Dubai’s Wafi Group has set up a joint venture with Adrian Cheng, former CEO of Hong Kong developer New World Development, to bring anime-themed Chinese brands and entertainment to the Wafi City complex from next year.

The venture with Cheng’s new investment firm, ALMAD, called Wafi Anime 11, will roll out exhibitions and pop-ups and introduce a private members’ club for high-net-worth clients across the Middle East and North Africa, the companies said.

The Wafi City complex includes a mall, hotels, restaurants and residences.

Cheng, scion of one of Hong Kong’s richest families, launched ALMAD this year to focus on digital assets and emerging markets.

Dubai welcomed about 824,000 Chinese visitors in 2024, up 31 percent from a year earlier, according to official data.

Australian regulators ease regulations on stablecoin intermediaries

Australian regulators ease regulations on stablecoin intermediaries

PANews reported on September 18th that, according to Decrypt, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has granted a regulatory exemption to stablecoin intermediaries, allowing them to distribute cryptocurrencies issued by licensed Australian institutions without having to hold a separate financial services license. The exemption, published Thursday, states that intermediaries distributing stablecoins issued by Australian Financial Services (AFS) licensed issuers no longer need to apply for separate AFS, market, or clearing facility licenses. This measure, effective upon registration of federal legislation, is a significant step forward in addressing Australia's regulatory challenges in the stablecoin market. Blockchain APAC CEO Steve Vallas stated that this move is a temporary transition before broader reforms and is consistent with financial services law. The exemption does not change the determination of whether stablecoins are financial products, but simply "suspends the secondary licensing requirement for distributors of licensed issuers," allowing distribution through licensed channels while maintaining issuer liability and requiring intermediaries to provide product disclosure statements to ensure transparency.
