Press Release
Binance’s Malta,Hoo’s Dubai
October 17-20,” Future Blockchain Summit 2021” will be held in Dubai World Trade Center. The world’s top blockchain companies including IBM, Google, Binance, etc. will gather here to showcase the world’s most innovative blockchain achievements. As the gold sponsor of this conference, Hoo Global will also make a high-profile debut at the conference, and officially start a global layout with Dubai as the radiant point.
It is understood that, in addition to Hoo Global, the head digital asset trading platforms such as Huobi and Binance have also laid out in Dubai, the “global blockchain center”. Dubai, which once relied on oil to rise, has now become the first choice for entrepreneurs in the crypto industry. This is not only due to the Dubai government’s policy support for the encryption industry but also due to Dubai’s unique geographical environment.
Follow Hoo Global’s viewpoint with Dubai as its radiant point, and explore the offensive and defensive of Hoo Global’s global layout.
Binance’s Malta, the rising blockchain island
Similar to Dubai’s “friendly policy”, Malta was also the “Island of Blockchain” in three years ago. In March 2018, the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) issued a warning to Binance, stating that Binance is not registered in Japan and that it may cause losses to Japanese investors. If Binance does not end its business in Japan, the Financial Services Agency of Japan will initiate criminal proceedings.
At that time, Binance had just been established for one year, staying in Japan for only three months and then Japan’s Financial Services Agency issued the “Expulsion Order”, and they are looking for a more friendly regulatory environment around the world. At that time, Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat give a change to Binance. Joseph Muscat said on Twitter that “Welcome Binance to Malta and it will create the most suitable habitat for the world’s leading financial companies. “Subsequently, Binance confirmed that it would move its headquarters to Malta, which has always been more friendly to cryptocurrency businesses and investors and began to develop its blockchain business in compliance around the world.
Since then, Binance has developed by leaps and bounds, and the Binance ecosystem has also exploded, becoming the world’s top digital asset trading platform. After nearly three years of precipitation, the Binance platform token BNB rose from the lowest point of $0.03981770 to the highest point of $686.31, the increase was as high as 1,715,675%. At present, the market value of BNB is as high as $75,318,143,309, and the 24 hours trading volume can reach $3,053,099,755.

Hoo Global‘s Dubai Blockchain New Hope Capital
Binance’s Malta, Hoo’s Dubai, both are important turning points in the growth trajectory.
In September this year, Hoo Global was invited by the Dubai Royal Family to establish a global operations center in Dubai, committed to taking Dubai as a bridgehead radiating the UAE and connecting the Middle East, and use blockchain technology and resources to empower the local blockchain industry and entity industries. Compared with the 2018 Binance’s Malta, Dubai now has a clearer plan for the blockchain industry.

In April 2018, the UAE government launched the UAE Blockchain Strategy 2021, also specifying the plan to transform Dubai into the world’s first city fully powered by blockchain technology – the “Dubai Blockchain Strategy”. According to Marwan Alzarouni, CEO of Dubai Blockchain Center, “The UAE, and Dubai in particular, has always been forward-looking and fast-moving when it comes to any future technology, and crypto-assets and blockchain are no exception.”
In 2020, the Dubai Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) issued relevant policies, which is“Decision No. (23/RM) of 2020 of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Authority on the regulation of crypto-asset activities“. To offer crypto assets (or any related services) in Dubai, there are two requirements: 1) the provider must be incorporated within the UAE or any financial free zone in the UAE; and 2) the provider must be licensed by the SCA. Also, the applicant must demonstrate that they will strictly comply with the UAE’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws, cyber security compliance standards and data protection regulations.
On September 22 this year, the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) and the Dubai World Trade Center Authority (DWTCA) signed an agreement to support crypto-asset transactions and related financial activities in the Dubai Free Trade Zone, allowing DWTCA to issue approvals and licenses for crypto asset related financial activities in the Dubai World Trade Free Zone. SCA supervises entities engaged in encryption services in the free zone, such as issuance, listing, trading, and licensing processes. Helal Saeed Almarri, Director General of DWTCA, said: “Through this agreement, Dubai will expand its support for blockchain and encryption technology-based investments and startups in the free zone.
The steps taken by Dubai to promote the development of the blockchain industry are becoming clearer and clearer. The invitation of the Dubai Royal Family to Hoo Global is also a powerful move to fully promote the development of the blockchain industry.
