TRAIL Series features three ultra-compact DC-only portable power stations, including the 200, 300 and Plus 300

SEATTLE, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — EcoFlow, a leading provider of eco-friendly power solutions, today introduced a new chapter in outdoor power with TRAIL Series, a lines of ultra-compact, lightweight DC-only power stations built for outdoor enthusiasts. It sets a new standard for portable power in the wild by focusing on efficiency, durability and ease of use.

As a grab-and-go energy solution, TRAIL Series matches the spontaneity and simplicity of modern outdoor lifestyles, to power you outdoor adventures under the sun or the stars. TRAIL Series eliminates the bulk of an AC inverter to deliver a solution 60% smaller than traditional portable power stations. Weighing in as little as 4 lbs., it can easily fit into a backpack and join you for the journey.

Though small, TRAIL Series doesn’t compromise on performance. It offers just the right amount of energy needed to power many outdoor scenarios, delivering up to 300W of pure, high-efficiency DC output across up to five USB ports and one 12V car outlet.

With the proliferation of modern USB-powered devices, which run on DC power, TRAIL Series is compatible with 90% of camping essentials — seamlessly running phones, lights, tablets and even Starlink Mini. Many outdoor enthusiasts today don’t need to power AC devices with traditional wall outlet plugs, allowing development of a smaller, lighter and more energy-efficient solution. TRAIL Series powers up to two days of tent camping and recharges to 80 percent in about an hour.

A Lineup for Every Scenario
TRAIL Series is offered in three models — TRAIL 200, TRAIL 300 and TRAIL Plus 300. Each offers a unique balance of size, weight and power.

• TRAIL 200: Weighing just 4.03 lbs (1.83kg), it is the most compact option. With a 192Wh capacity and 220W output across four USB ports, it suits ultra-portable, light-duty scenarios. Ideal for hikers, solo explorers and outdoor photographers, it delivers just enough power for essential gear in the wild — without adding unnecessary bulk to your pack.
• TRAIL 300: The flagship model adds more power and ports while maintaining a slim 5.69 lbs (2.58kg) form factor. Featuring 288Wh capacity and 300W output across five ports, it supports charging up to five devices simultaneously and offers flexible recharging options via car or solar. Striking a balance between portability and performance, it’s ideal for campers, tailgaters and group outings that demand more charging capacity.
• TRAIL Plus 300: Bringing a lifestyle-forward twist, it offers the same core specs as TRAIL 300 but adds a built-in versatile camping light and a detachable 140W charging cable handle — combining utility and style in one compact design. It is also compatible with the EcoFlow App, supporting remote monitoring and control. Its sleek design will appeal to everyone, including the most demanding glampers.

A New Answer to Outdoor Needs
EcoFlow has long been the trusted choice for van-lifers, RVers and off-gridders who rely on high-capacity AC power solutions. But as outdoor lifestyles evolve, a new group is emerging — outdoor newcomers and short-term campers — who want power that’s lighter, simpler and easy to use.

“TRAIL series is our answer to a growing generation of consumers who want gear that’s as lightweight, functional and free-spirited as they are,” said Brian Essenmacher, head of North American business development at EcoFlow. “We designed the series to focus on DC power only – working smarter, not harder, so you can spend less time worrying about gear and more time enjoying the outdoors.”

Availability
The TRAIL 200 and 300 will be available for purchase on both Amazon and the EcoFlow website starting August 1, and TRAIL Plus 300 will be available later in October.

A limited-time launch promotion for TRAIL 200 and 300 will run from August 1 to September 25.

HAIKOU, China, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from Hainan International Media Center:

South China’s Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) will officially begin island-wide independent customs operations on December 18, 2025, with more products to be eligible for import under the FTP’s zero-tariff policy.

The new customs closure system establishes an area under the independent supervision of customs authorities covering the entire island of Hainan.

Wang Changlin, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at a recent press conference held by the State Council Information Office that after independent customs operations begin, the proportion of “zero tariff” goods in the Hainan FTP will increase from 21% to 74%. Wang added that imported products undergoing at least 30% value-added processing in Hainan will be eligible to enter the mainland tariff-free.

Vice Minister of Finance Liao Min noted that after island-wide independent customs operations begin, the number of duty-free eligible product categories in Hainan will increase from about 1,900 to around 6,600. Those eligible to take advantage of the policy will also increase to include companies, public institutions, and private non-corporate entities in the FTP with import needs, added Liao.

In April 2018, China announced the decision to develop Hainan into a pilot free trade zone. In June 2020, a master plan was unveiled to establish an initial FTP policy and institutional framework by 2025 and develop the province into a high level, globally influential FTP by 2050.

