Metafyed and NXMarket announce Strategic Digital Asset Partnership to Expand Compliant Access to Tokenized Real-World Assets

Metafyed and NXMarket today announced a strategic partnership that enables Metafyed to offer real-world asset products & services through NXMarket. Metafyed’s offering includes tokenized securities, equities, options, warrants, and any real-world assets with dividends or yield

Hong Kong, January 8, 2026Metafyed and NXMarket today announced a strategic partnership that enables Metafyed to offer real-world asset products & services through NXMarket. Metafyed’s offering includes tokenized securities, equities, options, warrants, and any real-world assets with dividends or yield.

Metafyed’s pipeline includes yield-bearing, asset-backed instruments and other tokenized securities use cases. Through NXMarket, Metafyed will work to provide a clearer route to compliant distribution and secondary trading for eligible offerings “The potential of digital securities is nothing short of transformative. As the market matures, the winners will be the platforms that make issuance, trading, and settlement simpler, safer, and more transparent. Our mission at NXMarket is crystal clear — to build a transparent, secure, and efficient infrastructure for issuing, trading, and settling digital securities that empower both issuers and investors globally.

We’re thrilled to be working with Metafyed and the assets they are tokenising. Partnering with Mimi and her team embodies our shared belief in breaking barriers, giving investors access to high-quality, institutional-grade opportunities, while providing Metafyed the visibility and liquidity that fuel growth. Together, we’re not just innovating finance, we’re democratizing it.” — Warren Burke, Co-Founder, NXMarket.

By tokenizing real-world assets, the digital asset industry can extend its benefits to a wider audience beyond the current crypto adopters.

“2026 is the year we stop debating tokenization and start scaling real adoption,” says Mimi Vong, CEO, Metafyed. “The last cycle proved the technology. This cycle will prove the market structure — compliance, disclosures, custody, and credible venues for secondary trading.”

“For this industry to truly prosper, we need clear regulatory frameworks that establish credibility, trust, and stability,” Vong continues. “Globally, we’re witnessing regulators accelerate their efforts as digital assets gain traction among investors, corporations, and even central banks, across both retail and institutional levels.”

“That’s why our partnership with NXMarket is so significant. By combining Metafyed’s product strength and asset tokenization capabilities with NXMarket’s infrastructure, we’re creating a stronger, more disciplined route for RWAs to move from ‘concept’ to ‘capital markets product,’ and strengthening our position as a leading force in the tokenization of real-world assets.”

Across global markets, the use of tokenized assets in financing and collateral workflows is moving from theory to pilots and early deployment. As this trend expands, tokenization can reduce friction in issuance and servicing, improve transparency, and help real-economy businesses access capital with clearer disclosures and programmable settlement.

Market potential is significant. Boston Consulting Group has estimated tokenization of illiquid assets could reach roughly US$16 trillion by 2030, highlighting the scale of what’s at stake as infrastructure and regulation mature. BCG Web Assets+1

Relocating to Turkey as a Professional: The Most In-Demand Locations for Foreign National Businesspeople

Turkey is drawing foreign professionals with cost-effective, business-friendly cities beyond central Istanbul offering strong infrastructure and incentives

Istanbul, Turkey, January 7, 2026 — Turkey has become a popular destination for investors, professionals, and business owners in recent years. This is thanks to its strategic location, educated, largely younger workforce, favourable exchange rates, and incentives, including tax exemptions and R&D reliefs, aimed at encouraging overseas economic investment.

While there remains a consistent influx of retirees and families looking for a warm climate, low living costs and accessible property acquisition prices, alongside investors purchasing real estate as part of their global portfolios, the specialists at Property Turkey have seen upticks in enquiries from professionals who may require both a residential home and a commercial premise.

The firm explores some of the most appealing, and sometimes less well-known, destinations, particularly for investors and businesspeople looking for locations with low barriers to entry and where property acquisitions are more affordable than in central Istanbul.

The Draw of Turkish Commercial Locations Outside of Istanbul

There is, of course, always interest in establishing a business or relocating to Istanbul as a professional. The city’s large population, diverse economy spanning tech, manufacturing, finance and tourism, and the ease of access to airports and seaports are all beneficial.

