George Town, British Virgin Islands, September 1st, 2026, Chainwire
Aster, the privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, today announced the kickoff of USD1 RWA Boost: Phase 1 with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), featuring 125,000,000 $WLFI and 6,250,000 USD1 in rewards.
The campaign builds on AOS-2, Aster’s earlier expansion of its Aster Open Standards (AOS) framework from spot markets to perpetuals.
Leonard, CEO at Aster, said: “AOS-2 is turning Aster from a decentralized perp exchange into an open infrastructure layer where anyone can launch and operate their own perpetual markets on top of Aster Chain. The first USD1 RWA perpetuals show that model is already working.”
AOS-2: A Published Standard for Perpetual Listings
AOS-2 is Aster’s standardized, onchain framework for initiating perpetual market listings, enabling projects to propose new markets through a transparent and automated process.
Applicants stake 1 million $ASTER, locked for four years with no early exit, before the proposal goes to an onchain validator vote. If approved, Aster’s risk team configures the market and the perpetual can go live as early as T+1; if rejected, the stake is returned in full.
Listing access runs on published onchain rules, while leverage and other trading parameters stay under Aster’s risk controls, letting Aster bring new markets to traders faster without giving up risk management.
The campaign runs from August 31 through December 31, 2026, covering SPCX/USD1, CL/USD1, XAU/USD1, SNDK/USD1, SKHYNIX/USD1, and MU/USD1.
Users earn Trading Points through taker volume on eligible USD1 pairs, which determine their share of the USD1 reward pool, while Open Interest (OI) Points are earned by holding eligible positions and determine their share of the $WLFI reward pool. Traders using Single Asset Mode with USD1 as collateral receive a 2x boost on OI Points. Rewards are calculated across weekly epochs and distributed the following week.
“When real-world assets trade onchain, the settlement asset matters as much as the market itself. Perpetuals on gold, energy, and equities, all denominated in USD1, give traders one dollar instrument across every one of these markets, and that is what stablecoins were built to do. We are supporting these markets because this is where onchain market structure is heading, and Phase 1 is only the start,” said Zach Witkoff, Co-Founder and CEO at World Liberty Financial.
Building the Frontier of Onchain Trading
AOS-2 gives Aster a repeatable, onchain path for bringing new markets to the platform, and the first USD1 RWA perpetual listings show that path is already at work. Paired with the ecosystem support from Aster and WLFI, the launch turns a new listing framework into real trading activity from day one.
As more real-world and crypto-native assets move onchain, Aster aims to become a leading venue for bringing new asset markets onchain. The map gets bigger from here.

New analysis from the healthcare outsourcing company finds that non-emergency medical transportation providers lose the most revenue in back-office operations — unanswered calls, dispatch gaps, and broker-compliance issues — rather than on the road.
Vancouver, WA, United States, 1st Sep 2026, Grand Newswire – SS Support Network LLC, a U.S.-registered healthcare and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) back-office outsourcing company founded in 2020, today released its 2026 NEMT Back-Office Report and announced a free operations audit for U.S. transportation providers. Drawn from the company’s work across more than 200 clients and over 200,000 processed claims, the report identifies where NEMT providers lose trips, revenue, and broker trust, and finds that the costliest failures occur in back-office operations rather than in vehicles or drivers.
The report arrives as demand for medical transportation rises and broker requirements tighten. Industry data places the U.S. NEMT market at roughly $17 billion with mid-single-digit annual growth, while U.S. Census Bureau projections indicate 73.1 million Americans will be aged 65 or older by 2030. Published industry analyses estimate NEMT driver turnover above 64% annually and put the cost of missed medical appointments to the U.S. healthcare system at approximately $150 billion per year, with transportation barriers among the leading contributors.
