Bitget Rolls Out Stocks 2.0, Linking Tokenized Equities to Real U.S. Market Liquidity
VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 5 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's leading Universal Exchange (UEX), has announced the launch of Bitget Stocks 2.0, an upgraded tokenized stock spot product designed to improve liquidity, asset transparency, and capital efficiency for tokenized equity trading.
The product is issued by Reality, a licensed RWA issuance platform, powered by Bitget's strategic support, trading access, and asset security within its ecosystem.
The upgrade is built around three product improvements: deeper stock market liquidity, 1:1 economic mapping of the underlying stock asset, and broader use of stock tokens within Bitget's margin, strategy, and yield ecosystem. Stock 2.0 is designed to connect tokenized stock trading with real equity market liquidity from global channels. This gives users a stock spot trading experience with deeper order books, lower trading friction, and faster execution directly inside the Bitget app.
The product also supports 1:1 asset mapping for eligible stock tokens. With direct stablecoin trading using USDT. Cash dividends are also converted into USDT and credited to users' accounts. Stock dividends are reflected in user balances, while corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse splits are mapped to token positions to keep economic exposure aligned with the underlying stock.
Stock 2.0 also expands the role of tokenized equities inside Bitget's ecosystem. Eligible stock tokens can be used within unified account and margin systems, and can be connected to supported tools such as spot grid, futures grid, copy trading, and selected yield products. This gives users more ways to manage capital while maintaining exposure to worldwide equity assets.
"Tokenized equities are the bridge crypto is building between global markets," said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. "By 2030, we could see over 10% of global financial assets to be tokenized, which will be fueled by platforms built by access, depth, and compliance. As of today, we have successfully shipped the requirements being built for that future."
As compared to existing RWA products on platforms Bitget offers the most competitive fees in the market. The base rate is 0.1%, while the Maker/Taker fees is the same as VIP, a fixed fee of 0.05% with BGB offers and zero friction costs making it the most cost-effective route to trade stocks.
The launch builds on Bitget's early lead in tokenized equity trading, from tokenized stocks and ETFs to stock futures, and pre-IPO.
Bitget ranks amongst the first major crypto exchanges to support tokenized equities, in January 2026, the platform's cumulative tokenized stock spot volume had surpassed $1 billion, while it accounted for approximately 89% of Ondo-issued tokenized stock trading volume in December 2025. Its stock futures also crossed $10 billion in cumulative trading volume, making it a pioneer in the Universal Exchange model.
The first batch of Bitget Stocks 2.0 includes 36 newly listed stock-linked assets, covering major equities and ETFs such as Apple, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Alphabet, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and QQQ. Availability is subject to user jurisdiction and applicable eligibility requirements.

GAMBIT CYBER UNVEILS VIZIER AI FOR AUTONOMOUS CYBERSECURITY OPERATIONS
KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- Gambit Cyber B.V., a Netherlands-headquartered cybersecurity company, has launched Vizier AI, its next-generation Agentic Security Workflow Automation platform.
According to Gambit Cyber in a statement, the platform uses coordinated artificial intelligence (AI) agents to continuously monitor threats, orchestrate incident response, and manage cyber risk without requiring manual intervention from security teams.
“The launch of Vizier AI represents a fundamental shift in how organisations approach cyber defence. We are not simply automating existing workflows; we are deploying a coordinated intelligence layer that thinks, analyses, and acts continuously on behalf of security teams.
“AI agents operating in concert can process signals, correlate threats, and orchestrate responses at a speed and scale that is simply beyond human capacity alone,” said Gambit Cyber Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Anuj Kumar.
The launch addresses a widening gap between the complexity of today’s threat landscape and the shrinking resources available to corporate security operations.
Built as a core component of the KnightGuard platform, Vizier AI acts as an autonomous Security Intelligence Workspace and leverages a coordinated network of autonomous AI agents that continuously monitor threats, analyse security data, orchestrate workflows, and deliver actionable insights for faster and more informed decision-making.
The platform enables organisations to scale security operations through AI-driven automation while maintaining visibility, governance, and control across their exposure management programmes.
Its key capabilities include threat detection through continuous AI-driven attack surface monitoring, workflow automation to reduce manual security tasks, accelerated incident response using autonomous AI agents, and intelligence generation by transforming raw security data into actionable insights.

