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.

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

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

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

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.

CGTN: Head-of-state diplomacy anchors growing China-Russia partnership

Ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to China from May 19 to 20, CGTN has published an article examining the evolution of China-Russia relations at a historically significant moment.

The piece highlights how sustained head-of-state diplomacy has strengthened political mutual trust and how China and Russia have developed a model of major-country relations characterized by mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, offering a clear example of stability and continuity in a turbulent world.

BEIJING, May 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin will pay a state visit to China from May 19 to 20, a fresh demonstration of the close high-level exchanges that have become a distinctive feature of China-Russia relations in the new era.

Putin’s visit comes at a historically significant moment. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the China-Russia Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation and the founding of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), as well as the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination.

Over the past decade, head-of-state diplomacy has played a central role in steering bilateral ties through a rapidly changing global landscape. Since 2013, Xi and Putin have maintained frequent interactions. Xi has visited Russia 11 times, while Putin has traveled to China 13 times, underscoring the enduring strength and strategic nature of bilateral relation

Head-of-state diplomacy provides strategic guidance

“The frequency and depth of their interactions are rarely seen anywhere else in the world,” said Zhao Long, a research fellow at the Center for Russian and Central Asian Studies at the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies.

He noted that the two leaders have met more than 40 times over the past decade, and that head-of-state diplomacy has become a strong pillar of the high level of mutual trust and a key driving force behind practical cooperation across a wide range of sectors.

In March 2013, Russia became the first country Xi visited after taking office as Chinese president. In 2019, the two sides upgraded bilateral relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era, the highest level in the history of bilateral relations.

In 2025, Putin visited China to attend the SCO summit and commemorative events marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. On February 4 this year, Xi and Putin held a video meeting to discuss future development of bilateral ties and their coordination on international platforms.

Under the guidance of the two heads of state, China and Russia have continuously deepened political mutual trust and firmly supported each other on issues concerning their core interests, including sovereignty, security and development. The two sides have also strengthened coordination on major international platforms such as the United Nations, SCO, BRICS, APEC and the G20, jointly opposing unilateralism and contributing to build a multipolar world.

Xi has previously stated that China and Russia have explored a new path for neighboring major countries to get along with each other, characterized by non-alliance, non-confrontation, and not targeting any third party, setting an example of a new type of major-country relations.

Practical cooperation reaches new heights

With deepening political mutual trust, the two countries have achieved fruitful results through extensive practical cooperation across fields such as trade, energy, and culture.

Faced with global headwinds, the two countries’ economic and trade cooperation has continued to expand, with the two sides actively advancing the alignment between the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Eurasian Economic Union. More than 70% of China-Europe freight trains under the BRI pass through Russia en route to Europe, with the number of trips continuing to reach record highs.

China has remained Russia’s largest trading partner for 16 consecutive years. According to the latest data from China’s Ministry of Commerce, bilateral trade reached $227.9 billion in 2025, surpassing the $200 billion mark for the third consecutive year. In the first quarter of this year, bilateral trade totaled $61.2 billion, up 14.7% year on year.

People-to-people exchanges have also continued to flourish. The two countries have jointly organized a range of exchange programs over the years, including language years, tourism years, youth exchange years and cultural years.

During the 2024-2025 China-Russia Years of Culture, the two countries held a series of cultural exchange activities. The original Chinese dance drama Wing Chun was performed at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre, while performances in China by Russia’s Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra and the Bolshoi Ballet were met with overwhelming demand. In 2025, China and Russia also introduced a mutual visa-free policy, triggering a tourism boom between the two countries.

From deepening political mutual trust to expanding practical cooperation and growing people-to-people exchanges, China and Russia have continued to strengthen their bilateral friendship.

Against a backdrop of growing global uncertainty, the upcoming meeting between the two heads of state is expected to further advance bilateral ties, deliver greater benefits to the two peoples, and contribute more stability and positive momentum to a changing world.

JustMarkets Highlights Key Drivers Behind Volatility in Global Financial Markets

Bangkok, Thailand, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 

JustMarkets has released new market insights examining the primary factors influencing volatility across global financial markets and how traders interpret economic and geopolitical developments in rapidly changing market conditions.

According to JustMarkets, volatility remains an inherent element of financial markets and plays a central role in price formation across multiple asset classes. While volatility is commonly associated with risk, the company notes that it also reflects market expectations, liquidity conditions, and investor reactions to new information.

JustMarkets highlights that economic data releases continue to serve as major catalysts for market movement. Inflation figures, macroeconomic activity, employment reports, and expectations regarding economic growth frequently influence market sentiment and price behavior. The company notes that market reactions are often determined not only by the data itself, but by how actual figures compare with market expectations.

The analysis also emphasizes the importance of central bank communication and interest rate expectations. According to JustMarkets, even small adjustments in policy messaging or communication style can significantly affect trader sentiment and short-term market direction. In many cases, market behavior is shaped more by the interpretation of policy decisions than by the decisions themselves.

In addition to economic indicators, JustMarkets identifies geopolitical developments and global events as major contributors to market uncertainty. Political tensions, elections, and unexpected international developments can rapidly alter sentiment and trigger sudden market reactions.

The company further notes that internal market dynamics can intensify volatility during periods of strong price movement. Position unwinding, concentration of similar trading strategies, execution speed, and liquidity conditions may amplify market reactions under certain circumstances.

“Understanding the mechanisms behind volatility allows traders to better interpret market conditions and improve analytical decision-making,” a JustMarkets spokesperson stated.

Risk Warning: Trading financial instruments involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Market conditions can change rapidly, and losses may exceed deposits. Ensure you understand the risks involved and trade responsibly.
