BEST FORTUNE. WORLD PARTY. Hong Kong Invites the World to Ring in the Year of the Horse with a Spectacular Cathay International Chinese New Year Night Parade and Citywide Celebrations

HONG KONG, Jan. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hong Kong is ready to welcome the Year of the Horse with one of the world’s most vibrant Chinese New Year celebrations. On 17 February, the first day of the Chinese New Year, the Cathay International Chinese New Year Night Parade will transform the city into a glittering carnival of light, music, global cultures and festive spirit. Celebrate a Chinese New Year like no other, with colorful blossoms in Lunar New Year Fairs, incense offerings for good luck in temples across Hong Kong, horse racing on Year of the Horse Raceday, and more.

Start the First Day of the Year of the Horse with a Parade of Dazzling Floats and Enticing Performances from All Around the World

Get ready for the first night of Chinese New Year with a pre–parade street party, leading up to the dazzling procession of floats and performances. The Parade will start from Hong Kong Cultural Centre and travel through major roads in Tsim Sha Tsui — including Canton Road, Haiphong Road, and Nathan Road — beginning at 8 PM on 17 February. With the theme “BEST FORTUNE. WORLD PARTY.”, the festivities celebrate the energetic spirit of the horse, a symbol of strength, vitality, progress, and success in Chinese culture.

The 2026 Parade will be an authentic night–long celebration showcasing a spectacular line–up of themed floats sweeping in the best luck of the year. Some float sponsors will celebrate milestone anniversaries — with Cathay marking its 80th anniversary, Hong Kong Disneyland celebrating its 20th and McDonald’s Hong Kong debuting a float in honour of its 50th — adding extra excitement to the parade and doubling the surprises for all. The first–ever float from the Hong Kong Brand Toy Association will heat up the party by bringing beloved IP characters to the festivity. The Ocean Park Hong Kong will invite their adorable Panda Friends to spread new year blessings to families and friends, while the Hong Kong Jockey Club will spotlight the zodiac year with shimmering horse installations to bring prosperity to all. Multiple dazzling floats will be on display at Kai Tak Sports Park from 18 to 26 February, extending the Parade excitement to visitors throughout the festive season.  

Beyond the floats, a dynamic line–up of performances from around the world during the Parade will reinforce Hong Kong’s status as a truly international festival city. Not only will France’s FierS à Cheval set the tone with illuminated horse tableaux that capture the spirit of the Year of the Horse, the exhilarating performances including the precision of the Xi’an Acrobatic Troupe from the Chinese Mainland, the comic acrobat duo Les Vitaminés from Canada, and the debut of Australia’s Manly Seabirds cheer performers will bring high–energy sparkle to the parade route.

The Parade also embraces innovation while honouring tradition. Hong Kong’s East–Meets–West culture shines bright as the mesmerising Luminous Dragon Dance by Chinese Martial Arts Dragon and Lion Dance Association of Hong Kong, China, dances along the parade route with Italy’s Cromosauro, a large–scale dinosaur skeleton adorned with vibrant, colourful fabrics.

Citywide Celebrations for best fortune in the Year of the Horse

There are many more Chinese New Year celebrations in addition to the Parade – the city pulses with festivities, giving visitors endless reasons to explore.

For a week running up to the early hours of Chinese New Year’s Eve (11–17 February), visitors can dive into the festive spirit at Lunar New Year Fairs, commonly known as Chinese New Year flower markets, where parks and community hubs will burst with seasonal flowers, symbolic decorations and joyful atmosphere. Be sure to drop by some of the popular fairs for experiencing the vibrant ambience such as in Victoria Park in Causeway Bay or Fa Hui Park in Mong Kok.

As we gallop into the Year of the Horse, visitors cannot miss at the much–loved Year of the Horse Raceday on the third day of Chinese New Year (19 February), where Sha Tin Racecourse will be filled with thrilling horse–racing, entertainment and festive excitement, promising your chance to boost the luck.

Visitors can also take part in heartfelt blessings at the Hong Kong Well–Wishing Festival in Lam Tsuen from 17 February to 3 March, where visitors can write their wishes on a piece of joss paper attached to an orange and toss it up to the tree. It is believed that wishes will come true if they successfully cling to the wishing tree. Those seeking spiritual connection can visit Hong Kong’s many historic temples — including Wong Tai Sin Temple, Che Kung Temple and Kwun Yum Temples — to pray for fortune, love, prosperity and success in the Year of the Horse.

