Telnyx Launches WhatsApp Business Calling, Bringing Programmable Voice to the World's Largest Messaging Platform

CHICAGO, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Telnyx, a carrier-grade global communications platform, today announced WhatsApp business calling, enabling businesses to place and receive voice calls over WhatsApp using the same platform they use for PSTN voice, SMS, and AI-powered communications.

With this launch, businesses can extend their AI voice agents to WhatsApp, combining real-time call control with conversational AI on one of the world’s most widely used communication platforms.

Rather than treating WhatsApp as a separate system, Telnyx allows teams to run AI assistants across PSTN, WebRTC, and WhatsApp from a single platform. Existing call flows, AI models, and call automation logic can be reused, enabling AI assistants to handle conversations across channels without additional integrations.

“Most businesses building AI communications today are still managing separate systems for every channel. That fragmentation slows teams down and limits what AI can actually do. WhatsApp calling on Telnyx removes that barrier. Your AI assistant works where your customers are, without rebuilding anything.”

— David Casem, CEO, Telnyx

Telnyx owns and operates its global network end-to-end, with local number coverage in 140+ countries — including regions where WhatsApp is the primary consumer communication layer, significantly expanding the addressable market for businesses deploying AI assistants at scale.

“In a lot of the world, WhatsApp is not an alternative channel. It is the channel. For AI assistants to operate at real scale, they need to be there, and they need carrier-grade infrastructure underneath them. That is what we have built.”

— David Casem, CEO, Telnyx

Pricing and Availability

WhatsApp Business Calling is available for Telnyx customers. Customers can enable the feature through the Telnyx Mission Control Portal or API. A WhatsApp Business Account linked to a Telnyx number is required.

ARKAY Announces Explosive Global Growth and Worldwide Expansion Opportunity to Open ARKAY Zero Proof Mocktail Bars, Powered by the Revolutionary W.A.R.M. Molecule™, With Eyes on Future NASDAQ Listing

MIAMI, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ArKay Beverages, creator of ARKAY ZERO PROOF, proudly announces exceptional international momentum, exponential sales growth, and the launch of a major global expansion program to develop ARKAY Zero Proof Mocktail Stores and ARKAY Bar Zero Proof locations around the world.

Founded in 2011, ARKAY is widely recognized as one of the first companies to introduce a new generation of alcohol-free spirits designed to replicate the burn, kick, and sophisticated drinking experience of traditional spirits — without alcohol. Long before the zero-proof movement became mainstream, ARKAY was already leading the category it helped create.

Today, ARKAY is not simply an alcohol substitute. It is a premium lifestyle brand created for people who want pleasure, excitement, freedom, and modern social experiences — without compromise.

ARKAY ZERO PROOF products contain 0.0% alcohol, are designed for consumers seeking a sophisticated alcohol-free alternative, and are suitable for alcohol-free lifestyles. Because ARKAY products do not contain alcohol, no liquor license is required to open or operate an ARKAY Zero Proof Mocktail Bar in many markets, subject to local business regulations.

Powered by the Revolutionary W.A.R.M. Molecule™

What made ARKAY revolutionary from the beginning was its ability to recreate the warming sensation, throat hit, and satisfying kick traditionally associated with alcoholic spirits.

Through years of innovation, the company developed its proprietary W.A.R.M. Molecule™ technology — an advanced sensory system that delivers the bold experience consumers seek while remaining completely alcohol-free.

The W.A.R.M. Molecule™ helped transform the zero-proof category from basic soft drinks into a premium adult beverage experience, giving consumers something entirely new: the ritual and pleasure of drinking, without the downsides of alcohol.

More Than a Beverage — A Feel-Good Lifestyle Experience

Consumers today want more than just a substitute. They are searching for beverages that align with wellness, balance, style, and enjoyment.

ARKAY was built with that vision in mind.

The brand offers pleasure in multiple ways:

  • The taste and ritual of a premium social drink
  • The signature ARKAY burn and kick sensation
  • A sophisticated alcohol-free lifestyle choice
  • The freedom to celebrate while staying in control
  • A modern beverage experience designed for today’s consumer
  • A Halal-friendly, alcohol-free option for global consumers

Many loyal customers say ARKAY helps them socialize, relax, and enjoy nightlife without sacrifice.

