Tradewind Finance Concludes Its 25th Anniversary Year, Marking a Quarter-Century of Supporting Global Trade

MÖNCHENGLADBACH, Germany, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As 2025 draws to a close, Tradewind Finance, an international trade finance provider, is marking the completion of its 25th anniversary year with a renewed focus on the future. After a quarter of a century supporting exporters, importers, manufacturers and other businesses with working capital and risk protection, the company is celebrating a year of solid growth and continued impact on global trade.

Founded in 2000 in Germany, Tradewind set out with a clear mission: to help suppliers bridge cash flow gaps and equip them with the tools to trade securely across borders. What began with receivables-based financing for textile suppliers in Turkey selling to European importers has since evolved into tailored trade finance structures for companies around the world operating in more than 20 industries.

Today, Tradewind continues to purchase receivables, unlock cash tied up in invoices and help businesses manage extended payment terms, all while navigating increasingly complex supply chains and trading environments. In 2025, the firm further strengthened its presence in key markets and expanded relationships with companies seeking flexible alternatives to traditional bank financing.

Looking back on 25 years – and ahead to what’s next

Over the past 25 years, Tradewind has built a footprint across four continents, reaffirming its on-the-ground, relationship-driven approach to supporting businesses where they operate. Its core proposition remains the same: combining financing, credit protection and collections in one comprehensive trade finance solution designed to enhance working capital, reduce risk and enable secure cross-border trade.

“Reaching the end of our 25th anniversary year is both a milestone and a moment of reflection,” said Ansgar Hütten, Executive Director at Tradewind. “We’re incredibly proud of the trust our customers have placed in us – from fast-growing exporters entering new markets to manufacturers supplying critical goods around the world. Their ambitions have shaped our evolution as a company and continue to inspire us as we plan the next chapter.”

Throughout financial crises, Covid-19, geopolitical uncertainty, shifting trade policies and recurrent supply chain disruptions, Tradewind has focused on one constant: providing reliable liquidity so that its customers can pursue growth, maintain operations and honor commitments to their own partners and employees in both strong and challenging market conditions.

Supporting businesses where trade finance is needed most

Tradewind’s growth strategy continues to focus on strengthening its presence in markets where companies seek greater access to trade finance, particularly in emerging and fast-developing economies. The company remains committed to supporting sustainable trade and incorporates ESG considerations into its risk assessment and operational practices, aligning with clients that are building resilient, future-ready supply chains.

“Thanks to diligent financial planning and teams that put our customers’ needs first, we can look back on 25 years of impact with pride,” said René Pastor, CEO of Americas and Europe. “At the same time, we see immense opportunity ahead – from digital tools that make cross-border financing more efficient, to new sectors and regions where we can help close the trade finance gap. Our ambition is to contribute positively for the next 25 years, not only to our customers and our own organization, but to international trade as a whole.”

To mark the anniversary, Tradewind has also produced a short video that highlights how the company started, the challenges it helps businesses solve and the role it plays in enabling secure international trade today.

As Tradewind concludes its anniversary year, the company extends a special thank you to its customers: the businesses behind trend-setting apparel, critical metals, premium beverages, consumer goods and many other products that keep global commerce moving.

“It’s an honor to support our customers with personalized trade finance that not only strengthens their financial position, but also helps them realize their full potential as companies,” Pastor added.

HCLTech to Acquire Telco Solutions Business from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to Further Strengthen its Engineering and AI-led Network Propositions to Global Communication Service Providers

Deepens HCLTech’s engineering, AI and cloud-native offerings for the telecom industry

NEW YORK and NOIDA, India, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HCLTech, a leading global technology company, today signed an agreement to purchase HPE’s Telco Solutions business, further strengthening its market-leading position in the telecom industry.

Following an earlier transaction with HPE in 2024, HCLTech will, through this new acquisition agreement, further gain industry-leading intellectual property (IP), product engineering and R&D talent, and client relationships with top global Communication Service Providers (CSPs). Telco Solutions supports more than 1 billion devices through its solutions, across 200+ deployments globally. It enables Operations Support Systems (OSS), Home Subscriber Server (HSS) and 5G Subscriber Data Management (SDM), with advanced AI-led closed-loop network automation for seamless network monetization.

