House Nouveau Riche Introduces The Veblen Standard ($VBLN) as an Economic Layer For Digital Luxury And Access

Jul 9, 2026

House Nouveau Riche announces THE Veblen Standard ($VBLN), a fixed-supply digital asset on Base Mainnet, designed to enable access, redemption, and participation within its immersive media ecosystem.

Denver, United States, July 9, 2026 -- House Nouveau Riche, an immersive media platform focused on cultural influence and modern status, has announced the launch of The Veblen Standard ($VBLN). This fixed-supply digital asset is designed to function as the primary access and participation layer within the House Nouveau Riche ecosystem.

The Vision

Inspired by economist Thorstein Veblen’s concept of conspicuous consumption, The Veblen Standard is built on the principle that premium goods and experiences derive value from what they communicate: scarcity, taste, and social position. House Nouveau Riche developed VBLN to bring the logic of luxury into a digital economic form, creating a standard of access within a world of high-end content and aspirational media.

Utility and Access

Built on the Base Mainnet, VBLN supports a curated environment where cultural participation is central. With a fixed total supply of 10,000,000 tokens, VBLN is intended to operate across private events, limited-edition merchandise, VIP experiences, and sponsor activations. Unlike traditional digital asset projects, VBLN begins with a defined cultural ecosystem already in development, connecting premium products with curated experiences.

Strategic Launch

The initial activation for VBLN is scheduled for July 24, where selected VIP guests will receive NFC-enabled invitations preloaded with VBLN-denominated credit. These instruments allow for real-time redemption for entry and exclusive merchandise, establishing a tangible use case prior to public trading. Following this private phase, the public launch is planned for July 25, featuring a staged allocation schedule to preserve the curated nature of the ecosystem.

In conjunction with the public launch, House Nouveau Riche has partnered with Fashion Week San Diego, the Art Renewal Center, and Sotheby’s Fine Arts for an evening of art and fashion. This collaboration underscores the brand's commitment to long-term development, liquidity growth, and community expansion within the luxury sector.

Defining the Ecosystem

House Nouveau Riche serves as the cultural foundation for VBLN. The platform’s broader vision includes immersive storytelling, extended reality (XR) content, and token-gated experiences. By merging cultural authority with digital standards, the ecosystem is positioned to redefine how luxury audiences engage with art, fashion, aviation, real estate, and entertainment.

About House Nouveau Riche

House Nouveau Riche is an immersive media platform built around upward mobility, cultural influence, economic stratum, and the performance of modern status. The platform is designed to merge extended-reality storytelling, curated commerce, token-gated private events, premium products, and cultural tastemakers into one elevated ecosystem.

House Nouveau Riche aims to redefine how luxury audiences engage with content by creating immersive, interactive experiences across premium lifestyle, culture, commerce, philanthropy, and emerging talent.

About The Veblen Standard

Kelana Jaya Line LRT service resumes after temporary disruption

KUALA LUMPUR: The Kelana Jaya Line LRT service between the Wangsa Maju and Gombak stations fully resumed operation at 3.30 pm today after repair works were completed, says Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd. The Rapid KL rail service operator previously stated that the service disruption was caused by an unusual flow of rainwater in the surrounding area, which entered the tracks and damaged several track components at around 10.20 am. Rapid Rail said that the operations team was forced to cut off the power supply in the affected area to allow for inspections and repair works. “The Rapid Rail engineering team has successfully completed temporary repair works on the track components. Tests on the system and track components were also conducted to ensure that services could resume safely in accordance with safety standards. “However, the engineering and operations teams will continue to monitor the system’s stability to ensure smooth train operations,“ the statement said. Rapid Rail thanked passengers for their patience throughout the service disruption. Several roads in Kuala Lumpur were flooded following continuous heavy rain that began around 9 am today.

GISBH: KPWKM prioritises swift reunification of rescued children with families

KUALA LUMPUR: The immediate return of children rescued during Op Global to their parents and families is a top priority for the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM). However, its minister, Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said KPWKM must first ensure that the children’s parents and families can provide adequate and proper care. “For cases where the capability of the parents and families is clearly established, the reunification process can proceed without delay. In more complex situations, intervention programmes will be implemented to ensure the children’s and families’ best interests are safeguarded “The ultimate goal is to reunite these children with their families. However, before this can happen, several factors need to be carefully evaluated. This is not about denying anyone’s rights, but about ensuring the best interests of the children are upheld,” Nancy said during a minister’s briefing session on GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) in the Dewan Rakyat today. As of yesterday, 560 children – 283 boys and 277 girls – had been placed in safe custody after the Social Welfare Department (JKM) obtained a temporary court custody order for two months under Section 25(2)(a) of the Child Act 2001. Meanwhile, Nancy said the Task Force Profiling Team for Op Global found that 94.3 per cent of the 558 profiled children had at least one living biological parent, while 5.7 per cent had no parents or no available information on their parents. Health assessments showed that 51.6 per cent of the children were underweight, falling below the healthy Body Mass Index (BMI), while 46.1 per cent had a normal weight and the remaining children were classified as obese, she added. “Three children have been issued persons with disabilities (PwD) cards, while 27 others display symptoms of disability,” she added. Cognitive assessments were also conducted on 385 children aged seven and above, with 71.9 per cent (277 children) showing no signs of cognitive disorders, she said. “However, 20.26 per cent (78 children) displayed moderate cognitive disorders, while 7.79 per cent (30 children) were found to have severe cognitive impairments,” Nancy said.

