Droid Investment Funds Launches ‘The 10 Fund Competition Institutional Capital vs. The Wisdom of the Crowd’

8 4 月, 2026
A new funding model pits 9 professional investor funds against 1 crowd-driven fund to test who can best identify breakout companies in gaming, XR, and interactive media.LAS VEGAS, NV, Apr 8, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Droid Investment Funds today announced the launch of the 10 Fund Competition, an innovative startup funding model built around a simple but powerful question: Who is better at spotting the future—professional investors or the crowd?Structured as a live contest, nine professionally managed funds and one crowd fund will discover and accelerate promising companies across gaming, esports, XR, spatial computing, creator tools, and interactive commerce.Unlike traditional venture capital models where allocation decisions occur behind closed doors, this competition makes startup selection visible, dynamic, and participatory. Professional fund managers bring deep industry experience, elite networks, and rigorous investment discipline. The crowd fund represents collective market conviction. Over time, both sides will be measured publicly by the performance of the companies they back.“We are building more than a funding platform,” said Andrew Prell, Founder of Convergence 4D. “We are building a public competition around conviction, discovery, and startup selection. For too long, founders have had to rely on closed circles and private gatekeepers. This model opens the process and lets the market see, in real time, whether institutional judgment or community insight is better at identifying the next generation of winners.”Far from being a new idea, the 10 Fund Competition traces back to 2018, when Prell published the underlying framework in Blockchain vs. The VC and The Virtuous Circle of Token Based Investment Funds. The ideas gained traction; in a recorded public forum at a Silicon Valley conference that year, leading economists questioned whether the model represented entirely new principles of token-based economics.Beyond Capital: Real-World Network Effects For founders, the opportunity goes well beyond capital. Startups entering the competition gain unprecedented visibility, market validation, and compound momentum. They are entering an environment where investor support and market attention accelerate together.At the center of this model is the crowd fund, serving as a live benchmark. Rather than treating the public as spectators, the structure gives the crowd a meaningful, active role in discovery.“This is a real test,” Prell added. “Can a well-informed crowd outperform traditional investors? Can collective conviction see opportunities that professional capital overlooks? We believe that question is worth answering publicly.”As the platform grows, the 10 Fund Competition will become a capital formation engine and a public scoreboard for startup discovery. Droid Investment Funds is currently finalizing the manager lineup and expanding early access for founders ahead of launch.About Droid Investment Funds Droid Investment Funds backs startups in gaming, XR, esports, and interactive media. Its 10 Fund Competition brings together professional managers and a crowd fund in a public contest to support high-potential companies.Media Contact:Jarvis GaoMedia RelationsTeam@silicanexus.com702-490-3674 Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

The Poker Ring Case Around Arenas’ Mansion Becomes More Complicated iGame

The Poker Ring Case Around Arenas’ Mansion Becomes More Complicated

8 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - A prominent illegal gambling case in Los Angeles is progressing as one key suspect prepares to enter a guilty plea, opening a new chapter in an extensive investigation linked to former NBA player Gilbert Arenas. Gershman to Plead Guilty Prosecutors state that Yevgeni Gershman—an alleged organized crime figure from Israel—has agreed to plead guilty to several charges, including conspiracy to run an illegal gambling enterprise, money laundering, weapons possession, and submitting false statements on immigration documents. This agreement follows the 50-year-old’s arrest last July, alongside Arenas and four others: 49-year-old Evgenni Tourevski (Tarzana), 53-year-old Allan Austria (West Hills), 28-year-old Yarin Cohen (Tarzana), and 44-year-old Ievgen Krachun (Tarzana). According to the indictment, between September 2021 and July 2022, the group organized high-stakes poker games at Arenas’ mansion in Encino, California. Authorities describe these events as elaborate gatherings featuring bartenders, chefs, valet services, armed security guards, and young women offering “companionship,” serving drinks, or relaying messages to poker players in exchange for tips. The case against Gershman also includes allegations that he entered into a sham marriage to secure permanent residency in the United States. Arenas Continues to Deny All Charges Arenas, however, has denied all charges against him. He faces accusations of conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business, running such a business, and making false statements to federal investigators. His trial is currently scheduled for May. The investigation dates back to July 2022, when agents from the LAPD and DEA raided the mansion while a poker game was reportedly in progress. Surveillance from a DEA aircraft allegedly showed guests fleeing the property during the operation. Authorities began focusing on the location after a gambler reported losing $1.2 million in a single night and claimed he had been threatened by individuals linked to Israeli organized crime. He identified Gershman as the person running the games. Three years ago, Emil Lahaziel, an Israeli national believed to have connections to similar networks, was found shot dead outside a Hollywood Hills mansion that had hosted another poker event. While Gershman was not accused of involvement, investigators claim the incident helped them uncover a wider network of illegal poker games across Encino, Sherman Oaks, and the Hollywood Hills. Two suspects have been charged in connection with Lahaziel’s death. As the case unfolds, prosecutors continue to examine links between multiple underground gambling operations across Los Angeles, suggesting the investigation may not yet be over.

