SHANGHAI, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hengrui Pharma (600276.SH; 01276.HK), a leading innovative global pharmaceutical company focused on scientific and technological innovation, announced today that it has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Glenmark Specialty S.A. (GSSA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd., which is a research-led, global pharmaceutical company, for Hengrui’s independently developed HER2-targeting ADC, Trastuzumab Rezetecan (SHR-A1811).

Under the terms of the agreement, Hengrui has granted Glenmark exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Trastuzumab Rezetecan worldwide, excluding Mainland China, the Hong Kong SAR, the Macao SAR, Taiwan Region, USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Glenmark will pay Hengrui an upfront payment of US$18 million. Hengrui is eligible to receive regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to US$1.093 billion. Based on the net sales of Trastuzumab Rezetecan within the licensed territory, Glenmark will pay corresponding royalties to Hengrui.

Jo Feng, President of Hengrui Pharma, said:

“Facing the major global challenge of cancer treatment, Hengrui has over the years accelerated the research and development of cutting-edge innovative therapies such as ADCs, and is committed to addressing clinical treatment challenges and meeting unmet medical needs. This collaboration with Glenmark is a significant step in Hengrui’s ongoing strategy to deepen its presence in emerging markets. We look forward to working together to enhance the accessibility of innovative therapies and to bring new hope to patients in more countries and regions.”

Glenn Saldanha, Chairman and Managing Director of Glenmark, said:

“We are delighted to collaborate with Hengrui and build on the scientific momentum of Trastuzumab Rezetecan (SHR-A1811) as we continue expanding our oncology pipeline and leadership. This partnership aligns strongly with our strategy to bring differentiated, high-value therapies to patients and reinforces our commitment to advancing innovation in areas of significant unmet need.”

Trastuzumab Rezetecan is Hengrui’s self-developed HER2-targeted ADC. In May 2025, it was approved in China for the treatment of adult patients with HER2 (ERBB2) activating mutations in unresectable locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. This is the first China-developed ADC approved for HER2-mutated NSCLC. In September 2025, the new indication for Trastuzumab Rezetecan in breast cancer was accepted by China’s NMPA for review and was included in the priority review program. To date, Trastuzumab Rezetecan has been included in the NMPA’s Breakthrough Therapy Designation list for nine indications, covering NSCLC, breast cancer, gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, biliary tract cancer, and gynecologic malignancies.

Currently, Trastuzumab Rezetecan is actively advancing multiple clinical trials. In August 2025, Trastuzumab Rezetecan in combination with adebrelimab and chemotherapy obtained Orphan Drug Designation from the US FDA for gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Notably, based on its proprietary modular ADC platform (HRMAP®) and over 10 years of experience in ADC research and development, Hengrui Pharma has become a leading domestic enterprise in the layout of popular targets, with a number of differentiated ADC products. At present, more than 10 differentiated ADC molecules, including Trastuzumab Rezetecan, have been successfully approved for clinical trials. As of June 2025, 6 of Hengrui’s ADC products are in Phase III clinical trials or beyond, and a number of innovative drug products are deployed in various solid tumor treatment fields.

Bybit Crypto Insights Report: Aster Takes on Hyperliquid in the Perp DEX Boom

By
Advertorial Desk
-

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest Bybit Crypto Insights report, analyzing the growth of decentralized perpetual exchanges and how Aster has emerged as a competitor to Hyperliquid.

Bybit has entered the onchain DEX race with Byreal, a Solana-based decentralized exchange now in beta and set for mainnet in early October. According to DefiLlama, Byreal has recorded more than $335.41M in cumulative trading volume since its beta launch, with daily volume peaking at $28.15M. TVL reached a high of $14.22M. Byreal uses hybrid liquidity models, including RFQ and CLMM mechanisms, to reduce slippage and curb MEV.

The Rise of Aster

Aster was formed from the merger of Astherus and ApolloX and launched in September with a token that surged more than 300 percent in hours. The ASTER token reached a $1.33 billion market cap within two days. Aster’s features include MEV-free execution, hidden orders and dual trading interfaces designed for both retail and professional users. Plans for a zero-knowledge-powered chain and integration with the Binance ecosystem have strengthened its early positioning.

