Bitget Introduces Delta Neutral Mode for Hedged Trading Strategies

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has introduced Delta Neutral Mode within its Unified Trading Account, adding a new risk management feature designed for traders using hedging and arbitrage strategies across spot, margin, and futures markets. The feature applies differentiated auto-deleveraging (ADL) ranking treatment to eligible hedged positions when accounts meet predefined delta neutrality criteria.

Delta Neutral Mode allows users to combine spot, cross margin, and cross futures trading under a single unified account structure while the system evaluates directional exposure at both the account and asset levels. Eligible positions that satisfy the neutrality thresholds receive lower ADL priority during extreme market conditions, helping reduce the likelihood of auto-deleveraging for properly hedged strategies.

The feature is designed for traders running funding rate arbitrage, basis trading, market-neutral strategies, and quantitative hedging models. It supports USDT-M, USDC-M, and Coin-M futures across live trading and demo trading environments, with ongoing rollout across web, app, and API access channels.

“Trading infrastructure continues evolving toward more sophisticated multi-strategy environments where users actively manage exposure across spot, derivatives, and onchain markets simultaneously. Delta Neutral Mode adds more flexibility for traders using hedging and arbitrage strategies while improving how risk treatment is handled within a unified account structure,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

The launch expands Bitget’s broader Unified Trading Account framework, which was developed to improve capital efficiency and simplify cross-market trading execution. The system evaluates account neutrality using delta exposure calculations relative to total account equity, while also verifying whether futures positions are effectively hedged by spot holdings in the same underlying asset.

The introduction of Delta Neutral Mode follows Bitget’s continued expansion of institutional-style trading infrastructure across its Universal Exchange ecosystem, including multi-asset trading access, tokenized financial products, and cross-market collateral functionality. Bitget has continued developing tools that support more advanced trading strategies while maintaining unified account management across multiple market types.

Tyson Fury, The Gypsy King, Joins Datavault AI as International Spokesperson to Champion Athlete Data Monetization

by

Forbes’ Third Highest-Paid Athlete in the World Brings Global Platform to Datavault AI’s Sports Illustrated Exchange and NIL Monetization Initiative

PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / May 18, 2026 / Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset (‘RWA’) tokenization technologies, today announced that two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has signed on as International Spokesperson for Datavault AI a deal brokered by Nick Hunter of P11.

Ranked No. 3 on Forbes’ 2025 list of the world’s highest-paid athletes with $146 million in estimated earnings (Forbes 2025), Fury brings global star power, and a uniquely personal understanding of what it means to own, protect, and capitalize on a name, to Datavault AI’s mission of empowering individuals and organizations to monetize their data and digital assets. Known worldwide as "The Gypsy King," his appointment immediately precedes the launch of the Sports Illustrated Exchange, Datavault AI’s solution designed to address the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) monetization challenges facing athletes, influencers, and rights holders across professional and collegiate sports.

"We have the utmost respect for Tyson Fury, not only as one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time, but as a resilient warrior whose strength and authenticity make him the perfect partner for the battles ahead. Raising global awareness for Name, Image, and Likeness monetization, while confronting the critical importance of cyber security in the face of the coming quantum leap, are among the toughest challenges companies encounter today. Tyson Fury is strong enough to confront these head-on alongside Datavault AI’s Quantum Secure Data Monetization platform, and his involvement will accelerate awareness of our AI-powered solutions, including the Information Data Exchange® (IDE), which securely attaches real-world assets to immutable metadata for responsible monetization. The Sports Illustrated Exchange will transform how athletes capitalize on their NIL rights, and having Fury as our international face underscores the scale and legitimacy of this initiative," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI.

Fury, whose larger-than-life personality and crossover appeal have captivated audiences beyond the ring, stated: "I’ve spent my career fighting for what’s mine inside and outside the ropes. Datavault AI is giving athletes and creators the tools to truly own and profit from their name, image, likeness, and data in the digital age. I’m proud to join the team and help bring the Sports Illustrated Exchange to the world. It’s going to be massive," said Tyson Fury, the Former Unified, Ring, and Lineal Heavyweight Champion of the World.

About Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury is a two-time world heavyweight champion and one of the most decorated fighters of his generation, with a professional record of 34 wins (24 by knockout), 2 losses, and 1 draw across 37 professional fights. A two-time Ring magazine Fighter of the Year — earning the honor in 2015 for his upset of long-reigning champion Wladimir Klitschko and again in 2020 following his dominant rematch victory over Deontay Wilder — Fury is the only heavyweight to hold The Ring magazine title twice since Muhammad Ali, joining Floyd Patterson and Ali as the three men to achieve that distinction. His 2021 trilogy fight with Wilder was named Fight of the Year by The Ring.

