Port Louis, Mauritius, August 25th, 2026, FinanceWire
24 August 2026 launch expands access to quantum computing, cybersecurity, space, nuclear energy, AI and robotics.
STARTRADER evolves alongside global markets, expanding its product range to reflect client interests and trading habits. On 24 August, the company will add 30 new U.S. stock and ETF CFDs to MT5, expanding its range of CFD exposure to companies and themes across technology, infrastructure and innovation.
The expansion spans eight areas. Quantum computing additions include IONQ, QBTS, QUBT, ARQQ and QMCO; software infrastructure includes ZS, S,RBRK and GTLB; space and defence includes LUNR, PL, RCAT and BKSY; while XE and NNE expand the range of CFDs linked to nuclear and energy themes.
The launch also adds SERV and POET across AI and semiconductors; VCX across asset management; DOCN and FROG across cloud and DevOps; and FUTU, ONDS, OUST, VSAT, LASR, AEHR, UCTT and GSAT across fintech, communications and advanced technology. Thematic ETFs DXYZ and NASA complete the release.
The addition caps STARTRADER’s most active year of product development. In 2026, the company announced 330+ instruments, extended trading hours across selected stock and ETF instruments, and launched XAUUSD247, its 24/7 gold CFD, all driven by one goal: giving clients greater choice as markets evolve.
“Traders should not need multiple places to follow the markets that matter. As industries emerge and attention shifts, we keep expanding access with purpose, giving clients the markets, products and flexibility they need, their way.”
Peter Karsten, CEO of STARTRADER
The new instruments will be available on MT5 with 1:5 leverage, trade sizes from 0.1 to 1,000 lots, and trading hours from Monday to Friday, 16:30–23:00 GMT+3. Availability depends on account type, client classification and jurisdiction; the instrument is not available to clients in all countries.
The latest release reflects STARTRADER’s pillars of Strength, Trust, Ambition and Resilience through broader choice, continuous innovation and an offering designed to adapt with clients and markets.
Risk Warning: CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Ensure you understand the risks before trading.

United Arab Emirates, 25th Aug 2026 — Coinbunch, a licensed and registered financial institution, today announced the launch of its crypto tax reporting, transaction reconciliation, and accounting service for individuals and institutions whose digital asset holdings are too fragmented, technical, or spread across jurisdictions for conventional tax preparers and generic tax software to handle correctly.
Crypto holders with activity spanning multiple exchanges, wallets, and chains routinely run into the same problem: cost basis is fragmented or missing, some exchanges have closed or stopped providing records, and on-chain activity such as staking, lending, liquidity provision, and bridging falls outside what most preparers can interpret. Generic tax software compounds the issue by frequently misreading transfers between a client’s own wallets and exchanges as taxable disposals, inflating reported gains and producing schedules that do not reflect what actually happened.
Coinbunch’s service is built specifically around these failure points. The desk reconstructs cost basis from on-chain data, partial exports, and bank records; identifies and reconciles self-transfers so they are removed from the disposal schedule; classifies DeFi and on-chain income into the correct tax treatment; and prepares multi-year catch-up filings for clients whose earlier returns were never filed or were filed incompletely. Every filing-ready schedule is delivered with supporting working papers that trace each figure back to its source records. A parallel accounting line of service provides bookkeeping and financial statement preparation for individuals, funds, and entities holding digital assets, built from the same reconciled data where clients engage the desk for both.
Every engagement follows the same structure: a confidential scoping call to assess the client’s holdings, jurisdictions, and entity type; a written scope of work and a fixed fee delivered before any work begins; and execution in which transactions are matched, cost basis is rebuilt, and gaps are flagged for the client’s review before any figure is finalized. Data collection is read-only throughout — Coinbunch never requests private keys, seed phrases, or transfer authority.
