HONG KONG, Mar 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) is accelerating the evolution of its robotics business from pure equity investment toward a deeper commercialization infrastructure stage. In the company’s newly released 2025 Chairman’s Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang made it clear that Shoucheng Holdings is leveraging its extensive offline asset management scale to build the “last mile” that brings the robotics industry from the laboratory to the market.According to the Chairman’s Statement, Taozhu New Manufacturing Hub, the robotics commercialization platform under Shoucheng Holdings, has already been successfully launched in top-tier commercial locations such as Beijing Shougang Park, Terminal 3 Parking Building of Beijing Capital Airport, and Beijing Wangfujing APM.

At present, Shoucheng Holdings has become an authorized distributor for nearly 100 robotics companies. To further lower procurement barriers for end users, Shoucheng has also partnered with “Beijing Robotics Financial Leasing Company” to provide integrated leasing services for research institutions, medical institutions, and large enterprises, using financial tools to accelerate robot adoption.In addition, Shoucheng Holdings is drawing on its deep expertise in infrastructure asset management to provide robots with natural testing grounds and operating venues. The Chairman’s Statement notes that the company jointly launched the country’s first “Auto-Charging Robot Pop-up Experience Station” at Chengdu ICD, demonstrating how robots can empower traditional commercial spaces.Chairman Zhao Tianyang also set out a clear development goal in the statement: going forward, Shoucheng Holdings will continue to advance its strategy of upgrading parking lots into robot operation bases, thereby forming a complete closed loop of “investing in robotics companies – empowering portfolio companies through offline sales – carrying out in-depth offline scenario operations.” Through the interlocking of investment, channels, and scenarios, Shoucheng Holdings is building a formidable competitive moat in the robotics sector.

Penguatkuasa Telekomunikasi Nepal diperintahkan “segera” menutup aplikasi dan laman web perjudian

(AsiaGameHub) - Nepal telah mengambil langkah segera untuk membendung perjudian dalam talian dengan mengarahkan penyingkiran semua aplikasi dan laman web pertaruhan dari negara itu dalam tempoh 24 jam. Selain daripada tuntutan untuk menyahaktifkan semua bentuk perjudian elektronik ini, Nepali Telecom Authority juga diarahkan untuk bekerjasama dengan syarikat penyedia perkhidmatan internet tempatan dan memantau pematuhan terhadap arahan ini. Langkah ini diambil berikutan peningkatan laman web dan platform perjudian tidak terkawal yang muncul di seluruh negara. Laporan menunjukkan bahawa laman web perjudian dalam talian kini tersedia di Nepal tanpa sebarang peraturan atau prosedur pelesenan, menimbulkan kemungkinan isu kawal selia dan perlindungan pengguna. Keputusan itu dibuat selepas kemenangan besar dalam pilihan raya Datuk Bandar Kathmandu yang baru dilantik, Balendra Shah. Pihak berkuasa Nepal sedang mengambil pendekatan yang lebih agresif terhadap aktiviti digital haram. Aktiviti digital haram semakin berkembang di rantau ini, termasuk percubaan baru-baru ini oleh kerajaan India untuk mengharamkan perjudian dalam talian wang sebenar.

Agensi Loteri San Juan Hadapi Tekanan Keuntungan Susulan Perubahan Tabix Pengguna iGame

Agensi Loteri San Juan Hadapi Tekanan Keuntungan Susulan Perubahan Tabix Pengguna

(AsiaGameHub) - Agen loteri San Juan menghadapi kesukaran untuk mengekalkan permintaan yang semakin meningkat bagi perkhidmatan loteri. Sebahagian besar peningkatan aktiviti ini didorong oleh jackpot besar dalam beberapa bulan kebelakangan ini, mewujudkan minat baharu terhadap loteri. Walau bagaimanapun, walaupun dengan peningkatan aktiviti, agensi-agensi ini tidak dapat meningkatkan keuntungan atau menumbuhkan hasil, terutamanya disebabkan oleh kos operasi yang lebih tinggi. Ernesto Pérez, wakil Chamber of Lottery Agencies (CALA), menyatakan: Hasil yang kami terima sekarang adalah lebih 50% berbanding hasil yang diterima dalam tempoh yang sama tahun lepas. Realiti kewangan masih kompleks. Walaupun kami mempunyai hasil yang lebih tinggi, margin semakin mengecil. Peserta industri juga telah meluahkan kebimbangan terhadap kenaikan kos berkaitan perniagaan, seperti utiliti, sewa, dan perbelanjaan operasi biasa lain, yang berkembang pada kadar yang jauh lebih tinggi daripada pertumbuhan hasil. Ini menimbulkan cabaran tambahan untuk sebahagian besar industri, kerana kini terdapat penurunan dalam bilangan agensi loteri. Malah, di San Juan terdapat 440 agensi loteri empat tahun lalu; namun, kini terdapat 390 agensi loteri di San Juan. Satu lagi cabaran kepada industri loteri ialah percambahan platform permainan dalam talian. Walaupun adalah haram bagi individu untuk mengendalikan platform permainan dalam talian, kebangkitan bentuk permainan ini telah menjadi ancaman sebenar kepada perniagaan loteri. Ernesto Pérez menambah: Ia tidak dibenarkan di wilayah ini, tetapi aplikasi muncul, dan orang ramai beralih kepada mereka, terutamanya pengguna yang lebih muda. Kami ingin dimasukkan ke dalam sebarang aplikasi yang sah. Perkembangan di atas telah mengakibatkan perubahan ketara dalam keseluruhan industri loteri di San Juan. Pertumbuhan permintaan dalam industri adalah hasil daripada jackpot dan usaha promosi; walau bagaimanapun, kos dan teknologi baru bergabung untuk mengubah model perniagaan industri loteri.

