VICTORIA, Seychelles, Sept 25 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has concluded the 2026 King's Cup Global Invitational (KCGI), with more than 83,000 traders across 320 teams taking part in the competition from September 9 to 22. For the first time, KCGI expanded beyond crypto into a multi-asset arena spanning crypto futures, TradFi perpetuals and tokenized U.S. stocks, with a total promotion pool of up to 3 million USDT.
This year's KCGI put Bitget's Universal Exchange model into a live competitive setting. Within the UEX Arena team battle, traders competed across Crypto Futures, TradFi Perps covering stocks, commodities and precious metals, and rToken spot markets for tokenized US equities. Separate trading-volume leaderboards tracked activity across each market, while team PnL determined performance on the overall UEX Arena leaderboard. The UEX Treasure Map extended the competition to CFD trading.
Across the three market-specific leaderboards, Jimmy米哥 100u 翻100倍 ranked first in Crypto Futures trading volume with 1.6 billion, IncomeTips24 led TradFi Perps with 150 million, while rtoken冲击第一队 topped rToken spot trading with 42.5 million.
“KCGI has always been where traders come to prove themselves, but this year we gave them a much bigger arena,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Crypto, stocks, gold and other markets were all in play, so traders had more opportunities and more decisions to make. That made the competition harder, and much closer to how people actually trade today. Eight years into Bitget, that’s what ‘Built for Perfect Trades’ means to me: keep expanding what traders can do, then let them show us what’s possible.”
KCGI 2026 featured a total promotion pool of up to 3 million USDT, spanning the UEX Arena alongside the UEX Treasure Map, captain rewards, early-bird rewards and a livestream giveaway. The expanded format attracted traders from markets including CIS, Latin American and Southeast Asia, turning the competition into a global test of strategies across different asset classes and market conditions.
The 2026 edition marks the latest evolution of KCGI as Bitget expands its trading ecosystem beyond crypto. Under the theme “Global Alpha in One,” the competition reflected a broader shift in how traders are approaching markets, with crypto, tokenized equities and traditional assets increasingly accessible through the same trading environment.

Medisca Melancarkan Divisyen Peptida Global
Divisyen baharu membawakan peptida gred API dan kepakaran farmaseutikal Medisca yang mengutamakan kualiti kepada bidang perubatan diperibadikan yang berkembang pesat
Pelancaran ini mencerminkan komitmen jangka panjang yang signifikan terhadap peptida, termasuk peluasan portfolio Medisca, hubungan strategik dengan pengeluar serta infrastruktur farmaseutikal yang diperlukan untuk menyokong pertumbuhan kategori ini. Ia turut mencerminkan cita-cita Medisca untuk menjadi peneraju dalam inovasi peptida generasi akan datang.
Bagi Medisca, peluang ini bukanlah sesuatu yang asing.
Lebih 35 tahun lalu, syarikat ini diasaskan untuk membantu merapatkan jurang antara piawaian farmaseutikal yang diperlukan oleh pengamal pengkompaunan dengan ramuan berkualiti yang mudah mereka peroleh. Kini, apabila peptida muncul sebagai bidang penting dalam inovasi farmaseutikal dan perubatan diperibadikan, Medisca melihat satu lagi detik penting bagi industri; detik apabila kualiti, tanggungjawab kawal selia dan akses yang bertanggungjawab akan menjadi faktor kritikal kepada masa depan kategori ini.
Kategori ini sedang berkembang. Medisca berhasrat untuk membantu menetapkan piawaiannya.
“Ketika saya mengasaskan Medisca, saya melihat peluang untuk mendekatkan pengkompaunan farmaseutikal kepada piawaian farmaseutikal tradisional dengan memberikan pengamal pengkompaunan akses yang lebih baik kepada ramuan gred API serta menetapkan piawaian yang lebih tinggi untuk ramuan tersebut,” kata Antonio Dos Santos, Pengasas dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Medisca. “Hari ini, saya melihat peluang yang serupa dalam bidang peptida. Kami tidak memasuki bidang ini sekadar untuk mengikut arus. Kami berhasrat untuk membantu membentuk hala tujunya.”

