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

 

VICTORIA, Seychelles - Wednesday, 01. July 2026

 

(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.

Bitget Launches Third Year of Anti-Scam Month with New Report on Multi-Asset Fraud

 

VICTORIA, Seychelles - Tuesday, 30. June 2026

 

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched the third year of its Anti-Scam Month initiative with the release of its Anti-Scam Report 2026 titled “The Evolution of Fraud in the Multi-Asset Era”, developed in partnership with blockchain security firm SlowMist. As digital finance expands across cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, stocks, CFDs, wallets, and AI-powered investment tools, the report examines how fraud is adapting to changing investor behavior and increasingly interconnected financial ecosystems.

The report finds that changes in user behavior are reshaping how fraud campaigns are designed and deployed across digital finance. According to Bitget Research, the share of active users participating across two or more asset classes grew from under 1% in mid-2025 to more than 10% by May 2026. As users move across a wider range of products and platforms, fraud campaigns are increasingly blending multiple narratives, social engineering tactics, AI-generated content, and multiple communication channels within a single operation.

Drawing on Bitget Research and investigations conducted by SlowMist, the report found that many successful scams no longer rely on a single point of compromise. Fraud operators guide victims through a sequence of interactions spanning social media platforms, messaging applications, investment communities, phishing infrastructure, and wallet activity before assets are ultimately stolen. Between July 2025 and June 2026, Bitget's security infrastructure intercepted more than 150 million malicious requests, identified over 13,000 high-risk malicious IP addresses, handled 18,135 user protection cases, and supported the recovery of $32.3 million linked to security incidents and fraudulent activity.

“Security challenges evolve alongside markets. As more users participate across crypto, stocks, tokenized assets and AI-powered products, fraud campaigns are becoming sophisticated in how they build trust and influence decision-making. Understanding those risks is an important step toward protecting users and strengthening confidence across the broader ecosystem,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

The report identifies several trends shaping the current fraud environment, including AI-generated investment personas, deepfake-enabled scams, voice-cloning attacks, synthetic investment communities, wallet-draining operations, malicious smart contracts, and increasingly sophisticated phishing campaigns. Among the cases examined are a deepfake investment scam impersonating Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, an AI-generated investment advertising campaign that reportedly defrauded thousands of Swedish investors, the Truman Show synthetic community scam involving approximately 90 fabricated investor identities, and the Rublevka Team wallet-draining operation documented in early 2026.

Beyond examining how scams operate, the report explores victim psychology, common scam entry points, post-theft asset movement, and recovery challenges. It also outlines practical measures users can take to strengthen account security, recognize AI-enabled deception, evaluate investment opportunities more effectively, and respond to security incidents.

Since launching Anti-Scam Month in 2024, Bitget has worked with security researchers, ecosystem partners, and industry organizations to improve awareness around emerging threats and promote stronger user protection practices. Throughout June, Bitget's Anti-Scam Month campaign will feature educational content, security awareness initiatives, and collaborations with industry partners aimed at helping users identify emerging threats and strengthen their ability to protect digital assets.

EVE Energy Strengthens European Operations Through Compliance, Local Manufacturing, and Regional Services

 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Smarter E Europe 2026 opened in Munich on June 23 and runs through June 25, gathering global players from the clean energy sector on one of Europe’s most influential trade exhibition platforms. EVE Energy unveiled its Mr. Big Family series, a 6.9+ MWh energy storage system, all-scenario storage solutions, and high-performance EV batteries — showcasing its lithium-sodium dual-technology platform, full product portfolio, and localized European operational layout. During the exhibition, European clients showed strong interest in the company’s product performance and placed strong emphasis on sustained adherence to the EU’s evolving regulatory standards. This industry attitude further underscores that regulatory compliance readiness has become a fundamental prerequisite for accessing the European clean energy market.

As the European Union advances implementation of the EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, EVE Energy continues to strengthen its long-term presence in Europe through regulatory compliance, localized manufacturing, and regional service capabilities. The company has completed key compliance milestones while expanding its manufacturing and service network to support customers across Europe.

Advancing Compliance for the European Market

EVE Energy has established a comprehensive compliance system covering both power and energy storage batteries. In December 2024, the company received the world's first TÜV SÜD Mark certificate for traction batteries issued under the new EU Battery Regulation. In September 2025, EVE Energy officially launched its battery passport, enabling full lifecycle traceability from raw materials to recycling. Its Mr. Big Family Series also passed industrial battery conformity assessments under the regulation.

