Press Release
What’s the NFT game Tencent & Alibaba Rush into?
In June 2021, Alibaba and Dunhuang Arts Institute jointly released two NFTs, Dunhuang Flying Sky and Nine Color Deer App skins, which were limited to 16,000 in the world. The works were looted as soon as they were released.
On June 26, 2021, NetEase and Nervina Labs released their first NFT work on Taobao.
On August 3, 2021, Chinese tech giant Tencent’s NFTs trading platform -Huanhe launched 300 copies “Vinyl Record NFT” authorized by TV program “Thirteen Invitations”, and sold out instantly.
Chinese giants’ capital is vying to chase, and it’s so fierce. So far people can’t help asking, what is NFT?
Meet NFT
NFT is short for Non-fungible Token，which is relative to the concept of Fungible Token (FT), each NFT has a unique and only identification, which is not interchangeable, and the smallest unit is 1 and indivisible.
Generally, BTC, ETH, etc. we familiar with are Fungible Token. For example, BTC everyone owns is same, it’s interchangeable with each other, can also be divided into 0.1, or 0.01 without affecting the value and use.
NFT represents indivisible and non-interchangeable items in reality, such as a real estate certificate, a famous painting, a piece of game equipment and so on. They are all unique, and completely lose their value and practicality after being divided. The most typical are collectibles and artworks. These products with non-fungible genes are digitized and tokenized using blockchain technology, and they have become popular NFTs today.
NFT is one and only
Economics stipulates that currency is a unity equivalent and a carrier of consensus on value. In modern society, personal wealth is no longer measured by currency holdings, but includes the value and quantity of assets under his name. Its assets include but not limited to items with market value such as houses, cars, stocks, etc. In most case, the value carried by an asset often far exceeds the value of the cash value they hold. However, real assets have two major shortcomings: poor liquidity and high cost of confirmation. For example, the determination of the right of a house needs to rely on the registration of the Housing Management Committee to determine the ultimate ownership of the house.
But in the blockchain world, the assets we currently have are BTC, ETH with currency attributes. After meeting demand for monetary assets, a value medium of non-monetary assets will naturally emerge, and this is NFT. Relying on the decentralization, immutability and cryptographic authentication of the blockchain, NFT solves a series of problems of real assets:
• The asset is unique and cannot be faked
• Strong liquidity, real-time trading;
• Cryptography is the confirmation and cannot be tampered with.
In addition, NFT also has features that cryptocurrency does not have. Its unique features can be used for identity certification, item ownership certification, virtual props, etc. NFT makes crypto assets more practical, enabling users to expand the utilization of valuable assets in the form of NFT, and is protected by blockchain technology.
NFT Boom Out
NFT is not a new thing born this year, it has made any public appearances early in 2017, but more regarded as a niche thing within Ethereum.
So, what is the real important promoter of NFT out of the circle?
First, let’s ask a question: How much would a digital picture be? The answer is $69.3 million！
On March 11, 2021, an unknown artist Beeple collaged his daily art work for the past thirteen years into a digital picture called “everyday: the first 5000 days”. At Christie’s, it was sold for $69.3 million, which shocked the world.
Overnight, NFT became the outlet. This 40-year-old American painter also made great fortune overnight. The popularity of NFT has caused a huge sensation in many fields such as art, venture capital, and finance.
Commercial filed such as NBA, Samsung, McDonald’s, Marvel, movie stars, etc. are all releasing their own NFT products, and venture capital industry such as Three Arrows Capital, Signum Capital, NGC Ventures, Coinbase, etc. have begun to invest in this field. Internet giants such as Tencent, JD, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are all laying out the NFT battlefield. The opportunities and challenges brought by NFT are more than that brought by the mobile Internet to the Internet.
From the perspective of business history, iPhone, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. were initially used by industry insiders. After going out of the circle by marketing, products, and the trend of the times, the entire society began to accept them, and they evolved from product for a specific group into mass infrastructure. Although the development of NFT is still at an early stage, the boom out of NFT will continue the historical trajectory and accelerate the application of blockchain technology. It is of great significance for promoting the digitalization of society.
