​AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of DB Insurance Co., Ltd.

HONG KONG, July 16 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A+ (Superior) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “aa-” (Superior) of DB Insurance Co., Ltd. (DBI) (South Korea). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. 

The ratings reflect DBI’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, favourable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. 

DBI’s risk-adjusted capitalisation is assessed at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), including credit for hybrid securities. DBI’s strong capability of internal capital generation, financial flexibility and tight asset-liability management allows the company’s capital to stay resilient amid an unfavourable business environment, such as volatile interest rate movements. In AM Best’s view, the company had a positive adjusted financial leverage ratio of 11.9% at year-end 2025, which includes equity credit for hybrid securities, and strong interest coverage for 2025. While the acquisition of The Fortegra Group, Inc. (Fortegra), completed in May 2026, could potentially weigh on risk-adjusted capitalisation, AM Best views DBI as having a sufficient capital buffer to absorb the impact, and expects the company to recover through strong earnings generation. 

AM Best assesses DBI’s operating performance as strong, underpinned by continued double-digit return-on-equity, supported by a combined ratio that generally outperforms its domestic peers and robust investment profits. AM Best expects the recent decrease in overall underwriting profitability to be manageable, following various mitigative measures in each business line including active rate adjustments and tightened underwriting discipline. In particular, the company’s large contractual service margin will continue to provide a stable source of underwriting income in the long-term insurance line. Prospectively, the acquisition of Fortegra is expected to provide a moderate uplift to DBI’s overall earnings. 

DBI remains one of the leading non-life insurers in South Korea, with a market share of about 19% in terms of insurance service revenue in 2025. The company benefits from a strong brand in its domestic market and its diversified product offerings, including long-term, auto and general insurances. Its profile is strengthened further by the life insurance business through its subsidiary, DB Life Insurance Co., Ltd. In addition, the acquisition of Fortegra is expected to bring geographic and product diversification to DBI, bolstering its international growth strategy and supporting its long-term positioning in the U.S. market. 

Negative rating actions could occur if DBI shows a sustained deterioration in its operating performance to a level that no longer supports the current strong assessment. Negative rating actions also could occur if there is a significant deterioration in the company’s balance sheet strength fundamentals. Although unlikely in the medium term, positive rating actions could occur if DBI demonstrates an unquestionable market leadership position with high brand recognition in both domestic and overseas markets, while maintaining strong profitability. 

Ratings are communicated to rated entities prior to publication. Unless stated otherwise, the ratings were not amended subsequent to that communication.

Abaxx Approves CIX As Custodian For Carbon Futures Contract

KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 (Bernama) -- Abaxx Technologies Inc announced that Climate Impact X (CIX), a global environmental markets exchange, has been approved as an eligible custodian for Abaxx Exchange’s carbon futures contracts.

Participants taking delivery under these contracts can now hold their credits with CIX, giving them an additional route to manage post-trade activity.

Abaxx Exchange Chief Commercial Officer, Joe Raia said market participants need clearer ways to price carbon exposure before they trade and more efficient ways to manage credits after they do.

“Abaxx carbon futures are designed to provide a transparent, exchange-traded price signal, and CIX’s approval as an eligible custodian expands the post-trade choices available to participants taking delivery under those contracts,” added Raia in a statement.

Environmental markets remain fragmented, with carbon credits held across multiple registries, creating operational complexity and added cost for companies moving assets between markets.

With CIX as an approved custodian, clients can use its omnibus custodial service and multi-registry connectivity to hold, transfer and retire credits delivered under Abaxx carbon futures alongside credits from their own spot market activities. The arrangement provides greater flexibility, enhances trading efficiency and reduces the need to maintain multiple service provider accounts or relationships.

The arrangement was first utilised on July 1 to facilitate the transfer and delivery of 120 lots under Abaxx’s CORSIA Phase One futures contract, with each lot representing 100 CORSIA Eligible Emissions Units (EEUs).

The arrangement covers Abaxx's Jurisdictional REDD+ and CORSIA Phase One futures contracts and forms part of CIX's ongoing efforts to build the market infrastructure needed to scale participation. CIX is currently connected to 12 registries, with plans to expand further.

