From 0 to R2 — Why We Built the Future of Yield

Dubai, UAE, 24th April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, A Message from the Founding Team

Quick Highlights:

  • 60,000+ unique addresses joined our testnet in just a few days

  • R2 currently powers over 50% of Sepolia’s transaction volume

  • Discord community has surpassed 58,000 members

  • Twitter followers have grown to over 45,000

We’re thrilled by the momentum and humbled by the support. These numbers are just the beginning.

Dear R2 Community,

Last Thursday marked a major milestone for us: R2 Protocol is now officially live on testnet.

For many, this might feel like just another product launch. But for our team, it means much more. It’s the first public step toward a vision we’ve been quietly building for months: a yield-powered stablecoin ecosystem that works, transparently, sustainably, and with real-world impact.

Why We Started

When we first started R2, we weren’t chasing hype. In fact, it would’ve been much easier to do something trendy, fast, and forgettable.

But we believed in something harder, that stablecoins could evolve, from passive dollar substitutes to real, yield-bearing financial infrastructure that works for both retail and institutions.

Back then, we didn’t know the exact shape it would take. We spent weeks debating mechanisms, rebuilding models, rejecting ideas we liked, and watching the market shift. It wasn’t always clear. But one thing always was: we wanted to build something that could last.

What We’ve Learned

Over the past few months, we’ve had the chance to sit down with pioneers across the U.S., from Ondo Finance, Superstate, Franklin Templeton, Securitize, DigiFT, Fasanara, and Centrifuge, to L1/L2 teams like Plume, Pharos, Arbitrum, and others, and even custodians like Copper.

The message was clear: RWA is real, and it’s coming faster than most expect. Those conversations didn’t just validate what we were building, they helped sharpen it.

What Makes R2 Different

We chose a harder but clearer path: real-world backed yield only.

R2USD is backed by tokenized U.S. Treasuries, MMFs, and other real-world yield flows, sourced through institutional-grade partners.

We’re currently LPs with Ondo Finance and Supestate, and are onboarding with Securitize, Fasanara, Centrifuge, Franklin Templeton, and DigiFT, helping us scale exposure to high-quality, compliant yield.

What We’ve Built So Far

We started with R2USD, a redeemable, yield-generating stablecoin. Then came sR2USD for staking, and now, R2BTC and R2ETH vaults, crypto-native vaults for real on-chain yield. These aren’t isolated products. They’re modules in a growing system that’s designed to be composable, transparent, and scalable.

Who’s Building It?

We’re a team of 13 across 7 countries, averaging 4+ years in crypto. All of us have shipped real products, and learned real lessons, sometimes the hard way.

Why This Testnet Matters

This testnet is where we prove our design, not just our code.

We created a dual-point system — Signals for product interactions, Pulses for social and ecosystem engagement. It rewards not just clicks, but conviction.

And to our early contributors, users, and supporters: you’re already part of this system. Your conviction is counted, and it matters.

What Comes Next

We’re just getting started.

More chains, more partners, more ways to get involved — for users, investors, and LPs alike.

This isn’t just a product launch. It’s a new foundation for how value moves onchain.

Thanks for being early. Let’s build forward.

— R2 Team.

In celebration of Global Breast Cancer Awareness Month, global fashion brand Zeagoo has officially launched a key corporate social responsibility initiative: partnering with Dancing with the Stars professional dancer and television personality Sharna Burgess, and pledging to donate 15% of total sales from its flagship store throughout October to the non-profit organization Pink Fund, taking concrete action to support breast cancer patients.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: A Vital Global Health Issue

October is designated as Global Breast Cancer Awareness Month, aiming to raise public awareness about breast cancer prevention and early screening, promote scientific understanding of prevention and treatment, and offer more support to patients. As one of the leading diseases affecting women’s health, breast cancer prevention and treatment are not only crucial for individual well-being but also closely tied to the development of families and society. During this period, various activities are held worldwide to call for attention to women’s health and convey a message of care.

Zeagoo’s Corporate Responsibility: Giving Back to Society with Business Power

As a fashion brand that consistently focuses on women’s issues, Zeagoo has always integrated social responsibility into its brand development. The brand not only concentrates on providing high-quality products but also actively supports public welfare through practical actions. The donation campaign launched during Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a vivid manifestation of Zeagoo’s commitment to social responsibility. The brand firmly believes that business power should be one of the driving forces for social progress. By donating a portion of its revenue to professional public welfare organizations, it can create business value while transmitting social value.