Kawalan ini amat penting bagi peptida, kerana kerumitan pengilangan, pencirian, ketulenan dan kekotoran berkaitan peptida menimbulkan pertimbangan kualiti yang tersendiri. Medisca komited untuk beroperasi dalam rangka kerja kawal selia yang berkenaan serta menyokong akses yang bertanggungjawab kepada API peptida.
Membangunkan Platform Peptida Bersepadu
Medisca Peptides melangkaui pembekalan API dengan menghimpunkan kepakaran formulasi, teknologi dan peralatan pengkompaunan, perkhidmatan analisis, pendidikan serta sokongan teknikal.
Dengan menghubungkan keupayaan ini dalam satu platform, Medisca menyasarkan untuk menyokong profesional penjagaan kesihatan dan rakan kongsi farmaseutikal dengan ramuan serta kepakaran yang diperlukan untuk mengharungi landskap peptida yang terus berkembang.
“Profesional penjagaan kesihatan dan rakan kongsi farmaseutikal perlu yakin terhadap kualiti dan sumber sesuatu API peptida, tetapi mereka juga memerlukan kepakaran dan infrastruktur untuk melaksanakan inovasi dalam amalan,” kata Charlie Guerini, Ketua Pegawai Komersial Medisca. “Itulah yang sedang kami bangunkan menerusi Medisca Peptides: sebuah platform bersepadu yang menghimpunkan portfolio API yang semakin berkembang, rakan kongsi pengilangan yang dipilih dengan teliti, bekalan yang boleh dipercayai serta kepakaran teknikal yang telah dipercayai pelanggan kami selama berdekad-dekad.”
Membentuk Masa Depan Inovasi Peptida
Pelancaran ini menandakan permulaan strategi yang lebih luas dan merangkumi tempoh beberapa tahun untuk menjadikan Medisca sebagai peneraju global dalam kualiti, bekalan dan inovasi peptida.
Medisca akan memperluas portfolio API peptidanya dan hubungan strategik dengan pengilang, sambil melabur dalam keupayaan saintifik, analisis, formulasi, teknikal dan pendidikan yang diperlukan untuk memajukan peluang merentas bidang farmaseutikal dan perubatan diperibadikan.
Melangkaui aspek pembekalan, Medisca akan memainkan peranan kepimpinan yang aktif dalam membentuk masa depan peptida, dengan menggalakkan perlindungan tambahan, ketelusan, akses yang bertanggungjawab dan piawaian kualiti yang sewajarnya, sambil bekerjasama dengan pengilang, profesional penjagaan kesihatan serta pihak berkepentingan industri seiring perkembangan sains, peraturan dan amalan klinikal.
Cita-citanya jelas: membantu membentuk generasi peptida seterusnya dengan menghimpunkan kualiti, kepakaran dan penyelesaian bersepadu yang diperlukan untuk memajukan kategori ini.
Medisca Peptides akan mula dilancarkan secara berperingkat di pasaran global terpilih, dengan pengumuman tambahan berkaitan portfolio, perkongsian strategik dan keupayaan akan menyusul.

YEAHKA’S YEAHPAY EXPANDS MERCHANT SERVICES TO SEVEN MARKETS
Businesses incorporated in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States can now be onboarded by YeahPay for online acquiring in their respective markets, supporting merchants and platforms with integrated online and in-store payment capabilities.
Yeahka in a statement said the expansion further strengthens YeahPay’s online payment infrastructure across key global markets.
“The number of ways to pay is growing faster than any business can integrate them, and the gap only widens from here. New rails, new currencies, and buyers who are not always human.
“Our clients should not have to predict any of it. YeahPay is the single integration a business needs to accept any form of payment, and when the next way to pay arrives, they will already be able to accept it,” said YeahPay Global Vice President, David Tay.
Alongside expanding its international market coverage and payment capabilities, YeahPay is also preparing for the next evolution of commerce by prioritising capabilities around agentic payments, exploring applications across online retail, dining and gaming, and beginning proof-of-concept collaborations with international financial institutions.
As intelligent agents increasingly participate in transactions, YeahPay continues to expand its payment capabilities and help merchants prepare for the next generation of commerce.
Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2020, Yeahka serves approximately 9.2 million merchants and nearly one billion consumers. Its international payment brand, YeahPay, offers secure, seamless and efficient digital financial services to global clients.