Comprehensive Product Upgrade Hoo’s Global Ambitions
Dubai’s policy coincides with Hoo’s global layout. Now Hoo Global, which has settled in Dubai, is ready for a global layout. Compared with Binance, which settled in Malta in 2018, Hoo Global has already made a comprehensive improvement in products and ecology. Hoo Global was established in 2018, and after more than 3 years of development, relying on the application innovation of blockchain technology and underlying infrastructure, Hoo Global has become a globally innovative and competitive digital asset trading platform that includes Hoo International Station (Hoo.com), Hoo Smart Chain, Hoo Custody, Hoo Research, Hoo University, Hoo Cub fund, Hoo Labs, HooSwap, HooPool and other segments.
At present, the average daily spot volume of Hoo Globall has increased from $80 million to approximately $900 million. The liquidity level is in the top 75% of all exchange statistics on CoinGecko, and the trading volume level is in the top 95%; The average daily trading volume of futures increased to approximately $12 billion. The daily average number of active users exceeds 80,000, and the number of registered users exceeds 2.4 million, covering 120 countries and regions around the world. The market value of HOO is $33,294,384, and the 24 hours trading volume can reach $2,077,978.
In order to better promote the layout of globalization, this September Hoo Global has carried out VIP upgrade in response to the needs of international users, including the base rate reduced to the lowest 0.1%, VIP level rights and benefits linked to HOO, pulling new rebate strength up to 40%, etc. At the same time, recently, Hoo Global will support HOO as a pledged asset in Hoo Collateral Loan, users can transfer HOO to “wallet balance” as a pledge lending deposit for subsequent lending operations, the current HOO pledge rate is 55%, etc. Through these drastic reforms, Hoo Global is gradually improving its products to meet the different needs of users and laying a solid foundation for global compliance development.
Summarize
2021 is the year of Hoo’s compliance and settlement in Dubai is a new starting point for Hoo Global. The pace of globalization will continue to drive Hoo Global to grow into the next giant.

The Best CBD Retailers Online in Denmark Are Hard to Find – We Found the Top 10
The Danish market for CBD and cannabinoid products has grown significantly in recent years. With this growth comes a wider selection – and an increasing need for transparency, documentation, and quality. A new in-depth review of leading online CBD retailers in Denmark places Wetality at number one among the top 10 providers.
CBD products have firmly entered everyday life for Danish consumers. Interest in natural, plant-based alternatives continues to rise, but the market remains uneven. Consumers are faced with everything from well-established producers offering full documentation to retailers where transparency and quality can be more difficult to assess.
Against this backdrop, we conducted a journalistic review of 10 of the most recognized and widely used online CBD retailers in Denmark. The evaluation is based on a comprehensive analysis of product quality, raw materials, production standards, documentation, transparency, product range, and consumer-facing information.
The conclusion is clear: Wetality claims the top position.
Wetality – Leading the Market in Quality, Documentation, and Expertise
Wetality ranks number one primarily due to its consistent focus on quality throughout the entire value chain. The company’s core business is CBD and other cannabinoid products derived from hemp, which represent the largest part of its operations.
The hemp plants used by Wetality are grown 100% organically in one of Europe’s most respected climate regions for hemp cultivation. Soil conditions, climate, and cultivation methods play a decisive role in the plants’ cannabinoid profile and overall quality. The seeds are carefully selected, and harvesting is carried out using traditional methods with respect for the raw material, teamwork, and craftsmanship.
All ingredients used in Wetality’s products are sourced from premium raw materials and combined into formulations designed and developed by experts with specialized knowledge in cannabinoids, extraction methods, and product development.
A key factor in the evaluation is documentation. Wetality’s CBD oil is produced in a GMP-certified facility, ensuring consistent quality, traceability, and controlled manufacturing processes. All products are tested by independent third-party laboratories, and each batch is analyzed in a European-accredited laboratory. This provides consumers with full insight into content, purity, and compliance with regulatory limits.
For consumers, this means a product where quality, origin, and composition are not based on trust alone—but supported by verified documentation.
A Market with Several Strong Competitors
While Wetality secures the number one position, the Danish CBD market also includes several reputable players worth noting:
Nordic Oil
A well-established webshop offering a wide range of CBD and CBG products, organic hemp, Danish customer support, and fast delivery. A solid and user-friendly entry point for many consumers.
