Soccer-Saudi Arabia to meet Iraq, Indonesia as Qatar take on UAE, Oman in World Cup qualifiers
(Reuters) -Saudi Arabia were drawn to take on Iraq and Indonesia in the fourth phase of Asia's preliminaries for the 2026 World Cup on Thursday with back-to-back Asian Cup winners Qatar facing the United Arab Emirates and Oman. The winners of each of the three-team groups, which will be played in October, will join already-qualified Australia, Japan, South Korea, Uzbekistan, Iran and Jordan at next year's expanded 48-nation finals in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Saudi Arabia, who are attempting to qualify for a seventh World Cup finals since 1994, will host Group A and open against Indonesia on Oct. 8. Indonesia will then play Graham Arnold's Iraq on Oct. 11 before the Saudis and Iraq face off on Oct. 14. Group B hosts Qatar, organisers of the 2022 World Cup but who have never qualified for the finals, will take on Oman in their first game on Oct. 8. UAE will face the Omanis on Oct. 11, with Qatar and the UAE meeting on Oct. 14. The nations finishing in second place in each group will advance to a further round of qualifying, which will be held over two legs in November on a home-and-away basis. Asia has been granted eight guaranteed berths at the finals. A possible ninth berth is available to the winner of November's match-up via an intercontinental playoff in March.

MetaComp Study Finds Limited KYT Tools Insufficient for Blockchain Compliance
New research on stablecoin flows from MetaComp urges institutions to adopt multi-layered KYT methodology to address critical gaps in AML/CFT compliance. SINGAPORE, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As stablecoins are poised to take centre stage in cross-border payments, a new study by MetaComp Pte Ltd (MetaComp), a Major Payment Institution licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), evaluates the effectiveness of leading on-chain Know-Your-Transactions (KYT) tools in detecting Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Financing of Terrorism (CFT) risks across major blockchains . The findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in how crypto transactions are screened for financial crime risk. The study analysed 7,000 live and randomly selected transactions on Ethereum and Tron using four leading KYT providers, Chainalysis, Elliptic, Merkle Science, and Beosin. By comparing the results across single-tool, dual-tool, three-tool, and four-tool screening configurations. Findings revealed that up to 25% of high-risk transactions were not flagged when relying on only one or two KYT tools, exposing critical gaps in transaction monitoring and underscoring the risks of insufficient tooling in regulated digital asset environments. Screening Practices Under ScrutinyThe study focused on real-world transactions involving USDT and USDC, the two most widely used stablecoins in global payment flows, across Ethereum and Tron blockchains. MetaComp's analysis compared the effectiveness of using one to four KYT tools per transaction and found that a three-tool approach significantly improves risk detection while maintaining processing speed suitable for real-time environments. This offers a scalable and practical model for institutional compliance. 'For institutions operating in a regulated environment, especially those dealing with stablecoin flows, it is no longer sufficient to rely on a single tool for transaction screening,' said Tin Pei Ling, Co-President of MetaComp. 'This research provides evidence that layering multiple KYT tools can significantly reduce blind spots and strengthen the integrity of on-chain payment ecosystems. We hope these findings will help elevate industry standards for on-chain risk monitoring and support the development of a more trusted digital finance environment.' Key Findings: Accuracy Improves with Layered ScreeningThe study found that relying on a single KYT tool can result in up to 25% of high-risk transactions being missed, meaning 1 in 4 potentially suspicious transactions may go undetected due to limited screening coverage. These high-risk transactions often involved exposure to sanctioned wallet addresses, stolen funds, darknet-linked activity, coin mixers, and fraud-related schemes, all of which typically trigger reporting or escalation requirements. In contrast, a three-tool screening model lowered the false clean rate to below 0.10%, while maintaining screening speeds under two seconds per transaction. This makes it a practical and scalable for production environments requiring near-instant results. The study also identified five systemic weaknesses across the industry that contribute to screening inconsistencies: fragmented risk coverage across different tools, inconsistent risk categorisation, a lack of standardised outputs, operational complexity in reconciling results, and processing latency introduced by multi-tool setups. The research further observed that Ethereum-based transactions showed lower AML/CFT risk signals than Tron in the sampled dataset. Specifically, 6.95% of Tron transactions were flagged as severe risk compared to 0.70% on Ethereum, with more than 20% of Tron transactions assessed at medium-high risk or worse. While the study did not evaluate blockchain protocols themselves, the findings underscore the need for differentiated compliance strategies based on network-specific transaction behaviour. 'We're not comparing blockchain technologies, but rather the nature of the transactional risk flowing through them,' added Tin Pei Ling. 