SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 December 2025 – XIAO NOODLES, a leading publicly listed Chinese quick-service restaurant (QSR) chain on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX: 02408), has achieved a notable corporate milestone with the grand opening of its 500th global location. The landmark store, situated at 313@Somerset on Singapore’s iconic Orchard Road, also serves as the brand’s inaugural overseas outpost and debut venue in the Southeast Asian market. Building on this launch, XIAO NOODLES is actively preparing additional locations in Singapore, including at Tampines Mall, with more stores expected to open to consumers soon. This strategic foray comes on the heels of the chain’s successful Hong Kong IPO, underscoring its ambition to export a standardized Chinese casual dining paradigm to the international food-service landscape.

Founded in 2014, XIAO NOODLES has long anchored its brand philosophy in the maxim “Small things make a big difference”, with a core mission to deliver authentic Chongqing-style noodle cuisine to global consumers. The brand marked a pivotal chapter in its growth by successfully listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX: 02408). Specializing in regional noodle staples and complementary appetizers, the chain has curated a portfolio of signature offerings that have cemented its status as a beloved player in China’s competitive dining sector. Flagship menu items include Red Bowl Noodle (Mala Noodles with Peas and Meat Sauce), Golden Bowl Noodle (Hot n’ Sour Noodles), Wonton Series, and Maocai Hot Pot Series.

The opening of XIAO NOODLES in Singapore at 313@Somerset marks the global debut of its systemized Chinese casual dining model. More than a new location, this launch introduces a highly standardized and digital operational framework, engineered for consistent quality and scalability. Choosing Singapore—a competitive food hub and gateway to Southeast Asia—signals a strategy to enter discerning markets with a proven concept. The brand smartly positions Chongqing noodles within two major culinary trends: the global popularity of noodle dishes and a growing preference for spice. By refining this regional specialty with precise flavors and a modern cultural narrative, XIAO NOODLES transforms it into an internationally relevant offering, following the global pathways of pasta and ramen. The store itself delivers a contemporary dining experience, blending traditional recipes with localized touches and seamless digital service, all underpinned by the brand’s commitment to taste, efficiency, and value.

The opening in Singapore lays a solid foundation for XIAO NOODLES’ broader Asia-Pacific strategy. The brand plans to use this location as a model for understanding overseas operations, with an eye on further measured expansion in the region, and globally.

KINSHASA, CONGO – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 December 2025 – Vingroup today announced the signing of a trilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo) and Exposure SARL, establishing a comprehensive cooperation framework to support the development of a sustainable, modern, and accessible urban transportation system in Kinshasa. The agreement represents an important step forward in advancing urban infrastructure modernization and accelerating the green transition in the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

From left to right: Mr. Fely Lukwaka Samuna, Director of Exposure Sarl; Ms. Nguyen Hoang Phuong, CEO of Vingroup Africa; Mr. Fiston Lukwebo Musengo, Provincial Minister for Public–Private Partnerships, Trade and Industry; and Mr. Jésus-Noël Sheke Wa Domene, Provincial Minister for Planning, Budget, Transport and Urban Mobility, at the signing ceremony.

Under the MoU, Vingroup, Exposure, and the City of Kinshasa, through its relevant authorities, will collaborate to study and promote the procurement and deployment of VinFast’s fully electric vehicles, including electric buses, electric cars, and electric scooters, to meet the transportation needs of the city and its residents. In parallel, the parties will jointly develop a comprehensive electric mobility ecosystem encompassing charging infrastructure and after-sales services.

To support the transition to electric mobility, the cooperation will focus on modernizing and greening Kinshasa’s transportation system across public transport services, mobility solutions for government officials and civil servants, and transportation options for the general public.

Vingroup, through its subsidiary VinFast, will provide detailed commercial and technical proposals for vehicle fleets, including buses, cars, and scooters. Exposure will be responsible for developing a detailed preliminary business plan for vehicle procurement and infrastructure development, as well as initiating the necessary local administrative and legal procedures for importation, distribution, and operations. Meanwhile, the City of Kinshasa will review and propose appropriate incentive mechanisms, covering tax policies, regulatory frameworks, and access to infrastructure, to encourage the development and adoption of green mobility. A designated focal authority will also be appointed to manage and oversee the electric bus fleet.

During the initial phase, expected to run from now through the end of Q1 2026, the parties have agreed on a roadmap to conclude formal contracts to operationalize the above objectives. Under this roadmap, VinFast is expected to supply approximately 500 electric buses and 1,000 electric cars for public fleet operations in Kinshasa. Over the same period, VinFast and Exposure plan to implement supply and distribution agreements to introduce between 10,000 and 20,000 electric cars and between 50,000 and 100,000 VinFast electric scooters to the local market.

In pursuit of a comprehensive green ecosystem, the parties will cooperate in developing an extensive charging station network and an authorized service workshop system, ensuring stable operations and convenience for electric vehicle users.

Specifically, Vingroup reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable development and positive local impact through knowledge transfer and human resource development. These initiatives include training programs for drivers, technicians, and on-site operations personnel, as well as technical design support for electrified transportation infrastructure. Exposure will undertake technical and economic assessments of the charging network and vehicle maintenance and repair facilities. For its part, the City of Kinshasa has committed to supporting land allocation, identifying locations for charging stations, and ensuring reliable power supply solutions, thereby establishing a solid infrastructure foundation for Vingroup’s green mobility ecosystem in the city.