According to the report, most providers focus on vehicles and drivers while the largest financial losses occur elsewhere: after-hours calls sent to voicemail, will-call returns left unmanaged, broker portals worked inconsistently, and credentials that lapse unnoticed until trips stop or an audit occurs. SS Support Network states that these gaps reduce trip volume, weaken broker relationships, and lower customer satisfaction even when a provider’s fleet and drivers perform well.
“Most NEMT owners assume their problem is vehicles and drivers,” said Nimra Khalid, Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer of SS Support Network. “In our experience, the revenue is usually lost in quieter places — a phone going to voicemail overnight, a broker portal left untouched, a credential that expired. When the back office is corrected, the same fleet completes more trips and retains more broker business.”
Alongside the report, SS Support Network is making a free operations audit available to U.S. NEMT providers. The audit is a written review of a provider’s calls, dispatching, scheduling, and broker activity that identifies specific operational issues and recommended corrections, provided at no cost. The company’s agents are HIPAA-trained and operate under a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA), working within a provider’s existing dispatch software and broker portals, including Modivcare, MTM, and Access2Care.
“Operators should be able to see where they are losing money, in writing,” Nimra added. “If we are not the right fit, the audit says so.”

ALKEMYA METACORE SCSp SECURES INITIAL USD 50 MILLION INVESTMENT AHEAD OF LISTING OF TOKENISED EQUITY NICKEL OFFERING
Alkemya Luxembourg S.à.r.l. (“Alkemya”), the sponsor, is pleased to announce that Alkemya Metacore SCSp has secured USD 50 million in a pre-launch capital raise for its precision industrial nickel wire business backed by Class 1 nickel wire. It is announcing the sale of additional ALKN tokens in a new tranche (the “Token”) at USD 1.0 per Token.
The offer, which is being arranged by Hanover Square Capital (UK) Ltd, will take place on Bitfinex Securities. The offer is available to institutional and professional investors and will close on 15 October 2026.
The Tokens are issued by Alkemya Metacore SCSp (“Alkemya Metacore”), a special limited partnership based in Luxembourg, which is registered as an Issuer with CNAD (National Commission of Digital Assets) in El Salvador.
Alkemya Metacore is a Luxembourg-based investment and operating platform focused on the industrial development, commercialisation, and financial structuring of high-technology metals. It owns approximately 7 million metres of 99.99% ultra-pure nickel wire with 0.025 mm diameter, which has been independently verified and valued at approximately USD 1.64 billion. The asset is held in institutional custody in Lugano, Switzerland.
Alkemya will use part of the initial capital raise and further funds raised in additional tranches to invest working capital in Alkemya Metacore to finance its commercialisation strategy of transforming its ultra-pure wire into engineered mesh products tailored to high-growth applications across seven sectors: EMI shielding, aerospace and defence, marine and desalination, power and industrials, semiconductors, green hydrogen and rare/precious metals recovery.
The successful capital raise, before secondary market listing, represents a major milestone for the offering and demonstrates confidence in the underlying exposure to high-purity nickel and the structure of the issue. The Token affords investors a combination of an asset-backed investment and a thematic play on energy transition and electronic security technologies.
The listing on Bitfinex Securities of the Token will enable Alkemya to leverage tokenisation to access a wider pool of global investors and be part of a regulated, 24/7 trading venue.
The Tokens aim to provide long-term investment value linked to real-world applications and technology.
Cash distributions will be governed by a strict waterfall that first returns investor capital in full, cumulative distributions equal to a 6% per annum compound interest calculated annually (i.e., the preferred return) on the investor capital at any time outstanding, from the date of payment of the same up to the date of final repayment of the invested capital and an additional 80/20 profit split with a carry partner in favour of Token holders from the commercial business.
Carlo Guido Della Peruta, Manager of the General Partner of Alkemya Metacore, commented: “Securing this initial investment is a significant milestone for Alkemya and validates both the quality of our asset and the strength of our commercialisation strategy. We chose to list on Bitfinex Securities because tokenisation offers us access to a genuinely global investor base within a regulated framework, and because it reflects the innovative approach we are taking across all aspects of our business. This raise will allow us to begin transforming our nickel wire asset into high-value engineered products serving some of the fastest-growing sectors in the global economy, and we look forward to welcoming further investors as the listing progresses.”
