Bitget UEX Report: Retail Investors Move Beyond Crypto as 52% Add Equities And 51% Use AI

Bitget UEX Report: Retail Investors Move Beyond Crypto as 52% Add Equities And 51% Use AI

 

Bitget UEX Report: Retail Investors Move Beyond Crypto as 52% Add Equities And 51% Use AI

Bitget UEX Report: Retail Investors Move Beyond Crypto as 52% Add Equities And 51% Use AI

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has released the Bitget User Asset Allocation Report 2026 with data showing that retail investors are expanding beyond crypto into commodities, equities, and AI-assisted investing as portfolio construction becomes more diversified across global asset classes. The findings combine trading activity on Bitget with responses from more than 6,000 users globally.

Crypto remained the main source of trading activity in Q1 2026, with 86% of surveyed users holding crypto assets. Crypto accounted for nearly all trading volume in early January before stabilizing in a 60% to 80% range by March as participation broadened into other markets. Over the same period, trading in traditional assets led by gold rose from near zero to between 20% and 40% of total activity, marking the strongest quarterly increase recorded for non-crypto assets on Bitget.

The data highlighted that 52% of users globally now hold equities alongside crypto, while 35% hold gold or other precious metals, making commodities the most widely adopted non-crypto asset category among surveyed participants. AI and precious metals or crude oil emerged as the two themes users most closely associate with investment opportunities in 2026.

Among high-net-worth participants, diversification is accelerating further. Bitget users recorded an average annual return of 13% in 2025, while around 6% of VIP users achieved annual returns between 51% and 100%. Among surveyed high-value users, 74% said they plan to expand across crypto, equities, and commodities in 2026 to manage risk more actively.

Regional trading preferences continue to reflect local macro conditions. In East Asia, 60% of users ranked avoiding currency conversion as a key reason for using USDT settlement, while 48% prioritized avoiding traditional account-opening requirements. In Southeast Asia, 46% of users identified leverage access as a major reason for trading traditional assets. In Latin America, 78% said diversification and protection against inflation or currency depreciation are their main reasons for holding both crypto and traditional assets.

AI adoption is also becoming part of core trading behavior. 51% of surveyed users said they already use AI tools to support investment decisions. Bitget’s AI products, including GetAgent, GetClaw, and Agent Hub, are increasingly used to interpret earnings releases, commodity price moves, macroeconomic developments, and onchain signals across asset classes.

Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, said: “Retail trading behavior is becoming more macro-aware. Users are moving capital across asset classes based on liquidity, volatility, and market access, and they increasingly expect one platform to support that efficiently. Stablecoin-based settlement is becoming a practical entry point for broader market participation. The stronger demand for commodities, equities, and AI tools shows that users are building portfolios around global signals, not around a single asset category.”

Survey results also show a strong demand for the Universal Exchange model. 71% of users identified USDT settlement as the most important feature, while 65% ranked the fast switching across crypto, equities, forex, and commodities within one account as a top priority. Users consistently described the ideal trading platform as one that combines global asset access, stablecoin settlement, centralized liquidity, transparent reserve verification, and AI-assisted decision tools within one system.

HERE unveils AI-powered last meter guidance solution to help delivery drivers complete the final handoff

Delivery van

HERE Last Meter Guidance will help eliminate uncertainty from the critical final meters

  • HERE Last Meter Guidance will help eliminate uncertainty from the most challenging part of a delivery journey: the critical final meters
  • New offering enhances HERE’s end-to-end route optimization capabilities, which are deployed to over 500 fleet customers

Chicago – HERE Technologies, the leading mapping and location data platform, today announced HERE Last Meter Guidance, a location intelligence solution designed to help drivers finish deliveries more quickly, accurately and with less guesswork by providing AI-based guidance from the optimal parking location, through the final handover location. HERE will demo the solution, currently in beta, next week at Home Delivery World USA in Nashville, Tenn.

The last mile represents the shortest distance, yet it has become the most complex and expensive leg of the journey, now accounting for more than half of total supply chain costs. Today, it’s no longer enough to deliver to an address. For many fleets, the biggest challenge begins after arrival.