Affiliate Mergers: Does Bigger Truly Mean Better in the iGaming Landscape? iGame

Affiliate Mergers: Does Bigger Truly Mean Better in the iGaming Landscape?

8 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Sebastian Jarosch is the founder and CEO of Mithrillium Media Ltd. Having been involved in the iGaming industry since 2007, he’s undoubtedly a veteran of the market—making him the ideal candidate to answer questions about the iGaming ecosystem that has developed around affiliate websites. Mr. Jarosch’s contributions have been recognized by some of the world’s most prominent organizations. Not only has he won the SBC Award for Best Affiliate Programme, but he now also serves as a judge for the prestigious gambling body. He has also received the EGR Best Affiliate Programme twice and the Casino Meister Best Casino Group Award. What’s driving the significant consolidation in the affiliate sector, and what factors are behind these mergers and acquisitions? Consolidation is mainly fueled by rising SEO costs, increased competition, and the need for scale in regulated markets. Larger networks can negotiate better deals with operators, invest in their products, and acquire smaller sites to strengthen their positions. This is a natural evolution as the industry matures. Do larger affiliate networks offer more value to operators, or do they risk losing the trust and authenticity that smaller sites maintain? Larger networks often deliver higher traffic volumes and operate across multiple markets. However, smaller affiliate sites tend to focus on niche areas where they frequently dominate rankings. The best networks balance scale with authenticity. How does consolidation affect the quality of information and choice available to players? Consolidation often improves UX quality but can have a negative impact on content. Larger affiliates are also more likely to focus on regulated markets, which significantly narrows players’ choices. Maintaining diversity in style, focus, and opinion is key to building player trust. Can independent affiliates still compete effectively against large affiliate groups? If so, how? Independent affiliates like Casino Groups can succeed by being agile, niche-focused, and authentic. They often perform better in rankings because their content is highly optimized. Specialization allows them to stand out against larger, more generic networks within their niche. What risks come with consolidation—such as homogenized content, reduced transparency, or operator bias? Content can sometimes suffer because reviews often follow a fixed template with little room for individuality. Larger affiliates also have targets that can lead to commercial bias. Players quickly notice when sites feel more like marketing tools than independent guides. Do regulators pay closer attention to larger affiliate groups, and does this change their approach to compliance? Larger groups attract more scrutiny due to their influence and reach. They target high-volume keywords, putting them in the spotlight. Regulators expect them to set higher standards and may hold them more accountable, adding pressure for larger affiliates to invest in compliance. Have you seen cases where scale improved efficiency, UX, or innovation, or does size sometimes become a weakness? Big affiliates can invest in UX, data, and features that smaller affiliates lack the resources for—like advanced tools such as odds comparisons or real-time data feeds. However, size can slow innovation, and new features often take longer to develop. How do operators view consolidation: as an opportunity for consistency or a threat to diversity in acquisition channels? Operators often welcome the consistency and reach large networks provide. However, larger affiliates are usually more costly to work with, and acquired sites sometimes receive less attention and begin to decline. Will the affiliate market eventually be dominated by a handful of mega-groups, similar to the operator side? There will be more consolidation, but smaller affiliates will always thrive in niche areas. Network affiliates will continue to dominate regulated, high-volume markets, while independents remain prominent in specialized segments. The ecosystem will likely stay a mix of both. Looking ahead, how will the balance between independent affiliates and consolidated networks shape the iGaming industry? The future will be about coexistence. Consolidated networks will set standards for compliance and scale, while independents drive innovation and community focus. Together, they keep the industry competitive, diverse, and responsive to player needs. This article is provided by a third-party.

