AUKEY Launches World’s First Qi2.2 Dual-Phone Wireless Charger

LOS ANGELES, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Leading wireless charger brand AUKEY today launched its MagFusion 2X 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger, the brand’s first Qi2.2 charger and among the world’s first.

AUKEY's first Qi2.2 wireless charger — MagFusion 2X
AUKEY’s first Qi2.2 wireless charger — MagFusion 2X

Qi2.2, the Wireless Power Consortium‘s latest charging standard, supports wireless charging up to 25W — a major speed boost compared to Qi2’s 15W. The Qi2.2-certified MagFusion 2X can complete a 0–100% charge 25 minutes faster than Qi2 charging, according to AUKEY’s tests using iPhone 16 Pro Max.

MagFusion 2X’s standout feature is its dual-device design. With the charger’s two built-in Qi2.2 modules, two devices can be charged simultaneously, whether that means two phones, a phone and earbuds, or two users sharing the charger. One device can be charged flat on the charger’s base while a second is charged via a magnetic stand. To allow for a comfortable viewing angle during charging, the stand can be adjusted by 30 degrees.

The charger also showcases AUKEY’s aesthetic strengths, featuring the brand’s signature metallic gray lacquer accented with geometric elements. The result is a modern, streamlined exterior designed to fit in anywhere, from the office to the nightstand.

“As an industry leader, we’re always eager to incorporate cutting-edge technology,” said AUKEY CEO Lu Haichuan. “MagFusion 2X truly reflects the effort our team has poured into it since before the Qi2.2 standard came out. We will be launching a diverse range of Qi2.2 charging products, along with enhancing our existing lineup.”

MagFusion 2X retails at USD$66.99 and comes with a 1.5m cable. Starting today, customers in the US can pre-purchase the product at a 10% early bird discount on AUKEY’s official website (www.AUKEY.com).

It’s official — Moomoo Singapore has crossed 1.5 million users

  • MooFest 2025 Draws Record-Breaking Crowd of nearly 4,000
  • Unveils Moo AI-Powered Investing & Crypto Expansion

SINGAPORE, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Moomoo Singapore concluded its third and largest edition of MooFest on 12 July 2025 at Suntec Convention Centre, welcoming over 4,000 attendees — including investors, partners, and community members for a full day of education, engagement and empowerment. This year’s event, themed ‘The Future of Wealth, Reimagined,’ spotlighted how innovation, accessibility and community are reshaping the investing landscape for everyday Singaporeans.

Gavin Chia, CEO at Moomoo Singapore, announced at MooFest that the moomoo app has surpassed 1.5 million users, which represents 1 in 2 Singapore residents aged 20 to 70[1]. This milestone marks a 50% increase in user growth within just 15 months, following the 1 million user milestone in April 2024. The surge in users underscores Moomoo’s rising influence in shaping Singapore’s retail investing landscape, driven by a blend of intuitive technology, accessible financial education and a thriving in-app community.

Moomoo Singapore has now crossed the 1.5 million user mark - just 15 months after it hit the 1 million user milestone.
Moomoo Singapore has now crossed the 1.5 million user mark – just 15 months after it hit the 1 million user milestone.

“Reaching 1.5 million users is more than just a milestone — it’s a reflection of how deeply moomoo Singapore is woven into the fabric of our nation’s financial and social ecosystem. We’re proud to serve not just as a digital investment platform, but as a partner in the financial journeys of everyday Singaporeans. As the country celebrates SG60 this year, we remain committed to building a future where investing is more inclusive, intelligent, and accessible to all,” said Chia.

7 in 10 Moomoo Singapore’s Clients were Profitable in 1H2025

In his keynote address, Chia shared that nearly 7 in 10 Moomoo Singapore’s clients were profitable over the past 12 months —  notwithstanding the market volatility in the first half of 2025. On a whole-of-portfolio basis, equities remain the most popular instrument for investors, forming nearly 60% of a typical winning portfolio. Wealth management products also saw significant allocation at 26%.

“The secret to their success was simple — staying invested amid volatility, not sitting on the sidelines. When sentiment around the US market shifted, many investors took a proactive approach: trimming US allocations from 75% to 67%, increasing their exposure to Hong Kong from 9% to 12%, and maintaining a stable position of around 20% in Singapore,” Chia said.

“Rather than exiting the market, they took full advantage of it. The data is clear: informed, agile investors who stay the course — while adapting as conditions evolve — continue to find opportunities, even in challenging environments,” he added.

The launch of Moomoo AI at MooFest was a testament to this vision. Moomoo AI is an advanced investment assistant powered by cutting-edge LLM technology that helps users analyse stocks, track market trends, and make informed decisions through a simple, conversational interface. It delivers real-time, holistic insights by combining financial data, technical indicators, and the latest news, all tailored to each query.

