導語：加速游戲虛擬資産管理業務進程和全球化佈局。香港，2025年7月14日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 日前，愷英網絡旗下全資子公司Spruce Technology HK Limited正式獲香港證券及期貨事務監察委員會(SFC)頒發第4類(就證券提供意見)及第9類(提供資産管理)牌照。上一個在內地引發廣泛關注的類似事件，是去年12月字節跳動聯合創始人張一鳴通過旗下「Cool River Venture HK Limited」斬獲香港9號牌照。從地域來看，香港正加速推動成爲全球Web3.0中心。對正處於游戲業務全球化加速期，且積極佈局元宇宙、Web3.0等前沿賽道的愷英網絡而言，這兩個牌照將成爲其生態升級的核心支點：公司不僅能吸引更多國際合作夥伴共同開發AI驅動的游戲開發工具與PUGC平台，更能合規開展游戲虛擬資産生成、交易及資産管理業務，從而打通「創意-資産-金融」閉環，構建可信賴的全球化數字經濟生態。牌照不是終點 打造更具想像力的「游戲虛擬資産管理者」愷英網絡長期以來一直積極探索Web3.0、元宇宙等新興領域的前沿技術與資本運作深度融合。早在2023年，愷英網絡就曾透露，其從技術框架上可支持産品接入Web3.0，幷將持續關注Web3.0技術的發展。此外，愷英網絡還早早搭建了數字資産平台「拾元立方」，致力於通過區塊鏈技術幷結合Web3.0、元宇宙和人工智能，匯集多方創作者和游戲品牌方，構建數字藝術品營銷體系，建立數字品牌形象，打造豐富多元的元宇宙內容生態。截至目前，「拾元立方」已發布了多款原創IP和品牌聯動數字藝術品，以「數字資産與實體經濟」相結合的發售方式，促進數字經濟與實體經濟深度融合。2024年巴黎奧運會首日，愷英網絡公司吉祥物「K小皇」奧運系列數字資産就在「拾元立方」獨家限量首發，定制數字資産互動小游戲「奧運『皇』家助威團」同步上線。用戶可以通過參與游戲獲得專屬獨特的數字資産獎勵，數字資産將綁定平台權益，爲數字資産的普及和應用開闢了新的道路。根據市場數據，「拾元立方」現已擁有實名注册用戶近20萬，未來能够幫助出海廠商實現游戲數字資産海外發行，形成「國內合規發行+海外多鏈流通」的雙軌模式，爲游戲資産全球化提供從技術底層到交易場景的一站式解决方案。在愷英網絡之前，海外代表性游戲公司已通過獲取金融牌照佈局虛擬資産管理業務，驗證了這一路徑的可行性：香港 Web3 頭部企業 Animoca Brands 通過獲取相關合規資質，構建了覆蓋元宇宙資産發行、交易的全鏈條管理體系；由動視暴雪前核心團隊創立的 Mythical Games，亦憑藉合規框架下的 「隱形化區塊鏈技術」，在《Blankos Block Party》等代表作中實現玩家資産的安全持有與交易，成爲區塊鏈游戲領域通過牌照合規打通虛擬資産價值閉環的標杆。隨著4號及9號牌照的獲得，愷英網絡或將進一步拓寬在虛擬社交、區塊鏈游戲等相關領域的業務邊界，用游戲行爲産生資産，用金融牌照盤活資産，閉環生態形成，從而成爲一個「更具想像力的愷英」。基於已有的海外佈局經驗 構建開放、可信的全球化PUGC平台從另一個角度來看，在本次獲得香港SFC第4類及第9類牌照前，愷英網絡的全球化戰略就已顯成效。從産品端來看，積極把握海外市場機遇，積極佈局全球化發行，放眼全球市場，與衆多海外渠道建立了深入合作關係，在海外市場拓展方面的成績頗爲亮眼。據瞭解，2025年新游《MU Immortal》《派對不獸控》等游戲均在上綫伊始即登頂海外地區游戲榜單，成長實力不容小覷。多款新品的相繼推出，有望進一步完善愷英網絡的産品矩陣幷逐漸形成差异化競爭力，從而進一步擴大市場份額，推動用戶規模實現階梯式增長。反映在業績表現上，2024年愷英網絡海外營收3.75億元，同比增長多達221.48%。就在6月底，愷英網絡向市場推出了一款專爲游戲行業打造的AI全流程開發平台「SOON」。該平台憑藉對多模態大模型能力的深度整合，實現了從美術資産生成到代碼部署全流程的自動化操作，極大地縮短了傳統游戲開發周期，充分賦能游戲行業向全自動AI轉型。結合這家公司在游戲出海和自研AI開發平台等一系列動作，可以猜測，公司將在海外或也會打造AI全流程游戲開發工具和PUGC玩家用戶平台，海外用戶平台面向玩家群體，提供多玩法、多創意的AI游戲産品。在SFC兩個金融牌照的加持下，平台提供虛擬經濟系統，海外開發者可以通過平台系統或平台上的游戲自己生成游戲代幣，幫助游戲開發者完善經濟系統。從這個角度來看，基於過去一段時間在海外游戲運營發行積累的經驗，以及海外市場對Web3.0創新模式更加深刻的理解，愷英網絡有望構建一個真正開放、可信的全球化PUGC平台，賦能數字內容與經濟系統的創新。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, July 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Alpaca Network, the leading decentralized infrastructure for AI Model tokenization, today confirmed the launch of Modelz, its much-anticipated decentralized exchange for AI Models, serving as an on-chain marketplace and tokenization layer for open‑source AI. Modelz empowers AI developers to wrap any open‑source model into a Model token, by conducting an Initial Model Offering (IMO) and distributing usage‑based revenue automatically to token holders.