Asuene APAC and Pacific International Lines finalise MoU to Drive Global Decarbonization

 

Asuene APAC Pte Ltd, the Singapore-based subsidiary of Asuene Inc. has finalised a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Singapore’s Pacific International Lines Ltd (PIL), Southeast Asia’s largest carrier with extensive networks in Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin America and Oceania. Currently, PIL is an adopter of 'ASUENE,' a cloud-based platform for measuring, reducing, and reporting GHG emissions, across its approximately 60 offices worldwide.

Under the MoU signed during Singapore Maritime Week on 25 March, the two companies aim to expand the initiative to include PIL’s broader supply chain, accelerating decarbonization on a global scale.

Background of the MoU

As climate action becomes an increasingly urgent global priority, the maritime industry—responsible for approximately 3% of global CO2 emissions—faces mounting pressure to decarbonize. In response, PIL is advancing its transformation with a dual focus on decarbonization and digital innovation. As the largest shipping company from Southeast Asia, PIL operates a fleet of approximately 100 container vessels and manages a global network spanning over 500 locations in 90 countries. In addition to its core shipping operations, PIL is strengthening its commitment to sustainability by working to reduce environmental impact across its entire supply chain.

To support this effort, PIL has chosen to implement “ASUENE,” a cloud-based platform for measuring, reducing, and reporting CO2 emissions. The platform’s intuitive user interface, AI-powered data entry via OCR, and ability to visualize emissions across complex supply chains were key factors in the decision. This solution empowers PIL’s sustainability officers around the world to efficiently collect, manage, and analyze emissions data.

Given the complexity of the maritime industry—which encompasses a diverse range of stakeholders including ports, warehouse operators, and inland logistics providers—PIL is prioritizing the development of a robust system for centralized data management and effective emissions reduction.

Details of the MoU

Under this MoU, PIL will leverage Asuene’s expertise in GHG measurement, reporting, and verification to enhance the sustainability of its maritime transportation value chain. This initiative will begin with PIL’s own suppliers and service providers, and will include capacity building, sharing of best practices and affordable access to Asuene’s GHG measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) solution.

About Pacific International Lines Ltd (PIL)

Pacific International Lines (PIL) is among the top 12 container shipping lines in the world. Established in Singapore in 1967, PIL is the largest home-grown carrier in Southeast Asia.

PIL serves customers in over 500 locations, with a focus on Asia, China, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, Oceania and the Pacific Islands. Operating a fleet of around 100 container vessels, provide shipping services and solutions to customers in more than 90 countries worldwide.

PIL provides shipping services across a variety of products, including dry, refrigerated, breakbulk or special cargo. PIL harnesses our network of agencies and intermodal services, to bring value to customers with end-to-end transportation solutions.

Crypto News! $BLUM Will Launch Soon with Snapshot and Blum Airdrop Details Amid Market Uncertainty

Blum reveals $BLUM token snapshot and airdrop criteria ahead of June 7, 2025, launch. Amid founder scandal and falling volume, can this Telegram DEX regain momentum?

After more than a year of development, Blum, the Telegram-based mini app that once boasted 42 million monthly users, has finally revealed critical details about its upcoming airdrop and token launch.

The team confirmed that the long-awaited snapshot to determine Blum airdrop eligibility will occur on June 7, 2025, at 00:00 UTC, marking a pivotal moment in the project’s evolution from a "tap-to-earn" gimmick to a more utility-focused decentralized exchange (DEX) on the TON ecosystem.

Snapshot and Airdrop Criteria: What Users Need to Know

The June 7 snapshot will lock in user balances and platform activity, forming the basis for $BLUM airdrop allocations. To qualify, users must meet at least one of the following three criteria:

1. Hold over 100,000 Blum Points (BP)

2. Earn 750 or more Meme Points (MP) or provide proof of meaningful engagement

3. Refer at least two new users and pass a Sybil check to prevent fraud

These conditions have sparked debate within the community. Some long-time users who consistently engaged with the app but failed to meet technical thresholds have voiced frustration.

For example, one user shared on X that they were disqualified despite maintaining a 67-day login streak.

Others have criticized the Meme Points requirement as particularly unfair to early supporters.

In response, the Blum team has reiterated the importance of anti-Sybil mechanisms to ensure fair distribution and avoid manipulation. These measures include:

1. Bot and script detection

2. Behavior-based activity screening

3. Detection of multi-account setups

4. Cross-referencing known Sybil wallets

The Blum Airdrop Checker is now live, giving users a final chance to validate their eligibility before the June 7 snapshot.

