Published

By

Collaboration will connect Caladan’s global liquidity with NextBlock’s NextRoute execution infrastructure, expanding its network of institutional liquidity providers.

SINGAPORE and SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Caladan, a global proprietary trading group and digital asset liquidity provider, and NextBlock, a South Korean institutional digital asset infrastructure provider, today announced a strategic collaboration to expand access to global digital asset liquidity for institutional market participants in South Korea.

Under the collaboration, NextBlock will connect to Caladan’s liquidity through NextRoute, its proprietary smart order routing engine. The partnership combines Caladan’s market-making and execution capabilities with NextBlock’s local infrastructure, expanding the liquidity network supporting NextBlock’s institutional offering. The collaboration comes as South Korea takes steps to broaden institutional participation in digital asset markets, increasing the importance of access to global liquidity and institutional-grade execution infrastructure.

Supporting South Korea’s Evolving Institutional Digital Asset Market

South Korea remains one of Asia’s most active digital asset markets, with growing interest in institutional participation. The country’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) has outlined a phased approach to expanding corporate participation in virtual asset trading, alongside ongoing efforts to strengthen regulatory oversight and market safeguards. As South Korea’s institutional digital asset framework continues to develop, the collaboration between Caladan and NextBlock aims to improve access to global liquidity and institutional-grade execution infrastructure, supporting the evolving needs of professional market participants.

“South Korea is an important market for digital assets in Asia, and its evolving regulatory framework creates opportunities for institutional-grade trading infrastructure,” said Julia Zhou, President and Co-Founder of Caladan. “Our collaboration with NextBlock strengthens our ability to provide global liquidity through established local infrastructure, supporting efficient execution for professional counterparties and reinforcing Caladan’s commitment to expanding institutional liquidity access across APAC.”

“Institutional access is not just about connecting to a market. It is about bringing together the liquidity, execution technology and local infrastructure needed to participate effectively,” said Chan Sim, CEO of NextBlock. Partnering with Caladan broadens the global liquidity available through NextRoute and advances our work to build an execution network for South Korea’s institutional digital asset market.”

The NextBlock collaboration builds on Caladan’s recent efforts to expand its global institutional liquidity network, including its integration with zerohash to broaden access to aggregated digital asset liquidity, its launch on BitGo’s Go Network for institutional settlement, and its receipt of in-principle approval from Dubai‘s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).

Caladan is a global proprietary trading group and digital asset liquidity provider. Founded in 2017, the firm operates across more than 65 exchanges and trading venues worldwide, providing on-exchange market-making, OTC trading, API liquidity, and investment services to institutional market participants globally.

Creality Debuts mBox, A Kid-Operated AI 3D Printer, at $329

Published

on

By

HOUSTON, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Creality, a global leader in the 3D printing industry, today introduces mBox, an AI 3D printer designed specifically for kids. Featuring a 153 × 153 × 153 mm build volume, the kid-operated printer brings together kid-safe designs, simple printing operations, and accessible creative tools to help young makers turn their ideas into physical creations. Priced at $329, mBox is now available exclusively on TikTok Shop in the U.S. from November 9 to December 10.

Who is mBox Built for

mBox is built for families with children aged 6–16 who enjoy drawing, block building, model making, DIY projects or exploring technologies. It is particularly designed for young creators who want to go beyond just buying ready-made toys and instead turn their own imagination into tangible and personalized creations, whether through independent projects at home or hands-on activities in the company of parents. mBox is also ideal for STEAM learning spaces where educators seek to integrate safe and simple 3D printers into everyday classroom subjects, like science experiments, engineering design, and creative arts.

Designed with Child Safety in Mind

Developed specially for kids, mBox prioritizes safety in its product engineering. Its fully enclosed chamber keeps the nozzle and moving components behind an enclosure while children watch their creations take shape. During printing, the unheated build plate eliminates the need to handle a heated bed when removing finished prints, while activated carbon filtration helps filter impurities from the chamber air.

Notably, a configurable door-open alert offers three response options: no action, alert only, or alert and pause. When the alert-and-pause is set and triggered, printing stops and parents receive an app notification.

Together, these thoughtful design features help create a safe and friendly space for printing and creating, ensuring parents feel more at ease as children build 3D models on their own.

Easy to Use, Easy to Create

mBox focuses on simplified operations to make 3D printing easier for kids to get started with.

With the 3.97-inch full-color touchscreen, kids can pick a model and start printing in just a few clicks without connecting to a phone. Before printing, auto leveling simplifies print preparation and helps improve first-layer adhesion, reducing the need for parents’ manual adjustments. During printing, the CoreXY motion system with vibration compensation supports stable printing and cleaner surface details, while AI detection uses the built-in camera to identify issues like warping, foreign objects, and spaghetti failures, and then alerts are sent to parents through the app.

In addition, there is RGB status lighting to show print progress and a low-noise mode which keeps operating noise at or under 46 dB.

A Magic Box That Sparks Creativity

Beyond the printer itself, mBox bridges kids with dedicated software, Creality Park App and Creality Park Studio. The Creality Park App is a 3D playground showcasing curated models and STEAM courses in a fun way and offering pick & print experience for younger users. For those ready to take their ideas further, the Creality Park Studio, a PC-based platform, offers approachable 3D modeling tools to help design original creations.

The ecosystem also incorporates AI tools CubeMe and SnapForm, enabling kids to turn photos into personalized, printable figurines, keychains, and accessories.

From a simple idea to a piece of creation, mBox aims to spark imagination and encourage hands-on making, helping young creators turn inspiration into something they can hold in hands.

Availability & Pricing

mBox is now available exclusively on the U.S. TikTok Shop at the price of $329 from November 9 to December 10.

No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers or ISINs listed herein or printed on the Notes. Such information is provided solely for the convenience of the Holders.

(2)

The consideration (the “Consideration”) represents the amount payable per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase by the Company. The Consideration excludes accrued and unpaid interest (“Accrued Interest”) on such Notes from and including the immediately preceding interest payment date for such Notes to, but excluding, November 16, 2026 (the “Settlement Date”), which will be paid in addition to the Consideration. Accrued Interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Notes accepted in the Offer.

Notes validly tendered are subject to proration so that the Company accepts for purchase Notes in an aggregate principal amount up to the Tender Cap. The proration factor has been rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point for presentation purposes.

The excess principal amount of Notes not accepted from the tendering Holders will be promptly returned to such Holders.

All General Conditions to the Offer were satisfied or waived on or prior to the Expiration Date. The Offer remains subject to the Financing Condition.
