KN Group and AlloyX Form Strategic Partnership, Launching World’s First On-Chain Tokenized Consumer Loan Assets


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 July 2025 – In July 2025, Hong Kong fintech company KN Group announced a significant strategic partnership with AlloyX, a prominent Hong Kong-based Web3 financial technology company. Leveraging AlloyX’s on-chain tokenization infrastructure technology, the two parties will jointly launch the industry’s first tokenized fund with consumer loans as its underlying assets. This collaboration marks the first tokenization of individual cash loans on-chain, providing broader funding sources for the underlying assets and exploring new possibilities for traditional consumer finance businesses.

As a promoter of inclusive finance with business spanning emerging markets including Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Mexico, KN Group will conduct a shelf offering of USD 100 million in tokenized consumer finance assets (RWA), with an initial issuance size of USD 20 million. AlloyX, a renowned Hong Kong Web3 fintech firm, specializes in bridging traditional finance with blockchain-based services, providing secure and efficient fiat and stablecoin payment solutions alongside asset tokenization services. This powerful alliance will significantly enhance asset liquidity, stability, and capital efficiency, opening new channels for global capital market asset allocation.

Lucas Kong, General Manager of KN Group Hong Kong and Global Head of Treasury at KN Group, stated: “This global debut is a major milestone following KN Group’s decade of deep cultivation in AI fintech. It successfully bridges traditional financial services with the global capital markets through digital pathways. This initiative explores a replicable path for onboarding traditional consumer financial assets onto the blockchain, granting investors greater transparency, flexibility, and investment efficiency. Through financial asset tokenization, we aim to better serve global investors. Moving forward, we aspire to achieve further breakthroughs in setting new industry standards, unlocking fresh asset value, and connecting global emerging ecosystems, continuing our strides in innovative finance.”

Under this strategic partnership, AlloyX provides KN Group with blockchain technology solutions and support. Jessie Chen, Head of RWA Issuance at AlloyX, commented: “We are delighted to partner with KN Group to jointly advance the global tokenization of cash loans, accelerating the integration and development of traditional financial systems with next-generation Web3 technology applications. This ensures high-quality financial assets circulate on-chain in a compliant and transparent manner. AlloyX will continue collaborating with industry partners to support institutions in their standardized, modularized, and globalized blockchain-based business expansion.”

As a key enterprise introduced by the Hong Kong Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES), KN Group will leverage this innovation as a starting point. It will continue to harness its strengths in AI-powered risk control technology, optimize asset management, expand into emerging markets, and lead the global digital development of inclusive finance.

Rising AI-Driven Cyber Attacks and Geopolitical Tensions Shaping Asia Pacific Cyber Risk Landscape, Aon study


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 July 2025 – Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, has released the Asia Pacific (APAC) findings from its 2025 Cyber Risk Report. The report underscores the increasing complexity of artificial intelligence (AI) driven cyber attacks and the prevalence of geopolitical tensions on cyber risks in the region.

This report is based on Cyber Quotient Evaluation (CyQu) scores from 3,226 Aon clients in 2024 across APAC, EMEA, LATAM and North America, which analysed more than 1,400 global cyber events to identify trends in the evolving cyber threat landscape. The CyQu database benchmarks over 10,000 clients and has 20,000 client users.

From these insights, the report signals that the APAC region is experiencing significant growth in cyber claims notifications, driven by the rising frequency and sophistication of cyber incidents. Geopolitical forces, such as trade tensions, territorial disputes and reconfigurations of the global supply chain, is shaping how APAC companies manage cyber risk.

Key Findings:

  • In the APAC region, cyber incident frequency rose 29 percent year-over-year and up 134 percent over the past four years (2020-2024).
  • There was a 22 percent rise in cyber insurance claims notifications in 2024.
  • The rise in AI-driven deepfake attacks resulted in a 53 percent increase in social engineering incidents year-over-year. Claims involving social engineering and fraud increased by 233 percent.
  • Of the 1,414 global cyber events analysed, 56 developed into reputation risk events, which are defined as cyber incidents that attract significant public attention. Companies affected by these reputation risk events experienced an average shareholder value decline of 27 percent.
  • Globally, malware and ransomware attacks were ranked most likely to trigger reputational damage, accounting for 60 percent of all reputation risk events, despite making up only 45 percent of total cyber incidents.

