Press Release
The master of Fintech, Marcus Lim has been appointed as the Chief Marketing Officer of Getty Group.
Recently, Marcus who is well-known in the financial industry has officially joined Getty Group as the Chief Marketing Director.
Getty Group was established in 2014 at the island country of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It has then embarked a subversive reformation in the financial industry. Since its establishment, Getty has integrated technology into the financial industry and successfully developed the oil price monitoring system ExypnOS 1.0 in 2015. The group also won the Excellent Brand of Worldwide Excellence Award 2018/19 for successfully developing the system. They have attributed their achievement to the excellent talents and teamwork.
Recruiting talents to build a high-quality financial technology platform
Getty Group, which focuses on talents, is committed to creating an excellent mechanism and a high-standard platform to attract outstanding talents. After deciding to enter the Asian market, Getty has been searching extensively but has not been able to find a talent who can take on the important role of the Asian regional director. It was not until the appearance of Marcus.
Marcus’s portfolio is very interesting. He was graduated from the Department of Marketing and Finance at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and has unique insights over the global markets and finance. In addition to the financial market, Marcus also has a strong interest in marketing, hence after graduation, he joined the insurance and real estate agency industries with organizational marketing as the development direction.
Although Marcus has a lot of experiences in leading the team and operations, as the era is evolving rapidly, the 90s and 00s have entered the trail. Marcus has gradually realized that the market has changed, the method that he has been using will soon reach the bottleneck. He then decided to go overseas to explore and get more inspiration from different field and industry. Coincidentally, Marcus was hired as a senior financial consultant for an international financial technology company, specifically responsible for business in the Asia-Pacific region, especially the Chinese market.
During the years in the Chinese market, Marcus broadened his horizons and witnessed the progress and popularization of China’s financial technology, as well as the bottlenecks and difficulties in the development of traditional finance. The experience of the past few years has made him more certain that the future will be an era dominated by financial technology, and the sharing model will be able to drive the development of financial technology towards globalization. Therefore, he resolutely set off the traditional financial technology company with high pays and turned to the digital finance industry, financial technology and blockchain fields, and participated in marketing efforts to drive the transformation of traditional finance into digital finance.
Artificial intelligence and data analysis create precise investment strategies
In terms of investment philosophy, Marcus is a value investor. “I hope to practice the long-term investment philosophy, based on in-depth fundamental research, and strive to select high-quality investment projects that can create long-term value through the comparison of the industrial characteristics of various economies. I believe that through the assistance of data analysis and artificial intelligence, the investment can become easier and able to earn a return on investment on a regular basis.”
“I mainly resist potential market risks by adjusting the combination of industries and style structures; of course, with the support of our company’s artificial intelligence system, our investment judgments will become more precise and accurate, and this is why I joined Getty Group because I believe in the future of financial technology and the bottomless development possibilities in it,” Marcus said.

AI Meets Arabic Literature: Qirtas App Unveils Scalable Publishing Infrastructure at Web Summit Qatar 2026
Doha, Qatar, 19th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Qirtas App, a dual-interface digital platform headquartered in Istanbul and Malmo, announced its mission to bridge the global gap in Arabic literature accessibility following its successful showcase in the Alpha Startup category at Web Summit Qatar. By integrating cutting-edge AI production tools with a seamless streaming interface, Qirtas is providing the technical infrastructure needed to digitize the fragmented $4 billion Arab publishing market.
Despite a global population of 430 million Arabic speakers, the publishing industry has long been hampered by prohibitive shipping costs, high piracy rates, and a lack of digital infrastructure. Qirtas App addresses these systemic barriers through a twofold solution: a freemium streaming platform for readers and a sophisticated digital management backend for publishers.
Empowering Publishers through the “AI Production Suite”
Qirtas is not merely a distributor; it is a catalyst for digital transformation. For traditional publishers, the platform offers a dedicated portal to convert physical catalogs into secure, monetizable digital assets.
AI-Automated Production: The platform utilizes proprietary AI to automatically generate high-quality audiobooks and smart summaries, drastically reducing the time and cost barriers that previously prevented publishers from entering the digital space.
Institutional Security: With advanced Digital Rights Management (DRM) and real-time reader analytics, publishers maintain full control over their intellectual property while gaining unprecedented insights into global consumption patterns.
The Future of the Arab Reading Experience
For the global Arab diaspora, Qirtas offers a comprehensive streaming library featuring Qirtas AI, an interactive reading assistant that provides instant translation, text-to-speech narration, and social integration.
“The Arab publishing world is rich in content but starved of modern distribution,” said Tamer Odeh, CEO of Qirtas App. “With Qirtas, we are removing the friction. We aren’t just giving readers an app; we are giving publishers the tools to survive and thrive in a digital-first economy.”
Alaa Barghouth, COO of Qirtas App, added: “Our participation in Web Summit Qatar has confirmed the massive appetite for this technology. We have already secured commitments from major publishing houses ready to onboard their catalogs. We are now focused on scaling our infrastructure to meet this demand.”
Market Opportunity & Investment
The digital publishing segment in the MENA region is currently valued at $400 million and is experiencing rapid year-over-year growth. Having validated its model with early industry commitments, Qirtas App is currently open for pre-seed investment to accelerate its market launch and expand its AI-driven production capabilities.

The BTCD Foundation has announced the upcoming deployment of its proprietary Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure. This development marks the introduction of a new technical framework designed to support decentralized applications and secure digital transactions. The Foundation has confirmed that the Public Testnet is scheduled to open for user participation on February 15, 2026.
Technical Architecture and Infrastructure
The BTCD platform is engineered as an independent Layer 1 blockchain, distinct from token-based projects that rely on existing third-party networks. The core infrastructure utilizes a hybrid consensus mechanism combining Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and Proof of Stake (PoS) protocols.
This architectural design is intended to address common scalability challenges in blockchain technology. The technical specifications indicate a capacity for high-volume throughput, with initial testing targeting transaction speeds of over 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) while maintaining sub-second finality. The system is built to operate autonomously, providing a decentralized foundation for developers and users.
Testnet Deployment and Minting Mechanism
Beginning February 15, 2026, the BTCD Foundation will initiate the Public Testnet phase. This phase allows users to interact with the network’s minting protocol to test system stability and performance.
The minting process follows a programmed algorithmic schedule designed to test the network’s long-term sustainability over a projected 25-year timeline. The protocol includes technical halving events scheduled every 2.5 years to regulate the issuance rate of digital assets on the network.
Transition to Mainnet
The Testnet phase is a precursor to the official Mainnet launch, which is currently scheduled for May 15, 2026. The Foundation has outlined a technical migration plan wherein digital assets minted during the Testnet phase will be recognized on the Mainnet system upon its activation.
Ecosystem Development Roadmap
Following the Mainnet launch, the BTCD Foundation plans to deploy a suite of decentralized applications (dApps) integrated directly into the Layer 1 core. The technical roadmap outlines the phased release of nine specific utilities, including:
- Nexora: A decentralized communication protocol.
- Guardian DEX: A decentralized exchange interface.
-
WealthBook: A social networking platform integrated with blockchain identity verification.
Future updates scheduled for later in 2026 involve the integration of automated trading algorithms and asset management utilities.
About BTCD Foundation
The BTCD Foundation is a technology organization focused on the development of Layer 1 blockchain solutions. It aims to build a scalable, secure, and decentralized infrastructure to support the next generation of digital applications.
