SINGAPORE, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Remi Technology, a pioneer in compliant digital finance solutions, today launched the Remi Global Stablecoin Clearing System—a first-of-its-kind infrastructure integrating banking-grade settlement with built-in AML/CFT and RegTech capabilities. This breakthrough redefines cross-border finance by merging stablecoin efficiency with regulatory certainty for banks, financial institutions, and Web3 enterprises.
A New Standard for Compliant Digital Finance
The Remi System delivers a regulation-ready framework for stablecoin issuance, trading, and settlement, addressing critical pain points in global payments:
- Instant, low-cost interbank transactions with embedded compliance
- Real-time liquidity via full integration with traditional banking systems
- Live regulatory oversight for transparent, auditable workflows
- Robust AML/CFT controls to protect institutions and users from illicit funds
Remi Tech’s RegTech innovation delivers a unified on-chain/off-chain KYC infrastructure, complemented by three dedicated regulatory dashboards: Real-Time Screening, AML, and Operational Monitoring. These provide regulators with real-time data access and advanced monitoring capabilities.
By combining FinTech with RegTech in one KYC framework, Remi eliminates the speed-compliance trade-off, enabling secure and efficient inter-institutional transactions. It also delivers real-time insights to monetary policymakers via regulatory dashboards.
The system includes a dedicated module to help central banks monitor key stablecoin metrics—such as interest rates, M0, M2, and exchange rates—across onshore and offshore markets. It allows authorities to assess impacts on monetary policy transmission and prevent sharp rate fluctuations in interest and exchange rates.
Remi’s solution also features:
- Automated regulatory reporting
- AI-driven transaction monitoring
- Jurisdictional compliance tracking
“Traditional finance prioritizes security and compliance, while Web3 emphasizes efficiency. Remi uniquely resolves this trilemma with a seamless, unified solution,” stated YongCheng Zhang, CTO of Remi Tech, “Our platform enables banks and digital asset issuers to harness stablecoins’ potential—without regulatory compromise. It builds the foundation for a new era of global financial connectivity.”
Industry Firsts: Why Remi Stands Apart
- First instant stablecoin-powered interbank settlement network with low costs
- First stablecoin platform fully integrated with banking systems
- First stablecoin platform with embedded AML/CFT capabilities
- First stablecoin platform enabling real-time regulatory oversight
- First stablecoin platform enabling FX trading
- First end-to-end solutions empowering stablecoin ecosystem

Dubai, UAE, September 10th, 2025, Chainwire
Falcon Finance is excited to announce its Community Sale on Buidlpad, a compliant community-first fair token access platform that connects protocols with real communities globally.
Falcon Finance is pioneering the first universal collateralization infrastructure, designed to unlock liquidity from any crypto asset. From BTC, ETH, SOL, stablecoins, and select altcoins to tokenized RWAs such as Treasuries, Falcon transforms them into USD-pegged liquidity that seamlessly connects TradFi and DeFi. Falcon is innovating a highly scalable infrastructure that redefines how collateral, liquidity, and asset ownership interact across financial domains.
Falcon Finance has been gaining strong momentum with its USDf supply reaching $1.5 billion while its total reserves surpassed $1.6 billion. This Community Sale marks the next phase of Falcon’s explosive growth and will distribute its $FF token to participants.
Buidlpad has a proven track record of connecting tier-1 protocols with real users, with over $220 million committed by more than 40,000 verified users in three recent campaigns in 2025. Falcon is excited to build on this momentum.
Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner of Falcon Finance commented, “The launch of $FF through Buidlpad is an important milestone in Falcon’s journey to make universal collateralization accessible to everyone.
We’ve built one of the fastest-growing digital dollar ecosystems, with USDf supply already surpassing $1.5 billion, but what excites us most is opening this next phase to our community.
By working with Buidlpad, we’re ensuring that real users, and not just institutions, can also share in Falcon’s growth.
This is more than a token sale; it’s a chance for people to participate directly in building the collateral infrastructure that will power trillions in tokenized assets and shape the future of global finance.”
