SINGAPORE, Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, hosted an engaging fireside chat at TOKEN2049 in Singapore, featuring CEO BC Wong and newly appointed Global Brand Ambassador Adam Scott. Moderated by Alicia Kao, the discussion explored the unexpected synergies between professional golf and the crypto industry, emphasizing the core values of trust, precision, and resilience that drive success in both fields. The event highlighted its new brand slogan: “Trust First. Trade Next. Trust Is the Currency We Trade In.”

Trust, precision, and resilience have been key attributes Scott has emphasized throughout his career at the highest level of the sport.

“Golf is both a physical and a mental challenge, especially in high-pressure moments. Trusting in your preparation allows a golfer to execute with complete confidence.”

He also highlighted the importance of resilience.

“Setbacks are part of the game, especially with so many variables outside of your control. The ability to adapt to every challenge is essential, both on and off the course.”

Scott further explained the importance of trust: “When we first started talking about the partnership, trust was a big factor for both of us. It was really about finding those common values and common ground that we could both build on.”

BC Wong went on to stress the benefits that mastering these skills yields when it comes to cryptocurrency, concluding that “Trust draws users in, precision keeps operations smooth, and resilience ensures longevity, all of which help to build a loyal community in the competitive crypto space.” From there, the KuCoin CEO segued into a summary of the exchange’s $2 Billion Trust Project that launched at TOKEN2049 in Dubai five months earlier, which includes attaining new global licences and compliant entities to fuel global expansion.

In addition to outlining the reasons that drew him to KuCoin and accepting the role as its first global brand ambassador, Adam Scott spoke warmly about Singapore and his fond experiences of playing its leading courses. The Australian pro golfer, who is a former world number one, is a regular fixture on the PGA Tour and famously won the 2013 Masters Tournament.

KuCoin’s decision to appoint Scott as ambassador aligns with its goal of reshaping perceptions of the crypto industry and the exchange itself, with an emphasis on long-term growth and sustainability. Upon being confirmed in the role in September 2025, Scott stated: “I firmly believe that cryptocurrency will play an important role in the future of finance, and I am personally interested in how it empowers people worldwide.”

At TOKEN2049, he doubled down on that message, claiming to have “always been fascinated by technology and the way it shapes our future,” venturing that “Crypto gives people more freedom and empowerment than traditional finance ever could. That’s why I feel connected with KuCoin.”

KuCoin CEO BC Wong outlined the company’s near-term roadmap, including the expansion of KuMining, a next-generation cloud mining platform, which recently completed its first sale. He also introduced Kia, a new AI product expected to launch in the coming days. In addition, KuCoin is pursuing regulatory licenses in further jurisdictions.

The fireside chat concluded with BC Wong unveiling KuCoin’s new slogan, inspired by the qualities that he had earlier been discussing with Adam Scott: “Trust First. Trade Next.”

• Vice Chairman Sang-Hyun Yoon emphasizes the evolution toward blockbuster products as the key driver of K-Beauty’s global success

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Kolmar Korea, a leading global ODM(Original Development Manufacturing) company, joined forces with Amazon to present a strategic roadmap for the worldwide expansion of K-Beauty. The company underscored that differentiated competitiveness built on technological expertise is the central element of K-Beauty’s global success, capturing the attention of the industry.

Kolmar Korea announced its participation as the exclusive manufacturing sponsor of Amazon Beauty in Seoul 2025, held on September 19 at the Grand Ballroom of COEX in Seoul. The event brought together more than 3,000 attendees from across the beauty industry, including brand representatives, distributors, influencers, investors, and other stakeholders, both onsite and online. Distinguished speakers included Sang-Hyun Yoon, Vice Chairman of Kolmar Group, and Hwa-Sook Shin, Country Manager of Amazon Global Selling Korea.

