Goldonline Launches Next-Generation CFD Trading Platform, Connecting to Global Financial Backbone
New York, NY, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goldonline Global Ltd. today announced the full launch of its next-generation trading execution system, officially connecting to Equinix NY4, one of the world's top financial data centers. This significant deployment marks a key milestone in Goldonline's construction of critical nodes within the global financial infrastructure network, solidifying its ongoing leadership in the global Contracts for Difference (CFD) market with a more robust technological foundation. Equinix NY4, located in New York, USA, is the highest connectivity hub for financial trading institutions, market makers, hedge funds, and exchanges. Regarded as the 'heart of the global financial internet,' it aggregates over 800 financial service providers and liquidity providers, serving as a core platform for high-frequency trading and institutional matchmaking. Goldonline is one of the first licensed CFD platforms to fully access this data center, marking a new dimension of performance for its trading system. Headquartered on Wall Street in New York, Goldonline has focused since its establishment in 2016 on building a 'trusted, compliant, and intelligent' global financial trading operating system. The platform offers services across seven categories of CFD assets, including forex, precious metals, energy, commodities, and indices, providing global users with stable, compliant, and low-latency trading services. Regulatory Strength Recognized Goldonline has received registration approval as a Money Services Business (MSB) from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as well as registration from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company adheres to a development logic of 'regulation first, technology as a foundation,' strictly implementing international financial compliance policies such as KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering). The upgrade of the trading system and node deployment strictly follows the SEC's core requirements for data security, trading transparency, and anti-manipulation, achieving true synchronization of technology and compliance. 'We are not just building a faster system; we are creating a standard channel for trustworthy global capital clearing.' — Sophia Reed, Vice President of Technology at Goldonline Millisecond-Scale Matching and Global Concurrent Trading Support The newly released 'G-Execution 2.0 System' by Goldonline is fully self-developed, featuring high-concurrency order matching, automatic slippage control, on-chain execution verification, intelligent latency adjustment, and dynamic liquidity switching, significantly enhancing the platform's volatility resistance and execution quality. After connecting to Equinix NY4, the overall matching speed of the platform has improved by over 40%, with the average order latency now reduced to under 15 milliseconds. Combined with the OneZero Bridge system, Goldonline has established stable direct connections with over ten top-tier liquidity providers globally, achieving deep order books and intelligent price matching, particularly suitable for high-frequency traders and quantitative strategy teams. Additionally, the new system introduces AI behavior recognition risk control modules and on-chain audit records, providing verifiable audit trails for all transactions and supporting the generation of multi-country regulatory report formats, thus enhancing the platform's regulatory technology capabilities. Accelerating Global Strategy to Build a Ten-Nation Trading Compliance Network According to official data, as of the second quarter of 2025, Goldonline's average daily settlement processing volume has surpassed $1 billion, with managed assets (AUM) exceeding $34 billion and clients across over 40 countries and regions. The platform's transaction success rate is 99.998%, and its system stability is leading in the industry. Based on this NY4 node construction, the company is also planning the next phase of its global technology network layout, aiming to complete the deployment of ten global financial nodes, including London LD4, Singapore SG1, Frankfurt FR2, and Dubai DIFC, by 2026, forming a globally covered compliance clearing system and data service network. Moreover, Goldonline will further accelerate its strategic expansion in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Latin American markets, integrating local compliance policies and government regulatory sandbox programs to promote localized trading services, regulatory interface connections, and liquidity partnerships, advancing the integration of global capital markets and regulatory technology. Chairman James W. Carter stated, 'Compliance is the starting point, technology is the means, and trust is the goal. Goldonline will continue to leverage regulatory recognition, win users with system stability, and reshape the next generation of financial trading platforms through global connectivity.' This system deployment not only significantly enhances Goldonline's trading execution capability and system resilience but also showcases its technological advantages as a global compliant fintech platform. Under the strategic guidance of 'regulatory compliance + technological leadership + global layout,' Goldonline is accelerating towards its long-term positioning as a 'trusted global financial foundation.'