“In 2025, global and regional geostrategic tensions remain a key driver of cyber risk for companies in APAC. This trend is likely to accelerate with nation-state-backed threat actors continuing to employ cyber campaigns to facilitate conflicts or instigate grey-zone operations for the purposes of economic coercion, corporate espionage, or to harm regional rivals by targeting strategically important economic infrastructure,” said Adam Peckman, head of risk consulting and cyber solutions in APAC and global head of cyber risk consulting at Aon. “As cyber threats grow more complex and interconnected, companies need a clearer view of their exposure, stronger alignment between cyber security and insurance strategies, and the tools to make better, data-driven decisions.”

Aon’s 2025 Cyber Risk Report draws on proprietary data from the firm’s CyQu platform, a patented global e-submission tool that streamlines the cyber insurance intake process and empowers organisations with actionable insights into their cyber exposures and insurability, helping to strengthen both underwriting outcomes and cyber risk management strategies.

The openings of Far East Village Hotel Osaka, Namba South, and Far East Village Hotel Osaka, Honmachi, represent a significant milestone in the Group’s growth strategy – to double its footprint to 2,000 rooms within the next five years across Japan’s key gateway cities of Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Fukuoka.

“Far East Hospitality’s expansion into Osaka is a pivotal step towards our five-year goal of expanding to 2,000 rooms in Japan. We are focused on strengthening the Far East Village brand in the country’s key cities, particularly those with vibrant business and leisure appeal. We’re excited to embrace the richness of Japan’s culture and bring our ‘Live Like a Local’ philosophy to life, inviting travellers to engage meaningfully with what Japan has to offer. To fulfil this, we’re pleased to partner Anglo Capital Group as they expand into Osaka. With our combined expertise and commitment to authentic hospitality, we look forward to delivering memorable guest experiences and unlocking full potential of these properties,” said Mr. Mark Rohner, Chief Operating Officer of Far East Hospitality.

“Our entry into the Osaka market through the acquisition of two centrally located hotels and our partnership with Far East Hospitality for their management marks an exciting milestone in the continued growth of our hotel portfolio. Osaka’s dynamic tourism landscape and strategic location make it an ideal addition to our expanding presence in Japan. We look forward to working with Far East Hospitality to deliver exceptional guest experiences and further strengthen our footprint in key locations across Japan,” said Benjamin Cho, Principal of Anglo Fortune Capital Group.

Accelerating Growth in Japan

Far East Hospitality made its entry into Japan in July 2020 with the opening of Far East Village Hotel Tokyo Ariake, followed by Far East Village Hotel Yokohama in June 2021. Despite global travel restrictions due to the pandemic, the Group maintained expansion momentum, opening its third property in 2023, Far East Village Hotel Tokyo Asakusa. With these two new Osaka hotels, Far East Hospitality is now operating five hotels in five years since its entry into Japan.

These milestone openings reaffirm the Group’s commitment to delivering purpose-driven, culturally grounded hospitality while expanding its regional presence in a competitive and high-potential market.

Confidence in a Rebounding Market

Japan’s tourism sector has demonstrated remarkable resilience and recovery since the pandemic. In Tokyo alone, international visitor arrivals between January and October 2023 were approximately 12 times higher, exceeding pre-pandemic levels by over 34%[1]. The rebound continued into 2024, with Japan welcoming a record-breaking 36.9 million international visitors, a 47.1% increase from 2023.[2]

This strong performance has fuelled Far East Hospitality’s optimism to scale in Japan, where rising inbound demand and evolving traveller preferences of personalised, authentic, and meaningful experiences when choosing travel destinations[3] align closely with the Group’s offerings.

Live Like a Local in the Heart of Osaka

Suitable for both leisure and business travellers, Far East Village Hotel Osaka, Namba South is a 77-room hotel located in the vibrant Oku-Namba neighbourhood, just south of Osaka’s bustling Namba district.