Using AI, automated sensor data & positioning collection and a constant feedback loop of insights from successful real-world deliveries, HERE Last Meter Guidance will establish ‘ground truth.’ The solution will provide couriers with precise guidance on delivery parking, walking paths and the correct building entry point. The expected result is more efficient fuel consumption, more completed first-attempt deliveries and a better customer experience.

“We’ve come a long way in optimizing how drivers get to a destination, but it’s now the last few meters, from arrival through delivery handoff, that present the biggest bottlenecks. Too often, drivers are working with poor, missing or confusing data right where precision matters most,” said Bart Coppelmans, Senior Director of Product Management at HERE Technologies. “HERE Last Meter Guidance is designed to bring more certainty to that final handoff. With fuel price volatility, condensed delivery windows, delivery automation and heightened consumer expectations, the stakes have never been higher.”

Across major cities, delivery volumes climb, while streets and curbs are constrained by congestion, making urban environments more complex to navigate. At the same time, retailers are compressing delivery timelines and expanding same-day and even one-hour delivery options. HERE’s solution aims to help fleets operate in this new reality by providing precise, real-world guidance for a fast, accurate and successful final handoff.

HERE Last Meter Guidance will complement the company’s existing tour planning and navigation capabilities to support end-to-end transport, from route planning and navigation through delivery completion at the door. HERE will showcase the latest in last mile logistics at Home Delivery World USA, booth #1316. Schedule time to meet with HERE or demo the solution.

HERE Last Meter Guidance is currently in beta and is expected to move toward general availability following this initial phase. For more on HERE Last Meter Guidance, visit here.com/contact.

Holafly et TeleSemana.com lancent l’indice Holafly Global eSIM Index 2026, le premier référentiel complet mesurant le niveau d’adoption de l’eSIM sur 50 marchés

DUBLIN, 13 mai 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Holafly, leader mondial des eSIM de voyage, a annoncé aujourd’hui le lancement de l’indice Holafly Global eSIM Index 2026, une étude inédite évaluant la maturité commerciale de la technologie eSIM sur 50 marchés et auprès de 168 opérateurs de réseaux mobiles à travers le monde.

Développé en collaboration avec TeleSemana.com, l’une des principales publications spécialisées dans les télécommunications en Amérique latine, l’indice propose une vision structurée et fondée sur les données de la manière dont l’eSIM est déployée, utilisée et limitée selon les régions. Il combine des données au niveau des opérateurs, des variables propres à chaque pays, une évaluation qualitative ainsi qu’un mécanisme de pénalisation réglementaire au sein d’un cadre de notation unique allant de 0 à 100.

Les résultats démontrent clairement un tournant décisif dans le secteur : l’eSIM n’est plus une technologie en développement, mais une capacité désormais déployée à l’échelle mondiale. Ce qui différencie aujourd’hui les marchés n’est plus la préparation technologique, mais les conditions structurelles qui favorisent ou freinent l’adoption, notamment la disponibilité des appareils, les cadres réglementaires et la qualité de l’expérience utilisateur.

Les États-Unis se classent au premier rang mondial avec un score de 90,2, suivis de l’Estonie et du Royaume-Uni, tandis que des marchés comme le Soudan, l’Inde et le Liberia reflètent les barrières structurelles qui continuent de limiter l’adoption. L’indice souligne notamment que l’intervention réglementaire constitue un facteur déterminant, certains marchés appliquant des restrictions qui affectent sensiblement la capacité de montée en échelle des services eSIM.

La principale conclusion de l’étude est que l’adoption de l’eSIM n’est plus limitée par la technologie, mais par la conception même des marchés. Lorsque la réglementation permet l’activation numérique, que les appareils sont largement disponibles et que les opérateurs offrent des expériences fluides, l’adoption progresse rapidement. Quand ces conditions ne sont pas réunies, la croissance reste structurellement limitée.

« L’eSIM a déjà dépassé le stade de technologie émergente. Ce qui façonnera la prochaine phase d’adoption sera la capacité des marchés à offrir aux utilisateurs un accès numérique fluide. Les pays qui mènent cette transition ne sont pas nécessairement ceux disposant des plus grandes infrastructures télécoms, mais ceux qui créent des expériences sans friction répondant aux attentes des voyageurs internationaux d’aujourd’hui », a déclaré Chris Hills, vice-président des opérations de réseau et des opérateurs chez Holafly.

