  • CMS(867.HK/8A8.SG): Ruxolitinib Phosphate Cream Approved in Singapore, Filling Gap in Vitiligo Treatment

    SHENZHEN, CHINA – China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Rxilient Medical received approval from the Health Sciences Authority of Singapore (HSA) on 3 November 2026 for the New Drug Application (NDA) of ruxolitinib phosphate cream (the “Product” or “Lumirix®”) for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age. It is the first and only topical prescription drug in Singapore that directly targets the pathophysiological mechanism of vitiligo[1], meeting a long-standing unmet clinical need.

    This approval fills a gap in the field of vitiligo treatment in Singapore. In addition to Singapore, Rxilient Medical has already launched sales of Lumirix® (vitiligo indication) in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region and Taiwan Region.

    Since 2022, the Group has launched its “Industry Internationalization” strategy, using Singapore as its business hub in emerging markets to build a highly efficient and collaborative value loop across the entire industry chain of “R&D, production, and sales.” Rxilient Medical is the Group’s commercialization subsidiary for entering emerging markets. With “global localization” as its core strategy, it is committed to bringing innovative global therapies to emerging markets and benefiting local patients through its full-chain commercialization capabilities covering drug import, development, registration, and marketing. Rxilient Medical is operated by a professional and highly experienced localized team. Headquartered in Singapore, the company has established subsidiaries or offices in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and the UAE. By the end of June 2026, Rxilient Medical had achieved sales for a cumulative total of 9 products across multiple countries and regions in Southeast Asia, and had cumulatively submitted marketing applications for more than 20 pharmaceutical products and medical devices, mapping out a robust and continuous product launch blueprint.

    About Vitiligo

    Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation of the skin, which results from the loss of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. It is estimated that approximately 0.7% of Singapore’s population suffers from vitiligo[2]. For decades, dermatologists in Singapore have relied on treatments such as steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and phototherapy — therapies that fail to specifically or adequately target the pathogenesis of vitiligo. The approval of Lumirix® in Singapore represents the first drug specifically for the regeneration of pigment in non-segmental vitiligo, filling a gap in the field of vitiligo treatment.

    More About Ruxolitinib Phosphate Cream

    Ruxolitinib phosphate cream (Opzelura®), a novel cream formulation of the selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib developed by Incyte, is the first and only drug approved for the repigmentation of non-segmental vitiligo by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)[3]. In the U.S., ruxolitinib phosphate cream is indicated for the topical treatment of non-segmental vitiligo in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older, and for the short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in non-immunocompromised patients aged 2 years and older whose disease is not well controlled with topical prescription therapies, or when those therapies are not advisable. In Europe, ruxolitinib phosphate cream is approved for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older with facial involvement, and moderate atopic dermatitis in adults whose disease remains inadequately controlled despite treatment with topical corticosteroids and topical calcineurin inhibitors[4].

    In January 2026, ruxolitinib phosphate cream was approved for marketing by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China, becoming the first topical JAK inhibitor approved in China for the treatment of vitiligo, and has since been commercialized in China. Subsequently, in September 2026, the Product was approved for an additional indication of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (“AD”), for the topical short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate AD in non-immunocompromised adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older whose disease is not adequately controlled with other topical therapies or when those therapies are not advisable. This further expands the Product’s application in the field of dermatological diseases.

    In two identical Phase III double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies (TRuE-V1 and TRuE-V2) conducted overseas, the proportion of patients achieving the primary efficacy endpoint of at least 75% improvement in the Facial Vitiligo Area Score Index (F-VASI 75) after 24 weeks of treatment with ruxolitinib phosphate cream was 29.9% in both studies, significantly higher than the 7.5% and 12.9% in the placebo groups, respectively. Continued use up to 52 weeks showed sustained repigmentation[5].

    The Group, through a subsidiary of Dermavon, entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Incyte for ruxolitinib phosphate cream on 2 December 2022, obtaining an exclusive license to develop, register and commercialize the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and eleven Southeast Asian countries (the “Territory”) and a non-exclusive license to manufacture the Product in the Territory. The subsidiary of Dermavon has sublicensed the relevant rights for the Product outside Mainland China to the Group (excluding Dermavon and its subsidiary).

    Incyte has worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib phosphate cream, marketed in the United States and Europe as Opzelura®. Opzelura® and the Opzelura® logo are registered trademarks of Incyte. Lumirix® is a registered trademark of the Group.

