  • Bevacizumab is a targeted therapy used to treat lung and colorectal cancers, both among the top three cancers ranked by death in Colombia[1].
  • This inaugural shipment—dispatched around two months after Colombia’s marketing approval—demonstrates the company’s efficiency, while validating its antibody commercialization platform, as well as robust production quality and supply chain management systems.

SUZHOU, China, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BioDlink announced the first international shipment of its bevacizumab injection biosimilar to Colombia in partnership with Kexing BioPharm. Both companies marked this milestone with a special ceremony when specially-decorated transport vehicles arrived.

Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), is widely used in the treatment of various cancers, including metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and metastatic or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (nsNSCLC). According to industry estimates, bevacizumab injection achieved global sales of USD 8.5 billion in 2023[2].

In July 2025, the company announced that its bevacizumab injection has received marketing approval from Colombia’s National Institute for Surveillance of Medicines and Foods (INVIMA). This inaugural shipment—dispatched around two months after marketing approval—demonstrates BioDlink’s efficiency, while validating its antibody commercialization platform, as well as robust production quality and supply chain management systems. BioDlink’s 50,000-square-meter manufacturing facilities have successfully undergone EU Qualified Person (QP) audits for antibody drugs and ADCs five times in the past four years, with zero critical defects noted. BioDlink’s global-quality system is robust, delivering over 100 clinical projects with development, clinical filings, and manufacturing services worldwide, including Europe and the U.S.

Following GMP certification in China, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan and Thailand, Kexing BioPharm, the global licensee for bevacizumab injection in emerging markets, has initiated regulatory filings in 35 countries in close collaboration with BioDlink. GMP certification in Brazil, Colombia and Argentina covers the top three most populous countries in South America, representing 71.4 % of the continent’s population[3].

Colombia’s ongoing cancer burden patterns (117,620 new cases in 2022, with 11,163 colorectal and 7,196 lung cases[1]) aligns closely with bevacizumab’s treatment areas of metastatic colorectal and non-squamous non-small cell NSCLC among others, making this initial international shipment both strategically important and timely.

Since BioDlink signed an international commercialization agreement with Kexing BioPharm in early 2022, both two companies have achieved a complementary and efficient closed-loop “R&D-manufacturing-access” model, laying the foundation for the future international launch of additional products. BioDlink focuses on ensuring international manufacturing and supply chain robustness, while Kexing BioPharm leverages its global channels to drive localized market access.

BioDlink and Kexing BioPharm are committed to deepening their global collaboration to fulfill a shared mission of advancing global healthcare. BioDlink remains aligned with its “Quality First, Innovation Driven, Success Together” service philosophy to focus on emerging markets such as South America, South Asia, Southeast Asia and Africa, benefiting an even broader global patient population in the future.

State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Company: Upgrading the Intelligent Screening Function for Transmission Inspection Images

By
Advertorial Desk
-

XUZHOU, China, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, on the 8th tower of the 500kV Baoren 523 Line in Xuzhou, a camera accurately captured a potential safety hazard and completed identification, upload, and alarm notification within 15 minutes. This efficient closed-loop process is supported by the newly upgraded intelligent preliminary screening function for image materials developed by State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Company.

In recent years, cameras installed on transmission towers have been able to capture clear images, facilitating back-end staff in identifying safety hazards and significantly improving the efficiency of transmission line operation and maintenance. However, these cameras need to regularly transmit massive amounts of raw images to the cloud for analysis, which not only consumes a large amount of network bandwidth but also imposes a heavy load on cloud computing power. To address this issue, Xuzhou Power Supply Company independently explored a technical upgrade path: by adding an intelligent preliminary screening step before cameras upload images to the cloud, it performs real-time preprocessing and feature extraction on captured images. Additionally, a comparison mechanism for feature values of common foreign objects and external damages has been introduced to filter out images with repetitive frames and other redundant features. This has significantly reduced the bandwidth pressure of image uploads and improved the efficiency of image processing for operation and maintenance personnel.

“It’s equivalent to conducting a secondary review of the images. Taking the Xuzhou 500kV Baoren Line as an example, before the function upgrade, an average edge device uploaded about 3,300 images per month. After the pilot upgrade, a single edge device only uploaded approximately 1,100 images in September, reducing the total number of uploaded images by more than 65%,” said Yang Tengteng, a specialist in the transmission business of the Equipment Department at State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Company. Up to now, this function has been pilot-deployed on 5 key transmission lines in Xuzhou, covering nearly 30 visualized towers, shortening the transmission alarm delay by about 70%. It is planned to be promoted across the entire Xuzhou area by the end of this year.