Pelawat tarikتلفقت Belanda di-retasah kerana pasar larangan

(AsiaGameHub) - Kansspelautoriteit telah mengeluarkan amaran kepada beberapa syarikat pertaruhan dalam talian kerana menawarkan pertaruhan atas pasaran yang dilarang, termasuk pertaruhan ke atas pemain yang memenangi anugerah seperti MVP. Tiada nama didedahkan, bagaimanapun, pengawal selia itu mengulangi bahawa hanya operator berlesen yang boleh menyediakan pertaruhan ke atas acara berkaitan perlawanan atau markah akhir sesuatu perlawanan. Selepas dihubungi oleh pengawal selia, operator-operators tersebut mengalih keluar pasaran yang bermasalah itu dengan segera. Pengawal selia menyatakan bahawa semua operator mesti sentiasa menilai pasaran yang mereka tawarkan dan mengambil tindakan segera jika mereka mengesan sebarang pasaran yang haram. Pihak berkuasa telah membuat kenyataan yang serupa kepada operator pada masa lalu mengenai tawaran pertaruhan ke atas pemain di bawah umur 21 tahun, dan operator seperti bet365 dan One Casino disebut sebagai contoh operator yang telah ditandai kerana menawarkan pertaruhan haram. Kansspelautoriteit berkata: Pemegang lesen kekal bertanggungjawab secara peribadi untuk tawaran permainan yang mereka sediakan, walaupun ketika menggunakan platform luar atau pembekal buku sukan. Oleh itu, KSA menjangkakan pembekal untuk sentiasa memantau tawaran mereka dan mengambil langkah yang sesuai untuk mencegah pertaruhan yang dilarang. Jika pertaruhan tanpa kebenaran tetap ditawarkan, tindakan segera mesti diambil. KSA akan terus menyelia tawaran permainan pemegang lesen. Dalam satu insiden yang berasingan, pengawal selia juga mengambil tindakan terhadap jenama Jacks milik JOI Gaming kerana melanggar peraturan pengiklanan dengan menghubungkan logo di laman web Professional Darts Corporation ke laman web perjudian dalam talian Jacks. Selepas campur tangan pengawal selia, pautan tersebut telah dialih keluar. Pengawal selia menambah: Selepas Jacks didekati oleh KSA mengenai pelanggaran tersebut, pautan ke laman web dengan tawaran perjudian dalam talian itu telah dialih keluar dengan serta-merta. KSA menekankan bahawa pemegang lesen bertanggungjawab untuk mematuhi undang-undang dan peraturan mengenai pengiklanan perjudian. Pengawal selia memeriksa sama ada pembekal mematuhi peraturan ini dan menggunakan intervensi yang paling berkesan untuk memastikan tawaran perjudian yang adil dan selamat. Secara keseluruhan, pengawal selia menyatakan mereka akan terus menguatkuasakan langkah pematuhan yang ketat mengenai kedua-dua aktiviti pertaruhan dan amalan pengiklanan perjudian untuk mengekalkan persekitaran yang adil dan terkawal.