Sur le plan méthodologique, l’indice évalue cinq dimensions principales : la préparation du marché, l’activation et l’assistance, l’adoption et la concurrence, l’environnement réglementaire et l’évaluation par des experts. Un mécanisme de pénalisation spécifique mesure l’impact des marchés qui restreignent l’accès aux fournisseurs internationaux d’eSIM, garantissant ainsi que l’indice reflète non seulement les capacités des opérateurs, mais également l’accessibilité réelle pour les utilisateurs.

Alors que les voyageurs recherchent des moyens plus flexibles, instantanés et sans frontières de rester connectés, les fournisseurs d’eSIM de voyage deviennent un moteur clé de transformation du secteur. En supprimant de nombreux obstacles traditionnellement associés aux cartes SIM physiques et aux processus d’activation complexes, les solutions eSIM redéfinissent la manière dont les utilisateurs accèdent aux services mobiles à l’étranger et accélèrent la transition vers une expérience de voyage mondiale plus fluide.

L’indice Holafly Global eSIM Index 2026 établit un nouveau cadre de référence destiné aux opérateurs, régulateurs et acteurs du secteur, en fournissant un référentiel cohérent permettant d’identifier les marchés où l’adoption est déjà concrète, ceux où elle reste limitée, et ceux plus susceptible de connaître une croissance future.

WASHINGTON, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The 2026 Sabin Awards were presented yesterday at the National Academy of Sciences building in Washington, D.C., with Professor Uğur Şahin, MD, and Professor Özlem Türeci, MD, receiving the Sabin Vaccine Institute’s Albert B. Sabin Gold Medal for their role in turning the tide of the COVID-19 pandemic and their efforts to support access to novel medicines globally. Dr. Senjuti Saha of Bangladesh was awarded the 2026 Rising Star Award for using genomics to inform the rollout of the world’s largest typhoid vaccine program, protecting millions of children.

“Together, Professors Şahin and Türeci have helped reshape the future of vaccines, demonstrating how scientific entrepreneurship can translate cutting-edge research into global public health impact,” said Sabin Chief Executive Officer Amy Finan. “The Sabin Gold Medal recognizes their extraordinary contribution for accelerating lifesaving vaccines and their commitment to vaccine access and equity.”

Professors Şahin and Türeci, who are both business and life partners, were awarded the Sabin Gold Medal for their steadfast dedication to supporting medicine access through innovative technologies they have been pioneering for decades. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, they leveraged the technology they had been researching and developing for decades originally for oncology applications and pivoted their company’s focus to develop a COVID-19 vaccine in record time that helped protect billions of lives.

Driven by the mission to improve the health of people worldwide, Şahin and Türeci continue to advance the development of vaccine candidates against diseases of major relevance to millions of people worldwide, including tuberculosis, HIV, and malaria. Their dedication extends beyond developing medical innovations as they work along the entire R&D chain to make a difference for communities. Together with their team and partners, they are leading efforts to contribute to build a sustainable and resilient vaccine ecosystem in Africa, for Africa.

“We are deeply honored to receive the 2026 Sabin Gold Medal. Albert Sabin’s conviction that scientific breakthroughs only truly matter when they reach the people has been a lasting source of inspiration for us. We firmly believe that innovative medicines must be accessible to those who need them most,” said Professors Şahin and Türeci. “This award is a testament to a collaborative effort, recognizing the dedication of our teams and partners around the world who walk this journey with us and share a deep sense of commitment to improving health.”

Sabin’s Rising Star Award encourages and recognizes the next generation of vaccine and immunization leaders. Rising Star Awardee Dr. Senjuti Saha generates critical evidence for major national immunization initiatives, including Bangladesh’s 2025 typhoid conjugate vaccine campaign that has already reached more than 40 million children. As Deputy Executive Director of the Child Health Research Foundation (CHRF), she helped build one of the country’s leading genomic laboratories. The lab has sequenced thousands of pathogen genomes to improve outbreak detection and inform vaccine development for diseases such as Klebsiella and RSV. Her work also emphasizes developing local scientific leadership and mentoring the next generation of researchers.

“This award is incredibly meaningful to me because it reflects years of work by an extraordinary community in Bangladesh and shows that great science can grow anywhere people are determined to solve problems together,” said Dr. Saha.

