Published

on

HONG KONG, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Luffa AI, a leading innovator at the intersection of Web3 and Artificial Intelligence, today announced a strategic equity investment from Hong Kong-listed GoFintech Quantum Innovation Limited (“GoFintech Quantum“, Stock Code: 00290.HK). The transaction values Luffa AI at US$220 million. The two parties will engage in deep strategic collaboration across artificial intelligence, quantum security, blockchain, and compliance fintech to jointly explore the new AI + Quantum Blockchain Fintech track.

The current internet is highly fragmented: identities are siloed and controlled by platforms, AI agents lack independent identities, wallets, and execution capabilities, value and payments are locked within closed ecosystems, and AI-generated content remains unverifiable with unclear compliance pathways. Luffa addresses these challenges through three core dimensions of super connectivity. In Community, it enables trusted DID-based self-sovereign identity, AI agent empowerment, and on-chain governance for true decentralized autonomy. In Content, channels become programmable and tradable value containers, supporting creator influence tokenization and multi-layered monetization. In Aggregation, the SuperBox open mini-app ecosystem, multi-chain wallets, LuffaPay intent-based payments, and multi-agent commercial protocols seamlessly connect applications across all scenarios. These three systems form a closed loop that bridges the critical gaps between users and identity, identity and assets, content and value, as well as online and offline experiences.

As of February 2026, Luffa’s ecosystem has achieved rapid growth, with over 3 million global downloads, 2 million registered users, and more than 150,000 daily active users. Its core products — Luffa Wallet and SuperBox Mini-App Platform — are now officially launched, with proven use cases in prediction markets, AI mini-games, RWA, creator economy, and community governance. In 2026, Luffa will focus on the AI-powered Web3 ecosystem to build a globally leading intelligent trading ecosystem.

This strategic investment represents a significant milestone for Luffa AI in advancing privacy-preserving infrastructure and intelligent interaction technologies. GoFintech Quantum has made multi-faceted deployments in quantum encryption algorithms and blockchain technology, with deep expertise in institutional financial services, GoFintech Quantum will provide strong technical backing for Luffa’s AI Agent infrastructure and privacy-secure communications, accelerating its global commercialization and ecosystem expansion.

Under the strategic cooperation framework, Luffa AI and GoFintech Quantum will collaborate globally in the following areas: joint research and development of AI-driven intelligent investment systems, on-chain financial automation platforms, and smart trading & risk management solutions; exploration of blockchain applications and digital asset compliance frameworks; development of RegTech solutions compliant with Hong Kong and international standards; advancement of quantum encryption for digital asset security and blockchain scenarios.

Michael Liu, CEO of Luffa AI, commented: “Luffa is redefining interaction in entertainment, culture, and commerce, giving users genuine ownership, privacy, and direct governance over the platform. GoFintech Quantum‘s profound capabilities in quantum financial security and cross-border compliance will provide a solid foundation for building the next generation of social and AI Agent infrastructure. Together, we are moving from imagining a better web to actively creating it.”

“We are thrilled to finalize our strategic investment in Luffa AI,” said Tianfu Yuan, CEO of GoFintech Quantum. “This is more than a milestone for our innovation-driven strategy; it is a pivotal step in exploring the convergence of quantum technology with AI and Web3. We look forward to working closely with the Luffa team to build a more secure and intelligent digital infrastructure.”

Exclusive license agreement, combined with core company-owned IP, further solidifies the potential of IPT-001 in metabolic disease and longevity

COPENHAGEN, Denmark and NEW YORK, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HERVolution Therapeutics ApS, a biotechnology company pioneering human endogenous retrovirus (HERV)-targeting immunotherapies for metabolic diseases, longevity, and oncology, today announced preclinical proof-of-concept for its proprietary technology in metabolic disease, presented at the American Diabetes Association 2026 Scientific Sessions, held June 5-8, 2026, in New Orleans. The company concurrently announced an exclusive license agreement with the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) covering the commercialization of HERV-targeting technology for controlling weight gain.

Studies conducted in collaboration with researchers at UCPH successfully applied HERVolution’s proprietary technology to engage endogenous retroviral targets in preclinical models of weight gain, demonstrating the ability of an immune therapy to control weight gain in a high fat diet plus underlying metabolic disease context.

In parallel, HERVolution and UCPH have entered into an exclusive license agreement as an outcome of their research collaboration. Under the agreement, HERVolution receives exclusive rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize products in the licensed field.