The firm reports a track record spanning more than 30 jurisdictions and hundreds of engagements, all delivered on a fixed-fee basis with no hourly billing. Clients range from individual traders and long-term holders with years of complex or unfiled history, to family offices, funds, corporate treasuries, and DeFi participants whose on-chain activity requires specialist classification.
“I have spent the past 12 years practicing tax law and the past eight working in cybersecurity. Both fields reward the same habits: precision, patience, and a willingness to sit with a problem until it is properly understood. That is the mindset we brought to Coinbunch,” said Joachim, Founder and CEO of Coinbunch.
Coinbunch confirms client eligibility before any onboarding begins, assessing jurisdiction, entity type, source of funds, and identity verification. The firm does not serve every country and directs prospective clients to confirm coverage before starting a scoping call. Coinbunch does not hold, move, or transact client assets, and has warned that any party claiming to recover blockchain funds on the firm’s behalf is fraudulent.
Coinbunch is available now for scoping calls at coinbunch.com, with a written scope of work and fixed fee provided after each confidential consultation.

The Everyall Co., Ltd. introduces a three-product skincare collection centered on hydration, sensory textures, and ingredients inspired by Korea’s natural environment.
Wonju-si, South Korea, 24th Aug 2026 — Korean skincare brand HANDAM, developed by The Everyall Co., Ltd., launches its first skincare collection with a hydration-focused approach inspired by the purity and calm of Korean nature.
HANDAM expresses the idea of “holding and preserving beauty,” bringing together nature-inspired ingredients, modern skincare formulations, and a refined sensory experience designed to support balanced, healthy-looking skin.
At the center of the collection is Jeju Lava Seawater, a natural ingredient sourced from Jeju Island, combined with Aquaxyl, a Centella Asiatica complex, Panthenol, and other skin-conditioning ingredients. The collection is designed around hydration and comfortable daily use, with textures created to feel fresh, lightweight, and easy to layer.
Three Products, One Hydration Ritual
HANDAM Hydrating Serum: A lightweight cream-in-serum formula featuring Rosa Rugosa Extract. It is designed to deliver a refreshing layer of hydration with a smooth, non-sticky finish.
HANDAM Hydrating Cream: A moisturizer inspired by a melting sherbet texture. The formula melts smoothly into the skin and leaves a fresh, moisturized finish without feeling heavy.
HANDAM Hydrating Sunscreen: A daily sunscreen developed with a moisturizing texture that feels comfortable on the skin and is designed to layer well under makeup.
A Sensory Approach to Hydration
Rather than focusing on hydration as a single functional claim, HANDAM approaches it as a daily skincare experience. The serum, cream, and sunscreen are designed to complement one another through different textures and stages of a routine, allowing users to layer hydration without an overly heavy or sticky finish.
“Modern consumers are looking for skincare products that offer not only thoughtfully selected ingredients but also a comfortable sensory experience,” said a representative of The Everyall Co., Ltd. “Through HANDAM, we aim to translate the purity of Korean nature into a contemporary hydration ritual that feels simple, refined, and enjoyable in everyday life.”
Positioning HANDAM for Global K-Beauty Consumers
As global interest in K-Beauty continues to expand, HANDAM plans to introduce its hydration-focused skincare philosophy to international consumers and expand its presence in global markets. The brand will position its first collection around a clear combination of storytelling inspired by Korean nature, modern formulations, and distinctive textures.
HANDAM’s debut collection marks the first step in building a broader skincare identity centered on hydration, comfort, and a contemporary interpretation of Korean beauty.

With no extended support phase and no paid Extended Security Updates programme, an estimated fifty days remain before every edition of Office 2021 — including the Long-Term Servicing Channel release — stops receiving patches. WinCDKey has published support-lifecycle disclosures across its catalogue so buyers can see, before purchase, exactly how long each licence remains supported.
United Kingdom, 24th Aug 2026 — Microsoft Office 2021 reaches end of support on 13 October 2026. After that date, Microsoft will no longer issue security updates, bug fixes, or technical support for any Office 2021 edition on Windows or Mac. The applications will continue to open and run, but every vulnerability discovered from that point onward remains permanently unpatched.
