Gibraltar, Gibraltar, January 16th, 2026, Chainwire

MINGO today announced the launch of MINGO Tickets, its digital ticketing platform, alongside its expansion across 54 countries. Designed to make event access verifiable and reliable, the platform improves the fan experience while giving organisers greater confidence and control over ticketing.

Live event ticketing continues to face major challenges worldwide, from ticket fraud and duplicated access to high fees and poor fan experiences. As demand for live events grows globally, organisers are under increasing pressure to adopt systems that are secure, scalable, and accessible across multiple markets.

Built as a progressive web app and powered by enterprise grade infrastructure on the Hedera network, MINGO Tickets works seamlessly across devices without app downloads. It addresses core ticketing issues such as fraud and duplication, supporting high volume events with predictable costs, fast performance, and built in integrity.

As part of this expansion, MINGO is rolling out MINGO Tickets across Africa through a partnership with African Boxing and the Yucateco Boxing League, supporting live events across 54 nations and one of the world’s fastest growing sports markets.

Africa represents a mobile first environment where accessibility and reliability are critical. MINGO Tickets is designed to operate across diverse markets while helping reduce ticket fraud by issuing verifiable digital tickets that make authenticity provable rather than assumed.

MINGO was one of the earliest builders on Hedera, selecting the network to support real world utility at scale. Hedera’s speed, security, sustainability, and predictable fees enable MINGO Tickets to operate effectively from grassroots events to major international promotions.

A Practical Approach to Event Access

  • Verifiable digital tickets that help prevent fraud and duplication
  • Lower, predictable ticketing fees for organisers
  • Simple mobile first access through a progressive web app
  • Tools that allow organisers to engage fans beyond the event

Joe Arthur, CEO of Mingo, said:

“As live events scale globally, the systems behind them need to scale too. MINGO Tickets is about improving access, reducing fraud, and giving organisers a platform they can rely on, while keeping the experience simple for fans. Expanding across 54 countries is a major step in proving that this model works.”

Hon. Omonlei Yakubu Imadu, CEO of Yucateco Boxing Promotions and Vice President of African Boxing, hailed the partnership as a turning point for African sports:

“Our vision has always been to elevate African boxing to the global stage, but we lacked the digital highway to connect our 54 nations. MINGO is not just a ticketing app; it is the operating system for the future of our sport. By integrating ticketing, fighter payments, and fan engagement into one sovereign platform, we are finally unlocking the true economic power of the African continent.”

Kevin Noone, Secretary General of The WBC Asian Boxing Council and Secretary General of WBC MuayThai, added:

“This partnership is a step in the right direction. Making events more accessible for fans, while protecting the integrity of the sport, is hugely important. MINGO Tickets achieves both by delivering a simple, secure, and fair ticketing experience—exactly what the boxing and MuayThai industries need as they continue to grow around the world.”

Built for Scale and Global Use

The rollout across 54 countries marks the first phase of MINGO’s wider international expansion. Future developments will continue to focus on improving access, reducing friction, and supporting organisers and fans with infrastructure designed for real world events at global scale.

In Jinjiang, Fujian, a Storage Super Unicorn Lies Quiet

In Fujian's Jinjiang, a city known for sportswear, lies a quiet semiconductor giant: Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co. (JHICC). Once a promising domestic DRAM manufacturer alongside Yangtze Memory and ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), its journey was derailed in 2018 when the U.S. placed it on an Entity List and filed criminal charges for alleged trade secret theft. This halted production for years. A turning point came in February 2024 when a U.S. federal court found JHICC not guilty. However, it had lost crucial time. While CXMT soared to become a top-valued A-share company in 2024, JHICC, with an estimated valuation of 80 billion RMB, was just restarting. Its current output is primarily customized DDR4 chips, not the advanced DDR5/HBM demanded for AI, but it still benefits from the broader memory chip upcycle. JHICC's story is tied to Chen Zhengkun, a veteran engineer who left Micron to lead the venture. Founded in 2016 with state-backed funding, JHICC partnered with Taiwan's UMC to develop DRAM technology. Rapid progress was cut short by the U.S. actions, which Micron initiated, partly due to its heavy reliance on the Chinese market. Post-sanctions, Chen's team worked to rebuild the production line with reduced reliance on U.S. technology. According to its records, JHICC achieved small-scale production and revenue growth under immense pressure. It now focuses on the stable "niche" DRAM market (e.g., TVs, routers) with a monthly capacity of ~40,000 wafers, aiming for 60,000 by 2026. It holds over 1,000 patents but remains on the Entity List. For Jinjiang, investing in JHICC was a bold industrial leap. The local government provided unwavering financial and logistical support during the crisis, helping the company survive. JHICC has become the anchor for a growing local semiconductor cluster. Though its scale lags behind domestic peers, JHICC's persistence symbolizes a hard-won foothold in a global market long dominated by Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. Having missed one boom, it seeks a place in the new AI-driven memory supercycle.
