AEON Integrates TRON Network to Enable Seamless In-Store Payments
HONG KONG, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AEON, the next generation crypto framework built for payments, has integrated the TRON network to enable seamless in-store payments. Through AEON Pay, users can now transact using TRX, the native utility token of the TRON network. USDT and USDD on TRON for offline payments are also included to bring fast and low-cost digital payments into everyday retail experiences. This integration marks a major milestone in AEON's mission to make crypto spending frictionless and widely accessible, while significantly expanding the utility of TRON-based digital assets in global retail environments.
As one of the most actively used public layer-1 blockchains, TRON's high throughput and low transaction fees have earned it a reputation for fast and secure payments. In addition to TRX, USDD and USDT on TRON can now be used to make purchases at thousands of physical retail locations. From global franchises to local stores, approximately 10,000 brands and 20 million merchants across Southeast Asia can now tap into a circulating supply of $77B+ stablecoins on TRON. Expansion into Africa and Latin America is currently in development.
'TRON encompasses a global community that has embraced blockchain as a fast, affordable, reliable, and stable means of transacting,' said AEON's CEO, Eddie Li. 'The sheer volume of users and stablecoin activity on their network is extremely well-suited to AEON's growing suite of payment services for users around the world.'
To make purchases, users simply open the AEON Pay app, scan the merchant's QR code, and pay directly with their TRON-based digital assets. By tapping into TRON's expansive global user base, AEON is accelerating crypto adoption where it matters most: on the streets, in cafes, and at retail counters.
'AEON Pay's integration greatly enhances TRON's mission to become a global settlement layer,' said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson for the TRON DAO. 'We each approach the goal of driving Web3 adoption by building bridges between crypto and traditional finance.'
This strategic collaboration with TRON underscores AEON's leadership in real-world crypto payment innovation. As AEON continues to shape a globally connected Web3 economy, its support for TRON reaffirms its commitment to driving mass adoption of crypto and integrating it into everyday payment experiences.

Zambia urges carmakers to build parts locally, ship to SA
Zambia has held talks with carmakers to entice suppliers to build electric-vehicle components plants near its copper mines. 'We have been talking, even last week when I was in Germany, telling these companies to please consider the manufacture of some of your electric-vehicle components in Zambia,' Finance Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane said in Livingstone on Monday. 'Those components can then be shipped to your factories in South Africa, which now exports to the rest of the world. That is a powerful way of value addition.' Zambia is Africa's second-biggest producer of copper, a key component in EV engines. The government plans to continue pursuing prudent fiscal policies, even if it doesn't start a new International Monetary Fund programme when the current one ends in October, he said. The cabinet had yet to decide whether to seek another loan. Musokotwane criticised the abrupt cancellation of some aid programs to Zambia and Africa in general by the US, while acknowledging the assistance was always expected to decline. The minister was speaking at Bloomberg's annual Africa Business Media Innovators conference.

K-Pop Company Jumps On Bitcoin Treasury Train, Stock Surges 150%
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. The Bitcoin Treasury Company train is showing no signs of slowing. The latest to jump on the bandwagon is an entertainment firm focused on producing K-pop music and related merchandising. K Wave Media (NASDAQ:KWM) said on Wednesday that it agreed to sell $500 million worth of ordinary shares to Bitcoin Strategic Reserve KWM, vowing to commit a significant portion of the proceeds to buy Bitcoin. Don't Miss: — no wallets, just price speculation and free paper trading to practice different strategies. Grow your IRA or 401(k) with Crypto – . 'K Wave is looking to be the 'Metaplanet of Korea,'' the firm said, referring to the Japanese hotel management company-turned-Bitcoin-treasury firm in 2024. Metaplanet's stock surged 2,600% within the year. K Wave Media said it expected a similar model to resonate with investors across Asia and the world. Indeed, the company's stock surged nearly 150% following its announcement of a Bitcoin treasury, opening at almost $5 on Wednesday after closing just below $2 on Tuesday. Beyond purchasing Bitcoin, K Wave Media intends to become deeply involved in the blockchain ecosystem, revealing plans to operate Bitcoin Lightning Network nodes and invest in native infrastructure, with the goal of enabling customers to engage with content and purchase merchandise on the blockchain. 'Bitcoin offers not just a store of value, but a foundation for innovation, independence, and global scalability," said Co-Interim CEO of K Wave Media Ted Kim. 'This is a defining step forward for K Wave and for the future of creative finance that will further assist KWM to produce [South] Korea's best content and help position KWM in the K POP's entire ecosystem by allowing it to expand to concert management and music distribution, among others.' Trending: New to crypto? on Coinbase. Standard Chartered recently estimated that approximately 61 public companies are adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets in hopes of becoming proxies for the leading digital asset. The bank warned that while the business model worked for now, as institutional access to Bitcoin remained limited in some regions, these companies are likely to lose their value as the asset became more normalized. At the same time, the bank warned that newer firms in the space faced a Bitcoin volatility risk. 'BTC volatility suggests that a move lower – below the average purchase prices for some Bitcoin treasuries – is probable in the nearer term,' Standard Chartered digital assets research chief Geoffrey Kendrick said. 'Indeed, at current average purchase prices for Bitcoin treasuries, it would only take a move back below USD 90,000 to put half the Bitcoin treasuries (by number of companies) underwater.' Standard Chartered warned that these firms may not have a large pain threshold. According to the bank, these firms could be forced to sell if Bitcoin were to slip 22% below their purchasing price. 'Bitcoin treasuries are adding to Bitcoin buying pressure for now, but we see a risk that this may reverse over time,' Kendrick said. Read Next: A must-have for all crypto enthusiasts: .

