Motiwala cultivates an untapped digital gold market in Southeast Asia

Published

on

Ever since the outbreak of Covid-19, investors worldwide have turned to transfer part of their assets into gold investment to avoid market uncertainties and take advantage of gold’s reliable store of value. Investors have always cited gold as a safe haven when market uncertainties intensify, and the events in 2020 further confirmed the established correlation between gold and market risk levels.

Since January 2020, the gold price has zipped up 25% by the end of the year, even hitting a record high of over $2,000 per ounce at one point for the first time in history.

Along with the growth of demand for gold-related investments, supply grows too. A Dubai-based precious metal supplier known as Motiwala caught sight of the growth in demand and is determined to make use of this opportunity to become a world leader in the precious metal industry.

How Motiwala accumulated sand grain into mountain

Motiwala Jewellers LLC is a certified precious metal refinery, gold processor, bullion manufacturer, and precious metal supplier based in Dubai. Renowned for its complete and diversified rare metal business network, Motiwala Jewellers is one of the top 5 gold merchants globally and one of the largest refineries in the Middle East region.

But Rome wasn’t built in a day. It takes a lot of passion and hard work to build such a spectacular precious metal empire. Its founder, Iqbal Bhai from Pakistan, founded Motiwala 40 years ago and has been in the gold industry since then. He started as a gold and jewellery wholesaler in his home country and later found success when he filed a patent for the international gold market fair in Dubai after discovering its undeveloped gold market.

Through several decades of development, Motiwala Jewellers established subsidiary companies to further diversify the range of services it provides and as an effort to complete its supply chain. It is now the holding company of Motiwala Gold Trading, Motiwala Gold & Precious Stone Industry, Motiwala Gold & Metal Laboratory, Shaheen Exchange.

Since then, the company’s businesses have expanded to cover gold mining, processing, jewellery design, jewellery retail stores, physical gold trading, gold and metal laboratories, precious stones & diamond retail stores, and currency exchange.

With its refinery and an ISO 17025 certified in-house laboratory, Motiwala can produce gold bullion at the finest quality and allow investors to purchase gold bars ranging from 1 gram to 100 grams in size at a competitive price in its physical stores, thus allowing all investors to start investing in gold regardless of their capital size.

Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven

The gold market in Asia, Southeast Asia in particular, are underdeveloped, but experts are confident that Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven in the near future as Southeast Asia has one of the fastest rates of digital payment adoption and more than 400 million internet users. The strong tech foundations were laid by the appealing regulatory landscape and strong government support that has escalated the growth of innovation and healthy competition in this region.

In response to the year-long pandemic crisis, part of the gold and jewellery retailers in Asia are moving their retail businesses onto the internet to reach online consumers and combat the highly contagious virus simultaneously. With robust governance and regulations, digital gold has been gaining much traction in the Southeast Asia market.

Tapping into Southeast Asia’s growing digital gold landscape

Envisioned to become the world leader for dealers and traders from across the globe and to achieve sustainable quality growth, Motiwala co-founded Moti Investment Capital (MIC) in 2018 to expand its global presence in the capital trading sector. The establishment of MIC will enable investors to achieve low-risk, sustainable returns using Motiwala’s unique set of the gold supply chain.

As the first step to globalize its operation, Motiwala has tapped into Southeast Asian countries, providing a wide array of services to the new countries, including asset management, physical gold trading and more. With Motiwala’s supply chain and diverse line of services, it will allow investors to purchase physical gold even if the investors are located outside of Dubai.

In 2018, member countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) had consumed 309 tonnes of gold, making Southeast Asia the third-largest market for gold in the world. With the combination of rapid digital adoption, the cultural importance of gold in the region, and low expansion costs, it makes Southeast Asia an ideal region as the first step in Motiwala’s globalization.

MOTIWALA announces partnership with BIS

Motiwala has recently announced its partnership with BIS to expand its global presence. BIS Holding is the first of its kind asset management firm to provide unique investment opportunities for investors, allowing clients to have the privilege to participate in the markets like a real corporate level liquidity provider.

“We are excited to partner with BIS,” said Iqbal Bhai, Founder of Motiwala group. “Through this strategic partnership, Motiwala and BIS can form a clear win-win relationship to provide more value to your existing customers. It would also bolster the long-term partnership between Motiwala and BIS as both firms continue to seek opportunities to achieve business expansion.”

KBY Exchange Supports the Global Shift Toward Web3 Compliance Amid Rising Regulatory Standards

Published

2 hours ago

on

January 17, 2026

By

Singapore, January 16, 2026 — As global regulators intensify oversight of digital finance and Web3-based financial infrastructures, compliance has rapidly shifted from an optional safeguard to a fundamental requirement for long-term viability. Recent industry data indicates that a significant majority of centralized digital finance platforms worldwide have now implemented comprehensive identity verification and customer due diligence frameworks, marking a critical milestone in the maturation of the Web3 ecosystem.

Against this backdrop, KBY Exchange is positioning itself as an active advocate for compliant, transparent, and sustainable digital finance development, supporting a future where Web3 innovation and regulatory frameworks evolve together—rather than in opposition.