Ranked No. 3 among the world’s highest-paid athletes in 2025 by Forbes at $146 million in estimated earnings Forbes 2025, Fury is recognized as one of the most commercially powerful athletes on the planet and the highest-earning individual sport athlete in the United Kingdom. He commands a combined social media following of more than 11 million — 6.9 million on Instagram, 2.2 million on X, and 2.2 million on Facebook — extending his reach across sports, entertainment, and lifestyle audiences in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, the United States, and beyond.

Standing 6’9" with an 85-inch reach, Fury is known globally for his technical range in the ring and his equally powerful story outside it — a years-long public comeback from mental health challenges, including bipolar disorder, that has made him one of sport’s most recognized advocates for mental health awareness. That authenticity, combined with his platform, makes him a natural fit for a company built on the principle that individuals should own and control the value of who they are.

Off the canvas, Fury stars in the Netflix series At Home with the Furys. Season 2 debuted on April 12, 2026 — timed to coincide with Fury’s live Netflix return fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov the night before — and Netflix has already renewed the series for a third season. This partnership positions Datavault AI to expand its reach across sports, entertainment, and Web 3.0 sectors as the Company prepares to launch the Sports Illustrated Exchange later in 2026.

Bitget Enters Mexico Market With SAT and UIF Registration

Bitget Enters Mexico Market With SAT and UIF Registration

Bitget Enters Mexico Market With SAT and UIF Registration

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX) has successfully completed key registrations in Mexico to operate within the country’s current virtual asset framework. With the completion of these registrations, Bitget now looks to expand across Central and Latin America, where Mexico stands as one of the company’s most important markets.

Bitget has obtained vulnerable activity registration with Mexico’s Tax Administration Service (otherwise known as SAT), and has also completed registration with the Financial Intelligence Unit (or UIF) of Mexico – together, these registrations place Bitget among the first global platforms to complete this process in Mexico, providing a strong footing in one of the region’s most active crypto markets.

Mexico has become a major focus for digital asset platforms as interest in crypto continues to grow across the country. For Bitget, Mexico remains one of its largest markets across Central and Latin America and one of the key regional priorities. The market’s size, rising user interest, and its wider role in regional financial significance make it an important part of Bitget’s long-term expansion in the region.

“Regulatory progress in crypto constantly changes with the landscape, and each one requires a clear understanding of local rules and how local financial systems operate,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “By following that path in Mexico, Bitget is building on a model that supports responsible growth and gives the business more opportunities to operate alongside banks and financial institutions whose relationships have become increasingly important in penetrating diverse markets.”

The registrations place Bitget in a stronger position to serve the local market within Mexico’s current regulatory regime, which has become more clearly defined following recent reforms that expanded and implied strong AML obligations for virtual-asset activities.

The expansion comes as Bitget continues to grow in markets where user demand and regulatory progress are moving in the same direction. In Latin America, that trend is becoming more visible as more users look for access to digital assets through platforms that are taking a serious and practical approach to operating within local rules. Mexico is expected to play an important role in that shift, both because of its domestic market and its broader influence across the region.

Editor’s Note

Denodo Advances Trusted Data Foundations for Agentic AI with New Amazon Web Services (AWS) Integrations

by

New product integrations unify semantics, extend governed data access, and accelerate enterprise AI agent adoption across hybrid and multi-cloud environments

PALO ALTO, Calif., May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Denodo, a leader in data management, announced new product integrations to support the building and scaling of agentic AI across hybrid and multi-cloud environments supporting customers across financial services, healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing, retail, public sector and others.

As enterprises move beyond AI experimentation to production with a focus on business outcomes, many face common challenges: AI agents fail to deliver reliable outcomes when they lack real-time awareness, operate on incomplete or incorrect data, or act outside governance and compliance boundaries. These are not model limitations, but data challenges.

Denodo addresses this gap by integrating with Amazon Web Services (AWS) data and AI services — including Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, and Amazon Quick — to extend access into operational and analytical data residing in on-premises, SaaS, and multi-cloud environments. This provides a logical data foundation that delivers live, business-contextual, and governed data across the enterprise, enabling AI agents to operate with confidence, accuracy, and control.

