屬實,那麼卡爾的可能性幾乎是無限的——只要Lucasfilm沒有忘記這個角色。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。

根據其導演:你需要知道的關於『Backrooms』的資訊

A24(SeaPRwire) -   在恐怖電影的世界裡,Backrooms 是全新的東西。但在網路上,Backrooms 已經確立了地位,擁有 24 個官方章節和數千小時的粉絲自製內容,以及維基上數量可觀的原始設定。正如 Inverse 的 Chrishaun Baker 在 Backrooms 電影預告片首次發布時所解釋的那樣,Backrooms 的設定既來自社群貢獻——這種現象起源於一個致力於「讓人感覺『不對勁』的不安圖像」的留言板——也由作者主導。 21 歲的 Kane Parsons 是該設定的關鍵架構師,也是構成這部新的 A24 電影骨幹的 Backrooms YouTube 系列的創作者。所以我們問了他:剛接觸 Backrooms 的觀眾在看電影前是否應該先補習一些解說影片?如果是的話,有哪些關鍵資訊需要知道?Parsons 告訴 Inverse,這是他「長期以來一直在爭論和掙扎的問題」,並指出他在過去幾年中花了「大部分時間」思考該系列的連續性和神話體系。「希望一直是能創作出一部既適合我的觀眾,也適合對 Backrooms 一無所知的人的電影,」他補充道。 話雖如此,這個故事「建立在既有內容之上,所以如果你是原作的粉絲,它本來就會更有吸引力,因為你可以欣賞螢幕上呈現內容背後的一些結構細節,」Parsons 說,並補充說這部電影「為之前花時間接觸過 [Backrooms] 的人提供了更深一層的深度」,同時對新觀眾來說也容易理解。 新角色Chiwetel Ejiofor 在 Backrooms 中。| A24Backrooms 這部電影透過引入兩個新角色來做到這一點:Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor 飾演),他是經營一家名為 Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire 的生意慘淡的傢俱店店主,最近離婚且鬱鬱寡歡;以及他的治療師 Dr. Mary Kline (Renate Reinsve 飾演)。隨後的故事情節相當簡單:Clark 透過他店鋪地下室的一個傳送門發現了 Backrooms;他把這件事告訴了 Mary,這讓她擔心他的心理健康;她跟著他進入了 Backrooms,在那裡發生了可怕的事情。當然,這是簡化版本。但它確實指出了該系列中對電影很重要的一些概念,例如...No-ClippingRenate Reinsve 準備進行 no-clip。| A24首先是「no-clipping」,這是一個取自電子遊戲並為 Backrooms 重新賦予用途的術語。在遊戲中,它指的是允許玩家穿牆而過的故障;在這裡它的意思基本相同,因為 Clark 確實是透過他傢俱展示廳牆壁上的一個軟弱點,跌跌撞撞地進入了 Backrooms 的異世界。這是一個他後來用電膠帶標記起來的位置,讓其他人可以跟著他進入(並且,關鍵是,走出)這個怪誕的現實世界。 實體走廊盡頭潛伏著一個實體嗎?| A24Backrooms 開場是一個獨立的場景,該場景模仿了 Parsons 原始的「The Backrooms (Found Footage)」,這是一場第一人稱的惡夢,開始時一位看不見的攝影師在 Backrooms 中具體化,然後,嗯,崩潰了——在那種情況下我們都會這樣。就在那時,我們發現了幾個「實體」中的第一個,它們從黑暗的角落和深處的陰影中出現,以驚嚇 Backrooms 中的漫遊者——後來這包括了 Clark 的員工 Kat (Lukita Maxwell 飾演) 和她的男朋友 Bobby (Finn Bennett 飾演),然後是 Dr. Kline。 電影中發現的第一個實體看起來像一隻巨大的蜘蛛與 Star Wars 中的 AT-AT Walker 的混合物,但在 Backrooms 中潛伏著數百個實體,其中還有幾個出現在電影中。(不劇透是哪些。)它們來自哪裡?它們想要什麼?這些都留得很模糊,這也是恐怖的一部分。 Async每個人在 Backrooms 的旅程都不同。| A24Parsons 的 Backrooms 系列中另一個關鍵的設定是 Async,這是一家前生物醫學公司,自從轉型透過位於加州聖荷西總部的一個名為「閾值」的人工創建的維度傳送門來探索 Backrooms 後,它捲入了一些非常怪異的事情。 關於 Async 的起源和目的大部分仍然是個謎,在不透露任何劇透的情況下,電影只回答了圍繞它的一些問題——儘管它確實對關於 Backrooms 性質的長期粉絲爭論給出了明確的答案,即它是一個巨大的綜合體,還是一個分層的無限綜合體系列,每個都由探索它的人塑造。 就 Ejiofor 而言,他對系列設定採取了一種非傳統的方法:「我認為你也可以反過來做,先看電影,然後再深入鑽研,」他告訴 Inverse。「我認為很多人會這樣做。」 由 A24 發行,Backrooms 於 5 月 29 日在影院上映。 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。