ASEAN-KOREA CENTRE OPENS THIRD VENUE IN JEONJU
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 22 (Bernama) -- The ASEAN-Korea Centre (AKC) opened the Jeonju ASEAN Hall at the Korea Traditional Culture Center in Jeonju on Sept 17, marking its third venue following Seoul and Jeju.
The opening event drew around 100 guests, including representatives of the AKC, the ASEAN Committee in Seoul (ACS), Jeonju City, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jeonbuk State, media, and universities.
“The AKC will continue presenting exhibitions and programmes to establish the hall as a venue for ASEAN-Korea cultural exchange across the wider region,” said AKC Secretary General, Kim Jae-shin in a statement.
The Jeonju ASEAN Hall is the Honam region’s first venue for ASEAN-Korea cultural exchange. It expands ASEAN culture and arts beyond the Seoul metropolitan area and serves as a cultural diplomacy platform connecting K-culture and ASEAN culture (A-culture).
Its inaugural exhibition, ASEAN: Where Hands Bridge Time, highlighted the traditional heritage of the 11 ASEAN Member States (AMS) through the theme of hands, with around 70 cultural artefacts displayed, including masks, textiles, musical instruments, and shadow puppets.
During the ceremony, remarks were delivered by Kim, Jeonju Mayor Cho Ji-hun, and Philippine Ambassador Bernadette Therese C. Fernandez, representing the 2026 ASEAN Chair. Director-General for ASEAN and Southeast Asian Affairs Kwon Jae-hwan spoke on behalf of Foreign Minister Cho Hyun.
The celebration featured a pansori performance by the Jeonbuk State Gugak Center, followed by Filipino singer Dorado performing “Golden” from K-Pop Demon Hunters and Cho Yong-pil’s “The Dreams”.
Following the opening, the AKC and Jeonju Cultural Foundation offered the ASEAN Brunch Box and ASEAN Cooking Class. The Hall will expand access to ASEAN culture and boost Jeonju’s international profile as Jeonbuk State pursues its 2036 Olympic bid.

Cameron Highlands to Get Its Own Interactive Map
CAMERON HIGHLANDS, Pahang, Sept 9 (Bernama) -- Cameron Highlands is set to receive a dedicated interactive map, giving visitors a single digital reference for its townships, farms, tea estates and trails.
Built Around the Highlands' Real Problem
Cameron Highlands does not suffer from a lack of attractions. It suffers from congestion at a handful of them while others sit half empty on the same afternoon.
Weekend and school holiday traffic concentrates on the main road between Tanah Rata, Brinchang and Kea Farm. The map is designed to spread visitors across the full route rather than funnel them to the same three stops.
The Technology Behind It
The build uses a vector-based map layer rather than tiled satellite imagery, which keeps file size small, scales cleanly at any zoom and loads on the patchy mobile coverage found along the mountain roads.
Layered Points of Interest
Locations sit in toggleable layers, so a visitor planning a hike and a family looking for strawberry farms see different versions of the same map.
• Townships — Ringlet, Tanah Rata, Brinchang, Kea Farm, Tringkap and Kampung Raja
• Tea estates and farms — plantations, strawberry farms, flower nurseries and vegetable farms
• Trails and nature — jungle trails, waterfalls and the mossy forest route
• Accommodation and dining — hotels, homestays, restaurants and night market locations
• Access roads — the Tapah, Simpang Pulai and Gua Musang approaches
• Essential services — clinics, fuel stations, ATMs and parking areas
Route and Elevation Awareness
Three roads climb into Cameron Highlands, each with different journey times and road conditions. The map presents all three approaches so visitors can choose before setting off rather than following a default suggestion.
Elevation is shown across the route, which matters for both driving expectations and hiking difficulty in terrain where distance alone tells you very little.
Lightweight, Offline and Operator-Maintained
The interface is mobile-first and built to render on mid-range handsets. Once loaded, it remains available offline through the coverage gaps along the mountain roads.
• Bilingual interface in Bahasa Malaysia and English
• QR entry points at car parks, hotels and visitor centres, with no app download
• Content management layer letting operators update their own listings
• Geolocation showing the visitor's position against nearby points
• Embeddable on hotel, farm and tourism websites
• Usage analytics showing what visitors search for most
Why It Matters
Smaller operators in Ringlet, Tringkap and Kampung Raja are routinely missed by visitors who never travel past Brinchang. Visibility on a shared map changes that.
Better distribution also eases pressure on the central corridor, which benefits residents and visitors alike during peak periods.
Availability
The map will be accessible through any browser at launch, with no application download required. Launch timing will be announced separately.
Operators interested in listing their business can register their details ahead of the public launch.

A2RL Sets New International Benchmark with Europe’s First Five-Car Autonomous Race

