Dmitry Shubov Consulting Warns Southeast Asian Startups About the 2026 U.S. “Pilot Trap”

FREMONT, Calif., June 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dmitry Shubov Consulting, an advisory firm helping Southeast Asian startups scale into the U.S., is telling founders to watch out for what it calls the 2026 U.S. “pilot trap.” The warning stems from a recent LegalBooks article, “How to Structure Enterprise Pilots That Show Traction,” which highlighted why clear success metrics and a direct path to full adoption are so vital. Looking at this issue through a cross-border lens, Dmitry Shubov Consulting notes that many Southeast Asian startups can misread early U.S. pilot projects, software trials, or enterprise testing as a sign of market readiness. The trouble is, they are rarely prepared for the complex pricing, contracting, procurement, and rollout demands needed to turn that initial interest into a lasting commercial deal.

For many founders, getting a U.S. company to test a product feels like a major breakthrough. And in some ways, it is. But Dmitry Shubov Consulting says a pilot only matters if the company knows how to carry that momentum forward once the trial period ends.

“Too many founders see a pilot in the U.S. as proof that they’ve already gained real traction, when often it only shows that a company is willing to test something new,” said Dmitry Shubov, founder of Dmitry Shubov Consulting. “If there’s no clear plan for pricing, internal ownership, decision-makers, and what happens after the pilot ends, that momentum can fade very quickly.”

The firm says this is where many promising expansion efforts begin to lose steam. Startups may focus heavily on product performance during a pilot but spend too little time thinking through what comes next — who owns the budget, how success will be measured, what legal review may be required, and what would need to happen for the customer to move from a short-term test to a paid relationship.

Rather than treating a pilot as a simple sign that the product works, Dmitry Shubov Consulting says founders should look at it as the beginning of a much bigger business process. That means being clear on what success looks like, who inside the customer’s organization is actually making the decision, what issues might come up during legal or procurement review, and what needs to happen for the relationship to continue after the pilot wraps up. With funding still tight in 2026, the firm says startups cannot rely on early interest alone — they need to show they can follow through.

By raising this pressing issue now, Dmitry Shubov Consulting hopes to encourage founders to look at pilot activity more carefully and more strategically. Early U.S. interest can be valuable, but only if a startup is prepared to turn that opening into something lasting. Reach out to Dmitry Shubov Consulting for more information.

Dmitry Shubov Consulting Shares Expert Perspective on Why First U.S. Customer Readiness Matters More in Southeast Asia’s Tighter 2026 Funding Climate

FREMONT, Calif., June 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dmitry Shubov Consulting is sharing an expert perspective on why Southeast Asian startups need to carefully think about what happens after they land a first U.S. customer, especially in a year when funding remains harder to win, and growth is under closer scrutiny. The recent perspective comes as Q1 2026 reporting from DealStreetAsia pointed to a still-selective startup funding environment across Southeast Asia, adding pressure on founders to show not just early traction, but a business that can actually build on it.

For many startups, a long stretch of outreach goes into getting that first “yes.” When the contract is signed, founders naturally think the hardest part is over. It isn't. The very next morning, the workload just changes shape. You aren't pitching anymore. Instead, the startup is suddenly dealing with messy onboarding steps and client questions it did not fully anticipate.

“Landing a first U.S. customer is a real milestone, but it also has a way of showing founders what still is not working as well as they thought,” said Dmitry Shubov, Founder of Dmitry Shubov Consulting. “You can prove there is interest in the business and still realize the contracts, internal process, or delivery side are not ready to support growth in a consistent way.”

That shift is a lot tougher when venture funding is hard to come by. In a tighter market, startups often have less room to absorb operational mistakes while trying to build on early traction. If a startup struggles to deliver for its first big client, it can lose its hard-earned momentum before it even has a chance to look for the next deal.

This is especially true in enterprise fields like legal tech, AI, SaaS, and fintech. Buyers in these industries expect a professional, organized experience right from the start. Being persistent and flexible can get a founder through a single pilot program, but that doesn't mean the company has a repeatable system in place. If keeping the client happy still depends entirely on the founder jumping in to solve every single problem, that approach can become difficult to sustain when the next few clients sign up.

With this perspective on current complexities, Dmitry Shubov Consulting is focusing on a part of international expansion that people rarely talk about during the initial sales push. Getting that first U.S. customer is great, but what happens next says a lot more about the long-term strength of the business. For startups trying to expand into the West this year, the real challenge isn't just getting someone to say yes—it's having a business model steady enough to support that win. Partnering with a consulting firm can be the best first step. Reach out to Dmitry Shubov Consulting for more information.