現代尖叫女王在年度最失控殺手恐怖片中演出人生最優秀表演

Bleecker Street(SeaPRwire) -   過去數年來,時常被封為「尖叫女王」的麥卡·夢露(Maika Monroe)作為演員的實力已逐漸嶄露鋒芒。她在 Longlegs 中飾演擁有通靈能力的FBI探員李·哈克(Lee Harker)的表現是職業生涯一大亮點,而她的最新作品 Victorian Psycho則為這位明星的演藝事業寫下新的高峰。夢露所飾演的古怪家庭教師薇妮弗德·諾蒂(Winifred Notty)——如果你把連環殺人歸類為「古怪」的話——帶有一觸即發的神經質特質,當禮教要求她保持沉默時,她會透過歪脖子、扯動單側嘴角來傳達角色的真實感受。由於故事背景設定在1858年左右的英國貴族鄉村宅邸,片中處處可見需要遵守的繁文縟節。薇妮弗德來到名為恩索宅邸(Ensor House)的精美石造建築應徵家庭教師一職。她前兩份工作負責照顧的上流階層孩子都在離奇狀況下死亡,但總是滿腹牢騷的龐茲先生(傑森·艾薩克 Jason Isaacs 飾)和習慣性冷漠殘酷的龐茲太太(露絲·威爾森 Ruth Wilson 飾)不需要知道這件事。只要孩子們能被嚇得乖乖聽話,並且不會告訴父母她那些不符合傳統的教導內容就好——她當著年幼的安德魯(雅各布·朱普 Jacobi Jupe 飾)和德里西拉(伊維·坦普爾頓 Evie Templeton 飾)的面刺死一隻小鹿後,告訴兩人「所有生物都時時刻刻承受著痛苦」——這樣一切都會沒事,「那件事」也不會再發生。只不過薇妮弗德內心的黑暗從未熄滅,幾乎可斷定「那件事」肯定會再次上演。編劇維吉尼亞·費托(Virginia Feito)將自己的小說改編為 Victorian Psycho的電影版本,片中許多最令人驚豔的台詞都直接摘自原著。儘管兩部作品劇情毫無關聯,Victorian Psycho和布萊特·伊斯頓·艾利斯(Bret Easton Ellis)的American Psycho確實有一個共同點:兩者的第一人稱敘事者不僅不可信,還患有精神病。她同時也非常機智,夢露為電影大半片段擔任旁白,以薇妮弗德的口吻說出毫不費力的華麗bon mots(機智妙語),是觀看本片最大的樂趣之一。除了這些精闢的台詞之外,夢露的演技同樣出色:她的表演收放自如,和角色的瘋狂狀態形成強烈對比,當她盯上獵物時會雙臂僵硬地走路,當血開始四濺時則會露出幸福滿足的笑容。她的語氣溫柔,眼神卻十分冰冷。她不斷出現解離症狀,又猛地被拉回現實。而攝影機從一開始就極具流動性,隨著薇妮弗德的精神逐漸飄散,攝影風格也變得越來越焦躁不安。夢露臉部表情的細微變化至關重要:受折磨的鬼魂的呻吟聲、壁爐中神秘符號噼啪爆裂的畫面都清楚傳達出薇妮弗德的瘋狂,但真正說服觀眾的是夢露那呆滯、恍惚的遙遠眼神。不過她所處的現實也不值得留戀。薇妮弗德在開場獨白中戲謔地說:「我是我認識的人裡最正常的。」而她所處的上流社會客觀來說確實非常瘋狂。舉例來說,龐茲先生是狂熱的顱相學支持者,龐茲太太覺得剪下廚房女僕的頭髮當蒼蠅拍是完全沒有問題的事。片中莊園的男主人和女主人舉辦木乃伊觀賞派對的場景,有效傳達出維多利亞時代上流階級病態的冷漠,儘管那些關於教育會影響女性生育能力、生女兒毫無用處的隨口玩笑可能會顯得重複,但這些內容確實符合史實。導演扎卡里·維貢(Zachary Wigon)在Victorian Psycho中使用了許多他在處女作Sanctuary中用過的拍攝手法。在《Sanctuary》中,俯拍鏡頭和精確的畫面旋轉是為了掩蓋電影全程都在同一個房間拍攝的事實;而在本片中,這些手法承載了更多主題意涵,用來傳達薇妮弗德腦中難以承受的混亂。話雖如此,本片的場景範圍十分狹窄,從未超出薇妮弗德惹龐茲太太生氣時會去睡的狗屋,或是莊園夜間的豬圈之外。(豬什麼都吃)這為電影帶來一種幽閉恐懼的感覺,完美營造出「不是我被困在這裡和你們在一起,是你們被困在這裡和我在一起」的氛圍。Victorian Psycho只有一個部分可以做得更好,而且是很大的一個部分:電影在血腥場面的呈現上點到為止,只有頸動脈噴出的血、濺在昂貴壁紙上的血跡,並沒有深入刻畫駭人的細節。(不過話說回來,或許不要特寫嬰兒喉嚨被割開的畫面也是好事)本片同樣著重充滿沉浸感、華麗的攝影手法,夢露在龐茲家中一路揮刀砍殺時,她的長洋裝腰部位置安裝了隨身攝影機支架來進行拍攝。不可否認,這些內容可能有點過於密集,Victorian Psycho 毫無疑問會有批評者,也會有忠實粉絲。電影整體氛圍是通俗誇張、瘋狂過度的,是近年快速興起的「她做得好」次類型電影中很大膽的一部,這類型作品著重描寫女性對父權壓迫做出暴力反擊的故事。本片是一種罪惡的快感,但至少是適合有文化素養的觀眾的罪惡快感,主演這部作品的女演員才剛剛開始展現她所有的表演潛力。Victorian Psycho 在2026年坎城影展「一種注目」單元首映,將於9月25日在戲院上映。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。

