Linklogis and XRP Ledger Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Global Digital Supply Chain Finance Applications

SHENZHEN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 August 2025 – Recently, Linklogis (9959.HK), a leading Chinese supply chain fintech service provider, announced a strategic partnership with XRPL, a globally renowned enterprise-grade blockchain solution. The two parties will jointly facilitate the deployment of Linklogis global digital supply chain finance application on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) mainnet and drive its large-scale commercialization.

As the core of this collaboration, Linklogis will integrate its global digital supply chain finance platform onto the XRPL mainnet to enable the circulation and cross-border settlement of digital assets backed by real-world trade flows. This partnership not only marks its entry into the global decentralized financial ecosystem, but also demonstrates the company’s continued innovation in cross-border trade finance.

Looking ahead, the two sides will explore deeper collaboration in areas such as stablecoins and supply chain finance innovation, including smart contract–based trading of supply chain finance RWA assets and the convergence of blockchain and AI in global trade finance scenarios, further extending XRPL’s technical frontier in enterprise-grade real-world assets.

XRPL (XRP Ledger) was officially launched in 2012 by developers David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb, and Arthur Britto, with the goal of creating a more efficient and sustainable value-transfer system than Bitcoin. As early as 2011, they proposed the concept of “Bitcoin without mining,” aiming to address Bitcoin’s limitations by leveraging a distributed ledger and its native digital asset XRP (originally “ripples”) to deliver more efficient financial solutions. In 2012, the team partnered with Chris Larsen to form NewCoin, later renamed OpenCoin, which evolved into Ripple Labs (now Ripple). Its mission is to drive innovation and integration in the global financial system by bridging blockchain technology and traditional finance. XRPL has received financial support from partners worldwide—including Coil, Ripple, and Gatehub—who are committed to accelerating its technological development and global adoption to achieve decentralization and broad-based use.

Linklogis is committed to empowering supply chain finance through technology and promoting intelligence and sustainability across the industry, with the goal of becoming a leading global digital solutions provider. Since 2019, Linklogis has built out cross-border business under its “Go Early” and “Go Deep” strategy, serving customers in 27 countries and regions worldwide and processing RMB 20.7 billion in cross-border assets in 2024.

In 2020, Linklogis and Greenland Financial jointly obtained a Singapore digital banking license and founded Green Link Digital Bank, focusing on building an open digital finance ecosystem.

In 2023, Linklogis, together with the BIS Innovation Hub, Standard Chartered, RD Technologies, and Simmons & Simmons, advanced the Project Dynamo asset tokenization initiative. In the same year, the Monetary Authority of Singapore released a white paper on digital money and launched Project Guardian. As part of Project Guardian, Linklogis and Standard Chartered conducted the AssetBacked Security Token pilot that successfully issued the industry’s first tokenized product backed by trade assets, making it a key component of the initiative.

In 2024, as a founding shareholder, Linklogis helped establish SuperFi Labs, a DeFi innovation lab focused on building the next generation of consumer products on-chain. Offering RWA products on the asset side and DeFi products on the funding side, SuperFi Labs further advances the development of digital currencies and decentralized finance.

Held at Nuanu Creative City, Bali, on August 21-22, Coinfest Asia 2025 welcomed over 10,000 attendees from more than 90 countries, making it one of the largest blockchain gatherings in Asia and beyond.

During the event, CoinW presented its investment product ecosystem offline for the first time, featuring key products such as PropW, GemW, DeriW, and WConnect. The showcase provided participants with an overview of CoinW’s product portfolio and strategic priorities, highlighting its approach to developing diversified financial services.

A major focus of the event was the involvement of CoinW’s Chief Strategy Officer, Nassar, who joined several side sessions as a featured speaker. He shared perspectives on blockchain technology trends, digital asset investment strategies, and global market regulation, contributing to discussions on the evolving landscape of the crypto industry.

A Time to Shine

The crypto exchange’s unwavering commitment to security, transparency, and user-centric principles was on full display as one of the sponsors at Coinfest Asia 2025.

