HTX Executives Go Face-to-Face: Justin Sun & Molly Dive Into Market Strategy, Space Visions, and More Opportunities

SINGAPORE, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange has officially  launched its new live talk show series Real Talk with HTX Executives. The premiere episode featured Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX, who provided an in-depth discussion on several recent platform highlights. HTX representative Molly also participated in the show, directly addressing user questions in real-time.

On The Launch of Mars Program Special Edition 

Justin Sun: A journey to Mars is actually a personal dream of mine. Interestingly,the Chinese names HTX and Mars form a natural alliteration.

For now, the first step is space travel. I believe it’s a pursuit worth sharing with the HTX community. If there’s ever an opportunity, I aspire to offer our users the chance to experience space as well. Our investment in the space sector is long-term. 

Our focus on space does not imply any deceleration in our core product development. On the contrary, HTX remains aggressive and ahead of the curve in new asset listings. As a Top 10 exchange, HTX possesses both significant momentum and established credibility. Regarding the speed and quality of token listings, our competitiveness matches, if not surpasses, that of any other exchange in the market.

The Mars Program symbolizes our vision for the future, reaching for the stars and beyond. Simultaneously, we remain firmly grounded in our commitment to our community. Our ongoing reward campaigns and $HTX token empowerment initiatives continue to operate at full capacity, delivering tangible value to our users.

On the Partnership with Trump Family’s Crypto Project

Justin Sun: We were one of the earliest players to recognize the significance of the Trump family’s involvement in crypto. From the beginning, I believed that Donald Trump’s influence would bring a huge wave of positive momentum into space, and now we’re seeing that come to life.

I am honored to serve as an advisor to the Trump family’s crypto team. I’m actively involved in providing insights and helping bridge the gap between crypto and traditional politics and, in a broader sense, possibly even between the two major economies. Our objective is to establish a robust, long-term relationship with the Trump family and onboard individuals from traditional industries into Web3.

On HTX’s Performance and Growth Strategy

Justin Sun: I’m confident that as long as HTX stays on the right course, sustainable growth will follow. Our strong brand influence, coupled with established reputation as a veteran exchange, fosters deep and enduring trust among our user base. What sets us apart is our unwavering focus on doing what’s right, especially in security and risk controls. HTX has maintained an unblemished security record for over twenty months, a significant accomplishment considering the frequency of security breaches within the industry. 

We will soon launch a major win-back campaign for dormant users. If you’ve been away from HTX, there’s never been a better time to come back and rediscover what we offer.

The “Real Talk with HTX Executives” program was conceived based on my conviction that security is the paramount concern for cryptocurrency users. A lack of public engagement from exchange leadership can potentially erode user trust. This on-camera series will enable HTX executives to speak directly to our users, share important updates, and listen to their thoughts and concerns firsthand. This commitment to open communication is fundamental to how HTX continuously builds and reinforces user trust.

In response to inquiries about the future role of exchanges and HTX’s potential redefinition of the “trading platform,” HTX representative @HTX_Molly explained that HTX is evolving beyond the traditional exchange model, aiming to be a builder driving the industry’s long-term progress. By cultivating DAO culture and prioritizing community engagement, HTX is forging deeper connections among miners, developers, and users. This collaborative approach aims to facilitate the integration of Web3 into mainstream adoption through genuine consensus-building. 

Meanwhile, with Justin Sun’s recent efforts to expand HTX’s reach into the U.S. market, the exchange is making a strategic move to send a global message — that Chinese exchanges offer not only speed, but also conviction and long-term vision.

About HTX

Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved from a virtual asset exchange into a comprehensive ecosystem of blockchain businesses that span digital asset trading, financial derivatives, research, investments, incubation, and other businesses.

As a world-leading gateway to Web3, HTX harbors global capabilities that enable it to provide users with safe and reliable services. Adhering to the growth strategy of “Global Expansion, Thriving Ecosystem, Wealth Effect, Security & Compliance,” HTX is dedicated to providing quality services and values to virtual asset enthusiasts worldwide.

