Velo Protocol: Binance Alpha Listing Accelerates Asia's Web3 Liquidity Revolution
In addition to the Binance Alpha Listing, The State of Velo Q1 2025 Report by Messari marks another important milestone for Velo Protocol. During Q1, average daily transactions surged 255.5%, rising from 445 to 1,581, driven by Nova network activity. Daily active addresses also increased 84.7%, from 2,363 to 4,364, while VELO-denominated TVL grew 10.1%.
Backed by major institutions such as CP Group, UOB Venture Management, and HashKey, along with strategic collaborations with Paxos ($USDL) and Securitize to advance asset tokenization, Velo is building a compliant and scalable digital liquidity infrastructure across Asia.
Unlocking New Financial Access in Asia

Integration of the Lightyear Trading Bot with MT4, MT5, and Trading View, enhancing trading efficiency.
SofinX-powered Social Trading feature that enables users to replicate top traders' strategies.
Multi-chain support through integration with Solana and external wallets, expanding Universe DEX's reach.

Major Expansion: Scaling Asia's Web3 Ecosystem
With a vision to accelerate the transition from Web2 to Web3, Velo is introducing a series of innovations that significantly expand its ecosystem's capabilities. The Universe Platform will soon launch next-generation Multi FX and Perpetual (Perp) contracts, powered by a sophisticated Liquidity Aggregator that sources liquidity from multiple platforms.
Meanwhile, the Profit-Sharing Social Trading feature enables users to benefit from automated trading bots or mirror the strategies of top-performing traders. To further enhance user experience, Multi-Chain & Wallet Connect integration allows seamless external wallet connectivity across multiple blockchains. Additionally, the Orbit Platform offers a Whitelabel Loyalty Platform, empowering businesses to adopt Web3-based loyalty programs with ease.
Future Roadmap: Delivering Asia's Web3 Financial Infrastructure
Collectively, these innovations serve as the foundation for Velo's long-term vision of building the Velo Financial Superhighway—a fully integrated Web3-native ecosystem aimed at driving financial inclusion across Asia.
On the Liquidity Layer, Velo will feature the PLG Gold RWA Token for on-chain gold exposure, a Stable Coin and RWA Aggregator to strengthen trade stability, and a Web2 to Web3 Liquidity Backbone to bridge multi-chain liquidity.
On the Wallet Layer, the Orbit-based Super Wallet will integrate payments and loyalty into a unified merchant ecosystem across Asia. On the Settlement Layer, Velo PAYFAI, an AI-based system that uses PayFi and AI agents to optimize settlement, will accelerate Web3-based cross-border trade financing, positioning Velo as a bridge asset in Asia's digital trade flows.
The Binance Alpha listing and the Messari Report are not merely market expansion milestones, but a testament to the growing global confidence in Velo Protocol's technology, utility, and mission to bridge traditional and decentralized finance across Asia. This milestone further accelerates Velo Protocol's position as the backbone of Asia's liquidity infrastructure, powering the region's trillion-dollar digital economy.
Velo Protocol is an Asia-based Web3 liquidity infrastructure bridging traditional and decentralized finance. With multi-chain technology, social trading, stablecoins, RWA, and AI-powered settlement, Velo is leading Asia's digital financial transformation.