EIG'S MIDOCEAN SECURES US$1.13 BLN INVESTMENT FROM PRIVATE DEPARTMENT

Private Department of Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalid Al Nahyan Invests in MidOcean Energy and Forms Strategic Partnership with EIG

KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 (Bernama) -- EIG, an institutional investor in the global energy and infrastructure sectors, announced that its liquefied natural gas (LNG) company, MidOcean Energy (MidOcean), has secured a US$1.13 billion investment from the Private Department of Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalid Al Nahyan (Private Department). (US$1=RM4.07)

The Private Department also established a strategic partnership with EIG, focusing on capital aggregation, investment origination and the development of institutional investment opportunities in the United Arab Emirates and selected regional markets.

EIG in a statement said the investment marks the Private Department's entry into the global LNG sector and the beginning of a broader strategic relationship with the company.

Through the partnership, both parties intend to collaborate on future investment opportunities across the energy and related infrastructure sectors.

LYB, MONDELEZ TURN PLASTIC WASTE INTO CHOCOLATE WRAPPERS

KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 (Bernama) -- Global chemical company, LyondellBasell (LYB) has introduced an innovative flexible packaging solution for Marabou chocolate bars, developed in collaboration with Mondelez International, Amcor, Taghleef Industries and other industry players.

Using LYB CirculenRevive polymers with 100 per cent attributed recycled content through an ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance approach, Mondelez is now able to offer packaging made from 75 per cent recycled content.

According to LYB in a statement, the solution helps transform hard-to-recycle post-consumer mixed plastic waste into high-quality materials suitable for food packaging.

“Our collaboration with Mondelez illustrates our shared vision for the future and highlights our ability to provide innovative, high-quality circular solutions tailored to demanding specifications.

“We are committed to making circular and low-carbon solutions work for businesses while creating solutions for everyday sustainable living,” said LYB executive vice president, Sustainable Solutions and Technology Business, Yvonne van der Laan.

As part of its circular solutions strategy, LYB plans to supply future polymers for Marabou packaging through MoReTec-1, its first commercial-scale catalytic chemical recycling plant under construction in Wesseling, Germany.

Once operational, the facility will strengthen access to circular feedstock within LYB's integrated ecosystem, connecting advanced sorting and recycling infrastructure with the company's existing crackers and polymerisation assets.

MoReTec-1 is designed to produce 50,000 metric tonnes of feedstock annually for use in LYB's existing production units, enabling the manufacture of recycled polymers.

The collaboration brings together companies across the packaging value chain, with LYB supplying the circular polymers, Taghleef Industries producing the base film, and Amcor converting the material into the final flexible packaging solution for Mondelez.

LYB said the initiative reflects growing demand from brand owners for high-performance circular polymers that support recycled-content targets while meeting the quality requirements for flexible food packaging.

8X8 BAGS 2026 METRISTAR TOP PROVIDER FOR CPAAS BY METRIGY

KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 (Bernama) -- Global business communications platform provider, 8x8 Inc has been named a 2026 MetriStar Top Provider for Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) by Metrigy, an independent research and advisory firm.

The CPaaS recognition is part of a broader result in Metrigy’s 2026 MetriStar Award programme, with 8x8 also receiving the MetriStar Top Provider recognition for Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS).

“Most of the companies we work with are not just looking for a messaging API; they need the whole chain: campaign management, AI, analytics, and a contact centre that talks to all of it.

“This recognition from Metrigy validates our approach helping organisations improve customer satisfaction, drive growth, and simplify operations at scale,” said 8x8 General Manager, CPaaS, Sylvain Chaperon in a statement.

The awards are based on Metrigy’s Customer Experience MetriCast 2026 study, which surveyed 1,437 customer experience (CX) leaders across 10 countries in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

8x8 achieved above-average scores on both business success and customer sentiment, with particular strength in CSAT improvement, revenue growth, platform reliability, and no-code/low-code application quality.

Metrigy highlighted 8x8's integrated communications portfolio as a key differentiator, noting that the company is among a small number of vendors offering CPaaS, CCaaS, and Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) within a single platform.

