SINGAPORE, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Talent scarcity continues to intensify across Asia Pacific and the Middle East (APME), underscoring a critical inflection point for employers and economies alike. According to ManpowerGroup’s 2026 Global Talent Shortage Survey, 71% of employers in APME report difficulty filling open roles — nearly on par with the global average of 72%.

The study, surveying more than 39,000 employers across 41 countries, including 12,193 across 10 APME markets, shows hiring challenges vary by market. In APME, Japan (84%) and India (82%) experience the most severe constraints, while the U.A.E. stands at 76%, and China (48%) is the least affected regionally and globally. At the global level, Slovakia (87%), Greece (84%) and Japan report the highest shortage, while Finland (60%) and Poland (57%) face the lowest shortage, alongside China.

Even as the degree of shortage differs by market, AI skills consistently rank among the hardest to find in APME, led by AI Model & Application Development (27%) and AI Literacy (26%), while traditional IT & Data skills place sixth (18%).

“The rise of AI has fundamentally reshaped both the skills landscape and the hiring process in APME. Today, AI skills are no longer niche capabilities—they are foundational to workforce competitiveness across the region. As organizations accelerate adoption, leaders must operate across multiple horizons simultaneously. They need to support workers through rapid transformation in the now, ensuring they can adapt confidently to AI-driven change. While also preparing for the next by building deeper, future-ready AI capabilities that their organizations will rely on in the years ahead. At the same time, the hiring process is changing at an accelerated pace and they now need to build, buy or borrow the skills to recruit ‘AI enhanced candidates’,” says François Lançon, Regional President, Asia Pacific & Middle East, ManpowerGroup.

DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), the global non-profit initiative founded by Bybit dedicated to leveraging blockchain for societal impact, has named Token Tails the top incubation project of 2025, recognising the project for demonstrating a scalable, blockchain-powered infrastructure capable of continuously funding real-world stray animal rescue at a measurable scale.

Token Tails was selected during BGAwards 2025 in Copenhagen, at the Blockchain Impact Forum, as part of the BGA Incubation Showcase. The project was formally recognised through the Alliance’s incubation programme, reflecting the organisation’s strategic focus on supporting initiatives that move beyond one-off charitable campaigns to build systems designed for sustained, verifiable impact.

While many animal welfare initiatives rely on episodic fundraising and donations, Token Tails embeds real-world funding directly into user participation. Every interaction within the platform is designed to generate automatic, continuous support for verified shelters, creating an always-on funding mechanism rather than intermittent appeals.

For shelters, Token Tails is developing a unified system covering intake, medical history, sponsorships, and adoption, transparently linked to funding flows. As the infrastructure matures, the project aims to position itself not merely as a charitable initiative, but as a global entertainment brand designed to generate animal welfare impact by default.

As BGA’s top incubation project for 2025, Token Tails is receiving tailored incubation resources through the Alliance’s Ascend Incubation track. This includes grant funding, access to BGA’s ecosystem partners, and customised advisory support across areas such as fundraising, go-to-market strategy, compliance, and partnerships based on the project’s evolving needs. In addition, the project benefits from marketing exposure and on-the-ground event support through BGA-led initiatives.

Technical support has been provided through ecosystem partner Mantle, which has also committed 5,000 MNT in funding for the project, alongside tailored resources and advisory support from BGA aligned with Token Tails’ evolving needs.

The designation follows BGA’s approach of selecting one leading project each year for deeper, bespoke incubation. In 2024, the Alliance recognised EthicHub as its top incubation project. Token Tails is expected to complete the incubation cycle and graduate at the BGAwards in November 2026, after which the next leading project will be selected.

“Token Tails was founded to fix a broken problem,” said Žygimantas Bagdzevičius, founder of Token Tails. “Millions of cats need help, but impact is often invisible and trust is fragile. Blockchain allows us to make saving cats transparent, trackable, and scalable.”

The model has already delivered measurable outcomes, which BGA views as early validation of the underlying system rather than a standalone achievement. To date, Token Tails reports it has saved more than 800 cats, funding food, medical treatment, and urgent care across multiple shelters — demonstrating how continuous, infrastructure-led funding can operate in real-world conditions.

“Blockchain’s true potential for good is realised when incentives are aligned with impact,” said Glenn Tan, Director of Global Affairs at Blockchain for Good Alliance. “BGA selected Token Tails not simply for what it has achieved to date, but for the way its model converts everyday digital participation into a continuous funding engine for shelters globally. It is a strong example of how blockchain can move beyond speculation and into systems designed for scalable, measurable public benefit.”

This systems-led approach, combined with early performance, contributed to BGA and Bybit’s decision to support Token Tails through deeper incubation.

During Paris Blockchain Week 2026, Token Tails is scheduled to co-host a side event with Bybit and BGA, featuring supported rescue cats. The event will allow attendees to participate in hands-on rescue activities and interact with rescued animals, reinforcing BGA’s emphasis on tangible, real-world outcomes tied to its incubation programmes.

