GenTwo Continues Growth Story, New Inflows of Over US$1 Billion

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, Feb 1, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The international securitization specialist GenTwo celebrates its 5th anniversary and looks back on a fast-paced development. In 2022 the number of new products increased by 60% and international business doubled.

The business momentum of GenTwo and its subsidiary GenTwo Digital has progressively picked up since the company was founded 5 years ago in February 2018. The products issued on its platform recorded over USD 1 billion in new inflows, resulting in a surge in assets under services growth to USD 2.5 billion as of today, despite the challenging market environment in 2022.

The number of new products increased by 60% to a total of 900. This impressive growth underpins the ongoing high level of interest in alternative and digital investments among institutional clients around the world and Gen Two's expertise to provide flexible portfolio structuring for investors.

"We were able to broaden our customer base once again in 2022 nationally and are currently servicing clients in over 25 countries. The number of clients grew by almost 50%, even 100% on an international level," says Philippe A. Naegeli,Co-Founder, and CEO.

This success is also based on a solidly developed and diverse workforce with an above-the-industry F/M gender ratio of 35:65, with 21 nationalities, totaling up to 70 employees.

Patrick Loepfe, Founder and Chairman of the Board says, "A 2022 highlight was the extension of the offering for financial intermediaries to retail investors. This move will transform the market for alternative and digital investment products and marks another pioneering achievement for GenTwo."

The main focus of 2023 remains on the continuous improvement and build-out of the service platform and its further digitization and client-centric automation. Additionally, the company pursues its international growth strategy by further internationalizing its customer base, onboarding more financial institutions onto its platform, and growing its ecosystem for investors and innovators.

ApexBrasil Agency and Alibaba Signed a Memorandum of Understanding

HONG KONG, Sep 6, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – The Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) held a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signing ceremony with Alibaba Group to deepen their cooperation on cross-border e-commerce platforms during the China International Fair for Trade in Services on September 3, 2022. Under the framework of the MoU, the two parties will expand cooperation and strengthen Brazilian enterprises' e-commerce, cross-border trade and digitalization, thus accelerating the deepening of digital cross-border trade, and creating more opportunities for Brazilian products to be exported to Asian and global markets through e-commerce.

Under the framework of the MoU, the "Made in Brazil" national pavilion will be launched on Alibaba's international website. 100 local companies with e-commerce experience in the platform's hottest-selling industries will join "Made in Brazil" label, many of them receiving settlement support and subsidies from ApexBrasil. Alibaba.com provides exclusive services for operations as well as B2B distribution services for customized Brazilian exports. In addition, in order to cultivate Brazil's digital economy talents and support the development of the local e-commerce ecosystem, ApexBrasil and Alibaba agreed to jointly promote a digital economy training program in Brazil to educate Brazilian entrepreneurs as well as professionals and students in digital trade and relevant fields and provide a solid foundation for the industry's future development.

In 2021, Brazil's e-commerce sales increased by 35%. Brazilian companies' sales in China through Alibaba's e-commerce platform are projected to reach US$ 253 million, with food products particularly in high demand by Chinese consumers. ApexBrasil has established close cooperation with Alibaba. In addition to promoting Brazilian companies' global sales, ApexBrasil is also taking this opportunity to enhance Brazilian companies' understanding of the Chinese market and its opportunities, hence deepening their cooperation with Alibaba's retail channels. With continuous support, ApexBrasil is accelerating the digitalization and globalization of Brazilian SMEs and Brazilian companies are enthusiastic about joining Alibaba's e-commerce platforms. Since 2021, ApexBrasil has reached 370 Brazilian companies interested in selling through Alibaba.com with the Acceleration program in Digital Platforms.