Far East Village Hotel Osaka, Honmachi has 165 rooms, and serves as an ideal gateway to Osaka’s blend of modernity and rich cultural heritage. Situated in the central business district of Chuo-ku, just steps from the iconic Osaka Castle, the hotel offers easy access to popular landmarks such as Osaka-jo Park and the historic Minami district.

Datumstruct Enhances Singapore Experience Centre for Command Centre Technology


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 July 2025 – Datumstruct, a provider of critical facilities solutions across Asia, has announced the revamp of its Singapore experience centre (XC 2.0), located at 33 Changi South Ave 2, 486445 Singapore.

Datumstruct Enhances Singapore Experience Centre for Command Centre Technology

The updated facility is set to open by late September or early October 2025, offering a comprehensive and hands-on showcase of the company’s integrated capabilities across Ergonomic Console Desking (Redecon), Control Centre Design & Build (CCDB), and Control Centre Technology Integration (CCTI).


Integrated Showcase of Critical Facility Solutions

Spanning 170 square metres, the Singapore experience centre will feature operational demonstrations of technologies typically deployed in command and control centre environments.

Key components include a working control room video wall setup and product simulations that highlight the importance of ergonomics, particularly in 24/7 operational settings.

VinFast Advances Ecosystem Strategy in Philippines’ EV Catch-Up


MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 July 2025 – With nearly 19,000 electric vehicles sold in 2024, the Philippines is looking to catch up in Southeast Asia’s EV race as ecosystem players like VinFast work to overcome hurdles around charging access, maintenance, and affordability.

VinFast EV manufacturing complex in Hai Phong, Vietnam
VinFast EV manufacturing complex in Hai Phong, Vietnam

Emerging Asia’s electric vehicle market reached nearly 400,000 sales in 2024[1], but the gains were spread unevenly across the region.

In Southeast Asia, Vietnam led the way with nearly 90,000 electric cars sold, accounting for 17.6 percent of the country’s car market.[2] Thailand followed closely with just over 70,000 new EVs, accounting for 13 percent of all car sales[3]. Indonesia recorded 49,200 EVs, representing over 7 percent of national sales.[4]

The Philippines lags behind. Fewer than 19,000 electrified vehicles were sold in 2024, making up only around 4 percent of new car purchases.[5]

Can the Philippines draft a catch-up strategy in Southeast Asia’s EV sprint? The short answer is yes, but it needs to work closely with all stakeholders, especially OEMs like VinFast, which is bringing a comprehensive ecosystem designed to address the major concerns of potential EV buyers.

The ASEAN EV Race

Regional competitors are deploying aggressive strategies to dominate the electric transition. Thailand offers big multi-year tax holidays and targets 30 percent domestic EV production by 2030. Indonesia leverages its world-leading nickel reserves to attract battery manufacturers. Vietnam is using homegrown VinFast as a launchpad into export markets.

Manila isn’t standing still either, as the 2022 Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA) lays out a roadmap for EV adoption that includes reduced import tariffs, EV-only parking slots, and a requirement for 5 percent of large fleets to be electric. However, the policy offers few supply-side incentives, and so while EV sales have picked up in recent years, they still account for only a single-digit share of total car sales.

The country’s oil dependency adds pressure. MUFG estimates that a 10-dollar increase per barrel in crude oil would widen the Philippines’ current-account deficit from roughly 3.5 percent to over 4.5 percent of GDP.[6] That is a full percentage-point increase, largely driven by fuel imports.

The Philippines pledged to trim greenhouse-gas emissions by up to 75% by 2030 under the Paris Agreement. And EV is a big part of this[7]. But electrifying transportation means consumers need more affordable, serviceable zero-emission options. More than that, the government needs partners who can support the full ecosystem, including infrastructure, services, and education, not just the vehicles themselves.

VinFast’s Whole-of-Ecosystem Approach

VinFast vehicles are already on Philippine roads. In July 2024, the company opened its first three showrooms. Almost a year later, the OEM became a full member of CAMPI, giving it a seat at the local policy table alongside other traditional automotive brands.

