AIRWALLEX POSTS TRIPLE-DIGIT REVENUE GROWTH IN SINGAPORE
KUALA LUMPUR, March 11 (Bernama) -- Airwallex, a global financial and payments platform, has reported strong financial year 2025 performance in Singapore, delivering triple-digit revenue growth for the second consecutive year, with a 107 per cent increase year-on-year and transaction volume rising 93 per cent over the same period.
Airwallex General Manager for Asia-Pacific (APAC), Arnold Chan said: “2024 was our launchpad, and 2025 solidified our lead in Singapore. In 2026, we will look to seal our leadership position across the region, building upon our momentum in Singapore.
“By staying agile to our customers’ needs and deepening our strategic partnerships, we are ready to deliver yet another standout year by driving growth for both Airwallex and the businesses that rely on our financial infrastructure to achieve their global ambitions.”
Airwallex in a statement said it also strengthened its local footprint in 2025, welcoming customers such as Minor Hotels, HipVan, and Lovet, while continuing to support brands such as GlobalTix, Endowus, and Love, Bonito in managing their global financial operations.
Along with its strong commercial momentum, Airwallex’s Singapore headcount grew by 62 per cent in 2025 with hires across its corporate, commercial, and product, engineering and design functions. The company also plans to grow its headcount by more than 70 per cent by the end of 2026.
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with regional and global growth ambitions have been a key driver of Airwallex’s growth in Singapore. A survey of 250 local SME decision-makers conducted by Censuswide between Feb 9 and 17 provided insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by this segment.
According to the survey, rising expenses have sharpened into a critical challenge, with nearly three-quarters of SMEs (73 per cent) citing it as a top concern in 2026, up from 62 per cent in 2025, underscoring mounting pressure on margins and operating models.
In addition, SMEs are pivoting from aggressive broad-market expansion to more focused regional growth strategies. Among SMEs planning to expand overseas, more than 97 per cent intend to do so within the next 18 months, suggesting that many are approaching regional expansion with more deliberate planning.
Furthermore, 67 per cent of SMEs remain optimistic about the global business environment. Confidence in Singapore remains strong, with 70 per cent agreeing that the government provides sufficient and accessible support for SMEs expanding overseas.

Bitget Signals Next Phase of Exchanges With TradFi Integration
VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 6 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has introduced a major structural upgrade to its trading interface, elevating traditional financial assets such as stocks, commodities, and forex into a standalone product category alongside crypto trading. The update reflects a broader shift in how exchanges are evolving as crypto infrastructure increasingly supports global financial markets.
Across the industry, exchanges have begun adding traditional assets to their platforms, including equities, indices, and precious metals. While this trend signals growing maturity in digital asset markets, many platforms continue to treat traditional assets as secondary features within crypto-focused trading environments.
Bitget’s latest update takes a different approach by restructuring the platform to give traditional financial products equal prominence. The platform now separates crypto trading and traditional asset trading into distinct core navigation sections, enabling users to access each market through dedicated interfaces tailored to their trading behaviors and risk profiles.
The change reflects the growing convergence between digital assets and traditional finance. While the global crypto market currently represents roughly $2.4 trillion in value, traditional financial markets span nearly $900 trillion across equities, commodities, foreign exchange, and other instruments. As tokenization technologies and real-world asset (RWA) infrastructure mature, an increasing share of traditional financial activity is expected to move onto blockchain-based settlement layers.
“Crypto infrastructure is gradually becoming the settlement layer for global financial markets,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “The future of exchanges will not be defined by whether they offer crypto or traditional assets, but by how effectively they integrate both. Our goal with this update was to move beyond simply listing traditional products and instead build an environment where crypto and TradFi can operate as equal components of a unified trading ecosystem.”
The platform update follows a series of product expansions introduced by Bitget over the past year. The exchange first integrated on-chain trading capabilities, followed by the launch of tokenized stock perpetual contracts. In late 2025, Bitget introduced contracts for difference (CFD) trading, allowing users to access global markets such as equities, commodities, and forex using stablecoin-based settlement.
