Bitget Launches Industry-First Cross-Asset Unified Account With 100 US Stock Tokens as Margin

VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 20 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched the industry's first Cross-Asset Unified Account (UTA), bringing more than 370 eligible assets—including 100 US stock tokens (rTokens)—into a single margin pool. The launch extends unified margin beyond crypto, allowing tokenized equities to function alongside digital assets within one account.

As crypto and traditional financial markets become increasingly connected, users expect assets to do more than represent ownership. The next stage of tokenization focuses on utility, allowing assets to support multiple financial activities from a single account. Bitget's Cross-Asset Unified Account advances that shift by integrating tokenized US equities into the same capital framework used for crypto trading.

The Cross-Asset Unified Account represents the third evolution of exchanges’ trading account architecture, with each stage focused on improving capital efficiency. The first generation isolated margin by asset and position, leaving capital fragmented across multiple accounts. The second unified multiple cryptocurrencies into a single margin pool, allowing one pool of collateral to support multiple crypto positions. The latest generation extends that framework beyond cryptocurrencies, bringing tokenized US stocks and other real-world assets into the same unified margin system. By giving RWAs the same status and utility as crypto, the Cross-Asset Unified Account allows eligible assets across different markets to work together within a single capital framework.

“Bringing stocks onchain is the first step but the real breakthrough comes when those assets can work with the same flexibility as crypto,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Capital efficiency is one of the principles behind UEX, and the Cross-Asset UTA puts that idea into practice. A stock position should be able to hold value, support another trade, or unlock liquidity instead of sitting in isolation.”

Eligible rTokens can now serve several purposes simultaneously. Users can maintain exposure to the underlying US equities, receive cash dividend distributions where applicable, use rTokens as margin for futures and margin trading, or pledge them as collateral to borrow stablecoins. The same asset can support multiple portfolio strategies without requiring users to exit their positions.

The initial rollout supports 100 tokenized US equities spanning leading US-listed companies, including rAAPL, rAMZN, rMETA, rTSLA, rGOOGL, rNVDA, rMSFT, rQQQ, rSPY, rJPM, rWMT, rV, and rMSTR, among others. Eligible collateral receives discount rates of up to 95%, subject to asset-specific tiers and holding size. Borrowing rates remain market-based and update hourly according to supply and demand.

The Cross-Asset Unified Account builds on the rapid expansion of Bitget's tokenized equities ecosystem. Since the launch of the licensed RWA protocol Reality, rToken, the RWA asset issued by Reality, has surpassed $100 million in assets under management within its first month, while generating more than $671 million in cumulative trading volume. By bringing tokenized equities into the same capital framework as crypto assets, Bitget is extending their role beyond market access to capital deployment, allowing users to trade, borrow, and manage global assets more efficiently through a single account.

Bitget plans to continue expanding the range of assets supported within the Cross-Asset Unified Account as the Universal Exchange evolves to connect crypto and traditional financial markets through a single trading experience.

Nammos Residences will feature 72 apartments and a penthouse, while Nammos Resort will offer 79 hotel keys across five accommodation categories. Residents and visitors will have access to hospitality, wellness and recreational amenities within the emerging coastal city.

Modon Holding Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Bill O'Regan said Ras El Hekma is rapidly emerging as one of the Mediterranean's most ambitious destinations, adding that the project strengthens the company's vision of developing a year-round city offering world-class living, leisure and investment opportunities.

Meanwhile, Nammos Chairman, Petros Stathis said the launch marks a significant milestone in the brand's global expansion strategy, describing Egypt's North Coast as an ideal location to extend the Nammos brand.

Nammos Hotels & Resorts CEO, Carolyn Turnbull said the destination has been designed to seamlessly integrate hospitality, residences and lifestyle experiences while reflecting the energy and identity that have defined the Nammos brand for more than two decades.

Nammos Ras El Hekma forms part of the 170.8 million square metre Ras El Hekma masterplan, which is expected to attract US$110 billion in investment by 2045, according to a statement.

Wadi Yemm is the first of the development's 17 precincts to enter the delivery phase, with the wider project planned as a mixed-use city featuring residential, commercial, tourism and cultural districts supported by road, sea and air connectivity.

HEALING MEETS HOSPITALITY COMES TO LIFE THROUGH DR WIRA & SISTER MANJA

Dato' Sri Siti Nurhaliza, Brand Ambassador of Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), pictured with Dr Wira and Sister Manja official plushies, following MHTC's strategic collaboration with Tourism Malaysia in conjunction with MYMT 2026 and VM2026.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) today introduced Dr Wira and Sister Manja, Malaysia Healthcare's healthcare-inspired interpretation of Wira and Manja, the official mascots of Visit Malaysia 2026. Developed in collaboration with Tourism Malaysia, the initiative extends the spirit of Visit Malaysia 2026 into Malaysia's medical tourism story, bringing Malaysia Healthcare's brand promise of Healing Meets Hospitality to life while supporting the Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026 (MYMT2026).

Originally introduced as the official mascots of Visit Malaysia 2026, Wira and Manja were inspired by the Malayan Sun Bear, one of Malaysia's most treasured native species. Beyond celebrating the country's rich biodiversity, the duo embodies the warmth, resilience, friendliness and welcoming spirit that define the Malaysian experience. These qualities have long shaped how visitors experience Malaysia as a tourism destination. Today, MHTC builds on that same foundation by translating these values into the healthcare journey, where patients are welcomed with world-class clinical expertise, compassionate care and genuine Malaysian hospitality.

