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.

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.

TaxTec Development Head Raises Red Flag Framework for AI Deployment in Highly Regulated Fintech
London, United Kingdom, July 21st, 2026, FinanceWire
Austen Little, Head of Product Development at withholding tax reclamation experts TaxTec, has released a summary guidance note on the deployment of AI in highly regulated financial services applications.
The guidance draws on TaxTec’s historical and recent product and service development experience to highlight several areas of risk when using or implementing artificial intelligence in capital markets financial services. Mr Little’s guidance note builds on advice from authorities such as the OECD [1], The World Economic Forum [2] and the International Monetary Fund [3], amongst others, urging caution over the risks of machine learning in financial services processes and decision making.
Mr Little highlights the fact that many financial markets processes, many of which are in the throes of regulatory digitalization, still present challenges for effective AI deployment, including:
- Data quality issues – especially where processes are international and span multiple legislatures
- The rate of digital evolution of the sector and changing regulatory regimes
- The requirements for ‘explainability’ of client decisions (risk, approvals, entitlements)
- The nature and scale of ‘harms’ possibly resulting from AI agent mistakes, and their likely impact on financial institutions
- The AI-generated tension between financial services risk appetite and client service standards/reputation
- Data governance and privacy considerations in data-hungry AI-driven world
Striking a balanced argument, however, Mr Little’s guidance note also highlights where the power and efficiency of AI can be safely deployed and generate substantial value. He points out specific examples from the world of withholding tax reclamation in order to give precise examples that readers can recognize and which are drawn from TaxTec’s real life experience. These include:
- Document management
- Data extraction
- Data quality enhancement
- Research assistance
- Workflow management
- Status monitoring
- Analytics & forecasting

Maple’s syrupUSD tokens arrive on 1inch, widening access to on-chain institutional lending
Dubai, UAE, July 21st, 2026, FinanceWire
- 1inch now supports Maple’s syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT, giving users and builders another route into tokenized lending positions
- At launch, 1inch supports syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT on Ethereum, with more chain integrations coming in the future
- 1inch provides routing and swap infrastructure only; minting, redeeming and lending stay with Maple

1inch, a leading DeFi ecosystem, today announced its integration of Maple’s syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT, two tokens tied to onchain institutional lending. As a routing and swap layer for the tokens, 1inch makes them tradable across its dApp and Swap API.
Maple is an onchain digital asset manager that connects institutional borrowers with lenders. Borrowers take stablecoin loans against overcollateralized crypto, while lenders supply USDC or USDT and receive syrupUSDC or syrupUSDT, tokens that represent their position in Maple’s lending system. Those tokens currently see around $8.5 billion in monthly transfer volume, highlighting the demand for infrastructure capable of supporting RWA markets at scale.
At launch, 1inch supports syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT on Ethereum, with more chain integrations coming in the future. On 1inch.com, users can access the tokens through Swap, Trade or Terminal. Through the 1inch Swap API, builders and institutional teams can integrate Maple swaps directly. Minting, redeeming and lending remain with Maple, while 1inch provides the routing and swap infrastructure.
RWA token liquidity can be fragmented across venues, chains and pools. 1inch routing facilitates efficient access to available liquidity and supports intent-based execution. For users moving between stablecoins and syrup tokens, this means less manual route hunting and a simpler path to execution.
“Tokenized private credit is one of the clearest signs that real-world assets are moving onchain for good, and syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT are among the most active tokens in that category,” said Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch. “Our role is to remove the friction when swapping assets and enable users to move them freely. That’s the infrastructure 1inch has spent years building.”
“Our focus at Maple is building institutional-grade lending that performs onchain, but access is what turns that into adoption,” said Sid Powell, co-founder and CEO of Maple. “Working with 1inch gives users and builders a direct, efficient route into syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT on Ethereum. We manage the credit and deployment strategies; 1inch makes the tokens effortless to trade.”
Users can access on 1inch and explore Maple tokens across supported networks.

Press Release
Nanjing Luma Machinery Launches Upgraded High-Torque Dual-Shaft Shredder Line Worldwide
Custom shredding machines for tire, metal & plastic recycling, proven cost-cutting 25% at Sao Paulo Brazil waste tire recycling plant
Nanjing, China, 21st Jul 2026 – Nanjing Luma Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., an established industrial shredder manufacturer founded in 2015, today announced the global launch of its upgraded full line of industrial shredding solutions, led by its heavy-duty dual-shaft shredder series.
The upgraded product line integrates wear-resistant interchangeable alloy blades, low-speed high-torque dual-shaft drive systems and automated hydraulic spiral feeding controls, directly solving global recyclers’ top pain points: low throughput, frequent blade replacement and frequent jamming downtime across tire recycling, scrap metal processing, plastic reclamation, construction waste and agricultural residue treatment. The flagship tire shredder model stably handles 10+ tons of whole truck, OTR and passenger tires daily, with customizable output tonnage from 3 tons to 20 tons based on client factory demands.
The series has already been successfully deployed in a waste tire recycling project in Sao Paulo, Brazil, boosting the client’s processing capacity by 40 percent. With this launch, the company seeks to expand its presence across South America, Southeast Asia and other global markets. All products are available for global ordering effective immediately.
Core Technical Features

