Abu Dhabi, UAE, May 22nd, 2026, Chainwire
Up to $10 million buyback program designed to strengthen long-term token circulation structure and support sustainable ecosystem operations.
Nexpace, the Abu Dhabi-based blockchain company behind MapleStory Universe (MSU), today announced the launch of an NXPC buyback program of up to $10 million.
The initiative is intended to reinforce a token circulation structure centered around real users and participation, while supporting long-term ecosystem sustainability. NXPC is the native token of MSU, the blockchain-powered expansion of Nexon’s iconic MapleStory IP, powering user engagement, including contribution rewards and item unlocks.
Under the program, Nexpace will conduct open market purchases of up to $10 million worth of NXPC across global digital asset exchanges. To minimize potential market impact, open market purchases will be executed progressively over a three-month period through multiple tranches and delegated to an external execution partner.
The initiative was developed based on insights gathered during MSU’s first year of live operations. Over the past year, more than 850,000 wallets engaged with the platform, with approximately two-thirds spending NXPC on a monthly basis, contributing to 49.1 million NXPC in ecosystem revenue, equivalent to $31 million. By Q1 2026, player spending had outpaced rewards distributed, reflecting the depth of organic engagement across the ecosystem.
Combined with the 8.32 million NXPC burned to date, the buyback program is designed to support healthy token circulation as MSU evolves into a broader IP-powered ecosystem driven by active onchain participation. It also reinforces the long-term ecosystem alignment of NXPC for users who actively participate in and contribute to the ecosystem.
Sun Young Hwang, Chief Executive Officer at Nexpace said, “As MapleStory Universe continues to evolve, our focus remains on building an ecosystem where participation and utility remain closely connected. This program reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting healthier long-term ecosystem dynamics as engagement continues to grow. Year one gave us confidence that we are on the right path, and we want to ensure long-term users, builders, and contributors are meaningfully rewarded for what they help build.”
NXPC acquired through the program will be retained within the treasury for future use in supporting long-term ecosystem sustainability. For more information, users can visit Nexpace’s IR page.

ABUJA, NIGERIA, May 21st, 2026, FinanceWire
PU Prime is proud to announce the official launch of the Dream Fund, a dedicated philanthropic initiative designed to bridge the gap between potential and opportunity for children facing educational barriers. Launched in 2026, the fund begins its mission in Abuja, Nigeria, with a commitment to providing sustained, multi-year support to students who would otherwise be unable to remain in the classroom.
The scale of the global education crisis is staggering, with 251 million children currently out of school worldwide. In Nigeria alone, this figure reaches 18 million, representing a significant portion of the population whose ambitions are hindered not by a lack of ability, but by a lack of access. The Dream Fund was created to address this specific hurdle, acting as a bridge to ensure children can stay in school and pursue their long-term goals.
Walking Alongside Students: A Sustained Approach
Unlike one-time donations, the Dream Fund is structured as a multi-year sponsorship that covers multiple terms across various school grades. The funding is strictly ring-fenced for essential academic needs, including:
Academic Fees: Coverage for school fees and examination costs.
Essential Supplies: Provision of books and school uniforms.
Modern Resources: Access to digital learning tools to ensure students remain competitive in a tech-driven world.
Inaugural Partnership: Destine Children’s Orphanage
The Dream Fund’s first milestone is a partnership with Destine Children’s Orphanage in Abuja. By working with this launch partner, the fund ensures that aid is distributed through trusted institutional channels, with proper documentation and oversight to maintain full transparency.
The official signing ceremony was held on April 17, with representatives from both parties formally signing the agreement.
I see the potential in our children every day. However, that potential is often limited by a lack of access to consistent schooling. For many of our students, the fear of having to leave their studies due to rising costs remains a constant burden,
said Ms. Sarah, Admin Assistant at Destine Children’s Orphanage.
Reflecting on the initiative, Mr. Idowu, PU Prime’s Country Manager for Nigeria, shared:
The seeds for the Dream Fund were sown during our visit on October 30, 2025, where we witnessed both the incredible potential of these students and the stark barriers they face. Today, we are proud to turn intention into action by sponsoring 23 children from six different schools, ensuring they receive the consistent support needed to remain in the classroom.
While the initiative begins in Nigeria, PU Prime has a visionary roadmap for the Dream Fund. The long-term goal is to expand the fund beyond a single organization, growing a network of partners across the global regions to create a worldwide coalition for education. In a unique move for the brokerage industry, PU Prime is also inviting its global client base to participate. The Dream Fund represents PU Prime’s evolution from a financial service provider to a socially responsible global citizen, committed to the belief that education is a fundamental right, not a privilege.