NFT Bright Future
Except crypto artworks, will NFT have wider applications? We can find that NFT will be widely used in the future. For example, the recent popular NFT+DeFi and NFT+game, as well as the concept of meta-universe, are inseparable from the future development of NFT. The physical application of NFT will solve many problems for the society, such as:
First, intellectual property. NFT can represent a painting, a song, a patent, a film, a photo, or other intellectual property rights. NFT can help each unique thing to register the copyright and help it identify the patent.
Second, physical assets. Real estate such as houses and other physical assets are digitized through NFT. It can be used in financial markets such as the circulation of assets.
Third, records and identification. The unique features of NFT, can be used to verify identity and birth certificates, driver’s licenses, academic certificates, etc., to prevent abuse or tampering.
There will be many physical applications of NFT in the future, which will surely solve various practical problems for the society. Presumably this is the ultimate goal of various giant capitals. As the world’s first physical digital economy token trading platform-BtLux Exchange focuses on the implementation of blockchain scenarios that are closely related to people’s lives.
Different from other cryptocurrencies with no entity value support, BtLux regards the underlying innovation of the blockchain as an important breakthrough in the independent innovation of core technology, and takes the use of blockchain to trade, calculate, and record to promote real economic activities on the chain under supervision. At the same time, realize the market operation and value management of digital assets after the certification, redefine the interest distribution relationship of producers, consumers and participants, and form a brand new financial and business model.
Soon, BtLux will accelerate the integration of NFT and physical enterprises based on years of experience in the implementation of blockchain physical scenarios, provide top-level business architecture design and digital economic model design for physical enterprises, and jointly build “blockchain” + “new ecology”, So that participants in the entire chain can benefit. It would bring tangible benefits to the real economy and the entire society, and be widely recognized by the society, making digital currency a living water, flowing in the real economy, and bringing benefits to the real economy more vitality and new power.
NFT is a new world brought about by the technological explosion era, and the digitalization process of the real world in the next ten years will also be greatly accelerated. In the future, only when NFT accelerates the deep integration of the real economy and the digital economy, the technological value of the blockchain will gradually emerge in this process. It will be able to bring new business models and reconstruct distribution models, market structures, organizational forms, and industry relationships to promote human beings to a new era of digital civilization, and in that, BtLux will become an indispensable promoter.

TerraMaster updates TerraSync with on-demand data synchronization for Mac and new file-sharing features to improve collaboration and storage efficiency.
Milano, Milano, Italy, 21st Oct 2026 — TerraMaster today announced a major update to TerraSync, introducing integrated file-sharing capabilities and on-demand synchronization for the Mac version of TNAS PC. This update simplifies file sharing for home users, content creators, and business teams while reducing the amount of local storage space required for large file collections on Mac computers.
All-in-One File Sharing for Seamless Collaboration
TerraSync’s new file-sharing feature allows users to share files directly from My Files or Team Folders, eliminating the need to repeatedly download and transfer files.
Users can share files directly with specific users or groups, assigning permissions such as preview, view, or manage access as needed. They can also grant access through two types of links: internal sharing links, accessible only within the local network, and external sharing links generated through TNAS.online.
External sharing also allows users to configure access permissions, passwords, and expiration dates, making file distribution and collaboration across teams more secure and flexible.
TerraSync also supports integration with OnlineOffice, enabling users to collaboratively edit popular Office file formats online and track or restore file changes through version history. This feature requires installing the corresponding application from the NAS Application Center.
On-Demand Sync for Mac Frees Up Local Storage Space
With limited SSD capacity and ever-growing collections of photos, videos, and project files, Mac users often struggle to store large amounts of data locally. The new on-demand synchronization feature eliminates the need to download an entire file collection to the computer.
Once enabled, users can browse remote file folders locally and download individual files only when needed. Cached files can be manually removed after use, while the system can automatically free up cached storage space when local storage is running low.
The feature supports both two-way synchronization and one-way download modes, allowing users to conveniently access their files while managing local storage space more efficiently.
All-in-One Synchronization, Backup, and Version Management
TerraSync supports file synchronization across Windows, Mac, and Linux, offering two-way synchronization, one-way upload, and one-way download modes, along with automatic, manual, and scheduled backups.
File version management supports up to 32 versions, with customizable cleanup rules.
To ensure data security, TerraSync continues to provide SSL-encrypted data transmission, personal and team folder permissions, and activity logs, helping users better manage and protect their data.