  • Joseph Grinkorn: Elon Musk and Starlink Could Take Over the Global Telecom Industry Within Three Years – Traditional Telecom Giants on Notice

    Morris Group CEO Predicts a Massive Telecommunications Revolution as Satellite Technology Threatens to Make Traditional Cellular Networks Obsolete

    NEW YORK, NY, USA – Joseph Grinkorn, investment expert and CEO of Morris Group, is making another bold prediction: Elon Musk’s Starlink could become one of the most powerful forces in global telecommunications, fundamentally changing how the world communicates within the next three years.

    Grinkorn believes Musk is preparing to disrupt an industry that has been dominated for decades by traditional mobile carriers and Internet providers. With SpaceX’s rapidly expanding satellite network and Starlink’s direct-to-cell ambitions, the future of telecommunications may no longer depend on thousands of cellular towers and traditional infrastructure.

    The numbers show how fast that network is growing. Starlink passed 12 million subscribers by mid-2026 and now operates more than 10,000 satellites in low Earth orbit. In 2025, SpaceX also agreed to acquire EchoStar’s AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licenses in a deal worth about $17 billion. U.S. regulators cleared the sale in May 2026, giving Starlink frequencies of its own for direct-to-cell service.

    Grinkorn identifies several reasons why Starlink could become the next global telecommunications powerhouse:

    • The End of Traditional Telecom Dominance: Starlink could challenge the business models of major cellular providers by delivering connectivity directly from space.
    • A Global Mobile Network: Satellite-to-cell technology could eventually allow consumers to connect their smartphones virtually anywhere on Earth. SpaceX has already launched more than 600 direct-to-cell satellites.
    • Internet Without Borders: Starlink has the potential to eliminate geographical limitations and bring high-speed connectivity to underserved markets worldwide. The service already reaches customers in more than 160 countries and territories.
    • A Trillion-Dollar Industry at Risk: Traditional telecommunications companies could face enormous competitive pressure as satellite technology advances.
    • Musk’s Next Billion-Dollar Revolution: Following the overhaul of electric vehicles and commercial spaceflight, Musk could now reshape the global communications industry.
    • The Three-Year Window: Grinkorn believes the next three years could be critical in determining the future leaders of the global telecommunications market.

    Joseph Grinkorn’s Statement

    “Elon Musk isn’t simply building another Internet company. He’s building the infrastructure for the future of global communications. I believe we are approaching a point where satellites could fundamentally change the way the world connects.

    Traditional telecom companies should be very concerned. Starlink has the potential to become a dominant global communications platform, and investors who underestimate this change could miss one of the biggest technological shifts of our generation.”

    Grinkorn believes the telecommunications industry is approaching a historic turning point and that Starlink could emerge as one of the most important companies in the global technology and communications market.

    What Comes Next

    Carriers are already adjusting. EchoStar’s Boost Mobile customers are set to gain access to Starlink’s direct-to-cell service, and T-Mobile has worked with Starlink on satellite texting in the United States. SpaceX has also set a target of user speeds up to 150 Mbps for its upgraded direct-to-cell service.

    Watch how fast carriers sign satellite partnerships and how quickly subscriber numbers climb. Those signals will show whether the three-year window Grinkorn describes is opening on schedule.

  • Dubai Studio Astra Labs Passes 1,500 Custom Website Designs by Showing Small Business Owners a Finished Website Before They Pay

    The studio designs a complete website concept from each business’s own photos, videos and words, so owners judge the real thing first and decide afterwards.

    Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 4th Nov 2026 – Astra Labs, the website studio of Dubai media house LUX Media Network, has now created more than 1,500 custom website designs for real small businesses across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. Founded in April 2026, the studio has built its approach around one simple idea. A small business owner should see their finished website before they are asked to pay for it.

    For most small businesses, getting a new website still follows the same pattern it did twenty years ago. The owner explains what they need, pays a deposit, waits several weeks, and only then sees what they paid for. Many owners have been through that process at least once and come away with a site that looks like a template, does not sound like them, and is hard to change. As a result, a large share of local businesses keep running on websites that are years out of date, even when they know it is costing them customers.

    Astra Labs reverses that order. Before any conversation about money, the studio designs a complete working website concept around the business. Its team studies the company’s existing site, social media, reviews and photography, then writes every page in the owner’s own voice and builds the design around their real work. The owner receives a live link and can click through the finished concept on their phone, the same way their customers would.

    “Most small business owners have been burned by a website project at least once. They paid up front, waited, and got something that didn’t look like them,” said a spokesperson for Astra Labs. “We flipped that around. We do the work first, the owner sees their own business presented properly, and only then do we talk about starting. If they don’t like it, they’ve lost nothing but a few minutes.”

    How the process works

    The Astra Labs process is designed to remove the guesswork that usually surrounds a website project.

