The Best Price For Buying USDT In Taiwan, and Investing In Cryptocurrencies Without Burden
TAIWAN – Media OutReach – 18 April 2023 – On April 14, HOYA BIT App, the most friendly cryptocurrency exchange in Taiwan, was launched. It is now available on both App Store and Google Play, providing users with multiple channels for cryptocurrency trading, bringing them a more convenient, intuitive and secure cryptocurrency trading experience. HOYA BIT celebrates the launch of the app and offers a 2-month campaign with free handling fees for cryptocurrency transactions and the best deal for USDT purchases, allowing users to trade cryptocurrency at any time and seize every investment opportunity.
HOYA BIT is based on three core concepts”Intuitive and easy to use, stable and profitable, legal and compliant”. The main menu of the App is designed to allow users to find all the functions with just one click, and it takes less than 5 minutes from registration to identity verification and can be easily operated with one hand. The asset interface is graphically presented, allowing users to manage their assets in a clear and precise manner.
In addition, the App provides intuitive cryptocurrency stock quote, allowing users to keep abreast of the cryptocurrency market trends; and with the highly efficient cryptocurrency trading system, users can experience the pleasure of instant trading. HOYA BIT has also prepared the financial strategies, which is also the main concern for investors. The easy process on the app allows you to enjoy the lazy investment philosophy of coin generation. And in order to protect the safety of users, the app has set up a password for funds. When users make withdrawals or withdraw coins, they need to enter their own password for authentication. This multi-layered mechanism protects the security of the user’s assets and allows investors to confidently use the HOYA BIT cryptocurrency exchange.
To celebrate the launch of HOYA BIT APP on two platforms, HOYA BIT is launching a 2-month galas. From April 14 to June 14, users who trade cryptocurrencies on the HOYA BIT exchange can enjoy free handling fees, which means investors can trade at a lower cost and control their costs more effectively without worrying about the profits.
If you are still waiting and not sure if you want to enter the cryptocurrency market, then don’t miss this opportunity. HOYA BIT is offering the best USDT purchase price in Taiwan (limited to 1,000,000 USDT per day) for users who register and reach Level 2. Investors can buy more USDT at a cheaper price when trading cryptocurrency, thus reducing the overall transaction cost. The celebration is very sincere, and we hope to feedback to the users who support HOYA BIT.
HOYA BIT launched the App and celebrated with a site-wide transaction without handling fees and the best USDT price in Taiwan, in the hope of getting more petty investors to trade cryptocurrencies. And it will continue to uphold its core concept, work hard to improve the user experience and develop new functions to make cryptocurrency trading more convenient and real-time for investors, and to create a portal to the new financial world.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 18 April 2023 – A Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU)-led team has discovered a new species of box jellyfish in the Mai Po Nature Reserve in Hong Kong. The new jellyfish species, which belongs to the family Tripedaliidae, was named Tripedalia maipoensis by the research team. It is the first discovery of a new box jellyfish species from the waters of China. The discovery also adds a fourth species to the Tripedaliidae family.
The research team is led by Professor Qiu Jianwen, a Professor of the Department of Biology at HKBU (middle). Other team members include Dr Carmen Or, Manager, Wetland Research, WWF-Hong Kong (2nd from right); Ms Ringo Cheung, Associate Animal Care Specialist, Ocean Park Hong Kong (1st from left); and Mr Justin Tsui, Graduate of the University of Manchester (1st from right). Mr Philip Wong, General Curator, Ocean Park Hong Kong (2nd from left) shares how the Park rears the jellyfish at the press conference.
A paper describing the new species has been published in the international academic journal Zoological Studies.
Box jellyfish named after Mai Po
The research team was led by Professor Qiu Jianwen, a Professor of the Department of Biology at HKBU. With collaborators from WWF-Hong Kong, Ocean Park Hong Kong and the University of Manchester, the team collected the jellyfish samples from a brackish shrimp pond, locally called “gei wai“, in the Mai Po Nature Reserve during the summers of 2020 to 2022, and they found that the samples contained a new species.
Professor Qiu said: “We named the new species Tripedalia maipoensis to reflect its type locality – where the new species was first found. Although it is currently known only in Mai Po, we believe that this species is also distributed in the adjacent waters of the Pearl River Estuary as the gei wais are connected to the estuary through a tidal channel.”
