VICTORIA, Seychelles, Dec 29 (Bernama- GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has rolled out a comprehensive visual and functional upgrade to its mobile app for its 120 million users, further advancing its multi-asset trading experience. The update delivers a universal interface that enables users to access cryptocurrencies, tokenized stocks, onchain assets, and traditional financial markets through a single, cohesive navigation flow.
The upgraded homepage introduces a consolidated market overview, allowing users to view and move between asset classes including crypto, stocks, onchain assets, and TradFi such as gold and indices (limited access) without switching pages or workflows. Asset performance indicators, portfolio value, and market snapshots are now presented within one unified layout, reducing friction for users managing diversified portfolios across multiple markets.
The Stocks section has been redesigned to provide clearer market context and faster decision-making. Users can access sector-based views, real-time price movements, trending equity themes, and an integrated earnings calendar directly from the app. The platform currently supports over 100 onchain stock tokens and more than 30 mainstream stock futures, allowing users to trade leading global equities such as Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, and Alphabet using USDT, without traditional brokerage account requirements. Flexible margin modes and leverage of up to 25x support a range of trading strategies while maintaining consistent capital management across asset classes.
The upgrade also highlights the introduction of the TradFi section, which brings traditional financial markets into the same interface. Users can trade forex pairs, precious metals, commodities, oil, and major indices using USDT as margin, supported by deep liquidity, competitive pricing, and leverage options of up to 500x on selected instruments. The TradFi offering operates under regulatory oversight from the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius, providing structured access to traditional markets while maintaining the operational efficiency familiar to crypto-native users.
“As more asset classes move on chain, the challenge for users is no longer access, but clarity,” said Ignacio Franco, Chief Marketing Officer at Bitget. “This upgrade simplifies how traders discover, evaluate, and act across crypto, tokenized stocks, and traditional markets from a single interface. By reducing fragmentation at the product level, we’re making multi-asset trading more intuitive and aligned with how global investors actually manage capital today.”
The updated interface provides cross-market access, where asset classes are no longer limited by technology or geography. By consolidating crypto-native products, tokenized equities, onchain markets, and traditional financial instruments within a single app experience, Bitget continues to address fragmentation in modern trading workflows.
The latest upgrade aligns with Bitget’s UEX strategy, which centers on unified access, continuous market availability, and capital efficiency across asset classes. Additional enhancements and expanded market coverage are expected to follow as Bitget continues to advance its multi-asset trading infrastructure.

Bitget Closes November with $10B+ Stock Futures Volume and 34K BTC Reserves as UEX Momentum Accelerates
VICTORIA, Seychelles, Dec 26 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has released its November 2025 Transparency Report, highlighting sustained growth across derivatives, onchain infrastructure, payments, and community initiatives as the platform continues to evolve into a fully integrated financial ecosystem.
One of the month’s standout milestones was the rapid scaling of Bitget’s tokenized equity products. Cumulative trading volume for Bitget’s U.S. stock futures surpassed $10 billion, while overall stock futures volume exceeded $5 billion, reflecting strong global demand for crypto-native access to traditional equities. The products allow users to gain synthetic exposure to major stocks through perpetual contracts, extending market access beyond traditional trading hours and reinforcing Bitget’s UEX vision of unifying crypto and traditional financial instruments in a single environment.
On the infrastructure front, Bitget became the first centralized exchange to integrate Morph Chain into its onchain ecosystem. The move expanded Layer-2 access through Bitget Onchain, improving scalability and interoperability while allowing users to interact with emerging blockchain networks directly from Bitget’s interface. The integration underscores Bitget’s focus on simplifying multi-chain participation without compromising transparency or efficiency.
