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 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.

Press Release
Trust Signal Expands to MENA to Strengthen Enterprise and Startup Communications
Dubai, UAE, February 19th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, The MENA region today represents one of the world’s most digitally dynamic regions. Several GCC markets report smartphone penetration rates above 90%, while governments are deploying multi-billion-dollar investments to accelerate national digital transformation programs, including Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which prioritizes a diversified, technology-enabled economy, and the UAE’s Digital Economy Strategy, aimed at increasing the digital economy’s contribution to GDP. (Source)

As fintech, e-commerce, logistics, and super apps scale at record speed, communication has become a mission-critical infrastructure. Customer acquisition, authentication, payments, notifications, and support now rely on real-time, compliant, and highly secure messaging ecosystems. At the same time, regulatory frameworks across the region are tightening, and customer expectations around data privacy, responsiveness, and personalization are rising.
Enterprises are therefore rethinking communication not as a channel, but as a strategic growth lever.
Against this backdrop, TrustSignal has announced its expansion into the MENA region. The move reflects a growing demand for resilient, secure, and regulation-ready communication infrastructure that can support both high-growth startups and large enterprises operating across multiple jurisdictions.
With its AI-powered CPaaS ecosystem, TrustSignal aims to enable businesses to manage omnichannel communication with greater reliability, scalability, and compliance. Designed to address the region’s evolving regulatory landscape and diverse consumer behaviors, the platform brings together automation, delivery optimization, and enterprise-grade security to power meaningful customer engagement at scale.
In a region where digital trust directly influences brand growth, communication infrastructure is no longer optional; it is foundational. TrustSignal’s MENA expansion signals a deeper commitment to supporting businesses as they navigate this next phase of digital maturity.
Why MENA, Why Now
The Communication Platform as a Service market in the Middle East and Africa is projected to reach approximately US$10.1 billion by 2030 (Source). This trajectory signals more than sector expansion. It reflects a structural redesign of how enterprises approach customer engagement.
The growth is demand-led.
Across MENA, this momentum is reinforced by API first cloud adoption, mobile commerce growth, heightened security requirements, and cross-border digital expansion.
Channel dynamics are shifting in parallel. A2P SMS remains central for authentication and alerts, while WhatsApp Business APIs and conversational messaging are accelerating across retail and financial services. Enterprises are moving from broadcast notifications to interactive, two-way journeys, with voice APIs gaining ground in security and service coordination.
Communication is not only increasing in volume, but advancing in complexity.
What This Means for Businesses in MENA
The acceleration of CPaaS adoption in MENA marks a structural shift in how enterprises design customer engagement. As messaging evolves from one-way notifications to real-time interactive journeys, communication now sits at the core of revenue flow, fraud prevention, customer trust, and compliance.
Enterprises are navigating rising authentication volumes, expanding conversational traffic, cross-border delivery complexity, and tighter regulatory expectations, demanding infrastructure that is intelligent, resilient, and measurable.
TrustSignal’s expansion aligns with this inflection point, enabling businesses to move beyond scale toward real-time optimization, lower latency, stronger verification stability, and more reliable customer journeys. In a market where a delayed OTP can disrupt transactions and erode trust, communication performance directly shapes business performance.
MENA’s next phase of digital growth will be defined not by message volume, but by delivery intelligence.
Reframing Communication as a Performance Engine
TrustSignal approaches the regional opportunity with a clear thesis: communication infrastructure must evolve from a cost center to a measurable growth engine.
Its AI-enabled CPaaS platform is anchored on three structural capabilities.
- Intelligent Routing and Optimization
Adaptive algorithms analyze delivery behavior in real time, dynamically selecting optimal routes to improve authentication reliability and reduce latency during demand spikes. - Performance Visibility and Analytics
Granular reporting frameworks provide enterprises with actionable insights into delivery outcomes, engagement metrics, and channel efficiency, enabling continuous refinement of communication workflows. - Security and Compliance Architecture
Embedded encryption layers and compliance-aligned frameworks are designed to support evolving regulatory standards across MENA jurisdictions.
Rather than positioning itself as a transactional messaging vendor, TrustSignal operates as an infrastructure partner focused on engineering predictability, resilience, and measurable impact into enterprise communication systems.
A Forward Looking Vision
As MENA’s digital economy matures, the defining differentiator will be operational precision.
TrustSignal’s regional roadmap centers on advancing AI-driven communication intelligence, deepening vertical integrations across fintech, retail, healthcare, and mobility, strengthening predictive performance modeling to anticipate demand surges, and expanding localized enterprise advisory capabilities.
The long term objective is to help enterprises transition from reactive messaging systems to predictive communication ecosystems where infrastructure continuously adapts to optimize engagement, security, and efficiency.
Against this backdrop, the Middle East and North Africa represent a strategic growth frontier for the company. Articulating this vision, Mr Imran Shaikh, Founder and CEO of TrustSignal, stated:
“MENA stands among the world’s most dynamic digital markets. Our expansion underscores a long term commitment to equipping enterprises with a compliant, scalable communication infrastructure that advances regional digital ambitions.”
TrustSignal’s expansion reflects alignment with that future, one where communication is architected for resilience, transparency, and measurable business impact.