During the “Global Vision” session, Vice Chairman Yoon delivered a keynote address titled “K-Beauty Success from a Manufacturer’s Perspective.” He stated, “Without evolution, companies cannot avoid being left behind. Relentless effort and constant innovation are essential to building a successful brand.” Yoon went on to explain, “Korean consumers are among the most demanding in the world, and it is this intensely competitive domestic market experience that has become the foundation of K-Beauty’s global competitiveness. By securing blockbuster products based on a deep understanding of consumers and expanding product lineups, brands can achieve true global success.”

Kolmar Korea also operated a large-scale exhibition booth at the event, showcasing solutions in skincare, makeup, personal care, sun care, and cosmetic packaging. The company provided tailored consultations for both new and global business partners, exploring detailed collaboration opportunities that could lead to sustainable business growth rather than one-off transactions. Many prospective entrepreneurs engaged in in-depth discussions about how to turn ideas into actionable business ventures.

A Kolmar Korea spokesperson commented, “This event reaffirmed the vital role and importance of ODM companies in driving the sustainable growth of K-Beauty. Moving forward, we will continue to actively support our clients’ global market expansion through our strategic partnership with Amazon, while contributing to strengthening the overall competitiveness of the K-Beauty industry.”

Adoption of ServiceNow-centric CCaaS provider highlights growing demand for voice-first AI engagement platform.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 3CLogic, the leading AI-powered contact center platform purpose-built for ServiceNow®, today announced its selection by Astreya Partners, a global IT managed services provider (MSP), to implement its Voice AI and contact center solution integrated with ServiceNow. The strategic partnership aims to enhance Astreya’s service delivery, ensuring efficient and effective communication for their diverse clientele, including six of the Magnificent Seven.

Meeting the Challenges of Modern IT Services
Dedicated to enhancing user experiences and driving digital transformation, Astreya, the company with over 2,400 IT professionals across more than 40 countries, identified key opportunities to optimize its service delivery. Priority among them was to provide a modern, conversational alternative to email, which, while preferred by many customers, was often inefficient for handling complex or time-sensitive requests. In addition, the organization sought to enable a unified customer experience (CX) for agents and administrators while enhancing operational efficiency and improving resolution times.

“Astreya is focused on staying ahead of the curve. With 3CLogic’s Voice AI and contact center solutions integrated into ServiceNow, we are strengthening our ability to deliver digital workplace services that scale, adapt, and continually raise the bar for service excellence.” – Romil Bahl, CEO, Astreya

Merging Contact Center and ITSM into one
Following a thorough evaluation process, 3CLogic was selected for its ability to complement Astreya’s existing investment in ServiceNow’s IT Service Management (ITSM) product. The integration will empower the organization to maximize its existing investment in the Now® platform while providing a seamless and consolidated workspace for each of its highly specialized service desk teams. The partnership is set to transform Astreya’s Digital Workplace Services and high-value customer interactions with the addition of several capabilities, including:

• Omnichannel Platform: By unifying 3CLogic Voice with ServiceNow ITSM’s existing digital channels, Astreya will eliminate the inefficiencies of agent swivel-chairing between systems and channels, streamlining daily operations and speed of resolution.
• Voice AI & Automation: The integration of Voice AI to deliver conversational and personalized voicebots integrated with ServiceNow data and agentic AI, will allow for the automation of responses to common inquiries, while intelligently escalating more complex requests to live agents.
• Real-time Transcription and Agent Optimization: Integrated directly into the ServiceNow agent workspace, real-time call transcripts will assist agents with next-best actions while accelerating post-call tasks with generative AI call summaries and resolution notes together with ServiceNow’s Now Assist®.
• AI Insights and Quality Assurance: Leveraging Speech Analytics and AI-powered Agent Performance and Coaching features, the organization will be able to analyze and train its service desk team at scale without having to sample and review calls.

“IT departments and services are the backbone to any modern organization,” explains Bob Doherty, VP of Sales at 3CLogic. “With IT overseeing the success of the enterprise, weaving this level of functionality into existing ServiceNow workflows to drive exponential ROI is a no-brainer.”

