QUINEAR Unveils Two Next-Generation Recovery Systems for Black Friday: The Cordless QN-090A and the Clinical-Inspired QN-071A

NEW YORK, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As Black Friday approaches and demand for intelligent recovery solutions continues to rise, QUINEAR announces the launch of two breakthrough leg-compression systems — the QN-090A and QN-071A. Together, they mark a new chapter in QUINEAR’s mission to make clinical-grade recovery accessible, portable, and tailored to the needs of modern athletes and wellness-focused consumers.

In a season defined by personal resets and performance goals, QUINEAR delivers the tools that support deeper restoration and smarter training — just in time for holiday deals.


The QN-090A:Freedom Engineered for Modern Athletes

Born from precision. Built for motion.
The QN-090A represents QUINEAR’s most advanced leap in intelligent, cordless compression therapy. Designed for users who want full recovery without the limitations of tubing or outlets, the system transforms the recovery experience into something effortless, portable, and performance-driven.

360° Professional Compression, Completely Re-Engineered
A patented overlapping air-chamber architecture wraps the entire leg in a seamless pressure gradient, delivering smooth, upward compression waves that promote circulation, reduce fatigue, and support faster muscle repair.

Cordless Freedom for Life on the Move
Equipped with a 2500 mAh battery, the QN-090A delivers up to 4 hours of wireless operation per charge — long enough for a full week of recovery sessions. A compact travel case makes it ideal for athletes who frequently train, travel, and compete.

Smart Control with Fully Personalized Performance
With 12 intensity levels (40–150 mmHg), 3 massage modes, and adjustable 15–to 60–minute timers, the device adapts instantly to user preferences through an intuitive digital interface.

FDA Cleared & FSA/HSA Eligible
Ensuring medical-grade safety and verified performance.

The QN-071A:Professional Sequential Compression Made Personal

When recovery becomes the new performance edge.
The QN-071A continues QUINEAR’s legacy of science-driven engineering, offering a clinically inspired sequential compression system designed to replicate the precision of professional recovery rooms — now optimized for home use.

Inside Science
The QN-071A uses four independent air chambers that inflate rhythmically from foot to thigh, mimicking the body’s natural “muscle pump.” This wave-like flow supports:

  • Enhanced circulation
  • Lymphatic drainage
  • Lactic-acid clearance
  • Noticeable reduction in leg heaviness

As one user — a triathlete — shared:
“It feels like walking out of a physio session. Powerful, yet incredibly relaxing.”

Smart Calibration for Everybody
An integrated pressure sensor automatically adjusts to leg size and optimal pressure, offering:

  • 8 intensity levels (50–120 mmHg)
  • 3 massage programs: Sequential / Circulation / Combination
  • 3 auto timers: 20 / 25 / 30 minutes

Engineered for Athletes. Designed for Everyone.
While athletes use it for muscle recovery, office workers and older adults turn to the QN-071A for daily circulation and leg wellness.

FDA 510(k) Cleared & FSA/HSA Eligible
Meeting medical-device standards trusted by clinicians.


Two Systems. Two Needs. One Purpose.
Recovery, Reimagined for the Season Ahead.

Together, the QN-090A and QN-071A offer a complete recovery ecosystem:

  • QN-090A for cordless freedom, high mobility, and personalized intensity
  • QN-071A for professional sequential therapy and daily leg wellness

Designed for different lifestyles and recovery patterns, both devices anchor QUINEAR’s belief that recovery isn’t a pause — it’s progress.

Black Friday Exclusive
To celebrate the holiday season, both the QN-090A and QN-071A are available at special Black Friday pricing on Amazon for a limited time.

About QUINEAR
QUINEAR is a global leader in intelligent recovery solutions, integrating medical-grade engineering with modern ergonomic design. Through advanced compression systems and wellness technology, QUINEAR empowers athletes, professionals, and everyday individuals to move freely, recover effectively, and live stronger.

Amber International Holding Limited Announces $50 Million Share Repurchase Program Following Strong Q3 Earnings

Board Authorization Underscores Confidence in Strong Business Momentum and Financial Position

SINGAPORE, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amber International Holding Limited (Nasdaq: AMBR) (“Amber International,” “our,” or the “Company”), a global leading digital wealth management platform and operating under the brand name “Amber Premium”, today announced its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to USD $50 million of the Company’s outstanding American Depositary Shares (ADS) over the next 12 months, commencing December 1, 2025.

