Building a machine network based on blockchain to create a new IoT era
Mankind is entering the era of “connection of all things”
Recently, the Ministry of industry and information technology released the key industries and application scenarios of “5G + industrial Internet”, marking that China’s 5G application has shifted from exploration to promotion. 5G has three characteristics: high speed, low delay and wide connection, which will promote the consumer Internet forward to the industrial Internet, and finally build an intelligent world of “everything connected”.
The essence of industrial Internet is to use information technology to closely connect the equipment, production lines, factories, suppliers, products and customers in the industrial manufacturing industry, which is across the equipment, system, and region, so as to improve efficiency and promote the intellectualization of the whole manufacturing service system. The 5G application scenarios released recently, such as collaborative operation and flexible manufacturing, indicating the importance of industrial Internet to achieve broader and deeper social cooperation. It is through this large-scale cooperation that human civilization makes progress continuously.
Large-scale social cooperation could be divided into two patterns: the first is centralized, with hierarchical “command-feedback” chain and mutual principal-agent relationship as the core characteristics. The typical representatives are government, bureaucratic organizations and military units; the second type is decentralized, represented by market mechanism. There is no central planning or unified coordination. The participants of the mechanism, based on cost-benefit calculation, promote the overall interests through automatic division of labor and exchange. On the social level, the efficiency of decentralized market mechanism is higher than that of centralized command mechanism. In the future mass machine equipment connection (mMTC) network, a decentralized and value exchange based large-scale collaboration among machines can be realized by introducing market mechanism. Therefore, the industrial Internet in the digital era is not only the Internet of factory manufacturing, but also a distributed network and governance structure. All enterprises can safely join this network to realize manufacturing services, integrated innovation and value sharing.
Sharing mechanism in large scale machine cooperation
Although large-scale collaboration between machines has great value potentially, it still faces problems such as privacy protection, trust between agents and higher demand of computing power of large-scale collaboration.
Therefore, the solution design of the industry is to adopt the pattern of “machine network + blockchain”. The role of Cloud in traditional industrial Internet, such as using the smart contract based on the blockchain to realize the value measurement, distribution and settlement of large-scale cooperation. Finally, it would make the large-scale cooperation of cross-border and public affairs more credible and efficient.
1) Effective data confirmation
The reason why blockchain has become the key to the future industrial Internet is that it integrates technologies such as cryptography, peer-to-peer network, consensus mechanism, and forms a new way of data recording, transmission, storage and presentation, so as to construct a decentralized pattern, which can effectively confirm the data rights. In the industrial Internet, the integration of blockchain technology can solve the problem of mutual trust and cooperation among multiple players, as well as the problem of industrial enterprises’ control over their own data.
2) Reducing the transaction cost of multilateral platform
With the development of global market and the subdivision of supply chain, the participation cost of complex business activities is no longer “bilateral”, but “multilateral”, and the establishment of trust relationship is more and more expensive. Blockchain technology can build a peer-to-peer and unified platform for business activities. At the same time, it can significantly reduce one of the trust costs in transaction costs to be commercially feasible. Participants in business activities will move from traditional “bilateral platform” to “multilateral platform”. While scale effect is formed, the trust cost will not increase too much.Finally, it will be superimposed into an ecological effect, forming a viable business model.
3) To solve the problem of Isolated Data Island by privacy computing
Although blockchain can play a significant role in solving trust, cooperation and other problems in industrial Internet, it still has some defects in data value mining and privacy protection. Therefore, blockchain also needs to combine with privacy computing. Privacy computing can not only realize data sharing under privacy protection, ensure the authorization of privavy data, but also prevent malicious eavesdroppers or others from accessing the original data or data calculation results. In the industrial Internet, the core data is still kept in the enterprise. Under the premise of meeting the needs of data privacy security, privacy computing enables enterprises to use massive industrial data more efficiently and accurately, solving the problem of Isolated Data Island. Furtherly, it enhance the value of data in the process of sovereign ownership and rights sharing, and realize the two-way empowerment of various enterprises.
PlatON helps intelligent interconnection of Machine Networks
PlatON is a privacy computing network based on cryptography algorithm. As a global leader in blockchain industry, it can effectively solve the problems about Big Data managemen in the industrial Internet by its existing technical advantages, and provide a safer infrastructure based on privacy protection and edge computing capability. Firstly, PlatOn’s powerful encryption algorithm technology can provide trusted device authentication, multi-channel data transmission and data storage services for industrial Internet, and enhance the security of device system; Secondly, PlatOn’s new computing architecture can make full use of the computing resources of adjacent nodes, provide strong computing support for the industrial Internet, and comprehensively improve the timeliness of services. Finally, PlatOn’s privacy protection and multi-party secure computing (MPC) technology can support collaborative analysis of massive data and integration of diverse scenarios
On April 30, 2021, the PlatON privacy AI computing network obtained the community license with 80.6% support rate, and the current pre-deployment network has officially become the main network. PlatON will gradually establish a multi-agent collaboration and computing network for the future, and promote industrial civilization and human society from “interconnection of all things” to “intelligent connection of all things”.

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.

Press Release
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.
