PlatON Privacy Computing: Addressing The Fundamentals of Enterprise’s Survival and Development in the Information Age
The good times for the world’s tech giants are over. America’s four tech giants, Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook, are facing one of the toughest antitrust investigations in the history of the Internet. The State Administration for Market Supervision also points to the monopolistic behavior of these Internet platforms. A global anti-monopoly tide is surging and the effects can be felt in the field of science and technology and the Internet.
According to incomplete statistics, in the past four years, large-scale technology enterprises have encountered anti-monopoly investigations and disputes in 17 countries and regions, with a total of 84 cases. Google had the most, with 27, followed by Amazon and Apple, with 22 each, and followed by Facebook, with 13 investigations against them. Google alone has paid more than $9 billion over the past three years in antitrust penalties imposed by the European Union. China’s anti-monopoly campaign also began in 2021. In April, State Administration for Market Supervision fined Alibaba 18.228 billion yuan, which is 4% of Alibaba’s sales (455.712 billion yuan) in China in 2019. It is the largest antitrust fine in Chinese history.
The global situation is no different. The development of the entire Internet is moving towards regional separation and even getting gradually disconnected. At the same time, corporations and governments are reaching agreements exceptionally and coincidentally in regards to the antitrust issues. Emerging-market economies, in particular, are getting increasingly aware that the potential monopolies of tech giants undermine markets and fair trade.
Privacy Protection Is Becoming An Important Factor In Antitrust Enforcement
With the continuous development of digital economy, two areas of privacy protection and anti-monopoly began to cross and merge. In terms of the impact of antitrust on privacy protection, competition pressures, including privacy protection, companies might be pushed to strengthen privacy protection, but opening up competitive data elements could weaken privacy protection. On the other hand, considering the influence of privacy on antitrust, privacy protection can enhance the competitive vitality of digital economy, especially in non-price dimensions, but privacy protection may restrict the competitive factors, such as the opening and sharing of data.
Much of the behavior of Internet platforms is data behavior, resulting in competition, privacy, security and other issues. Digital platform has become a new driving force of economic growth, but due to the asymmetric collection and use of user data information, “algorithm discrimination” is a matter of concern for many.
Privacy Computing Power Has Become The Core Of Industrial Long-Term Development
Under the situation of tight global data supervision, the difficulty of data acquisition restricts the business development of the demander, and the enterprise needs to provide the solution for safe data flow. How to take into account the data availability and privacy security protection, realize the massive data flow while protecting the data privacy security, and prevent the sensitive information leakage, has become the industry’s core concern. The existing data privacy protection schemes mainly aim at the protection of static data, focus on the relatively isolated application scenarios and technical points, and propose solutions to the specific problems in the given application scenarios, but fail to protect the data in calculation and analysis.
Privacy computing can solve the problem of data security in the process of dynamic use and sharing of data, and realize that data can be invisible when using and value can be mobile without leaking data out, and information between multi-services can be shared safely and in compliance.
PlatON: A New Generation Of Privacy Computing Platform
PlatON’s mission is to provide the next generation of Internet-based protocols with the core feature of “computing interoperability”, based on the basic properties of the blockchain and supported by the privacy computing network. PlatON’s privacy AI open-source framework Rosetta aims to make it possible for engineers in the big data and AI fields to use all kinds of privacy computing technologies without any barriers, while categorizing different privacy requirements from the perspective of data privacy and supporting the most cost-effective privacy computing algorithms. For example, the user who is sensitive to the data content, can carry on the irreversible anonymous protection through the encryption means. If the user is strict to the data protection request, it may consider scarifying the convenience and realizing the omni-directional anonymity.
The results of PlatON’s privacy computing are slowly coming to market, with the company’s privacy Token contract officially opening source in 2021, it aims at helping eco-developers and partners hide information about both parties in their products and PlatON through the privacy Token contract standard. Exploring how to combine privacy protection technology with AI, many mainstream organizations are entering the battlefield, the market space is very large, PlatON invests a lot in the local battlefield, occupying the advantage.