What’s notable about VinFast’s approach is its effort to build a comprehensive “For a Green Future” ecosystem. The company has partnered with local dealers to open more than 60 new showrooms by the end of the year. Collaborations with tire and maintenance chains like Goodyear and Tire King will extend after-sales service coverage, aiming for over 100 authorized service workshops across the Philippines by 2025. This tackles the “who fixes my EV, and where?” anxiety head-on.

VinFast has also launched a free charging program alongside the debut of its VF 6 subcompact model. This initiative allows customers to charge for free at its dedicated network until May 1, 2027. The network, operated by V-GREEN, aims to roll out 15,000 charging ports across the country in 2025.

VinFast’s strategy targets three major EV adoption barriers all at once. It eases range anxiety through accessible charging, tackles maintenance fears with a broad service network, and addresses upfront cost concerns through policies such as a buyback program that offers up to 90 percent of the vehicle’s original value.

Even without building a local factory, VinFast’s ecosystem creates jobs in sales, repairs, software, and charging infrastructure. This supports Manila’s EVIDA goals, helps reduce urban pollution, and contributes to lowering oil dependence.

Another hidden challenge to EV adoption and one VinFast aims to solve is lack of familiarity, which, according to some studies, is actually the largest barrier. One American study found that once drivers experience EVs firsthand, concerns about range, costs, and charging drop significantly[8].

To help bridge that gap, VinFast is working with various B2B partners and mobility service providers that are helping make electric vehicles more visible and accessible in everyday life, including Green GSM, the Philippines’ first all-electric taxi service, which recently launched on June 10, 2025.

By interacting with Green GSM drivers, all of whom operate VinFast vehicles, everyday commuters are given a practical and low-barrier introduction to EVs. These conversations can help the public understand how EVs work, what they feel like to drive one, and why they might be worth considering. Eventually, that exposure could encourage more people to make the switch.

In Southeast Asia’s e-mobility race, the Philippines may lack a domestic factory. Still, VinFast’s ecosystem-focused approach gives the country a real opportunity to catch up and perhaps even pull ahead.

Meey Group Hosts the ‘Proptech Capitalization Strategy Forum: Born in Vietnam – Build for the World’

Affirming Its Pioneering Role in Realising Vietnam’s National Digital Asset Policy

  • Over 20 investment fund leaders and 20 top companies in attendance.
  • Featuring partner ARC and senior Nasdaq representatives.
  • Deep-dive sessions on capitalisation solutions and IPO roadmap for Vietnamese enterprises.
  • Official signing of a comprehensive strategic cooperation between Meey Group and ARC

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 July 2025 – Meey Group, Vietnam’s leading property technology company, organises ‘Proptech Capitalization Strategy Forum: Born in Vietnam, Build for the World’ at the InterContinental Hanoi Westlake. This event is not only expected to open a new chapter for Vietnam’s tech enterprises aiming for global IPOs but also considered as a strategic touchpoint between international capital markets and the domestic tech ecosystem, in alignment with the national digital transformation strategy.

To concretise of Vietnam’s National Digital Transformation Programme approved by the Prime Minister in Decision No. 749/QĐ-TTg dated June 3, 2020 and gradually build a legal corridor for digital assets according to Decision No. 1255/QĐ-TTg, the role of pioneering tech enterprises is more critical than ever. Particularly in real estate, a sector contributing for a large proportion of the economy, digitalisation and asset tokenisation are seen as vital tools to unlock capital flows, increase transparency and attract high-quality investment.

Leading the trend and in harmony with national direction, Meey Group initiates this event to connect its digital asset technology platform with the global capital market, offering a scalable model for other Vietnamese tech firms. The event is expected to not only accelerate market upgrades and real estate recovery but also pave the way for Vietnam’s tech enterprises to step confidently onto the world stage.

Speaking about the upcoming event, Hoàng Mai Chung, Chairman of Meey Group, said: “Our mission goes beyond building a successful tech enterprise, we aspire to contribute to the nation’s development in general. This forum is our effort to create a strategic ‘touchpoint’ between international capital and Vietnam’s tech ecosystem.