ARGOSVISION SHOWCASES 3D VISION SYSTEM AT ECHELON SINGAPORE 2026
KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- ArgosVision, a South Korean robotics vision startup, has announced its participation at Echelon Singapore 2026 on June 3 to 4, showcasing its panoramic 3D vision system, ArgosVue, and exploring collaboration opportunities with partners in the intelligent robotics industry.
ArgosVue is a next-generation 3D vision system designed to provide robots with a human-like wide field of view for improved spatial awareness and human interaction. The system offers a 200-degree horizontal and 140-degree vertical field of view, delivering twice the coverage of conventional 3D vision sensors.
Its Chief Executive Officer, Ki-Yeong Park said ArgosVue was inspired by the concept of giving robots human-like vision, making it suitable for physical AI applications, particularly in data collection and imitation learning.
ArgosVision in a statement said the expanded field of view enables robots to perceive surrounding obstacles as well as floor and terrain conditions simultaneously, supporting navigation in unstructured and dynamic environments.
Even when a person is positioned as close as 50 centimetres from the robot, the individual’s full body remains within the sensor’s view, while the system can also detect people approaching from side angles rather than only from the front.
By offering a panoramic, human-level perspective, ArgosVue supports more complete datasets and smoother integration into robot learning pipelines.
During the event, ArgosVision will conduct live demonstrations of ArgosVue and engage with robotics companies, potential partners, and customers across Singapore and Southeast Asia.

EXPEREO REPORT: FIRMS RUSH INTO AI INVESTMENT AMID ROI CONCERNS
KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- Expereo, a managed Network as a Service provider, stated that enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) spending is rising rapidly as organisations race to deploy the technology faster than they can assess its effectiveness.
According to the latest IDC InfoBrief commissioned by Expereo, about 70 per cent of organisations are investing in AI, driven by its potential and concerns about falling behind competitors, although many continue to lag in disciplined return on investment (ROI) evaluation.
In a statement, Expereo said one in five organisations (20 per cent) admitted they were investing aggressively in AI with limited evaluation, largely due to fears of being left behind.
Based on a survey of 800 technology leaders across Europe, the United States and Asia Pacific (APAC), the report found that AI has become one of the world's top technology investment priorities, with 51 per cent of organisations saying they plan to prioritise AI or machine learning over the next 12 months.
However, returns have yet to match expectations. Only 19 per cent of organisations surveyed said their AI implementations had exceeded expectations, while just five per cent reported significantly exceeding them.
The most frequently cited reasons for underperformance were inadequate or poor-quality training data (51 per cent), higher-than-expected costs or failure to achieve ROI (47 per cent), and AI systems not performing as expected (46 per cent).
The report also highlighted a network and infrastructure readiness gap. Among organisations whose AI implementations failed to meet expectations, 26 per cent cited inadequate network or connectivity performance as a contributing factor. Looking ahead, 54 per cent said they would require more flexible and scalable networks to thrive in an AI-driven environment.
The pressure to invest is most pronounced in APAC, where 37 per cent of organisations admitted investing aggressively in AI due to fears of being left behind, nearly double the global average and significantly higher than the United States (10 per cent) and Europe (13 per cent).
APAC also leads in AI adoption, with 35 per cent of organisations reporting extensive AI use across their operations, compared with a global average of 25 per cent.
The survey also found growing concerns over the long-term risks of AI investment. Some 54 per cent of technology leaders cited new security risks as a significant future threat, while 39 per cent expressed concern about losing visibility over AI-related costs and ROI once the technology becomes embedded across the business.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 25 (Bernama) -- Stoneshield Capital, a European real assets investment firm, has signed an agreement to acquire a 15 per cent stake in Exolum from OMERS, building on its existing investment in the company.
According to a statement, the firm acquired a 4.93 per cent stake in January this year, and once the transaction closes in the third quarter of 2026, its total holding in Exolum will rise to approximately 20 per cent.
The remaining 10 per cent of OMERS’ approximately 25 per cent stake is being separately acquired by a leading global investment firm. OMERS, together with its investment partners, has been invested in Exolum since 2016.
Stoneshield Capital co-founders, Felipe Morenés Botín and Juan Pepa said the firm has followed Exolum’s progress closely as an existing shareholder, including its international expansion, operational performance and growing role in the energy transition.
“Increasing our investment and taking active board representation reflects our conviction in Exolum’s distinctive combination of real assets quality, geographic reach and strategic relevance, and our commitment to supporting management as the company continues to strengthen its position as one of Europe’s leading energy logistics platforms,” said the co-founders.
