By Gerelyn Terzo, Benzinga

Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR), a Bitcoin mining and AI cloud solutions company led by industry pioneer Jihan Wu, has received a potentially game-changing capital injection from one of the blockchain industrys earliest stablecoin projects.

Tether International Limited, a stablecoin backed by fiat currencies including the dollar, has purchased a $100 million position in Bitdeer. (Stablecoins are digital assets that are pegged or tied to more stable instruments, like the U.S. dollar, making them less volatile and more attractive for use cases like payments.)

The financing, which took the form of a private placement that closed in May, comprises 18,587,360 of Bitdeers Class A ordinary shares and a warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 more at $10.00 per share. Cantor Fitzgerald served as the placement agent for the deal. In addition to the $100 million Bitdeer already received from the share issuance, the company could potentially see another $50 million if the warrant, which is exercisable at Tethers discretion for 12 months, is fully exercised.

While Tethers percentage equity stake in Bitdeer remains unclear, investors cheered the development, sending BTDR shares nearly 7% higher in response. Bitdeer Chief Business Officer Linghui Kong welcomed Tether as a significant investor in the company, saying:

This substantial investment demonstrates confidence in our vision and the strength of our extensive global operations. With Tether's support, we are poised to accelerate our growth and continue our leadership in sustainable and efficient Bitcoin mining.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino expressed his delight to be partnering with Bitdeer, as it catapults his company closer to its Bitcoin mining aspirations. Tether has reportedly earmarked $500 million in preparation for its own Bitcoin mining operations, having broken ground on the development of facilities in Uruguay, Paraguay and El Salvador.

We regard Bitdeer as one of the strongest vertically integrated operators in the Bitcoin mining industry, differentiated by its cutting-edge technologies, and a robust R&D organization, he said.

Bitdeer plans to direct the proceeds from the capital injection, which closed on May 30, toward powering its aggressive data center expansion and advancing the development of its ASIC-based Bitcoin mining rigsin a post-Bitcoin-halving environment, which might typically ushers in a bull market for Bitcoin.

ASICs or application-specific integrated circuits are chips that are specifically made for Bitcoin mining as opposed to CPUs and GPUs, whose design is more general in nature. Bitdeers Wu has been instrumental in ASIC miner innovation, leading to higher performance and greater efficiency in the Bitcoin mining process.

Bitdeer Strategically Positioning Itself For Next Bitcoin Mining Wave

Bitcoin mining is the process by which the Bitcoin blockchain is secured and new bitcoins are created. The process mimics that of physically mining for resources like gold from the ground, explaining how it earned its name. With the Bitcoin price hovering near $70,000, the next wave of Bitcoin mining is starting to ramp up as obsolete and inefficient equipment is replaced with the latest technology.

As one of the biggest publicly traded Bitcoin miners on the planet, Bitdeer boasts six Bitcoin mining facilities globally, including U.S. facilities in the states of Washington, Tennessee and Texas. Bitdeer was on track to begin construction of its 221MW data center in Ohio in April. The company is also in the midst of a 175MW expansion at its Tydal, Norway, immersion cooling data center, the construction of which is expected to be completed by mid-2025. Additionally, Bitdeer is expanding its operations in Bhutan, where its focused on the development of greenfield operations, including carbon-free digital asset mining.

Considering the massive amounts of computing power involved in mining Bitcoin, Bitdeer is dedicated to renewable, carbon-free and stable energy sources setting an example for other mining companies to emulate.

The financing from Tether marks the beginning of what the management teams expect will become a close collaboration across multiple key infrastructure areas for the foreseeable future. Investors who are bullish on the future of sustainable Bitcoin mining might want to keep an eye on the leaders in this industry.

WHY VANESSA HUDGENS CHOSE AMAZON’S EKOUAER OVER LUXURY LABELS — AND WHAT IT REVEALS ABOUT FASHION’S NEW ERA

Published

on

New York, US / Timesnewswire / October 2, 2026 – For decades, A-list celebrity endorsements followed a predictable blueprint: high fashion, multi-million-dollar haute couture deals, and unattainable luxury. But this fall, Hollywood star Vanessa Hudgens is continuing her game-changing fashion narrative with Amazon’s sleepwear and loungewear giant, EKOUAER.

First announced as an official EKOUAER Brand Friend earlier this July, Hudgens’ collaboration with the brand hits a major crescendo this October as EKOUAER celebrates its 11th Anniversary. Rather than aligned with exclusive runaway brands, Hudgens has embraced the ultimate daily wardrobe staple used by millions of everyday women across America.

“Becoming a mom has definitely made me appreciate versatility even more,” says Vanessa Hudgens. “I want pieces that are comfortable and easy for everyday life, but that I can dress up and still feel really good in.”

As EKOUAER marks its 11-year milestone, the timing coincides with October’s major Amazon shopping moment, proving that “everyday comfort” is officially beating traditional luxury status symbols. The star’s fall favorites spotlight pieces engineered for multi-scenario living, including the viral Ekouaer Satin Pajamas Set with Bow Tie Front and and the versatile, ultra-cozy Ekouaer 2-Piece Pleated Lounge & Sweater Set. “For me, it’s about finding that sweet spot where you feel comfortable but still put together,” Hudgens adds. “I love being able to take the same piece and completely change the feeling of it depending on how I style it.”

