NEW YORK, Dec. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the new year begins, it offers a meaningful moment to reflect on shared progress and renewed responsibility in respiratory care. Over the past year, VARON has continued to focus on what matters most—reliability, accessibility, and compassion-driven action that supports real people and real needs.

A Year Shaped by Reliability and Everyday Care

The past year reinforced the growing importance of dependable oxygen therapy solutions. For many individuals and families, access to an oxygen concentrator for home use has become essential for maintaining comfort, stability, and peace of mind. At the same time, increasing mobility needs highlighted the value of an oxygen concentrator for travel, enabling patients to remain active while managing long-term respiratory conditions.

Across these use cases, one consistent theme emerged: people are not simply looking for an oxygen concentrator for sale, but for long-term reliability, clear guidance, and dependable service. This insight continues to guide VARON’s development of practical solutions, including the portable oxygen concentrator, that support daily life without unnecessary complexity.

Supporting the Most Vulnerable Through Meaningful Giving

Beyond product performance, the past year also highlighted the importance of community responsibility. A significant milestone was VARON’s donation of Serene 5 oxygen concentrators to St. Vincent Social Works Foundation IAP FOSSVI, an organization dedicated to helping and caring for some of the most marginalized members of society.

FOSSVI serves vulnerable communities through its homes, including San Vicente Home and the Santa Luisa Annex, providing care and dignity to elderly residents and religious sisters who have devoted their lives to serving the poor. Guided by its mission to improve the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of people living in poverty, FOSSVI works to ensure that every individual can live with dignity and comfort.

Through the donation of VARON oxygen concentrators, residents—especially the nuns—have experienced tangible relief. For many, the devices have meant easier breathing, more restful nights, and days filled with comfort rather than struggle. As shared by FOSSVI, the equipment has brought “relief, hope, and joy,” offering a quiet but powerful reward for a lifetime of selfless dedication to others.

Looking Ahead With Purpose and Responsibility

As the new year begins, VARON remains focused on responsible, long-term improvement. Future efforts will continue to prioritize durability, efficiency, and user comfort—enhancements shaped by real-world feedback from home users, care institutions, and individuals who rely on oxygen support as part of daily life.

Equally important is sustained support beyond the point of purchase. VARON continues to invest in service systems, technical guidance, and spare parts availability to ensure that each device remains a reliable and trusted companion over time. This long-term perspective reflects a belief that respiratory care is not a one-time solution, but an ongoing commitment.

A Thoughtful Beginning to the New Year

The start of a new year offers an opportunity not only to look forward, but also to reaffirm core values. VARON enters the year with gratitude for the customers, partners, and charitable organizations whose trust and collaboration have shaped the past twelve months.

Guided by reflection and responsibility, VARON will continue to advance with a steady focus on quality, accessibility, and care-driven innovation—working to ensure that respiratory support technologies serve people with reliability, humility, and respect.

Partnership to Include Domestic Product and Merchandise launches, Plus U.S.-Focused Marketing Campaigns

LOS ANGELES and SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Starting in 2026, fans of Paris Baguette and Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) will be able to find products inspired by the “Heung-Bu Duo” (Son Heung-Min and Denis Bouanga) at Paris Baguette.

Paris Baguette’s partnership with LAFC of Major League Soccer (MLS) marks the first such partnership by a company in Korea’s food and foodservice sector with a U.S.-based sports team. The partnership is Paris Baguette’s third global sports collaboration, following partnerships with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2023-2024 and Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League in 2025.

Through this partnership, Paris Baguette will roll out LAFC-themed bakery products and merchandise starting in 2026, along with a variety of customer engagement programs such as Meet & Greet event and ticket giveaway.

“Sports are powerful content that connects fans around the world and enables closer engagement,” Jin Soo Hur, Vice Chairman of Paris Baguette, said. “Through our partnership with LAFC, we will offer a variety of activities that allow customers to share joyful moments and special experiences with our bread.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Paris Baguette, a global bakery brand loved by consumers in the United States and around the world for its delicious, high-quality offerings,” Larry Freedman, LAFC Co-President said. “This partnership will elevate each of our brands as we bring people together through the shared experiences of the beautiful game and wonderful food.”