AS benarkan kapal tanker minyak Rusia ke Cuba di tengah sekatan, Trump kata pulau itu ‘perlu terus hidup’

(SeaPRwire) - Pemerintah AS akan membenarkan sebuah tankeri Rusia yang penuh dengan minyak mentah mencapai Cuba, secara berkesan melemahkan sekatan yang telah mendorong pulau itu ke dalam krisis tenaga, menurut laporan.Tankeri yang berbendera Rusia, Anatoly Kolodkin, sedang menuju ke Cuba pada Ahad, membawa anggaran 730,000 tong minyak, lapor The New York Times, mengutip seorang pegawai AS yang telah diberi taklimat mengenai perkara itu.Data pengesanan kapal menunjukkan bahawa tankeri Anatoly Kolodkin berada di luar hujung timur Cuba pada Ahad."Kami mempunyai sebuah tankeri di luar sana. Kami tidak keberatan jika seseorang mendapatkan muatan kapal, kerana mereka memerlukan … mereka perlu bertahan hidup," kata Presiden Donald Trump kepada wartawan pada Ahad apabila ditanya mengenai laporan itu."Jika sesebuah negara mahu menghantar sedikit minyak ke Cuba sekarang, saya tidak mempunyai masalah sama ada ia Rusia atau bukan," tambahnya.Trump pernah cuba menyekat penghantaran minyak ke Cuba dalam usaha menekan pemerintahnya.Pemerintah AS telah sementara melemahkan beberapa sekatan ke atas penghantaran minyak Rusia untuk membantu menstabilkan pasaran tenaga global di tengah gangguan di Selat Hormuz selepas serangan tentera AS dan Israel ke atas Iran yang bermula bulan lepas.Anatoly Kolodkin, yang bertolak dari Primorsk, Rusia, mungkin akan berlabuh di pelabuhan Matanzas di Cuba jika ia kekal pada laluan semasa, menurut perkhidmatan pengesanan MarineTraffic dan LSEG.Minyak itu akan memberi bantuan yang ketara kepada Cuba, di mana Presiden Miguel Díaz-Canel telah mengatakan kekurangan bahan api telah berlarutan selama beberapa bulan, memaksa penjimatan gas yang ketat dan memperparah krisis tenaga pulau itu.Penangkapan AS terhadap pemimpin Venezuela ketika itu, Nicolás Maduro, pada Januari telah merampas sekutu utama Cuba yang telah menyediakan minyak kepada pulau itu dengan syarat menguntungkan.Pemerintahan Trump kemudiannya menyekat semua penghantaran minyak Venezuela ke Cuba dan berjanji untuk mengenakan tarif hukuman ke atas mana-mana negara ketiga yang memasok penghantaran ke pulau itu, memaksa Mexico berhenti eksportnya ke Cuba.Sebuah kapal lain, Sea Horse yang berbendera Hong Kong, juga membawa kira-kira 200,000 tong bahan api Rusia ke Cuba, tetapi telah diubah hala ke Venezuela.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

T-RIZE Structures Up to $500 Million Private Credit Digital Bond Programme on Canton Network SeaPRwire

T-RIZE Structures Up to $500 Million Private Credit Digital Bond Programme on Canton Network