Exceptional Growth and Strong Customer Loyalty

ARKAY reports extraordinary growth across multiple markets, with repeat purchase behavior remaining exceptionally strong as consumers return again and again after discovering the brand.

This reflects a powerful shift in consumer habits:

  • Less interest in alcohol
  • Greater focus on wellness
  • Demand for premium alternatives
  • Rapid growth of zero-proof culture
  • Strong interest in functional and innovative beverages
  • Growing demand for Halal-friendly and alcohol-free social beverages

ARKAY states that its growth trajectory remains exponential as the worldwide alcohol-free market expands.

Global Expansion Opportunity: Open an ARKAY Zero Proof Mocktail Bar

https://arkayzeroproof.com/arkay-mocktail-bar/

To meet growing demand, ARKAY is now inviting entrepreneurs, hospitality professionals, investors, and business owners to become part of its next chapter by opening ARKAY-branded locations worldwide.

The company is actively seeking partners for:

  • ARKAY Zero Proof Mocktail Stores
  • ARKAY Bar Zero Proof lounges
  • Retail tasting concepts
  • Kiosks and mall units
  • Café and cocktail bar formats
  • Multi-unit territorial development opportunities

Unlike traditional bars serving alcohol, ARKAY Zero Proof Mocktail Bars are built around a 0.0% alcohol concept. This creates a major advantage for operators because, in many jurisdictions, the concept can be opened without the need for a liquor license, reducing barriers to entry and simplifying operations.

What Is an ARKAY Mocktail Store?

https://arkayzeroproof.com/arkay-mocktail-bar/

An ARKAY Mocktail Store is more than a store — it is an immersive destination where consumers can:

  • Discover the full range of ARKAY ZERO PROOF products
  • Learn how to make delicious and sophisticated mocktails
  • Experience the signature ARKAY burn and kick sensation
  • Enjoy tastings, demonstrations, and mixology classes
  • Purchase bottles, accessories, and ready-to-drink creations
  • Join a global movement focused on wellness, pleasure, and freedom

These locations are designed to attract curious consumers, health-conscious customers, nightlife lovers, travelers, families, and anyone seeking a premium alternative to alcohol.

Because ARKAY is alcohol-free, the concept may also appeal to markets and communities where alcohol consumption is restricted, avoided, or culturally sensitive.

Why This Opportunity Matters

The zero-proof beverage category is one of the fastest-growing segments in the world.

Opening an ARKAY location offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to enter a rapidly expanding market with a recognized pioneer brand and innovative product line.

Potential benefits include:

  • Strong international brand recognition
  • First-mover advantage in the zero-proof category
  • Fast-growing consumer demand
  • Unique products unlike traditional soft drinks
  • Flexible business models
  • No alcohol inventory
  • No liquor license required in many markets
  • Halal-friendly positioning
  • Training and support from the ARKAY team
  • High repeat customer potential
  • Opportunity to grow with a global brand early

Who We Are Looking For

ARKAY would like to hear from:

  • Existing bar or café owners
  • Beverage retailers
  • Franchise groups
  • Hospitality operators
  • Shopping mall developers
  • Investors seeking a modern concept
  • Entrepreneurs looking for a high-potential opportunity
  • Operators in alcohol-free, wellness, Halal, travel, and family-friendly markets

Whether you want to open one flagship location or develop multiple units in your country, ARKAY welcomes discussions.

A Vision for the Public Markets — With Eyes on Future NASDAQ Listing

As ARKAY continues to scale internationally, the company has announced its long-term intention to pursue a future listing on the NASDAQ, with an indicative target valuation of $1.5 billion, subject to market conditions, regulatory approvals, and execution milestones.

This next chapter reflects ARKAY’s ambition to become one of the most recognized names in the future of beverages.

Executive Statement

“Fifteen years ago, many believed alcohol-free spirits were impossible. Today, consumers worldwide are embracing the category we helped create. Tomorrow, they will discover ARKAY in cities across the world. ARKAY is more than a beverage — it is freedom, pleasure, innovation, and opportunity.

