AOFEX Establishes Japan Branch to Implement Its Globalization
AOFEX has officially established its Japan Branch on September 16, 2021 to start its business in Japan and further develop the market in Asia. To celebrate the establishment of AOFEX’s Japan Branch and express our gratitude to our users, AOFEX gives away 200,000 USDT (Find our more benefits at the end of the article).
Since its launch on September 2nd, the Canadian branch of AOFEX has carried out various digital asset businesses in an orderly manner, deepened its localization strategy, and provided local users with high-quality digital financial services. Up to now, AOFEX has gained the trust and support of more than 50,000 Canadian users. The establishment of the Japan Station is another milestone in the implementation of the “AOFEX Global Strategic Plan”. In the AOFEX business strategy and user expectations, AOFEX will steadily develop upwards and achieve a global layout.
About AOFEX
AOFEX, based in London, the United Kingdom, is a global leading service platform of digital assets with security. Engage in finance and technology for many years, the core staff of AOFEX have provided technology and business consultation services for a large number of financial institution, and accumulated rich experience in risk control and management. AOFEX has introduced the world’s top risk control system of bank securities, adopted underlying security technologies, established an internal supervision and warning system, as well as built a risk reserve mechanism to provide users with a more secure cryptocurrency trading environment.
To follow the mission of “including more people into the digital finance”, and insist on the vision of “being the most influential digital financial platform to provide service for 10 million institutional investors and qualified investors”, AOFEX has received the MSB license for digital currency trading and can provide 24-hour services for 1.7 million users.
AOFEX Development
To promote the leading service of digital assets with security to the world, accurately attract more users, and obtain more digital financial resources. In 2021, AOFEX will further promote the business, fully launch the global strategic plan, and establish more branches in different countries around the world, bringing qualify services to more regions.
The establishment of Japan Branch will provide cryptocurrency services to users in Japan and other Asian regions, which is another localized service after Canada Branch.
Establish branches in more countries/regions
To implement this Plan, AOFEX, based on the service system, cryptocurrency industry, and market demands, strives to offer local services in countries and regions, enriches local blockchain asset exchange service with the guidance of local policies, and provides diverse and comprehensive trading products and quality financial services for global users at the bigger picture.
Provide professional services based on the practical situations in Japan
For cryptocurrency regulation, Japan leads the way. In April 2017, Japan has enacted the Amended Fund Settlement Act on cryptocurrencies. More laws have been implemented, such as the Fund Settlement Implementation Act, Decrees on Cryptocurrency Exchange by the Industry Cabinet Office and other related regulations. At the same time, the Financial Services Agency also issued a number of guidelines and decrees to support the specific implementation of such regulations. To accelerate the application of cryptocurrency, relevant regulations have contributed to the compilation of other laws and regulations, such as the Financial Commodity Exchange Act and the Banking Act. In this case, AOFEX will develop a digital asset service system suitable for the local development based relevant policies.
For asset services, nearly $100 million of digital assets on crypto exchanges in Japan were hacked, triggering panic. AOFEX always values the security. As AOFEX launches its branch in Japan, it will bring safe and reliable services to users and develop local digital finance.
Integrate with the platform’s ecosystems to enhance value
Expanding businesses——OT is a digital asset on ERC20 issued by AOFEX. The application scenarios of OT cover all products and rights and interests on the platform, including but not limited to deducting fees, obtaining airdrop rewards, preferential purchase of hot saving products, bonus rebate, positions and mining, AP integration branch, etc. As AOFEX is growing, its OT businesses are expanding to improve the ecosystem of AOFEX.
With the business development and layout of AOFEX and growing OT, AOFEX ecosystem will be improved a lot in a short time. Since the establishment of Canada Branch, OT has gone up steadily, with an increase of 159.12% in 30 days, quoting 6.7513 USDT now. As OT goes up steadily and its mechanism is being improved, AOFEX ecosystem will also grow bigger, to contribute to the mutual development.
