Japan’s OKJ to List Midnight’s NIGHT Token
Japanese cryptocurrency exchange OKJ announced on October 10 its plans to list Midnight’s NIGHT token on October 13 at 5:00 p.m. Japan time.

- block at beginning, then rewritten article HTML body text. Must remove promotional lines, “SEE ALSO” links, footer junk. Also must keep all media elements (images, iframe, etc.) unchanged and in original positions. Need to rewrite headline to unique, fresh, professional. Then rewrite the news story body text into natural, high-quality professional English. We need to keep HTML tags, but also ensure media tags remain exactly. Let’s identify media elements: There’s a with an and a . The img class includes many srcset and width/height attributes. Must keep exactly. There’s also a <img alt=”” loading=”lazy”… class=”shrink-0 rounded-full max-sm:h-[22px] max-sm:w-[22px]” style=”color:transparent” src=”https://coin-images.coingecko.com/coins/images/1/large/bitcoin.png?1696501400″/> (a small bitcoin icon). Must keep. There are some lines with etc, but they are part of UI elements like price, market data. Those seem like promotional or UI, not part of article body? The instructions: Remove promotional lines, “SEE ALSO” links, and footer junk. The price/value and market projections might be promotional UI. So we likely need to remove those elements that are not part of news story. Also the Daily Debrief Newsletter and its paragraph likely are promotional newsletter sign-up, thus remove. Also the with Bitcoin label etc maybe part of UI; likely promotional. So we should remove those. We need to keep the article body: The news story comprises paragraphs with tags describing the committee actions. Also list items () describing amendments. We need to ensure we preserve the with three list items (the amendments). Also the figure with image remains. Also need to keep the paragraph after the figure (the final paragraph) that continues article: “The Assembly adopted another crypto-inclusive tax…” that’s part of article? It describes another amendment, still news. That seems relevant. Also the final paragraph about floor debate dates. That also part of article. We must rewrite headline: Original: “French Committee Backs Stablecoin Swap Tax and Crypto Exit Tax, Then Rejects the Budget”. Need unique, fresh, professional. Maybe: “French Finance Committee Approves Taxes on Crypto Swaps and High‑Value Holdings, Rejects Budget”. But need professional and fresh. Let’s craft: “French Finance Committee Endorses Taxes on Crypto Swaps and Wealthy Holdings, Rejects Budget”. That is okay. But we need to output [TITLE]… then the headline? Actually [TITLE] block should contain the rewritten headline. The instruction: Output ONLY the requested [TITLE] block at the absolute beginning, followed immediately by the rewritten content. So [TITLE] block contains the headline (rewritten). Then immediately after that, the cleaned, rewritten article HTML body text. Thus we need: [TITLE]French Finance Committee Endorses Taxes on Crypto Swaps and Wealthy Holdings, Rejects Budget