“Open‑source AI drives billions in value every year, yet the creators rarely capture their share,” said Joaquim Miro, Core Contributor at Alpaca Network. “Modelz changes the game: every model becomes a community‑owned startup with its own treasury, governance, and revenue‑sharing mechanisms.”Opensource Decentralized AI meets Financial MarketsModelz empowers AI innovation by directing usage fees to model creators and PACA stakers instead of centralized cloud providers. Through Initial Model Offerings (IMOs), researchers can raise funding without giving up IP or imposing paywalls. Investors gain liquid, targeted exposure to AI adoption across categories like vision transformers, speech engines, and large language models—without needing hardware or deep technical expertise.How Modelz WorksModelz operates through a two-stage process designed to align incentives and fuel open-source AI development. It begins with an Initial Model Offering (IMO), where a creator selects an open-source model and mints [MODEL] tokens, selling a portion in exchange for PACA to seed the model's treasury. Once live, agents will be able to access the top models via API via Modelz’s inference partners. These payments flow through smart contracts that automatically distribute revenue to model developers, compute providers, and token stakers. A perpetual 6.5% “2π% reserve” is also applied to each transaction, evenly rewarding model creators, model stakers, and PACA stakers—ensuring long-term alignment and shared success across the ecosystem.Launch RoadmapThe Modelz roadmap marks a rapid evolution toward decentralized AI infrastructure. The launch of Modelz Mainnet V1 now enables live Initial Model Offerings (IMOs), along with trading, buying, and selling of tokenized AI models. By Q1 2026, the rollout of the Agentz Layer will enable decentralized inference rewards and seamless API integrations, creating a value flywheel between the tokenized models and the inference revenue they create from the agents they power.How To Get InvolvedModelz.io invites developers and researchers to upload their models to Hugging Face and tokenize them in just three simple steps, making it easier than ever to monetize open-source AI. Model token holders and PACA token holders can stake to gain access to a growing bundle of tokenized AI models, tapping into the future of decentralized machine intelligence. For tech enthusiasts, the journey starts with a front-row seat—register for our next live demo by following @AlpacaNetworkAI on X.ABOUT ALPACA NETWORKAlpaca Network, the creator of Modelz, is a Web3 infrastructure platform focussed on decentralized AI—enabling creators to monetize open-source innovation and giving investors direct exposure to the rapidly growing AI economy. The network is built on a three-layer architecture: it begins with the PACA Foundation, which provides governance and gas for the ecosystem; continues with the MODELS Infrastructure, a decentralized exchange where tokenized AI models can be published, traded, and composed; and culminates with AGENTZ, the application layer that allows AI agents and decentralized applications to access and utilize inference-ready models. Together, these layers form a seamless pipeline for distributed intelligence—from governance to model deployment to real-world AI utility.