Capital confidence remained a defining theme throughout November. On-chain data from CryptoQuant showed Bitget’s Bitcoin reserves rising to approximately 34,000 BTC by early December, continuing a steady accumulation trend despite heightened market volatility. This growth stood in contrast to broader industry behavior, where total Bitcoin held across centralized exchanges continued to decline, highlighting Bitget’s position as a liquidity destination rather than a transient execution venue. At the same time, industry data compiled by CoinDesk indicated that Bitget maintained around 6.16% of global derivatives market share, placing it firmly among the top four derivatives venues worldwide during a period of macro-driven repositioning across futures markets.
Bitget Wallet also recorded meaningful progress in real-world and onchain usability. The zero-fee crypto card expanded across more than 50 markets in Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific, while new bank transfer rails launched in Nigeria and Mexico, two regions with significant crypto usage and remittance demand. On the yield side, assets held in Bitget Wallet’s self-custodial Earn products surpassed $80 million, supported by strong adoption of stablecoin yield offerings and the rollout of native staking through Bitget-operated validator infrastructure. Gas-free transaction support was further extended to Morph and Sei, bringing the total number of supported networks to seven.
November also saw Bitget publish its “Ask Satoshi” report, analyzing global user interactions with the AI-powered GetAgent feature. The findings offered insight into how users across regions think about Bitcoin’s purpose, regulation, and long-term adoption, while highlighting AI’s growing role as an educational and analytical tool within Bitget’s unified platform.
Beyond products and markets, Bitget continued to pair growth with responsibility. The company supported emergency relief efforts following a major fire in Hong Kong and provided aid to communities affected by the 6.9-magnitude earthquake in northern Cebu, Philippines. At the same time, Bitget strengthened its presence at global events and grassroots initiatives, from the Australia Crypto Convention to the LALIGA Youth Tournament in Southeast Asia, reinforcing its commitment to education, youth engagement, and community building through Blockchain4Youth.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, said: “Our progress this year reflects constant evolution in how we serve our users. From expanding onchain access and tokenized markets to strengthening reserves, payments, and education, every step is about building a more connected and resilient ecosystem. UEX is not a static idea, it’s an ongoing commitment to meet users wherever they are in their financial journey.”
Bitget’s November 2025 Transparency Report underscores how the Universal Exchange model continues to take shape in practice, bringing together crypto assets, tokenized equities, onchain infrastructure, and real-world payments under one cohesive framework. As the year draws to a close, Bitget remains focused on deepening interoperability, maintaining transparency, and advancing a financial ecosystem designed for global participation and long-term trust.

Wuxiang New District, Nanning: Cultivating a Favorable Business Environment to Empower High-Quality Enterprise Development
NANNING, China, Dec. 26, 2025 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--
As the core carrying zone of the "Nanning Channel" for China-ASEAN exchanges and cooperation, Wuxiang New District of Nanning integrates the advantages of multiple national-level opening-up platforms, including the Nanning Area of China (Guangxi) Pilot Free Trade Zone, a national economic and technological development zone, and the core area of the financial opening-up gateway oriented toward ASEAN. Anchoring the main line of high-quality development, the new district has nurtured a fertile ground for business with precision-targeted policy support, stimulated market vitality through service innovation breakthroughs, and propelled enterprises in its jurisdiction to accelerate progress in key sectors, emerging as a robust engine for regional economic growth.
In the electronic information sector, Nanning Chuxin Integrated Circuit Design Co., Ltd. focuses on the R&D and sales of liquid crystal display driver chips. Its independently developed products have achieved mainstream performance in the industry and are widely applied in various electronic display devices such as mobile phones and laptops. Bolstered by the government's precision support policies, the enterprise has not only successfully overcome development bottlenecks including high-end talent recruitment and financing difficulties, but also established a deeply collaborative industrial chain ecosystem with multiple wafer fabs and local enterprises, injecting crucial impetus into strengthening and complementing Guangxi's semiconductor industrial chain. Currently, the enterprise has accumulated 94 intellectual property rights, and its sales volume is projected to exceed 400 million yuan this year.