With its captivating parade spectacles, luminous celebrations and welcoming festive spirit, Hong Kong’s Chinese New Year promises joy at every moment. This Year of the Horse, travellers are invited to embrace the energy, happiness and optimism that Hong Kong radiates at this special time of year.

Bitget TradFi Ultrapassa US$2 Bilhões em Volume Diário com o Aumento das Negociações de Ouro

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Jan. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, a maior Universal Exchange (UEX) do mundo, registrou mais de US$2 bilhões de volume diário de negociações na Bitget TradFi, um marco importante desde seu lançamento público em 5 de janeiro. O desempenho destaca o aumento da demanda por acesso aos mercados tradicionais na plataforma como proteção contra a volatilidade recente. Com isso, os pares de negociações como Gold (XAUUSD), Dow Jones Industrial Average (US30), índice Nasdaq 100 (NAS100), Silver (XAGUSD) e Euro FX (EURUSD) foram os mais negociados em 72 horas.

O aumento das negociações reflete a real necessidade da Bitget TradFi, pois permite que os traders nativos de criptomoedas participem de mercados globais por meio de uma interface de negociação integral. Esse salto mostra que o modelo UEX da Bitget está evoluindo para um gateway em tempo real para negociar mais de 2 milhões de tokens onchain, ações tokenizadas, índices, forex, commodities e metais preciosos como ouro.

Desde o seu lançamento, o Gold (XAUUSD) emergiu como o par mais negociado na Bitget TradFi, ficando em primeiro lugar em volume. A tendência destaca o papel do ouro como instrumento de alta liquidez, bem como um ativo tático usado para capturar oscilações de preços de curto prazo.

“As manchetes desencadearam uma mudança de risco, empurrando os fluxos para o ouro e a prata. O petróleo está se mantendo próximo a –US$60/barril, limitando a pressão da inflação no curto prazo, mesmo com os mercados precificando potenciais choques de oferta e condições financeiras mais restritivas” disse Ryan Lee, Analista–Chefe da Bitget Research.

“O posicionamento na cadeia permanece favorável; os saldos das exchanges estão com tendência de queda, os fluxos de ETF estão se estabilizando e melhorando, e a liquidez das stablecoins permanece elevada sugerindo acúmulo e uma base potencial para uma recuperação de prazo mais alto em vez de uma ampla capitulação”, acrescentou.

A Bitget TradFi foi projetada como ambiente de negociação orientado a eventos, oferecendo acesso de curto prazo a instrumentos financeiros globais. Com US$2 bilhões em volume diário de TradFi agora registrados, a Bitget está reduzindo as barreiras tipicamente associadas aos mercados tradicionais. Este marco está alinhado com a visão UEX mais ampla da Bitget de uma plataforma unificada onde os usuários podem se mover com fluidez entre os mercados, obtendo acesso a ativos globais em todo o mundo.

“A mudança fundamental na gestão de patrimônio está acontecendo agora”, disse Gracy Chen, CEO da Bitget. “As pessoas estão mudando de plataformas com taxas e corretagem altas para plataformas como a nossa, que permitem o acesso ativos globais em um mesmo local. Os ativos TradFi tokenizados, como ouro, forex e ações, atualmente são negociados com uma das taxas mais baixas do mundo na Bitget.”

Bitget TradFi dépasse les 2 milliards de dollars de volume quotidien grâce à la forte augmentation des transactions sur l’or

VICTORIA, Seychelles, 09 janv. 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, la plus grande bourse universelle (UEX) au monde, a enregistré plus de 2 milliards de dollars de volume de trading quotidien sur Bitget TradFi, marquant une étape majeure depuis son lancement public le 5 janvier. Dans un contexte de volatilité accrue, cette performance souligne l’intérêt croissant des utilisateurs pour l’accès aux marchés traditionnels sur la plateforme. Au cours des 72 dernières heures, les paires les plus échangées incluent l’or (XAUUSD), l’indice Dow Jones Industrial Average (US30), l’indice Nasdaq 100 (NAS100), l’argent (XAGUSD) et l’euro FX (EURUSD).

Cette hausse significative de l’activité confirme la pertinence de Bitget TradFi, qui permet aux traders natifs de la crypto de participer aux marchés financiers mondiaux via une interface de trading fluide et unifiée. Cette croissance illustre l’évolution du modèle UEX de Bitget vers une passerelle en temps réel donnant accès au trading de plus de 2 millions de jetons on–chain, d’actions tokenisées, d’indices, de devises, de matières premières et de métaux précieux comme l’or.