However, the elevated costs of real estate purchases in the city have led more foreign nationals and business owners to explore alternatives, particularly those setting up new ventures or with limited start-up capital, for whom initial overheads are a key budgetary constraint.

For many, the solution is to look beyond the central metropolitan area, with regions such as Ataşehir and Maslak perceived as offering the best of both worlds.

Maslak is within Istanbul Province and has a high concentration of skyscrapers and high-end properties, with strong connectivity via the M2 metro, having become less of an industrial-focused business region over the years.

It is now more tech-centric, with a fast-growing number of corporate offices that are more affordable than those in traditional centres such as Buyukdere Street.

Ataşehir has similarly attracted interest on the Asian side of Istanbul, where the newly developed Istanbul International Finance Centre (IIFC) is located, generating sharp increases in demand for Turkish real estate as professionals employed at the IIFC or related businesses relocate.

Ankara as a Strategic Base for a Newly Established Business in Turkey

The capital city, Ankara, has conventionally been in second place to Istanbul, with the lower costs of running a business now making it a viable option for many brands. It’s also seen as an optimal base for companies reliant on government contracts or similar workflows, with a niche market that includes defence, public-sector, and tech-sector firms.

International businesses often pick Ankara due to affordability, with lower property rentals, average salaries and overheads than Istanbul, and for the convenience of less congestion.

This ensures that commuting times and commercial transport delays are less of an issue, while taking advantage of a central location that is well-suited to business entities involved in goods distribution around the country and further afield.

Reasons Professionals and Businesses Consider Izmir for Turkish Expansions and Relocations

Izmir is the third-largest city in Turkey and a location that appeals to entrepreneurs and established professionals whose priorities include cost efficiency and the tactical benefit of being close to the port on the Aegean Sea coast.

Nicknamed the Pearl of the Aegean, Izmir is generally regarded as a tourism hub, with sandy beaches, sites of historic importance and several cultural attractions. Because of this, it is often overlooked, despite being a business-friendly setting with progressive attitudes and growth in tech and manufacturing.

The Adnan Menderes Airport makes travel and transport straightforward, and although the population is smaller than Istanbul’s, it is still a significant market with less congestion and pollution.

Investments in the Izmir Technology Development Zone, access to well-maintained port, airport, and road facilities, and lower living costs have made Izmir a central hub for companies looking to recruit talented professionals and for investors relocating from around the world.

Bursa as a Turkish Relocation Destination for Businesses and Professionals

Bursa, the first capital, is another Turkish city that attracts large volumes of tourists year-round. It has become established as a visitor destination due to its mix of UNESCO-recognised sites, skiing resorts and thermal baths, but it also presents an opportunity for commercially minded foreign nationals.

With a robust, mature manufacturing sector, Bursa is attractive to those engaged in production and related industries, offering reductions in commercial overheads and the infrastructure businesses need to thrive.

Already seen as a hub for Turkish manufacturing, especially in textiles and the automotive industry, Bursa is two hours by road from Istanbul, providing access to the larger market, while having established industrial zones with all the third-party services and facilities businesses require.

This makes the city an option for manufacturers that require export infrastructure and port access, and for innovative companies that can recruit technical candidates from Uludağ University.

Factors That May Influence Location-Based Decisions for Foreign National Investors and Corporations Relocating to Turkey

Short-listing the best places to establish a new business or cross-border presence, or to relocate as a professional, can be complex. Some locations are better suited to companies operating in specific industries or sectors, or may be saturated with direct competitors, making an alternative destination more commercially viable.

Tax incentives and specially designated zones vary across Turkey, as does access to skilled labour and vital infrastructure, from communication networks and digital download speeds to roads, airports, and ports. As always, it is advisable to seek local knowledge for real-world guidance and support.

Importantly, foreign business owners and investors should also consider the sometimes unique business climates across Turkey’s commercial districts and ensure they are comfortable that the trading conditions align with their expectations and business strategies.

Lismor Capital Acknowledged Among the Fastest-Growing Wealth Management Firms of 2025

London, UK, January 6, 2026Lismor Capital has been recognised within the financial services industry as one of the fastest-growing wealth management firms of 2025, following a year marked by strong client inflows, strategic expansion and consistent investment performance across key markets.

