PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform, today celebrates brand ambassador Adam Scott as he makes his 100th consecutive major championship appearance at the U.S. Open, on June 18, 2026, at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York. Scott becomes just the second player in golf history to reach this milestone.
Over more than two decades, Scott has qualified for and competed in every major championship on the calendar without interruption. It is a record built on sustained excellence, and one that very few players in the history of the sport have come close to matching.
KuCoin's partnership with Scott is rooted in shared values. In professional golf and in building a global financial platform, longevity depends on discipline, consistency, and earning trust over time. That principle has guided KuCoin since its founding and continues to shape how the company approaches its growth, its product, and its partnerships.
BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, commented:
"Reaching 100 consecutive major championships is not just a milestone — it is a testament to discipline, resilience, and the ability to perform at the highest level over time. These are the same principles that guide KuCoin as we continue to build a trusted and transparent digital asset ecosystem. Our partnership with Adam Scott reflects a shared belief that trust is not claimed — it is earned, over time, through performance."
That philosophy is perhaps best exemplified on the course. As Adam Scott reaches his 100th consecutive major championship appearance, his career stands as a testament to the very principles KuCoin continues to build upon — discipline, resilience, and trust developed over time.
Adam Scott said:
"Reaching 100 consecutive majors is something I'm incredibly proud of. It reflects years of commitment and the ability to stay focused through different stages of my career. I've always believed that success isn't defined by a single moment, but by showing up consistently and continuing to improve. That's why I value partnerships with organizations like KuCoin, where there is a shared focus on long-term thinking, building trust, and continuous progress."
As KuCoin continues to expand its regulatory footprint and invest in long-term infrastructure, its partnership with Adam Scott reflects a straightforward idea: trust is built over time, and the work that goes into earning it matters more than the moment it gets recognized.
Together, they represent a shared vision: to build trust over time, and to keep moving forward — with precision, discipline, and confidence in the future.

100 Consecutive Majors: From the Fairway to the Future of Finance, KuCoin and Adam Scott Mark a Milestone Defined by Consistency and Trust
As businesses race to solve how AI agents transact, the layer that governs their behaviour has been missing. Affinidi and CardInfoLink have now put it into live production.
SINGAPORE, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CardInfoLink has deployed Agent Gateway on Agenzo, its agentic commerce platform for travel and hospitality merchants, making it what is believed to be the first commercial deployment in Asia to operate AI agents under an independent trust and governance layer. Every AI agent connecting to CardInfoLink's merchants does so through a governed, auditable channel, on open standards, without disrupting the payment infrastructure beneath it. CardInfoLink operates live merchant-acquiring infrastructure across Asia, with more than 15 years in payment processing. Affinidi is an active contributor to the Linux Foundation and the standards bodies shaping the next wave of digital trust infrastructure.
With Agenzo, consumers can instruct AI agents to book a ride, a flight, or a hotel, confirming each purchase as they go. The Agent Gateway governs agent interactions in the background, creating a cryptographically verifiable record of all interactions and allowing only authorised agents to transact, with clear accountability established across all parties. All of this happens in the background, so the experience is unchanged for both the consumer and the merchant. For the business, the agent-readiness process is simplified for merchants by enabling faster implementation through simple configuration with no complex changes to existing systems. This allows them to open their services and products to AI agents through proper governance, and with trust handled at the system boundary rather than custom-built for every integration.
As AI agents begin to act inside commercial systems, the open question is not whether they can transact but who is accountable when they do. In its 2026 Future of Fraud Forecast, Experian named the inability to distinguish legitimate agents from malicious ones as the top fraud threat to businesses this year, warning that machine-to-machine transactions are being initiated without clear ownership of liability. Gartner expects more than 40% of agentic AI projects to be cancelled by the end of 2027, citing escalating costs, unclear value, and inadequate risk controls. In January 2026, Singapore's IMDA introduced the world's first governance framework for agentic AI, calling for bounded AI agent autonomy, human accountability, and technical controls as the recommended baseline. Agent Gateway, part of the Affinidi Trust Fabric Suite, is built to meet that bar.
"A shipping container reorganised global trade not because it was clever but because it was standardised. Agentic commerce needs the same: one trusted, standardised way for an AI agent to interact with a merchant. We run real infrastructure with real merchants and real consequences, so we could not add agents without it. The Agent Gateway gave us that, inside the systems we already use," said Hyman Zhu, Co-Founder of CardInfoLink.
"AI Governance and payment processing are distinct problems and challenges, and they need separate infrastructure. The Agent Gateway is the layer that governs how an AI agent connects to the systems it acts on, independent of how the payment is settled. That layer has been missing from production. With CardInfoLink, it is now running, and every business putting agents to work will need it," said Glenn Gore, CEO of Affinidi.
This deployment is the first live proof of an approach that the wider industry has been calling for, a layer that lets AI agents act inside real systems under governance built in from the start.
For Affinidi, agentic commerce for travel and hospitality is the first commercial use of a trust layer built to span industries, from payments to healthcare and beyond. Both companies see it as the start of an agent economy that is accountable by default.

About Agent Gateway
The Agent Gateway, part of the Affinidi Trust Fabric suite, is the trust and governance layer for agentic AI. Built on open standards to avoid vendor lock-in, it gives every AI agent a cryptographic identity, enforces policy at runtime, produces tamper-evident audit trails, and secures messaging across organisational and cloud boundaries. Agent Gateway is built for production workloads that demand multiple agentic flows within and across organisations, meeting the audit requirements of strict regulatory and governance models. Agent Gateway holds AI agents and human actors accountable, traceable, and auditable at scale, enabling businesses to extend their reach to more customers, more data, and more partners without sacrificing governance or control.