On the advanced manufacturing track, Guangxi Aige Workshop Home Furnishing Co., Ltd. has completed the intelligent upgrading of its entire production line. Artificial intelligence technology runs through every stage of the production process, which not only significantly improves production efficiency, but also effectively drives employment and income growth for surrounding villagers, and builds a sound and interactive regional industrial ecosystem together with local enterprises.
The cultural industry is brimming with highlights. As the only animation enterprise in Guangxi with a full industrial chain, Nanning Peak Culture Communication Co., Ltd. has created high-quality IPs such as Dolphin Helpers and Princess Amy of Music. These IPs have reached over 80 countries and regions worldwide in 12 languages, with the company holding 9 patents and 43 software copyrights in total. Since 2023, the company has fully transformed into the AIGC track. Its independently built "Ju Xiaobai" AIGC short video series creation platform has initially established a Southeast Asian multimodal corpus, capable of accurately generating short video content that aligns with the cultural characteristics of regions such as Vietnam and Thailand, opening broader channels for Chinese culture to go global.
In the field of artificial intelligence, Wuxiang New District takes the China-ASEAN Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Cooperation Center (South AI Center) as its core carrier, vigorously advancing AI application cooperation with ASEAN, and striving to build an AI industry cooperation hub connecting China and ASEAN. Focusing on key tracks such as intelligent terminals and cross-border digital services, the South AI Center has gathered a number of backbone AI enterprises and innovation teams. By building technology exchange platforms and conducting cross-border joint R&D initiatives, it promotes the precise alignment and in-depth integration of AI technology with the actual needs of ASEAN regions. At present, enterprises in the South AI Center Park have reached multiple cooperation intentions with enterprises from various ASEAN countries, and launched pilot applications in a range of fields. Among them, Jieduanzhe Robotics, a subsidiary of Guangxi Shijiayi Technology Co., Ltd., is the sole joint venture of Zhiyuan Robotics in Guangxi. Leveraging the technological, capital and talent support from its parent company, it is committed to building a benchmark brand of embodied robots rooted in Guangxi, and has become a preferred supplier for product deployment in ASEAN regions.
The continuous optimization and upgrading of the business environment provides a solid guarantee for enterprise development. As a demonstration window for business environment optimization, the South AI Center Park in Wuxiang New District offers customized services such as an approval green channel and special policy support, effectively reducing the costs of enterprise entry and development, and continuously attracting high-quality AI enterprises and cross-border cooperation projects to gather here. The cluster effect of innovation platforms and sci-tech enterprises continues to stand out. Up to now, Wuxiang New District is home to 9 national-level innovation and entrepreneurship platforms and 107 autonomous region-level ones; the number of retained high-tech enterprises has reached 403, and the number of technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises stands at 316.
Looking to the future, Wuxiang New District will continue to focus on cultivating the industrial ecosystem, fully unleash the policy dividends of multiple national-level platforms, deepen digital empowerment and professional service innovation, and continuously expand the broad space for the innovative development of private enterprises. With a higher level of opening-up and a more high-quality business environment, it will fully boost the region's high-quality economic development and inject stronger "Wuxiang momentum" into the construction of the China-ASEAN Community with a Shared Future.

Strengthens Datavault AI’s Leadership in AI-Powered Data Valuation and Real-World Asset (RWA) Tokenization Across Multi-Trillion Dollar Markets
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 23 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Datavault AI Inc. (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DVLT), a pioneer in AI-driven data valuation, monetization, and quantum-encrypted RWA tokenization, today announced the issuance of two key U.S. patents that significantly bolster its intellectual property portfolio in blockchain-based content management and monetization.
The newly issued patents cover groundbreaking systems and methods for secure content licensing and tokenized monetization using blockchain technology and smart contracts:

By combining blockchain immutability with AI-driven valuation and quantum-resistant encryption, Datavault AI is uniquely positioned to tokenize intellectual property, creative content, and data assets as secure RWAs – unlocking fractional ownership, instant settlement, and global liquidity for traditionally illiquid assets.
