– Real Jongga Kimchi differentiation drives strong Gen Z response at Costco and Loblaws 
– FreshCo expansion to reach 150 stores nationwide in Canada in the second half of the year

SEOUL, South Korea, April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kimchi Ramyun, launched by Daesang’s leading Korean food brand Ofood, has surpassed 1 million units in cumulative sales in Canada, carving out a niche market by leveraging Korea’s heritage as the origin of Kimchi.

Since its launch in the Canadian market in October last year, ‘Real Kimchi Ramyun Noodle Soup’ has quickly gained traction, receiving strong positive responses from local consumers. Unlike conventional ramyun products that rely on dried flakes, Ofood Kimchi Ramyun uses real Kimchi from Korea’s No.1* Kimchi brand Jongga, delivering the authentic taste of traditional Korean Kimchi stew. This differentiated approach has contributed to its rapid market growth.

Ofood Kimchi Ramyun is available in two varieties: ‘Real Kimchi Ramyun Noodle Soup’, featuring a spicy soup base, and ‘Real Fiery Kimchi Stir-fried Ramyun’, made with gochujang. Both products use fresh Kimchi instead of dried flakes, offering a crisp texture and deep fermented flavor. While balancing sourness and aroma, the products retain the signature spiciness of Korean ramyun, making them appealing to a wide range of consumers.

Active marketing efforts targeting local Gen Z consumers also contributed to the strong performance. Ofood enhanced brand awareness through outdoor advertising in major Canadian cities and digital campaigns on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. In addition, large-scale sampling events held around major universities, including the University of Toronto, helped expand engagement with younger consumers familiar with Korean culture and bold flavors, leading to actual purchases.

Following strong sales performance, distribution expansion is also accelerating. In addition to existing retail channels such as Costco and Loblaws, Ofood Kimchi Ramyun is now available at FreshCo, where it is currently sold in approximately 70 stores across Canada, with plans to expand distribution to more than 150 locations nationwide in the second half of the year.

Seungin Jung, Head of Global Discovery BO at Daesang, said, “Ofood Kimchi Ramyun is rapidly gaining traction in the Canadian market as a product that allows consumers to enjoy the authentic taste of Korean Kimchi. We will continue to strengthen the presence of K-food in North America through marketing tailored to local consumer lifestyles and expanded distribution channels.”

Meanwhile, Ofood Kimchi Ramyun is also available through major online and offline channels in the United States, including Costco, Kroger, and Amazon, as Daesang continues to expand its global brand activities across the North American market.

Hongkong Land and Gammon Construction bring CarbonCure Low‑Carbon Concrete to Hong Kong for the first time

By
Advertorial Desk
-

  • Hongkong Land and Gammon Construction introduce CarbonCure’s CO₂ mineralisation technology in Tomorrow’s CENTRAL project, a first for Hong Kong.
  • Injecting captured CO₂ into concrete reduces cement use by up to 7%.
  • Supporting Hongkong Land’s goal of cutting Scope 3 carbon intensity 22% by 2030, positioning Tomorrow’s CENTRAL as a sustainability leader.
  • Buildings Department approval of the CarbonCure concrete mix sets the stage for wider industry adoption.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 April 2026 – Hongkong Land and Gammon Construction have partnered to introduce CarbonCure to Hong Kong. Through this strategic collaboration, the companies are deploying the patented CO₂ mineralisation technology in Tomorrow’s CENTRAL project, marking its first use in Hong Kong. This alliance pioneers low-carbon building materials in the city and accelerates the wider industry’s transition.

(From left to right) Mr. Eddie Tse, Group Sustainability Manager, Gammon Construction; Ms. Ka Yan Chu, Assistant Technical Manager, Concrete Technology Services, Gammon Construction; Ms. Grace Lam, Senior Sustainability Manager, Hongko

Reducing cement‑related emissions without compromising performance

Embodied carbon accounted for 70% of Hongkong Land’s total carbon emissions in 2025, with industry research indicating that more than 80% of the embodied carbon in a typical new commercial building is associated with concrete, brick and steel. Cement production generates about 7% of global CO₂ emissions, more than three times that of civil aviation, making it a critical decarbonisation priority.
CarbonCure offers one of the most effective solutions, reducing cement content by 4–7% without compromising concrete quality or performance. The new technology injects captured CO₂ into fresh concrete during mixing, where it undergoes a chemical reaction to form a mineral, permanently trapping carbon within the material. When combined with a low-carbon concrete mix containing approximately 40% Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBS), a 34% carbon emissions reduction is achieved compared to traditional non-green concrete.

Implementing this innovative technology supports Hongkong Land’s target of achieving a 22% reduction in Scope 3 carbon intensity by 2030. It also aligns with Tomorrow’s CENTRAL project’s sustainability objectives, including using 100% low carbon concrete, 100% green rebar, and 100% sustainable timber during construction, and to divert 75% of construction waste.

