Bitget and SlowMist Map Emerging Security Risks as AI Agents Begin Executing Trades
VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 24 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has collaborated with blockchain security firm SlowMist, to release a joint research report examining the risks emerging as AI systems begin executing trades autonomously. As trading enters this “agentic” phase, where systems move beyond analysis into action, a new category of risk is taking shape, one that traditional security models were not designed to address.
The report highlights a fundamental shift that once AI moves from advisory roles into execution, errors and exploits are no longer isolated events. They can trigger immediate, irreversible financial outcomes. In crypto markets, where transactions settle instantly, a compromised or misdirected agent can act faster than human intervention allows.
“AI is no longer just interpreting markets, it's participating,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “That changes the nature of risk entirely. The question is no longer how intelligent these systems are, but how safely they are allowed to operate.”
According to the research, agent-based systems introduce new attack surfaces across multiple layers, from model inputs to execution pathways. Prompt injection can influence decision-making, malicious plugins can alter behavior and over-permissioned APIs can expose capital to unintended actions. These risks are compounded by the always-on nature of autonomous agents, which operate continuously without direct user oversight.
Rather than treating these as isolated vulnerabilities, the report frames them as systemic. Security in the agentic era must extend beyond application-level safeguards into the architecture of how AI systems interact with capital.
Bitget’s approach reflects this shift. The platform separates intelligence, execution, and asset authorization into distinct layers, reducing the likelihood that any single point of failure can trigger unintended trades. Permissions are structured around least-privilege access, with transaction simulation and verification processes introduced before execution is finalized. These controls are designed to ensure that even as AI agents operate autonomously, their scope remains defined and constrained.
SlowMist’s analysis reinforces the need for a closed-loop security model, where risks are addressed before, during, and after execution. Continuous monitoring, bounded permissions, and verifiable transaction flows form the foundation of this framework, moving security from a reactive process to an embedded system design.
The findings point to a broader reality where AI agents become more integrated into trading, asset management, and on-chain activity; the boundary between user intent and system execution becomes increasingly abstract. In this environment, reliability is no longer determined solely by performance, but by how well systems can operate within controlled limits.
Within Bitget’s UEX model, where crypto assets, derivatives, and tokenized traditional instruments coexist, this shift carries wider implications. As financial activity becomes more automated and interconnected, infrastructure must be designed not only for speed and access, but for containment and resilience. The joint report serves as a reference point for platforms, developers, and users navigating this transition, highlighting that the next phase of financial innovation will depend as much on secure execution as it does on intelligent systems.

DMITRY SHUBOV: AI LOCK-IN RISK RISES FOR SOUTHEAST ASIA LEGAL-TECH
KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 (Bernama) -- Southeast Asian legal-tech startups targeting United States (US) expansion face mounting compliance and commercial risks as governments and enterprise buyers increasingly favour region-specific artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, in line with projections from Gartner.
“As suggested by Gartner’s findings, decisions about platforms require careful consideration. Founders who treat AI-platform and data-residency decisions as investor-grade deliverables will encounter fewer surprises when entering the US market,” said Dmitry Shubov Consulting Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dmitry Shubov in a statement.
Platform lock-in—driven by sovereign cloud frameworks and country-specific AI ecosystems—is expected to surge from five per cent to 35 per cent by 2027, complicating cross-border deployment strategies.
Founders pursuing US-based pilots, enterprise contracts, or fundraising must now account for stricter data residency, processing, and transfer requirements.
Governments and large buyers are increasingly mandating the use of approved local platforms, limiting cross-border data movement and introducing new operational constraints.
While regional large language models (LLMs) may offer advantages in regulatory alignment and multilingual capability, deploying across multiple jurisdictions can create friction for US customers and investors.
The shift is also raising due diligence standards. US stakeholders now expect investor-grade transparency, including auditable data flow diagrams, clear subprocessor disclosures, and legally compliant transfer mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses (SCCs) or binding corporate rules (BCRs).
These evolving requirements have direct commercial implications. Startups that proactively structure data governance frameworks and residency strategies can accelerate procurement cycles, reduce transaction risk, and improve valuation outcomes by addressing investor concerns early.
Dmitry Shubov Consulting advises Southeast Asian legal-tech firms on translating region-specific AI and cloud risks into investor-ready frameworks, including data mapping, contractual playbooks, and US go-to-market strategies.