Because ARKAY contains no alcohol, it opens the door to a completely new kind of bar experience: one that is inclusive, Halal-friendly, family-friendly, wellness-focused, and accessible to entrepreneurs without the traditional burden of a liquor license.”

About ARKAY ZERO PROOF

ARKAY ZERO PROOF is a pioneering line of alcohol-free spirits created to deliver the taste, burn, and excitement of traditional spirits without alcohol. Powered by the proprietary W.A.R.M. Molecule™, ARKAY offers a growing portfolio of premium zero-proof beverages for modern consumers worldwide.

ARKAY products are 0.0% alcohol, Halal-friendly, and designed for consumers who want the experience of social drinking without consuming alcohol.

PU Prime Bridges the Gap Between Knowledge and Success with Launch of Interactive “PU Community” Platform

EBENE, Mauritius, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PU Prime, a global multi-licensed online brokerage, announced the launch of the PU Community, an all-in-one ecosystem designed to transform retail trading from a solitary, high-risk activity into a collaborative and guided professional journey. To celebrate the rollout, PU Prime is hosting a series of engagement initiatives throughout May and June, offering early-bird participants opportunities to earn exclusive rewards, branded merchandise, and trading vouchers as they begin their journey within the ecosystem.

In an era of information overload, most retail traders face a significant gap: not in access to data, but in the lack of structure, judgment, and guidance. The company's research indicates that a vast majority of retail traders struggle due to inconsistent mentorship and the absence of practical learning environments. The PU Community is built specifically to address these pain points by offering a transparent ecosystem that prioritizes risk management and disciplined growth over market hype.

The most common challenge I see for traders today isn’t a lack of information, it’s the absence of a clear, actionable path through the noise,” said Ahmed Yousre, Global Market Strategist at PU Prime. “With the launch of PU Community, we are moving beyond static education into a space of active, guided mentorship. I’m excited to be personally involved in this initiative, where I can engage directly with members and help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and disciplined market execution!

Commenting on the launch, Daniel Bruce, Managing Director, said, “PU Community is where trading meets human connection. We are moving beyond the traditional brokerage model of simply acquiring customers to actively develop them.” By combining human expertise with AI-driven efficiency, we aim to help users transition from reactive learners to confident, disciplined market participants, he added.

Some key highlights of the community:

Dedicated Guided Courses: Through a series of 17 Progressive lessons, traders transition from passive spectators to active participants, equipped with their own judgment to navigate volatile markets.
Direct Expert Access: Users gain seamless, real-time interaction with professionally certified analysts (CFA, CISI, and SCA level), allowing for direct feedback on trade ideas and market analysis.
AI-Assisted Intelligence: The ecosystem utilizes AI to provide summaries of top news for high-interest assets, ensuring traders stay informed without being overwhelmed.
Interactive Gamification: A dynamic leaderboard system allows users to progress from “New Trader” to “Market Legend,” earning recognition and rewards based on their contributions to the community.

Looking ahead, the launch of the PU Community represents a fundamental shift in the brokerage landscape. By recognizing that market success is hindered not by a lack of information, but by an overwhelming volume of data without the structure to filter it, PU Prime is pivoting from a traditional acquisition led model to one focused on long-term client development.

About PU Prime

Founded in 2015, PU Prime is a leading global fintech company and trusted CFD broker. Today, it offers regulated financial products across forex, commodities, indices, shares, and bonds. Operating in over 190 countries with more than 40 million app downloads, PU Prime provides innovative trading platforms and an integrated copy trading feature, empowering traders worldwide to achieve financial success with confidence.

Driving Elegance Together — LEPAS Global Partner Conference Successfully Concludes

WUHU, China, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — From April 26 to 28, 2026, LEPAS, the NEV brand under Chery Group, hosted its first Global Partner Conference in Wuhu under the theme “Drive Elegance Together.” The event gathered over 500 distributors, strategic partners, and industry representatives from nearly 20 countries and regions, marking a key step as LEPAS transitions from brand launch to the operational rollout of its global network.