Programme issued through Kairos Litigation Limited, with first $50 million tranche scheduled to launch in the near term for eligible U.S. and European investors through compliant broker-dealers LONDON, UK – March 30, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – T-RIZE Group (https://www.t-rize.io) today announced its role in structuring a private credit digital bond programme of up to $500 million for Horizon Group through Kairos Litigation Limited, a UK-based bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle established as the issuer for the programme. Horizon Group acts as programme manager. The programme will begin with an initial $50 million tranche launching shortly for eligible investors in the United States and Europe on the Canton Network, with capacity for additional tranches over time. The announcement highlights T-RIZE’s institutional tokenization capability: structuring highly complex underlying exposures into institutionally governed, fixed-yield digital instruments built for professional markets. For the Kairos programme, T-RIZE has digitally structured a specialized private credit strategy into a market-ready issuance framework built on ring-fenced architecture, disciplined governance, permissioned investor access, and full lifecycle administration. Its role spans tokenization design, digital issuance architecture, governance and control logic, onchain instrument creation, lifecycle management, and reporting architecture required for institutional operation. The underlying exposure is a highly granular portfolio of UK litigation-finance receivables, a segment of private credit historically outside digital capital markets. T-RIZE has helped bring that exposure into a digital bond format designed for institutional use, combining fixed-yield economics, short-duration deployment, and a clearer structural framework for investor oversight. The credit architecture combines multiple protection layers. The issuer structure is bankruptcy-remote. Assets and related cash flows are ring-fenced. Risk is segmented through independent validation, and claim-level protection mechanisms. The capital-protection layer is supported by a performance-bond framework with reinsurance support from A-rated international reinsurers. Together, these features strengthen capital protection, improve cash-flow predictability, and support a stronger and transparent risk/reward profile than direct exposure to the underlying assets alone. T-RIZE is also providing the digital operating layer through which the tokens are minted, and administered on Canton Network. It supports onboarding, eligibility controls, credential management, transfer permissions, token lifecycle management, and governance execution. Critical actions are governed through a control framework incorporating multi-party computation and multi-signature approval logic, reinforcing institutional operating standards, and reducing single-point failure risk. The framework also includes collateral functionality scheduled for later activation, positioning the instrument over time for broader use across financing, treasury and liquidity workflows as institutional digital market infrastructure matures. For major financial institutions, the significance extends well beyond a single issuance. It demonstrates that T-RIZE can take complex private credit structures, architect them from the ground up, transform them into digitally native frameworks designed for institutional execution, governance, and scale. “This programme reflects the level of structuring, control and technical integration required for institutional private credit to operate effectively in digital markets,” said Madani Boukalba, Founder and CEO of T-RIZE Group. “T-RIZE helps institutions restructure highly complex, market-agnostic exposures into fixed-yield digital instruments with transparent structural protections and a clear onchain transparency layer across the life of the instrument. That opens access to structured opportunities that have traditionally remained difficult for institutions to reach in standardized form, while allowing them to benefit from attractive risk/reward dislocations with stronger governance, visibility and lifecycle control.” T-RIZE also holds a strong position within Canton Network. It is a Premier Member of the Canton Foundation, an early validator and a builder of production-grade tokenization infrastructure on the network. Canton Network now functions as institutional market infrastructure, with live tokenization, active collateral and repo workflows, and growing participation from major regulated institutions. T-RIZE is engineering the Kairos programme inside that framework so it aligns not only with institutional issuance standards today, but with the next phase of market utility; interoperability, governed execution, and future collateral activation on Canton Network rails. Ann-Marie Bell, CEO of Kairos Litigation Limited, said: “T-RIZE helped us translate a complex private credit structure into a market-ready institutional digital issuance. Their contribution across structuring, governance design, control architecture, compliance logic, and technical implementation was instrumental in bringing the first tranche to market.” More broadly, the transaction positions T-RIZE as a structuring partner for institutions seeking to bring complex opportunities into a governed digital issuance framework on Canton Network, with the standards of control, transparency, and execution required by professional markets. About T-RIZE Group T-RIZE Group is a financial technology company building institutional-grade tokenization infrastructure for digital securities, structured products, and real-world assets. The company structures, tokenizes, issues and administers compliant digital instruments across asset classes including private credit, funds, securities, bonds, commodities, and real estate. T-RIZE Labs, the group’s R&D division, advances next-generation tokenization systems, and digital market architecture. T-RIZE’s technology stack is engineered to institutional and defense-grade security standards and deployed on Canton Network for interoperability, governed execution, and future collateral activation. About Kairos and Horizon Group Kairos Litigation Limited is a UK-based special purpose vehicle established to issue digital loan notes and support the structured financing of eligible underlying receivables within a ring-fenced institutional framework. Horizon Group acts as programme manager and brings more than five years of operating history and a zero-default track record across its lending portfolio, supporting origination, underwriting framework, servicing oversight, and portfolio administration in connection with the programme.