As EKOUAER kicks off its 11th Anniversary celebrations, the alliance redefines modern celebrity style: luxury isn’t about the price tag—it’s about effortless comfort.

From One Store to 400 Daily Orders: 70-Year-Old Lalit Kumar Takes Natural Spices Online Across UAE

Published

on

The Indian-born businessman has lived and worked in the UAE since 1983. Now 70, he has taken a single grocery store online, and it handles around 400 orders a day.

Dubai, Al Nahda 1, United Arab Emirates, 2nd Oct 2026 – When shipments were getting stuck and many small shops decided to sit tight, Lalit Kumar did the opposite. At 70, the owner of Natural Spices and Foodstuff Trading LLC moved his grocery business online. Today it delivers to customers in every emirate.

He started with one retail outlet and five staff. The business now handles about 400 orders a day through its own website, NaturalSpicesUAE.com, and through the UAE’s major online marketplaces. It sells spices, herbs, Indian groceries, snacks, dry fruits and other daily essentials.

Forty Years in the UAE

Mr. Kumar came to the UAE from India in 1983. Since then he has run businesses in electronics, transport, and oil and gas, and now in foodstuff. He says each one prepared him for the next. Electronics taught him how customers think. Transport taught him about timing. Oil and gas taught him patience.

“I came here as a young man and this country gave me a chance. It gave my family a home. I have never taken that for granted, and everything I build here is my way of saying thank you.”
— Lalit Kumar, Owner, Natural Spices and Foodstuff Trading LLC

Moving When Others Waited

The shift online came at a hard time for retail. Deliveries were running late, costs were going up and fewer people were walking into shops. Mr. Kumar decided not to wait it out.

With his team of five, he set up online ordering, reorganised the stock and worked out packing and delivery, all from the same store they were already running. The website went live, the products went onto the marketplaces, and orders started coming in from across the country.

“I have seen this market go up and down many times since 1983. If you stop every time things get difficult, you will never move. At my age people expect me to slow down. I would rather see what comes next.”
— Lalit Kumar

Still in the Store Every Day

Orders now go out to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Customers say they come back for the range, the fair prices and delivery they can count on.

Growth hasn’t pulled Mr. Kumar away from the business. He is in the store every day. He talks to customers himself, bargains with suppliers and makes the big decisions. His staff say he has more energy than most of them, and he still knows many of his regulars by name.

“A customer is a person, not an order number. Whether they walk into the shop or order from Fujairah, they should get the same respect and the same fair price. That is how I have always worked. A website doesn’t change that.”
— Lalit Kumar

Looking Ahead

Over the coming months, the company plans to add more products, grow its marketplace presence and improve delivery across the UAE.

“I have been building businesses in this country for more than forty years, and I still feel like I’m starting out. As long as I have the energy, I’ll keep going, for my customers, my team and for the UAE.”
— Lalit Kumar

Memito Opens Token Sale on Ethereum With Formula-Based Pricing and Multi-Network Payments

Published

on

Memito, a community meme token on Ethereum, has opened a token sale on memito.org. The price is calculated by a formula in the verified smart contract, and the sale accepts five assets on Ethereum, a bridge from five networks and a wide range of wallets.

Canada, 2nd Oct 2026 – Memito (MEMITO), a community meme token on Ethereum, has opened its public token sale at memito.org, making participation available worldwide in 24 languages, with five payment assets, a built-in bridge from five networks and support for seven popular wallets. The sale is run directly by the token’s smart contract, which is published and verified on Etherscan.

Formula-based pricing set in the contract

Instead of fixed sale rounds, the token price is calculated by a formula written into the smart contract. The formula starts at 0.00000018585 USD per token and adjusts the price according to the total amount raised in the sale. Before confirming a transaction, each participant is shown the calculated quote for the selected amount. Tokens are transferred to the participant’s wallet within the same on-chain transaction, so there is no separate claim step. Trading of the token has not opened, and no date has been set.

Payment options across networks

The sale accepts ETH, USDT, USDC, DAI and WBTC on Ethereum, with individual transactions from about 1 USD to 10,000 USD. For users whose funds are held on BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon or Optimism, the website integrates the third-party LI.FI bridge, which can move funds to ETH on Ethereum and shows the route fees before signing. The website is available in 24 languages.

The sale page supports MetaMask, Trust Wallet, OKX Wallet, Bitget Wallet, Binance Wallet and Bybit Wallet (via WalletConnect), as well as other WalletConnect-compatible wallets, on desktop and mobile devices.

“Memito started as a meme, but we are building it as a community first,” the Memito team said. “We wanted anyone, from any network and in their own language, to be able to join from day one, with the rules of the sale written openly into the contract. The community on X and Telegram is where we share every next step.”

Token details

The token contract address is 0xe02AD79732658a2ec2C85Ecd15De5E08A311373C. Maximum supply is 420,690,000,000,000 MEMITO. When trading opens, the final supply is allocated as follows: 60% to buyers, referrals and the liquidity pool, 10% to a reserve, 15% to the founder share held in the project’s Ecosystem Wallet and 15% to the treasury. The deploying wallet received no tokens at launch.
