BingX Stands Out as One of the First Exchanges to Offer Trump’s WLFI Pre-Market Trading

PANAMA CITY, Aug. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BingX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 AI company, announced it is among the first exchanges to support pre-market futures trading for World Liberty Financial (WLFI), establishing itself at the forefront of this emerging DeFi token launch. This early-access support follows BingX’s pre-market spot trading of the token earlier this year on July 2—allowing BingX users to be among the first to trade WLFI via both leveraged and direct market instruments.

To commemorate this listing, BingX has rolled out an exclusive trading campaign. Users completing their first WLFI futures trade valued at 200 USDT or more will receive a 50 USDT bonus, while all participants are eligible to take part in a 200,000 WLFI spin-to-win draw.

WLFI is the governance token of World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance platform inspired by efforts to pioneer USD-backed stablecoins and DeFi applications. The project is designed to enable community-led governance through WLFI token voting rights, support U.S. dollar alignment in digital finance, and operate under a token release plan where only 20% of tokens are unlocked initially—with future releases governed through community consensus.

Being among the first exchanges to enable WLFI pre-market futures underscores our dedication to offering market access ahead of the curve,” said Vivien Lin, Chief Product Officer at BingX. “WLFI represents a unique example of token-governed protocol evolution. By pairing advanced market access with compelling user incentives, BingX ensures our community can participate with both clarity and confidence.

As it continues to diversify its offerings, BingX’s support for WLFI highlights its commitment to enabling early-access to innovative DeFi assets. This update reaffirms BingX’s dedication to offering timely access to the most trending tokens for its users and fostering a smarter, more accessible, and evolving trading ecosystem.

SafetySam Launches New Product for Fire Hazard Mitigation


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 August 2025 – SafetySam, a provider of PPE and safety equipment, has introduced the Bridgehill Fire Blanket in Singapore. This fire containment solution is designed to address fire hazards involving electric vehicles (EVs), lithium-ion batteries, and high-temperature industrial machinery, where conventional methods such as water, foam, or powder may be less effective or pose additional hazards.

SafetySam

How the Technology Works

The Bridgehill Fire Blanket uses a dual approach of oxygen deprivation and thermal insulation. Its advanced, high-performance fibres withstand temperatures up to 1,600°C. Once deployed, the blanket is tested to reduce core temperatures from 1,100°C to under 400°C in 30 seconds. This not only suppresses flames but also traps hazardous gases such as hydrogen fluoride, a dangerous by-product of lithium battery fires. Its flexible, non-stick structure allows just two people to deploy it in under 20 seconds. For workplaces with forklifts, scooters, or lithium tools, the Bridgehill Fire Blanket reduces downtime, minimises the release of toxic gas, and protects adjacent stock and structures from secondary ignition.

Watch here: Bridgehill Fire Blanket in Action – Safely Extinguish Fires in Seconds

Purpose-Built for Modern Fire Hazards

Most fire blankets are intended for small kitchen or clothing fires. The Bridgehill Fire Blanket is engineered for large, complex fire scenarios, including:

  • EVs and conventional vehicles
  • Lithium-ion battery storage and recycling facilities
  • Electric forklifts, e-scooters, and battery-powered tools
  • High-temperature machinery in industrial settings

SafetySam offers two product lines:

  • Single-Use Blanket – Recommended for public and commercial facilities.
  • Pro X Reusable Blanket – Designed for emergency responders, with durability for up to 30 deployments and repairable via included kits.

Rising Risks, Urgent Solutions

With EV adoption accelerating, lithium-ion battery demand is projected to grow 27% annually to 4,700 GWh by 2030. Thermal runaways from these lithium-ion battery fire hazards can reach 2,760°C, far exceeding the melting points of concrete and steel structures. They may also release high volumes of toxic smoke.

“Emerging technologies like EVs bring new fire hazards that traditional firefighting tools cannot fully address,” said Jeffrey Seah, General Manager at PDS International. “The Bridgehill Fire Blanket is a decisive, zero-damage first-response solution that empowers facilities, first responders, and even homeowners to act fast and protect lives, property, and the environment.”