川普與伊朗達成停火協議 國會議員審慎樂觀之餘提出質疑 News

川普與伊朗達成停火協議 國會議員審慎樂觀之餘提出質疑

8 4 月, 2026
2026年4月8日，伊朗德黑蘭恩克拉廣場（Enqelab square）的伊朗民眾在停火聲明公布後做出反應。——AFP/Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - 國會議員對唐納·川普總統在最後一刻與伊朗達成的停火協議反應參半，既有寬慰也帶有審慎樂觀態度，不過民主黨人士與部分保守派質疑，若要實現更長久的敵對狀態降溫，後續步驟應當如何推進。向來支持美國對伊朗採取軍事行動的鷹派人物、南卡羅來納州共和黨參議員林賽·葛瑞漢（Lindsey Graham）對該協議表示讚賞，同時也呼籲國會參與審議伊朗提出的10點提議，該提議可能帶動美軍從該區域撤離。葛瑞漢在社群媒體貼文中表示：「和所有人一樣，我希望我們能透過外交手段終結伊朗政權的恐怖統治，時間會證明一切。」葛瑞漢稱：「我要重申，在我看來，伊朗境內約900磅的高濃縮鈾必須全數由美國控管並移出伊朗，避免他們未來研發髒彈或重啟濃縮活動。」川普在週二的聲明中表示，伊朗的10點提議「具可行性」，且「幾乎所有」主要爭議點原則上都已解決，意味雙方可能即將取得突破性進展。猶他州共和黨眾議員伯吉斯·歐文斯（Burgess Owens）表示，這項協議是「走向持久和平的非常積極的一步」；肯塔基州共和黨眾議員布雷特·格思里（Brett Guthrie）則稱：「我祈禱這次的敵對狀態終結能夠長久維持。」此前川普曾威脅若伊朗不與華盛頓達成協議，就會消滅「整個文明」，當時有少數共和黨議員罕見地對總統提出譴責。威斯康辛州共和黨參議員羅恩·強森（Ron Johnson）在週二上線的播客節目中表示，他希望總統只是在「放狠話」，美國「並沒有與伊朗人民開戰」，反而是在「設法解放他們」。阿拉斯加州共和黨參議員麗莎·穆爾科斯基（Lisa Murkowski）則在川普宣布停火的數小時前，於社群媒體表示這項威脅「不能被搪塞為是與伊朗談判時爭取籌碼的手段」。部分保守派評論人士強調，要與伊朗神權政權執行任何永久和平協議都存在潛在難題。美國保守派媒體名人馬克·萊文（Mark Levin）週二晚間接受Fox News採訪時表示：「我不信任這個敵人；半個世紀以來的事實證明，這個敵人簽署的每一份協議都會違反。我們要怎麼執行這項協議？」「不足夠的」停火參議院少數黨領袖、紐約州民主黨員查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）在社群媒體聲明中表示，他「很高興川普退讓了，現在正拼命想從自己荒謬的狠話中找台階下」。其他民主黨人士則批評這項協議不足以終結敵對狀態，眾議院少數黨領袖、紐約州民主黨員哈基姆·傑佛里斯（Hakeem Jeffries）接受CNN採訪時表示「為期兩周的停火完全不足夠」。川普在伊朗戰爭中發出的暴力與局勢升級威脅，引發了大眾對其可能犯下戰爭罪的擔憂，也促使議員與批評人士討論援引規定總統繼任程序的《第25修正案》，甚至可能對其發起彈劾。紐約州民主黨眾議員亞歷山德里亞·奧卡西奧-科爾特斯（Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez）在社群媒體表示，川普關於停火協議的聲明「沒有改變任何事」。奧卡西奧-科爾特斯補充稱：「總統已經威脅要對伊朗人民實施種族滅絕，且還在繼續把這項威脅當作談判籌碼。他在沒有正當理由、合理依據，也未獲得國會授權的情況下，發動了一場風險極高、後果災難性的大規模戰爭，這是對憲法再明顯不過的違反。這種情況每多持續一天，這些行為給我們國家和世界帶來的風險與違法性都會進一步升級。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Australia’s Gambling Ad Restrictions Forecast to Yield Limited Reduction in Betting Activity iGame

Australia’s Gambling Ad Restrictions Forecast to Yield Limited Reduction in Betting Activity

7 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Australia's forthcoming limitations on gambling advertisements are anticipated to result in a minor decrease in betting activity, according to a recent government evaluation. Officials are defending these reforms as essential for reducing exposure, particularly among younger demographics. Australia Rejects Full Gambling Ad Ban Despite Higher Savings An analysis conducted within the office of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese projects that the changes will lead to a reduction in national gambling expenditure by AUD 62.7 million ($44.3 million), which equates to approximately 0.8% of total spending. Although this impact is modest, the report indicates that the measures will still decrease the frequency with which Australians encounter wagering advertisements across various media platforms, as reported by The Guardian. The same assessment indicates that a complete ban on gambling advertising would have yielded greater overall benefits, reducing spending by over AUD 100 million ($70.7 million) annually. However, such a measure was deemed to have significant economic repercussions for broadcasters, sporting organizations, and digital platforms that depend on advertising revenue. The government's strategy centers on targeted restrictions. Television broadcasts will have caps on gambling advertisements during daytime and early evening hours, while radio promotions will be limited during school commute times. Advertising will also be removed from stadiums and team uniforms, and public figures, including athletes and celebrities, will no longer be permitted to endorse betting services. “Triple-Lock” Plan Expands Crackdown on Online Betting Ads Online platforms are a key focus of these reforms. A “triple-lock” system will mandate that users must be logged in, verified as adults, and have the option to opt out before they can be shown gambling advertisements. This framework is expected to be widely applied, encompassing streaming services, podcasts, social media, and even official websites and applications associated with major sports leagues. This policy follows years of political and public pressure, stemming from a parliamentary inquiry led by the late MP Peta Murphy, which recommended extensive changes, including a phased-in total ban on online gambling promotions. While the government has not adopted a complete ban, it asserts that the current package represents a balanced approach. Officials contend that the objective is to safeguard children from continuous exposure to betting content while still allowing adults to participate in gambling. The prime minister has indicated that more specific details will be provided when the legislation is presented to parliament. Reactions to the proposed changes are varied. Industry groups have voiced concerns that the restrictions could disrupt funding models for sports and media, while some operators have warned that stringent rules might inadvertently drive consumers towards unregulated offshore platforms. Concurrently, reform advocates have expressed disappointment, arguing that the measures do not go far enough to address gambling-related harm. Despite criticism from both sides, the government maintains that these reforms signify a substantial alteration in the management of gambling advertising in Australia. The implementation is anticipated to impact numerous businesses across the sector. This article is provided by a third-party.