The expanding cooperation between ApexBrasil and Alibaba over the years has carried out fruitful results. Since June this year, Brazilian companies and Alibaba successfully promoted the intention of 2 key companies to export their products to China, Brazilian specialty coffee SANTA MONIKA, a well-known Brazilian brand, and the juice brand NATURAL ONE. The signing and approval of the two contracts are expected to be completed in September with the first order placed in October. They will cooperate with Alibaba Group's hybrid (online and offline) platform to introduce Brazil's high-quality products to the Chinese market.

Lucas Fiuza, Business Director of ApexBrasil said: "ApexBrasil has been working diligently to promote international e-commerce so that Brazilian companies can expand their export options to include e-commerce. Specifically, I would like to highlight the successful projects we have started with Alibaba.com so that more Brazilian companies can learn how to use this international platform for selling their products. I would also like to send a special message to all companies who are following us. Brazil is the right place for your business, and ApexBrasil is how you find the best deals. Think Big, Think Brazil."

The Bazaars Project launches peer-to-peer marketplace app to Exchange goods, vehicles or property for crypto

British Virgin Islands, Jun 30, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – The Bazaars Project has launched its peer-to-peer marketplace app in the Apple App and Google Play stores. The app allows users to buy and sell goods, property, and vehicles with cryptocurrency. This milestone is significant for the Bazaars Project's mission to create a proof-of-stake blockchain network and a decentralized peer-to-peer marketplace.

"The crypto market value is more than $2 trillion. There are thousands of cryptocurrencies and most of their value so far has come from speculation and trading rather than their ability to be exchanged for any tangible goods or assets. The Bazaars Project is aiming to change this by providing a marketplace where people can buy and sell everyday products and valuable assets using cryptocurrency," said Cryptomoe, founder of the Bazaars Project.

The Bazaars Project has also launched BZR, its ERC20 token. The token is now available on the Uniswap exchange, with other exchanges coming soon. Token holders will earn a percentage of the transaction fees collected from the Bazaars marketplace.

Future phases of the project will enable users to create and deploy smart contracts and decentralized apps individually or in groups without the need for a third party.

The Bazaars marketplace app is not bound by national or regional borders. Customers can shop securely and privately from any location. The Bazaars app does not collect, store, or track sensitive data. Users can register using their mobile phone numbers and email addresses and the app will only collect information required by the app stores.

"We believe in a world where anyone can buy products privately and securely, no matter where they live or what currency they use. Payments need to be easy, instant, and private. And the ability to trade needs to be in the hands of buyers and sellers," added Cryptomoe. "The future of commerce is online, with crypto. Bazaars wants to help make crypto commerce a reality."

The Bazaars marketplace is using Coinbase Commerce for payments. Its delivery and logistics partner is Aramex, a global provider based in the UAE, one of the worlds' largest trading hubs.

About Bazaars Project

The Bazaars Project was established in September 2021. It was set up by a group of experienced entrepreneurs and investors to provide a proof-of-stake decentralized blockchain network to drive crypto commerce adoption worldwide. Visit https://bazaars.io to learn more.

India / Malaysia, Aug 17, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – KGiSL, a global IT Products, Solutions, and Services provider, today announced the landmark contract that was won by KGiSL against significant competition from one of the largest stock exchanges in the ASEAN, The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). KGiSL will rollout Dolphin – a state of the art, cutting-edge technology back-office (BO) platform for brokers in Thailand. The platform will be hosted by SET and will be made available to brokers.

The new platform is set to become the one-stop-shop solution to the brokers of Thailand with its ability to handle multiple asset classes including Equities, Bonds, and Offshore Trading, for both retail and institutional brokers. The next generation technology platform has been tested for handling 5 million trades/ day and has the potential capability to scale vertically and horizontally, to support any increase in business volumes. Dolphin was chosen over the other leading global platforms, because it had a better fit to the requirements and also for the robustness, scalability, and automation capabilities, it offers.

Dr. Pakorn Peetathawatchai, President, The Stock Exchange of Thailand said, "This is one of our most ambitious and challenging projects to establish a common, streamlined infrastructure that will open up new possibilities for Thai brokers to revolutionize their back office business models.