What makes this deadline unusual is what follows it: nothing. Perpetual Office releases have historically carried a ten-year lifecycle — five years of mainstream support followed by five years of extended support. Beginning with the 2021 generation, Microsoft removed the extended phase entirely, halving the supported lifespan. There is no extended support period for Office 2021 and no paid Extended Security Updates programme of the kind offered to Windows 10 customers. The date is the end of the line.
The same date applies to Office LTSC 2021, the Long-Term Servicing Channel edition many organisations selected specifically because they expected a longer support runway. Microsoft Publisher also reaches end of life on 13 October 2026, after which no version of Publisher will be supported.
Why this matters to buyers who purchased perpetually to avoid subscriptions
The customers most exposed are the ones who made a deliberate choice. Perpetual Office licences are bought disproportionately by people and organisations that rejected the subscription model on cost, control, or compliance grounds: small businesses, freelancers, schools, clinics, manufacturing environments, and households replacing a laptop every five or six years.
Those buyers are also least likely to be watching Microsoft’s lifecycle announcements. A subscription tells you when it lapses. A perpetual licence, by design, gives no signal at all — the software simply keeps launching, indistinguishable from a supported installation, while the patches quietly stop arriving.
“The phrase that causes the confusion is ‘perpetual licence,’” said AL Sharif Hossain, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at Wincdkey Ltd. “Perpetual describes your right to keep using the software. It has never described how long the manufacturer will patch it. Those are two different clocks, and most buyers only find out they were different when a support ticket comes in about an update that will not install.”
For organisations, the consequences extend past security. Handling personal data, card data, or health records on software that no longer receives vendor patches raises questions under most information-security frameworks and internal audit policies. That assessment belongs with each organisation’s own compliance function, but it is a question worth asking before October rather than after.
What WinCDKey has changed
WinCDKey has published support-lifecycle disclosures on affected product listings and campaign pages, stating the end-of-support date for each edition alongside the price rather than in terms-and-conditions text. The disclosures cover Office 2021 (13 October 2026), Office 2016 and Office 2019 (support ended October 2025), Windows 10 (support ended October 2025), and Windows Server 2019 (mainstream support ended January 2024, extended support to January 2029).
The company continues to sell the affected editions. Its position is that an unsupported licence remains a legitimate, low-cost option for the right use case — an offline machine, an air-gapped lab, older hardware that cannot meet Windows 11 requirements, or a short-term deployment with a known end date — and an unsuitable one for a daily-driver machine handling email and unknown attachments. The argument the company makes is that this should be a disclosed choice rather than an accidental one.
“We would rather sell a customer the cheaper unsupported edition knowingly than sell them the same thing while quietly hoping they never check the date,” said Mr Zahan. “The second version produces a refund request and a lost customer roughly a year later. We have seen enough of those tickets to know it is not a sustainable way to run a catalogue.”
The options available before October
Buyers evaluating the deadline have four broad paths. Remaining on Office 2021 past 13 October is defensible for low-exposure, offline, or short-horizon use, and buys time to test a replacement. Moving to Office 2024 preserves the one-time-purchase model and carries support through 9 October 2029, making it the direct successor for home users, freelancers, and small offices. Office LTSC 2024 suits managed and controlled environments that need a stable non-subscription release. Microsoft 365 replaces the support cliff with continuous servicing, at the cost of an ongoing subscription relationship and Microsoft’s rolling changes to the environment.
One point applies to all four: Office 2021 files open normally in Office 2024, so file-format compatibility is not a constraint on this particular migration — unlike version upgrades in CAD and BIM software, where format changes routinely strand users on incompatible releases.
Buyers who cannot migrate before the deadline are advised to reduce exposure in the interim: keep the operating system fully patched, restrict Office to trusted documents, disable macros from untrusted sources, and maintain backups independent of any single cloud location.
