NEW YORK, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 June 2026 – GLM, a fashion and tech accessories brand, today announced the launch of the Essential Clutch – Limited Edition, a slim laptop clutch designed to complement the Microsoft Surface Laptop, 13.8-inch. Available in limited quantities, the piece is equally suited to slim laptops from all manufacturers and continues GLM’s approach of treating tech carry with the same design intent applied to fashion accessories. GLM is a Designed for Microsoft Surface Partner, recognizing products built to meet Microsoft’s standards for fit, protection, and design alongside Surface devices.

The Essential Clutch – Limited Edition is made from cactus leather, a plant-based vegan leather, with 100% recycled fabrics used for lining, straps, and protective padding, consistent with the materials across GLM’s collection. The interior lining, an exclusive Art Deco print, was designed to align with the Microsoft Surface Laptop, 13.8-inch, offering device owners a complementary piece that stands on its own as a considered accessory. As a limited-edition release, the restricted quantities reflect both the seasonal nature of the colorway and the brand’s broader commitment to low-waste production. The clutch is designed to carry necessary technology without bulk, supporting commutes, office environments, evening engagements, and travel days that require consolidation. It can be worn on its own or nested inside a larger tote to distribute weight across bags.
The Essential Clutch joins GLM’s existing range of slim laptop bags, which launched in the U.S. earlier this year. GLM was founded by Candina Weston, who brings more than 25 years of experience across technology, the PC industry, retail, marketing, and operations, including senior leadership roles in structured technology environments and brand-led businesses. This background informs the brand’s focus on real-world professional carry needs: device protection, a slim and structured silhouette, and a design philosophy that treats laptop carry as a daily requirement rather than purely functional.
GLM identifies its target audience as professionals across industries who care about style and whose daily routines involve movement.
“The Essential Clutch – Limited Edition is a natural extension of what GLM is built on,” said founder Candina Weston. “We designed it to sit alongside the devices people already carry, while keeping the same focus on slim, considered design that runs through the rest of the collection.” GLM currently serves customers in the United States and Singapore, with plans to expand into additional international markets within the next 12 months.Hashtag: #GLM

HONG KONG, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ailit, a next-generation smart inventory management SaaS platform, has introduced serial number (SN) and IMEI tracking capabilities to help electronics wholesale and retail merchants manage high-value devices with greater accuracy, from stock-in to after-sales service.
For merchants selling smartphones, laptops, tablets and wearable devices, inventory issues are rarely just about quantity. Two devices may share the same model and color but differ in supplier, purchase date, customer, warranty terms and service history. When a return, repair or stock discrepancy occurs, the key question is not “How many are left?” but “Which exact device is this?”
Ailit assigns each device a unique SN or IMEI record at stock-in. The same identifier then follows the product through purchasing, sales, transfers, returns and repairs. Staff can scan or enter the code to find related product, order, customer and transaction details, replacing scattered spreadsheets, handwritten notes and chat records with a clearer device history.
“Many electronics wholesalers and retailers already know their stock count, but they need confidence in each individual device record,” said an Ailit spokesperson. “When a customer brings in a phone for repair, the store should be able to confirm when it was sold, who bought it and what service terms apply.”
Ailit supports barcode scanner input, manual entry and batch generation, making serial number tracking easier to use in daily purchasing, sales and service workflows. With device records connected across the business, merchants can reduce stock discrepancies, respond faster to after-sales requests and keep clearer responsibility records across teams.
The platform also connects device tracking with pricing, payments and online ordering. Pricing is applied automatically based on customer type, while deposits, balances, credit sales and staged payments can be tied to sales orders for easier reconciliation. Product and inventory data can also be synchronized to mobile storefronts, allowing customers to browse, select models and place orders online.
Ailit provides sales statistics, profit analysis and inventory reports to support daily decisions. By linking device-level tracking with core retail workflows, Ailit gives small and micro merchants fewer blind spots, faster service and greater control over every device moving through the business.
About Ailit
Ailit (https://www.ailitsoft.com/en) is a next-generation smart inventory management SaaS platform for small and micro merchants, and a sub-brand of Kingdee International Software Group Limited (0268.HK). Ailit has served more than 3 million merchants across over 30 industries, with merchants spanning 130 countries and regions and more than 110,000 weekly active merchants.

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, today announced the launch of the KuCoin Wealth Quant Fund, introducing its first product, the Neutral Enhanced Fund. Designed for high-net-worth users, the fund brings professionally managed, market-neutral digital asset strategies into the KuCoin Wealth experience, offering a more structured approach to long-term capital allocation, risk management and portfolio diversification.
As the digital asset market matures, investor needs are moving beyond simple market access, spot trading and basic yield products. High-net-worth users and professional investors are increasingly focused on how to manage digital assets more effectively across market cycles, activate existing holdings, reduce reliance on one-sided market exposure and gain greater clarity around strategy, fees, liquidity and risk.
This shift is revealing a layer of demand between conventional crypto yield products and institutional-style private fund solutions. While basic Earn products are accessible, they may not fully meet the needs of users seeking more advanced allocation strategies. Private funds and institutional solutions, meanwhile, can involve higher thresholds, longer processes and less standardized access. In response to this market demand, KuCoin Wealth Quant Fund was designed to provide access to a professional market-neutral strategy through an exchange-native product experience with clear subscription, redemption, NAV and fee mechanisms.
The Neutral Enhanced Fund employs quantitative market-neutral strategies, including arbitrage and long-short trading, with the goal of minimizing dependence on overall market movements. Designed to offer both accessibility and flexibility, the fund is denominated in USDT, has a relatively low minimum subscription requirement of 50,000 USDT, and features a 30-day lock-up period, providing investors with greater liquidity than many longer-term alternatives. Transparency is also a key feature of the fund. There are no subscription or management fees, and performance fees are charged only when an investor’s NAV surpasses their individual high-water mark and generates new gains. No performance fee is incurred during drawdown periods or when the NAV remains below the high-water mark, ensuring that fees are closely aligned with actual investment results.
Supported by an independent custody framework, sub-account management, real-time monitoring and comprehensive risk controls, KuCoin Wealth Quant Fund reflects KuCoin’s broader commitment to building trusted, transparent and responsible digital asset wealth management solutions for users moving from trading toward long-term allocation.
