VinFast launches residual value guarantee program in the Philippines, offering value protection up to 90 percent


MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 November 2025 – VinFast has announced its Residual Value Guarantee (RVG) Program for the Philippine market, under which the company provides a guaranteed vehicle value of up to 90 percent of the original price. This pioneering policy provides customers greater peace of mind when transitioning to electric vehicles, accelerates the broader shift toward green mobility, and reaffirms VinFast’s long-term commitment to the Philippine market.

To strengthen customer confidence in the long-term value of electric vehicles, starting in November 2025 VinFast will apply a guaranteed residual value plan based on a fixed annual depreciation schedule. After the vehicle is inspected and confirmed to meet eligibility criteria, the maximum guaranteed residual values are set at 90 percent after six months of use, 86 percent after one year, 78 percent after two years, and 70 percent after three years.

The RVG Program applies to VinFast’s entire product lineup in the Philippines, from the VF 3 to the VF 9, and is available to new customers. The program is the latest in a series of customer-centric solutions VinFast is implementing in the Philippines to facilitate the transition to electric vehicles. Earlier initiatives include a vehicle warranty of up to 10 years, three years of free charging at stations operated by strategic partner V-Green, flexible financing options, and 24-hour technical support and roadside assistance.

Mr. Antonio Zara, CEO of VinFast Southeast Asia, stated: “With a residual value guarantee of up to 90% of the vehicle’s list price, VinFast aims to make EV ownership more accessible and reassuring for Filipino consumers. When combined with our other support programs, we believe electric vehicles will soon become a natural and reliable choice for households and individual users across the Philippines. This program reflects our long-term commitment to the market and reinforces our strong belief in the quality of our products.”

After more than a year in the Philippine market, VinFast has steadily strengthened its presence with a diverse EV portfolio, flexible sales policies, and dedicated after-sales services. Alongside its growing network of authorized dealerships, VinFast collaborates with leading local partners to operate a wide network of maintenance service centers, providing customers with convenient and consistent service nationwide.

In the next phase, VinFast will continue to expand its distribution and service network in key locations in the Philippines, further developing a comprehensive EV ecosystem centered on sustainable mobility. This reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to Filipino consumers and lays the foundation for sustainable growth moving forward.

EARTHDAY.ORG CELEBRATES HISTORIC EUROPEAN UNION MOVE TO MAKE CLIMATE EDUCATION CENTRAL TO CLIMATE ACTION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — EARTHDAY.ORG (EDO), the global organizer of the Earth Day movement—observed by more than one billion people each April 22—celebrates the European Union’s landmark decision to integrate climate education into school curricula from kindergarten through grade 12, as part of its 2025 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement.

“The inclusion of climate education in the EU NDC is an important step toward equipping students with green skills and countering climate disinformation.  This progress has been made possible through the collective engagement of civil society organizations working in dialogue with public authorities, with EARTHDAY.ORG contributing as one of many committed partners in this process.” Katarzyna Wrona, Director at Department of Clean Air and Climate Negotiations, Ministry of Climate and Environment, Republic of Poland

The Danish Presidency formally submitted the European Union’s NDC to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on 5 November 2025. By officially incorporating climate education across its 27 member states, the EU joins more than 60 other countries that have adopted EARTHDAY.ORG–model language in their NDCs—helping to cement climate literacy as a global standard for climate action.

“The inclusion of climate education in the EU’s NDC is a significant victory for young people across Europe. Strengthening green skills in curricula will make young Europeans better prepared and more competitive in the green job market but also combat the rise of climate misinformation which is arising across Europe.

This achievement is the result of strong collaboration between governments, youth, and civil society. Our dear youth colleague from EARTHDAY.ORG has been an important advocate for advancing climate education at the EU level.” Sigurd Krabbe, Denmark’s Youth Delegate to the UN for Climate and Environment

This milestone marks the result of over a decade of bold EDO advocacy.

