KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Feb. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Chinese New Year approaches, EP YAYING, a fashionable Chinese high-end clothing brand, announces a deeper expansion into Southeast Asia, using Eastern aesthetics as a shared language to celebrate the New Year alongside local Chinese communities. The brand entered Kuala Lumpur's premium retail space at Suria KLCC in 2019, building strong local recognition through physical retail and laying a solid foundation for long-term growth in the region.
As a Chinese high-end womenswear brand with a long history of 38 years, EP YAYING is guided by its enduring commitment to high-quality materials and exquisite craftsmanship. From Suzhou embroidery to silk traditions, the brand continues to weave intangible cultural heritage techniques into contemporary design. In this context, the deep cultural identity and connection felt by Southeast Asia's Chinese communities resonate naturally with EP YAYING's philosophy of expressing Eastern aesthetics through clothing.
To welcome the New Year, EP YAYING introduces its 2026 Chinese New Year limited collection themed on "Wisdom". Drawing inspiration from classical Chinese culture, the line blends the auspicious symbolism of China's National-level Intangible Cultural Heritage "Fish-Dragon Motif" with the graceful blessings of the "Peony Ruyi Pattern". Featuring rare cashmere, silk jacquard, and hand embroidery, these premium materials are thoughtfully selected and brought together through meticulous artisanal techniques, honoring the intelligence, poise, and quiet strength of today's women. Designed for a range of festive moments, the collection moves effortlessly from elegant looks for family reunions to refined ensembles for gatherings with friends, and statement evening pieces for holiday celebrations. Each design is created to support confident self-expression, allowing Eastern grace to unfold naturally across every setting.
This March, EP YAYING will take center stage at the closing show of Shanghai Fashion Week, officially launching the 2026 Spring Summer EP YAYING Fashion Festival. The presentation will also serve as a key moment to showcase its strength to international buyers and further advance the brand's global strategy. Looking ahead, the brand plans to deepen emotional connections with Southeast Asian consumers through localized experiences, innovative cross-industry collaborations, and personalized client services. In this light, the brand aims to create a shared space where cultural identity meets modern style, building a community grounded in both heritage and contemporary confidence.
As the New Year draws near, EP YAYING extends its warmest wishes for prosperity, harmony, and new beginnings. With fashion as the vessel and aesthetics as the sail, the brand looks forward to journeying together toward a future that feels both radiant and deeply human.

EP YAYING Grows Its Southeast Asia Presence Through Fashion Aesthetics to Celebrate This Chinese New Year
SINGAPORE, Feb. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Matrixdock, Asia's leading Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization platform under Matrixport Group, today announced the deployment of XAUm on Solana.
As Asia's largest tokenized gold project with physical redemption available across major Asian wealth centers, XAUm represents one troy ounce of 99.99% pure, LBMA-accredited physical gold per token, securely vaulted and independently audited.
The expansion brings institutional-grade tokenized gold to one of the industry's most scalable and high-performance blockchain networks, unlocking new use cases across trading, liquidity management, and decentralized finance. XAUm has been recognized by Falcon Finance's latest tokenized-gold industry report, which highlighted Matrixdock among the sector's leading platforms.
Solana significantly expands XAUm's accessibility due to its high throughput, low latency, and minimal transaction costs, making it well-suited for real-world asset deployment at scale. Its architecture supports near-instant settlement and high-frequency interactions, enabling gold to function not only as a store of value but also as a liquid on-chain reserve asset within DeFi applications.
Security remains foundational to XAUm's design. The Solana smart contracts supporting XAUm have undergone independent audits by Accretion and Sec3, reinforcing Matrixdock's commitment to institutional-grade risk management and on-chain security.
XAUm will launch natively within Solana's DeFi ecosystem, with initial liquidity on Raydium for decentralized trading and liquidity provisioning, and planned expansion into Solana-based lending markets. Pyth will serve as the primary price oracle. This architecture allows XAUm holders to use tokenized gold as collateral, access on-chain liquidity, and participate in DeFi strategies - while maintaining full physical backing and asset integrity.
This is not Matrixdock's first deployment on Solana. In late 2025, Matrixdock served as the tokenization technology provider for TER, the sovereign gold-backed token issued by Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) of the Kingdom of Bhutan, which is live on Solana. This deployment validates Matrixdock's technology and operational capabilities at a sovereign and national infrastructure level.
This dual role, supporting both institutional-grade products like XAUm and sovereign-level initiatives such as TER, underscores Matrixdock's position as a trusted infrastructure provider for real-world asset tokenization across the public and private sectors.
"With XAUm on Solana, we are extending gold beyond passive ownership into programmable financial infrastructure," said Eva Meng, Head of Matrixdock. "High-performance blockchains like Solana enable gold to move at internet speed while remaining fully backed by physical reserves - a critical step in modernizing how capital-efficient assets are issued, verified, and used."
"Solana was built to support real-world assets at scale," said Lu Yin, Head of APAC, Solana Foundation. "With the launch of XAUm, Matrixdock is bringing fully backed, institution-grade tokenized gold to Solana that can settle instantly, integrate seamlessly with DeFi, and meet the standards required by institutions."
Solana's growing institutional participation, deep liquidity venues, and active developer community align with Matrixdock's objective to position tokenized gold as a core reserve layer asset underpinning on-chain financial markets.
