BRICS cooperation shines with strong appeal
BEIJING, Aug. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A report from People’s Daily: The 15th BRICS Summit to be held in Johannesburg is destined to be a grand and dynamic event.
Naledi Pandor, South Africa’s minister of international relations and cooperation, recently said that 67 leaders from African countries and the Global South have been invited to attend the BRICS-Africa Outreach and BRICS Plus Dialogue, and about 20 dignitaries from the African Union Commission, the United Nations and regional economic blocs have been invited for a meeting to be held before the summit.
South Africa actively supports the “recruitment of new members.” “We have had formal expressions of interest from the leaders of 23 countries in joining BRICS, and many more informal approaches about the possibilities of BRICS membership,” she added.
Over the past 17 years since the BRICS mechanism was established, BRICS countries have upheld the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation, constantly expanded areas of cooperation, enriched the connotation of cooperation and achieved fruitful results.
The success of the BRICS cooperation has boosted the confidence of developing countries that hope to accelerate development while maintaining independence, and has won high recognition and trust from these countries.
A large number of emerging market countries and developing countries have shown strong willingness to further strengthen cooperation with BRICS countries.
During the 2017 BRICS summit in China’s Xiamen, China for the first time proposed the “BRICS Plus” cooperation model, building an important platform of solidarity and cooperation for emerging market countries and developing countries. It was hailed as an important innovation to expand BRICS countries’ global influence.
In 2022, at the 14th BRICS summit, the leaders of the five BRICS countries agreed to explore “BRICS Plus” cooperation at more levels, in more areas and in a wider scope, to promote the membership expansion process. It has received wide attention and active response from multiple parties.
The comprehensive and pragmatic cooperation of the BRICS is what makes the mechanism tremendously appealing. The BRICS cooperation has formed an all-dimensional mechanism led by leaders’ meeting and involving meetings of foreign ministers and senior representatives for security issues. It has forged a cooperation architecture with its three main drivers, namely, economic cooperation, political and security cooperation, and people-to-people exchanges.
BRICS countries are an important emerging force in the global economy. Statistics released by UK-based economic research institute Acorn Macro Consulting in March this year showed that BRICS countries accounted for a larger share of the global economy than the G7 in 2022 based on purchasing power parity.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicted that in the next five years, BRICS countries will contribute close to 40 percent of global economic growth.
In recent years, BRICS countries have steadily strengthened pragmatic cooperation in areas including poverty alleviation, food security, COVID-19 fight and vaccination, development financing, climate change and green development, industrialization, digital economy and connectivity, injecting momentum into global economic recovery.
BRICS countries follow true multilateralism and make decisions based on equal footing and consensus-building. In a range of global multilateral mechanisms including the UN, G20, WTO, IMF and World Bank, BRICS countries have steadily enhanced policy communication and coordination, promoting the reform of the current international system in a constructive manner.
It can be said that the influence of BRICS cooperation has gone beyond the five countries and the cooperation mechanism has become a constructive force for boosting world economic growth, improving global governance and promoting democracy in international relations.
It’s not surprising that such a cooperation mechanism gains extensive recognition and support from the international community, and there will be more and more like-minded partners willing to join this promising mechanism.
In June this year, an article published on the website of Spanish newspaper Rebelion stated that BRICS countries share a common vision of fairer international trade and multilateral cooperation, which aims at safeguarding shared interests. They will promote a more just world order that brings stability to global production, the article added.
Against the backdrop of rising unilateralism, protectionism and exclusionism, BRICS countries keep away from exclusive “small circles” and are committed to building an inclusive “big family.” This has become a model for emerging market and developing countries to carry out South-South cooperation, building an extensive platform for emerging economies to participate in South-South cooperation.
Currently, the collective rise of emerging economies has become a trend of the times, and “BRICS Plus” is an important manifestation of this trend.