Beyond AI, Moomoo Singapore is doubling down on digital assets to build on the successful rollout of crypto trading in 2024. As of 15 July 2025, Moomoo Singapore is still the first and only online broker licensed to offer crypto trading services in Singapore. Its 2H 2025 Retail Investor Sentiment Survey found that almost 8% of all investors intend to increase their cryptocurrency exposure in the second half of the year, signalling growing demand for portfolio diversification. The figure rises to almost 30% among high-risk investors. In response, Moomoo will soon roll out new crypto products, enhanced analytics, and upgraded infrastructure to meet growing demand and help users diversify their portfolios with confidence.

MooFest is Moomoo Singapore's largest community event of the year. Now in its third year, MooFest 2025 saw a record turnout of more than 4,000 attendees.

Powerhouse Speakers, Insightful Delivery

This year, MooFest welcomed more than 50 speakers from across 30 financial institutions, as well as key financial influencers.

Moomoo Singapore, in collaboration with SGX and some of the industry’s most respected financial experts, hosted a series of high-impact panel discussions at MooFest 2025 — each designed to help investors make sense of today’s evolving market environment. From macroeconomic shifts and digital finance integration to the rise of AI-powered investing, the sessions translated Moomoo Singapore’s technological capabilities into actionable strategies for everyday investors. With a strong emphasis on practical education, the panels unpacked global trends, portfolio diversification tactics, and the implications of new tools like stablecoins and tokenisation.

The event closed on a high note with a forward-looking discussion on the convergence of traditional finance and digital assets — a topic that underscored Asia’s growing influence in global capital markets. It reflected Moomoo Singapore’s belief that meaningful investor education must evolve alongside the market itself, especially in an era where innovation is moving faster than ever.

Beyond the main stage, attendees participated in interactive learning sessions, live demos, lucky draws, and exclusive previews of upcoming features. These moments helped translate insight into engagement — making complex concepts more accessible and tangible.

At MooFest, Moomoo Singapore also unveiled several key initiatives aimed at deepening its local market presence and user engagement. These include:

  • CDP linkage, enabling seamless access to SGX-listed stocks through investors’ existing accounts
  • The upcoming launch of boutique physical stores, blending digital convenience with personalised support to serve as a hub for financial education and community engagement

Together, these initiatives reflect Moomoo Singapore’s commitment to delivering a holistic, connected, and future-ready investing experience — one that meets users wherever they are, both digitally and physically.

Looking ahead, Moomoo Singapore remains focused on pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in investing — through expanding AI-powered tools, enhancing product accessibility, and deepening its role in the digital asset ecosystem. Its mission remains clear: to empower retail investors with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to navigate the markets with clarity.

The success of MooFest 2025 affirms Moomoo Singapore’s rising influence in shaping a smarter, more confident retail investing culture — not just in Singapore, but across the region.

“What we’re building at Moomoo goes far beyond a trading platform. We’re shaping the future of retail investing — one that’s smarter, more inclusive, and deeply connected to the needs of the next generation. MooFest 2025 was a powerful showcase of how far we’ve come, but more importantly, a glimpse into what’s next. With 1.5 million users and counting, we remain committed to unlocking new possibilities through technology, education, and a community that grows stronger with every market cycle,” Chia said.

Zoomex and Haas F1 Launch Global Interview Series: Engine On: Zoomex × Haas Interview Season

F1 Driver Oliver Bearman Leads the Way, Joined by 10 KOLs and 18 Real Users to Share Authentic Crypto Trading Stories

VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Zoomex, the fastest-growing digital asset trading platform globally, officially partners with Haas F1 Team to launch a global brand interview series  Engine On: Zoomex × Haas Interview Season. The campaign brings together real users and professional traders in in-depth conversations, aiming to build a co-creative content ecosystem and rebuild the authentic connection between trading platforms and user trust.

The first episode features rising F1 driver Oliver Bearman, who shares his journey from F2 to F1, his goals for his first full season, and his two-year partnership with Zoomex.

When asked about the similarities between racing and crypto trading, Oliver Bearman said:

“I’d compare my driving style to Zoomex’s trading engine — sub-10ms reaction time. On the track or in the markets, victory often comes down to that split-second decision and execution.”

Zoomex commented that this dialogue sets the tone for the series “rapid execution meets authentic judgment” and deepens the content-level value of its ongoing collaboration with Haas. By drawing parallels between motorsport and crypto trading behavior, the campaign sparks strong user resonance.

In addition to this race-centric episode, Engine On: Zoomex × Haas Interview Season unfolds across two key storytelling threads:

  • 10 globally influential KOLs in the crypto trading space share insights on on-chain trends, trading strategies, and platform experiences.
  • 18 real Zoomex users, grouped in trios by language, participate in online interviews to discuss why they chose Zoomex, their trading logic, and user experience.