The upgraded shredder line incorporates four key design upgrades, refined based on 11 years of industrial equipment manufacturing experience:
High-torque dual-shaft shredding technology
The low-speed, high-torque dual-shaft structure crushes intact steel-belted tires, heavy scrap metal and rigid construction debris in one pass, eliminating secondary pre-cutting procedures and cutting extra labor costs for recycling factories.
Replaceable high-wear alloy blades
Alloy blades undergo cryogenic heat treatment, boosting wear resistance by 65% and extending service cycles by over 2 times compared with standard blades. Quick disassembly design shortens blade replacement downtime by 70%, compatible with tire, metal, plastic, wood and construction waste shredder equipment.
Spiral feed and hydraulic control system
The integrated spiral feed structure and hydraulic system improve feeding efficiency and reduce material jamming risks, supporting stable continuous operation for heavy-duty shredder units.
High-precision shaft and heavy-duty chassis
Precision-machined cutter shafts and fully welded steel chassis ensure equipment stability under high-load conditions, extending overall machine service life.
Field-Proven Performance in Brazil Project
The heavy-duty dual-shaft tire shredder was deployed at a waste tire recycling facility in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for a client processing passenger, truck and construction machinery tires.
After installation, the client’s daily tire processing volume increased by roughly 40 percent, while overall operating costs dropped by 25 percent. The equipment has run without major malfunctions during continuous operation, and its uniform shredding output improves efficiency of downstream steel wire separation and rubber granule production.
Product Portfolio and Customization Services
Luma offers a full range of industrial shredder models, including metal shredders, plastic shredders, rubber shredders, construction waste shredders, wood shredders, small shredders and spiral shredders, plus matching shredder blades, chassis and cutter shaft components.
Beyond standard models, the company provides tailored shredding solutions based on client material properties, required output capacity and site layout. Services cover full system design, equipment assembly, remote installation guidance and operator training.
Global Compliance Standards
All Nanjing Luma shredder equipment is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 full quality control system and carries complete CE certification per EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC for global EU market access. All electrical, hydraulic and mechanical safety structures comply with Brazil NR-12 industrial machinery safety standards, Indonesia SNI, Thailand TISI and other mainstream regional certification norms for South American & Southeast Asian recycling markets. Full certification documents, safety operation manuals and conformity declarations are delivered with every machine shipment.

“The global launch of our upgraded dual-shaft shredder line reflects our focus on delivering reliable, cost-effective waste processing solutions to clients worldwide,” said Jiangshui Tao, general manager of Nanjing Luma Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd.“We aim to support more businesses in improving recycling efficiency and advancing circular economy goals, while expanding our global service footprint.”
“Our R&D team optimized every core component based on real-world project feedback, from blade material to control system logic,” said Heping Xia , technical director at Nanjing Luma Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd.“These upgrades directly address the most common pain points our clients report: jamming, fast blade wear and unstable long-term operation.”
Industry Context
According to Grand View Research, the global industrial waste recycling equipment market is projected to reach $12.8 billion by 2030, driven by tightening national waste disposal regulations, bans on illegal waste tire stockpiling, and surging demand for reclaimed rubber, scrap steel and recycled plastic materials across manufacturing and construction sectors.
In South America, Brazil introduced strict national waste tire management laws in 2023, mandating full centralized recycling of end-of-life truck and construction tires and imposing heavy fines for illegal landfilling. The policy pushes local recyclers to upgrade high-efficiency shredding systems, creating strong sustained demand for heavy-duty tire shredders. Meanwhile, Southeast Asian countries including Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand are accelerating waste recycling infrastructure construction, leading to year-on-year growth in orders for industrial shredding machinery.
Future Plans
Looking ahead, Luma will continue investing in R&D for industrial shredding technology, expanding its product range to cover more niche material processing needs.
The company also plans to build localized spare parts warehouses and sign regional authorized service partners across Brazil, Vietnam and Indonesia within the next two years, to deliver faster after-sales service, on-site machinery maintenance and real-time local-language technical guidance for global recycling clients. Nanjing Luma will also attend major regional waste recycling expos including Brazil FEIRA RECICLAGEM each year to provide on-site equipment demonstration and customized solution consultation for Latin American recyclers.
Media and Business Inquiries
Global tire, metal and plastic recycling factory owners looking for high-efficiency shredding equipment for South America or Southeast Asian production lines can contact Luma’s dedicated overseas sales team directly via WhatsApp to receive free customized capacity design drawings, equipment quotation and Brazil local compliance solution documents.