Glow Festival by Prudential 2025: A Cultural Reset for Whole-Person Wellness

With global stars, bold conversations, and Singapore’s first 60KM national ultra marathon, the fourth edition marks a bold new chapter for Singapore’s wellness movement 

SINGAPORE, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Glow Festival by Prudential 2025 returns from 5 to 13 July 2025, transforming Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza into Singapore’s epicentre of modern wellbeing. In its fourth edition, Glow steps into a powerful new role, reimagining wellness as a multi-sensory, deeply human experience for everybody and every stage of life.

Glow Festival by Prudential 2025
Glow Festival by Prudential 2025

This year’s theme, Dynamic Vibes, signals a bold invitation: to move with intention, feel with honesty, and live with greater awareness. From mental health and emotional resilience to movement, music and recovery, Glow Festival by Prudential 2025 champions a vision of wellness that is expansive, culturally grounded, and joyful.

As Presenting Sponsor, Prudential Singapore (“Prudential”) will launch Every Body Club, a new initiative designed to empower individuals from various walks of life to take proactive steps toward managing their physical, emotional and financial wellbeing. Glow Festival by Prudential 2025 will serve as the anchor event for this nationwide initiative.

For the first time, Glow’s programme expands to spotlight a broader spectrum of health topics, from Traditional Chinese Medicine and fertility to oral health, menopause, nervous system health, and emotional regulation. By putting these conversations centre stage, Prudential Singapore aims to raise awareness around holistic wellbeing and strengthen its promise to provide meaningful support to customers when they need it most.

Belinda Tan, Head of Marketing & Events, Prudential Singapore, said, “We are committed to empowering individuals to proactively take care of their health. As the Presenting Sponsor of Glow Festival, we are delighted to bring in experts covering a wide range of health and wellness topics, inviting festival-goers to discover the essence of living well. Furthermore, with the launch of our wellness initiative, Every Body Club, we aim to build a strong foundation of holistic wellbeing and be trusted partners for our customers in the long term.”

Mr Martin Capstick, Founder, Glow Festival, shared, “This year is about meeting people where they are and helping them connect with what matters most: movement, presence, and meaning. We have expanded the festival to reflect the full spectrum of wellbeing. Whether you’re here for strength training, healing workshops, or deeper dialogue around mental and emotional health, you’ll find space to grow.”

Ms Lilian Chee, Director, Sports, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “Now in its fourth edition, the Glow Festival has established itself as a key homegrown event that strengthens Singapore’s position as a leading urban wellness destination through innovative and diverse programming. Together with committed partners, the festival consistently delivers quality experiences for both locals and visitors, adding vibrancy to Singapore’s leisure events calendar.”

What’s New: Energy, Empathy, Evolution

  • Mental Health Workshops offer tools for nervous system regulation, and psychological safety. This emphasis reflects a growing need: anxiety and depression symptoms are estimated to cost Singapore nearly $16 billion annually, or 2.9 per cent of its GDP, due to lost productivity. By offering tools for healing and self-awareness, Glow invites participants to reclaim their calm, clarity, and connection, from the inside out.
  • Health Conversations, presented by Prudential Singapore and Thomson Medical, invites participants into open, specialist-led dialogues across a wide spectrum of health and wellbeing topics. From protecting your vision in a digital-first world to tips on how to raise confident kids, to the role of Traditional Chinese Medicine in healing and sports injury prevention, these sessions reflect the growing need for whole-person health support. Women’s health remains a key focus, with honest conversations around fertility, hormonal balance, and intimacy helping to bring overlooked aspects of wellbeing into the light.
  • New Conversations on Modern Womanhood: Malaysian entrepreneur and creative Jane Lau (known widely as Jane Chuck), joins forces with Germaine Chow, CEO and co-founder of I Quadrant, to explore identity, ambition, and caregiving in a conversation that invites vulnerability, self-reinvention, and solidarity.