“Dr. Senjuti Saha exemplifies the next generation of scientific leadership,” said Finan. “She understands that her work doesn’t stop in the laboratory or with a published paper. To improve and protect community health, she uses data and evidence to advocate for strong vaccine policy.”

The Albert B. Sabin Gold Medal and Rising Star Award, awarded since 1994 and 2020 respectively, celebrate Dr. Sabin’s legacy of ensuring vaccine access for all. They honor individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to immunization and global health. These awards commemorate the legacy of the late Dr. Albert B. Sabin, who discovered the oral polio vaccine and dedicated his life to ensuring everyone in the world had access to vaccines.

Quest Software Extends Data and AI Leadership with Quest Data Modeler and Quest Data Intelligence, Enhancing its Trusted Data Management Platform

New capabilities deliver cloud-native modeling, AI-powered policy management, and an expanded library of QuestAI assistants, giving modern data teams a single, governed foundation for analytics and AI initiatives — from data structure to data access

AUSTIN, Texas, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quest Software, a global leader in data management, cybersecurity and platform modernization, today announced two major releases to the Quest Trusted Data Management Platform, the industry’s only unified, end-to-end SaaS platform for trusted, AI-ready data. Building on the Automated Data Product Factory, the transformative new capability introduced earlier this year, the platform’s new AI-powered capabilities deliver innovative technology for modern data teams with the release of Quest Data Modeler, a cloud-native data modeling tool, and Quest Data Intelligence, which expands the library of AI assistants spanning governance, lineage, compliance, data products, data quality, and natural-language access to governed data. To learn more, visit: quest.com/data-management-platform.

Most organizations stitch together separate data modeling tools, governance suites, and AI assistants, leaving them with multiple naming definitions, broken audit trails, and AI assistants running on ungoverned data. Quest Data Modeler and Quest Data Intelligence, working jointly within the Quest Trusted Data Management Platform, eliminates that fragmentation, giving customers a trusted, reliable experience with a shared understanding of their data. Data modeling establishes the logical definition and naming standards, and data governance keeps those standards consistent across the platform creating consistent business terms wherever data is consumed. QuestAI assistants speak the same language to every user. The result is one platform, one audit trail, and one shared understanding of data from how it is structured to how it is consumed.

”Trusted data is the backbone of any modern AI strategy, and our continued innovation is helping organizations turn AI ambition into real business value – with lower risk, higher accuracy, and the trusted data that makes faster AI deployment possible,” said Michael Laudon, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Quest Software. “At the pace we’re all moving in the AI era, trust can’t be tacked on after the fact – it has to be baked in from the start, or AI initiatives stall. That’s why we designed the Quest Trusted Data Management Platform with multiple entry points, each aligned to different stages of enterprise data and AI maturity, so we can meet our customers where they are. Some organizations are just beginning to address data visibility and quality; others are operationalizing governance and lineage to meet regulatory and risk requirements; and the most advanced are managing data as a product making it continuously trusted, reusable, and scalable for AI, analytics, and automation. By adding AI-powered data modeling and data intelligence, we are providing organizations with a first-of-its-kind solution that spans the entire data lifecycle, and helps them achieve trusted, AI-ready data faster – no matter where they are in their journey.”

“The bottom line is, there is no trusted AI without trusted data, and there is no trusted data without sound data modeling. That is where it all begins,” said Rocky Creel, Executive Director, JP Morgan Chase. “Fragmented data landscapes, inconsistent definitions, and manual processes slow everything down and erode confidence in what we deliver downstream. Quest Software’s data modeling solutions give us the rigor and consistency we need at the foundation through well-defined structures, shared semantics, and governed designs that every downstream capability can build from. When your models are right, governance, lineage, and AI readiness follow. That’s why Quest’s continued innovation in data modeling is so critical in helping to build a scalable, trusted, AI-ready data ecosystem.”

Across every industry and organization, data teams are dealing with fragmented, untrusted data that limits their AI readiness, accelerating regulatory compliance, and disparate tools and definitions that erode trust in data product outputs. Existing solutions have provided support for one of these problems, whereas the Quest Trusted Data Management Platform addresses all three within a single offering, and is built for how modern data teams work. With Quest Data Modeler and Quest Data Intelligence, the Trusted Data Management Platform now governs the two layers that matter most in the modern data stack – how data is modeled, and how data is governed. No other solution covers both in a single offering.

