10.9.2019 20:30:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Celsius Network (https://celsius.network/), the industry-leading cryptocurrency platform, announces today that it has onboarded over 100 institutional clients. In order to use Celsius services, institutions must complete a rigorous KYC and AML application and evaluation process. Institutions represent the demand side of the Celsius marketplace with over 50,000 retail HODLers balancing out the supply side. The Celsius Blockchain based platform operates unlike many other traditional B2B lending marketplaces in which institutions typically represent the supply side with retail borrowers the demand side.
This announcement speaks to Celsius Network’s broader mission of becoming the Dapp that sparks the mass adoption of the Blockchain by helping to bring the next 100 million people into the crypto industry and distributing 80% of profits back to its depositor community.. In addition to the fast growth in the institutional realm, Celsius has also shown notable growth for its retail services.
● Over $2.2 billion in coin loans originated since July 2018
● Over $375 million AUM passed in customer deposits and collateral under management
● Over 160,000 lending transactions
● Over $4 million in interest payments distributed
● More earnings in BTC and ETH than anyone, returning up to 80% of its revenue to depositors
“It’s amazing to see so many institutions choosing to work with us, picking up the baton from retail investors and scale their support for cryptocurrencies as the next major asset class,” said Alex Mashinsky, CEO and founder of Celsius Network. “By bringing more pro players into crypto, we are able to keep the supply and demand in balance and provide even greater rewards and services to our depositor community of HODLers.”

Microsoft has become a licensee of the Sisvel Wi-Fi Multimode pool. The US computer and software giant is the latest in a string of major companies to take a licence to the standard essential patents offered through the programme. In doing so, it joins ASUS, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Sony Group Corporation, as well as Huawei, Panasonic, Philips and ZTE which are also pool licensors alongside KPN, Mitsubishi Electric, Orange, Aegis 11 (a Sisvel affiliate), SK Telecom and Wilus. The Sisvel Wi-Fi Multimode pool covers both Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 and offers an efficient way to access essential Wi-Fi rights for years to come.

STOKR Secures CASP and PI Licences in Luxembourg Ahead of MiCAR Deadline30.6.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
STOKR, the Luxembourg-based digital securities platform, has received authorisation from the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) and the Law of 10 November 2009 on payment services, securing its Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) and Payment Institution (PI) licences just over a week before MiCAR's 1 July 2026 enforcement deadline. Digital securities fall outside MiCAR's scope but the payment leg does not. To receive, hold, and transfer crypto assets and stablecoins on behalf of clients during subscription and redemption, a platform requires a CASP licence under MiCAR and a PI. Without both, a platform can issue digital securities but cannot move the capital. With MiCAR's transitional period ending on 30 June 2026, a significant number crypto-asset providers across Europe are still awaiting the authorisation they need to keep operating in the EU, and many face suspending services. The authorisation grants S