The recognition forms part of a wider industry awards programme highlighting firms that have demonstrated exceptional growth, innovation and client focus within private wealth and asset management. The acknowledgement reflects Lismor Capital’s sustained momentum during a period of heightened scrutiny and selectivity across global markets.

Throughout the past year, the firm has continued to expand its private wealth offering, with increased demand for its discretionary investment mandates, income-focused strategies and bespoke portfolio solutions. Growth has been driven by a disciplined investment approach and a clear emphasis on long-term capital stewardship.

Richard Silverman, Head of Wealth Management at Lismor Capital, said the recognition was a reflection of the firm’s collective effort and long-standing philosophy.

“This acknowledgement speaks to the consistency of our approach and the trust placed in us by our clients,” Silverman said. “We have always prioritised measured, sustainable growth built on sound investment principles rather than short-term expansion. Being recognised alongside established and emerging leaders in the sector reinforces our commitment to delivering enduring value.”

The firm’s investment strategy has focused on diversification, capital preservation and selective exposure to alternative opportunities, supported by a strong governance framework and robust risk controls.

Greg Masters, Chief Investment Officer at Lismor Capital, highlighted the importance of discipline in achieving long-term growth.

“In today’s environment, growth is earned through performance, transparency and process,” Masters said. “This recognition reflects the strength of our investment framework and the discipline applied across every portfolio. Our focus remains on protecting client capital while positioning portfolios to perform across varying market conditions.”

Industry commentators have noted that firms experiencing sustained growth in 2025 have done so by combining traditional wealth management expertise with modern portfolio construction and enhanced client engagement. Lismor Capital’s continued investment in its people, systems and investment capabilities has positioned it strongly within this landscape.

Looking ahead in to 2026, the firm intends to continue its expansion in a measured manner, with a focus on strengthening its investment platform, broadening client access to tailored solutions and maintaining the standards that have underpinned its growth to date.

Singapore: The Longevity Lab Reimagining Human Life Extension

Singapore, December 31, 2025 — In a recent episode of the Financial Times’ podcast series “Tech Tonic,” titled “Defying Death: The Longevity Lab,” hosts Michael Peel and Hannah Kuchler examine Singapore’s emergence as a global hub for longevity research and development. Through interviews with key industry players, the episode reveals how a combination of government policy, venture capital, and regulatory flexibility has transformed the city-state into a testing ground for some of humanity’s most ambitious—and controversial—attempts to extend life.

The podcast establishes Singapore’s unique position as a longevity epicenter. Government initiatives focused on extending “healthspan” rather than merely lifespan, coupled with substantial research funding and Singapore’s strategic location bridging East and West, have created an attractive environment for leading scientists and investors. The episode notes that Singapore functions not only as a global financial center but also as a place where certain scientific endeavors face fewer regulatory barriers than in Western countries.

At the center of this narrative is Boyang Wang, founder of Immortal Dragons, a venture capital firm dedicated to funding what he describes as “moonshot” longevity projects. Boyang’s perspective offers a window into the ambitions driving the longevity industry. He emphasizes Singapore’s advantages in terms of what he calls “regulatory arbitrage”—the ability to conduct research that would be prohibitively difficult or expensive elsewhere. He points to primate studies as a concrete example: while such research requires extensive approval processes and substantial funding in the United States, Asian jurisdictions maintain more lenient regulatory frameworks, enabling ambitious scientific exploration.

Boyang’s most striking contribution to the discussion concerns his portfolio company’s work on what he terms “brainless clones.” Drawing inspiration from a rare medical condition called hydranencephaly, where infants are born without a developed cerebral cortex, Boyang envisions a future in which artificially induced versions of this condition could create backup bodies for organ transplantation or, more speculatively, brain transplantation. As he explains in the podcast: “Imagine if we can do a brain transplant, then this new body can become our second home.” He acknowledges that this concept extends far beyond current scientific consensus, yet it exemplifies the speculative and forward-looking nature of his investment philosophy.