Complementary Safety Measures

This launch complements SafetySam’s comprehensive battery safety equipment, which includes Emtez Safety Cabinets for Lithium-Ion Batteries, New Pig Obsidian Pillows for absorbing electrolyte leaks, and Transport Storage Boxes for safe battery transit and storage.

The company is also conducting information sessions and demonstrations with industry groups, facilities managers, and emergency services to raise awareness of fire hazards associated with emerging technologies and to discuss potential mitigation strategies.

8Wonder: Moments of Wonder: Where Music Pens the Spirit of a Flourishing Vietnam, and the Will to Soar


HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire 25 August 2025 On the evening of August 23, the National Exhibition Fair Center (Hanoi) was transformed into a pulsating heart of sound and light. More than 50,000 people were swept away by the “8Wonder: Moments of Wonder 2025” music festival, a spectacular event organized by the Vingroup as part of the official celebrations for the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day.

Photo1

An Unforgettable Night of Unity and Emotion

“8Wonder demonstrates Vingroup’s serious investment in making Vietnam a cultural destination for the region,” said Dinh Tuan Dat, a performing arts expert who has followed the festival since its inception in 2023. “I particularly loved the duet between Tlinh and J Balvin. It’s a truly memorable moment, a Vietnamese artist collaborating with an international star on stage. It feels like the first step for Vietnam’s entertainment industry onto the global stage.”

From the moment the lights flashed on and the first deep bass notes reverberated through the air, the vast venue became an “emotional universe.” Multi-layered LED screens and laser beams cut across the night sky, creating a breathtaking visual spectacle. The music was a full-body experience, with every bass drop felt as much as heard. S(TRONG) Trong Hieu kicked off the night with his powerful vocals on the song Kho bau (Treasure), opening the floodgates of emotion.

The night was peppered with performances that resonated deeply with the national celebratory mood. A highlight was Hoa Minzy’s rendition of Bac Bling, where she was joined on stage by over 200 schoolchildren dressed in the red and gold of the Vietnamese flag. The crowd chanted her name, a testament to the powerful connection the Bac Ninh native forged with the audience.

The energy soared when singer Soobin appeared in a stylized ao dai, a traditional Vietnamese tunic. He began with his song Nguoi Viet (The Vietnamese), standing amidst a sea of light from thousands of cell phones. “Are you proud to be Vietnamese?” he asked the crowd. The resounding, thunderous cheer was a declaration, a moment when music transcended the stage to become a collective proclamation of national identity.

According to performing arts expert Dinh Tuan Dat, Vingroup’s organizers masterfully wove a subtle message into Soobin’s performance. “The notes from the dan bau [a traditional Vietnamese monochord] he played on the 8Wonder stage brought the audience back to their roots,” Dat observed. “Then the modern piano and beat brought them back to the present, a powerful metaphor for Vietnamese culture reaching the global stage.”

The atmosphere shifted dramatically when DPR IAN took the stage, his hypnotic voice and captivating presence electrifying the crowd. During hits like Don’t Go Insane and Limbo, the energy peaked when he stepped into the crowd, accepted a conical hat (non la), and wore it while playing his bass guitar.

The climax arrived with the explosive collaboration between Tlinh and J Balvin. The stage was a kaleidoscope of color, a “Latin carnival,” as Tlinh’s energetic rap blended seamlessly with the Latin music icon’s vibrant beats. The audience danced, cheered, and waved Vietnamese flags. It was a fiery performance, but for industry watchers, it was a historic moment: a Vietnamese artist standing shoulder-to-shoulder with a global superstar, not as a background act but as an equal. In that instant, the dream of “Made in Vietnam – Heard Worldwide” no longer seemed distant, but a tangible reality on the 8Wonder stage.

