Apron has also continued technical improvements launching one of its POC version services for Heco testnet developers. The rest of the infrastructure service will be gradually launched within Q1 2021. 

Apron is also working within the roadmap, with the testnet expected to launch as scheduled in Q2 2021 (April). Once launched, all the essential utilities will be made available for developers to build interoperable applications within the Ethereum and Polkadot ecosystem for free. 

Apron will continue to develop new products and release its Apron Beta Network in Q3. These developments will culminate in the launch of the Apron mainnet in Q4, encompassing the network’s full utilities to operate correctly. Following the launch of the mainnet, Apron will continue to provide technical support towards building seamless infrastructure services on other public chains and continuous improvement of its network. 

To create a holistic approach within its ecosystem, Apron will be exploring partnerships, community activity, and brand awareness. As part of this activity, Apron will host a series of campaigns and events to engage with members, facilitating interactions and participation among our users and interested participants.

The World’s First Global Energy Drink Ranking Accidentally Revealed Something Much Bigger

What’s Actually in Your Energy Drink Depends on Where You Live

MONTREAL, QC – 21/05/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – A beverage expert spent six months collecting and assessing energy drinks from all six continents to create the world’s first objective global ranking of the category. But during the process, an unexpected discovery emerged: depending on the continent, energy drinks are fundamentally different products.

WORLDWIDE COLLECTION & ASSESSMENT

Pat Eckert, an internationally recognised German beverage professional and certified water sommelier, realised that nobody had ever created an objective global ranking of energy drinks. This was despite energy drinks being one of the world’s largest and most discussed beverage categories, while cars, phones, wines, films, and many other consumer sectors already have serious worldwide rankings.

So over roughly half a year, he and his team collected energy drinks from all six inhabited continents and assessed each one using the same professional 36-criteria framework, focused on measurable product quality, ingredients, transparency, and formulation standards. Top-performing products were submitted for laboratory testing and analytical verification. This became the Six Continents Index – built to be professional, rigorous, and objective.

The original goal was simple: to identify which brands objectively perform best worldwide.

However, during the assessment, another finding emerged almost accidentally: energy drinks are not really the same category across continents. Different regions follow very different product philosophies – from Europe’s strong focus on pasteurisation, to Asia’s preference for real sugar, to North America’s heavy reliance on artificial formulations, sweeteners and preservatives.

So the project ultimately became both the world’s first objective global energy drink ranking and a snapshot of how differently the category is formulated around the world.

The Shock FindingS

  • Europe goes natural. South America goes artificial.
    85.7% of European energy drinks were pasteurised, compared with 12% in North America and under 1% in South America.
  • Asia still uses real sugar. North America barely does.
    In Asia, 78.9% of energy drinks used real sugar. In North America: just 8%. They are effectively drinking a different product.
  • North America runs on sweeteners. The rest of the world mostly does not.
    84% of North American energy drinks relied entirely on artificial sweeteners. In Europe: just 4.2%. In Asia, Australia, South America, and Africa: almost none.
  • Australia vitaminizes. North America simplifies.
    Australian drinks averaged 4.2 vitamins per product, compared with just 2.9 in North America.
  • Aspartame is still used worldwide, especially in Africa
    Aspartame (classified by WHO/IARC as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B)), was used in 10.5% of products worldwide, with 43% of those aspartame-containing products found in Africa.
  • BPA-free labelling was almost invisible worldwide.
    Only 1.4% of the global sample clearly carried BPA-free labelling.
  • North America – the world’s largest energy drink market by revenue – ranked last overall among the six continents.

Europe pasteurises. North America sweetens artificially. Asia uses real sugar. Australia vitaminizes. Same category, completely different product philosophies.

GLOBAL BRAND NOTES

Among the many brands assessed across six continents, two stood out for reasons beyond the ranking. Red Bull was the only energy drink brand found in virtually every market assessed worldwide, while Japan’s Lipovitan-D was the oldest brand in the study, having been on the market since 1962.

HIGHEST-SCORING PRODUCTS

At the continental level, Europe achieved the highest overall score in the index. Australia & Oceania ranked second, followed by Asia in third place.

At brand level, HELL Energy from Hungary achieved the highest overall score for objective product quality in the index. Second place went to 28 BLACK from Germany, followed by TAKE OFF, also from Germany.

FULL FINDINGS

Further findings, methodology, and background information are available on request at www.sixcontinentsindex.com

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Six Continents Index was led by Pat Eckert and his team. Eckert is a German certified water sommelier and independent beverage expert whose previous work has been featured by The Guardian, ABC News, The Telegraph, L’Express, Der Spiegel, and the BBC.

Assessed brands were not notified in advance, did not apply, and had no involvement in the evaluation. No paid participation, sponsorship, or commercial influence played any role.

Techysquad Introduces Unified Forex CRM & Client Onboarding Platform for Modern Brokerages

Published

May 21, 2026

By

A single platform combining Forex CRM, automated client onboarding, and full brokerage workflow management — built for brokers who demand speed, compliance, and scale.

Dubai, UAE, May 21st, 2026 — Techysquad, a specialist provider of financial technology solutions, providing a unified Forex CRM platform — an integrated system combining client relationship management, client onboarding software, and brokerage automation under one roof. The platform is purpose-built for Forex brokers, prop trading firms, and financial services operators seeking to streamline operations, reduce onboarding friction, and accelerate client growth.

What Problem Does It Solve?

For years, brokerages have juggled disconnected tools — a standalone CRM here, a KYC portal there, manual onboarding workflows patched together with spreadsheets. The result is slow client activation, compliance risk, and lost revenue. Techysquad’s brokerage CRM eliminates this fragmentation entirely.

The platform delivers a complete, connected workflow: leads enter the system, move through automated KYC and document verification, get assigned to account managers, and are activated — all within a single interface. There is no data migration, no switching between platforms, and no manual handoffs.

Platform Highlights

The Techysquad Forex CRM platform is built around three core pillars. First, a full-featured brokerage CRM that tracks every client interaction, manages IB (Introducing Broker) relationships, and provides real-time pipeline visibility across sales and retention teams. Second, an end-to-end client onboarding software module that automates document collection, identity verification, account approval, and welcome communications — reducing activation time from days to minutes. Third, a brokerage automation engine that handles routine tasks including deposit and withdrawal processing, compliance alerts, reporting, and multi-level IB commission calculations without manual intervention.

Why This Matters For The Forex Industry

The global retail Forex market continues to expand, with new brokers launching across emerging markets and existing firms under pressure to improve client experience while containing operational costs. The best Forex CRM is one that doesn’t just store contacts — it drives revenue by shortening the journey from lead to funded account. Techysquad has engineered its platform with that outcome as the primary design principle.

“Brokers don’t have time to manage software — they need software that manages itself. That’s exactly what we built.”

Availability

The Techysquad Forex CRM platform is available globally with immediate access for new clients. Brokerages can request a demo or begin onboarding at techysquad.com. The team offers white-glove implementation support, custom integrations with leading MT4/MT5 trading platforms, and dedicated account management from day one.

About Techysquad

Techysquad is a financial technology company specialising in Forex CRM, client onboarding software, and brokerage automation solutions. The company serves retail and institutional brokers globally, providing technology that powers the full client lifecycle from acquisition through retention.
