SINGAPORE – GCL Global Holdings Ltd (Nasdaq: GCL) (“GCL” or the “Company”), a leading provider of games and entertainment, today announced that its publishing subsidiary, 4Divinity Pte. Ltd. (“4Divinity”),  together with developer Leap Studio, has officially launched  “Realm of Ink,” the highly anticipated fast-paced action roguelite. The game is now available in its full V1.0 release for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, alongside launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch.

Blending breathtaking Chinese-inspired ink art, fluid 2.5D visuals, and lightning-fast combat, “Realm of Ink” follows Red, a relentless swordswoman trapped within a world written in ink. As she hunts the mysterious Fox Demon, Red uncovers a devastating truth: her fate has already been written within the pages of a book. To escape, she must battle through illusion, challenge fate itself, and carve a new destiny one page at a time.

In “Realm of Ink,” death is only the beginning. Each defeat returns Red to the Inn, a sanctuary filled with allies, upgrades, unlockable combat forms, and new opportunities to reshape every future run. More than cosmetic variations, each playable form introduces distinct weapons, skills, combat identity, and powerful build possibilities, encouraging players to experiment with new strategies, elemental Ink Gems, and evolving relic combinations as they fight deeper into the Ink Realm.

“Today’s launch of ‘Realm of Ink’ marks an exciting milestone for GCL and our publishing team at 4Divinity,” said Sebastian Toke, Group CEO at GCL. “From its breathtaking ink-inspired art style to the fast-paced, rewarding gameplay, ‘Realm of Ink’ represents the kind of bold, high-quality interactive entertainment we are committed to bringing to players around the world. We are incredibly proud of what Leap Studio has created and grateful for the passion and support the community has shown throughout development. With the game now having exited Early Access on Steam and launching globally across PC and consoles, we look forward to seeing players immerse themselves in the Ink Realm and experience this unforgettable journey firsthand.”

To celebrate today’s launch, 4Divinity has unveiled a new trailer featuring never-before-seen gameplay and stunning cinematics. Offering fans the most exciting look yet at the game’s brutal combat, haunting ink-painted environments, and evolving narrative, the trailer welcomes players into the beautifully crafted world of “Realm of Ink” as it launches worldwide today.

In support of the full launch, Leap Studio is also excited to announce a special crossover collaboration with 91Act, bringing content inspired by “BlazBlue Entropy Effect” into the Ink Realm.

Available now as part of the ‘Realm of Ink’ launch update, players can unlock Oread, the formidable Stage 4 boss from “BlazBlue Entropy Effect,” as a fully playable character form. Entering the battlefield with devastating style, Oread arrives equipped with a powerful new Ink Gem, two exclusive Ink Pet skins, and unique perks designed to complement her aggressive combat abilities, opening up bold new build possibilities for players ready to master her relentless fighting style.

About “Realm of Ink”

“Realm of Ink” is a fast-paced, ink-washed action roguelite where the line between fate and freedom begins to blur. As the protagonist Red pursues the Fox Demon, she discovers she exists inside a story not of her own making, and the only path to freedom is rebellion.

Within this living manuscript, every death reshapes the narrative. Players unlock new combat forms, supernatural abilities, and evolving Story Relics that transform each run into a new battle for survival. Along the way, they will confront powerful bosses guarding the truth behind the Ink Realm and encounter more than 20 mythical beings inspired by Chinese folklore and literature.

With every slash, revelation, and rebirth, players move closer to breaking the cycle and writing their own ending.

Key Features

  • Endless Cycles & Rebirth: Break free from prewritten fate as you unlock powerful new forms with every run. Harness the Fox Demon’s immortal abilities, uncover evolving Story Relics, and challenge four unique bosses standing between you and the truth.

CGTN: Building modern, livable cities: China’s people-centered approach to urban development

Published

9 minutes ago

on

July 17, 2026

By

In recent years, China has accelerated its urban renewal efforts, aiming to create modern, livable cities for residents. CGTN published an article exploring how China is transforming urban spaces through a people-centered approach, and how urban renewal, improved public services and smart governance are enhancing people’s quality of life.

For decades, residents of Shimin Xincun, a residential community in Shanghai’s Huangpu District, lived with aging buildings, outdated facilities and daily inconveniences. Today, the neighborhood has taken on a new look.

After more than three years of renovation, the four residential buildings built in the 1950s have been transformed with safer structures, modern kitchens and bathrooms, elevators, private balconies, pocket gardens and underground parking facilities. The upgrade benefited 351 households and greatly improved their overall living experience.