    First, the studio builds the concept. Every site is hand built in custom code rather than assembled from a template or a page builder, which keeps pages fast on mobile and gives the studio full freedom over the design. The concept uses the business’s own photos and videos wherever possible, so owners see their own work, team and premises rather than stock images.

    Second, the owner reviews it. Each concept includes a simple page where the owner can ask for any change, from a single line of text to a new section or a different photo. Changes are made with the owner until they are happy with every page.

    Third, the site goes live on the business’s own domain. Astra Labs moves existing pages and redirects old addresses so that businesses keep the place they have already earned on Google. Enquiry forms, privacy pages and connections to the owner’s Google and Meta accounts are set up as part of the launch.

    Clear pricing for small businesses

    Astra Labs publishes its pricing openly. A typical custom website costs $499 in total. Owners start with $99, every change they ask for during the build is included, and the remaining balance is only due once they are happy with the result, before the site goes live on their domain. Where a business needs more, such as moving a large existing site, an online shop or online booking, the extra cost is shown up front on the concept itself, so there are no surprises later.

    The studio also offers optional ongoing care after launch, covering hosting, security, updates and small monthly changes, for owners who prefer not to manage their website themselves. Owners who would rather host the site themselves can do so.

    Built for local and service businesses

    Astra Labs works mainly with local and owner-led businesses, including tradespeople, contractors, clinics, salons, photographers, coaches, restaurants, cleaning companies, consultants and specialist retailers. Many of these businesses earn most of their work through word of mouth and repeat customers, and their website is often the first thing a new customer checks before picking up the phone.

    “A plumber, a dentist or a removals company doesn’t need a website that wins design awards,” the spokesperson added. “They need one that looks as good as the work they actually do, loads fast on a phone, and makes it easy for a customer to call or book. That’s what we design for.”

    Because each concept is built from the business’s own material, no two sites look alike. The studio’s design library now spans hundreds of industries, from local trades and clinics to creative studios and hospitality.

    A Dubai media house with a global client base

    Astra Labs is part of LUX Media Network, a private media house based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. LUX Media Network also operates BY LUX, a premium studio creating signature digital experiences for brands and founders. Together, the studios bring the standards of a full creative agency to businesses that have usually been priced out of that level of work.

    The first Astra Labs client websites are now live on their own domains, and the studio continues to design new concepts for small businesses every week.

    What comes next

    Over the coming months, Astra Labs plans to expand its library of industry-specific designs and publish practical guides for small business owners on how to choose, plan and maintain a website that brings in customers. The studio will continue to offer every business a finished concept to see before any commitment.

    Business owners who would like to see what their own website could look like can contact the studio through its website.

    About Astra Labs

    Astra Labs designs and builds custom websites for small and local businesses, showing each owner a finished concept built from their own content before they commit. Websites are hand built in custom code, shaped with the owner until they are happy, and launched on the business’s own domain. Astra Labs is part of LUX Media Network.

  • MiniCabRide Simplifies Winter Travel with Fixed-Fare UK Airport & Long Distance Transfers

    MiniCabRide is promoting its 24-7 pre-booked airport, seaport and long-distance transfer services ahead of the busy winter and festive travel season. As a TfL-licensed private hire operator, the company offers fixed fares with no surge pricing, professional licensed drivers, flight monitoring, meet-and-greet services, and a wide range of vehicles. With more than 500 vehicles and driver partners, MiniCabRide serves passengers across London and the UK while expanding its electric vehicle fleet, with an ambition to transition to an all-electric fleet by 2030. TfL-licensed private hire operator offering 24-7 pre-booking, no surge pricing and a rapidly expanding electric fleet as the festive travel season kicks in.

    London, United Kingdom, 4th Nov 2026 – MiniCabRide LTD (a TfL-licensed private hire operator) are today promoting their pre-booked airport, seaport and long-distance minicab services for travellers throughout London and the UK. With the winter rush around the corner, they are urging customers to book in advance and lock in a fixed fare before demand increases.

    MiniCabRide Simplifies Winter Travel with Fixed-Fare UK Airport & Long Distance Transfers

    From half-term and Christmas getaways to business trips, cruise departures, and other festive events, winter is one of the UK’s busiest travel periods of the year. MiniCabRide gives customers a reliable alternative to the chaos of unpredictable pricing and last-minute searches. You get a guaranteed price, a licensed driver, and a vehicle sized for your group, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    Fixed, Transparent Fares With No Surge Pricing

    Price uncertainty is the biggest complaint passengers have when booking private transport. MiniCabRide deals with this head-on with a fixed fare. You get a firm quote before booking, so you know exactly what your journey will cost. There is no surge pricing applied by MiniCabRide, so the price you are quoted for your journey is not going to go up during periods of high demand, in the rain or at peak times.