The podcast balances Boyang’s vision with voices of caution. Andrea Meyer, a physician and researcher at the National University of Singapore, notes that the longevity field often skips diagnosis and moves directly to radical interventions—something that would be malpractice in conventional oncology. Chet Lim, a 53-year-old fitness entrepreneur dubbed Singapore’s “Benjamin Button,” champions a more measured approach: focus on eliminating “disease span” rather than merely extending lifespan. Hannah Kuchler raises the regulatory problem directly, warning that without standards for biomarkers and without adequate oversight, vulnerable populations—the elderly, the health-anxious—may spend substantial sums on unproven treatments.

What emerges is a portrait of Singapore as a kind of petri dish for longevity medicine, where government investment in research, an aging population, technological ambition, and regulatory leniency converge. Boyang’s presence in this ecosystem is significant precisely because he articulates the logic of the space so clearly: Singapore offers capital, talent, and the freedom to pursue directions that Western regulatory environments would restrict or prohibit.

Yet freedom to experiment is not the same as wisdom in experimentation. The podcast suggests that as the longevity movement shifts from niche pursuit to mainstream interest, the absence of clear rules and global consensus becomes increasingly problematic. Boyang’s brainless clones may remain theoretical, but the investments in less dramatic interventions—unregulated supplements, unproven therapies, questionable biomarkers—are already flowing toward ordinary people with ordinary concerns about aging and death. Singapore’s openness to innovation, which Boyang celebrates as strategic advantage, may prove to be exactly the vulnerability that requires addressing.

About Immortal Dragons

Immortal Dragons is a purpose-driven longevity fund headquartered in Singapore. The fund invests in cutting-edge, high-impact technologies and currently supports more than 15 portfolio companies. Beyond conventional investments, the fund advances longevity advocacy through book translation and publishing, translation of longevity leaders’ talks, hosting a leading Chinese-language longevity podcast, and providing sponsorships and grants to longevity initiatives and conferences.

UniLedger Secures U.S. MSB License and Launches on Apple App Store & Google Play

Colorado, United States, December 25, 2025
UniLedger (UL), a digital dollar (USDT) wealth management platform, has officially launched globally and is now available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. Positioned at the intersection of stablecoin-based investing, real-world lending, and AI-powered asset strategies, UniLedger brings a new era of secure, transparent, compliant, and high-performance digital wealth management.

A Rising Star in the Global WealthTech Landscape

As inflation soars and interest rates remain low, traditional financial products are struggling to meet the expectations of conservative savers and risk-averse investors. A growing number of users worldwide are now looking for safer, more rewarding methods to manage and grow their assets.

UniLedger was created against this backdrop—leveraging the rise of stablecoins, which offer legally issued structures, global liquidity, transparent blockchain-based records, and real-time settlement. With “Security, Transparency, and Compliant Yield” as its core proposition, UniLedger introduces a new model of value creation tailored for global users. The platform integrates a real-asset-backed income model, fully traceable on-chain capital flows, jurisdiction-specific legal architecture, and a dual-engine yield mechanism powered by both AI-driven quantitative strategies and enterprise-grade lending.

Compared with traditional DeFi’s high-risk nature and conventional finance’s low returns, UniLedger positions “stable returns” and “strict risk control” at the heart of its product logic, balancing low risk with competitive yield.

Licensed and Compliant: Full U.S. MSB Approval

Earlier this year, UniLedger was awarded a Money Services Business (MSB) license by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), an agency under the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This license enables UniLedger to legally operate digital currency-related services, conduct cross-border remittances, and perform currency exchange operations throughout all 50 U.S. states, as well as all U.S. territories and federal districts.

The platform’s legal entity is registered in the state of Colorado, where it has received official company registration documents and tax identification numbers. Following an in-depth compliance review by local regulators, UniLedger was granted a Certificate of Good Standing by the Colorado Secretary of State. This recognition highlights the project’s compliance readiness and provides strong legal, policy, and reputational backing for future growth.

A Dual-Powered, Sustainable Yield Model

As a compliant asset management platform, UniLedger’s returns are primarily driven by two sources. First, it facilitates real-world institutional lending to borrowers such as cross-border service providers, entertainment firms, licensed game operators, and supply chain businesses with strong credit and solid cash flow. Second, the platform operates its own AI-powered quantitative investment desk, which deploys capital into low-risk, multi-strategy opportunities such as market-neutral arbitrage, high-frequency trading, on-chain yield optimization, and prediction-market-based alpha strategies.