How Aster stacks up against Hyperliquid

Hyperliquid remains the leading decentralized perp DEX, recording about $200 billion in September trading volume compared with Aster’s $20 billion. Its market capitalization is estimated at $13.2 billion, while Aster’s is about $2.5 billion.

The two platforms reflect contrasting strategies. Hyperliquid built its own Layer 1 infrastructure with HyperBFT consensus and sub-second finality, delivering centralized exchange-like execution entirely on chain. Aster was mainly launched on BNB Chain with a modular design and emphasizes ecosystem integration, branding and token-driven growth.

How is Hyperliquid different from dYdX/GMX?

Legacy platforms such as dYdX and GMX emphasize decentralization as a core principle. By comparison, newer players like Hyperliquid and Aster prioritize speed, liquidity and user experience. Both sacrifice a degree of decentralization in favor of performance.

Hyperliquid and beyond

Bybit’s report notes that ideals such as trustlessness and community governance are taking a back seat to execution and user experience. Hyperliquid has long been the sector’s benchmark, having developed a blockchain optimized for trading, with fully on-chain matching and sub-second settlement.

Aster, however, has gained visibility not by building new infrastructure but by capturing attention through narrative, exchange backing and incentives. Its rapid rise illustrates how token launches, partnerships and endorsements can shift market dynamics.

The road ahead

The report concludes that decentralized perpetual DEXs are evolving into a model where decentralization is treated as a feature rather than a foundation. With centralized exchanges capable of launching their own versions, competition is expected to increase.

Hyperliquid, once seen as untouchable, now faces an existential challenge. Its infrastructure remains strong, but the market increasingly rewards storytelling, ecosystem incentives and cultural resonance alongside technical performance.

The “Menstrual Equity Project” Launched in The Bahamas to Boost School Attendance for Girls

By
Advertorial Desk
-

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, has recently advanced the Menstrual Equity Project in 2025 in The Bahamas. Jointly launched by KuCoin, the Global CSR Foundation, and the American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA), this initiative addresses menstrual health challenges in underserved communities.

Conceptualized in 2023 by Dr. Padmini Murthy, AMWA’s Global Health Lead and NGO Representative to the United Nations, and Ms. Jing Cesarone, Founder and CEO of the Global CSR Foundation, the project focuses on providing essential support. H.E. First Lady of The Bahamas, Mrs. Ann Marie Davis, personally spearheaded the distribution, delivering menstrual hygiene products donated by these global partners to local schools and communities.

“There are girls stay home from school while menstruating, as they cannot afford to buy their napkins,” said Mrs. Davis at the distribution event. “I couldn’t believe the great need for this product here in the Bahamas in underserved communities. I’m extremely grateful to my Global Partner, for her much-needed donation of sanitary pads.”


This effort is part of KuCoin’s broader commitment to social responsibility, made during the KuCoin Green Future Reception at COP28 in 2023. Since then, KuCoin has actively carried out various welfare initiatives. One of the flagship programs, the Menstrual Equity Project, launched its first distribution in March 2024, providing menstrual kits—including sanitary pads and menstrual cups—to beneficiaries in the Republic of Suriname, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and domestic violence shelters in New York.

Following these initial efforts, the project extended its reach to The Bahamas.

With support from the Office of The Spouse of The Prime Minister, KuCoin’s donations to The Bahamas mainly include disposable sanitary pads. KuCoin’s approach also considers local limitations in water resources and the high cost of cleaning reusable products. It also ensures women are better equipped during natural disasters such as hurricanes and tropical storms.


The objectives of KuCoin’s Menstrual Equity Project align closely with those of the Distribution of Feminine Pads Initiative led by the First Lady’s Office. Together, they aim to reduce absenteeism among schoolgirls caused by period poverty, while also fostering greater awareness and acceptance of menstrual health issues within the community.

“Your donation has made a tangible impact on the lives of those we support. The pads were distributed to Parliamentarians for inner city areas, NGOs, the girls penitentiary centre for girls, and many caretakers of young girls and battered women. The recipients were overjoyed and expressed the great need for these supplies, which are expensive. The distribution was great. These pads were significant in enabling the recipients to manage their menstrual health with confidence and dignity.” Mrs. Ann Marie Davis, Spouse of The Prime Minister of The Bahamas, wrote a personal letter of thanks, “We are deeply thankful for your compassion and commitment to improving the lives of others. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. We look forward to continuing our work together to empower and support our communities.”