Representing CoinW as a speaker was its Chief Strategy Officer, Nassar Ackchar. On the event’s second day, he was invited to join the “Behind the Pump: The Stack That Moves Money” panel discussion. The insightful dialogue was moderated by event organizer Indonesia Crypto Network’s Head of Partnerships, Stanley Suhadi.

Nassar Ackchar said, “Users in emerging markets are increasingly treating stablecoins as a parallel financial system—using them for remittances, savings, and even everyday payments—and that demand is showing up in our volumes. “

Coinfest, themed “Full Moon,” symbolizes a new dawn for Web3 technologies emerging into mainstream adoption. This made it the perfect platform for CoinW to share its vision of innovation and collaboration in the crypto industry.

The event offered CoinW an exceptional opportunity to engage with industry leaders and the broader blockchain community while reinforcing Indonesia’s tokenization potential in the digital economy.

The event highlighted CoinW’s comprehensive digital asset trading ecosystem, which spans the entire value chain—from efficient centralized trading solutions to emerging decentralized innovations.

CoinW’s Chief Strategy Officer, Nassar, opened the session with a keynote presentation focused on the company’s “user-first” philosophy. Drawing on data and user feedback, he explained how the CoinW platform works alongside invested ecosystem products such as GemW and WConnect to deliver an integrated trading experience.

The PropW team introduced this proprietary trading platform designed for professional traders and institutional investors. The platform offers quantitative trading tools, API access, and risk management solutions for high-frequency and large-volume trading.

They explained how the platform enhances trading efficiency. PropW serves around 100,000 traders across 50+ countries and regions and aims to transform the trading industry through enhanced efficiency, not just product innovation.

The DeriW team outlined the platform’s strategic vision, emphasizing its role as a key component of blockchain infrastructure and its long-term growth potential.

Their presentation highlighted DeriW’s core strengths, including its Rollup-based architecture with a processing capacity of 80,000 TPS and a zero-gas perpetual contract model aimed at enhancing the user experience. The team also discussed DeriW’s positioning in the decentralized finance ecosystem, demonstrating how its high-yield LP liquidity pools attract diverse participants and support the development of a sustainable economic model.

The “Connecting Legends” event successfully demonstrated CoinW’s technological prowess and strengthened its community ties through interactive experiences. A common sentiment among attendees was that their direct involvement provided a clear window into CoinW’s dedication to creating an accessible cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Through its active participation at Coinfest Asia 2025, CoinW reaffirmed its commitment to advancing the cryptocurrency industry via education, innovation, and strategic partnerships. The platform’s presence at this major Indonesian event further highlighted its strategic focus on Asian markets.

With Asia emerging as a hub for rapid digital asset adoption, CoinW sees significant long-term opportunities in the region. Countries like Indonesia are especially promising, with young, tech-savvy populations and evolving digital economy policies.

Maoyan Entertainment Announces 2025 Interim Results

BEIJING, Aug. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Maoyan Entertainment (“Maoyan” or the “Company”, 1896.HK), a leading platform providing innovative Internet empowered entertainment services in China, today announced its audited consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

First Half 2025 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue was RMB2,472.2 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 13.9%, compared with RMB2,170.9 million in the first half year of 2024.
  • Gross profit was RMB936.5 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 19.0%, compared with RMB1,156.2 million in the first half year of 2024.
  • Profit was RMB178.5 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 37.3%, compared with RMB284.8 million in the first half year of 2024.
  • Adjusted net profit[1] was RMB235.0 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 33.2%, compared with RMB351.8 million in the first half year of 2024.

[1] We defined adjusted net profit as net profit for the year adjusted by adding back share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business combinations.

BUSINESS REVIEW 

In the first half of 2025, driven by top-tier films during the Spring Festival, the total box office nationwide was RMB29.231 billion, and the number of moviegoers was 641 million, up 22.91% and 16.89% year-on-year respectively (according to the data released by the China Film Administration (國家電影局)). However, the film market experienced a significant downturn from March to June 2025, with a relatively lower supply of top-tier films, and the total box office during such period was only RMB6.771 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 33.68% (according to data from Maoyan Pro (貓眼專業版)). In contrast, the offline performance market maintained its high popularity and vitality during the Reporting Period.