“The issuance of these patents represents a major milestone in our mission to empower creators and enterprises with trusted, scalable data and content monetization,” said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI Inc. “In an era where digital content and data represent trillions in untapped value, our technologies provide the security, transparency, and automation needed to transform intellectual property into tokenized real-world assets. These patents strengthen our competitive moat and accelerate our leadership in the convergence of AI, blockchain, and RWA tokenization.”
“These patents create significant barriers to entry and robust intellectual property protections for Datavault AI, while also enabling new licensing opportunities. The continued issuance of these patents provides the foundational infrastructure for our Information Data Exchange and forthcoming Elements, NIL, and political exchanges—all built on our exclusive, quantum-secured platform,” stated Joshua Paugh, Chief Intellectual Property Officer of Datavault AI. “This includes quantum chains, quantum-grade encryption, and our unmatched command of AI combined with unprecedented blockchain technologies.”
Market Impact
The global data monetization market is projected to exceed $7 billion in 2025, growing rapidly toward $17 billion by 2033.

Datavault AI’s expanded patent portfolio positions the company at the forefront of these converging markets, enabling secure tokenization of content rights, creative works, and proprietary data as high-value RWAs.
These advancements complement Datavault AI’s existing partnerships and initiatives in sports data monetization, global event-driven licensing, and quantum-secured blockchain infrastructure.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 23 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Datavault AI Inc. (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DVLT), a pioneer in AI-driven data valuation, monetization, and quantum-encrypted RWA tokenization, today announced the issuance of two key U.S. patents that significantly bolster its intellectual property portfolio in blockchain-based content management and monetization.
The newly issued patents cover groundbreaking systems and methods for secure content licensing and tokenized monetization using blockchain technology and smart contracts:
- U.S. Patent (derived from Application Publication 2022/0318853): A system, method, and platform for monetizing digital content through blockchain-managed tokens. The technology automatically identifies content usage, verifies licensing via smart contracts, enforces compliance, and distributes fees according to predefined terms – enabling seamless, tamper-proof revenue sharing for creators and rights holders.
- U.S. Patent (derived from Application Publication 2019/0155997): A comprehensive content licensing platform utilizing blockchain ledgers and secure identifiers (including patented inaudible tone integration) to register, track, license, and monetize creative works. The system supports mechanical, performance, synchronization, and micro-licensing rights while ensuring transparent royalty distribution and enforcement across global networks.
These patents directly enhance Datavault AI’s core patented technologies, including Sumerian® Crypto Anchors, DataScore, and DataValue AI agents. By combining blockchain immutability with AI-driven valuation and quantum-resistant encryption, Datavault AI is uniquely positioned to tokenize intellectual property, creative content, and data assets as secure RWAs – unlocking fractional ownership, instant settlement, and global liquidity for traditionally illiquid assets.
“The issuance of these patents represents a major milestone in our mission to empower creators and enterprises with trusted, scalable data and content monetization,” said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI Inc. “In an era where digital content and data represent trillions in untapped value, our technologies provide the security, transparency, and automation needed to transform intellectual property into tokenized real-world assets. These patents strengthen our competitive moat and accelerate our leadership in the convergence of AI, blockchain, and RWA tokenization.”
“These patents create significant barriers to entry and robust intellectual property protections for Datavault AI, while also enabling new licensing opportunities. The continued issuance of these patents provides the foundational infrastructure for our Information Data Exchange and forthcoming Elements, NIL, and political exchanges—all built on our exclusive, quantum-secured platform,” stated Joshua Paugh, Chief Intellectual Property Officer of Datavault AI. “This includes quantum chains, quantum-grade encryption, and our unmatched command of AI combined with unprecedented blockchain technologies.”