A Strategic Vision for Vietnam’s Cultural Future

Looking back at the entire event, it’s clear that 8Wonder was not just a concert but a strategic cultural statement. Every detail, from the choice of artists and musical concepts to the international collaborations, reflected a long-term vision: to bring Vietnamese culture to the world using the universal language of music and art.

When Hoa Minzy performed Bac Bling with schoolchildren in the national colors, and when Tlinh and J Balvin waved the Vietnamese flag, they transformed traditional elements into modern art that resonated with both young audiences and the international community.

“Each performance at 8Wonder was a cultural slice,” said Dinh Tuan Dat. “It both honored national values and paved the way for international integration.”

As an event celebrating the 80th National Day, 8Wonder had an even deeper significance. The stage at the National Exhibition Fair Center became a space where Vietnamese and international artists could collaborate, sing, and create together.

Dr. Bui Quoc Viet, a former member of the Independent Advisory Council of the Vietnam Tourism Association, noted that “8Wonder created a two-way street, bringing the world to Vietnam and Vietnam to the world.” He added that the festival solidified “Vietnam’s position as a leading destination for festivals and entertainment in the region.”

Dr. Viet concluded that for Vingroup, 8Wonder was more than just a demonstration of its ability to organize a major international event. It was about the company’s commitment to supporting the nation’s development, choosing to contribute to cultural growth. By creating an international stage for Vietnamese artists, the company helped build cultural value, foster a sense of national pride, and fuel the ambition for Vietnam to reach beyond its borders.

The festival ended with a brilliant fireworks display, a joyous crescendo to the National Day celebration. Beyond the lights and the music, 8Wonder: Moments of Wonder 2025 became a new symbol, a symbol of pride, of integration, and, above all, of a strong, ambitious Vietnam moving forward with the world.

Acceleration in Clinical Development! Leads Biolabs’ LBL-034 Dosed First Patient in Phase Ⅱ Trial

NANJING, China, Aug. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nanjing Leads Biolabs Co., Ltd. (“Leads Biolabs” or the “Company,” Stock Code: 9887.HK) today announced the first patient has been successfully dosed in the Phase Ⅱ trial of LBL-034 (GPRC5D/CD3 BsAb) following strong Phase Ⅰ data. This milestone endows LBL-034 with the potential to become the first domestic T-cell engager (TCE) therapy targeting GPRC5D.

Innovative Design with Best-in-Class Potential

LBL-034 is a GPRC5D/CD3 bispecific T-cell engager with a uniquely designed 2:1 format. By optimizing anti-CD3 affinity and steric hindrance, LBL-034 effectively redirects and activates T cells to target GPRC5D+ cancer cells, being less prone to inducing nonspecific T-cell activation. This dual advantage—robust antitumor efficacy combined with favorable safety—positions LBL-034 as a best-in-class candidate.

Outstanding Phase Ⅰ Data with Initial Evidence of CAR-T-Like Efficacy

LBL-034 has demonstrated strong efficacy signal and favorable safety profile among over 50 enrolled patients at dose levels up to 1200 μg/kg in its open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation/expansion phase Ⅰ trial for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). At higher doses, LBL-034 showed a robust objective response rate (ORR) similar to CAR-T treatment. Notably, promising efficacy was also observed in the subgroup of patients with difficult-to-treat extramedullary (EMD) plasmacytomas. Furthermore, the minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate was also significantly higher than with current standard of care. The detailed results of this study, including efficacy, safety, PK/PD, biomarker, and exposure-response analyses, will be presented at the 2025 American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting.

Phase Ⅱ Trial Initiated

The Phase Ⅱ trial of LBL-034 is a multi-center, single-arm, multi-cohort clinical trial led by Professor Lu Jin of Peking University People’s Hospital, with participation from over 20 hospitals across China. The trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LBL-034 in patients with various relapsed/refractory plasma cell neoplasms.