Following its European debut at Milano Design Week and its NEV strategy unveiling at Auto China 2026, the conference translated the vision of “Elegance Moves the World” into concrete global action.

Strategy in Action: From Vision to Execution
LEPAS outlined its brand architecture, product portfolio, and global channel roadmap, with L4, L6, and L8—built on the Intelligent LEX Platform—set for phased global rollout, alongside localized market strategies and a replicable business model leveraging Chery Group’s supply chain and technology to ensure long-term partner profitability, as emphasized by CEO Zhai Xiaobing.

Strategic Signings: Expanding the Global Network

LEPAS signed partnership agreements across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America—including Spain, Italy, Greece, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait, Tunisia, South Africa, and Chile—accelerating its global expansion and large-scale market deployment.

Immersive Experience: Bringing Elegance to Life

Experiential zones demonstrated “Elegant Technology” in real-world scenarios, including automated parking and remote summon in the VPD area, while AiMOGA robots Mornine and Argos added a human-centered touch; test drives of the LEPAS L8, L6, and L4 further highlighted smooth handling, cabin quietness, and ADAS capabilities powered by the Intelligent LEX Platform.

The LEPAS Elegant Lifestyle House opened for the first time, offering hands-on activities such as leather crafting, fragrance blending, and coffee-making — extending the brand experience beyond the vehicle.

An evening Garden Gathering combined live music, art, and interactive installations, where technology and lifestyle naturally converged.

Ecosystem Synergy: Entering the Delivery Phase

From its debut at Milano Design Week to validation at Auto China 2026 and co-creation in Wuhu, LEPAS has rapidly advanced into a new phase of scaled global delivery, driven by technology and an ecosystem-led approach alongside its partners.

From “Automaker” to “Travel Lifestyle Service Provider”: JETOUR's “Travel+” Strategy Enters New Phase

BEIJING, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the product homogeneity in the auto market intensifies, building long-term brand competitiveness beyond vehicle manufacturing has emerged as a major industry-wide challenge. At Auto China 2026, JETOUR unveiled its “Travel+” strategy, delivering a distinctive solution: transitioning from product-centric thinking to positioning vehicles as connectors of life experiences. This shift empowers JETOUR to transcend conventional competition, evolving from carmaking to curating travel lifestyles.

Beyond Manufacturing: Production Differentiation and User-Centricity
As Ke Chuandeng, President of JETOUR International, noted: “From a tiny seed to a lush tree, what defines JETOUR is our ‘Travel+’ DNA, which transforms us beyond an automaker into a bridge linking users to the world.” The strategy is anchored in two core pillars: differentiation and user-centricity.

JETOUR integrates boxy design, off-road capability, intelligent comfort and travel-oriented lifestyle to meet users’ pursuit of freedom and exploration. Its user-centric philosophy covers far more than product development. By operating signature events and a complete benefits system, JETOUR maintains close user connections. It boasts over 50 million global fans, more than 2.2 million owners and 300+ owner clubs, acting as a professional travel lifestyle enabler that connects users, vehicles and the world via travel culture.

Technology: The Strategic Backbone
Solid technological strength underpins the implementation of the “Travel+” strategy. Dai Lihong, President of JETOUR Auto, stated: “Every JETOUR product goes through rigorous global testing in extreme environments, ensuring world-class quality.”

JETOUR has upgraded its hybrid technology to the sixth generation. Its core systems, including the C-DM hybrid system, XWD intelligent four-wheel drive system and GAIA Architecture, have been widely applied to SOUEAST, JETOUR T Series and G Series, covering urban mobility, light off-road and premium off-road scenarios and verified by global markets. At Auto China 2026, JETOUR exhibited SOUEAST S08 DM, T2 i-DM, G700, G700 Whistling Arrow and other models. Over 200 global media representatives participated in dynamic test drives and witnessed the public fording test of the G700 (Ark Edition) on site.

2.000+ Sales and Service Outlets: Accelerating Global Expansion 
Guided by the “In somewhere, For somewhere, Be somewhere” localization philosophy, JETOUR has expanded its business to 100 countries and regions with over 2,000 sales and service outlets.