By bringing together file synchronization, backup, sharing, and version management, TerraSync continues to expand the file management capabilities of TerraMaster NAS devices, delivering a more flexible cross-device collaboration experience for individual users, content creators, and business teams.
TerraMaster is a professional brand specializing in innovative storage solutions for home, business, and professional users. With a strong focus on performance, reliability, and user experience, TerraMaster delivers cutting-edge NAS and DAS products designed to meet a wide range of data storage needs.

Press Release
Injective Collaborates with BDACS to Bring Korea’s First Won-Backed Stablecoin to Onchain RWAs
Seoul, South Korea, October 20th, 2026, FinanceWire
Today, Injective is proud to announce that it has partnered with BDACS, the issuer of KRW1, Korea’s first stablecoin fully backed by the Korean won. Under a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed by both companies, the two teams will work together to establish KRW1 as the first won-denominated settlement asset for real-world assets (RWAs) and tokenization use cases within the Injective ecosystem.
The cooperation brings together a fully reserved won stablecoin and a blockchain purpose-built for finance, with a focus on institution-ready use cases for won-denominated onchain markets.
A Won-Denominated Settlement Layer for Onchain Finance
Stablecoins have become the settlement layer of onchain finance. Total supply across onchain markets reached a record $322 billion in May 2026, and Citi projects $1.9 trillion by 2030 in its base case.
Nearly all of that supply is denominated in dollars. In Korea, that gap shows up as capital leaving the country. Korea’s five major exchanges have posted 18 straight months of net stablecoin outflows to offshore platforms since January 2025. The total is about 14.9 trillion won, or roughly $10.4 billion. Korean investors want onchain markets, and many would prefer to access them in won.
Korea is one of the most active digital asset markets in the world, yet tokenized assets in Korea have largely lacked one key piece. They have had no way to settle onchain in Korean won. Without a KRW settlement asset, tokenized products are typically priced and settled in USD stablecoins, which adds FX exposure for Korean institutions and investors.
KRW1 was designed to fill that gap. Issued by BDACS, KRW1 is fully backed 1:1 by the Korean won. Minting and redemption will be available to approved institutional partners, subject to regulatory approval.
The timing matches Korea’s policy direction. The government aims to finalize the Digital Asset Basic Act, the legal framework for won stablecoin issuance, by the end of 2026. The Bank of Korea has pushed for banks to anchor that market.
Collaboration Overview
Bringing KRW1 to Injective opens the door to won-denominated finance onchain.
- A native Korean won onchain. KRW1 joins the Injective ecosystem, giving builders and institutions a fully reserved won stablecoin alongside Injective’s native dollar-denominated USDC stablecoin issued alongside Circle.
- KRW markets for tokenized assets. Tokenized RWAs on Injective will be able to trade and settle directly in Korean won, without routing through USD.
- A path onchain for Korean institutions. BDACS and Injective will work with Korean financial institutions to bring their assets onchain, settled in KRW1.
- Compliance built into every asset. Assets issued through Injective Mint carry holder, jurisdictional, and transfer controls at the protocol level, so won-settled markets can be configured around each issuer’s requirements.
- Growing Korea’s onchain economy. Joint initiatives will expand KRW1 adoption across the Injective ecosystem and the Korean community.
“Bringing a Korean won settlement layer onchain is an important step for tokenized finance in Korea,” said Eric Chen, Co-founder of Injective. “Together with BDACS, we are building the foundation for Korean won markets onchain, from tokenized RWAs to institutional settlement.”
Injective’s Infrastructure for Tokenized Finance
Injective is purpose-built for finance, with native infrastructure for trading, tokenization, and stablecoins. More than $7.5 billion in RWA volume has been processed on Injective, and more than $1 billion in tokenized assets have been issued on the network.
Korea’s largest companies are already building on it. In July 2026, POSCO International, South Korea’s largest trading company, and LG CNS, the technology arm of LG Group, selected Injective to issue, transfer, administer, and settle live trade receivables generated by international commerce. Four Pillars, the Korean research and infrastructure firm, operates an institutional validator on the network.
Recent milestones include Injective Institutional Services becoming an SEC-registered transfer agent and Pineapple Financial tokenizing more than $1 billion in mortgage records onchain. Injective’s native USDC stablecoin issued by Circle is now set to be the canonical stablecoin standard for more than 20 blockchains including Cosmos and dYdX, cementing Injective’s position at the center of onchain stablecoins.