Jesse Knutson, Head of Operations at Bitfinex Securities, commented: “Bitfinex Securities exists to connect exciting investment opportunities with a broader and deeper investor base, giving more people access to investments that were previously out of reach and giving businesses access to a wider pool of capital. Alkemya Metacore will represent yet another example of how we’re using blockchain technology to bring previously inaccessible asset classes to market within stringent regulatory guardrails, and Alkemya’s initial $50 million capital raise is a sign of appetite for this exciting opportunity.”
Arvinder Sood, CEO and Director at Hanover Square Capital (UK) Ltd, said: “Hanover Square Capital is delighted to announce this transaction in collaboration with Bitfinex Securities and its successful pre-launch close of USD 50 million investment, which not only underscores the evolving direction of global capital markets but also establishes a compelling foundation for a groundbreaking transaction with the launch of ALKN tokens. This milestone reflects a broader structural shift in how financial assets are created, accessed, and exchanged, as traditional frameworks increasingly converge with digital innovation. By embracing tokenised equity, the transaction highlights a more efficient, transparent, and accessible model for capital formation, one that is better aligned with the demands of modern investors and issuers alike, with the capacity to trade on a peer-to-peer basis.
Hanover Square Capital believes that this transaction not only validates that trajectory but also signals the growing importance of blockchain-enabled solutions in redefining how assets are issued, managed, and traded on a global scale.”
Bitfinex Securities provides a regulated venue for the issuance and trading of tokenised securities, combining blockchain technology with regulated market access for issuers and eligible investors.
The offering was advised by the following law firms: CMS DeBacker in Luxembourg (as regards Luxembourg law aspects), Dentons El Salvador (as regards El Salvador law aspects), Foley and Lardner in the US (as regards US law aspects), and CNPLaw LLP in Singapore (as regards Singapore law aspects). Winston Taylor acted for Bitfinex Securities. The Edison Group advised on investor relations and issued a pre-IPO research note. The ALKN tokens will be available for trading across three regulated exchanges: Bitfinex Securities, AGX (operated by LabyrinthX Technologies Pte Ltd, a company in the Hydra X group) and Archax Ltd. HydraX Digital Assets Pte. Ltd. is the custodian and distribution partner in Asia, with Archax playing a similar role in the UK. Scytale, the technology firm, is providing onboarding technology services for compliance to Alkemya Metacore under Luxembourg and EU law.

Why Mr. IBILE Is Strategically Positioning for the Future of New Lagos
Nigeria, 1st Sep 2026 – “A conventional developer builds where the city already is. A strategist studies where the city is going and begins building there.”
Lagos has never been a city that waits for the future.
It expands, transforms, and reinvents itself, often years before the rest of the country fully recognizes where the next wave of opportunity is taking shape.
And increasingly, one name is becoming synonymous with understanding that movement from the ground up: Hon. (Dr.) Saheed Mosadoluwa Audullahi, popularly known as Mr. IBILE, the “Lagos Landlord.”
As Executive Managing Director and CEO of Harmony Garden & Estate Development Ltd., Dr. Mosadoluwa is building more than estates. He is pursuing a larger proposition: to identify where Lagos is going, position land and communities around that trajectory, and create places capable of participating in the city’s next era of growth.
From Aviation to Land: Learning to Read Movement
Perhaps the most interesting dimension of Mosadoluwa’s real-estate philosophy is that his story did not begin with property.
His professional journey spans aviation, logistics, international trade, and entrepreneurship. In 2011, he became the first Black man appointed to the board of the Ras Khaimah Movers Association in the UAE, an achievement that reflected his expertise in aviation and freight logistics.
