STUTTGART, Germany, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — diconium is resuming its operations in the Chinese market with the appointment of Philipp Reth (47) as the head of the Chinese market division. In this role, the experienced mobility expert will immediately drive diconium’s business at the Beijing location after the break caused by the pandemic. His primary focus will be on supporting the Volkswagen Group and its joint venture partners in China. Additionally, he will work on establishing and expanding customer business in various sectors, including mobility, consumer goods & retail, banking & insurance, industry, and technology & media & telecommunications (TMT). He will also be responsible for expanding the diconium partner network in China and leading the local team of around 100 new hires and experienced diconium employees. The ultimate goal is to establish China as a fully-fledged diconium location that facilitates digital growth for diconium customers worldwide. Furthermore, diconium is already planning to open offices in Shanghai and Hefei. The management team in China is also seeking local reinforcements to work with Philipp Reth in a dual leadership role in the future. Philipp Reth will report directly to Anja Hendel, the Managing Director of the diconium Group.
“China offers our customers major growth in the market. Currently, many companies are launching strategies in China, for which we will provide them with optimal local support,” says Anja Hendel, Managing Director of the diconium Group. “A crucial role is played by digital transformation, which is firmly anchored in diconium’s DNA. We are internationally positioned and have been accompanying our customers through the process of digitalization as a strong partner for more than 25 years. With Philipp Reth, we are gaining an absolute top force for the management of the business in China, who will specifically drive our reactivation on the Chinese market through his comprehensive expertise, strategic understanding and strong communication and leadership skills.”
“Overall, digitalization in China is significantly more advanced than in Europe. This transformational edge in the Chinese market poses huge challenges for many international companies, as there are major differences at a business level, as well as at strategic, organizational and operational levels,” says Philipp Reth. “Our goal is to bridge exactly these gaps for our customers. And we do this under the well-known motto ‘in China for China and from China to the world` at our own location in the country.”
Prior to joining diconium as the head of the Chinese market division, Philipp Reth served as the Head of Volkswagen Group Mobility at Volkswagen AG. He has an impressive background, having founded the car-sharing service WeShare and worked as its CEO until its acquisition by Miles.

SynFutures Introduces the First ‘Perp Launchpad’ with $1M Grant to Support Emerging Token Projects
The new product enables anyone to launch perpetual futures markets for any asset, fostering innovation in the DeFi space amid the rise of memecoins and long-tail assets.
HONG KONG, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SynFutures (www.synfutures.com), a leading decentralized derivatives protocol, today announced the launch of its Perp Launchpad, the first launchpad product focused on derivatives markets rather than spot markets. The new product allows any project to launch perpetual futures markets for any native asset. Alongside this launch, SynFutures is unveiling a $1 million Perp Launchpad Grant program to support emerging projects in listing their tokens and enhancing their visibility within the rapidly expanding on-chain markets.
The crypto market has recently witnessed a surge in memecoins and other long-tail assets capturing the attention of retail traders. Designed to complement trending spot markets with open and efficient derivatives markets, SynFutures’ Perp Launchpad enables projects to unlock new token demand and utility, providing their communities with passive LP (liquidity provider) rewards and more ways to trade and hedge risk through leveraged perpetual futures trading.
Perp Launchpad also pioneers the on-chain derivatives space by supporting coin-margined perp markets with single token concentrated liquidity, as well as a vault feature that helps optimize liquidity to generate consistent yields for liquidity providers.
Launching First on Base
The initial launch of Perp Launchpad will take place on Base, allowing projects to launch perp trading pairs for any native asset on the growing L2 network. The launch follows a successful launchpad pilot program with established LST, LRT, and stablecoin projects like Lido, Solv Protocol, and PumpBTC.
SynFutures has been a significant contributor to the Base ecosystem growth. Since the Base expansion of V3, the latest iteration of the SynFutures protocol in July 2024, SynFutures has accounted for more than 50% of the total derivatives trading volume on Base, amounting to over $23 billion in cumulative trading volume and 138,000 on-chain users.
$1 Million Grant Program for Emerging Projects
To further support emerging projects and cultivate a thriving on-chain derivatives ecosystem, SynFutures has allocated $1 million through the Perp Launchpad Grant. Individual projects can receive grants in the form of campaign support, liquidity provision, and trading incentives, as well as co-marketing and promotional support to activate new listings.
“Providing access to derivatives markets for emerging tokens is crucial in today’s dynamic trading environment,” said Rachel Lin, Co-Founder and CEO at SynFutures. “By enabling perpetual futures markets for new and trending tokens, we’re not only meeting the market demand but also supporting the growth and diversification of the DeFi ecosystem. Our Perp Launchpad and Grant Program are designed to empower these projects, offering them the tools and resources they need to bring more utility and depth to their tokens.”
The Perp Launchpad Grant builds upon SynFutures’ successful track record of supporting emerging tokens. Previous initiatives like the DAO Perps Program and Meme Perp Summer have supported various projects, including DEGEN and MEW, both of which have seen significant success since their listings on V3 in July and August 2024, respectively.
Unique Opportunities for Traders
For traders, the Perp Launchpad offers the chance to access a wider range of assets, including trending tokens that may not be available on other platforms across CeFi and DeFi. As memecoins and long-tail assets continue to drive attention, traders can engage in leveraged trading to capitalize on market movements and potential arbitrage opportunities. The platform also offers various incentives such as trading competitions and promotional events, providing traders with additional avenues to enhance their returns while participating in the on-chain economy.
Applications Now Open
Applications for the Perp Launchpad Grant are now open and will be accepted on a rolling basis. Eligible projects are encouraged to submit applications via the application form, check eligibility requirements at http://launchpad.synfutures.com/.
About SynFutures
SynFutures is a decentralized perpetual futures protocol that facilitates open and transparent trading on any assets and listings instantly. The V3 Oyster AMM launched the industry’s first-ever unified AMM and on-chain order book model.
Backers include Tier 1 Web3 institutional investors Pantera Capital, Polychain Capital, Susquehanna International Group (SIG), Dragonfly Capital, Standard Crypto, and Framework Ventures, and the team has extensive experience at global financial institutions, fintech companies and blockchain technology companies such as Alipay, Bitmain, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Matrixport, and Nomura Securities.