LAFC is a Los Angeles–based club that debuted in 2018 and currently boasts star players such as Son Heung-Min, Denis Bouanga and Hugo Lloris on its roster. With the recent addition of Son, the club has garnered world-wide attention, rapidly expanding its fan base in Korea and internationally.

By combining bakery and sports in a unique way, Paris Baguette continues to expand its touchpoints with global sports fans and customers through activities such as launching club- and player-themed products and merchandise, running customer promotions, and conducting stadium advertising. The brand has gained attention with innovative campaigns, including displaying a Korean-language LED billboard message reading “Hello! Paris Baguette” at PSG home matches and producing videos featuring PSG star players enjoying Paris Baguette bread. These efforts earned the company the “Marketer of the Year Award,” selected by the Korea Advertisers Association. Paris Baguette also serves its coffee at Tottenham Hotspur’s home stadium.

Paris Baguette continues to expand its global presence, operating approximately 3,400 stores in Korea and around 700 stores across 15 countries in the United States, Europe, and Asia, for a total of more than 4,100 stores worldwide. In North America, including the U.S., the company aims to operate 1,000 stores by 2030 and has recently strengthened its operations by commencing construction on a local baking plant in Texas.

PANAMA CITY, Dec. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In 2025, amid white-hot competition in futures trading, HTX Futures achieved a milestone expansion of its user base, driven by robust risk controls and ongoing product innovation. As we pivot toward 2026, the industry is asking: How will HTX Futures sustain this momentum? And what is the driving force behind the “Copy Trading 4.0” buzz?

In the latest episode of Real Talk with HTX Executives, YOYO, Head of HTX Futures, addressed users directly to unpack the brand’s 2025 milestones and unveil the strategic blueprint for 2026.

Copy Trading 4.0: A System-Level Product Rebuild

Launched in 2023 and iterated throughout 2024, Copy Trading 4.0 saw breakout growth in late 2025. It is now recognized as the benchmark for HTX’s “human-centric” transformation. YOYO summarized this leap forward with three pillars: Enhanced User-Friendliness, Absolute Transparency, and Superior Security.

The copy trading engine is now natively integrated into the core futures interface. This “develop once, deploy everywhere” architecture ensures that every new futures feature is instantly available to copy traders, drastically shortening the innovation cycle.

For beginners, Smart Copy Mode removes the friction of complex configurations, allowing users to follow elite traders with balanced risk exposure. The system also offers a seamless “dual-identity” switch, letting users toggle between being a follower and a lead trader.

To prevent position commingling, the system now utilizes independent capital pools for each followed trader. Furthermore, the migration from order-based to position-based logic provides a more intuitive, real-time overview of portfolio health.

YOYO emphasized that 4.0 is not the finish line. The next phase involves integrating AI-driven strategies and expanding the elite trader ecosystem to ensure a sustainable, high-yield future for all participants.

Annual Review: What Did HTX Futures Get Right in 2025?

Looking back on the year soon coming to a close, YOYO described the trajectory of HTX Futures as one of “accumulative growth”. She revealed that the HTX Futures user base expanded by 2 to 3 times in 2025.

According to YOYO, this growth was not fueled by short-term market tailwinds but was a natural outcome of users’ long-term trust in the platform. This trust is underpinned by two core strengths HTX has consistently reinforced over the year – its brand foundation and service capabilities. These strengths are increasingly being converted into sustainable, long-term competitive advantages for its futures business.

• Security and Risk Control: The Bedrock of Long-Term Trust

First and foremost is HTX’s risk control and security system. For futures traders, security remains the single most critical factor in decision-making.

YOYO noted that over the past 12 years, HTX has continuously strengthened and refined its risk-control system, building a comprehensive defense that spans user fund isolation, system stability, and resilience under extreme market conditions. Whether during the recent industry turbulence around October 11 or amid multiple periods of intense volatility earlier this year, HTX Futures experienced no major systemic risk incidents. Its proven resilience in maintaining stable operations through repeated real-world stress tests has become a fundamental pillar supporting long-term user trust.

