EBC Financial Group Enters South Africa, Advancing Strategic Expansion in Africa

EBC Financial Group announces regulatory approval of its South African subsidiary, positioning the firm for future market access in South Africa's growing financial services sector.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Dec 3 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EBC Financial Group SA (Pty) Ltd has received approval from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority ("FSCA") as an Authorised Financial Service Provider, marking a strategic milestone in the firm's African expansion plans. This regulatory approval represents an essential first step as EBC Financial Group (“EBC”) works toward establishing a presence in South Africa's rapidly growing fintech ecosystem. 

David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd., said, "The FSCA's approval represents an important milestone in our global expansion. This complements our existing licences, such as those from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd, and other entities within our group regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), and the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius (FSC). This acquisition positions us to serve one of the continent's most active trading markets while upholding the regulatory standards and transparency that define our operations worldwide."

Strategic Entry into South Africa's Financial Market

South Africa represents a compelling growth opportunity, with a population of 63 million and 76% internet penetration, creating a substantial digitally connected market. The country's fintech sector is projected to more than double from USD7.08 billion in 2023 to USD14.86 billion by 2033, reflecting the rapid digital transformation of financial services across the region. Within this expanding ecosystem, EBC observes that South Africa's trading community demonstrates strong participation across commodities, indices, and emerging digital assets, creating demand for reliable, regulated market access.

"South Africa's traders are sophisticated and globally minded, with three-quarters of the population connected online," Barrett continued. "This digital maturity, combined with the region's appetite for diversified trading opportunities, aligns closely with our offering. As we complete the integration process, we look forward to bringing our execution capabilities and comprehensive multi-asset market access to South African traders who seek reliable and transparent trading solutions."

Education and Empowerment: Core to the EBC Philosophy

Beyond market access, EBC continues to champion trader education as a cornerstone of responsible market participation. Over the past quarter, EBC has hosted more than 1,000 multilingual webinars. Its educational initiatives also include the Pulse 360ยบ podcast series on Spotify, market insights, and trader education on EBC Trading Academy. EBC also collaborates with the Department of Economics at the University of Oxford to organise the ‘What Economists Really Do’ series. Its recent webinar, titled ‘Think Like an Economist: Financial Literacy and Economic Understanding in an Age of Complexity’ was held on 11 November 2025. EBC's digital-first educational initiatives are particularly well-suited to empower traders with the necessary facts, sound risk management practices, and financial literacy.

"Education and informed decision-making are fundamental to long-term trading success," Barrett noted. "Through our educational programmes, we aim to equip traders at all levels with the knowledge to navigate markets effectively, manage risk prudently, and adapt to evolving market conditions."

Guided by a Clear Mission

Beyond the regulatory milestone, this acquisition positions South African traders to access EBC's award-winning ecosystem that combines technological excellence with educational depth. EBC's infrastructure delivers execution speeds as low as 20ms alongside smart liquidity routing and expanded multilingual support. Proprietary tools, including the Trading Black Box and Private Room, enhance trader control over pricing and execution, supporting the platform's commitment to transparency and performance. This comprehensive approach has earned external validation through 3-year recognition from World Finance – including Most Trusted Broker and Best Trading Platform awards in 2025 – as well as the Best CFD Provider award at the 2025 Online Money Awards.

"This acquisition reflects our commitment to providing both technological excellence and educational support," Barrett added. "As we establish our presence in South Africa, we're bringing not just award-winning infrastructure, but a comprehensive approach to trading that prioritises transparency, execution quality, and continuous innovation to help traders rule the markets. Our commitment is to serve South African traders with the same standards that have earned us recognition globally."

Bitget Launches AI Trading Avatars based on Seven Trading Strategies

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Dec 1 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched six all-new AI trading avatars inside GetAgent, marking a major step toward next-generation smart trading.

