Basecare Medical (02170.HK) Gems Culture Medium Receives First Approval from NMPA, Advancing the Localization of Assisted Reproductive Fluids

SUZHOU, China, Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, Suzhou Basecare Medical Co., Ltd. achieved a major breakthrough—its globally leading Gems culture medium (embryo handling solution VitBase) has officially received registration approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). This marks not only a milestone event in China’s assisted reproductive field but also signifies that domestically produced high-end culture media have officially entered the top international tier, completely breaking the monopoly of imported brands that has lasted for over 30 years.

Basecare Vitbase culture media get NMPA approval

VitBase belongs to the star product series GEMS developed by Basecare’s international brand BMX (formerly Genea Biomedx, a globally renowned IVF center in Sydney). This approval represents a historic leap, elevating Basecare Medical to become one of the very few leading companies in assisted reproductive fluids to simultaneously obtain four major authoritative certifications—CE, FDA, TGA, and NMPA—fully realizing a strategic layout from international acquisition to local transformation, and from R&D to commercialization.

For a long time, China’s embryo culture medium market has been highly monopolized by international manufacturers, creating significant uncertainty in the supply chain. The emergence of Basecare’s Gems culture medium has completely reshaped the industry landscape. This product incorporates over 30 years of gold-standard clinical practice data from the Sydney IVF Center. Through localized intelligent manufacturing and stringent quality control, its quality rivals top international standards while achieving unprecedented improvements in supply stability and accessibility. Currently, 11 products in the series have received EU CE certification, 8 have been approved by the U.S. FDA, and 11 comply with Australian TGA standards, covering the entire assisted reproductive process. This provides a reliable and trustworthy choice for Chinese embryologists and patients.

It is worth emphasizing that the Gems culture medium had previously gained widespread recognition in China through Cook Medical’s local registration and promotion, earning the reputation as the “gold standard for embryo culture.” Basecare’s newly approved VitBase not only represents the first major achievement in the localization of the full GEMS series of 11 products but also signifies the formal rooting of globally leading culture medium technology in China.

This breakthrough will bring three major transformative impacts to China’s assisted reproductive industry: first, completely eliminating import dependency and achieving independent and controllable supply chains; second, significantly reducing treatment costs, allowing more families to benefit from accessible reproductive medical services; and third, leading the upgrade of the entire industry chain, building a complete domestic ecosystem from equipment and consumables to culture media.

Basecare deep and wide pipeline

A representative of Basecare Medical stated: “We are not just launching a product—we are reshaping the new standard for embryo culture in China. The localization of Gems will greatly enhance the success rate of IVF, making the conception of every new life safer and more stable. In the future, Basecare will continue to lead the wave of domestic substitution and promote high-end reproductive medical products made in China to the world.”

Currently, national policies are strongly supporting the development of the assisted reproductive field. The approval of Basecare Medical’s Gems culture medium at this pivotal moment not only sets a new benchmark for domestic substitution but also demonstrates the increasingly strong competitiveness and influence of Chinese companies in this field globally. The market expects that this product will soon trigger a new wave of procurement and cooperation, leading the domestic reproductive medical industry into a phase of accelerated development.

Wall Street Bets on Ethereum: Why RWA.ltd Chose ERC-3643

——Interview with the Management Team of RWA.ltd

HONG KONG, Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In August 2025, Wall Street is undergoing a quiet yet profound transformation. When Ethereum surpassed 4,800 USD on August 23, marking a four-year high and more than 200% up from its April low, many began to realize that this surge was not just another cycle of crypto-market frenzy. Instead, it reflected the accelerating fulfillment of traditional financial giants’ strategic bets on blockchain. Institutions such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Apollo are migrating billions of dollars in real-world assets (RWA) onto the Ethereum network, gradually positioning it as the core infrastructure connecting traditional finance with the digital economy.

According to RWA.xyz, by the end of 2024 the total value locked (TVL) of RWAs on Ethereum had already surpassed USD 14.9 billion, accounting for 81% of the global market. By mid-2025, this share further rose to 83.6%. This institution-driven wave of tokenizing RWAs directly fueled Ethereum’s price appreciation and elevated its strategic position on Wall Street. Against this backdrop, the world’s first non-financial RWA trading platform, based in Hong Kong, announced that it will adopt the ERC-3643 protocol as the foundation for compliant asset issuance and circulation. This decision has attracted industry attention, prompting us to interview the management team of RWA.ltd.

Q: Why choose ERC-3643 instead of the well-known ERC-20?
A: ERC-20 is indeed the most classic token standard in the Ethereum ecosystem. Its simplicity and compatibility have made it the common language for stablecoins and DeFi protocols. USDT, USDC, and DAI are all based on ERC-20. However, ERC-20 was designed for open circulation, not compliance control. For RWAs, which are inherently subject to regulatory oversight, ERC-20 alone is far from sufficient.

ERC-3643 is an evolution built on ERC-20. It introduces mechanisms such as investor whitelists, KYC/AML verification, and transfer permission controls. For example, a token transfer must first pass through a compliance gateway to verify that both parties are qualified investors before the transaction is executed. This design of “embedding compliance into code” directly addresses the compliance risks that traditional financial institutions worry about most. For RWA.ltd, it was the natural choice.

Q: Could you help us compare ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-3643?
A: ERC-20 was the earliest fungible token standard, suitable for representing currencies, bonds, and other standardized rights. ERC-721 ushered in the NFT era, enabling unique assets to be authenticated on-chain, but its applications are better suited to art, collectibles, or event tickets rather than securitized assets.

ERC-3643 can be seen as a “compliance-enhanced ERC-20.” It retains ERC-20’s compatibility but adds conditional transfers, identity verification, and compliance review functions. For example, a bond token can specify that it may only be held by qualified investors, and if the holder loses that status, the system automatically prevents transfers. These mechanisms make ERC-3643 the ideal choice for compliant asset tokenization.

