Cross-Chain Money Market Governance Token, HARD, to be Co-Listed on BitMax.io

Published

on

BitMax.io (BTMX.com), an industry-leading digital asset trading platform built by Wall Street quant trading veterans, has announced the primary co-listing of HARD Protocol’s HARD token (HARD) under the trading pair of HARD/USDT on November 6th at 10:00 a.m. EST.

HARD Protocol (previously Harvest.io) is a cross-chain money market that enables users to lend, borrow, and earn with their digital assets. HARD, the native governance token for the protocol, launched with the mainnet upgrade that took place on October 15th, 2020. The token can be used as collateral in the HARD Protocol supply and borrowing markets, as well as for voting on the management and evolution of the platform.

In contrast to other money markets, HARD opens DeFi to the larger cryptocurrency market, taking token holders beyond ETH access products like lending and borrowing. As an application built on multi-asset DeFi platform Kava, HARD is set to capitalize on the Kava-4 Mainnet upgrade which will introduce support for BTC, BUSD, XRP, and other digital assets. New digital assets will be also supported within the HARD Protocol money market alongside Kava native assets like KAVA, HARD, and USDX.

The HARD Protocol money market is the first project of its kind launched on the Kava blockchain. Kava gives the platform access to cross-chain assets, Chainlink oracles, and other key infrastructure. To support platform security and stability within this relatively new design paradigm, compared to Ethereum, HARD code is being audited by CERTIK, peer reviewed, and tested prior to listing.

“The primary co-listing of HARD on BitMax.io will be beneficial for both BitMax.io users and users of the Kava DeFi ecosystem,” said Shane Molidor, Global Head of Business Development at BitMax.io, “HARD offers investors a cross-blockchain money market to lend and borrow assets in a new way. This listing collaboration gives BitMax.io users exposure to HARD Protocol through the HARD token, and at the same time, allows HARD users to further invest in the platform’s governance.”

Launched in August 2018, BitMax.io is a leading digital asset trading platform with a broad range of financial products and services for both retail and institutional clients, with robust design ranging from innovative volatility products to margin trading, derivatives trading, staking products, and other investment solutions.

Golec Music Studio Named 2026 IABE Regional Excellence Award Winner

Published

on

Golec Music Studio, founded and led by Dr. Beata Golec in Victor, NY, has been named a 2026 IABE Regional Excellence Award winner — a distinction earned by fewer than 1% of businesses evaluated, placing the studio among the top organizations across all of New York.

Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States, 22nd Jul 2026 — Golec Music Studio, founded and led by Dr. Beata Golec, has been named a 2026 Regional Excellence Award winner by the International Association for Business Excellence (IABE) — one of IABE’s highest honors, earned by fewer than 1% of businesses evaluated. This recognition places Golec Music Studio among the top organizations across the entire state of New York.

IABE evaluates every applicant against five rigorous, published criteria — Digital Presence, Customer Reputation, Operational Standing, Industry Tenure, and Professional Integrity — and only 1 in 1,000 organizations meet the bar required for regional-level recognition. Golec Music Studio met every one of those standards, demonstrating a depth of reputation, consistency, and impact that placed Dr. Golec’s studio among an elite circle of regionally distinguished organizations spanning every industry throughout New York.

“This recognition means a great deal, both personally and for the studio,” said Dr. Beata Golec. “Music education is built on trust — parents and students are placing years of their growth in your hands. To be independently evaluated and named among such a select group of organizations across New York is an extraordinary honor, and one that reflects everything this studio has worked to build.”

Founded in Victor, New York, Golec Music Studio offers piano, voice, music theory, and composition instruction alongside Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exam preparation — areas where Dr. Golec brings unique authority as a member of both boards of examiners. The studio also supports students through college audition preparation, music theater and production auditions, and competition readiness, while hosting biannual Young Musicians’ Concerts that have become fundraising cornerstones for local food pantry and music ministry programs in the Rochester area.

Dr. Golec’s own career reflects the same standard of excellence this award recognizes. A Polish-born pianist, composer, and theorist, she has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Eastman Theater, and internationally across Poland, Austria, Spain, and the Czech Republic. Her recent honors include the 2026 Trusted Business Award, the BBB Torch Award for Ethics, and recognition as the honoree of the Ontario County ATHENA Leadership Awards — alongside feature coverage in Enterprise World Magazine, Rochester Woman Magazine, and Bold Journey Magazine.

This Regional Excellence Award adds to that growing list of recognitions — but stands apart as an independent, third-party confirmation that Golec Music Studio operates at a level few organizations across New York ever reach.

STARTRADER Introduces 24/7 US Stock CFDs Across NVIDIA, Apple, Meta, and Leading Global Equities

Published

on

Dubai, UAE, July 22nd, 2026, FinanceWire

STARTRADER today launches 42 new 24/5 US Stock CFDs and announces the introduction of 43 new 24/7 US Stock CFDs from 27 July 2026, expanding its offering to 85 new instruments.

STARTRADER today announced the launch of 42 new 24/5 US Stock CFDs and confirmed 43 new 24/7 US Stock CFDs from 27 July 2026, giving clients direct access to 85 widely traded names.

The 24/5 range spans technology, energy, healthcare, finance, and industrials, covering Boeing, SpaceX, Mastercard, and Palo Alto Networks across themes including defence modernisation, cybersecurity, and aerospace innovation.

From 27 July 2026, the 24/7 stock CFD range addresses one of the most persistent constraints in equity trading: exchange schedules. Available from Monday through Sunday, 00:00–24:00 (GMT+3 platform time), it covers CFDs on AI and semiconductor leaders NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, and AMD; platform economy giants Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, and Palantir; financial anchors JPMorgan and Visa; and emerging-sector names including Tesla, Circle Internet Group, and AST SpaceMobile.

As market-moving events increasingly occur outside traditional trading hours, the ability to respond without restriction has become one of the most meaningful advantages a broker can offer. STARTRADER’s commitment is structural: a product architecture built around the pace at which the world moves and the needs of clients across every time zone.

“Our clients follow markets across time zones, make decisions over weekends, and receive news at midnight. This launch is built around that reality, giving every client equal access, wherever they are and at any hour.” Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER

With a growing global client base and a clear direction toward broader, deeper market access, STARTRADER is actively building the next phase of its product offering, one where the barriers between clients and the markets they want to trade continue to narrow.

Trading CFDs involves a significant risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors. Please ensure you fully understand the risks before trading.
