SoftBank Focuses On The Layout Of The Metaverse With AOS To Create A Brand-New Future
Recently, Softbank Ventures Asia publicly announced that it has begun to focus on Metaverse and invested in the AOS project. It will cooperate with AOS to connect and integrate more Metaverses in AI, NFT, robotics, and other fields, and carry the development of large-scale killer applications.
The enthusiastic investment in Metaverse has not subsided, but it has risen again. The technology giants have all entered the Metaverse. Facebook plans to fully transform into Metaverse before 2025, and will set up a product team to accelerate investment in VR/AR and the creator community; Bytedance, which has always believed in Striving for Miracles, merged Mutong Technology for 4 billion USD, and begin to lay out the Metaverse; Axie Infinity builds NFT games based on the Metaverse, subverting the traditional game mode and becoming a phenomenon-level game product; miHOYO, the developer of “Genshin Impact”, formed an AI scientist inverse entropy team, and self-developed Avatar Luming to explore the brain-computer interface. Through investment, miHOYO has successfully deployed the social Metaverse Soul; the Internet industry is renewing and iterating rapidly, and companies need to attach importance to meet unknown concepts and challenges or be left behind by the times.
In the Metaverse era, everything has virtual avatars. The concept of Metaverse seems to be still in the mist today, but the prelude to the new era has been opened, and it is closer than you think.
The popularization of the term Metaverse was cited from the novel Avalanche by American science fiction writer Neil Stephenson in 1992. In his book, he used the word Metaverse for the first time without foundation and described it as a parallel universe projected from the real world through technical means such as the Internet. However, anyone who has watched the movie “Ready Player One” by the great director Steven Spielberg should probably understand this concept. Like the “Oasis” in the movie, the company has created a realistic virtual world outside of the real world. Every player in the real world has another identity in the virtual world, establishes another social circle, and leads another life. Although the Metaverse is only a virtual world, its immersion is so vivid that you will think it is the real world and enjoy life in this new world.
AOS (Artificial Intelligence Operating System) is the first operating system developed by Canada Unicorn Park, based on the underlying blockchain technology to connect the Metaverse. By building a Metaverse bridge online, and using robots as an intelligent carrier offline to build an ecosystem between Metaverses and provide a new experience for integration with Metaverse and the real world.
Based on AOS, users could create an AI NFT that has autonomous consciousness and advanced self-learning capability; And it also gets influenced by the distributed personality database on the chain to build character, and gradually complete neural network-style self-learning and improvements. Most of all, the distributed character database is based on the “Book of Changes” and appropriately constructs the character of AI; users can inject their favorite characters, personalities, voices, etc., into their own AI NFT, and tame it to learn more skills. AOS encourages users to integrate more characters and personalities, combined with NFT to create different artistic values. The custom AI itself has NFT attributes. Users can customize the appearance of AI on the network, and can also authorize access to a third-party character customization system, such as specific character images and voices, and third-party NFT star voices and appearances, packaged in the form of NFT used for trading and collection.
AOS connects the first-generation physical carrier, the AI four-wheel driving robot Mars_1 with the Metaverse and the real world, creating a new user experience.
Mars_1 is a highly integrated artificial intelligence robot product. Its appearance is in the form of a four-legged driving robot dog. It adopts an original five-layer motion control technology and several technical indicators are in a leading position in the global industry. Mars_1 has integrated the Internet of Things, 5G, virtual reality/augmented reality, intelligent driving, swarm intelligence, and other technologies. Mars_1 will obey commands and gradually be closer to a dog and then become to a good assistant to humankind.
On the road to the Metaverse, AOS always hopes to leave a strong and colorful stroke in its own way. Connect the Metaverse through AI and map out the experience and lifestyle of the future. For the world that people dream of, high-intelligence AI coupled with linkage with robots will be an indispensable component of this era. As the aboriginal and basic units of the Metaverse, these virtual species based on AOS will continue to establish connections with us beyond human beings in the infinite space and time of the future, transcending the fetters of races.
Sun Zhengyi believes: “We are about to experience the biggest change in human history. AI will eventually replace human beings. This is not only reflected in knowledge but also in intelligence. This change will happen in this century, and then in the next 30 years, there is no doubt that our focus is on AI, intelligent robots, and the IOTs.” Based on this analysis and judgment, SoftBank has frequently carried out large-scale layouts in the fields of AI, intelligent robots, and IOTs. Start from all aspects to create a powerful robot empire. Today, SoftBank’s industries have completed the layout of the future of the new Internet field as Sun Zhengyi said in the past, and completed more than half of the investment of unicorn companies on a global scale, laying a foundation for the subsequent development of the IOTs in the world.