“As we navigate the climate emergency, quality climate education is as fundamental as teaching reading and writing. Teachers are determined to empower students for climate action and a just transition but we need policies that provide us with enabling conditions.  Through our Teach for the Planet campaign and together with EARTHDAY.ORG, we are advocating for governments everywhere to recognize and fund climate education as the essential adaptation measure and resource that it is.”
Dave Edwards, General Secretary, Education International

The World Bank’s Choosing Our Future: Education for Climate Action finds demand for “green skills” outpaces supply. The World Economic Forum reports job postings requiring at least one green skill rose 22.4% from 2022 to 2023.

“The green transition will create over 100 million new jobs globally in the next decade. To fill these roles, workers need green skills, and climate education teaches them. It’s non-negotiable for global economic growth and prosperity.” Kathleen Rogers, President, EARTHDAY.ORG.

“The transition to a green economy won’t happen without a workforce with the right skills, and demand for green skills continues to outpace supply. EARTHDAY.ORG‘s success in helping more than 150 countries include climate education in their updated NDCs is a major step forward.

This achievement aligns with insights from LinkedIn’s 2025 Global Green Skills Report: climate education doesn’t just tackle climate change—it connects people to jobs and economic opportunity. By prioritizing climate education, these nations are investing in both a sustainable future and an inclusive economy.” Efrem Bycer, Head of Workforce and Climate Policy Partnerships, LinkedIn

Last month, the Vatican endorsed climate education and integral ecology, highlighting EDO’s advocacy in Vatican News alongside the release of its updated NDC.

The EU and the Vatican are not alone — nations across the political and economic spectrum are now integrating climate education into their NDCs.

“It has been clearly recognized that this joint effort among countries would not have been possible without international organizations such as EARTHDAY.ORG and agencies such as the United Nations and UNEP. They are crucial because they provide support, financing, and initiatives that help countries move forward.” Minister Juan Carlos Castro Vargas, Minister of the Environment of Peru

COP30, currently underway in Belém, Brazil, provides an ideal forum to discuss financing so that every nation can scale climate education.

“The Kenya Climate Change Strategy mooted in 2021 aims at enhancing climate change knowledge, interpretation and its applications among learners, teachers, trainers and facilitators by 2030. The specific actions range from integration of climate curriculum at all levels, capacity building for teachers and trainers in climate change, and enhancing research and innovation in climate change. In this regard, Kenya is proud to have integrated climate education into the heart of our NDC 3.0. This decisive action, aligned with the global efforts of the Climate Education Coalition, Earth Day, and multilateral development banks, signals our commitment.

Now, our priority is to move from commitment to implementation. This requires concrete support from global climate finance. Investing in climate education is not just an expense; it is one of the most effective forms of adaptation—it means training new, aware, and prepared generations to face future challenges while ensuring a just and sustainable development path for all.” Hon. Julius Migos Ogamba, Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Education, Kenya

“We grew up learning about the great forests, oceans and rivers of the world but not how to care for them even though our lives are dependent on them. We didn’t learn that the industries that make us prosperous are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions and that we must use clean energy and clean tech to keep the planet livable. Thank you to the Governments supporting the climate curriculum – our children will know better.” Sharan Burrow, Vice Chair, European Climate Foundation, former General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) & former teacher

The EDO NDC CLIMATE EDUCATION TRACKER  is updated daily and serves as an important tool for monitoring the integration of climate education into national commitments. The schedule for our on-the-ground teams’ speaking events at COP30 can be found HERE.

Leap Therapeutics Rebrands as Cypherpunk; Expands Leadership Team to Drive New Zcash Treasury Strategy

Khing Oei appointed Chairman of the Board;
Will McEvoy appointed Chief Investment Officer and Member of the Board;
Cypherpunk Technologies Inc. announces acquisition of 203,775.27 ZEC.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Leap Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LPTX) today announced it will change its name to Cypherpunk Technologies Inc., and unveiled a digital asset treasury strategy to accumulate Zcash’s native coin, ZEC. Cypherpunk has to date used $50 million of proceeds from the previously announced private placement to purchase 203,775.27 ZEC at an average purchase price of $245.37 per ZEC.

In addition, the company also plans to change its ticker symbol to (Nasdaq: CYPH) as part of the rebranding under the Cypherpunk name. The company will begin trading under its new name and ticker symbol CYPH on Thursday, November 13. Until then, investors can continue to buy and sell the company’s stock under the current ticker symbol LPTX without interruption.