Into the Wild: GWM Brings the World's Best to the Gobi

BAODING, China, May 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — This May, the Taklimakan Rally will host a milestone: for the first time, four international rally champions — Pau Navarro of Spain, Nicolas Cavigliasso of Argentina, Gerard Farres of Spain, and Rebecca Busi of Italy — will line up alongside China's fastest desert racers on the same course. On May 14, GWM confirmed a twelve-driver, four-factory-team roster assembled through a personal recruitment campaign launched by Chairman Jack Wey in March.

Founded in 2005, the Taklimakan — Asia's premier off-road event, known as the “Eastern Dakar” — earned FIA Grade A status in 2014. It runs more than 3,400 kilometers across thirteen stages in terrain that has broken some of the world's best drivers. For years, the world's elite competed primarily in North Africa and Europe while China's own rally culture grew largely unseen. GWM is attempting to change that.

By May 9, the international quartet had arrived at GWM's Baoding headquarters for a face-to-face meeting with Chairman Jack Wey — a level of personal engagement unusual at the top of a major automaker. Speaking directly to the drivers, Jack Wey offered what read less as ceremony than as commitment: “Motorsport requires no language. We hope to build deep, long-term cooperation — and we wish you excellent results in China Rally.”

Nicolas Cavigliasso of Argentina arrives as the 2025 Dakar Challenger champion, a distinction that earned him an FIA Gold license — one of the sport's rarest honors. He will be navigated by Valentina Pertegarini. Spain's Pau Navarro, the 2026 Dakar Challenger champion, joins with navigator Jan Rosa. Gerard Farres, a veteran of the Dakar Rally, will be paired with navigator Bruno Jacomy. Italy's Rebecca Busi — one of the world's most recognizable female rally drivers, with nearly 120,000 Instagram followers — completes the quartet.

Ma Hailong and two additional Chinese drivers, Zhang Jianfeng and Yao Weiqiang, complete the lineup. Yao Weiqiang is the 2025 China Rally T2.E champion in a TANK 300 Hi4-T. All three competed at the 2025 Taklimakan Rally.

“2016, we went to Dakar,” Jack Wey told the assembled drivers at Baoding. “We finished sixth — the highest any Chinese team has ever achieved.” The remark of someone who has raced at that level himself — and who is now investing personally to close the gap.

GWM's entry is built entirely around production-basis vehicles. The TANK 700 Hi4-T leads the lineup with a 3.0T V6 powertrain and Hi4-T intelligent four-wheel drive. The TANK 500 Hi4-Z carries a dedicated all-wheel drive architecture with a 201km electric range, optimized for the most demanding desert stages. The TANK 300 Hi4-T — proven across thousands of competitive kilometers — continues to demonstrate that durability and performance do not have to trade off. Three V6 Fire Bullet 3.0T pickups complete the production category entry.

The rally begins May 16 from Urumqi, runs through the Flaming Mountains near Shanshan and the Kumtag Desert, cuts south to the edge of the Taklimakan at Korla, and finishes in Aksu sixteen days later. Thirteen stages. One event.

The world's best are not here to pass judgment on Chinese motorsport. They are here to discover, alongside Chinese racing, what the sport looks like when the full picture finally comes together.

That answer waits at the finish line.

Shanxi Qinyuan: Lingkong Mountain Scenic Area will usher in Peak Tourist Season

CHANGZHI, China, May 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Since the “May Day” holiday, the Lingkong Mountain Scenic Area, nestled deep in the Taiyue Mountains of Qinyuan County, has experienced a significant surge in tourism. Along the access roads, self-driving tourists queued in an orderly manner and were guided by staff into designated parking areas. Families and groups of friends could be seen enjoying their outings amid a lively holiday atmosphere.

Qinyuan County Cultural Tourism Bureau noted that as an important component of Taiyue Mountain National Forest Park, the forest coverage rate of Lingkong Mountain is over 90%, forming a natural “oxygen bar” with a high concentration of negative oxygen ions, and making it one of the region's most popular destinations for leisure, wellness tourism, and nature experiences.

