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.

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.

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.

Press Release
TradersYard Shifts Focus to Futures Trading
Vienna, Austria, September 21st, 2026, FinanceWire
TradersYard today announced that it is making futures trading challenges its primary strategic focus, following strong growth in its futures business over recent months and the funding round announced in July 2026.
The funding round, led by Andromeda Capital Partners Suisse AG, is supporting TradersYard’s next phase of growth, including the expansion of its futures offering and the development of its proprietary technology for B2B clients.
TradersYard is also among the first proprietary trading firms to hold its own CME data distribution license, giving the company greater control over its trading infrastructure and creating new opportunities as it expands its futures offering.
“This is an exciting next step for TradersYard. The rapid growth of our futures challenges has confirmed both the strength of this market and the demand from our community. By focusing our energy, technology and resources on futures, we can accelerate innovation and create an even better experience for traders.” – Manuel Sonnleithner, CEO of TradersYard
As part of this strategic shift, TradersYard will discontinue its FX/CFD challenges after 30 September 2026. The decision reflects the significant momentum the company has experienced in futures and its commitment to concentrating resources where it sees the greatest opportunity for growth and innovation.
At the same time, TradersYard is expanding beyond its direct-to-trader business. Having developed its entire proprietary trading technology stack in-house, the company is preparing its software platform for its first B2B clients, which are currently being onboarded.
The increased focus on futures also aligns TradersYard with Andromeda Capital Partners’ broader investments in capital markets and trading technology. Andromeda is also an investor in MetroTrade, a fast-growing US-based futures broker providing access to exchange-traded futures and options on futures.
“We see significant opportunities emerging around futures trading globally. Through our investments in TradersYard and MetroTrade, we are approaching the market from different angles – from proprietary trading technology and trader development to regulated brokerage and access to exchange-traded markets. These are independent businesses, but they reflect our broader conviction that there is significant room for innovation in the futures industry. We are excited to support Manuel and the TradersYard team through this next phase of growth.” – Ingmar Mattus, Andromeda Capital Partners Suisse AG
A New Chapter, With the Door Open to Future Innovation
While futures will be the primary focus for the next phase of TradersYard’s growth, the company will continue exploring new technologies, products and trading models across the proprietary trading industry.
Building its technology entirely in-house gives TradersYard the flexibility to innovate quickly, develop new products and push the boundaries of what a modern prop trading platform can offer both traders and B2B partners.
“Innovation has always been central to TradersYard. Our immediate focus is futures, but we will continue looking for new ways to improve the prop trading experience and develop technology that moves the industry forward.” – Sagar Mule, Head of Product
With a growing futures community, fresh funding, proprietary technology and its own CME data distribution capabilities, TradersYard is entering its next stage of growth with a clear focus: building one of the most innovative and technology-driven futures trading platforms in the industry.

From Korean Chipmakers to Leveraged Semiconductor ETFs: STARTRADER Launches 49 New 24/7 Stock and ETF CFDs
Port Louis, Mauritius, September 21st, 2026, FinanceWire
Available from September 18, 2026, the expansion adds 30 US stocks, 14 ETFs, and five USD-quoted foreign shares, tradable Monday to Sunday, with trading available beyond the regular hours of the relevant underlying exchanges, subject to the applicable trading schedule and terms.
STARTRADER has added 49 new 24/7 Stock and ETF CFDs across its MT5 servers, accessible Monday to Sunday from 00:00 to 24:00 (GMT+3 platform time), subject to scheduled maintenance windows. The expansion covers 30 US stocks, 14 ETFs and five USD-quoted foreign shares listed in mainland China, Hong Kong and South Korea, extending continuous access to Asian semiconductor and consumer names whose most significant news has historically landed while the exchanges quoting them were closed.
The US additions include SK Hynix (SKHYUSD) and Super Micro Computer (SMCIUSD), both tied closely to AI memory and server demand. Eleven of the 14 ETFs are single-stock or sector leveraged products, including the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF (SOXLUSD) and Direxion Daily Micron Bull 2X Shares (MUUUSD).
The five foreign shares reach markets that are harder for international clients to access directly: GigaDevice from the China A-share market, Pop Mart and Tencent from Hong Kong, and Samsung Electronics (SAMSUNGUSD) and Hyundai from South Korea. The Samsung line is quoted as the Korea-listed share rather than a depositary receipt.
Because these instruments are quoted in USD while the underlying shares are listed in other currencies, movements in the relevant exchange rate will affect the position in addition to movements in the share price. Chinese A-shares are also subject to daily price limits. Where the underlying reaches its applicable price limit or is suspended, pricing and execution on the corresponding CFD may be affected.
The additions reflect where market interest has concentrated through 2026. AI memory and server demand have pulled Korean supply-chain names into the same conversation as US megacaps, while leveraged single-stock and sector ETFs have become a common instrument for expressing short-horizon views on semiconductors. Both trends make continuous pricing more relevant to how these names are actually traded.
“We do not add symbols to look comprehensive. The test is whether a client would otherwise be left holding a view they have no way to act on, and across these 49, that test was easy to answer.” Peter Karsten, CEO, STARTRADER
The launch extends STARTRADER’s 24/7 range further into Asian equity markets, following earlier expansions into Hong Kong-listed AI companies and global index ETFs. Further additions will be assessed as market interest shifts across regions and sectors.