    The fare displayed for a journey will be dependent on the pickup address, destination, vehicle type and any additional requirements (e.g. extra luggage space, child seats on Request). You can view your quote online or in the booking app prior to booking.

    “Travelling should be one less thing to worry about, especially during the busiest weeks of the year,” said Kevin Obrian, Media Manager of MiniCabRide. “Our customers tell us they value knowing the price upfront and knowing their driver will be there on time. That is what we aim to deliver on every booking.”

    Reliable Airport and Seaport Transfers

    Airport and seaport journeys are central to MiniCabRide’s service. The company provides pre-booked transfers to and from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, and London City airports, as well as major railway stations and cruise terminals, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Dover, and Tilbury.

    For arrivals, customers can provide their flight details at the time of booking so the driver can monitor any changes to the landing time. Meet and greet is available for those who prefer to be met at a pre-agreed point in the terminal, and drivers will assist with luggage at both ends of the journey. For cruise passengers, the company can arrange pickups to suit embarkation and disembarkation times and can use vehicles with space for the larger bags that are generally carried on longer holidays.

    MiniCabRide also takes passengers from the stations (King’s Cross, St Pancras International, Euston, Paddington and Victoria), so visitors can get to their final destination directly without changing transport.

    Long-Distance Journeys Across the UK

    Beyond London, MiniCabRide provides long-distance private transfers all over the UK. The main routes are, of course, London to Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton, Bath, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, as well as various seaside destinations, university towns, and regional airports.

    Long-distance bookings suit a wide range of passengers, including families visiting relatives, groups attending weddings and events, golfers heading to championship courses, students moving to or from university, and business travellers who need to work or rest on the way to an appointment. Because each fare is quoted individually, customers can compare vehicle options and choose the arrangement that best fits their group and budget.

    A Fleet for Every Type of Journey

    MiniCabRide’s fleet includes standard saloon cars for one or two passengers, estates for those with more luggage, MPVs for families, and executive cars for business trips and special occasions. Multi-passenger vehicles (6- and 8-seater) are also available for larger groups.

    Customers can request child and baby seats, and are encouraged to mention any special requirements when booking so the right vehicle can be arranged in advance. Every journey is driven by a fully licensed professional driver, with an emphasis on punctuality, customer care, and helpful luggage assistance.

    Licensed, Experienced and Customer-Focused

    Founded in 2020, MiniCabRide LTD is a licensed TfL-approved Private Hire Operator based in London (licence number 011021). It is one of the larger private hire minicab companies in the city with over 500 vehicles and driver partners.

    Customers should check that any private hire booking is via a licensed operator, that the driver has valid ID and that the vehicle has the correct licence. Booking in advance via a licensed operator rather than hailing an unbooked car is still the safest way to use a minicab in London.

    Customer feedback is central to the company’s approach. They have many customer reviews across public platforms and currently hold a 4.7 rating on both Google and Trustpilot.

    Easy Booking, Live Tracking and 24-7 Support

    MiniCabRide offers online and app-based booking, allowing customers to compare vehicles, receive a quotation and confirm a journey within minutes. Real-time vehicle tracking lets passengers follow their driver’s progress, while confirmation messages provide the details they need before travel day.

    A dedicated customer support team is on hand 24-7 to help with booking changes, special requests, or queries. For more frequent travellers, we offer business accounts that bring multiple journeys together on one platform, with consolidated invoicing and priority booking. These are designed for companies, event organisers and corporate travel managers.

    Preparing for the Festive Season

    The weeks around Christmas and the New Year see some of the year’s peak demand for transport. Airport departures peak in the days leading up to Christmas; there’s a massive influx of shoppers and tourists into central London for seasonal events and attractions, and, of course, long-distance trips to visit family and friends.

    MiniCabRide advises customers to:

    • Book early for airport and station journeys, particularly on busy weekends and the days around Christmas
    • Provide complete details, including flight numbers, terminals, passenger numbers and luggage, so the right vehicle can be assigned
    • Allow extra time for events, road closures and busy shopping areas in central London
    • Request child seats and larger vehicles when making the booking, rather than on the day
    • Plan return journeys at the same time, so both trips are confirmed in advance

    “Early booking gives the customer the most choice and the most peace of mind,” added Kevin Obrian. “If you know your dates, then it is definitely worth booking your transfer as early as you can.”

