GST Payment Public-chain: “Specific Medicine” for Economic Crisis under the Epidemic
The history of mankind is a history of fighting against the epidemic and a history of scientific and technological development. The COVID-19 epidemic had swept the globe in 2020, causing global economic hardship and countless people fought against the epidemic. However, the Blockchain technology greatly played the role of on-chain efficiency (namely its characteristics, such as openness and transparency, promptness and efficiency, and convenient interaction) during the epidemic. The innovation based on Blockchain and digital asset is still comprehensively carried out, and plays a very important role especially in such fields as intelligent digital management of the epidemic, cross-border payment and supply chain financial service.
Now, the Blockchain technology is increasingly being used in the emerging market and one of the primary causes is the availability of liquidity. Furthermore, there is a strict public health target and quarantine guideline now and people can realize necessary contactless experience via digital asset. It can be predicted that this new COVID-19 epidemic has caused many payment service providers to rethink their business and operating models.
The digital asset is increasingly being recognized to be able to provide the convenience for payment, especially when it is combined with Blockchain technology. Although the epidemic still continues globally, the industry innovators have achieved remarkable growth in terms of extensible Blockchain payment solution. With Blockchain as the carrier, GST builds a new payment public Blockchain ecology, and enhances the payment speed and realizes high reliability, improves data transparency and accomplishes the reduction of long-term operating costs by the technical advantages of the Blockchain (such as distributed storage, openness, transparency and data traceability).
The cross-border payment is a good example. The real-time settlement of cross-border payment is deemed as a business requirement by many people and required by the consumers and enterprises. The GST Blockchain payment solution deeply has solved the problem relating to the cross-border payment and improved the portability and security of currency. GST can carry out payment and settlement in the premise of avoiding various central controls, is born with transnational nature, free from any geographical restriction and anonymous and tamper-proof, and can transfer the fund all over the world within several minutes.
Now, GST is carrying out GSTswap project. GSTswap is a completely decentralized digital currency exchange platform developed based on GST bottom layer. The functions of GSTswap (such as exchange, market-making capital pool and creation of trading pair) are realized by the smart contract. Each transaction is conducted by the wallet account with contract signature verification implemented, thus the record about each transaction can be found on the Blockchain; The market making is free without amount threshold limit. Everyone can participate in it and benefit from it.
Moreover, GST deems that when the financial crisis is incurred by the current epidemic, the DeFi on the Blockchain suddenly rises due to its special properties and functions and will help more people to deal with and even get rid of the crisis influence and become the “specific medicine” for overcoming the crisis, (such as avoiding risk of dollars entering the centralized stablecoins and potential financial needs vigorously promoting the DeFi lending).
There are many folk requirements of avoiding risk from buying dollars with other currencies via specialized channels and converting them into various dollar stablecoins. Because the stablecoin stock continuously increases, lots of idle centralized dollar stablecoins are with huge financial needs. Most of such stablecoins are ERC20 tokens issued via Ethereum (such as USDT and USDC) which is applicable to lending for bearing interest and transaction directly in the current DeFi agreement. As various stablecoin holders realize the liquidity and safety advantages of DEFI’s lending, there will be a large number of centralized stablecoins entering the DeFi lending and financing for bearing interest in the future.
GST also thinks that the DeFi payment and transaction will become the green channels of capital control country. Although the capital control is the requirement of protecting financial stability, it has seriously affected the normal trading and investment needs of enterprises and individuals actually, especially in some countries with relatively backward financial infrastructure, such as Egypt and Vietnam. The capital control will cause the citizens have no access to international financial infrastructure. The country’s financial infrastructure is inadequate, and even the country fails to provide the reliable basic financial services, such as cross-border transfer and transaction of financial assets. The GST DeFi payment is characterized by no border and resistance to review, as a result, the users in the controlled countries can carry out cross-border and domestic payment and transaction, and even invest DeFi synthetic assets to participate in international financial markets.
After each big crisis, some old industrial ecologies will be destroyed and the new formats will appear from the ruins. As the financial infrastructure established on the next-generation Internet, the Blockchain is believed to officially become the mainstream and provide the really inclusive, safe, reliable and reasonable financial services for the whole world after the unprecedented global epidemic+ economic crisis.

Nicosia, Cyprus, August 10th, 2026, FinanceWire
Bookmap has announced a new partnership with Plus500, bringing together advanced market visualization with institutional-grade execution infrastructure for futures traders.
This collaboration introduces two distinct ways for traders to access futures markets through Bookmap using Plus500’s technology:
- Direct brokerage access, enabling traders to open and fund a Plus500 account and operate within a fully integrated trading environment
- Order routing integration, allowing traders to connect Bookmap to Plus500’s execution infrastructure while keeping their existing broker
Expanding Access to Futures Markets
Through Plus500’s infrastructure, Bookmap users can now access major global futures exchanges with a streamlined setup and a reliable execution environment.
For traders already working with a broker or FCM, the order routing solution provides a flexible path to upgrade execution without changing existing relationships. Once approved, users can connect Bookmap directly using Plus500 credentials and begin trading with minimal setup time.
For those looking for a more unified setup, Plus500’s brokerage offering delivers account management, execution, and market access within a single environment, removing the need to coordinate across multiple providers.
Simplifying Market Data and Infrastructure
One of the more notable aspects of the integration is how it simplifies the overall trading stack.
When using Plus500’s infrastructure, traders benefit from:
- Included Level 2 market data for eligible non-professional users
- No additional market data fees in the integrated setup
- High-quality MBO data, providing detailed visibility into market activity
Combined with Bookmap’s visualization tools, this creates a more complete view of liquidity, order flow, and execution conditions, without the complexity of sourcing multiple data providers.
Bringing Together Visualization and Execution
Bookmap’s platform is widely used for analyzing order flow through tools such as heatmaps, volume visualization, and trade activity tracking. By integrating Plus500’s execution and brokerage infrastructure, traders can now move more seamlessly from analysis to execution within the same workflow.

