  • ChangeNOW Brings Martin Masser Into Its Crypto Super App

    Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, August 5th, 2026, Chainwire

    The former TON executive joins as Director of Strategic Partnerships to form the connections behind ChangeNOW’s next phase.

    Former TON executive Martin Masser joins ChangeNOW to build strategic partnerships, ecosystem relationships, and media momentum behind its next phase.

    Masser comes with experience across traditional banking, Web2 and Web3, including senior growth and business development roles within the TON space. At ChangeNOW, he will lead strategic relationships with blockchain networks, wallets, fintech companies, payment providers and other infrastructure partners.

    His appointment comes as ChangeNOW grows beyond standalone crypto services, transitioning to one connected product where users can buy, store, swap, trade, send, receive and grow digital assets. The industry has already built most of the individual components. What it hasn’t solved is the experience of using them together; clients are still expected to switch between platforms, understand different networks and connect the pieces on their own. ChangeNOW’s super app strategy is designed to move that complexity beneath the product.

    “Martin brings a rare mix of commercial relationships, product and media understanding,” said Pauline Shangett, Chief Strategy Officer at ChangeNOW. “He knows what the technology can do, what the business needs and how to make the market pay attention. That is exactly the perspective we need as we build the ChangeNOW super app.”

    Masser’s role will focus not on accumulating partnership announcements, but on identifying relationships that can make ChangeNOW’s infrastructure more complete and remove unnecessary steps from the сlient experience.

    “The best partnerships create access, adoption and attention. My focus is to build relationships that make the product stronger, simpler and more useful, and then help the market understand why they matter. If you are building wallets, networks, payments, stablecoins, fintech infrastructure, consumer crypto or Web3 products, I want to hear from you,” said Masser. 

    For consumers, ChangeNOW is combining the core activities of managing crypto within one environment. For businesses, it is developing an integrated set of tools for crypto payments, exchange, stablecoin settlement, digital asset management and Web3 integrations.

    As ChangeNOW expands into a crypto super app, its next phase is connecting the right networks, wallets and partners. Masser’s role will be central to building those relationships and turning them into product value, adoption and market momentum.

  • allwhere Expands UK Operations with Upgraded Depot

    New York City, New York, August 5th, 2026, FinanceWire

    allwhere, the leading IT asset lifecycle management platform, today announced the expansion of its UK operations with the opening of a larger, upgraded depot. The investment increases warehouse capacity, streamlines fulfillment operations, and strengthens allwhere’s ability to support organizations managing employee devices across the United Kingdom.

    The upgraded facility represents a significant investment in allwhere’s existing UK infrastructure, enabling the company to deliver faster turnaround times, greater operational efficiency, and additional inventory capacity as demand for global device lifecycle management continues to grow.

    “As more organizations build distributed teams, the operational side of IT has become increasingly important,” said Tony Solomon, VP of Global Operations at allwhere. “This investment strengthens the foundation of our UK operations, allowing us to fulfill orders more efficiently, scale alongside our customers, and continue delivering the high level of service they expect from allwhere.”

    Built to Support Growing IT Operations

    The expanded UK depot enhances every stage of the device lifecycle by improving warehouse operations and increasing fulfillment capacity.

    Customers can expect benefits including:

    • Faster fulfillment, expedited shipping, and improved turnaround times for deployments and retrievals

    • More efficient storage, inventory management, and redeployment workflows
    • Standardized operational processes that improve consistency and scalability
    • End-to-end lifecycle support managed through a single platform

    Whether onboarding a new employee, retrieving equipment from an offboarded team member, storing spare inventory, or preparing devices for redeployment, the upgraded facility enables allwhere to execute these workflows more efficiently while maintaining complete visibility through its platform.

    Software and Operations, Unified

    Unlike traditional asset management solutions that rely on disconnected software, logistics providers, and warehouses, allwhere combines workflow automation with global operational infrastructure.

    Organizations can manage procurement, deployment, inventory, retrievals, storage, repairs, redeployment, and IT asset disposition through a single platform, while allwhere handles the operational execution behind the scenes.

