Fraktiq Debuts its Flagship Project “Baoyue Vase NFT” *

HONG KONG, Aug 3, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Fraktiq, the world's first blockchain platform for fractionalized historical artifacts, is pleased to announce the debut of its flagship project and the offering details of the "Baoyue Vase NFT". To raise public awareness and appreciation of the artifact's cultural value, a VIP appreciation session of the "Blue and White Phoenix Vase" ("Baoyue Vase") was held on 26 and 27 July 2022 at Wanchai. Celebrities, professional investors and media representatives were invited to get a first glimpse of the true colors of the artifact made during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, which is part of Fraktiq's effort in promoting the appreciation of the historical artworks, as well as the story and cultural heritage behind the masterpiece.

Fraktiq is co-founded by experts from art, finance and blockchain technology, dedicated to decentralize the art treasure market for collector's treasures items by using Non-Fungible Token ("NFT") technology, at the same time encouraging more digital collectors to manage and co-own the art piece together in the form of a Decentralized Autonomous Organization ("DAO") membership, so as to promote the historical backstories of the art treasures to the public while preserving Chinese culture.

"Hong Kong is the art hub of Asia, offering comprehensive valuation, auction, custodian and legal services, with an increasing number of individuals and professional investors participating in the field of historical and digital art, all these factors make Fraktiq the ideal ground to fulfill its mission.", said Louis Li, Co-founder of Fraktiq.

Fraktiq's first flagship project, "Baoyue Vase NFT", uses financial technology to lower the entry barrier of historical treasures collection. The "Baoyue Vase NFT" project offers the management rights of the Baoyue Vase in the form of 10,000 NFTs to the market. In which, 40% (4,000 pieces) of the NFTs will be available for professional investors from now until 18 August. During the public offering phase, starting from 19 August, 60% (6,000 pieces) of the NFTs will be available for the general public. Each NFT is priced at 1,050 USDC.

Randy, Co-founder of Fraktiq, said, "With reference to the auction price of a similar artifact of the Blue and White Phoenix Vase, that was sold at Sotheby's for over HK$100 million, the Baoyue Vase in this project is verified and valued at approximately HK$80 million by auction house. The Baoyue Vase NFT project is incorporated in the Marshall Islands as a DAO LLC, which provides legal protection to the project. In the future, we will register every artifact launched on the Fraktiq platform as a DAO LLC in the Marshall Islands to encourage participants to jointly manage and promote the cultural value of historical treasures."

To promote public awareness, the project team held a private appreciation session of the "Baoyue Vase" at Wanchai on 26 and 27 July, inviting celebrities and media representatives to have a first look at this historical masterpiece, which was made during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Louis Li said, "We believe that it is important to encourage more people to witness the unique charisma of the artifact in order to promote Chinese culture and art appreciation. Therefore, we shall arrange exhibitions in museums around the world. We are also donating 10% of the proceeds from the sale of the 'Baoyue Vase NFT' to charity, to support the promotion of historical art appreciation to the public and enable our next generation to better understand the splendor of history and culture."

*This information is intended for general purposes only and does not constitute any offer, solicitation or recommendation for any product

About Fraktiq
The world's first blockchain platform for fractionalized historical artifacts, Fraktiq provides a legally recognized and trusted way for the public to collectively own artifacts through blockchain technology. In doing so, it achieves two main missions:

Preserving precious artifacts for future generations

Artistic masterpieces record the history of humankind and highlight years of artistic achievement. They deserve to be cherished and protected.

Limited artifacts to meet infinite demand

The number of artworks with rich historical value is very limited. With the passage of time, they are prone to natural aging and thus, becoming increasingly rare. With blockchain technology, Fraktiq hopes to make rare artworks that exude artistic charisma and history last forever.

OctaFX celebrates 11 years in the financial markets

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – OctaFX is celebrating its 11th anniversary! Here's what the broker achieved over the years and the core elements of the brand philosophy that helped it along the way. The global broker OctaFX is bigger than ever before – all thanks to the support of its clients. Below are the main achievements OctaFX has managed to accomplish over the past eleven years.

Those above are the numbers. But what is behind them? OctaFX shares the core elements of its philosophy and how they help the broker make the investment journeys of its clients as smooth as possible.

OctaFX is always online. The broker has already processed 8.8 million requests and dedicated approximately 96,800,000 minutes to resolving issues and answering the questions of its clients honestly and openly.

OctaFX is always looking for ways to improve, and therefore analyses all feedback carefully. Identifying the problems traders face when using its services or functionality they wish the broker had is what guides OctaFX's development. Apart from other significant changes, it managed to decrease the average verification process to around three minutes, with 85% of clients passing it on the first time.

Constant change in the financial world is what keeps OctaFX agile and ready to transform and develop at all times. This approach resulted in releasing its own mobile trading and copytrading apps, adding a variety of popular financial instruments ranging from cryptocurrencies to stock indices, and developing a copytrading platform with unique features for finding and copying professional traders.

Data is what OctaFX is driven by. The broker is constantly conducting research and analysis of itself, learning about the latest financial technologies – all to make sure it provides the clients not only with the best trading conditions, but also with the cutting edge technical solutions.

OctaFX is focused on the goals of its clients, and that is why it tries to eliminate all the obstacles limiting their trading experience and keeping them from realising the full potential of their diverse approaches. To help its clients boost their trading and allow for a more effective use of long-term strategies, the broker decided to remove swaps entirely this May.

To become yet closer to its clients, OctaFX decided to rebrand and adopt a fresh new look: with refined colours, space-inspired elements, and a new logo.