“BRICS Plus” cooperation always focuses on development and promotes the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, so as to advance global development. It can unite developing countries and explore new space for the development of the BRICS mechanism.
Feng Xingke, secretary-general of the World Financial Forum, said the BRICS resolutely upholds globalization and cooperation, and serves as a cooperation mechanism themed with development.
In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors have made development the top priority for developing countries. This is why the BRICS cooperation mechanism is attractive to these countries, Feng said.
It is believed that the expanding “circle of friends” of the BRICS mechanism will further increase the representation and influence of BRICS countries. As more emerging market countries and developing countries deeply integrate into BRICS cooperation, it will demonstrate greater appeal with even more substantial cooperation results, and become a dynamic force making constructive changes to the global governance system.

OnRe, Backed by Ethena, Solana Ventures, and RockawayX Launches Structured Yield Product Combining Real-World Stability and On-Chain Upside
LONDON, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, OnRe, the leading regulated on-chain reinsurance company, launches its ONe token. ONe is an accumulating token for LPs, currently offering projected returns of up to 40.35% consisting of reinsurance performance, collateral yield, and token incentives. OnRe unlocks previously inaccessible yield from the $750 billion global reinsurance market, and combines it with the digital asset market’s unique return attributes, resulting in a stable and scalable product.
Through its partnership with Ethena, OnRe allows users to deposit sUSDe into a reinsurance pool on Solana. Deposited sUSDe flows into a balanced reinsurance portfolio, carefully underwritten by OnRe’s underwriting and actuarial experts, then allocated across diversified insurance lines to generate uncorrelated yields. This enables on-chain capital markets to utilize this real-world asset class as liquid collateral across the ecosystem.
“OnRe provides the perfect real-world use case for sUSDe, allowing over $6bn in stable capital to earn additional, meaningful yield by deploying into one of the world’s most established financial systems. This partnership sets the stage for a new era of capital efficiency, transforming deposits into productive, yield-generating assets while opening a market that has long been out of reach for most investors.” — Guy Young, Founder of Ethena Labs.
OnRe’s blockchain-native structured product unlocks capabilities unreplicable in traditional finance, including upside participation through on-chain funding rates and integrations with other DeFi protocols to enhance capital efficiency.
In bearish markets, OnRe delivers consistent, stable yield through reinsurance exposure, independent of crypto and equity downturns. In bullish conditions, elevated on-chain funding rates and token incentives from sUSDe and the $ONRE protocol token offer meaningful upside potential.
ONe is directly tied to a regulated, revenue-generating business, setting it apart from DeFi tokens that rely on emissions or abstract governance mandates. Its value is linked to TVL, backed by real-world underwriting, and aligned with long-term platform growth. The project’s revenue dynamics are appealing, with the ability to generate the same income from $10M in TVL as a $500M money market fund.
Rising on-chain capital flows, driven by stablecoin adoption and investor demand for lower-volatility yield, make for ideal launch timing. With support from RockawayX, a seed investor in Solana and backer of 15+ of the ecosystem’s leading projects, and the Solana Foundation, OnRe’s integration roadmap will offer pool investors the potential for additional returns through DeFi composability, such as the ability to use the pool deposit receipt as borrow collateral on lending platforms.
“We pursue DeFi products that offer a substantially superior risk and return profile or user experience to traditional alternatives, and OnRe definitely fits the bill, with predictable returns in bearish environments, and meaningful upside in bullish times. Active participants will leverage OnRe’s integrations across Solana DeFi, with projects like Kamino, Exponent, and Fragmetric, making reinsurance a key on-chain portfolio building block. Better yet, the reinsurance industry is sorely in need of a digital lift, and we see OnRe accelerating a leapfrog step forward.” — Samantha Bohbot, Partner & Chief Growth Officer of RockawayX.