Endoca (Endoca.dk)
Known for its strong focus on 100% organic products and strict quality control. Production standards are close to pharmaceutical-grade, making Endoca a strong choice for consumers who prioritize raw hemp quality.
Cannaone (Cannaone.dk)
Marketed as “Denmark’s cheapest CBD shop,” offering a wide product range including RAW, Premium, and THC-free options. Competitive pricing, but consumers are advised to verify documentation.
Raw Organics (RawOrganics.dk)
Emphasizes transparency and organic sourcing, supported by external laboratory testing. A strong option for consumers who prioritize eco-friendly practices.
CBD24 (CBD24.dk)
A Danish webshop promoting “high quality at strong prices,” offering flexibility in both selection and pricing.
Sense Organics (via SenseShop.dk)
Provides CBD oil in multiple variants and offers free shipping above a certain order value, appealing to consumers seeking additional service benefits.
Naturecan (Naturecan.dk)
An international brand with a Danish-language platform and local customer support. A good choice for those looking for a broader, globally recognized brand.
CBDSense (CBDSense.dk)
In addition to CBD oil, CBDSense offers capsules and skincare products, appealing to consumers who want alternative formats.
Body N Soul (bodyn-soul.com)
Markets itself as “Denmark’s best organic CBD oil.” Consumers should pay particular attention to documentation and verified THC levels.
Comparison of Selected CBD Retailers
| Retailer | Organic Hemp | GMP Production | Third-Party Tested | EU Batch Testing | Expert Product Design | Overall Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wetality | Yes (100%) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Winner |
| Nordic Oil | Yes | Partial | Yes | Yes | Yes | Very Strong |
| Endoca | Yes (100%) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Very Strong |
| Raw Organics | Yes (100%) | No | Yes | Yes | Partial | Strong |
| Cannaone | Varies | No | Partial | No | No | Average |
The comparison clearly shows that Wetality stands out by meeting all evaluated quality criteria.
Growing Demand for Transparency
The CBD market continues to evolve, alongside regulation, consumer awareness, and scientific insight. As a result, documentation, transparency, and consistent quality are becoming increasingly important.
In this context, Wetality emerges as a producer that not only offers a broad product range but also sets a benchmark for how modern cannabinoid products can be developed responsibly and professionally.
For consumers, this provides greater confidence in a market where distinguishing between marketing claims and genuine quality can be challenging.

AgentLISA Unveils PaymentShield: The First Complete Security Suite for X402 Autonomous Payments

Singapore – Blockman PR – December 16, 2025 — AgentLISA, the leading Agentic Security Operating System for Web3, today announced PaymentShield, a comprehensive security platform purpose-built to protect X402 autonomous payment infrastructure. Alongside this announcement, AgentLISA releases a detailed position paper analyzing critical application-layer vulnerabilities in agentic payment systems and unveils a strategic one-year roadmap to deliver full-stack protection for the rapidly growing X402 ecosystem.
With X402 processing over 100 million autonomous transactions in its first six months and major backing from Coinbase, Cloudflare, Google, and Visa, the protocol is positioned to become the universal standard for AI-driven commerce. While X402’s protocol layer demonstrates robust security design, our analysis identifies critical vulnerabilities at the application layer—where AI agents interact with payment services.
“X402 built a strong protocol foundation with excellent protection against replay attacks, frontrunning, and cross-chain exploits,” said Dr. Izaiah Sun, Co-founder and Research Lead at AgentLISA. “However, the real security challenge lies in the application layer—where autonomous agents can be manipulated, budgets can be drained, and compliance risks emerge. PaymentShield addresses these critical gaps.”
The Application Layer Security Challenge
AgentLISA’s comprehensive security analysis reveals three critical vulnerabilities in X402’s application layer:
Malicious Recipient Risks: No validation of payment addresses against sanctions lists, scam databases, or honeypot contracts—exposing users to legal liability and financial loss
Settlement Race Conditions: Timing gaps between payment verification and actual settlement allow attackers to receive services without payment
Resource Exhaustion Attacks: Lack of standardized rate limiting enables verification spam and economic DoS attacks against service providers and facilitators
Additionally, autonomous agents face unique manipulation risks including prompt injection, recursive payment loops, and budget exploitation—threats that assume no human oversight.
