TAIPEI, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HOYA BIT, a Taiwan-based cryptocurrency exchange, recently announced that it has become the world’s first crypto exchange to achieve BSI ISO 14068-1 carbon neutrality certification. Bryn Sutton, Vice President of BSI, and Aiman Ali, Global Head of Sustainability, traveled to Taiwan to present the certification in person, reflecting BSI’s high regard for HOYA BIT.

By integrating carbon governance, information transparency, and third-party auditing into its core operations, HOYA BIT has established a reliable framework for the digital asset industry.

BSI is the world’s first national standards body, and its certifications are recognized by global tech leaders, including Microsoft and Google as the benchmark for digital governance compliance.

ISO 14068-1 requires companies to disclose full life-cycle carbon emissions, establish a reduction pathway, and undergo third-party audits. Led by Founder Zoe Peng, HOYA BIT adopted the SBTi methodology and Gold Standard carbon offset projects, while prioritizing support for renewable energy initiatives that deliver measurable progress toward the SDGs.

“The digital asset industry can respond to market expectations for governance, accountability and transparency in an internationally recognized and verifiable way,” said Zoe Peng. “The key to industry maturity is not just functional innovation — it is consistently demonstrating, through verifiable actions, that a platform can be trusted.”

HOYA BIT was also invited to participate in BSI’s 125th anniversary celebration — signaling that Taiwan’s digital asset industry has joined the global dialogue on sustainable governance. Moving forward, HOYA BIT will continue to improve carbon disclosure and provide users with a range of ways to participate in carbon reduction efforts, making sustainability a shared, actionable commitment.

PANAMA CITY, Fla., April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In today’s volatile and unpredictable crypto market, “where to trade” may no longer be the primary concern for investors. Instead, “where assets are truly safe” has become the ultimate deciding factor in capital allocation. According to DefiLlama data, HTX recorded over $54 million in net inflows in a single day at the end of March, ranking first among global exchanges in daily inflows. The market is making its choice with real capital: in a highly uncertain crypto cycle, funds are flowing back to platforms that are “safer, more transparent, and more sustainable.”

As various platforms compete for liquidity, how has HTX emerged as a “safe haven” for global investors? The answer may lie in its underlying security framework, which has been in operation for 13 years, and its unwavering pursuit of “zero risk incidents” for user assets.

From Yield to Trust: Reconstructing the Underlying Logic of Earn Products

From a user perspective, “Earn” is often understood as a low-risk financial management tool: deposit assets and obtain returns. However, from the platform’s perspective, this is essentially a complex exercise of capital management and risk control. The core of HTX Earn products is not a single revenue model, but a comprehensive, layered risk management system:

• Simple Earn: Offers flexible and fixed products, supporting subscription and redemption at any time or over fixed terms. These products offer an APY of up to 300%, making them a popular choice for beginners and conservative investors. Among them, flagship stablecoin products offer Flexible Earn options for popular assets such as USDT, USDC, USDD, USDE, USD1, and U, with APYs of up to 15%, outpacing  those of industry peers. VIP Flexible products are tailored for HTX SVIP users at Prime Level 5 and above, offering APYs of up to 9%, reflecting the platform’s commitment to diverse user needs.
• Structured Products (Dual Investment/Shark Fin): These are yield enhancement tools specifically designed for advanced traders seeking to capitalize on market volatility. They are suitable for capturing gains during market fluctuations, with APYs reaching up to 380%.
• On-chain Earn: Staking and ETH 2.0 products are designed specifically for on-chain participants, covering a variety of mainstream digital assets with seamless operations and APYs of up to 15%.

The vision of HTX Earn is to “fuel the steady growth of every digital asset.”At present, HTX Earn covers 300+ assets and 390+ products, serving nearly 600,000 users. Its extensive product matrix meets the needs of users with different risk preferences, and the adoption rate  continues to grow. But the truly critical factor is not the scale, but rather—how this capital is managed safely.

Merkle Tree Proof of Reserves (PoR): Making Transparency the First Line of Defense for User Asset Security

A sense of security does not come from empty promises, but from the clear verifiability of every asset. HTX publishes regular public disclosures of its Merkle Tree–based Proof of Reserves (PoR), which have continued uninterrupted for 42 months to date.

The latest April Proof of Reserves report shows that HTX has maintained asset reserve ratios at or above 100% across all assets. Among them, the BTC reserve ratio is 101%, the ETH reserve ratio is 100%, and the TRX reserve ratio reaches 108%. This means every user asset deposited on the platform is backed by more than 100% in real reserves, eliminating any possibility of fund misappropriation.

Notably, a key highlight of this disclosure is the upgrade to the USDs display, offering a more “user-friendly” approach to asset presentation. By displaying all USD-pegged stablecoins (including USDT and USDC) in a unified view of USDs, HTX has further enhanced the clarity and readability of the asset structure. This persistent commitment to transparency is a core driver behind HTX attracting over $54 million in net inflows within 24 hours.

13 Years of Stable Operations: A Three-Layer Risk Control Framework

If the Merkle Tree Proof of Reserves (PoR) serves as the externally visible “ledger”, the risk control system embedded within HTX Earn functions as an “armored shield” safeguarding asset security.