Cypherpunk also announced the appointment of Khing Oei and Will McEvoy to its Board of Directors, effective November 11, 2025. This strategic move comes as part of the Company’s recently completed $58.88 million private placement led by Winklevoss Capital to initiate a digital asset treasury strategy. Notably, Winklevoss Capital was the only institutional investor in the private placement, contributing a majority of the total raised.

“The recent weak performance of digital asset treasury companies stems from PIPEs dominated by short-term, mercenary capital. We’ve taken a different path by building a syndicate of value-aligned investors who believe in the long-term importance of Zcash and privacy for the United States and the world.” Will McEvoy, Chief Investment Officer of Cypherpunk

Khing Oei has been appointed Chairman of the Board, while Will McEvoy will also serve as the company’s first-ever Chief Investment Officer, effective in each case as of November 11, 2025.  Concurrently with Mr. Oei’s appointment, Christopher Mirabelli, PhD, will step down from his role as Chairman, while remaining a member of the Board.

 “We are pleased to welcome Khing and Will to the Board of Directors, and to have Will serve as Chief Investment Officer as we advance our strategy to create long-term shareholder value through active participation in Zcash. Participant control and privacy, enabled by Zcash, are critical as financial transactions move increasingly to blockchain and tokenization. The rebranding and new leadership appointments mark a transformational step in expanding our mission as we enter a new phase of growth.” Douglas E. Onsi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cypherpunk

Why This Matters

Cypherpunk is a company dedicated to self-sovereignty. As the world becomes increasingly digitized, privacy has become a rare and vanishing resource. And despite their critical importance, privacy enhancing technologies remain under-adopted. Backing privacy today is both a generational mission and a massive opportunity. Privacy is the foundation that allows freedom of speech, thought, and association to thrive. Without it, these societal tentpoles may exist on paper but can’t be exercised meaningfully in practice. In other words, privacy is the silent precondition of freedom. Additionally, in a world where privacy is scarce, it becomes the most valuable commodity.

Why Zcash?

Zcash is one of the oldest and most respected privacy-preserving blockchains, launched in 2016 as a fork of Bitcoin with advanced cryptography that enables selective transparency. Built on the same sound monetary principles as Bitcoin, with a fixed 21 million coin supply, Zcash introduced a breakthrough in privacy technology through the use of zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs), allowing transactions to be verified without revealing sender, receiver, or amount. This innovation has since influenced the entire cryptographic landscape, inspiring privacy advancements across other blockchains like Ethereum and Solana.

Since its inception, Zcash has processed tens of millions of transactions and consistently ranked among the top privacy coins by market capitalization. Its underlying protocol continues to evolve with major upgrades — including Halo 2, a trustless recursive proof system that eliminates the need for trusted setup ceremonies and enhances scalability. Nearly a decade after launch, Zcash remains one of the few digital assets with the potential for both Bitcoin-level decentralization and cutting-edge privacy, offering real utility with private yet auditable digital transactions.

Cypherpunk Technologies Inc. sees Zcash as digital privacy in asset form, the same way Bitcoin has proven to be digital gold. Zcash also represents an important hedge against the transparency of Bitcoin and the existing financial infrastructure in an AI-abundant future.

New Board Members

  • Khing Oei is a seasoned investor with a strong track record of investing in public, private and digital markets. Oei is the Founder and CEO of Treasury, an emerging euro-denominated Bitcoin treasury firm. Before Treasury, Oei was the Founder and CEO of Captur (formerly AlphaSwap), a decentralized asset management platform. He was previously the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Eyck Capital, a London-based event-driven hedge fund focused on distressed and special situations across credit and equities, managing over $200 million in assets. Prior to that role, Oei was a Managing Principal and Portfolio Manager at Bardin Hill (formerly Halcyon), a $10 billion multi-strategy hedge fund where, as CEO of its European operations, he led European distressed investments and managed the firm’s $2.5 billion CLO platform. Oei began his career at Goldman Sachs in the Special Situations Group and later worked at Fortress Investment Group’s Drawbridge Special Opportunities Fund. He holds a MSc in Econometrics from The Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
  • Will McEvoy is a Principal at Winklevoss Capital, where he invests and identifies opportunities on the frontier, from crypto and space to energy, bio, and defense. He focuses on companies and technologies that slow entropy and create order in critical civilizational domains. Before joining Winklevoss Capital, Will authored Bitcoin and crypto research at Fundstrat and helped build one of Dynasty Financial Partners’ highest-performing client platforms. He also serves on the board of Real Bedford FC and holds a degree from The George Washington University.