    The expanded UK depot further strengthens this model by providing the operational capacity needed to support larger fleets, faster fulfillment, and increasingly complex IT programs.

    Continuing to Invest in Global Infrastructure

    The UK depot expansion is part of allwhere’s continued investment in its global logistics network. allwhere currently operates full-service depots in the UK, Canada, EU, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Later this year, the company plans to further scale its infrastructure into the APAC region, with upcoming depot services in Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and more.

  • Borderless.xyz Teams Up with Mastercard to Advance Trusted Cross-Border Stablecoin Payment Flows

    New York, New York, August 5th, 2026, FinanceWire

    Borderless.xyz will explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential can help bring greater trust and confidence to cross-border stablecoin payments.

    Borderless.xyz and Mastercard are collaborating on a new pilot to explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential’s standards-based framework can support trusted interactions across cross-border stablecoin payment flows. 

    Stablecoins are increasingly being used to move value across borders, creating new opportunities for faster and more efficient payments. As adoption grows, participants need trusted ways to understand who they are interacting with and whether counterparties have met appropriate standards and requirements. 

    Through the pilot, Borderless.xyz and Mastercard will explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential can address that challenge by providing assurance signals that participants can incorporate into their own approval, compliance and risk processes. 

    Mastercard Crypto Credential helps support trusted and verifiable interactions across digital asset ecosystems. Through common standards and trusted assurance signals, it is designed to help bring more confidence, transparency and certainty to transactions across blockchain networks. 

    The collaboration pairs Mastercard’s work in building trust and standards for digital asset ecosystems with Borderless.xyz’s network of stablecoin payment providers. Together, the companies are exploring how trusted governance signals can help reduce friction and bring greater confidence to cross-border stablecoin payments as adoption grows. 

    “One of the biggest friction points for stablecoin payment operators isn’t the payments. It’s that compliance doesn’t scale the same way the network does. Every new provider means starting the verification process over. Correspondent banking solved this decades ago: originating compliance trusted downstream, no re-execution at every counterparty. Mastercard is applying that model to digital asset payments. Borderless.xyz is the network it runs through.” – Kevin Lehtiniitty, CEO and Co-Founder, Borderless.xyz

    “Innovation is most powerful when it builds over time. Our relationship with Borderless.xyz began through Start Path and has continued to grow as the digital asset ecosystem has matured,” said Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president, Blockchain & Digital Assets at Mastercard. “Today, we’re excited to take the next step together, exploring how Mastercard Crypto Credential can help bring greater trust and confidence to stablecoin payment flows across a growing network of participants.” 

    The pilot brings together several of Borderless.xyz‘s network participants consisting of Infinia, Walapay, and Koywe, many of whom are also alumni of Mastercard Start Path, the company’s startup engagement program. These partners will leverage Mastercard Crypto Credential as some of the first stablecoin payment operators to run on the single-audit compliance model at network scale. 

    About Borderless.xyz

    Borderless.xyz is a global stablecoin orchestration and liquidity network. Its single API connects wallet infrastructure to 15+ licensed stablecoin providers across 100+ countries. It lets businesses enter new markets without new integrations, get failover so payments don’t drop, and make providers compete for your volume on price. Borderless.xyz is SOC 2 Type II certified and headquartered in New York. To learn more, users can visit the website: borderless.xyz.

    About Mastercard

  • Xylo Unveils Mochi: An AI-Powered Next-Gen Web3 Platform

    Redesigning the on-chain experience with an all-weather algorithm and an intuitive UX.

    Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 5th Aug 2026 — Web3 technology is moving past the experimental stage into everyday tooling. Yet most on-chain services still sit atop barriers of complex wallets, unfamiliar jargon, and difficult interfaces. Mochi, the AI-powered Web3 asset-management platform unveiled by Xylo Holdings, targets exactly those barriers. Its guiding philosophy is simple: “hide the complex technology behind, and leave the user only an intuitive experience.” 