    Moving Towards a Greener Fleet

    MiniCabRide is focused on minimising the environmental impact of private hire travel. They’ve started introducing EVs into the fleet and aim to be an all-electric company by 2030. They’re also looking at autonomous vehicle options from 2035 as the technology and the regulatory environment develop.

    “Cleaner air in our cities matters to our customers, our drivers and the communities we serve,” said Kevin Obrian. “Moving to an electric fleet is a long-term commitment, and we will keep expanding our electric options as charging infrastructure and vehicle choice continue to improve.”

    Customers who want to travel in an electric vehicle are encouraged to ask about availability when they book.

    How to Book

    Passengers can book a MiniCabRide transfer online at minicabride.com, through the MiniCabRide mobile app, or by contacting the customer support team by phone at 0044 207 005 0090 or by email . Customers enter their pickup point, destination, date, time and passenger numbers to receive an instant fixed-fare quotation and select the vehicle that meets their needs.

    About MiniCabRide

    MiniCabRide is a trusted pre-booked minicab service that delivers reliable airport, seaport, and long-distance transfers across London and the UK. Operating 24-7, the company offers fixed, transparent fares without surge pricing, so customers always know their travel costs upfront.

  • Beyond the $40 Billion RWA Headline: Drofa Comms × RWA Summit Report Identifies Four Challenges for 2027

    London, The United Kingdom, November 3rd, 2026, FinanceWire

    The value of distributed tokenised real-world assets (RWAs) approached $40 billion by 13 October 2026, according to RWA.xyz. At the beginning of the year, though, it stood at approximately $21.5 billion, according to Binance Research. Yet, despite this near-doubling in value, the figures say little about how easily investors can trade these assets, use them as collateral or exercise their rights in cross-border transactions.

    This divergence between issuance and real-world use is the outset for “Tokenise First, Figure It Out Later: The RWA Dilemma”, a new report from Drofa Comms in collaboration with RWA WEEK, organiser of RWA Summit Singapore 2026. Drawing on discussions at the 9 October summit, where Drofa Comms participated as a media partner of RWA WEEK, the report examines what it takes for tokenised assets to develop functioning markets, meet legal requirements and deliver measurable financial benefits.

    Looking ahead to 2027, Drofa Comms identifies four indicators that offer a more useful measure of RWA market maturity than the total value of assets issued on-chain:

    • Secondary-market activity: Trading depth and turnover, alongside realistic opportunities for investors to sell tokens after issuance.
    • Institutional capital efficiency: Measurable reductions in pre-funding requirements and the ability to use tokenised holdings as collateral.
    • Legal certainty: Enforceable ownership and redemption rights, including workable arrangements for cross-border transactions.
    • Commercial sustainability: Repeat customer activity and revenues sufficient to support viable services.

    The report scrutinises how regulatory requirements differ between jurisdictions, what it takes to develop genuine secondary markets and how tokenised assets may function as collateral. It also examines institutional and everyday payments, from reducing pre-funded balances through stablecoin settlement to connecting digital assets with payment cards.

    “The RWA industry faces a test of maturity. As the value of tokenised assets grows, the question is how much of that growth translates into functioning markets, wider use by financial institutions and measurable economic benefits. Issuance figures alone cannot be the answer. At Drofa Comms, we believe that the industry’s development also depends on how openly companies address the challenges involved. Investors and financial institutions need enough information to assess both the opportunities and the limitations of tokenisation,” said Valentina Drofa, Founder & CEO of Drofa Comms.

    Beyond investment products, the report also highlights how digital assets are already being used in traditional industries.

    “Everyone is talking about the tokenization of financial products and real estate, but the real movement is happening in industries you probably wouldn’t expect. Think trade finance operators, the shipping industry, or precious metals mining businesses. They are already using stablecoins for cross-border transactions and understand why instant settlement is better than T+2.” said Ivan V. Ivanov, Founder of UVECON.VC, UVC GROUP and RWA WEEK commented on these developments.

    The report draws on perspectives from speakers and experts affiliated with TRM Labs, Galaxy, Sygnum Bank, Nethermind, Spartan Group, Theoriq, Reap, KAST, Algebra / Theorem, Drofa Comms and other organisations.

  • Beyond the $40 Billion RWA Headline: Drofa Comms × RWA Summit Report Identifies Four Challenges for 2027

    London, The United Kingdom, November 3rd, 2026, FinanceWire

    The value of distributed tokenised real-world assets (RWAs) approached $40 billion by 13 October 2026, according to RWA.xyz. At the beginning of the year, though, it stood at approximately $21.5 billion, according to Binance Research. Yet, despite this near-doubling in value, the figures say little about how easily investors can trade these assets, use them as collateral or exercise their rights in cross-border transactions.