Fourth species of the family Tripedaliidae
Named for its cube-shaped body, the box jellyfish, (or scientifically known as class Cubozoa) belong to the phylum Cnidaria. Even though the class Cubozoa is one of the smaller groups among the cnidarians, it includes some of the highly venomous marine animals that are widely known in the tropical waters.
The newly discovered Tripedalia maipoensis belongs to the family Tripedaliidae. It is the fourth described species of Tripedaliidae, and the third described species of the genus Tripedalia around the world. It has a transparent and colourless body with an average length of 1.5 cm. There are three tentacles that are up to 10 cm long at each of its four corners. Pedalia, a flat pedal-shaped structure at the base of each tentacle that looks like a boat paddle, allows box jellyfish to produce strong thrusts when they contract their bodies. They can thus swim faster than other kinds of jellyfish.
The box jellyfish with 24 eyes
Like other box jellyfish, Tripedalia maipoensis has 24 eyes. The 24 eyes are equally divided into four groups, and each group of six eyes is located inside a sensory depression called a rhopalium on each side of the bell. In each group of eyes, the researchers believe that two of them have lenses that enable image-forming, while the other four can only sense light.
Box jellyfish are also characterised by having a velarium, a membranous and muscular sheet that constricts the opening of the bell. There are canals in the velarium which run along the bell margins and allow water to enter the bell. In the new species, the velarial canals are biforked into multi-branches, which distinguishes them from other species of the same genus.
First discovery of new box jellyfish species in Chinese waters
The research team compared samples of Tripedalia maipoensis with those of other closely related species using morphological and molecular methods.
It was discovered that the new species exhibits greater diversity compared to Tripedalia cystophora – its closely related species that have been widely reported in the tropics and subtropics including Jamaica, Florida, Singapore, Australia, and India.
Professor Qiu said: “Box jellyfish are a small group of cnidarians with only 49 species reported worldwide. They are poorly known in Chinese marine waters. Our discovery of Tripedalia maipoensis in Mai Po – a relatively well-studied area in Hong Kong – highlights the rich diversity of marine life in Hong Kong and even the whole of China.”

58 percent of companies surveyed say ESG is critical to the long-term success of their business
Only 29 percent of companies surveyed include ESG-related goals and key performance indicators for their C-suite
34 percent of companies surveyed have a dedicated ESG function
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 18 April 2023 – Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today released its 2023 Asia Pacific Corporate Governance and ESG Survey Results which found that while the surveyed companies indicate environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are critical to their organisations, most are lagging in integrating ESG measures – either via aligning to goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) or allocating a dedicated function to monitor ESG issues.
Despite 58 percent of surveyed companies stating ESG is critical to their long-term success, only 29 percent include ESG-related goals and KPIs for their C-suite, with most companies in Asia Pacific still in the early stages of using ESG metrics and developing their ESG profile.
While only 34 percent of companies reported having a dedicated ESG function, business strategy – instead of compliance requirements – is the primary driver of action on ESG in Asia Pacific, as the regulatory environment is still evolving in most of the surveyed countries.
Linking ESG to financial incentives is needed
Accelerating and expanding ESG efforts requires boards and management in the region to better understand the link between ESG and business strategies and use metrics and performance measures as their ESG maturity improves.
“Incorporating ESG performance criteria into executive compensation plans means ESG metrics are more likely to align with the company’s overall strategy and compensation plans. It is becoming clear that failing to address and integrate ESG metrics in the future will expose companies to reputational risk, financial impacts and regulatory consequences as they navigate new forms of volatility,” said report author Boon Chong Na, advisory partner and corporate governance and ESG lead, Human Capital Solutions for Asia Pacific at Aon. “However, while improving ESG metrics, companies need to manage both the financial and non-financial aspects, as shareholders expect them to do well while also doing the right thing.”
Compared with privately held companies, listed companies are twice as likely (48 percent) to have clearly defined ESG metrics and to link them to C-suite performance.
Partner and Head of People Solutions for Australia at Aon, Simon Kennedy, said while difficult to make the transition to linking metrics depending on where listed or private companies are in the process of their ESG journey and with some markets ahead of others in the region, it is no longer enough to commit to targets that are not tied to either a financial incentive or disincentive.
“The first step is to align ESG targets with business strategies and goals. Companies can retain their existing measures, no matter how simple, and enhance them as they move forward. Ideally, ESG targets need to be as measurable as financial targets, preferably using audited numbers based on established standards,” said Kennedy.