The Mantle-Aave-Bybit integration delivers record-breaking on-chain liquidity, driven by coordinated incentive programs and deep CeDeFi infrastructure.

DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following the successful mainnet integration between Mantle and Aave, announced in collaboration with Bybit, Mantle and Aave today announced that their joint deployment has surpassed $575 million in total market size, encompassing both supply and borrows within just two weeks of going live.

The milestone reflects the growing demand for institutional-grade DeFi infrastructure and marks one of the fastest liquidity ramp-ups in Aave’s deployment history across any network.

The integration, which brought together Mantle’s high-performance distribution layer, Aave’s leading decentralized liquidity markets, and Bybit’s global exchange infrastructure, has established a unified framework for on-chain finance that bridges centralized and decentralized ecosystems at scale. What began as a protocol deployment has rapidly evolved into a live proof point for the CeDeFi thesis, where institutional capital, retail participation, and real-world financial instruments converge in a single, composable environment.

Record-Breaking Early Momentum for Aave v3 on Mantle

Since launching on Mantle, Aave v3 has onboarded a broad and strategically curated set of assets which includes wETH, USDC, GHO, FBTC, USDe, and wrsETH with additional assets planned for future onboarding subject to governance review. The asset lineup reflects a deliberate focus on both capital efficiency and ecosystem diversity, spanning native stablecoins, liquid staking derivatives, Bitcoin-backed instruments, and yield-bearing tokens.

Each market has been configured with a full suite of per-asset risk parameters, including isolation mode flags, conservative supply and borrow caps, and tailored interest-rate curves, all subject to ongoing review by Aave’s risk service providers. This governance-first approach ensures that Mantle’s rapid liquidity growth is matched with the institutional-grade safety and transparency that large allocators require.

Key Milestones Since Launch

• $575M+ Total Market Size in Two Weeks: Combined supply and borrow activity across Aave v3 on Mantle has exceeded $575 million indicating a milestone that underscores both the depth of existing demand and the effectiveness of the coordinated incentive framework.
• wrsETH Supply Cap Maxed Twice in One Week: The wrsETH pool by KelpDAO reached its supply cap twice within a single week, with deposits doubling to approximately $50 million within three days — a clear signal of concentrated, high-conviction demand for liquid restaking exposure on Mantle.
• Institutional Capital Participation: The deployment’s focus on RWA-compatible infrastructure and institutional-grade risk controls has attracted significant allocations from professional participants seeking capital-efficient, transparent on-chain yield.
• GHO Expansion on Mantle: The deployment of Aave’s native stablecoin GHO has established a new liquidity hub on Mantle, supported by active distribution from the Aave Liquidity Committee.

Active Incentive Programs

To reward early adopters and sustain long-term liquidity depth, two coordinated incentive programs are currently live:

1. Mantle (MNT) Rewards: A total of 8 million $MNT has been allocated to incentivize suppliers and borrowers across prioritized markets, including ETH, USDC, and USDT.
2. Aave DAO Contribution: The Aave Liquidity Committee is distributing 1.5 million $GHO to drive stablecoin adoption and ensure deep liquidity for GHO-based pairs across the Mantle market.

Building the Foundation for CeDeFi at Scale

The Mantle & Aave integration represents more than a protocol deployment. It is a foundational layer for the CeDeFi future. Through its structural alignment with Bybit, Mantle provides a direct bridge for more than 70 million global users to access decentralized markets, with the trust, compliance, and UX expectations of a world-class centralized exchange.

Upcoming phases of the collaboration are designed to deepen this bridge further:

• Integrated Earn Products: Direct integration of Aave’s yield-bearing assets into Bybit’s Earn suite, enabling seamless access to on-chain yield for Bybit’s global user base.
• Advanced Collateral Options: Support for Mantle-native assets and RWA-backed tokens within Aave’s isolated pools, unlocking greater capital efficiency for institutional participants.

“Surpassing $575 million in total market size within two weeks is not just a number but a validation that the market has been waiting for infrastructure that connects institutional capital, real-world assets, and decentralized finance without compromise. Mantle was built to be the distribution layer where this convergence happens, and what we’re seeing today is exactly that thesis playing out in real time.” said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle.

Start Earning on Mantle

Users can access the Mantle market via the official Aave interface to supply assets, borrow against collateral, and begin earning boosted rewards.

About Mantle

Mantle positions itself as the premier distribution layer and gateway for institutions and TradFi to connect with on-chain liquidity and access real-world assets, powering how real-world finance flows.

With over $4B+ in community-owned assets, Mantle combines credibility, liquidity and scalability with institutional-grade infrastructure to support large-scale adoption. The ecosystem is anchored by $MNT within Bybit, and built out through core ecosystem projects like mETH, fBTC, MI4 and more.