Bitget has also expanded its real-world asset infrastructure through partnerships, including Ondo, enabling trading access to more than 200 tokenized assets, including U.S. stocks and ETFs. These developments collectively laid the groundwork for the platform’s new interface structure.
Under the updated design, crypto spot and derivatives trading are consolidated within a single “Trade” tab, while traditional financial products, including CFDs, stock perpetual contracts, and tokenized equities, are accessible through a dedicated TradFi tab placed directly alongside it in the main navigation.
According to Bitget, the structural change reflects how modern traders increasingly manage portfolios across multiple asset classes rather than identifying strictly as crypto or stock traders. The new layout aims to simplify navigation while giving traditional financial products greater visibility and strategic importance within the platform.
The update also aligns with Bitget’s broader Universal Exchange (UEX) strategy, which focuses on bringing crypto-native assets, tokenized securities, and traditional markets into a single trading infrastructure.
Industry projections suggest that as tokenized equities, stablecoin liquidity, and on-chain settlement mature, a significant share of global stock trading could eventually move through blockchain-based rails. By 2030, estimates suggest that between 20% and 40% of global equity trading could route through crypto-native infrastructure.
Within this environment, Bitget positions its Universal Exchange framework as a platform designed to support this convergence at scale.
“As markets evolve, the distinction between crypto and traditional finance becomes less meaningful to users,” Gracy Chen added. “The next phase of exchange infrastructure will be defined by platforms that allow assets from both worlds to coexist seamlessly within a single trading environment.”
The latest update marks a foundational step in Bitget’s long-term strategy to support cross-asset trading as tokenized financial markets continue to expand.
About Bitget
Bitget is the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), serving over 125 million users and offering access to over 2M crypto tokens, 100+ tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, FX, and precious metals such as gold.

8x8 Recognized at Asian Telecom Awards 2026 for Advancing Real-Time SMS Fraud Protection
SINGAPORE, March 3 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- 8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), a leading global business communications platform provider, won the Cybersecurity Initiative of the Year – Singapore award at the Asian Telecom Awards 2026. The award recognizes 8x8 Omni Shield, a real-time SMS fraud mitigation capability designed to help enterprises detect suspicious traffic patterns and reduce financial exposure.
As SMS-based fraud and artificial traffic inflation continue to rise globally, enterprises face increasing pressure to safeguard customer communications without disrupting legitimate messaging. 8x8 Omni Shield addresses this challenge by embedding fraud detection controls directly into 8x8 Connect, a component of the 8x8 Platform for CX. By enabling organizations to monitor messaging activity and identify anomalies, they are enabled to take immediate action within a unified, no-code interface.
During early-stage deployments, 8x8 Omni Shield identified more than 85% of fraudulent SMS traffic while maintaining reliable message delivery for authorized communications. This initial performance demonstrates the solution’s ability to support operational teams with configurable alerts, automated suspension controls, and traffic visibility tools that help reduce response times during active threat scenarios.
“Organizations require fraud prevention solutions that are both effective and operationally practical,” said Sylvain Chaperon, General Manager, CPaaS at 8x8, Inc. “This recognition reflects our focus on delivering embedded protection capabilities that allow businesses to safeguard their messaging channels without significantly adding technical complexity or introducing major external dependencies.”
8x8 Omni Shield is part of 8x8’s broader security framework supporting the 8x8 Platform for CX. The solution integrates with identity verification workflows to strengthen authentication processes and mitigate risks such as unauthorized account access and one-time password exploitation. In addition, 8x8 Silent Mobile Authentication leverages mobile network verification to validate user identity without relying solely on SMS-based authentication methods, helping reduce exposure to SIM-swap fraud.
The Asian Telecom Awards recognize telecommunications providers across the Asia-Pacific region for innovation, infrastructure development, and contributions to advancing secure digital communications. This recognition underscores 8x8’s ongoing investment in building resilient communications infrastructure that enables enterprises to scale engagement while protecting customer trust.
