Angel Yeast has especially promoted the innovative yeast protein products which boast natural, sustainable and high nutrition values, the exhibition showcased sample products applying the ingredients and technology that are meeting the consumers’ growing demand for naturally flavorful, healthy and sustainable food options.

Globally, the market is seeing a significant surge in consumer demand for efficient, high-quality protein supplements and weight management solutions alongside unprecedented attention to clean labels. According to a 2025 Innova survey, more than a quarter of North American consumers are interested in high-protein diet, and there has been a 668% growth in the new food and beverage launches tracked with a GLP-1 friendly claim (US & Canada, CAGR 2022-2024).

“The IFT exhibition has shown us the tremendous potential of yeast protein. It not only addresses the pain points of traditional protein but also opens new pathways for sustainable and healthy food,” said Hang Tao, General Manager of Angel Yeast North America Division. “Angel Yeast is committed to providing the industry with high-quality protein solutions of the future with our innovative yeast protein products that are meeting market demands while offering a stable and reliable supply.”

Angel Yeast’s Angeopro™ is a naturally sourced, high-quality alternative protein that aligns with modern health trends, the premium plant-based protein is especially suited in weight management and sports nutrition applications. Recent studies have found that yeast protein significantly protects against muscle loss[1]. Yeast protein products such as the Angeopro™ are produced through natural and sustainable manufacturing processes with advantages including outstanding bioavailability, a balanced and complete amino acid profile, and a nutritional value comparable to high-quality animal protein.

In the meantime, Angeopro™ has a clean, impurity-free taste without the beany aftertaste that’s common in plant proteins or the dairy notes in whey protein, which makes it a superior flavor foundation for different recipes. Its low allergy trait and non-dairy nature also allow more consumers to enjoy it worry-free.

In terms of production and supply, Angeopro™ utilizes an environmentally sustainable fermentation process to ensure a stable supply chain with significant cost advantages.

The Yeast Extract Savory by Angel Yeast is a 100% natural, non-GMO ingredient that enhances umami and savory flavors while enabling up to 20% sodium reduction without compromising taste. It also balances sweetness to reduce salt and sugar at the same time, making it ideal for plant-based foods, snacks, sauces, soups, and meat alternatives.

Angel Yeast is also offering a broader scope of product portfolio including the natural flavor yeast Feravor’-Buttery developed for baking, baking yeast, nutritional yeast tablets, vitamin K2, PQQ and innovative brewing solution, the non-alcoholic beer yeast NAO5.

Angel Yeast is always committed to the mission of ‘Developing yeast biotechnology, innovate for a healthy life’,” said Hang Tao. “We would also like to invite food manufacturers, industry partners and professionals to join us and bring consumers with healthier, more sustainable food solutions, and to create a brighter future for the food industry together.”

Duty-free product categories to increase thanks to Hainan FTP independent customs operations

HAIKOU, China, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from Hainan International Media Center:

South China’s Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) will officially begin island-wide independent customs operations on December 18, 2025, with more products to be eligible for import under the FTP’s zero-tariff policy.

A press conference on the development of the Hainan Free Trade Port was held by China’s State Council Information Office on July 23.
A press conference on the development of the Hainan Free Trade Port was held by China’s State Council Information Office on July 23.

The new customs closure system establishes an area under the independent supervision of customs authorities covering the entire island of Hainan.

Wang Changlin, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at a recent press conference held by the State Council Information Office that after independent customs operations begin, the proportion of “zero tariff” goods in the Hainan FTP will increase from 21% to 74%. Wang added that imported products undergoing at least 30% value-added processing in Hainan will be eligible to enter the mainland tariff-free.

Vice Minister of Finance Liao Min noted that after island-wide independent customs operations begin, the number of duty-free eligible product categories in Hainan will increase from about 1,900 to around 6,600. Those eligible to take advantage of the policy will also increase to include companies, public institutions, and private non-corporate entities in the FTP with import needs, added Liao.

In April 2018, China announced the decision to develop Hainan into a pilot free trade zone. In June 2020, a master plan was unveiled to establish an initial FTP policy and institutional framework by 2025 and develop the province into a high level, globally influential FTP by 2050.

Over the past five years, the actual utilization of foreign capital in Hainan reached 102.5 billion yuan ($14.35 billion), with an average annual growth rate of 14.6%. A total of 8,098 new foreign-funded enterprises were established at an average annual growth rate of 43.7%. There have been 176 countries and regions that have invested in the FTP, and citizens of 85 countries are currently eligible for visa-free entry into Hainan.

Policy preparations for island-wide independent customs operations are already in place, said Feng Fei, secretary of the CPC Hainan Provincial Committee. The Ministries of Commerce and Finance, together with other departments, have issued a set of measures and lists to safeguard the ongoing implementation of the FTP’s independent customs operations.

As a leading AI-driven fintech platform, the Company is dedicated to integrating AI across diverse scenarios, enabling millisecond-level risk control, hyper-personalized marketing, and seamless intelligent service experiences.