Market Impact
The global data monetization market is projected to exceed $7 billion in 2025, growing rapidly toward $17 billion by 2033. The broader digital content and licensing industry is valued at over $369 billion globally, while real-world asset tokenization has already surpassed $30 billion in on-chain value in 2025, with analysts projecting the global tokenized real world asset market to reach over $16 trillion by 2030. Datavault AI’s expanded patent portfolio positions the company at the forefront of these converging markets, enabling secure tokenization of content rights, creative works, and proprietary data as high-value RWAs.
These advancements complement Datavault AI’s existing partnerships and initiatives in sports data monetization, global event-driven licensing, and quantum-secured blockchain infrastructure.

SOUTHEAST ASIAN FIRMS URGED TO PREPARE FOR 2026 US ENTRY
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 18 (Bernama) -- Southeast Asian companies are being urged to begin preparations now to capitalise on a widening window of opportunity for entry into the United States (US) market in 2026, as firms across the region move to diversify supply chains and sustain growth momentum.
Industry forecasts, including research from the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, project Southeast Asia’s business-to-business digital commerce market to reach US$130 billion by 2026, driven by rising demand for consumer electronics, home furnishings and cross-border trade with overseas buyers. (US$1=RM4.07)
Dmitry Shubov Consulting founder, Dmitry Shubov said the most successful expansions treat the US market as a multi-layered project, addressing legal entity structure, tax exposure and local logistics simultaneously.
“We are helping them move beyond the simple manufacturing and business models to a sophisticated, sustainable American market strategy,” he said in a statement.
Market entry, however, requires more than competitive products. Companies expanding in the US must address complex legal, tax and operational frameworks to avoid costly delays and compliance risks, industry experts said.
Key challenges include structuring the appropriate US legal entity and managing tax nexus requirements, navigating customs classifications and tariffs, complying with product safety regulations such as those enforced by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and securing US intellectual property protections.
Operational readiness is also critical, with companies increasingly expected to localise supply chains through US-based warehousing, third-party logistics providers and faster delivery standards, while complying with a growing patchwork of state-level data privacy laws.
Experts say companies that address these legal and logistical requirements in late 2025 and early 2026 are better positioned to capture short-term market momentum and ensure long-term stability.
Consulting firms and online resources are increasingly supporting Southeast Asian founders, particularly at the pre-seed and seed stages, as companies prepare to establish compliant and scalable operations in the US. Dmitry Shubov remains committed to guiding these businesses, helping them hit the ground running when they launch into the US market.

SOUTH KOREA EASES DISCOUNT RATE RULES FOR NON-LIFE INSURERS
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 (Bernama) -- The recent easing of discount rate regulations by South Korea’s financial authorities will alleviate pressure on the solvency position of the country’s non-life insurers, according to a new AM Best commentary.
AM Best in a statement said the country’s non-life insurers are facing increasing solvency pressures due to declining market interest rates, together with the tightening of the discount rate calculation for insurance liabilities by its domestic regulators.
The report stated that a recently announced plan is expected to slow the pace of these cuts taking effect, which should ease the burden that insurers would face in securing their solvency positions.
In South Korea’s non-life insurance market, the discount rate used in liability valuation plays an essential role in determining balance sheet strength under IFRS 17 and the Korean Insurance Capital Standard (K-ICS), as the majority of the insurance book is structured as long-term contracts.
According to the global credit rating agency, the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) has been actively involved in setting standards for the discount rate curves to enable better comparability within the industry.
The FSS had initially planned for a soft landing under IFRS 17 accounting standards that were implemented in 2023, allowing a higher discount rate at implementation, then phasing in discount rate decreases gradually until 2027.
However, interest rates have since fallen faster than expected, in which South Korea’s 10-year treasury bond yield has decreased from 3.85 per cent in August 2023 to 2.56 per cent at the end of April 2025, with a partial rebound to 3.34 per cent in the beginning of December 2025.
The report indicates that the FSS has revisited its plans related to lowering the discount rate and opted to slow the implementation pace to alleviate excessive capital pressures, based on industry feedback.