Dr. Charles Cai, Chief Medical Officer of Leads Biolabs, stated: “The successful dosing of the first Phase Ⅱ patient marks a critical step in our TCE pipeline and validates our unique molecular design. We will continue advancing clinical development with high standards to deliver China’s first GPRC5D-targeted TCE therapy, offering patients safer and more effective options.”

Dr. Xiaoqiang Kang, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Leads Biolabs, added, “LBL-034’s exceptional Phase Ⅰ data and smooth Phase Ⅱ initiation underscore the core advantage of our Leadsbody™ platform—conditional activation. This success bolsters confidence in our broader pipeline and accelerates breakthroughs in TCE therapies for solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, and autoimmune diseases. We remain committed to driving innovation and delivering transformative treatments globally.”

About LBL-034

LBL-034 is a bispecific T-cell engager targeting both GPRC5D and CD3 developed using Leads Biolabs’ proprietary LeadsBody™ platform. LBL-034 is designed with a 2:1 format, with two binding sites targeting GPRC5D and one targeting CD3. This design enables LBL-034 to effectively redirect and activate T cells to target GPRC5D+ cancer cells, being less prone to inducing T cell exhaustion and cell death and minimizing the risk of cytokine release syndrome and immunotoxicity.

LBL-034 has exhibited promising efficacy signals in our preclinical studies. According to Frost & Sullivan, as of November 2024, LBL-034 is the second most clinically advanced GPRC5D-targeted CD3 T-cell engager globally and the first in China in terms of clinical progress, and is expected to become the first domestic TCE therapy targeting GPRC5D. LBL-034 obtained the orphan drug designation from the FDA for the treatment of MM in October 2024.

About Leads Biolabs

Founded in 2012, Leads Biolabs is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of innovative therapies to address underserved medical needs in oncology, autoimmune, and other severe diseases both in China and globally.

We are a front-runner in next-generation immuno-oncology treatments with a differentiated pipeline of 14 innovative drug candidates, including six clinical-stage drug candidates, of which four lead products are among the top-tier clinically advanced candidates globally.

Preview of the 2025 CIFTIS: Key Highlights Revealed in Advance


BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 August 2025 – The Shougang Park, a former industrial site transformed into an “urban showcase,” will welcome the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (2025 CIFTIS) this September. The annual theme of this year’s event is “Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services,” with over 800 companies already expressing interest in participating offline.

With less than a month remaining before the opening of CIFTIS, how are preparations progressing, and what new highlights can be expected from the exhibitions? Reporters conducted on-site visits for a closer look.

More Open: New Entry Policies to Facilitate International Engagement

It was learned that exhibitor recruitment for both the thematic and specialized exhibitions has been largely completed. Nearly 70 countries and international organizations have indicated their intention to participate by setting up booths or hosting events. The nine major specialized exhibitions have attracted interest from more than 800 companies to exhibit offline, including over 330 Fortune Global 500 companies and leading industry enterprises. The overall internationalization rate of the exhibition exceeds 20%, covering 24 of the top 30 countries and regions in global service trade.

Yang Huasen, Spokesperson of Beichen Group, stated that over 170 forums, conferences, and promotional events have already been scheduled. More than 70 companies, including Schneider Electric, have applied to release over 130 new products and achievements during the event.

To further facilitate international engagement, this year’s CIFTIS continues to expand on entry facilitation measures initiated last year, such as setting up immigration service counters at the venue. This year, seven new convenience measures will be implemented, including: allowing foreign participants with official invitations to apply for port visas at Beijing Capital International Airport and Beijing Daxing International Airport; offering online accommodation registration services for foreign visitors; and streamlining the business travel filing process for Chinese enterprises attending events in Hong Kong and Macau.

Australia, as the guest of honor country, will have an unprecedented exhibition scale at this year’s event. Nearly 60 institutions and enterprises will form the Australian National Pavilion. Daniela Assis, the Economic and Commercial Counselor of the Australian Embassy in China, expressed: “The bilateral trade relationship between Australia and China is marked by strong complementarity, with stable cultural ties and significant achievements in cooperation across various fields. Australia is honored to be the guest of honor at the 2025 CIFTIS and looks forward to more communication and exchanges with attendees and visitors.”