As visitors climbed the winding stone pathways through the scenic area, people can hear the exclamations: “It's incredible that so many trunks growing from a single tree!” Following the sound stands the “Nine-Flag Pine”, officially recognized by the Shanghai Great World Guinness Headquarters in 2004 as the world's largest Chinese pine. This ancient tree feathers one main stem sprouting nine branches, its twisted and sturdy limbs resemble nine towering banners fluttering in the wind, drawing visitors to pause, gaze upward, and capture the vibrant life force that has traversed for hundreds of years.

Many tourists choose to travel with their families. “The air in Lingkong Mountain is exceptionally fresh, and being in the mountains is truly relaxing,” said Liu Jing, a tourist from Taiyuan. “With the improving homestay facilities and better road transportation, I'll bring my kids here to escape the summer heat again.”

To prepare for the peak season, the Lingkong Mountain Scenic Area administration has implemented several proactive measures. All visitor facilities were fully inspected and maintained, and a comprehensive safety hazard screening was carried out. Key road sections and dangerous areas underwent extensive improvements. Additional staff were deployed at critical points such as the entrance, core scenic spots, and mountain trails, to handle vehicle coordination, entry verification, information inquiries, and other services. Meanwhile, strict regulations on forest fire prevention have been fully implemented. These efforts all aim to build a robust safety for the holiday, and ensure a high-quality tourist experience for visitors from all directions.

Le groupe Qatar Airways affiche de solides résultats financiers malgré l'instabilité économique mondiale

PARIS, 20 mai 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Le groupe Qatar Airways a annoncé aujourd’hui un bénéfice après impôts de 7,08 milliards de riyals qatariens (1,94 milliard de dollars américains) pour l’exercice 2025/26. Ces résultats témoignent d’une solide performance malgré un dernier mois marqué par d’importants événements géopolitiques, réaffirmant ainsi sa position parmi les groupes les plus résilients du secteur aérien mondial. Tout au long de l’année financière 2025/26, le Groupe a continué à se développer, à innover et à offrir des services et des expériences de grande qualité aux particuliers et aux entreprises.

La compagnie aérienne a transporté plus de 41,8 millions de passagers, maintenant une connectivité mondiale étendue via l’aéroport international Hamad. La division fret du Groupe a continué d’exceller, ayant transporté plus de 1,43 million de tonnes de poids facturable, renforçant ainsi sa position de premier transporteur mondial de fret aérien avec une part de marché mondiale de 12 %.

La compagnie aérienne a également maintenu une ponctualité de premier plan dans le secteur, avec un taux de ponctualité de 86 %, ce qui la place nettement parmi les cinq transporteurs les plus ponctuels au monde et lui a valu la distinction la plus convoitée dans le domaine de l’évaluation comparative des opérations aériennes mondiales, le Cirium Platinum Award pour l’Excellence Opérationnelle.

M. Hamad Al-Khater, directeur général du groupe Qatar Airways, a déclaré : « Il est rare qu’un seul exercice financier exige d’une organisation qu’elle démontre à la fois le meilleur de ce dont elle est capable et la résilience dont elle peut faire preuve. L’exercice 2025/26 a répondu à ces deux exigences, et le groupe Qatar Airways s’est montré à la hauteur de chacune d’elles.

Ces résultats témoignent de la solidité de ce groupe sur tous les plans qui comptent : un bilan solide, des opérations à la pointe du secteur, des partenariats solides et des collaborateurs qui ont su maintenir les standards qui font la réputation de ce groupe, même dans les conditions les plus difficiles.

Derrière chaque résultat se cachent 57 800 personnes, travaillant dans plus de 90 pays. Au cours des dernières semaines de l’année financière, nombre d’entre elles ont géré une crise en cours avec un professionnalisme qui définit cette organisation tout autant que n’importe quel indicateur financier, et cela mérite d’être reconnu.

Nous reconstruisons activement notre réseau mondial avec la confiance que nous confèrent un bilan financier plus solide que jamais, des partenariats qui ont prouvé leur profondeur lorsque nous en avions le plus besoin, et une organisation qui a démontré, sous une pression réelle, exactement ce dont elle est capable. »

Principales réalisations de l'année 2025/26 :

  • Une expansion record de la flotte : le groupe Qatar Airways a signé des accords historiques avec Boeing et GE Aerospace portant sur l'acquisition et la maintenance de jusqu'à 210 appareils et 400 moteurs, ce qui constitue l'un des engagements les plus importants de l'histoire de l'aviation commerciale en matière de flotte.

