PANAMA CITY, FLA, Jan 5, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Bracket Labs completed a $2 million pre-seed fundraise round to support the launch of “Passage,” a volatility trading product available on the project’s BracketX trading platform. The debut of the range-bound product makes trading long and short volatility entirely on-chain easy for traders of all levels.
In June 2023, Bracket Labs completed Binance Labs’ Season 5 Incubation Program and received investment from Binance Labs. In addition to completing the Incubation Program, Bracket Labs completed its pre-seed investment round from other notable crypto funds such as NGC Ventures, Cypher Capital, 0x Capital, PHD Capital, FJ Labs, SCC Investments, K300 Ventures, Scope Research, W3Coin Ventures, Titan Equity Group and Bitfund DAO.
“We are deeply impressed by their innovative approach to on-chain volatility trading. Creating volatility products that are approachable by traders of all skill levels is no small feat. The next generation of DeFi users will demand advanced products alongside a simple interface, and Bracket is the obvious choice. We are proud to partner with Bracket,” said Chris Miller, NGC Ventures.
“The market has limited tools for trading volatility on-chain. We had to get creative in order to build a new product that appealed to traders of all skill levels and stood out from the existing DEXs and perps exchanges in the market. Passage is our answer,” said Pelli Wang, Co-Founder and COO of Bracket Labs. “We were able to create a new and exciting trading platform that abstracted away all of the complexities of derivatives and options math.”
Across crypto, blue chip assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) often exhibit extended periods of sideways movement punctuated by spikes in volatility. Built on Arbitrum, BracketX is the first on-chain trading product for range-bound derivatives. The Passage product uses a proprietary dynamic volatility model that automatically adjusts volatility ranges based on market conditions, giving traders a way to trade volatility without bias for price direction.
One of Passage’s standout features is its simplicity. Traders can easily set a range, take the “Stay In” or “Breakout” side of the trade, and lock in leverage of 200% over a two-day term. Passage also introduces a limit order book and vault to improve liquidity in the market.
The Bracket Labs team includes senior-level veterans of D.E Shaw, Merrill Lynch, Barclays, Bloomberg, Consensys, and DeerCreek. Bracket Labs was launched in 2023 and has established a track record of bringing accessible and efficient decentralized tools to market for users of all skill levels.
Passage launches with ETH-denominated markets and plans to incorporate liquid-staked tokens in the future. Passages will also deploy on BNB Chain in 2024 as well.

NEW YORK, Dec 21, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The United Nations Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Dynamic Coalition on Blockchain Assurance & Standardizationannounces the initiation of a groundbreaking project aimed at establishing a Distributed Autonomous Organization (DAO). The pilot project is a collaborative effort showcasing how public sector organizations can leverage blockchain technology and DAO principles to foster transparent, rules-based, and high-integrity governance structures.
UN – IGF Dynamic Coalitions are multistakeholder groups operating within the framework of the UN Internet Governance Forum, addressing specific issues related to internet governance. These coalitions are independent entities within the UN-IGF and bring together diverse stakeholders to collaborate on focused topics, fostering dialogue and producing outputs such as reports and guidelines.
A Distributed Autonomous Organization (DAO) is an organization governed by a set of rules encoded as smart contracts on a blockchain, operating on principles of decentralization and automation. In a DAO, decision-making and governance processes are encoded into smart contracts on a blockchain, enabling members to participate in the organization’s activities without the need for traditional hierarchical structures. DAOs typically utilize digital tokens for voting and decision-making, and their rules are transparently and immutably recorded on the blockchain. This decentralized approach aims to create trust, transparency, and efficiency, allowing members to collectively manage resources, make decisions, and execute actions based on predefined rules without the need for centralized control.
According to one of the groups co-leaders, Mr. Dino Cataldo Dell’Accio who also is the CIO of the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund, “This initiative signifies a pivotal step toward establishing innovative and secure governance models, ensuring that blockchain technology can be harnessed for the benefit of public sector organizations. The UN IGF DC-BAS remains committed to fostering collaboration, transparency, and the responsible adoption of emerging technologies.”
The Dynamic Coalition is hosted by the Government Blockchain Association (GBA), a non-profit that helps the public and private sector connect, communicate, and collaborate. The GBA provides the infrastructure support for the organization. The Dynamic Coalition is also co-led by the GBA Executive Director, Gerard Dache and along with Mr. Dino Cataldo Dell’Accio, they lead a public, open forum multi-stakeholder coalition from around the world that meets on a monthly basis.
The technology being used for this pilot project is donated by a GBA member, Gosh, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution that allows developers to run smart contracts on-chain for free. The pilot will also liaise with other GBA working groups, including:

