SYDNEY, June 22, 2026 /CNW/ — James Pinch, Managing Director of KuCoin in Australia, was invited to speak at Digital Economy Conference (DECON) 2026 in Sydney, joining Ashima Chaudhary, Vice President at Mastercard Australia, for a fireside chat titled “From Programmable Money to Everyday Commerce: Unlocking the Next Payment Era.” Moderated by Yasmine Amani, Head of Account Management at Banking Circle, the session explored how fiat, cards, stablecoins and digital assets are converging through multi-rail infrastructure to support the next phase of global commerce.

Representing KuCoin, Pinch shared how exchanges are evolving beyond trading platforms into infrastructure providers connecting liquidity, payments, and stablecoins to real-world utility. Drawing from nearly two decades of experience in financial services and digital assets, he noted that KuCoin’s approach in Australia reflects a broader global strategy: building responsibly within evolving regulatory frameworks while connecting KuCoin’s global product suite with the licensing, compliance and operating standards required in each market.

Pinch noted that the launch of KuCard in Australia reflects the ongoing evolution of digital asset adoption. For eligible users, KuCard enables supported crypto assets to be used more seamlessly for everyday spending through Mastercard’s global network, delivering a familiar payment experience while helping integrate digital assets into established consumer payment habits.

“Crypto does not succeed by remaining just an investment; it succeeds by morphing to also encompass other real world use cases like payment methods. Our role is to build an ecosystem where people talk about the technology less and simply use it for everyday life – like paying for coffee or bills – just as they do with a traditional bank card today,” said Pinch.

The discussion also addressed trust, compliance, security and consumer protection as core requirements for mainstream adoption. Pinch emphasized that as digital assets become more embedded within the broader financial system, strong governance, regulatory engagement and resilient infrastructure will remain essential to building long-term trust. He also highlighted KuCoin’s significant investment in highly skilled cybersecurity and infrastructure expertise, noting that protecting users and maintaining resilient systems must remain a top priority for major platforms, as it does for KuCoin.

Looking ahead, Pinch said artificial intelligence will be one of the key forces shaping the next stage of digital finance, particularly as commerce, payments and financial decision-making become increasingly automated. He pointed to KuCoin’s ongoing investment in crypto-native AI initiatives, saying, “When we look at an e-commerce business now, anyone can buy a domain, anyone can set up a website, and they can find a supplier. Where we start to see this fall apart is when we look at the payment function of this automation. It is not possible or at least very difficult to automate around fiat banking for this purpose, as it incurs delays and a range of other challenges, this is where KuCoin plays a unique role in this adaptation of disruptive technology.” Which is exactly what KuCoin has taken on, designing systems that support how users, developers and intelligent agents access market intelligence, on-chain information and crypto capabilities.

Pinch concluded that over the next three to five years, crypto payments may become less visible as a technology and more natural as a financial behaviour, with KuCard truly leading the way. “KuCard as a product, I think we talk about it less, right? If you think about just a typical card payment, no one talks about using the card and how they have a CBA card or how it’s a Mastercard. They just pay for a coffee, they pay the bills, whatever it may be. And we might abbreviate it when it comes to crypto, but we’ll stop talking about it, “said Pinch.

TurboFlow makes sophisticated trading simple, fair, and accessible

TurboFlow has processed $19.15B in total trading volume across 14.54k + total usersThe round is led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Susquehanna Crypto and Digital Currency Group (DCG)TurboFlow provides retail users with access to professional-grade market infrastructure through a transparent, high-liquidity platform that’s simple, fair, and accessible, built for the next generation of global traders

SINGAPORE, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TurboFlow, an on-chain trading ecosystem designed to bring institutional-grade market access to everyday users, today announced the closing of a $6 Million seed funding round led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Susquehanna Crypto and Digital Currency Group (DCG).

The funding will support TurboFlow’s mission to democratize access to sophisticated trading products by combining perpetual contracts and prediction markets within a single high-performance platform. Both categories are surging: according to CoinGecko Research, crypto perpetual futures volume climbed from $4.14 trillion to $7.24 trillion year-over-year by January 2026, while according to Artemis data, prediction market volumes grew nearly 4X in 2025 to $64B and are on pace to exceed $325B in 2026, with analysts projecting volumes could exceed $1.1 trillion by 2030.

The two markets are converging: perps let traders express a continuous view on an asset’s price, while prediction markets let them express a continuous view on an event’s outcome, two sides of the same underlying instinct to price uncertainty in real time. As that line between categories disappears, TurboFlow is built for exactly this shift, pairing institutional-grade infrastructure with an intuitive, consumer-focused platform that unifies both products into a single venue. The company will use the capital to expand product development, strengthen liquidity infrastructure, and accelerate global user growth.

“Our vision is simple: everyone deserves a seat at the table,” said Tony He, Founder of TurboFlow. “For too long, the best trading opportunities and infrastructure have been reserved for institutions. TurboFlow combines the simplicity consumers expect from modern apps with the liquidity, execution quality, and risk management systems traditionally available only to professional market participants. With the support of Pantera, Susquehanna Crypto, and DCG, we’re accelerating our mission to make powerful financial markets accessible to anyone, anywhere.”

TurboFlow is pioneering what it calls “high-velocity event trading” — a new approach to prediction and derivatives markets designed for speed, accessibility, and ease of use. The platform enables users to participate in markets with entry thresholds as low as $2 while benefiting from institutional-quality liquidity and pricing.

“Financial markets work best when participation is broad and access is equitable,” said Paul Veradittakit, Managing Partner at Pantera. “TurboFlow’s vision of making institutional-grade trading infrastructure available to anyone, anywhere aligns with our belief that blockchain technology can create more transparent and inclusive markets. With strong early traction and a clear product vision, we believe TurboFlow is building an important piece of the future of on-chain trading.”

Key features of the platform include:

Fast Settlements: Optimized infrastructure designed to support short-duration event contracts and rapid capital efficiency.Accessible Participation: Low minimum trade sizes that reduce barriers to entry for users worldwide.Consumer-First Design: A streamlined trading experience that abstracts blockchain complexity while preserving transparency and self-custody principles.

TurboFlow believes the convergence of prediction markets and perpetual trading represents a significant opportunity to create more efficient, transparent, and accessible financial markets. As the platform grows, the company plans to expand partnerships across the broader digital asset ecosystem and provide developers with access to its liquidity and risk infrastructure.

“This funding represents more than capital,” added He. “It’s validation that the future of trading should be more open, more intuitive, and more accessible. We’re building the infrastructure that allows anyone—not just institutions—to participate in global markets on equal footing.”