This dual-engine model ensures UniLedger achieves a stable and sustainable target annualized return. It significantly outperforms traditional bank deposits or government bonds, while maintaining strict risk control, and delivers a true “alpha” yield that is both measurable and repeatable.

Risk Management and Investor Protection Framework

UniLedger enforces a “Transparency, Compliance, and Protection” framework that ensures the safety of all users. All corporate borrowers undergo rigorous Know-Your-Business (KYB) verification, financial audits, and operational vetting before being granted access to lending.

To protect investors from potential default events, the platform maintains an risk reserve, which can be deployed immediately to cover losses in case of borrower failure. This reserve serves as an institutional-grade safety mechanism rarely seen in either traditional financial services or decentralized finance (DeFi). In a market plagued by opaque fund flows and unverifiable risk exposures, UniLedger stands out by offering end-to-end transparency, making safety and trust the foundation of its brand.

Global App Launch: Seamless Experience Across iOS and Android

Following extensive product iteration and refinement, UniLedger’s mobile app has now launched worldwide (excluding restricted regions). The platform successfully passed the rigorous audits of both Apple and Google, and is now publicly available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Designed for a professional yet intuitive user experience, the app allows users to engage in digital dollar wealth management with ease, regardless of their technical background or geographic location.

The release of this application marks a new milestone in global digital asset management—ushering in an era of security, compliance, and transparency for stablecoin users around the world. For the first time, specific user groups facing long-standing challenges in asset preservation and income generation can now participate in a secure, regulated, and performance-driven digital finance ecosystem.

A Vision for the Future: Global Digital Dollar Infrastructure

Looking ahead, UniLedger aims to build the foundational infrastructure for global digital dollar wealth. The platform envisions becoming the most trusted destination for USDT-based yield generation—one that transcends national boundaries, local currencies, and legacy banking systems.

With strong regulatory licensing, a robust dual-yield engine, and an unwavering commitment to transparency and risk control, UniLedger is on track to become the go-to platform for next-generation digital wealth creation—empowering users worldwide to grow their capital in a smarter, safer way.

Gain Industry-Wide Validation: UF AWARDS MEA 2026 Nominations Are Now Open

Join the region’s top B2C and B2B brands in the race for the ultimate industry accolade in online trading and fintech.

Limassol, Cyprus, December 16, 2025 — Markets fluctuate and trends shift, but trust serves as the anchor keeping clients and partners loyal. While most companies understand the need for operational excellence, few understand how to effectively communicate this message to a wider audience.

The challenge lies in differentiation. Thousands of brokers and technology providers operate with similar promises of speed, security, and innovation. Standing out demands more than a strong marketing budget.

The UF AWARDS are among the accolades that help distinguish a brand. Launched in 2021, these accolades exist to separate elite performers from the norm. The 2026 MEA edition is now open for nomination, marking the moment for brands to step forward and secure an opportunity to be seen, recognised, and celebrated.

The value of brand nomination

In business, silence serves no one. In fact, modesty regarding achievements often leads to obscurity. The nomination phase offers a strategic tool to combat this by putting a company forward. A nomination signals confidence.

Nomination places a brand on the official roster of contenders, and this list garners attention from the entire sector. Competitors take note. Potential partners see a company’s name alongside industry veterans: it triggers visibility and, eventually, memorability.

This visibility extends beyond the ceremony. The voting process engages the community. Clients, partners, and peers visit the platform to cast their choices. A nomination ensures a highly qualified audience sees a brand and its value proposition. It transforms a passive brand presence into an active campaign for recognition.

Defining the MEA region

The Middle East and Africa present distinct challenges and opportunities. The region demands localised understanding. Traders here look for specific conditions, language support, and payment methods. Technology providers must navigate unique regulatory frameworks and connectivity issues.

The UF AWARDS MEA 2026 specifically honour those who thrive in this environment. The categories reflect the region’s nuance. A “Global” award carries prestige, but an MEA-specific accolade demonstrates an understanding of the local client. It demonstrates that infrastructure has been built specifically for Dubai, Johannesburg, Lagos, or Riyadh.

