Valle Venia presents: LPS feat. Natalia Sarsgard: J’ai dû m’arrêter


NEUSTADT AN DER WEINSTRASSE, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 27 March 2026 – The song by Leo Philipp Schmidt and Valle Venia captures the feeling of losing oneself in a world that is growing ever louder and faster, where restlessness and superficiality cause relationships, friendships, and connections to dissolve and be sacrificed.

J'ai dû m'arrêter LPS feat. Natalia Sarsgard/Leo Philipp Schmidt
J’ai dû m’arrêter LPS feat. Natalia Sarsgard/Leo Philipp Schmidt

With emotional depth, singer Natalia Sarsgard describes the path to finding oneself again, to gathering one’s thoughts, to remaining silent, to withdrawing—in order to reflect in the silence, in the comfort, and in the seclusion, to feel and reconnect with ourselves and others.

Through her multifaceted voice, Natalia Sarsgard’s interpretation of the song conveys how strength and courage can arise from deep vulnerability. Without even realizing it, one is accompanied by the confidence that what was thought to be lost can be found again.

The Group’s revenue rose by 45.0% to US$501.54 million, boosted by the global K-Beauty momentum and the scaled expansion of its B2B platform, which accounted for nearly 30% of the Group’s revenue. Gross profit increased by 40.9% to US$148.50 million, and gross profit margin remained relatively stable at 29.6%. Operating profit also grew by 28.2% to US$31.90 million.

Market diversification pays off as non-core markets lead global growth

Building on stable revenue from its core markets (the US, UK, Canada, and Australia), the Group accelerated its expansion into mainland Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and other emerging markets. In 2025, non-core markets accounted for over half of the Group’s total revenue, significantly outpacing core markets in growth and becoming the primary catalyst of its business across the globe. Among these regions, Latin America and the Middle East recorded the strongest upward trend, with growth of 224.4% and 75.5% respectively, while Europe and Associated Countries remained the Group’s largest regional market.

Social media marketing and influencer engagement remain core drivers of YesStyle‘s growth strategy.

Meanwhile,YesStyle bolstered its localization efforts to capture opportunities in non-English-speaking markets. In July 2025, it launched a Polish-language website, expanding its language offerings to nine. Combined with social-media-driven marketing, regional campaigns via a robust network of influencers, and AI-powered solutions, the Group extended K-Beauty’s reach to a broader audience worldwide. This momentum is further amplified by the opening of Yesful Land in Seoul, South Korea, a physical hub where influencers and the K-Beauty community can converge and create authentic content, bridging digital engagement with real-world experience.

B2C-B2B synergy fuels performance with ABW business scaling rapidly

YesAsia Holdings is an authorized distributor for over 475 K-Beauty brands, serving both B2C and B2B channels. The dual-growth-engine strategy continued to bear fruit in 2025, fortifying the Group’s overall market influence and ongoing advancement.

Notably, ABW maintained its vigorous growth trajectory in 2025, with the newly launched ABW Offline business generating almost US$50 million in revenue in its debut year, underscoring the strong international retail demand for K-Beauty products. During the Year, ABW established distribution networks for 56 leading retailers across 26 markets, spanning North America, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. Prominent partners include Target, Costco, Primark, Douglas, Sally Beauty, Watsons, and Nykaa. These collaborations have enabled the Group and its K-Beauty brand partners to reach millions of consumers through established offline retail networks, effectively tapping into a market segment that remains significantly larger than its online counterpart.

Mr. Joshua Lau, Founder, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, said: “Looking ahead, we are confident that K-Beauty’s global development impetus will only gather steam as it has transitioned from a niche category into a mainstream retail staple. To capture the opportunities that arise, we will deepen engagement in non-core markets through targeted and localized digital initiatives. At the same time, we are accelerating our B2B business by connecting K-Beauty brands with international retailers, and leveraging our logistics network and AI-driven capabilities. With dual growth engines in B2C and B2B, advanced technology, and a dedicated team, YesAsia Holdings is well-positioned to soar to new heights and deliver long-term value to shareholders and stakeholders.”