Optimove Acquires Smartico in iGaming CRM Transaction iGame

Optimove Acquires Smartico in iGaming CRM Transaction

7 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Optimove has entered into an agreement to acquire Smartico, with the deal structured to allow both companies to operate independently. Their respective brands, teams, product roadmaps, and day-to-day operational control will remain separate, and the Smartico founding team will retain full authority over the company’s strategy and daily operations. The transaction was announced on April 6 and is expected to close in the coming weeks, with no financial terms disclosed. Good to Know The founding team of Smartico — Arman Gal, Anton Antropov, Sergey Kobitskiy, and Yuval Mechoullam — will continue to lead the company. Smartico’s product suite encompasses CRM automation tools, gamification features, bonus utilities, AI models, jackpot systems, free-to-play mini-games, and raffle platforms. This acquisition marks Optimove’s fourth, following its purchases of DynamicMail, Axonite, and Adact. Optimove Maintains Smartico’s Independence in New CRM Acquisition Instead of folding Smartico into its existing product stack, Optimove is supporting a dual-brand framework. This choice is significant because both companies compete in the same iGaming CRM market: Optimove focuses on data-driven CRM and AI-powered decisioning tools, while Smartico has built its brand around CRM solutions directly integrated with gamification. Optimove has confirmed that both platforms will continue to compete in the marketplace. The timing of the deal is not arbitrary. Optimove cited that the global online gambling market was valued at $95.3 billion in 2024, with industry forecasts projecting a value of $185.17 billion by 2033, even as operators face increasingly regulated markets and heightened compliance pressures across regions. Smartico is the newer of the two companies. Founded in Bulgaria, its leadership team consists of Arman Gal, Anton Antropov, Sergey Kobitskiy, and Yuval Mechoullam. Its platform combines CRM automation with missions, badges, tournaments, jackpots, free-to-play mini-games, bonus tools, raffles, and AI models all within a single unified platform.Optimove is the more established business. Co-founded by Pini Yakuel in 2012, the company announced in 2021 that it had been bootstrapped for its first five years before securing a $75 million investment round led by Summit Partners. Summit also shared that Optimove has offices in Tel Aviv, New York, and London, and has maintained healthy profit margins while scaling its operations. The Smartico acquisition also aligns with Optimove’s long-term acquisition strategy. After prior deals for DynamicMail and Axonite, Optimove purchased gamification firm Adact in March 2025, meaning this latest purchase strengthens its strategy that has leaned into both mergers and acquisitions and organic product expansion.

Ripple Observes Africa’s Crypto Regulations Taking Form iGame

Ripple Observes Africa’s Crypto Regulations Taking Form

7 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Ripple noted that Africa’s digital asset policy is no longer a single unified narrative. It is evolving into a patchwork of national regulatory frameworks, each advancing at its own unique pace, with South Africa, Kenya, Mauritius, and Nigeria leading the majority of current regulatory efforts. Good to Know Ripple reports that roughly eight African nations currently have some form of crypto-specific regulation, with additional countries still developing formal regulatory frameworks. Chainalysis shared that Sub-Saharan Africa received over $205 billion in on-chain transaction value between July 2024 and June 2025, marking a roughly 52% year-over-year increase. Ripple ties this heightened demand to remittances, cross-border trade, mobile-first financial services, and rising stablecoin adoption. Africa’s Crypto Regulations Continue to Take Form This analysis begins with adoption usage rather than regulatory policy. Chainalysis found that Sub-Saharan Africa was the third-fastest-growing crypto region in its 2025 regional study, supported by retail activity, trade flows, and widespread use of digital assets in areas where banking access and cross-border payment options remain limited. Ripple uses this context to argue that clearer regulations are now becoming a key part of the next phase of market expansion. South Africa remains the most prominent example of a mature regulatory framework. Ripple noted that crypto assets are classified as financial products there, and service providers must register and operate under the oversight of the FSCA and FIC. Kenya is at a later stage of development but still making progress, with a legal framework for virtual asset service providers now enacted and still being refined through public consultation. Mauritius has expanded its licensing requirements and added guidance for stablecoins, while Nigeria has integrated digital assets into its securities regulatory framework and relaxed prior banking restrictions on licensed service providers. Beyond that leading group, the regulatory landscape becomes more inconsistent. Ripple shared that Ghana has implemented initial registration requirements, while Botswana, Namibia, and Seychelles are either drafting or implementing crypto-specific regulations. Ethiopia, Morocco, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda are still in earlier review phases, evaluating how digital asset policy can align with local financial priorities. What makes this region so compelling isn’t just its adoption scale, but the types of usage seen. Chainalysis reported that the share of transactions under $10,000 is higher in Sub-Saharan Africa than anywhere else globally, indicating strong retail engagement. The firm also identified frequent high-value stablecoin transfers linked to trade and commercial payments, particularly in corridors connecting Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Ripple also highlighted mobile money as a key component of this ecosystem. The firm noted that a region already familiar with digital-first payments has a more natural transition to digital assets, particularly for remittances, settlement, treasury management, and access to stable foreign currency alternatives. Ripple summarized the wider argument in a single statement: “Africa remains one of the world’s most compelling regions for digital asset adoption and growth.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Legal Disputes Cloud Mayweather-Pacquiao Rematch Plans iGame