Together, the preclinical results and the licensing framework establish a foundation for HERVolution to advance HERV-targeting immunotherapies for metabolic diseases as a core therapeutic pillar alongside its oncology program, consistent with the Company’s broader ambition to apply its HERV-targeting platform across oncology, metabolic diseases, and ultimately longevity.

“These preclinical results are an important validation of our dark genome-derived technology beyond oncology. Demonstrating that our platform has broad utility to engage endogenous retroviral targets in metabolic disease models opens a meaningful direction for the Company,” said J. Robert Coleman, PhD, MBA, CEO of HERVolution Therapeutics. “The license agreement with the University of Copenhagen, combined with our solely owned, proprietary IP provides a strong foundational framework to advance a new class of off-the-shelf, HERV-targeting immunotherapies for some of the world’s most prevalent conditions.”

New platform investments help insurers scale internationally while supporting participation in the Lloyd’s specialty insurance marketplace

LONDON, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Duck Creek, the intelligent core of insurance, today announced its global expansion strategy and expanded support for insurers operating across international markets at London ENGAGE, its annual conference for insurance leaders across the UK and European markets. Building on its commitment to help carriers scale globally, Duck Creek introduced enhancements to its Multi-Country Layer architecture and announced a strategic investment to support the London Market, including plans to pursue Lloyd’s market certification.

As the world’s leading marketplace for specialty and multinational risk, the London Market depends on complex collaboration among brokers, syndicates, carriers, cover holders and partners, supported by highly specialised process flows, extensive data exchange and rigorous operational controls. Duck Creek is investing in capabilities designed to support participation in the London Market and plans to pursue Lloyd’s market certification as part of its broader strategy to serve the needs of insurers operating across this global insurance ecosystem.

Complementing these London Market capabilities is the continued expansion of Duck Creek’s Multi-Country Layer (MCL) hierarchy design, a foundational capability that enables insurers to manage global and regional operations through a unified framework. Generally available today, MCL spans Duck Creek Policy, Billing, Claims and Clarity, with expansion underway across digital solutions. Designed for multinational insurers, MCL provides a common operational framework that helps carriers enter new markets faster, reuse existing configurations, and maintain consistency across global operations while meeting local market requirements.

“Duck Creek has long been a leader in core insurance technology, helping insurers modernise policy administration, streamline operations, and adapt more quickly to changing market demands,” said Hardeep Gulati, Chief Executive Officer at Duck Creek. “Our investment in London Market capabilities extends that leadership into one of the world’s most sophisticated specialty insurance ecosystems. By expanding Duck Creek’s intelligent core systems to support London Market operations and connectivity requirements, we enable insurers to manage the full policy lifecycle more efficiently, improve operational agility, and build on the investments, partnerships, and market infrastructure they already depend upon.”

The company is focused on allowing insurers to more easily access and operate across international markets while reducing operational complexity by improving efficiency across the end-to-end insurance lifecycle. By combining cloud-native architecture, agentic intelligence and deep insurance expertise, Duck Creek helps carriers operate more efficiently across markets while remaining responsive to local requirements.

“Global growth is no longer just about entering new markets; it is about doing so with speed, consistency and control,” said Jose Lazares, Chief Product Officer at Duck Creek. “Duck Creek’s Multi-Country Layer gives insurers a reusable operating model for scaling across regions while adapting to local market requirements. Our investment in London Market capabilities strengthens that foundation, extending Duck Creek’s leadership in specialty policy underwriting into one of the world’s most complex insurance ecosystems. Together, these capabilities help carriers reduce operational complexity, strengthen underwriting discipline and pursue more profitable growth across markets.”

The MCL hierarchy provides a flexible and structured approach to managing multi-country configurations, enabling insurers to:

Reuse components across regions, avoiding duplicative set-up;Reduce implementation timelines with preconfigured, out-of-the-box structures; andAccelerate entry into new markets while maintaining governance and consistency.

Duck Creek currently supports insurers operating across major global markets, including North America, the United Kingdom and Ireland, India, Australia, New Zealand and more. Continued investment will expand support across additional European and Asia-Pacific markets.

By combining a modernised configuration model, intelligent automation and expanded support for global insurance ecosystems, Duck Creek empowers carriers to:

Execute international growth strategies without duplicating effort;Adapt quickly to local regulatory requirements; andReduce operational complexity across multi-country deployments.