OneBullEx Launches AI-Native Futures Infrastructure Platform, Integrating Quantitative Research Tools and Systematic Execution Architecture for the Crypto Derivatives Market

HONG KONG, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 

Introduction

A new shift is taking shape in crypto trading. By embedding AI-driven research and validation tools into exchange-level infrastructure, platforms such as OneBullEx are beginning to define a new kind of technical architecture for the crypto derivatives era. It signals a broader transition in how crypto platforms are built, where intelligence, execution, and system-level efficiency are becoming as important as market access itself.

 Blockchain originally promised ownership, but in crypto futures, that promise was diluted. Participants may have access to markets, yet they often lack visibility into how strategies are validated, how performance is measured, and how execution pipelines operate. That gap between market access and operational transparency is one of the deeper tensions driving the evolution of exchange infrastructure today.

AI reshapes crypto futures infrastructure

Unlike stocks, cryptocurrency markets never close. Bots operate continuously, scanning decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, social media and news to act within seconds. Coincub estimates that 70% of global trading volume is now executed by algorithms, primarily institutional bots. The quality of data feeding these systems matters as much as speed. Nasdaq’s AI‑driven M‑ELO order type, which uses reinforcement learning to adjust a hidden order’s hold period in real time, increased fill rates by 20.3% and reduced price mark‑outs by 11.4% compared with static parameters.

 The growth of AI-driven trading infrastructure is also changing the architecture of crypto exchanges themselves. Rather than positioning itself broadly, OneBullEx is focusing on a narrower category as a futures-first platform where AI underpins the technical architecture from the ground up. Futures remain the core strategic priority, and the exchange provides a unified environment for quantitative research, strategy validation, and deployment.

 The OneBullEx ecosystem combines three layers of functionality within a single platform. The exchange infrastructure provides the settlement and execution foundation. 300 SPARTANS operates as a systematic execution layer where rules-based programs, each having passed walk-forward testing before deployment, run continuously according to predefined parameters. OneALPHA functions as a quantitative research pipeline that converts natural-language strategy hypotheses into structured, backtested code through a five-agent workflow.

“The structural challenge in crypto futures infrastructure has always been that quantitative research tools and accessible interfaces pull in opposite directions,” said a OneBullEx representative. “We built OneALPHA and 300 SPARTANS into the exchange architecture so that the research-to-deployment pipeline lives in one environment. That integration is what defines the platform’s technical approach.”

Generational adoption and behavioural shifts

A report based on data from the MEXC exchange found that 67% of Gen Z traders activated at least one AI‑powered trading bot in Q2 2025. Younger traders treat bots as volatility management tools: 73% enable bots during market uncertainty and disable them in calmer periods. The report noted that rule-based execution reduced panic-driven exits by 47% compared with manual approaches, as predefined parameters removed the emotional variable from the process.

Yet AI trading is not a panacea. Coincub warns that most profits still accrue to institutional players with capital and co‑location privileges, and bots cannot rescue an inherently bad strategy.

Manual vs algorithmic execution: a structural comparison

The operational gap between manual and automated trading is widening across several dimensions. In terms of speed and latency, manual traders execute through user interfaces with latency measured in seconds or minutes, while algorithmic systems operate in microseconds via co‑located servers. Emotional discipline is another divide: human traders are subject to fear and greed, with panic sell‑offs common, whereas bots execute pre‑defined rules and reduce panic selling by 47%. Availability compounds the problem further, since traders need sleep but crypto markets never close, and bots operate around the clock without interruption. On accessibility, manual trading apps remain widely available with a low barrier to entry, but AI‑driven tools still often require coding knowledge or access to bot platforms, and retail bots face higher fees and slower infrastructure that limit profitability.

One unresolved tension in this space is that many algorithmic tools remain institutionally shaped even when marketed to individual users. OneBullEx’s architectural response is to collapse the gap between research capability and interface usability. OneALPHA makes strategy research accessible through natural language input, while the platform’s integrated validation pipeline (walk-forward optimization, forensic performance breakdowns, glass-box code visibility) provides the kind of rigour typically associated with institutional-grade research workflows.