    This divergence between issuance and real-world use is the outset for “Tokenise First, Figure It Out Later: The RWA Dilemma”, a new report from Drofa Comms in collaboration with RWA WEEK, organiser of RWA Summit Singapore 2026. Drawing on discussions at the 9 October summit, where Drofa Comms participated as a media partner of RWA WEEK, the report examines what it takes for tokenised assets to develop functioning markets, meet legal requirements and deliver measurable financial benefits.

    Looking ahead to 2027, Drofa Comms identifies four indicators that offer a more useful measure of RWA market maturity than the total value of assets issued on-chain:

    • Secondary-market activity: Trading depth and turnover, alongside realistic opportunities for investors to sell tokens after issuance.
    • Institutional capital efficiency: Measurable reductions in pre-funding requirements and the ability to use tokenised holdings as collateral.
    • Legal certainty: Enforceable ownership and redemption rights, including workable arrangements for cross-border transactions.
    • Commercial sustainability: Repeat customer activity and revenues sufficient to support viable services.

    The report scrutinises how regulatory requirements differ between jurisdictions, what it takes to develop genuine secondary markets and how tokenised assets may function as collateral. It also examines institutional and everyday payments, from reducing pre-funded balances through stablecoin settlement to connecting digital assets with payment cards.

    “The RWA industry faces a test of maturity. As the value of tokenised assets grows, the question is how much of that growth translates into functioning markets, wider use by financial institutions and measurable economic benefits. Issuance figures alone cannot be the answer. At Drofa Comms, we believe that the industry’s development also depends on how openly companies address the challenges involved. Investors and financial institutions need enough information to assess both the opportunities and the limitations of tokenisation,” said Valentina Drofa, Founder & CEO of Drofa Comms.

    Beyond investment products, the report also highlights how digital assets are already being used in traditional industries.

    “Everyone is talking about the tokenization of financial products and real estate, but the real movement is happening in industries you probably wouldn’t expect. Think trade finance operators, the shipping industry, or precious metals mining businesses. They are already using stablecoins for cross-border transactions and understand why instant settlement is better than T+2.” said Ivan V. Ivanov, Founder of UVECON.VC, UVC GROUP and RWA WEEK commented on these developments.

  • Made By WiFi Publishes a Free Year-End Guide to Help Offices Check Their WiFi Before Budgets Are Set

    The six-step guide takes office managers and IT leads through a coverage, equipment and security audit, a site survey, and a budget request.

    Long Island City, New York, United States, 3rd Nov 2026 – Made By WiFi, an enterprise wireless and event WiFi company, today published a free six-step guide that helps office managers, IT leads and operations teams review their office WiFi while budgets for the coming year are being planned.

    Office WiFi is easy to ignore until it fails, but budget season is when it is easiest to fund. A written list of what is actually wrong, such as a conference room that drops calls or an access point that has been running since before the last office move, carries far more weight in a budget request than a general complaint that the network is slow.

    The guide, “Year-End WiFi Checklist for Your Office,” breaks the review into six steps. The first four are a self-audit that a small office can complete in an afternoon: walking the space to note where the signal fails, taking stock of equipment and WiFi standards, checking security and guest access, and finding out who owns and monitors the network. Step five is a wireless site survey, which turns those observations into measurements. Step six puts the findings into a budget request.

    The guide also explains why timing matters. Once a budget is set, new spending has to be justified against items already approved. A survey, a written recommendation, approval and installation each take time. And equipment bought without a survey tends to leave some rooms with too many access points and others with too few.

    A site survey from Made By WiFi measures signal strength, coverage and interference, and produces a written report with coverage heatmaps, recommended access point positions and an equipment specification. The report is delivered in an industry-standard format and can be taken to any installer. Surveys are done on site in New York and New Jersey and remotely for businesses anywhere in the country. Businesses that are not ready for a survey can use Made By WiFi’s wireless network consulting for an independent view on what to do next.

    The full guide is available at https://madebywifi.com/blog/year-end-office-wifi-checklist/. 

    About Made By WiFi

    Made By WiFi designs, installs and supports enterprise wireless networks and provides WiFi for events. Since 2017, the company has helped businesses get reliable connectivity in offices, warehouses, hotels, healthcare facilities and temporary event spaces, with recommendations based on what each environment needs and not on a preferred brand. Hands-on work is delivered in New York and New Jersey, while wireless site surveys and 5G hotspot kit rentals are available to businesses across the United States.

