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.

Bitget and SlowMist Map Emerging Security Risks as AI Agents Begin Executing Trades
VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 24 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has collaborated with blockchain security firm SlowMist, to release a joint research report examining the risks emerging as AI systems begin executing trades autonomously. As trading enters this “agentic” phase, where systems move beyond analysis into action, a new category of risk is taking shape, one that traditional security models were not designed to address.
The report highlights a fundamental shift that once AI moves from advisory roles into execution, errors and exploits are no longer isolated events. They can trigger immediate, irreversible financial outcomes. In crypto markets, where transactions settle instantly, a compromised or misdirected agent can act faster than human intervention allows.
“AI is no longer just interpreting markets, it's participating,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “That changes the nature of risk entirely. The question is no longer how intelligent these systems are, but how safely they are allowed to operate.”
According to the research, agent-based systems introduce new attack surfaces across multiple layers, from model inputs to execution pathways. Prompt injection can influence decision-making, malicious plugins can alter behavior and over-permissioned APIs can expose capital to unintended actions. These risks are compounded by the always-on nature of autonomous agents, which operate continuously without direct user oversight.
Rather than treating these as isolated vulnerabilities, the report frames them as systemic. Security in the agentic era must extend beyond application-level safeguards into the architecture of how AI systems interact with capital.
Bitget’s approach reflects this shift. The platform separates intelligence, execution, and asset authorization into distinct layers, reducing the likelihood that any single point of failure can trigger unintended trades. Permissions are structured around least-privilege access, with transaction simulation and verification processes introduced before execution is finalized. These controls are designed to ensure that even as AI agents operate autonomously, their scope remains defined and constrained.
SlowMist’s analysis reinforces the need for a closed-loop security model, where risks are addressed before, during, and after execution. Continuous monitoring, bounded permissions, and verifiable transaction flows form the foundation of this framework, moving security from a reactive process to an embedded system design.
The findings point to a broader reality where AI agents become more integrated into trading, asset management, and on-chain activity; the boundary between user intent and system execution becomes increasingly abstract. In this environment, reliability is no longer determined solely by performance, but by how well systems can operate within controlled limits.
Within Bitget’s UEX model, where crypto assets, derivatives, and tokenized traditional instruments coexist, this shift carries wider implications. As financial activity becomes more automated and interconnected, infrastructure must be designed not only for speed and access, but for containment and resilience. The joint report serves as a reference point for platforms, developers, and users navigating this transition, highlighting that the next phase of financial innovation will depend as much on secure execution as it does on intelligent systems.

MENLO LAUNCHES FIRST BROWSER SECURITY PLATFORM FOR AI AGENT-DRIVEN ENTERPRISES
KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 (Bernama) -- Menlo Security, the leader in human and agentic Browser Security, has unveiled the first Browser Security Platform purpose-built to secure the agentic enterprise, where autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents will outnumber human employees and the browser has become the operating system for both.
Menlo in a statement said the platform provides the first unified control plane that applies machine-speed governance and threat prevention to both human and AI actors, deployed globally on Menlo’s elastic cloud infrastructure.
“By moving protection directly into the browser session, we are enabling organisations to deploy AI agents that work at a scale and speed impossible for humans without opening the door to catastrophic prompt injection or data exfiltration.
“Without this protection, a single compromised AI agent can move laterally across enterprise systems, exfiltrate data, or execute fraudulent transactions at machine speed, with no human in the loop,” said Menlo Security Chief Executive Officer, Bill Robbins.
This launch follows a record fiscal year for Menlo, which surpassed US$140 million in annual recurring revenue with net retention exceeding 120 per cent, alongside a strategic partnership with Google to provide least-privileged remote access to desktop applications and data via the browser for both humans and AI agents. (US$1=RM3.93)
The Menlo Browser Security Platform provides Menlo AI Agent Security that enforces instruction-data separation to ensure agents never mistake malicious data for legitimate commands and are unable to exfiltrate sensitive data.
It also facilitates secure access to applications and data, sanitising inputs so agents can safely replicate human workflows. With least-privileged agent governance, the platform enforces granular controls to prevent autonomous agents from moving laterally or accessing unauthorised data.
By embedding security directly into the browser session, it creates “Architectural Immunity”, neutralising evasive threats before they reach AI agents or human endpoints and providing a unified trust layer for the enterprise.