KuCoin’s efforts in corporate social responsibility have been widely recognized in recent years. In March 2025, KuCoin was honored with the “2025 Corporate Social Responsibility Award” from the World Women Organization.

“The Menstrual Equity Project is not only about health and dignity—it’s about equity,” said Nancy Cheung, Chief Sustainability Officer at KuCoin. “We are committed to expanding this project globally, collaborating with more organizations to improve the living conditions of women and contribute to the well-being of women and children around the world.”

As KuCoin embarks on a new chapter of global compliance and sustained growth in 2025, initiatives like the Menstrual Equity Project are becoming vital pillars of its long-term sustainability strategy—fortifying the platform’s social value moat and setting a new benchmark for responsible innovation in the crypto industry.

Founded in 2017, KuCoin is a leading global crypto platform built on trust, serving over 41 million users across 200+ countries and regions. With established recognition for its reliability, the platform leverages cutting-edge blockchain technology, robust liquidity solutions, and advanced user account protections to deliver a secure trading environment.

Throwback to a Bold Kickoff of Spanish Culinary Adventures
Earlier this month, the ESDS 2025 campaign kicked off with two signature events that spotlighted key partners and showcased the rich gastronomic adventures of Spanish cuisine.

Spanish Wine Dinner with Tres Monos
On 12 September, a five-course dinner paired with a range of exquisite Spanish wines brought in by Tres Monos was held at the Astor Grill at The St. Regis Singapore. Attended by over 40 guests, this marked the successful start of a series of activities and experiences for ESDS 2025. Guided by TRES MONOS, the evening was a night of indulgence and discovery – the true taste of Spanish joie de vivre (joy of living).

Galician Day at AT-SUNRICE GLOBALCHEF ACADEMY
For one day only, on 13 September 2025 from 12pm to 5.00pm, ESDS 2025 hosted the fully-sold out Galician Day ($78 per person) at AT-Sunrice Globalchef Academy. Guests had the rare chance to savour the rich flavours and coastal charm of this under explored region in Spain.

Known for its rugged Atlantic coast, lush green hills, and deep-rooted food traditions, Galicia offers a cuisine of culinary hidden gems that marry land and sea in soulful harmony – wholeheartedly brought to life by award-winning Michelin star Chef Miguel F. Vidal, himself a son of A Coruña, a coastal town in Galicia. Joined by Chef Javier “Taky” Rodríguez Ponte, they delighted guests with dishes in a Galician Discovery Menu, followed by an exclusive Authentic Galician Empanada Cooking Class by Chef Miguel himself, and a Wine Masterclass by sommelier Zachary Tay.

There was also a Produce Market running concurrently from 12pm to 5pm at the venue, where visitors could taste and purchase limited quantities of Spanish wines and cava from local grocers such as Tres Monos and Ecolah.

Jamon Iberico Night at Nómada
On 19 September 2025, guests prepared their palates for an extraordinary evening of Spanish indulgence of Noche de Jamón at Nómada, a one-night-only celebration of the world’s finest cured ham at Singapore’s destination for bold, globally inspired Spanish cuisine.

In collaboration with El Olivo x FISAN x Nómada, the evening showcased the hand-carved, award-winning 100% acorn-fed Ibérico Ham from FISAN’s Alta Gastronomía collection. This rare delicacy, sourced from the oak-filled dehesas of Spain, comes from free-range Iberian pigs that feast exclusively on acorns during the Montanera season (mid-October to the end of March). Guests savoured its unparalleled depth, complexity, and melt-in-the-mouth texture — a ham aged for up to 60 months in FISAN’s natural drying rooms and cellars.

The celebration was further elevated with specially crafted dishes, including the crowd-favourite Croquetas de Jamón Ibérico – golden, creamy bites of indulgence that perfectly complemented the evening of Spanish gastronomy.

Eat Spain Drink Spain 2025 Spanish Fair
