MINISH USA highlights a restorative approach centered on preserving natural tooth structure.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Conversations around cosmetic dentistry are evolving as patients become more informed about treatment options, tooth preparation, and long-term outcomes. Recent social media and consumer discussions reflect growing interest in how aesthetic dental treatment may affect natural teeth over time. More broadly, these conversations are placing greater emphasis on informed decision-making, appropriate case selection, and treatment approaches tailored to individual needs.

For MINISH USA, this growing awareness aligns with a restorative philosophy that considers tooth preservation alongside aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Why Tooth Preservation Matters  

Because natural enamel does not regenerate once removed, preserving healthy tooth structure is an important factor when evaluating restorative options. As patients look beyond immediate cosmetic results, the long-term impact of treatment on their natural teeth is also becoming a greater consideration.

How MINISH Approaches Tooth Restoration

Developed around a biomimetic restorative philosophy, the MINISH Protocol focuses on preserving healthy natural tooth structure while restoring the form, appearance, and function of teeth.

Rather than following a fixed amount of tooth reduction, treatment is planned according to each tooth’s condition, position, shape, and restorative needs. The protocol combines conservative preparation with digital workflows, precision manufacturing, biomimetic restorative materials, and collaboration between clinicians and dental technicians.

Within the broader treatment spectrum, MINISH provides a restorative approach for cases in which preserving healthy tooth structure is an important clinical consideration. The approach emphasizes balancing aesthetics, function, and preservation according to individual clinical needs.

A Broader Conversation Around Aesthetic Dentistry

As patients become more informed, expectations around aesthetic and restorative dentistry are expanding beyond immediate cosmetic improvement. Tooth preservation, natural-looking outcomes, and long-term oral health are becoming increasingly relevant when patients evaluate treatment options.

For MINISH USA, this changing conversation reinforces the importance of considering aesthetic improvement and preservation of natural tooth structure together as part of a comprehensive restorative philosophy.

This philosophy is also reflected in MINISH’s efforts in the U.S. market. Through MINISH Courses, standardized treatment protocols, advanced dental technology, and the growing MINISH Provider Network, MINISH USA is introducing its tooth-preserving restorative approach to more dental professionals across the United States. 

As conversations around cosmetic dentistry continue to evolve, the question is no longer only, “How will my smile look?” An equally important question is: “How much of my natural tooth can be preserved?” Together, these considerations point toward a more comprehensive approach that balances aesthetics, function, and preservation of natural tooth structure.

About MINISH USA Inc.

MINISH USA Inc. represents MINISH Technology in the North American market and supports the expansion of the MINISH ecosystem through clinical education, Provider development, advanced dental technology, and collaboration with dental professionals. MINISH is built around a biomimetic restorative philosophy focused on preserving natural tooth structure while restoring the appearance and function of teeth.

DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mantle, the open financial network connecting global market participants to institutional-grade capital market assets on-chain, today announced the expansion of Mantle Vault into decentralised finance, built with Grove infrastructure, CIAN, and accessible through Fluxion. The launch extends Mantle Vault beyond its existing centralised finance footprint on Bybit, where it has already crossed $200 million in assets under management, into a new deposit-and-earn product open to any stablecoin holder.

From CeFi to DeFi: Mantle Vault Opens to All

The expansion follows Mantle’s continued momentum in real-world assets, with RWA TVL growing from $22 million to $257 million in a year and DeFi TVL exceeding $755 million. This marks the next stage of Mantle’s thesis that institutional-grade assets should be reachable by any market participant, not only the institutions and exchanges that first brought them on-chain.

The expanded Mantle Vault allows users to deposit $USDC and $USDT0 on Mantle to access variable yield generated by the underlying strategy. The strategy includes exposure to sUSDS, Sky Protocol’s yield-bearing token, alongside Fluxion Points. Built by CIAN in coordination with Grove, the vault follows a conservative, non-leveraged structure with transparency into the underlying strategy.

Mantle is also introducing a dedicated incentive programme of 5.14 million GROVE tokens, targeting up to 6.5% APY. Programme terms, duration and rates may vary based on market conditions, and incentives are not guaranteed.

“Mantle Vault started as a product built for Bybit’s user base. Its expansion into DeFi through Grove, CIAN, and Fluxion shows what an open financial network is meant to do: connect global market participants to institutional-grade capital market assets, wherever they are,” said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle and Spot Executive at Bybit.

Grove: Bringing Institutional Grade Economy onto Mantle

Within Mantle Vault, Grove provides the capital foundation through Grove Savings, the on-chain interface to the Sky Savings Rate. The Sky Savings Rate is set by Sky governance and delivered by the Sky Agent Network, an independent network of capital allocators competing across diversified, governance-approved yield strategies through Sky Protocol.

