Bitget Challenges the Definition of an Exchange With New Brand Film
VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 26 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has released a new brand film that questions a long-standing assumption in finance: why are markets still fragmented? The brand film introduces its UEX platform, built around the message "Trade Global Alpha in One."
The film presents a unified trading environment where cryptocurrencies, stocks, forex, commodities, and precious metals are accessible through a single, unified account. It reflects a broader evolution in how users engage with markets, as activity increasingly spans multiple asset classes shaped by global macro conditions.
Recent market dynamics have highlighted the interconnected nature of financial assets. Movements in interest rates, commodities, currencies, and equities are increasingly linked, prompting users to look beyond single-market strategies. The brand film captures this shift, positioning Bitget's UEX as an environment designed to support cross-asset participation within one system.
"What an exchange is supposed to look like hasn't been questioned," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "Users are approaching markets differently, they are focused on opportunities across assets, and platforms need to reflect that. What we've built with UEX shows our commitment to bring the TradFi, crypto and universal assets under one roof."
The platform is built around Crypto and TradFi tabs side by side, enabling users to view and access a range of markets without moving between separate accounts or interfaces. Rather than focusing on individual asset classes, the UEX model aligns with a market environment where trading activity increasingly moves across assets in response to shared macro drivers. This approach allows users to respond to developments in one market while maintaining positions in others within the same system.
Within UEX, execution, capital allocation, and risk management are handled through a unified account structure. The film highlights four elements of the UEX experience: visibility across global markets, consistent execution supported by liquidity infrastructure, capital efficiency through a unified margin system, and an integrated ecosystem that includes trading tools and AI-supported features.
The release of the brand film reflects Bitget's expansion beyond traditional exchange models, bringing digital assets and traditional financial instruments into a unified trading environment. It closes with "Get the idea?" — less a tagline, more a quiet challenge to an industry still shaped by legacy assumptions, where the structure of exchanges has yet to catch up with the reality of how markets move.

AM BEST AFFIRMS PANASIA RE RATINGS AT EXCELLENT LEVEL
KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 (Bernama) -- Global credit rating agency, AM Best has affirmed Hawaii’s PanAsia Reinsurance Inc (PanAsia Re) financial strength rating of A- (Excellent) and the long-term issuer credit rating of “a-” (Excellent), with a stable outlook.
The credit ratings (ratings) reflect PanAsia Re’s very strong balance sheet, adequate operating performance, limited business profile, and appropriate enterprise risk management. The assessment also incorporates both implicit and explicit support from its parent, Hikari Tsushin Inc (Hikari Tsushin).
PanAsia Re’s balance sheet strength is underpinned by projected risk-adjusted capitalisation at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio, supported by a significant capital injection from its parent in mid-2025, according to AM Best in a statement.
The company has demonstrated strong capital growth, expanding 102.9 per cent between fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2024, driven by profitable underwriting and capital infusion from the parent. Its low reliance on reinsurance and conservative investment strategy further support its capital position.
Operating performance is assessed as adequate, supported by consistent profitability with double-digit average return on equity and favourable combined ratios over the past five years.
The company’s small amount and short-term insurance (SASTI) segment, which forms the bulk of its portfolio, typically records low loss ratios, although commission expenses to its parent remain relatively high. PanAsia Re is pursuing gradual expansion of its SASTI business while exploring non-SASTI opportunities to diversify its premium base.
PanAsia Re operates under a captive licence, primarily reinsuring risks from affiliated entities, with selective third-party business subject to regulatory approval. Its business profile remains limited due to modest scale and concentration in Japan-originated personal property, health, and accident lines. The company’s risk management framework is closely integrated with that of its parent.