Profit for the year rose by 101.8% to RMB21.0 million, compared with RMB10.4 million in 2024 and a net loss of RMB9.9 million in 2023, while gross profit margin increased to 33.8%, from 28.7% in 2024 and 21.9% in 2023. Gross profit reached RMB309.8 million (2024: RMB306.7 million), supported by the Group’s ongoing portfolio optimization, asset upgrading and disciplined execution, despite a still-challenging operating environment.During the Year, the Group continued to improve the quality of its media portfolio and strengthen operational efficiency. Revenue was RMB916.1 million, compared with RMB1,069.2 million in 2024, reflecting the Group’s deliberate focus on higher-quality assets and more profitable growth. The Group also maintained a healthy financial position, with cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, amounting to RMB200.3 million as at 31 December 2025, providing a solid foundation for future development. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to RMB363.6 million.Business HighlightsMetro Lines and Billboards Segment Posts Strong Results via Innovation and Optimized OperationsThe segment delivered strong results, supported by continued demand for prime advertising resources and the Group’s disciplined operating approach. Segment revenue increased to RMB497.5 million, while gross profit rose to RMB187.0 million and gross profit margin expanded to 37.6%, up from 26.0% in 2024, increased by 11.6 percentage points. The improvement reflected stronger performance across Hong Kong billboards, metro media in Mainland China and Singapore’s Thomson-East Coast MRT Line.During the Year, the Group’s billboards in prime locations in Hong Kong continued to attract strong advertiser interest, with bookings fueled by mega events and stronger market activity. Building on this momentum, the Group was granted the exclusive concession for advertising media resources at the Eastern Harbour Crossing, further strengthening its footprint across the city’s key transport arteries. Meanwhile, expanding beyond traditional billboards, the Group introduced innovative formats such as building wraps and ferry-pier coverings, pushing the boundaries of OOH advertising. These initiatives solidified the segment’s position as a key growth driver for the Group.Bus and Other Segment Revitalizes through Merging Creativity with Engineering ExcellenceThe segment continued to improve profitability through portfolio refinement and stronger operating discipline. Segment revenue was RMB236.9 million, while gross profit reached RMB96.0 million and gross profit margin increased to 40.5%, compared with 25.2% in 2024, improved by 15.3 percentage points. This reflected the Group’s continued focus on asset quality, return enhancement and a more efficient operating structure.With a refined portfolio, the Group revitalized the segment by delivering creative, impactful advertising, such as immersive bus shelter campaigns for beverage brands that engaged commuters through “five senses” experiences and interactive installations. Leveraging its solid experience with Sydney bus shelters, the Group successfully delivered several advanced engineering projects, including an 820m² rooftop LED retrofit. It also upgraded city-wide bus shelters into a smart Digital Out-of-Home (“DOOH”) network featuring panels with real-time performance and cutting-edge technology enabling context-aware, data-driven creative adjustments. These improvements have boosted campaign effectiveness and reinforced the segment’s long-term value.O&O New Media Strategy and DOOH+ Platform Enhance Value for Advertisers, Media Resources Owners and AudiencesThe Group continued to advance its Outdoor and Online (“O&O”) New Media Strategy and DOOH Plus (“DOOH+”) platform which remain central to its long-term growth plan. By combining premium OOH resources with online and data-driven capabilities, the Group has been able to deliver more measurable and more effective advertising solutions.One of the key highlights during the Year was a multi-month bus shelter takeover for a leading beverage brand, in which the Group regularly refreshed creative concepts with interactive games, multi-sensory installations, and 3D setups. By maintaining high engagement over an extended period, the campaign demonstrated the Group’s ability to turn individual projects into longer-term partnerships through sustained creative excellence and O&O-enabled audience experiences.Moreover, the Group further strengthened its programmatic DOOH capabilities and deepened cooperation with key ad-tech partners. One such campaign for a contact-lens brand used dynamic creative optimization at bus shelters, displaying real-time temperature and UV-index data and automatically adjusting content to current weather conditions. This context-aware execution showcased the Group’s ability to deliver precise, real-time O&O solutions that create added value for both brands and audiences, reinforcing O&O as a key driver of optimization and profitable growth.ProspectsAsiaray will continue to pursue disciplined growth through portfolio optimization, operational excellence, and selective investment in high-potential media assets. Building on its proven strategies and positioning O&O as the central driver of growth, the Group believes this approach provides a sound foundation for sustainable development, even amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. Looking ahead, the Group will remain focused on strengthening its core platforms across transport hubs, expanding data-driven solutions, and creating long-term value for shareholders and stakeholders.Mr. Vincent Lam JP, Chairman and Executive Director of Asiaray, concluded, “We are pleased with the continued improvement in our profitability and margin performance.

Nepal Orders Betting Apps and Websites to Close

(AsiaGameHub) - Nepal has mandated a rapid closure of online betting platforms. The directive was issued via an online government statement, granting authorities a 24-hour deadline to take action. Good to Know Nepal instructed its telecommunications regulator to block betting apps and websites within a 24-hour timeframe. Internet service providers are anticipated to assist in restricting access. The directive was issued shortly after a new prime minister assumed office. Nepal Mandates Immediate Closure In an online statement released Sunday, the Nepalese government directed the Nepal Telecommunications Authority to "immediately" shut down betting apps and websites, encompassing all forms of electronic wagering, within 24 hours. The regulator is slated to collaborate with internet service providers nationwide. The timing is significant. The order was issued mere days following the swearing-in of Balendra Shah, a 35-year-old former rapper and Kathmandu mayor, who became Nepal's youngest prime minister on March 27 after his Rastriya Swatantra Party secured a decisive victory. Tensions had been mounting. In November 2025, the Himalayan Times documented a "proliferation of gambling apps and online platforms" in Nepal, noting they were "functioning without restriction". The broader region has similarly been strengthening regulations. Last August, neighboring India approved legislation prohibiting online real-money gaming, effective October 1 of that year..

