VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 25 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has introduced major upgrades to its CFD Copy Trading system, giving followers greater control over risk management through new position sizing models, independent take-profit and stop-loss settings, and advanced exposure controls.
Copy trading has become one of the most popular ways for users to participate in financial markets, allowing traders to replicate the strategies of experienced market participants. However, as adoption has grown, many users have encountered challenges associated with traditional copy trading models, particularly when differences in risk tolerance and trading style create unintended exposure.
To address these concerns, Bitget’s latest upgrade introduces two new position sizing models. Under Fixed Ratio mode, position sizes are automatically adjusted according to the relative account equity of the follower and the trader being copied, reducing the risks associated with capital mismatches. Fixed Lot mode allows followers to define a predetermined position size for every copied trade, giving users more direct control over their exposure regardless of the trader’s order size.
The update also introduces independent take-profit and stop-loss settings for followers, allowing users to establish personal risk thresholds separate from those of the trader they follow. Once a predefined profit or loss level is reached, positions can be automatically closed based on the follower’s individual settings. Additional controls, including maximum copy lot limits and custom lot multipliers, provide further flexibility for both new and experienced users.
“Copy trading does mean giving up control of your account,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “As users become more sophisticated, they want the ability to benefit from experienced traders while managing risk according to their own objectives. This upgrade shifts copy trading from simple strategy replication toward a more personalized and controlled trading experience.”
The enhancements were developed in response to user feedback and reflect a broader industry shift toward more flexible risk management tools. As traders increasingly participate across crypto and traditional financial markets, demand continues to grow for products that balance accessibility with greater control over capital allocation and risk exposure.
The launch follows Bitget’s continued expansion of its CFD offering within the Universal Exchange ecosystem, which brings together crypto, stocks, commodities, foreign exchange products, and derivatives through a unified trading environment. Earlier this month, Bitget was recognized as the “Best Global Multi-Asset Trading Platform” at the Online Trading Expo, marking the company’s first award in the CFD sector and reflecting growing industry recognition of its multi-asset trading strategy. By strengthening risk management capabilities within copy trading, Bitget continues enhancing the tools and infrastructure available to traders participating across global markets.

USERCENTRICS: OVER HALF CONSUMERS WILL PAY PREMIUM FOR AI TRANSPARENCY
 |
| Over Half of Consumers Will Pay More for Brands That Are Transparent About AI Data Use, New Usercentrics Research Finds |
KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 (Bernama) -- Over half (52 per cent) of consumers globally are willing to pay more for brands that are transparent about how they use artificial intelligence (AI) with their data, accepting an average premium of seven per cent, according to the second annual State of Digital Trust 2026 Report commissioned by Usercentrics.
Germany recorded the highest level of willingness to pay for AI transparency, with 73 per cent of consumers prepared to pay a nine per cent premium. In contrast, Italy recorded the lowest average premium at five per cent, although 42 per cent of consumers said they would pay more for AI transparency.
“Consumers are making purchasing decisions based on how brands handle their data, and over half are willing to pay more to the ones that get it right.
“The brands that move first will not just earn the premium. They will earn a category position that is almost impossible to compete against once it is established,” said Usercentrics Strategy & Market Intelligence representative, Tilman Harmeling in a statement.
The report also found that 47 per cent of consumers surveyed had taken at least one action with direct revenue implications in the past six months due to concerns about how their data was being used in AI, including cancelling a subscription, switching to a competitor or reducing their spending.
Consumers have increasingly shifted from passive acceptance to active decision-making, driven by a steady accumulation of data breaches, AI training controversies and cookie banner enforcement actions.
The findings further revealed that 71 per cent of consumers consider AI-driven personalisation intrusive, while 48 per cent click “accept all” on cookie banners less frequently than they did three years ago, up from 46 per cent in 2025. Privacy-aware consumers were also found to be nearly three times more comfortable with personalised online experiences than those who were less aware of privacy issues.
Conducted by Sapio Research, the survey polled 11,000 consumers across seven markets, namely the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and Sweden, with fieldwork conducted in March 2026.

ATEIOS SYSTEMS ACHIEVES INTERTEK PFAS-FREE CERTIFICATION FOR RAICORE PORTFOLIO
KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 (Bernama) -- Ateios Systems, a United States (US)-based advanced battery electrode manufacturer, announced that its full RaiCore composite portfolio has been certified per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-Free by Intertek Sustainability.
Spanning LCO, NMC and LFP cathodes as well as graphite anodes, the certification marks a significant milestone for the battery industry, according to Ateios Systems in a statement.
Issued under Intertek certificate PF-10025-2026a and valid through April 29, 2027, the certification requires Total Organic Fluorine to remain below 20 milligrammes per kilogramme (mg/kg), as measured under ASTM D7359-23.
The certified products are listed in the public Intertek Sustainability Certification Directory, providing customers with a verifiable reference. Samples for testing and certification were supported by NSF Energy Storage Engine funding.
“Battery manufacturers no longer must choose between performance and compliance. Our pilots with leading OEMs confirm RaiCore electrodes exceed PVDF-based materials across every key metric.
“This certification provides procurement and sustainability teams with the independent verification,” said Ateios Systems Chief Executive Officer, Rajan Kumar.
For decades, lithium-ion manufacturers have relied on fluorinated binders such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for their chemical stability. However, PFAS, commonly known as “forever chemicals”, persist in the environment and have been linked by health authorities to a range of health concerns.
As PFAS regulations tighten globally, fluorinated materials are expected to increase costs related to regulatory testing, restricted-substance reporting, emissions controls, supplier audits and liability management. These risks are particularly significant in the battery sector, where product lifecycles are long and requalification processes can be costly.
The company said PFAS-free status is increasingly becoming a condition of sale, with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) incorporating restricted-substance requirements into supplier qualifications, while ecolabels such as EPEAT recognise PFAS as chemicals of concern. In addition, government purchasers in the US and the European Union are linking procurement eligibility to similar standards.

The Community Product Officer Program creates a direct channel for users to share ideas, challenge assumptions and be part of building a better platform together.”
Beyond cash rewards, the initiative creates a long term pathway for community members to contribute directly to Bitget’s product evolution.