“Innovation doesn’t happen overnight or in isolation. The launch of OnRe is the result of powerful partnerships and scalable technology, creating something genuinely new in digital assets and insurance. It’s a model that’s rigorously tested, securely designed, and fully compliant. I’m excited to see ONe scale as a reliable collateral asset year-round, giving digital asset markets access to the strong, stable returns of insurance — one of the world’s largest and most profitable industries.” — Dan Roberts, Co-Founder and CEO of OnRe.
Backed by deep expertise and full regulatory approval, OnRe sets a new benchmark for allocators seeking reliable, cycle-resilient returns. Visit onre.finance for early investor incentives and and sign up to secure first access to upcoming rewards.
About OnRe
OnRe bridges the reliability of the $750bn global reinsurance market with the transformative power of blockchain. Licensed to deploy digital assets as insurance collateral, OnRe provides a new class of investors with direct access to consistent real-world yield through structured products designed to generate returns in both bull and bear markets — creating a return profile not replicable in traditional finance. With a focus on transparency, scalability, and capital efficiency, OnRe is transforming how capital is deployed, bringing opportunity to a system that has historically been out of reach.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, today announced an industry-disrupting partnership with The Open Network (TON) that introduces a $1 million reward pool campaign and fundamentally challenges established exchange revenue models. Launching today and running through June 20, the “TON Triumph” campaign eliminates all trading fees on TON pairs while offering staking returns that dwarf typical yields by up to 100 times.
In an unprecedented move that signals a significant shift in exchange competition strategies, MEXC will offer new users access to staking opportunities with up to 400% APR on TON tokens—creating what analysts describe as the most aggressive user acquisition campaign in the cryptocurrency exchange sector this year.
“This partnership represents a strategic inflection point for both the TON ecosystem and the broader exchange landscape,” said Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC. “By eliminating all typical entry costs into TON trading for a full month while simultaneously offering returns that outpace all competitors, we’re not simply running a promotion—we’re fundamentally changing how users engage with emerging Layer-1 ecosystems.”
Campaign Transforms Market Access and Investment Returns
The 30-day campaign introduces multiple disruptive elements that directly challenge other exchanges’ TON market dominance:
- Zero-Fee Trading Structure: Complete elimination of fees on TON/USDT, TON/USDC, and TON/EUR spot pairs, TONUSDT futures, and all TON/USDE network withdrawals—removing traditional revenue mechanisms that have defined exchange business models.
- Industry-Leading APR: New users can stake TON tokens to earn up to 400% APR, positioning the offering at 100 times higher than typical cryptocurrency staking returns and several hundred times above traditional banking products.
- Democratized Trading Access: Zero-fee structure gives retail traders access to the same economics previously available only to professional and institutional traders, significantly leveling the playing field.
- Limited-Time, First-Come Allocation: High-yield staking pools operate on a first-come, first-served basis with participants limited to 250 TON tokens per user, creating immediate urgency for early participation.
The campaign also includes passive rewards of up to 8% daily APR for USDE holders, spot trading rewards from a pool of 32,500 TON, and a futures trading competition with 100,000 USDT in bonuses.
TON Ecosystem Expansion and Infrastructure Advancement
This partnership is pivotal for The Open Network, which continues to gain momentum through its connection to Telegram’s 900+ million users and growing developer ecosystem.
The collaboration represents a significant leap forward in TON’s accessibility and adoption curve. By drastically reducing barriers to entry while providing exceptional incentives, the campaign accelerates the integration of new participants into the TON ecosystem, coinciding precisely with the network’s rapidly expanding technical capabilities and use cases.
The campaign also showcases MEXC’s platform capabilities, demonstrating advanced infrastructure that can handle zero-fee trading across multiple markets simultaneously while managing high-volume staking operations with variable APR structures.
Time-Sensitive Opportunity with Global Access
The $1 million in rewards is available exclusively during the 30-day window, with certain high-value components like the 400% APR staking pool starting on May 21st and operating on a capped allocation basis.