"All our achievements and transformations would be meaningless without our clients. It is our clients who drive our growth and allow us to always move forward. It is our clients who inspire us to be current, dynamic, innovative, confident. We thank all of them for choosing us as their broker," the OctaFX press office commented.

To mark its eleventh anniversary, OctaFX has made its usually below-the-market spreads the lowest in the industry on the MT4 and MT5 platforms. The broker has reduced the spreads by 20% on XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, GBPJPY, USDCHF, XTIUSD, and US30, as well as by 25% on BTCUSD and ETHUSD.

About OctaFX

OctaFX is a global broker providing online trading services worldwide since 2011. It offers everything one needs to reach their investment goals, providing top-notch conditions utilised already by clients from over 150 countries worldwide. The company is involved in a comprehensive network of charity and humanitarian initiatives, including improvement of educational infrastructure, short-notice relief projects, supporting local communities and small to medium enterprises. On a side note, OctaFX has also won more than 45 awards since its foundation, including the 2021 'Best Forex Broker Asia' award from Global Banking & Finance Review and 2021 'Best ECN Broker' award by World Finance. www.octafx.com

SESAMi launches innovative e-financing marketplace amidst rising loan interest rates for businesses

SINGAPORE, Jul 27, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – SESAMi has successfully launched a collaboration with its 5 banking partners including OCBC, CIMB and Linklogis to enable suppliers using its platform to get paid immediately on their outstanding invoices and purchase orders.

Simplified Onboarding

SESAMi will be reaching out to the supplier community to initiate this program. "The funding process will be massively sped up through leveraging on our Early Payment System (EPS), which was launched earlier this year for the SESAMi supplier community. With the digital financing program, suppliers only need to submit minimal documents to be on-boarded under the program," said Sharath Singh, Commercial Director for SESAMi.

Competitive Pricing

The marketplace will allow suppliers to pick and choose the financing partner best suited to their needs. The financing partners will, on the other hand, leverage on the data provided by SESAMi's e-procurement system to make faster and more accurate credit decisions in real time, allowing the suppliers to gain access to financing at a lower interest rate than the conventional products offered off the shelf. "Customer experience remains key to this initiative whilst we also acknowledge the local businesses priorities is to keep their costs low. This marketplace will give them the best of both worlds," added Mr Ong Teck Soon, SESAMi Holding's Chairman and Group CEO.

Digital Financing Partners

Linklogis

Founded in 2016 with major shareholders such as Tencent, Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC), and Standard Chartered Bank, Linklogis is one of the largest supply chain finance technology service providers in the world. Linklogis was successfully listed on the main board of HKEX in April of 2021 as the first supply chain finance technology SaaS enterprise listed in China. On 3rd June 2022, Green Link Digital Bank (GLDB), founded by a consortium comprising Linklogis and Greenland Group, commenced banking business as one of the first Digital Wholesale Banks with official approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

Eager to bring cutting-edge financial technology and experience in serving SMEs to Singapore, Mr. Raymond Yeo, Director and Head of Business Development of Linklogis Singapore, said, "This is an exciting opportunity for Linklogis to introduce itself to the local SME market. We hope to showcase our dynamic tech-focused platform to the suppliers within SESAMi's eco-system and provide a seamless user experience across all stages of the financing process."

OCBC Bank

OCBC Bank is the longest established Singapore bank, formed in 1932 from the merger of three local banks, the oldest of which was founded in 1912. Recognised for its financial strength and stability, OCBC Bank is consistently ranked among the World's Top 50 Safest Banks by Global Finance and has been named Best Managed Bank in Singapore by The Asian Banker.

Mr Eric Ong, Senior Vice President, Global Commercial Banking, for OCBC remarked, "The trade data made available from SESAMi allows the bank to leverage on an alternative source of data for credit assessment. By using this data, SME customers no longer need to go through an onerous loan application process and are able to obtain funds much faster."

OctaFX announces visual rebranding, adopts space-inspired design system

KUALA LUMPUR, Jul 26, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – 11 years of providing brokerage services marks an important milestone for OctaFX. For the first time, the broker decided to hold a visual rebranding.

Over more than a decade, OctaFX has managed to accomplish numerous achievements. Today, clients from over 150 countries have opened more than 12 million trading accounts with the broker. To become even closer to its clients, OctaFX decided to adopt a fresh new look: with refined colours, space-inspired elements, and a new logo.

The concept

The main concept behind the rebranding reflects the broker's mission: OctaFX exists to ensure everyone can achieve their investment goals.

"We picture goals as stars in the broad universe of finance. Each one represents a unique combination of needs and desires of a particular person. The journey towards the investment goal isn't always easy – there are many obstacles on the way. To overcome them, traders need an optimal set of both analytical and financial instruments, as well as a reliable partner. We are here to provide them with everything necessary to make effective trading decisions and achieve their investment goals. All the elements of our new design system convey this message in a simple, yet illustrative way," the OctaFX press office commented.

The logo

The two orbits forming OctaFX's new logo reflect the all-encompassing support it provides for traders on the journey towards their goals. The orbits cross each other to create the word 'fx' that highlights an important part of the company name.

The elements

The elements constituting the new visual identity are all built around centre-oriented forces and objects, such as orbits and rays, reflecting the broker's continued focus on the investment goals of its clients.

The colours

The colour palette of deep blues and intense oranges gives vibrancy to the new brand design, emphasising the confidence, dynamism, and readiness to change.

The transformation

The financial world is changing rapidly. New challenges emerge every day, and OctaFX is ready to evolve and transform in response, all to meet and exceed the expectations of its clients. The new branding was created to express that.
