AAX Crypto Exchange Announces Sponsorship of Blockchain Economy Istanbul Summit

VICTORIA, SEYCHELLES – Media OutReach – 4 August 2022 – AAX, a crypto exchange for everyone, is delighted to announce its participation as a Featured Sponsor at the Blockchain Economy Istanbul Summit 2022, Eurasia’s largest blockchain event of the year and a key meeting place for the world’s top crypto companies and entrepreneurs. AAX marked its sponsorship of the event with a prominent presence at Istanbul Airport, drawing attention to the event for the thousands of people who will enter the country over the next couple of days.

Istanbul is a fitting host for the fourth annual edition of Blockchain Economy Summit. Modern Turkey is among the societies that are the most receptive to crypto. A recent study by Forrester commissioned by AAX found that 16% of Turkey’s population – approximately 13.6 million people – own Bitcoin. It means that Turkey is one of the most significant regions in the world that are driving crypto adoption forward.

Headline speakers at this year’s edition of the summit include Alex Bornyakov, the Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, the entrepreneur Carl Runefelt, MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor and many more. Also joining the speaker’s list are a number of representatives from AAX, including its VP of global marketing aka Head of Research & Strategy, Ben Caselin, Head of Impact Lab Timothy Wong, and Country Director for Turkey Anadolu Aydınlı. Ben Caselin, VP of global marketing and Head of Research & Strategy at AAX said:

“Our presence at the Istanbul summit also marks our expansion into Turkiye as one of our target markets. In Turkiye there is an understanding of Bitcoin and digital assets beyond trading and investing alone. Digital assets including stablecoins are a necessity here and AAX is ready to serve this market beyond the confines of its urban centers to bring the benefits of digital assets to everyone.”

AAX welcomes Anadolu Aydınlı as the Country Director for Turkey

Istanbul is an excellent gathering point for the region’s growing crypto community. To be part of that, AAX has appointed Anadolu Aydınlı as its Country Director in Turkey, where he will lead the local team in expanding AAX services in the region. As a Turkish-American lawyer with a LLM in Cryptocurrency Arbitration, he previously held roles in other major crypto exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and Glassnode/Accointing. Also, he is a board and advisory member of multiple fintech projects, as well as a columnist for Karar.

“Everyone has the goal of being as established as they can be in a crucial market like Turkey, but we are taking a step further by expressly focusing on local partnerships, sustainability, and philanthropy. We have one of the most crypto-native teams in Turkey right now, with deep exchange and product knowledge to help hyper-accelerate our growth in this market we call home. We are ready to not only continue the journey of digital asset adoption in Turkey but help our users reach their maximum potential via our product,” said Anadolu Aydınlı, Country Director of Turkey at AAX.

AAX has a growing community presence in Turkey.

Just prior to the summit, AAX hosted a successful meetup event in Istanbul on July 26 that saw the local crypto community come together for a panel discussion involving speakers such as Eren Ozkan, Principal & Vice President at Mastercard, Sima Baktas, Founder at CryptoFemale Turkey and Max Lurya, CEO at EnoughTea – with AAX’s Caselin moderating the discussion.

Victory Securities believes that there are opportunities for US stocks to open positions and hold onto shares in the third quarter

HONG KONG SAR Media OutReach – 4 August 2022 – Dr. Li Ning, Chief Economist of Victory Securities, shared his view of US stock investment strategy in the third quarter.

Dr. Li Ning believes that the third quarter is a period of uncertainty. While there is still a lot of controversy in technical analysis, it is certain that the long positions will eventually prevail. The worst scenario is an unstable bottom which will present great opportunities for long positions amid the coming bull market in the fourth quarter and next year.

The US Core Consumer Price Index (excluding energy and food) has fallen for 3 consecutive months. While the price of natural gas (the main energy source for domestic power generation) in the United States has fallen by more than 40% from its peak in just one month, and the price of wheat, a staple food, has also fallen rapidly to the level before the Russo-Ukrainian war. As the global supply chain begins to recover in the late stage of the epidemic and people return to the labor market, the inflation induced by the supply chain and the wage growth by labor shortage will also slow down. Dr. Li Ning remarked, “Retailers are heavily discounting to dump excess inventory, and upstream commodity prices such as copper, aluminum and steel are reaching a 1.5-year low. Based on the logic of inflation and increase in interest rate, the market hype is not enough to support further drop in the US stock market and bond market.”