Over the past five years, the actual utilization of foreign capital in Hainan reached 102.5 billion yuan ($14.35 billion), with an average annual growth rate of 14.6%. A total of 8,098 new foreign-funded enterprises were established at an average annual growth rate of 43.7%. There have been 176 countries and regions that have invested in the FTP, and citizens of 85 countries are currently eligible for visa-free entry into Hainan.

Policy preparations for island-wide independent customs operations are already in place, said Feng Fei, secretary of the CPC Hainan Provincial Committee. The Ministries of Commerce and Finance, together with other departments, have issued a set of measures and lists to safeguard the ongoing implementation of the FTP’s independent customs operations.

Largest crypto exchange will waive banking triparty fee and absorb institutional custody partner Ceffu’s MirrorX and MirrorRSV service fees until 2026 

DUBAI, UAE, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem behind the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and user base, is pleased to announce it will support tokenized yield-bearing assets USYC and cUSDO through Binance Banking Triparty as well as through its institutional custody partner Ceffu, giving institutional users the additional choice of holding USYC and cUSDO off-exchange while simultaneously enjoying seamless access to the Binance platform and receiving yield on their pledged collateral.

This integration expands the range of supported collateral for institutional users beyond traditional assets such as fiat currencies and Treasury bills on Binance Banking Triparty, and beyond native crypto assets such as bitcoin on Ceffu.

Tokenization of real-world assets excluding stablecoins has increased to $24 billion in June 2025 from $15.2 billion in December 2024, and is projected to reach up to 30% of traditional finance assets worth over $400 trillion by 2034, indicating a potential exponential growth of over 100x for crypto which currently has a market cap of $3 trillion.

“Our integration of tokenized real-world assets demonstrates our continued focus to enhance user experience on Binance. By supporting USYC and cUSDO on Binance Banking Triparty as well as through our custody partner Ceffu, we are offering our institutional clients more choices to optimize their capital efficiency while balancing risk control requirements,” said Catherine Chen, Head of Binance VIP & Institutional. “Tokenization of real-world assets enables users to benefit from the inherent properties of digital assets, such as faster and cheaper settlement, 24/7 availability, and on-chain transparency, and will unlock further crypto adoption.”

“This collaboration with Binance marks a meaningful advancement in how institutions can engage with tokenized real-world assets,” said Kash Razzaghi, Chief Business Officer at Circle. “By making USYC available as off-exchange collateral with yield potential, we’re bringing capital efficiency and risk-managed optionality to institutional investors—bridging traditional finance and blockchain-powered markets.”

“We’re entering a new phase of institutional crypto adoption, where compliance focused, yield-bearing assets like cUSDO are becoming central to how capital is deployed on-chain,” said Jeremy Ng, Founder and CEO of OpenEden. “cUSDO’s integration into Binance Banking Triparty and their custody partner Ceffu showcases how institutional-grade RWAs can deliver the capital efficiency and security needed to drive meaningful participation from institutions.”

USYC is the digital representation of interests in Hashnote International Short Duration Yield Fund Ltd, a tokenized money market fund (TMMF) registered in the Cayman Islands (the “Fund”). The Fund invests primarily in reverse repurchase agreements backed by U.S. government securities. The Fund offers near-instant redemption into USDC. USYC will also be natively issued on BNB Chain, increasing its on-chain accessibility to more users.

cUSDO is a wrapped version of OpenEden OpenDollar (“USDO”), a rebasing yield-bearing stablecoin issued by OpenEden Digital, a Bermuda-licensed and regulated entity. cUSDO and USDO let holders earn yield generated from reserves backed by U.S. Treasury bills and reverse repurchase agreements.

Binance’s Global and Growing Banking Triparty Coverage

Binance was the first crypto exchange to introduce a triparty banking solution modeled after traditional finance in 2023, enabling institutional clients to custody their trading collateral under their own corporate account with a network of regulated banking partners, while enjoying seamless access to Binance’s full suite of institutional solutions and unparalleled deep liquidity.

To meet demand, Binance has expanded its network of triparty bank partners to enable institutional clients worldwide to meet their risk controls and confidently enter crypto while scaling for growth. With Binance Banking Triparty, clients can scale their trading activity on Binance in line with their capital, directly enhancing liquidity on the exchange to benefit all users.

From now until 2026, Binance is waiving banking triparty fees and will also absorb Ceffu’s MirrorX and MirrorRSV service fees to help more institutions accelerate their adoption. Users interested in Binance’s off-exchange solutions can visit Binance Banking Triparty and Ceffu, or contact their Binance VIP & Institutional representative.