Telco Solutions was formerly part of HPE’s Communications Technology Group (CTG), from which HCLTech acquired certain assets in 2024. The previously acquired CTG portfolio—spanning Business Support Systems (BSS), network applications, service cloudification, and data intelligence—has been successfully integrated and is now growing.

HCLTech will leverage this expanded capability to accelerate network transformation, Network as a Service (NaaS) and AI-led autonomous networking. As part of this agreement, nearly 1,500 engineering and telecom specialists from 39 countries will join HCLTech’s global delivery team to help scale the business.

“We are very excited about the opportunity ahead, as HCLTech is uniquely positioned to empower CSPs to realize their transformation into true technology companies—advancing the shift from telcos to techcos,” said Anil Ganjoo, chief growth officer and global head of telecom, media, publishing & entertainment and technology (TMT) at HCLTech. “Integrating this highly skilled HPE team and their market-proven IP strengthens our product-aligned model and accelerates our shift toward higher-value, IP-led services and non-linear growth.”

“HCLTech has a compelling vision for enabling CSPs that will harness the Telco Solutions business’s momentum and track record of customer success to further accelerate innovation and customer impact,” said Rami Rahim, executive vice president, president and general manager, Networking, HPE. “This transaction will yield benefits for CSPs for many years to come, as both HPE and HCLTech pursue their unique, differentiated approaches to supporting this vital sector of the market, through strategic focus and commitment to innovation.”

This transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in approximately six months.

OMTech Launches Aurora: A True 14-Inch DTF Printer That Brings Industrial-Speed Apparel Printing to Any Workspace

ANAHEIM, Calif., Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — OMTech, industry leaders in machine technology, has announced the Kickstarter launch of the Aurora, a true 14-inch direct-to-film (DTF) printer designed to help makers and small businesses produce vibrant, durable transfers faster without the oversized footprint, need for constant monitoring, and inefficient workflows that hold many DTF setups back. Built around dual Epson I1600 industrial print heads, the Aurora pairs high throughput with ease of use, turning what’s often a multi-machine process into a streamlined do-it-all production system for makers and custom apparel shops. The OMTech Aurora is available now, with deals and discounts for early adopters. Learn more here.

OMTech Aurora
OMTech Aurora

For apparel creators that aim to speed up the process of taking designs from concept to completion, traditional machines have serious limitations, such as wasted usable film area, slow batch turnaround, inconsistent color, and maintenance routines that disrupt production. Aurora tackles these bottlenecks starting with a true 14-inch effective print width so users can fit more per run and reduce wasted margins—while comfortably handling designs sized for T-shirts up to 5XL.

“DTF is one of the fastest ways to grow an apparel business—but too many creators get stuck managing equipment instead of concentrating on creativity. With the Aurora, we focused on true usable width, production-speed output, and the maintenance and workflow automation that keeps production effortless,” said Samson Yang, OMTech CEO.

With dual I1600 print heads, Aurora is built for fast fulfillment—reaching up to 50 ft²/hour (4.64 m²/h)—while maintaining 720 × 1800 DPI detail for crisp type, sharp edges, and intricate artwork that looks premium on finished garments. Operators hit repeatable results across orders thanks to the Aurora’s G7 Targeted certification, supporting more accurate, consistent color from print to print.

DTF reliability often comes down to what happens between jobs, not just during them. The Aurora integrates automatic print head maintenance with timed auto-cleaning and auto moisturizing injection, along with white ink circulation and stirring to reduce clogs and keep output stable. Real-time ink alerts help prevent mid-run surprises, and a touchscreen workflow supports one-touch ink priming without manual cartridge setup—so production stays moving from order to order.

Aurora also addresses the “DTF sprawl” problem—where printers, powder units, and curing equipment take up an entire room. Its vertical build is designed to take as little as 3.44 ft² and free up significant workspace compared to traditional printer-and-shaker layouts. It further supports a more continuous workflow with roll-to-roll automated powdering, shaking, and curing, reducing handoffs and helping shops run longer batches with less intervention.

Aurora represents a new standard for small shop DTF production: affordable innovation that seamlessly producing quality prints with smart automations and user-friendly design. Aurora is available now for pre-order on Kickstarter, where backers can access launch day deals and incentives. To learn more, click here.