Tokenomics and Trading Potential: What We Know So Far

Although the snapshot date and eligibility criteria are clear, Blum has yet to release full tokenomics, including details like the circulating supply, vesting periods, or ecosystem incentives. What is known:

1. Maximum supply: 100 billion $BLUM tokens

2. Pre-market price: Currently around $0.0015, down 90% from its early 2025 high

3. Current trading volume: Oscillating between $0.0014 and $0.0020, showing mild activity ahead of the airdrop

Blum’s trading volume has declined sharply, dropping from over $700,000 daily in February to just $6,000 in June, according to Dune Analytics.

This stagnation raises concerns about the project's ability to attract meaningful liquidity and trader interest in the DEX space, where competition is already fierce.

A Rocky Road: Leadership Scandal and Declining Metrics

The announcement of the airdrop comes amid turbulence for the Blum team. In mid-May, co-founder Vladimir Smerkis was arrested on fraud-related charges, casting a shadow over the project’s credibility. In a public statement, the team acknowledged the challenge:

“Despite recent challenges following Vladimir Smerkis’ departure, we remain incredibly confident in Blum’s proposition and ability to deliver outstanding value and returns.”

Community trust has undeniably taken a hit. Rebuilding this confidence will likely depend on how smoothly the token launch proceeds and whether the team follows through on promised exchange listings and technical milestones.

Blum Listing Expectations and Price Forecast

While no official listing date has been confirmed, analysts tracking the project suggest a Token Generation Event (TGE) and exchange debut between June 24–28, 2025. The project's Telegram-centric approach, combined with its TON ecosystem integration, suggests that both DEX and CEX listings are likely.

If listed on these major platforms, $BLUM could open trading between $0.050 and $0.50, depending on investor sentiment and market dynamics at launch.

In a bullish scenario with high engagement and effective marketing, some optimistic analysts suggest $BLUM could climb as high as $10 later in the year, though this should be treated as speculative.

In the short term, if the price holds near $0.0015 and excitement around the airdrop continues, it could rally to between $0.0025–$0.0030 post-snapshot.

Conclusion: The Final Countdown to June 7

With the snapshot deadline fast approaching, users have only a limited window to boost their engagement, refer new users, or increase their point totals to secure eligibility for the $BLUM airdrop.

While the long-term viability of Blum remains in question due to leadership challenges and dwindling trading volume, the upcoming token launch presents a major inflection point.

What happens next, including tokenomics clarity, exchange listings, and user response, will determine whether Blum can recapture some of the hype that once made it a breakout star on Telegram.

Key Dates:

1. Snapshot: June 7, 2025 (00:00 UTC)

2. Estimated Listing: June 24–28, 2025

3. Current Price Range: $0.0014–$0.0020

4. Potential Launch Price: $0.050–$0.50 (speculative)

For now, all eyes are on the snapshot and airdrop, but the real test will come after $BLUM begins trading.

ACR Reaffirms Commitment to Energy Security and Sustainable Growth

 

Alsons Consolidated Resources, Inc. (ACR) reaffirmed its commitment to delivering safe, reliable, and affordable energy to Mindanao and beyond during its Annual Stockholders’ Meeting held on May 29.

In his message, Chairman Nicasio I. Alcantara emphasized the company’s commitment to investing in infrastructure that support national development and address the country’s growing power demand.

“Looking ahead, we recognize the country’s growing need for reliable, sustainable energy. We intend to meet this by investing in renewables while pursuing technologies that allow for stable and economic generation.”

Advancing Energy Security Through a Balanced Portfolio

Amid rising power demand and the increasing call for sustainability, ACR believes that a balanced portfolio is the most responsible path forward — one that secures the grid today while transitioning toward cleaner sources.

“This growing portfolio of conventional and renewable assets—now totaling 428 MW—lets us meet current needs while preparing for a cleaner and more resilient energy future,” Alcantara said.

The company’s current power assets include the 210-megawatt Sarangani Energy Corporation, a coal plant that uses circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology to provide dependable baseload power. Supporting grid stability are two diesel facilities — the 100 MW Western Mindanao Power Corporation in Zamboanga and the 103 MW Mapalad Power Corporation in Iligan — both delivering ancillary services.

ACR is also nearing the completion of the Bohol In-Island Diesel Power Station in Ubay, designed to provide emergency and backup power during outages or natural disasters.

In 2024, ACR marked a significant milestone with the completion of its first renewable energy project: the 14.5MW Siguil Hydro Power Plant in Maasim, Sarangani. Now operational as a must-run unit in the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market, the plant reflects the company’s growing focus on clean energy.