• TruPath™ Genome offers more complete genome, with the simplest sample to sequencer workflow
• Data presented at AGBT demonstrates TruPath Genome’s accuracy in detecting rare genetic disease
• Broad Clinical Labs is among first to adopt product, which was previously known as “constellation mapped read technology”

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) today announced the launch of TruPath™ Genome, setting a new standard for high-quality, comprehensive whole genome insights for genetic disease. TruPath Genome has been found to deliver unparalleled accuracy and resolution—even across so-called “dark regions” of the genome—providing researchers with a more complete picture of genomic alterations implicated in genetic disease.

With an incredibly simple workflow, TruPath Genome eliminates traditional library prep. In about 10 minutes of hands-on time, TruPath Genome generates 16 whole genomes per day, nearly double the throughput of competing long-read methods, and with fewer errors.

TruPath Genome leverages novel on-flow cell library preparation with patterned flow cell technology and advanced informatics to seamlessly add long-distance insights for comprehensive variant detection. DRAGEN™ algorithms tuned to incorporate proximity information from TruPath flow cells improve read alignment and variant calling, extending Illumina high-quality reads to difficult-to-map regions, variant phasing, structural variants, short tandem repeats (STR), and clinically relevant paralogous genes. TruPath Genome fully phases up to 98% of genes.

“With TruPath Genome, we are pushing the boundaries of genomics and setting a new standard for genetic and rare disease research,” said Steve Barnard, PhD, chief technology officer of Illumina. “In rare disease, you’re often looking for a variant needle in a genomic haystack—and comprehensiveness, accuracy, and confidence matter. This technology unlocks rapid answers to shed light on the genomic drivers of genetic disease with an ease that was never thought possible.”

TruPath Genome delivers a highly cost-effective whole genome workflow, at an industry standard depth of at least 30x coverage with single-use flow cell, which is critical in clinical research.

Data presented at AGBT illustrates a short-read path to long-distance insight
Data presented today at AGBT and in previous publications illustrates how TruPath Genome is already shedding light on some of the most challenging genetic diseases, including spinal muscular atrophy, kidney disease, and complex adrenal disorders.

• Researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht presented data evaluating TruPath Genome in challenging rare disease samples, with a particular focus on long–range phasing performance required to support non–invasive prenatal diagnostic (NIPD) assays, as well as resolution of difficult genomic regions and complex structural variants.

“TruPath Genome enabled us to consolidate multiple analyses into a single, easy–to–implement whole–genome assay,” said Marcel Nelen, PhD, head of the Genome Diagnostic Laboratory at UMC Utrecht. “Despite the simplicity of the workflow, we achieved megabase–scale phasing, full resolution of clinically relevant genes, and improved interpretation of difficult regions—even a particularly challenging case in the notoriously complex SMN1/SMN2 region—as well as complex structural variants. This represents an important step toward a single assay capable of addressing many rare disease research questions without additional orthogonal testing.”

• At the recent Festival of Genomics & Biodata in London, researchers from the University of Exeter shared data on their pilot of TruPath Genome, which found that the technology resolved highly complex genomic regions, including a gene known to be associated with inherited adrenal disorders. While current short-read WGS requires parental samples to identify compound heterozygotes, TruPath Genome offers a single-sample path to these insights, improving coverage for samples processed without parental data.

“TruPath Genome opens up a future where every patient affected by a rare genetic condition can receive rapid comprehensive whole-genome testing to end diagnostic odysseys and identify possible precision treatments,” said Emma Baple, PhD, professor of Genomic Medicine at the University of Exeter and medical lead for the NHS England Rapid Genome Sequencing Service for Critically Unwell Children. “In Exeter, we have been privileged to evaluate the TruPath technology and seen the potential to change the lives of affected children and their families. We are eager to see how this innovation evolves, as these types of solutions will transform how rare conditions are diagnosed.”

Broad Clinical Labs is among the first to adopt TruPath Genome, which will make this important technology available to their collaborators in rare disease research.

“TruPath means a more comprehensive genome to drive our research,” said Sean Hofherr, PhD., FACMG, chief of clinical strategy and product development, Broad Clinical Labs. “This technology delivers an impressive ability to interrogate even the most challenging variants in the genome, all in a stunningly simple workflow. And, being able to run it on the NovaSeq X Plus is attractive.”

More than 30 early access customers have been piloting the technology over the past 16 months, including GeneDx, Rady Children’s Hospital, and Baylor College of Medicine. Baylor College of Medicine recently published a pre-print on the technology in medRxiv.

“We remain committed to advancing the accessibility of genomics through continuous innovation, delivering streamlined end-to-end workflows and comprehensive genomic insights to address the most challenging rare genetic diseases,” said Jenny Zheng, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Greater China at Illumina. “In Greater China, we will deepen our collaboration with clinical and research experts to accelerate the transformation of cutting-edge technologies from research into clinical practice, ensuring our innovations truly reach patients. On this occasion of Rare Disease Day, we stand ready to illuminate the path forward for more families navigating the diagnostic odyssey.”

The TruPath Genome launch was unveiled today during the Gold Sponsor Workshop at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) annual meeting in Orlando. Register here for the replay.