Dale Pinto, the Global President and Chairman of the Board of CPA Australia, remarked, “CIFTIS provides a platform for us to enhance our brand recognition, engage with other organizations, and explore new cooperation opportunities. Participation in the fair not only raises the visibility of CPA Australia but also strengthens our relationship with Chinese partners, laying a solid foundation for future development.”

More Focused: From “Two Venues” to “One Unified Venue”

In contrast to previous CIFTIS events, which were held at both the National Convention Center and Shougang Park, this year’s event will be held entirely at Shougang Park in Shijingshan District, Beijing. Since CIFTIS moved to Shougang Park in 2021, the venue has fostered a new ecosystem for integrated consumption across culture, business, sports, tourism, and entertainment, covering the full spectrum of “eat, stay, travel, shop, and enjoy.”

Jiang Nan, Deputy General Manager of Shougang Group Co., Ltd., explained that Shougang Park will fully host CIFTIS activities this year. The core exhibition area will exceed 100,000 square meters, with green spaces and public areas also open to the public. These spaces are designed to foster human-to-human and human-to-scene interactions, enhancing the overall attendee experience. “We are upgrading Shougang Park to version 5.0 for the fair, planning a convention town, and creating a new exhibition ecosystem by integrating the ‘Two Parks and One River’.”

In addition to optimizing and upgrading the spatial layout, Shougang Park has also introduced a double-decker sightseeing bus and enhanced the night view framework of “Two Axes—Two Zones—Two Lakes—Multiple Centers.” Scenic viewpoints will be established to meet the quick transfer and sightseeing needs of visitors. The Shougang Park Operations Service Center has integrated data on foot traffic, vehicle flow, and other aspects of the exhibition area, enabling centralized scheduling and further improving service quality.

Hu Hao, Deputy District Governor of Shijingshan District, explained that the district has fully coordinated local resources, driving improvements with a dual approach of technology and services. Focus is being placed on key areas such as transportation, accommodation, and dining to enhance support capabilities. “There are currently 72 specialty restaurants around Shougang Park.

More Integrated: Multi-faceted Integration of Culture, Business, Tourism, and Sports Creates Diverse Consumption Scenarios

Beijing is also leveraging the CIFTIS platform to create diverse service consumption scenarios. Wan Weiwei, Deputy Director of the Beijing International Trade in Services Affairs Center, noted: “By emphasizing interactive experiences, CIFTIS will integrate service consumption with culture, business, and tourism, using unique venues such as blast furnaces to host engaging activities.”

Lin Zengwei, Second-Level Inspector at the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, added that over 40 supporting events will be held across Beijing, including cultural tourism and sports activities. At the heart of this is Shougang Park, which will host 11 unique activities, such as events at Big Air Shougang, to further enrich sectors like “ticket-stub economy” and “night economy.”

During CIFTIS, business negotiations, exploring the history of the Beijing West Ancient Path, and enjoying the Olympic spirit at Big Air Shougang… The “Big Air Shougang—Moshikou Camel Caravan Road—Shougang Industrial Heritage” Themed Tourism Route in Western Beijing is being planned to integrate culture, tourism, and consumption. During the event, Beijing will organize business inspection tours for exhibitors and visitors, focusing on areas such as technological empowerment, investment promotion, industrial tourism, cultural heritage, and the night economy. Around 10 business inspection routes will be designed and launched.

To strengthen the interconnection between CIFTIS and the surrounding areas, Shijingshan District will also open a special driverless transport service, connecting the exhibition area with the Yongding River waterfront. This initiative is part of a broader effort to connect the fair with surrounding cultural and ecological attractions. Projects like the Xishan Yongding River Cultural Belt Greenway in Shijingshan will be showcased before the fair opens, providing an enhanced visitor experience and easier access to cultural and natural attractions.