“We’re happy to bring Grove to Mantle. Grove supports the ecosystem by bringing Grove Savings, the on-chain interface to the Sky Savings Rate, a rate set by Sky governance. Partners like Mantle, CIAN, and Fluxion help make institutional-grade on-chain strategies accessible to more users.” said Kevin Chan, Co-Founder of Grove. 

CIAN: Translating Institutional Portfolio Construction into a Non-Custodial Product

CIAN built the original Mantle Vault on Bybit. That track record now extends into DeFi, with CIAN translating institutional-grade portfolio construction into a single, non-custodial product on top of the sUSDS exposure provided by Grove.

“At CIAN, we translate institutional-grade portfolio construction into transparent, non-custodial yield infrastructure. Together with Grove, Mantle, and Fluxion, we are making capital-preservation-first strategies easier for stablecoin holders to access,” said Luffy, Founder of CIAN.

Fluxion: The Liquidity Layer for Stablecoin Holders on Mantle

Fluxion provides the liquidity layer for the expanded Mantle Vault, giving stablecoin holders on Mantle access to the product and connecting deposits to Fluxion Points as an added benefit.

As the Mantle-native DEX for RWA distribution, Fluxion combines hybrid AMM/RFQ trading with xStocks’ xChange, giving users direct access to tokenized equity trading and supporting liquidity across Mantle’s RWA ecosystem.

Fluxion previously expanded its Earn offering with RWAIpha and now adds Mantle Vault to the lineup, giving users access not only to RWA token trading but also to the underlying infrastructure supporting these assets.

“Partnering with Grove and CIAN to introduce a stablecoin vault on Mantle marks a strong start for our Earn product. Together, we look forward to making Mantle the leading hub for real-world assets,” said Sham, CMO at Fluxion.

Borderless Access to Institutional-Grade Yield

The expansion of Mantle Vault from CeFi into DeFi  brings together four organisations around a single objective: making institutional-grade yield accessible to any stablecoin holder, without geographic restrictions or intermediary gatekeeping. Grove provides the capital foundation, CIAN the yield infrastructure, and Fluxion the liquidity layer, each composable within Mantle’s open financial network. As Mantle continues to expand the range of institutional-grade assets and strategies accessible on-chain, Mantle Vault represents the clearest demonstration yet of what an open financial network is built to deliver.

About Mantle

Mantle is the open financial network powering borderless access to global capital markets, connecting global market participants to institutional-grade capital market assets on-chain. Mantle brings the full lifecycle of real-world assets on-chain, from issuance and liquidity to distribution and settlement, spanning tokenized equities, treasury yield, private credit, commodities, and money markets. Anchored by one of the largest community-owned treasuries in the industry, Mantle combines credibility, deep liquidity, and institutional-grade infrastructure to support real-world finance on-chain.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Londian Wason New Energy Technology Group (NYSE: FOIL), a global manufacturer of electrodeposited copper foil for electric vehicle batteries and printed circuit boards, completed its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange on August 12, 2026. With an operating history spanning more than two decades, the company’s strategic value is being redefined as the global computing race shifts from chip performance to upstream critical materials.

Investors signaled strong confidence in the industry leader on its trading debut. Londian Wason’s shares opened higher and surged to an intraday peak of $28.49 before closing at $24.50. The stock posted an 11.36% gain on its first day of trading.

As mainland Chinese manufacturers shift production toward high-end HVLP and ultra-thin foils, Londian Wason is positioned at the intersection of two structural growth drivers: global clean-energy electrification and AI computing infrastructure expansion. Markets frequently label the company strictly as a “battery materials supplier”. This label understates Londian Wason’s core strength in precision manufacturing of advanced copper-based materials, covering both ultra-thin lithium-ion battery foils and low-roughness PCB foils. Such manufacturing capability has taken on heightened strategic value in the AI era. Goldman Sachs projects demand for HVLP copper foil to expand at a 97% compound annual growth rate, with AI-server-driven demand jumping more than sixfold between 2025 and 2028. Londian Wason’s proprietary HVLP foil achieves a surface roughness below 0.6μm, while its RTF foil registers under 1.5μm, supplying 5G communications, AI servers, and high-speed data centers. Meanwhile, rising global EV adoption and energy‑storage deployments continue to anchor baseline demand for lithium‑battery copper foil. Benefiting from dual growth curves—a stable base in electrification alongside high-margin upside from AI infrastructure—Londian Wason has expanded its top-line revenue and bottom-line profits, driving a valuation re-rating from a traditional materials supplier toward a core technology hardware supply chain play.