Falcon previously received a $10 million strategic investment from World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Now, through Buidlpad, it is extending this opportunity to the wider community.
“Falcon’s USDf is one of the fastest-growing digital dollar solutions in the space, redefining on-chain capital efficiency which is a constant demand on the market from both retail and institutional users. Its innovation to universal collateralization opens the door to bridging TradFi and DeFi liquidity. We look forward to working with the Falcon team to offer our users this great opportunity. By bringing Falcon and real communities together, we invite our users to participate in this digital dollar revolution.” said Erick Zhang (@ErickNomad), managing partner of Nomad Capital and founder of Buidlpad.
About $FF
$FF is the native token that captures the growth of Falcon Finance, the first universal collateralization infrastructure. As more assets are deposited and USDf adoption expands, $FF becomes the core asset tied to the protocol’s scale and success.
Holding $FF gives users access to protocol utility and features, but more importantly, it positions them to benefit directly as Falcon’s ecosystem grows. With $1.5 billion in USDf already issued and reserves continuing to climb, the foundation is set for expansion across DeFi and TradFi.
Falcon is building the collateral infrastructure to support trillions in tokenized assets. $FF is the way to get exposure to that future.

Mahé, Seychelles, September 8th, 2025, Chainwire
Aster, a decentralized perpetuals exchange known for its privacy-focused trading infrastructure, has officially launched Aster Genesis: Stage 2, its airdrop points campaign, just as it confirms the long-anticipated date for its Token Generation Event (TGE).
The Stage 1 campaign saw 527,224 unique wallets amassing over $37.7B in trading volume across 20 weeks, signaling strong traction in the emerging decentralized exchange (DEX) space. In just a few months since Stage 1, Aster has grabbed nearly 20% of the entire perpetual DEX market share in terms of monthly trading volume.
“Stage 1 sent a clear message: traders want more than access – they want speed, composability, privacy, and capital that keeps working,” said Leonard, CEO of Aster. “Aster is pioneering a new category – where users can earn yield from liquid staking tokens such as asBNB or stablecoins like USDF, while simultaneously leveraging these yield-generating assets as liquid collateral for perpetuals trading on Aster. This unlocks a whole new level of capital efficiency for all traders.”
Unveiling a New Vision for Aster Genesis: Stage 2
Aster Genesis: Stage 2 introduces a new points system with updated eligibility metrics, as well as higher transparency, shaped directly by community feedback from Stage 1.
Traders accumulate points through metrics such as trading volume, position holding time, referral activities, team boosts, using Aster’s asBNB and USDF as margin, and on every profit or loss realized during the event. Stage 2 kicks off immediately, setting the stage for token distribution in Q4 2025.
“Stage 2 tightens the link between engagement and reward ahead of TGE,” said Leonard. “Shaped by user feedback, the new rules prioritize fairness and incentivize authentic user engagement so that every trader can participate on a level field and build toward the airdrop.”
Over 50% of $ASTER’s total token supply has been earmarked for community airdrops, and 8.8% (704,000,000 $ASTER) will be unlocked immediately upon TGE for eligible participants who have earned Rh or Au points from Aster’s points programs. In addition, users who received Aster Gems allocations from community and partner initiatives, and those who traded on Aster Pro and earned loyalty points after Stage 1 ended, will also be eligible.
Any unclaimed $ASTER tokens will be redirected back to the ‘Airdrop’ allocation for future community rewards.
Road to TGE: Platform, Products, and Milestones
Since Spectra, Aster has advanced its vision for privacy-first trading, introducing Hidden Orders and unveiling Aster L1 Chain as a foundation for private, non-custodial execution, and bringing traditional equity exposure on-chain with 24/7 stock perpetuals. It has also recently launched Spot markets, making Aster a one-stop destination for all on-chain trading needs.
Together, these milestones set the foundation as the exchange moves toward its token generation event (TGE) set for September 17th, 2025.
$ASTER Airdrop to Launch at TGE
The Aster token ($ASTER) is expected to list on major exchanges, including Aster’s spot markets, with coordinated launch promotions to follow closely.