The announcement follows the Company’s exceptional third-quarter 2025 performance, which demonstrated strong operational momentum across all business segments with revenue of US$16.3 million, gross profit of US$11.8 million, and a significant turnaround in operating profitability from continuing operations from -4% in Q2 to +8% in Q3.

“This share repurchase program reflects our Board’s unwavering confidence in Amber Premium’s market position and growth trajectory,” said Michael Wu, Chairman and CEO of Amber International Holding Limited. “Our Q3 results validate our strategic focus on institutional and high-net-worth clients, with client assets on our platform surging nearly 70% year-over-year and our cumulative KYC’ed user base expanding over 20%. With execution and payment trading volumes totaled approximately US$3.1 billion in Q3 2025, and our operating margin now firmly in positive territory, we believe the market does not fully recognize our business fundamentals or long-term growth potential.”

Strong Business Fundamentals Drive Capital Return Initiative

The buyback program is supported by robust business fundamentals:

  • Exceptional Growth Metrics: 69.8% year-over-year increase in Client Assets on Platform and 20.4% growth in cumulative KYC’ed institutional and high-net-worth clients, now totaling 5,116.
  • Revenue Diversification: Wealth Management Solutions led performance at US$7.5 million in Q3, complemented by strong contributions from Execution Solutions (US$3.2 million), Marketing & Enterprise Solutions (US$4.4 million), and Payment Solutions (US$1.2 million).
  • Market Leadership: Serving sophisticated institutional clients across Asia, backed by 8+ years of digital asset expertise.
  • Strategic Positioning: First Asia-based public company with tokenized shares available on-chain, pioneering institutional adoption of digital assets across Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, and Dubai.

“We’re executing this program from a position of operational and financial strength,” Wu continued. “Our diversified revenue streams, institutional-grade infrastructure, and proven ability to capture market share in Asia’s rapidly growing digital asset ecosystem position us to both return capital to shareholders and continue investing aggressively in our growth initiatives.”

Program Details and Implementation

The company will fund repurchases through operating cash flow and existing cash balances while maintaining ample liquidity for strategic investments in product innovation, RWA initiatives, and AI-powered financial solutions. The timing and amount of repurchases will be determined based on market conditions, share price, and regulatory requirements.

The share repurchase program may be executed through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other methods in compliance with applicable securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The program does not obligate the company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time.

By lowering the investment threshold, the Kingdom seeks to stimulate growth within the real estate sector and enable more foreign investors to benefit from Bahrain’s high living standards and attractive property offerings. This aligns with national efforts to promote sustainable investment, support economic growth, and attract international talent seeking stability and opportunities within the GCC region.

The announcement coincides with Bahrain’s hosting of the “Cityscape” exhibition, further underscoring the Kingdom’s role in supporting a dynamic regional and local real estate market recognised for innovation and sustainable value creation.

His Excellency Shaikh Hisham bin Abdulrahman Al Khalifa, Undersecretary for Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs, highlighted the significance of this change, stating that “reducing real estate investment requirements reflects Bahrain’s commitment to fostering an enabling environment for global investors seeking stability and long-term opportunities in the region.” His Excellency went on to state that the update “enhances the competitiveness of the Golden Residency Program while preserving its exclusivity and ensuring its continued ability to attract foreign investors.”

Under the current program, the Golden Residency is granted to property owners and those who have worked in Bahrain for at least five years with an average monthly salary exceeding BHD 2,000 (USD 5,306). The scheme also applies to retirees who have worked in Bahrain for a minimum of 15 years and receive an average monthly pension of at least BHD 2,000, as well as non-resident retirees with an average monthly pension exceeding BHD 4,000 (USD 10,624).

The Golden Residency is additionally offered to talented individuals such as entrepreneurs, highly skilled professionals, and those who make significant contributions to the national economy or society.

The Golden Residency provides holders with long-term residency, ease of establishing businesses, multiple-entry privileges, and the ability to sponsor family members. The updated investment threshold further strengthens Bahrain’s position as one of the region’s most open, and attractive destinations for investors, reinforcing its reputation as a location for high-net-worth individuals and professionals seeking a welcoming environment and high quality of life.