Legal Disputes Cloud Mayweather-Pacquiao Rematch Plans

7 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - The highly anticipated return bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is currently in limbo, plagued by legal disagreements and contradictory accounts regarding the event's future. High Financial Stakes Amid Mayweather’s Contractual Doubts Originally set for September 19 at Las Vegas's cutting-edge Sphere, the match was promoted as a top-tier professional fight for global broadcast. However, according to The Las Vegas Review-Journal, Mayweather's recent assertions that the bout is merely an exhibition—and potentially at a different location—have triggered legal worries and public debate. Pacquiao's camp asserts that several contracts were already signed for a sanctioned pro match. These deals involve significant financial obligations, with potential breach-of-contract fines reaching hundreds of millions. The matter is further complicated by allegations that Mayweather has accepted upfront payments and leveraged his projected revenue for loans. Pacquiao’s representatives argue the contract is unambiguous. They maintain the agreement was always for a competitive professional match rather than an exhibition, claiming all involved parties understood these conditions during the signing process. Mayweather’s Busy 2026 Calendar Triggers Legal Dispute Adding to the friction is Mayweather's reported lineup of other bouts through 2026. This includes a potential exhibition with kickboxer Mike Zambidis, which Pacquiao’s side claims breaches their deal. A rumored match against Mike Tyson remains unconfirmed, further muddying Mayweather’s availability. Promoters have cautioned that these conflicting dates could result in Mayweather breaching various contracts, potentially leading to heavy legal and financial penalties. Attorneys are now involved, and Mayweather has been given a timeline to clarify his plans and settle the dispute. Time is of the essence, as Sphere organizers require a decision within weeks to manage the complex production requirements.

共和黨克雷·富勒當選喬治亞州議員，取代瑪喬麗·泰勒·格林

7 4 月, 2026
美國總統唐納·川普（右）在喬治亞州羅馬市的Coosa Steel Corporation，看著共和黨國會候選人克萊·富勒發言，攝於2026年2月19日。—Chip Somodevilla—Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - 根據美聯社報導，共和黨人克萊·富勒於週二鎖定勝局，贏得了一場特別決選，將代表喬治亞州深紅的第14國會選區。富勒將完成前共和黨眾議員瑪喬麗·泰勒·格林剩餘的任期——格林曾是川普總統的堅定支持者和盟友，但於今年一月辭職，並成為對總統最突出的批評者之一。富勒是一名退伍軍人和地區檢察官，他在一個川普於2024年拿下68%選票的選區中，對上了民主黨人肖恩·哈里斯。獲得川普背書的富勒勝選，將共和黨在眾議院的微弱多數優勢擴大到218席對214席，而民主黨則希望今年期中選舉的「藍色浪潮」能讓他們奪回眾議院控制權。在格林近期與川普及共和黨多數派決裂的背景下，富勒以「MAGA戰士」的身份競選，試圖「保持喬治亞州紅」。格林拒絕為接替她的選舉背書任何人。她與川普的激烈決裂源於政府對愛潑斯坦檔案（Epstein Files）的處理、川普介入以色列與加薩的戰爭，以及政府與伊朗的衝突。「這絕非我們在2024年壓倒性勝選時對美國人民的承諾，」格林週日在X平台上回應川普對伊朗的威脅時表示，川普威脅若伊朗領導人不開放荷姆茲海峽將採取行動。週二，她將川普要消滅「整個文明」的威脅描述為「邪惡與瘋狂」。週二的特別選舉，初步揭示了伊朗戰爭可能如何影響選民的決定。雖然富勒和哈里斯都是退伍軍人，但他們對川普戰爭的看法截然不同。在3月23日的一場辯論中，富勒在伊朗問題上完全支持川普，稱由於總統的行動，美國「更安全了」。他在辯論中談到伊朗時說：「這是一個無法與之談判的死亡邪教。」「我們現在所處的這場戰爭是一場選擇性戰爭，」哈里斯在同一場活動中反駁道。「重點應該放在如何重振經濟、如何照顧我們的農民，以及如何照顧喬治亞州西北部所有勤勞的人民。」身為養牛農的哈里斯也批評這場戰爭導致石油、燃料和肥料價格飆升。富勒曾在2020年與格林競爭共和黨提名，他將完成格林的任期至2027年1月。但如果他想在1月之後繼續留在國會，就必須在5月19日的共和黨初選中獲得黨內支持，以便在11月再次對陣民主黨人。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