“By bringing in the best of global standards, experience and investment, we contribute to uplift our economy’s competitiveness, promote transparency, and open a new chapter for the Vietnamese tech brand on the global map.”

Expect to bring solutions, anticipate trends

More than a traditional corporate gathering, the ‘Proptech Capitalization Strategy Forum’ organized by Meey Group is designed as a high-level, multidimensional dialogue platform.

Amidst the ongoing Fourth Industrial Revolution that is reshaping all industries and the Government of Vietnam’s strong commitment to promoting national digital transformation, the ‘Proptech Capitalization Strategy Forum’ provides businesses with opportunities to anticipate capital flow shifts towards technology companies with solid foundations and global vision.

In-depth panel discussions is facilitated by senior experts from the US stock exchange Nasdaq and global financial advisory firm ARC Group. Playing key roles in guiding technology capital markets and providing professional IPO advisory services, these two partners will directly analyse the challenges and share success formulas for Vietnamese proptech enterprises on their international listing journey.

The agenda goes beyond finance, diving deep into essential topics such as corporate governance, transparency and ESG standards – factors increasingly valued by global institutional investors. Notably, the sessions explore how capital strategy aligns with digital asset transformation – a core competitive advantage aligned with the national digital economy orientation and helps Vietnamese enterprises achieve higher valuations in international markets.

Gathering 20 Potential tech companies: advancing the ecosystem together

What sets this forum apart is Meey Group’s initiative in building a shared playground. By convening 20 top Vietnamese tech companies with IPO aspirations, Meey Group affirms its leadership not only through its own journey but also through its commitment to elevating the entire Vietnamese tech ecosystem.

This embodies the spirit of ‘Born in Vietnam’ – where the success of one enterprise becomes an inspiration and a lesson for the whole community. The direct networking session between these companies and international investment experts will unlock new possibilities for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and an important preparation step for the next generation of tech enterprise.

Strategic cooperation official signing ceremony: concretise a well-planned voyage

A highlight of the forum is the official signing of a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement between Meey Group and ARC Group. Far from being the starting point, the event in Hanoi marks a critical milestone in a well-planned journey. While the March 2025 signing in Shanghai laid the foundation on global cooperation, this forum puts concrete strategies into motion through discussions and activate connections.

The structured, phased approach demonstrates Meey Group’s long-term vision and commitment to global market integration, reinforcing trust among investors and international partners.

Panel discussion between Nasdaq representatives and Meey Group: future orientation and IPO opportunities held the same afternoon at Meey Group’s headquarters

Meey Group was honoured to host a special panel discussion with the participation of Nasdaq representative Hiren Krishnani, Investor relations and IPO director, at the group’s headquarters. The discussion focused on strategic topics regarding IPOs, post-listing corporate governance, and opportunities for ASEAN enterprises in accessing international capital markets.

The panel discussion provided deep insights into the IPO process, development trends in global financial markets, and solutions to support enterprises in building and developing effective Investor Relations (IR) programs after listing. In particular, Hiren Krishnani shared experiences from advising over 50 successful IPOs, including major transactions such as the Grab” SPAC Combo and VinFast SPAC Combo, helping ASEAN enterprises better understand how to leverage opportunities from Nasdaq.

Hiren Krishnani said: “Nasdaq always accompanies companies in the ASEAN region to bring them to the world, opening up new opportunities in international capital markets. Particularly, with thorough preparation and the right strategy, enterprises can succeed after listing and increase sustainable value.”

The panel discussion was a valuable event for Vietnamese enterprises, especially Meey Group, to exchange and learn effective strategies for participating in international stock markets, while expanding relationships with potential investors from around the world.

Meey Group: actively accompanying and actualising the national digital assets policy

As real estate continues to be a cornerstone of Vietnam’s economy, estimated to contribute nearly 12 per cent to national GDP. The Government’s issuance of Decision No. 1255/QĐ-TTg – approving the ‘Scheme of completion of the legal framework on management of virtual assets, digital currencies and virtual currencies’ is regarded as a strategic move with the potential to reshape the future of the industry. In this context, the role of pioneering tech enterprises like Meey Group becomes especially critical.