HONG KONG, July 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Recently, Hong Kong officially released the Policy Statement 2.0 on the Development of Digital Assets in Hong Kong, which explicitly listed RWA as a key development direction, actively explored its integration with local advantageous industries, and intended to inject new vitality into the traditional industry with the help of blockchain technology. Tianci international (CIIT) has long focused on the cutting-edge trends in the industry and quickly captured the huge potential behind this policy signal. Tianci is well aware that the integration of blockchain technology and shipping logistics is expected to bring more innovation opportunities to the company and open up a brand-new growth track.In order to explore this innovative integration model, Tianci has recently organized several seminars on ‘RWA and Shipping Logistics Business’. The conference gathered senior experts and industry elites from shipping, finance, blockchain technology and other fields to discuss the prospect of blockchain technology and token issuance application, implementation path and challenges in shipping logistics.In terms of shipping enterprises issuing token, Tianci has clarified the feasibility and key processes of digital token issuance for core assets such as ships and warehousing facilities. Experts emphasizes the need to establish a rigorous asset valuation system and compliance framework to ensure that the issuance process is transparent, fair and legal. Experts also made an in-depth analysis of blockchain technology, the organic combination of RWA and shipping logistics, and the underlying operation logic.Talking about the opportunities and challenges brought by blockchain technology and token issuance to the shipping logistics industry, experts agreed that Hong Kong is expected to create a vibrant RWA logistics ecosystem in the future, which will bring new growth momentum to the whole industry; however, at the same time, experts think it is also facing a lot of challenges such as complicated regulatory compliance and technical safety and security, which are urgently needed to be tackled by all parties in the industry.The success of this seminar has provided Tianci with valuable ideas and directions for exploring the integration of RWA and shipping logistics, and has strengthened the company's determination to continue to plough into this innovative field. Tianci will take this seminar as an opportunity to explore the implementation path of blockchain technology in shipping logistics together with its industry partners, and strive to be at the forefront of token issuance application practice in the industry.Tianci firmly believes that, with the continuous maturity of the technology, the in-depth fusion of blockchain technology and RWA and shipping logistics will bring about a brand-new change in the industry development, and create a broader market space and value growth.Media contactBrand Name: Tianci InternationalContact Person: Marketing TeamEmail: ir@rqscapital.com Website: tianci-ciit.com Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

BANGKOK, July 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sappe PCL (SAPPE) once again reinforced its image as a globally recognized Thai enterprise as its Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Piyajit Ruckariyapong, was invited to speak at the Global Summit of Women 2025, one of the world’s most influential international gatherings of women leaders. The 35th edition of the summit was held in Berlin, Germany from July 3–5, 2025 under the theme “Women: Restoring Values in the Digital Age” and brought together over 1,000 participants from more than 60 countries.Ms. Ruckariyapong joined the Summit as a panelist under the theme “Should Companies Take a Position on Socio-Cultural Issues?”, alongside top executives from global corporations such as Commerzbank (Germany), Dow Europe (Switzerland), and McCann Worldgroup Europe (Spain). Moderated by Ms. Irene Natividad, President of the Global Summit of Women, the session highlighted the role of modern women as not just innovators but leaders in restoring values and ethics to business and society in the digital era.During the panel, Ms. Ruckariyapong shared SAPPE’s inspiring journey from its humble beginnings as a small food business founded by a second-generation Thai-Chinese family to becoming a global innovator in the beverage industry, exporting to over 100 countries. The only daughter among three brothers, she began her career in finance at global institutions such as Deutsche Bank, Barclays Capital, and BNP Paribas. She was later called back to SAPPE during a pivotal moment as the company prepared to go public, where she played a key role as CFO. When her elder brother stepped down, she was appointed CEO and has since driven the company’s international expansion.On stage, she affirmed that SAPPE believes in being a company that “takes a stand for what it believes in” not