AI Meets Arabic Literature: Qirtas App Unveils Scalable Publishing Infrastructure at Web Summit Qatar 2026
Doha, Qatar, 19th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Qirtas App, a dual-interface digital platform headquartered in Istanbul and Malmo, announced its mission to bridge the global gap in Arabic literature accessibility following its successful showcase in the Alpha Startup category at Web Summit Qatar. By integrating cutting-edge AI production tools with a seamless streaming interface, Qirtas is providing the technical infrastructure needed to digitize the fragmented $4 billion Arab publishing market.

Despite a global population of 430 million Arabic speakers, the publishing industry has long been hampered by prohibitive shipping costs, high piracy rates, and a lack of digital infrastructure. Qirtas App addresses these systemic barriers through a twofold solution: a freemium streaming platform for readers and a sophisticated digital management backend for publishers.
Empowering Publishers through the “AI Production Suite”
Qirtas is not merely a distributor; it is a catalyst for digital transformation. For traditional publishers, the platform offers a dedicated portal to convert physical catalogs into secure, monetizable digital assets.
AI-Automated Production: The platform utilizes proprietary AI to automatically generate high-quality audiobooks and smart summaries, drastically reducing the time and cost barriers that previously prevented publishers from entering the digital space.
Institutional Security: With advanced Digital Rights Management (DRM) and real-time reader analytics, publishers maintain full control over their intellectual property while gaining unprecedented insights into global consumption patterns.
The Future of the Arab Reading Experience
For the global Arab diaspora, Qirtas offers a comprehensive streaming library featuring Qirtas AI, an interactive reading assistant that provides instant translation, text-to-speech narration, and social integration.
“The Arab publishing world is rich in content but starved of modern distribution,” said Tamer Odeh, CEO of Qirtas App. “With Qirtas, we are removing the friction. We aren’t just giving readers an app; we are giving publishers the tools to survive and thrive in a digital-first economy.”
Alaa Barghouth, COO of Qirtas App, added: “Our participation in Web Summit Qatar has confirmed the massive appetite for this technology. We have already secured commitments from major publishing houses ready to onboard their catalogs. We are now focused on scaling our infrastructure to meet this demand.”
Market Opportunity & Investment
The digital publishing segment in the MENA region is currently valued at $400 million and is experiencing rapid year-over-year growth. Having validated its model with early industry commitments, Qirtas App is currently open for pre-seed investment to accelerate its market launch and expand its AI-driven production capabilities.

About Qirtas App
Qirtas is a Swedish-Turkish “Deep-Tech” publishing platform dedicated to revitalizing Arabic literature. By combining AI-powered content production with a global streaming model, Qirtas connects 430 million Arabic speakers with the books they love, while providing publishers with the tools to digitize and protect their heritage.

BTCD Foundation Launches Layer 1 Blockchain Infrastructure and Opens Public Testnet

The BTCD Foundation has announced the upcoming deployment of its proprietary Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure. This development marks the introduction of a new technical framework designed to support decentralized applications and secure digital transactions. The Foundation has confirmed that the Public Testnet is scheduled to open for user participation on February 15, 2026.
Technical Architecture and Infrastructure
The BTCD platform is engineered as an independent Layer 1 blockchain, distinct from token-based projects that rely on existing third-party networks. The core infrastructure utilizes a hybrid consensus mechanism combining Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and Proof of Stake (PoS) protocols.
This architectural design is intended to address common scalability challenges in blockchain technology. The technical specifications indicate a capacity for high-volume throughput, with initial testing targeting transaction speeds of over 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) while maintaining sub-second finality. The system is built to operate autonomously, providing a decentralized foundation for developers and users.

Testnet Deployment and Minting Mechanism
Beginning February 15, 2026, the BTCD Foundation will initiate the Public Testnet phase. This phase allows users to interact with the network’s minting protocol to test system stability and performance.
The minting process follows a programmed algorithmic schedule designed to test the network’s long-term sustainability over a projected 25-year timeline. The protocol includes technical halving events scheduled every 2.5 years to regulate the issuance rate of digital assets on the network.
Transition to Mainnet
The Testnet phase is a precursor to the official Mainnet launch, which is currently scheduled for May 15, 2026. The Foundation has outlined a technical migration plan wherein digital assets minted during the Testnet phase will be recognized on the Mainnet system upon its activation.
Ecosystem Development Roadmap
Following the Mainnet launch, the BTCD Foundation plans to deploy a suite of decentralized applications (dApps) integrated directly into the Layer 1 core. The technical roadmap outlines the phased release of nine specific utilities, including:
- Nexora: A decentralized communication protocol.
- Guardian DEX: A decentralized exchange interface.
-
WealthBook: A social networking platform integrated with blockchain identity verification.
Future updates scheduled for later in 2026 involve the integration of automated trading algorithms and asset management utilities.
About BTCD Foundation
The BTCD Foundation is a technology organization focused on the development of Layer 1 blockchain solutions. It aims to build a scalable, secure, and decentralized infrastructure to support the next generation of digital applications.
