Open House Group Launches Real Estate Sales via Cryptocurrency

Bringing Global Customers Closer to Finding, Purchasing, Managing, and Selling Japanese Real Estate Properties

TOKYO, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Open House Group Co., Ltd. (TSE Prime:3288, hereinafter “Open House Group)” is pleased to announce the commencement of cryptocurrency payment acceptance, enhancing convenience for global customers looking to purchase Japanese real estate. Initially supporting Bitcoin and Ethereum, the company will leverage its group strengths to progressively offer comprehensive, one-stop services encompassing property search, purchase, management, and sales consultation.

 Open House Global Website: https://global.openhouse-group.com/

The Open House Group boasts a diverse portfolio, primarily centered in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka, ranging from residential houses and condominiums to investment properties such as studio condominiums and office buildings. The company’s integrated business model of development, sales, and management allows for the provision of various solutions to clients. Additionally, Open House Group companies manage resort properties and U.S. real estate, providing clients with consultation on all aspects of property research, construction, sales, and future resale within in a one-stop service.

Since 2022, Open House Group has been exploring the application of cryptocurrencies and blockchain in business operations, including sponsoring a research group on Bitcoin’s Lightning Network. Yokiko Nishimura, who is in charge of this initiative, has been at the forefront of establishing industry associations for domestic financial institutions and cryptocurrency exchanges since 2015, pursuing the potential of cryptocurrencies and blockchain in finance and payments.

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, surpassed $19 trillion in transaction volume within its network in 2024, significantly exceeding the $8.7 trillion recorded in 2023. Following the SEC’s approval of the first Bitcoin ETF in 2024, institutional investors, who previously found direct ownership challenging, increased their investments. In light of news such as the regular report from the U.S. Treasury treating Bitcoin as having characteristics similar to digital gold, and considering recent policies announced by the United States, Bitcoin’s price has reached a new all-time high.

Open House Group views these cryptocurrency price fluctuations not as speculative movements, but as opportunities for practical application. The company is particularly focused on harnessing the strengths of cryptocurrencies in cross-border transactions and micropayments to offer enhanced financial services. The company is also exploring the implementation of blockchain-based services utilizing smart contracts. As an initial step, Bitcoin and Ethereum payment options are being introduced starting today.

*Please note: Customers are advised to comply with the laws, tax regulations, and other applicable legal frameworks of their country of residence when using Open House Group’s services. Customers are responsible for fulfilling their obligations regarding national systems and tax declarations.

*At the service launch, sales will be limited to income-producing properties. Open House Group will gradually expand to other property types based on customer demand.

*Legal contracts and important matter explanations for real estate purchases will be provided in Japanese.

BlackDuckRWA Takes Flight with Token Launch – Bridging Traditional Finance and Web3

DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BlackDuckRWA proudly announces the successful launch of its BD crypto token, a groundbreaking digital asset designed to seamlessly integrate traditional finance with the rapidly evolving Web3 ecosystem. Established in 2019, the company’s pioneering model empowers investors to qualify for rewards generated from trading within the $7.5 trillion foreign exchange (Forex) market, offering unparalleled access to structured financial products on-chain.

 

 

Following a fair launch on the Solana network on January 24, BD exceeded expectations, attracting 2,000 wallet holders in just five minutes and reaching a £3 million market cap within days. With a robust six-month roadmap and a strong emphasis on regulatory compliance, BlackDuckRWA is now preparing for major exchange listings in the coming months to expand its global reach.

Revolutionizing DeFi with Forex Rebates and Staking Rewards

BlackDuckRWA is transforming decentralized finance by introducing on-chain Forex structured products, providing investors with diverse risk-adjusted opportunities.

With the launch of BD, BlackDuckRWA’s innovative model extends benefits to token holders through Forex rebates, which are earned from high-frequency trading activity. Investors can lock their BD tokens into the staking platform to qualify for reward distributions based on their holdings and staking duration. This initiative is scheduled to go live in month three of the six-month roadmap.

