HONG KONG, May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As summer approaches, personal cooling brand Aecooly introduces its 2026 cooling series. The launch features three distinct fans: the Air Mate powerful Type-C phone fan, the Click Mini portable neck fan, and the Air Gimbal portable handheld fan. The collection offers a seamless, lightweight, and comfortable experience designed to integrate effortlessly into diverse modern lifestyles.
"At the core of our focus is always the human experience," said Winnie Chen, Marketing Communications Manager at Aecooly. "Technology should be like a breeze—you feel the comfort, not the burden. That is the standard this series is built on."
Air Mate Powerful Type-C Phone Fan: Plug-and-Play, Featherlight Power
The Air Mate powerful type-C phone fan redefines portability. Its core is an ultra-light 38-gram fan head that delivers a powerful cooling breeze with four adjustable speed settings. It connects directly via USB-C to draw power from smartphones, tablets, or other devices, enabling true plug-and-play convenience without a built-in battery.
For extended, cord-free use, it can be paired with an optional official grip. This combination transforms it into a full-featured, high-performance handheld fan with substantially boosted battery life, ready for all-day excursions.
Click Mini Portable Neck Fan: Ultra-Light, Secure Fit
Traditional neck fans often struggle with bulk, bounce, and hair entanglement. The Click Mini portable neck fan confronts these issues head-on. Weighing only 95 grams and roughly the size of a powder compact, it provides a wearing experience that is virtually undetectable. Its internal turbine blade and tangle-resistant air duct deliver a stream of focused, quiet airflow while effectively keeping hair out.
It offers exceptional wearing flexibility: a high-strength magnetic clip secures it firmly to a collar for stable, close-fitting airflow, or use the included lanyard for comfortable neck wear. This adaptable dual-mode system allows it to seamlessly switch between activities, providing up to 10 hours of sustained cooling on its lowest setting.
Air Gimbal Portable Handheld Fan: Adjustable Freedom, Award-Winning Design
The Air Gimbal portable handheld fan has been honored with the prestigious 2026 Red Dot and iF Design Awards for its innovative design. Its clever structure features a 220° friction-locking pivot and includes a lanyard, enabling smooth transitions between handheld, neck-worn, and desktop modes to suit various scenarios.
Engineered for performance, it delivers a powerful airflow of up to 11 m/s. Despite its robust output, it weighs only 155 grams and is powered by a 3500mAh battery that provides up to 15 hours of cordless cooling. The Air Gimbal is the versatile, high-performance companion designed to integrate effortlessly into any scenario.
Availability
The Aecooly 2026 personal cooling series is now available for purchase through the brand's official website, Amazon, and other select retail channels.
Next in Line
Aecooly's pursuit of innovation never stops. A new-generation personal cooling device — designed to deliver true cold airflow in a portable form factor — will be unveiled soon, redefining on-the-go cooling for everyday users.

Over the last 12 months, the platform's initial product enabling global stablecoin liquidity has scaled from $0 to $3B in total processing volume (TPV) with institutional clients including Rail, Braza Bank, and more
NEW YORK, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Checker, a global network that enables financial institutions to plug into stablecoins and digital asset liquidity, cross-border payments, treasury, and credit via a single API, announced today that it has raised $8M in funding from Galaxy Ventures, Al Mada Ventures, and Framework Ventures. Additional participants include strategic financial institutions, such as Bitso and Airtm in Latin America, DFS Lab in Africa, and Onigiri Capital, SNZ Capital and Velocity in Asia. Additional investors include fintech operators from Stripe, Tala, Flutterwave, Mesh, ComplyAdvantage, Superstate, and more.
While stablecoins and tokenization promise faster, cheaper, and more reliable financial infrastructure, large-scale adoption will require solutions to liquidity fragmentation, operational complexity, and compliance hurdles. To access crypto and stablecoin markets, institutions are often stuck stitching together multiple providers as a makeshift solution, resulting in systems that are difficult to scale and maintain.
Enter Checker. Through the company's single API, financial institutions can launch and scale products spanning trading, payments, treasury, and credit across markets worldwide. The network delivers access to global liquidity, fiat on- and off-ramps, and payment rails, eliminating the need to integrate multiple providers.
"Checker's network has been instrumental to our business. Their plug-and-play infrastructure supercharges our trading and treasury plumbing," said Bhanu Kohli, former CEO and Cofounder of crossborder payments company Rail, which was recently acquired by Ripple.
"We have spent our careers dealing with the existing financial plumbing inside 24/7 global financial institutions. We've experienced how broken it is, and know how much better it can and should be" said Jack Chong, Cofounder of Checker. "This funding allows us to accelerate our mission to enable financial institutions from Brazil and Kenya, to Hong Kong and the United States, to transform how foreign exchange, payments, trading, and investment products are built. We are incredibly grateful for our customers and investors' trust."
Over the past year, Checker has onboarded institutional clients including Rail (acquired by Ripple), Braza Bank in Brazil, and Belo in Argentina, as it scaled to $3B in total processing volume, accounting for around 1% of annual global B2B stablecoin payments volume. Checker's stablecoin processing volume spans 30 customers, which are regulated financial institutions across the US, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The Checker network now covers 75 global currencies, powering foreign exchange, collections, payouts, virtual accounts, and trading products worldwide.
"Financial institutions globally are converging on stablecoins as core infrastructure, but fragmentation across liquidity, rails, and compliance slows adoption," said Will Nuelle, General Partner at Galaxy Ventures. "Checker is building the connective tissue that brings market participants together into a unified platform."
"The friction points in fiat on-ramps and off-ramps remain the hardest problem to solve. Checker addresses this with a novel orchestration layer that organizes fragmented stablecoin liquidity into a programmable, compliant network," said Omar Laalej, General Partner at Al Mada Ventures. "With their customer bases growing rapidly across the emerging markets, especially Africa, we didn't hesitate to back this exceptionally lean, top-tier founding team."
With this funding, Checker plans to deepen its global payments coverage to replace traditional correspondent banking dependencies. The team also intends to build out embedded borrowing and lending capabilities that improve capital efficiency and reduce pre-funding requirements for its customers, fully utilizing the just-in-time settlement capabilities of stablecoins. Finally, the firm intends to launch AI-powered agents for treasury management, back-office operations, and predictive analytics, enabling financial institutions to hyperscale their operating efficiencies.