By unifying these capabilities, we simplify complex futures infrastructure and create a scalable model for Bookmap customers and financial partners.”
“Traders today are often forced to piece together multiple tools just to get a complete view of the market. This partnership changes that. By combining Bookmap’s visualization with Plus500’s execution and data infrastructure, we’re giving traders a more direct, streamlined way to understand and act on market activity,” said Tsachi Galanos, Bookmap CEO.

Deposits Are Open for hBTC, the Vault Token for Hilbert Group’s BTC Basis+ Strategy
Syntetika, a tokenization hub for regulated investment strategies, opened deposits today for its first strategy: BTC Basis+, managed by the publicly traded Hilbert Group.
Syntetika makes investment strategies that run inside regulated funds accessible directly from a wallet. Each fund operates with independent custody, and each cycle its net asset value is attested by an independent third party. That attested NAV is the price at which vault tokens are issued and redeemed.
BTC Basis+ is a Bitcoin basis strategy: it holds Bitcoin exposure and captures the funding spread between spot and futures markets, with returns denominated in Bitcoin terms. Participants deposit cbBTC through the Syntetika platform in a permissionless way. Deposits are queued and subscribed into the fund at the next processing cycle, with hBTC minted at an attested NAV. Redemptions follow the same cycle.
Syntetika launches with partners Tulipa Capital on strategy curation, Ember Protocol on vault infrastructure, and Yield Network as Liquidity Syndication Partner. The platform launches on Base. Reserves behind its tokens will also become checkable by anyone through Chainlink Proof of Reserve.
“Today Syntetika opens its doors with BTC Basis+,” said Jorge Cuartero, CEO of Syntetika. “What we are really launching is the platform underneath it: infrastructure built to carry a growing set of regulated strategies onchain. This is day one of that roadmap.”
BTC Basis+ is open for deposits now at syntetika.io
About Syntetika
Syntetika is a tokenization hub for regulated investment strategies. Each strategy runs inside a regulated fund with independent custody and third-party NAV attestation, and is accessed onchain through a vault token issued and redeemed at that attested NAV.

SS Support Network Expands Healthcare BPO and Call Center Services Beyond NEMT to Home Care, Clinics, and Specialty Practices
SS Support Network has expanded its healthcare BPO and call center services beyond NEMT to serve home care agencies, clinics, dental and behavioral health practices, and DME suppliers across the United States.
Vancouver, WA, United States, 10th Aug 2026, Grand Newswire – SS Support Network LLC, a business process outsourcing and call center company serving U.S. healthcare providers, today announced the expansion of its service portfolio beyond non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) to serve home care agencies, medical clinics, dental practices, behavioral health providers, hospice organizations, and durable medical equipment suppliers.
The expansion extends the company’s existing operational model — dedicated, HIPAA-trained agents who work inside each client’s own software and answer in the client’s company name — across a broader range of healthcare back-office functions. These include 24/7 patient call handling, appointment scheduling, referral intake, insurance verification, prior authorization support, medical billing and denial management, provider credentialing, caregiver scheduling, and dedicated virtual assistants.
“Our NEMT clients taught us that the problem isn’t specific to transportation,” said Shahzaib Shah, CEO of SS Support Network LLC. “A home care agency losing weekend referrals to voicemail and a dialysis transport company losing after-hours trips are the same operational problem. The provider is running the phones instead of running the business.”
The company reports that its longest-running NEMT client, which engaged SS Support Network more than two years ago while operating in a single state, now operates across multiple states with SS Support Network handling its inbound calls, dispatching, driver coordination, broker portal management, trip assignment, patient and driver follow-ups, and billing.
The expansion responds to documented pressure across U.S. healthcare administration. Industry research indicates that administrative staffing shortages have made in-house hiring for billing, scheduling, and patient support increasingly difficult for small and mid-size providers, while denial rates and prior authorization workloads continue to climb.
SS Support Network operates under signed Business Associate Agreements with HIPAA-trained agents, and provides all services on month-to-month terms with no setup fees. New clients receive a free operations audit that reviews current coverage gaps and provides a written recommendation.
About SS Support Network
SS Support Network LLC is a business process outsourcing and call center company registered in Vancouver, Washington, with a second office in Pakistan, serving healthcare providers across the United States. The company provides 24/7 patient call handling, NEMT dispatch, medical billing, provider credentialing, insurance verification, and back-office support to NEMT providers, home care agencies, clinics, and specialty healthcare practices.
