On April 14th, Bank of America Securities released a research report, forecasting that JD Logistics (02618.HK)s total revenue for the first quarter of 2026 will increase by 25% year-on-year to RMB 58.9 billion, with non-IFRS net profit rising by 37% year-on-year to RMB 1.03 billion. The non-IFRS net profit margin is expected to improve from 1.6% in the same period last year to 1.8%. Excluding the on-demand delivery business, the bank expects JD Logistics core supply chain logistics revenue to grow by 6% year-on-year, with traditional express delivery revenue growing by 10%, outperforming the industry, while its cross-border express delivery business will achieve double-digit growth. Bank of America Securities believes that in a volatile operating environment, revenue growth is more important than profit margin, reflecting the high stickiness of supply chain logistics customers. The bank also raised its non-IFRS profit forecasts for the group for this year and next by 13% to 18%; the target price was raised from HK$15 to HK$16.6, and the "Buy" rating was reiterated.On April 14th, it was learned from the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport that the Beijing Municipal Transportation Law Enforcement Team has recently launched an investigation into Shanghai Hello Bike Technology Co., Ltd. for illegally deploying excessive numbers of shared bicycles in Beijing.

Lawsuit accuses troubled crypto lender Celsius Network of fraud

On Thursday, a former investment manager at Celsius Network filed a lawsuit against the cryptocurrency lender, alleging that it had frozen client funds and had rigged the price of its own cryptocurrency token using user contributions.


According to the lawsuit, Celsius engaged in "gross mishandling of client deposits" in order to enrich itself and deceived plaintiff KeyFi Inc, controlled by former manager Jason Stone, into delivering services worth millions of dollars while refusing to pay for them.


The complaint was filed in Manhattan's New York state court and demands both specific compensation and punitive damages; Celsius has not yet responded.


Stone's charges come after Celsius decided on June 12 to halt transfers and withdrawals for its 1.7 million clients due to "extreme" market circumstances.


Later, the Hoboken, New Jersey-based business recruited consultants to discuss a potential debt restructure that would include declaring bankruptcy.


While the cryptocurrency hedge fund went into liquidation late last month, the crypto lender Voyager Digital Ltd filed for bankruptcy protection this week.


Celsius guaranteed retail consumers disproportionate returns, up to 19% yearly.


However, Stone said that Celsius had trouble paying investors because it neglected to hedge its bets, leading to "severe" losses when the value of several currencies changed.


He also claimed that Celsius had a $100 million to $200 million hole in its records that it "could not completely explain or rectify" because certain deposits were recorded on a U.S. dollar basis even though clients were paid in bitcoin or other digital currencies.


The case filed on Thursday claims that Stone produced $838 million in profit for Celsius and KeyFi before expenses and overhead from August 2020 to March 2021 while mostly operating without a formal agreement, with KeyFi being entitled to 20% of net profit.


When it became apparent that the hedging difficulties "may be financially ruinous" for Celsius and harm KeyFi's image, Stone claims he ended the connection in March 2021. However, Stone claims that Celsius has refused to accept his resignation.


KeyFi Inc. v. Celsius Network Ltd. et al., New York State Supreme Court, New York County, is the name of the case.