2000年代最被低估的教派經典懸疑片剛剛進行了重大的升級

Lions Gate/Tmn/Telefilm Canada/Kobal/Shutterstock(SeaPRwire) -   令人困惑的事物往往令人恐懼,所以難怪女孩生命中最令人困惑的階段之一——青春期——經常被用於恐怖題材。在《魔女嘉莉》中,女孩成為女人的宗教羞恥感表現為念力。在《詹妮弗的肉體》中,厭女症和女性的性化助燃了魅魔的憤怒。但在 2000 年,一部鮮為人知的加拿大電影將姐妹情誼、成長和女性憤怒,投射在一個完全合理的鏡頭下:狼人變身。 《變種女狼》講述了病態的青少年 Ginger (Katharine Isabelle 飾) 和 Brigitte (Emily Perkins 飾) 惹怒了一隻野狗,這隻狗被 Ginger 初經的氣味吸引。在接下來的幾天裡,Brigitte 看著她的姐姐變成了某種超凡脫俗的東西,包括長出了尾巴和毛髮。當 Ginger 應對她的新食慾時,Brigitte 必須決定她的姐姐是否值得保護,或者她是否需要保護世界免受她姐姐的侵害。 《變種女狼》是一部結合了千禧年垃圾搖滾美學與經典超自然起源故事的邪典經典電影。現在,您可以在藍光光碟和 4K 上擁有這部成長憤怒驚悚片,使其比以往任何時候都更加直擊人心。 《變種女狼》發行時的反響如何?《變種女狼》在電影節巡迴首映時並未引起太多關注,但那些看過它的人立刻認出它作為邪典經典的潛力。「導演 John Fawcett 銘記在心的是《獨領風騷》的尖刻態度,更不用說電視劇《魔法奇兵》的類型融合智慧,」Entertainment Weekly 的 Lisa Schwarzbaum 在 2001 年寫道。「它值得在喜愛諷刺、具有女性主義思維的血腥愛好者中擁有一批追隨者,他們欣賞一條製作精良的人類尾巴。」《紐約時報》的 Dave Kehr 表示同意,他說:「《變種女狼》不可避免地反映了加拿大偉大恐怖電影製作人 David Cronenberg 的影響,特別是在這部電影將人體視為所有恐怖的真正來源的方式上。但 Cronenberg 先生將這種見解轉化為黑暗詩歌,而 Fawcett 先生本質上是一個狡猾、冷面笑匠式的諷刺作家,具有獨特的感性和自己充滿希望的才華。」 在接下來的幾年裡,《變種女狼》積累了足夠的人氣,催生了兩部連續拍攝的續集,並於 2004 年發布。《變種女狼2:釋放》是一部直接的續集,而《變種女狼回顧:開端》則講述了 Ginger 和 Brigitte 作為她們自己在 19 世紀加拿大的相同祖先的故事。為什麼現在看《變種女狼》很重要?Ginger 從女孩到女人、從女人到狼人的轉變使她與姐姐的關係緊張。 | Sophie Giraud/Lions Gate/Tmn/Telefilm Canada/Kobal/Shutterstock不幸的是,《變種女狼》在今天與 2000 年一樣具有現實意義。隨著社交媒體的興起,做一個青少年女孩比以往任何時候都更難,而且變成一隻你不認識的動物的感覺是真正永恆的。正如 Ginger 所說,「一個女孩只能是蕩婦、婊子、戲弄者或隔壁的處女」,這是一種不會消失的電影趨勢,從《失蹤罪》到《芭比》再到《花樣女子》。 它的遺產是不可否認的:除了續集,這部電影已將自己確立在加拿大恐怖片和獨立恐怖片的領域中。Katharine Isabelle 和 Emily Perkins 甚至在 2008 年的 Disney 電影《灰姑娘的姐姐》中飾演繼姐妹,巧妙地致敬了她們之前的銀幕姐妹情誼。 這個經典故事甚至可能在四分之一個世紀後找到新生。早在 2020 年,Deadline 就報導稱,一部《變種女狼》電視劇正在製作中,原導演 John Fawcett 擔任執行製片人。直到幾天前,該項目都沒有更新,當時 Fawcett 告訴 Dread Central,該劇集「現在仍然是一個非常熱門的話題」。 「這是我的熱情專案,」他說。「這是一項正在進行的工作,但這是一條漫長而曲折的道路。正如我們所說,有一些熱度和一些創意頭腦正在從事這項工作。」所以如果您還沒有看過這隻隱藏的寶石,現在是趕上潮流的時候了。《變種女狼》藍光光碟有哪些新功能?Vestron 發行的《變種女狼》實體版本包括各種特別功能,包括: 導演 John Fawcett 的音頻評論編劇 Karen Walton 的音頻評論《變種女狼:血、牙齒和毛髮》特輯「成長的煩惱:恐怖電影中的青春期」特輯「幕後製作」特輯演員試鏡和排練怪物的創作成為 John Fawcett美術設計藝術品刪除片段電視廣告電影院預告片變種女狼– VESTRON 收藏家系列 4KLionsgate Limited - 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。