All participants are verified Zoomex users, ensuring authenticity and representativeness. Zoomex defines this initiative as an attempt at “co-created brand storytelling”, using the user’s perspective to establish deeper trust mechanisms with the platform.

The interview series will be released in multiple languages, covering major crypto communities in Japan, Korea, Europe, and Latin America. Through localized storytelling and embedded community engagement, Zoomex aims to further enhance its brand presence in regional markets.

As of Q2 2025, Zoomex has surpassed 3 million registered users, supports over 500 trading pairs, and operates across 35+ countries and regions. Known for its “simplicity × ease of use × lightning-fast execution”, Zoomex has built a strong reputation among global crypto traders.

In an increasingly noisy and homogeneous crypto landscape, Zoomex chooses to respond to users’ core concerns through slow, high-trust content giving real users and thought leaders the space to voice their reasons for choosing Zoomex.

“We want to return the question ‘Why Zoomex?’ back to our users — through longer-term, more authentic content formats. The platform is no longer just a slogan broadcaster, but a builder of shared conviction.”

With new episodes rolling out weekly, Zoomex × Haas Interview Season marks the platform’s evolution from a tool-based product to a resonance-driven brand — building trust through content, and winning user loyalty at every trading decision point.

About ZOOMEX:

Founded in 2021, Zoomex is a global cryptocurrency trading platform that follows the core values of “simplicity × ease of use × speed.” The platform is dedicated to providing users with high-performance, low-barrier trading experiences.

Since its debut in 2022 with just 700 racers, HYROX Hong Kong has exponentially grown into a cornerstone of the city’s fitness calendar, reflecting the surging popularity of functional fitness across Asia Pacific. Maintaining this momentum into 2024, the event hosted its first-ever Cigna Healthcare HYROX Open Asian Championship, welcoming over 6,500 participants. Now in 2025, HYROX Hong Kong is set to achieve a new record of over 9,700 registered racers gearing up for this year’s event, engaging over 500,000 racers worldwide throughout the recently concluded 2024/25 season.

With a completion rate of 98% at last year’s Hong Kong event, HYROX Hong Kong continues to demonstrate its accessibility and appeal to athletes of all backgrounds, redefining what it means to compete in fitness.

A Race That’s Truly Inclusive for Everyone

For the first time ever in Hong Kong, Cigna Healthcare HYROX Hong Kong 2025 will feature the Adaptive Men/Women category, a new division designed to make fitness racing accessible to athletes with physical disabilities. The Adaptive Men/Women category allows participants to compete in the same iconic HYROX format of a 1km run followed by one functional workout station, repeated eight times with tailored adjustments at selected stations. These modifications ensure a safe, supportive and empowering experience for all while maintaining the spirit of challenge and achievement that defines HYROX.

Participants can choose to enter solo, team up for the doubles division, or take part as a relay team of four. Those keen to race with their colleagues can also register for the Corporate Relay. Workout stations include:

  • 80m burpee broad jumps
  • 1,000m rowing
  • 200m farmers carry
  • 100m sandbag lunges
  • 100 wall balls

Whether you’re an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone overcoming physical barriers, Cigna Healthcare HYROX Hong Kong 2025 offers a platform to test your limits and celebrate personal triumphs. This year’s event will also see star-studded appearances from top racers across the globe including Hong Beom Seok, Mixed Relay invitational Asian Champion at HYROX Singapore 2025 from South Korea; Rylan Schadegg, one of the world’s leading elite HYROX racers from the United States; and Dexter Buchanan, a high-ranking athlete from New Zealand who finished first in his age group and second overall in the recent Sydney Men’s Pro race.  Their participation adds extra excitement and inspiration to the festivities. More than just a competition, HYROX is a celebration of personal achievement and community spirit, inviting people to be active and connect with Hong Kong’s dynamic fitness scene.

Gary Wan, HYROX APAC Managing Director, said: “Hong Kong has always been a model for HYROX’s growth in Asia. Our inaugural event here in 2022 welcomed just 700 participants. Fast forward to today, and we’re celebrating a fully sold-out event featuring almost 10,000 racers from over 48 countries. To see the event return for its fifth edition, bigger and more inclusive than ever, is a testament to the city’s vibrant and enthusiastic fitness community. The introduction of the Adaptive Men/Women category means even more people can experience the thrill of HYROX. We can’t wait to welcome everyone of all backgrounds and fitness levels to the start line.” 

Our second-year collaboration with HYROX reflects our ongoing commitment to improving the health and vitality of those we serve,” said Jonathan Spiers, Chief Executive Officer of Cigna Healthcare Hong Kong. “Through this partnership, Cigna Healthcare supports individuals to push their limits and achieve their personal best.