Today, EVE Energy has built carbon footprint accounting and supply chain traceability systems for its full battery portfolio, enabling fully compliant product deliveries for both power and energy storage product lines.

Expanding Local Manufacturing Capacity

EVE Energy is also advancing localized manufacturing in Europe. Its battery manufacturing base in Debrecen, Hungary, spans 450,000 square meters with a total investment of approximately €1.307 billion. The first phase, with a planned annual capacity of 30 GWh, is scheduled to begin production in 2027.

Located adjacent to the BMW automotive plant, the Facility is designed to support localized supply, shorten lead times , and reduce cross-border logistics carbon emissions.

The Hungary facility will serve as EVE Energy's first European mass production base for its 46-series large cylindrical batteries for premium European electric vehicles. The cells incorporate a full-tab structure and silicon-carbon anode technology, while their steel-shell design withstands 550 MPa of pressure. The technology has been validated on BMW's Neue Klasse iX3, demonstrating a driving range of 1,007.7 kilometers and enabling an additional approximately 400 kilometers of range with a 10-minute fast-charging.

The project is expected to create more than 1,000 local jobs, contributing to industrial development in Debrecen and the surrounding region.

Strengthening Local Operations Across Europe

To further support European customers, EVE Energy continues to expand its localized operating network. In June 2024, the company officially opened its European regional headquarters in Munich, integrating sales, warehousing, and after-sales services. Four Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) warehouses have also been set up, supported by localized technical and service teams to deliver robust logistics and operational support across Europe.

In 2024, EVE Energy also introduced its CLS (Co-development, License, Service) business model, combining product co-development, technology licensing, and technical services to support localized industrial cooperation with regional partners.

With 25 years of battery technology development, EVE Energy continues to expand its footprint in Europe through compliance, localized manufacturing, and customer support, providing battery solutions for the region's electrification and energy storage markets.

About EVE Energy

Founded in 2001 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2009, EVE Energy is a global lithium battery company serving the consumer, mobility, and energy storage markets. The company provides battery technologies and solutions for electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and consumer applications, with manufacturing and service operations supporting customers worldwide.

 Barcelone, Espagne - lundi, 29. juin 2026

Son Altesse Cheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, vice-gouverneur de Sharjah et président de l’Université de Sharjah (UOS), a assisté vendredi, à l’Université de Barcelone, à la cérémonie de remise des diplômes de la première promotion du Master of Science en entrepreneuriat des médias et innovation numérique, un programme inédit proposé par la Faculté de communication de l’Université de Sharjah en partenariat avec l’Université de Barcelone et bénéficiant du soutien stratégique de Sharjah Media City (Shams).

Son Altesse a exprimé sa fierté des accomplissements des diplômés et salué le solide partenariat entre les deux universités qui partagent un même engagement en faveur du savoir, de l’excellence et de la compréhension internationale. Il a souligné que l’obtention du diplôme marque le début d’un nouveau parcours plutôt que son aboutissement.

Son Altesse a comparé les diplômés à des navires quittant un port sûr, rappelant que les navires sont construits pour naviguer au-delà de l’horizon, explorer l’inconnu et découvrir de nouveaux mondes. Il a indiqué que les diplômés s’engagent désormais dans un avenir riche en opportunités, en défis et en réussites, armés des connaissances, de la résilience et de la détermination nécessaires pour réussir.

Son Altesse a ajouté que cette vision reflète les valeurs des Émirats arabes unis, dont les fondateurs étaient convaincus que la prospérité naît de l’ouverture au monde, de l’apprentissage auprès des autres et de la contribution au progrès collectif. Il a qualifié ce programme de master d’expression contemporaine de cette conviction, en reliant Sharjah et Barcelone et en réunissant deux institutions, deux cultures et deux traditions d’excellence. Le programme permet aux étudiants de bénéficier des atouts intellectuels et culturels des deux pays, tout en les préparant à des carrières prometteuses dans un monde toujours plus interconnecté.

Son Altesse a souligné que cette spécialisation constitue un véritable laboratoire où naissent de nouvelles idées, où l’information est analysée, interprétée et façonnée avant d’être partagée avec le monde. IL a indiqué que l’ère de la numérisation a profondément transformé la rapidité de circulation et de diffusion de l’information, permettant aux récits, aux plateformes et aux contenus créés par les diplômés d’atteindre des publics à travers le monde. Un tel pouvoir, a-t-il affirmé, exige humilité, intégrité et discernement.

