KuCoin Unveils 5.0, Building Trust into Every Layer of the User Experience

Published

on

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos Islands, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, today unveiled KuCoin 5.0, a comprehensive platform upgrade designed to make trust tangible across the way users trade, manage assets and interact with the platform.

KuCoin 5.0 is the product expression of the global brand initiative “Trust, Built-in.” Introduced under KuCoin’s enduring “Trust First. Trade Next.” proposition, the upgrade spans six areas—Compliance, Technology, Assets, Experience, AI and Wealth Management—bringing them together around a more unified, efficient and user-centered platform experience rather than centering on a single feature.

Among the most visible changes in KuCoin 5.0 are a redesigned experience that creates clearer paths for different types of users; an AI service layer that extends across the platform; and more flexible ways to trade, manage and put assets to work. Underneath these user-facing changes, KuCoin is also strengthening the technology, compliance and asset foundations that support the platform as it continues to evolve.

A Clearer, More Inclusive Experience

KuCoin 5.0 makes everyday use of the platform clearer and more flexible. Profile Center 2.0 introduces a cleaner visual design and a card-based layout that makes information and frequently used functions easier to find. The upgraded sub-account system streamlines account creation, strengthens security controls and improves sub-account management. Enhanced K-line charts offer more practical tools and real-time data, with settings that sync across devices to help users follow the market more efficiently.

KuCoin 5.0 also introduces a color vision accessibility mode, making charts and other visual information easier to distinguish for users with different color vision needs. An estimated 360 million people worldwide experience some degree of difficulty distinguishing colors. By offering a clearer visual experience, KuCoin aims to make the platform more accessible to more users. The Lite and Pro experiences offer paths suited to different levels of familiarity and trading needs.

For users with more advanced trading needs, KuCoin 5.0 introduces the Unified Trading Account (UTA), now available to eligible KuCoin users at VIP1 and above. UTA brings spot, margin and futures trading into a shared framework for funds, margin and risk management. This reduces the need to transfer funds between separate accounts and supports more efficient use of capital across eligible products.

AI That Extends Across the User Journey

KuCoin 5.0 introduces a major upgrade to AI Assistant 5.0, creating a unified AI entry point that brings together conversations, Q&A and task completion across the platform. Spanning market insights, Earn, trading, customer support and campaigns, the assistant uses page context and user actions to better understand what users need, recommend relevant services and help them complete tasks.

Making Assets Work More Efficiently

KuCoin 5.0 connects earning and trading more closely through exclusive wealth management products and benefits for VIP users, Earn access through sub-accounts, and support for selected wealth assets within the Unified Trading Account framework. Main accounts and sub-accounts can participate in Earn while managing funds separately, while KCUSD can be used as margin within the Unified Trading Account, reducing the need to move funds repeatedly between earning and trading activities.

These user-facing changes are supported by continued development across KuCoin’s Compliance, Technology and Assets foundations. Together, the six upgrade areas form a platform designed to remain straightforward where possible and provide greater control where needed.

“Trust should be something users can experience in every interaction—not only in how their assets are protected, but in how clearly, reliably and efficiently the platform works,” said BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin. “KuCoin 5.0 is an important step in translating our long-term commitment to trust into the product itself. By bringing our core capabilities into a more connected, intuitive and intelligent platform, we are giving users greater confidence and control today while building the foundation for the next stage of digital finance.”

KuCoin 5.0 establishes the foundation for the platform’s next phase of development. By connecting trading, asset management and intelligent services through a clearer experience, KuCoin is building a platform designed for how users participate today and how digital finance will continue to evolve.