On April 23rd, JETOUR held a dual-brand global dealer conference, gathering over 1,000 global partners to summarize achievements and plan future development. It also hosted the Annual Conference of the JETOUR International Media Alliance (JMA), communicating with 200+ global media representatives to explore brand communication paths for global expansion and intelligent and new energy transformation.

Cross-industry Collaboration: “Travel+” Ecosystem Gains Momentum
JETOUR has deepened cross-industry cooperation to enrich its “Travel+” ecosystem. It has partnered with global celebrities from various fields, including Brand Friend Sir Mo Farah, explorer Hazen Audel, racing legend Robby Gordon, and Cheetah Conservation Fund founder Dr. Laurie Marker. At Auto China 2026, brand ambassador Alan Walker and G Series art consultant Paula Scher joined JETOUR’s launch events, further enriching the cultural connotation of the “Travel+” strategy and turning it into a shareable global cultural symbol.

From a seed to a growing ecosystem, the path of “Travel+” is now clear. It centers on user needs, is powered by technology, and expands through an evolving ecosystem. It builds a full-scenario mobility system—more resilient, more scalable, and ready for long-term growth. What it represents is not just a brand strategy. It is a clear statement about the future mobility and a confident step toward it.

BitMEX Expands TradFi Perpetual Swaps with FX for 24/7 Crypto Trading

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX today announced the launch of six FX Perpetual Swap contracts, enabling traders to access global currency markets using cryptocurrency as collateral on a 24/7 basis.

The new offering includes EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CHF, and USD/CAD, providing exposure to some of the most traded currency pairs without relying on traditional brokers or fiat funding. The contracts remain open continuously, including weekends when conventional forex markets are closed.

The launch builds on BitMEX’s experience in crypto derivatives and marks a renewed expansion into forex-linked perpetual products, designed to meet evolving trader demand with a more focused and scalable offering.

“Forex is the largest and most liquid market globally, yet access still depends on fragmented and time-bound systems,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO at BitMEX. “With FX Perpetual Swaps, traders can access major currency pairs at any time using crypto as margin, without the operational friction of traditional brokerage models. This reflects a broader shift toward always-on, borderless trading.”

FX Perpetual Swaps allow traders to post crypto as margin, removing the need for fiat deposits, bank transfers, or broker onboarding. The contracts offer up to 100x leverage and operate with a 0% base interest rate, eliminating overnight swap fees commonly charged by traditional forex providers.

The selected pairs represent a significant share of global forex activity. EUR/USD alone accounts for roughly 23% of daily trading volume, while USD/JPY and GBP/USD are widely used to express views on interest rates, monetary policy, and global risk sentiment.

Unlike traditional forex markets, which close for approximately 48 hours over the weekend, BitMEX’s perpetual product offering enables continuous trading and real-time response to macroeconomic events. Pricing is derived from aggregated external data during market hours and transitions to internal order book activity during off-hours to maintain uninterrupted access.

BitMEX plans to expand its range of TradFi perpetual products based on user demand, building on its existing offerings across equities and commodities—including products such as WTI crude oil and silver (XAG). This broader expansion reflects BitMEX’s strategy to bridge crypto-native infrastructure with traditional financial markets through a unified derivatives platform.

More details about BitMEX’s FX Perpetual Swaps can be found on their blog.

About BitMEX

BitMEX is the OG crypto derivatives exchange, providing professional crypto traders with a platform that caters to their needs with low latency, deep crypto native and especially BTC liquidity and unmatched reliability.

Since its founding, no cryptocurrency has been lost through intrusion or hacking, allowing BitMEX users to trade with confidence that their funds are secure and that they have access to the products and tools required to be profitable.

GC Partners expands its payment capabilities through its DIFC entity to Deliver Settlements for Corporate Clients

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GC Partners has strengthened its operational capabilities in the UAE with its DIFC-based entity, GC Partners (DIFC) Limited, which is regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). This development marks a significant enhancement in the firm’s ability to support corporate clients with efficient international payment services and payment-related foreign exchange services, including local AED settlement for eligible payment flows.

