Bitget Brings Crypto Into Everyday Spending With APAC Launch of Bitget Card

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 6 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), in partnership with Visa and DCS, launched the Bitget Card across selected markets in Asia Pacific (APAC), extending crypto out of exchanges into everyday spending and marking another step toward a more unified financial experience where digital assets work quietly in the background of daily life.

The initial rollout makes a virtual Bitget Card available to APAC users, with a physical card set to follow in the coming months. Issued in collaboration with DCS and powered by Visa’s global payments network, Bitget Card enables users to convert crypto into fiat for everyday spending across merchants across APAC. Payments are processed instantly and feel no different from a standard card transaction, removing the friction typically associated with off-ramping or manual conversion. Crypto operates quietly in the background while users transact through familiar payment rails, supporting seamless everyday adoption

“Partnerships across the ecosystem are key to bringing digital assets into everyday payments,” said Joan Han, COO of DCS and DeCard. “By combining Bitget’s ecosystem with DCS’s issuing infrastructure and Visa’s global acceptance network, the Bitget Card enables users to move from crypto holdings to everyday spending through a familiar card experience.”

To accompany the launch, Bitget Card offers one of the most competitive reward structures in the region, with up to 20% cashback on eligible spending, capped at $800. Low foreign exchange fees further position the card for globally mobile users who expect spending tools to work across borders without friction.

“For crypto to become truly mainstream, it can’t ask people to constantly think about it,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “It should operate quietly in the background while people go about living their lives. Bitget Card reflects the shift where crypto becomes infrastructure, not an interruption.”

The launch aligns with Bitget’s Universal Exchange vision, which brings crypto, derivatives, and tokenised traditional assets into a single ecosystem. By extending that framework into payments through partnerships with Visa and DCS, Bitget is narrowing the gap between digital assets and real-world commerce, allowing users to move between markets and everyday spending without switching contexts.

Additional features include enhanced benefits for VIP members, including higher rebates and complimentary physical card issuance once available.

“As digital assets become more widely held, consumers increasingly expect simple and reliable ways to use that value in everyday life,” said Adeline Kim, Country Manager for Singapore & Brunei at Visa. “The Bitget Card reflects how payments are evolving — enabling a seamless move from digital assets to everyday spending through a familiar Visa card experience, at scale and across borders.”

Looking ahead, Bitget plans to expand the Bitget Card with premium physical designs, fee-free ATM withdrawals of up to $100 per month, and access to a global network of airport lounges, reinforcing its positioning as a long-term lifestyle payment tool.

As financial systems continue to converge, the line between crypto and traditional finance is becoming less visible to consumers. With Bitget Card, digital assets integrate seamlessly into everyday payments, allowing users to spend, travel, and move globally through familiar card experiences.

VOCALBEATS.AI, NTU SINGAPORE PARTNER TO LAUNCH AI SCHOLARSHIP

KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 (Bernama) -- Vocalbeats.AI, a Singapore-based artificial intelligence (AI)-powered audio company, has partnered with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) to establish the Vocalbeats.AI‑Turing AI Scholarship.

The scholarship aims to recognise and support outstanding undergraduates from NTU’s College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS), in line with the company’s commitment to developing AI talent.

Vocalbeats.AI Chief Executive Officer, Marco Lai Jinnan in a statement said voice AI is reshaping how people connect across languages and cultures.

“This scholarship is our commitment to ensuring we have the world-class talent to advance that frontier, and our experience working with NTU students and graduates has shown us what is possible when the brightest young minds take on real-world challenges,” he added.

Meanwhile, Dean of NTU’s College of Computing and Data Science and Vice President (AI & Digital Economy), Professor Luke Ong said the collaboration underscores the importance of industry-academia partnerships in developing AI talent and providing students with practical exposure.

Recipients will have opportunities to pursue internships, mentorships and potential career pathways within the company as it expands its global operations.

The initiative comes amid growing global demand for AI engineering talent, which continues to outpace supply. In Singapore, the National AI Strategy 2.0 aims to triple the country’s AI practitioner pool, with industry playing a key role alongside universities.

Vocalbeats.AI has also strengthened its engagement with universities through internship programmes, with one of the NTU graduates transitioning into a full-time role and currently contributing to the company’s research capabilities.

Bitget Expands Agent Hub Ecosystem Through MuleRun Partnership to Advance Agentic Trading

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 2 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), announced a strategic product partnership with MuleRun, an industry-leading self-evolving AI Agent, to launch a personal AI-powered trading assistant that brings institutional-grade market signals to everyday investors through natural language.