A2RL Sets New International Benchmark with Europe’s First Five-Car Autonomous Race (Photo: AETOSWire)
- UAE team Kinetiz wins A2RL’s first race outside of Abu Dhabi during ACI Racing Weekend hosted on Imola’s iconic Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari
- Watch the race HERE.
IMOLA, Italy, Sept 8 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL) completed the first-ever multi-car autonomous race in Europe at the Imola Circuit in Italy on 5 September 2026, as part of ACI Racing Weekend. Kinetiz (UAE) won the League’s inaugural international race, across 12 laps of one of the most technically demanding circuits in world motorsport.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260907943650/en/
Organised by ASPIRE, the grand challenges arm of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), A2RL brings together key players across Abu Dhabi’s autonomous mobility ecosystem, with strategic oversight from the Smart and Autonomous Systems Council (SASC). A2RL has evolved from a public testbed for AI under extreme race conditions into a competitive racing series. Imola marked the League’s first international chapter following two seasons at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, and a step towards its ambition to become the world’s first international championship for fully autonomous race cars.
The race brought together five fully autonomous racecars including race winner Kinetiz (UAE) followed by Constructor Racing (Germany) in second place, PoliMOVE (Italy) taking third, Unimore (Italy) in fourth and 2024 and 2025 champions TUM (Germany) finishing fifth. Each team competed with identical EAV-25 hardware, placing the performance differential in software: perception, planning, control and real-time decision-making.
Two-time consecutive A2RL Champion, TUM saw its winning streak end after encountering a technical issue on the formation lap resulting in the car returning to the pitlane before the rolling race start.
The fastest lap was set by pole-sitter and race leader Unimore at 1 minute 40 seconds before the car encountered a technical issue and came to a dramatic halt. The closely following PoliMOVE who hit the race’s top speed at 252.3 km/h and had raced within a second of the leader in a close battle from the outset, was unable to avoid colliding into the dramatically slowed Unimore car and collided with the rear, bringing the race to an abrupt end for both teams. The incident led Kinetiz to take the lead which they maintained until the checkered flag.
H.E. Faisal al Bannai, Secretary General of the Advanced Technology Research Council, said: “A2RL reflects how Abu Dhabi approaches advanced technology: setting an ambitious challenge, bringing the best minds together and creating the conditions for accelerated progress. Imola put that approach to the test, with five autonomous cars navigating the uncertainty and pressure of a live race. Seeing Kinetiz take the win marks an important moment for the UAE, while the wider value lies in what the race revealed about reliability, resilience and real-time decision-making. These insights will help advance autonomous systems far beyond racing.”
Stephane Timpano, CEO of ASPIRE, said: “Congratulations to team Kinetiz from the UAE on a well-earned victory. Imola raised the level of the challenge, asking autonomous systems to race wheel-to-wheel in a completely different environment and generating valuable data to accelerate the next stage of R&D. What we saw here gives us a new measure of how these systems perform and adapt under pressure.”
A True Test of Autonomous Racecraft
Defined by elevation changes, narrow racing lines, limited run-off and difficult overtaking zones, Imola tested how autonomous systems manage grip, traffic, positioning and overtaking under sustained pressure. The race required the AI to continuously respond to other competitors, deciding when to attack, defend and adapt its planned trajectory as the race developed.
Omar Hanif Alqassim, Team Principle of Kinetiz, said: “It is a very proud moment for all of us at Kinetiz to win A2RL’s first international race and, most importantly, to represent the UAE on an international stage. The team has worked extremely hard for this achievement, and seeing that effort result in a win makes it even more special. It was a great race and very well organised by ASPIRE, who have created a strong platform to showcase what the UAE is building in autonomous technology. We’re proud to bring this victory home and to be part of representing the UAE’s ambition and capabilities on the global stage.”
The Road to Imola
In advance of the race, teams prepared through a condensed physical testing period of just nine days across varying conditions including rain and, at one point, hail. The newly fitted wet-weather kit allowed all five teams to run, collectively completing 38 laps.
To supplement physical testing and give teams the opportunity to enhance their code, A2RL’s Sim Sprint returned this season, using high-fidelity digital twins including Yas Marina, the A2RL Autodrome, Suzuka and Imola to develop and validate their algorithms.
Alessandro Tucci, Executive Director, House of Grand Challenges at ASPIRE, said: “The performance Teams demonstrated during the race is the result of defined development strategy built on more than 5,000 hours of simulation testing and racing in 2025. Racing in Imola was a fundamental step for A2RL evolution and we are proud of the results achieved by the Teams and A2RL organisation Bringing that preparation to a circuit like Imola is how we keep raising the competitive standard of A2RL.”
What’s Next for A2RL
A2RL will return to Yas Marina Circuit for its next race. As the home of A2RL since its launch in 2024, Yas Marina Circuit remains the benchmark venue for the League’s continued evolution.
Lessons from Imola will now feed back into the R&D programme in Abu Dhabi. Testing autonomous systems across circuits with materially different layouts and racing characteristics provides a stronger measure of their ability to adapt, while continuing A2RL’s role as a public testbed for autonomous technology and reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a hub for applied AI and autonomous systems innovation.
The 2026 series is made possible with the support of SteerAI, alongside leading partners AD Ports and du Infra; official partners AWS, Abu Dhabi Mobility and Abu Dhabi Gaming; official supporters HP and Castore; technical partners PACETEQ and Live in Five.