Londian Wason enters this upcycle with a strong financial profile. In 2025, the company topped global lithium‑ion battery copper‑foil sales at 111,985 metric tons. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, revenue rose 113.71% year-over-year to RMB 4.07 billion, while net profit reached RMB 134.5 million. While the broader copper foil sector has rebounded from its downturn, Londian Wason outperforms regional peers on both scale and profitability. South Korea’s Lotte Energy Materials posted Q1 2026 revenue of KRW 159.8 billion (up 1.2% YoY) and remained in an operating loss. Solus Advanced Materials recorded Q1 revenue of KRW 192.6 billion (up 22.2% YoY) but also stayed unprofitable. In Japan, Mitsui Mining & Smelting generated JPY 21.0 billion in Q1 copper foil sales—up 37.1% YoY on AI-driven PCB demand—though group-wide growth remained limited. Londian Wason’s market leading position and global operational footprint allow it to maximize capacity utilization and benefit materially from the cyclical industry recovery.

Behind these financial results lies a high barrier to entry rooted in precision manufacturing. Electrolytic copper foil production involves dozens of chemical and physical processes, including additive formulations, solution purification, current density control, and surface modification. Over years of high-volume production, Londian Wason has accumulated proprietary process parameters and formulas which cannot be easily replicated through capital expenditure alone. These strengths secure its long‑term advantages in production yield and product consistency.

Meanwhile, Londian Wason has built a top-tier global client ecosystem with key partners including LG Energy Solution, Panasonic Industrial Devices, and Samsung SDI. Londian Wason has partnered with LG for over a decade, earning its “S-Class Supplier” designation in 2024. It also maintains a 12-year supply relationship with Panasonic, a core partner in NVIDIA’s high-performance computing supply chain. Deep integration within global computing and new-energy networks made an NYSE listing a natural strategic step, granting direct access to international capital and multinational clients. What supports this global expansion is a sector-leading annual design capacity of 180,500 metric tons as of year-end 2025 across seven domestic production bases, capable of supplying a full spectrum of battery and PCB foils. For Londian Wason, the NYSE listing is more than a financing milestone. It marks a key step toward deeper overseas local‑capacity build‑outs and strengthens its global‑competitive position across both international capital and industrial landscapes.

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Proof-of-Work mining becomes increasingly dependent on specialized hardware, energy resources and professional operations, direct participation remains out of reach for many individual users. KuMining, the cloud mining platform powered by global cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin, today announced the launch of KAS Cloud Mining, further expanding its multi-asset mining ecosystem and providing eligible users with a simpler way to access professional KAS mining infrastructure.

KAS is the native asset of Kaspa, a Proof-of-Work blockDAG network. As new KAS enters circulation through mining, access to hashrate allows users to participate in the network’s block production and security process, offering an alternative to purchasing the asset directly on the secondary market.

With KAS mining now primarily reliant on specialized ASIC hardware, users would otherwise need to purchase and transport equipment, secure suitable power and hosting, configure mining pools, and manage ongoing maintenance. KuMining brings these operational requirements together in a streamlined cloud mining experience, creating an accessible path between buying KAS and operating a physical mining setup.

Eligible users can select contracts ranging from 7 to 360 days and receive variable daily KAS mining output based on their purchased hashrate and applicable product rules. The pool-based model provides a more continuous and observable experience than probability-based solo mining, while removing the need to own or operate mining equipment.

KAS Cloud Mining also adopts KuMining’s “mine first, pay electricity later” model. Users pay the applicable hashrate fee upfront, while electricity charges are settled over time. This reduces initial cash requirements and provides greater cash-flow flexibility, without implying lower total mining costs.

“Mining should be accessible to anyone who wants to participate, not limited to those with the resources to purchase and operate specialized equipment,” said Jolie Du, Chief Operating Officer of KuMining. “By introducing KAS Cloud Mining, we are giving more users a simpler path into professional Proof-of-Work mining while taking another step in the expansion of KuMining’s multi-asset ecosystem. Our goal is to connect professional infrastructure with everyday users through a transparent and integrated experience.”

Integrated with KuCoin, KuMining enables users to receive and manage mining output without navigating separate mining pools, wallets and exchanges. The launch further extends KuMining’s Trade → Earn → Mine journey and reinforces its role as an accessible gateway to professional mining infrastructure.

KAS Cloud Mining is now available to eligible users here.

About KuMining

KuMining is a leading cloud mining platform developed by KuCoin, one of the world’s top cryptocurrency exchanges. Dedicated to democratizing mining, KuMining offers secure, efficient hashrate services to users globally, backed by cutting-edge infrastructure and seamless integration with KuCoin’s ecosystem.