Next-generation delivery initiative combines AI-powered execution, intelligent solutions and adoption services

BIELEFELD, Germany, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NTT DATA Business Solutions, a leading global IT service provider and specialist in SAP solutions, today announces the launch of “Elevate”, its next-generation Agentic AI-powered delivery framework. Elevate brings together the company’s secure AI-enabled platform NTT DATA aXet, Natuvion‘s data transformation capabilities and SAP technologies, including SAP’s Agent-Led Toolchain and SAP Business AI Platform. Elevate is designed to maximize the value clients gain from their investments in SAP and emerging AI technologies. This reflects NTT DATA Business Solutions’ ongoing commitment to advancing the future of enterprise transformation in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Organizations are under pressure to modernize ERP environments through initiatives such as RISE with SAP while simultaneously adopting AI as a driver of business transformation. Yet these initiatives are often managed separately, creating complexity and slowing execution.

“We have reached a point where every transformation is becoming an AI-driven business transformation, creating a path toward more autonomous business operations,” says Norbert Rotter, CEO of NTT DATA Business Solutions. “Elevate is our response to this shift. We are reshaping how transformation is delivered by combining human expertise with intelligent agents, AI-powered innovation and structured adoption. This enables our clients to move and adapt more quickly and realize stronger returns from their technology investments.”

“Elevate reflects how we are transforming our own organization to create greater value for our clients,” says Krunal Patel, Global AI, Innovation & Software Assets Leader at NTT DATA Business Solutions. “Rather than applying AI to isolated activities, we are embedding it into the way our people work, the way we deliver and the solutions we develop.”

Across industries, clients are already realizing value from AI-powered solutions delivered by NTT DATA Business Solutions. Recent examples include automated supplier confirmation processing for Lemvigh-Müller, AI-powered consulting workflow orchestration for zeb and intelligent sales order processing for Synthomer, enabling these companies to improve efficiency, accuracy and decision-making while keeping people in control.

NTT DATA aXet: powering the next generation of service delivery

A central element of the Elevate framework is NTT DATA Business Solutions’ evolution into an AI-powered delivery organization. At the core of this approach is NTT DATA aXet, the company’s secure delivery platform, developed within its own enterprise environment. Bringing together enterprise knowledge, proven delivery methodologies, governance frameworks, intelligent agents and delivery assets in a unified operating environment, NTT DATA aXet.elevate equips consultants across the SAP lifecycle with the tools and insights needed to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes at scale while helping to ensure security, traceability and human oversight. By standardizing delivery processes and automating repetitive activities, ultimately integrating with SAP’s Agent-Led Toolchain, this can help accelerate key activities associated with RISE with SAP transformations, including assessment, migration readiness, testing, clean-core adoption and innovation enablement, enabling faster and more consistent delivery outcomes.

Elevate is supported by a company-wide enablement program that equips consultants with the skills, confidence and mindset needed to work effectively alongside AI.

Unlocking new value through AI innovation

NTT DATA Business Solutions is investing across SAP Business AI and the SAP Business AI Platform to develop business-context-aware AI use cases and intelligent agents that support customers on their journey toward the Autonomous Enterprise through AI-powered process execution, intelligent decision support and business-wide orchestration.

Furthermore, NTT DATA Business Solutions is evolving its own software portfolio into AI-native solutions. Examples include GLASSWING, an intelligent master data management platform that enhances data quality, governance and compliance, and MAKIRA, an AI-powered document and content management solution that uses generative and agentic AI to automate document processing, knowledge retrieval and workflow orchestration. Through these innovations, clients gain access to AI-powered solutions that complement and extend their SAP investments while addressing real-world business and industry challenges.

Turning innovation into sustainable business value

New AI capabilities create value only when they are embraced by the people who use them and embedded into the way the organization operates. Elevate therefore combines AI readiness assessments, governance frameworks, workforce enablement and adoption services to help organizations translate innovation into measurable business outcomes.

By aligning technology, processes and people, clients can build AI-ready operating models, scale new capabilities with confidence and measure their impact across productivity, operational efficiency, service quality and organizational agility.

DPC Dash – Domino’s Pizza China Strengthens Market Presence in Q3 2026 with Continued Store Expansion, Product Innovation and Improving Sales Momentum

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DPC Dash – Domino’s Pizza China (“DPC Dash” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) (1405.HK), Domino’s Pizza’s exclusive master franchisee in the Chinese Mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, and the Macau Special Administrative Region of China, today published its Third Quarter 2026 Investor Fact Sheet.

