NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ulike, the global leader of at-home IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser hair removal, is thrilled to announce the launch of Ulike X, the first professional IPL hair removal product in North America specifically designed for men. This innovative device promises long-lasting results, allowing men to break free from the tedious routine of daily shaving and embrace a lifestyle of freedom, health, and confidence.
Ulike X: Engineered for Men's Hair
For men who are fitness enthusiasts, hair can sometimes obscure the definition of smooth, clear muscle contours. The Ulike X is designed with this concern in mind. Removing body hair can enhance the appearance of muscles and improve athletic performance. Cyclists, for instance, can benefit from hair removal to reduce leg friction during long rides, while swimmers may experience reduced water resistance, contributing to better performance. In addition to improving performance, long-lasting hair removal also helps make the wearing of sports gear more comfortable and facilitates post-workout stretching, injury recovery, and rehabilitation treatments.
The Ulike X, utilizing IPL, alleviates common shaving issues like irritation and rapid regrowth, providing a comfortable alternative to costly laser treatments. IPL technology is a clinically approved hair removal method that uses a light spectrum to target melanin in hair follicles, effectively reducing hair growth. This non-invasive technique is gentle on the skin, making it suitable for various body areas, including the face, chest, abdomen, and back.
With over a decade of research and innovation in IPL hair removal, Ulike's engineers and leading dermatology research groups have consistently developed breakthrough solutions that deliver effective, safe, and convenient technology for healthy, hair-free skin. Professor M.R. Hamblin (Ph.D.) of Harvard Medical School, also Chief Scientific Advisor of Ulike Group, said, "I am to merge the most important findings in photomedicine research with Ulike's robust research and development capabilities to attain industry breakthroughs with advanced beauty products."
Specifically designed for managing coarse and thick hair, the Ulike X utilizes Dual Lights and Multi-Pulse Technology to achieve superior hair reduction results. With three customizable modes, it adapts to different skin types and body areas, enabling up to 94.42% hair reduction in just two weeks. This precision allows men to enjoy smooth skin without the hassle of razors, wax strips, or frequent salon visits.
Equipped with self-developed Ice Cooling Technology, the Ulike X maintains a cool 61.4°F, preventing burns and skin irritation for a more comfortable experience. The SkinSensor technology further enhances safety by detecting skin tones, adjusting power settings, and stopping flashes if an area is too dark for safe application. Additionally, a built-in 1mm UV filter protects the skin from harmful ultraviolet light, ensuring a healthy, hair-free experience without the risk of damage.
Ulike IPL devices are designed to offer professional-grade precision and safety in a compact, easy-to-use format. The Ulike X allows men to achieve smooth, hair-free skin in the comfort and privacy of their own homes, without the need for regular clinic visits. It provides long-lasting results that make everyday grooming more efficient and hassle-free.

Ulike Unveils Ulike X, Its First Men's Hair Removal Device in North America
APIA, Samoa, Aug. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HTX Research, the dedicated research arm of HTX, has released a new report titled The Industrialization of Intelligence and the Bubble Cycle: Token Economics, Capital Expenditure, and the Repricing of Risk-Reward Across U.S. AI Equities. Its central argument is that the AI industry and AI equities are not at the same point in their respective cycles — technological diffusion remains in its early stages while capital expenditure, valuations, and investor sentiment have moved well ahead of it.
The Variables Driving Equity Prices
Markets first priced the scarcity of GPUs, high-bandwidth memory, servers, and data-center capacity, and later the capability gains delivered by frontier models and coding agents. In 2026, the variables driving equity returns are shifting away from model parameter counts and the scale of capital expenditure toward token production costs, task-completion reliability, usage intensity, enterprise-workflow penetration, and the ability of enormous AI investments to generate durable free cash flow.
Behind that shift is a change in the magnitude of capital spending. J.P. Morgan Asset Management estimates that five U.S. hyperscalers will spend approximately $697 billion in 2026, with capital expenditure rising from roughly 33% of their operating cash flow in 2023 to an estimated 93%. Once capital expenditure consumes the overwhelming majority of operating cash flow, market attention necessarily moves from revenue growth to return on capital.
The Bubble Sits in the Financial Architecture, Not the Industry
Cloud revenue, coding-agent adoption, semiconductor sales, and enterprise demand are all growing in real terms, meaning AI technology itself is not a false narrative. Capital expenditure, external financing, data-center projects, private-model valuations, and a number of high-multiple second-tier equities, however, display increasingly speculative characteristics.
Headline price-to-earnings ratios also fail to represent true valuation levels: Alphabet's multiple is distorted by investment income, and Amazon's current accounting profit does not reflect a normalized valuation. What genuinely offers value is the closest alignment among normalized valuation, competitive moats, cash flow, and AI optionality.
At current prices and cycle positions, the report views Alphabet as offering the most compelling overall asymmetry, and applies the same framework across Microsoft, Meta, TSMC, NVIDIA, Amazon, Oracle, Micron, AMD, Arista, and Vertiv — distinguishing businesses with high fundamental win rates from those whose valuations already demand near-flawless execution.
AI Is Reshaping How Crypto Investors Allocate Capital
AI's role as a shared theme across global capital markets extends beyond U.S. equity pricing into the allocation behavior of crypto investors. As names including NVIDIA, Micron, TSMC, Broadcom, Meta, and Alphabet enter the everyday portfolios of crypto users alongside gold, crude oil, ETFs, and pre-IPO assets, a growing share of users now treat crypto and U.S. equities as different allocation directions within a single global risk-asset system.
HTX has been one of the earliest crypto exchanges to systematically pursue this direction. According to data disclosed in August 2026, cumulative trading volume in the platform's TradFi perpetuals section has exceeded $2.5 billion, with support for more than 170 TradFi-related assets spanning U.S. equities, ETFs, gold, silver, crude oil, AI semiconductors, memory, aerospace, and pre-IPO themes such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
What makes this model work is the platform's existing base of crypto users who have completed registration, verification, and funding. Holding stablecoins such as USDT, they can trade TradFi assets within the same account without opening a brokerage account or moving capital into a separate financial system — allocating toward gold, ETFs, or large-cap technology when risk appetite declines, and raising crypto and high-beta AI exposure when it recovers.
The Competitive Boundary for Trading Platforms Is Shifting
Competition among trading platforms will extend beyond spot markets, derivatives, liquidity, and listing speed toward a broader contest spanning multi-asset access, wealth management, and AI investment tools. Platforms with durable competitiveness will see their core capability evolve from execution alone toward global asset distribution.
This confirms a larger judgment in the report: AI is changing not only model capability and compute demand, but capital flows, allocation behavior, and how financial products are organized. HTX's early positioning in TradFi corresponds with HTX Research's sustained tracking of the AI theme and cross-market capital flows — identifying cycle positions, reading capital flows, and understanding how assets move in relation to one another sits at the core of research work, and also forms a source of first-mover advantage in business decisions. As AI drives global markets into a new phase of convergence, institutions capable of understanding both industrial cycles and capital flows are better positioned for the next round of competition.
