HONG KONG  , Nov. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The presentation ceremony for the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2025 was held this evening (November 21) with SmartMore Corporation Limited being presented the Award of the Year from the Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan. After winning the Smart Business Grand Award with “SMore ViMo – AI Vision Model Development & Deployment Platform”, the SmartMore Corporation Limited also claimed the highest honour of this year’s competition.

Addressing the presentation ceremony, Mr Chan said, “The Hong Kong ICT Awards sets new benchmarks for excellence, inspires both seasoned professionals and budding talent to expand their imagination, push the boundaries of technology, and create innovative solutions to address society’s pain points and challenges.”

Noting that a Best Use of AI Award was featured again across all eight categories of this year’s Hong Kong ICT Awards, Mr Chan pointed out the growing importance of AI in every sector. He said that’s why the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government has made AI a focus of its innovation and technology strategy, to develop it as a core industry, and to promote it as an enabler to upgrade traditional sectors.

The Hong Kong ICT Awards aims to recognise and promote outstanding local Information and Communications Technology ICT innovations and applications. It has been well-received as an annual flagship event of the local industry since its debut in 2006. In addition to encouraging and recognising local innovation, the Awards also serve as a springboard to help the winners and their products enter the Chinese Mainland and overseas markets.    

Organised by the Digital Policy Office and supported by the collaborative efforts of eight Leading Organisers, the Steering Committee, the Standards Assurance Sub-committee, the Grand Judging Panel, the Marketing and Promotion Sub-Committee, judges, supporting organisations and industry associations, this year’s competition concluded successfully. The Chairman of the Grand Judging Panel and the President of Hong Kong Metropolitan University, Professor Paul Lam, congratulated the awardees and praised their outstanding innovative projects and ideas, which demonstrate excellence in enhancing the quality of life and delivering benefits to society.

Professor Lam said, “This year’s awardees have leveraged innovative ideas and cutting-edge technologies, combined with industry expertise, to present practical and creative solutions for an array of commercial and social challenges. I look forward to witnessing the successful implementation of their ideas. I am confident that they will profoundly benefit both businesses and communities, creating a positive impact on society.”

DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report, in collaboration with Block Scholes.  The report analyzes the sharp decline in major digital assets and the continued rise in risk aversion across crypto markets.

Key Highlights:

• Perpetuals: Open interest in leveraged swap contracts remains far from optimistic and has moved sideways around 9 billion dollars for the past week, nearly half the notional value prior to the Oct. 10, 2025 leverage unwind.
  • Options: Implied volatility levels for BTC and ETH are now higher than the peak reached following the Oct. 10, 2025 meltdown, resulting in a now firmly inverted term structure for BTC and ETH.
  • Block Scholes’ Risk Appetite Index measures the level of euphoria or panic in the spot market, with current momentum showing a strong relationship to recent spot returns.

The report shows that Bitcoin fell from $105,000 to below $82,000 during the past week. The decline erased its year-to-date gains and pushed the average ETF investor below breakeven, with the average entry price estimated at about $89,000. The downturn accelerated following the stronger than expected US September jobs data along with confirmation that no October employment report will be released. Such developments are set to reduce visibility for Fed policymakers, which added to the overall risk aversion.

Derivatives markets reflected the ongoing shift in sentiment as traders moved toward short-dated downside protection and volatility climbed at the front of the curve. While spot markets drove much of the recent selloff, perpetual futures open interest remained relatively unchanged, signaling limited appetite among traders to rebuild leverage following the October unwind.

The full analysis is available in the Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report.

YIWU, China, Nov. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world. With the Spring Festival approaching, overseas shipments of New Year prints and calendars are already on their way, and the domestic market is well into its peak season. According to Wang Qingyu, owner of Yuxin New Year Goods on Yiwugo, high-quality flocked couplets, “Fu” posters, and red envelopes are flying off the shelves in China, with monthly sales reaching roughly one million units—many of which are customized. Overseas demand is equally robust, particularly from customers in the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, with non-Chinese buyers now leading the market.

With nearly three decades of experience in the New Year print and calendar industry, Wang has fulfilled orders for numerous well-known domestic and international brands, including banks, insurers, auto manufacturers, large retailers, and various custom projects. “The cost gap between premium raw materials and printing techniques versus lower-quality products can exceed ten times,” Wang explained. Even so, most customers continue to prefer mid- to high-end offerings.

Wang recalled that a customer from Saudi Arabia has been doing business with Yuxin New Year Goods for over two decades. The customer saw a notable increase in annual order volume, especially in the early years, thus evolving from an individual buyer into a leading local wholesaler. Today, its annual procurement exceeds RMB 2 million, and the customer credits Yuxin New Year Goods’ consistent quality for driving its own business expansion.

Beyond quality, Wang is particularly proud of the company’s design capabilities. Wang cited the example of a Dubai client who had long sourced from a Taizhou factory but remained dissatisfied with the design of a particular desk calendar. After discovering Yuxin New Year Goods through Yiwugo, the customer received a first draft that matched their expectations exactly, and the sample’s texture far surpassed that of their previous supplier. The client has continued to partner with Wang ever since.

Speaking of confidence in both design and quality, Zhang Chengzhou, owner of Yiwu Chenmo Calendar Trading Firm, has plenty to share.

Since 2002, Zhang has been exporting wall calendars, desk calendars, and “Fu” character designs to customers worldwide—products that are not only beloved by overseas Chinese communities but also enjoy strong sales across Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and beyond. In recent years, Zhang has seen particularly robust growth in the African market.

Specializing in embossed relief and gold-stamping techniques, Chenmo is serving numerous mid- to high-end buyers with custom needs. For 24 years, the company has upheld a premium-quality positioning, assigning designers to each customer and refining every detail—from outer packaging materials and visual design to moisture-proof and water-resistant sealing—thereby delivering a superior customer experience and earning the firm an almost complaint-free reputation.

A Jamaican customer first reached out to Zhang through Yiwugo a decade ago, visiting his store to purchase her initial set of samples. Over the years, supported by her own hard work and Chenmo’s consistently quality, she has grown from an occasional buyer into a major client with annual purchases exceeding RMB 1 million. She often says she remains grateful for choosing Chenmo’s premium offerings from the very beginning.

According to Zhang, thanks to Yiwugo and offline conversions, Chenmo now acquires more than 500 new qualified customers each year. With exceptionally high customer retention, the company has maintained strong, steady growth for many years.

Time is the ultimate measure of quality. As the Year of the Horse draws near, Zhang’s factory—now more than 20 years old—is busier than ever. With the support and visibility provided by Yiwugo, more outstanding enterprises like Yuxin New Year Goods are shining brightly across the globe.