AI-Powered Transformation Across the Value Chain

In 2024, Yiren Digital advanced its “AI + Multi-use Cases” strategy, leveraging its proprietary high-performance AI models to enhance risk management, personalized marketing, and intelligent customer service. This resulted in sector-leading customer satisfaction rates of 94% in financial services, 98% in insurance brokerage, and 96% in lifestyle solutions.

In 2024, the Company’s self-developed Hawkeye anti-fraud model, combining AI automation with human oversight, intercepted 16,800 fraudulent loan applications and prevented losses of RMB 180 million. Additional manual interventions averted a further RMB 54.43 million in potential losses. Yiren Digital maintained rigorous information security standards and completed 37 security tests and successfully defended against millions of malicious scans and cyberattacks.

Yiren Digital continued to expand the reach of inclusive finance, facilitating over RMB 53.6 billion in loans for more than 4 million clients, including small and micro business owners as well as women entrepreneurs. The Company also provided over RMB 86 billion in risk coverage for gig economy workers, including truck drivers and delivery personnel. In addition, it promoted insurance and philanthropy programs for child development and rural revitalization.

Leading the Green Transition

The Company reduced energy use and carbon emissions, with over 90% of the equipment in its Beijing offices being energy-efficient, and a 5% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions year-on-year. Strict lending restrictions were placed on business owners in high-emission sectors, with financing directed towards low-carbon industries, including support for new energy, high-efficiency technologies, resource recycling, and environmental monitoring. For example, in 2024, the Company facilitated loans totaling RMB88.48 million for 3,156 business owners in the energy-efficient industry and RMB16.46 million for 593 business owners in the environmental monitoring sector.

Binance integrates Tokenized Real-World Assets USYC and cUSDO into Off-Exchange Settlement Solutions

Largest crypto exchange will waive banking triparty fee and absorb institutional custody partner Ceffu’s MirrorX and MirrorRSV service fees until 2026 

DUBAI, UAE, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem behind the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and user base, is pleased to announce it will support tokenized yield-bearing assets USYC and cUSDO through Binance Banking Triparty as well as through its institutional custody partner Ceffu, giving institutional users the additional choice of holding USYC and cUSDO off-exchange while simultaneously enjoying seamless access to the Binance platform and receiving yield on their pledged collateral.

This integration expands the range of supported collateral for institutional users beyond traditional assets such as fiat currencies and Treasury bills on Binance Banking Triparty, and beyond native crypto assets such as bitcoin on Ceffu.

Tokenization of real-world assets excluding stablecoins has increased to $24 billion in June 2025 from $15.2 billion in December 2024, and is projected to reach up to 30% of traditional finance assets worth over $400 trillion by 2034, indicating a potential exponential growth of over 100x for crypto which currently has a market cap of $3 trillion.

“Our integration of tokenized real-world assets demonstrates our continued focus to enhance user experience on Binance. By supporting USYC and cUSDO on Binance Banking Triparty as well as through our custody partner Ceffu, we are offering our institutional clients more choices to optimize their capital efficiency while balancing risk control requirements,” said Catherine Chen, Head of Binance VIP & Institutional. “Tokenization of real-world assets enables users to benefit from the inherent properties of digital assets, such as faster and cheaper settlement, 24/7 availability, and on-chain transparency, and will unlock further crypto adoption.”

“This collaboration with Binance marks a meaningful advancement in how institutions can engage with tokenized real-world assets,” said Kash Razzaghi, Chief Business Officer at Circle. “By making USYC available as off-exchange collateral with yield potential, we’re bringing capital efficiency and risk-managed optionality to institutional investors—bridging traditional finance and blockchain-powered markets.”

“We’re entering a new phase of institutional crypto adoption, where compliance focused, yield-bearing assets like cUSDO are becoming central to how capital is deployed on-chain,” said Jeremy Ng, Founder and CEO of OpenEden. “cUSDO’s integration into Binance Banking Triparty and their custody partner Ceffu showcases how institutional-grade RWAs can deliver the capital efficiency and security needed to drive meaningful participation from institutions.”

USYC is the digital representation of interests in Hashnote International Short Duration Yield Fund Ltd, a tokenized money market fund (TMMF) registered in the Cayman Islands (the “Fund”). The Fund invests primarily in reverse repurchase agreements backed by U.S. government securities. The Fund offers near-instant redemption into USDC. USYC will also be natively issued on BNB Chain, increasing its on-chain accessibility to more users.

cUSDO is a wrapped version of OpenEden OpenDollar (“USDO”), a rebasing yield-bearing stablecoin issued by OpenEden Digital, a Bermuda-licensed and regulated entity. cUSDO and USDO let holders earn yield generated from reserves backed by U.S. Treasury bills and reverse repurchase agreements.

Binance’s Global and Growing Banking Triparty Coverage

Binance was the first crypto exchange to introduce a triparty banking solution modeled after traditional finance in 2023, enabling institutional clients to custody their trading collateral under their own corporate account with a network of regulated banking partners, while enjoying seamless access to Binance’s full suite of institutional solutions and unparalleled deep liquidity.

To meet demand, Binance has expanded its network of triparty bank partners to enable institutional clients worldwide to meet their risk controls and confidently enter crypto while scaling for growth.