Dah Sing Bank Launches Investor Confidence Index

Overall Optimism at 68 amongst Hong Kong Investors; Those with higher AUM exhibit higher confidence; Those with positive views expect an average gain of 7.9% in next 12 months


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 November 2025 – Dah Sing Bank, Limited (the “Bank”) today announced the launch of its first-ever Investor Confidence Index (the “Index”), a proprietary study designed to assess investor sentiment and gain deeper understanding on the investment behaviour of Hong Kong residents. The inaugural index debuts at 681, reflecting overall optimism across the city’s investor base, with affluent investors and high net worth (HNW) investors showing notably stronger confidence scores of 70 and 77, respectively. Among those respondents expressing positive outlook in next 12 months, their expected return reached 7.9% on average.

Dah Sing Bank released its inaugural “Investor Confidence Index” to assess investor sentiment and provide strategic insights into the investment behaviour of Hong Kong residents.
Dah Sing Bank released its inaugural “Investor Confidence Index” to assess investor sentiment and provide strategic insights into the investment behaviour of Hong Kong residents.

With an aim to derive insights on emerging wealth management needs and provide reference for development of relevant products and services for different customer segments, the Bank commissioned independent research firm Acorn Organization Limited to conduct a quantitative survey in September 2025. The study engaged 619 Hong Kong residents across three distinct investor segments based on liquid asset excluding property: mass (HK$100K–1M below), affluent (HK$1M–8M), and HNW investors (HK$8M+). This broad scope offers a differentiated view of how investors across wealth tiers manage portfolios spanning multiple asset classes—including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, foreign currencies, commodities, and virtual assets.

Up to 89% of respondents plan to increase (34%) or maintain (55%) their investment allocation in the next 12 months. HNW investors show the strongest intent to increase allocation (39%), compared to 36% of affluent investors and 31% of mass investors. Among different asset classes, investors show particularly strong confidence in deriving positive return from stocks (58%) and bonds (52%).

Technology persists as the most popular investment theme, with 52% of respondents eyeing opportunities in the sector in the next 12 months—a notable 11% increase from the past 12 months.

The study also revealed that most investors monitor their portfolios at least weekly, while the majority trade at least monthly. Many investors make their investment decisions primarily based on their personal analysis of public information, while affluent and HNW investors show a higher tendency of relying on professional advice from relationship managers. Challenges cited in monitoring investment performance include market volatility, difficulty in consolidating performance across asset types, limited information, and time constraints—underscoring the need for timely, relevant insights and trusted guidance.

Mr. Cliff Chan, Executive Director and Group Head of Wealth Management at the Bank, commented, “At Dah Sing Bank, we believe confidence is built on clarity. Aligning with investors’ optimistic outlook, investment behaviour, and return expectations, we are pleased to offer holistic wealth management solutions tailored to support their financial goals. Earlier this year, we made sovereign bonds available to all our customers, providing them with wider choices of relatively stable investment. Furthermore, we are excited to be imminently launching an upgrade to our existing US securities trading service, which will offer round-the-clock* US stock trading at highly competitive brokerage fees. Looking ahead, we are actively exploring to introduce trading of virtual asset exchange traded funds (ETFs), which are gaining popularity among investors.”

“Our VIP Banking segment is dedicated to supporting affluent and HNW customers with the tools and information they need to make informed investment decisions and helping them monitor their portfolio performance. Addressing common challenges such as limited information and time constraints amid market volatility, we aggregate professional market analyses and leverage big data and artificial intelligence to deliver insights and market updates that are timely and relevant to customers.”