ABAXX SINGAPORE JOINS SBMA, BOOSTS PHYSICAL GOLD TRADING
KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 (Bernama) -- Abaxx Technologies Inc (Abaxx), a financial software and market infrastructure company, announced its subsidiary, Abaxx Singapore Pte Ltd (Abaxx Singapore), has been accepted as a Local Associate Member of the Singapore Bullion Market Association (SBMA).
“Abaxx has anchored its integrated precious metals market infrastructure in Singapore to align with Asia’s physical trade.
“That approach is consistent with the direction SBMA has set for the next phase of market development, and we look forward to contributing to smarter precious metals markets,” said Abaxx Exchange Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Nancy Seah in a statement.
Meanwhile, SBMA CEO, Albert Cheng welcomed Abaxx Exchange, calling the newly launched Abaxx Gold Singapore futures contract a timely addition to Asia’s gold market infrastructure.
Cheng highlighted that the contract seeks to establish a Singapore-based, kilobar-native, physically deliverable benchmark, supported by modernised title and transfer mechanisms.
The SBMA is a non-profit, member-driven industry body that represents key participants across the precious metals value chain, underpinning Singapore’s position as a regional hub for physical gold trading and custody across the Asia-Pacific.
This membership highlights Abaxx’s increasing involvement in the physical gold market, coinciding with growing participation in the Abaxx Exchange’s kilobar futures contract, deliverable into Singapore.
Abaxx is leveraging its co-located spot and futures infrastructure to establish a direct access point for the kilobar market, enabling the next phase of market expansion as the region solidifies its role in global gold trading.
In a recent pilot, the company demonstrated the mobilisation of physical gold as collateral within existing market structures, enabling T+0 ownership transfer to support financing against vaulted inventory.
The transaction illustrates how Abaxx Digital Title can be applied to vaulted gold to address inefficiencies in a US$47 billion segment of gold trade finance, aligning with SBMA’s focus on deepening Singapore’s leadership in bullion services. (US$1=RM3.93)

MENLO LAUNCHES FIRST BROWSER SECURITY PLATFORM FOR AI AGENT-DRIVEN ENTERPRISES
KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 (Bernama) -- Menlo Security, the leader in human and agentic Browser Security, has unveiled the first Browser Security Platform purpose-built to secure the agentic enterprise, where autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents will outnumber human employees and the browser has become the operating system for both.
Menlo in a statement said the platform provides the first unified control plane that applies machine-speed governance and threat prevention to both human and AI actors, deployed globally on Menlo’s elastic cloud infrastructure.
“By moving protection directly into the browser session, we are enabling organisations to deploy AI agents that work at a scale and speed impossible for humans without opening the door to catastrophic prompt injection or data exfiltration.
“Without this protection, a single compromised AI agent can move laterally across enterprise systems, exfiltrate data, or execute fraudulent transactions at machine speed, with no human in the loop,” said Menlo Security Chief Executive Officer, Bill Robbins.
This launch follows a record fiscal year for Menlo, which surpassed US$140 million in annual recurring revenue with net retention exceeding 120 per cent, alongside a strategic partnership with Google to provide least-privileged remote access to desktop applications and data via the browser for both humans and AI agents. (US$1=RM3.93)
The Menlo Browser Security Platform provides Menlo AI Agent Security that enforces instruction-data separation to ensure agents never mistake malicious data for legitimate commands and are unable to exfiltrate sensitive data.
It also facilitates secure access to applications and data, sanitising inputs so agents can safely replicate human workflows. With least-privileged agent governance, the platform enforces granular controls to prevent autonomous agents from moving laterally or accessing unauthorised data.
By embedding security directly into the browser session, it creates “Architectural Immunity”, neutralising evasive threats before they reach AI agents or human endpoints and providing a unified trust layer for the enterprise.

EARTHDAILY DATA MEETS CEOS ANALYSIS READY DATA STANDARD
KUALA LUMPUR, March 13 (Bernama) -- EarthDaily, a global Earth observation company, announced its data products have achieved CEOS Analysis Ready Data (CEOS-ARD) compliance, a globally recognised standard set by the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS).
This milestone confirms that EarthDaily data meets rigorous international requirements for radiometric calibration, geometric correction, metadata completeness, and interoperability, enabling immediate quantitative analysis with minimal additional user processing.
According to EarthDaily in a statement, this compliance was achieved prior to the full commercial availability of its complete constellation, a rare feat for a commercial Earth observation system.
“This achievement validates the scientific foundation of our data. CEOS-ARD compliance confirms we are delivering science-grade data at commercial scale,” said EarthDaily Chief Executive Officer, Don Osborne in a statement.
The CEOS-ARD framework helps address the persistent challenge in Earth observation where users often lack the infrastructure and expertise required to process raw imagery. Systematic provision of CEOS-ARD reduces that burden and supports more effective decision-making.
EarthDaily’s architecture was intentionally designed to ensure continuity with established scientific archives, enabling comparability and compatibility with Landsat and Sentinel data records. This design allows users to seamlessly integrate EarthDaily data into existing time-series analyses while benefiting from enhanced spectral diversity and daily revisit.
Compliance signals several key deliverables from EarthDaily, including science-grade correction, interoperable datasets structured for robust time-series analysis, and immediate usability for advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) workflows.
With six additional satellites launching in May and continued expansion later this year, the EarthDaily Constellation will enter commercial operations in Summer 2026, delivering daily, consistent global coverage supported by this compliant data.
This milestone reinforces EarthDaily’s position as a commercial provider bridging scientific rigour with scalable, AI-ready Earth observation infrastructure.