Tomorrow’s CENTRAL: a project with sustainability at its core

Tomorrow’s CENTRAL is Hongkong Land’s bold three-year plan to transform the LANDMARK retail portfolio. Announced in June 2024, the project is ambitious in its scope, encompassing extensive façade enhancements, retail renovations and office lift-lobby relocations From inception, sustainability has been the project’s guiding principle.
The CarbonCure concrete mix technology was deployed by Hongkong Land and Gammon in November 2025 after it was approved by the Buildings Department in September 2025 following a rigorous 18-month testing and preparation period.

Michael T. Smith, Group Chief Executive of Hongkong Land, said: “Sustainability is a key business priority for Hongkong Land. Using lower carbon concrete on Tomorrow’s CENTRAL helps to advance the goals of our Sustainability Framework 2030. As the first developer to apply this technology in Hong Kong’s premium commercial sector, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to innovation and encourage wider industry uptake.”

Eddie Tse, Group Sustainability Manager, Gammon Construction, said: “We are delighted to partner with Hongkong Land on Hong Kong’s first application of CarbonCure concrete. Their strong commitment to sustainability and openness to pioneering solutions have been instrumental in making this milestone possible. By permanently mineralising carbon within building materials and reducing cement use, lower carbon concrete represents a meaningful step forward in embodied‑carbon reduction. With this successful deployment, we look forward to extending similar innovations across the industry and collaborating with more clients to drive low‑carbon construction in Hong Kong.”

Circulating Supply of Enterprise Stablecoin USDGO Surpasses US$100 Million

By

-
  • USDGO hits US$100M circulating supply just two months after its launch, validating OSL Group’s proven ability to commercialize compliant stablecoins.
  • Goldman Sachs’ stablecoin reserve fund STBXX and BlackRock’s BUIDL fund serve as reserve assets for USDGO.
  • The “GO Alliance” rebrands and scales into the “Stable Alliance”, serving a broader range of enterprises and ecosystems within the stablecoin space.

HONG KONG, April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OSL Group (HKEX:863) (OSL), a global stablecoin payment and trading platform, today announced that the circulating supply of its compliant enterprise stablecoin USDGO has surpassed US$100 million, currently reaching US$130 million. This growth is accompanied by the addition of a Goldman Sachs-managed fund to its reserve assets. The achievement marks a pivotal moment in OSL’s compliant stablecoin strategy and underscores its prowess in operation, distribution, and ecosystem cultivation.

USDGO is a federally regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar. Under the GENIUS Act regulatory framework, it is backed 1:1 by high-quality liquid assets, including cash and short-term US Treasuries, and is subject to rigorous third-party audits. The stablecoin is issued by Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., with OSL serving as the brand operator and distributor.

Since its official launch on February 10, 2026, with an initial US$50 million in liquidity, USDGO saw its circulation crossed US$68 million within the first month and broke the US$100 million barrier just two months post-launch.

The reserve backing for USDGO has also diversified. In addition to high-quality liquidity held via BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), USDGO reserves now include the Goldman Sachs Stablecoin Reserves Fund (STBXX).

Kevin Cui, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of OSL Group, said:

“The fact that USDGO’s circulation has surpassed US$100 million, coupled with the inclusion of a Goldman Sachs-managed fund to bolster our reserve assets, serves as a strong market endorsement of OSL Group’s operational capabilities in the stablecoin space. Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in the ecosystem of compliant stablecoin payments and trading, further enhancing OSL’s strength in scaling commercial stablecoin solutions.”

Meanwhile, OSL has officially announced the upgrade of its previously launched GO Alliance into the Stable Alliance, a global industry consortium. As an inclusive coalition of diverse commercial institutions, the Stable Alliance is committed to fortifying the global stablecoin ecosystem. It aims to collaborate with industry leaders to unlock the value of compliant stablecoins, bridging on-chain liquidity with the real-world economy.

Since the launch of USDGO, OSL has continuously expanded its footprint across market access, compliant usage, functional support, while driving adoption through holder incentive programs. OSL has successfully built a comprehensive infrastructure ecosystem, integrating Banxa for compliant fiat-to-stablecoin on/off-ramps, OSL BizPay for one-stop cross-border settlements, and OSL StableHub as a global liquidity center. This comprehensive suite of solutions provides the market with deep liquidity and high efficiency, positioning USDGO as the essential “financial lifeblood” fueling the real-world economy.

Case study 1: optimizing cross-border payments and exotic currency settlement

In the cross-border payment sector, a global payment service provider has pioneered the integration of local African currency collections with USDGO via OSL BizPay and its partner network. This solution addresses traditional pain points—such as high FX risk, cross-timezone settlement gaps, and three-to-five day processing delays—by providing a definitive, real-time alternative. Leveraging USDGO’s instant clearing capabilities and fiat gateways, the firm can now process global remittances in exotic currencies instantly, significantly enhancing security and transparency for multinational capital flows.