ChangeNOW Brings Martin Masser Into Its Crypto Super App
Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, August 5th, 2026, Chainwire
The former TON executive joins as Director of Strategic Partnerships to form the connections behind ChangeNOW’s next phase.
Former TON executive Martin Masser joins ChangeNOW to build strategic partnerships, ecosystem relationships, and media momentum behind its next phase.
Masser comes with experience across traditional banking, Web2 and Web3, including senior growth and business development roles within the TON space. At ChangeNOW, he will lead strategic relationships with blockchain networks, wallets, fintech companies, payment providers and other infrastructure partners.
His appointment comes as ChangeNOW grows beyond standalone crypto services, transitioning to one connected product where users can buy, store, swap, trade, send, receive and grow digital assets. The industry has already built most of the individual components. What it hasn’t solved is the experience of using them together; clients are still expected to switch between platforms, understand different networks and connect the pieces on their own. ChangeNOW’s super app strategy is designed to move that complexity beneath the product.
“Martin brings a rare mix of commercial relationships, product and media understanding,” said Pauline Shangett, Chief Strategy Officer at ChangeNOW. “He knows what the technology can do, what the business needs and how to make the market pay attention. That is exactly the perspective we need as we build the ChangeNOW super app.”
Masser’s role will focus not on accumulating partnership announcements, but on identifying relationships that can make ChangeNOW’s infrastructure more complete and remove unnecessary steps from the сlient experience.
“The best partnerships create access, adoption and attention. My focus is to build relationships that make the product stronger, simpler and more useful, and then help the market understand why they matter. If you are building wallets, networks, payments, stablecoins, fintech infrastructure, consumer crypto or Web3 products, I want to hear from you,” said Masser.
For consumers, ChangeNOW is combining the core activities of managing crypto within one environment. For businesses, it is developing an integrated set of tools for crypto payments, exchange, stablecoin settlement, digital asset management and Web3 integrations.
As ChangeNOW expands into a crypto super app, its next phase is connecting the right networks, wallets and partners. Masser’s role will be central to building those relationships and turning them into product value, adoption and market momentum.

About Martin Masser

allwhere Expands UK Operations with Upgraded Depot
New York City, New York, August 5th, 2026, FinanceWire
allwhere, the leading IT asset lifecycle management platform, today announced the expansion of its UK operations with the opening of a larger, upgraded depot. The investment increases warehouse capacity, streamlines fulfillment operations, and strengthens allwhere’s ability to support organizations managing employee devices across the United Kingdom.
The upgraded facility represents a significant investment in allwhere’s existing UK infrastructure, enabling the company to deliver faster turnaround times, greater operational efficiency, and additional inventory capacity as demand for global device lifecycle management continues to grow.
“As more organizations build distributed teams, the operational side of IT has become increasingly important,” said Tony Solomon, VP of Global Operations at allwhere. “This investment strengthens the foundation of our UK operations, allowing us to fulfill orders more efficiently, scale alongside our customers, and continue delivering the high level of service they expect from allwhere.”
Built to Support Growing IT Operations
The expanded UK depot enhances every stage of the device lifecycle by improving warehouse operations and increasing fulfillment capacity.
Customers can expect benefits including:
- Faster fulfillment, expedited shipping, and improved turnaround times for deployments and retrievals
- Increased warehouse capacity to support growing inventory needs
- More efficient storage, inventory management, and redeployment workflows
- Standardized operational processes that improve consistency and scalability
- End-to-end lifecycle support managed through a single platform
Whether onboarding a new employee, retrieving equipment from an offboarded team member, storing spare inventory, or preparing devices for redeployment, the upgraded facility enables allwhere to execute these workflows more efficiently while maintaining complete visibility through its platform.
