‫Q9 Capital تطلق تطبيق «YIELD» لتداول العملات المشفرة المزدوجة

من خلال Yield ، يمكن تداول عملات مشفرة ذات عوائد مرتفعة وآجال استحقاق قصيرة تحقق عوائد مئوية سنوية ( APY ) بمعدّلات تصل إلى 200% لعملات البتكوين (BTC) ، والإيثريوم (ETH) ، والدولار الأمريكي الرقمي ( USDC )

هونغ كونغ، 19 يناير 2022 / PRNewswire / — أطلقت Q9 Capital ، وهي منصة لتداول العملات المشفرة للأفراد والشركات، عن إطلاق تطبيق Yield ، وهو تطبيق يمكّن العملاء من تحقيق عائدات وعلاوات ممتازة من تداول عملاتهم المشفرة.

يوفر Yield للعملاء طرقًا مبسطة للاستثمار في سوق العملات الرقمية وفقًا لمعاييرهم الخاصّة مقابل تحقيق علاوات.

يوفر الاستثمار في العملات المشفرة المزدوجة ( DCPs ) عقودًا متميّزة وقابلة للتعديل؛ بحيث يتمكّن المستثمرون من تحديد أسعار البيع أو الشراء، ومعدّلات العائد، وآجال الاستحقاق من البداية. وبطبيعة الحال، يستفيد المستثمرون من معرفة العائد والعلاوات المحدّدة مسبقًا، ويمكنهم تلقي عائداتهم بعملات البتكوين أو الدولار الأمريكي الرقمي حسب سعر السوق؛ سواء كان أعلى من سعر تنفيذ العملية أو أقل منه عند حلول أجل الاستحقاق. وعادة ما تكون معدّلات الفوائد السنوية المئوية ( APR ) بين 40% إلى 200% ويمكن سحبها عند الاستحقاق.

ونظرًا لاقتراب أسعار الفائدة على الودائع المصرفية التقليدية من الصفر؛ يبحث المستثمرون اليوم أكثر من أيّ وقت مضى عن سبل جني الأرباح والعائدات عن طريق الاستثمار بطرق أخرى في فئات الأصول البديلة مثل العملات المشفرة.

وتجدر الإشارة إلى أنّ منصة Q9 التي أطلقت في مطلع عام 2021، قد تمكّنت من تطوير أحد أفضل منصات تداول العملات المشفرة على مستوى العالم. وتُعدّ هذه الإضافة الجديدة للتداول في العملات المشفرة المزدوجة خطوة مهمّة لزيادة التوسّع والتكامل في مجموعة حلول المنصة المتكاملة Q9 ، والتي تشمل حلول Spot ، و Leveraged Trading ، و Custody ، و Earn .

وفي تعليقه على الخبر، قال جيمس كوين الشريك الإداري في Q9 : “يُعدّ Yield ركنًا أساسيًا في عملية تطوير منصة Q9 . ونحن سعداء بتوسيع حلولنا المبتكرة للاستثمار في العملات المشفرة؛ خاصّة وأنّ عام 2022 يبدو واعدًا، ويحمل بشائر تحقيق نمو قوي للمنصة في أعقاب إطلاقها”.

ويُقصد باستثمارات العملات المشفرة المزدوجة أيّ منتج استثماري غير أصلي محمي يحقق عائدات محسّنة ويضم عملتين مشفرتين مختلفتين.  وعند اشتراك العميل في هذا النوع من الاستثمارات، يمكنه تحديد أصل العملة المشفرة الأساسي، ومبلغ الاشتراك، والعائدات، وتاريخ التسليم. وتُحدّد العائدات إمّا بعملة الإيداع أو أيّ عملة بديلة، حسب ظروف السوق.

وتجدر الإشارة إلى أنّ تطبيق Q9 Yield قد أصبح متاحًا للمستثمرين الدوليين، بدون حد أدنى لفتح الحسابات. أمّا بالنسبة للمقيمين في هونغ كونغ، فليس متاحًا إلا للمستثمرين المعتمدين فقط.

عن منصة Q9 Capital

Q9 Capital هي منصة خدمات متكاملة لتداول العملات المشفرة للأفراد والشركات. وتمتلك المنصة منتجات مبتكرة وخدمات مخصّصة للعملاء توفر لهم حلولًا سهلة وآمنة لتداول عملاتهم المشفرة. وبفضل ما تمتلكه من حلول ممتازة ومبتكرة، وتحليلات أداء، وعروض استثمار بطرق منهجية؛ يمكن للمنصة تزويد المستثمرين بجميع الأدوات اللازمة لمضاعفة أصولهم المالية، وزيادة عوائدهم، وتوليد إيرادات من استثمارهم في العملات المشفرة.