Under this circumstance, the number of released films that the Company participated and its box office performance remained at the forefront of the industry. The Company also continuously maintained its leading edge in terms of its promotion and distribution service capacities and market coverage and maintained abundant project reserves. Furthermore, the Company continued to enhance its offline performance business’s market competitiveness. However, due to the downturn of the overall market after the Spring Festival, the box office performance of some film projects in which the Company participated was lower than expected. This, along with the Company’s increased investment in its live performance and IP businesses, affected profitability to a certain extent during the Reporting Period.

Entertainment Content Services

As a leading film promoter and distributor in China, we actively participate in the promotion and distribution/production of domestic movies, providing a wide range of services for an increasing number of movies and maintaining our market-leading distribution and promotion advantages. During the Reporting Period, we participated in the promotion and distribution/production of 29 domestic films and 9 imported films, among which we acted as a lead distributor for 24 movies and as a self-producer for 4 movies, setting historical records in terms of quantity for the same period in our history. For instance, we participated in the distribution/production of 4 films among the top 5 domestic films at the box office in the first half of the year.

During the Reporting Period, we actively leveraged our promotion and distribution capabilities and advantages and constantly adjusted our strategies to respond to market changes and support and serve the films we promoted. A number of movies that we lead-distributed/produced delivered topnotch box office performance during their respective release period. For instance, during the Spring Festival season, we accurately grasped market trends and flexibly adjusted our film promotion and marketing strategies based on real-time feedback. DETECTIVE CHINATOWN 1900 (唐探1900) achieved great success in both reputation and box office, securing the No. 2 spot in the Spring Festival box office with a box office of RMB3.612 billion. This marks the fifth consecutive year that films under our lead distribution have ranked in the top two during the Spring Festival season. Similarly, after the holiday season, when the overall market cooled and audience enthusiasm declined, we acted bold and broke through traditional audience boundaries to attract a more diverse viewership. The Dumpling Queen (水餃皇后), a non-genre film, drew over 10 million moviegoers and became the May Day holiday’s box office champion, serving as a breakthrough case for the industry during a “content cooling” period. Although the box office performance of some films we participated in during the Reporting Period fell short of expectations due to factors such as the overall market downturn, we maintained our promotion and distribution capabilities and advantages. We will continue to adjust our strategies to actively respond to market changes and enhance our promotion and distribution services for films and the market.

As the film market gradually recovered in mid-July (since July 18, 2025, the national single-day box office has remained above RMB100 million for more than 30 consecutive days), many summer films that we lead-distributed/produced such as The Litchi Road (長安的荔枝), The Legend of Hei 2 (羅小黑戰記2), The Stage (戲台), Nobody (浪浪山小妖怪) and The Adventure (奇遇) have been released in quick succession. Several of these films have performed well at the box office and are expected to positively impact profits in the second half of the year. Looking ahead, we have a rich pipeline of lead-distributed/produced films scheduled for successive release, including:

Online Entertainment Ticketing Services

Since the beginning of 2025, the offline performance market has maintained a rich supply and strong demand. We continue to invest in and develop our offline performance ticketing business, further strengthening basic service capabilities such as ticketing infrastructure and on-site operations and building a stability assurance system that exceeds industry standards, reinforcing the Company’s core competitiveness.

During the Report Period, we ensured the smooth operation of thousands of large-scale performances and events. Specifically, in addition to committed ticketing services for top domestic artists’ multi-stop tours, including Jacky Cheung, Jay Chou, Eason Chan and JJ Lin, we also provided high-quality ticketing and on-site services for the domestic concerts of many foreign artists including Travis Scott and Imagine Dragons. In the second half of the year, the Group will also provide ticketing agency services for major concerts staged by artists such as Mayday (五月天), Lay Zhang (張藝興), Charlie Zhou (周深), David Zee Tao (陶喆) and Leehom Wang (王力宏), as well as major events such as WTT Champions Macao 2025 (WTT澳門冠軍賽2025) and King Pro League (KPL王者榮耀職業聯賽). For local performance events, our GMV and coverage continued to increase. For example, the GMV of categories such as local Quyi shows, leisure exhibitions and talk shows all increased by more than 80% year-on-year. At the same time, we actively explored performance content production. During the Reporting Period, we participated intensively in the first Beijing Weibo ACG WORLD (北京微博遊戲動漫展), which attracted tens of thousands of participants over three days.