‘Most Successful Ever' Team Al Ahly Gets Set For FIFA Club World Cup
Egypt's Al Ahly has win 45 domestic league titles. Spanish coach José Riveiro is under no illusions. In most roles, winning back-to-back league titles, two domestic honors, a couple of continental crowns, four consecutive Super Cups, and an African-Asian-Pacific trophy represents more than enough credit in the bank—especially within three years. But it's a little different at the Egyptian superteam Al Ahly. A significant portion of Egypt's soccer fan population supports the Red Devils (not to be muddled with Manchester United), which carries an expectation to win, win, and win. It's hard to dispute that 15-time European Cup champion Real Madrid is the most successful club in global soccer. Yet, by the quantity of silverware, Al-Ahly is out in front; its official website exhibits an unparalleled 155 trophies. Marcel Koller has lived it. Despite winning the first mentioned haul of prizes between September 2022 and April 2025, he was out of a job following Al Ahly's exit from Africa's version of the Champions League at the semifinal stage this season just finished. So, his replacement, Riveiro, has an exacting task on his hands, one of which is turning a few heads at the Club World Cup, where Al-Ahly will, on this occasion, be a small fish in a big pond. The Egyptians kick off the expanded tournament against Lionel Messi-fronted Inter Miami this June 14 (in the United States)—a game crucial to FIFA. Having negotiated a reported €877 million ($1 billion)—also its prize money—deal with broadcaster DAZN, the governing body now wants as much revenue as possible from sponsorships and gate receipts. It's relying on lots of eyeballs—especially because DAZN's basic coverage of the aspirational competition is free to view. However, early indications are the show's pull is weaker than FIFA hoped, with ticket prices tumbling and the prospect of thousands of empty seats for the opening fixture. There's little doubt the president, Gianni Infantino, wanted Cristiano Ronaldo's magnetism to push things along, but the Portuguese isn't eyeing an appearance. FIFA is swimming against the tide, and the Inter Miami-Al Ahly spectacle will hint at what's to come. The complexly designed trophy will be given to the best team on July 13, a month or so before next ... More season begins in earnest. All the same, an impressive performance from Al-Ahly would start the competition in style. For some big hitters touching down in the U.S., the Club World Cup is inconvenient after a long season. For a team like Al Ahly, it's a golden ticket to test its might against the very best. Notwithstanding FIFA's €219 million ($250 million) solidarity payout to clubs worldwide, the typically strong European names will pocket more from participating in the show than sides from other confederations. Still, the bonuses will bolster an already strong Al Ahly in Egypt. Indeed, Al-Ahly has a financial leg-up over competitors back home. With social media support rivaling most Premier League big shots, it also operates as a general sports entity—with basketball, handball, and other teams part of the brand—and can draw healthy income from high-end club membership fees. Incidentally, Manchester City star Omar Marmoush began his career at another Egyptian club, Wadi Degla, which also has the ubiquitous sports and leisure model built in. Naturally, Al-Ahly has the pick of quality players. Ex-Aston Villa forward Mahmoud Trézéguet is among the squad for the matches ahead, while Emam Ashour scores an impressive number of goals from midfield. But to say Al-Ahly's dominance is all you need to know about Egyptian soccer goes wide of the mark. The Cairo giant, established as a counter to British colonial rule in 1907, is a rival to Zamalek, with the pair cooking up one of the most ferocious soccer derbies anywhere. And in recent times, Pyramids FC—bought and rebranded as such by Turki Al-Sheikh seven years ago—has shaken up the natural order a little. All told, how Al Ahly fares at the Club World Cup won't have much bearing in North Africa. It will remain the force in a country whose leagues include state or privately-owned sides with virtually no fanbases. Instead, the national scene is arguably the main talking point from here on in. There's criticism that Egypt's football association isn't doing enough for young talents soon to lead the next generation—this from a land that boasts Liverpool idol Mohamed Salah. As for Al Ahly, even going far in the Club World Cup may be up there with some of the many achievements from its gold-plated 118-year history.
