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.

From Early Hardship to Building a $35.8M Portfolio: Don Kilam Shares the Business Philosophy Behind His Entrepreneurial Journey
Don Kilam reflects on the experiences, business principles, and organizational strategies that contributed to the growth of Kilam International while expanding educational resources for entrepreneurs.
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States – Every entrepreneurial journey begins with a defining moment. For Don Kilam, founder of Kilam International, that moment emerged from overcoming significant personal and financial challenges that ultimately reshaped his perspective on business ownership, organizational planning, and long-term enterprise development.
From navigating periods of financial hardship and homelessness to building a business portfolio valued at approximately $35.8 million, Kilam’s story reflects years of entrepreneurship, strategic planning, and continuous learning. Rather than describing his experience as a universal roadmap to success, Kilam says his journey demonstrates the importance of understanding how businesses are organized, managed, and developed over time.
According to Kilam, one of the most significant lessons he learned was the value of treating business activities with the same discipline and structure expected of established organizations. That philosophy has since become a central theme of the educational resources developed through Kilam International, where entrepreneurs are encouraged to learn about business organization, operational planning, and responsible financial management.
A Journey That Changed His Perspective
Before establishing his current business portfolio, Kilam faced numerous personal and financial obstacles that shaped his approach to entrepreneurship. Those experiences motivated him to better understand how businesses operate, how organizations are structured, and how long-term planning can contribute to sustainable business growth.
“Building a business changed the way I viewed entrepreneurship,” said Kilam. “I came to appreciate the importance of organization, planning, accountability, and understanding how businesses function. Those experiences continue to influence the educational work we do today.”
Kilam explains that many entrepreneurs focus primarily on generating revenue, while often overlooking the importance of building a solid operational foundation. His experience led him to place greater emphasis on business structure, documentation, financial organization, and strategic planning as part of managing a growing enterprise.
Business Practices That Supported Growth
Throughout the development of Kilam International, Kilam adopted a number of business practices that he believes contributed to the company’s evolution.
One area of focus involved operating through formal business entities, including limited liability companies (LLCs) and trust structures where appropriate. According to Kilam, these organizational decisions were made as part of broader business planning and in consultation with professional advisors based on the company’s operational needs.
The company also invested in maintaining organized accounting systems and business banking practices to support financial management and administrative oversight. Kilam says accurate financial records and consistent operational procedures became increasingly important as business activities expanded.
As the company grew, Kilam explored a variety of business financing opportunities to support expansion initiatives. He notes that financing decisions were evaluated based on business objectives and available opportunities, while emphasizing that funding options vary significantly depending on the nature of each business and should always be assessed with appropriate professional guidance.
Kilam International also continued to explore business development opportunities through strategic partnerships, private business initiatives, and educational programs. These activities contributed to the company’s broader focus on entrepreneurship, business education, and organizational growth.
In addition, the company diversified its business interests across multiple sectors, including real estate, digital education, and online business communities. Kilam says diversification formed part of the company’s long-term business strategy and reflected its commitment to developing multiple areas of enterprise activity rather than relying on a single business segment.
Expanding Entrepreneurial Education
Drawing from these experiences, Kilam International has expanded its educational initiatives to help entrepreneurs better understand business organization, operational planning, accounting practices, and enterprise management.
The company’s educational resources discuss topics including business entity selection, organizational planning, financial recordkeeping, responsible business administration, and long-term operational development. Kilam emphasizes that these materials are intended to encourage informed decision-making and should not be interpreted as legal, tax, investment, or financial advice.
“Our goal is to encourage entrepreneurs to think beyond the initial stages of launching a business,” Kilam said. “Building a sustainable organization requires continuous learning, responsible planning, and a willingness to adapt as opportunities and challenges evolve.”
Through its online community and digital educational platforms, Kilam International continues to publish content designed to help entrepreneurs better understand the operational aspects of running a business. The company says future educational initiatives will continue to focus on entrepreneurship, organizational development, and business management while encouraging individuals to seek qualified professional advice for decisions involving legal, financial, or tax matters.
While every entrepreneurial journey is unique, Kilam believes that education, planning, and responsible business practices remain valuable components of long-term enterprise development. His story—from overcoming hardship to building a diversified business portfolio—serves as the foundation for Kilam International’s ongoing commitment to supporting entrepreneurship through education rather than promises of financial outcomes.

Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund Named Winner of Two 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Awards for Best Fund over 10 Years
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, August 3rd, 2026, FinanceWire
Independent recognition of a decade of consistent, risk-adjusted performance
The Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund was recognised with the 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Awards for Best Fund over 10 Years in the Bond Sukuk Global USD classification, winning across two award universes: Global Islamic and MENA Markets.
The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards have, for more than three decades, recognised funds that have delivered consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers. Winners are determined using LSEG Lipper’s independent, proprietary quantitative methodology, based on the Lipper Leader rating for Consistent Return over three-, five-, and ten-year periods.
The Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund is a UCITS sub-fund of an open-ended, Luxembourg-incorporated umbrella investment company. One of the longest-running global sukuk funds of its kind, the Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of Shariah-compliant assets, comprising primarily investment-grade sovereign, government-related and corporate sukuk, without reference to any specific benchmark. The Fund is dynamically managed and targets both income and capital appreciation, with a monthly distribution of dividends, and has navigated multiple market cycles within a risk-managed framework.
The awards come at a period of heightened volatility for global fixed income. Fitch Ratings has noted that the sukuk market’s recovery in 2026 hinges on sustained regional stability, with issuance expected to remain below 2025 levels amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.¹ Against this backdrop, an independent award recognising consistent, risk-adjusted performance over a full decade underscores the value of an actively managed, disciplined approach through changing market cycles.
“We’re proud to see the Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund recognised among the best over ten years. In a market that continues to test investors, an independent award for consistent, risk-adjusted performance over a full decade speaks to the strength of our active management and the trust our investors place in us. It reflects the disciplined, long-term approach that defines how we manage capital at Rasmala,” said Eric Swats, Senior Executive Officer, Rasmala Investment Bank Limited.

Dubai, UAE, August 1st, 2026, FinanceWire
Fintech Pioneer Fuses Blockchain and Dedicated Content Delivery Network to Replace Broken 48-Hour Legacy Banking Rails with Instant, Ultra-Low-Fee Transactions
TaqFlow, a next-generation cross-border payment platform engineered specifically for Central Asian corridors, announced its official emergence from stealth mode and the public launch of pre-orders for its high-speed financial network. The platform solves the region’s most critical commercial pain points: slow settlement times, high transaction fees, and crippling currency volatility.
Unlike traditional financial institutions, the team behind TaqFlow is comprised entirely of digital nomads who have spent years traveling, living, and operating businesses across different countries. Having managed international operations on the move, the founders intimately understand the severe friction, predatory fees, and operational bottlenecks tied to cross-border capital movement.
“The spark for TaqFlow happened on a beach in Bali, of all places,” said co-founder Giorgi Beridze. “I was speaking with one of my eventual co-founders, who was venting about the sheer frustration of moving money between Georgia and Kazakhstan. The transaction took over two days to clear. In that short window, currency fluctuations ate away at the capital, costing him the equivalent of several hundred euros. It was a lightbulb moment for both of us. As nomads, we knew this pain intimately. We realized that the existing cross-border rails in Central Asia were fundamentally broken—exposed to systemic delays, unpredictable volatility, and unnecessary costs.”
TaqFlow eliminates these systemic bottlenecks by introducing a proprietary, dual-layer architecture built entirely from scratch. The platform is harnessing the innate speed and cryptographic security of the blockchain, layering it beneath a custom-built, dedicated content delivery network (CDN). This physical infrastructure will bypass standard public internet latency, allowing TaqFlow to route, read, and settle B2B transactions in mere seconds at a fraction of standard banking fees.
The rapid velocity of the platform removes the financial limbo that historically stifled trade along the historic Silk Road corridors, which inspired the company’s name. A “Taq” was the historic domed archway where ancient global merchants gathered to exchange currency; TaqFlow has modernized this concept into a digital gateway.
“As a young startup, our greatest asset is that we aren’t saddled by legacy systems or yesterday’s way of thinking,” a co-founder continued. “Traditional institutions are trapped inside layers of obsolete technical debt. This blank slate allows us to build cleaner, operate with zero friction, and pass those massive cost savings directly to our customers. We are already looking at how we can incorporate AI natively into our infrastructure to push processing speeds even higher and completely transform the cross-border customer experience.”
The launch arrives at a pivotal moment. Institutional investors from Europe, the Americas, and the Gulf region are increasingly turning their attention toward Central Asia’s rapidly growing economic landscape. TaqFlow aims to act as the primary financial bedrock that enables this influx of global capital to reach local markets seamlessly.
“The Central Asian economy has been overlooked for far too long,” co-founder Logan Jenkins noted. “When we look back five years from now, our greatest legacy won’t just be the volume of capital we processed; it will be the community of small businesses and startups we lifted up. We want to be the foundation that helps young enterprises get off the ground, seamlessly scale across borders, protect their hard-earned margins, and grow at velocities they never thought possible.”
TaqFlow is now accepting pre-orders from businesses and corporate partners across authorized Central Asian corridors. Enterprises looking to optimize their cross-border liquidity and eliminate transaction delays can learn more or request platform access by visiting TaqFlow’s launch page.
About TaqFlow
TaqFlow is a modern cross-border payment platform dedicated to unlocking the economic potential of Central Asia. Founded by a team of global digital nomads and fintech innovators, TaqFlow bridges ancient regional trading heritage with modern decentralized technology. By fusing blockchain tech with an ultra-low-latency dedicated network, the platform provides businesses with a fast, secure, and highly automated digital gateway to move capital across borders seamlessly, stripping out the delays and predatory fees of legacy banking rails.