MHI and Algomatic Win Second Place in the NEDO GENIAC‑PRIZE Program JCN Newswire

MHI and Algomatic Win Second Place in the NEDO GENIAC‑PRIZE Program

7 4 月, 2026
TOKYO, Apr 8, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Algomatic Co., Ltd. won second prize at GENIAC-PRIZE,(1) a prize competition organized by Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), for a joint project centered on the theme of "Formalizing tacit knowledge in manufacturing."MHI and Algomatic jointly submitted a proposal to formalize tacit knowledge by examining videos of expert and novice workers, using TIG welding(2) as an example. TIG welding is a high-quality welding method that underpins a wide range of MHI products, from energy plants to rockets. However, it is difficult to master, with quality and work time varying depending on the skill level of the welder, and skill transfer is an issue. The project proposal involved simply shooting and uploading videos of welding work conducted by expert and novice welders, and having an agent AI automatically analyze the difference. The optimal approach was selected from among multiple analysis modules to extract and illustrate differences in skills, including embodied knowledge, from multiple perspectives. The use of AI allows skills that are difficult to articulate to be systematically accumulated as explicit knowledge, while also enabling technical evaluation and feedback for less skilled welders.In the manufacturing industry, experienced workers accumulate skills as tacit knowledge, and the communication and standardization of such knowledge has long been an issue. This project, by comparing the work of expert and novice welders, aims to elucidate embodied knowledge, and is expected to contribute to more efficient transfer of skills, and improve productivity in manufacturing. It is an important first step towards practical application of this technology in the future.Based on its Innovative Total Optimization (ITO) corporate strategy, MHI is working to halve lead times and improve business productivity based on a concept of "overall optimization," while also establishing material targets for the growth strategy of each business from the perspective of domain expansion. Going forward, MHI will pursue the practical application of this technology, and contribute to the transfer of skills and productivity improvement in manufacturing.(1) The GENIAC-PRIZE is a prize competition run by NEDO aimed at accelerating the real-world application of generative AI. A total of about 800 million yen is awarded under four themes of "Formalizing tacit knowledge in manufacturing", "Improving customer support productivity", "Development of generative AI to streamline administrative review tasks", and "Development of technologies for risk discovery and mitigation in generative AI". At the final judging and awards ceremony held on March 24, 2026, 42 projects were awarded prizes from more than 200 entries. See the following website for details. https://geniac-prize.nedo.go.jp/(Japanese Only)(2) Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is a type of arc welding using a tungsten electrode and an inert shielding gas such as argon.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