Radisson Announces Closing of Bought Deal Financing for $25 Million

Toronto, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - May 28, 2026) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced "bought deal" private placement pursuant to which the Company issued a total of 18,115,797 Class A common shares of the Company that each qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) as part of a charity arrangement (the "FT Shares"), at a price of $1.38 per FT Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $24,999,800 (the "Offering"). The 18,115,797 FT Shares issued under the Offering include 2,174,000 FT Shares issued and sold pursuant to the full exercise of the option granted by the Company to the Underwriters.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "We are very grateful for the strong support demonstrated for this financing from existing and new shareholders. In October 2025, we expanded our successful deep, step-out drill program at the O'Brien Gold Project to what will be an eventual 140,000 metres with up to eight drill rigs. The drill program is ongoing, and in March of this year we demonstrated its value with an interim, and meaningful, increase in the estimate of the Project's mineral resources. With this financing completed, we can now (i) plan the expansion and extension of our drilling through to the end of 2027, (ii) manage our capital resources more efficiently with our "flow-through" eligible exploration expenditures, and (iii) establish a strong treasury to support project development activities and project de-risking. In particular, our step-out drilling ambition is to go deeper. Until now, our exploration horizon has been to a floor of 2 kilometers depth. Results to date indicate extensive gold mineralization with good continuity beneath the former mine and the current mineral resources to at least 1.9 kilometers depth (see Radisson news release dated April 30, 2026). Given the character of neighboring gold deposits and the wealth of mining infrastructure within or close to the O'Brien Gold Project, we now intend to extend our exploration to a depth of 2.5 kilometers with new deep drilling and directional wedging. We believe that O'Brien gold mineralization has the potential to extend to at least these depths, that such mineralization offers the potential for significant new mineral resources in excess of our current exploration target, and that these mineral resources might be reasonably expected to be developed." The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as both terms are defined in the Tax Act) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") in connection with the exploration of the O'Brien Gold Project, including deep drilling beyond the scope of the current program, on or before December 31, 2027. The Company will renounce all such Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective December 31, 2026. In the event the Company is unable to renounce Qualifying Expenditures effective on or prior to December 31, 2026 for each FT Share purchased in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares, the Company will indemnify each FT Share subscriber, as applicable, for the additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.The Offering was completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated May 28, 2026 between the Company and a syndicate of underwriters led by ATB Cormark Capital Markets (collectively, the "Underwriters"). In consideration for the services provided to the Company in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters received an aggregate cash commission equal to $1,316,792.99, representing (i) 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering with respect to the FT Shares sold to purchasers not on the President's List, and (ii) 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering with respect to the FT Shares sold to purchasers on the President's List, provided that no commission was paid with respect to certain U.S. Purchasers under the President's List (the "Cash Commission"). The Cash Commission was paid by the Company with existing cash on hand.The Offering remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), the FT Shares have been offered for sale to purchasers resident in all provinces of Canada pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 - Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"). The FT Shares issued under the Offering to purchasers resident in Canada under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will not be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.An amended offering document related to the Offering and the use by the Company of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption can be accessed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.radissonmining.com.This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful, including any of the securities in the United States.