That background matters.
Aviation and logistics teach a fundamental lesson: location is never simply about where something is; it is about where movement is going.
Airports, highways, ports, industrial clusters, commercial districts and residential communities do not develop independently. They create interconnected economic ecosystems.
This is the lens through which Mosadoluwa appears to approach land.
Rather than viewing a parcel simply as land to be sold, his strategy places increasing emphasis on corridors, infrastructure, accessibility, community development, and the economic activity that follows them.
That philosophy is particularly visible in Harmony Garden’s concentration across the rapidly developing Lekki–Ibeju-Lekki corridor.
The New Lagos Is Moving East
For decades, Lagos’ traditional centres of economic gravity were concentrated around Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Ikeja and other established districts.
But the city’s next chapter is increasingly being written along emerging corridors.
The Lekki–Epe axis has become a particularly significant development frontier, surrounded by major infrastructure and economic landmarks including the proposed Lekki-Epe International Airport, Alaro City, Pan-Atlantic University, Dangote Refinery and Fertilizer Plant, Lekki Free Trade Zone and Lekki Deep Sea Port.
Its Seven Citadels of Joy comprise GranVille Estate, Lekki Aviation Town, Majestic Bay Estate, The Parliament Estates, Oju-Alaro GRA, HarmonyCasa Estate and HarmonyVille Estate, with HarmonyVille already sold out. The company’s profile states that its land portfolio exceeds 4,600 hectares, with a stated value of more than $380 million.
Located within the Yegunda Resettlement Scheme and directly facing the proposed Lekki-Epe International Airport, the development is positioned around one of the infrastructure projects expected to influence the future character of the corridor.
Then there is GranVille Estate, located at Oreki by Eleko Junction and directly facing the Lekki-Epe Expressway, with proximity to some of the corridor’s most important economic and institutional landmarks.
The Parliament Phase Iis positioned within Bolorunpelu-Onigbedu (Oke-Ogun),also directly facing the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, while HarmonyCasa Phase II occupies Seidu/Imare Airport Government Resettlement Scheme, also facing the proposed international airport and many other high-end strategic locations.
This is where the designation “Land Strategist” becomes particularly fitting.
The strategy is not simply about acquiring land.
It is about understanding the relationship between land, infrastructure, mobility, population growth, and economic expansion.
Beyond Estates: Building Ecosystems
Mosadoluwa’s vision also extends beyond residential development.
His wider business ecosystem spans aviation, logistics, industrial development, agriculture, automobile services, tourism and real estate. His ventures include Royal Crystal Airways, Ibile Industrial Park, Ibile RoyalTrip’s Automobile, and Ibile Food Security Farm City.
That breadth provides an important clue to his approach.
The emerging Lagos cannot be sustained by houses alone.
It needs places to live, places to work, transportation networks, industrial activity, commercial centres, infrastructure, and communities that can grow alongside them.
This is also consistent with Mosadoluwa’s publicly articulated ambition of creating integrated communities rather than simply standalone property developments.
In that sense, his real-estate strategy sits within a much larger nation-building philosophy:
“Empower people, develop land, build legacy.”
Making Homeownership Part of the Strategy
Another defining element of the vision is accessibility.
Through the Ibile Traditional Mortgage System, Harmony Garden has introduced a structured rent-to-own pathway designed to make homeownership more accessible to Nigerians at home and in the diaspora. The model allows an initial 10% commitment, allocation at 30%, move-in at 50%, and repayment of the balance over up to five years at a minimum of 7.5% annual rate.
The significance is bigger than the financing structure itself.
It reflects a belief that urban development should not only create physical communities; it should also create pathways through which ordinary people can participate in those communities.
That people-centred philosophy is central to Mosadoluwa’s broader social-impact work and his stated commitment to expanding homeownership opportunities for Nigerians locally and abroad.