Bitcoin Capital Summit highlights growing institutional demand for BTC-collateralized finance

Banks, fintechs, and investment funds convene at the Bitcoin Capital Summit in Lugano to explore Bitcoin’s role as sound collateral in modern credit markets

LUGANO, Switzerland, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bitcoin is no longer just a store of value or speculative asset. Around the world, a growing number of lenders, banks, and fintech platforms are experimenting with a new idea: using Bitcoin as the foundation for a safer, more transparent credit system. What was once a niche use case is becoming a real financial trend, one that could soon challenge traditional models of secured lending. In this emerging landscape, an overcollateralized Bitcoin loan may soon be considered less risky than a mortgage backed by real estate.

This shift was the focus of the Bitcoin Capital Summit, held in Lugano on October 23. The invite-only event – hosted by Fulgur Ventures, Blockstream, STOKR, Debifi and H100 – brought together institutional lenders, banking executives, investment funds, and Bitcoin builders to discuss how sound money can anchor sound finance. Speakers from PwC Italy, Sygnum Bank, Luzerner Kantonalbank, and other well known financial institutions examined how the transparency and global liquidity of Bitcoin are reshaping lending, custody, and compliance frameworks.

Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, highlighted how the principles underpinning Bitcoin are beginning to influence institutional finance: “Bitcoin is becoming the foundation for a more transparent and secure credit system. By building institutional-grade infrastructure on Bitcoin, we’re aligning modern finance with the principles of sound money.“

The event highlighted the growing collaboration between traditional finance and companies building Bitcoin-based infrastructure, such as Blockstream, Ark Labs, and Debifi, all supported by Fulgur Ventures.

Preston Pysh, General Partner at Ego Death Capital, described Bitcoin’s intrinsic advantages as collateral: “Bitcoin represents the purest form of collateral ever created: verifiable, transparent, deep liquidity, 24/7/365 global settlement, and immune to the distortions of rehypothecation. Building lending systems on overcollateralized, trust-minimized principles isn’t just safer for lenders and borrowers, it’s the foundation for a sounder financial future.”

That bridge between Bitcoin’s transparency and the rigor of regulated finance is already taking shape. Benedikt Koedel, Head of Credit & Lending at Sygnum Bank, explained how his institution integrates Bitcoin into its credit operations: “We treat Bitcoin not just as collateral, but as a pristine credit anchor inside a fully regulated banking framework, combining institutional risk controls with the flexibility of digital finance.“

The Bitcoin Capital Summit confirmed Lugano’s position as a hub for Bitcoin-based financial innovation. What began as an experiment in overcollateralized crypto loans is quickly evolving into a broader transformation of credit itself.

The Bitcoin Capital Summit is a private event series dedicated to exploring Bitcoin’s expanding role in capital markets, credit, and institutional finance. The Summit gathers thought leaders, founders, and financial professionals to shape the future of sound, Bitcoin-backed finance.

ORDOS, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 October 2025 – On September 27, a batch of spirulina products from Otog Banner in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, set sail from Tianjin Port to Los Angeles, USA. According to Qiao Yue, deputy general manager of Ordos Jiali Spirulina Co., Ltd., this shipment included 20 tons of organic spirulina powder and 10 tons of spirulina tablets. “Overseas orders are currently scheduled until after the National Day holiday, and our production lines are operating at full capacity to ensure timely delivery,” Qiao said.

Spirulina Industrial Park.

This order is another example of Otog Spirulina’s expansion into the global market. The Spirulina Industrial Park in Otog Banner, located on the Inner Mongolia Plateau, has now become the world’s largest spirulina production base. With 4,993 standardized cultivation greenhouses, the park produces 5,200 tons of spirulina powder, 900 tons of spirulina tablets, and 100 tons of phycocyanin powder annually, achieving an annual output value of over 500 million yuan. Its products are exported to more than 40 countries and regions, including Germany, France, and the United States, marking the widespread international recognition of this homegrown Chinese biotech industry.

The international competitiveness of Otog Spirulina stems from its unique resource advantages. In 1995, a team led by Professor Qiao Chen from Inner Mongolia Agricultural University discovered a native Chinese algae species—Ordos Spirulina platensis—in the alkaline lakes of Otog Banner. This discovery laid a solid foundation for the localized development of China’s spirulina industry. In 2021, Otog Spirulina was included in the China-EU Geographical Indications Agreement, further enhancing its visibility and competitiveness in the global market.