PaymentShield: Comprehensive Application Layer Protection
PaymentShield directly addresses these identified vulnerabilities through specialized security capabilities:
AI Agent Payment Firewall
- Real-time sanctions screening (OFAC, UN, EU) preventing payments to prohibited addresses
- Smart contract risk analysis detecting honeypots, rug-pull patterns, and malicious code
- Prompt injection detection blocking manipulation attempts in payment descriptions
- Recursive payment loop prevention through graph analysis
- Intelligent spending controls with automatic circuit breakers
Settlement Assurance Engine
- Pre-settlement balance and nonce verification eliminating race conditions
- Atomic settlement-access binding preventing resource delivery before payment confirms
- Configurable settlement policies based on transaction value and risk
Rate Limiting and DoS Defense
- Adaptive throttling preventing verification spam attacks
- Economic threshold enforcement blocking micro-payment griefing
- Facilitator protection through API authentication and request signing
Enterprise Compliance Suite
- Comprehensive audit trails for regulatory requirements
- Transaction monitoring flagging suspicious patterns
- Customizable whitelisting/blacklisting policies
One-Year Development Roadmap
Phase 1: Application Layer Security (H1 2026)
Focus on immediate protection for AI agents and payment interactions:
- AI Agent Protection Suite: Seamlessly integrated with AgentLISA’s Agentic Auditor, providing real-time defense against payment manipulation and budget exploitation
- Enhanced Wallet Security: Extension of our Wallet Health Check for X402 payment flows, including session validation and spending pattern analysis
- Payment Request Verification: Multi-layered authentication preventing response forgery and account substitution
- Malicious Recipient Detection: Real-time screening against sanctions lists, scams, and honeypot contracts
This phase leverages AgentLISA’s existing AI-powered security infrastructure, extending our industry-leading capabilities to the payment interaction layer.
Phase 2: Protocol Layer Monitoring (H2 2026)
Enhanced visibility and detection complementing X402’s strong protocol security:
- Settlement Assurance: Multi-network verification ensuring payment finality across all supported chains
- Double-Spend Prevention: Distributed monitoring detecting duplicate payment attempts ecosystem-wide
- Session Security: Protection for X402 V2’s reusable sessions against hijacking and replay attacks
- Unified Security Platform: Integrated dashboard providing complete visibility across application and protocol layers
By end of 2026, PaymentShield will deliver the industry’s first complete security stack for autonomous payments.

Seamless Integration: Built on AgentLISA’s battle-tested platform securing billions in smart contract value. Organizations using our Agentic Auditor and Wallet Health Check experience zero-friction adoption.
First-Mover Advantage: As the first comprehensive application-layer security solution for X402, PaymentShield establishes AgentLISA as the security standard for autonomous payments.
Enterprise-Ready: Audit logging, compliance reporting, role-based access controls, and SLA guarantees enable confident deployment of autonomous agents at scale.
Ecosystem Collaboration: Active partnership with the X402 Foundation and major platforms ensures PaymentShield becomes the trusted security layer ecosystem-wide.
Availability and Pricing
PaymentShield launches in three editions:
- Developer Edition (Free): Core protection for individual developers and small-scale deployments
- Professional Edition: Full feature set for production applications with moderate transaction volumes
- Enterprise Edition: Unlimited scale, dedicated support, custom integration, and SLA guarantees
Early access begins Q1 2026 for current AgentLISA customers.
Join the Secure Autonomous Economy
“We’re not just building security tools—we’re building the trust layer that enables the autonomous economy to flourish,” said Dr. Sun. “X402 has a strong protocol foundation. PaymentShield completes the picture by securing the application layer where AI agents actually operate. Every agent deserves to operate safely. Every service provider deserves to be paid fairly. PaymentShield makes both possible.”

Darius McGrew Gives a Homerun Explanation of Enterprise Telecom for Financial Services
Darius McGrew is an Enterprise Account Executive in Tampa, Florida. He and his team focus on mitigating risk and delivering consistent bandwidth for enterprise customers.
Many of his customers are in the financial services sector. For them, technology decisions are about more than performance metrics – it’s all about safeguarding trust.
As a seasoned Telecom sales rep in Florida, Darius McGrew exemplifies this daily focus.