In addition, in overseas regions, our performance-related GMV increased by more than 300% year-on-year. We also achieved in-depth cooperation with many premium stadiums in Hong Kong and Macau, and continued to enrich the performance projects of our self-operated ticketing platform, uutix, serving various performance projects in Hong Kong and Macau, including large-scale concerts, film festivals, theatrical events, and talk shows. Meanwhile, we further expanded our services to Southeast Asia. During the Reporting Period, we provided ticketing services for various performance projects in cities across multiple countries, including Ayumi Hamasaki’s Singapore tour, G-Dragon’s Philippines tour, Superpop 2025 Korea, and the 2025 Siam Songkran Music Festival.

In terms of online movie ticketing services, while maintaining our market leadership and competitive edge, we have been actively providing high-quality movie ticketing services to the industry, consistently innovating categories and business scenarios to help theaters and markets achieve multi-scenario, multi-functional and multi-service commercialization capabilities and a more convenient service experience. During the Reporting Period, we further enhanced our platform’s service and collaboration capabilities, and continued to optimize core system capabilities such as real-time scheduling synchronization, seating reservations, and refund and exchange rule engines. Furthermore, we continued our long-standing role as ticketing service provider for the Beijing International Film Festival, marking our fifth consecutive year of partnership. We provided practical service support in ticketing, thematic campaign, and delivered integrated “culture, commerce, tourism and sports” public welfare services for the Festival. Beyond this, we have provided service support for cultural benefit initiatives by governments in many provinces and cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Hainan, fulfilling our corporate social responsibility and further helping to boost the vitality of the cultural consumption market. Moreover, through deepened collaboration with ticketing system partners, our services now cover more than 3,000 cinemas across the country, providing more cinemas with enhanced system service capabilities.

Advertising Services and Others

We are actively exploring and expanding into IP derivative businesses, making progress across IP reserves, operations, and channel development, with plans for continued investment. In the upstream, we have connected with outstanding creators and content, leveraging our promotion and distribution capabilities to open up online and offline channels. Taking film IP as our starting point, we are developing IP derivative businesses and expanding into other IP categories with our distinctive channel and marketing advantages. At present, we have created several proprietary IPs, such as the Panda Plan (熊貓計劃) series and Endless Journey of Love (時間之子), and have carried out joint cooperation in film promotion and distribution + IP derivatives with films such as The Legend of Hei 2 (羅小黑戰記2). Notably, we recently undertook full-scenario IP operations while acting as lead distributor for The Legend of Hei, our first time attempting this dual role. We held pop-up themed premieres, opened pop-up stores simultaneously in thousands of cinemas across the country, and executed online merchandise sales, effectively boosting the IP’s commercial value and driving online and offline sales. Our self-produced Panda Plan (熊貓計劃) series, centered on our original character Panda Huhu, is another particularly good example. Using film as a medium, the Panda Plan (熊貓計劃) series, has turned “panda” and”kung fu” into a “universal language”, showing Chinese stories and Chinese images on screens in dozens of countries and regions overseas, and simultaneously enhancing IP and brand value. Looking ahead, we will also actively participate in related projects such as top-tier game IP movies, top-tier Chinese comic IP movies, etc., to deeply integrate IP and movies and connect with more partners in the entertainment industry.

Meanwhile, we continue to increase our investment in AI and big data infrastructure. Our Maoyan Pro leverages exclusive big data algorithms and industry chain cooperation to provide the entire industry with timely, accurate global box office insights for decision-making guidance. For example, during this year’s Spring Festival season, our Maoyan Pro served more than 120 million users in total, and its global box office list became the industry standard. In addition, we established multi-level business and technology collaborations with various AI companies, to jointly explore the application and iteration of AI technology in animation production, visual storytelling and other fields.