Son Altesse a également mis en lumière le rôle de Shams en tant que troisième partenaire stratégique, contribuant à établir une collaboration solide entre le monde universitaire, l’industrie et l’économie créative. Il a expliqué que ce partenariat offre aux diplômés une expérience pratique, une ouverture à des perspectives diverses et les compétences nécessaires pour relever les défis du monde réel. Son Altesse les a encouragés à poursuivre leur quête de savoir et à inspirer les autres, tout en adressant ses remerciements à leurs familles ainsi qu’aux équipes académiques et administratives des deux universités.

Son Altesse a remis les diplômes aux 24 étudiants de cette première promotion, les a félicités et leur a souhaité plein succès dans leur future carrière.

Avant la cérémonie, Son Altesse s’est entretenue avec le professeur Joan Guàrdia Olmos, recteur de l’Université de Barcelone, afin d’examiner les moyens de renforcer la coopération académique et scientifique entre les deux établissements. Il a également visité plusieurs installations universitaires, notamment les infrastructures académiques, la salle de remise des diplômes, la bibliothèque ainsi que la collection de manuscrits et d’ouvrages rares.

En marge de cette visite, Son Altesse a assisté à la signature d’un protocole d’accord entre Sharjah Media City (Shams) et la Faculté de philologie et de communication de l’Université de Barcelone. L’accord a été signé par Rashid Abdullah Al Obad, directeur général de Sharjah Media City (Shams), et le professeur Joan G. Burguera, doyen de la Faculté de philologie et de communication de l’Université de Barcelone. Il établit un cadre de coopération dans les domaines des médias, de l’innovation numérique, de l’entrepreneuriat, de la recherche scientifique et des industries créatives.

Le protocole d’accord prévoit également la promotion des échanges académiques et professionnels, l’organisation de programmes de formation, de conférences, de séminaires et d’ateliers, ainsi que le soutien aux talents nationaux, le développement de l’entrepreneuriat et l’accompagnement des projets innovants des étudiants afin de les transformer en produits médiatiques commercialisables. Il réaffirme ainsi l’engagement de Shams à nouer des partenariats avec les plus prestigieuses institutions universitaires.

In Line With the LEAP | 28 Portfolio Rotation Strategy, Bureau Veritas Signs an Agreement to Sell Its Oil & Petrochemicals and Coal Testing and Inspection Business

COURBEVOIE, France - Tuesday, 30. June 2026

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Bureau Veritas, a global leader in Testing, Inspection, and Certification services (TIC), announces that it has entered exclusive negotiations with Triton Partners regarding the sale of its Oil & Petrochemicals and Coal testing and inspection business. This strategic divestment is in full alignment with the Group’s LEAP | 28 strategy.

The proposed transaction would include the Oil & Petrochemicals and Coal testing and inspection activities. In 2025, this business generated approximately EUR 450 million in revenue operating a global network across multiple countries, with a significant footprint of operational sites and employees.

This business grew at a lower rate than the Group and is margin dilutive. It is included within Bureau Veritas’ “Optimize value and impact” portfolio and reported under the Agri-Food & Commodities division. The transaction supports the strategic objective to increase exposure to higher growth and margin businesses.

A key milestone in LEAP | 28 portfolio rotation

This transaction represents a significant milestone in Bureau Veritas’ portfolio transformation. Following completion and taking into account other recent acquisitions year-to-date, the Group will have executed approximately 20% portfolio rotation since the launch of LEAP | 28.

“This divestment is fully aligned with our LEAP | 28 strategy and our commitment to actively manage our portfolio,” said Hinda Gharbi, Chief Executive Officer of Bureau Veritas. “The Oil & Petrochemicals and Coal business operates in established and mature markets, and is led by a global team. Under the leadership of Triton Partners, we are confident that this business will continue to develop successfully. This transaction will create shareholders value as Bureau Veritas accelerates its planned portfolio pivots towards higher growth and higher margin activities.”

The transaction, based on an enterprise value of EUR 470 million, implies an EV/EBIT multiple of 11.1x on 2025 results post IFRS16. The disposal will have a positive impact on the Group’s organic growth profile, adjusted operating margin and return on capital employed. The deal is anticipated to be broadly neutral to earnings after closing.

Bureau Veritas intends to redeploy the proceeds towards higher-growth and higher-margin businesses, in line with LEAP I 28 portfolio ambitions.

Transaction terms and timetable

This contemplated transaction, currently under negotiation, will be subject to information and consultation procedures with the relevant employee representative bodies, and could be finalized by the end of Q1 2027, subject to the fulfillment of customary conditions precedent.