2026年的下一個大型加密貨幣：BlockDAG、Solana、XRP和Cardano——數據說明了什麼 Business

2026年的下一個大型加密貨幣：BlockDAG、Solana、XRP和Cardano——數據說明了什麼

7 4 月, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - 每隔幾個月，市場就會掀起一波關於值得關注的下一個加密貨幣巨頭的新猜測。目前，有四個名字脫穎而出：BlockDAG (BDAG)、Solana (SOL)、XRP 和 Cardano (ADA)。每個項目都講述著截然不同的故事。 有些受到機構興趣激增的支持。有些則乘著生態系統的發展勢頭。還有一個正處於市場尚未完全定價的上市前價格水平。以下將以直接的、數據支持的角度審視這四個項目：正在發生什麼、數據說明了什麼，以及每個項目為何值得現在關注。 1. BlockDAG: 主流市場尚未觸及的預上市定價 在市場週期起飛前尋找下一個加密貨幣巨頭時，進場點位與項目本身同等重要，而 BlockDAG (BDAG) 目前正處於近期記憶中最不尋常的上市前設定之一。當前的進場價格為 0.000016 美元，相對於當前市場定價有 115 倍的上行空間。這不是預測或價格目標。這是 BDAG 目前在其預售階段的位置，與市場在交易所完全開放訪問之前已經為其定價的位置之間的差距。 這與典型的代幣發行不同之處在於，未來幾週內密集排程的里程碑。交易所上市即將開始。緊隨其後的是 TGE（代幣生成事件），開啟全面公開交易的大門。到四月下旬，該代幣將實現完全的交易所覆蓋。整個五月，重點將轉向透過 DEX 整合和 LP 獎勵計劃實現去中心化流動性。六月將帶來最重磅的基礎設施推進——一個超級應用程式、借貸市場、預言機整合，以及一個基於有向無環圖（DAG）技術構建的 dApp 生態系統，該技術專為高速、可擴展的區塊鏈操作而設計。 日期已定，交易所已確認，預售窗口有嚴格的截止日期。每一個里程碑的達成，都會縮小預售價格與公開市場價格之間的差距。對於任何關注下一個加密貨幣巨頭、並留意不對稱機會的投資者而言，115 倍的上行空間差距、硬性規定的 4 月 8 日交易所上市日期，以及正在關閉的預售窗口，幾乎沒有留下太多猶豫的空間。 2. Solana: 強勁的基本面得到真實鏈上增長的支持 Solana 持續出現在分析師報告中，被視為下一個加密貨幣巨頭的有力競爭者，而鏈上數據支持這種關注。SOL 的鏈上收入在 2025 年同比增長了 186%，反映了在經歷 2022 年的動盪後，開發者和用戶的真正回歸。機構興趣也隨之而來。2025 年底推出的 Solana ETF 在連續 19 天內吸引了約 4.76 億美元的資金流入——這表明大型參與者認為 SOL 比更成熟的 Bitcoin 或 Ethereum 有更大的上漲空間。 目前交易價格約為 82.37 美元，關鍵水平如下：80 美元是當前支撐位，85 美元是下一個阻力位。若跌破 80 美元，則可能跌向 78 美元。Bitcoin 穩定在 69,000 美元上方仍然是關鍵的宏觀觸發因素。分析師預測，到 2026 年底，看漲情境下的價格區間為 280 至 340 美元，部分驅動力來自計劃中的 Firedancer 驗證器升級，該升級旨在將吞吐量推向更高水平。 3. XRP: 監管清晰度為更廣泛的採用打開了大門 XRP 多年來一直處於監管壓力之下，但法律環境的轉變已顯著改變了基調。在過去一年中，該代幣從約 0.50 美元攀升至 2.15 美元——漲幅達 330%，這主要是在美國新政治領導層下監管清晰度出現後，信心重燃所驅動。對於追蹤具有實際支付用例的下一個加密貨幣巨頭的投資者而言，XRP 有一個具體的論點：Ripple 的網絡現在連接了 45 個國家的 300 多家銀行和金融科技合作夥伴，每年處理約 150 億美元的支付。 目前 XRP 交易價格為 1.35 美元。關鍵水平：若收盤價突破 1.35 美元阻力位，目標看向 1.40 美元；若未能突破，則可能跌回 1.28 美元的支撐位。分析師警告稱，XRP 的價格走勢很大程度上仍由市場情緒驅動，Ripple 支付通道的更廣泛採用將決定其長期上行空間。 4. Cardano: 鏈上指標引發對其持久力的質疑 當人們搜尋下一個加密貨幣巨頭時，Cardano 經常被提及，但鏈上數據講述了一個更複雜的故事。ADA 曾一度被定位為 Ethereum 的嚴肅競爭者，但一直難以建立能夠驅動代幣持續價值的開發者活動和 DeFi 生態系統。 Nansen 執行長 Alex Svanevik 公開預測，Cardano 將在 2026 年前跌出前 20 大加密貨幣之列，並指出其活躍用戶基礎低，稱其為「幽靈鏈」。 Cardano 目前交易價格約為 0.255 美元。0.25 美元是需要守住的支撐位，接近 0.27 美元的 50 日指數移動平均線是下一個目標。若跌破 0.25 美元，則可能跌至 0.24 美元。關注 ADA 的投資者應在做出任何長期承諾前，密切追蹤鎖定總價值、交易筆數和開發者活動等鏈上指標。 最終結論：哪一個是值得採取行動的下一個加密貨幣巨頭？ 所有四種代幣的數據描繪出了一幅清晰的圖景。Solana 擁有真實的生態系統動能，得到 186% 收入增長和 4.76 億美元 ETF 流入的支持。XRP 帶來了真實的支付用例、300 多家銀行合作夥伴和 150 億美元的年交易量。Cardano 顯示出短期的價格走勢，但在開發者活動和長期相關性方面面臨嚴重質疑，並被預測將在 2026 年前退出前 20 名。 然後是 BlockDAG (BDAG)，價格位於 0.000016 美元，相對於當前市場定價有 115 倍的上行空間差距，全球交易所即將啟動，並且規劃了直至六月的完整生態系統推出路線圖。對於任何認真想在主流市場為其定價之前找到下一個加密貨幣巨頭的人來說，BDAG 在這四者中提供了最不對稱的機會設定，且剩餘的行動窗口期最短。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Combines Dividends and Share Buybacks in Tandem, Returning Approximately HK$6.877 Billion to Shareholders Over Eight Years

