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.”

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), an independent and non-political anti-corruption organisation with over 190 member anti-corruption authorities (ACAs) worldwide, will co-host IAACA Annual Conference 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco next month together with the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China (ICAC) and the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption of Morocco (INPPLC) to chart a path for the global graft fight and explore cutting-edge approaches to tackle emerging corruption challenges.

Themed “Building on 20 Years of Legacy: Drawing Strength from the Past, Guarding Global Integrity for the Future”, the international event will not only mark the 20th anniversary of the IAACA, but also provide a dynamic forum for IAACA members to exchange insights and enhance co-operation.

Calling on international counterparts to participate in the conference scheduled for November 25, IAACA President Mr Woo Ying-ming, who also serves as ICAC Commissioner, said that “As the IAACA marks its 20th anniversary, the conference will bring together global anti-corruption community at a pivotal moment for collective action. I anticipate that the valuable insights and new approaches generated through the international synergy will chart a resilient strategic path for us to navigate integrity risks and draw strength from our shared legacy to guard global integrity for generations to come.”

During the conference, renowned international experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Basel Institute on Governance, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, and global anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies and institutions will shed light on harnessing artificial intelligence in the fight against corruption, safeguarding integrity within global climate and biodiversity frameworks and analysing global corruption measurement and systemic effectiveness.

Following the conference, the ICAC, the INPPLC, the IAACA and the UNODC will co-organise a training seminar on leveraging AI in combating corruption.

While the ICAC and INPPLC will share how AI and new technology can reshape the future of anti-graft enforcement and corruption prevention, the UNODC will provide a global perspective on using AI models in financial crime investigations and addressing the operational relevance, legal robustness and adaptability across jurisdictions.

Viettel moves 100 million subscribers to home-grown cloud-native charging in three months – with zero downtime

Published

By

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (Viettel High Tech), part of Viettel Group, has migrated more than 100 million subscribers and some 5,000 tariff plans at Viettel, Vietnam’s largest mobile operator, to vOCS 4.0, its in-house cloud-native charging system. The three-month cutover ran on a live national network with no service disruption.

Replacing a charging system is one of the riskiest projects an operator can undertake, which is why many stick with legacy platforms. Viettel High Tech reduced the risk through real-time data synchronization, parallel running and a phased cutover, with instant rollback at every stage.

The project won the Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026 prize for Best Technology Deployment in Asia, a first for a Vietnamese company.

What it means for operators:

Scale: more than 300,000 transactions per second at latency below 5 milliseconds, across 2G–5G and fixed services on one platformLower cost: up to 50% less hardware investment than the previous generation, by sharing infrastructure with the networkAgility: new tariff plans in hours instead of days, new features three times faster and deployments about 30% fasterResilience: two active data centers about 2,000 km apart and automatic recovery in under two minutes

Viettel High Tech developed every core layer in-house, from a telecom-grade cloud-native platform and NFV-MANO orchestration to real-time charging, subscriber and balance management.

“Passing rigorous tests of real-time self-diagnosis and self-recovery is what allows an operator to keep its promise of 24/7 service to customers,” said Luu Manh Ha, CEO of Viettel Networks, which operates the system on Viettel’s network in Vietnam. “Above all, owning the charging system means an operator is not dependent on foreign vendors – it safeguards digital sovereignty and preserves business flexibility.”

“The charging system is where an operator’s business strategy turns into revenue in real time,” said Nguyen Minh Quang, CEO of Viettel High Tech. “We believe vOCS 4.0 is ready to help operators worldwide capture the value of 5G and digital services.”

In 2017, vOCS 4.0’s predecessor, vOCS 3.0, replaced a foreign vendor’s platform for 90 million Viettel subscribers. Across both generations, vOCS serves more than 220 million subscribers in 11 countries. Viettel High Tech now offers vOCS 4.0 to operators worldwide.