As a world-renowned “Animation Kingdom”, Japan has an irreplaceable influence in the global animation field. After half a century of development, the Japanese animation industry has formed an extremely large system, making Japan the world’s largest animation production and exporting country, and it also around animation IP to derive cultural and creative products, such as GK. With the development of smart technology, they also work hard in the direction of intelligence for GK. Headquartered in Japan, SoftBank has a unique geographical location and is deeply immersed in Japanese IP culture. This collaboration with AOS will further promote the combination of the GK industry and the AIindustry, and provide AOS with a steady stream of IP resources. Users’ favorite characters such as Luffy, Conan, Sailor Moon, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Inuyasha, etc., can inject their image and personality into AI to create your smart figure. Each AI figure is a unique individual, and different parameters also create different expressions and styles. At the same time, when users have more exchanges with AI, they will gradually become familiar with the user’s temper and preferences and adjust their apparent personality in real-time and dynamically making it infinitely close to the form that we want to see eventually.
The product made by a single company is not enough to be called a Metaverse but constitutes an ecological system. With the deep participation of users, if it is successful in collective efforts to build a more interoperable system, and it can be transformed into different layers, then it should be called a Metaverse. AOS is committed to becoming the link between the physical world and the virtual world, as a bridge between various Metaverses to connect the Metaverse and continue to build a new Metaverse ecology. This will be the top priority in the next stage of the development of the Internet after the mobile Internet.
What kind of world will mankind be in the future? SoftBank Asia and AOS have worked together because of the same concept for Metaverse and jointly created such a grand concept, standing at the forefront of the Metaverse economic tide, seizing opportunities, embracing the new future, and believing that with their win-win cooperation, they will give a perfect answer for the world.

Post Oak Group Champions Partner-Led Execution as the New Standard for Middle-Market M&A Advisory
Post Oak Group, named Texas’s top middle-market investment bank, is advancing a senior-led advisory model that closes a structural gap in mid-market M&A.
Houston, Texas, United States, 14th Jul 2026 – Post Oak Group, a leading middle-market investment bank recently named the best middle-market investment bank in Texas, is advancing a model of senior-led advisory that it says addresses a structural gap in how middle-market transactions are handled, one that has persisted for years across the broader investment banking industry.
The firm, which has completed more than $82 billion in transactions across 12 countries, points to a well-documented dynamic in institutional banking: as deal size increases, so does the seniority of the team assigned to it. Middle-market mandates, by contrast, are routinely handed to less experienced professionals at large banks, where the economics of the engagement do not justify deploying a firm’s most senior talent.
For founders, family-owned businesses, and private equity-backed companies operating in this segment, the consequences are tangible. Deals that lack experienced leadership at the table are more vulnerable to valuation compression, process breakdowns, and failed closings, outcomes that can carry significant financial and personal consequences for the principals involved.
As one of the most connected investment banks to family offices and venture capital firms globally, Post Oak Group was built to operate differently. Every client engagement at the firm is led by senior partners who remain actively involved from the initial mandate through closing. There are no handoffs to junior teams at critical stages. No loss of continuity as a deal moves from origination into diligence and negotiation. The same professionals who understand a client’s business at the outset are the ones executing on their behalf when it matters most.
“Founders and shareholders in the middle market are navigating some of the most consequential decisions of their careers,” said David Chua, one of the key co-founders and managing partners at the Post Oak Group. “They deserve a senior banker who is present for the entire process, not just the pitch.”
The partner-led model is supported by a platform built to handle institutional-complexity transactions. Post Oak Group’s advisory services span mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, growth equity raises, recapitalizations, and cross-border deals. The firm employs approximately 300 professionals across advisory, execution, research, and operations, with a leadership team carrying more than 250 years of combined experience across market cycles, deal structures, and international jurisdictions.
That depth of experience translates directly into client outcomes. Middle-market companies engaging Post Oak Group gain access to a proprietary network of institutional investors, private equity sponsors, and strategic buyers that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to reach independently. The firm’s cross-border capabilities, spanning transactions across 12 countries, further extend that access for clients with international dimensions to their business or their deal.