“The $ASTER community airdrop is scheduled to take place on the day of TGE,” said Leonard. “We’ve heard comparisons to recent, high-engagement airdrops from competing projects, but our primary focus is signal over spectacle. Authentic participation across Stages 0 and 1 is what this design seeks to reward – generously and fairly – at TGE.”
“With the issuance of $ASTER, we are opening the door to the next phase of ecosystem growth and decentralized governance,” said Leonard.
Aster Prepares for Market Competition
With the imminent launch of $ASTER, Aster is poised to compete with decentralized heavyweights such as Hyperliquid and challenge centralized venues like Binance and Coinbase – anchored by a clear focus on trader protection and capital efficiency.
“Our next leg of growth will come from distribution. Aster will form the liquidity layer behind apps that people already use: an open, capital-efficient platform that partners with wallets and DEXs like PancakeSwap, Trust Wallet, SafePal, or emerging platforms like Four.meme and more. Our goal is simple: compound liquidity across partners so on-chain markets feel invisible, instant, and always on,” said Leonard.
At the time of writing, Aster has garnered over $350M in total value locked (TVL) across seven EVM chains and Solana, with an annualized fee run-rate above $30 million – reflecting an 87.5% year-to-date growth in 2025.
About Aster
Aster is a next-generation decentralized exchange offering both Perpetual and Spot trading, designed as a one-stop onchain venue for global crypto traders. It features MEV-free, one-click execution in Simple Mode. Pro Mode adds 24/7 stock perpetuals, Hidden Orders, and grid trading, available across BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. Its unique edge lies in the ability to use liquid-staking tokens (asBNB) or yield-generating stablecoins (USDF) as collateral, unlocking unparalleled capital efficiency. Powered by Aster Chain, a high-performance and privacy-focused L1, and backed by YZi Labs, Aster is building the future of DeFi: fast, flexible, and community-first.

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has restored full access to its Bybit app on the App Store and Google Play for users in India, making a crucial milestone in its long-term dedication to the Indian market. Meanwhile, access to the Bybit website is being restored in phases and is expected to be fully available within the next 3–4 days. This is after a wider effort in regulatory harmonization and a reflection of Bybit’s dedication to trust, transparency, and security for its increasing number of Indian users.
Bybit initiated the process of regulation in the initial months of the year by becoming registered with the Financial Intelligence Unit-India (FIU-IND) as a reporting entity in January 2025. This ensured that its activities are in full accordance with India’s Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Through this, Bybit has reopened providing a range of services such as Spot, Derivatives, Options, and Copy Trading to Indian customers with solid Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures and improved security measures.
Operations were initially re-established on February 25, 2025, where authorized users could access all trading functionality. Complete functionality of the website and app was, however, brought live only after extensive interaction with authorities, which is now successfully achieved.
Commenting on the announcement, Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit, said: “India is among the most promising digital asset markets globally.

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced the launch of its Business-to-Business Unit (BBU), a new division dedicated to serving institutional and enterprise clients. The BBU will provide comprehensive solutions across secure custody, efficient settlement, and access to tokenized products, forming the cornerstone of Bybit’s institutional strategy and accelerating the convergence of traditional finance and digital assets.
The establishment of the BBU comes at a pivotal moment as institutional requirements rapidly evolve. Traditional investors are placing greater interest in digital assets and raising the industry standard, demanding capital-efficient, risk-managed solutions that mirror traditional finance while unlocking new opportunities in digital assets. Bybit is uniquely positioned to meet these needs at this critical juncture.
One of the most pressing needs is for off-exchange custody and triparty settlement models, which allow institutions to hold assets with trusted custodians, including banks, while retaining live trading credit. This structure significantly reduces counterparty risk and has become a baseline in institutional infrastructure. Bybit is addressing this gap by building custody and settlement frameworks that align with institutional expectations and regulatory best practices.
At the same time, real-world assets (RWAs) are emerging as both collateral and investable products. Institutions increasingly want to pledge short-duration, yield-bearing assets such as tokenized money market funds, Treasury bills, and receivables — rather than leaving capital idle. They also seek direct access to compliant tokenized issuances distributed through trusted platforms.