“Several other renewable projects are in development, including the hydro facilities in Bago, Negros Occidental, and Siayan, Zamboanga del Norte and our solar projects in General Santos and Sarangani Province,” shared Alcantara.

With a pipeline of hydro and solar projects underway across Mindanao and the Visayas, ACR continues to invest in new technologies and partnerships that support the country’s renewable energy goals.

Powering with Care

In addition to its energy projects, ACR remains committed to uplifting communities and protecting the environment.

“Our commitment extends beyond power generation.  For it to be sustainable, growth must go hand in hand with care for people and the planet,” said Alcantara.

Last year, over 300 high school and college students in Sarangani, Zamboanga, and Iligan received educational support through the company’s scholarship programs. ACR is also expanding its work in Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD), with a focus on strengthening the literacy and numeracy skills of young children in its partner communities.

Environmental stewardship remains a core priority for the company. Under its Watershed Enhancement Program (WEP), ACR planted more than 60,000 trees last year — with a high survival rate of 96% — and offered training to local farmers on sustainable coffee farming practices, combining reforestation with livelihood development. Last year, 17 IP farmers under ACR's WEP harvested more than 750 kilograms of coffee cherries. These have since been roasted and sold as quality-graded coffee, creating new income opportunities for the farmers.

With a clear strategy and strong community partnerships, ACR remains committed to shaping an energy-secure and inclusive future for the regions it serves.

ACR reported consolidated revenues of ₱12.5 billion in 2024, slightly up from ₱12.4 billion in 2023. Net income rose to ₱2.5 billion from ₱2.3 billion the previous year, reflecting steady financial growth and the success of ACR’s strategic initiatives.

Spain Named Top TEFL Destination for 2025; Leading Providers Announced!

  

May 30, 2025 — Spain has been officially recognized as the premier destination for Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) in 2025, drawing aspiring educators from around the globe with its lively culture, high demand for English teachers, and competitive job market. As the TEFL industry continues to expand, three course providers have distinguished themselves for their outstanding training, support, and student satisfaction.

Spain: The TEFL Hotspot

Spain’s appeal as a TEFL destination is unmatched. Its robust language school network, government-backed English initiatives, and cosmopolitan cities like Madrid and Barcelona offer a wealth of opportunities for new and experienced teachers. The country’s moderate English proficiency and ongoing demand for native speakers ensure a steady flow of job openings, making Spain the top choice for TEFL professionals in 2025.

The Top Three TEFL Course Providers for 2025

1. The TEFL Institute

Website: https://teflinstitute.com

With an exceptional student review rating of 4.96 out of 5 from 2,897 reviews, The TEFL Institute stands as the industry leader. The Institute is internationally recognized and fully accredited by top organizations such as DEAC, Ofqual, and Highfield Qualifications. Notably, it is the only TEFL provider approved by GAISCE, the President’s Award. Students benefit from a flexible curriculum, 24/7 study access on any device, a dedicated personal tutor, and lifetime job hunting support. The TEFL Institute’s comprehensive courses and global recognition make it a preferred choice for those aiming to teach abroad or online.

2. Maximo Nivel

Website: https://maximonivel.com

Maximo Nivel earns its place among the top providers with a stellar 4.93 out of 5 rating from 667 reviews. Known for its rigorous 150-hour online TEFL certification, Maximo Nivel offers live teaching practice, extensive tutor support, and a 6-hour practicum with real language learners. The organization has a strong presence in Latin America, with institutes in Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Peru, and provides lifetime job search support and job placement guarantees. Students consistently praise the hands-on training, supportive staff, and immersive learning environments.

3. Premier TEFL

Website: https://premiertefl.com

Premier TEFL matches Maximo Nivel’s student rating at 4.93 out of 5, based on 1,570 reviews. The provider is known for its accredited, flexible, and affordable online TEFL courses, offering a wide range of specialist certifications. Premier TEFL’s courses are accredited by DEAC, Highfield Qualifications, and Ofqual, ensuring global recognition. Alumni commend the practical content, engaging methodology, and responsive support team, making Premier TEFL a trusted gateway to international teaching opportunities.

Why These Providers Stand Out

The TEFL Institute, Maximo Nivel, and Premier TEFL share a commitment to academic excellence, robust student support, and global employability. Their high student satisfaction ratings reflect well-structured courses, expert instruction, and dedicated career services. These providers equip graduates with the skills, confidence, and credentials needed to thrive in Spain and other top TEFL destinations worldwide.

XDC Network Price Prediction and Market Outlook 2025–2030

Explore XDC Network's price prediction for 2025–2030, market outlook, key use cases, and how its enterprise-grade blockchain is reshaping global trade finance. Plus, don’t miss details on XDC airdrops and staking rewards that Bitrue’s held.

