SHANGHAI, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BranDNA announced a strategic partnership with CREAS F&C to launch the Italian premium sportswear brand Hydrogen in China. The signing ceremony was held at CREAS Group’s headquarters in Seoul.

This collaboration marks a timely entry into China’s rapidly growing outdoor sports market, reflecting Hydrogen’s strategic alignment with evolving local consumer trends.

Founded in 2003 by fashion designer Alberto Bresci, Hydrogen is known as Italy’s first premium performance sportswear brand. The brand merges high fashion with professional sports functionality, becoming a “secret weapon” for elite athletes. Known for its iconic skull logo and bold designs, the brand embodies individuality and a rebellious spirit, appealing to those who reject mediocrity, and embrace an avant-garde aesthetic.

BranDNA will implement localized innovations for the brand to seize the China opportunity. James Chen, CEO of BranDNA, stated: “This is the ideal timing for Hydrogen to enter China. Chinese consumers are demanding greater personalization and fashion sense in outdoor and sportswear, and Hydrogen perfectly meets this demand.” Chen emphasized, “We are not just introducing Hydrogen products; we are bringing a lifestyle revolution to the new generation seeking identity, offering cutting-edge outdoor apparel for both city life and the outdoors.”

BranDNA and its predecessors have represented over 40 global brands in China. The current brands include Body Glove, Dakine, 7 For All Mankind, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Ben Sherman, Porsche Design, Bric’s, and Borghese.

According to the “2024 Sports & Outdoor Industry White Paper” by Xiaohongshu (RED), the rise of fashionable sports-outdoor gear is among the top five trends shaping the industry in China, with products increasingly blending into everyday lifestyles. Hydrogen’s trekking line enables consumers to embrace refined ‘quiet outdoor’ Gorpcore styles that resonate with global fashion movements. Meanwhile, the Active Outdoor collection, tailored for trail running, represents the brand’s most energetic and performance-driven offering.

Mr. Harry Woo, Senior Vice President of CREAS F&C stated, “BranDNA’s strong track record in developing premium fashion and lifestyle sports brands in China, such as Roberto Cavalli, Nike 360, and Nike Golf, made them the ideal strategic partner for Hydrogen. “

The spokesperson added, “With a trusted partner like BranDNA, we’re confident this collaboration will not only drive Hydrogen’s growth in China but also support its broader global expansion.”

Hydrogen’s official China launch is set for Spring/Summer 2026.

HONG KONG, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bayes Labs team announces the official launch of Bayes Market, a next‑generation global prediction market based in Asia. Bayes Market converts future events into structured financial contracts, offering professionals and mass population a groundbreaking tool to hedge and trade.

In an era marked by AI, deglobalization, and geopolitical uncertainty, Bayes Market opens a fresh arena beyond traditional asset—a platform where insights about the future can be priced, traded, and monetized.

Trading on Probability, Filling Gaps in Traditional Finance

Bayes Market operates as a prediction market not relying on a single underlying asset, but around information. Users of prediction market trade on probabilities of events from geopolitics, climate to K-pop group comebacks base on their own believes.

Each contract’s price reflects the market’s collective assessment of an event’s probability. Instead of forcing investors to hedge indirectly via ETFs or options, Bayes Market offers a direct hedge on the event itself, addressing a critical blind spot. Users can turn tomorrow’s uncertainty into today’s actionable trade, in a granular way.

Asian Dynamic Meets AMM

Bayes Market employs an Automated Market Maker (AMM) to deliver low‑slippage, high‑transparency trading experience. At the same time, the platform focuses on long‑tail events, making prediction approachable, diverse, and culturally relevant especially in Asia.

The team believes that everyone should be able to trade and create events that of their own interest. Bayes Market covers entertainment, pop culture, and social issues beyond macroeconomics and politics, embedding prediction in our daily lives. This unlocks the mass market adoption beyond crypto users.

Decentralized Market Creation

Bayes Market will soon let users initiate their own prediction events, whether it is a dating reality show or inflation. This challenges the existing paradigm where centralized institutions define tradable markets, turning prediction markets into a grassroots catalyst of shared reality. Stay tuned for Bayes Market’s next version update.

An Ecosystem for a ‘Cognition‑as‑Value’ Market Economy

Bayes Market is now officially launched, supporting Bayes Points and USDC, with Points incentive programs. The platform invites data providers, content platforms, communities, and Web3 innovators to co‑create an ecosystem where cognition itself becomes a new type of value.

About Bayes Market

Bayes Market is founded by a cross‑disciplinary team specializing in market design, digital media, algorithmic modeling, and decentralized finance, dedicated to building a fairer and smarter information market.