just in marketing strategies, but in giving voice to important social and cultural issues. She emphasized the company’s three core values embedded in its DNA: innovation, women empowerment, and diversity and inclusion. SAPPE was the pioneer of the “Snack Drink” category, with its globally successful Mogu Mogu, a fruit juice drink with chewy nata de coco that transformed the global beverage landscape. In addition, SAPPE developed Sappe Beauti Drink, a functional beverage line that reflects its commitment to women’s well-being and self-care. Last year, SAPPE launched the powerful “Self-Love” campaign, encouraging women to embrace their inner beauty and become agents of social change.SAPPE also strongly upholds the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Women make up 53% of the company’s workforce and 60% of its senior management an outcome that reflects its values in action. Speaking on leadership and internal culture, Ms. Ruckariyapong highlighted SAPPE’s flat organizational structure that enables inclusive decision-making, two-way communication, and a workplace culture built on mutual respect. Communication with stakeholders occurs through multiple channels, such as quarterly meetings with shareholders, social listening platforms for consumer feedback, and open-door policies allow employees at all levels to directly engage with senior management.“My door is always open. I respectfully encourage everyone to speak up. That’s how we align the organization to move forward as one,” she shared.As the leader of a global company, she also emphasized the importance of respecting cultural diversity and avoiding one-size-fits-all strategies across countries. She believes that CEOs must “Walk The Talk,” upholding transparency, honesty, and accountability in every action not only to shareholders and consumers, but also to society.In terms of engaging the new generation, she noted that 20% of SAPPE’s workforce is Gen Z, and that this demographic values purpose deeply. “They want to know what they’re doing, why it matters, and what impact it creates. That’s why we ensure that our mission, values, and goals are communicated clearly. We also support mental well-being, set clear performance benchmarks, and build a culture of belonging,” she explained. This approach helps SAPPE remain agile and innovative in an ever-evolving world.Her participation in the Global Summit of Women reflects not only SAPPE’s growing international presence but also a broader message that Thai companies can be a force for good on the global stage. With creativity, vision, and a commitment to meaningful values, businesses can lead cultural sustainability not just through numbers, but through the courage to drive positive change.About the Global Summit of WomenThe Global Summit of Women is one of the most influential international platforms advancing women's leadership in business, government, and civil society. Celebrating its 35th edition in 2025, the summit brought together over 1,000 participants from more than 60 countries, including ministers, senior executives, and CEOs from top corporations such as IBM, EY, UNCTAD, Huawei, Adecco, Bayer, Mercedes-AMG, National Bank of Australia, and Commerzbank. The summit featured a diverse agenda, from high-level plenaries on global megatrends and digital transformation, to skill-building workshops and public-private policy dialogues. This platform not only fosters inspiration and cross-border collaboration but also contributes to real policy outcomes from narrowing gender pay gaps to advancing quotas for women in leadership and promoting inclusive economic growth.About SAPPESappe Public Company Limited (SAPPE) is a leading Thai beverage innovator and the creator of the “Snack Drink” category through its iconic global brand, Mogu Mogu, now exported to over 100 countries across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.

HONG KONG, July 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Standard Chartered and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) jointly released the latest Standard Chartered Greater Bay Area Business Sentiment Index (GBAI), which showed resilient current business performance after the so-called US ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs shock, supported by front-loading of orders and production. Meanwhile, businesses were cautious on the outlook as expectations softened but remained positive.The "current performance" index for business activities eased marginally to 53.1 in Q2 from 53.5 in Q1. A breakdown of index components supports the front-loading narrative; “Production/sales” was the strongest performer among the eight main sub-indices, in terms of both absolute score (57.1, the highest in a year) and change (+4.2 pts). Other positive drivers include “Fixed asset investment” (+2.0pts), “Profits” (+1.1pts) and “Raw material inventory” (+0.1pts). Meanwhile, the “expectations” index for business activity fell to 52.0 in Q2 from 54.3 in Q1. This is the weakest