'Each KYT provider sees different parts of the risk landscape. For institutions, relying on a single perspective is no longer viable – reconciling multiple signals is critical to maintaining regulatory trust. Our goal is to close the gaps with defensible infrastructure.' Stablecoins in Focus for Institutional Risk ManagementUSDT and USDC were selected for this study given their prominence in institutional use cases such as remittance, settlement, and merchant payments. MetaComp recommends that a minimum of three on-chain KYT tools be simultaneously implemented for each transaction to strike an optimal balance between AML/CFT effectiveness, cost, and processing efficiency. Analysis shows that using only one or two tools can result in up to 25% of high-risk transactions being incorrectly cleared — exposing critical compliance gaps. While three tools provide effective baseline coverage, MetaComp has adopted a four-tool setup across its CAMP and StableX platforms, raising the standard to deliver enhanced risk detection and stronger regulatory alignment. Methodology and ScopeThe analysis was conducted using 7,000 real and randomly selected transactions involving USDT and USDC across the Ethereum and Tron blockchains. The sample transactions were drawn from live blockchain data on June 26 and 27, 2025, with all MetaComp internal activity intentionally excluded to preserve research independence. Screening was conducted using four KYT tools – Chainalysis, Elliptic, Merkle Science, and Beosin – selected for their data coverage, typology specialisation, regional intelligence, and integration capabilities. To address the limitations of fragmented vendor data, MetaComp applied a proprietary screening methodology comprising: 1. Standardised risk category mapping2. Unified risk parameter configuration aligned with regulatory expectations3. A multi-tool screening workflow that includes initial screening, direct exposure assessment, transaction-level exposure analysis and wallet-level risk profiling While the dataset represents a point-in-time snapshot, the findings offer directional insight into how different KYT screening configurations perform under real-world conditions. The decision to limit the sample to two stablecoins and two blockchains reflects MetaComp's focus on real-world cross-border flows and the screening costs associated with running multi-tool setups. The research also provides a foundation for broader industry dialogue around how digital asset firms can meet rising regulatory expectations while maintaining operational speed, clarity, and cost efficiency. MetaComp acknowledges the time-bound scope of the analysis and encourages further study to support broader generalisations. -END- About MetaComp MetaComp is a leading licensed cross-border FX and digital assets infrastructure provider headquartered in Singapore and licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) under the Payment Services Act 2019.

British Tech Firm Skyral to Fight Mongolia's Deadly Pollution with Advanced Traffic Modelling
Skyral signs USD 1.7 million contract with Mongolia's capital city to improve transport network Advanced traffic modelling projected to save $240M–$520M by 2030 while reducing pollution deaths Technology deployment supports Mongolia's Vision 2050 transport infrastructure program worth $250M–$750M in potential benefits The World Bank estimates the annual economic cost of the country's road crashes and congestion is $438 million, equivalent to 3.9% of Mongolia's GDP LONDON, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — British software company Skyral has signed a USD 1.7m pilot deal with Mongolia's capital city, Ulaanbaatar, to support efforts in reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. The deal, with the potential to prevent deaths, was signed today by the Mayor of Ulaanbaatar and the city's First Deputy Mayor for Economic Development and Infrastructure. The five-month pilot, with the expectation of a three-year extension, will help Ulaanbaatar become a '20-minute city'. The goals of the 20-minute city include ensuring that people can access work, education, and essential services more efficiently through new infrastructure, such as the Circular Expressway, new tramway lines, and a metro line. Nick Blair, Chairman & Co Founder of Skyral, said: 'Skyral is proud to support Ulaanbaatar on its journey to becoming a 20-minute city.' 'Our technology will provide the capital's leaders with the insights needed to create a safer, healthier, and more efficient city for their citizens.' 'By partnering with Skyral, Ulaanbaatar will become one of the first cities in the world to implement this unique combination of massive scale transportation modelling and human behaviour simulation to efficiently tackle its traffic crisis.' 'This project showcases the versatility of our proprietary, breakthrough British technology, and its application in resolving urgent problems around the globe.' With an estimated 7,000-plus Mongolians dying each year from polluted air, urban city centres are the most affected. City Officials have identified traffic congestion, partly driven by increased migration to the capital, as a direct cause. Additionally, the World Bank estimates the annual economic cost of the country's road crashes and congestion is $438 million, equivalent to 3.9% of Mongolia's GDP. To combat both traffic congestion and the resulting human health crisis, Skyral will use their modelling & simulation platform to help city planners develop a deeper understanding of population behaviours and effectively map transport network development. Their unique development of digital twin technology, overlaid with AI-enabled modelling, will not just simulate potential congestion, but also model why and how congestion occurs by analysing commuter movements, school-run routes, and retail and leisure activity among the city's 1.8 million residents. Khishgeegiin Nyambaatar, Mayor of Ulaanbaatar, said: 'This year, our city will implement projects aimed at reducing traffic congestion, developing multimodal public transportation, and reducing air pollution.' 'We have already announced international tenders in phases for major infrastructure projects such as the Tuul Expressway, the Circular Expressway, two tramway lines, and a metro line.' 'To implement these projects, all engineering planning will be based on AI-powered big data models. That is why we have initiated collaboration with Skyral to develop Ulaanbaatar's data-driven digital models.' The integration of Skyral's city-scale modelling is a game changer for city planners, enabling better understanding of how the city and its inhabitants react to future infrastructure construction and new transport options, helping to reduce accidents. Skyral has built modelling and simulation software for governments around the world since 2016, now working with the UK, US, and NATO partners.
