London, United Kingdom, 20th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, CT3 has announced the launch of the CT3 On-Chain Commerce Ecosystem – a Web3 layer for businesses that enables companies to distribute digital products through NFT access keys backed by decentralized storage.

With this release, CT3 introduces a full-cycle flow for digital commerce: sellers upload a digital product to CT3, receive an NFT “key,” and list it on supported marketplaces. When the NFT is purchased, ownership transfers to the buyer’s wallet, and the buyer can instantly access and download the file via CT3. The first marketplace integration has already been successfully launched with OpenSea.

Why it matters

Digital sales are still burdened by payment gateways, chargebacks, manual fulfillment, and fragmented tools. CT3 replaces this complexity with a wallet-first model: purchase → ownership → instant delivery, available globally and 24/7, without the need for traditional storefront infrastructure.

Advantages vs Existing Solutions

• Delivery like an online store – without manual work
: The seller doesn’t need to send files by email or in private messages; the buyer receives access automatically right after the purchase.

• The product can’t be “swapped” after the sale: 
The file is stored in CT3, and access is granted via an NFT key. The key’s ownership history is visible on-chain and serves as transparent proof of purchase and ownership

• It’s visible whether a digital product has already been used: 
CT3 can mark whether the file has already been downloaded using that key. This makes it possible to distinguish a “new” digital product from one that has already been used.

• Safer for resales
: Buyers can check the status before purchasing on the secondary market – not downloaded / already downloaded (Unredeemed / Redeemed) – and make a decision based on that.

• Trust mechanism for businesses
: CT3 provides seller verification and a trust badge, along with a basic process for handling disputes – helping reduce fraud and increase transparency.

About CT3

CT3 is a company that has been operating since 2022 and is developing a decentralized cloud storage solution: you upload a file, it is stored across a distributed network, and access is granted through an NFT key. This approach virtually eliminates the risk of shutdowns, data leaks, and makes cyberattacks significantly harder: data is split into fragments and stored on different nodes, access is controlled cryptographically, and the system does not rely on a single provider- so there is no single point of failure.

At the core of CT3’s philosophy are three principles: security, anonymity, and freedom of speech. The company believes that everyone has the right to protect their data, maintain privacy, and express their thoughts freely without fear of censorship or information leaks.

Invitation for sellers to collaborate

CT3 invites sellers of digital products to collaborate – including licenses, subscriptions, tickets, certificates, promo codes, private releases, as well as databases and datasets. Anyone looking for wallet-native distribution with automated delivery and a verifiable usage status can contact CT3 to join the first wave of merchants.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 20th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Slotozilla has established itself as a recognized international resource for electronic gaming machines and casino reviews. Drawing on its team’s collective expertise, the brand continues to provide independent analysis of industry operators, software, and player behaviour. It has recently published the Online Slots Statistics report that presents findings based on the platform’s demo slot machines interaction data collected throughout 2025. The expert analysis highlights regional preferences, engagement levels, and usage patterns, which offer stakeholders insights into key player preferences from demo slot usage data.

Global Favourites: The Demo Slots That Defined 2025

The Slotozilla market report effectively highlighted slot trends across selected GEOs worldwide. Canadian players showed a strong preference for wildlife-themed titles, while mythologically inspired and high-volatility slots led engagement in the US. In Australia, gold rush–themed games emerged as the clear market favourite.

A long-standing adventure-themed video slot carried over its momentum in the Spanish market from 2024. It remained the most popular demo category in Spain and maintained the highest regional engagement levels in 2025. This indicates sustained dominance of similar adventure-driven themes and highlights the market’s continued affinity for familiar, narrative-focused slot experiences.

France, Poland, and Portugal demonstrated a marked inclination toward crash mechanics. Crash-style titles led engagement metrics across these markets, each showing strong player interaction within this format. The data suggests that crash games are likely to maintain their momentum into 2026.

Players in Germany and the UK showed stronger engagement with high-volatility and feature-driven slot formats, respectively. Overall, European slot preferences appeared to have diversified significantly compared to the previous year. This shift indicates a market increasingly open to evolving mechanics and varied gameplay formats heading into 2026.

Engagement and Regional Behaviour Shifts

Analysis of engagement metrics shows a clear correlation between retention rates and average playtime. Canada and Poland recorded high values across both indicators, reflecting sustained player interest and repeated demo sessions. Conversely, Australia and Portugal displayed lower averages, suggesting shorter play cycles and reduced session frequency.

Category-level data further reinforced these trends. In Australia, gold rush–themed titles continued to demonstrate strong regional performance, while in Spain, long-established adventure-themed slots maintained leading positions in both retention and average playtime.

Windhoek, Khomas, Namibia, 20th Feb 2026 – Trustco Group Holdings Limited (“Trustco”) is ending its American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) programme with the Bank of New York Mellon, effective on or about 23 March 2026. The two parties agreed to wind down the programme under the terms of their existing agreement. In plain terms, an ADR is a certificate that allows a foreign company’s shares to trade in the United States. Trustco launched its ADR programme in 2014 and in 2019 became one of the first Namibian companies to trade on a US securities platform — the OTCQX Best Market.

“We built our ADR programme from nothing in 2014, when most international investors couldn’t point to Namibia on a map. That programme opened the door, together with a 12-year partnership with Bank of New York Mellon, who held our hand from inception to now. But Namibia’s story has changed, and so has Trustco’s,” said Dr Quinton van Rooyen, Trustco’s CEO.

Dr Quinton van Rooyen, Trustco’s CEO.

“International investor interest in Namibia has surged over the past five years as major offshore energy discoveries and a growing pipeline of infrastructure, mining, property and financial services projects draw global capital into the country. Trustco’s own shareholder base has shifted with it, with a growing proportion now US-based. Trustco has previously announced its intention to pursue a direct listing on a US stock exchange. This strategy has not changed,” van Rooyen concluded.

ADR holders have until at least 26 March 2027 to convert their ADRs into the underlying ordinary shares, which can then be transferred to a South African or Namibian brokerage account.
