MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities
Using collected items in a dungeon quest as capital, players try to increase their in-game money strategically by trading KABU or shares while checking share price fluctuations. Players compete to escape from a dungeon within a set time with the highest earnings to be the winner.

To commemorate the release of the game, a popular YouTuber will livestream MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities game playthrough.

Items found in dungeon quests will be collected by a drone, a player’s buddy in dungeon quests, and automatically converted to in-game money. Players can use the money for trading Kabu while checking price fluctuations.

Players must complete a dungeon within a time limit. If they fail to escape a dungeon in the allowed time, players’ earned money will be reduced by half. Finding an escape pod is the key to success. Throughout the game, there are tricks to get the right time to trade Kabu and beat rivals. Use tricks, earn in-game money taking a broad view while grasping market trends, and clear the game.

[Check price chart] Throughout the game, KABU pricing chart will be on the screen. Keeping an eye on the chart and getting the right time to trade KABU is the key to maximize in-game money.

[Check information from a character] A non-playable character (NPC) appears in a dungeon. Catch and utilize KABU market price information from the NPC.

[Items to block rivals] Players can purchase items to block rival players with in-game money. Stop rivals for a certain time period with “traps,” limit their play zone with “walls,” and cloud their views by emitting smoke using “smoke.” With these items, players can block rivals who are trying to trade their Kabu, and gain the upper hand.

Capping off Seaport’s 2026 Summer Season in unforgettable fashion, the grand finale brings a powerhouse lineup of stars to the PremierXTM stage at Pier 17, featuring Lil Xan, Armani White, DJ Soda, Nate Wyatt, and surprise A-list guest headliners. Set against the iconic Manhattan skyline, the landmark eventing unites chart-topping hip-hop and high-octane electronic music for a festival-grade experience as The Rooftop at Pier 17 transforms into the city’s premier live music destination.

Building on the momentum of the PremierXTM After Party for the 2026 World Cup Final that took place in New York on July 19th, “AFTER DARK” signals the official debut of PremierXTM, a proprietary, New York – born global entertainment IP created by CSTS to deliver defining cultural experiences at the intersection of music, sport, art and lifestyle. Centred on the power of cultural crossover, PremierXTM serves as an international bridge connecting East and West, modern innovation and timeless classical, while uniting world-class artists, creators, performers and audiences through the universal language of entertainment and premium live experiences.

As a key pillar of CSTS’ integrated ecosystem spanning entertainment, sports, travel, integrated media and marketing solutions, PremierXTM further strengthens the Group’s ability to create high-impact experiences that connect audiences, destinations and brand partners. With the global live entertainment market projected to grow from approximately US$203 billion in 2025 to US$270 billion by 2030[1], PremierXTM is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for premium, experience-led entertainment while creating long-term value to the Group through recurring audience engagement, tourism and brand partnerships.

“PremierX TM represents a significant milestone in CSTS’ evolution from a leading operator of global sports and hospitality platforms into a creator of world-class entertainment experiences,” said Abel Zhao, Group CEO and Executive Director at CSTS Enterprises. “The season finale at Pier17 marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for CSTS as we expand our entertainment footprint and introduce a platform designed to deliver iconic live experiences and bring together artists and audiences from across the globe.”
