SF Intra-city (9699.HK) Delivery Orders of Comprehensive Delivery Increased 87% during May Day Holiday

Orders from Supermarkets and Department Stores Increased More Than 1.7 Times

HONG KONG, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The May Day holiday has just concluded, marked by a surge in  domestic travel and consumer spending. In response to strong consumer demand, instant delivery service platforms played a crucial supporting role. Hangzhou SF Intra-city Industrial Co., Ltd. (“SF Intra-city” or the “Group“, Stock Code: 9699.HK), China’s largest third-party on-demand delivery service provider, is pleased to announce that the orders for comprehensive delivery surged by 87% year-on-year (“YoY”) during May Day holiday, delivery orders from supermarkets and department stores grew by 177%  YoY. Additionally, SF Intra-city launched dedicated solutions for cultural tourism instant delivery scenarios, with consumer services performing exceptionally well in third and fourth-tier cities such as Chaozhou and Dali, where C-end (consumer) order volume grew severalfold to dozens of times year-on-year.

During the holiday, consumer sentiment was strong, with robust demand in the new-style tea beverage market. SF Intra-city’s beverage delivery orders surged by 106% YoY during the May Day holiday period. As the preferred instant delivery service provider for new-style tea and coffee brands such as CHAGEE, Mixue Ice Cream & Tea, GuMing, and Luckin Coffee, the Group leveraged its flexible delivery capacity model of “in-store + commercial district + citywide” to ensure efficient fulfillment of online orders and smooth handling of peak periods.

Beyond tea beverage stores, the Group closely collaborated with merchants across all scenarios in commercial districts, with supermarket and department store orders growing rapidly by 177% YoY. Other product categories, including pharmaceuticals, digital products, beauty products, and  mother-and-baby products also recorded high double-digit year-on-year growth. This reflects that a growing consumer preference for instant delivery services for urgent and essential items, and a shift toward a new consumption pattern of “traveling light and purchasing on demand.”

During the May Day holiday period, major food delivery and local lifestyle platforms seized the holiday business opportunities by offering promotional subsidies. As a third-party instant delivery platform without being tied to any specific commerce flow, SF Intra-city deeply collaborated with platforms such as Douyin, WeChat, and Alibaba, allowing merchants to access delivery services across various food delivery and new retail platforms with one-click integration. This not only helped merchants grow their business efficiently but also provided consumers with a better instant delivery experience.

“Cultural tourism + instant delivery” has become a new highlight in local tourism development. SF Intra-city launched a “pickup, delivery, and concierge” solution for cultural tourism, offering services such as luggage handling, hanfu costume returns, shopping assistance, and queue-waiting. These services meet tourists’ personalized needs while helping upgrade the cultural tourism industry. As “county tourism fever” sweeps across the country, instant delivery platforms are becoming increasingly crucial in providing infrastructure services for in-depth county-level tourism. During this year’s May Day holiday period, SF Intra-city’s consumer services saw particularly significant growth in third and fourth-tier cities and counties. C-end order volume in cities such as Chaozhou, Dali, Enshi, Ganzi, Jinzhong, Shigatse, and Tieling grew severalfold to dozens of times, highlighting the enormous potential of instant delivery services in county-level tourism markets.

Additionally, SF Intra-city’s last-mile delivery provides diverse transfer and door-to-door collection and delivery services for express companies and logistics service providers, helping accelerate various aspects of traditional express delivery. During the May Day holiday period, its last-mile delivery order volume grew by 102% YoY, enabling home-based users to receive their purchased products faster and ensuring goods arrived home before traveling users returned.

The May Day ‘Golden Week’, being a significant milestone in travel and consumption, has garnered attention from both consumers and businesses alike. The continued boom in holiday economics has stimulated rising demand for instant delivery, highlighting the increasingly critical role of the instant delivery industry as consumption infrastructure. As local lifestyle consumption scenarios and consumption patterns continue to evolve, SF Intra-city will  strive to broaden the boundaries of on-demand fulfillment services, enhance our technological capabilities, and forge deeper collaborations amid the ongoing innovation in consumer behavior. Together, the Group will champion the sustained growth of new consumption trends, and collaborate with more business partners, adhering to our operational goal of achieving ‘high-quality, efficient and comprehensive third-party on-demand delivery services’ and better fulfilling our mission of ‘bringing enjoyable lifestyle to your fingertips’, firmly rooting ourselves in third-party on-demand delivery service.