During the Reporting Period, our Maoyan Research Institute (貓眼研究院) released several industry reports on key film seasons, analyzing the changes in the film market from demand to audience demographics. These insights will support more refined and segmented approaches to future film marketing from a marketing channel perspective. At the same time, our Maoyan Research Institute continued to provide audience data-based support for the early development and promotion of films, helping industry partners conduct business more efficiently.

OUTLOOK

As various types of movies with diverse themes are being released successively, as of August 24, 2025, the summer movie box office has exceeded RMB11 billion, and the annual cumulative movie box office has reached about 38.3 billion. In a volatile market environment, we will remain committed to our core development strategy of “Technology + Pan-Entertainment”, increase our investment in performance business, and further enhance participation and competitiveness in the offline performance market. Meanwhile, we will continue to actively develop the content IP derivative business, enhance our IP evaluation capabilities, continue to incubate our own IPs and explore IPs with commercial value. We will also further explore the application of AI technology in the film and television industry. Finally, we will maintain and further strengthen our leading position in the film sector, providing high-quality content and ticketing services to partners across the industry.

Last but not least, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of our colleagues, shareholders, and industry partners for their trust and support. Let us forge ahead together and propel the high-quality development of the film industry, positioning China as a major global cinematic player.

SafetySam Launches New Product for Fire Hazard Mitigation


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 August 2025 – SafetySam, a provider of PPE and safety equipment, has introduced the Bridgehill Fire Blanket in Singapore. This fire containment solution is designed to address fire hazards involving electric vehicles (EVs), lithium-ion batteries, and high-temperature industrial machinery, where conventional methods such as water, foam, or powder may be less effective or pose additional hazards.

SafetySam

How the Technology Works

The Bridgehill Fire Blanket uses a dual approach of oxygen deprivation and thermal insulation. Its advanced, high-performance fibres withstand temperatures up to 1,600°C. Once deployed, the blanket is tested to reduce core temperatures from 1,100°C to under 400°C in 30 seconds. This not only suppresses flames but also traps hazardous gases such as hydrogen fluoride, a dangerous by-product of lithium battery fires. Its flexible, non-stick structure allows just two people to deploy it in under 20 seconds. For workplaces with forklifts, scooters, or lithium tools, the Bridgehill Fire Blanket reduces downtime, minimises the release of toxic gas, and protects adjacent stock and structures from secondary ignition.

Purpose-Built for Modern Fire Hazards

Most fire blankets are intended for small kitchen or clothing fires. The Bridgehill Fire Blanket is engineered for large, complex fire scenarios, including:

  • EVs and conventional vehicles
  • Lithium-ion battery storage and recycling facilities
  • Electric forklifts, e-scooters, and battery-powered tools
  • High-temperature machinery in industrial settings

SafetySam offers two product lines:

  • Single-Use Blanket – Recommended for public and commercial facilities.
  • Pro X Reusable Blanket – Designed for emergency responders, with durability for up to 30 deployments and repairable via included kits.

Rising Risks, Urgent Solutions

With EV adoption accelerating, lithium-ion battery demand is projected to grow 27% annually to 4,700 GWh by 2030. Thermal runaways from these lithium-ion battery fire hazards can reach 2,760°C, far exceeding the melting points of concrete and steel structures. They may also release high volumes of toxic smoke.

“Emerging technologies like EVs bring new fire hazards that traditional firefighting tools cannot fully address,” said Jeffrey Seah, General Manager at PDS International. “The Bridgehill Fire Blanket is a decisive, zero-damage first-response solution that empowers facilities, first responders, and even homeowners to act fast and protect lives, property, and the environment.”

Complementary Safety Measures

This launch complements SafetySam’s comprehensive battery safety equipment, which includes Emtez Safety Cabinets for Lithium-Ion Batteries, New Pig Obsidian Pillows for absorbing electrolyte leaks, and Transport Storage Boxes for safe battery transit and storage.

The company is also conducting information sessions and demonstrations with industry groups, facilities managers, and emergency services to raise awareness of fire hazards associated with emerging technologies and to discuss potential mitigation strategies.