Q: How does RD Technology view ERC-3643?
A: RD Technology, as a compliance-focused stablecoin and asset digitalization infrastructure company rooted in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, shares a view that aligns closely with ours. They emphasize that “timely compliance” is the first principle of financial asset digitalization. Whether for stablecoins or RWAs, assets must always be ready for regulatory inspection while maintaining market liquidity.

In their perspective, ERC-3643 precisely meets this requirement. Its logic is to make compliance an automated process. For instance, a stablecoin transfer would automatically trigger an identity check, and if conditions are not met, the transaction would simply fail. RD Technology believes that mainstream compliant stablecoins and RWA products are likely to adopt ERC-3643 rather than remain with ERC-20. This judgment matches our own assessment.

Q: Why is Wall Street putting billions of dollars’ worth of RWAs on Ethereum? Do other blockchains have opportunities?
A: Ethereum has three major advantages. First, its ecosystem is the most mature, with the largest developer base and the strongest compatibility. Second, institutions have already used ERC-20 to complete their first wave of pilots—for example, BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, Franklin Templeton’s money market fund, and Apollo’s credit securitization fund all run on Ethereum. Third, Ethereum’s market share has reached a dominant position. By August 2025, it held 55% of the global RWA market—far ahead of other chains.

Of course, competition exists. Cosmos’ Noble chain and bank-operated private blockchains are making attempts, but they lack sufficient ecosystem support and cross-border liquidity. By contrast, Ethereum is not only a technical platform but also an institutional consensus.

Q: Have technological upgrades and regulatory policy changes also influenced RWA.ltd’s decision?
A: Very much so. Ethereum’s Pectra and Fusaka upgrades this year significantly improved throughput and smart contract security, reducing average transaction costs by 60% and shortening settlement time to mere seconds. This made institutional-grade transactions on Ethereum truly feasible.

On the regulatory side, the U.S. SEC launched its “RWA Compliance Acceleration Program,” allowing some institutions to issue tokenized products under a sandbox regime. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) in June released the “Tokenization of Virtual Assets Implementation Guidelines 2.0,” which clarified compliance frameworks for real estate and securitized assets. Particularly, Hong Kong’s “Digital Asset Development Policy Declaration 2.0,” published in June 2025, signaled that the city is moving from being a pilot field toward a stage of institutionalization and scale. These developments align seamlessly with ERC-3643’s built-in compliance modules.

Q: What specific plans does RWA.ltd have after adopting ERC-3643?
A: In the short term, we will focus on the tokenization of non-financial RWA assets—exchangeable physical assets and redeemable usage rights. In the medium to long term, we plan to explore emerging categories such as cultural tourism, real estate, carbon credits, and intellectual property. For example, the carbon credit market is expected to surpass USD 1 billion in 2025, and ERC-3643 can provide condition-based compliant issuance for such assets.

We will also actively collaborate with ecosystem partners in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, leveraging the Hainan QFLP channel to facilitate cross-border capital flows and data interactions. ERC-3643 enables us to build a globally applicable platform for compliant asset issuance.

At present, Hong Kong’s RWA.ltd non-financial RWA trading platform has completed both technical development and legal audits and is undergoing final internal testing. The platform will officially launch its public beta in early September 2025, and we welcome industry partners to join us in its development.

Q: Lastly, could you summarize your view on ERC-3643 in one sentence?
A: ERC-20 ignited DeFi, ERC-721 opened the door to NFTs, and ERC-3643 will become the compliance bridge for real-world assets on-chain. For RWA.ltd, choosing it is not merely a technological decision but a forward-looking judgment on the future financial order.

KGA in Additive Manufacturing.

From Explorer to Adopter and Trailblazer: Supporting All Stages of Transformation

ITAP 2025 is set against a backdrop of global trade uncertainty and economic fragmentation, which have intensified the drive across the Asia-Pacific manufacturers’ ecosystem to seek real-world progress. According the ITAP Intelligence 2025: Trends, Technologies & Transformation Across APAC — an industry-wide study commissioned by ITAP and conducted by IDC — 51% of manufacturers across Asia-Pacific remain in early-stage planning or piloting, especially in AI digitalisation, automation, and digital readiness. The rest (49%) are actively deploying and optimising solutions. This highlights a pressing need for practical roadmaps, scalable solutions and ecosystem support.

In response to the varying innovation readiness of manufacturers, ITAP 2025 adopts a targeted Explorer–Adopter–Trailblazer framework. This structured approach is designed to match content, strategic support, and deliver practical solution offerings to each stage of a manufacturer’s digital transformation journey, enabling more tangible and impactful outcomes.

“Transformation is no longer aspirational – it’s urgent,” said Ms Audrey Leong, Portfolio Director at Constellar. “ITAP 2025 is where decision-makers come to act. We’re offering real-world solutions, use cases, and partner networks that help manufacturers move faster and smarter.”

  • Explorers in early evaluation stages will find practical tools, pilot use cases, find peer-driven insights to guide initial steps to build their foundation.
  • Adopters scaling their efforts will benefit from integration roadmaps and technology showcase, designed to accelerate rollout across facilities.
  • Trailblazers at the forefront of industrial innovation already deploying Industry 4.0 and 5.0 solutions to extend their competitive advantage by engaging with next-generation solutions and strategic leadership content.

With the regional smart manufacturing market projected to reach USD 754.1 billion by 2030 at a 15.7% CAGR (Fortune Business Insights), and digital transformation advancing at over 31.2% (Grand View Research), ITAP 2025 aims to bridge the gap between innovation and implementation, serving as a catalyst for transformation and enabling progress at every level of manufacturing.