This regional focus helps target messaging. A win here validates an expansion strategy. It provides sales teams with a powerful narrative when talking to leads in the region. It signals that a brand is not an outsider trying to enter the market, but a recognised leader within it.

Categories for every specialist

The financial ecosystem relies on diverse specialities. A single “Best Broker” title fails to capture the sector’s complexity. The UF AWARDS structure addresses this by offering a granular list of categories.

B2C brokers have multiple avenues to shine. Categories such as “Best Broker – MEA” cover overall performance. More niche titles, such as “Best Trading Experience – MEA” or “Most Transparent Broker – MEA,” allow firms to highlight specific strengths. If a company excels in education, speed, or customer service, a category exists to match that capability.

B2B technology providers also find ample representation. The backend drives the industry, and the awards recognize this. “Best Technology Provider – MEA” and “Best Connectivity Provider – MEA” highlight the infrastructure heroes. Liquidity providers, payment gateways, and white label solutions all have dedicated brackets. Participants can select the title that aligns best with current business goals.

A transparent process

Fairness defines the UF AWARDS MEA 2026. The process relies on industry-wide participation rather than a closed-door committee.

Participants can either self-nominate or enlist a Brokerage (B2C) or B2B brand they believe deserves the distinction. Registration takes place on the website by verifying details and selecting the appropriate categories.

Once nominations close, the industry takes over, and a public voting round determines the winners. This democratic approach adds weight to the trophy. Winning means the market voted for the victor, and clients and peers took the time to validate the work. This organic endorsement carries more authority than paid advertising.

How to enter

As usual, the 2026 edition of the UF AWARDS MEA keeps the mechanics simple to encourage participation.

First, users should visit the official website. The interface guides the user through registration. To create an account, register with a business email. Once verified, access is granted to the nomination portal.

Inside the portal, users can review the categories and descriptions. Categories should be selected to match the profile of the brand being nominated. Please note that the system accepts multiple nominations for a single brand, provided they fit different categories. The same brand cannot be nominated multiple times for the same category, but it is possible to compete across different verticals.

Review the selection, confirm the details, and submit.

The impact of winning

The physical trophy is merely a symbol, but the real asset is the leverage the award provides. Winners receive a “Winner’s Pack,” including digital badges and promotional materials.

These assets improve conversion rates. Placing a “Best Broker MEA 2026” badge on a landing page increases trust and lowers the psychological barrier for a new client depositing funds. For B2B companies, the award becomes a vital slide in pitch decks, answering the question “Why should we trust this firm?” before the prospect even asks.

Time to act

Opportunities to redefine a market position are rare. Taking ownership of a firm’s reputation starts with submitting a nomination. The industry is watching, and the UF AWARDS MEA 2026 website is live. The time to participate is now. Nominate now.

American Twins Cash & Roman Felber Target British F4 Success with Fortec Motorsport

England, United Kingdom, December 15, 2025 — — Fortec Motorsport is pleased to confirm that identical twins Cash and Roman Felber will join the team for the 2026 Wera Tools F4 British Championship, certified by FIA. The American pair arrive in the UK following a standout year in the Ligier Junior Formula Championship on home soil, in which both drivers claimed race victories and multiple podiums. Cash concluded the series third overall in the standings with Roman seventh; the brothers also secured second and fourth respectively in the Rookie rankings.

Cash & Roman Felber American Twins

It was a season defined by momentum on both sides of the garage. Cash displayed front-running consistency through opening-lap assertiveness and composed late-race judgement, collecting six podiums and two wins. Roman recovered strongly from early-season mechanical setbacks to deliver five podiums, a victory, and two pole positions, showcasing equally powerful pace and progression.

Racing has been a shared journey from the start. The brothers first drove at age eight on Segway karts around their driveway, but a visit to the 2022 United States Formula 1 Grand Prix ignited a commitment to pursue a career in motorsport. Since then, they have competed as rivals on track and made history in the LJFC as the first twin brothers in the series’ history to finish on the podium in the same race.

The 2026 Wera Tools British F4 season begins at Donington Park on April 18–19, featuring 30 races across 10 meetings, including a return to Zandvoort in the Netherlands. Cash and Roman will compete with the support of BioLongevity Labs, iMerchant Solutions, Conversio Pay, Town Hall, and Rebol.