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, May 20th, 2026, Chainwire
A new protocol-level feature enables peer-to-peer stablecoin transfers on Sui without requiring users to hold SUI, dropping current stablecoin transfer fees to $0.00.
Sui, where money moves as freely as messages, today announced the launch of gasless stablecoin transfers, a new protocol-level feature that enables users and businesses to send supported stablecoins on Sui without paying gas fees or managing a separate SUI token balance. With the feature now rolling out to validators, stablecoin transfer fees are $0.00 on the Sui network.
With support live from major stablecoins, including USDsui, suiUSDe, AUSD, FDUSD, USDB, USDC, and USDY, the feature is designed to simplify payment workflows and remove one of the largest friction points in stablecoin mass adoption: the requirement to hold a separate token to complete transactions.
Fireblocks, the enterprise platform securing more than $14 trillion in digital asset transactions, has integrated the new solution prior to the rollout as part of Sui’s broader payments ecosystem expansion. In addition, many institutional custodians and retail-facing wallets will support gasless transactions at launch, enabling users to send select stablecoins without holding or spending SUI on transaction fees.
Stablecoins are becoming a core part of global finance, but the infrastructure around them still creates unnecessary complexity,
said Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and CPO of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui. From the start, we’ve said it should not cost individuals fees to move their own money. With gasless stablecoin transfers, we are one step closer in making Sui the global rail for payments, whether they are for businesses, AI agents, and consumers.
Fireblocks’ support further strengthens the institutional accessibility of Sui’s payments infrastructure by enabling enterprises and financial service providers to securely access and manage stablecoin activity on the network through trusted digital asset infrastructure.
The future of payments will run on stablecoin rails, but the experience for institutions still needs to catch up,
said Ran Goldi, SVP Payments & Network at Fireblocks. Sui is making all the right moves, with gasless stablecoin transfers that removes a major point of friction for enterprises building onchain payment flows and customer experiences.
Gasless stablecoin transfers represent a structural change to how single and batched peer-to-peer transfers of supported stablecoins operate on Sui Mainnet and are not a subsidy, sponsorship program, or temporary promotional initiative. In a competitive market where margins are everything, the launch positions Sui as the default stablecoin infrastructure for businesses looking to cut complexity and overhead costs, traders who are tired of failed transactions or the friction of fees, and AI agents, who will objectively choose the cheapest path of least resistance to execute autonomous payments.
Since August 2025, Sui has surpassed $1 trillion in stablecoin transfer volume, while its stablecoin ecosystem has continued to expand rapidly across institutional, retail, and developer use cases. Sui’s horizontally scalable architecture and object-centric design allow the network to support high-frequency payment activity with predictable performance and low operational overhead, making it well-suited for emerging payment applications, agentic commerce, and enterprise-grade financial systems.
These new protocol mechanisms work by dramatically cutting processing costs, and gasless stablecoin transfers build on that foundation to eliminate gas pre-funding and volatile treasury management entirely. The result is simpler infrastructure for institutions, and an operational and cost model that makes agentic commerce and autonomous systems work. Free transfers mean gas fees never rival or exceed the value of the payment itself, making micropayments viable at any scale.
Recent momentum across the Sui ecosystem underscores rising demand for scalable financial infrastructure and stablecoin-based payments. In 2026 alone, four SUI exchange-traded products from 21Shares, Grayscale, and Canary Capital launched globally, expanding institutional access to the Sui ecosystem. At the same time, marquee stablecoin initiatives, including Bridge-issued Sui Dollar (USDSui) and Ethena-issued eSui Dollar (SuiUSDe), have continued to expand Sui’s growing digital dollar ecosystem and strengthen its position as infrastructure for internet-scale finance.
Gasless stablecoin transfers are now rolling out on Sui Mainnet. To learn more about payments on Sui, visit https://www.sui.io/payments.