Future Expansion Plans
Together with the addition of 3CLogic, Astreya anticipates the ServiceNow-centric contact center enhancements will not only improve points of deflection but also empower their highly specialized live agents, maximizing their effectiveness in addressing customer needs, while reducing operating costs. 

Following the initial deployment of 3CLogic’s solutions, Astreya plans to extend its capabilities across additional divisions and managed service offerings. The partnership signifies a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in service delivery, positioning Astreya as a leader in the IT managed services space.

“We are teaming up with 3CLogic to revolutionize our ServiceDesk offerings with cutting-edge AI technology. This strategic partnership enables Astreya to deliver exceptional customer and employee experiences through intelligent self-service, conversational AI, and AI-powered sentiment analytics. By integrating 3CLogic’s innovative solutions, Astreya will drive operational efficiency, reduce costs, and provide personalized support to our clients. This collaboration marks a significant step in Astreya’s mission to harness AI-driven innovation and empower businesses to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.” – Jothiganesh Nagarajan, COO, Astreya.

3CLogic is a ServiceNow certified Technology and Advanced Platform Build partner with offerings available for ServiceNow’s IT Service Management, CRM and Industry Workflows, and HR Service Delivery products. The organization will be unveiling its latest set of Voice AI and contact center capabilities at a number of upcoming global events in Dallas, London, Chicago, New York, Munich, and Amsterdam.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — YY Group Holding Limited (Nasdaq: YYGH) (“YY Group” or the “Company”), a global workforce solutions and integrated facility management (IFM) platform provider, today announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Obita, a Singapore-based, enterprise-level cross-border payment and digital financial network. Under the MOU, YY Group will integrate Obita’s enterprise-grade, stablecoin payment infrastructure into its global gig workforce platforms and corporate operations, equipping YY Group with scalable, compliant rails for receivables, payables and treasury management.

Obita shared that its infrastructure is designed to simplify cross-border settlements for enterprises while maintaining high compliance and security standards. Businesses require payment rails that are intuitive and regulatory-ready, alongside enterprise-grade controls such as role-based approvals and real-time monitoring. These capabilities, Obita emphasized, are what make stablecoin-powered infrastructure a credible foundation for serving both gig workers and enterprises at scale. Both Obita and YY Group are committed to leveraging this model to expand financial inclusion for gig workers worldwide, particularly in emerging markets

On the enterprise level, the integration will streamline YY Group’s cross-border capital flows, including intra-group financing and loan repayment, supporting efficiency and margin improvement as YY Group scales. For platform users, particularly international students and gig workers, Obita’s technology will offer faster, lower-cost payouts and the option to hold savings in fiat-backed stablecoins to mitigate local currency volatility, strengthening worker engagement and retention within YY’s ecosystem. Simplified cross-border settlement also underpins the Company’s international expansion strategy across Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other growth markets, where the Company plans to launch regional pilots.

Mike Fu, Group Chief Executive Officer of YY Group, said, “Cross-border payments are a key operational lever for scaling our global platform. Partnering with Obita enables us to optimize enterprise costs while delivering faster, more transparent, lower-cost settlement options to the hundreds of thousands of workers and clients we support worldwide. This positions YY Group to scale more efficiently, strengthen our margins and accelerate our global expansion initiatives.”

Zhang Dayong, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Obita, commented, “YY Group represents exactly the type of large-scale, real-world ecosystem where compliant stablecoin infrastructure can deliver immediate impact. Our collaboration shows how technology and regulation can work hand in hand to make cross-border payouts efficient, secure and inclusive.”

Senior leaders from both companies recently participated in the PayFi Summit, TOKEN2049 Singapore’s most influential payment conference, to announce their collaboration and discuss how compliant stablecoin infrastructure can transform cross-border worker payments and accelerate the digitalization of the gig economy. Both companies emphasized this model’s potential to enhance financial inclusion for gig workers globally, particularly in underserved regions.