Quest Data Modeler is purpose-built for modern data stacks and to eliminate the trade-off between legacy tools that lack modern collaboration, and lightweight SaaS-enabled tools that lack governance. Drawing on Quest’s leadership in data modeling, it combines AI-powered data modeling with enterprise-level governance in a single offering, delivering real-time collaboration, governed business definitions, and standard naming across hybrid and cloud environments including Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake, and others. Quest Data Modeler capabilities include:

  • AI-Assisted Modeling, a natural-language interface that generates and refines models, suggests consistent naming conventions, and accelerates delivery through proposal-and-review workflows. Modeling cycles now drop from weeks to hours without sacrificing the audit trails that organizations require.
  • Real-Time Collaborative Modeling allows data architects, analytics engineers, business analysts, and data stewards to work in a single live workspace, with comments and discussions handled directly in the modeling workspace to eliminate siloed work.
  • Enterprise Model Repository delivers a centralized Mart repository with model locking, version history, multi-user conflict resolution and controlled change management, giving data teams the rigor required for large, multi-team programs and a governance infrastructure that other cloud-native modelers don’t have.
  • Full-Stack Modeling includes conceptual, logical, and physical data modeling in one place with visibility across every layer, ensuring that “customer” and “revenue” mean the same thing across every team, dashboard and AI system.
  • erwin Heritage and Hybrid Coexistence giving the tens of thousands of organizations that rely on existing erwin investments now can migrate assets, maintain hybrid workflows, and move to the cloud at their own pace, giving them the ability to protect decades of modeling discipline without starting over — a path no cloud-native competitor can match.

Quest Data Intelligence builds on Quest’s history of unmatched and proven data intelligence and governance capabilities, infusing AI-driven innovations to directly help organizations deliver trusted, AI-ready data at the speed and scale modern AI demands while reducing regulatory risk. Quest Data Intelligence capabilities include:

  • AI-Powered Policy Manager delivers governance that keeps pace with regulation instead of chasing it. This feature generates policies directly from some of the most stringent regulatory frameworks – including the EU AI Act, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework and GDPR, with real-time policy enforcement at the point of data access, delivering a policy-as-code approach backed by continuous compliance monitoring and full audit trails.
  • Expanded QuestAI Assistant Library builds on the QuestAI Stewardship Assistant and helps organizations develop business glossaries up to 75 percent faster and onboards new data sources up to 10x faster. New assistants now span glossary and ownership, data lineage, compliance, data products and data quality.
  • Universal Semantic Assistant provides natural-language access to governed, trusted insights powered by Quest’s semantic layer, closing the persistent gap between business questions and the technical data that answers them.

MDSap Tech, a Quest Platinum Partner and SAP Gold Partner within the Midis Group ecosystem, brings more than 30 years of experience helping organizations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa modernize data management, analytics, and digital transformation strategies. “Quest Software is taking a strong step forward with the latest evolution of data modeling, making it more collaborative, accessible, and efficient. The Quest Data Modeler has the potential to significantly broaden participation beyond traditional technical users, enabling business users to play a more active role in the modeling process, which is hugely important for all organizations,” said Ömer Akgül, Technology and Analytics Solutions Manager, MDSap Tech. “This new offering can bring organizations substantial benefits, including improved alignment between business and IT, faster iteration cycles, and more accurate representation of business needs. The integration of AI-powered capabilities stands out as a key enabler, helping to simplify complex modeling tasks and accelerate productivity.”

Tecnet Dati has more than 30 years of experience as an IT consulting firm offering services across AI, advanced analytics, data governance and management, and more, and is a Quest Platinum+ Partner. “The user interface is much lighter, while still providing the substance and core functionality to someone that might not be as experienced with data modeling,” said Renato Comes, Sales and Marketing Director, Tecnet Dati. “With integration with the Mart repository, this will allow implementation of a hybrid environment where downstream consumers who are less technical can build the models to meet their business needs, while modeling teams can refine them from a more in-depth standpoint. It builds a modelling ecosystem of collaboration, speed and scale.”