YouTube CEO: Leading Creators Still Consider YouTube Their Primary Platform

(AsiaGameHub) - YouTube appears unfazed by the competition for creator talent. During a recent interview, CEO Neal Mohan emphasized that even as prominent creators experiment with other platforms, YouTube continues to be the core of their operations. Good to Know Neal Mohan expressed no concern over Netflix and other competitors luring away top creators. He stated that leading YouTubers continue to view YouTube as their primary base. He made these remarks during The Interview from The New York Times, a program that also airs on YouTube. Mohan Claims Competitors Orbit Around YouTube Mohan characterized rival interest as affirmation rather than a danger. Referring to podcasts such as “The Breakfast Club” and “My Favorite Murder” appearing on Netflix, he described it as “flattering” that competitors “view us as the cultural hub.” He maintained a comparable stance when Conan O'Brien was mentioned. Instead of being defensive, Mohan praised O'Brien as “very funny” and added that his “Team Coco channel performs strongly on YouTube.” This composed demeanor extended to his main argument. Mohan acknowledged that creators might pursue opportunities on other platforms, but YouTube stays their constant return destination. He reported that when conversing with prominent YouTubers, they convey that “regardless of what they consider pursuing, they recognize YouTube as their home.”He additionally claimed he hasn't witnessed any major creators completely severing their relationship with the platform. “I haven't encountered YouTubers who have entirely removed their content from YouTube,” Mohan stated. He then amplified this assertion. When creators bargain with competing platforms, he asserted that those companies ultimately “yield to what our YouTubers finally recognize as the best long-term choice for them, which is to never abandon their home.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Washington Initiates Lawsuit Against Kalshi Over Illegal Gambling Allegations

(AsiaGameHub) - Washington has launched a new legal challenge against Kalshi. Attorney General Nicholas Brown filed a lawsuit on Friday, requesting that a court prohibit the platform from conducting operations within the state. Good to Know Washington asserts that Kalshi is providing illegal gambling services rather than legitimate trading activities. The state is seeking a permanent injunction, civil fines, and the recovery of funds linked to Kalshi’s in-state operations. The lawsuit relies on some of the nation’s strictest gambling regulations. Washington Claims Kalshi Has Overstepped Boundaries The legal action was filed in King County Superior Court. Brown contends that Kalshi is engaging in illegal gambling in Washington and should be barred from operating in the state. The complaint additionally seeks to recover any financial profits Kalshi is accused of earning from its Washington operations. Furthermore, the state is demanding civil penalties for each alleged violation of the Consumer Protection Act and Gambling Act. Brown articulated his stance on the platform clearly. He stated: “Kalshi wants people betting on almost everything possible in life – the outcome of elections, Supreme Court cases, even wars. For Kalshi, every event, every tragedy is nothing more than a potential way for Americans to risk their fortunes and for Kalshi to get rich. As they advance this bleak vision of the future, they line their pockets and pat themselves on the back for sneaking around Washington’s gambling laws. No more.”This statement carries weight because Washington has a long history of strict policies on gambling. While some forms of gambling are permitted on tribal territories, they are not allowed elsewhere in the state. The legal framework is also well-established: when Washington became a state in 1889, its constitution prohibited gambling on state-owned lands, and legislators later implemented an internet gambling ban in 2006. Kalshi and other prediction market organizations typically claim their contracts are trades, not bets. However, this argument might encounter significant challenges in this case. According to Washington law, gambling is defined as “staking or risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance or a future contingent event,” and this language seems expansive enough to include prediction contracts in the scope of the lawsuit.

