JAKARTA, Indonesia, Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Established in 2014, Ann’s Bakehouse & Creamery has consistently delivered premium cakes and cookies that offer exceptional value for money. Partnering only with skilled pastry chefs and bakers who bring over a decade of expertise, further shows the brand’s dedication to delivering outstanding taste and top-quality products. Now operating with a comprehensive end-to-end enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, Ann’s Bakehouse & Creamery ensures unmatched efficiency in every aspect of its business. In addition to its signature creations, the brand offers a wide range of globally inspired treats and festive hampers, perfect for any occasion.

Bushido Bintari, the owner of Ann’s Bakehouse & Creamery, started her career working in the law industry, but after a year, she realized that the profession lacked the passion she was seeking. When her family’s bakehouse went bankrupt, it became a turning point for Bushido, sparking a deep desire to save her family’s business. While still working at the law firm, she saw an opportunity to help her mom’s struggling bakehouse, and with determination, she took the leap. This marked the beginning of Ann’s Bakehouse & Creamery, which has since become the thriving business it is today.

Ann’s Bakehouse & Creamery opened its first store in a humble rented residential area. Despite its humble beginnings, Ann’s Bakehouse & Creamery set itself apart by prioritizing customer experience, offering personalized service and a keen attention to detail that distinguished it from other cake shops in the area. In 2015, the brand took a bold step forward by launching its website, annsbakehouse.com, making it easier for customers to access their delicious treats online. This early embrace of digital commerce allowed Ann’s to reach a wider audience and offered a convenient way for customers to place orders including their renowned one-click-away service, setting a new standard for cake shops in the region

Ann’s Bakehouse & Creamery continued to innovate and expand, and in subsequent years, the brand opened a new location in a sought-after area in South Jakarta, surrounded by offices and bustling businesses. This strategic move positioned Ann’s at the heart of the city’s vibrant commercial district, allowing it to serve both local residents and professionals looking for a quick indulgence or a thoughtful gift.

Ann’s Bakehouse & Creamery has always been at the forefront of Indonesia’s thriving cake and gifting culture, recognizing the significant role that sweet treats and thoughtful gifts play in the country’s social fabric. With a loyal customer base that frequently buys hampers and gifts, the company sees great potential for growth in other major cities across Indonesia. The demand for high-quality, customizable cakes and personalized gifting options is ever-present, especially as celebrations and special occasions remain an integral part of Indonesian culture. Ann’s plans to expand its reach to larger cities, where the need for premium cakes and bespoke gifting options is growing.

In addition to its flagship offerings, Ann’s Bakehouse & Creamery is committed to meeting the diverse gifting and cake needs across all areas of Indonesia through its Anns1ndonesia service. This initiative ensures that specific types of cakes, from premium creations to personalized hampers, are available for delivery nationwide, making Ann’s treats accessible to customers in every corner of the country. By offering nationwide delivery, Ann’s addresses the growing demand for quality cakes and gifts, no matter the location. As the company expands to larger cities, it will open even more opportunities for customers to enjoy fresh, high-quality cakes made in Ann’s own kitchen, delivered right to their doorsteps—furthering the brand’s commitment to making exceptional treats accessible to all Indonesians.

Founder and owner Bushido Bintari shared, “We are excited about the future and are actively looking for a strategic partner to help us grow the company. Currently, we are focusing on expanding into larger cities in Indonesia, where the demand for cakes and gifting is significant. Our customers have shown time and again that they love our hampers and gift selections, and we’re eager to bring our high-quality creations to more people across the country.”

De¹ Introduces Tokenized Asset World on BNB Chain, Developing Financial Intelligence Across the Full RWA Financial Landscape

Published

October 19, 2026

NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — De¹ is launching Tokenized Asset World on BNB Chain, the first domain-specific world under its Financial World Model (FWM). It introduces specialized financial intelligence designed to understand the full onchain RWA landscape, from trading and collateral to borrowing, credit, liquidation and agent activity, and apply that knowledge to real financial decisions.

Traditional finance moves assets through separate networks of brokers, custodians, clearing systems and lenders. Each institution sees a different part of the lifecycle, while transfers, reconciliation and collateral requirements add friction to capital deployment. Bringing assets onchain makes financial activity more programmable, but it does not automatically connect the knowledge held across trading, financing and risk systems.

De¹ is establishing Tokenized Asset World on BNB Chain, where that real-assets financial ecosystem already unfolds in live markets. PancakeSwap, ListaDAO, Venus, Binance Agent OS and BNB Agent SDK span public trading, collateralized lending, structured credit and authorized agent activity. These activities produce distinct signals: executed prices, liabilities, vault constraints, liquidations and the outcomes of agent actions.

Tokenized Asset World brings fragmented financial knowledge into a coherent, learnable model of the full RWA landscape. The domain model is designed to understand the relationships and consequences across financial operations, with verified execution outcomes continuously refining De¹’s understanding of onchain financial physics. This introduces a new layer of intelligence to BNB Chain, enabling a more complete understanding of the tokenized-asset stack across trading, collateral, credit, vaults and agent activity.

AI agents can tap into this intelligence to operate across tokenized-asset markets with a more comprehensive view of liquidity, borrowing conditions, collateral exposure and liquidation risk as a whole. This deeper market understanding could raise more sophisticated strategies, execution and risk decisions. Each agent interaction, in turn, generates new evidence for the model, creating a continuous feedback loop between financial intelligence and live market execution while strengthening De¹’s broader Financial World Model.

About De¹

De¹ is the intelligent infrastructure platform at the intersection of DeFi and AI, building the Financial World Model grounded in live execution and real market feedback. It serves developers, traders, institutions, and AI agents through intelligent execution, unified liquidity, reinforcement learning optimization, and a continuously evolving data flywheel.

The Mexico based digital bank shatters traditional digital banking scaling timelines, reaching a $1 Billion Annual Recurring Revenue  in less than 3.5 years from launch

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Plata, the world’s fastest growing digital financial institution, today announced that in September 2026 it has crossed $1 billion in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), reaching the milestone in less than 3.5 years from launch in April 2023 and less than a year after receiving its full banking license. Plata´s growth makes it the fastest digital bank in history to reach this benchmark, and puts it on par with some of the world’s fastest growing leading AI companies, underlining Plata’s own AI and tech capabilities.

Plata reaches this goal after having reached more than 4 million customers in Mexico and having launched operations in Colombia at the beginning of September. In Mexico, Plata is now the fourth credit card issuer in the country by number of customers, and the only digital bank with a full product suite including credit, debit, investments, and small business banking. Plata’s growth is also nearing profitability, which is expected to be reached for its Mexico business within the next 6 months.

Plata changed the rules by building a universal financial platform powered by its own technology from day one. By setting up its core banking system, the company proved that regulated financial institutions can scale at AI-like speed without undermining operating performance.

“By building our own technology from scratch, we proved that a bank can move at AI company speed without compromising anything. Now we are ready to accelerate our innovation, make finance effortless and accessible for everyone.” Neri Tollardo, CEO of Plata.

As digital adoption accelerates across Latin America, Plata´s performance sets a new benchmark for financial infrastructure scaling, financial adoption, and operational efficiency in emerging markets.

About Plata

Plata is the fastest-growing financial institution in Latin America and the largest private digital bank by customer volume. In less than three years, we reached a valuation of $3.1 billion with 4 million active credit card customers and crossed $1 billion in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). Backed by $1.5 billion in equity investment, 1.5 in financing, and a workforce that includes 800 in-house developers, in Banco Plata we have built our own technological ecosystem, which includes a core banking system, CRM, and an app focused on simplifying the financial experience.
