SINGAPORE, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At the CoinFerenceX Summit during Token2049 week in Singapore, KuCoin Managing Director Alicia Kao joined the panel “Exchanges Beyond Trading: Gatekeepers or Gate-Openers of the Digital Asset Economy.” Speaking alongside executives from leading exchanges, Alicia  emphasized that exchanges today must serve a dual role: as trusted gatekeepers safeguarding users and as open gateways enabling broader participation in the digital asset economy.

Alicia reiterated KuCoin’s longstanding commitment to building with trust and compliance at the core and shared investment strategy and local market commitment.

KuCoin is reinforcing its commitment to trust and innovation by applying AI to strengthen compliance and anti–money laundering monitoring while offering users intelligent trading tools. At the same time, the exchange is returning to blockchain fundamentals with the relaunch of its KuMining product, where a recent 1,500,000TH/s BTC Hashrate sold out quickly, reflecting strong market demand. Looking ahead, KuCoin is also driving real-world utility through payment solutions across multiple countries, bringing digital assets into everyday life as global regulatory clarity continues to improve.

Alicia also shared KuCoin’s approach to investment and local market development, emphasizing that the company is committed to unlocking industry-wide value through KuCoin Ventures by investing, like the recent investment in Stable, the world’s first high-throughput Layer1 blockchain powered by USDT. Beyond trading, KuCoin supports startups addressing fundamental challenges in finance, payments, and local adoption, rather than short-term token launches. At the same time, the exchange is actively investing in local markets by pursuing licenses and working closely with regulators, with Kao noting that “getting a license is just the first step—the real challenge is protecting users, just like the regulators do.” While KuCoin does not operate a massive fund, it remains open to supporting responsible teams and entrepreneurs who bring blockchain into real life with long-term vision.

By speaking at CoinFerenceX, Alicia Kao reaffirmed KuCoin’s mission as “the exchange of trust for global users.” She highlighted innovation, compliance, and responsible investment as the key drivers that will shape the next phase of the digital asset economy.

Clodura.AI consolidates data, AI outreach, and calling into a single platform—cutting costs and accelerating real buyer conversations worldwide.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Across North America, Europe, and Asia, revenue leaders face the same frustration: Why does booking one meeting require stitching together half a dozen tools?

Clodura AI | One GenAI Go to Market Platform – From Database to Deal Closure

Stacks built around single-database vendors like ZoomInfo or Apollo.io, then padded with Outreach for sequencing, Gong for call analysis, and Clay for enrichment, leave GTM teams juggling contracts, inflating budgets, and chasing unverified leads. The result is wasted time, lower connect rates, and rising costs.

Clodura.AI, the world’s first GenAI-powered Go-to-Market platform, answers the call.

Built to unify the entire GTM workflow, Clodura.AI integrates every phase—from database enrichment and real-time verification through buyer intelligence, intent signals, AI-driven outreach, and integrated calling—into one AI-first system. By replacing fragmented stacks with a unified platform, Clodura.AI eliminates complexity and accelerates pipeline velocity.

Unlike legacy providers, Clodura.AI connects 50+ data and 20+ phone providers in real-time, dynamically verifying contacts for unmatched accuracy. AI agents automate repetitive tasks—drafting emails, sequencing campaigns, logging call dispositions—so reps focus on meaningful buyer conversations.

Adopted by Enterprises, Embraced by Growth Teams
Global enterprises like Hexaware, Quess, Bosch, and Avalara—alongside fast-scaling SaaS firms—have consolidated their GTM stacks with Clodura.AI, reporting stronger contact accuracy, higher call connect rates, faster campaign execution, and significant cost reductions.

Leadership Perspectives
“Fragmented GTM stacks slow growth, inflate costs, and burn out teams,” said Kapil Khangaonkar, Founder & CEO of Clodura.AI. “We solve this by uniting data, verification, intelligence, engagement, and closure in one GenAI platform built for global scale.”

Abhay Nawathey, CTO of Clodura.AI, added: “Data decays fast, verification can’t be static, and humans shouldn’t waste hours on robotic busywork. Our AI platform integrates multiple providers and automates follow-up, creating reliable, conversation-ready data inside one system.”

Somshubhro Pal Choudhury, Co-Founder & Partner, Bharat Innovation Fund, said: “Consolidation isn’t just about cost. It’s about focus. With automation and unification, revenue teams reclaim time for buyer conversations—the only thing that truly moves pipeline.”

Why It Matters

In a climate of tighter budgets and rapid AI adoption, unified GTM platforms like Clodura.AI are reshaping revenue execution. By solving the universal challenge of fragmented stacks, Clodura.AI drives efficiency, reduces cost per seat, and sets a new benchmark for scalable revenue growth.

About Clodura.AI

Clodura.AI is the first Made-in-India GenAI Go-to-Market platform enabling seamless, end-to-end revenue workflows—from data enrichment and verification to buyer intelligence, intent signals, AI-powered outreach, calling, and analytics—in one unified system. With over 600 million verified contacts, 125 million phone numbers, and 50 million company profiles, Clodura.AI supports more than 20,000 GTM teams worldwide through a scalable credit-based model.

KUNSHAN, China, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 2025 Cross-Strait (Kunshan) Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival officially began with a lighting ceremony attended by local officials and community representatives on September 29 in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province. A series of public programs and cultural activities will continue through the end of October.

Centered on the theme “Twin Blossoms, Shared Lights,” this year’s festival features advanced light and visual technologies to showcase the outcomes of industrial collaboration and financial innovation between Kunshan and Taiwan. The event also aims to strengthen cultural, tourism, and economic exchanges across the Strait. 

The festival takes place across two main locations: Huiju Square and Zhouzhuang Ancient Town. At Huiju Square, the “Deer” and “Flowers” theme is brought to life through drone shows and interactive robot performances inspired by Kunqu Opera featuring floral hairpins and water sleeves, blending traditional artistry with modern innovation. In Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, themed lantern installations throughout the park offer a scenic setting where visitors can experience the town’s historical charm and cultural heritage. 

Kunshan Huiju Square serves as a central gathering place for public interactions between communities across the Strait, jointly developed by the CPC Kunshan Municipal Committee and Municipal Government in partnership with like-minded Taiwanese firms. On September 29, city leaders announced an improvement plan for the area, outlining continued enhancements to its environmental amenities, entertainment spaces, and facilities supporting cultural and industrial innovation.

Recent cultural exchange initiatives in Kunshan have included the “Cross-Strait Pastel Artists Invitational Exhibition – 10th Anniversary Special Exhibition” and “A Unique Art, Shared Roots Across the Strait – Kunqu Opera Art Collection Exhibition.” During the festival, award-winning entries from the 6th Lantern Design Competition will be on view. The program also includes the 2025 Kunshan Taiwanese Business Community Mid-Autumn Fellowship, Cross-Strait Cultural and Arts Performances, and Cross-Strait Folk Culture Day, all designed to celebrate shared traditions and deepen connections among people on both sides of the Strait. 

Kunshan remains one of the mainland’s leading centers for Taiwanese investment, hosting the largest concentration of Taiwanese companies and a robust network for economic, trade, and cultural exchange. Approximately 100,000 Taiwanese residents and businesspeople live and work in the city. The Kunshan Pilot Zone for Deepening Cross-Strait Industrial Cooperation has achieved steady progress in recent years. As of August 2025, Kunshan had approved 6,188 Taiwanese-funded projects with total investment exceeding US$70.8 billion.
