SYDNEY, Nov. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Following KuCoin's recent investment in Australia—including the opening of its new Sydney CBD office and the appointment of James Pinch as Australian Managing Director—the global crypto platform further deepened its local engagement at the Australian Crypto Convention (ACC) on November 22, 2025. KuCoin CEO BC Wong and James Pinch joined a fireside chat moderated by Winston McLaren, Australian Head of Compliance, titled "Regulated, Connected, Converging: The Future of Digital and Traditional Finance." The session reaffirmed KuCoin's commitment to trust, localisation, and long-term investment in Australia's digital asset landscape.
The discussion explored Australia's transition from early crypto experimentation to integrating digital assets into mainstream finance. Structured around three pillars—Regulated, Connected, and Converging—the conversation outlined the foundations required for crypto to become a trusted, everyday asset class.
"Security and compliance are structural, not reactive," said BC Wong. "KuCoin has made significant investments in secure, transparent infrastructure, including the launch of our $2 Billion Trust Project earlier this year. Our strategy for Australia follows the same principle: regulation acts as a stabiliser for innovation, not a restriction."
Drawing on his extensive experience in traditional financial services, James Pinch added: "Clear and progressive regulation is essential for broad crypto adoption. While global regulatory frameworks remain fragmented, they are expected to consolidate and mature over the next 5–10 years. Regulators worldwide are becoming increasingly open-minded, making ongoing dialogue and collaboration critical."
Localisation was another key theme. "Being local" means hiring Australian talent, understanding domestic regulations, tailoring products, and contributing meaningfully to the local economy. KuCoin reiterated its confidence in the Australian team to adapt global products responsibly while prioritising consumer protection and education. These values—discipline, integrity, patience, and long-term commitment—align strongly with Australian expectations.
The session also featured KuCoin's new brand film with global brand ambassador Adam Scott. Debuting in Australia, the campaign highlights shared values of discipline, resilience, and long-term focus, further supported by KuCoin's role as Official Partner and exclusive crypto exchange partner of the 2025 BMW Australian PGA Championship.
Looking to the future, BC Wong noted that digital and traditional finance are no longer separate systems but "one ecosystem with two origins—now converging." As assets, payments, and trading continue to digitise, KuCoin aims to provide secure, transparent access to this integrated financial future.
This discussion builds on KuCoin's broader Australian expansion, including new roles across compliance, operations, cybersecurity, and product development. With a focus on regulatory alignment and cultural integration, KuCoin aims to support a more mature and trusted crypto ecosystem in Australia.

BEIJING, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LONGi has officially unveiled its LONGi ONE integrated solar-plus-storage strategy, marking a transition from traditional multi-vendor architectures to a unified system design.
A Shift from Fragmentation to Integration
As solar energy establishes itself as a core pillar of the global energy system, conventional "assembled" solutions are increasingly constrained by efficiency losses, complex commissioning, and unclear accountability. LONGi ONE addresses these challenges through full-stack, self-developed native integration, combining advanced BC solar technology with 5S storage technology to deliver a unified, high-performance "Solar Generator."
One System, One Platform, One Responsibility
LONGi ONE is built upon three core principles: One System, One Platform, and One Responsibility.
Its natively integrated architecture reduces system losses, enhances performance, and shortens deployment timelines. The AI-driven platform enables coordinated optimization across generation, storage, and consumption.
Equally important, the One Responsibility principle redefines accountability in solar-storage systems. Instead of managing multiple vendors, customers work with a single partner—LONGi—across the entire lifecycle. This eliminates fragmented interfaces, avoids responsibility gaps, and ensures faster issue resolution with clear ownership.
A Comprehensive Product Portfolio
LONGi ONE delivers tailored solutions for two key market segments: utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) applications.
For utility-scale projects, OneBank 2.0 offers a fully integrated AC/DC storage solution featuring advanced safety design. Its proprietary iCCS technology enables millisecond-scale fault detection and isolation, reducing system-level failure rates by 60% and cutting pre-commissioning time by over 30%.
OneMatrix 2.0 provides a flexible, modular approach for plant-level deployment, supporting multiple duration scenarios (2h/4h/8h) while reducing deployment time by 20-30% and lowering lifecycle costs.
For C&I users, Hi-MO One—paired with the EnergyOne platform—delivers 24.8% module efficiency and up to 90.3% system efficiency. With response times under 20 ms and AI-driven energy management, it enables intelligent operation and optimized returns.
Global Service Network Expansion
LONGi has also launched its "2830 Plan," which aims to establish 30 localized service centers across key global markets by 2028.
Supported by 13 GWh of delivery experience across over 120 countries, this network will provide end-to-end lifecycle services, ensuring rapid, localized support worldwide.
Toward the Solar Generator Era
From monocrystalline to BC technology, and from PV to storage, LONGi remains committed to translating innovation into customer value. With LONGi ONE, the company aims to redefine solar energy as a stable and intelligent "Solar Generator"—supporting the next phase of the global energy transition.