Meanwhile, OMERS Infrastructure Senior Managing Director and Head of Europe, Luca Lupo said the transaction reflects the quality of the business and the firm’s disciplined approach to portfolio management and capital rotation.
Exolum is a Spanish-headquartered global energy logistics company specialising in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined products, bulk liquids and aviation fuels, while also supporting the energy transition.
The company operates a 4,000-kilometre (km) pipeline network in Spain and a further 2,000 km network in the United Kingdom, alongside 68 storage terminals with more than 11 million cubic metres of capacity serving over 48 airports globally.
Following completion, Stoneshield Capital will assume three of OMERS’ board seats, while the second investor will take the remaining two.

ITC Infotech, InsureMO Form Alliance To Drive Agentic AI Modernisation In Insurance
KUALA LUMPUR, May 19 (Bernama) -- ITC Infotech, a global technology services and solutions provider, and InsureMO have formed a strategic alliance to help insurers accelerate modernisation through agentic artificial intelligence (AI), initially targeting markets in the Middle East, Africa and India.
The partnership combines ITC Infotech’s K-Fabric agentic AI framework with InsureMO’s insurance infrastructure platform, which comprises more than 2,500 application programming interfaces (APIs) covering policy, claims, underwriting, distribution and product configuration.
ITC Infotech Chief Executive Officer, Manas Chakraborty in a statement said insurers in high-growth markets are seeking faster transformation with lower risk and cost.
Meanwhile, InsureMO Chief Revenue Officer, Rajat Sharma said the partnership would provide insurers with a pathway from AI strategy to production deployment without disrupting existing systems.
The alliance is aimed at helping insurers modernise operations and launch new products more quickly without replacing existing core systems. InsureMO’s API layer will operate alongside legacy systems, while ITC Infotech’s AI agents automate processes traditionally requiring extensive manual configuration and integration work.
Under the collaboration, the firms will jointly develop AI-driven insurance solutions focused on intelligent underwriting, automated product configuration and claims workflow automation.
ITC Infotech will also establish a certified InsureMO practice, with engineers trained on InsureMO’s platform architecture and API framework, while its Digital and AI Experience Centres in Bengaluru and Kolkata, together with its AI Studio in Pune, will serve as co-innovation hubs for development and client validation.
The alliance takes immediate effect, with joint go-to-market activities planned across the Middle East, India and Africa in 2026.

Bitget Launches “Gold Fast or Go Home Challenge” for Gold CFD Trading
VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 21 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched the “Gold Fast or Go Home Challenge,” a global campaign built around faster access to gold CFD trading on the Bitget app. The campaign follows Bitget’s recent product update that moved TradFi products, including gold, forex, commodities, and indices, to a first-level homepage tab, reducing the number of steps required to access these markets directly from the homepage.
The challenge invites users to record themselves by opening the Bitget app, entering the TradFi section, and completing an XAUUSD gold CFD trade as quickly as possible. Participants will publish their attempts across social platforms as part of a global speed-based trading challenge designed around accessibility, execution flow, and real-time market participation. The campaign combines trading culture with short-form social content, turning product speed into a visible user experience.
The campaign reflects Bitget’s broader direction of bringing traditional financial assets closer to crypto-native trading environments through a unified interface. Users can move between crypto assets, tokenized products, forex pairs, commodities, and gold CFD markets from a single account structure without switching across multiple platforms, wallets, or trading systems.
“Users increasingly move between crypto and traditional financial markets within the same trading cycle, especially during periods shaped by macro volatility,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “We have designed the platform to make these markets more directly accessible inside the app. The challenge turns that trading flow into a public and community-driven experience that shows how multi-asset trading behavior is evolving.”
Gold trading activity has continued gaining traction globally as investors monitor interest rate expectations, central bank accumulation trends, inflation risks, and geopolitical uncertainty. Across digital asset platforms, gold CFDs have become one of the most actively monitored TradFi products during periods of elevated volatility, particularly as users look for faster access to macro-sensitive assets without leaving crypto-native trading environments.
The homepage TradFi integration forms part of Bitget’s wider Universal Exchange strategy focused on reducing fragmentation between digital assets and traditional financial markets. As more users diversify across asset classes, trading platforms are increasingly expected to support crypto, commodities, equities, FX, and tokenized assets within a single interface and collateral system. Bitget’s TradFi expansion reflects growing market demand for unified multi-asset access and faster capital movement between trading categories.