Recognising the strong alignment between the values represented by Wira and Manja and the Malaysia Healthcare experience, MHTC has reimagined the beloved tourism mascots as Dr Wira and Sister Manja. Rather than creating new mascots, this healthcare-inspired interpretation extends the story of Visit Malaysia 2026 into medical tourism, illustrating how the same Malaysian hospitality that welcomes visitors also accompanies patients throughout their healthcare journey.

While portrayed as a doctor and a nurse, Dr Wira and Sister Manja do not represent individual professions. Instead, they symbolise the entire Malaysia Healthcare ecosystem, honouring the collective contributions of doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, researchers, therapists, patient coordinators, caregivers and hospital support teams who work seamlessly together to deliver safe, high-quality and patient-centred care. Together, they embody the values that define Malaysia Healthcare: world-class clinical excellence, compassionate care, multidisciplinary collaboration, innovation and genuine Malaysian hospitality.

Every patient's journey is unique, yet what many remember most extends beyond successful treatment. They remember the reassuring smile before a procedure, the doctor who patiently explained every step of their care, the nurse who offered comfort during recovery, the patient coordinator who continued to check on them after returning home, and the many healthcare professionals whose kindness made them feel at home while receiving treatment in Malaysia.

These moments of empathy, attentiveness and genuine care, demonstrated by healthcare professionals across the country, have become hallmarks of the Malaysia Healthcare experience. They reflect a culture where healing goes beyond medicine, creating an environment where patients feel respected, reassured and cared for throughout every stage of their journey.
 
"Wira and Manja have become familiar representatives of Malaysia's warmth and hospitality through Visit Malaysia 2026. By reimagining them as Dr Wira and Sister Manja, we are extending that same Malaysian spirit into healthcare, celebrating the people and values that have made Malaysia a preferred healthcare destination. They are not simply characters in medical uniforms, but a reflection of the compassion, professionalism and hospitality that patients experience throughout their healthcare journey,” said Dato’ Suriaghandi Suppiah, CEO of Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council.

With Dato' Sri Siti Nurhaliza serving as the official Malaysia Healthcare Brand Ambassador, the introduction of Dr Wira and Sister Manja further strengthens Malaysia Healthcare's brand narrative under the Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026. While Dato' Sri Siti continues to champion Malaysia's healthcare excellence with her trusted voice, authenticity and influence, Dr Wira and Sister Manja complement that role by bringing the Healing Meets Hospitality promise to life through visual storytelling and meaningful public engagement. Together, they reinforce Malaysia Healthcare's commitment to delivering not only world-class treatment but also a healthcare experience defined by compassion, empathy and genuine Malaysian hospitality.

Dr Wira and Sister Manja will make their public debut at selected Malaysia Healthcare engagements throughout the Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026. Members of the public can also meet the mascots at the MH Wellness Fair on 16 July 2026 at Taylor's University Lakeside Campus, where they will have the opportunity to participate in a lucky draw to win the exclusive Dr Wira and Sister Manja plushies as well as MHTC X Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza’s exclusive postcard.

Because in Malaysia, healing begins with hospitality, and hospitality begins with people.

Liberty General Insurance Introduces PA Flex: Personal Accident Protection That Flexes With Your Life

KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 (Bernama) -- Life today looks very different from a decade ago. Malaysians are living more active lifestyles, travelling more frequently, balancing multiple responsibilities, and navigating an increasingly unpredictable environment.

Accidents and unforeseen events can happen anytime and anywhere, potentially disrupting income, creating unexpected expenses, and affecting the wellbeing of individuals and families. Yet affordability concerns and changing priorities have contributed to a growing protection gap, leaving many Malaysians underprotected against life's unexpected moments.

For Malaysians travelling during festive seasons or relying on public transport, PA Flex provides double indemnity benefits for accidents occurring during Malaysian public holidays or while travelling as a passenger on public transport, offering enhanced protection when people are most likely to be on the move.
 
Designed for Modern Lifestyles
As Malaysians increasingly embrace active and experience-driven lifestyles, PA Flex extends beyond conventional personal accident coverage to protect customers during everyday activities and recreational pursuits.
 
The plan provides protection against everyday risks such as food poisoning, drowning, insect and animal bites, and accidental suffocation caused by smoke, fumes or poisonous gases.

RECORD UNVEILS SHARIA-COMPLIANT INVESTMENT PLATFORM

KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 (Bernama) -- Record Asset Management GmbH (RAM), a subsidiary of London-listed Record Financial Group plc (Record), has launched Record Amanah, a platform offering Sharia-compliant investment solutions to institutional investors, as it expands its private markets business.

The platform, developed in partnership with London-based Islamic finance advisory firm Khalij Group, will initially focus on private markets and private equity investments structured in accordance with Sharia principles while maintaining Record's investment, risk management and governance standards, according to a statement.

Record chief executive officer (CEO), Jan Hendrik Witte said the platform builds on the group's experience in delivering Sharia-compliant investment solutions and strengthens its ability to serve institutional clients seeking private market opportunities.

Meanwhile, Khalij Group CEO, Asim Khan said the partnership combines Islamic finance principles with Record's institutional investment expertise and global reach to provide investors with access to Sharia-compliant private market investments.

The launch follows a series of Sharia-compliant transactions completed by Record, including its most recent deal for a client in Brunei, and comes amid growing demand from institutional investors for investments that combine risk-adjusted returns with Islamic finance principles.

Record said the initiative expands its private markets capabilities and supports its strategy of broadening its international client base, particularly in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, where demand for Sharia-compliant investment solutions continues to grow.

Record manages approximately US$115 billion in assets for institutional clients worldwide, including pension funds, foundations, sovereign institutions and asset managers. Headquartered in London, the group operates offices in Europe, the United States and Asia. (US$1=RM4.07)