From Ideals to Infrastructure: A Defining Moment for Web3

For more than a decade, early Web3 development emphasized openness, decentralization, and permissionless access. However, as digital finance systems expanded into large-scale, cross-border financial infrastructure, regulators worldwide were compelled to respond to increasing risks related to financial crime, sanctions exposure, and misuse of digital payment networks.

The implementation of FATF-aligned guidelines, the global rollout of cross-border transaction traceability requirements in nearly 100 jurisdictions, and a wave of high-profile enforcement actions have reshaped industry expectations.

 Today, compliance is no longer a limitation—it is the gateway to participating in global digital finance markets.

KBY Exchange views this transition not as a constraint, but as a necessary evolution toward a mature, resilient Web3 financial infrastructure.

Compliance as a Competitive Advantage

KBY Exchange aligns its operational framework with internationally recognized standards for AML controls, customer identification, and sanctions screening, reflecting a broader shift across the digital finance industry toward accountability and risk discipline. Key pillars include:

  • Robust identity verification and customer due diligence
  • Continuous transaction monitoring with risk-based controls
  • Alignment with global regulatory principles governing Web3 financial service providers

By embedding compliance at the infrastructure level, KBY Exchange supports long-term platform stability while enhancing user confidence and institutional readiness.

Restoring Trust After Market Turbulence

Recent years have demonstrated the cost of weak governance across the broader digital finance landscape. Enforcement actions and platform failures have exposed the systemic risks created by inadequate compliance frameworks and poor internal controls.

In response, institutional participants and professional users are increasingly prioritizing platforms that demonstrate transparent operations, clear accountability structures, and strong risk management practices.

KBY Exchange recognizes that trust has become the scarcest asset in Web3. Compliance is not only a regulatory obligation—it is a core requirement for users seeking security, predictability, and sustainable participation in digital finance ecosystems.

Bridging Web3 Innovation and Global Standards

Rather than viewing regulation as an obstacle, KBY Exchange supports a cooperative model in which technology enhances compliance efficiency. Advances in automated identity verification, AI-driven risk monitoring, and secure data governance enable platforms to meet regulatory expectations without compromising user experience.

This approach reflects a growing industry consensus:

 sustainable Web3 growth depends on harmonizing innovation with global standards, not avoiding them.

A Shared Responsibility for the Industry’s Future

As jurisdictions worldwide move toward unified licensing frameworks and stricter enforcement for Web3 financial activities, platforms that fail to adapt face increasing operational and reputational risk.

KBY Exchange calls on industry participants to treat compliance not as a burden, but as a shared responsibility—one that strengthens market integrity, supports institutional participation, and accelerates mainstream adoption.

In a Web3 era defined by accountability, KBY Exchange stands for a future where trust, transparency, and compliance form the foundation of global digital finance.

January 17, 2026

By

United States, 17th Jan 2026 – Merto Software Solutions Ltd, also known as Merto Solutions, today announced a major strategic expansion of its services, strengthening its position as a leading UK software company specialising in custom software development, API integrations, Amazon SP-API integration, technology consulting, and intelligent business process automation for organisations pursuing scalable growth and SME digital transformation.

The expansion reflects rising demand from businesses across retail logistics, eCommerce, finance, healthcare, and professional services seeking to reduce operational costs, eliminate manual data entry, and achieve long-term scalable growth through better system integration and smarter automation.

“Modern businesses are no longer limited by market opportunity, they are limited by disconnected systems and inefficient processes,” said a spokesperson for Merto Software Solutions. “Our mission is to connect those systems, automate the work between them, and provide the strategic guidance that allows companies to grow with confidence.”

Solving the Core Problem of Disconnected Systems

Across nearly every industry Merto supports, leadership teams face the same challenge: fragmented software stacks. CRMs, ERPs, accounting platforms, eCommerce systems, warehouse tools, and legacy platforms operate in isolation, forcing teams into repetitive manual work.

Merto’s expanded API integration services transform these fragmented environments into a single, automated operating system for the business.

Using secure REST API integration, GraphQL integration, SOAP API integration, and bespoke API development, Merto connects platforms including Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify, Xero, SAP, QuickBooks, WooCommerce, and custom legacy systems.

Typical client outcomes include:

  • 75 per cent reduction in manual work
  • 10x faster real-time data synchronisation
  • 99.9 per cent uptime reliability
  • Significant decreases in processing errors and administrative cost

These system integration services enable companies to move faster, operate more efficiently, and support long-term SME digital transformation.

Leadership in Amazon SP-API Integration and Amazon Automation

As part of its expansion, Merto Solutions is strengthening its position as a specialist provider of Amazon API integration and Amazon SP-API automation, serving Amazon sellers, vendors, freight partners, certifiers, and service providers.

