BingX Partners with Save the Children to Support Children at Risk in Western Balkans

Published

on

The new partnership will support migrant children and children at risk of poverty and exclusion by strengthening resilience systems in the Western Balkans through community-based services working alongside well-established local NGO partners.

PANAMA CITY, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BingX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3-AI company, has partnered with Save the Children Hong Kong to enable Save the Children’s “Safety Nets and Resilient Families” thematic work in the Western Balkans, supporting children in underprivileged settings in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina affected by migration, poverty and social exclusion.

This partnership marks Save the Children Hong Kong’s first collaboration with a cryptocurrency company and reflects a shared commitment to leveraging innovation to create meaningful social impact for children and families affected by poverty, displacement and social exclusion.

Implemented in collaboration with Save the Children, the initiative will provide humanitarian assistance to refugee and migrant children through cash vouchers and essential non-food items. As children and families seek refuge in Europe, many transit through a key country on the so-called Balkans route, Bosnia and Herzegovina, where they often face significant hardships at every stage of their journey. Save the Children is the only organization providing cash voucher assistance as a core component of its child protection response, helping families meet their essential daily needs while preserving dignity and choice.

Through the partnership, BingX will also support comprehensive protection and education services for children at risk of poverty and exclusion through community-based drop-in centres run by local NGO partners with proven expertise in the communities they serve. With one in five children living at risk of poverty and exclusion in Serbia, and one in three children living in consumption-based poverty in Bosnia and Herzegovina*, these community centres are of critical importance. They support children facing a range of challenges, including those living in substandard conditions in informal settlements, children engaged in street work, and those at risk of violence and child marriage—all of whom are disproportionately affected by extreme poverty, discrimination, and social exclusion.

At these centres, children have access to safe and supportive environments managed by experienced child protection professionals. Services include nutritious food, hygiene assistance, psychosocial support, educational guidance, legal aid, counselling, and family-strengthening programs.

Nevena Milutinovic, Save the Children Northwest Balkans Country Director, said: “Every child deserves to be protected and have a chance at a better future—and together with our partners, we work to make sure they grow up supported and included. Through our partnership with BingX, we can continue reaching children and families who need support and strengthen community drop-in centres—places that make a real difference for children facing some of the greatest barriers in the region. Children tell us that support like cash vouchers and community centres means much more than basic services. These are interventions that ensure they feel seen and supported by caring adults, make friends, feel secure, gain access to education and new opportunities, and reclaim their childhood.”

“Innovation creates its greatest value when it helps address real-world challenges. At BingX, we are committed to fostering a safe and secure future—not only within the digital asset ecosystem, but also within the communities around us. Children are the foundation of tomorrow, and every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Through our partnership with Save the Children, we are proud to help protect the future by supporting children facing poverty, displacement, and social exclusion,” said Pablo Monti, BingX Spokesperson. “This partnership also forms part of BingX’s broader commitment to supporting education, inclusion, and community resilience initiatives globally, reflecting the company’s belief that technological innovation should create positive impact beyond the digital economy.”

AULUMU Introduces the ADuo Particle Aramid Fiber Case for iPhone Duo

Published

1500D aramid fiber meets a universe-inspired particle array, combining technical aesthetics with everyday protection

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AULUMU, the design-driven accessories brand known for blending futuristic aesthetics with functional engineering, introduces the ADuo Particle Aramid Fiber Case for iPhone Duo. Part of the brand’s Particle Series, the new case combines a lightweight 1500D aramid-fiber construction with a distinctive particle-array design, dual-screen protection, and MagSafe compatibility in a slim, technical form.

Inspired by the primordial order of the universe and tactical aesthetics, the ADuo Particle transforms a finely woven surface into a dynamic visual composition. Its precisely arranged particles create a sense of depth and structure, evoking the ubiquitous particles found throughout the universe. The result is a design that balances visual complexity with a restrained, functional aesthetic.

At the core of the ADuo Particle is 1500D aramid fiber, selected for its refined woven texture and lightweight strength. The finely woven material creates a distinctive tactile surface while maintaining a slim profile for everyday carrying. A skin-friendly coating further enhances grip and makes routine cleaning easier, bringing material refinement and practical usability together.