Software and Operations, Unified
Unlike traditional asset management solutions that rely on disconnected software, logistics providers, and warehouses, allwhere combines workflow automation with global operational infrastructure.
Organizations can manage procurement, deployment, inventory, retrievals, storage, repairs, redeployment, and IT asset disposition through a single platform, while allwhere handles the operational execution behind the scenes.
The expanded UK depot further strengthens this model by providing the operational capacity needed to support larger fleets, faster fulfillment, and increasingly complex IT programs.
Continuing to Invest in Global Infrastructure
The UK depot expansion is part of allwhere’s continued investment in its global logistics network. allwhere currently operates full-service depots in the UK, Canada, EU, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Later this year, the company plans to further scale its infrastructure into the APAC region, with upcoming depot services in Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and more.
As organizations continue to scale distributed workforces, allwhere remains focused on expanding the operational infrastructure that powers modern IT teams—combining intelligent software with local logistics expertise to simplify device lifecycle management around the world.
About allwhere
allwhere is a laptop retrieval and IT procurement company that automates the IT asset lifecycle for companies ranging from startups to enterprises. From procurement and deployment to storage, maintenance, and retrieval, allwhere provides the infrastructure businesses need to support a global, distributed workforce.

Borderless.xyz Teams Up with Mastercard to Advance Trusted Cross-Border Stablecoin Payment Flows
New York, New York, August 5th, 2026, FinanceWire
Borderless.xyz will explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential can help bring greater trust and confidence to cross-border stablecoin payments.
Borderless.xyz and Mastercard are collaborating on a new pilot to explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential’s standards-based framework can support trusted interactions across cross-border stablecoin payment flows.
Stablecoins are increasingly being used to move value across borders, creating new opportunities for faster and more efficient payments. As adoption grows, participants need trusted ways to understand who they are interacting with and whether counterparties have met appropriate standards and requirements.
Through the pilot, Borderless.xyz and Mastercard will explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential can address that challenge by providing assurance signals that participants can incorporate into their own approval, compliance and risk processes.
Mastercard Crypto Credential helps support trusted and verifiable interactions across digital asset ecosystems. Through common standards and trusted assurance signals, it is designed to help bring more confidence, transparency and certainty to transactions across blockchain networks.
The collaboration pairs Mastercard’s work in building trust and standards for digital asset ecosystems with Borderless.xyz’s network of stablecoin payment providers. Together, the companies are exploring how trusted governance signals can help reduce friction and bring greater confidence to cross-border stablecoin payments as adoption grows.
“One of the biggest friction points for stablecoin payment operators isn’t the payments. It’s that compliance doesn’t scale the same way the network does. Every new provider means starting the verification process over. Correspondent banking solved this decades ago: originating compliance trusted downstream, no re-execution at every counterparty. Mastercard is applying that model to digital asset payments. Borderless.xyz is the network it runs through.” – Kevin Lehtiniitty, CEO and Co-Founder, Borderless.xyz
“Innovation is most powerful when it builds over time. Our relationship with Borderless.xyz began through Start Path and has continued to grow as the digital asset ecosystem has matured,” said Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president, Blockchain & Digital Assets at Mastercard. “Today, we’re excited to take the next step together, exploring how Mastercard Crypto Credential can help bring greater trust and confidence to stablecoin payment flows across a growing network of participants.”
The pilot brings together several of Borderless.xyz‘s network participants consisting of Infinia, Walapay, and Koywe, many of whom are also alumni of Mastercard Start Path, the company’s startup engagement program. These partners will leverage Mastercard Crypto Credential as some of the first stablecoin payment operators to run on the single-audit compliance model at network scale.
About Borderless.xyz
Borderless.xyz is a global stablecoin orchestration and liquidity network. Its single API connects wallet infrastructure to 15+ licensed stablecoin providers across 100+ countries. It lets businesses enter new markets without new integrations, get failover so payments don’t drop, and make providers compete for your volume on price.
