KuCoin Strengthens Its RWA Ecosystem with Ondo Tokenized Stocks on KuCoin Alpha

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, today announced the integration of Ondo tokenized assets, marketed as “Ondo tokenized stocks,” into KuCoin Alpha. The integration provides eligible users across the KuCoin ecosystem with a streamlined way to access tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) through the familiar KuCoin interface.

Through KuCoin Alpha, users can access supported Ondo tokenized stocks using funds held in their KuCoin accounts and trade them without navigating separate wallets or external onchain applications. By simplifying the user journey, the integration creates a more intuitive entry point to TradFi-linked onchain products while retaining the efficiency and flexibility enabled by blockchain-based infrastructure. The initial selection spans broad-market ETFs and leading companies across technology, semiconductors and digital finance, including widely followed products such as SPYon, NVDAon, MUon, SNDKon, and CRCLon.

The launch builds on the earlier integration of Ondo tokenized stocks into KuCoin Web3 Wallet. Together, the two integrations provide complementary pathways across the KuCoin ecosystem: an exchange-app experience through KuCoin Alpha and a self-custodial experience through KuCoin Web3 Wallet. This gives users greater flexibility in how they discover, access, and manage TradFi-linked onchain assets.

The expansion reflects the next stage in the development of onchain finance. Following the global adoption of stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets are emerging as another important asset category supported by blockchain infrastructure. Scaling this market will require more than asset issuance alone. It will also depend on trusted access infrastructure that connects products, liquidity and users through intuitive and widely accessible interfaces.

As traditional financial products increasingly move onchain, crypto platforms are evolving beyond venues for individual asset listings to become an important infrastructure for global onchain markets. By extending Ondo stocks across both its exchange-app and self-custodial environments, KuCoin is building a unified access layer for crypto-native assets, tokenized real-world assets and other TradFi-linked onchain products.

The integration marks another step in KuCoin’s strategy to build trusted infrastructure that connects traditional finance with the expanding onchain economy while making emerging financial products accessible through experiences users already understand.

• Completes calculation and third-party verification of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions across Korea and key overseas operations
• Expands ESG disclosures to cover human rights, safety, working conditions, and training for global employees

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LX Pantos (President & CEO: Lee Yong-ho) has released its 2026 Sustainability Report, highlighting progress in advancing ESG management across its domestic and global operations.

The report covers nine material ESG issues identified through a double materiality assessment, including climate change adaptation and mitigation, energy, eco-friendly logistics services, customer value management, human resources management, information security, risk management, business conduct, and new growth engines and business diversification.

A key highlight of this year’s report is the expanded reporting scope, which now includes global worksites. The expansion reflects LX Pantos’s strong international footprint and the growing scale of its overseas operations.

On the environmental front, the company calculated Scope 1 direct greenhouse gas emissions and Scope 2 indirect greenhouse gas emissions from its domestic operations and key overseas sites. Third-party verification further strengthened the reliability of its environmental disclosures.

In the social area, LX Pantos collected and analyzed employee data from nine subsidiaries in Europe, covering human rights and labor, occupational health and safety, working conditions, education, and career development.

In governance, the report highlights progress in Jeong-do Management, the company’s ethics- and compliance-based management philosophy. LX Pantos recorded zero significant legal violations related to anti-corruption and fair trade rules and achieved a 100% completion rate for Jeong-do Management training in 2025.

The report was prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards 2021 and references global ESG frameworks including SASB, the UN SDGs, the UNGC, and the TCFD. An independent third-party assurance agency verified the report for accuracy and reliability.

In 2025, LX Pantos also earned a Bronze rating from EcoVadis, a B rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), LEED Gold certification for the MegaWise Cheongna Center, and an A+ rating under the Regional Social Contribution Recognition System administered by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare.

Commenting on the release of this report, Lee Yong-ho, President & CEO of LX Pantos said, “LX Pantos is further advancing its sustainability management by expanding the scope of ESG management beyond Korea to our overseas operations. Under our ESG vision, ‘Value Deliverer for People and the Planet,’ we will continue to communicate with stakeholders in a transparent manner.”

Reap Goes Live on Hyperliquid with USDC funding capabilities

Clients can now move USDC more efficiently and manage balances on the Hyperliquid network.

HONG KONG, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Reap, a global financial technology company that enables financial connectivity and access for businesses worldwide through stablecoin-enabled infrastructure, today announced support for USDC funding via Hyperliquid. Clients can now generate a Hyperliquid wallet address within Reap and send USDC on the Hyperliquid network to fund their cards and payments balances.

In May 2026, Hyperliquid phased out its native stablecoin, with Circle expanding its infrastructure role across the network. USDC is now the dominant collateral asset on Hyperliquid, and stablecoin supply on the platform has nearly doubled year-over-year, reaching a record $7.04 billion in early June 2026, up almost 20% in a single month.

As USDC cements itself as the anchor stablecoin of one of the largest on-chain trading venues, a growing number of businesses already hold or transact in USDC on Hyperliquid as part of their treasury activity. Until now, moving that USDC into a Reap balance meant routing it through an intermediary exchange or wallet. A direct funding rail removes that extra step, letting clients put Hyperliquid-based USDC to work in their cards and payment balances. This launch also expands Reap’s own network coverage for stablecoin funding, with Hyperliquid joining Ethereum, Tron, and Polygon as supported networks for on-chain USDC deposits.