Axi: Crypto as a Strategic Portfolio Component for Traders & Investors in 2026
SYDNEY, Dec 15 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As global financial markets evolve, Axi is making the case that cryptocurrencies — accessed through its platform and expanding lineup of crypto perpetual futures (“perps”) — deserve a meaningful place in diversified portfolio planning for 2026. Crypto trading has increasingly shifted toward derivatives, with perpetual futures now forming the core of digital asset activity worldwide. Recent data indicates that perpetual futures account for roughly 68% of all Bitcoin trading volume and about 76% of total global crypto derivatives volume in 2025, highlighting their continued growth and influence.
In parallel with this shift, Axi has expanded its lineup to include more than 150 perpetual futures contracts across major and emerging tokens, giving traders deep exposure within a regulated, single-platform environment. With derivatives dominating global crypto markets, Axi’s platform provides the liquidity, accessibility, and flexibility modern traders expect — including 24/7 market access and the ability to employ leverage in a controlled and regulated setting. This mirrors the versatility of traditional financial instruments while offering exposure to the rapidly developing digital asset landscape.
The rise in institutional participation underscores this evolution: as of 2025, institutions reportedly account for approximately 42% of all crypto derivatives trading volume, signalling growing institutional confidence in crypto markets beyond pure retail speculation. “With perps driving most crypto activity, we’re broadening our offerings to meet traders where the market is going,” said Stuart Cooke, Head of New Business at Axi. “Our goal is to bring everything into one trusted ecosystem — perps, copy trading, mobile apps, and institutional-grade support.” Looking ahead to 2026, the mainstream status of crypto derivatives highlights a pivotal moment for investors evaluating diversified strategies.
Looking ahead to 2026, the mainstream status of crypto derivatives highlights a pivotal moment for investors evaluating diversified strategies. The dominance of derivatives over spot trading in 2025 points to the rapidly maturing market environment, while traders and investors — from speculative participants to those hedging or seeking thematic exposure — increasingly require flexible, advanced tools. Axi’s infrastructure and broad contract range are built to support these evolving needs. The availability of perpetual contracts through a valued broker offers expanded flexibility, robust risk-management potential, and round-the-clock access, acknowledging both the opportunities and inherent risks of digital asset derivatives.

(NASDAQ: DVLT) (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”), a leader in data monetization, credentialing, and digital engagement technologies, today announced that its board of directors (the “Datavault Board”) has set Dec. 24, 2025, as the distribution date for the Dream Bowl 2026 Meme Coin token (the “Meme Coin”) to all eligible record equityholders of Datavault AI. Dec. 24, 2025, will also be the distribution date for Datavault AI’s voluntary distribution of Meme Coins to record holders of common stock of Scilex Holding Company (NASDAQ: SCLX), which is being made as a token of Datavault AI’s appreciation for Scilex’s relationship with Datavault AI as a significant stockholder of Datavault AI, licensing partner and co-sponsor of the Dream Bowl XIV event to be held on Jan. 11, 2026. The previously announced record date for the distribution of the Meme Coins was Nov. 25, 2025.
Datavault AI expects to begin mailing detailed instructions, on or about Dec. 12, 2025, regarding wallet setup, token access, and distribution procedures to stockholders of record of both Datavault AI and Scilex on the books and records of the transfer agents of Datavault AI and Scilex. Datavault AI also expects to file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about the same date outlining such instructions. Any stockholders of Datavault AI and/or Scilex that hold their shares of common stock of Datavault AI and/or Scilex in “street name” through a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization should receive such instructions and other information from their broker, bank, dealer or other similar organization once such organizations receive the instructions from Datavault AI.