The research also highlighted 8x8's approach to treating CPaaS not as a standalone developer toolkit but as a programmable layer across the CX stack, expanding customer engagement capabilities beyond the contact centre to sales, field service, and frontline teams.

From Crypto to Gold: UEX Launches First Cross-Asset Trading Tournament

VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 2 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched the UEX Futures League, a new trading competition that brings crypto and traditional financial markets into a single competitive format. Spanning two months and two asset classes, the league creates a unified pathway from online qualification to the UEX Global Alpha Tournament (GAT), an invitation-only live championship event.

Most trading competitions today focus on a single market, whether crypto, forex, or CFDs. Yet trading itself has become increasingly cross-asset, with traders moving between cryptocurrencies, commodities, indices, and currencies as opportunities emerge. The UEX Futures League is built around that reality, allowing participants to compete across multiple markets through one account, one competition structure, and one route to the finals.

The competition begins with a Crypto Futures stage running from June 1 to June 30, followed by a CFD stage from July 1 to July 31. Each stage features a prize pool of 120,000 USDT and uses a captain-led team format where participants compete on ROI while representing their teams. The top eight teams from each stage will qualify for the UEX Global Alpha Tournament.

“Trading has always been competitive, but it's also one of the most social parts of our industry,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “The UEX Futures League brings those elements together by turning trading into a team experience where users can collaborate and represent their communities. By bringing crypto and traditional markets into a single competition, we're creating something that's not just about performance, but about the people and connection that make trading so engaging.”

The UEX Global Alpha Tournament will bring together 16 qualifying teams, each represented by their top three traders, for an all-expenses-paid trip to a secret destination. Teams will compete in a series of live trading rounds for a grand prize, transforming online performance into a live championship experience. By combining crypto, CFDs, team-based competition, and live finals, UEX introduces a new format that draws inspiration from esports while reflecting how modern traders increasingly operate across multiple asset classes.

The league serves as a practical showcase of UEX's broader vision, where crypto, commodities, foreign exchange products, indices, and other global markets exist within a unified trading environment. Rather than introducing users to these markets through tutorials or demonstrations, the competition allows participants to explore them through real trading activity and competition.

Registration for the UEX Futures League is now open. For more information, visit here.

NINE FUNDS EARN PERFECT SCORES IN GLOBAL SWF GSR SCOREBOARD

KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 (Bernama) -- Global SWF has published the seventh edition of its Governance, Sustainability, and Resilience (GSR) Scoreboard, with nine institutions achieving perfect scores in the 2026 assessment of state-owned investors.

“We are very satisfied with the increasing response and accountability of sovereign investors, which recognise the importance of adopting best practices and embracing change and evolution.

“This year, the nine perfect scorers from around the world demonstrated robustness and hardiness in the context of geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility,” said Global SWF Founder and Managing Director, Diego López in a statement.

The annual assessment covers the world's 200 largest sovereign wealth funds and public pension funds, which manage US$34.0 trillion on behalf of 76 countries, and is based on 25 governance, sustainability and resilience indicators using publicly available information. (US$1=RM4.07)

This year's edition introduced three revised indicators to reflect the growing importance of relative financial performance, carbon emissions reporting, and the adoption of and investment in artificial intelligence (AI).

On a like-for-like basis, the average GSR score across the 200 funds edged up to 60 per cent, with sustainability and resilience scores improving while governance, including transparency, remained unchanged.

Governments worldwide, including those in deficit economies, continue to establish new strategic investment vehicles, underscoring the importance of promoting industry best practices and strong institutional role models.

Nearly two-thirds of the assessed funds have adopted or invested in AI, with half reporting their first AI-related initiatives during the past 12 months. Institutions in Oceania recorded the strongest performance, followed by Europe and North America, while Asian funds scored just above the overall threshold.

Global SWF is an industry specialist that promotes greater understanding of state-owned investors through its data platform, research reports, consulting services, executive education programmes and industry events.

ATON LAUNCHES AI-POWERED FAMILY SAFETY PLATFORM AMID BULLYING CONCERNS

KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 (Bernama) -- ATON Inc has launched FamGuard, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered family safety platform designed to help parents monitor children's digital activities and identify potential signs of online risks, as concerns over school bullying and cyberbullying continue to grow in Singapore.

