HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 22 April 2025 - Appier announced today that POP MART Taiwan has adopted its AI-powered conversational marketing platform, BotBonnie—a solution within Appier's Personalization Cloud—to accelerate its OMO (online-merge-offline) transformation and streamline the management of limited-edition product sales. The implementation led to a 90% increase in campaign participation, a 210% growth in LINE official account users, and a 30% reduction in manual effort and time spent, setting a new benchmark for transparency and operational efficiency in the designer toy industry.
Effective product allocation and customer engagement are essential to success in the rapidly expanding designer toy market, fueled by rising demand for collectibles and artist-designed figurines. According to Statista, the toys and games market was valued at approximately USD 126 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 135.9 billion by 2029, reflecting sustained global demand.

Misleading posts claim Malaysian government 'removed gas subsidies for all businesses'
"The government has lost its mind. Gas subsidies for businesses have been removed. Small business owners feel like they cannot raise prices again after multiple cost increases," reads a Malay-language Facebook post on June 2, 2025. The claims surfaced after the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) announced a five-month operation beginning May 1 to curb the use of subsidised liquified petroleum gas (LPG) by the commercial and industrial sectors, as well as to crack down on illegal decanting activities (archived link). It also said businesses will no longer be allowed to use subsidised cooking gas and will need to switch to commercial gas cylinders, which cost three times the price of household cylinders (archived link). The launch of the operation prompted lawmakers to claim it would cause small businesses to increase prices for consumers, with one opposition lawmaker calling it "robbery" by the government. Similar claims were shared elsewhere on Facebook, and in a group with more than 35,000 members. Users left comments indicating they were misled, with one saying: "The current government is not helping people but adding to the burden." Another said: "The government has gone too far." However, the operation does not target small businesses. KDPN minister Armizan Mohd Ali refuted the misleading claim in a statement released via state news agency Bernama on June 3, saying the main purpose of the operation was to combat illegal decanting activities, smuggling of LPG and the use of subsidised gas by large and medium-scale industries (archived link). "Through this operation, there are no new policies and regulations, let alone cuts and abolishment of LPG subsidies as claimed by certain parties," the statement said. Instead, small businesses using less than three cylinders of the subsidised gas a day are allowed to keep using the cheaper product, while larger commercial operations using more than three at any one time would require a permit and cannot purchase subsidised gas, the minister said. The Communications Ministry's Department of Information issued a similar clarification on Facebook on May 31 (archived link). Penang Hawkers Association chairman Ooi Thean Huat told AFP that small businesses in the northern state typically only need up to three gas cylinders a day, allowing them to use the subsidised 12kg cylinders, which are sold for 26 ringgit ($6 USD). However, Ooi noted that even switching to the unsubsidised cylinders would not lead to price hikes for customers. "If we use the non-subsidised cylinders, two a day should be enough. There will be no changes to the prices of food because you do get more gas with the commercial cylinders," he said.

Asian Currencies Consolidate Amid Mild Risk Appetite
0038 GMT — Asian currencies consolidate against the dollar in early trade amid mild appetite for risky assets. The main theme has been risk-on, Commerzbank Research analysts say in a research report. The U.S. employment report released Friday was better than expected, they note. Even though U.S. employment growth continued to slow in May, the data still pointed to resilience in the labor market. USD/KRW edges 0.2% higher to 1,361.46, USD/SGD is little changed at 1.2887, and AUD/USD is up 0.1% at 0.6501, FactSet data show. (

Leveraged Bitcoin Longs on Bitfinex Weakest Since December and It Could Mean Rally Time
Those who have followed financial markets for some time may have heard of contrary indicators. These metrics are often misleading at first glance – some appear positive but tend to signal a market downtrend, while others that seem negative mark price upswings. One such contrary indicator is leveraged bitcoin longs on the crypto exchange Bitfinex. Historically, the number of leveraged longs on the exchange has tended to slide during bull runs and rise during bearish trends. As of writing, the number of BTCUSD longs on Bitfinex had fallen to 47,691, the lowest since December, offering bullish cues for bitcoin, according to data source TradingView. The tally of longs peaked in the first half of April and has been declining since then, characterizing BTC's rapid recovery from around $75K to record highs of over $110K. "When Bitfinex Long Positions rise, the price tends to fall. When Long Positions drop, the price usually goes up," crypto analytics firm Alphractal said on X. Explaining the conundrum, Alphractal said that traders are typically wrong about the market direction. That leads to forced or discretionary liquidations, which drive the price in the opposite direction. "As long as Bitfinex Long Positions keep dropping, Bitcoin will continue to rise," João Wedson, CEO of Alphractal, noted. The chart shows the contrary nature of the BTCUSD longs on Bitfinex. Since 2021, every major BTC rally, including those seen in November-December last year and the latest one from early April lows, has coincided with the slide in BTCUSD longs on the exchange. On the other hand, BTC's bear trends, including the 2022 crash and the decline from $100K to $75K seen early this year, occurred as BTC/USD longs surged.