Esteemed business leaders and distinguished speakers who graced the conference stage included Bernard Charnwut Chan, GBM, GBS, JP., Chairman of M+ Museum Ltd, Duncan Chiu, Legislative Council Member, Technology & Innovation Constituency, Cathy Jiang, Tax and China Business Advisory Services Partner of PWC China, Vivien Khoo, Chairwoman & Co-founder of Asia Crypto Alliance, Alvin Kwock, Co-Founder of OneDegree Group, Gary Liu, Co-Founder & CEO of Terminal 3, King Leung, Head of Financial Services and Fintech of InvestHK, Irene Lee, Board Member of Fintech Association of Hong Kong, Michael Lee, Chief Operations Officer of FWD Hong Kong & Macau, Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, Andini Makosinski, inventor, writer and global keynote speaker and Naomi Osaka, Four-time Grand Slam Tennis Champion.

The diverse perspectives shared during the event provided attendees with bold and valuable insights that will shape their understanding of the current and future business landscape.
Hong Kong’s advantages won’t gone with its position as a testing ground for China
Mr. Bernard Charnwut Chan, GBM, GBS, JP., Chairman of M+ Museum Ltd, shared about his view on Hong Kong’s competitiveness and said, “Hong Kong’s future is always about adding value to China, and we have been doing that for decades. Hong Kong serves as a testing ground for China, where we can afford to try new ideas, make mistakes, and learn from them while containing their impact. If these new ideas prove successful, they can be adopted by the country.”
Innovation should not be burdened by unnecessary restrictions, but it is essential to establish appropriate legislation when it comes to financial transactions
Mr. Duncan Chiu, Legislative Council Member, Technology & Innovation Constituency, shared his thoughts on the changes that the financial sector has experienced due to the development of blockchain and fintech. He stated, “Technology will never go backward, once it’s been developed, it’ll only become better and better. Although blockchain technology has been in development for less than 20 years, it has already brought about significant transformations in the technology sector. Serving as a fundamental technology, it enables the tokenization of real-world assets and provides a secure means of storing data, conducting transactions and preserving value. In terms of policy and legislation side, we need to catch up with the development of technology, especially when it is related to investment.”
Anyone can be an inventor by attempting to solve problems, embracing the “what if I try” mindset, and pursuing ideas without fear of failure or loss
Ms. Andini Makosinski, inventor, writer and global keynote speaker, shared how she came up with innovative ideas, said, “I think innovative mindset is developed by making small changes in your life, and have that ‘I can solve this’ attitude. In order to give your brain that creative space and freedom, you have to be bored sometimes. When we are on our phones, there is constant stimulation happening but that does not encourage creativity or imagination.”
The implementation of tokenization and blockchain can serve as catalysts in elevating Hong Kong as an International Financial Centre
Mr. King Leung, Head of Financial Services and Fintech of InvestHK was asked about his advice for those seeking to drive innovation in their respective fields. He responded, “Based on my observations across various countries and markets, I have noticed that projects with a more diverse team have a higher chance of success. This can be attributed to the blend of great ideas, problem-solving approaches, and market insights that arise from such diversity. Therefore, it is crucial for entrepreneurs to maintain an open-minded attitude and embrace change.”
Following the Central Government’s assignment of the “eight centers” position to Hong Kong, the city is brimming with opportunities
On the opportunities in Hong Kong, Dr. Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, stated: “The dual circulation strategy of Mainland China plays to Hong Kong’s strengths and brings tremendous opportunities to our city. Hong Kong serves as a two-way business and investment hub, to which business leaders come to engage with not only local, but also mainland and international counterparts.”
The mental challenges faced by athletes were once regarded as weaknesses, but now they are becoming more openly discussed and acknowledged
Ms. Naomi Osaka, Four-time Grand Slam Tennis Champion, was asked about her motivation to expand her influence beyond the tennis court and embrace the role of a businesswoman. In response, she said, “I’ve always tried to come from a place of my culture, like being half-Japanese and half-Haitian and growing up in America. In that sense, Hana Kuma kind of sees things from my lens.” Speaking about her passion for mental health among athletes, she expressed, “I am really glad that tournaments are taking steps to address it, and it’s becoming a more comfortable topic to talk about.”