Meey Group stands as the sole technology conglomerate in Vietnam to pioneer the development of a comprehensive proptech-fintech ecosystem – one that spans the entire value chain of the real estate industry: from data and management to transactions and investment.

To achieve this, over the years, Meey Group has gone far beyond building standalone technology platforms. With an ecosystem of 26 integrated products, Meey has undertaken a much greater mission: to standardise, verify, and structure data for the real estate market.

Through this ecosystem, millions of fragmented, unreliable data points on zoning plans, legal documentation, pricing, and more have been transformed into valuable digital assets that are traceable and verifiable. In doing so, Meey Group is not merely operating on the surface of information, but it is quietly building a massive and trusted digital asset ‘repositories’ for Vietnam’s real estate market.

Furthermore, Meey Group understands that digital assets can only reach their full potential in an environment where value can be unlocked and circulated. That is why the enterprise has established Meey Network, a trusted community platform where digital assets can be transparently connected and traded. Additionally, Meey Finance, a specialised fintech platform, provides the essential tools to ‘capitalise’ and unlock liquidity, transforming data value into real financial value.

These are the crucial elements that enable Meey Group to create an essential ‘digital infrastructure’, in alignment with the Government’s orientation. When the legal framework for digital assets is issued, Meey Group will already be positioned at the forefront with a proven technology platform and data repository.

A digital asset, regardless of its intrinsic value, needs market acceptance and a ‘set of standards’ for proper valuation and capitalization. The ‘Proptech Capitalization Strategy Forum’ organised by Meey Group aims to be the strategic “touchpoint” to address this need.

With the participation of global financial institutions like ARC and strategic consultation from Nasdaq, the forum provides more than just access to capital; it delivers an international ‘set of standards’ and a ‘gateway’ to global financial markets. Meey Group’s proactive, forward-thinking, and policy-aligned approach not only demonstrates the strategic vision of the enterprise but also serves as a valuable reference model on how private enterprises can contribute to and realize the country’s digital economic development goals.

Sun announced substantial subsidies — industry giants can receive up to 1,000 square meters of booth space (2.3 million yuan), and other leading firms up to 500 square meters (1.15 million yuan).

Liu Ying, secretary-general of AIE organizing committee, provided a detailed overview of the expo. The AIE reflects the rise of China’s high-end manufacturing and the Greater Bay Area’s global tech prominence, with its innovation index ranking second worldwide for five consecutive years.

Chai Zhengmao, director of Shenzhen’s Exhibition Industry Management Office, said the city will provide full support for local enterprises participating in the AIE.

Shenzhen will collaborate with organizers to arrange production base tours and supply-demand matching activities, Chai added, urging enterprises to maximize their respective participation outcomes.

During interactive discussions, the enterprise and trade association representatives expressed strong enthusiasm. They raised questions on buyer invitation precision, visa facilitation, exhibit customs clearance, booth application details, association involvement, and promotional coordination.

Xie Jianhua, president of the U.S.-China E-Commerce Trade Association, praised the AIE as an opportunity for Chinese firms to build an independent global platform, addressing pain points in overseas exhibitions. Representatives from Baypin Group, Foxconn, Sunwoda, Konka, and industry associations voiced their intent to participate in the AIE.

For logistics, exhibitors with AIE credentials will enjoy 24-hour smooth border access between Macao and Zhuhai, supported by frequent shuttle bus services, said Liu Ying.

Sun Bin reaffirmed Guangdong’s commitment to supporting the AIE by providing optimal services and addressing practical issues, such as visa facilitation.

The promotion event marks a key milestone in AIE’s preparations. Supported by government, industry associations, and enterprises, the AIE is poised to become a world-class technology expo rooted in the Greater Bay Area with global reach.

Scheduled for December 4-6 this year in Macao and Zhuhai, the AIE will feature six themed pavilions, including Intelligent Communication and IoT and Intelligent Equipment and Industrial Internet, spanning 70,000 square meters with approximately 1,000 exhibitors.