This helps him effectively guide institutions through complex implementations with precision.
Much like a baseball manager setting the lineup for a championship game, Darius McGrew ensures that every solution is positioned to deliver consistent long-term performance while protecting enterprise value.
Stepping Up to the Plate: Discovery and Risk Assessment
The first step in any engagement is discovery. For financial services clients, it is critical to identify pain points such as:
-
Latency in trading platforms
-
Compliance gaps in data transmission
-
Or resilience concerns during hurricane season.
Darius McGrew, a Telecom sales leader in Florida, uses baseball analogies to weave the explanation together.
“Just like a batter studies the pitcher before stepping into the batter’s box, a good rep studies the client’s environment. Every swing must be data-driven, every pitch anticipated.” – Darius McGrew
By treating discovery as the first at‑bat, reps like Darius McGrew can set the tone for a good game built on preparation and foresight.
Building the Lineup: Solution Design
Once risks are identified, Darius McGrew designs a solution that balances performance with compliance.
-
Security: End‑to‑end encryption and secure access service edge (SASE) serve as the infield defense — preventing breaches before they reach critical systems.
-
Compliance: Documentation and audit trails are the rulebook. Regulatory compliance is essential.
-
Reliability: Redundant circuits, SD‑WAN failover, and disaster recovery planning protocols are the bullpen — ready to step in when the starter falters.
Darius McGrew explains that an effective rep builds a solution with layered strengths. Each component plays its role in protecting enterprise value.
Playing Through the Season: Implementation and Testing
Implementation is where theory meets practice. This is especially true for financial services clients.
Darius McGrew is a Florida-based Telecom rep that coordinates provisioning, testing, and validation with the precision of a World Series team executing a double play.
He explains that the Enterprise Value Strategy is simple:
-
Testing protocols: Latency is measured against trading benchmarks, uptime is validated against SLA commitments, and compliance is confirmed through simulated audits.
-
Disaster recovery drills: Failover circuits are tested like spring training exercises, ensuring readiness when the regular season begins.
-
Performance monitoring: Ongoing analytics resemble the box score—tracking throughput, packet loss, and jitter in every inning to ensure we deliver consistent wins.
The Closer: Post‑Implementation Support
Every championship team needs a reliable closer to succeed. Here’s why it matters in Telecom:
-
Monitoring: AI‑driven analytics track network performance, alerting IT leadership to anomalies before they impact members.
-
Compliance updates: As regulations evolve, the best reps provide updated documentation and ensure that solutions remain audit‑ready.
-
Continuous improvement: Quarterly reviews align infrastructure with emerging financial services needs, from mobile banking expansion to secure cloud adoption.
Florida Finance: Resilience Under Pressure
Operating from Tampa, Florida, Darius McGrew is an Enterprise Account Executive that understands the unique challenges of hurricane‑prone regions.
“Reliability is not theoretical; it is tested annually by severe weather.” – Darius McGrew
Disaster recovery planning includes geographically diverse routes, redundant data centers, and proactive failover strategies.
Why IT Leadership Values This Approach
For IT leaders in financial services, leveraging trusted Telecom reps like Darius McGrew offers clear advantages:
-
Security as defense: Like a gold‑glove shortstop, security measures prevent costly errors.
-
Compliance as rule adherence: Just as baseball requires strict adherence to rules, financial services demand compliance with regulatory frameworks.
-
Reliability as consistency: A reliable bullpen wins championships; reliable infrastructure wins member trust.
Many Financial Institutions are rethinking their Cloud Connectivity Strategy for Secure Transactions
Darius McGrew explains that complex solutions are like a well‑executed game plan — strong pitching (security), disciplined adherence to rules (compliance), and consistent hitting (reliability). The institution not only wins the game but also builds a season of trust with its members.
Conclusion
Telecom sales in financial services is not about chasing quick wins; it is about building a season of sustained success.
Darius McGrew is a Florida-based Telecom representative demonstrating how security, compliance, and reliability will form the foundation of every solution.
Through baseball analogies, the parallels are clear: defense prevents errors, rules ensure fairness, and reliability wins championships.
For IT leadership, the lesson is simple: trusted Telecom reps like Darius are not just vendors. They are managers, coaches, and players who ensure that every inning of the technology game delivers value, resilience, and trust.