President Lula da Silva reaffirms his opposition to online gaming in Brazil amid reelection campaign

(AsiaGameHub) -   Lula da Silva emphasized that he does not possess the sole authority to ban online gaming. Brazil.- President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has once again voiced his disapproval of the online gambling industry as his reelection campaign progresses. Speaking on the state broadcaster TV Brasil’s Sem Censura program, the Workers’ Party leader pointed out that the matter was not entirely within his purview but stated: “If it were up to the president, I would have said this during the campaign. I am in favour of shutting down all those betting sites that are not providing any useful service to this country”. Lula’s campaign messaging has frequently targeted online betting. He has consistently identified gambling as a contributor to household debt, a position that resonates with the country’s evangelical demographic. Reflecting on his decision to sign Brazil’s online gambling legislation in late December 2023, Lula contended that any veto of the bill passed by Congress would likely have been overridden. Highlighting the limitations of his power, he remarked: “It’s not up to me; I don’t own Brazil. Just as I say that [Donald] Trump doesn’t own the world, I don’t own Brazil. I am the President of the Republic. I am part of a tripartite system of institutions that governs the country. There is the National Congress and there is the judiciary.” Lula asserted that the government had successfully shut down over 90 per cent of illegal betting operations, while acknowledging that half of the market remains unregulated. He also addressed advertising regulations, arguing that betting platforms should adhere to the same standards as other industries, and called for enhanced consumer protections and financial education, characterizing gambling as a public health concern. “Gambling is a disease, an addiction,” he warned. New bills seek ban on gambling ads Concurrently, The Mixed Parliamentary Front for the Promotion of Mental Health, comprised of 20 federal deputies and seven senators from various parties, has introduced two bills proposing a ban on gambling advertising and sponsorship of sports and cultural events. These bills will be processed concurrently in the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate. The parliamentarians have dubbed the initiative “Brazil Against Bets”. The group’s president, Deputy Pedro Campos (PSB-PE), informed Agência Brasil that the Parliamentary Front desires a swift evaluation of the agenda. “People are overwhelmed, including by betting advertising in general. Beyond the problem of gambling and people’s illnesses, and family debt, the excessive advertising itself is something that has bothered the population,” stated Campos. In the justification for the bill, the congressman from Pernambuco criticized football commentators who are sponsored by gambling companies and offer betting tips. Meanwhile, congresswoman Tabata Amaral also commented on the issue: “We are dealing with something that is making the Brazilian population sick. Very rarely have I seen such an effective and united lobby of resources,” she declared. The National Association of Games and Lotteries (ANJL) and the Brazilian Institute of Responsible Gaming (IBJR), two organizations representing licensed betting companies in the country, have voiced their opposition to the proposals. The Brazilian Association of Illegal Gambling (ANJL) cautioned that such a ban would “represent the greatest and most serious incentive for the operation of illegal platforms”. The association highlighted that unlicensed platforms, which according to data from the Instituto Esfera constitute 52 per cent of the market, “operate without any oversight, offer no consumer protection, do not prevent access by minors, have no policies against indebtedness, and do not contribute to society through tax collection or support for the sports and cultural sectors.” The Brazilian Institute of Online Gambling (IBJR) stated that advertising is “a legitimate and necessary tool for any regulated sector of the economy – including online betting.” The Institute asserts that advertising plays a direct role in consumer protection, helping to distinguish companies committed to responsible gambling from those that “operate clandestinely, without offering guarantees, consumer protection, or returns to society.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Increase in Gambling Treatment Cases in the Netherlands