Shanghai Electric Launches Chinese Language Training Program for Pakistan’s Personnel on Thar Block-1 Integrated Coal Mine and Power Project

SHANGHAI, Jan. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Electric has partnered with Confucius Institute at the University of Karachi (CIUK) to launch a new education resource for the Pakistani personnel of the Thar Block-1 Integrated Coal Mine and Power Project and surrounding communities, as part of a joint initiative to uplift the skill set of project employees and unlock better career prospects for the students from Pakistan’s southern Sindh province.

Shanghai Electric has launched a Chinese language training program for Pakistan's personnel on Thar Block-1 Integrated Coal Mine and Power Project.

The initiative offers free access to Chinese lessons for Pakistani workers of the projects and students from Islamkot and nearby towns and villages who will receive free textbooks and other language-learning resources provided by the teaching staff of CIUK. As of now, 40 workers and 60 students have been enrolled in the first class.

“As a leading energy solution provider, Shanghai Electric recognizes its role to educate and train the next generation of electrical engineers and technicians, as well as help more students to launch their careers in the energy industry. Our previous initiatives have seen the Thar Block-1 project arranging on-board training sessions to help local workers to improve their skills and inviting senior technicians to pass on their experience to newly hired employees,” said Meng Donghai, deputy manager of Shanghai Electric Power Generation Engineering Company.

“Closer economic ties between China and Pakistan have created more business opportunities for people from the two countries, and we hope the Chinese language training program can equip local workers and students with a meaningful skill as they advance towards their next career goals, as well as serve as a window for connecting the two cultures, enhancing mutual understanding and China-Pakistan friendship,” Meng added.

“The Chinese language training program launched by Shanghai Electric will be beneficial to the students in a remote area like Islamkot. It is a unique and valuable educational opportunity that will allow them to learn more about Chinese culture and find better jobs in the future,” said Muhammad Nasiruddin Khan, Pakistani director of the CIUK.

“I have gradually developed a great interest in learning Chinese while working with Chinese employees in Thar Block-1 Integrated Coal Mine and Power Project. I am very glad that Shanghai Electric can provide me with such an opportunity to learn Chinese, which will give me better employment prospects in the future, as there are a large number of China-Pakistani cooperation projects in Pakistan. Being able to speak Chinese is a standout skill,” said a student who joined the program.

In 2017, Pakistan officially joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and strengthened China-Pakistan cooperation has made Chinese an in-demand course for those who want to work for local Chinese companies. The rise of Chinese language training programs in the country has helped fill the communication gap between China and Pakistan, and also enabled more locals to land their dream jobs.

In recent years, Shanghai Electric has helped Pakistan build numerous energy infrastructure with industry-leading energy technologies through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The EPC contract for the Thar Block-1 Integrated Coal Mine and Power Project, which features two 660-megawatt coal-fired power plants and a coal mine with an annual output of 7.8 million tons, was signed in April 2019. As a priority CPEC project, the plants will optimize Pakistan’s energy mix and significantly increase the country’s energy security.

Q9 launches YIELD, Dual Cryptocurrency Products

High yielding, short maturity crypto products with up to 200% APY on BTC, ETH and USDC

HONG KONG, Jan. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Q9 Capital, a crypto investment platform for individuals and institutions, today announced the launch of YIELD allowing clients to monetise their market view on crypto and earn attractive premiums.

YIELD provides clients with an easy way to enter the market within their preferred parameters in exchange for a premium.

Often known as dual currency products (DCPs), these investments provide unique and customisable contracts where investors decide their preferred strike price, yield and maturity period at inception. Investors benefit from knowing their yield upfront with a pre-determined premium, and depending on whether the market price is above or below your strike price at maturity, they receive their proceeds in BTC or USDC. Yields typically range from 40% to 200% APR and can be rolled at maturity.

With interest rates on traditional bank deposits close to zero, investors are now increasingly looking for yield elsewhere in alternative asset classes like cryptocurrencies.

Launched in early 2021, Q9 has now developed one of the broadest product sets in crypto globally. The addition of DCIs further expands and complements Q9’s integrated offering which includes Spot and Leveraged Trading, Custody and Earn.

James Quinn, Managing Partner of Q9, elaborates, “YIELD is a major building block in the development of the Q9 platform. We are incredibly excited to expand our suite of innovative crypto products and 2022 is promising to be a strong year of growth for the platform on the back of this launch”.

DCIs are a non-principal protected structured product with an enhanced yield involving two different cryptocurrencies. Upon subscription, you select the underlying crypto asset, subscription amount, yield and delivery date. Your return will be denominated in the deposit currency or alternate currency, depending on market conditions.

Q9 YIELD is available to international investors and there is no minimum commitment for account opening. For residents of Hong Kong these products are only available for accredited investors.