  • MELT Global Chooses Sharjah as Headquarters for Its Operations

    SHARJAH, UAE, November 3rd, 2026, As part of its efforts to strengthen strategic partnerships and expand cooperation with global companies, Sharjah Asset Management, the exinvestment arm of the Government of Sharjah, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with MELT Global to strengthen collaboration and explore new opportunities that support the shared priorities and objectives of both parties. The agreement reflects Sharjah’s appeal as an investment destination and reinforces its position as an economic hub offering an integrated business environment that supports the establishment, growth and regional expansion of businesses.

    The MoU was signed by H.E. Dr Waleed Al Sayegh, Chief Executive Officer of Sharjah Asset Management, and Steve Harvey, Owner and Founder of MELT Global, in the presence of representatives from both parties.

    The MoU outlines MELT Global’s plans to relocate its regional headquarters to Thara, the latest development owned by Sharjah Asset Management in the emirate. This step reflects both parties’ commitment to expanding their cooperation and capitalising on available opportunities and potential, supporting their future ambitions and opening new avenues for collaboration.

    The move also reflects MELT Global’s confidence in Sharjah’s competitive advantages, including its attractive investment environment, advanced infrastructure, and integrated operational capabilities and logistics services, which cater to businesses’ needs, enhance operational efficiency and support their expansion.

    H.E. Dr Waleed Al Sayegh said: “At Sharjah Asset Management, our investment vision is centred on developing assets and enhancing their ability to attract economic activities and strategic partnerships, creating new growth opportunities and maximising the value of our projects. We are also committed to building high-quality partnerships that attract expertise, open new avenues for cooperation and foster integration across different sectors.

    “We welcome this partnership with MELT Global and look forward to its presence at Thara adding value to the business ecosystem. We believe this MoU will create new opportunities for collaboration and the development of joint initiatives that fulfil both parties’ ambitions and support sustainable growth. This aligns with our vision of developing sustainable investments that contribute to diversifying Sharjah’s economy and strengthening its presence across the business, media and creative industries.”

    The MoU reflects both parties’ commitment to building a sustainable collaborative relationship, leveraging their respective expertise and capabilities, and exploring strategic opportunities to develop joint areas of work and initiatives that deliver added value to both sides. It also forms part of their broader efforts to strengthen effective partnerships and maximise synergies, supporting further development and growth opportunities while deepening cooperation across areas of mutual interest.

    MELT Global’s decision to choose Sharjah reflects the emirate’s strong economic and investment fundamentals, which reinforce its position as a centre for business and investment. This is underpinned by the diversity of its economic sectors, the development of its infrastructure and operational capabilities, as well as the availability of logistics services and business support solutions.

    Sharjah also offers an environment that enables companies to capitalise on available opportunities, build relationships and establish partnerships that support the development of their activities and strengthen their presence in regional markets. Together, these advantages make the emirate an attractive destination for global companies seeking to establish operations and expand their business from Sharjah.

    The selection of Thara to host MELT Global’s regional headquarters reflects the project’s ability to provide a business-friendly environment, supported by integrated facilities, services and operational capabilities. The company’s presence at Thara will also contribute to diversifying the range of activities hosted by the development, while creating opportunities for engagement and collaboration with organisations and institutions operating across the emirate and the wider region.

    The MoU underscores both parties’ commitment to continuing to build sustainable strategic partnerships, leverage complementary expertise and capabilities, and explore new avenues for cooperation. This will contribute to creating added value for both parties, supporting development and growth, and further strengthening Sharjah’s position as an attractive destination for investment and business.

    About Sharjah Asset Management

    Sharjah Asset Management is the investment arm of the Government of Sharjah. It seeks to advance economic and social development and accelerate the emirate’s sustainable economic growth through partnerships with the public and private sectors, encouraging investment and promoting corporate social responsibility. This is achieved through the optimal use of resources, addressing the needs of the Sharjah community and ensuring sustainable well-being.

  • UPDF 3.0 Launches a Unified AI PDF Workflow to Create, Edit, and Sign

    Major update connects PDF creation, editing, eSign management, agreement tracking, and AI-powered document understanding in one platform.

    Developed by Superace, UPDF today announced UPDF 3.0, a major product update that expands the AI PDF editor into a complete document workflow for creating, editing, sending, signing, tracking, and understanding PDFs. The release brings core PDF tools, electronic signatures, agreement management, and AI assistance into one connected platform.

    Built around the positioning “The AI PDF Editor to Create, Edit, and Sign,” UPDF 3.0 addresses a common gap in document software: preparing a PDF and completing the process around it often require separate applications. The new version connects those stages so users can move from an initial scan or draft to a completed agreement without rebuilding the workflow elsewhere.

