South Korea delays first STO exchange licences as Lucentblock-Nextrade fight heats up

South Korea delays first STO exchange licences as Lucentblock-Nextrade fight heats up

South Korea’s financial regulator delayed its decision on preliminary licences for new over-the-counter marketplaces for tokenised securities on Wednesday. The move came amid public disagreements over the approval process, according to reports and industry sources. South Korea has taken a crucial step toward integrating security token offerings—digital securities tracked on blockchain—into its regulated financial system, following years of pilot programs. Proponents argue this will open the door for small investors to buy fractions of assets like real estate, music copyrights, and art, instead of needing to purchase entire properties or full rights.

Groww Q3 FY26 results: Why the stock jumped even as profit fell 28%

Groww Q3 FY26 results: Why the stock jumped even as profit fell 28%

Shares of Billionbrains Garage Ventures, which runs the Groww investing and trading platform, rose nearly 4% on Wednesday after it reported a 28% fall in quarterly net profit, dragged down by a one-off gain booked a year earlier, while income jumped about 26%. https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/earnings/groww-q3-fy26-results-net-profit-falls-28-yoy-to-rs-547-crore-revenue-up-26-13772451.html The company is only a couple of months into life as a listed firm, and the market is still trying to price what “Groww” looks like outside a hot trading tape. What investors seem to be watching now is whether newer lines like commodities and lending can soften the punch from market swings.

Qiniu stock jumps after AI user count tops 180,000 as investors chase smaller tech names

Qiniu stock jumps after AI user count tops 180,000 as investors chase smaller tech names

Shares of Hong Kong-listed Qiniu jumped more than 7% in intraday trade on Tuesday and were last up 5.97% at HK$0.71, with turnover of HK$1.4 million, after the company disclosed its model-as-a-service, or MaaS, user count had topped 180,000, Zhituo Finance reported. Qiniu has been bundling open- and closed-source AI models including DeepSeek and MiniMax on its MaaS platform, betting it can shift revenue away from basic bandwidth and storage toward higher-value inference API calls, the report said. It pointed to a run of AI catalysts — including talk of a DeepSeek V4 release and a ByteDance AI tie-up around the Lunar New Year gala — and cited Guojin Securities as calling 2026 a turning point for AI applications, with Huajin Securities noting AI is already cutting costs in businesses such as content and marketing. The move matters because investors are trying to pin down who makes money when AI shifts from chips and servers into everyday apps. Early signposts such as user counts and API traffic are getting treated like leading indicators, even when they sit outside formal earnings reports.

Union Bank Q3 results: Profit hits ₹5,017 crore, shares jump 7% as bad loans fall

Shares of state-run Union Bank of India jumped nearly 7% Wednesday after the lender posted higher December-quarter profits alongside better asset quality. The stock was up about 6.9% at 177 rupees on the NSE in afternoon trading, according to Upstox data. https://upstox.com/news/market-news/earnings/union-bank-of-india-s-share-price-jumped-7-on-18-qo-q-jump-in-net-profit-in-q3-fy-26/article-187745/ These results are crucial as investors have increasingly turned to public-sector lenders for their cleaner balance sheets following an extended clean-up phase. Yet, the challenge has shifted to funding: deposit growth has trailed loan growth at many banks, tightening margins amid fierce competition for savings.