The community’s transformation reflects a broader effort across China to make cities more livable and people-centered.

During an inspection tour on Wednesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Shimin Xincun and highlighted the importance of high-quality urban renewal in advancing urban modernization.

Xi stressed the need to fully embrace the people-centered philosophy of urban development, saying urban development should focus on improving residents’ sense of fulfillment, happiness and security.

Renovating aging neighborhoods for better living

Since 2020, China has accelerated efforts to upgrade aging residential communities, improve underground infrastructure and revitalize historic neighborhoods, aiming to create cities that better meet people’s changing needs.

Wenzhou, an eastern Chinese city, provides an example of how urban renewal can not only improve living conditions but also generate new economic opportunities. The city was rated among the highest-performing cities in China’s 2025 urban renewal action, alongside Beijing, Shanghai and other cities.

In 2025, Wenzhou renovated more than 330,000 square meters of old residential communities, adding facilities such as fitness equipment, elderly-friendly handrails and children’s play areas.

The city has also explored ways to combine urban renewal with local economic development. In the Shuangjingfang neighborhood, 8,000 square meters of unused space was revitalized, where more than 100 designers, architects and entrepreneurs joined forces to develop new businesses, including small theaters, cafes, boutique hotels and cultural spaces. The area has since attracted more than 8 million visitors annually and generated more than 100 million yuan (about $14.8 million) in yearly revenue.

Furthermore, Wenzhou has turned unused urban spaces into new public assets. Former industrial sites and abandoned areas have been transformed into cultural venues, parks and scenic spots, including a cliffside forest theater and a 25-kilometer island ring scenic corridor in Dongtou District.

These urban renewal projects have not only repaired aging buildings but also expanded public spaces, boosted local economies and enhanced residents’ quality of life.

From urban renewal to better governance

Beyond physical upgrades, China is also focusing on improving urban services and governance.

During Xi’s visit to Shanghai, he visited the home of a retired resident to learn about her daily life. He said that the Communist Party of China is dedicated to serving the people, and that only when people live and work in peace and contentment can the Party and the government feel reassured.

Xi also visited a community fresh produce stall, where he stressed the importance of improving community governance and building well-equipped communities and convenient living circles.

In recent years, China has been promoting the development of “15-minute community life circles.” The initiative aims to ensure that residents can access essential services within a short walk from their homes, including grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, healthcare, elderly care, childcare, fitness and leisure facilities.

The program has become a key part of China’s efforts to improve urban living standards and create more convenient communities. According to official data, by the end of 2025, more than 8,100 15-minute community life circles had been established nationwide, covering more than 160 million residents.

At the same time, cities across China are using digital technologies to improve governance. Through big data and artificial intelligence technologies, local governments are enhancing real-time monitoring of infrastructure, improving emergency responses and making public services more efficient.

Beijing’s 12345 citizen service hotline is one example. By integrating big data and AI technologies, the platform has improved how public requests are processed and followed up. In 2023, it handled 21.44 million citizen requests, with a 100% response rate, a 95.5% resolution rate and a 96.1% satisfaction rate. The hotline has become a model for improving governance in a megacity.

From urban renewal to urban governance, China is advancing a people-centered approach to city development. Beyond ensuring that people have a place to live, the focus is now on creating more livable communities, improving public services and enhancing governance, allowing residents to share more fully in the benefits of urban development.

Press Release

MEXC May–June Report: 750M+ USDT Futures Insurance Fund & 100% Asset Reserves

Published

56 minutes ago

on

July 17, 2026

By

Mutsamudu, Comoros, July 16th, 2026, Chainwire

MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, today released its May–June bimonthly security report, reinforcing its role as a trusted global gateway where security and trust always come first. The audit indicates that MEXC’s Futures Insurance Fund surpassed a landmark threshold of 750 million USDT as of June 29, marking a substantial 34% expansion over the preceding reporting period. Concurrently, reserve verification data confirm that the coverage ratios for BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC all remained safely above 100%, with Bitcoin delivering a reserve ratio of 269.35%.

During May–June, crypto security incidents remained elevated across the industry. According to aggregated data from major blockchain monitoring agencies, 142 independent security incidents were confirmed during the period, resulting in approximately US$194 million in verifiable financial losses. DeFi security incidents accounted for 55% of total incidents, with related losses of approximately US$150 million. Cross-chain bridges, private key management, and user endpoints emerged as the three major weak points in the industry’s security landscape during the period.