Mr. Jésus-Noël SHEKE WA DOMENE, Provincial Minister of Planning, Budget, Public Service, Employment, Tourism, Transport and Urban Mobility, representative of the City of Kinshasa stated: “The City of Kinshasa highly values our cooperation with Vingroup in advancing green and smart mobility solutions. This is a strategic step aligned with the city’s sustainable urban development vision, aiming to reduce environmental impacts, improve transportation infrastructure, and deliver long-term benefits to our citizens. We believe this partnership will help transform Kinshasa into a dynamic, modern, and livable city in the region.”

Mrs. Phuong NGUYEN, General Director of Vingroup Africa shared: “Vingroup is honored to partner with the City of Kinshasa on the journey toward building a modern, civilized, and sustainable living environment. The deployment of green and smart mobility solutions will not only gradually transform Kinshasa’s urban transportation landscape, but also create long-term, tangible value by improving quality of life for residents and supporting the city in achieving its future sustainable development goals.”

Previously, the Government of Kinshasa and Vingroup also signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore large-scale urban development projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Under the MoU, the two parties will jointly study and develop a large riverside urban project covering approximately 6,300 hectares, strategically located within the capital’s urban expansion plan.

The mega urban development is expected to include residential areas, villas, hospitals, schools, shopping centers, hotels, entertainment complexes, and future government and ministerial offices, positioning it as a new tourism destination and a landmark of Kinshasa’s development. The city is expected to allocate land for the project in accordance with the agreed cooperation framework.

These strategic agreements underscore Vingroup’s international vision and growing global presence, reaffirm its pioneering role in green mobility, and further deepen economic cooperation between Vietnam and the Democratic Republic of Congo, as both countries pursue green growth and sustainable development.

Vingroup is Vietnam’s largest private conglomerate, operating across six core sectors: Industrials & Technology, Real Estate & Services, Infrastructure, Green Energy, Culture and Social Enterprises, guided by the vision of “To Create a Better Life for People”.

With a strong track record, scale, and proven capabilities, Vingroup continues to expand its international footprint. The Group was recognized by TIME magazine (USA) in the “TIME World’s Best Companies 2025” list, ranking among the world’s top 1,000 companies for outstanding contributions to sustainable development, innovation, and global impact.Hashtag: #Vingroup

Security Tokenization Enters Operational Phase: BGEANX Exchange Enables Full Transaction and Settlement Workflow

Published

on

COLORADO, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 December 2025 – Recently, BGEANX Exchange announced that its security tokenization trading system has been completed and officially launched. The system has enabled seamless operation across key links such as trading and settlement, reflecting substantial progress by BGEANX in RWA (Real World Asset) related business.

For a long time, security tokenization has been regarded as an important direction for connecting traditional finance and the crypto industry. The challenge lies not in technological implementation, but in whether it can follow the settlement logic of mature securities markets. Without unified standards, it is often difficult to operate at scale and in compliance.

In this newly launched security tokenization system, BGEANX has integrated with the DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) settlement framework, making the transaction, asset registration, clearing process, and operational mechanism of digital securities complete and closely aligned with the logic of traditional securities markets.

Notably, BGEANX Exchange has simultaneously established a business rule system that matches the attributes of securities. In key areas such as product structure, investor access, information disclosure, and trading restrictions, it has introduced regulatory logic from traditional securities markets, providing clearer boundaries and rules.

On the user experience side, investors can participate in stock and ETF trading and portfolio management within a unified account system. This convenient experience lowers the operational barriers between different asset systems and enhances the ease of asset allocation.

Industry analysts point out that a security tokenization system built according to DTCC settlement logic is easier for traditional financial institutions and professional investors to understand, helping to narrow the institutional gap between digital assets and traditional securities markets.

With the official launch of the security tokenization system of BGEANX Exchange, digital securities have moved from conceptual exploration into practical operation, providing a reference pathway for the continued advancement of security tokenization.

Security Tokenization Moves Toward Practical Adoption, BGEANX Exchange Highlights Compliance Framework

Published

on

COLORADO, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 December 2025 – According to market sources, the security tokenization trading system of BGEANX Exchange has been completed and officially launched. Compared to earlier platforms that focused mainly on “on-chain” solutions, the present-day market cares more about whether related products have clear rules, stable operational capabilities, and can meet the needs of ordinary users.

As a future trend in finance, investors are most concerned with the operating rules and settlement mechanisms of security tokenization. Public information shows that BGEANX Exchange has introduced DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) standards, completing the processes of trading, registration, clearing, and settlement—giving security tokens a clear operational order within the platform.

The security tokenization products of BGEANX Exchange offer explicit rules at the regulatory level. Before participating in trading, users can clearly understand asset trading restrictions, settlement methods, and information disclosure requirements. For professional users, the clarity of these rules provides a more stable foundation for trading strategies and risk management arrangements.

Market participants point out that the key to broader market participation in security tokenization is having a sound operational mechanism. When trading, settlement, and rule disclosure form a unified system, security-type digital assets come closer to the form of financial products that can operate sustainably over the long term.

Amid the continuous emergence of RWA products, the security tokenization system of BGEANX Exchange is regarded as one of the most mature product models. From its launch, the system has incorporated compliance requirements, rule disclosures, and risk controls into a unified framework, enabling security-type digital assets to operate stably within a regulated structure. This provides a clear reference for the long-term development of security tokenization in the crypto industry.