The launch of the Index reinforces the strategic value offered by the Bank’s VIP Banking business. Built on a high-tech, high-touch service model, VIP Banking blends digital intelligence with personalised care to help customers achieve their wealth and investment goals. With versatile capabilities in investment and insurance planning, VIP Banking offers a guided wealth journey that empowers customers to act with clarity, purpose, and confidence.

d-Matrix Raises $275 Million to Power the Age of AI Inference

Series C led by global consortium values company at $2 billion, accelerates product and customer expansion as demand grows for faster, more efficient data center inference

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — d-Matrix, the pioneer in generative AI inference compute for data centers, has closed $275 million in Series C funding, valuing the company at $2 billion and bringing the total raised to date to $450 million. The new capital will advance the company’s roadmap, accelerate global expansion and support multiple large-scale deployments of the world’s highest performing, most efficient data center inference platform for hyperscale, enterprise, and sovereign customers.

The oversubscribed round attracted leading investment firms across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East. The funding is co-led by a global consortium including BullhoundCapital, Triatomic Capital, and Temasek. The round also includes new participation from the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and EDBI, alongside follow-on participation from M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund, as well as Nautilus Venture Partners, Industry Ventures, and Mirae Asset.

d-Matrix’s full-stack inference platform combines breakthrough compute-memory integration, high-speed networking, and inference-optimized software to deliver 10× faster performance, 3× lower cost, and 3–5× better energy efficiency than GPU-based systems. Solutions powered by d-Matrix’s Corsair™ inference accelerators, JetStream™ NICs and Aviator™ software can produce up to 30K tokens per second at 2ms per token on a Llama 70B model. The platform’s compute-dense design allows customers to run up to 100B-parameter models incredibly fast in a single rack.

This step-change in performance and efficiency directly addresses growing AI sustainability challenges. By enabling one data center to handle the workload of ten, d-Matrix offers a clear path to reducing global data center energy consumption while enabling enterprises to deliver cost-efficient, profitable AI services without compromise.

“From day one, d-Matrix has been uniquely focused on inference. When we started d-Matrix six years ago, training was seen as AI’s biggest challenge, but we knew that a new set of challenges would be coming soon,” said Sid Sheth, CEO and co-founder of d-Matrix. “We predicted that when trained models needed to run continuously at scale, the infrastructure wouldn’t be ready. We’ve spent the last six years building the solution: a fundamentally new architecture that enables AI to operate everywhere, all the time. This funding validates that vision as the industry enters the Age of AI Inference.”

Investor confidence reflects d-Matrix’s differentiated technology, rapid customer growth, and expanding network of global partners — including the recently announced d-Matrix SquadRack™ open standards-based reference architecture with Arista, Broadcom, and Supermicro. A strong product roadmap featuring 3D memory-stacking innovations and a customer-centric go-to-market strategy further establishes d-Matrix as a cornerstone of the new AI infrastructure stack.

Investor Voices
“As the AI industry’s focus shifts from training to large-scale inference, the winners will be those who anticipated this transition early and built for it,” said Per Roman, Founder of BullhoundCapital. “d-Matrix stands out not only for its technical depth but for its clear strategic vision. The team understood before anyone else that inference would define the economics of AI — and they’re executing brilliantly on that insight.”

“AI inference is becoming the dominant cost in production AI systems, and d-Matrix has cracked the code on delivering both performance and sustainable economics at scale,” said Jeff Huber, General Partner at Triatomic Capital. “Their digital in-memory compute architecture is purpose-built for low-latency, high-throughput inference workloads that matter most. With Sid, Sudeep, and their world-class team, plus an exceptional ecosystem of partners, d-Matrix is redefining what’s economically possible in AI infrastructure.”

“The explosion in AI inference demand shows us that efficiency and scalability can be key contributors to revenue capture and profitability for hyperscalers and AI factories,” said Michael Stewart, Managing Partner at M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund. “d-Matrix is the first AI chip startup to address contemporary unit economics in LLM inference for models of a range of sizes that are growing the fastest, with differentiated elements in the in-memory product architecture that will sustain the TCO benefits with leading latency and throughput.”

Morgan Stanley served as the exclusive placement agent, and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati served as legal counsel to d-Matrix.