level since Q4-2022, but the fact that expectations stayed above the 50 neutral mark provides some relief. There is a broad-based deterioration across sub-components as seven of the eight expectations sub-indices fell, and the exception was “Capacity utilisation". “Financing scale” (-5.1pts), “Finished goods/services price” (-4.8pts) and “Production/sales” (-2.6pts) saw the biggest declines in the quarter.By sector, “Innovation and technology” outperformed (+6.3pts for “current performance” and +5.5pts for “expectations”), while “Manufacturing and trading” showed short-term resilience (-0.4pts and -2.1pts) as rush orders ahead of US tariff implementation have kept manufacturers busy. ‘Retail and wholesale’ disappointed (-1.0pts and -4.1pts), despite the perceived effectiveness of China’s consumer goods trade-in program.Across GBA cities, there was setback for Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Hong Kong saw the biggest drops among GBA cities (-9.8pts for “current performance” and -10.5pts for “expectations”) in the quarter. This partly reflects its vulnerability to the external environment and domestic consumption struggles. Guangzhou fell 9.3pts for “current performance” and 6.3pts for “expectations”.Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered, said: “The looming tariff uncertainty has driven the front-loading of orders and production in the second quarter, while also accelerating AI development. Looking ahead, the findings revealed a more cautious view of GBA businesses amid the uncertain business outlook in the second half, especially regarding the outcome of bilateral trade deals after the 90-day pauses. Additionally, Hong Kong's economy saw steady expansion in the first quarter. Given the significant proportion of external economic activities relative to its GDP, international trade and tariff policies are crucial for Hong Kong.”For thematic questions, only some 10% of respondents saw a material direct impact from US tariff hikes. Notably, tariff pauses and exemptions provided relief on the impact, this underscores the importance of maintaining the recent US-China trade truce and quickly finalising other bilateral trade deals in Q3.In terms of the impact of doing business, 41% of the respondents said US tariff hikes would delay the implementation of their business plans. Other major impacts include “difficult to navigate high level of logistical/customs disruption/uncertainty” (35%) and “losing business to other markets with lower tariff impact” (30%). Meanwhile, 32% of the respondents would sell more into the domestic market as the most common way to address the US tariff shocks and associated uncertainties.Irina Fan, Director of Research, HKTDC, said: “The findings showed that GBA companies are relatively resilient to US tariffs, although our survey was conducted shortly after the US ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs against its trade partners in April and did not capture all of the more recent developments since. Some 75-80% of the GBA companies see negative impacts by US tariffs, mostly due to delay in business plan implementation and logistics disruptions.” “In response to this new era of US trade policy, GBA companies seek to increase domestic sales and expanding to key markets in the region, in particular ASEAN, reflecting the mainland and HKSAR Governments’ efforts in promoting closer economic ties with these countries and regions.”About the GBAIThe GBAI is the first forward-looking quarterly survey in the market that looks at the business sentiment and synergistic effects in cities and industries across the GBA. It is compiled based on a survey of more than 1,000 companies in the GBA covering the manufacturing and trading, retail and wholesale, financial services, professional services and innovation and technology sectors. The index enables investors and businesses to better understand the current business climate, gauge future performance prospects and formulate their market strategies for the GBA.Related materialsHKTDC Research: https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjA1NzIwMTI0MQReport and photos download: https://bit.ly/4lOjJQFKelvin Lau (left), Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered, and Irina Fan (right), Director of Research, HKTDC, announced the latest GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) on 9 July 2025Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard CharteredIrina Fan, Director of Research, HKTDCMedia enquiriesYuan Tung Financial Relations LimitedTiffany LeungTel: (852) 3428 2361Email: tleung@yuantung.com.hk Communications & Public Affairs Department of the HKTDCKaty WongTel: (852) 2584 4524Email: katy.ky.wong@hktdc.org Corporate Affairs Department of Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) LimitedFlora ChiuTel: (852) 3843 2285Email: flora.chiu@sc.comAbout Standard CharteredWe are a leading international banking group, with a presence in 53 of the world’s most dynamic markets.