As traders across the world test how well leading AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini and DeepSeek perform when placed into real trading environments, Bitget offers something more tangible: a lineup of AI traders with distinct personalities, strategies, and market philosophies, all running live, trading real accounts, and fully available for one-click copy trading.

Each avatar represents a different school of trading logic, ranging from conservative hedging and major-coin momentum to high-beta altcoin breakouts, contrarian reversals and mechanical execution. These include Steady Hedge, Majors Momentum, Altcoin Turbo, CTA Force, Infinite Grid, Dip Sniper, and DeepSeek (base model). All strategies have been built using a multi-factor library of professional trading indicators, extensive backtesting, and iterative refinement inside GetAgent.

From 18:00 on November 24 to 18:00 on December 15 (UTC+8), GetAgent users can access a limited one-click copy trading channel, selecting the avatar that aligns most closely with their trading personality. Each AI trader executes autonomously in real time, and users can follow every entry, exit, drawdown and adjustment directly in the Model Arena. With transparent performance curves, strategy documentation and real execution data, the experience offers a front row seat into how different trading strategies act under market pressure.

To encourage exploration, Bitget has launched a 10,000 USDT airdrop pool for participating users. Anyone who successfully copy-trades and sends one message to GetAgent qualifies for the reward share, and the first 100 copy trading users each day will receive contract copy trading vouchers worth up to 100 USDT.

“People want solutions they can actually use to trade,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “These avatars make trading feel more personal and more approachable. Whether someone prefers momentum, hedging, or contrarian plays, there’s now an AI companion that thinks the way they do.”

Instead of copying blindly, users can speak directly to each avatar. GetAgent allows traders to ask why an avatar entered a position, how it sets stop-loss levels, what signals it prioritizes, and how it adapts to different market cycles. New traders gain clarity and confidence, while experienced users can stress-test ideas or explore unfamiliar strategies without risk to their core portfolios.

DeepSeek, included in the lineup as an unmodified base model, serves as a benchmark. At the end of the trading camp, Bitget will publish a comparative review of how each avatar performed relative to DeepSeek, offering one of the industry’s first real-world studies on AI trading behavior across different agent designs.

Whether a trader resonates with Steady Hedge’s caution, Altcoin Turbo’s appetite for volatility, or Infinite Grid’s range-based logic, GetAgent offers a way to match strategies with preference, bringing a new layer of relatability to AI-assisted trading. Bitget’s six trading avatars bring that transparency into a single interface, powered by UEX’s infrastructure and GetAgent’s intelligent execution.

AM BEST: HONG KONG FIRE TO HIT REINSURERS, PRESSURE PROPERTY TREATY TERMS

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 2 (Bernama) -- Global credit rating agency, AM Best expects a significant share of losses from the deadly Hong Kong apartment fire to flow to reinsurers—a shift that could halt downward pressure on Hong Kong property reinsurance rates despite a globally softening market.

In its new Best’s Commentary, “Hong Kong Fire Expected to be Credit Negative for (Re)Insurers”, the credit rating agency notes that residential property all-risk policies have been viewed as low-severity exposures by Hong Kong insurers. The Tai Po high-rise blaze, however, exposes the scale of risk accumulation in dense urban condominiums.

“Loss-impacted proportional treaties will likely see commission reductions in subsequent years as a form of payback,” said AM Best senior director and head of analytics, Christie Lee in a statement.

She added that stricter underwriting standards—including unbundled coverages, more exclusions and tighter exposure controls—are expected.

In its new Best’s Commentary, “Hong Kong Fire Expected to be Credit Negative for (Re)Insurers”, the credit rating agency notes that residential property all-risk policies have been viewed as low-severity exposures by Hong Kong insurers. The Tai Po high-rise blaze, however, exposes the scale of risk accumulation in dense urban condominiums.

Losses are expected to be substantial across multiple lines—property, engineering, public liability, third-party liability, employee compensation, personal accident, motor and life insurance.

Property losses are anticipated to dominate general insurance claims, underscoring significant protection gaps in public liability, third-party liability, and professional indemnity coverage.