Technological innovation is injecting new vitality into this traditional industry. The Joint Biomedical Research Center, established by Otog Banner and Zhejiang University, has applied for or obtained 11 national invention patents and one Japanese patent, and has published over 20 papers in top-tier international academic journals. More notably, collaborative research with Chinese medical institutions has shown that spirulina has significant effects in the clinical intervention of fatty liver disease and constipation, opening new avenues for its expansion into the international health product market.

In the Spirulina strain bank, staff are observing the growth of the strains.

“The global microalgae industry is flourishing, with Otog Banner accounting for 40% of the world’s spirulina production, making it internationally recognized as the ‘World Algae Capital,'” remarked Professor Alexander Matthys from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich at the Second International Spirulina Industry Development Conference in Otog Banner in 2025.

From the alkaline lakes of Inner Mongolia to the global market, the international journey of Otog Spirulina showcases the innovative strength of China’s biotech industry. With the deepening of the Belt and Road Initiative, this green industry from northern China is injecting new vitality into the global health food market, becoming a new calling card for Chinese biotech as it goes global.

World Record Crypto Trader CryptoFace Joins SilentSwap Advisory Board to Highlight the Need for On-Chain Trader Privacy

NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SilentSwap, the leading non-custodial privacy platform for cross-chain digital asset swaps, today announced that CryptoFace, world record holding cryptocurrency trader and founder of MarketCipher, has joined the company’s Advisory Board. CryptoFace’s appointment shines a spotlight on the critical need for enhanced on-chain trader privacy to protect institutional and high-value traders from the exposure risks inherent in blockchain’s transparent design. SilentSwap’s V2 infrastructure is purpose-built to address these challenges and safeguard trader strategies in a public trading environment.

CryptoFace holds the world record for both the most profitable and largest loss ever captured in live-streamed cryptocurrency trading. Known primarily as a trader with authentic market presence, he understands the vulnerabilities posed by public blockchain transparency to high-volume and institutional traders alike.

“Over the years I have passed up countless opportunities because bridging between chains was a nightmare,” says CryptoFace. “Most platforms just aren’t built for anyone who isn’t living in altcoin trenches full time. The idea that one wrong signature could drain my MetaMask wallet kept me from taking risks I wanted to take.

SilentSwap changes that completely. The fees are the lowest in the space, swaps and bridges happen in one click, and it’s truly non-custodial. Honestly, I didn’t believe it until I tried it myself. It’s faster, safer, and built for traders who actually value their privacy.

Every trader knows the risk of having positions watched, wallets analyzed, and strategies copied or countered. SilentSwap V2 changes that dynamic. This isn’t just another privacy tool; it’s infrastructure that finally lets serious traders operate without exposing their every move. The speed and privacy protections deliver exactly what traders need.”

“CryptoFace knows firsthand the risks traders face where large positions are exposed,” said Shibtoshi, Founder and CEO of SilentSwap. “His experience navigating volatile markets with millions on the line reinforces why privacy isn’t optional but essential. With CryptoFace on our advisory board, we’re advancing the privacy infrastructure needed to enable meaningful institutional adoption.”

Known for his multi-hour live trading sessions where he moves millions of dollars in real-time while engaging audiences of hundreds of thousands, CryptoFace brings a trader’s perspective on the privacy necessities in digital asset markets.

“When you’re trading with serious money, privacy isn’t optional, it’s survival,” CryptoFace added. “SilentSwap V2 empowers traders to move large positions across chains without painting a target on their backs. Its non-custodial design means assets remain under trader control while benefiting from robust privacy protections. This is what true institutional grade protections look like.”

SilentSwap V2’s features include:

  • Complete Transaction Privacy: Up to 16 privacy outputs block on-chain links between origin and destination, preventing position tracking and competitive analysis.
  • High Performance: Supports millions of dollars per minute in swaps with speeds of 30 seconds to 2 minutes, meeting the needs of active traders.
  • Multi-Chain Support: Native compatibility with major blockchains and multiple destination wallets enable complex strategies.
  • Simple Integration: Privacy functionality via straightforward API integration with no custody or backend complexity.

SilentSwap V2 marks a critical advancement in blockchain infrastructure, addressing privacy shortcomings that have hindered wider institutional participation. Fully compliant with OFAC and AML regulations, the platform delivers privacy without sacrificing regulatory adherence.

About SilentSwap
SilentSwap is a non-custodial, privacy-first platform for cross-chain digital asset swaps, purpose-built for institutional use and full asset control. SilentSwap meets rising demands for secure, private blockchain infrastructure designed for the most sophisticated traders.