EGG MEDICAL UNVEILS TRIAL SHOWING APRON-FREE PROTECTION FOR INTERVENTIONAL TEAMS
KUALA LUMPUR, March 11 (Bernama) -- Egg Medical, a leader in enhanced radiation protection devices (ERPD), has unveiled the results of a Late-Breaking Trial presented at the Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT) 2026 conference.
“Our goal is to give clinicians a choice, but one backed by rigorous, published data. By providing personalised data through live dosimetry, the EggNest supports apron-free or ultralight apron workflows where approved, rather than forcing a specific behaviour,” said Egg Medical Chief Commercial Officer, Gavin Philipps in a statement.
Presented by Santiago Garcia of The Christ Hospital, the study confirms that the EggNest system significantly reduces levels of scatter radiation for all members of the interventional team, whereby users could perform procedures safely without lead aprons or while wearing ultralight aprons.
“This data proves that we no longer must choose. By using the EggNest system, we can provide the entire team with protection that is superior to the status quo, either by going apron-free or while wearing aprons that feel like a light vest. This is about ensuring that the next generation can have healthy careers without the physical toll,” said Garcia.
The study showed that annualised collar doses over standard lead aprons were 25.5 mrem for the primary operator, 9.8 mrem for the assistant, and 10.2 mrem for the nurse. When combined with ultralight aprons, total annualised body doses dropped significantly to 1.41 for the primary operator, 2.1 for the assistant, and 1.0 for the nurse.
At these levels, clinicians would need to work an entire career to receive the same radiation dose they currently absorb in just one year under standard practices. The research also confirmed that whether clinicians chose to go apron-free or wore aprons 55 per cent lighter than standard lead, the entire team remained below traditional exposure levels.
Under the banner of “Protection Is Personal”, Egg Medical promotes a flexible and responsible approach, empowering clinicians to choose their preferred level of protection without compromising safety.

Under the banner of “Protection Is Personal”, Egg Medical promotes a flexible and responsible approach, empowering clinicians to choose their preferred level of protection without compromising safety.

Accelerating Representation, Influence, And Leadership For Women Across The Gaming Industry
LOS ANGELES, March 9 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Xsolla, a global video game commerce company that helps developers launch, grow, and monetize their games, today reaffirmed its ongoing commitment to supporting women across the global gaming ecosystem through curated community initiatives, industry events, and thought leadership platforms in key growth markets, including Türkiye, Dubai, and Cyprus.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260308595758/en/
As the gaming industry continues to expand across emerging and high-growth markets, Xsolla is focused on empowering developers globally, including fostering a more inclusive ecosystem that gives women founders, studio leaders, publishers, and entrepreneurs greater access to visibility, networks, and opportunities.
Through a series of targeted industry gatherings and community-led discussions, Xsolla has actively supported conversations around women in leadership in gaming. Most recently, in Dubai, Xsolla hosted a dedicated event that convened women founders and senior leaders from across the Middle East and neighboring markets. As the MENA gaming market continues its rapid expansion, with revenues projected to reach $9.57 billion by 2030, the event provided a platform for open dialogue, knowledge sharing, and conversations on scaling studios for regional and global growth.
In 2025, Xsolla co-organized the Women in Games Cyprus conference alongside Axlebolt, WN, and the Women in Games Association, a dedicated gathering of more than 70 senior leaders featuring panels, roundtables, and workshops designed to help women and allies connect, collaborate, and grow together professionally and personally.
With a strong and rapidly growing gaming ecosystem that reached $1.01 billion in revenue in 2025, Türkiye represents another critical focus market. Home to a new generation of talented women professionals across the video game landscape, Xsolla sees significant opportunity to support this rapidly growing market by connecting regional talent to the global gaming industry through its international network and sector expertise.
By leveraging its suite of tools, partnerships, and events, Xsolla aims to:
- Increase visibility for women leaders and founders in gaming
- Encourage mentorship and peer-to-peer collaboration
- Facilitate cross-border connections between regional studios and global markets
- Support sustainable growth across emerging gaming hubs
“Representation matters, not only at the executive level, but across every layer of the gaming ecosystem,” said Ilayda Bayari, VP of Business Development EMEA at Xsolla. “By fostering mentorship, creating visible role models, and building meaningful connections between regional talent and global networks, Xsolla helps create real pathways for the next generation of women entering the industry. A more inclusive ecosystem drives stronger innovation, better decision making, and long-term growth for the entire ecosystem.”
Back at home in Los Angeles, Xsolla is championing female leaders within the organization and in the community who lead our teams across various roles, including Legal, Human Resources, Office Directors, Business Development, Training, and Customer Success. Our leaders are active participants in inclusive organizations across the industry and beyond, earning recognition from Women We Admire and OnConferences' Top Leaders, and contributing as speakers and hosts for events, including with Women in Games and Women in Games International. We believe in providing opportunities for growth and leadership through internal advancement, cross-functional collaboration, and active participation in industry organizations that support and celebrate women in gaming.
By supporting inclusive leadership and cross-border collaboration, Xsolla continues to contribute to a more connected and opportunity-rich global industry.