    A Complete Workflow From Creation to Completion

    UPDF 3.0 organizes document work around eight connected stages: scan or create, edit, convert, organize, send, sign, track, and manage. Users can create or import a document, update text and images, convert file formats, and arrange pages before moving directly into an eSign workflow.

    This approach extends the role of a PDF editor beyond file preparation. Instead of ending when a document is ready, UPDF 3.0 continues through delivery, signature collection, status tracking, and agreement management. The workflow is designed to keep the document, its recipients, and its progress in the same working environment.

    eSign Becomes Part of the PDF Process

    The integrated eSign tools cover the main stages of an agreement. Users can prepare or scan a file, define recipients and signing order, place signature, date, text, and attachment fields, and then send the document for signature.

    After sending, the agreement can be tracked as pending, completed, declined, or draft. This gives individuals and teams a central view of work that would otherwise be followed through email messages and separate signing services. Certificate-based professional digital signatures remain a distinct workflow for use cases that require them.

    AI Supports Document Understanding and Action

    UPDF AI is integrated into the document workflow to help users understand content before taking the next step. Ask PDF can answer questions about an entire file, the current page, or a selected range. AI Actions can summarize, translate, and explain information from PDFs, text, and images.

    Scenario Assistants support tasks involving academic papers, contracts, resumes, and financial documents, while custom tasks allow users to organize repeatable methods for classifying and processing information. A user can review a contract with AI, update the PDF, send it for signature, and monitor completion without moving the document between unrelated tools.

    “UPDF 3.0 is more than a feature update; it changes how PDF work moves from creation to completion,” said Roc Lan, CEO of Superace. “By connecting PDF tools, eSign, and AI in one workflow, users can create, edit, sign, and manage documents with fewer disconnected steps.”

    Designed for Professional Document Work

    UPDF 3.0 is designed for professionals who regularly handle contracts, reports, forms, proof documents, and approvals. Small businesses and teams can use the connected signing workflow to send agreements and monitor progress, while multilingual and cross-border users can apply AI translation and document analysis to international files.

    Students, researchers, and knowledge workers can also use the platform to read, organize, convert, summarize, and extract information from complex documents. The same core workflow applies across these use cases: prepare the file, understand its content, complete the required action, and track the result.

    A Broader Direction for UPDF

    With version 3.0, UPDF is positioning itself not only as a PDF editor, an eSign tool, or an AI assistant, but as a document productivity platform that connects all three. The release focuses on workflow continuity rather than adding isolated functions, with PDF preparation, agreement completion, and document intelligence operating as parts of the same process.

    About UPDF

    Developed by Superace, UPDF is an all-in-one PDF and document productivity solution for creating, editing, annotating, converting, organizing, securing, signing, and understanding PDFs. It supports individuals and organizations working with documents across professional, academic, and business scenarios.

    Additional information about UPDF 3.0 is available on the official UPDF website. Product updates are published on YouTube, Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and LinkedIn.

  • Science4you’s New Report Reveals How STEM Learning Toys Accelerate Children’s Cognitive Development

    Findings from the “STEM Education Toys Report” show that playing with STEM toys boosts spatial skills and bridges the gender gap in tech motivation

    United States, 3rd Nov 2026 —Science4you, a leading educational toy brand specializing in hands-on STEM/STEAM toys for children, today announced the publication of its comprehensive STEM Education Toys Report. The report’s findings include insights that playing with STEM learning toys positively affects kids’ cognitive development, hands-on learning, and the gender gap in tech. According to the report, Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) toys also help boost spatial skills and academic performance, potentially increasing future earning potential.

    “Our approach is to make preparing today’s technology-driven world fun for kids,” explained Filipe Ramos, CEO of Science4you. “So, we are very gratified to see our strategy validated in the report’s data.

    The report’s findings include: 

    • STEM toys play a key role in cognitive development, boosting computational thinking (+39%), flexibility (+26%), memory (+19%), and inhibition (+11%).
    • STEM play reduces the gender gap in technology motivation. Girls’ interest in programming jumps 29% after just 20 minutes of play.
    • Parents confirm academic benefits, with 51.7% reporting meaningful improvements and 33% reporting major boosts in school performance.
    • Children who play with STEM toys are more likely to earn 116% higher income in future STEM occupations.

    The company also announced the launch of STEAM Individual Kits Showcase, which is on sale for the holiday season. This lineup of interactive, hands-on STEAM kits is designed for young scientists and creators. Highlights include the Mystery Potions Kit, Perfumes Super Lab, Giant Robot Hand, Marker Factory, Gummy Sweets Lab, Egyptian Artefacts Dig Kit, Betabot Robot Building Kit, Chocolate Factory, Bath Bombs Making Kit, and Dinosaur Torch.