The launch also follows Bitget’s continued expansion of its TradFi offering across global markets. The platform currently provides access to crypto markets alongside tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, forex pairs, and precious metals such as gold within one trading ecosystem. In 2026, Bitget repositioned its TradFi section to the app homepage as part of a broader effort to simplify market access and improve execution efficiency across multi-asset trading activity.

NEW YORK, May 5 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allied Gaming & Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: AGAE) (the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a proposal to change the Company’s corporate name to "AI & FutureTech Alliance Limited," with a proposed corresponding ticker symbol change to "AIFA," and has commenced development planning for an artificial intelligence infrastructure project in the Hainan Free Trade Port — the AIFA Silicon Photonics AI Supercomputing Center — part of the Company’s strategic direction along with future mergers, acquisitions, and development of global optical network infrastructure. Both the proposed name change and the infrastructure project are subject to significant conditions, including shareholder approval, regulatory filings, financing, and other requirements described below.
This initiative aims to position the Company as a global leader in AI infrastructure, to capture significant opportunities arising from the rapid evolution of global intelligent computing capacity and the expansion of the digital economy. The Company has commenced implementation of the first major phase of this strategic plan, as outlined below:
I. Proposed Corporate Rebranding: From AGAE to AIFA, with a Strategic Focus on “AI-driven all-optical infrastructure, repositioning the Company as a global platform integrating AI compute and fiber-optic network transmission.”
The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a proposal to change the Company’s corporate name from “Allied Gaming & Entertainment Inc.” to “AI & FutureTech Alliance Limited”, with a corresponding ticker symbol change on the Nasdaq Stock Market from “AGAE” to “AIFA” (subject to shareholder approval and regulatory filings).
This proposed rebranding represents not merely a name change, but a fundamental transformation of the Company’s identity — from a gaming and entertainment business to a global technology platform focused on AI infrastructure and full-stack optical network systems.
The proposed name change is subject to approval at the Company’s upcoming annual meeting of shareholders and the completion of applicable regulatory procedures. The Company will disclose further updates in accordance with applicable securities laws.
II. Landmark Project Launch: AIFA Silicon Photonics AI Supercomputing Center in Hainan
The Company announced the plan of launching the AIFA Silicon Photonics AI Supercomputing Center. As an offshore silicon photonics-based AI supercomputing hub to be fully owned, constructed, and operated by the publicly listed company, the facility will be located in Qingshui Bay, Hainan Free Trade Port, a globally significant international submarine cable landing station.
The Company has secured 13,089 square meters of core development auction-acquired commercial land, and is in the process of acquiring an additional 13,578 square meters, bringing total planned land area to 26,667 square meters (approximately 287,039 square feet). This location offers unique cross-border communications advantages, with direct connectivity to multiple international submarine cables linking Asia, Europe, and North America, making it a critical international gateway for data transmission of the broader region.
The project has completed internal approval procedures, and preliminary work including master planning, architectural design, and computing infrastructure engineering is progressing steadily. The project remains subject to external regulatory approvals, financing, and the completion of applicable land arrangements.
1. Five Core Business Lines of the AIFA Silicon Photonics AI Supercomputing Center: Establishing a full-stack, integrated platform encompassing high-performance AI storage, advanced compute operations, AI tokenized services, and compute orchestration capabilities.
The AIFA Silicon Photonics AI Supercomputing Center is planned to be built around advanced silicon photonics interconnect and optical computing technologies, and is intended to offer five integrated service areas covering the full lifecycle of AI compute demand:
High-Performance Compute Leasing
The Company will provide GPU clusters as well as hybrid silicon photonics–electronic compute clusters, supporting both long-term dedicated leasing—suitable for trillion-parameter AI model training and large-scale scientific computing—and flexible, on-demand leasing for inference workloads, temporary R&D, and short-duration, high-concurrency tasks. Compared with traditional electronic computing architectures, we believe silicon photonics–enabled compute offers significantly lower latency, reduced power consumption, and higher hardware utilization.
Advanced Distributed Storage
Deployment of all-optical storage arrays enabling sub-microsecond read/write latency, supporting multi-tier storage (hot, warm, cold), cross-border data storage designed to support applicable compliance requirements, and disaster recovery services for large-scale AI datasets.
AI Token Output Services
Conversion of compute capacity into standardized API-based AI Token services, including text generation, image/video generation, and industry-specific inference services. The Company intends to explore a revenue-sharing arrangements with leading model developers, with the goal of enabling global developers and enterprises to access AI compute in a lightweight, scalable manner. No formal arrangements have been entered into, and no assurance can be given that any will be established on the terms described or at all.