Case study 2: enhancing institutional treasury and idle cash management

USDGO’s ecosystem has also drawn significant interest from asset managers. One institution successfully utilized USDGO to solve challenges surrounding idle positions and low capital efficiency for digital assets and USD balances. By tapping into OSL’s institutional-grade liquidity pools and regulated banking channels, the firm achieved zero-slippage conversions between digital assets and fiat. Operating under a strict federal regulatory and monthly audit framework, the institution not only maintained high liquidity but also boosted the efficiency and potential yield of its idle cash by three to five times, reaching an optimal asset allocation.

Through OSL’s compliant ecosystem and partner incentive programs, USDGO’s long-term vision is to help global enterprises move beyond fragmented payment systems. We aim to enable instant, compliant, and efficient cross-border capital flows, unlocking trapped corporate liquidity to maximize capital efficiency, optimize treasury management, and improve overall ROI.

About OSL Group

OSL Group (HKEX: 863) is a global stablecoin payment and trading platform that strives to provide compliant and efficient digital financial infrastructure services globally, empowering enterprises, financial institutions and individuals to seamlessly exchange, pay, trade, and settle between fiat and digital currencies.

MEXC Reports 246% TradFi Volume Surge and 399 New Listings in Q1 2026

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, the world leader in 0‑fee digital asset trading, has published its Q1 2026 Ecosystem & Growth Report. The first three months of the year saw heavy macro volatility, and traders responded by moving into hedging instruments and alternative assets. MEXC answered with a record quarter of expansion across TradFi Futures (volume up over 246%), new listings (399 tokens), and AI feature success (1.04 million cumulative users).

MEXC Reports 246% TradFi Volume Surge and 399 New Listings in Q1 2026
MEXC Reports 246% TradFi Volume Surge and 399 New Listings in Q1 2026

The new listings program delivered strong results across the quarter. The top 10 tokens by spot trading volume posted an average peak gain of 2,534%.

SOL-based projects dominated the upper end of the gains table, but the volume leaderboard told a different story. AI-related tokens claimed four of the top ten spots there, spanning computing infrastructure, trading tools, and agent protocols. RWA and exchange tokens also broke through in Q1, pointing to fresh demand narratives heading into Q2.

TradFi Futures was the quarter’s breakout vertical. Listed instruments grew from 71 in January to 115 in March, trading volume surged over 246% across the same period, and monthly active traders increased roughly 59%.

The momentum showed up in market share, too. MEXC ranked 2nd in Gold at 27% and 3rd in both Silver and Crude Oil at 15% each, competing directly against the largest platforms in the space. Precious metals and energy contracts led the volume rankings, but four stock futures and one index future also cracked the top 10, a sign that the TradFi user base is branching into equities as well.

MEXC and Ondo Finance continued to build out their tokenized stock offering with 105 new trading pairs on the spot market. The new listings gave users access to precious metals, defense and aerospace, AI and semiconductors, banking, healthcare, consumer staples, and diversified instruments, including indices, ETFs, and bonds.

MEXC added a Prediction Market beta to its product lineup in March, with zero trading and settlement fees, and latency 30 times faster than comparable platforms.

MEXC’s AI features averaged 138,274 daily active users during Q1. The MEXC-AI bot answered more than 5.1 million user queries, and the total number of AI users on the platform passed 1.04 million.

Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC, said, “In fast-moving markets, opportunity doesn’t wait. Traders need immediate access to the right instruments, in one place, at the exact moment it emerges. Our expansion into TradFi, combined with rapid listings and AI-powered tools, enables seamless movement across crypto, commodities, and equities without ever leaving the platform.”

The numbers carried over to the platform level. MEXC recorded net capital inflows of approximately $22.97 million in March, enough to rank among the top five exchanges on DeFiLlama.

Daily spot volume reached $1.999 billion, and open interest hit $7.564 billion, both consistent with the platform’s steady climb in market activity throughout Q1. The average leverage ratio sat at 1.91x. For context, that figure suggests that users are sizing positions carefully despite the volatile macro environment.

MEXC took home the “Fastest Growing Exchange” award at the TokenInsight Awards 2025 after both futures and spot volumes jumped over 130% year-over-year. The platform’s 0-fee model, active across more than 3,000 pairs, was a key driver. Over the course of the year, it saved 3.44 million users a total of 1.1 billion USDT in trading costs.

The exchange also kept up a full schedule of offline events during Q1, with VIP dinners at NBX 2026 in Poland, community meetups at Crypto Summit Moscow, and appearances across Asia and Latin America.

The MEXC Foundation also ran five CSR programs during the quarter, providing educational resources and direct community support in the Philippines, Australia, Korea, and Syria.