The launch comes amid heightened public attention to child safety following the widely reported Sengkang Green Primary School bullying case, which sparked broader discussions on student protection and the early identification of behavioural warning signs.

ATON said FamGuard combines real-time location tracking with AI-powered Conversation Insights and Friend Scoring to help parents better understand changes in their children's communication patterns and social interactions, enabling earlier conversations when unusual behaviour is detected.

“Technology cannot replace parents, but it can help families stay connected earlier and start conversations sooner,” an ATON representative said in a statement.

The platform also offers parental control features, including Screen Time Management, App Usage Monitoring and App Controls, to help families encourage healthier digital habits and oversee smartphone usage.

The company said growing use of messaging applications, social media and online group interactions has broadened expectations for family safety services beyond location tracking to include greater visibility into children's digital environments and behavioural patterns.

The launch follows research indicating that one in four upper primary school students in Singapore has experienced bullying, while many parents remain concerned about children's exposure to cyberbullying and other online risks.

ATON said FamGuard was developed to support families seeking additional tools to strengthen digital safety while complementing parental engagement and communication.

CIRCEUS LAUNCHES WITH EBRD EQUITY INVESTMENT

KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 (Bernama) -- Circeus, an artificial intelligence (AI)-native holding company, has launched with an equity investment from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), alongside participation from other investors.

According to a statement, the launch introduces Circeus as the group's holding company brand, reflecting the broader business-to-business (B2B) software portfolio with AI embedded across its operations.

The investment will help expand its central AI engineering capability and support future acquisitions. The group has completed 18 acquisitions over the past four years and serves more than 200,000 businesses worldwide.

“As AI evolves software from passive tools into systems that act and execute, the addressable market for technology is expanding several-fold. We are building the platform to capture this shift.

“We were not running a fundraising process, as we are profitable and well capitalised, but we chose to make space for EBRD given their institutional standing and to lean further into a market that presents several attractive opportunities,” said Circeus Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Luca Cartechini.

Meanwhile, EBRD investor Bruno Lusic said the bank is backing Circeus as it brings AI to mission-critical software, adding that the company's long-term growth model aligns with the EBRD's investment mandate.

Circeus grows through a repeatable acquisition model, acquiring software businesses and integrating them into a central AI capability that embeds AI into products, automates operations, and reuses infrastructure, data, and insights across its portfolio.

The company said founders who sell their businesses to Circeus retain their brands, teams, and customer relationships while gaining access to the group's AI engineering, growth expertise, and centralised back-office support.

Looking ahead, Circeus aims to accelerate AI adoption by embedding advanced AI capabilities into the mission-critical software used by businesses across multiple industries.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 29 (Bernama) -- Mavenir, the software company building cloud-native, artificial intelligence (AI)-by-design mobile networks, has won the Deutsche Telekom Partner of the Year Award for Best Network Innovation.

The recognition underscores Mavenir’s pivotal role in the Most Energy Efficient Core (MeeC) initiative, a flagship collaboration with Deutsche Telekom built on its Horizontal TelCo Cloud, the company’s own cloud architecture and a blueprint for the telecommunications industry.

Launched in 2025, MeeC applies advanced AI-driven traffic analysis and predictive workload optimisation to identify and eliminate energy waste across 5G Core functions without compromising network performance or service quality.

The project demonstrated that significant energy reductions are achievable at a commercial scale in live network environments. Its key achievements include AI-powered traffic prediction and real-time scaling, dynamic workload consolidation across cloud-native functions, and proven deployment in a live Tier-1 production network.

Presented by Deutsche Telekom's senior leadership at the Telekom Campus Fair 2026, the Telekom Partner Awards recognise outstanding contributions by the company's partners in network technology, operations and sustainability.

• Go Further - 10-km/kWh economy,
• Drive Cleaner - a life cycle 10-tonne CO2e footprint

The Triple 10 Challenge is the first road-worthy vehicle to have successfully demonstrated the potential of a simplified, single-circuit cooling architecture to efficiently manage the thermal load of the car’s entire powertrain, even under the most extreme fast-charging scenario in real-world conditions. 