  • La flotte de gros-porteurs la plus connectée au monde : Qatar Airways exploite la première et la plus grande flotte de gros-porteurs au monde équipée de Starlink, avec une connectivité haut débit en vol disponible sur les Boeing 777, Airbus A350 et Boeing 787-8, offrant ainsi un accès Internet gratuit et fluide aux passagers sur plusieurs liaisons mondiales, y compris les vols long-courriers et ultra-long-courriers.
  • Aéroport international Hamad – Le meilleur du Moyen-Orient : pour la 11e année consécutive, Skytrax a désigné l'aéroport international Hamad comme le meilleur aéroport du Moyen-Orient, soulignant ainsi son statut de première porte d'entrée aérienne de la région.
  • Meilleur magasin d'aéroport pour la troisième année consécutive : Qatar Duty Free a été désigné « Meilleur magasin d'aéroport au monde » par Skytrax pour la troisième année consécutive, ce qui témoigne des investissements continus dans l'expérience d'achat et d'accueil des passagers à l'aéroport international Hamad.

Qatar Airways Group delivers robust financial performance despite global economic instability

DOHA, Qatar, May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Qatar Airways Group today announced a post-tax profit of QAR 7.08bn (US$ 1.94bn) for financial year 2025/26. The results demonstrate a robust performance against a final month impacted by significant geopolitical events, reaffirming its position as one of global aviation’s most resilient Groups.

Throughout financial year 2025/26, the Group continued to develop, innovate and provide world-class services and experiences to passengers and businesses.

The airline carried more than 41.8 million passengers, maintaining extensive global connectivity through Hamad International Airport. The Group’s cargo division continued to excel, having transported more than 1.43 million tonnes of chargeable weight, advancing its position as the world’s largest air freight carrier with a 12% global market share.

The airline also maintained industry-leading punctuality, achieving an 86% on-time performance, placing it firmly among the top five most punctual carriers worldwide, and securing the most coveted recognition in global airline operations benchmarking, the Cirium Platinum Award for Operational Excellence.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hamad Al-Khater, said: “It is not often that a single financial year asks an organisation to demonstrate both the best of what it can achieve and the depth of what it can withstand. The 2025/26 financial year did both, and the Qatar Airways Group rose to each in turn.

“These results speak to the strength of this Group across every measure that matters — a strong balance sheet, industry-leading operations, partnerships of real depth, and people who maintained the standards this Group is known for, even under the most demanding conditions.

“Behind every result are 57,800 people, working across more than 90 countries. In the final weeks of the financial year, many of them were managing an active crisis with a standard of professionalism that defines this organisation as much as any financial metric, and it deserves to be recognised.

“We are actively rebuilding our global network with the confidence that comes from a balance sheet that has never been stronger, partnerships that proved their depth when we needed them most, and an organisation that has demonstrated, under genuine pressure, exactly what it is capable of.”

Key achievements of 2025/26 financial year:

  • Record-Breaking Fleet Expansion: Qatar Airways Group signed landmark agreements with Boeing and GE Aerospace for the acquisition and servicing of up to 210 aircraft and 400 engines, among the most significant fleet commitments in commercial aviation history.

  • World’s Most Connected Widebody Fleet: Qatar Airways operates the world’s first and largest Starlink-equipped widebody fleet, with high-speed in-flight connectivity live across Boeing 777, Airbus A350, and Boeing 787-8 aircraft, bringing seamless and free in-flight internet to passengers on various routes worldwide, including long-haul and ultra-long-haul.
  • Hamad International Airport – Best in the Middle East: For the 11th consecutive year, Skytrax recognised Hamad International Airport as the Best Airport in the Middle East, underlining it as the region’s premier aviation gateway.
  • Best Airport Shopping for Third Consecutive Year: Qatar Duty Free was awarded Best Airport Shopping globally by Skytrax for the third successive year, reflecting continued investment in the passenger retail and hospitality experience at Hamad International Airport.
  • Qatar Airways Cargo – Unrivalled Global Freight Leadership: With 1.43 million tonnes of chargeable freight transported and a commanding 12% global market share, Qatar Airways Cargo reinforced its status as the world’s largest international air cargo carrier.

Looking ahead, Qatar Airways continues to rebuild its global schedule, underpinned by sound business principles, reaching more than 160 destinations by summer 2026. This will enable travellers from around the world to experience its award-winning service onboard, including staying connected via Starlink and seamlessly connecting through state-of-the-art Hamad International Airport in Doha.