New Integrations:

  • Providing AI Agents with Secure, Enterprise-Scale Data Access
    Denodo extends agentic AI capabilities by combining live, governed data access with centralized control through Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. Denodo provides a trusted data foundation by defining what data is available across the enterprise, enriching it with business context in Denodo’s semantic layer, and ensuring it can be easily accessed, via Denodo’s support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) in accordance with established governance policies. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore also manages how AI agents interact with that data by handling authentication, routing requests, and enforcing access controls. This integration enables organizations to provide AI agents with secure, consistent, and real-time access to the right data across distributed environments, so they operate within business rules while delivering reliable, high-quality business outcomes at scale.
  • Unifying Semantics, Governance, and AI-Ready Data across Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Systems
    Denodo powerfully complements Amazon SageMaker by providing organizations with live, zero-copy access, with consistent semantics, across all their data. This capability spans on-premises, multi-cloud, and sovereign environments via 200+ native connections to enterprise systems such as SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce. Denodo now integrates with Amazon SageMaker Catalog to directly add business metadata and context to the data consumed by AI agents. By leveraging the definitions, classifications, and governance context established within Amazon SageMaker, Denodo ensures that data accessed across both AWS services and non-AWS environments is consistently understood and aligned with business meaning. This gives AI agents the semantic context they need to interpret data correctly, resulting in more accurate, trustworthy outcomes, with integration patterns validated and documented by Denodo. Denodo also provides fine-grained governance controls over non-AWS data sources, with capabilities such as attribute-based access controls, dynamic data masking, and end-to-end lineage capture, which operate alongside native Amazon SageMaker controls for AWS data.
  • Accelerating Insight-to-Action
    Denodo enhances analytics and AI experiences with Quick by enabling organizations to move seamlessly from insight to action. By combining Quick with Denodo’s live, zero-copy access to enterprise data, business users can work with the most current, complete information across distributed environments. The integration with Quick empowers users to create AI-driven workflows, conversational experiences, and automated processes that operate on trusted data without the delays of data movement. As a result, organizations can rapidly develop and validate new AI-driven use cases, significantly reducing time-to-market for autonomous workflows while improving decision speed and business responsiveness.

Driving the Next Phase of Enterprise AI

With these new integrations and capabilities, Denodo delivers a scalable data foundation that powers agentic workflows and automation, helping organizations achieve measurable business outcomes across industries, from financial services and healthcare to manufacturing and retail.

“Agentic AI requires more than powerful models. It requires trusted, real-time, and well-governed data,” said Suresh Chandrasekaran, Executive Vice President at Denodo. “Our collaboration with AWS focuses on delivering a unified data foundation that enables organizations to scale AI agents with confidence across the entire data landscape.”

By combining Denodo’s logical data management platform with AWS AI and data services, organizations can accelerate the adoption of agentic AI while maintaining trust, governance, and control. This enables enterprises to move beyond experimentation to operationalize AI at scale, driving faster decisions, more intelligent automation, and measurable business impact.

With Denodo available in the AWS Marketplace, organizations can get started quickly with free trials, private offers, and other options. Customers can choose the options that best fit their business needs, while streamlining procurement and leveraging the ability to apply Denodo purchases toward AWS Private Pricing Agreements (PPAs).

About Denodo
Denodo is a global leader in data management, powering trustworthy AI agents and applications. The Denodo Platform, an award-winning logical data management solution, transforms enterprise data into reliable insights for AI, analytics, and self-service initiatives. Organizations worldwide use Denodo to deliver AI-ready, business-ready data in a fraction of the time compared to traditional data lakehouses, achieving up to 4x faster time-to-insight, 345% ROI, and 10x better performance.

Bitget IPO Prime Taps Into $4T AI Opportunity With OpenAI

by

Bitget IPO Prime Taps Into $4T AI Opportunity With OpenAI

Bitget IPO Prime Taps Into $4T AI Opportunity With OpenAI

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has added OpenAI (preOPAI) as the second listing on its IPO Prime platform, extending pre-IPO access to one of the most closely watched companies in artificial intelligence.

Issued on Solana by regulated partner Republic, preOPAI is designed to track the economic performance of OpenAI following a future public listing. The offering introduces a low entry threshold starting from $100, significantly reducing the capital requirements traditionally associated with pre-IPO participation.

The commitment window for preOPAI will open on May 12, 2026, 8:00 till May 15, 2026, 8:00 (UTC). Allocations will then be distributed between 8:00 till 12:00 (UTC), followed by the start of spot trading at 14:00 (UTC) the same day.

The launch comes amid surging global interest in artificial intelligence, with capital flowing into AI companies and valuations at historic levels. This $4 trillion opportunity, however, has largely remained limited to institutional investors and private networks.

Unlike conventional pre-IPO participation, which often involves long lock-ups and limited liquidity, preOPAI introduces a model where access and flexibility exist together. Once distributed, users are able to actively trade their positions, rather than waiting for a listing event to realize value. In addition, approximately six months post-IPO, holders will have the option to redeem their tokens into stock-linked assets or USDT based on market pricing, providing a defined settlement pathway.