(AsiaGameHub) -   In 2025, gambling was the sole category to experience a substantial increase in the demand for treatment. The Netherlands.- Reports indicate that the Netherlands experienced another marked increase in individuals seeking treatment for gambling addiction over the past year. The number of cases rose by 13 per cent compared to the previous year, reaching 3,108, compared to 2,750 in 2024. According to the statistics, this growth was almost exclusively fueled by online gambling. The information was provided by LADIS, the national monitoring body for specialized addiction services, and released by the healthcare data foundation IVZ. Gambling was the only type of addiction to record a significant surge in treatment requests. In total, specialized services reporting to the monitor provided care to nearly 68,000 individuals for addiction in 2025, a figure that remains virtually stable compared to the year prior. Alcohol continued to be the primary addiction, representing 43 per cent of all cases, a figure that climbed to 60 per cent for those aged 55 and older. Among those under 25, cannabis was the most prevalent issue. Approximately half of the individuals pursuing assistance for gambling were new patients, which indicates a rise in the number of people developing gambling-related issues rather than a relapse among those previously treated. This upward trajectory persists, following a trend that emerged in 2023 after a multi-year decline between 2019 and 2022. Although the number of clinics participating in the LADIS network has grown, this factor does not fully explain the increase. The report notes that the rise was also observed among service providers that have consistently submitted data since 2016. The LADIS figures are limited to those receiving specialized treatment and do not reflect the broader population. Furthermore, not every service provider submits data to LADIS. The Dutch online gambling market has been regulated since October 2021. The initial period following the market's opening prompted concerns regarding the volume of gambling advertisements. However, regulations have since been substantially strengthened, including a 2023 prohibition on untargeted gambling commercials and a ban on sports-related gambling sponsorships that took effect last year. Additionally, the nation has implemented player loss limits, with standard monthly caps set at €350 for those over 24 and €150 for those under 24, though players may apply for higher limits. Since its inception alongside the regulated online sector, more than 100,000 individuals have registered with Cruks, the national self-exclusion database for gambling.