In fact, natural gas is the main energy source for industrial electricity, air conditioning in summer and heating in winter in the United States. Thanks to the shale gas revolution, the production cost of natural gas is just about US$2. Most of the natural gas is consumed domestically because the volume to be converted into LNG for export is constrained by production capacity. Energy inflation in the United States is more affected by natural gas prices than oil prices. The price of wheat, a staple food in Europe and the United States, has quickly fallen below the price before the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian war. Although the Russo-Ukrainian war has not yet ended, it is no longer justifiable to base the trading strategy on the fact that Federal Reserve sharply raised interest rate by 75 basis points to counteract the hyperinflation of food prices that is inducing worldwide panic. Wheat price has fallen almost 40% from its March high of 1363. Dr. Li Ning added, “In addition, the price of aluminum, an important upstream material for automobiles, aircraft and building materials, has fallen for 16 consecutive months. The severity of the drop is beyond the explanation of energy costs and currency increments. With the true recovery of global infrastructure building in the future, I believe it can be the start of a bull market.

Dr. Li Ning also pointed out, “To determine whether the stocks are cheap or not, we need to consider the economic outlook, where we come to evaluate the popular assertion that economic depression is ahead. Judging from the health of the U.S. national financial system, household income growth, employment, overall economy, future economic growth potential and recovery expectations, the assertion of economic depression in the United States is highly unlikely to materialize.” When it comes to the real economic situation in the United States, he drew similarities between the past six months and the good old days of “war profiteering” during World War II — the dollar index at an all time high, large influx of funds, and severalfold increase (since last year) in profit from energy, food and high-tech products which accounted for the largest shares in exports. In fact, the long-term economic potential of the United States is completely intact. If taking into consideration epidemic control, employment and changes in household income, consumer spending in the future will be stronger than in most countries, including China. All factors considered, Victory Securities concluded that the current valuation of U.S. stocks is low; interest rate has peaked; and the possibility of economy depression is very low.

Dr. Li Ning believes, “In the third quarter, the U.S. stock investment strategy is to open positions and hold onto shares. Because the market is still in the late stage of the interest rate hike cycle; liquidity is still lacking; and the market needs time to recover, I expect there will be no sharp increase. However, as mentioned above, the decline in the U.S. stock market is about to come to an end and we are expecting a bull market. It is not recommended to perform shorting or reduce holdings of existing stocks at current price. Instead, you can increase your position in moderation and hold onto shares. He expects that when the interest rate hike cycle is over, the growth factors will make a comeback.

In his welcome speech, Mr. Eric Sun, Chairman of the Hong Kong Exporters’ Association, shared “The GBA market is full of business opportunities, while it is also full of competition. As its business model is different from that of Hong Kong’s, we have to fully understand the GBA market. As the highlighted event of the ‘Hong Kong Smart Design, Sparkle in Greater Bay Area 2022’ , the summit aims to assist Hong Kong’s design industry professionals to become familiar with the region and allows the expansion of businesses into the GBA market especially in the Mainland. The project will also enhance the exposure of local design products and brands in GBA, utilizing a variety of promotional events, including business exhibitions, online and offline e-commerce platform activities and more. Today, I hope we can take this chance to bring new inspiration to our partners aspiring to tap into in the GBA market and energize borderless opportunities.”

Mr. Billy Wong, Deputy Director of Research of Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), as the host of the session guided the discussion on product design, brand and marketing showcases, opportunities in the GBA, IP protection, design, taxation, e-commerce, market trend and business development, providing valuable practical information and experience for companies and individuals interested in venturing into the GBA market. The group also answered several insightful questions from the online audiences.

The “Hong Kong Smart Design, Sparkle in GBA 2022” (“the Project”) aims to support the venture of Hong Kong’s original designs, brands and services into the GBA market, create opportunities for local exporters, and facilitate the use of design talent, experience and professional knowledge in the GBA market. Through a series of B2B and B2C activities such as trade fairs, business matching sessions with Mainland buyers, product showcases and pop-up stores, the Project brings together SMEs in Hong Kong to synergize on product marketing and introduce high quality Hong Kong designs to the GBA.