Details of the Public Welfare Collaboration: Providing Practical Support for Patients

In this public welfare campaign, Zeagoo has made a clear commitment: throughout October, 15% of the total sales from its official flagship store will be donated to the non-profit organization Pink Fund, which has long been serving breast cancer patients by providing direct financial support for household bills. The funds raised will be directly used to support patients.

To further amplify the campaign’s message, Zeagoo has invited Dancing with the Stars professional dancer and television personality Sharna Burgess to serve as the “Zeagoo Breast Cancer Care Ambassador.” With her strong influence and authentic voice on social media, Sharna joins Zeagoo in raising awareness about the importance of breast cancer prevention, early detection, and community support.Speaking about the collaboration, Sharna Burgess shared: “Breast cancer affects so many women and families around the world, and it reminds us how powerful awareness, early detection, and community support can be. I’m proud to stand with a brand that not only creates comfort through clothing but also comfort through giving back — because caring for each other is always in style.”

A Joint Call: Working Together to Focus on Breast Cancer Prevention and Treatment

Through this public welfare collaboration, Zeagoo has demonstrated its commitment and warmth as a corporate citizen. The brand believes that business and public welfare are not mutually exclusive but can mutually reinforce and grow together. Launching this initiative during Breast Cancer Awareness Month is not only to provide financial support but also to inspire continuous social attention and action.

In the future, Zeagoo will continue to explore more public welfare paths related to women’s health and integrate social responsibility into every step of its brand development. The brand also calls on more enterprises and public figures to join this effort, contributing together to raising awareness about breast cancer prevention and treatment and supporting patient groups.

Every bit of attention conveys hope, and every action drives change. Zeagoo looks forward to working with consumers, partners, and all sectors of society to strive for a healthier, more equal, and warmer social environment.

Right after the conclusion of the autumn Prime Day sales event, the sports and leisure brand PINSPARK has sparked a buying frenzy among consumers with its products that seamlessly combine design aesthetics and practicality. From resort-style outfits to home leisure collections, and all the way to professional sports gear, PINSPARK has precisely catered to various autumn dressing scenarios with its diverse range of styles, earning personal recommendations from editors of authoritative fashion media outlets like InStyle and Cosmopolitan, and demonstrating its strong market appeal.

InStyle Recommendation: Lightweight Resort-Style Outfit

Renowned fashion magazine InStyle is well-known for its in-depth celebrity fashion analyses and practical dressing tips, always keeping a close eye on high-quality lifestyles and travel gear. In a recent article published by the magazine, Editor-in-Chief Christina Oehler took inspiration from singer Selena Gomez’s white bikini beach look and recommended PINSPARK’s matching sports outfit as an ideal travel ensemble.

Oehler wrote in the article, “I used to insist on wearing leggings and hoodies when flying. Were they comfortable? Absolutely. But ever since my sister gave me this matching sports outfit, I’ve become a die-hard ‘sports outfit enthusiast’. The fabric is light and breathable, so even when flying to warm places like Miami, I won’t be drenched in sweat when I get off the plane.” With its excellent breathability and tailoring, this outfit has become a top choice for autumn travel and vacations.

Cosmopolitan Selection: Prime Day Autumn Leisure Outfit

Cosmopolitan, a leading global fashion magazine for young women, is highly trusted by readers for its keen trend insights and shopping guides. In a recent article about fashion deals for the October 2025 Prime Day, Cosmopolitan listed a leisure outfit from PINSPARK, consisting of shorts and a round-neck top, as a must-buy item.

Editor Lauren Gruber said, “Before I settle in to binge-watch Gilmore Girls, I definitely put on a cute and comfortable home outfit like this. The adjustable drawstring waist is a huge plus!” This outfit is not only perfect for relaxing at home but also suitable for various daily occasions due to its simple design and skin-friendly fabric.

PINSPARK’s Signature Tennis Series: A Perfect Combination of Professionalism and Fashion

In addition to the leisure styles highly recommended by the media, PINSPARK’s tennis series has also garnered significant attention for its professional performance and stylish appearance. This series includes items such as lightweight jackets, sports bras, and skirts with ruffled pockets, fully meeting the dressing needs of sports enthusiasts on the court.

From travel and home settings to sports occasions, PINSPARK has successfully stood out during this autumn Prime Day with its diverse product range and designs that closely align with consumer needs. Behind its success lies not only competitive pricing but also the brand’s unwavering commitment to balancing comfort, practicality, and style. As autumn deepens, these selected styles will continue to be popular choices for consumers looking to update their wardrobes.