    Xylo said it is developing a next version of Mochi centered on an AI algorithmic engine and a newly designed user experience (UX), with a beta release planned for the second half of the year. The goal is “an experience where even users unfamiliar with Web3 can handle on-chain assets in just a few taps.” 

    A User Experience That Strips Away Web3 Complexity  

    Where Mochi invests the most is UX. It boldly removes the complex steps legacy on-chain services demanded — connecting multiple wallets, choosing networks, deciphering unfamiliar dashboards — and leaves the user a single, intuitive screen. The sophisticated algorithms and on-chain infrastructure all hide behind. Users need not understand the technology; they simply set a goal and check the result. Through this, Xylo Holdings intends to fundamentally lower the entry barrier that has held back Web3’s mainstream adoption. 

    An All-Weather Algorithm, Engineered to Stay Steady 

    At the center of Mochi’s technology is an all-weather algorithm — a proven allocation philosophy that distributes growth, defensive, and hedge-oriented on-chain assets regardless of market regime, so the whole portfolio never collapses in one direction under any conditions. An AI engine is layered on top, observing market signals 24/7 and dynamically adjusting allocations against pre-defined risk rules. If the all-weather approach is structural stability, the AI is real-time response. The two complement rather than compete, with a rule-based safeguard that shifts weight toward a defensive configuration when volatility crosses a set threshold. 

    Verification over Promises and Transparent Technology 

    Xylo said it plans to disclose its simulation (backtest) methodology during development — presenting, as data, how the algorithm responded across varied historical market regimes, and above all what defensive choices it made under sharp volatility. Rather than leading with performance, the approach lets users see for qualifying data how the technology behaves. In the Web3 ecosystem, this kind of transparency is regarded as the strongest language for building trust. 

    “Mochi focuses not on a flashy feature race but on a technical design that stays steady and an experience anyone can use easily,” a Xylo representative said. “Over the long term, our goal is to extend the benefits of Web3 technology to more users and more regions.” The company plans to unveil the AI engine and the new UX in sequential betas, and to run community pre-registration.

    About the Company  

    Mochi is a Web3 asset-management technology platform that combines AI algorithms with an intuitive UX, aiming for an intelligent on-chain asset-management experience built on an all-weather algorithm. Xylo is a company building blockchain- and AI-based technology platforms and a Web3 ecosystem.

  • Global Hit Anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia Unveils 3rd Main PV and Visual, Kujira as 1st Empress

    Kujira as First Empress Boraqchin in Fourth Round of Cast Announcements!

    Tokyo, Japan, 5th Aug 2026 – CyberAgent, Inc. announces that since its initial broadcast, the TV anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia (Japanese title: Tenmaku no Ja’dugar) has captivated audiences worldwide with Science SARU’s extraordinary visual beauty and rich historical drama. Today, the series officially released its third main PV, special visual, and fourth round of cast announcements!

     

    The original work A Witch’s Life in Mongol, serialized in Japan on AKITASHOTEN’s Souffle website and written by Tomato Soup, is a historical court drama set in the 13th-century Mongol Empire.

    The highly acclaimed series has drawn widespread acclaim, securing 1st place in Takarajimasha’s Kono manga ga sugoi! 2023 (Women’s Category), placing in the Manga Taisho for two consecutive years in 2023 and 2024, and winning the Grand Prize in the Comic Division at the 55th Japan Cartoonists Association Awards.

    Animation production is handled by Science SARU, the internationally acclaimed studio renowned for its extraordinary visual quality in titles such as DAN DA DAN, The Heike Story, and Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, and THE GHOST IN THE SHELL, which is currently airing alongside this series to rave reviews.

    Third Main PV and Special Visual Highlighting the Women Who Shook the Mongol Empire Revealed! Kujira Joins the Cast as First Empress Boraqchin

    Previously kept strictly under wraps—sparking a wave of intense guessing games across social media as fans wondered who would take on the role—the casting for Boraqchin, the First Empress of Ögedei (the second Emperor of the Mongol Empire), has finally been revealed! Taking on the role of this enigmatic woman, who remains calm, composed, and dignified as she secretly devises strategies to safeguard the empire’s future, is none other than the legendary voice actress Kujira, renowned for her truly unique presence across countless iconic works.