The middle market represents a significant and growing share of M&A activity in the United States. Yet it remains a segment where the quality of advisory services varies widely, and where the gap between what clients need and what they receive is most pronounced. Post Oak Group’s position is that this gap is not inevitable; it is the product of how most advisory firms are structured, and it can be closed by firms that choose to build differently.
Post Oak Group has been recognized as the Best Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas and continues to expand its domestic and international advisory presence.

MEXC Reports 7.1 Billion USDT in SpaceX Futures Volume as Q2 Closes the Gap to Wall Street
Victoria, Seychelles, July 14th, 2026, Chainwire
MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, today released its Ecosystem & Growth Report for the second quarter of 2026. In Q1, users mostly bought gold and other hedges against macro risk. In Q2, their attention turned to AI projects and US stocks, and MEXC spent the quarter building products for exactly that demand.
Users can now back a company before its IPO, trade stock futures on it, hold tokenized shares, and buy real US stocks and ETFs, all inside one MEXC account. Every piece of that path launched or grew during the quarter.
SpaceX was still a private company when MEXC ran two SPACEX(PRE) subscription rounds. More than 74,000 entries put over 173 million USDT into them, and demand for the second round reached more than 30 times the amount on offer. That demand mirrors a wider market trend: CoinGecko reports that tokenized pre-IPO trading volume surged 1,060%, with SpaceX accounting for the largest share of activity.
The company then completed the largest IPO on record on June 12. Users kept trading it on MEXC after the listing, and SpaceX perpetual futures collected more than 7.1 billion USDT in volume in the weeks that followed. One name went from private to public within a quarter, and users traded at every stage.
RealStocks launched on June 1 and added the last piece, real shares. Eligible users buy actual US stocks and ETFs through a licensed securities broker partner, and the shelf covers more than 7,000 names.
More than 120,000 users signed up in the first month, and over half of the new accounts moved on to a first deposit. By June 18, the product had settled dividends on 34 stocks and ETFs, the kind of payout only real share ownership carries.
Micron’s June earnings lifted trading volume in its MEXC futures by approximately 142% in a single day. The activity spilled into related AI memory names, SanDisk, SK hynix, and a DRAM ETF. One earnings report moved a whole supply chain on the platform, because users now trade US market news the moment it breaks.
“My first quarter as CEO had one goal, and that was to move MEXC from a crypto exchange toward a gateway for every market users care about,” said Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC. “Q2 put real numbers behind the word gateway, from Pre-IPO demand to actual dividend payouts.”
The quarter’s ten biggest new-token gainers averaged +4,956%, and six of the ten were AI agent projects. Only one meme coin made the list, a clear reversal of the first quarter, when memes ran the gain rankings.
The AI winners build practical systems. They settle transactions between agents, place trades for retail users, and verify identities, so the money went to projects that already do that work. The most-traded list leaned the same way, with four AI and infrastructure names to three meme names.
During the quarter, MEXC appointed Vugar Usi as Chief Executive Officer and marked its 8th anniversary with a brand upgrade built on two promises: 0 Fees and Infinite Opportunities. The upgrade marks the company’s move from a traditional exchange toward a universal gateway for global markets.
A partnership brought the USD1 stablecoin into MEXC’s trading and product suite, and the first USD1 event drew more than 161,000 participants, with new users alone pushing $2.4 billion through futures. A TradingView integration now sends perpetual futures orders straight from the chart, so users move from analysis to execution without a tab change.
The Prediction Market added a Combo feature on June 9, which folds several event predictions into a single position. Average daily volume in the Prediction Market grew more than 6,700% from early to late June, and daily users rose more than 3,200%.
The June Proof of Reserves put the average reserve ratio at 156.5%, which means the platform holds more assets than users have deposited, with Bitcoin backed at 269%. Between May and June, the risk team identified 4,394 illicit networks; a separate intervention effort blocked roughly 303,000 USDT in suspected fraudulent transfers.
The full Q2 report, with the complete token tables, product data, and community programs, is available here.
About MEXC
MEXC is the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, trusted by more than 40 million users across 170+ markets. Built on a user-first philosophy, MEXC offers industry-leading 0-fee trading and access to over 3,000 digital assets. As the Gateway to Infinite Opportunities, MEXC provides a single platform where users can easily trade cryptocurrencies alongside tokenized assets, including stocks, ETFs, commodities, and precious metals.