For businesses that already keep working capital on Hyperliquid, this adds a direct path to convert on-chain USDC into operating balances, without routing funds through an intermediary exchange or wallet. That can reduce settlement time and operational overhead, improve liquidity management between trading and treasury activity and day-to-day spend, and support smoother reconciliation by keeping funding flows on a single, supported rail. The addition of Hyperliquid gives clients another stablecoin funding rail, reducing friction for businesses that already hold or transact in USDC on Hyperliquid, and makes it easier for clients to fund their cards and payments balances directly.

“With Hyperliquid now supported in Reap, clients now have a more direct bridge between where they already hold USDC on-chain and where they need to deploy it in day-to-day operations. We are excited to build a simpler, faster path for treasury teams to move value from on-chain liquidity into the balances they use to run their businesses.” said Harris Leow, Head of Product, Reap.

Reap is also exploring additional ways to expand the utility of Hyperliquid across a broader suite of products and solutions over time, from making it easier for clients to fund and deploy USDC held on Hyperliquid, to unlocking more seamless ways to move value between on-chain liquidity and real-world spend. By deepening this integration, Reap aims to create more flexibility for clients while supporting greater real-world utility for stablecoins on Hyperliquid.

Reap is a global financial technology company that enables financial connectivity and access for businesses worldwide through stablecoin-native infrastructure. We transform the financial landscape through more efficient money movement by merging traditional finance with digital assets, bridging disparate economies and connecting key financial markets.

THE LEELA UNVEILS ‘MELODIES BY THE LEELA’ – A DISTINCTIVE SONIC IDENTITY CELEBRATING TRUE INDIAN LUXURY

The brand’s new musical expression debuts with A Living Raga, an inaugural commemorative album composed exclusively by Grammy-winning maestros Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash to celebrate four decades of true Indian luxury

NEW DELHI, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As The Leela celebrates four decades of True Indian Luxury, the brand recently unveiled Melodies by The Leela, its official sonic identity and a new cultural expression of its enduring commitment to Indian art, heritage and hospitality.

For over forty years, The Leela has expressed the richness of India through architecture, craftsmanship, cuisine, wellness and service. With Melodies by The Leela, the brand extends this philosophy into music, creating an ownable sonic identity that complements its existing sensory expressions and deepens the emotional connection guests have with The Leela.

Launching this new brand platform is A Living Raga, the inaugural commemorative album under Melodies by The Leela. Composed exclusively for The Leela by Grammy-winning, seventh-generation sarod maestros Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash, the 14-track collection celebrates four decades of True Indian Luxury through original compositions inspired by the warmth, grace and timeless philosophy of Atithi Devo Bhava. Produced in collaboration with longtime creative partners Karsh Kale and Sawan Dutta, A Living Raga also features acclaimed musicians Rajesh Prasanna on flute, Ahaana Ali on sarangi, Gopal Dayal on shehnai and Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, creating a contemporary interpretation of India’s classical traditions.

The album received its first listening at The Leela Palace New Delhi on 7th August, in the presence of an illustrious gathering including Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and Subhalakshmi Khan, Vijay Amritraj, Falguni Shane Peacock, Amitabh Kant, Suresh and Priyanka Raina, and Shereen Bhan, among other distinguished guests.

Commenting on the launch, Anuraag Bhatnagar, CEO and Whole-time Director, The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts, said, “For four decades, The Leela has celebrated India’s cultural richness through architecture, design, art, cuisine and hospitality. Music has always been an integral part of that journey, quietly shaping the emotional connection our guests have with our hotels. With Melodies by The Leela, we are bringing together years of original musical collaborations into a distinctive sonic identity that is uniquely our own. As we celebrate forty years of True Indian Luxury, A Living Raga marks the inaugural chapter of this journey, reflecting our commitment to preserving India’s artistic heritage while presenting it in ways that continue to resonate with contemporary audiences.”

Speaking about the collaboration, Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash, said, “Our association with The Leela has grown over more than fifteen years through a shared belief that culture is best experienced through emotion. Composing A Living Raga has been an opportunity to celebrate India’s timeless musical traditions while giving expression to The Leela’s vision of a distinctive sonic identity. We are honoured that these years of collaboration now come together under Melodies by The Leela, creating an enduring musical expression for the brand as it celebrates forty years of True Indian Luxury.“

The evening also featured a specially curated commemorative menu celebrating four decades of True Indian Luxury, tracing The Leela’s journey through a series of regional culinary expressions inspired by its destinations and heritage. From Malvani flavours representing its first chapter in Mumbai to interpretations of Karnataka and other regional traditions, the menu brought together the diverse culinary identity of The Leela in one celebratory experience.

Music has been part of The Leela experience for over fifteen years. Through its longstanding creative collaboration with Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash, the brand has, in the past, commissioned original compositions that have welcomed guests into its hotels, enriched its public spaces and become an intrinsic part of its sensory language. Now, these musical expressions come together under Melodies by The Leela, a long-term brand platform that will continue to evolve through original compositions, destination-inspired collections and collaborations with leading artists.

As part of the launch, The Leela also introduced a limited-edition collector’s vinyl of A Living Raga. Conceived for discerning collectors and music connoisseurs, the vinyl celebrated the enduring beauty of analogue listening, where craftsmanship, ritual and permanence take precedence over convenience. From its bespoke artwork to its tactile production, every detail was thoughtfully designed as a collectible expression of The Leela’s philosophy of timeless Indian luxury.

With the launch of Melodies by The Leela, the brand introduces a new dimension to its sensory experience, one that extends beyond place into the enduring language of sound. Beginning with A Living Raga, the platform will continue to evolve through original compositions, artistic collaborations and destination-inspired musical expressions, reinforcing The Leela’s commitment to celebrating India’s cultural heritage through contemporary luxury experiences.