As blockchain technology continues to evolve and mature, a new class of enterprise-grade solutions is emerging to serve highly specialized sectors.

Among these, the XDC Network has carved out a notable niche in trade finance, offering a hybrid blockchain infrastructure designed to facilitate secure, transparent, and rapid global transactions.

With its native token, XDC, showing promising signs of stability and growth, the market is watching closely to see how this project performs in the coming years.

In this article will also be explained about the XDC airdrop. So, do not miss it, read until the end of the article.

What is XDC Network?

The XDC Network, also known as XinFin Digital Contract, is a Layer 1 hybrid blockchain designed specifically for enterprise and institutional use.

Built to support smart contracts, high throughput (2,000 TPS), low transaction latency (2 seconds), and compliance-oriented architecture (KYC-required Masternodes), the XDC Network serves as a secure and scalable platform optimized for international trade and finance.

The project’s value proposition lies in decentralizing and digitizing trade finance processes—a historically slow and paperwork-heavy industry, through smart contracts and tokenization.

XDC also supports real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, document authentication, and supply chain management solutions, attracting partnerships with key players like IFTA, SBI Holdings, Tradeteq, and Securitize.

XDC Network Price Prediction for 2025

According to expert technical analysis and historical trends, XDC is forecasted to see modest but steady growth throughout 2025, with the potential for breakout highs under bullish scenarios.

Mid-Year Outlook: Despite a relatively flat projection for most months (with average prices around $0.0818), industry analysts expect the yearly average to hit $0.102, suggesting a second-half recovery and potential highs of $0.175, just shy of the all-time high.

Why the Optimism?

The XDC team is actively promoting the project at global blockchain conferences, and its growing engagement on social media (124,000+ followers) indicates increasing community traction.

Additionally, the project is uniquely positioned to benefit from geopolitical trade disruptions and the growth of RWA tokenization, both of which are hot topics in 2025.

Looking Ahead: XDC Price Predictions 2026 to 2030

As Donald Trump's trade policies create both turbulence and transformation in the global financial ecosystem, XDC’s blockchain-based compliance and trade finance tools may become more crucial than ever.

If the project capitalizes on these trends, a breakout to $0.84 by 2030 is conceivable, representing a 20x gain from current levels.

Key Use Cases and Advantages of XDC Network

1. Smart Contracts for Trade Finance: Automates settlements, reduces fraud, and enhances trust among global trading partners.

2. RWA Tokenization: Converts physical assets into blockchain-based tokens for easier tracking, auditing, and trading.

3. Layer 2 Support: Developers can create private or semi-private dApps tailored for regulatory-heavy sectors.

4. High Performance: 2-second transaction finality and low fees enable real-time commerce.

5. Delegated Proof-of-Stake (XDPoS): Ensures eco-friendliness, scalability, and decentralization through staking and validator elections.

Bitget and Cryptita Plays Inspire Next Generation with Young Learners' Encyclopedia

  

Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has announced its collaboration with Cryptita Plays on the Young Learners' Encyclopedia, an illustrated book designed to introduce blockchain and crypto concepts to youths through engaging stories and visuals.

The collaboration aligns perfectly with Bitget’s Blockchain4Youth and Blockchain4Her, which aim to make blockchain education accessible to young people and underrepresented communities worldwide. The encyclopedia serves as a new channel to simplify complex topics and spark early curiosity in crypto in the next generation.

Developed by Cryptita Plays, the Young Learners' Encyclopedia will break down key Web3 topics such as decentralization and NFTs in a manner that is both fun and digestible for young minds. The project is designed not only for children but also for educators looking to integrate future-facing content into their classrooms. As part of its outreach, the book will be distributed in underserved regions, starting with schools and community centers in the Philippines, where access to blockchain education remains limited.

Bitget’s involvement reflects a broader strategy to encourage learning and innovation at the grassroots level. The encyclopedia will offer a hands-on, creative approach to education that supports early awareness and long-term participation in the digital economy.

“This book is more than just a creative educational tool. It is a bridge that connects the next generation to the world of Web3 through stories, illustrations, and imagination,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “It speaks to the heart of what Blockchain4Youth and Blockchain4Her stands for — empowering the youth, and elevating the voices of the underrepresented who are driving real change in this space. The future of Web3 belongs to them, and it begins here.”

Further details on the distribution of the Young Learners' Encyclopedia will be announced in due course, with a target launch by the end of 2025. Initial distribution will begin in the Philippines, with plans for global rollout to follow.