Robert Kiyosaki Warns of a Financial Crisis in 2026

(AsiaGameHub) - Robert Kiyosaki is once more cautioning that 2026 might trigger a significant financial collapse. He isn’t just discussing risk—he’s also sharing with his followers how he’s allocating his funds and posing a straightforward question: will you end up wealthier or poorer when the next economic slump occurs? Good to Know Robert Kiyosaki states that 2026 may turn into a year of major crisis. His strategy remains unchanged: steer clear of assets that can be easily printed or expanded. Bitcoin, gold, silver, Ethereum, real estate, and wagyu cattle are central to his approach. Kiyosaki Sticks to His Proven Strategy Instead of shifting into cash, stocks, or ETFs, Kiyosaki expresses a preference for scarce assets. In his opinion, scarcity is most critical when debt is on the rise and central banks keep printing more money. Thus, he continues to prioritize gold, silver, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), real estate, and even wagyu cattle. That final entry is notable, but it aligns with the same principle. Kiyosaki notes that wagyu cattle provide him with a consistent income flow, while his other choices are part of a long-term buy-and-hold strategy. In short, he seeks assets that governments and central banks can’t print whenever they want. Bitcoin and gold have frequently served that purpose in his previous public statements. Both exist outside the traditional fiat currency system, which is precisely why he keeps returning to them. Real estate also stays on his list, with Ethereum joining Bitcoin as part of his cryptocurrency holdings. Reasons Behind His 2026 Crisis Warning Kiyosaki combines unconventional references with mainstream financial worries. On one hand, he cites Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce, claiming both identified 2026 as a crisis year. At the same time, he acknowledges that there’s no guarantee this prediction will materialize. However, he doesn’t rely solely on prophecies. He also highlights what he perceives as actual weaknesses in the economy. These include the rapid growth of U.S. debt, the Federal Reserve’s money printing, and BlackRock’s decision to temporarily halt some withdrawals. Additionally, he mentions Warren Buffett’s years-long holding of large cash reserves as another sign that underlying stress might already be accumulating. Thus, even with uncertain timing, Kiyosaki’s core message remains consistent. He views debt, liquidity risks, inflationary pressures, and asset dilution as reasons to prepare before markets decline. For readers interested in crypto and alternative assets, this aspect of his message is particularly prominent. Kiyosaki consistently presents Bitcoin as a hedge against fiat currency risks, while gold and silver fulfill a similar role in traditional safe-haven thinking. In terms of search keywords relevant to Google and AI platforms, his views revolve around several key themes: 2026 market crash warning, Robert Kiyosaki investment strategy, scarce assets, Bitcoin hedge, gold and silver hedge, Federal Reserve money printing, rising U.S. debt, and long-term wealth protection. Scarcity Is the Foundation of His Plan Kiyosaki has been making a similar argument for years. He believes individuals who remain overly invested in cash and traditional paper assets might suffer losses during a crisis, whereas those holding scarce assets could fare better. This explains why his list of assets rarely changes. He isn’t pursuing short-term trades; instead, he’s buying and holding assets he considers to have limited supply. Bitcoin’s supply is fixed, gold and silver supplies are limited by mining, real estate is a tangible asset with income potential and practical use, and while wagyu cattle may seem unconventional, they fit into his category of real-world assets that generate value over time. Kiyosaki has issued crash warnings for years, so this latest one isn’t unexpected. The only changes are the specific date and the new set of reasons supporting it. For 2026, he links his familiar warning to debt growth, central bank policies, withdrawal-related concerns, and the indicator he sees in Warren Buffett’s large cash holdings. FAQ Why is Robert Kiyosaki warning about 2026? He claims 2026 could be a year of major financial crisis. His reasons include rising U.S. debt, the Federal Reserve’s money printing, a temporary withdrawal freeze by BlackRock, and Warren Buffett’s large cash reserves. What assets does Robert Kiyosaki prefer? He favors scarce assets like gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, real estate, and wagyu cattle. His strategy excludes cash, stocks, and ETFs. Why does Kiyosaki like Bitcoin? Bitcoin aligns with his long-held belief that assets with limited supply can safeguard wealth when fiat currencies lose value or financial markets face pressure. Does Kiyosaki know a crash will happen in 2026? No. He suggests 2026 might be a crisis year but acknowledges there’s uncertainty around this prediction. Why does he mention Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce? He references both to support the idea that 2026 could be a crisis year, even though his argument also includes standard economic issues like debt, money creation, and market risks. What is the main idea behind his strategy? The core of his strategy is to buy and hold scarce assets long-term instead of relying on assets that can be expanded, diluted, or devalued by policy.

JS Global Announces 2025 Annual Results, Adjusted Net Profit Up 338%

HONG KONG, Mar 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - JS Global Lifestyle Company Limited (Stock Code: 1691.HK) ("JS Global" or the "Group") has announced its annual results for 2025, reporting revenue of USD1.66 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.1%. Gross profit was USD534 million, up 4.6% year-on-year, with gross profit margin improving to 32.2%. On an adjusted basis, the Group’s revenue from third parties reached USD1.565 billion, an increase of 14.8% year-on-year, while adjusted net profit was USD31.10 million, up 338.0% year-on-year. This demonstrates the very strong performance of the Group’s core operations and a clear improvement in profitability on an adjusted basis.In 2025, the SharkNinja APAC segment delivered strong growth, mainly driven by continued market share gains of its core product categories, successful expansion into new product categories and rapid entry into new markets. For example, in the cordless vacuum cleaner market in Japan, the brand strength and product competitiveness of Shark continued to improve. At the same time, the Group continued to launch new products in the Japan market, such as upgraded portable blenders and new cooking appliances, further enriching Ninja’s product portfolio in Japan. The Group’s core categories in Australia and New Zealand also continued to perform well, mainly benefiting from the strong performance of new products such as cordless vacuum cleaners, ice beverage makers and coffee machines. In other countries and regions in Asia Pacific, the Group is also actively expanding, accelerating its layout and development in emerging markets.In 2025, the Joyoung segment achieved modest growth in domestic sales revenue, mainly driven by the contribution of differentiated new products and product mix optimisation, and realised a recovery in profitability through initiatives such as tighter control of selling expenses and improved marketing efficiency. Various “trade-in of old for new” and “government subsidy” policies launched by different levels of government in China boosted demand for certain mid- to high-end products. In response, Joyoung promptly launched its “Space Series” of new products, which focus on key value propositions such as high quality, stylish design, outstanding value-for-money and health and wellness, enhancing consumers’ quality of life while better addressing their emotional needs.Overall, in 2025, while maintaining steady revenue growth, JS Global further strengthened the growth potential and earnings resilience of its principal businesses.