The ADuo Particle is available in two finishes, each interpreting the particle-array concept through a different visual language. Abyss Blue features a UV-processed gradient particle array, creating a sense of depth through a gradual shift in color. Polar Black combines glossy particles with black aramid fabric, producing a subtle interplay of light and shadow that changes with the viewing angle. Together, the two colorways offer distinct expressions of the same technical design language.

Beyond its visual identity, the ADuo Particle integrates a series of protective details designed for everyday use. A full-coverage PC protective frame surrounds the front screen, helping protect its edges and corners. An aluminum-alloy camera guard adds protection around the camera area, while raised edges around the screen and camera help reduce direct contact with surrounding surfaces. These elements complement the slim construction without adding unnecessary visual bulk.

The case also supports compatible MagSafe accessories, extending its functionality beyond basic device protection. Users can pair it with magnetic accessories, including the AULUMU G09 Mag Stand, to create a more flexible setup for everyday work, viewing, and mobile use. By combining magnetic compatibility with a refined aramid-fiber exterior, the ADuo Particle fits naturally into a technical, minimalist everyday carry setup.

The ADuo Particle reflects AULUMU’s ongoing approach to product design: bringing material innovation, functional details, and a distinctive industrial aesthetic into everyday technology accessories. Rather than treating protection and appearance as separate priorities, the case integrates both into a cohesive design built around the character of the device and the needs of daily use.

AULUMU is also developing two additional ADuo Aramid Fiber Case variations: a distinctive all-white edition and a gradient edition inspired by the visual direction of the A18 Ultra Slim Gradient Aramid Fiber Case. Release dates for both versions have yet to be determined.

Available on the AULUMU website for $89.98

What is More

AULUMU is also preparing a special limited version of ADuo Particle Aramid Fiber Case which is the world first All-White Aramid Fiber case. The release date for this case has not yet been determined.

Crab2B Debuts as Hong Kong’s First Dedicated B2B Platform for Mobile Electronics

Published

By

HONG KONG, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — With the global population surpassing 8 billion, mobile electronics have become essential to modern life, with smartphones now used by billions of people. Across approximately 13,861 cities worldwide, electronics wholesalers play a vital role in the supply chain. Among the world’s three major wholesale hubs for digital electronics, Dubai serves the Middle East and Africa, Miami connects markets across Latin America, and Hong Kong draws strength from its unique position linking mainland China with global markets. According to Hong Kong Customs data, re-exports of used mobile phones from Hong Kong reached 51.5 million units in 2025, while the total value of electronics exports hit HK$3.9216 trillion. Yet despite its value running into the trillions of Hong Kong dollars, it has long lacked a dedicated online platform.

Crab2B was created to fill this gap as Hong Kong’s first B2B platform dedicated to mobile electronics. Inspired by Alibaba’s online B2B marketplace model, the platform focuses on consumer electronics, bringing together hundreds of thousands of buyers and sellers worldwide and enabling them to connect directly.

Crab2B covers a broad range of products, including smartphones, tablets, laptops and other smart devices. Listings span brand-new and used devices, as well as certified pre-owned (CPO) and as-is products. The platform also connects buyers and suppliers with service providers offering product inspection, international logistics and repair services. Users can search for products by brand and model, while all merchants undergo rigorous verification before joining the platform. With these safeguards in place, Crab2B is designed to meet the needs of businesses across the value chain, protect the interests of both buyers and sellers, and facilitate mutually beneficial transactions.

Building on Hong Kong’s established trading network, Crab2B made its debut at the HKICEC Global Mobile Exchange Pavilion during the Global Sources Hong Kong Shows, held at AsiaWorld-Expo from October 18 to 21, 2026, where it also launched the Crab2B app. Looking ahead, Crab2B will remain firmly rooted in Hong Kong while expanding its global reach, continuing to refine the platform to deliver a smarter, more comprehensive digital marketplace for mobile electronics. By helping international buyers identify suitable suppliers, simplifying cross-border sourcing and reducing transaction costs, Crab2B aims to support the continued growth of Hong Kong’s digital trade sector and contribute to the city’s long-term prosperity and stability.