Through the new BBU, Bybit will focus on bridging these capabilities:
- Integrated off-exchange custody and triparty settlement to de-risk exposure without sacrificing market access.
- RWA collateral programs enable clients to pledge tokenized high-quality assets for margin and trading credit.
- Two-way distribution pipelines for tokenized products, connecting Web3 clients seeking access to traditional finance investments, and corporates exploring digital asset strategies, looking to enter the crypto market.
- Digital Treasury Asset (DTA) solutions, supporting traditional companies in allocating a portion of their corporate treasury into crypto with security, compliance, and yield optimization.
Yoyee Wang Appointed Head of BBU
The new BBU brings together Bybit’s Institutional (INS) team and B2B initiatives into a unified powerhouse, led by Yoyee Wang, the newly appointed Head of BBU.
Since joining Bybit in 2021, Yoyee has held several senior leadership roles, most recently serving as Global Head of Treasury and Asset Management, where she built and managed the company’s global portfolio strategies and liquidity framework. She brings more than a decade of international experience across North America, Asia, and Europe, including positions as a trading risk analyst and portfolio manager at the Royal Bank of Canada. This unique combination of crypto-native expertise and traditional finance experience makes her exceptionally well positioned to guide the unit’s growth.
“Institutions are looking for trusted partners who understand both the rigor of traditional finance and the innovation of crypto,” said Yoyee Wang, Head of BBU at Bybit. “At Bybit, we are building a complete business loop that integrates custody, liquidity, and yield — giving our clients not just market access, but a strategic edge in this new era.”

The Role of $SHARDS in the WorldShards Economy
The $SHARDS token plays a fundamental role in the player-driven economy of WorldShards, offering users a way to improve NFTs, craft more powerful weapons, and acquire rare artifacts. This integration ensures that in-game achievements and efforts hold tangible value, creating a system where the token’s worth is directly influenced by player engagement and overall ecosystem activity. Lowkick Studio aims to build a gaming environment where players not only participate in immersive gameplay but also benefit from the economic opportunities provided by blockchain technology.
Andrei Zimenco, CEO of Lowkick Studio, highlighted the importance of the token launch by stating, “The launch of $SHARDS represents more than just a token – it’s the foundation of a player-controlled economy that rewards engagement and creativity. We’re building an ecosystem where players truly own their achievements and meaningfully participate in the game’s economy.”
WorldShards’ Growing Presence in Web3 Gaming
Since its introduction in early 2024, WorldShards has been gaining attention within the web3 gaming community. The game was recently recognized as the most anticipated game of 2025 by the Blockchain Gaming Awards. Its popularity has been further demonstrated by the rapid growth of its community, which now exceeds 400,000 members. Additionally, the game has already generated over $8 million in NFT sales, with digital assets selling out within minutes of being listed.
The implementation of the $SHARDS token builds on WorldShards’ existing economic framework, which was introduced in December 2024. Players can now earn tokens through various in-game activities, including exploration and crafting, further enhancing their ability to engage with and contribute to the game’s economy.
Token Allocation and Ecosystem Development
The $SHARDS token ecosystem is designed to prioritize player participation and sustainability. The total supply of tokens is capped at five billion, with no allocations set aside for the development team or investors. The majority of the tokens, 60%, will be distributed as player rewards through in-game activities. An additional 25% is designated for ecosystem development and liquidity management on exchanges, while 15% is allocated to community growth and marketing efforts. To ensure long-term stability, the entire token supply will be vested over the next six years.
Free Trial to Celebrate $SHARDS Token Launch
WorldShards is lifting its access code requirement, making the game accessible to all users through a 30-day trial period starting August 22nd. Trial players can convert their accounts to permanent access if they meet specific in-game activity criteria.
Open Loot’s Role in Supporting the $SHARDS Token Launch
The launch of the $SHARDS token has been made possible through Lowkick Studio’s partnership with Open Loot, a platform that provides web3 game developers with essential infrastructure and technology solutions. Open Loot’s Vault technology has facilitated nearly $500 million in transactions, making it a key player in the blockchain gaming industry.