From Sell-Down Overhang to Heavy Institutional Holdings: Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Upgrades Its Shareholder Structure and Opens the Door to Value Re-Rating ACN Newswire

From Sell-Down Overhang to Heavy Institutional Holdings: Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Upgrades Its Shareholder Structure and Opens the Door to Value Re-Rating

HONG KONG, Mar 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Over the past two years, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) has persistently faced a major valuation overhang in the capital markets, namely the supply-side pressure created by the gradual exit of early shareholders through block trades.In his Chairman’s Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang said that this historical issue has now entered a stage of clear easing. Looking back at the company’s shareholder structure, Shoucheng Holdings introduced multiple rounds of strategic investors during its entrepreneurial and transformation phases. Angel-round investors included Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and ORIX; Series A investors included Hopu, JD.com, and Beijing State-owned Capital Operation and Management Center; while Series B investors included institutions such as Sunshine Insurance. These shareholders supported the company’s development for periods ranging from three to five years to as long as seven to eight years, and their gradual exits are, in essence, a normal process of capital rotation during a company’s growth.More importantly, Zhao Tianyang noted in the statement that most of the shares sold by exiting shareholders were proactively taken up by top-tier international investors and professional institutional investors from both China and overseas. This means that the sell-down pressure that previously troubled the market has largely been absorbed. It also indicates that ownership is shifting from early-stage and purely financial investors to professional institutions with stronger conviction in the company’s long-term value proposition, resulting in simultaneous improvements in both shareholder structure and shareholder quality. For the market, this is not only an inflection point in supply-side pressure, but also the basis for a shift in valuation logic.Chairman Zhao Tianyang also stated that the company is determined to ensure that investors at different stages can all share in the rewards of the company’s growth, further strengthening market expectations for the realization of the company’s long-term value.

This service supports the modernization of companies and organizations by leveraging Fujitsu's extensive system development expertise, proprietary technology, and generative AI to analyze COBOL and other source codes within existing legacy systems, automatically generating design documents to understand the system's content.Building on the achievements of its predecessor, a software analysis and visualization service launched in February 2025, this new offering standardizes analysis technology and design document generation know-how. In this service, Fujitsu proprietary technology leverages code analysis techniques on remaining design information and existing programs and manages RAG using Fujitsu Knowledge Graph–Enhanced RAG for Software Engineering. By linking large volumes of source code, it prevents omissions and hallucinations, and automatically generates highly accurate, easy-to-read design documentation.This service reduces the time-consuming process of understanding programming languages and generating design documents, which previously required extensive human effort, by approximately 97%, even without expert knowledge. Furthermore, compared to analysis solely by general generative AI, Fujitsu's proprietary technology generates consistent design information without omissions from existing system source code, even for complex COBOL language. This has improved comprehensiveness by 95%. These accuracy enhancements have also led to a 60% improvement in the readability of design documents compared to conventional methods, confirming the generation of high-quality design documents.Moving forward, Fujitsu plans to begin offering support services for the introduction of this service. Additionally, beyond automatic design document generation, Fujitsu plans to sequentially introduce features for rebuilding existing source code for future use, automatically rewriting source code, and supporting operation and maintenance, starting in fiscal year 2026. Through this service, Fujitsu aims to generate high-quality design documents, enabling a clear understanding of current system specifications and characteristics, and strongly supporting the formulation and implementation of system modernization and migration strategies.Figure: Fujitsu Application Transform powered by Fujitsu Kozuchi concept diagramToshihiro Horiuchi, Managing Executive Officer, SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. comments:“We see this announcement as an initiative that realistically advances the modernization of our legacy systems by combining Fujitsu’s deep system development expertise built up over many years with generative AI. From fiscal year 2025, we have been conducting joint verification with Fujitsu on reverse-engineering design documentation for legacy languages, including COBOL, and through this collaboration we have come to recognize the significant potential of this technology. Going forward, we hope to continue working closely with Fujitsu to achieve more practical and effective modernization.”Related LinksService Introduction Site(Japanese)Fujitsu launches gen AI software analysis and visualization service to support optimal modernization planningAbout FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.