7 4 月, 2026
HONG KONG, Apr 8, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) has continued to step up returns to shareholders. Data shows that since Chairman Zhao Tianyang took office in 2018, the company has returned approximately HK$6.877 billion to shareholders in total, including HK$5.98 billion in cumulative dividends (including announced but not yet distributed dividends for 2026) and HK$897 million in cumulative share buybacks. The parallel implementation of dividends and buybacks demonstrates that, while continuously improving its operating quality, the company is also steadily strengthening its tangible cash returns to investors.Behind Shoucheng Holdings’ high level of shareholder returns lies the support of solid business fundamentals. Looking over a longer time horizon, since Chairman Zhao Tianyang assumed office in early 2018, the company’s total assets have grown from HK$8.186 billion to HK$15.57 billion, representing an approximately 1.9-fold increase over eight years and a compound annual growth rate of about 8.37%. Net profit attributable to shareholders increased from HK$57 million to HK$310 million, or about 5.4 times. This indicates that during the company’s strategic transformation, its profitability, asset depth, and capital market value have all improved continuously, laying a solid foundation for sustained dividends, buybacks, and business expansion. Meanwhile, the company’s financial structure has continued to improve. The latest annual report shows that in 2025, the ratio of net cash flow from operating activities to total assets increased by 98% year-on-year, while the asset-liability ratio fell to 28.4% and the interest-bearing debt ratio declined to 6.2%. This means that the company’s current high level of shareholder returns is not built on high-leverage overextension, but rather on proactive returns supported by an improved asset structure, stronger cash flow, and steady growth in its core businesses.As its operating fundamentals continue to strengthen, Shoucheng Holdings has also been increasing the intensity of its shareholder returns. According to the latest annual report, the board has decided to declare total annual dividends of HK$780 million, corresponding to a dividend yield of about 5.6% based on the company’s average annual market capitalization. As a cross-market reference, the dividend yield of the Hang Seng Index stood at 2.94% as of February 27, 2026. Shoucheng Holdings’ payout level is therefore clearly above this market benchmark, making it particularly attractive in the current Hong Kong stock market environment, where investors are placing greater emphasis on certainty of returns.In addition to continuous dividend payments, Shoucheng Holdings has also noticeably accelerated its share buyback efforts recently. According to the company’s latest disclosure, as of April 2, 2026, it had conducted 28 buybacks during the year, repurchasing a total of approximately 119 million shares for an aggregate amount of about HK$223 million. Since March 30 alone, the company has implemented buybacks on four consecutive trading days, with a cumulative repurchase amount of about HK$94.74 million. The clearly accelerated pace of recent buybacks not only reflects management’s recognition of the company’s long-term value, but also further reinforces the company’s proactive commitment to continuously rewarding shareholders and stabilizing market expectations.In the current market environment, listed companies capable of sustaining high-level dividends while simultaneously carrying out share buybacks are relatively rare. On the one hand, Shoucheng Holdings continues to enhance shareholder returns through dividends and buybacks; on the other hand, it is steadily consolidating its operating foundation through its dual core businesses of asset operations and industrial funds, gradually forming a virtuous cycle of “improving operations, deepening cash resources, and enhancing shareholder returns.” As the company continues to deliver on its shareholder return mechanism, its long-term investment value is expected to become increasingly evident.

首程控股（0697.HK）分紅回購並舉 8年累計回饋股東約68.77億港元

7 4 月, 2026
香港, 2026年4月8日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 首程控股（0697.HK）持續加大股東回報力度。數據顯示，自2018年趙天暘主席上任至今，公司累計回饋股東約68.77億港元，其中累計分紅59.8億港元（含2026年已公佈但尚未派付股息），累計回購8.97億港元。分紅與回購並舉，顯示出公司在持續提升經營質量的同時，也在不斷加強對投資者的真金白銀回饋。首程控股高水平股東回報的背後，有穩健的經營基本面作支撐。拉長時間維度來看，自2018年初趙天暘主席上任以來，公司總資產已由最初的81.86億港元增至155.7億港元，8年間增長至約1.9倍，年複合增長率約8.37%；歸母淨利潤由0.57億港元增至3.10億港元，增長至約5.4倍。這顯示公司在戰略轉型過程中，盈利能力、資產厚度及資本市場價值均實現持續提升，為公司持續分紅回購及業務拓展夯實了基礎。與此同時，公司財務結構持續優化。最新年報顯示，2025年公司經營活動現金流淨額佔總資產比率按年提升98%，資產負債率降至28.4%，有息負債率降至6.2%。這意味著，公司當前的高回報並非建立在高槓桿透支之上，而是建立在資產結構改善、現金流增強及主業穩步增長基礎上的主動回饋。隨著經營基本面持續夯實，首程控股回饋股東的力度亦不斷提升。最新年報顯示，董事會決定派發年度分紅總額7.8億港元，對應年度平均市值股息率約5.6%；作為橫向參照，恒生指數截至2026年2月27日的股息率為2.94%，首程控股上述派息水平明顯高於這一市場基準，亦令其在當前港股更重視確定性回報的環境中，展現出較強吸引力。除持續分紅外，首程控股近期在回購端的動作亦明顯提速。根據公司最新披露，截至2026年4月2日，公司年內已累計進行28次回購，合計回購約1.19億股，累計回購金額約2.23億港元。僅自3月30日以來，公司已連續4個交易日實施回購，累計回購金額約9,473.66萬港元。近期回購節奏明顯加快，既體現出管理層對公司長期價值的認可，也進一步強化了公司持續回饋股東、穩定市場預期的積極導向。在當前市場環境下，能夠持續實施高水平分紅，並同步開展回購的上市公司並不多見。首程控股一方面通過分紅與回購持續提升股東回報，另一方面依託資產營運和產業基金雙主業不斷夯實經營基礎，逐步形成「經營提質、現金增厚、回報提升」的良性循環。隨著股東回報機制持續兌現，公司長期投資價值有望進一步顯現。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