Depuis son lancement, l’or (XAUUSD) s’est imposé comme la paire la plus activement négociée sur Bitget TradFi, se classant en première position en termes de volume. Cette tendance met en évidence le rôle de l’or en tant qu’outil à forte liquidité et en tant qu’actif tactique utilisé pour tirer parti des fluctuations de prix à court terme.

« Les gros titres ont déclenché un mouvement d’aversion au risque, orientant les flux vers l’or et l’argent. Le pétrole se maintient à près de 60 dollars le baril, limitant la pression inflationniste à court terme, même si les marchés anticipent des chocs potentiels sur l’offre et un resserrement des conditions financières », a déclaré Ryan Lee, analyste en chef chez Bitget Research.

« Le positionnement on–chain reste favorable : la tendance à la baisse des soldes sur les plateformes d’échange, la stabilisation et l’amélioration des flux des ETF, ainsi qu’une liquidité élevée des stablecoins suggèrent une phase d’accumulation et la formation d’une base pour un rebond à plus long terme plutôt qu’une capitulation généralisée », a–t–il ajouté.

Bitget TradFi a été conçu comme un environnement de trading axé sur les événements, offrant un accès à court terme aux instruments financiers mondiaux. Avec désormais 2 milliards de dollars de volume TradFi quotidien, Bitget supprime progressivement les obstacles traditionnellement liés aux marchés financiers classiques. Cette étape s’inscrit dans la vision UEX plus large de Bitget : une plateforme unifiée permettant aux utilisateurs de naviguer librement entre différents marchés et d’accéder à des actifs mondiaux depuis un seul et même écosystème.

« Nous assistons actuellement à un changement fondamental dans la gestion de patrimoine », déclare Gracy Chen, PDG de Bitget. « Les utilisateurs délaissent les plateformes aux frais élevés et aux structures de courtage complexes pour se tourner vers des solutions comme la nôtre, qui leur permettent d’accéder à des actifs mondiaux depuis un seul et même endroit. Les actifs TradFi tokenisés tels que l’or, le forex et les actions sont actuellement négociés sur Bitget à des frais parmi les plus bas au monde. »

Bitget Deepens Collaboration with Ondo with 98 New US Stocks and ETFs

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Jan. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), announced the listing of 98 new US stocks and Exchange–Traded Funds (ETFs), opening broader access to traditional markets while advancing its multi–asset trading environment. Enabled through collaboration with Ondo, the expansion introduces greater exposure across equities, fixed income, commodities, and tactical ETF structures, creating more ways for users to participate in global market cycles from a single platform.

The new assets span short–duration Treasury strategies such as SGOV, leading US companies across technology, energy, manufacturing, healthcare, finance and consumer sectors, as well as international growth names including BILI (Bilibili), PDD (Pinduoduo) and GRAB (Grab). Commodity–linked instruments such as Gold (GLD), Crude Oil (USO), Copper Miners (COPX) and Rare Earth Metals (REMX) add exposure to resources shaping global supply chains, while index trackers such as VTI and leveraged or inverse ETFs such as TQQQ and SQQQ introduce flexible tools for directional trading and risk positioning.

The rollout reflects accelerating interest in unified trading environments where digital assets and traditional instruments operate side by side. Users gain access to market structures typically associated with mainstream brokerages, but within an ecosystem designed for faster execution, simplified capital movement, and broader strategic design.

“The new age financial investors want easier access to crypto while gaining accessibility to traditional financial services such as stocks, gold, indices and commodities,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “In the coming year we will work on increasing this flexibility across a multitude of global assets, diminishing the gap between wealth management,” she added.

Beyond the latest listings, Bitget offers more than 200 stock tokens, allowing users to trade leading global companies such as Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, and Alphabet using USDT settlement. This structure delivers access to equity–style exposure without traditional brokerage accounts, while preserving familiar trading workflows for digital–native participants. This is also complemented with over two million onchain tokens on Ethereum, BASE, BNB Chain, Solana and other ecosystems that build the platform holistically for wealth management and growth.

The expansion moves Bitget’s UEX vision further toward a platform where digital assets and traditional instruments operate on one unified system. Tokenized stock tokens sit at the center of this approach, bridging access to real–world equities with the speed, liquidity, and usability of a crypto–native platform. With more US stocks and ETFs now available alongside onchain tokens, derivatives, and other asset classes, Bitget UEX sets the bar for the next phase of global trading.