1. Professional Risk Control and Asset Segregation: HTX Earn adopts an institutional-grade security architecture. Through asset segregation and an intelligent tiered risk control system, user assets are strictly segregated from platform operational funds.
2. Ongoing Enhanced Security Infrastructure: Since November 2023, HTX has further strengthened its compliance and security standards, maintaining over 30 consecutive months of zero security incidents. Such long-term, high-intensity stable operations are regarded as an industry benchmark.
3. Dual Drivers of Technology and Compliance: Relying on the platform’s advantage of 13 years of stable operation, HTX has built a comprehensive service system featuring a professional investment research team, 24/7 customer support, zero trading fees, and hourly interest calculation, delivering comprehensive protection for user asset security.

Conclusion: Security is Not a Cost, but a Growth Engine

The flow of capital is the most intuitive vote of market confidence. HTX’s top position in DefiLlama net inflows is driven not only by its diverse product offerings and competitive yields, but also by market recognition of its 13year track record in security.

At the current stage, competition among crypto platforms is returning to fundamentals: those that can manage risk more stably will be better positioned to attract long-term capital. With 13 years of operational experience, HTX has set out a clear path forward:

• Making trust verifiable with Merkle Tree Proof of Reserves (PoR)
• Using product matrices to structure returns and risks
• Transforming security into brand equity via long-term track records

When “Earn” evolves from a product into an entry point for asset management, the risk control logic behind it truly becomes the platform’s deepest moat. In the marathon of crypto finance, running fast is certainly important, but running steadily is the only way to survive. HTX Earn will continue to strengthen its risk control framework through transparency, making security the strongest foundation for every investor.

GUANGZHOU, China, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — During the 139th Canton Fair, the Vehicles & Two Wheels category showcased some noticeable trends in how light‑mobility products are being conceived. Exhibitors across electric vehicles, two‑wheelers and new mobility formats presented innovations increasingly built around real‑world usage needs, more market-oriented systems and integrated energy ecosystems.

A prominent trend is the move toward scenario‑driven product development. Manufacturers are creating vehicles suited to local environments and real‑world operating conditions. For example, models designed for tropical rainforest environments featured reinforced drivetrains, specialized suspension systems and terrain‑specific tires to handle muddy roads, high humidity and heavy loads. Off‑road electric bikes, performance scooters and water‑based mobility products emphasized structural strength, advanced shock absorption and enhanced waterproofing. Meanwhile, compact electric vehicles for short‑distance family travel and urban commuting reflected precise positioning around daily usability, comfort and efficiency. Together, these developments signal a broader shift toward solving concrete, scenario‑specific mobility challenges.

Intelligence in light‑mobility products is advancing beyond basic connectivity toward active perception and real‑time decision‑making. Some exhibitors introduced vehicles using multi‑sensor fusion and AI‑assisted functions to deliver higher levels of autonomy. One new model, for example, combines multi‑line LiDAR, single‑line radar and depth cameras to support follow, remote‑control and autonomous‑driving modes with end‑to‑end route planning. It can run riderless at over 40 km/h, and complete sub‑90‑degree S‑curve turns. With a paired wristband, it can automatically follow the user. These capabilities, along with obstacle avoidance, self‑balancing and intelligent tracking, signal a new stage of assisted autonomy in two‑wheelers.

The Fair also underscored the ongoing convergence of mobility categories. Rideable carry‑on luggage, robot‑inspired electric scooters, and water‑based bicycles blurred traditional vehicle boundaries. Growing modularity and cross‑category integration indicate that future mobility design will focus more on movement capability than on conventional classifications.

Alongside electric vehicles, exhibitors also highlight fast-charging infrastructure, wireless charging solutions, and portable in-vehicle power supply devices for camping, emergency, and outdoor scenarios. This reflects a rising competitive emphasis on solutions that connect vehicles, energy systems and operating environments.

SINGAPORE, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As consumers in Southeast Asia face a “triple-hit” of rising fuel costs, inflation, and economic volatility, leaders from some of the region’s major financial and technology companies highlight fintech’s and government’s role to enable economic resilience in a region navigating global shocks.

Talking about the situation in the Philippines, Martha Sazon, President and CEO of Mynt, the parent company of the country’s biggest finance app GCash, shared how the platform has strengthened its role as a primary distribution channel for government relief—taking a page from its playbook on how it helped keep the local economy running and aid flowing when mobility was restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We have been helping in the distribution of government aid, especially fuel subsidies to public transport drivers and to encourage more mobility,” Sazon said.

In partnership with transport officials from the government, GCash facilitates the digital disbursement fuel subsidies to thousands of drivers and operators.

This effort is complemented by direct consumer incentives, such as a 50% fare discount for passengers of Metro Manila main rail lines, who can also pay via the GCash app.

These interventions have kept mobility accessible and domestic consumption steady. She also pointed to the role of GCash in supporting overseas Filipino workers (OFW). Until April 30, 2026, the company is waiving inbound and outbound transaction fees for Filipinos in the Middle East.

Moreover, aside from keeping fair loans accessible, the platform is fostering long-term resilience through livelihood opportunities by promoting digital micro-business tools like GCash Pera Outlet, and gig and employment platform GJobs, which provide alternative income streams for both local residents and repatriated workers. GCash has also ramped up financial literacy efforts to give customers practical knowledge on how to save more—while offering affordable and accessible investment and saving options.

Sazon shared these at the recent CNBC CONVERGE LIVE 2026 event at the Jewel in Singapore, joining other regional leaders: Hans Patuwo of GoTo Group and Huynh Thanh Phong of FWD Group. Patuwo noted Indonesia’s resilience but warned that looming subsidy cuts could trigger inflation and strain household consumption. Phong highlighted the importance of trust, stressing that insurers must help customers avoid emotional decisions that could leave them vulnerable during crises.