Primary insurers typically rely on a mix of facultative, proportional and non-proportional reinsurance programmes, meaning reinsurers will likely absorb a material portion of the gross incurred loss. With the Jan 1 renewal season approaching, AM Best said the event may prompt premium increases and tighter treaty terms.

The fire at Wang Fuk Court also adds to Hong Kong’s turbulent 2025, following record-breaking August rainfall and a series of Black Rainstorms. Preliminary estimates of US$200 million or more suggest the gross loss could reach nearly half the scale of 2018’s Typhoon Mangkhut, which caused roughly US$400 million in damage, according to the Hong Kong Federation of Insurers.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 1 (Bernama) -- North Atlantic France SAS (North Atlantic France) announced the successful closing of its acquisition of an 82.89 per cent controlling interest in Esso Sociรฉtรฉ Anonyme Franรงaise SA (Esso S.A.F.) at 26.19 euros per share and 100 per cent of ExxonMobil Chemical France SAS (EMCF) from ExxonMobil France Holding SAS (ExxonMobil), following a competitive auction process initiated in 2024. (1 Euro = RM4.79)

The transaction has received all required regulatory approvals, including French foreign direct investment authorisation and clearance under the European Union Foreign Subsidies Regulation.

Esso S.A.F. has been renamed North Atlantic Energies, marking a new chapter for the Gravenchon site in France’s energy and industrial landscape.

“This acquisition represents a major step forward in North Atlantic’s international expansion. Over the past four decades, we have successfully transformed and operated complex industrial assets across Canada, combining safety, performance, and sustainability.

“With the creation of North Atlantic Energies, we are proud to establish a bridge between North America and Europe which reflects our ambition to build a premier transatlantic energy group,” said North Atlantic Group President and Chief Executive Officer, Ted Lomond.

In a statement, North Atlantic reaffirmed its long-term commitment to the Gravenchon site, its employees, and France’s energy and industrial future.

North Atlantic Energies will maintain high standards of product quality and service while continuing collaboration with ExxonMobil under long-term supply and technology agreements to ensure operational continuity, innovation, and reliability.

SINTX, EVONIK INK SUPPLY DEAL TO SCALE SILICON NITRIDE-PEEK FOR AI-DESIGNED IMPLANTS



KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 2 (Bernama) -- SINTX Technologies Inc (SINTX) has signed a supply agreement with Evonik Corporation (EVONIK) to manufacture its proprietary silicon nitride–PEEK (SiN/PEEK) compound for artificial intelligence (AI)‑assisted additive manufacturing of patient‑specific implants.

Under the agreement, EVONIK will produce SiN/PEEK compound at commercial scale to SINTX’s specifications, enabling immediate production of AI-designed, 3D-printed implants using SINTX’s existing United States (US)-based production facility, according to a statement.

SINTX has already fielded physician requests for humanitarian-use vertebral body replacement implants for orthopaedic and neurosurgical oncology cases. The company also plans to use the compound in regulatory submissions for both patient-matched and traditionally manufactured devices.

SINTX Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, Eric K. Olson said the collaboration unites EVONIK’s polymer expertise with SINTX’s biomaterial strengths to deliver next-generation implants with antipathogenic, osteogenic, and imaging advantages over standard PEEK.

Meanwhile, EVONIK head of Medical Devices & Systems market segment, Marc Knebel said the partnership aims to ensure consistent quality, supply reliability, and scalability as both companies expand data generation for future device applications.

The SiN/PEEK blend is engineered for antipathogenic surface behaviour, osteogenic support, improved visualisation, and design freedom using AI-assisted additive manufacturing—key attributes for complex, high-risk procedures.

Both parties expect to make the compound available to other qualified manufacturers for advanced implant applications.

Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, SINTX is an advanced ceramics and biomaterials company that develops, manufactures, and commercialises silicon nitride biomaterials, composites, devices, and related technologies for medical and other high-value applications.