“Without onchain won infrastructure, demand in tokenized markets will remain anchored to dollar stablecoins,” said Harry Ryoo, CEO of BDACS. “Through our partnership with Injective, we will explore how KRW1 can serve as a won settlement asset for tokenized markets, and we will expand our collaboration step by step as Korea’s regulatory framework develops.”
This makes Injective a natural environment to test how a won stablecoin can support compliant tokenized asset markets, from issuance through secondary trading.
Next Steps for KRW1 Integration
This initiative marks the first step towards bringing native Korean won markets on Injective, with more to come as Korean institutions bring their assets onchain. This will directly be implemented across Injective’s wide array of onchain markets with further updates expected as specific use cases go live.
About BDACS
BDACS is a leading digital asset infrastructure company providing a Prime Custody Solution for corporate and institutional clients. In the first half of 2026, BDACS surpassed 80 billion KRW in assets under custody, making it Korea’s largest digital asset custodian. A registered virtual asset service provider (VASP) with the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit, BDACS holds SOC 1, ISO 27001 and ISMS certifications. BDACS issued the world’s first Korean won stablecoin, KRW1. BDACS also maintains strategic partnerships with leading financial and Web3 companies.
About Injective
Injective is the first blockchain purpose-built for finance, enabling users, institutions, and AI agents to trade, tokenize, and transact at scale. Proudly made in America, Injective provides foundational blockchain infrastructure for global markets, with embedded financial primitives spanning stablecoins, real-world assets, payments, and programmable perpetuals through a unified onchain engine. Injective is used by Fortune 500 companies, banks, fintechs, and governments to power an open economy where any asset can be accessed anytime, from anywhere.

The 2026 AI Shopping Agent Awards scored eight AI shopping tools on checkout savings, and Saparo received 390 of 400 points across four published criteria.
United States, 20th Oct 2026, Grand Newswire – SAN FRANCISCO, October 14, 2026 — The AI Shopping Assistant Institute (bestaishoppingassistant.com) today announced the results of its 2026 Best AI Shopping Agent Awards and recognized Saparo (saparo.ai) with the 2026 award. The ranking reviewed the public documentation of eight AI shopping tools. It scored each tool on how well it helps a shopper pay the lowest honest price for a product they have already chosen, while keeping the shopper in control of the payment. All scores and the full rubric are published at bestaishoppingagent.com.
Disclosure
The AI Shopping Assistant Institute and the Best AI Shopping Agent Awards are operated by the clawbot.ai editorial team. Saparo is not owned or operated by the Institute or by clawbot.ai. Every score is published with its documentation sources so readers can check the results themselves.
How the Tools Were Scored
The editorial panel reviewed each tool’s public documentation. Tools were scored from 0 to 100 on four dimensions: Savings Depth, Price Transparency, Checkout Control and Retailer Reach. Each total is the unweighted sum of the four, built from twenty documentation checks.
How Saparo Compared With the Field
Saparo scored 100 on Savings Depth, 100 on Price Transparency, 100 on Checkout Control and 90 on Retailer Reach, for a total of 390.
Why Saparo Scored 390 of 400
Saparo was the only tool in the field whose documentation met all four criteria:
- Savings Depth: It compares promo codes, cashback, card rewards and gift-card discounts in a single view, rather than handling only one type of saving.
- Price Transparency: It shows every line of the final price, including shipping and tax, before the shopper commits.
- Checkout Control: It hands account, CAPTCHA and payment steps back to the shopper, and card numbers are entered on the merchant’s own checkout page.
- Retailer Reach: It compares the same product across several retailers.
According to Saparo’s documentation, the agent tests promo codes, compares cashback and card rewards, and weighs gift-card routes. It then presents the result as one readable checkout plan. The shopper reviews each discount line and approves the payment personally.
“Checkout savings come from several places at once: codes, cashback, card rewards and gift cards,” said Michael of the AI Shopping Assistant Institute’s editorial panel. “We scored tools on whether they put those side by side, show the full final price and leave the payment decision with the shopper. Saparo met all four criteria, and that is reflected in its score of 390.”
What the Ranking Covers
The ranking is an editorial assessment of each tool’s publicly documented capabilities, scored against a published rubric. It evaluates checkout savings specifically. It does not rate product discovery and does not guarantee the price of any individual order.