NEW YORK, July 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In a move poised to redefine the contours of modern proprietary trading, Hola Prime, an emerging leader in the prop trading industry, has announced two major developments: the launch of Hola Prime Futures, the world's first 1 hour withdrawals futures prop trading firm; and the strategic expansion of its forex vertical through the integration of MetaTrader 4 (MT4) - the world's most widely adopted retail trading platform.These initiatives are not just product additions - they signal Hola Prime's commitment to building a prop trading ecosystem that is faster, fairer, and far more accessible than the industry status quo.Hola Prime Futures: World's First 1-Hour Withdrawal Futures Prop Trading FirmFutures trading, once considered the preserve of institutional desks and seasoned speculators, is now witnessing a strong surge in interest from independent traders looking to diversify beyond forex and crypto. But with this shift has come a growing list of frustrations: multi-step evaluations, unclear rules, delayed withdrawals, and outdated platforms that deter rather than empower.Hola Prime Futures seeks to turn that narrative on its head."Futures prop trading has been shaped by legacy systems that serve firms more than traders," said Somesh Kapuria, CEO of Hola Prime. "We're rewriting that logic. With Hola Prime Futures, we've stripped the experience down to its most essential elements: 1 Rule. 1 Target. 1-Step Challenge. 1-on-1 Mentorship. And 1-Hour Withdrawals. It's simple by design and powerful by intent."At the core of Hola Prime Futures is a radically simplified access model: traders can choose between a 1-Step Challenge or a Direct Account, both offering access to funding levels of up to $150,000. There are no daily loss limits, no unclear or complex rules, and no hidden fine print - a stark departure from the layered complexity typical of most futures prop firms.Yet it's the withdrawal speed that truly sets Hola Prime apart. Backed by its strong and comprehensive 10-point payout system, Hola Prime Futures enables verified withdrawals within 60 minutes - an industry first in futures trading."Most prop firms still operate on outdated withdrawal cycles - three days, five days, even two weeks," said Sumedha Sharma, CFO of Hola Prime. "But when a trader qualifies, they've done the work. Our system recognizes that in real time. We've eliminated unnecessary approvals, automate what can be automated, and built the tech to support one promise: You withdraw in one hour. Every time."In addition to this, Hola Prime Futures offers Project X - a trading platform designed with simplicity and strong risk management at its core. Traders can access instruments listed on CME, COMEX, NYMEX, and CBOT, all from one intuitive interface.Furthermore, Hola Prime Futures also provides Quantower and R Trader Pro (Rithmic feed being compatible with multiple other platforms), allowing traders to work in the environment that best suits their strategy and comfort.MT4 Integration: Strengthening the Forex DomainWhile futures take center stage, Hola Prime hasn't taken its foot off the gas in the forex segment. In fact, the firm's forex vertical is receiving a major upgrade with the integration of MetaTrader 4 (MT4) - a move that underscores Hola Prime's dual-asset vision and long-term trader support strategy. They already have MT5 in place. This marks the addition of both MT4 and MT5 along with 3 other trading platforms- Ctrader, DX Trade, and Match Trade. So, Hola Prime now offers a whopping 5 trading platforms for its forex traders."MT4 is a global standard for a reason," said Kapuria. "It's reliable, intuitive, and deeply compatible with the way traders operate - from algorithmic strategies to custom indicators. Bringing MT4 into our forex vertical wasn't a tactical move; it was a strategic necessity."This complements the firm's broader commitment to accessibility, performance, and infrastructure reliability across asset classes."We don't believe in one-size-fits-all," added Sharma. "Forex traders need different tools and timelines than futures traders. Our ecosystem is now robust enough to serve both - without compromise."Education and MentorshipSupporting both launches is the firm's educational initiative, Hola Prime TV - an original content platform offering live trading sessions, expert market breakdowns, and 1-on-1 mentorship from industry experts. Unlike traditional prop firms, which often outsource trader education or rely on generic resources, Hola Prime has made coaching a direct part of its offering."Traders today want more than capital - they want guidance, community, and real conversations about risk and resilience," said Himanshu Chandel, Marketing Director at Hola Prime. He added, "Hola Prime TV is built around that ethos. It's not about showing off trades. It's about showing what it takes to last."The Vision AheadHola Prime's dual expansion - into 1-hour withdrawal futures prop model and platform-enhanced forex reflects a larger ambition: to be not just a prop firm, but a trader-first institution that defines the next generation of global trading."Our goal isn't to be the biggest," Kapuria concluded. "It's to be the most trusted. A place where traders know the rules, own their path and get rewarded without delay. We're building what every trader deserves: a fair shot."Hola Prime Futures and MT4 for Forex are both live. The future of trading isn't just faster - it's finally in the trader's favor.Social LinksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/holaprime_global/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtVEJa1Ml132Be7tnk-DjeQ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hola-prime/?viewAsMember=true X: https://x.com/HolaPrimeGlobal Discord: https://discord.gg/TJ7TcHPXBf Quora: https://www.quora.com/profile/HolaPrime/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/HolaPrime/ Medium: https://medium.com/@social_46267 Media ContactCompany: Hola PrimeContact: Media TeamWebsite: https://holaprime.com/ Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