Quotes:

Oliver Dutton, Team Principal, Fortec Motorsport

“Cash and Roman have shown us clean fundamentals, intelligent race craft, and the humility in debriefs that separates good drivers from championship contenders. We’ve seen what they did in the States. Now we’ll develop what they can become at the circuits that matter.”

Cash Felber

“The goal for 2026 is simple: arrive prepared, extract everything the car has, and leave no doubt. Fortec Motorsport’s attention to detail is exactly what I need in my career right now, and their engineering depth and coaching structure will help on the path to Formula 1.”

Roman Felber

Immortal Dragons Backs Etheros Pharmaceuticals: Targeting Aging-Related Disease with Breakthrough Catalytic Antioxidants

Singapore, December 10, 2025Immortal Dragons, the $40 million purpose-driven longevity fund, today announced its strategic investment in Etheros Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology company developing a new class of drugs to combat diseases of aging and which may slow human aging itself. Etheros is focused on advancing water-soluble fullerene derivatives that act as catalytic antioxidants, designed to neutralize the oxidative stress implicated in cellular damage and age-related conditions.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), or free radicals, are by-products of metabolism and are also produced by inflammation (e.g., “inflammaging”) ROS damage biological molecules. Oxidative damage is considered a contributor to aging and a wide array of diseases. Etheros’ compounds appear to solve potency and biodistribution problems that limited the effectiveness of previous anti-oxidant strategies.

A New Class of Antioxidant Therapeutics

Etheros’s approach is built on fullerene chemistry, a field of research that followed the 1985 discovery of the C60 carbon sphere, an achievement recognized with the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. While C60 is insoluble in water, Etheros has developed proprietary water-soluble derivatives for potential therapeutic use. These compounds possess a unique chemistry that allows them to function as mimics of the body’s antioxidant enzymes, primarily superoxide dismutase (SOD).

Unlike conventional antioxidants that are typically consumed in the process of neutralizing ROS, Etheros’s fullerene derivatives are catalytic, allowing a single molecule to neutralize thousands of ROS molecules per second. This mechanism of action, known as catalytic dismutation, appears much more potent than conventional anti-oxidant scavenging. The company’s lead compound has demonstrated a catalytic rate for superoxide removal that is within the range of other SOD mimetic compounds in development.

The foundational science for this platform, developed over years by the company’s founders, has shown promising results diverse models of disease. Early research demonstrated neuroprotective effects in models of familial ALS and Parkinson’s disease. One notable study in normal (“wild type”) mice showed a median lifespan extension of 14% when animals were dosed from middle age; very similar to lifespan extension from caloric restriction in the same study. Furthermore, elderly mice treated with the Etheros compound substantially outperformed untreated elderly mice in tests of learning and memory. Building on this work, Etheros is advancing its lead compound, which has established a wide safety margin in toxicology studies and has recently generated new data showing normalizing effects on behaviour and neuroinflammation in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.

A Strategic Investment in a Foundational Mechanism of Aging

The investment in Etheros Pharmaceuticals aligns with Immortal Dragons’ strategy of targeting the fundamental mechanisms of aging. By addressing oxidative damage, Etheros is working on a process that contributes to numerous chronic illnesses, from neurodegeneration to cardiovascular disease and perhaps to aging itself.

“Immortal Dragons are both bold and thoughtful. That is a difficult mix to get right. And from a practical perspective, they have also been great to work with; really supportive.” said Dr. Jack Scannell, CEO of Etheros.

Boyang Wang, founder of Immortal Dragons, explained the strategic rationale: “Etheros represents an investment in a differentiated platform addressing oxidative stress through catalytic antioxidants. Their approach to this fundamental aspect of aging biology complements our portfolio strategy and contributes to our mission in the longevity space.”

Looking Forward

With this new funding, Etheros Pharmaceuticals will continue the development of its lead compound toward human clinical trials. The company’s strategy involves pursuing initial proof-of-concept in indications with clear biomarkers and clinical endpoints, while building a long-term platform for major age-related diseases.

Key upcoming milestones include completing the necessary regulatory studies for an Investigational New Drug (IND) filing, scaling up GMP manufacturing of their lead candidate, and developing biomarkers to measure drug activity in animal studies and human trials. This approach provides multiple paths to demonstrate the potential of their technology.