Cross-Border Compute Orchestration
Leveraging international submarine cable infrastructure and intelligent scheduling platforms to dynamically allocate compute resources across regions, supporting distributed cross-border model training. The Company believes this capability, if implemented as planned, has the potential to reduce geopolitical risk and compute costs and enhance operational resilience. No assurance can be given that these objectives will be achieved.
Full Lifecycle Value-Added Services
Centered on model optimization, compliance certification, infrastructure operations, and collaboration with academic and industry partners, these services provide comprehensive support to core compute offerings and establish an integrated service platform encompassing compute, technology, compliance, and ecosystem development.
2. Advanced Technology Architecture: Silicon Photonics CPO + Immersion Cooling
The AIFA Supercomputing Center is designed to deploy a next-generation architecture combining Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) and immersion liquid cooling, which the Company believes would represent one of the first deployment of this technology combination in Asia, based on publicly available information. The target Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is 1.08–1.10, These are design targets based on the planned technology architecture and are not guarantees of actual operational performance.
Hardware Layer:
The facility is planned to utilize GPUs based on next-generation architectures and may evaluate solutions from leading providers such as NVIDIA and Cambricon, subject to applicable trade regulations and commercial arrangements. These systems are expected to incorporate advanced silicon photonics interfaces, enabling large-scale, non-blocking interconnection. The immersion cooling system supports rack-level power density exceeding 400 kW, which is expected to reduce energy consumption by 40–60% compared to conventional air cooling.
Software Layer:
Equipped with a proprietary full-stack AI scheduling system optimized for trillion-parameter MoE models, targeting resource utilization rates above 90%. A cross-border data compliance platform is designed to support compliance with applicable Hainan Free Trade Port regulatory frameworks and global data privacy standards.
Green Energy:
Primary reliance on solar power, supplemented by grid electricity, to establish a low-carbon, environmentally sustainable compute infrastructure.
3. Market Opportunity and Policy Advantages
There is currently a notable supply gap in high-end offshore compute capacity and AI storage across Asia. The AIFA Silicon Photonics AI Supercomputing Center is expected to help address this gap and support connectivity across the region’s digital economy.
The AIFA Supercomputing Center may be eligible to benefit from multiple policy incentives associated with the Hainan Free Trade Port, including:offshore tax advantages
- duty-free importation of advanced equipment
- cross-border data pilot programs
- dedicated international communication channels
The combination of compute infrastructure with potential submarine cable and fiber network integration opportunities, if pursued and successfully implemented, could create a highly differentiated and scarce infrastructure platform.
III. Proposed Convertible Bond Financing Initiative
The Company has initiated a process of convertible bond financing and has engaged several financial advisors to assist in evaluating and pursuing such opportunities. The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to pursue a potential issuance of convertible notes of up to US$300 million, subject to market conditions, investor interest, and the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements.
If pursued and successfully completed, the Company currently expects that any such financing would be structured in multiple tranches and that proceeds would be primarily used to support the development of the AIFA Silicon Photonics AI Supercomputing Center, including data center construction, compute infrastructure procurement, silicon photonics deployment, cooling systems, and general working capital.
The Company may, subject to market conditions and the outcome of ongoing discussions, consider a phased financing structure, which could include:

IV. Management Commentary
James Li, Chairman and CEO, stated:
“The proposed rebranding to AIFA, the development of a silicon photonics AI supercomputing center on Company-owned land, and the associated convertible financing represent the first major phase of AGAE’s strategic transformation after several years of dedicated planning and execution.
Since early 2024, we have also been exploring acquisitions of scarce international fiber-optic assets, while advancing internal innovation and external partnerships. Our goal is to build an end-to-end optical technology operating platform and position AGAE as an AI infrastructure company with dual core capabilities in silicon photonics-based compute and fiber-optic networks. We currently expect to enter into definitive acquisition agreements in Q2 2026, subject to customary conditions, and will provide updates as appropriate.
The Company has commenced the first phase of its strategic transformation roadmap. Going forward, it intends to build on potential underlying asset acquisitions, while continuing to advance its presence in AI education and AI applications. The Company will also seek to strengthen collaboration with global industry partners and academic institutions, and to recruit senior leadership talent, with the goal of delivering long-term shareholder value.”