Expanding Business scope ——OT (Option Token) is a digital asset issued by AOFEX based on ERC20, covering all businesses of the platform in the world. The functions of OT cover all products and rights and interests in the platform, including but not limited to: deducting fees, obtaining air drop awards, preferential purchase of hot financial products, bonus rebate, mining, AP integration branch, etc.
With the development of AOFEX, more abundant business scope of OT will be explored, developing the AOFEX ecology.
。
Well-performed deflation mechanism——To increase the ecological value of OT, the platform will establish a sound deflation mechanism, and adopt the mode of burning before output, where the amount of burning is ≧ the amount of output. After the launch of OT, the circulation volume on the secondary market does not exceed 20% (20 million) of the total amount, until the total amount reaches 20 million. AOFEX exchange uses 20% of profits from transaction fees per month to repurchase OT from secondary markets and burn it. Besides, OT is burnt along with the launch of new projects. Through burning by repurchase and listing, the total amount of OT is decreased to improve its scarcity, provide stable necessities and accelerate the burning schedule, build a complete token economy system, and enable OT and AOFEX ecosystem to appreciate greatly. Until now, AOFEX has destroyed 8,844,820 OT in total.
Diverse features——OT is now used for voting, payment, lockup or holding positions. OT holders can enjoy corresponding rights and benefits, and are supported by AOFEX’s platform value. At the same time, due to the inelastic demand of project parties and comments, OT circulating amount will be reduced to create long-term and stable good situation. With the global strategic plan, AOFEX ecosystem scenarios are gradually implemented and OT will be adopted in all scenarios to empower the eocsystem and create values.

The brand holds about 60 percent of the country’s pod system market and around 80 percent of its German shipments are in reusable formats, with four products honoured this year by the German Design Award and the CMF Design Awards
United States, 1st Jun 2026, –
Global vape brand ELFBAR today set out how its German business has shifted toward reusable pod systems over the past several product cycles, following recognition of four of its products by the German Design Award and the International CMF Design Awards in 2026.
The two juries honoured the ELFX Mini, the ELFX 2, the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFA pod system. The group together accounts for a meaningful share of ELFBAR’s German sales. The German Design Award is organised by the German Design Council. The International CMF Design Awards evaluates excellence in colour, material and finish. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.
What the data shows
According to internal company data, ELFBAR holds about 60 percent of the German pod system category. That makes it the largest player in the country’s largest vape submarket. Prefilled and refillable products — the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — make up roughly 80 percent of the company’s shipments to Germany. Single-use formats, once a defining part of the category, no longer drive the brand’s German business.
The product mix has shifted gradually rather than overnight. The change reflects deliberate prioritisation inside the company: ELFBAR has steadily reduced the share of single-use formats in its German offer and reinvested behind devices that can be refilled, recharged and serviced over a longer life.
Design language
The shift toward reusable formats has been accompanied by a change in how ELFBAR’s products look and feel. The ELFX and ELFA series — including the four products honoured this year — share a quieter design vocabulary than the bright single-use silhouettes that defined the category’s earliest growth. Colour palettes are subdued. Casings are contoured for one-handed use. Materials are selected for grip and longevity. Branding is small.
“Good design should feel confident, not loud,” said Becky Liu, Head of Industrial Design at ELFBAR. “With ELFX and ELFA, we focus on a clean-cut form, precision, and a calm material touch-feel to bring an elegant and intuitive user experience.”
That visual approach has now been independently endorsed. The German Design Award named the ELFX Mini and the ELFA Master Stein as 2026 winners. The CMF Design Awards recognised both the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFX 2. The combined recognition applies standards normally used to assess mainstream consumer electronics to a category that has historically been judged on different terms.
The reusable approach in practice
ELFBAR describes its reusable design approach in three working principles, drawn from how the products are engineered and sold rather than from marketing language.
The first is that components are designed to be replaceable. Pods, cartridges and, in some models, batteries can be exchanged so that the body of the device stays in use beyond the life of any single consumable.
The second is that everyday friction is engineered out of the product. Visible e-liquid windows, magnetically secured cartridges, structured status displays and adjustable airflow and power settings are integrated to reduce small daily annoyances that often push users back to single-use products.
