Published

on

Former CEO of The Hillman Group and Hampton Products International brings deep hardware industry expertise and a proven track record of scaling businesses and enterprise value creation to support SPG’s next phase of growth.

IRVINE, Calif., May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Safety Products Global (SPG), the parent company of Klever™, Slice®, and Pacific Handy Cutter™ (PHC) brands, and a category leader in workplace cutting safety solutions, today announced the appointment of Gregory J. Gluchowski Jr. to its Board of Directors.

Gluchowski is a veteran consumer and industrial products executive with more than 35 years of leadership across global hardware, security, and manufacturing businesses, with a proven track record of scaling companies through operational transformation, strategic acquisition, and innovation-led growth.

His appointment comes as SPG accelerates its growth as a unified platform, expanding its national footprint and deepening enterprise partnerships amid increasing demand for safer cutting solutions. As companies across industrial and commercial sectors prioritize reducing workplace injuries, improving compliance, and lowering total cost of ownership, the category is rapidly modernizing, and SPG is leading the shift from traditional cutting tools to safer, smarter alternatives.

Gluchowski will support SPG’s board on long-term strategy, operational scaling, and enterprise value creation as the company continues to grow its impact across the industrial distribution channel. SPG’s momentum is further reinforced by recognition from two of North America’s largest industrial distributors: W.W. Grainger, which recently honored the company with its 2025 Partners in Performance Award, and Fastenal, which named Slice a Best-in-Class Supplier in its Class 4 supplier category.

Leadership Perspective

“Greg is exactly the kind of director you want in the room when a company is scaling,” said Jarrod Streng, President and CEO of Safety Products Global. “I worked alongside him at The Hillman Group during one of the most significant transformations in that company’s history, and I saw firsthand how he thinks about growth, talent, and enterprise value. SPG is in a similar moment, redefining what safe looks like in a category undergoing rapid transformation, and Greg’s perspective will sharpen how we get there.”

“SPG is operating at the intersection of two things I care about deeply, building enduring consumer and industrial brands, and doing work that genuinely protects people,” said Gluchowski. “The company has the product portfolio, the channel partnerships, and the leadership team to build a category-leading platform for the long term. I’m looking forward to supporting Jarrod and the board as SPG continues to scale.”

About Gregory J. Gluchowski Jr.

Gluchowski most recently served as President and CEO of Hampton Products International, where he led a comprehensive transformation that drove exceptional enterprise value creation and a highly successful shareholder outcome. Prior to Hampton, he served as President and CEO of The Hillman Group, growing the business from $800 million to $1.3 billion in revenue and positioning the company for its 2021 public market debut.

Earlier in his career, he led the $1.2 billion Hardware & Home Improvement division at Stanley Black & Decker and Spectrum Brands, where he championed the launch of first-to-market smart lock technology.

Gluchowski currently serves as an Independent Director of American Outdoor Brands and UniKey Technologies, and previously served as an independent director of Milacron prior to its acquisition by Hillenbrand. He holds an MBA from Indiana University and a B.S. in Organizational Leadership from Purdue University.

Published

on

By

Trading of XRPHAI/USDT begins on BitMart on 14 July 2026 at 10:00 UTC as XRP Healthcare expands its AI healthcare ecosystem with intelligent healthcare agents, Proof of Health™ and blockchain-powered healthcare engagement.

DUBAI, UAE, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — XRP Healthcare, the first AI healthcare platform built on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), today announced that XRPHAI, its healthcare engagement and rewards utility token, will begin trading on the global digital asset exchange BitMart on 14 July 2026 at 10:00 UTC.

The listing significantly expands global access to the XRP Healthcare ecosystem through one of the industry’s established digital asset exchanges, introducing XRPHAI to BitMart’s global community of more than 13 million registered users while supporting the company’s long-term growth strategy.

Unlike traditional digital asset projects, XRP Healthcare has developed an integrated AI healthcare ecosystem where blockchain infrastructure, intelligent healthcare agents, Proof Of Health™ and Earn Rewards for Healthy Actions work together to deliver meaningful real-world healthcare utility.

