Bitget Launches Anti-Scam Month 2026, Recovers $32.3 Million for Users

 

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 10 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched Anti-Scam Month 2026 under the theme “More Assets, Stronger Shield. Stay Safe in the Multi-Asset Era.” The annual initiative focuses on helping users navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape as digital asset platforms expand beyond crypto into broader multi-asset ecosystems.

The campaign is accompanied by the release of key security and fraud prevention results from 2025. During the year, Bitget intercepted more than 150 million malicious attack requests, identified over 13,000 high-risk malicious IP addresses, and handled 18,135 user protection cases. The platform’s security team also helped users recover approximately $32.3 million linked to security incidents and fraudulent activity.

“The industry is entering a multi-asset era where users can access a wider range of products and markets through a single platform. As that access expands, security responsibilities increase too,” said Hon Ng, Chief Legal Officer at Bitget. “Protecting users requires continuous risk monitoring, rapid response mechanisms, security education, and close cooperation across the industry. Anti-Scam Month reflects the importance of building those protections alongside product innovation.”

Throughout 2025, Bitget continued to strengthen its security framework across account protection, asset custody, fraud prevention, and platform risk management. The platform expanded Passkey authentication capabilities based on FIDO2 and WebAuthn standards, enhanced multi-factor authentication coverage for high-risk account actions, strengthened anti-phishing protections, and improved device management controls that allow users to monitor and manage account access in real time.

Bitget also expanded its real-time threat detection and web security infrastructure in 2025. Security systems recorded more than 2.8 billion interceptions through custom protection rules and mitigated over 1.5 billion DDoS-related attack attempts. The platform’s monitoring capabilities were further enhanced through machine learning-based behavioral analysis designed to identify suspicious activity and emerging threats across multiple layers of the ecosystem.

User education remained a major focus of Bitget’s security strategy. Anti-Scam Month campaigns conducted across 2024 and 2025 reached approximately 1.38 billion users globally through security awareness content, educational resources, and community engagement initiatives. The company also expanded its Anti-Scam Hub, maintained its public bug bounty program, and introduced interactive initiatives such as the Smarter Eyes Challenge, which attracted close to 50,000 participants through simulated phishing and scam detection exercises.

Bitget continued to collaborate with leading blockchain security organizations, including SlowMist and Elliptic, to support threat intelligence sharing, anti-fraud research, and broader industry awareness efforts. Through a combination of platform security, user education, and industry cooperation, the company continues to invest in creating a safer environment for users navigating digital and tokenized financial markets.

Fiamma Sharpens Product Development Strategy to Capture Malaysia’s Evolving Home Appliance Market

KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 (Bernama) -- Fiamma Holdings Bhd is sharpening its product development strategy as it expands beyond its traditional kitchen appliance base into broader home, lifestyle, cooling and healthcare-related categories.

Group chief executive officer Jimmy Tan Chee Wee said the group’s focus remains on understanding Malaysian consumers and developing products that are practical, relevant and suited to local living conditions.

“Malaysia is our home market. We understand how consumers live, cook, renovate and use appliances. That gives us an advantage when we work with partners to develop products that solve real pain points.”

Fiamma owns and distributes brands including ELBA, RUBINE, FABER, TUSCANI and HAUSTERN. It also distributes selected international brands across home appliance, healthcare and medical device categories.

Tan said Fiamma’s advantage lies in combining consumer insights, dealer feedback and supplier relationships to introduce products that meet local needs. Rather than moving immediately into manufacturing, the group remains focused on asset-light sourcing, product customisation and co-development with established factories.

“For now, our priority is product relevance, quality, speed to market and customer experience. Manufacturing is not something we are rushing into. It has to make commercial sense.”

Fiamma has been refreshing its brand portfolio. ELBA targets the mass-market segment, RUBINE is positioned around design and innovation, while FABER has been repositioned with a contemporary identity focused on small domestic appliances and lifestyle-led products.

Tan said the product strategy is built around products, partners and people. Before launching new models, Fiamma studies consumer behaviour, market data, competitor offerings and dealer feedback, followed by prototype testing, technical vetting, certification and after-sales readiness.