Movement That Moves You

Glow Festival by Prudential 2025 brings together global wellness leaders and local changemakers to stretch what’s possible in the wellness space. Among this year’s headliners:

  • Dylan Werner , international yoga master, shares a grounded, science-meets-spirit approach to breathwork and movement.
  • Olivia May , elite sprinter and trainer, offers athlete-inspired workouts that tap into inner focus and physical precision.
  • Dannibelle Robertson , strength coach and digital personality, leads empowering sessions that celebrate self-acceptance and joyful fitness.
  • Sunrise Rave Runs blend cardio with curated music and morning energy, redefining social connection through alcohol-free, movement-forward events. With resident DJ collective Beans&Beats and a rotating lineup of local DJs setting the tone, these high-vibe mornings offer a uniquely Singaporean soundscape to start the day. All runners will receive a cup of specialty coffee and a signature Croclair, a croissant-éclair hybrid, crafted by LUME. By providing wellness-focused, community-driven events in the morning, Glow Festival by Prudential 2025 is leading the way in creating innovative daytime social experiences that blend movement, music, and connection. It demonstrates that wellness tourism and vibrant social culture can thrive well beyond the traditional nightlife model.
  • SG60: Singapore’s First 60KM Ultra Marathon, presented with Noble, commemorates Singapore’s 60th birthday with a 60-kilometre overnight run to spotlight mental health. While Singapore saw a 32.4 per cent drop in suicides in 2023, the lowest since 2000, suicide remains the leading cause of death for those aged 10 to 29, accounting for about 30 per cent of all deaths in this age group. This stark reality underscores the urgent need for open conversations and community support. Part of the proceeds will go to the Samaritans of Singapore, supporting suicide prevention and mental health awareness. Noble Ambassador Jordan Hamada leads the charge in memory of his father, who died by suicide.

Feel It in the Space

This year’s spatial design, created by Pique Studio, brings the Wellness Frequency to life: an immersive journey across energy states:

The Studio
The Studio

The Workshop Room
The Workshop Room

The Studio is a livewire of radiant orange, luminous pink, and echo purple – a space designed to ignite physical vitality. Here, yoga flows, strength classes, and high-energy movement sessions unfold against a bold, high-voltage backdrop that stokes the body’s inner fire.

Moving into The Wellness Club, the mood shifts. Vibrancy gives way to vital greens and tranquil blues, signalling a return to earth. Natural textures, living plants, and organic landscapes create a soft sanctuary for recovery, reflection, and meaningful connection.

In The Workshop Room, the frequency deepens. Colours soften, textures calm, and the space invites stillness. Talks, hands-on workshops, and guided meditations find their rhythm here – a place built for inward exploration and personal evolution. 

Join the Movement

Glow Festival by Prudential 2025 aims to ignite a broader conversation: that wellness is a cultural invitation to reset, recharge, and reconnect with your body, your people, and your purpose.

Tickets are now on sale via the official website here. Early bird General Admission (SGD 29) includes access to one Main Studio class and a bundle of limited edition Glow Festival x Prudential Singapore merchandise, along with health and fitness treats from LAC, Liht Organics, and more. VIP tickets with additional perks will be announced closer to the festival.

Binance Pay integrates with Pix, enabling instant crypto-powered payments in Brazilian Reais across Brazil

Functionality already familiar to 174 million Brazilians increases usability and can boost the adoption of cryptocurrencies in the country, says Regional VP Guilherme Nazar

SÃO PAULO, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency platform by trading volume and number of users, has integrated its payment solution, Binance Pay, with Brazil’s Pix system to enable instant payments in the local currency using cryptocurrencies and transfers to any individual or merchant across Latin America’s largest country.

With the integration, Binance users in Brazil can now make instant transfers and payments directly from their accounts on the Binance exchange to any bank account or pay merchants accepting Pix. The value of the digital asset is instantly converted to Brazilian reais with transactions completed in seconds. Supporting over 100 cryptocurrencies, this launch marks the integration of Binance Pay with Brazil’s widely used national Pix payment network — bringing crypto into everyday life and making it easier for users to spend digital assets in real-world transactions.

Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, says: “Integrating Pix, a remarkable development by the government of Brazil, with Binance Pay marks a revolutionary step forward, combining the speed and accessibility of Brazil’s instant payment system with the global reach and innovation of Binance. This synergy empowers users with seamless, real-time transactions, enhancing the crypto experience and driving financial inclusion to new heights.”

Guilherme Nazar, Binance’s regional vice president for Latin America, adds: “This is a significant milestone because it is the first time Binance Pay is integrated into a national payment system in the world. It allows our users in Brazil to use their cryptocurrencies for payments at any commercial establishment and to anyone in the country, quickly, safely and easily, using a system they are already familiar with. This launch makes cryptocurrencies more accessible and usable in everyday life, and reflects Binance’s commitment to customizing its global products to meet the demands of our local users.”

Pix, an instant payment service launched by the Central Bank of Brazil, has been gaining the preference of Brazilians since its launch in 2020. Currently, more than 174 million people and many institutions use the service in the country and carry out around 6 billion transactions per month, according to data from the authority.

According to the survey “Brazilians and their Relationship with Money“, released by the Central Bank, Pix is already used by 76.4% of the Brazilian population, surpassing the use of cash (68.9%) and debit cards (69.1%).

“Payments are one of the most obvious uses of cryptocurrencies. The integration of Binance Pay with Pix makes cryptocurrency payments more intuitive and familiar to Brazilians who are already accustomed to the Central Bank’s tool, and consequently boosts the growth of digital asset adoption in the country”, adds Nazar.

Brazil is the 6th-largest market in cryptocurrency adoption in the world, with around 17.5% of the population already owning some type of digital asset, according to data from the Triple-A consultancy. A recent survey conducted by Instituto Locomotiva for Binance showed that 42% of Brazilian investors already have exposure to digital assets, a percentage equal to that of those who own investment funds and stocks.

Elyon Family Clinic Launches STD Testing Packages Amid Rising Sexual Health Awareness

SINGAPORE, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Elyon Family Clinic & Surgery, an STD clinic in Singapore, has expanded its diagnostic offerings with the launch of two new testing packages: the STI-7 Multiplex Panel and the Genital Ulcer Assay. These additions are in line with the clinic’s ongoing commitment to improving early detection and clinical outcomes in the area of sexual health.

The introduction of these testing options comes amid rising awareness of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and shifting infection patterns in Singapore and across Asia. Regional medical reports have noted an increase in the prevalence of infections such as Mycoplasma genitalium, Hepatitis C virus, and other lesser-known pathogens. Many of these conditions often present with minimal or no symptoms, making them difficult to diagnose using traditional testing methods.

The STI-7 Multiplex Panel provides simultaneous testing for seven common and emerging STIs in a single lab-based analysis. This includes detection of conditions such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and Mycoplasma genitalium, among others. The test is designed for individuals seeking a broad diagnostic overview, particularly those with multiple risk factors or recurring symptoms.

The Genital Ulcer Assay, on the other hand, focuses on identifying pathogens responsible for ulcerative STDs. It helps to accurately diagnose infections such as syphilis and herpes, which are often underdiagnosed despite their increasing presence in the local population.

Both new packages support Elyon Family Clinic & Surgery’s mission to offer accessible and confidential STD screening options backed by up-to-date clinical protocols. These tests add to the clinic’s existing services that include STD consultations, treatment, and preventive care.

Elyon Family Clinic & Surgery is helmed by Dr. Vincent Chia, a Harvard-trained, board-accredited Family Physician with over 25 years of clinical experience. Under his leadership, the clinic has built a reputation for professionalism, discretion, and evidence-based care. Its services include HIV testing, ensuring timely diagnosis and management as part of its comprehensive sexual health offerings.

With these expanded offerings, Elyon Family Clinic & Surgery continues to strengthen its capacity to address a wide range of sexual health needs in Singapore.