Cara Tredget, VP Mobility & Lubricants Technology for Shell, said:
“With the Triple 10 Challenge concept car, we have unlocked the potential for faster charging, lighter systems and improved lifecycle efficiency by using our advanced thermal fluids. Together with our co-engineering partners, we are proud to develop alternative options for sustainable EV development leveraging technologies that are available today and are scalable to support customers into the future”. 

The Shell Triple 10 Challenge Concept car has been designed to achieve 10 km/kWh in driving economy with a smaller, more efficient battery system, adding over 30% improvement in overall energy efficiency compared to many current-generation EVs, enabled by Shell’s advanced thermal fluids that provide optimal thermal management. 

The Triple 10 Challenge vehicle is able to charge the battery from 10% to 80% charge in 9 minutes 54 seconds, without compromise to thermal stability or lifespan. While some EVs in market today can charge in under 10 minutes, this requires using an ultra-fast charger in excess of 300kW, which is uncommon on the public charging network. However, the Triple 10 Challenge vehicle is able to attain this on the existing charging network infrastructure using a standard 175kW charger, adding 24km/minute range, compared to typical BEVs at an average 13km/minute range on the same charger – equivalent to almost 90% more range added per minute of charge. 

The Triple 10 Challenge concept car is estimated to have a lifecycle carbon footprint of approximately 10 tonnes CO2e1. Enabled by its lightweight design, optimized battery capacity, low-carbon and recyclable materials, together with 100% renewable electricity for vehicle charging, this is estimated to represent around a 50% reduction in lifecycle emissions compared to typical battery electric vehicles in the European market2. 

The Technology: Immersive Thermal Management 

The key to the Triple 10 Challenge car’s performance is Shell Recharge thermal fluid. Unlike traditional cooling systems that use water-glycol, Shell’s dielectric fluid allows for direct immersion cooling of the battery and powertrain components including the motor and power electronics. By redefining heat management across the battery and powertrain, the team has unlocked the potential for faster charging, lighter systems and improved lifecycle efficiency – using technologies that exist and can scale today, as we look to leading in this space in our business tomorrow. 

Unveiled at HORIBA MIRA’s proving ground, the concept car is the culmination of Shell’s Triple 10 Challenge. By incorporating a more compact and efficient battery pack design with fewer modules and using Shell’s advanced thermal fluid, enabling a simplified housing architecture, these improvements contribute to about a 25% reduction in overall battery pack cost compared to a conventional EV. 

Furthermore, Shell today announced the integration of Shell’s full EV capabilities together under Shell Recharge – from charging, to fluids, to battery solutions, to create a stronger, single end-to-end offer for both B2B and B2C EV customers. As part of this, the Shell EV-Plus brand will be retired. 

Notes to editors 

About the Triple 10 Challenge partners 

The Shell Triple 10 Challenge Concept Car is a demonstration of the potential of immersive fluid technology and a showcase of British co-engineering excellence. Shell worked alongside leading automotive pioneers to integrate the Shell Recharge thermal fluid and maximise the performance of the car. Partners included:

• RML: Spearheaded the battery pack architecture and high-performance integration. RML’s engineering utilised Shell’s dielectric fluid to strip out the heavy, complex piping required by traditional water-glycol systems, successfully shrinking the pack and reducing overall vehicle mass.
   
• Empel Systems: Developed the advanced electric motor and drive units. By leveraging the highly efficient single-circuit immersive cooling, Empel was able to significantly downsize the motors while maintaining exceptional power density and contributing to the 10-km/kWh efficiency target.
   
• HORIBA MIRA: Conducted world-class vehicle integration, testing and validation. Utilising their state-of-the-art VTEOS (Vehicle Thermal and Electrical Optimisation System) rig, HORIBA MIRA validated the single-fluid architecture's efficacy, subjecting the system to simulated extreme global weather conditions – proving its backwards compatibility with standard radiators.
   

