LF Labs Is Turning Crypto Into Real-World Payments
LF Labs is building a unified Web3 ecosystem with tools like the LF Wallet and blockchain-powered PoS machines, while accelerating early-stage crypto startups through funding and liquidity support.
The Real-World Utility Crypto Has Been Waiting For As the crypto industry matures, projects that focus solely on hype or niche utility are giving way to those offering real-world, end-to-end value. One such emerging force is LF Labs, a multi-pronged Web3 infrastructure builder that is rapidly gaining traction.
Rather than confining itself to a single function or product, LF Labs is constructing a full-stack crypto ecosystem aimed at solving the fragmentation in blockchain adoption. Its offerings span across the entire value chain—from early-stage project acceleration to merchant-ready crypto payment tools—bringing Web3 closer to everyday users and businesses.
More Than Funding: Building Sustainable Projects At the heart of LF Labs is the LF Accelerator, a launchpad initiative that goes beyond passive VC-style investment. The accelerator program provides early-stage crypto startups with not just funding, but access to robust market-making services that ensure liquidity and sustained trading volume—two essential factors for any token project's survival.

With an emphasis on building sustainable token economies, LF Labs aims to set a higher bar for what early-stage support should look like in Web3.
Tools That Power Everyday Crypto Use As adoption expands, user-friendly crypto tools are becoming increasingly critical. Enter the LF Wallet - a soon-to-launch, non-custodial wallet designed for mainstream usage. This non-custodial wallet is designed to be the user's all-in-one crypto control center. It will offer features like staking, swapping, and most notably, integration with Point-of-Sale (PoS) machines.
The wallet will also support LF Coin-based post payment options, enabling users to make real-world purchases and settle payments later using LF Coin. This flexible model is a bold step toward bridging crypto with traditional consumer behavior- buy now, pay later, but decentralized.

Designed for speed, security, and broad token compatibility (including LF Coin), each terminal syncs directly with the LF Wallet, allowing users to pay instantly and merchants to receive instant confirmations without worrying about volatility or complex conversions.
Early access for the devices is now open via pos.lflabs.fund, with limited units available.
A Complete Ecosystem, Not Just a Product What distinguishes LF Labs is its holistic approach. By combining investment, liquidity services, user wallets, and merchant hardware, it offers a full-stack infrastructure solution for crypto's next growth phase.
While many projects focus on one layer of the stack, LF Labs connects them all—helping tokens launch, scale, and become usable in the real world. The result is a powerful, unified ecosystem where both users and businesses can participate confidently.
Positioned for the Future of Web3 As the Web3 economy continues to evolve, LF Labs is emerging as a frontrunner in real-world crypto infrastructure. With its wallet, PoS devices, and accelerator program all advancing rapidly, it is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between speculation and utility.
For early adopters, LF Labs presents a rare opportunity: to be part of a movement that's not just talking about crypto in the real world—but actively building it.

Mobile exports show robust growth in FY26, reach $5.5 billion in April-May: Minister
New Delhi: Union Railways and Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Wednesday said mobile exports from India witnessed a flying start to this fiscal, with the month of May clocking more than $3.09 billion in mobile exports from the country. In the April-May period this fiscal, the country saw $5.5 billion worth mobile exports. The government schemes like production-linked incentive (PLI) initiative have given a much-needed thrust to domestic manufacturing in recent years, with global tech giants like Apple and Samsung doubling down on ramping up their supply chains in the country. According to Vaishnaw, exports of mobile phones from India in May increased by over 74 per cent over the same month last year. 'FY26 off to a strong start: $3 billion smartphone exports in May alone (+74 per cent YoY); $5.5 billion exports in April-May; and $8.2 billion electronics exports in April-May (+47 per cent YoY),' the Union Minister posted on X social media platform. This stupendous growth has been achieved because India's competitive edge makes it a natural choice for tech giants like Apple and the US-based company has assured the government of its commitment to manufacture its products and boost the 'Make in India' initiative. Electronics exports from India has moved up from fifth position to third within one fiscal, owing to the transformative PLI scheme, according to Vaishnaw. Electronics exports clocked an all-time high of Rs 3.27 lakh crore in FY25, with mobile exports standing at Rs 2 lakh crore. 'Electronics exports moves up from fifth position to third within one fiscal. Three years in a row, electronics is India's fastest growing export amongst India's top 10,' Vaishnaw informed recently. He further stated that lakhs of new jobs have been created in the electronics ecosystem, especially for women, along with 'skilling, increasing DVA and Indian MSMEs joining global supply chains'. The electronics manufacturing industry has seen a five times growth in the last 10 years, surpassing Rs 11 lakh crore while the entire ecosystem has created 25 lakh jobs. In the last decade, electronics exports have risen six times to surpass Rs 3.25 lakh crore. The country has shown big companies like Apple the value of "Make in India'. The country has become a key hub for Apple's global supply chain in recent years.