During the third quarter, DPC Dash expanded its store network and broadened its product and marketing initiatives under its 4D strategy of Development, Delicious Pizza at Value, Delivery and Digital.

Under its “Go Deeper, Go Broader” strategy, the Company strengthened its presence in existing cities and extended its footprint into new markets. By September 30, 2026, DPC Dash operated 1,634 stores across 87 cities, including 908 stores in initial cities and 726 stores in new cities, representing a net addition of 84 stores and entry into 12 additional cities compared with the previous quarter. New cities continue to drive network expansion, accounting for approximately 44% of the total network.

Over the first nine months of 2026, the Company added 319 net new stores and entered 27 new cities.

As of September 30, DPC Dash had secured 100% of its full-year 2026 opening target of approximately 350 net new stores through stores already opened, under construction or signed, up from approximately 89% as of June 30.

In 3Q2026, DPC Dash achieved positive same-store transaction count growth (“SSTG”). Average transaction price (“ATP”) continued to stabilize and recorded a modest sequential uptick compared with 2Q2026, supported by a series of marketing initiatives, against the backdrop of the gradual rationalization of third-party aggregator platform (“3PP”) subsidies. Same-store sales growth (“SSSG”) remained negative, mainly because ATP was lower than in 3Q2025, despite healthy year-on-year transaction count growth and signs of gradual ATP recovery.

As the Company continued to roll out delivery services, delivery transactions accounted for 30% of total transaction volumes in New City Markets in 3Q2026, up from 25% in 1H2026. Third-party aggregator platforms remained an important channel as the Company further expanded its delivery business in these markets.

The continued expansion of the Company’s loyalty program supported its digital strategy and customer engagement, building a resilient proprietary platform ecosystem. As of September 30, 2026, total loyalty program members reached 45.2 million, compared with 32.9 million as of September 30, 2025. Over the past 12 months, approximately 19.9 million new customers placed their first orders through both the Company’s own channels and third-party channels.

On product innovation, DPC Dash introduced the Durian Roast Chicken Pizza, pairing generous portions of durian flesh with tender roast chicken to offer consumers a new taste experience.

On festive and seasonal marketing, DPC Dash re-hit its core product, the Salted Egg Yolk Flavored Chicken Pizza (金沙咸蛋黄嫩鸡比萨), with a limited-edition Star & Moon design for the Mid-Autumn Festival. During Major Heat (大暑), a traditional Chinese calendar period associated with peak summer heat, the Company ran a tongue-in-cheek campaign (“大暑食薯”), spotlighting seasonal potato pizza flavors to address summer dining demand.

To strengthen its value proposition, DPC Dash headlined the quarter with a RMB79 six-piece set comprising two 9-inch pizzas plus multiple sides and drinks, delivering standout value for money. The quarter’s offers also included an affordable solo combo and the limited-time return of “Mega Week”, a buy-one-get-one-free promotion on Signature and Classic Flavor pizzas.

To build emotional connections and encourage playful engagement, DPC Dash promoted its buy-one-get-one-free offers through social media content including “Favorite Brands and Flavors – You Have it All (招牌美味全都要)”, “Second One On The House (你的第二个比萨,达美乐请)” and “Pizza Freedom (比萨自由)”. The “Finding Domino’s Red & Blue” campaign invited customers to spot and share red-and-blue color pairings in everyday life, encouraging social media engagement and reinforcing Domino’s brand image.

Beyond its product and marketing initiatives, DPC Dash continued to receive recognition for its focus on quality and consumer trust. The Company was named to Southern Metropolis Daily’s 2026 Top100 High-Quality Consumer Brands (2026高品质消费品牌) list for the third consecutive year and was again named a Top10 High-Quality Consumer Brand (十大高品质消费品牌). DPC Dash also received Jiemian News’ 2026 Consumer Trust Award – Western Fast Food of the Year (2026安心奖-年度西式快餐).