This capability enables same-day settlements for qualifying payments, reduces banking charges and is supported by upgraded backend infrastructure designed to enhance reliability across every stage of the transaction.

By combining the company’s established global expertise with a fully established local settlement framework, corporate clients benefit from improved speed, reduced friction and greater operational efficiency when managing international cash flows from or within the UAE.

As Senior Executive Officer of the DIFC entity, Zoheb “Zane” Piranditta is responsible for leading GC Partners’ growth in this strategically important market, further strengthening the firm’s presence and capabilities across the region.

“Local settlement capability represents a major step forward in the way we support our corporate clients in the region. By processing payments locally, we can shorten settlement cycles, lower costs and deliver a more responsive and reliable service that aligns with the fast-moving needs of businesses today.” – Zoheb “Zane” Piranditta, SEO, GC Partners DIFC.

This enhancement is supported by GC Partners’ local banking partnerships and strengthened operational infrastructure within the DIFC. Clients will continue to benefit from the company’s rigorous compliance standards, transparent processes, and human-first service model, including direct access to their dedicated Account Manager for support throughout each transaction as required.

The advancement reinforces GC Partners’ long-standing commitment to the UAE market, building on the wider GC Partners group’s international experience and expanding service capabilities across Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

“As we continue to invest in our presence in the UAE, our focus remains unchanged: to provide efficient and secure support for every international transaction. The introduction of local settlement in the UAE enables us to deliver even greater value to the corporate clients we serve.” – Andrew Fundell, CEO, GC Partners

Breaking Barriers in Krugerrand Trading: ISA Gold Launches Next-Gen Krugerrand Platform

JOHANNESBURG, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As global uncertainty continues to shape financial markets, South African investors are increasingly turning to gold as a store of value, with Krugerrands at the centre of this trend. Known for their liquidity and global recognition, gold and silver Krugerrands continue to attract both long-term holders and active traders. In response to this growing demand, ISA Bullion Dubai has launched ISA Gold in South Africa, a dedicated platform designed to modernise Krugerrand trading by enabling clients to buy and sell their coins in real time through a more transparent and efficient system.

Recent market conditions have reinforced gold’s role in portfolios. With currency volatility and inflation concerns persisting, investors are seeking assets that can preserve purchasing power over time. In South Africa, this has translated into growing demand for physical coins, particularly Krugerrands, which offer accessibility and strong resale value.

“Gold demand remains resilient as investors seek stability and diversification in uncertain economic conditions,” said Shaokai Fan, Global Head of Central Banks at the World Gold Council.

Krugerrands continue to stand out for individual investors due to their flexibility. They can be bought, held, and sold relatively easily, making them suitable for both long-term holding and active trading.

However, despite this demand, the process of trading physical coins has not always kept pace with modern expectations. Pricing inconsistencies, delays, and limited transparency have often created friction for investors trying to enter or exit the market efficiently.

This evolving landscape is driving demand for more transparent and cost-efficient trading solutions. Platforms such as ISA Gold are setting a new benchmark with some of the most competitive pricing in the South African market, with no hidden fees. Unlike traditional dealers with wider, often unclear spreads, ISA Gold offers a simple and transparent model that allows investors to trade Krugerrands with confidence while maximising value on both buying and selling.

“In most cases, investors lose a significant premium when they sell,” said Aziz Moti, COO of ISA Gold. “We’ve reduced the buy-and-sell difference to just R200 to R300 per ounce, which means there’s effectively no real premium lost on exit, giving investors the flexibility to trade more actively.”

The shift toward digital accessibility is also playing a key role. As more investors become comfortable managing their finances online, expectations are rising for real-time pricing, simplified execution, and greater transparency. This is gradually reshaping how physical assets like Krugerrands are traded across South Africa.

Looking ahead, the outlook for gold remains closely tied to global economic conditions, interest rate cycles, and geopolitical developments. For South African investors, the enduring appeal of Krugerrands lies not only in market performance but also in their legacy as one of the world’s most trusted bullion coins.

As gold demand remains strong and trading habits continue to evolve, specialised platforms such as ISA Gold are becoming an integral part of South Africa’s changing Krugerrand investment landscape.