Police have started investigating companies linked to GISBH overseas - Saifuddin Nasution

KUALA LUMPUR: The police (PDRM) have initiated investigations into companies linked to GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH), which are operating overseas. Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail acknowledged the challenges of extending investigations beyond Malaysia’s borders but confirmed that PDRM have already reached out to authorities in 18 countries where these companies are believed to be active. “The police have taken steps to contact these countries using mutual legal agreements (MLA) to facilitate cooperation,” he said during a briefing on the GISBH issue at the Dewan Rakyat today. Earlier reports indicated that PDRM had identified 23 properties owned by GISBH in 10 countries, with an estimated value RM52.4 million. Saifuddin Nasution also said that 15 cases have been brought before courts nationwide, with trial dates pending. He highlighted a case of child abuse linked to the investigation, where the accused pleaded guilty and received a 10-year prison sentence. “There have been numerous breaches of the law, and it is imperative that we conduct the investigation thoroughly and with full accountability, allowing the legal process to unfold as it should. “I want to make it clear that there is no political motive behind the government’s handling of this case. The fact remains, crimes against children have occurred,” he said.

Malaysia should seize opportunity in global medical devices market - Chang

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian innovators and manufacturers should seize the opportunity to tap into the immense potential of the global medical devices industry, which is projected to reach nearly US$800 billion by 2030, says Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) Minister Chang Lih Kang. Chang noted that Malaysia had many high-quality products and innovators in the medical devices sector, with the government continuously encouraging and supporting industry players in research and development (R&D) and commercialisation efforts. “The market is vast, and we have plenty of room for success. To support R&D, of course, not limited to the medical devices industry, MOSTI offers various funding facilities, grants, matching grants, and equity where we invest in relevant startups,” he said. Chang said this to reporters after officiating the soft launch of INNOMed: Innovation Pitching Powered by PERANTIM, a key event in the International Medical Device Exhibition & Conference (IMDEC) 2024. Also present were Medical Device Authority (MDA) chief executive officer Dr P. Muralitharan, Malaysia Medical Devices Manufacturers Association (PERANTIM) president Johari Abu Kasim, and organising chairman of INNOMed, Dr Hyzan Mohd Yusof. Earlier in his speech, Chang said that under Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, the government aimed to foster synergies between the manufacturing and engineering sectors and the medical devices sector. This includes creating advanced inspection tools, solutions for imaging and endoscopy, implantable devices, and minimally invasive surgical tools. Meanwhile, Muralitharan told Bernama that, according to figures from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), Malaysia’s total trade in medical devices, valued at RM25.61 billion from January to July this year, increased by 23.5 per cent compared to the same period in 2023 (RM20.74 billion). He added that the export of medical devices was valued at RM20.15 billion, an increase of 25.7 per cent compared to RM16.02 billion in 2023. In his speech, Dr Hyzan said that medical device innovation presented an opportunity to improve healthcare while boosting the economy, with the industry projected to reach nearly US$2 billion by 2025, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors. “By focusing on innovation, we can create high-skilled jobs, reduce our dependence on imported technologies, and position Malaysia as a global leader. Last year, we spent US$5 billion on medical devices, with 95 per cent being imports. Our goal is to reduce this to 50 per cent within five years,” he said. He also emphasised that close collaboration among universities, innovators, manufacturers, clinicians, and government agencies was key to ensuring that ideas and research transitioned smoothly from laboratories to clinical applications and into the hands of healthcare providers. INNOMed, themed “Unleashing the Power of Medical Technology: Shaping the Future of Healthcare,“ is organised by the MDA and will take place from Dec 10 to 12 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).

Govt to build more reservoirs as part of flood mitigation plans - Fadillah Yusof

KUALA LUMPUR: The government plans to build more reservoirs as part of its short and long-term flood mitigation plans, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. He said the new reservoirs would reduce the risk of flash floods especially in Kuala Lumpur. “The plan is already in place. It’s just that we plan according to the available financial capabilities and we implement what we have as much as possible,“ he told reporters after the Asia New Economic Summit 2024 here today. Fadillah, who is also the Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, said most of the water reservoirs will be built in Kuala Lumpur under the supervision of the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL). “There are ongoing projects. But there is one project involving design and contractor problems and this affects our planning. We have to see how our recovery plan is to speed up any project that is delayed due to contractor failure,“ he said. An unusually high and continuous rainfall from 8.30 am this morning in Kuala Lumpur caused major rivers, including Sungai Batu, Sungai Klang, and Sungai Gombak, to overflow, which led to flooding in several areas. According to DBKL today, 60mm of rain was recorded during this time, which was well above average.