About OMTech

OMTech is a California-based manufacturer of professional creative equipment designed to make advanced production tools accessible to creators, educators, and small businesses. Expanding beyond laser technology, OMTech now offers a growing ecosystem of solutions for modern makers—including the Aurora DTF printer—built to support apparel decoration, product customization, and scalable production. With a focus on reliable engineering, intuitive workflows, and customer-driven support, OMTech continues to empower users to turn creative ideas into finished products with confidence.

USD 9 Trillion in Assets Commit to ADGM as Abu Dhabi Finance Week Redefines Global Capital Flows

ABU DHABI, UAE, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi, is entering its second decade with strengthened momentum, as it announces the addition of 11 new major global financial institutions representing more than USD 9 trillion in assets under management. This remarkable increase, from USD 635 billion last year and USD 450 billion in 2023, marks one of the most significant expansions by any international financial centre globally this year and reinforces the ADGM’s position as the region’s fastest-growing and one of the world’s most dynamic jurisdictions for asset management.

 

The announcements, made in the run-up to and during the fourth and largest edition of Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW), highlight the city’s growing influence as the “Capital of Capital” and position ADFW as a global platform underscoring Abu Dhabi’s role as a global financial hub where capital flows are powered by leading institutions and a world-class regulatory ecosystem at ADGM.

With total assets under management represented at ADGM rising sharply, the centre is consolidating its position as the fastest-growing international financial centre in the region and one of the most dynamic globally. The momentum signals not incremental growth, but a step-change in Abu Dhabi’s role within the global financial system.

During ADFW and in the run up to the event, Cantor Fitzgerald, BBVA, Arab Bank Switzerland Gulf Ltd, Plenary ME Infrastructure Partners Ltd., UBS Group, KKR, Julius Baer, HarbourVest, Madison Realty Capital, Partners Group, DWS and Monroe Capital along with Eurasian Development Bank, ERM, and DLA Piper, announced establishing presence in ADGM.

These commitments mark a strong start to ADGM’s next decade of growth, positioning the centre among the world’s top 5 international financial centres. Building on its strong foundations, ADGM will continue to set international benchmarks across priority growth areas, not only limited to asset management but also extending towards the full spectrum of financial services covering digital assets, sustainable and green finance, and advanced family office and private wealth services, underpinned by a progressive and proportionate regulatory framework aligned with the highest global standards.

H.E. Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of ADGM, said: “The commitments announced during ADFW underscore Abu Dhabi’s rising influence at the centre of global capital flows and the long-term confidence international institutions place in the clarity and scale of our vision. Over the past decade, Abu Dhabi has established a resilient, trusted and progressive financial ecosystem, grounded in robust regulatory foundations. The addition of global firms managing more than USD 9 trillion in assets is not a milestone in isolation, but a clear signal of trust in Abu Dhabi’s world-class IFC and its ability to support increasingly sophisticated financial activity. As ADGM enters its next decade, our focus is on deepening market capability, expanding financial architecture, and reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s role as a globally connected hub where capital is allocated with purpose, and long-term value is created.”

In a historic development within the global digital asset regulatory space, the fourth edition of ADFW marked the announcement of Binance becoming the first crypto exchange to secure a formal global licence from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM to operate under a comprehensive regulatory framework from Abu Dhabi. This global first is another major step in ADGM’s efforts to be the most progressive and compliant digital-asset ecosystem in the world. 

Richard Teng, Co-CEO of Binance, commented: “During ADFW, Binance became the first global crypto exchange to secure a comprehensive global licence under the ADGM framework, marking a world first for the digital asset industry. This milestone reflects our compliance-first philosophy and our continued focus on transparency, security, and user protection. Our partnership with ADGM and our presence at ADFW reinforce our strong belief in the long-term growth of the crypto ecosystem. We remain deeply committed to the region and will continue to work closely with regulators, including the FSRA, to support responsible innovation and foster sustainable industry growth.”

Additionally, other entities within the fintech and digital asset sectors, including iCapital, announced the opening of its first office in the Middle East in Abu Dhabi, while firms such as Hashed Global Management Ltd., Circle Internet MEA Ltd., Galaxy Digital and Animoca Asset Management are anchoring more of their activity from ADGM.

Another announcement from IHC-owned RIQ, which said it plans to partner with Swiss Re, one of the world’s leading reinsurance & insurance providers, to advance risk, data and AI-powered reinsurance solutions from their base in ADGM.