Britain planning attack on shadow fleet, Kremlin claims
The Kremlin has accused Britain of preparing 'mass raids' to sink ships in the Russian 'shadow fleet'. The SVR, Moscow's foreign intelligence service, claimed that London was plotting attacks on the fleet of old tankers used to avoid sanctions on oil exports. The attacks would be designed to look like accidents, the SVR said, so that Britain and the West could claim that the ships were a danger, and move to restrict their movement. 'British intelligence services are planning to use Nato allies to launch a mass raid on the 'shadow fleet'; for this purpose, an ecological catastrophe in international waters is being prepared,' the SVR report claimed. The report suggested that Britain planned to commission Ukrainian special forces to sink a vessel in 'one of the bottlenecks of sea communication'. However, the report is likely to raise concerns that Russia is preparing its own 'false flag' – an operation designed to look like an attack on them – to justify an act of war. Western governments have previously been accused of planning attacks on Russia's liquefied natural gas ports or ageing fleet of tankers, in what could be considered an attempt to widen its war with Ukraine to Nato nations. Britain is often on the receiving end of such allegations as Moscow seeks to deter its support for Kyiv. It is also understood that the Kremlin uses this narrative to potentially shift the blame of any oil leaks that may be caused by any one of its ill-maintained vessels. The US and EU sanctions regime against Russia's shadow fleet has started to seriously affect its operations. According to the Brookings Institute, a Washington-based think tank, the volume of oil carried on its vessels has fallen from more than 50 million barrels a month to less than 20 million a month since the start of the year. Moscow has previously signalled its anger at the growing restrictions on the vessels by escorting them with military jets, the first time it explicitly acknowledged the shadow fleet as linked to its national security. The SVR report says: 'The impetus for such a campaign, according to London's plan, should be given by a resonant incident with one or several tankers. The plan provides for the organisation of a major sabotage, the damage from which will make it possible to declare the transportation of Russian oil a threat to all international shipping. This will untie the West's hands in choosing methods of counteraction.' The report cites two possible plans that the Russian intelligence agency claims could result in shadow fleet vessels being targeted. One would involve attacking an 'unwanted' tanker while making it appear to look like an accident. In a second scenario, British operatives would set fire to a vessel while it was docked in a port of Russian soil. Each time the British, according to the SVR, would 'entrust the execution of both terrorist attacks to Ukrainian security forces'. The claimed attack plans could be a desperate attempt to deter Donald Trump from following through on his threat to enact 100 per cent tariffs on Russia and countries that buy fossil fuel from Moscow. According to the SVR report, Britain's goal was to force the United States to apply secondary sanctions on nations that buy Russian oil. 'The goal is to force Washington, contrary to national interests, to adopt the most severe secondary sanctions against buyers of Russian energy resources, who will appear to be the 'indirect culprits of the tragedy',' the statement says.

Stakes rise in the Russia-Ukraine war as Trump's deadline for the Kremlin approaches
The coming week could bring an important moment in the war between Russia and Ukraine , as U.S. President Donald Trump's deadline for the Kremlin to reach a peace deal approaches — or it could simply melt away. U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff was expected in Moscow in the middle of this week, just before Trump's Friday deadline for the Kremlin to stop the killing or face potentially severe economic penalties from Washington. Previous Trump promises, threats and cajoling have failed to yield results. , and the stubborn diplomatic stalemate will be hard to clear away. Meanwhile, Ukraine is losing more territory on the front line, although there is no sign of a looming collapse of its defenses. Witkoff was expected to land in the Russian capital on Wednesday or Thursday, according to Trump, following his trip to Israel and Gaza . 'They would like to see (Witkoff),' Trump said Sunday of the Russians. 'They've asked that he meet so we'll see what happens.' Trump, exasperated that Russian President Vladimir Putin hasn't heeded his calls to stop bombing Ukrainian cities, a week ago moved up his ultimatum to impose additional sanctions on Russia as well as introduce secondary tariffs targeting countries that buy Russian oil, including China and India. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that officials are happy to meet with Trump's envoy. 'We are always glad to see Mr. Witkoff in Moscow,' he said. 'We consider (talks with Witkoff) important, substantive and very useful.' Trump said Sunday that Russia has proved to be 'pretty good at avoiding sanctions.' 'They're wily characters,' he said of the Russians. The Kremlin has insisted that international sanctions imposed since its February 2022 invasion of its neighbor have had a limited impact. Ukraine insists the sanctions are taking their toll on Moscow's war machine and wants Western allies to ramp them up. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday urged the United States, Europe and other nations to impose stronger secondary sanctions on Moscow's energy, trade and banking sectors. Trump's comments appeared to signal he doesn't have much hope that sanctions will force Putin's hand. The secondary sanctions also complicate Washington's relations with China and India, who stand accused of helping finance Russia's war effort by buying its oil. Since taking office in January, Trump has found that stopping the war is harder than he perhaps imagined. Senior American officials have warned that the U.S. could walk away from the conflict if peace efforts make no progress. The diplomatic atmosphere has become more heated as Trump's deadline approaches. Putin announced last Friday that Russia's new hypersonic missile , the Oreshnik, has entered service. The Russian leader has hailed its capabilities, saying its multiple warheads that plunge to a target at speeds of up to Mach 10 cannot be intercepted. They are so powerful, he said, that the use of several of them in one conventional strike could be as devastating as a nuclear attack. Also, one of Putin's top lieutenants warned that the Ukraine war could nudge Russia and the U.S. into armed conflict. Trump responded to what he called the 'highly provocative statements' by former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev by ordering the repositioning of two U.S. nuclear submarines . Putin has repeated the same message throughout the war: He will only accept a settlement on his terms and will keep fighting until they're met. Russia's relentless pounding of urban areas behind the front line have killed more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians, according to the United Nations. It has pushed on with that tactic despite Trump's public calls for it to stop over the past three months. On the 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) front line, Russia's bigger army has made slow and costly progress. It is carrying out a sustained operation to take the eastern city of Pokrovsk, a key logistical hub whose fall could open the way for a deeper drive into Ukraine. Ukraine has developed technology that has allowed it to launch long-range drone attacks deep inside Russia. In its latest strike it hit an oil depot near Russia's Black Sea resort of Sochi, starting a major fire. ___ Follow AP's coverage of the war in Ukraine at
