OctaFX broker soon to launch own trading platform ‘OctaTrader’

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 5 October 2022 – After long months of behind-closed-doors technical development, the international Forex broker OctaFX finally announced its soon-to-be-launched native trading platform, OctaTrader. The much-anticipated inauguration will take place in the following months.

What to expect from the OctaTrader platform?

The OctaTrader platform is an entirely in-house project. The developers have paid particular attention to both appearance and functionality. Therefore the platform has a user-friendly interface and performs quickly and smoothly.

The platform’s primary purpose is to enable users to trade, deal with their account and money management, have a diverse range of tools for investment decision-making and analyse their trading—all within the same application.

The platform will be available for mobile users using iOS and Android devices as well as for web traders.

At the moment, the users in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore can already test the trading functionality and user-friendliness of the interface. In the next few months, the company expects to deliver the full functionality of the platform, and users worldwide will be able to try out a demo account themselves.

Maintaining its very own trading platform is in the company’s very best interest—to continue its streak of reliability, effectiveness, and transparency in providing its services. Looking back at 11 years of success, market expectations favour OctaFX’s chances of further achievement in that regard.

OctaTrader perfectly aligns with its company’s values

All of the above-mentioned aspects conform to OctaFX’s value framework. Upholding transparency—especially in the developmental stage—was vital in preparing the path for OctaTrader. Clients are being involved in the process. It is this mixture of data-driven and client-centred approaches that raise the probability of later success.

In that sense, the very first step was to find out if there would even be a significant demand for a native trading platform among OctaFX clients. The answer was a resounding ‘yes’—upon which enthusiastic development began.

The broker is long known for not hiding its avid focus on the clients’ investment goals. Helping to reach these objectives has been a crucial OctaFX value from the very start. Launching the fresh OctaTrader will be a new, deciding chapter in this company’s journey to further assist clients in their investment plans.

Although the upcoming trading platform is not yet ready for launch, this same commitment to transparency leads to the joyful announcement of its soon arrival in the first place. So keep an eye out for further updates.

Tainan City Bureau of Tourism gets ready for the recovery of Tourism in Tainan – Taiwan TV series “Someday or One Day” Shooting Location generates lots of discussion in Malaysia

TAINAN, TAIWAN – Media OutReach – 5 October 2022 – At the end of 2019, the Taiwanese TV series “Someday or One Day” was broadcasted in various Asian countries and it created a wave of nostalgia for Tainan in the 1990s. There was a lot of discussion amongst the fans when the Series was being filmed in Tainan, and with the upcoming remake, the Tainan City Bureau of Tourism used the historical and cultural attractions of the Series to create advertisements in South Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia. Advertisements were featured on the 3 East Penang bus routes of Rapid Penang, which passes through the capital of George Town to prepare for the recovery of tourism in Tainan.

Tainan, located in the southern part of Taiwan, is where everything started for Taiwan and has a long history and culture, and the City is also named by Michelin as a “food capital.” Tainan is only 80 minutes on the HSR from Taoyuan International Airport, and only a 50-minute drive from Kaohsiung International Airport.

Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che said that Tainan is the capital of tourism and the city has been actively making improvements to match international tourism. Even with the impact of COVID-19, Tainan is still one of the few cities with improving tourism. Kuo Chen-hui, director of Tainan City Bureau of Tourism, said that Tainan is a historic capital of food, as Penang is, that has plenty of history and culture, and its popular delicacies have generated plenty of international discussion, and the City will definitely stimulate the palates and eyes of visitors from Penang. With Tainan’s recreational and agricultural tourism being quite developed and liked by Malay/Singaporean Chinese, they account for 70% of foreign tourists experiencing Tainan’s farms every year as the recreational farms have intellectual and practical activities to stimulate their senses. Business visas are already available to visitors, and Taiwan will soon issue tourism visas. To promote the tourism of the City, the Tainan City Government has not only worked hard to promote its tourism online, but also cooperates with various Asian countries’ big cities to promote Tainan, showcase the beautiful city, and welcome tourists once the borders have been reopened.

Oasys Forms Strategic Partnership with tofuNFT to Expand its Gaming Ecosystem

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 5 October 2022 – Oasys, a blockchain developed specifically for the gaming community, today announced a strategic partnership with tofuNFT, the largest multi-chain, GameFi-focused NFT marketplace, to expand the Oasys gaming ecosystem.

NFT marketplaces are the bedrock of blockchain gaming. As a two-layer blockchain, Oasys plays a critical role in the blockchain gaming industry’s development, with future gaming projects likely to be built on “Verse”, the gaming-focused Layer-2 on Oasys. Each Verse is expected to develop its own independent ecosystem, and integrating an NFT marketplace is one of the most essential components in expanding the blockchain gaming ecosystem.

As part of the strategic partnership, tofuNFT will integrate with all of the Verses on Oasys. This integration provides Oasys ready access to tofuNFT’s expansive ecosystem, by virtue of their position as the largest multi-chain NFT marketplace, whose volume primarily comes from GameFi-related projects.

Daiki Moriyama, Director, Oasys, said: “Through our partnership with tofuNFT, we envisage bringing together both gaming communities and blockchain gaming ecosystems to usher in the next phase of the industry’s growth. It is incredibly exciting to be joining hands with a partner who has deep GameFi expertise and an extensive network, as we collectively shape the industry’s future and work towards a shared goal of driving the mass adoption of blockchain technology.”

Yu Numazaki, Co-founder of tofuNFT, added: “We are thrilled to be collaborating with Oasys as it continues to grow from strength to strength, and increasingly onboards more and more Layer-2 blockchain gaming projects. With NFT marketplaces functioning as a key defining feature of blockchain games, we look forward to leveraging Oasys’ deep ties with traditional gaming institutions and offering our solutions to encourage the uptake of blockchain gaming.”

Oasys’ partnership with tofuNFT comes on the back of a recent announcement of Square Enix’s participation as the final initial validator on the Oasys blockchain, as well as other strategic collaborations with industry movers in the gaming and blockchain space such as Mythical Games and ConsenSys. In July 2022, Oasys also announced a successful USD20 million Private Token Sale round led by Republic Capital, with participation from other industry heavyweights such as Jump Crypto, Crypto.com, Huobi, Kucoin, Gate.io, bitbank and Mirana Ventures.

With backing from significant players in the industry, Oasys will continue to focus on improving user experience and championing the mass adoption of blockchain technology in the gaming sector and beyond as it gears up towards a Mainnet launch in October this year.