Recent developments include a slimline instantaneous water heater with energy optimisation and sensing features to help maintain water temperature despite water pressure fluctuations.

Fiamma is also enhancing kitchen ventilation products, including cooker hoods for condominiums and homes without external ducting, with some models using sensor-driven features to adjust fan speed based on cooking fumes.

Beyond kitchen appliances, Fiamma is expanding into laundry, cleaning, dishwashing and cooling solutions as part of its broader home-solutions strategy.

In air-conditioning, the group established a distribution joint venture under the VINO brand with a Zhuhai-based manufacturer. Operations began in July 2025, with Fiamma focusing on channel development, installer training, after-sales readiness and project specification work.

“The first two to three years are about building confidence. Air-conditioning is not just about selling a box. Installation and service quality are critical.”

The group is also building its healthcare and medical devices business, covering hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and consumer healthcare outlets, supported by rising health awareness and an ageing population.

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, Fiamma’s revenue rose 5.9% year-on-year to RM104.36 million, supported mainly by the Trading and Services segment, which grew 11.6% to RM87.0 million. Profit normalised to RM10.75 million from RM36.19 million a year earlier, as the previous corresponding quarter included non-recurring gains.

“We want growth, but it must be profitable growth. The market is competitive, so we must be disciplined.”

SKHTU Obtains US SEC License, Ushering in a New Era of Crypto Compliance

DENVER, June 3 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As global crypto market regulatory systems become increasingly sophisticated, compliance has become an inevitable trend for trading platform development. SKHTU Exchange recently announced its official acquisition of an operating license from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), making it one of the few compliant trading platforms meeting US securities regulatory standards. This milestone marks a significant breakthrough in the SKHTU compliance framework and lays a solid foundation for its global strategy.

The SEC, as the most authoritative financial regulator worldwide, sets licensing standards covering asset custody, investor protection, information disclosure, and anti-money laundering (AML), among other stringent requirements. Obtaining this certification means the platform must achieve the same standards as traditional securities markets in operational transparency, fund security, and compliance governance.

With the SEC license, SKHTU Exchange can provide legitimate trading services in the US and other regulated markets, covering spot, derivatives, asset management, and RWA (real-world asset) business areas. This gives the platform higher market access qualifications and provides institutional clients and multinational investors with a secure, regulation-compliant investment environment.

The SKHTU Exchange compliance team stated: “Obtaining the SEC license is not only a breakthrough in compliance, but also represents our long-term commitment to global users. Regulatory involvement is not a restriction, but the starting point for trust. We aim to provide reliable financial services for investors with a higher-standard regulatory framework.”

Industry experts believe that the SEC license is a key sign of crypto trading platforms entering the institutional stage, enabling platforms to play a deeper role in capital markets and providing a legal foundation for RWA tokenization, compliant issuance of financial derivatives, and cross-border asset allocation. As global regulatory consensus forms, platforms with SEC qualifications will have significant advantages in future market competition.

This milestone symbolizes a critical leap in the compliance landscape of SKHTU Exchange. From the crypto ecosystem to traditional finance, SKHTU uses compliance as a bridge to build safe and sustainable digital financial infrastructure, offering global users a more robust investment environment.

This successful fundraise reflects the strength of our platform and our ability to perform through cycles,” said Blackstone Private Equity Strategies Global Head, Joe Baratta in a statement.

Meanwhile, Blackstone Private Equity Head of Asia, Amit Dixit said: “We believe our differentiation lies in our scale, supported by homegrown teams across the region’s major markets; strong performance; and our control-orientated strategy that enables us to have a hands-on, proactive approach to supporting business transformations. We thank our investors for their support and partnership.”

The firm invested more than US$7 billion across 12 transactions in the region over the past 24 months.

The investments include Neysa, a fast-growing Indian artificial intelligence cloud platform; TechnoPro, Japan's leading specialised engineering services provider; and JUNO, South Korea's top hair salon franchise.

Blackstone also completed 15 exits during the same period, including the listings of International Gemological Institute and Aadhar Housing Finance, as well as its exit from Alinamin Pharmaceutical in Japan.