Kelana Jaya LRT route disruption: Rapid Rail restoring service

KUALA LUMPUR: Repair works are being carried out following a service disruption on the Kelana Jaya LRT Line, involving the track between Wangsa Maju and Sri Rampai Stations, which was caused by an unusual flow of rainwater that damaged several track components, said Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd (Rapid Rail). Rapid Rail as the operator of the Rapid KL rail service in a statement said that the incident occurred at 10.20 am which forced the operation to stop the power supply in the area involved to allow inspection and repair work to be carried out. “Repair works are being actively carried out by Rapid Rail’s technical team to ensure that services can be restored soon,“ according to the statement. For now, a feeder service has been activated between Gombak Station and Wangsa Maju Station. Trains from the direction of Putra Heights will turn back at Wangsa Maju Station. A total of 12 free feeder buses at a frequency of every 15 minutes are operating to ensure that passengers can continue their journey. “We hope that this repair work can be completed before the evening peak hour,“ said Rapid Rail. In addition, operation staff and auxiliary police personnel have been stationed at the stations involved to help facilitate the movement of affected passengers. Continuous announcements on the development of service status will be delivered through Rapid KL’s social media, at all stations, and on trains. Rapid Rail also informed that the latest development of service status will be announced at 3 pm. “Passengers are advised to plan their journeys and refer to Rapid KL’s social media to get the latest information on the service status of the Kelana Jaya LRT Line,“ said the statement. For more information, the public can contact Rapid Rail’s communications officer, Noor Natasha Mohd Irwan at 013-332 2900. Several roads in Kuala Lumpur were flooded following the continuous heavy rain that started at about 9 this morning.

12,519 cases under Weights and Measures Act recorded as of September - KPDN

SHAH ALAM: A total of 12,519 cases involving offences under the Weights and Measures Act (ATS) 1972 were recorded by the enforcement division of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) nationwide from 2020 to September this year. KPDN deputy-director of Enforcement (Prevention) Aris Mamat said the statistics reflected the ministry’s ongoing and proactive efforts to ensure that traders adhered to the integrity of weights and measures in buying and selling for the benefit of consumers. “KPDN is committed to protecting consumers and consistently ensuring that traders adhere to established standards. Those found to have committed irregularities or non-compliance will not evade strict enforcement actions. “A violation of the provisions under the ATS 1972 could result in a maximum fine of RM40,000, imprisonment for up to three years, or both, and the court may also order the forfeiture of the weighing instrument,” he said today. He said this after heading a team of 20 KPDN enforcement officers to perform spot checks at three petrol stations around Kuala Selangor to ensure that the fuel charged to consumers matched the amount supplied through pump dispensers. Elaborating, Aris said that the ATS 1972 enforcement compliance inspections at petrol stations led to actions against the misuse of subsidised diesel fuel under Ops Tiris, resulting in the seizure of diesel valued at approximately RM16.5 million from January to September this year. “This brings the total amount of diesel seized from 2020 to 2024 to RM52.68 million,” he said. Commenting on today’s operation, Aris said that it focused on several key aspects, including the accuracy of oil pumps and meters, testing the volume of fuel dispensed, and reviewing the maintenance records of weighing and measuring equipment. He added that checks revealed all the petrol stations involved complied with the weighing and measuring regulations set. “Regarding the enforcement actions under the ATS 1972 in Selangor, we recorded a total of 283 cases from January to September last year, with confiscated items amounting to RM2.6 million,” he said.

Court sets Nov 26 for mention of travel agency manager charged with attempting to kill wife at KLIA

SEPANG: The Sessions Court here today set Nov 26 for mention of a case involving a travel agency manager charged with attempting to murder his wife and causing severe injuries to her bodyguard. Judge Amir Affendy Hamzah set the date after lawyer Nik Azim Azlan, representing Hafizul Hawari, 38, requested a date for the defence to examine the documents including the chemical report submitted by the prosecution. On April 25 this year, Hafizul was charged with attempting to murder his wife, Farah Md Isa, 38, at the Arrival Hall, Level 3, Terminal 1, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at 1.09 am on April 14. He was charged under Section 307 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum imprisonment of 10 years and a fine, upon conviction. If the act causes injuries, the jail term may be extended to 20 years. He is also charged with voluntarily causing grievous hurt to his wife’s bodyguard, Mohd Nur Hadith Zaini, 38, with a firearm that could have caused death, at the same location, date, and time. The charge, framed under Section 326 of the Penal Code, provides a maximum imprisonment of 20 years, a fine or whipping, upon conviction.

Ampang Jaya district police chief ACP Mohd Azam Ismail said all residents who were affected by the incident were ordered to evacuate to the Multipurpose Hall in Jalan E5 Taman Melawati for the time being.