Against this backdrop, asset reserve transparency and risk-buffering capacity have become important foundations for user protection across trading platforms.

Futures Insurance Fund Grows to 751 Million USDT

Quantifying this safety buffer, the total balance of MEXC Futures Insurance Fund reached 751 million USDT by the June 29 close, marking a net capital inflow of over 191 million USDT relative to the prior bimonthly disclosure. This dedicated capital reserve serves as a primary systemic countermeasure designed to absorb unexpected liquidation slippage during periods of heightened market volatility.

By neutralizing excess delta risk, the fund systematically reduces the likelihood of activating Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) protocols, thereby ensuring orderly clearing conditions across all active derivatives markets. Real-time solvency tracking and live reserve balances remain continuously auditable via the public MEXC Proof of Trust interface.

Major Assets Continue to Maintain Excess Reserves, with BTC Reserve Ratio Reaching 269.35%

In addition to providing a risk buffer for the futures market, MEXC continues to enhance asset transparency through its Proof of Reserves mechanism, allowing users to verify asset backing directly on-chain.

As of the reporting date, reserve ratios for major assets were as follows:

  • BTC: Reserve ratio of 269.35%, with 12,656.63 BTC held in wallets, corresponds to 4,698.90 BTC in user assets.
  • ETH: Reserve ratio of 118.14%, with 77,527.30 ETH held in wallets.
  • USDT: Reserve ratio of 113.95%, with approximately 2.139 billion USDT held in wallets.
  • USDC: Reserve ratio of 125.41%, with approximately 95.41 million USDC held in wallets.

These reserve figures are publicly verifiable through on-chain wallet addresses and MEXC’s Merkle Tree-based Proof of Reserves system, enabling users to independently verify asset coverage.

Maintaining platform-wide custody standards, the MEXC Guardian Fund continues to operate its rigorous dual-reserve architecture consisting of USDT and BTC allocations. Every underlying crypto-asset remains fully segregated, verifiable, and tied to on-chain addresses that are permanently open to public audit. The strategic asset expansion roadmap previously disclosed by the corporate risk team remains fully underway.

Guardian Fund Wallet Addresses:

From risk identification to asset recovery, throughout the Entire Trading Journey

During May–June, user-side attacks also continued to increase. Phishing scams and endpoint & supply chain security incidents resulted in approximately US$28.59 million in related losses, highlighting the growing importance of account risk identification, external support for suspicious fund investigations, and asset recovery capabilities.

In terms of related user protection mechanisms, risk mitigation within the MEXC infrastructure extends far beyond baseline asset reserves, integrating advanced account risk identification, external forensic investigations into funds, and systematic recovery protocols for misdirected transfers. 

During the May–June performance window, the platform’s financial intelligence unit successfully flagged and restricted 9,518 accounts linked to organized illicit syndicates, effectively dismantling 4,394 distinct fraudulent networks.

Geographically, these illicit operations exhibited high concentration vectors within two primary jurisdictions:

  • Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Region: 2,096 fraudulent networks neutralized.
  • Indonesia: 1,229 fraudulent networks neutralized.

In parallel with internal containment, MEXC significantly expanded its judicial and law-enforcement cooperation protocols. The compliance department processed 497 external statutory investigation requests, which included the successful execution of 53 judicial asset-freezing mandates. Furthermore, the platform’s real-time transaction monitoring systems intercepted 7 high-risk inbound illicit fund transfers, freezing a total of 303,277 USDT before it could contaminate the exchange’s broader liquidity pools.

Addressing user-side transactional errors, MEXC manually processed 812 individual asset recovery requests involving erroneous cross-chain deposits and misdirected transfers, successfully remediating assets valued at 343,515 USDT. Every sub-case was subjected to a dual-layer review protocol that combined manual asset verification with on-chain forensic auditing. Compliance teams deployed advanced multi-ledger cross-chain tracing techniques to locate, isolate, and safely return the misrouted capital to its rightful owners.

Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC, said, “True trust is not built on promises made before risks emerge, but on whether protection remains visible and verifiable when challenges arise. With our Futures Insurance Fund surpassing 750 million USDT, together with publicly verifiable Proof of Reserves, we are reinforcing MEXC’s role as a trusted global gateway where security and trust always come first, ensuring all user’s assets are safeguarded.”

About MEXC

MEXC is the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, trusted by more than 40 million users across 170+ markets. Built on a user-first philosophy, MEXC offers industry-leading 0-fee trading and access to over 3,000 digital assets.
