Adyen Enables Tap to Pay on iPhone in Seven Additional European Markets
Adyen , the global financial technology platform of choice for leading businesses, has officially enabled Tap to Pay on iPhone in seven new markets: Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Iceland, Luxembourg, and Malta. The functionality allows businesses such as Suitsupply, an international men's fashion brand with more than 100 stores worldwide, to enable iPhones to accept contactless payments without the need to purchase or manage additional hardware. By expanding Tap to Pay on iPhone to new markets, Adyen continues to provide best in class solutions for in-person payments.
'With Tap to Pay on iPhone, we're enabling a secure, scalable and smooth payment process for merchants and their customers that enhances the shopping experience, rather than interrupting it,' said Alexa von Bismarck, President EMEA at Adyen. ' The in-store experience remains a key touchpoint between consumers and brands, so we're proud to be expanding this offering to even more countries today in partnership with Apple'.
'Tap to Pay on iPhone has been a key component in delivering a best-in-class checkout experience for our customers,' said Valentijn Bolle, IT Product Owner at Suitsupply. 'We've already implemented Tap to Pay on iPhone in every available country, equipping more than 2000 Style Advisors with their own personal device for this purpose. Together with Adyen, we're looking forward to providing this seamless, flexible and efficient payment experience to even more customers across the globe.'
Tap to Pay on iPhone accepts all forms of contactless payments, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and a supporting iOS app — no additional hardware or payment terminal needed. Using an iPhone XS or later, running the latest version of iOS, at checkout, merchants will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment method near the merchant's iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology.
Tap to Pay on iPhone will enable Adyen's customers to stay at the forefront of innovation by: Simplifying in-person payments by removing the dependence on payment hardware to accept transactions, providing a complementary way to accept payments for line-busting.
Getting up and running quickly with installation and onboarding, allowing businesses to scale up their payment operation.
Providing safe and fast checkout experiences that increase mobility on location.
Allowing for a convenient and secure way to pay for customers since transactions are encrypted and payment data is protected by the same technology that makes Apple Pay private and secure.
Tap to Pay on iPhone uses the built-in features of iPhone to keep business and customer data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple does not store card numbers or transaction information on the device or on Apple servers.

Hong Kong bares plan to allow digital asset derivates trading
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Hong Kong's top finance sector regulator plans to permit digital asset derivatives for professional investors, according to a June 4 report by local outlet China Daily HK. The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) reportedly aims to introduce digital asset derivatives trading for professional investors as part of a broader strategy to expand product offerings and reinforce the territory's role as a fintech powerhouse. The SFC said that priority will be given to sound risk management, with trades conducted 'in an orderly, transparent and secure manner.' Financial Services and the Treasury Secretary Christopher Hui Ching-yu confirmed the digital asset derivates plan, while suggesting that Hong Kong is also optimizing its tax framework to attract more international players. Based on the proposed tax rules, digital assets will qualify for concessions under Hong Kong's preferential tax regime for funds, single-family offices, and carried interest. These are just the latest initiatives in a recent push by Hong Kong's lawmakers and regulators to make the special administrative region a more hospitable environment for digital assets and a global hub for the industry. In February, the regulator released its roadmap for 'a brighter future,' in which it set out a five-pillar framework intended to serve as a strategic action plan for addressing emerging new priorities in the digital asset space and, in the SFC's words, 'future-proofing Hong Kong's VA [virtual asset] ecosystem.' The special administrative region's increased embracing of the sector comes as the global digital asset market surpassed $3 trillion in value, with annual trading volumes exceeding $70 trillion, based on SFC data published alongside the roadmap. HK's road to digital asset hub Since its first digital asset policy statement, published by the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB) in October 2022, the region has significantly broadened its market offerings and regulatory guidance. The very same month AS the first policy statement, Hong Kong introduced Asia's first digital asset futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This set the trend for what was to follow, and in April last year, the SFC approved the applications of several spot BTC and ETH ETFs. The following month, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA)—the central bank of the special administrative region—announced that it had partnered with the People's Bank of China (PBoC) to expand the scope of the digital yuan, allowing residents to set up digital yuan wallets and make payments at local merchant stores. This made it the first region beyond mainland China to support the central bank digital currency (CBDC). In September 2024, the HKMA partnered with the SFC to co-announce their intent to adopt reporting requirements set by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) for digital asset over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. The region's embracing of the digital asset sector continued into 2025, and in January the HKMA launched a new initiative to support local banks as they launch blockchain products, with tokenization as a key focus areas. Officially known as the 'Supervisory Incubator for Distributed Ledger Technology,' it will primarily focus on the risks that arise as banks transition from experimentation to production of blockchain services. The HKMA described the incubator as a 'new supervisory arrangement' that will allow local banks to 'maximize the potential benefits of DLT adoption by effectively managing the associated risks.' In terms of a full regulatory framework for digital assets, last August, Hong Kong Legislative Council member David Chiu hinted that the territory could introduce enhanced digital asset regulations within the next 18 months. 'The digital asset industry has made significant progress in the past few years, but we are still in a very early stage,' said Chiu, speaking at the third annual Foresight Conference in Hong Kong on August 11, 2024. He went on to outline the city's strategic plans to attract tech talent, build supportive infrastructure, and establish robust supervision, saying that 'we should establish a sound exchange system and soon introduce legislation related to stablecoins.' It didn't take long for this legislative pledge to come to fruition, as in May this year Hong Kong became the first common-law jurisdiction to give fiat-backed stablecoins a dedicated act of their own—the Stablecoins Ordinance—placing the HKMA in charge of licensing their issuers. The new ordinance balances the core imperatives of advancing innovation and maintaining financial stability, giving hope that the broader digital asset space will get similar regulatory treatment in the region, while also laying down a marker to lawmakers around the globe still grappling with stablecoin and digital asset legislation.

Activist hedge fund Parvus builds stake in Novo Nordisk, FT reports
June 9 (Reuters) - Activist hedge fund Parvus Asset Management is building a stake in Novo Nordisk ( opens new tab, after the company lost its first mover advantage in the lucrative weight-loss drug market, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing people with knowledge of the details. The London-based fund, which has targeted budget airline Ryanair (RYA.I), opens new tab and Italian bank UniCredit ( opens new tab, wants to influence the appointment of Novo Nordisk's new CEO, the report said. Novo told Reuters in an email that it does not "have anything to add." Parvus did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In May, the company announced its CEO Lars Fruergaard Jorgensen would step down after shares plunged from a record-high in June last year as competition, particularly from U.S. rival Eli Lilly (LLY.N), opens new tab, makes inroads into Novo's market share, while its pipeline of new drugs has failed to impress investors. Novo also expects its Wegovy weight-loss drug sales in the United States to start recovering once a ban on compound copycats is enforced this month, Jorgensen said last month after the company cut its 2025 forecasts.