In order to receive the Meme Coins, all eligible recipients will be required to open a digital wallet with Datavault AI and execute an Opt-In Agreement, pursuant to which such holders will agree, among other things, to the payment conditions set forth therein, and acknowledge that such holders understand the process for receiving the Meme Coins, that the Datavault Board can change the record date or payment date or revoke the distribution prior to the payment date, and that the Meme Coins may not have or maintain any value.
Datavault AI remains firmly committed to stockholder value creation and continuous innovation. Datavault AI will commemorate the upcoming Dream Bowl XIV through this one-time distribution of the Meme Coins to eligible record equity holders of Datavault AI and record holders of common stock of Scilex. Each holder will receive an exclusive commemorative digital collectible designed with utility features, including immutable proof of ownership, embedded ticketing details, and exclusive content related to invited athletes, game highlights, and event access. The Meme Coins will be airdropped to DataVault® wallets beginning on Dec 24, 2025, subject to recipients opening a digital wallet with Datavault AI and executing an Opt-In Agreement (including to provide any additional documentation requested by Datavault AI to verify any shares of common stock of Datavault AI and/or Scilex that are held in “street name” with a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization).
The record date for the distribution may be changed by the Datavault Board for any reason at any time prior to the actual distribution date, and payment of the distribution is conditioned upon the Datavault Board not having revoked the distribution prior to the distribution date, including for a material change to the solvency or surplus analysis presented to the Datavault Board.
The Meme Coin is a digital collectible intended solely for personal, non-commercial use in connection with the Dream Bowl XIV event to be held on Jan. 11, 2026. The Meme Coin does not: (i) represent or confer any equity, voting, dividend, profit-sharing, or ownership rights in Datavault AI or any other entity; (ii) provide any right to receive monetary payments, distributions, or appreciation; or (iii) create any expectation of profit or reliance on the managerial or entrepreneurial efforts of Datavault AI or others. The Meme Coin is not designed or intended to function as an investment, currency, or financial product, and it is not being offered, sold, or distributed for fundraising or capital-raising purposes. Use of the Meme Coin is limited to entertainment, event-access, and digital-collectible functions. Any transferability features are provided solely to support personal digital item portability and not to facilitate or imply investment or speculative use.
The Meme Coins will be tradeable on Datavault AI’s proprietary Information Data Exchange, which acts as a digital marketplace where registered buyers and sellers can securely exchange payment for data assets, including the Meme Coins. Datavault AI will notify holders of Meme Coins via email when they can commence trading the Meme Coins on the Information Data Exchange. Datavault AI currently anticipates that trading of the Meme Coins on such exchange will commence on or about Jan. 11, 2026. Holders of Meme Coins may also be able to export the Meme Coins to other digital wallets. While there will be no fees associated with an eligible holder of Datavault AI securities or Scilex common stock opening a digital wallet with Datavault AI for purposes of accepting the Meme Coins in the Distribution, trades of Meme Coins made on the Information Data Exchange will incur ordinary course trading fees that are based on transaction value and embedded within the terms of the applicable smart contract. Meme Coins that are exported to and traded on other trading platforms or digital exchanges may be subject to additional fees not imposed by Datavault AI.

Audiencerate Achieves Google Customer Match Partner Status, strengthening its role as a Global Data Provider
LONDON, Dec 11 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Audiencerate, an international technology company specializing in data activation solutions and platforms within the AdTech and MarTech sectors, has been officially awarded by Google as a Customer Match Upload Partner. This certification is granted to a restricted number of global operators (https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7361372?hl=en) authorized to manage and onboard first-party data into the Google Ads and DV360 ecosystem.
The company strengthen its strategic partnership with Google by adding the Customer Match Upload Partner accreditation to its existing status as a certified Google Data Provider. This new credential enables Audiencerate to seamlessly integrate proprietary audience segments and data into Google’s advertising platforms.

The capability is particularly relevant at a time when the unification of AdTech and MarTech is critical and businesses are accelerating the transition toward marketing strategies based on proprietary data assets.