British Columbia's $183 Billion Fund Inks 45 Deals in Six Months
(Bloomberg) -- British Columbia Investment Management Corp. signed 45 deals during the past six months as the pension fund manager exploits the uncertainty in the market. 'All our asset classes are below the target allocations and have room to deploy,' Ramy Rayes, executive vice president of investment strategy and risk, said in an interview. 'While others might be stalling, we see good opportunities and good value too.' The money manager decided to 'start moving within the capital stack' across most of its asset classes, investing in infrastructure debt, convertible preferred shares within private equity and asset-backed lending. 'Right now being just in the equity sleeve or just purely in the debt sleeve may not get you the perfect risk-adjusted return,' Rayes said. Instead, BCI is investing in hybrid assets to maximize return and create downside protection, he said. Since the beginning of 2025, BCI has done 13 deals, while its real estate subsidiary QuadReal Property Group signed 32 pacts, Rayes said. Those investments include a take-private of Luxembourg-based BBGI Global Infrastructure SA and buying Maple Leaf Self Storage, a chain based in Western Canada. The fund's infrastructure holdings notched an 8.3% gain in the fiscal year ended March 31, while investments in private equity and private debt earned 13.4% and 10.2%, respectively. Overall, the pension fund manager returned 10% in the fiscal year, missing its benchmark of 12.3% and bringing net assets to C$251.6 billion ($183.3 billion), according to a statement Wednesday. BCI cut its US exposure to about 39% last year from 43.4% the previous year as it sold part of its equity portfolio, which is typically heavily tilted toward the country, Rayes said. The pension fund manager is also allocating capital to less volatile regions such as Europe and Asia amid President Donald Trump's erratic trade policies. Rayes said uncertainty about the world's largest economy means investors will either bid lower for assets or require higher growth to compensate. 'We might start underwriting a transaction in the beginning of the year; things change, the uncertainty increases and you get out,' he said. 'Pens down on the transaction.' While Trump's proposed so-called revenge tax has been delayed and revised by the US Senate, it adds another layer of unease. Known as Section 899, the provision has non-US investors worried that it could make investing in the country more expensive. BCI has done its own scenario analysis on the revenge tax. 'For our total portfolio at BCI, we could have an impact of 15 basis points as it stands today,' Rayes said, explaining that the final number may be zero in some cases but much higher in others. BCI, which invests the retirement savings of British Columbia's public sector workers, increased its exposure to Canada by seven percentage points to 37.8% during the year. That was driven by an increased allocation to the country's government bonds, private debt and real estate. Rayes said BCI would be interested in investing in Canadian infrastructure, such as airports. More stories like this are available on

Reliance Defence bags export order worth ₹600 cr from Germany's Rheinmetall
Reliance Defence, a defence manufacturer promoted by Anil Ambani's Reliance Infrastructure, has secured an export order worth Rs 600 crore from Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbH, a German defence and ammunition maker. The order is one of the largest in the high-tech ammunition domain to date, R-Infra claimed. Reliance Defence recently announced a partnership with Rheinmetall to supply explosives and propellants for ammunition to the latter. Reliance Defence aims to be a reliable partner in the global defence and munitions supply chain, with a particular focus on Europe. It aims to be among the top three defence exporters in India in the next 12–24 months. The agreement aligns with Reliance Defence's strategic focus on expanding its international presence, with Europe identified as a key market for future growth, the company noted. Armin Papperger, chief executive officer, Rheinmetall AG, said, 'This strategic partnership of Rheinmetall with Reliance Defence, led by Anil Ambani's Reliance Group, illustrates our strong commitment to partner with India under the strong leadership of Prime Minister Modi.' Reliance Defence will establish an integrated facility for the manufacturing of explosives, ammunition and small arms under the Dhirubhai Ambani Defence City (DADC) initiative. The DADC is being developed in the Watad industrial area of Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, and is set to become the largest greenfield project in the defence sector ever undertaken by any private company in India, the company said. Rheinmetall AG is one of the world's largest defence conglomerates, with a market capitalisation of over €80 billion. It concluded the calendar year 2024 with an annual revenue of €9.8 billion from operations spanning 171 global locations. Earlier this month, Reliance Defence tied up with Germany-based Diehl Defence for the production of next-generation terminally guided munitions (TGM) in Ratnagiri. The facilities for the above-mentioned partnerships in Ratnagiri will be established with an investment of Rs 5,000 crore over the next five years, a company source stated. The company aims to fund 30 per cent of the investment via equity and the remaining 70 per cent through debt. The equity is likely to come from the company's internal cash accruals, the source added.