Why the “Lagos Landlord” Is Looking Beyond Today
There is a temptation in real estate to measure success by the number of plots sold, buildings completed or estates launched.
But the more consequential question is different:
What will this location mean 10, 15 or 20 years from now?
That is the question behind strategic land development.
For Mosadoluwa, the answer appears to lie in anticipating the convergence of infrastructure, population, commerce, transportation, and urban expansion, and positioning communities accordingly.
His Seven Citadels of Joy are therefore presented not merely as a collection of estates, but as components of a broader development vision across Lagos.
And that may ultimately be the defining distinction of the Land Strategist.
A conventional developer builds where the city already is.
A strategist studies where the city is going, and begins building there.
The Future Is Being Mapped Today
Lagos will continue to expand.
New roads will open. New economic zones will emerge. New transportation links will reshape commuting patterns. New businesses will follow infrastructure. New communities will rise around them.
The real question is not whether New Lagos will emerge.
It is who will have the foresight to prepare for it.
Hon. (Dr.) Saheed Mosadoluwa is making his answer clear through the scale of his land acquisition, the locations of his developments, his integrated business interests and his focus on expanding access to homeownership.
From aviation to logistics, from land acquisition to estate development, his career has increasingly converged around one central idea:
Understand movement. Identify opportunity. Develop strategically. Build for generations.
That is the story behind Mr. IBILE.
And perhaps the most compelling thing about his strategy is that he is not simply betting on the Lagos of today.
He is positioning for the Lagos that is still becoming.

United Kingdom, 1st Sep 2026 – Triple-glazed self-cleaning rooflights are becoming an increasingly popular choice for UK homeowners looking to improve natural daylight, thermal performance, and everyday convenience. Therefore, Skylights Rooflanterns is highlighting its premium roof glazing solutions for homeowners, architects, and property professionals across the UK.
Based in London, Skylights Rooflanterns provides high-performance rooflights and roof lantern systems designed for extensions, renovations, kitchens, living areas, and contemporary new-build properties. Additionally, advanced glazing options can help homeowners achieve a brighter interior while supporting improved insulation and reduced maintenance.
Why triple-glazed and self-cleaning rooflights are in demand
Modern homeowners are placing greater emphasis on energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term practicality when choosing products for home improvements. However, roof glazing needs to deliver more than natural light, which is why advanced glazing technologies are becoming increasingly important.
Skylights Rooflanterns offers roof glazing solutions designed to help homeowners achieve:
Increased natural daylight in kitchens, extensions, and open-plan living areas
Enhanced thermal performance through advanced triple glazing
Improved comfort by helping reduce heat transfer through the roof glazing
Lower maintenance requirements with self-cleaning glass technology
A clean, contemporary appearance suited to modern architectural designs
“Triple glazing and self-cleaning glass provide practical performance benefits while helping create brighter, more comfortable spaces. Our aim is to give customers roof glazing solutions that work beautifully and perform reliably over the long term.”
High-performance rooflights designed for modern homes
Triple-glazed rooflights are designed with multiple panes of glass to provide enhanced insulation compared with traditional glazing configurations. As a result, they can be an attractive option for homeowners looking to improve the thermal performance of extensions and other areas with large areas of roof glazing.
Self-cleaning glass for reduced maintenance
Self-cleaning glass provides an additional practical advantage for roof glazing. Its specially treated external surface helps water spread across the glass, allowing rainfall to assist in removing dirt and organic deposits.
Consequently, homeowners can spend less time maintaining hard-to-reach roof glazing while continuing to enjoy clear, bright interiors.
Designed for comfort, efficiency, and natural daylight
Modern rooflights are increasingly being specified as part of energy-conscious home improvements. Triple glazing can help improve insulation, while carefully designed rooflight systems allow natural daylight to reach areas that may otherwise depend heavily on artificial lighting.
Additionally, sleek profiles and contemporary glazing designs allow rooflights to complement modern extensions, renovations, and architectural projects.