About Qatar Airways
A multiple award-winning airline, Qatar Airways won the ‘World’s Best Airline’ title for an unprecedented ninth time at the 2025 World Airline Awards, managed by the international air transport rating organisation, Skytrax.

Qatar Airways recently received the Platinum performance recognition by Cirium, the leading aviation analytics organisation, for its reliability and operational performance. The recognition is a testament to the airline’s unwavering commitment to providing seamless and proven operations as part of its award-winning passenger experience.

This summer, Qatar Airways will fly to over 160 destinations worldwide, connecting through its Doha hub, Hamad International Airport. The airport has been recognised as the ‘Best Airport in the Middle East’ for 11 consecutive years, as well as ‘World’s Best Airport Shopping’ for the third year in a row by Skytrax.

Hamad International Airport has previously been named the ‘World’s Best Airport’ by Skytrax in 2021, 2022, and 2024.

Market Analysis: Dmitry Shubov Remarks on Bridging the $3B Gap Between U.S. Capital and S.E.A. Multilingual Legal AI

FREMONT, Calif., May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The global contract management space is expanding rapidly, with Grand View Research projecting the market to exceed $3 billion by 2030. However, as the sector grows, a significant operational bottleneck has emerged: the struggle for enterprises to efficiently review complex, multi-language contracts across borders. Dmitry Shubov, founder of Dmitry Shubov Consulting, is addressing this gap by issuing a new industry brief on the surge of U.S. venture interest in Southeast Asian (S.E.A.) legal-tech. His analysis points to a “nuance crisis” where off-the-shelf AI models—while impressive in general settings—may not be equipped to handle the strict, culturally dependent intricacies of international legal work.

The Investor Differentiator: Contextual Intelligence

Citing recent industry data from Ironclad, the brief identifies a growing “nuance gap” where standard AI models can sometimes struggle with the subtle differences between U.S. and APAC regulations. According to Shubov’s analysis, venture funds are beginning to prioritize startups that offer:

  • Linguistic Contextualization: Moving beyond word-for-word translation to recognize how legal clauses are interpreted under different regional legal systems (e.g., Asian civil law vs. U.S. common law).
  • Operational Proof of Concept: A requirement for data from stateside pilot programs that demonstrate reduced cross-border review times and administrative streamlining.
  • Supply Chain Resilience: The ability to organize and process complex vendor agreements for U.S. businesses operating throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
  • Dynamic Language Processing: Instantly handling documents that bounce between two or more languages while maintaining 100% of the original formatting.

Navigating the Expansion Threshold

Through his advisory work at Dmitry Shubov Consulting, Shubov argues that for S.E.A. founders, technical superiority is only one part of the equation. Success in the American market requires a strategic framework that translates technical value into a language U.S. institutional investors can execute on.

“It’s one thing to translate a document; it’s another thing entirely to understand the liability inside it. The $3 billion gap we’re seeing in contract management could be a gap in trust. Investors want to know that the tech can handle the heavy lifting of international law without a human having to double-check every idiom. That’s where the real opportunity lies for S.E.A. founders today,” says Dmitry Shubov.

As the S.E.A. legal-tech corridor continues to mature, partnering with a consulting firm can be a strategic move. For more information on entering the U.S. market, please visit Dmitry Shubov Consulting.

Bitget réduit les frais de trading sur les contrats à terme pour renforcer la liquidité dans un contexte d’essor de la tokenisation

VICTORIA, Seychelles, 12 mai 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, première bourse universelle (ou UEX, de l’anglais Universal Exchange) du monde, a annoncé aujourd’hui une réduction des frais de prise de liquidité pour les teneurs de marché institutionnels négociant des contrats à terme sur actions, métaux, matières premières et indices, alors que la plateforme cherche à renforcer la liquidité de son offre croissante de produits dérivés multi-actifs. Le nouveau taux de 0,0065 % entrera en vigueur du 1er mai au 30 juin 2026.

Cet ajustement intervient alors que l’activité de trading continue de s’étendre au-delà des actifs purement cryptographiques pour inclure les actions, les matières premières et les indices tokenisés. Les actifs tokenisés ont déjà dépassé les 50 milliards de dollars de valeur, et les projections tablent sur une croissance atteignant 16 000 milliards de dollars au cours de la prochaine décennie. À mesure que la participation institutionnelle augmente, la liquidité et l’efficacité d’exécution deviennent des facteurs déterminants dans la manière dont les capitaux sont déployés sur les marchés.