VirPoint Announces Expansion of UK and European Operations, Demonstrating Its Leading Position in Digital Asset Strategy

Published

13 hours ago

on

October 20, 2025

By

London, UK – 20/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – VirPoint.com, a leading multi-asset trading platform, recently announced the expansion of its crypto and digital asset investment business in the UK and Europe. Under the leadership of Alexander Melnik, Senior Investment Specialist and Head of Crypto Desk, the crypto and digital asset investment division continues to perform strongly. This continued outperformance reflects VirPoint’s ongoing commitment to delivering measurable value to clients through a combination of advanced analytics, AI-driven trading tools, and experienced human insight.

In 2023, portfolios managed within VirPoint’s Crypto Desk achieved average annual returns of 18.2%, exceeding the company’s overall performance average of 8.5%, as reported by Yahoo Finance. Select digital-asset strategies under the division generated returns of up to 27%, highlighting the platform’s success in integrating blockchain-based investments with traditional CFD and equity frameworks.

 

“VirPoint’s strength lies in our ability to merge institutional discipline with innovation,” said a company spokesperson. “Under Melnik’s direction, the Crypto Desk has become a model for how technology and expert strategy can work together to navigate volatility and capture long-term growth opportunities.”

The performance reinforces VirPoint’s position as a trusted partner for Prime-tier and institutional clients seeking diversified exposure across global markets. By aligning advanced trading infrastructure with strategic portfolio management, VirPoint continues to deliver consistent outcomes in both traditional and emerging asset classes.

Investment Philosophy: AI-Enhanced Human Insight

Melnik is a vocal advocate for technology-assisted investing, describing himself as “a big fan of innovation when it serves human intelligence not replaces it.” Within VirPoint’s ecosystem, he has helped refine the AI-based tools that monitor market sentiment, volatility, and correlation risk. Clients receive personal guidance on setting up these features through one-on-one Zoom or phone sessions, where Melnik explains each metric and integrates it into their trading strategy.

His risk-management philosophy follows two core frameworks used by top institutional desks:

  • The Kelly Criterion Adaptation – optimizing position size relative to the probability of success to maximize long-term portfolio growth while controlling drawdowns.
  • Value-at-Risk (VaR) Discipline – maintaining exposure within statistically defined loss thresholds, ensuring stability even during unexpected volatility.

By blending these quantitative techniques with intuition built from years on trading floors, Melnik helps clients capture opportunities while safeguarding capital – what he calls “the art of growing without overreaching.”

In 2024, Alexander Melnik and his team were honored with the VirPoint Excellence Award for outstanding performance and deep client satisfaction. The prestigious award, now prominently displayed in the firm’s headquarters, serves as a symbol of Melnik’s lasting impact on client trust and results.

Beyond the accolade, he is widely respected for his mentorship of new specialists within VirPoint, always emphasizing integrity, patience, and emotional intelligence as pillars of advisory excellence. His mentorship sessions consistently draw ambitious younger traders eager to learn to balance technical rigor with psychological resilience.

Melnik also leads advanced internal training sessions focused on modern asset allocation principles, where he promotes his signature strategy of combining traditional investments with digital assets to improve overall portfolio performance. His approach to strategic reallocation within blockchain-linked instruments has helped clients achieve higher percentage returns while maintaining strong risk control, a philosophy that has since been adopted by several VirPoint advisors across the firm.

 

Under his guidance, many junior advisors have doubled their client satisfaction scores and demonstrated marked improvements in portfolio stability across volatile markets.

For Melnik, education is not a task – it’s a philosophy. He believes clients should understand why they invest, not just where. His trademark line, repeated in countless client meetings, summarizes this mindset:

“Education is the king. Don’t ask yourself if this or if that choose this and that. In diversity and knowledge lies real stability.”

Looking Ahead: Join the VirPoint Community

As VirPoint.com continues to expand its presence across the UK and Europe, the firm is deepening its commitment to client education and empowerment. New investors are invited to join VirPoint’s New Client Program, which includes a complimentary introductory Zoom session led by experienced specialists such as Alexander Melnik. These sessions cover platform navigation, strategy fundamentals, and effective use of VirPoint’s AI tools – giving clients the confidence to trade smarter from the start.

Prospective traders can register directly on VirPoint.com to open an account, explore the VirPoint Academy, and access free resources including tutorials, webinars, and market guides. Whether you are new to CFD trading or managing a diverse portfolio, VirPoint offers the tools, education, and expert support to help you take the next step in your financial journey.