Risks, regulatory responses and hidden challenges

Even as AI improves efficiency, it introduces new risks. The 2010 Flash Crash showed how algorithmic feedback loops can destabilise markets. Wharton researchers warn that AI trading agents could collude without explicit coordination: algorithms might punish competitors who undercut prices or adopt similar learning biases, leading to higher prices and reduced market liquidity.

Regulators are responding. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a request for comment in January 2024 asking how AI impedes anti‑fraud enforcement and whether current rules adequately address algorithmic manipulation. Commissioner Kristin Johnson proposed surveys of AI use and heightened penalties for AI‑driven misconduct. The CFTC’s Technology Advisory Committee recommended transparency around black‑box algorithms and adoption of AI risk‑management frameworks aligned with the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines.

If AI-native markets are to scale responsibly, automation needs to be supported by transparency, integrity, and auditable performance. OneBullEx reflects that direction through an architecture built around validated research pipelines, fair NAV-based accounting, visible performance histories, and a glass-box approach to strategy code generation that contrasts with the opaque models drawing increasing regulatory scrutiny.

Conclusion

The structural evolution of crypto futures is happening at the infrastructure level. As algorithmic participation grows and regulators push for greater transparency, the architecture of exchanges matters more than it used to. OneBullEx’s approach, embedding quantitative research tools and systematic execution pipelines directly into the exchange, offers one model for how that architecture can evolve.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 March 2026 – Best Mart 360 Holdings Limited (“Best Mart 360” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 2360.HK), a leisure food retailer in Hong Kong, announced its results for the year ended 31 December 2025. During the year, the revenue recorded by the Group amounted to approximately HK$2,867,695,000 (2024: HK$2,805,146,000), representing an increase of approximately 2.2%.

During the Financial Year under Review, gross profit was approximately HK$1,035,074,000 (2024: HK$1,027,997,000), representing an increase of 0.7%. The Group’s gross profit margin for the year was approximately 36.1%, compared to approximately 36.6% in 2024. This contraction in margin was primarily attributable to the strategic implementation of enhanced promotional campaigns designed to navigate the ongoing trend of consumption downgrading and intensified market competition.

Profit attributable to owners of the Company for the year was approximately HK$219,730,000 (2024 (Restated): approximately HK$245,901,000), primarily due to a slight reduction in average revenue per store and a contraction in gross profit margin, which collectively impacted overall profitability. The net profit margin (before interest and tax) moderated to approximately 9.8%, down from approximately 11.2% for the year ended 31 December 2024 (Restated).

For the Financial Year under Review, basic earnings per share was approximately HK22.0 cents. The Board recommended the payment of final dividend of HK9.0 cents per share.

BUSINESS REVIEW
Strategy Adjustment & Opened 10New Retail Stores
As at 31 December 2025, the Group operated a total of 183 chain retail stores, including 178 chain retail stores (31 December 2024: 170 stores) in Hong Kong and 5 chain retail stores (31 December 2024: 6 stores) in Macau respectively. During the Financial Year under Review, the Group opened 10 new retail stores and closed 3 stores upon expiration of their respective lease terms in alignment with the Group’s strategy adjustment.

The ratio of rental expense (cash basis) to sales revenue of retail stores for the year ended 31 December 2025 was approximately 9.6%, which was similar to that of approximately 9.6% for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Introduced Popular Brands & Launched on Grocery Delivery Platform
Hong Kong residents’ growing propensity to spend in Mainland China, coupled with inbound visitors’ preference for in-depth experiences, more rational and prudent consumption patterns, as well as the intensified competition in the local market from Mainland China e-commerce players leveraging economies of scale, the Hong Kong retail market is undergoing a structural long-term transformation, with the industry’s competitive landscape and consumption behaviour being reshaped.

In response to the challenging business environment, the Group adopted a series of timely and targeted measures to navigate these difficulties. These included optimizing product mix and strengthening the offering of basic foodstuffs covering cereals, noodles, canned food, milk, chilled and frozen food, daily necessities as well as basic groceries. The Group also introduced popular Mainland brands as well as imported a wide range of specialty food from around the world to meet the needs and expectations of local consumers and visiting tourists. To further strengthen its business, the Group launched on the Foodpanda grocery delivery platform during 2025 to expand its online sales channels, and rolled out a variety of promotional initiatives including shopping vouchers. These initiatives collectively contributed to the Group’s sales growth during the Financial Year under Review.