MEXC has created a streamlined onboarding process that allows new users to complete registration and KYC verification in minutes, with the campaign accessible to eligible participants globally through both web and mobile interfaces.

HTX Executives Go Face-to-Face: Justin Sun & Molly Dive Into Market Strategy, Space Visions, and More Opportunities
SINGAPORE, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange has officially launched its new live talk show series Real Talk with HTX Executives. The premiere episode featured Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX, who provided an in-depth discussion on several recent platform highlights. HTX representative Molly also participated in the show, directly addressing user questions in real-time.
On The Launch of Mars Program Special Edition
Justin Sun: A journey to Mars is actually a personal dream of mine. Interestingly,the Chinese names HTX and Mars form a natural alliteration.
For now, the first step is space travel. I believe it’s a pursuit worth sharing with the HTX community. If there’s ever an opportunity, I aspire to offer our users the chance to experience space as well. Our investment in the space sector is long-term.
Our focus on space does not imply any deceleration in our core product development. On the contrary, HTX remains aggressive and ahead of the curve in new asset listings. As a Top 10 exchange, HTX possesses both significant momentum and established credibility. Regarding the speed and quality of token listings, our competitiveness matches, if not surpasses, that of any other exchange in the market.
The Mars Program symbolizes our vision for the future, reaching for the stars and beyond. Simultaneously, we remain firmly grounded in our commitment to our community. Our ongoing reward campaigns and $HTX token empowerment initiatives continue to operate at full capacity, delivering tangible value to our users.
On the Partnership with Trump Family’s Crypto Project
Justin Sun: We were one of the earliest players to recognize the significance of the Trump family’s involvement in crypto. From the beginning, I believed that Donald Trump’s influence would bring a huge wave of positive momentum into space, and now we’re seeing that come to life.
I am honored to serve as an advisor to the Trump family’s crypto team. I’m actively involved in providing insights and helping bridge the gap between crypto and traditional politics and, in a broader sense, possibly even between the two major economies. Our objective is to establish a robust, long-term relationship with the Trump family and onboard individuals from traditional industries into Web3.
On HTX’s Performance and Growth Strategy
Justin Sun: I’m confident that as long as HTX stays on the right course, sustainable growth will follow. Our strong brand influence, coupled with established reputation as a veteran exchange, fosters deep and enduring trust among our user base. What sets us apart is our unwavering focus on doing what’s right, especially in security and risk controls. HTX has maintained an unblemished security record for over twenty months, a significant accomplishment considering the frequency of security breaches within the industry.
We will soon launch a major win-back campaign for dormant users. If you’ve been away from HTX, there’s never been a better time to come back and rediscover what we offer.
The “Real Talk with HTX Executives” program was conceived based on my conviction that security is the paramount concern for cryptocurrency users. A lack of public engagement from exchange leadership can potentially erode user trust. This on-camera series will enable HTX executives to speak directly to our users, share important updates, and listen to their thoughts and concerns firsthand. This commitment to open communication is fundamental to how HTX continuously builds and reinforces user trust.
In response to inquiries about the future role of exchanges and HTX’s potential redefinition of the “trading platform,” HTX representative @HTX_Molly explained that HTX is evolving beyond the traditional exchange model, aiming to be a builder driving the industry’s long-term progress. By cultivating DAO culture and prioritizing community engagement, HTX is forging deeper connections among miners, developers, and users. This collaborative approach aims to facilitate the integration of Web3 into mainstream adoption through genuine consensus-building.
Meanwhile, with Justin Sun’s recent efforts to expand HTX’s reach into the U.S. market, the exchange is making a strategic move to send a global message — that Chinese exchanges offer not only speed, but also conviction and long-term vision.
About HTX
Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved from a virtual asset exchange into a comprehensive ecosystem of blockchain businesses that span digital asset trading, financial derivatives, research, investments, incubation, and other businesses.
As a world-leading gateway to Web3, HTX harbors global capabilities that enable it to provide users with safe and reliable services.