“Google’s approval marks a strategic milestone in our growth trajectory towards an innovative MadTech platform,” explains Nicola Boschetti, CEO of Audiencerate. “Our technology allows us to offer an integrated infrastructure that adheres to the highest standards, supporting businesses in their transition toward a data economy centered on privacy and the realization of their proprietary data's business value.”
Audiencerate operates across major European and international markets, partnering with brands, agencies, and technology platforms for the management and activation of marketing data. This newly recognized status from Google further enhances the company's ability to compete effectively with global players in the MarTech and AdTech sectors.

AM BEST LIFTS NEW INDIA ASSURANCE OUTLOOK TO POSITIVE
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 12 (Bernama) -- AM Best has revised the outlooks to positive from stable and affirmed the financial strength rating (FSR) of B++ (Good) and the long-term issuer credit rating (Long-Term ICR) of “bbb+” (Good) of The New India Assurance Company Limited (New India).
Concurrently, the global credit rating agency in a statement said it has affirmed the India National Scale Rating (NSR) of aaa.IN (Exceptional) of New India with a stable outlook.
The rating actions reflect New India’s very strong balance sheet strength, adequate operating performance, favourable business profile and marginal enterprise risk management (ERM), with a neutral impact from its majority ownership by the Government of India.
The outlook revision follows an improving trend in New India’s ERM fundamentals. AM Best cited enhancements to the company’s risk management framework, stronger systems and controls, and progress in resolving longstanding audit qualifications.
AM Best expects New India to continue strengthening its ERM in the near to medium term through improved internal controls and account reconciliation to resolve outstanding audit matters.
The company’s balance sheet remains supported by risk-adjusted capitalisation at the strongest level in fiscal year 2025, based on Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio. Its reinsurance assets are viewed as high quality, while its investment portfolio carries moderate risk.
Despite sizeable holdings in domestic equities that may introduce volatility, New India’s bond investments are largely in well-rated government and corporate bonds.
AM Best assesses New India’s operating performance as adequate, with a five-year average return on equity of 2.5 per cent (fiscal years 2021 to 2025). Fiscal year 2025 earnings declined due to lower investment returns and a one-off provision on old reinsurance balances, though underwriting performance improved.
However, robust investment income, including interest, dividends and realised equity gains, continues to provide a sizable contribution to overall earnings. Operating earnings remained positive in the first half of fiscal year 2026, driven by robust investment returns.
New India retains its position as India’s largest non-life insurer by gross premiums written. Its portfolio is moderately diversified, though concentrated in health insurance, while overseas branches and subsidiaries support its international footprint.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 9 (Bernama) -- CTBC Financial Holding president Rachael Kao has outlined the group’s digital innovation, environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy, and global expansion at the Global Banking Summit 2025 in London, from Dec 2 to 4, where she was the only representative from Taiwan’s financial sector.
In a statement, CTBC said Kao joined the "CEO keynote interview" at the three-day summit, co-hosted by the Financial Times and The Banker, which gathered over 1,000 participants and more than 40 C-suite executives.
Kao said resilience has become a defining capability for financial institutions, noting that CTBC’s strong operational foundation, risk management, digital transformation and sustainable finance efforts form its long-term growth engine.
She highlighted the bank’s focus on green finance, transition financing, ESG investment, and supply-chain decarbonisation, supported by its role as Asia-Pacific chair of the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) and participation in the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
CTBC said many Taiwanese exporters face rising sustainability requirements, and the bank assists clients with carbon accounting, transition planning and energy-efficiency solutions.
Kao added that CTBC, operating over 370 locations in 14 countries, acts as a "supply-chain bank" for companies expanding overseas, particularly in the semiconductor sector, offering financing, cash management and net-zero advisory services.
She concluded that the group also advances financial inclusion by providing easy-to-use ATM interfaces for seniors, visually impaired individuals, and foreign nationals, using artificial intelligence to prevent fraud, and offering a fully digital small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) lending process.