Merto is a member of the Amazon Ads Partner Network and delivers advanced Amazon marketplace integration solutions including:

  • Amazon inventory sync
  • Amazon order automation
  • Amazon reports automation
  • Amazon FBA automation
  • Shopify Amazon integration and WooCommerce Amazon sync

Clients consistently achieve:

  • 90 per cent reduction in time spent on reporting
  • 99 per cent fewer order synchronisation errors
  • 40x faster fulfilment operations

Through secure permissions, resilient automation pipelines, and enterprise-grade infrastructure, Merto enables Amazon businesses to scale without adding headcount or increasing risk.

Technology Consulting That Prevents Costly Mistakes

Merto’s expanded technology consulting UK practice provides independent,

vendor-neutral technology advice to founders and leadership teams across the UK and internationally.

Services include:

  • Architecture review and software architecture planning
  • Systems integration roadmap design
  • Automation consulting and workflow automation strategy
  • Cost and ROI modelling
  • Risk assessment and mitigation
  • Scalable infrastructure planning
  • IT strategy for SMEs
  • 90-day delivery planning

Each engagement delivers clear, actionable reports that support confident decision-making and sustainable digital transformation.

Custom Software Development Built Around the Business

Alongside integration and consulting, custom software development UK remains central to Merto’s offering.

Merto builds bespoke software solutions, from MVP development to full enterprise software development, including custom web applications, mobile app development UK, SaaS platforms, and complex internal systems.

Rather than forcing companies to adapt to generic software, Merto creates solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing tools, automate workflows, and scale with the organisation’s growth.

This approach has delivered measurable success for clients including Scan Global Logistics, Hague Global, My Personalised Events, Pulp, Fitly, Stortmill Recycling, Langley Motors, and many others.

Practical AI Automation for Measurable Results

While not positioned as an AI product vendor, Merto integrates AI automation and AI agents for business where they produce clear operational benefits. These include intelligent support routing, automated data entry, reporting assistants, and AI-powered solutions governed by client business rules.

All AI deployments include strict guardrails, audit logs, and secure fallback mechanisms to ensure reliability and compliance.

Positioned for the Next Generation of Digital Operations

With this strategic expansion, Merto Software Solutions positions itself as a long-term integration partner and software consultancy in Windsor, UK, delivering bespoke integrations, eCommerce automation, and end-to-end digital transformation for growth-driven organisations.

“Merto exists to build the invisible infrastructure behind modern businesses,” the spokesperson added. “When systems connect properly and technology decisions are made with clarity, companies reduce costs, eliminate inefficiency, and unlock sustainable growth.”

Press Release

The Future of Smart Wallets Revealed at CES 2026, Generating Strong Industry Excitement

Published

on

January 17, 2026

By

 Alexandria, Sydney, United States, 17th Jan 2026 – Futurizta Tech today announced the official reveal of Atlas, its modular smart wallet ecosystem, at CES 2026, where the product made a strong debut and attracted significant attention from media, buyers, and attendees throughout the show.

Designed as a new take on everyday carry, Atlas reimagines the traditional wallet by combining card storage, wireless charging, tracking compatibility, and modular expansion into a single, cohesive platform. Rather than positioning Atlas as a standalone accessory, Futurizta Tech introduced it at CES as the foundation of a broader ecosystem built to adapt to modern lifestyles.

A New Approach to Everyday Carry

At its core, Atlas is a 5-in-1 MagSafe smart wallet designed to simplify what users carry daily. It integrates card storage, wireless charging for compatible smartphones, Apple Find My compatibility for item tracking, and a built-in stand — all within a slim, pocket-friendly form factor.

What drew particular attention at CES was Atlas’ modular ecosystem design, which allows users to customise functionality based on different needs. The ecosystem includes:

  • Xpand, a modular expansion wallet that increases storage capacity while maintaining a slim profile
  • Xpower, a magnetic power module that attaches directly to Atlas, providing portable power without added bulk
  • Xmag, a magnetic utility accessory that extends Atlas’ use through mounting and NFC-enabled applications

Together, these components transform Atlas from a wallet into a flexible everyday platform — one that adapts to travel, work, and daily routines without requiring users to carry multiple accessories.

Strong CES Debut and Industry Interest

During CES 2026, Atlas drew consistent interest from attendees seeking practical, well-designed solutions for everyday tech. Live demonstrations highlighted how the ecosystem works together seamlessly, resonating with users looking to reduce clutter while maintaining essential functionality.

“Atlas was built to solve real frustrations we experience every day — dead phones, bulky wallets, and disconnected accessories,” said Alex Teh, Founder of Futurizta Tech. “The response at CES validated our belief that people want fewer things, but better-designed ones. Seeing that excitement firsthand was incredibly rewarding.”

Designed Around Simplicity and Intentional Design

Atlas reflects Futurizta Tech’s broader design philosophy of intentional hardware — products that prioritise usability, modularity, and long-term relevance over excess features. By focusing on how people actually move, work, and travel, Atlas aims to replace multiple everyday items with one adaptable system.

About Futurizta Tech

Futurizta Tech is a lifestyle technology company focused on creating multifunctional hardware that simplifies modern life. Through modular ecosystems like Atlas, Futurizta Tech continues to explore new ways to reduce clutter and improve everyday routines through thoughtful design.
