Published

on

ANTWERP, Belgium, March 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Life’s best moments are often the loudest, and now they sound even better: Loop Earplugs is teaming up with Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival as its first official earplug partner for 2025. The collaboration introduces the limited-edition Loop x Coachella Experience 2 earplugs, designed to elevate the live music experience through unmatched sound clarity and style.

Festival fashion meets volume control
Sharing the intersection of music and fashion, Loop and Coachella unite to encourage attendees to “go front row” for the ultimate festival experience – this year featuring artists including Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone and Travis Scott. With 17 dB (SNR) of filtered noise reduction, Loop x Coachella Experience 2 ensures clear sound while protecting ears – all without missing a beat.

Coachella sets the stage for cultural trailblazing and creativity, which perfectly aligns with our vision at Loop,” says Loop co-founder Dimitri O. “We’re thrilled to co-create something that not only meets the standards of one of the world’s most celebrated festivals but also raises the bar for live music experiences globally.”

Desert-inspired designs
Drawing from Coachella’s California sunrise and sunset, the earplugs feature a unique gradient design blending warm desert hues like soft peach and dreamy blue. This dynamic palette reflects the festival’s evolving atmosphere from dawn to dusk.

Each set comes with a matching Loop x Coachella Carry Case, with the optional Loop x Coachella Link connector cord available separately to keep earplugs secure as festival-goers dance the day – or night – away.

Giving wellness a stage
The collaboration ties hearing health to the festival experience, reflecting Loop’s mission to empower people to live fully through wellness-driven innovations that enhance how we experience the world. This vision comes to life at Coachella, while also celebrating the carefree self-expression that’s essential to overall wellbeing.
“Loop started as a way for us to keep enjoying live music experiences without the negative side effects,” says co-founder Maarten Bodewes. “It’s incredibly rewarding to have Coachella join us on that journey, making hearing protection a more natural, welcome and intrinsic part of live music culture.”

Grabbing the festival essentials
Those who secured Coachella passes during the November 2024 advance sale were given the first opportunity to shop the limited-edition earplugs.

Loop x Coachella Experience 2 earplugs ($39.95) and Loop x Coachella Link connector cord ($29.95) will be further available:

Tiger Brokers (Hong Kong) Co-Hosts Global 70 Multi-Family Office Closed-Door Conference for the First Time

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Global 70 Multi-Family Office Closed-Door Conference, co-hosted by Tiger Brokers (HK) Global Limited (“Tiger Brokers (HK)”), was successfully held on March 24 at The Murray, Hong Kong. Centered around the theme of “Web 3.0: Chaining Wealth,” the conference focused on investment opportunities in the Web 3.0 era, aiming to assist high-net-worth clients in strategizing their digital asset management. 

The event convened industry leaders and seasoned experts, with Tiger Brokers (Hong Kong) making its debut as a co-host. Wu Tianhua, CEO and Co-Founder of Tiger Brokers, attended the conference and delivered the opening remarks. He reflected on Tiger Brokers’ development journey and shared insights on the future prospects and strategic plans for Web3.

Wu Tianhua stated, “This year marks the 11th anniversary of Tiger Brokers. We have achieved growth through three key development strategies: expanding our global footprint by securing financial licenses in multiple countries; enriching our product offerings, covering stocks, funds, futures, and more to meet diverse investment needs; and broadening our business scope, advancing both retail and institutional services while deepening our expertise in wealth management and asset management. In the realm of Web3, we recognize its transformative potential. The global financial system still faces inefficiencies and instability, and Web3 can optimize scenarios such as cross-border payments. As a technology-driven brokerage, we look forward to collaborating with partners to explore Web3 and create a more efficient financial future.”

Xu Yang, Global Partner at Tiger Brokers, also shared insights on the US and China markets,  along with forward-looking perspectives on core asset allocation strategies. He noted that US equities have experienced continued valuation growth driven by the potential of AI applications, but the vulnerabilities of high valuations cannot be ignored. Meanwhile, policy support and domestic demand recovery suggest that Greater China and emerging markets may offer better investment opportunities in 2025.

Xu Yang said: “Next year, we will see a comprehensive easing environment characterized by ‘fiscal expansion + monetary easing.’ Although China’s domestic and external pressures will persist, I maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook on China assets, which may outperform the global market. We are particularly positive on Chinese companies with core technologies, brand advantages, and diversified trade layouts, as well as the structural opportunities in emerging Southeast Asian markets.”

As a leading global tech-driven brokerage, Tiger Brokers is committed to providing professional and personalized wealth management services for high-net-worth clients and institutional investors. The Company believes that with the advent of the Web 3.0 era, family offices will play an increasingly pivotal role in asset allocation.