The third is that safety features are built into the cartridge. The ELFX POD 2.0 generation, which launches with ELFX 2 in Germany in June 2026, adds a child lock, an upgraded airway for richer flavour, and a 5A leakproof system designed to contain e-liquid during everyday use.
The regulatory backdrop
The shift inside ELFBAR’s German business has played out against a broader change in European regulation. National-level restrictions on disposable products, higher expectations around packaging and e-waste, and closer scrutiny of product safety have all put pressure on bright, short-lived devices. Brands able to demonstrate genuine reusability, supported by replaceable components, accessible spare parts and durable design, are increasingly separated by retailers and regulators from those that cannot.
ELFBAR’s German position is being treated inside the company as a test case for how the rest of its European business will be structured. The plan is to introduce the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs to additional European markets in due course, with ELFX 2 leading the next wave from Germany in June 2026.

Reusable device debuts with the new ELFX POD 2.0 generation, featuring a child lock, an upgraded airway and a 5A leakproof system
United States, 1st Jun 2026, –
Global vape brand ELFBAR will launch the ELFX 2, a reusable pod system already honoured by the International CMF Design Awards, in Germany in June 2026. The device will be the first in the company’s lineup to ship with the new ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation, which adds three upgrades focused on safety, flavour delivery and leakage protection.
ELFX 2 will go on sale through ELFBAR’s authorised retail and online channels. Specific on-sale dates, pricing and full channel availability will be confirmed closer to launch. The product is intended for adult smokers and ex-smokers as an alternative to combustible tobacco.
What is new in ELFX POD 2.0
The ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation ships standard with ELFX 2 in Germany and changes three things from the prior generation.
The first is a child lock. The dedicated locking mechanism is designed to make unintended activation by a child significantly less likely. The feature reflects ELFBAR’s youth access prevention commitments and aligns with European regulatory expectations around pod-level safety engineering.
The second is an upgraded internal airway. The redesigned airflow path is tuned for more consistent flavour expression across the life of the pod. This is an area where adult users moving from disposable to reusable formats have historically reported the largest gap.
The third is a 5A leakproof system. The architecture is intended to keep e-liquid contained during everyday pocket carry, temperature change and travel. Leakage has been one of the most common complaints across the wider pod system category, and addressing it has been a focus of ELFBAR’s engineering team for the past two product cycles.
The device itself
ELFX 2 is a reusable device with a refillable architecture, a rechargeable battery and replaceable pods. Its physical design earned the CMF Design Award earlier this year, in a cycle that also recognised the ELFA Master Stein. Sister product ELFX Mini, alongside the ELFA Master Stein, won the German Design Award in the same year. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.
The casing is contoured for one-handed grip. The colour palette is subdued and the material finish is low-gloss. Pods are held in place magnetically and click into position without alignment effort. The e-liquid window keeps refill timing intuitive. The status display communicates battery and pod state at a glance. Airflow and power settings can be adjusted by the user.
“Good design should feel confident, not loud,” said Becky Liu, Head of Industrial Design at ELFBAR. “With ELFX and ELFA, we focus on a clean-cut form, precision, and a calm material touch-feel to bring an elegant and intuitive user experience.”
Why Germany first
Germany is ELFBAR’s largest European market. The company reports a 60 percent share of the country’s pod system category, based on internal data. Prefilled and refillable products — including the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — make up roughly 80 percent of its German shipments. The country has also been the first market to receive several previous ELFBAR product introductions, and the company’s local distribution footprint is the deepest of any of its European markets.
The June launch puts ELFX 2 into German retail at the same moment that European regulators are tightening rules on disposable formats and packaging waste. Reusable pod systems with replaceable components are increasingly being treated by retailers as a separate product category from disposable vapes, and ELFX 2 is positioned within that distinction.
European rollout to follow
ELFX 2 will be the lead product in ELFBAR’s broader European introduction of the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs. Subsequent market launches will follow Germany in waves. Dates, pricing and channel partners will be communicated market by market.