Dans le cadre de cette nouvelle structure tarifaire, les teneurs de marché éligibles sur les contrats à terme bénéficieront de frais de prise de liquidité réduits sur certains contrats, notamment ceux liés aux actions, métaux, matières premières et indices. Cette initiative vise à favoriser des spreads plus serrés, une meilleure profondeur des carnets d’ordres et une tarification plus cohérente à mesure que la participation institutionnelle progresse sur ces marchés.

« En pratique, la liquidité est le facteur qui détermine si le trading multi-actifs fonctionne réellement », a déclaré Gracy Chen, PDG de Bitget. « À mesure que davantage d’institutions interviennent à la fois sur les marchés crypto, actions et matières premières, l’attention se porte sur la qualité d’exécution et l’efficacité des coûts. Cet ajustement vise à renforcer ces conditions à mesure que l’activité monte en puissance. »

Cette évolution s’inscrit dans l’expansion plus large de Bitget vers le trading multi-actifs dans le cadre de son modèle UEX, permettant aux utilisateurs d’accéder, depuis un seul compte, aux cryptomonnaies, produits dérivés et marchés financiers traditionnels. La plateforme connaît une adoption croissante dans ce segment, les produits dérivés liés aux actions et les produits sur matières premières représentant une part de plus en plus importante de l’activité globale de trading.

Alors que la concurrence pour attirer les flux institutionnels s’intensifie sur les places boursières mondiales, l’efficacité des frais et la profondeur de la liquidité deviennent des critères clés dans l’allocation des capitaux. En ajustant sa structure tarifaire sur les contrats à terme liés aux actions, matières premières et indices, Bitget cherche à capter une part plus importante de l’activité de trading institutionnelle sur des marchés situés de plus en plus à la frontière entre la crypto et la finance traditionnelle.

Bitget Corta Taxas de Negociação de Futuros para Aumentar a Liquidez Diante do Boom da Tokenização

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, a maior Universal Exchange (UEX) do mundo, anunciou hoje uma redução nas taxas de takers para formadores de mercado institucionais que negociam futuros de ações, metais, commodities e índices, com a exchange buscando aumentar a liquidez da sua oferta de derivativos multiativos. A taxa atualizada de 0,0065% entrará em vigor entre 1º de maio e 30 de junho de 2026.

O ajuste ocorre diante da expansão da atividade de negociação para além dos ativos nativos de criptomoedas para ações, commodities e índices tokenizados. Os ativos tokenizados já ultrapassaram o valor de US$ 50 bilhões, com projeções apontando para um crescimento de US$ 16 trilhões ao longo da próxima década. Com o aumento da participação institucional, a liquidez e a eficiência da execução estão se tornando fatores essenciais na forma como o capital é implantado nos mercados.

De acordo com a estrutura atual, os formadores de mercado de futuros elegíveis se beneficiarão das taxas reduzidas dos takers em certos contratos, incluindo futuros de ações, metais, commodities e índices. A iniciativa foi desenvolvida para oferecer suporte a spreads mais apertados, maior profundidade do livro de pedidos e preços mais consistentes diante do aumento da participação institucional nesses mercados.

“A liquidez é o que determina se a negociação de multiativos funciona na prática”, disse Gracy Chen, CEO da Bitget. “Com mais instituições negociando em criptomoedas, ações e commodities, o foco muda para a qualidade da execução e a eficiência dos custos. Essa mudança visa fortalecer essas condições como escalas de atividade.”

A medida se baseia na expansão mais ampla da Bitget para a negociação de multiativos sob a estrutura da UEX, onde os usuários podem acessar criptomoedas, derivativos e exposição tradicional ao mercado em uma única conta. A plataforma tem tido uma crescente tração neste segmento, com derivativos vinculados a ações e produtos de commodities contribuindo com uma parcela crescente da atividade geral da negociação.

Diante da intensificação da competição pelo fluxo institucional em todo o mundo, a eficiência das taxas e o alcance da liquidez estão se tornando fatores essenciais onde o capital está sendo implantado. Ao ajustar sua estrutura de taxas em futuros de ações, commodities e índices, a Bitget se posiciona para capturar uma parcela maior da atividade de negociação institucional em mercados que estão cada vez mais na interseção das criptomoedas e das finanças tradicionais.