About Immortal Dragons

Immortal Dragons is a purpose-driven longevity fund headquartered in Singapore. The fund invests in cutting-edge, high-impact technologies and currently supports more than 15 portfolio companies. Beyond conventional investments, the fund advances longevity advocacy through book translation and publishing, translation of longevity leaders’ talks, hosting a leading Chinese-language longevity podcast, and providing sponsorships and grants to longevity initiatives and conferences.

Global Immigration Partners Releases Comprehensive Guide on EB-5 Investment Risks and How to Evaluate Safe Projects

Global Immigration Partners PLLC (GIP), a leading international immigration law firm, has released a new in-depth guide titled “What Are the Risks of EB-5 Investments, and How Can I Evaluate a Safe Project?”

Washington, DC, United States, December 8, 2025 — Global Immigration Partners Releases Comprehensive Guide on EB-5 Investment Risks and How to Evaluate Safe Projects

Global Immigration Partners PLLC (GIP), a leading international immigration law firm, has released a new in-depth guide titled “What Are the Risks of EB-5 Investments, and How Can I Evaluate a Safe Project?” The publication aims to equip prospective EB-5 investors with the clarity and due-diligence framework needed to navigate both the financial and immigration-related risks inherent in the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.

As global interest in the EB-5 program continues to rise, so does the need for transparent, practical guidance. GIP’s newly released analysis outlines the most common concerns investors face, including capital risk, project credibility, job-creation requirements, and repayment structures.

EB-5 Investments Carry Real Financial Exposure

The report highlights that EB-5 investments must be placed “at risk” to qualify for immigration benefits, meaning that capital loss is possible. A project’s failure to complete construction, generate expected revenue, or obtain necessary financing can jeopardize both the investment and the investor’s immigration goals.

The firm emphasizes that many EB-5 offerings involve subordinated loans or equity positions, placing EB-5 investors behind senior lenders in repayment priority. As a result, careful examination of a project’s financial foundation is essential.

Evaluating Project Credibility Is Essential

To help investors make informed decisions, the report outlines clear criteria for assessing a project’s credibility. These include:

  • The developer’s track record with similar projects
  • Past investor repayment history
  • The experience and transparency of the Regional Center
  • Quality and clarity of offering documents
  • Availability of independent due-diligence reports

According to GIP, transparent documentation and a proven history of project execution reduce uncertainty and strengthen investor confidence.

Financial Protections That Strengthen Investor Positioning

Although EB-5 investments cannot offer guaranteed returns or guaranteed repayment, certain project structures can help mitigate risk. These include:

  • Senior or secured loan positions
  • Completion guarantees or fixed-price construction contracts
  • Projects already under construction
  • Balanced capital stacks where EB-5 funds form only a minority portion
  • Conservative job-creation estimates with significant job cushions

These safeguards help to stabilize the investment environment and reduce exposure to construction or operational disruptions.

Immigration Risk vs. Repayment Risk: Two Distinct Challenges

A central theme of the guide is the importance of separating immigration-related risk from financial risk. Even if a project generates enough jobs for investors to obtain permanent residency, repayment of capital is not assured. Conversely, a financially strong project may still fall short on job creation if economic assumptions are unrealistic or spending is insufficient.

The firm recommends evaluating each risk separately to gain a clearer picture of a project’s overall viability.

GIP’s Due-Diligence Checklist for Safer EB-5 Decisions

The publication concludes with a practical checklist that investors can use when comparing EB-5 offerings. Key factors include:

  1. Strong developer experience
  2. Project progress and construction status
  3. Capital stack strength and investor positioning
  4. Collateral availability
  5. Job cushion size and job-creation methodology
  6. Independent feasibility analyses
  7. Transparent legal and financial documentation
  8. Realistic market assumptions

This framework aims to give investors a structured, comprehensive approach to evaluating EB-5 opportunities.

Statement from Global Immigration Partners

“EB-5 remains one of the most effective investment-based pathways to U.S. permanent residency, but it requires careful review,” said Alexander Jovy, Co-Managing Partner at Global Immigration Partners. “Our new guide is designed to help investors understand where risks truly lie and how to identify safer, better-structured projects.”