By linking the BD token’s value to Forex trading volume and rebates, BlackDuckRWA ensures a sustainable incentive for ownership and participation. Additionally, the platform will foster an engaged community, empowering members to propose new features and participate in exclusive NFT drops that reward early adopters and active contributors.

Official Statement from BlackDuckRWA:

VANTAGE FOUNDATION PARTNERS WITH SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGES PHILIPPINES TO EMPOWER VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

MANILA, Philippines, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Vantage Foundation proudly announces its partnership with SOS Children’s Villages Philippines, a NGO committed to providing safe, family-based care for children who have lost parental support or are at risk of being separated from their families.

VANTAGE FOUNDATION PARTNERS WITH SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGES PHILIPPINES TO EMPOWER VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
VANTAGE FOUNDATION PARTNERS WITH SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGES PHILIPPINES TO EMPOWER VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

Founded in 1967, the organisation operates a comprehensive network of programs designed to care for vulnerable children and strengthen at-risk families. At the heart of their work is the family-based care model, where children who are orphaned or whose parents are unable to care for them are placed in SOS Villages.

These villages consist of small family homes, each managed by an SOS mother who provides the children with the attention, love, and care of a real family. The children grow up in these homes alongside their biological siblings (if any) and other children, with the continuous support of caregivers who serve as role models and provide emotional, educational, and psychological guidance.

SOS Children’s Villages offers continuous, holistic care for children from a young age, until they complete their education or training and transition into adulthood. Through programs that provide educational support, vocational training, scholarships and career counseling, they empower youths and equip them with the tools they need to break the cycle of poverty, achieve their dreams, and become future leaders and contributors to society.

In January, Vantage Foundation visited a SOS village in Manila to witness firsthand the impactful work being done to support vulnerable children and youth. Reflecting on the experience, Steven Xie, the Executive Director of Vantage Foundation stated, “Seeing the incredible work being done at SOS reaffirmed our commitment to supporting initiatives that provide not just care, but the opportunities for young people to build brighter futures.”

Ivy Evangelista, Philanthropy and Partnership Manager at SOS Children’s Villages Philippines, shared “Our partnerships are vital in helping us extend our reach and impact. By working together with organizations like Vantage Foundation, we can provide children and young people with the support they need to build a better future and break the cycle of poverty.”

SHEIN Conducted Over Two Million Product Safety Tests in 2024, Reinforces Commitment to Product Safety and Sustainability

SINGAPORE, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SHEIN today announced that it conducted over two million product safety tests in 2024, reinforcing its ongoing commitment to ensuring high standards in product quality and consumer safety. The tests were conducted in collaboration with leading third-party testing agencies such as Intertek, SGS, Bureau Veritas (BV), and TÜV, as well as at a CNAS-accredited laboratory.

In 2025, SHEIN plans to invest more than US$15 million to further strengthen its product safety testing and compliance protocols.

A Continuous Multi-Faceted Product Safety System

SHEIN has built and implemented a multi-faceted product safety protocol to ensure product compliance with applicable laws and regulations, as well as to SHEIN’s own standards of product safety. The system, which spans before, during, and after the sale process, is focused on overseeing product safety and ensuring that products meet compliance requirements: 

1. Standards and Policies: SHEIN vendors are required to comply with the applicable product safety laws and regulations in the countries we operate in, as well as the controls and standards that SHEIN has put in place, such as SHEIN’s Restricted Substances List (RSL), and SHEIN’s codes of conduct for vendors.

2. Documentation and Certification Review: Vendors are required to submit documentation for products from categories such as electronics, children’s toys, children’s products, baby products, cosmetics, medical devices, light industry products, personal protective equipment (PPE), and textiles with specific regulatory requirements for SHEIN’s system checks and manual reviews. Simultaneously, SHEIN is dedicated to providing comprehensive education and training for vendors, in order to continually improve their understanding of product compliance requirements.