The introduction of preOPAI follows the earlier launch of preSPAX, linked to SpaceX, marking a phased approach to expanding IPO Prime. Each listing is introduced with a focus on structure, liquidity and regulatory alignment, rather than speed of rollout. At the point of publication, preSPAX saw over 13,000 users subscribed, with a commitment value of $171 million.

“The way people access markets is changing,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “We’re moving toward a system where different asset classes and opportunities come together on one platform, and where access is no longer limited by structure. That’s the direction we see for the future of finance, and what we are building toward here at Bitget, the Universal Exchange.”

The introduction of preOPAI builds on IPO Prime’s broader framework, where digital assets are structured to reflect economic outcomes rather than direct equity ownership. This approach, combined with issuance through a regulated partner, Republic, Bitget establishes a more structured foundation for tokenized pre-IPO exposure compared to typical token launch models.

Within Bitget’s Universal Exchange model, IPO Prime continues to extend the platform’s reach across the investment lifecycle. With crypto, tokenized traditional assets, and now pre-IPO exposure integrated into a single system, UEX is evolving to support how users allocate capital across different stages of opportunity, rather than across fragmented platforms.

Telefónica Germany Migrates 4G/5G Voice Services of First 100K Customers to Mavenir Cloud-Native IMS Technology

by

Milestone Move to IMS on AWS Achieved as Operator Transitions 
Fixed and Mobile Subscriber Base to Mavenir’s Web-Scale IMS Solution

RICHARDSON, Texas, May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mavenir, the software company building Cloud-Native, AI-by-design mobile networks, today announces that Telefónica Germany has successfully migrated the first 100K mobile customers to 4G/5G voice services on Mavenir’s cloud-native IMS solution built on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. Telefónica Germany is now the first mobile operator in Europe to deploy such a capability with production subscribers in a public cloud. The migration milestone was achieved in Q1 2026 as part of a multi-year transformation project spanning both fixed and mobile IMS networks.

Under a multi‑year contract extension announced with Telefónica Germany in February 2025, Mavenir began extensive lab validation ahead of moving the operator’s 4G/5G voice services in Germany from Mavenir’s virtualized IMS (vIMS) to Mavenir’s cloud‑native IMS platform. Both companies are developing a comprehensive automation framework, which is expected to streamline operations and accelerate the delivery of new features and updates. During 2026, Mavenir expects to migrate the first few million mobile customers to the new solution running on AWS Cloud. The full migration is scheduled for next year, with all sites set to be deployed using automation.

Matthias Sauder, leading Technology & Unified Connectivity at Telefónica Germany, commented: “This milestone marks a pivotal stage in transitioning our core network and telecom workloads to public cloud infrastructure. Telefónica Germany’s cloud strategy is built on our firm belief in agility, transparency and advanced automation, and this migration of our mobile voice services to Mavenir’s cloud-native IMS solution reflects our progressive vision for evolving beyond traditional network models. Mavenir has been a trusted and proven partner in delivering best quality, future ready services. We are looking forward to driving the next phase of our network evolution jointly – unlocking new levels of efficiency and innovation and creating new value for our customers and across our operations.”

Brandon Larson, SVP & General Manager, Cloud, AI & IMS Business Strategy at Mavenir, added: “We share this achievement with Telefónica Germany as it uplifts the first 100,000 customers to 4G/5G voice services on our IMS solution running seamlessly on AWS. Forward‑thinking operators are embracing cloud technologies to prepare for an AI‑native, fully automated future, and this transition demonstrates Telefónica Germany’s clear leadership in that journey. Mavenir’s cloud‑native IMS provides the foundation to modernize and future‑proof mobile voice services, enabling new levels of agility while unlocking AI‑driven innovation and fresh monetization opportunities for the years ahead. Today’s milestone is an important step in realizing Telefónica Germany’s strategic shift to cloud-native technologies, and a validation of its ongoing trust in Mavenir as a partner for the next era of network cloudification and automation.”

Mavenir’s cloud-native, web-scale IMS solution delivers the foundational technology for next-generation mobile networks, supporting voice over LTE (VoLTE), voice over New Radio (VoNR) and voice over Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi) and Voice over NTN on a unified IMS core and ensuring seamless voice continuity across 4G, 5G and beyond. Designed to run on any public, private or hybrid cloud, Mavenir IMS services are deployed as stateless, containerized microservices that are purpose-built for fully automated cloud environments – empowering operators to accelerate innovation and introduce new services at scale and at pace.