The Group procured quality products from overseas suppliers as well as brand owners or importers in Hong Kong. For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group offered a total of approximately 3,425 stock keeping units (“SKU”) of products (for the year ended 31 December 2024: approximately 3,653 SKU) from suppliers principally from (but not limited to) Japan, Mainland China, Europe, Vietnam, Korea, the United States and other Asia-Pacific countries.

The Group sourced the most popular and trendy food products from various regions, striving to provide customers with diverse, multi-brand, and multi-category global product choices.

As at 31 December 2025, the total amount of inventories of the Group amounted to approximately HK$316,841,000 (31 December 2024: approximately HK$339,513,000), representing a decrease of approximately 6.7% year-on-year. The decrease in the Group’s total inventories was mainly attributable to optimised inventory management and the timing shift of the Lunar New Year holiday from January to February.

During the Financial Year under Review, the Group continued to actively develop private label products that on one hand allowed the Group to capture pricing advantages and exercise a higher level of quality control over its products and on the other hand further uplift its brand awareness and strengthen customers’ loyalty. For the Financial Year under Review, sales derived from private label products were approximately HK$520,821,000 (for the year ended 31 December 2024: approximately HK$477,222,000), accounted for approximately 18.2% of the Group’s revenue for the Financial Year under Review (for the year ended 31 December 2024: approximately 17.0%).

Expanded Customer Base & Enhanced Loyalty
To further deepen customer stickiness and broaden customers coverage, the Group used big data analysis and reformulated its marketing strategy to launch a new three-tier membership scheme and a second-generation mobile app in mid-June 2020. The new membership scheme helps to elevate brand positioning and market recognition, and the membership rewards have been fully optimised and enhanced, with more member benefits such as stamp reward for multiple-item purchase, special offers for selected products and access to the latest market information. During the Financial Year under Review, the number of the Group’s members increased from approximately 2,280,418 as at 31 December 2024 to approximately 2,395,862 as at 31 December 2025, representing an increase of approximately 5.1%.

The Group launched various marketing and promotional activities during the Financial Year under Review including the “Best Price” promotional campaign, which provided customers with a series of special offers for selected quality products from time to time to enhance customer loyalty. Meanwhile, the Group continued to advertise through television, newspapers, social media platforms and other media, which successfully attracted new customers encouraged repeat purchases and significantly enhanced market awareness of the Group.

PROSPECTS
Looking ahead, uncertainties in Sino-US relations, geopolitical risks and other factors will introduce further variables to economic recovery, and economic growth in Hong Kong and globally is expected to remain under pressure. The Board anticipates that the retail sector in Hong Kong will remain challenging in the near term. Nevertheless, the Group will continue to operate in a cautiously optimistic manner, closely monitor the development of various adverse factors that may impact the Group’s performance, and timely implement necessary and appropriate measures through refined operations and management to adapt to the ever-changing market environment.

The Group will continue to prioritize the Hong Kong market as its core focus, optimize its product mix and enhance the development of its private label products, with a wider range of staple foods and necessities to better meet consumer demand and enhance the Group’s competitiveness in the retail market.

To maintain sound operational efficiency, the Group will timely review the regional distribution of its brand stores, implement a moderate expansion policy and flexible leasing strategies, and actively pursue suitable opportunities to expand the retail network for its core retail brand “Best Mart 360º” and global gourmet brand “FoodVille” in Hong Kong and Macau, targeting a net increase of 10 retail stores annually under its dual-brand model, catering to the diverse needs of different customer segments for quality food products.

Mr. Hui Chi Kwan, Chief Executive Officer of the Group, said, “Faced with an increasingly complex operating environment, the Group will maintain a prudent and pragmatic approach in its operations and continue to work closely with its employees, customers and other stakeholders, striving to improve business performance and deliver stable returns to shareholders.”