Board education also key to integrating ESG
While 61 percent of respondents reported that they involve their entire board in decisions concerning ESG, 41 percent do not have a formal process or training program in place to educate board members about contemporary ESG topics.
“Among survey participants, most companies currently conduct only one or two education sessions on ESG per year for their boards. Whilst directors are expected to be deeply involved in developing and overseeing ESG strategy, training is required to ensure board members are adequately informed and capable of making sound judgements about the ESG risks and opportunities under their governance,” said Kennedy.
Green talent becoming a priority
Another key factor that emerged in the report is the issue of green talent, as nearly one-third of surveyed companies plan to introduce or expand ESG roles, with 76 percent of positions being hired at the mid-professional level.
“Companies will need to embark on job redesign and upskilling initiatives and invest in their talent to meet this growing demand, either through external university programs, micro-credentials, sustainability certifications or internally managed employee training. A comprehensive talent strategy is essential to keep businesses competitive, and a robust workforce reskilling program can help build a more resilient workforce, enhancing the potential of existing employees even if external talent pools are shrinking,” said Na.
Further key findings from the report include:
25 percent of private companies and 50 percent of listed companies have a dedicated ESG team.
30 per cent of new initiatives in 2023 involve re-skilling or upskilling the workforce on ESG.
61 percent of boards are actively monitoring diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I).
“In Asia Pacific, companies around the region are taking steps to improve their performance on ESG, either to become more attractive to investors or as an aspirational endeavour unrelated to regulatory requirements. It is not a homogenous market, though countries such as Australia and Singapore are ahead of the curve in terms of ESG maturity,” concluded Na. “To achieve ESG improvement, companies need to learn from best practices across the region and extend their ESG thinking and behaviours beyond the boardroom so that they make better decisions that permeate the entire organisation. Integrating financial incentives and a greater focus on education, together with enabling technologies and analytics, reinforced by converging ESG standards, will ensure companies are not left behind as improved ESG performance gains pace in the region.”

The Clean Vehicle Rebate Project recently added the VinFast VF 8 electric SUV to its list of eligible vehicles, providing up to $7,500 for VinFast customers
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – Media OutReach – 17 April 2023 – VinFast, the world’s first automaker to completely transition from an internal combustion past to an all-electric vehicle future, today announced the VF 8 eSUV has been approved for eligibility in the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The addition of the VF 8 to the CVRP list of eligible vehicles means VinFast customers in California who buy or lease a new VF 8 will be able to apply for a CVRP rebate of $2,000 to $7,500.
The CVRP applies to all VF 8s sold or leased in California, retroactively from March of this year. Eligible customers in California can apply for the rebate via the CVRP website.
Receiving CARB eligibility approval of the VF 8 allows the model to qualify for inclusion in several other state incentive programs administered by the Center for Sustainable Energy including: Oregon, Vermont, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. In addition, the VF 8 and VF 9 have also been officially added to the list of vehicles eligible for California’s Clean Air Vehicle Decal Program which grants free HOV lane access for zero-emission vehicles.
Ms. Van Anh Nguyen, CEO of VinFast North America said, “State incentives like the CVRP help VinFast enhance its competitiveness in the key North American market. The incentives also help motivate customers to quickly transition to electric vehicles. I believe that, with VinFast’s product quality, competitive sales policies and state incentive programs, VinFast electric vehicles will become a popular choice, further accelerating the movement to smart and green mobility.”
Administered by the Center for Sustainable Energy on behalf of CARB, the CVRP promotes equitable clean vehicle adoption in California by offering eligible customers rebates from $2,000 to $7,500 toward the purchase or lease of new zero-emission vehicles, including electric, plug-in hybrid electric and fuel cell vehicles. According to CVRP data, California is currently the leading state in electric vehicle adoption nationwide with more plugin electric vehicles on its roads than any other state.
VinFast’s second EV batch exported to North America, including 1,879 VF 8 standard models, left MPC Port (Hai Phong, Vietnam) on April 16. It is expected to arrive at Benicia Port, California in May. The shipment includes 1,098 VF 8s for the U.S. market that are also eligible for CVRP for California customers.
VinFast customers purchasing or leasing a new VF 8 can apply and learn about the individual eligibility requirements for the CVRP rebate at https://cleanvehiclerebate.org