JPMorgan expanded its payments and treasury services business from ADGM, which will allow the firm to offer a wide range of solutions, including liquidity management and multi-currency payments capabilities to clients in the region. For more information, please visit: www.adfw.com

SINGAPORE, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fluxion Network, Mantle’s full-stack native decentralized exchange (DEX), has officially launched  on its Mainnet, marking a major milestone in the network’s push toward scalable, asset-focused on-chain finance. Purpose-built for spot trading, Fluxion is designed to support the next wave of decentralized finance with a strong focus on real-world assets (RWAs) and asset-backed liquidity.

Fluxion Mainnet Goes Live on Mantle, Advancing Native Spot Liquidity for DeFi and RWAs
Fluxion Mainnet Goes Live on Mantle, Advancing Native Spot Liquidity for DeFi and RWAs

Built natively on Mantle, Fluxion delivers a modular spot trading infrastructure optimized for capital efficiency, execution quality, and transparency. Rather than serving as a general-purpose DeFi venue, Fluxion is intentionally focused on spot liquidity and structured asset markets, positioning itself as a foundational layer for RWA-oriented trading on Mantle.

“As Mantle continues to evolve into a leading execution and liquidity layer for RWAs, native infrastructure matters,” said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle.

“Fluxion represents the kind of purpose-built, ecosystem-first DEX we want powering spot liquidity on Mantle which is efficient, composable, and designed for real-world asset use cases from day one.”

A Purpose-Built Spot DEX Architecture

Fluxion’s spot trading stack is composed of three complementary liquidity and execution modules, designed to work cohesively while remaining composable across the Mantle ecosystem:

  • AMM V2 Pools, enabling efficient routing for both stable and volatile spot trading pairs
  • AMM V3 Concentrated Liquidity, allowing liquidity providers to deploy capital within defined price ranges for improved capital efficiency and reduced slippage
  • Orderbook with RFQ-Based Execution (Upcoming), a hybrid model combining on-chain orderbook logic with request-for-quote execution, designed to support larger, asset-sensitive trades while remaining interoperable with AMM liquidity

Together, these components form a full-stack spot DEX architecture optimized for asset-backed markets and institutional-grade execution on Mantle.

Supporting Mantle’s Growing RWA Ecosystem

As Mantle expands its ecosystem across RWAs, asset-backed tokens, and institution-friendly on-chain finance, Fluxion is positioned to serve as the network’s core spot liquidity and execution layer.

For Mantle-native projects, Fluxion provides:

  • A production-ready venue for asset-backed spot liquidity
  • Efficient, low-cost execution for RWA-related tokens
  • A unified platform for token launches, price discovery, and long-term liquidity formation

With live ecosystem integrations including SCOR, Fluxion has already begun supporting diverse asset profiles, demonstrating readiness for production-scale liquidity and real-world asset use cases.

“Fluxion was built from the ground up to serve spot markets that demand precision, depth, and capital efficiency,” said Sham Lee, CMO at Fluxion.

“Launching natively on Mantle allows us to tightly integrate execution, liquidity, and ecosystem distribution which creates a spot DEX purpose-built for RWAs and the next phase of on-chain markets.”

Roadmap and Future Development

Following its mainnet launch, Fluxion’s next steps includes:

  • Continued optimization of AMM V2 and V3 spot markets on Mantle
  • Deployment of the RFQ-enabled orderbook execution layer
  • Deeper integrations with Mantle-native protocols and asset issuers
  • Expansion of liquidity incentives and participation frameworks

Through these initiatives, Fluxion aims to establish itself as Mantle’s RWA-focused spot liquidity hub, supporting efficient price discovery and sustainable on-chain markets as real-world finance continues its transition on-chain.

About Fluxion Network

Fluxion Network is a decentralized exchange infrastructure built on Mantle, designed to support the next wave of DeFi and on-chain RWA markets. By combining AMM-based liquidity, RFQ-enabled execution, and ecosystem-aligned design, Fluxion aims to provide the foundational trading and liquidity layer for asset-backed markets on Mantle.

About Mantle

Mantle positions itself as the premier distribution layer and gateway for institutions and TradFi to connect with on-chain liquidity and access real-world assets, powering how real-world finance flows.

With over $4B+ in community-owned assets, Mantle combines credibility, liquidity and scalability with institutional-grade infrastructure to support large-scale adoption.
