San Francisco – September 03, 2026 -- Outmarket AI has launched an expanded Employee Benefits module designed to automate the full administrative workflow cycle for insurance brokerages, converting raw carrier documents, census files, and bills into structured, ready-to-use outputs.

Platform extracts data from carrier documents to eliminate manual VLOOKUPs and hand-formatting

The AI-native module allows agents to upload plan documents in any format—PDF, Word, or Excel—from any carrier to automatically build side-by-side plan comparisons covering medical, vision, dental, ancillary, and Rx tiers. Brokers can feed plan documents from up to 10 carriers alongside a census file to generate cost comparisons, run contribution scenarios, and calculate affordability.

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands – September 03, 2026 -- KuCoin has partnered with FinChain to integrate the yield-bearing stablecoin FUSD into its RWA Collateral Mirroring Solution (RCMS), allowing institutional clients to use custodied real-world assets as trading collateral without selling or transferring them to the exchange.

RCMS lets institutions map custodied FUSD value directly to KuCoin trading accounts

Under the arrangement, FUSD's eligible collateral value is assessed within a designated custody framework and mapped to relevant KuCoin trading accounts under platform rules. Institutional users retain existing custody and yield arrangements while tapping KuCoin's liquidity, trade execution, risk controls and position management to deploy capital.
