PayRange Grows 1,325% to Rank in Top 100 Fastest Growing in North America on Deloitte’s 2020 Technology Fast 500™

PORTLAND, OR (November 17, 2020) –  PayRange announced it ranked 83 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America now in its 26th year. PayRange grew 1,325% during the previous 3-year period.

PayRange’s Chief Executive Officer, Paresh Patel, credits the revenue growth to its passionate team that develops and markets innovative payment technology to an industry ripe for innovation. He said, “The automated retail industry, characterized by small ticket payments made traditionally with cash and coin, had been largely left behind by incumbent cashless payment providers. Recognizing the opportunity and leveraging our industry experience, we invented mobile payment technology designed specifically for this market that not only brought touchless payments to these machines, but also elevated the overall experience. We’re thankful to our customers for deploying our solution which is at the forefront of transforming an industry that has otherwise seen little payment innovation in over 50 years.”

“For more than 25 years, we’ve been honoring companies that define the cutting edge and this year’s Technology Fast 500 list is proof positive that technology — from software and digital media platforms, to biotech — truly does permeate so many facets of our lives,” said Paul Silverglate, Vice Chairman, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology sector leader. “We congratulate this year’s winners, especially during a time when innovation is needed more than ever to address the monumental challenges posed by the pandemic.”

Flying Dresses International Solidifies Global Presence, Setting a New Standard for Experiential Luxury on the World’s Most Iconic Stages

Published

on

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 6th Feb 2026 – Flying Dresses International has formally cemented its position as a global leader in experiential luxury, unveiling a new chapter of international activations that place couture, destination, and personal storytelling on some of the world’s most recognisable stages.

Over the past year, the brand has executed landmark experiences at locations rarely associated with fashion-led storytelling. These include a high-impact activation at Seattle’s Space Needle, a creative collaboration within Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles, and an international runway debut in Hawaii. Closer to home, Flying Dresses International has also taken to the runway in Tasmania and Cairns, marking its growing influence across Australia’s premium fashion and tourism markets.

What sets Flying Dresses International apart is not scale alone, but adoption. The brand has become a trusted creative partner for national pageant titleholders and international fashion ambassadors, positioning itself at the intersection of couture and cultural influence. These endorsements reflect a broader shift in luxury, where experience, symbolism, and authorship carry equal weight to design.

At the centre of this expansion is founder Maria Praljak, whose vision continues to shape the brand’s international relevance. A multi-award-winning entrepreneur, Praljak was recognised in both the Maldives and Dubai in 2025 for her contribution to global fashion tourism and women-led enterprise. With a background spanning law, politics, luxury yachting, and global travel, she has built Flying Dresses International into a platform that merges art direction, destination, and identity.

“We are not just a photoshoot; we are a foundry for modern icons,” says Maria Praljak, Founder of Flying Dresses International. “We provide the stage, the couture, and the art direction for a woman to forge her own ‘Insigne Dea’, a timeless testament to her power and her story.”

The January release of this announcement has been strategically timed to coincide with the commencement of Australia’s peak wedding season and the lead-up to major exhibitions in Melbourne. This timing positions Flying Dresses International directly in front of brides and luxury travellers during their most active planning window.

As the brand continues its international expansion across the United States, the Pacific, and Asia, Flying Dresses International is redefining how luxury fashion is experienced, documented, and remembered.

Elysium and Spotex Launch Integrated Front-to-Back Digital Asset Trading Platform for Institutional Markets

Published

on

  • Elysium and Spotex Deliver Integrated Front-to-Back Digital Asset Trading Solution for the Institutional Market 
  • Decade-Long Partnership Expands from FX to Cryptocurrency with Live Deployment at Major Crypto Broker 

Chicago, IL, 6th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Elysium and Spotex today announce the integration of Spotex’s institutional trading platform with Elysium’s MatchHub post-trade infrastructure. The integrated solution delivers a seamless front-to-back workflow for digital asset trading and has been successfully deployed at an established cryptocurrency broker, enabling optimized execution, reconciliation, and settlement across multiple custodians and clearing venues.

The combined offering represents a natural evolution of the two firms’ decade-long collaboration in traditional OTC foreign exchange markets. As both companies expanded their capabilities to serve the growing institutional digital asset ecosystem, the integration creates a comprehensive solution for firms operating in both FX and cryptocurrency markets.

The platform leverages Spotex’s api-driven execution capabilities—including price discovery, matching engine, cross-asset liquidity aggregation, and fiat-crypto pair pricing—with MatchHub’s back-end infrastructure for trade reconciliation, counterparty credit management, and multi-party settlement optimization. This end-to-end solution addresses the nuanced challenges faced by institutional crypto brokers managing multi-custodial relationships and diverse clearing arrangements across both traditional and digital assets.

“The growth of the crypto OTC market is supported in part by quality off-chain liquidity.” said Chris O’Connor, CEO of Elysium. “Spotex’s execution capabilities enable brokers to create a deep and diverse liquidity stack and Elysium’s MatchHub solves the complexity of the post-trade workflows.

“Our long history with Elysium in FX markets made this integration a natural evolution,” said John Miesner, CEO of Spotex. “Deploying our proven execution capabilities in digital assets along-side Elysium’s robust post-trade capabilities delivers the same operational excellence that institutional clients expect from their FX trading operations.”

The live deployment at the cryptocurrency broker showcases the platform’s ability to handle high-volume institutional trading while maintaining rigorous reconciliation and settlement standards across traditional banking infrastructure and digital asset custodial relationships. The bundled solution is immediately available to all institutional digital asset trading firms seeking to streamline their liquidity and enhance operational efficiency.