HTX DeepThink: Fed Sits Tight Amid Bind; Trump’s New Token on Horizon?

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HTX DeepThink is a flagship market insights column created by HTX, dedicated to exploring global macro trends, key economic indicators, and major developments across the crypto industry. In a world where volatility is the norm, HTX DeepThink aims to help readers “Find Order in Chaos.”

This week, what does Trump’s emerging token plan mean for crypto markets? Why is the Fed holding rates steady? Behind Bitcoin’s rebound, are hidden risks lurking? In this edition of HTX DeepThink, Chloe (@ChloeTalk1) from HTX Research breaks it all down.

Trump Media Group’s Utility Token: A Potential Shift in U.S. Equity Tokenization

On April 30, Trump Media & Technology Group announced it would collaborate with the Truth digital wallet to launch a new utility token called DJT. Initially, DJT will facilitate payments for the Truth+ subscription service, with plans to expand its utility across the Truth ecosystem.

It’s the first time a publicly listed U.S. media company is launching a utility token tied to a real-world product ecosystem, signifying a historic convergence between traditional equities and on-chain asset formats. Although the team has yet to announce a release date, blockchain platform, or tokenomics, the rollout appears to follow Trump’s classic strategy: hype first, details later.

DJT is hitting the market at just the right moment as memecoin mania is cooling and narratives are shifting toward utility and payment integration. Similar to HTX’s recent listing of WLFI’s USD1, demand for “practical crypto assets” is surging. DJT combines powerful political branding with real ecosystem support, offering long-term value potential far beyond that of short-lived meme-driven tokens.

U.S.-China Trade Talks: A Temporary Easing Amidst Persistent Tensions

This weekend, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and Trade Representative Jamison Greer will meet with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in Geneva. This meeting, the first high-level U.S.-China trade talks since heightened tensions in spring 2025, signals a potential diplomatic thaw.

Although both sides still dispute who initiated the talks, the meeting alone sends a strong signal of reengagement and diplomatic thawing. With tariffs at historic highs, markets are interpreting the summit as a short-term de-escalation of geopolitical risks—sparking a relief rally in risk assets.

Following the news, Bitcoin rose by approximately 3.6%, briefly surpassing $97,000. This reflects how sensitive capital flows remain to macro-level easing signals. While structural differences between the two nations are far from resolved, the current window of policy détente may offer a short-term liquidity boost for digital assets, gold, and tech stocks.

Powell Throws : “Now Is Not the Time to Cut Rates”

On May 8, the Fed held interest rates steady at 4.25%–4.50% for the third consecutive meeting. While it was widely expected, Fed Chair Jerome Powell struck a noticeably more cautious tone during the press conference:

  • “Now is not the time for us to lead with a rate cut.”
  • “The cost of waiting is relatively low.”
  • “Whether we cut this year depends on how things develop.”

The Fed is currently caught in a “dual bind”: on one hand, disinflation has stalled, with PCE and CPI both above the 2% target. On the other, the central bank’s fiscal position is deteriorating. A 25–30 bps rate cut could shave $20 billion off annual income, further reducing remittances to the Treasury and raising concerns over the Fed’s policy independence.

As a result, despite markets currently pricing in three rate cuts in 2025, the Fed is more likely to take a “data-driven, delayed transition” approach.

Bitcoin’s Market Dynamics: Macroeconomic Data to Dictate Direction

Despite BTC rebounding to around $99,000 on geopolitical and monetary optimism, the options market is not confirming a strong directional bias. Deribit data shows implied volatility on June and July calls rising only modestly, while 25d risk reversals remain neutral to slightly bearish, and skew curves are relatively flat. Notably, large Gamma exposures are clustered around the $95,000–$100,000 range, indicating that BTC is currently trapped in a “high-volatility, low-conviction” zone awaiting macro catalysts.

If CPI and jobs data for May–June remain hot, the Fed may push back on rate cut expectations—risking a BTC pullback. Conversely, if inflation cools and unemployment ticks up, Powell may pivot dovishly, providing a green light for BTC to break out of its volatility compression range and resume its bullish trend.