XSOLLA LAUNCHES RESELLER PROGRAM TO UNLOCK GLOBAL GAME REVENUE

KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 (Bernama) -- Xsolla, a global video game commerce company, announced the debut of the Xsolla Reseller Program, a new product designed to help game developers instantly scale and capture billions in untapped revenue within local markets worldwide.
According to Xsolla in a statement, the programme eliminates the need for developers and publishers to build local infrastructure, allowing them to partner directly with official global distributors and resellers.
Game developers pursuing global expansion often face an infrastructure challenge that leaves billions of dollars uncaptured in cash-dependent emerging economies, including Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and North Africa. Players in these regions primarily access digital content through local distribution partners.
"Most game developers face the same challenge when scaling globally: they lack the local infrastructure and direct access to regional markets, especially when building the presence independently is slow, costly, and operationally complex," said Xsolla President, Chris Hewish.
He stated that the Xsolla Reseller Program solves this by serving as the infrastructure layer between developers and vetted local resellers.
The programme transforms this latent global demand into a controlled revenue stream by connecting developers with verified local resellers through a centralised platform that handles communication, onboarding, compliance, fraud protection, and customer support.
Key benefits include maintaining full control over regional distribution strategy using SKU Availability Controls and guaranteeing compliance across all reseller partnerships through a Verified Reseller Approval Process. Developers can also optimise distribution strategies using a Unified Reseller Analytics Dashboard.
Furthermore, the programme secures revenue by eliminating pricing abuse and arbitrage with geo-fenced key distribution and built-in fraud protection. Operational overhead is significantly reduced via a Global Payout Infrastructure that automates tax documentation compliant with local requirements across more than 150 countries.
The programme has initially launched with a curated cohort of resellers and distributors in Southeast Asia and Latin America, with further global expansion planned throughout 2026.

LANTRONIX EXPANDS EMBEDDED COMPUTE PLATFORM WITH MEDIATEK-BASED SOM SOLUTIONS
KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 (Bernama) -- Lantronix Inc has announced a significant strategic expansion of its embedded compute platform through new System-on-Module (SOM) solutions based on the Genio family of System-on-Chip (SOC) platforms from MediaTek Inc.
This expansion marks a strategic step in scaling Lantronix’s embedded compute ecosystem by broadening its solutions portfolio, increasing market coverage and strengthening its ability to serve high-growth industrial and commercial Edge AI deployments.
By expanding its silicon foundation, Lantronix in a statement said it enhances its ability to deliver performance-optimised, power-efficient compute platforms across a wider range of deployment requirements and volume tiers.
Lantronix chief strategy officer, Mathi Gurusamy said: “MediaTek expands our ability to serve a distinct segment of edge AI deployments — those optimised for power efficiency, performance-to-cost ratio and scalable volume production.
“By addressing these differentiated workload requirements, we increase our total addressable market, strengthen supply resiliency and position Lantronix to win a broader range of industrial and commercial design programmes worldwide.”
The addition of MediaTek-based SOMs broadens Lantronix’s platform to address high-volume, value-optimised and power-efficient Edge AI deployments, enabling customers to access premium performance-based, efficient inferencing workloads purpose-built for scalability across industries such as industrial automation, robotics, drones and warehouse automation.
Furthermore, this expanded multi-silicon strategy enables Lantronix to capture a broader spectrum of design wins, reduce dependency risk, provide long-term platform continuity to customers and improve supply chain resiliency.
Under the agreement, Lantronix will integrate MediaTek platforms optimised to simplify AI model development and deployment while delivering advanced multimedia processing and industrial-grade capabilities while also supporting the NVIDIA TAO framework.
Lantronix will showcase a drone technology demonstration developed with Teledyne FLIR OEM at Embedded World 2026 from March 10 to 12 in Nuremberg, Germany, highlighting real-time edge intelligence in vision-driven workloads.
