RockFlow Raises Tens of Millions to Advance AI Agent Capabilities and Expand Global Footprint

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 December 2025 – RockFlow, a Singapore-based AI-native fintech company, today announced the completion of a new financing round raising tens of millions of U.S. dollars. The round was led by Ant Group, with participation from Monolith Management and existing shareholders Lanchi Ventures, Forwest Capital, and Evergreen.

The fresh capital will be used to accelerate the company’s global business expansion and to further advance its proprietary financial AI Agent–Bobby.

Positioned as the world’s first financial AI Agent, Bobby marks a pivotal shift from passive AI assistance to active execution. As a proprietary innovation seamlessly integrated into the RockFlow App, it transcends traditional chatbots to revolutionize the four critical phases of investing: information gathering, analysis, strategy formulation, and order execution. Acting as a dedicated 24/7 investment partner, Bobby leverages proprietary quantitative models to instantly generate tailored, multi-dimensional investment strategies that deliver genuine AI-powered value.

The financing follows the success of the RockAlpha AI Stock Trading Arena, a live-stock market test that benchmarked LLMs against real-world volatility. The initiative validated that RockFlow’s AI agent, Bobby, can autonomously execute complex trading strategies, marking a pivotal shift from passive AI assistance to active, agentic decision-making.

Underpinning this growth is a strong regulatory foundation. RockFlow’s parent group recently secured Type 1 (Dealing in Securities), Type 4 (Advising on Securities), and Type 9 (Asset Management) licenses from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). This milestone cements the platform’s ability to conduct regulated financial business in the international financial hub. Building on this regulatory milestone, RockFlow is poised to scale its business operations worldwide.

The company plans to extend its service offerings into new verticals, including brokerage, trusts, stablecoins, and digital banking. This supports RockFlow’s goal to build a comprehensive “All-in-One” platform that integrates traditional equities with emerging asset classes such as crypto, Real World Assets (RWA), and private equity.

“AI Agents are fundamentally reshaping the entry point and user experience for financial services,” said Vakee, Founder & CEO of RockFlow. “Our mission is to make investing simple, smart and fun. We are building an interface where complex, professional financial services become accessible and personalized through AI, all while adhering to strict global compliance standards.”

LOCA Secures USD-2.5-million Investment to Accelerate EV Charging Network, Taxi Fleet in Laos

Image supplied by Loca Laos.

LOCA Company Limited, Laos’ leading ride-hailing and EV mobility platform, is pleased to announce a USD 2.5 million investment from the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), through its project development arm, InfraCo.

This strategic investment will provide growth capital for LOCA to develop an estimated 54 additional EV charging stations across Laos and increase its electric vehicle (EV) taxi fleet on the platform, further strengthening our role in driving the country’s green mobility transition.

This marks PIDG’s first-ever investment in Laos, underscoring international confidence in both LOCA’s vision and the potential of sustainable transport in the country. With a growing tech-savvy urban population and rising demand from both locals and tourists, ride-hailing is rapidly becoming one of the most important modes of transport in Laos. The ride-hailing market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.33 percent from 2025–2030, reaching a projected market value of over USD 8 million and approximately 1.6 million users by 2030.

“Partnering with LOCA reaffirms PIDG’s commitment to invest in businesses that are focused on climate action and sustainable development” said Claire Jarratt, Head of Investment Management – InfraCo at PIDG. “With this first investment in Laos, we look forward to more partnerships and investments across our focus sectors of energy and electrification; transport, logistics and connectivity; sustainable and resilient cities; and water and natural resource management to catalyse growth.”

“PIDG’s investment in LOCA will enable us to expand our EV charging network to up to 93 stations nationwide,” said both LOCA’s Co-founders Souliyo Vongdala, and Phonepasong Mixab. “This expansion goes far beyond serving our taxi fleet, it will benefit all EV owners in Laos, providing wider access to reliable and fast charging infrastructure. By making long-distance travel more convenient and reducing range anxiety, this investment will further accelerate EV adoption across the country and strengthen Laos’s transition toward a clean energy future.”

The EV sector in Laos is experiencing fast growth driven by user demand and government support, through reduction on taxes for vehicle imports, road usage, and ancillary infrastructure. To decrease their dependence on imported fuel and reduce carbon emissions, the Laos government has set targets to increase the share of EVs in the country to comprise 1 per cent of all vehicles by 2025, and over 30 per cent by 2030.

The transaction supports SDG 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure through facilitating sustainable and resilient infrastructure development through advanced financial support.

Korean GreenTech Startup MarinaChain Announces JV in Singapore to Build Integrated Carbon Compliance Hub

SINGAPORE and SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MarinaChain, a fast-growing maritime decarbonisation technology company, announced plans to establish a joint venture in Singapore as part of its global expansion strategy. The initiative aims to integrate carbon accounting, alternative fuel trading, regulatory consulting, and data infrastructure into a unified platform serving shipping companies across Asia and beyond.

MarinaChain provides AI-powered carbon accounting and compliance solutions for the maritime and logistics industry, enabling shipping companies to meet rapidly tightening global regulations such as the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) data-driven reporting requirements. The company’s flagship solution, MarinaNet, automatically extracts operational data from ships’ Noon Reports — regardless of format — and converts them into fully auditable regulatory reports, reducing the traditional manual workload by up to 80%.

Following rapid domestic traction, including onboarding more than 30 major South Korean shipping companies within six months of launch, MarinaChain is now accelerating its global push. Singapore has been selected as the company’s first strategic international base.

Singapore: The Crossroads of Global Maritime Decarbonisation

Singapore is where the future of maritime decarbonisation is being shaped,” said Sung Yeop Ha, Co-Founder and Director of MarinaChain, who leads the company’s global business and partnerships. “With shipping lines, fuel suppliers, financial institutions, and regulators operating in one ecosystem, Singapore is uniquely positioned to become the world’s most important hub for zero-carbon maritime operations.”

The joint venture is being formed with GreenMarine, a Singapore-based cleantech provider specialising in green methanol trading, sustainability consulting, and regulatory training. GreenMarine’s team includes seasoned experts from Europe, the world’s most advanced regulatory environment for maritime decarbonisation.

“MarinaChain brings deep technical capabilities in data and AI, while GreenMarine contributes its extensive alternative-fuel network and local operational expertise,” Ha said. “By combining these strengths, the joint venture aims to deliver a comprehensive decarbonisation model that the maritime industry has long needed.”

A New Blueprint for Maritime Decarbonisation

The forthcoming JV will be structured as a multi-service maritime decarbonisation hub, consolidating:

  • AI-driven carbon accounting and compliance (EU ETS, IMO DCS, CII, and more)
  • Biofuel and green methanol brokerage
  • ESG and regulatory training for seafarers and operators
  • Carbon-related consulting for shipping and logistics providers
  • A data and verification platform to streamline cross-border compliance

According to MarinaChain, the JV’s integrated model reflects the market’s urgent need to reduce fragmentation and improve data integrity in emissions reporting — a growing challenge as shipping companies face complex, multi-jurisdictional regulations.

Progress Underway with Regulatory and Strategic Support

MarinaChain is currently conducting legal and operational groundwork for the JV with support from South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT and the Global Digital Innovation Network. The company expects the JV to move into formal establishment stages in the coming months.

“Our goal is not simply to provide carbon accounting software,” Ha added. “We aim to build Singapore’s first holistic maritime decarbonisation hub — a model that can expand to cover the entire Asian shipping market.”