MuleRun is a self-evolving personal AI platform that lets users deploy workflows through natural language with no technical setup. It runs 24/7 on cloud-based virtual machines and is built to keep tasks, monitoring, and scheduled jobs running continuously, even when users are offline.

The collaboration marks a new milestone in AI-driven trading infrastructure as professional-level financial intelligence becomes more accessible to mainstream users. Through the integration of Bitget Agent Hub’s AI financial data ecosystem with MuleRun’s always-on personal AI environment, users can now access structured market analysis, monitor opportunities across asset classes, and build automated trading workflows through simple conversation, without requiring technical expertise.

The launch reflects a broader shift in investor behavior. As markets become more interconnected and volatility spreads across crypto, equities, commodities, currencies, and macro-driven assets, users are looking for systems that can do more than display data. They want intelligent tools that can interpret live information, track multiple markets continuously, and deliver timely, actionable insights in a form that is easy to use. For many retail investors, the core barriers remain the same: market data is too complex, round-the-clock monitoring is difficult, and AI hallucinations when timeliness and reliability of market data are uncertain.

This partnership is designed to address those constraints across data, intelligence, security, and execution. Through Bitget Agent Hub, MuleRun users gain access to a financial analytics framework spanning 19 data tools across crypto, U.S. equities, gold, crude oil, forex, A-shares, on-chain metrics, social sentiment, and 16 macroeconomic indicators including CPI, GDP, and FOMC decisions. Bitget’s Skill Hub further translates this data into specialized AI capabilities across macro analysis, technical analysis, sentiment analysis, market intelligence, and news briefings, making advanced financial interpretation available through plain-language interaction.

“We see a clear shift toward trading environments where analysis, monitoring, and execution are increasingly unified,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Partnering with MuleRun helps us move in that direction by combining Bitget’s market intelligence capabilities with a highly accessible personal AI interface.”

The integration signals Bitget’s continued push toward an agent-native trading future, where AI does more than assist with information retrieval and becomes a persistent market companion capable of observing conditions, surfacing signals, and supporting action in real time. Through Agent Hub, GetClaw, and its broader Universal Exchange architecture, Bitget is building the infrastructure layer for this next phase of trading, one in which intelligent agents operate securely across analysis, automation, and execution within a single connected environment.

Neinor Homes and Stoneshield Capital Launch €150mn Partnership to Develop Premium Residential Project in Marbella

 

• €150mn investment will develop 262 high-quality residences in Marbella, one of Europe’s most sought-after residential markets.

MADRID, April 1 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neinor Homes (“Neinor”), Spain’s leading listed residential developer, has formed a joint venture with Stoneshield Capital (“Stoneshield”) to develop a premium residential project in Marbella, marking its entry into the high-end residential segment and further expanding its Asset Management platform.

HOLAFLY REPORT HIGHLIGHTS SUSTAINABILITY GAP IN TRAVEL DECISIONS

KUALA LUMPUR, March 30 (Bernama) -- The Holafly eSIM & Travel Report revealed that 42 per cent of travellers actively take steps to travel more responsibly, highlighting a growing awareness of environmental impact among global explorers.

However, only 22.5 per cent rank sustainability among their top priorities when planning a trip, indicating that price, convenience, and other practical factors often outweigh environmental considerations.

“The message from travellers is clear: people want to make responsible choices, but those choices need to be simple and accessible. Sustainability will only scale when responsible options are seamlessly integrated into the travel experience,” said Holafly Brand Director, Daniela Prado.

In the report, Holafly, an eSIM provider, revealed new insights into how sustainability is shaping travel decisions worldwide with a clear hierarchy between intention and decision-making.

This gap between values and practical choices reflects a broader trend across the travel industry as travellers widely support sustainable tourism in principle, but translating those intentions into booking decisions remains complex.

In addition, Holafly stated in a statement that many travellers express the desire to reduce their environmental footprint, yet affordability, accessibility and overall travel experience still tend to shape final choices.

Holafly’s eSIM products contribute to more responsible travel by replacing traditional SIM cards, reducing emissions linked to production, packaging, and global distribution.

The company estimates that each eSIM prevents approximately 114.7 grammes of carbon dioxide (CO₂), with over 15 million eSIMs sold worldwide avoiding more than 1,700 tonnes of CO₂.

As the travel sector faces growing climate awareness, the challenge remains turning environmental values into practical, seamless choices that travellers can adopt without friction.