Within the ecosystem, the XRPH Wallet provides secure, non-custodial blockchain infrastructure built on the XRP Ledger, supporting XRPH, XRPHAI, XRP and RLUSD. Complementing this infrastructure, the XRPH AI App delivers AI healthcare engagement through AI Health Assessments, Proof Of Health™, Earn Rewards for Healthy Actions, CalmXRPH, Doctor Finder and Prescription Savings, with XRPHAI serving as the healthcare engagement and rewards utility token that powers eligible healthy actions throughout the platform.

Through Proof Of Health™, XRP Healthcare transforms healthy actions into measurable digital participation. Eligible users can earn XRPHAI rewards by completing qualifying activities within the XRPH AI App, encouraging healthier lifestyles while creating meaningful real-world utility across the ecosystem.

“Today’s BitMart listing represents an important milestone in expanding global access to the XRP Healthcare ecosystem,” said Kain Roomes, CEO and Co-Founder of XRP Healthcare.

XRP Healthcare continues advancing the rollout of its XRPH AI Health Advisor™, building upon the platform’s existing artificial intelligence capabilities.

With Phase 1 completed and Phase 2 nearing completion, the Advisor is evolving with agentic AI capabilities, combining contextual understanding, conversational memory, intelligent navigation and increasingly personalised healthcare guidance across the XRPH AI App.

Rather than functioning as a conventional chatbot, the XRPH AI Health Advisor™ is being developed to understand user context, remember previous interactions, intelligently navigate platform features and provide increasingly relevant healthcare guidance based on individual goals, behaviours and ongoing engagement.

Future development phases will continue expanding the XRPH AI Health Advisor™ with increasingly intelligent reasoning, personalised guidance and deeper integration across the XRP Healthcare ecosystem, supporting the company’s long-term vision of making AI healthcare more intelligent, adaptive and accessible.

Building on Innovation Across the XRP Ledger

XRP Healthcare believes the convergence of artificial intelligence, blockchain infrastructure and intelligent software agents represents one of the most significant opportunities in digital healthcare over the coming decade.

Against this backdrop, XRP Healthcare is uniquely positioned as the first AI healthcare platform built on the XRP Ledger, combining blockchain-powered healthcare infrastructure with intelligent healthcare engagement through one connected ecosystem.

Its modular architecture allows the XRPH Wallet to provide blockchain infrastructure while the XRPH AI App delivers AI healthcare experiences, enabling both platforms to evolve independently while strengthening the overall ecosystem.

Expanding Global Access Through BitMart

Trading of the XRPHAI/USDT pair is scheduled to commence on 14 July 2026 at 10:00 UTC on BitMart.

Founded in 2017, BitMart has grown into a leading global digital asset exchange serving more than 13 million registered users worldwide. The

platform supports more than 1,700 digital assets and trading pairs across users in more than 200 countries and regions, providing broad international access to digital asset markets.

The BitMart listing represents XRP Healthcare’s second major centralised exchange listing, further expanding accessibility while supporting continued ecosystem growth and international participation.

Users can view the latest official XRPHAI exchange listings through XRP Healthcare’s official Where to Buy XRPHAI page, which will continue to be updated as additional exchange listings are announced.

Transparency Through Fixed Supply

XRPHAI has a verified circulating supply of 100,000,000 tokens on CoinMarketCap.

The XRPHAI issuing account has been permanently blackholed, ensuring that no additional XRPHAI tokens can ever be created. This fixed-supply model reflects XRP Healthcare’s commitment to transparency, scarcity and the long-term sustainability of its healthcare engagement ecosystem.

Binance Marks Nine Years: Nearly Half of All Crypto Holders Use Binance, $156 Trillion in All-Time Volume, and a Growing Vision Beyond Crypto

Published

on

By

From crypto exchange to multi-asset financial platform, Binance marks nine years of growth driven by its global community and sets its sights on three billion users

ABU DHABI, UAE, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today marks its ninth anniversary with more than 323 million registered users across over 100 countries. When Binance launched in July 2017, fewer than 6 million people worldwide owned cryptocurrency. Today, that number exceeds 741 million, representing growth of more than 12,000% in under a decade. Binance’s user base has grown from zero to 323 million over the same period, meaning roughly 43% of all crypto holders worldwide now use Binance.