3. Monitoring and Testing: Product safety tests, including chemical tests, are carried out throughout the sales cycle, in collaboration with leading third-party testing agencies such as Intertek, SGS, Bureau Veritas (BV), and TÜV, as well as at a CNAS-accredited laboratory. In 2024, SHEIN performed more than two million tests, including chemical tests, with third-party these agencies, as well as a CNAS-accredited laboratory.

4. Dynamic Evaluations: SHEIN conducts dynamic evaluations of vendors based on multi-dimensional aspects such as the product testing pass rate and negative feedback rate. Once a vendor’s performance is assessed to be non-compliant or in violation of our requirements, SHEIN will take measures against the vendor such as removing the product listing, vendor point deductions, putting in place re-order restrictions, or even termination of the partnership, depending on the severity of the case. Upon learning of any claim against a product, SHEIN immediately removes the product as a precautionary measure while we conduct an investigation.

Over the last year, the company has terminated its engagement with more than 260 sellers on its marketplace who did not meet compliance requirements. 

“Ensuring that our customers can shop with peace of mind is paramount at SHEIN,” said Leonard Lin, President of EMEA and Global Head of Public Affairs for SHEIN. “From design to delivery, we all work to protect our customers at every step of the process. We have continued to expand our rigorous testing efforts, working with some of the world’s top global testing agencies, to ensure that our products meet the highest standards and we continue to invest in enhancing our approach.”

Advancing Corporate Responsibility Initiatives

As part of its broader commitment to corporate responsibility, SHEIN has also recently announced several key initiatives:

1. Appointment of Mustan Lalani as Head of Global Sustainability

SHEIN has appointed Mustan Lalani as its Head of Global Sustainability, further strengthening its commitment to driving responsible business practices across its supply chain. Mustan will lead SHEIN’s efforts to help address the challenges that face the entire industry through innovation and technology, as part of our evoluSHEIN roadmap, SHEIN’s comprehensive strategy for addressing social and environmental issues.

2. Breakthrough in Polyester Recycling with Donghua University

SHEIN earlier announced the development of an innovative polyester recycling process that accepts a wider range of feedstock materials, including both pre- and post-consumer textile waste and PET bottles. This technology also improves the cost efficiency of recycled polyester for SHEIN compared to the recycled polyester options currently used in its products. The technology, developed in partnership with Donghua University, chemically breaks down, refines and reconstitutes polyester at the polymer level, allowing it to be recycled repeatedly without compromising the material properties of the resulting polyester fibres. SHEIN is working with selected fibre manufacturers to scale up production, with the first facility set to begin large-scale operations in June 2025, targeting an annual production output of 3,000 metric tons of recycled polyester fibres.

3. Establishment of the SHEIN Foundation & €5M Commitment to Africa Collect Textiles (ACT)

SHEIN has also recently announced the launch of the SHEIN Foundation, alongside a commitment of €5 million (US$5.30 million) to the Africa Collect Textiles (ACT) Foundation, the charitable arm of ACT. The SHEIN Foundation is a non-profit organization that aims to foster more inclusive and sustainable communities in places where SHEIN operates and will be the philanthropic arm of the SHEIN Group. ACT is a social enterprise that has developed a used textiles collection and recycling pilot program in Kenya.

Through these initiatives, SHEIN continues to invest in responsible business practices, product innovation, and industry-leading sustainability efforts to make fashion accessible, safe, and environmentally conscious for its global community.

 “At SHEIN we are prioritising the decarbonization of our supply chain, but also working on the adoption and promotion of new technologies and processes that have a lower environmental impact and enhance circularity. Mustan brings a wealth of experience in these areas from his previous roles, and will significantly strengthen our bench as we continue our journey to become a more sustainable and responsible business. He will lead our efforts to help solve industry-wide challenges, through innovation and technology, as part of our evoluSHEIN roadmap, SHEIN’s comprehensive strategy for addressing social and environmental challenges,” said Leonard Lin, President of EMEA and Global Head of Public Affairs for SHEIN.