The online address marks an early step in STARTRADER’s commitment to youth education in artificial intelligence and future skills.
STARTRADER CEO Peter Karsten delivered an online keynote to academic staff and students at the University of Adelaide, one of Australia’s leading research institutions with over 56,000 enrolled students, introducing foundational concepts in artificial intelligence as part of the company’s growing commitment to youth education and digital skills development.
The session, titled “AI Starter,” reached undergraduate and postgraduate students across disciplines, reflecting STARTRADER’s view that AI fluency is becoming essential across all professional fields, not just technology. The approach mirrors the same principle of accessible, client-first engagement that defines STARTRADER’s presence in financial markets.
Mr. Karsten tailored the session for a broad, non-technical audience, covering the role of AI in everyday life, the growing importance of AI literacy across disciplines, and practical ways for young professionals to get comfortable with emerging technologies.
The keynote is part of a deliberate direction STARTRADER has been building; connecting its position in global markets with investment in youth education. AI is already reshaping how trading platforms operate and how clients interact with markets. STARTRADER sees early AI literacy among young people as a direct extension of the industry it serves, alongside broader priorities in financial literacy and digital skills.
“AI is no longer an area for specialists only. It’s a component that is bound to shape industries within the next couple of years,” Mr. Karsten explained. “And in addition to us being able to make use of these technologies, we should enable the younger generation to feel comfortable working with them. This is very important on their stage of careers.”
“We welcome opportunities to connect our students with industry leaders who can offer both perspective and practical guidance on the technologies shaping their future careers,” said Derek Abbott, Professor and Laureate Fellow, University of Adelaide.
Further university sessions are planned throughout the coming year, with engagements at the University of Europe (UE) and the Higher Colleges and Technology and among those confirmed.

根據Coinbird DCA計算器的數據：自2015年以來每月購買比特幣的收益爲+4,515%，儘管投資者仍經歷了76.72%的回撤，並且在Coinbird測試的短期情景中，定投的表現不及一次性投資。
來自獨立加密貨幣比較平臺Coinbird的新分析顯示，自2015年以來，每月定投比特幣的實際收益，同時也指出了“只需定投比特幣”這一流行說法如何簡化了現實。

日本的主要券商，由SBI證券和樂天證券主導，正在開發直接面向零售投資者的比特幣和以太坊投資產品。這一舉動表明傳統金融界正在更加積極地推動通過標準券商賬戶提供數字資產的曝光，繞過獨立的加密交易所或自託管錢包的需求。
初步的關注仍然集中在比特幣和以太坊上——目前交易價格分別接近$78,000和$2,180——因爲它們擁有深厚的流動性和成熟的機構需求。通過將這些資產整合到現有的證券平臺中，券商們旨在消除歷史上一直讓普通零售投資者望而卻步的技術和託管障礙。

西班牙的AI生態系統在2026年以突破性的一年爲動力，進一步鞏固了該國作爲歐洲快速增長的科技中心之一。

去年，TravelPerk和Multiverse Computing等公司的高調融資輪讓西班牙在全球舞臺上嶄露頭角。這種投資者的熱情直接延續到了2026年，資本大量流入醫療保健、工業軟件、地理空間智能和企業自動化等領域。