    The newly unveiled third main PV offers a thrilling glimpse into the relentless storm ahead, teasing a narrative where Sitara’s (Fatima’s) fate is swallowed into a whirlwind of upheaval following her encounters with the royal consorts—each harboring their own secret agendas—and the First Empress Boraqchin.

    Alongside the trailer, a stunning special visual has also been released, bringing together Sitara (Fatima) and the royal consorts who are set to shake the Mongol Empire. Enveloped in a mysterious and majestic aura, their intersecting glances and hidden motives beautifully symbolize the rich, heavy court drama that is about to unfold.

    Third Main PV: https://youtu.be/QmCFp2Mfs9M

     

    Boraqchin

    Boraqchin (CV: Kujira)

    Ögedei’s first wife and Empress (the Great Khatun). Always calm, composed, and dignified, she is a woman of unfathomable depth. Believing that “in politics, it is crucial to pull strings beneath the surface,” she secretly devises strategies, deeply concerned about the empire’s future and the imbalance of power.

    Third Main PV cuts

    Comment from Kujira

    I’m Kujira, the voice of Boraqchin.
    When I was offered the role, the first thing that came out of my mouth was:
    “You actually found Kujira and cast me?!”

    I’ve always loved history, and I’d already been reading the original manga as a fan. So I never imagined I’d be cast in the anime—especially in this role.

    Boraqchin is a quiet, composed strategist who rarely lets anyone see what she’s really thinking. She’s a mysterious character who will eventually stand in the way of Töregene and Sitara.

    I’m usually known for playing warm-hearted, straightforward, larger-than-life auntie characters, so this role is a whole new kind of “auntie” for me.

    Recording was a constant process of trial and error, and with everyone’s support, we carefully shaped and brought Boraqchin to life together.

    I hope you’ll enjoy the battle of wits between Töregene & Sitara vs. Boraqchin—a story where brilliant minds clash.

    Overview

    Story

    A young girl and an empress.

    Bound by a shared desire for revenge, the two will shake the mightiest empire the world has ever known.

    After losing her mother and being torn far from her homeland, a young girl named Sitara is taken in by Fatima, a kind-hearted lady from a family of scholars.

    “If you study and become wise, no matter what trouble befalls you, you’ll know the best way forward.”

    Deeply moved by the words of Fatima’s son, Muhammad, Sitara comes to understand the possibilities and importance of knowledge and begins to deepen her education.

    She dreams that one day, she might catch up with Muhammad, who has set off on a journey in pursuit of wisdom…

    Meanwhile, under the reign of Emperor Genghis Khan, the mighty Mongol Empire continues its unstoppable march, conquering nation after nation and expanding its influence across the world. Before long, the tides of history reach the city where Sitara lives.

    After losing everything to Tolui, the empire’s Fourth Prince, and being taken captive, Sitara resolves to use the only thing she has left, her intellect, to infiltrate the royal court and bring down the empire from within.

    She does so while taking on the name “Fatima,” inherited from her mistress.

    Though a flame of revenge burns within her heart, Sitara outwardly devotes herself to serving the empire. One day, she has a fateful encounter with Töregene, the sixth wife of the Third Prince, Ögedei. Haunted by a tragic past of her own, Töregene too carries a deep hatred for the empire within her heart.

    Sitara and Töregene, two women who were never meant to meet. The moment they join hands, the wheels of fate begin to turn.

    Here we introduce the Artist Room “Fireworks” (available from September 2025) by Ayaïro. In this interview she speaks about the background to her work and the thoughts she carried into the room.

    Ayairo shares the inspiration and creative story behind her artwork.

    From English to Art: How Ayaïro Became a Japanese Artist

    Q1. You graduated from Tokyo University of Foreign Studies with a degree in English before taking the path of an artist. Could you tell us about your background, and what first drew you to art?