• Liquidity Development: A Key Milestone for the Futures Business

On liquidity, YOYO revealed that since April this year, HTX has achieved significant improvements in liquidity depth across major cryptocurrencies as well as selected secondary assets, with overall levels nearly doubling. This progress stands out as one of the most important developments for HTX Futures in 2025.

She also admitted that there is still room for improvement in certain long-tail and trending assets. Moving forward, the team will continue to solidify the foundations of K2 and secondary assets while rolling out more diversified solutions to optimize liquidity across all assets. This capability, in turn, is set to become one of the most critical and enduring competitive moats of HTX’s futures business.

• Trading Speed and System Capabilities: Built for High-Frequency and Quantitative Traders

For high-frequency and quantitative traders, execution speed and system performance are paramount. YOYO explained that in May 2025, HTX launched its Multi-Assets Collateral system, which not only supports cross-asset hedging strategies involving cryptocurrencies such as BTC and ETH but has also boosted API trading throughput by nearly fourfold.

Today, a substantial portion of high-frequency quantitative trading activity on the platform has already migrated to this system. Meanwhile, the underlying matching infrastructure continues to undergo optimization. A brand-new matching engine is expected to go live in the first quarter of 2026, further enhancing the smoothness and stability of futures trading.

• A Financial Product Suite: Enhancing Capital Efficiency and User Retention

While continuously strengthening its fundamental trading capabilities, HTX has steadily built out a more comprehensive financial product suite, now a key pillar for long-term user retention.

Since the launch of SmartEarn in December 2024, HTX Futures has centered its efforts on enhancing capital utilization efficiency. Designed around low entry thresholds and flexible deposits and withdrawals, SmartEarn allows users to earn annualized yields simply by keeping funds in their USDT-M accounts. YOYO revealed that SmartEarn is set to undergo another major iteration in 2026. Without raising usage barriers, its annualized yield potential is expected to increase by 2–3 times.

At the same time, HTX continues to upgrade both its grid trading and copy trading systems. The grid trading system was fully revamped in 2025, followed by the launch of Copy Trading 4.0 toward the end of the year.

In 2026, the team will further ramp up investment in AI-powered strategy trading tools, including AI trading assistants and integrated strategy capabilities. It is dedicated to making proven, mature strategies accessible to users at a lower entry threshold, helping them pursue long-term, sustainable returns.

YOYO emphasized that throughout its business growth, the HTX Futures team has remained committed to engaging directly with users, actively listening to authentic feedback across multiple channels, and using those insights as the primary engine for product optimization and iteration. This virtuous cycle has not only fostered increasingly deep user trust but has also become a solid foundation for business growth. At the same time, the team has consistently served every user with sincerity and dedication. Backed by strong group-level resource support for the futures business, it has become increasingly clear that the turnaround from user feedback to product iteration is getting faster.

The Next Phase of Capacity Building for Futures Trading

Looking ahead to 2026, the strategic direction of HTX Futures remains clear and focused – continuous product refinement, optimization of liquidity structures, improvements in capital efficiency, and deeper strengthening of risk-control frameworks to further solidify the foundational capabilities of the futures business. On this basis, an especially significant shift is now taking shape: exploring ways to return greater proactive risk-management control to users.

In YOYO’s view, the platform’s responsibility extends beyond providing users with robust systems and baseline safety protections. Through product and mechanism design, it should also equip users with mature, clear, and actionable risk-management tools, enabling them to actively participate in managing their own trading risks with a full understanding of potential risks. This also means that, on top of existing system security and risk-control frameworks, HTX Futures will help users establish more transparent and controllable risk-management pathways, so that risk control is no longer a passive outcome, but an integral part of trading decision-making.

Apparently, HTX Futures’ strategy goes beyond scale expansion, pointing instead toward a more mature trading infrastructure and a more clearly defined risk-management paradigm.

From system-level product reconstruction to an evolution in risk-control philosophy, HTX Futures is seeking to answer a longer-term question: in a highly volatile crypto market, how can more users participate in futures trading in a more controlled, rational manner, and ultimately realize long-term value? This, perhaps, is where its true competitive edge in the next phase will lie.