SBC Summit Americas to focus on evolving affiliate landscape in Latin America

(AsiaGameHub) -   The Latin America Marketing & Affiliates track at the upcoming SBC Summit Americas will examine how affiliates are adjusting to a more competitive and mature regional gaming sector, with a focus on localization, player retention, innovative content, and the development of long-term operator partnerships. Press release.- SBC Summit Americas is set to analyze how affiliates can navigate the rapidly changing gaming environment in Latin America through its specialized Latin America Marketing & Affiliates conference track, scheduled for Thursday, June 11, at the Broward County Convention Centre. As regional operators increasingly prioritize localization, player retention, and long-term value, this track will investigate how affiliates are refining their acquisition tactics, content delivery, and commercial collaborations to maintain a competitive edge in a maturing market. This track is a component of the broader six-stage conference agenda at SBC Summit Americas, which encompasses sports betting, casino, leadership, affiliation, player protection, technology, and payments, with each stage rotating between Latin and North American focuses throughout the two-day event. Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and founder of SBC, stated: “Latin America continues to offer significant potential for affiliates, though achieving success in the region is becoming increasingly complex.” He added: “Operators are moving beyond a simple desire for high-volume traffic. They are seeking partners who possess a deep understanding of local audiences, the ability to produce engaging and credible content, and the capacity to contribute to long-term player value. This track will provide attendees with practical insights into how these shifting expectations are transforming affiliate marketing across the region.” A highlight session, Affiliate Leaders 2026: Strategies for the Next Wave of Growth, will explore how affiliates are pivoting as the Latin American gaming market transitions from a phase of explosive growth to one of strategic maturity. Panelists Florencia Brancato (Chief Strategy Officer, Azar Latino) and Pablo Espuela (Head of Corporate Development, BETANDEAL) will discuss the evolution of acquisition strategies, operator demands, and regional market priorities, while identifying which areas hold the most promise for long-term success. The session Emerging Channels and Formats: Diversifying Your Output will pivot to how affiliates are leveraging mobile-first, immersive content to engage a new generation of players. Panelists Cristian Barbosa (COO & Co-Founder, InsightPlay.ai), Matheus Estrella (Head of Latam, Z2A Digital), Miguel Gonzalez (Director Comercial, Byads), Christopher Guzman (Head of Affiliates, Logrand), and Alex Junior (Head of Business & Brand, TREVO Influencia) will examine the role of short-form video and live streaming, as well as how niche content can foster greater trust with target audiences. The track will also address the changing dynamics between operators and affiliates in Latin America. The The Operator / Affiliate Partnership Imperative: From Acquisition Volume to Player Value panel, featuring Christopher Guzman (Head of Affiliates, Logrand), André Machado (CCO, Clever Advertising), and Felipe Maturana (Media & Sponsorship, Jugabet), will discuss the industry's shift away from CPA-centric acquisition toward partnerships built on localization, retention, and long-term player value. In addition to the conference sessions, affiliates at SBC Summit Americas will have numerous opportunities to engage directly with marketing teams, affiliate managers, and operators from across the region through exhibition floor discussions, meetings, and networking events aimed at fostering regional collaboration and new commercial partnerships. For affiliates seeking to strengthen their operator connections, SBC Connections formats such as The Briefings will provide a targeted approach to meeting key contacts. These topic-specific lunch and breakfast sessions will cover subjects including AdTech, affiliate marketing, CRM, and player acquisition, allowing delegates to move past casual networking and connect with peers sharing similar commercial objectives.

Resilient Demand Drives Hong Kong Exports Amid Headwinds

HONG KONG, May 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong’s merchandise exports rose by 42.9% year-on-year to HK$620.9 billion in April 2026, according to data released today by the Census and Statistics Department. For the first four months of 2026, total exports of goods reached HK$2,166.4 billion, representing robust growth of 35% compared with the same period last year.Bruce Pang, Director of Research at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) said: “The strong export performance, in line with HKTDC’s earlier assessment, underscores the resilience of external demand, despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.”“The recent surge in Hong Kong’s exports has been driven primarily by the global AI-led application upcycle and strong demand for ICT (Information and Communications Technology) equipment, reinforced by supply chain reconfiguration in Asia and, to some extent, higher unit prices amid rising costs. Hong Kong’s export sales are therefore expected to remain solid in the near term, supported by sustained demand for technology-related products.”As a key re-export hub for electronic components and intermediate goods, Hong Kong is well positioned to benefit from this ongoing AI-driven technology upcycle. Robust demand for chips, AI-enabled products and ICT equipment across global major markets – including the Chinese Mainland, ASEAN production bases and mature markets, such as the US – continues to underpin regional trade flows, supporting Hong Kong’s external trade performance.[For further information about the export prospects of the electronics sector, please refer to: AI Surge Bolsters Electronics Industry from Geopolitical Headwinds | HKTDC Research]At the same time, elevated oil prices amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, together with rising semiconductor costs, have contributed to higher trade values of related products, thereby supporting export growth in value terms. While this largely reflects price effects rather than volume expansion, it is likely to continue underpinning headline trade figures in the near term.In addition, the improved trade environment following the China-US leaders’ meeting in May is expected to support business sentiment by reducing uncertainties. Against this backdrop, Hong Kong’s export performance is likely to maintain solid growth momentum for the rest of the year, underpinned by its role as a critical node in regional and global supply chains.Nonetheless, trade prospects remain subject to geopolitical developments, particularly in the Middle East, as well as the trajectory of energy prices, both of which could affect trade flows and end-market demand.HKTDC Media Room: https://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communications & Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.