    It may look as though I have moved between unrelated things, but within me it all connects in a single line. I loved to draw from the time I was small, and a fascination with Hollywood actors led me to study English; then, through studying abroad, I came into contact with other cultures. As I did, I began to look more closely at my own identity, and it was the sense that drawing let me understand something about myself that led me to start painting works themed on childhood.

     

    Satoyama and Childhood: The Origins of Her Japanese Art

    Q2. Your works depicting Japan’s satoyama landscapes and the children who live in them have a distinctive world of their own, one that carries a sense of nostalgia. Could you tell us how memories of childhood shape the way you paint today, and what thoughts you bring to your work?

    The way I see my own work has changed a great deal since I began. I no longer feel a strong awareness of “painting in order to convey something”; the work begins from an impulse — something moves me. As I go, I select and discard, over and over, and only afterwards do I realize what drew me. That process itself has become the axis of my practice.

    What I am expressing, as a result, is not the landscape itself but the sensation it gives rise to. To me, exploring that sensation is what creation is. I am strongly drawn to what rises up suddenly out of light and shadow, out of dusk, out of the ripple of water — beautiful, yet unable to hold its form; present, yet impossible to grasp. Childhood as a theme holds that same transience: it stays vivid in memory, and yet you can never return to it. I feel that I keep painting in order to understand “the beauty of transience” — the thread that has drawn me all along.

     Motifs that layer memories of childhood over satoyama scenes give the space its sense of story.

     

    An Entire Room as Canvas: Creating an Immersive Art Experience

    Q3. This project treated an entire guest room as a canvas, which must have made it a special experience, different from your previous work. Could you tell us how ideas differ when the expression takes in the space itself, what new challenges you took on, and where you found ingenuity — or difficulty?

    I usually paint on a flat canvas, and this was my first time working across a full 360-degree space. I approached it not as a work to be “looked at” but as a space to be “experienced” — designing everything from the scale and placement of the fireworks to the open space and the flow from the corridor, all in pursuit of a sense of immersion. Because this is a hotel, I felt the work had to stay close to the stay experience itself, and I was particularly conscious of using open space to create a room where guests can spend their time in comfort. What changed most in this project was not the motif but the perspective — seeing the entire space as a single experience.

     

    The Story and the Colors Behind the “Fireworks” Art Installation

    Q4. Seeing the room in person, we were struck by its warmth — a space that opens into a world only you could create. Could you tell us about the story and the concept behind it?

    I chose fireworks as a motif for their Japanese character. The fireworks painted on the window glass catch their own reflection, creating a sense of unity in which outside and inside seem to run continuously into one another, so that the space feels all the more expansive. Fireworks are brilliant and exhilarating in the moment you see them, and yet they carry a fleetingness — gone in an instant. They are also a motif that symbolizes “the beauty of transience,” and I layered their brilliance with that transience in my expression.

    Color is an element of great importance to me. The gradation of dusk expresses the very sensation of shifting — not distinctly, but hazily, wavering — and it is one of the expressions I hold most dear. By bringing black into the upper part of the room, I let the flow of time and a sense of depth come through, and I was conscious of the balance that draws the whole together. I painted with care for expression rooted in my own sensations.

     Artist Room: a live-in studio where artists create during their residency. The entire space is designed as an “experience.”

     

    A Message to Guests from Overseas: Touching Japanese Culture

    Q5. Park Hotel Tokyo welcomes many guests from overseas. What kind of experience would you like them to have in this room? And do you have a message for the guests who stay here?

    Fundamentally, I hold no set intention of “this is how I want you to feel”; more than anything, I would be happy if you would simply enjoy the space freely. If I had to name one thing: how people feel about fireworks differs greatly from culture to culture, country to country. In Japan, I think many people share a sense of them as something not only beautiful, but attended by the fleetingness and the ache of a summer that vanishes in an instant. That delicate aesthetic sense is, I feel, one of the things that makes Japan Japan. So for guests visiting from overseas, I would be very glad if a stay in this room became an occasion to touch Japanese sensibility.

     The Artist Room “Fireworks,” painted in delicate hues, embodies the theme of the beauty found in impermanence and subtle fluctuations.
