JAKARTA, Indonesia, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — D3 Labs, a provider of blockchain-based financial technology solutions, in collaboration with Indonesia’s state-owned bank PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk (BTN) and PT Reliance Manajer Investasi (RMI), has developed the first property asset tokenization product in Indonesia. This was achieved through a blockchain technology-based Real Estate Investment Fund (REIT) scheme. This achievement is the outcome of BTN’s collaboration with PT Reliance Manajer Investasi (RMI) as an investment manager and D3 Labs as a blockchain technology provider for digital asset tokenization.

In this partnership, D3 Labs plays a critical role in providing banking-grade tokenization infrastructure, empowering emerging market financial products to be made available to global audiences. This partnership with BTN, the largest Indonesian mortgage state-owned bank that manages around 40% of the Indonesian mortgage market, is a testament to the capability of D3 Labs’ infrastructure, being able to pass the highest criteria of banking and compliance standards.

Indonesia has emerged as a prime destination for international investors, with foreign direct investment (PMA) reaching a substantial USD 946.4 million or approximately IDR 14.19 trillion by the conclusion of the first quarter of 2024. Indonesia is the 4th most populous country in the globe, combined with a rising middle class, Indonesia is commonly viewed as one of the largest and most potential emerging markets in the world. Despite the prevailing global economic difficulties, Indonesia’s real estate sector has presented a picture of resilience, drawing interest from investors across Southeast Asia, as well as from Hong Kong, China, India, Australia, Japan, and France, who are keen to participate in real estate investment within the nation.

Tigran Adiwirya, CEO of D3 Labs, has noticed a widespread adoption of blockchain technology for digitally tokenizing financial assets in recent years. This trend is mainly due to the highly liquid and efficient market. According to Nareits – the Association for REITs and Mortgage REITs based in Washington D.C., the total equity market capitalization for listed REITs has reached USD 2.0 trillion by the end of 2023. In September 2023, the tokenization of REITs surged to USD 178 million, marking a remarkable 90% growth from the 2022 figures. This substantial increase can be attributed to utilizing blockchain technology, which introduces new investment opportunities and positively impacts liquidity. It’s important to note that REITs’ tokenization currently only represents a small fraction of the potential opportunity. With this in mind, D3 Labs, along with BTN and Reliance, are strategically positioned to capitalize on this growing trend.

BTN’s Director of Risk Management, Setiyo Wibowo, emphasized BTN’s endorsement of technological innovation within the financial sector through digital asset tokenization. The primary objective is to broaden investor access to domestic and international property investments. Setiyo explained, “BTN will supply property assets that conform to the underlying REITs’ criteria for subsequent tokenization. This process designates the property owner, an active BTN debtor, as the issuer of REIT products. RMI will oversee the management of these assets, while D3 Labs will handle their tokenization.”

The current investment opportunity has captured the attention of approximately 195 countries worldwide, each of which is actively formulating regulations about the tokenization of real-world assets. Meanwhile in Indonesia, the provisions for REIT products have been issued since 2017 by OJK Regulation No. 64/POJK.04/2017 concerning Real Estate Investment Funds in the Form of Collective Investment Contracts. Entities that issue REITs stand to gain numerous advantages, including access to new funding for business expansion, tax incentives, and transforming illiquid assets into liquid assets. Similarly, REIT investors can benefit from a highly affordable alternative investment in real estate, protection against inflation, and increased transparency. Setiyo emphasized that RIET Tokenization will be developed through a Sandbox or trial with OJK (Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority), conducted by RMI and D3 Labs.

“D3 Labs specializes in providing blockchain technology solutions for financial services institutions. Our blockchain solution, SeaSeed, is a blockchain extension module that enables financial services institutions to securely manage their transactions and data confidentiality. Our goal is to assist in the development of standardized banking products utilizing blockchain technology, with a focus on transaction security, transparency, and accountability,” stated Tigran.

The Sleep System That Understands You Best.

BERLIN, Sept. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DUVA, created by Fitnexa, is introducing DUVA ONE at IFA Berlin 2026. This intelligent in-ear sleep system is designed to sense changes in the user and the bedroom, then personalize audio, noise control, and device behavior throughout the night.

Most sleep wearables explain what happened after users wake up. DUVA ONE is designed to help while the night is still happening. Its low-profile earbuds, environment-sensing charging case, and app work together to determine when and how to respond.

A user might start the night with a podcast over Bluetooth. After they fall asleep, DUVA ONE can introduce locally stored sleep audio and optimize power use. If a partner begins snoring or traffic grows louder, it can adjust ANC or add sound masking. In the morning, a private offline alarm wakes only the wearer, without requiring an active phone connection.

In-ear PPG and motion sensors estimate sleep stages and track heart rate, HRV, sleep position, and movement, while the case monitors noise, light, temperature, and humidity. The AI Agent interprets these signals alongside playback status and personal preferences to select an appropriate response. Users control sleep audio, playback duration, ANC strategy, and nighttime interventions in the DUVA App.

“Sleep does not happen in a static environment, so sleep technology should not remain static either,” said Diego, Founder of Fitnexa. “DUVA ONE is designed to respond while sleep is still happening.”

Key Highlights

Layered noise relief: Passive isolation, Hybrid ANC, and sleep audio provide noise reduction of up to 42 dB, with Transparency Mode and adaptive ANC calibration.Personalized AI sleep guidance: The AI analyzes the user’s real-time sleep state and generates personalized audio guidance to help them gradually fall asleep.Side-sleeping comfort: Each fitted earbud weighs approximately 3.3 grams and has an approximately 9.9 mm low-profile design. Two ear-tip shapes and multiple tip and stabilizing-wing sizes provide more than 40 fit configurations.All-night battery: Up to 16 hours in the most power-efficient configuration, including 13 hours of local audio with ANC off and 9.5 hours with ANC on. The USB-C and wireless charging case provides up to five additional recharges.Private offline alarm: Alarms gradually increase in volume and offer 5, 10, or 15-minute snooze options through the earbud controls.Privacy-first sensing: DUVA ONE does not record conversations, store ambient audio, or upload raw environmental audio. Users can disable individual sensors and delete historical data.

DUVA ONE is planned for release in October 2026 at a target retail price of US$349.99, with target markets including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Australia.