Shell’s Heritage in Ultra-Efficient Vehicle Innovation 

The Shell Triple 10 Challenge Concept Car is the latest in Shell’s rich heritage of developing and advancing ultra-efficient vehicle concepts. Shell’s track record includes Project M, developed in 2016 as an ultra-efficient city car concept focused on addressing the challenges of mass mobility. In commercial transport, Shell’s Starship programme has continued to push the boundaries of freight efficiency since 2018 through successive generations of highly fuel-efficient Class 8 trucks. Most recently, Shell partnered with China’s largest truck manufacturer, FAW, to equip the latest Starship vehicle with an advanced hybrid battery incorporating Shell’s immersive thermal cooling fluid. Shell’s pioneering legacy of efficient mobility innovation extends back to the Shell Eco-marathon, which for more than four decades has provided a global platform for students to design, build and test some of the world’s most energy-efficient vehicles.

Shell’s net carbon intensity 

Also, in this [report] we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries. 

Shell’s net-zero emissions target 

Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our combined Scope 1 and 2 target, NCI target and our oil products ambition over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target. 

Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures 

This [report] may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as [free cash flow] and [underlying operating expenses]. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements. 

The contents of websites referred to in this [report] do not form part of this [report].

We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this [report] that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.

1 The Triple 10 Challenge concept vehicle has been developed to demonstrate what is technically achievable under optimized conditions. These conditions include the use of 100% renewable electricity vehicle charging over the 200,000 km lifetime of the vehicle via the Shell Recharge network in the UK, powered by certified renewable electricity. The results are derived from a Shell internal life cycle assessment in line with ISO 14040 &14044 standards drawing on emission factor data from component suppliers and manufacturers, recognized LCA databases and literature publications. Actual results may vary under real-world conditions.
2 The indicated reduction in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions relative to typical battery electric vehicles is based on a comparison with a published life cycle assessment study conducted by Ricardo in 2023 for the European Commission and assuming the same vehicle lifetime of 200,000 km. Differences in underlying methodological assumptions and vehicle specifications (including vehicle size and battery capacity), as well as use-phase conditions mean that the emissions reduction should be regarded as indicative only. Actual outcomes may vary in real-world applications.

Bitget Upgrades CFD Copy Trading With Personalized Risk Controls

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 25 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has introduced major upgrades to its CFD Copy Trading system, giving followers greater control over risk management through new position sizing models, independent take-profit and stop-loss settings, and advanced exposure controls.

Copy trading has become one of the most popular ways for users to participate in financial markets, allowing traders to replicate the strategies of experienced market participants. However, as adoption has grown, many users have encountered challenges associated with traditional copy trading models, particularly when differences in risk tolerance and trading style create unintended exposure.

To address these concerns, Bitget’s latest upgrade introduces two new position sizing models. Under Fixed Ratio mode, position sizes are automatically adjusted according to the relative account equity of the follower and the trader being copied, reducing the risks associated with capital mismatches. Fixed Lot mode allows followers to define a predetermined position size for every copied trade, giving users more direct control over their exposure regardless of the trader’s order size.

The update also introduces independent take-profit and stop-loss settings for followers, allowing users to establish personal risk thresholds separate from those of the trader they follow. Once a predefined profit or loss level is reached, positions can be automatically closed based on the follower’s individual settings. Additional controls, including maximum copy lot limits and custom lot multipliers, provide further flexibility for both new and experienced users.

“Copy trading does mean giving up control of your account,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “As users become more sophisticated, they want the ability to benefit from experienced traders while managing risk according to their own objectives. This upgrade shifts copy trading from simple strategy replication toward a more personalized and controlled trading experience.”

The enhancements were developed in response to user feedback and reflect a broader industry shift toward more flexible risk management tools. As traders increasingly participate across crypto and traditional financial markets, demand continues to grow for products that balance accessibility with greater control over capital allocation and risk exposure.

The launch follows Bitget’s continued expansion of its CFD offering within the Universal Exchange ecosystem, which brings together crypto, stocks, commodities, foreign exchange products, and derivatives through a unified trading environment. Earlier this month, Bitget was recognized as the “Best Global Multi-Asset Trading Platform” at the Online Trading Expo, marking the company’s first award in the CFD sector and reflecting growing industry recognition of its multi-asset trading strategy. By strengthening risk management capabilities within copy trading, Bitget continues enhancing the tools and infrastructure available to traders participating across global markets.