The milestone arrives as digital assets move from the margins of global finance to the mainstream. Institutional participation is at record levels, with ETFs and digital asset trusts now holding over 12% of circulating BTC supply. Regulatory frameworks are forming across the G20, the EU, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The lines between traditional finance and crypto infrastructure are blurring in ways that would have been difficult to predict when Binance launched.

For Binance, the anniversary is more than a reflection of nine years of growth. It is also a statement of intent: to become the world’s leading financial super app, bringing access to global markets to its target of over three billion users worldwide.

Binance’s Scale at a Glance:

323 million registered users globally, up roughly 7% in H1 2026 alone, representing approximately 43% of all crypto holders worldwideOver $156 trillion in cumulative all-time trading volume across all products (up 7.8% from $145T at year-end 2025), a figure that exceeds the combined annual GDP of the United States, China, Japan, Germany, and the United KingdomInstitutional users grew 9% in H1 2026, reflecting continued maturation of the buyer base$80B+ in monthly TradFi trading volume since March 202611% more coins and 3% more trading pairs added in H1 2026, broadening market access

From Crypto Exchange to Multi-Asset Platform
Over the past year, Binance extended its product suite into traditional financial instruments, including stock trading, ETFs, and pre-IPO perpetuals, alongside its existing digital asset offerings. These products are built on Binance’s blockchain-native infrastructure, enabling stablecoin settlement, 24/7 market access, and cross-asset functionality within a single platform.

The early traction has been significant:

Since March this year, TradFi products on Binance have generated over $80B in monthly trading volume.Direct stocks, launched in June 2026, reached $1B in assets under management (AUM) within 30 days of launch, alongside over $3B in cumulative trading volume.bStocks, tokenized 1:1 U.S. securities on Binance that trade 24/7, crossed $100M in AUM within 2 weeks of launch.47% of bStocks trading volume takes place outside U.S. market hours, reflecting demand for round-the-clock market access.

Even as Binance expands into new asset classes, its core crypto business continues to demonstrate the depth and resilience that have defined its market position since year one:

Binance has now processed $156.4 trillion in all-time trading volume, adding roughly $11.4 trillion in the first half of 2026 alone, a 7.8% increase from year-end 2025.Institutional users also grew 9% over the same period, reinforcing the trend of professional capital deepening its participation in digital assets.This growth occurred despite a more challenging market environment in H1 2026, indicating that user engagement is driven by structural participation rather than short-term market cycles.

Building Toward Three Billion Users
The expansion into traditional financial products reflects Binance’s vision of building the world’s leading financial super app that consolidates trading, payments, savings, and access to global markets on a single platform. The path to three billion users runs through markets that traditional institutions have historically underserved, where blockchain-native infrastructure can deliver financial services at a cost and scale that legacy systems cannot match.

Industry data supports the scale of the opportunity. It is estimated that 741 million people own crypto globally, compared to approximately 630 million online brokerage accounts. Crypto infrastructure already reaches more people than traditional equity brokerage, and that gap is widening.

“Nine years ago, we set out to increase the freedom of money globally. What we have built is infrastructure that works for everyone. It works whether you are a retail trader in an emerging market or an institutional investor in a financial centre. When we launched in 2017, fewer than 6 million people owned crypto. Today, 741 million do, and 323 million of them are on Binance. That is not just growth. It is a shift in how the world accesses finance. We are only at the beginning,” said Yi He, Co-CEO of Binance.

“323 million people chose to trust us with their money. That is not something we take lightly. Every decision we make, every product we build, every market we enter starts with the question of whether it serves the people who put their faith in us. Today, 43% of all crypto holders worldwide use Binance. As the financial frontier moves toward the intersection of crypto and traditional finance, that trust becomes even more significant. Expanding beyond crypto into stocks, ETFs, and tokenized securities is part of that same commitment. Users deserve access to global markets, and we intend to give it to them,” said Richard Teng, Co-CEO, Binance.

Built by the Community
This year, Binance marks its anniversary under the theme “Built by You.” The theme reflects the company’s belief that its growth over the past nine years was shaped not by the platform alone, but by the millions of users who traded, learned, built, and participated on it.

To mark the occasion, Binance has launched “Built by You,” a global anniversary campaign celebrating the community that helped shape Binance. The campaign features up to $4.5 million in rewards and an interactive journey across nine landmarks in ‘Binance City’, each tied to a different part of the Binance ecosystem.