SES Completes Acquisition of Intelsat, Creating Global Multi-Orbit Connectivity Powerhouse
Article content New leading multi-orbit space company with a network of 120 GEO+MEO satellites and access to LEO constellations enables SES to better serve its customers Article content LUXEMBOURG — SES, a leading space solutions company, today announced the completion of its highly value accretive acquisition of Intelsat, creating a strengthened global satellite operator with an expanded fleet of 120 satellites across two orbits. The newly combined company will leverage its skilled teams with deep vertical expertise to deliver integrated multi-orbit, multi-band satellite and connectivity solutions to businesses and governments around the world, creating a stronger multi-orbit operator with ~60% of revenue in high-growth segments. Article content With a world-class network including approximately 90 geostationary (GEO), nearly 30 medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites, strategic access to low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, and an extensive ground network, SES can now deliver connectivity solutions utilising complementary spectrum bands including C-, Ku-, Ka-, Military Ka-, X-band, and Ultra High Frequency. The expanded capabilities of the combined company will enable it to deliver premium-quality services and tailored solutions to its customers. The company's assets and networks, once fully integrated, will put SES in a strong competitive position to better serve the evolving needs of its customers including governments, aviation, maritime, and media across the globe. Article content 'Today, we're not just merging two companies — we're creating a stronger company, built for the future. I want to extend a warm welcome to all new employees, customers, and partners,' said Adel Al-Saleh, CEO of SES. 'In this new chapter, we are bringing together a powerful mix of talented people, network infrastructure, spectrum, innovation, and global relationships that will allow us to deliver next-generation connectivity and space-enabled services in smarter and quicker ways.' The transaction establishes a more robust financial foundation for SES, with pro forma combined revenue of €3.7 billion projected to grow at a low- to mid-single digit CAGR (2024-2028E). The combined company pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of €1.8 billion is expected to grow at mid-single digit CAGR including synergies (2024-2028E), with plans to generate over €1 billion in Adjusted Free Cash Flow by 2027-2028 (pre IRIS 2). This stronger financial profile is supported by a combined contract backlog exceeding €8 billion, providing clear visibility into future revenue streams. Article content SES plans to maintain disciplined investment in future growth, with annual capital expenditures averaging €600–€650 million from 2025-2028E, excluding the IRIS 2 programme. This will enable the company to continuously strengthen its network and explore emerging growth markets including Internet of Things (IoT), direct-to-device communications, inter-satellite data relay, space situational awareness, and quantum key distribution. The company's profitable growth outlook, strong balance sheet metrics and expanded cash flows will support both continued innovation and increased shareholder returns, with the intent to raise the annual base dividend once targeted net leverage of below 3 times is achieved within 12-18 months after closing. Article content 'Our focus is clear: to grow, to lead in high-potential markets, and to shape the future of our industry. This is a long-term play, and we are building with the future in mind — growing year after year, expanding our capabilities, and creating lasting value for our customers and shareholders alike,' Al-Saleh said. Article content By integrating the two organisations, SES expects to deliver synergies with a total net present value of €2.4 billion, representing an annual run rate of approximately €370 million, with 70% of these efficiencies anticipated to be executed within three years after closing. These savings will primarily come from streamlined operations, optimised capacity costs, and procurement efficiencies, along with the strategic integration of satellite fleets and ground infrastructure. Article content SES remains headquartered in Luxembourg and is publicly listed on the Paris and Luxembourg stock exchanges (Ticker: SESG), while maintaining a significant presence in the United States with its North American main office in McLean, Virginia. Article content The new SES Senior Leadership Team can be found here. Article content Guggenheim Securities acted as lead financial advisor to SES. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as co-financial advisor. Deutsche Bank Securities Inc also acted as a financial advisor. Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank AG, Filiale Luxembourg provided committed financing for the transaction, which was subsequently syndicated. Both Guggenheim Securities and Morgan Stanley & Co LLC rendered a fairness opinion to SES's Board of Directors. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, Hogan Lovells, Arendt & Medernach, and Freshfields served as legal counsel to SES. Article content PJT Partners served as financial advisor to Intelsat and rendered a fairness opinion to the Intelsat S.A. Board of Directors. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, Wiley Rein, and Elvinger Hoss Prussen served as legal counsel to Intelsat.

SINGAPORE, July 4, 2025 /CNW/ -- MemeCore, the world's first Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for the Meme 2.0 era, is proud to announce the official listing of its native token, $M, on multiple centralized exchanges. Trading commenced on 3 July 2025, with the $M/USDT trading pair available on Binance Alpha, Kraken, Bitget, BingX, HTX and Hashkey. To commemorate this milestone, each participating exchange will be launching exclusive trading campaigns and giveaways to reward users. Full campaign details can be found on the respective exchange platforms. Redefining Memes with Layer 1 Power MemeCore was designed to usher in a new age of crypto-powered virality — Meme 2.0 — where meme coins are no longer fleeting trends, but enduring cultural and economic forces. Through a unique incentive structure that rewards content virality, on-chain activity and community participation, MemeCore enables memes to become the backbone of a new, self-sustaining blockchain economy. What is Meme 2.0? Meme 2.0 reimagines the future of meme coins — moving beyond speculative hype into a utility-driven, community-powered model. At the heart of this vision are: Proof of Meme (PoM): A first-of-its-kind consensus model that tracks and rewards viral content, project contributions, and on-chain transactions — ensuring long-term project relevance. Meme Vaults: Smart contract-based, automatically generated reward pools that power fair and transparent contributor incentives for every meme project launched on the MemeCore chain. The Role of $M $M is the utility token of the MemeCore blockchain. It powers gas fees, staking, governance, and the PoM consensus model — making it the engine behind MemeCore's viral economy. As more meme-native projects deploy on the network, demand for $M is expected to grow alongside user engagement and content creation. About MemeCore MemeCore is the first Layer 1 blockchain specially built for Meme 2.0 — a new paradigm, where meme coins evolve from short-term speculation into long-term cultural and economic forces, powered by community-driven virality.
