AM Best Upgrades Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of Hanoi Reinsurance Joint Stock Corporation
The Credit Ratings (ratings) reflect Hanoi Re’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its strong operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. The ratings also factor in rating enhancement from Hanoi Re’s ultimate parent, HDI Haftpflichtverband der Deutschen Industrie V.a.G.
The upgrade of the Long-Term ICR reflects Hanoi Re’s strengthened balance sheet strength fundamentals in recent years. Hanoi Re’s risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), is expected to remain at the strongest level over the medium term. Capital requirements have increased in fiscal year (FY) 2025 following strong business growth and higher investment risk, though the company’s capital adequacy remains robust, nonetheless. The company’s investment portfolio is of moderate risk, with investments mainly allocated toward cash and term deposits, and the remainder held in non-rated corporate bonds and affiliated private equity investments. The company’s high retrocession dependence to support its underwriting of large commercial risks is viewed as an offsetting factor, though reinsurance counterparty risk is mitigated partially by the company’s quality panel of retrocession counterparties.
AM Best views the company’s operating performance as strong, as evidenced by its five-year average return-on-equity ratio of 14.4% (FY 2021-2025). Operating earnings improved in FY 2025, supported primarily by improvements in underwriting performance. Underwriting performance showed a recovery in FY 2025 supported by favourable loss reserve development, reduction in management expenses and premium rate increases. Investment returns, consisting mainly of interest and dividend income, is expected to remain a key contributor to the company’s overall earnings.
Hanoi Re is one of the two domestic reinsurers in Vietnam, with a significant volume of business sourced from its affiliated company, PVI Insurance Corporation. The company has a moderate underwriting risk given its sizeable exposure to catastrophe-exposed property and engineering lines, although potential losses are mitigated partially by catastrophe retrocession.
Ratings are communicated to rated entities prior to publication. Unless stated otherwise, the ratings were not amended subsequent to that communication.
This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best’s website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see AM Best’s Recent Rating Activity web page.

Bitget Challenges the Definition of an Exchange With New Brand Film
The film presents a unified trading environment where cryptocurrencies, stocks, forex, commodities, and precious metals are accessible through a single, unified account. It reflects a broader evolution in how users engage with markets, as activity increasingly spans multiple asset classes shaped by global macro conditions.
Recent market dynamics have highlighted the interconnected nature of financial assets. Movements in interest rates, commodities, currencies, and equities are increasingly linked, prompting users to look beyond single-market strategies. The brand film captures this shift, positioning Bitget's UEX as an environment designed to support cross-asset participation within one system.
"What an exchange is supposed to look like hasn't been questioned," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "Users are approaching markets differently, they are focused on opportunities across assets, and platforms need to reflect that. What we've built with UEX shows our commitment to bring the TradFi, crypto and universal assets under one roof."
The platform is built around Crypto and TradFi tabs side by side, enabling users to view and access a range of markets without moving between separate accounts or interfaces. Rather than focusing on individual asset classes, the UEX model aligns with a market environment where trading activity increasingly moves across assets in response to shared macro drivers. This approach allows users to respond to developments in one market while maintaining positions in others within the same system.
Within UEX, execution, capital allocation, and risk management are handled through a unified account structure. The film highlights four elements of the UEX experience: visibility across global markets, consistent execution supported by liquidity infrastructure, capital efficiency through a unified margin system, and an integrated ecosystem that includes trading tools and AI-supported features.
The release of the brand film reflects Bitget's expansion beyond traditional exchange models, bringing digital assets and traditional financial instruments into a unified trading environment. It closes with "Get the idea?" — less a tagline, more a quiet challenge to an industry still shaped by legacy assumptions, where the structure of exchanges has yet to catch up with the reality of how markets move.

Bitget and SlowMist Map Emerging Security Risks as AI Agents Begin Executing Trades
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
“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
“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
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
“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.

XSOLLA LAUNCHES RESELLER PROGRAM TO UNLOCK GLOBAL GAME REVENUE
![]() |
| Graphic: Xsolla |
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.

Cygnet.One emerges as a globally accredited e-Invoicing Platform & trusted across 14+ countries, aligned with IMDA, Singapore Compliance Mandates
As regions such as APAC, Europe, MENA, and the UK accelerate the adoption of structured invoicing and digital tax reporting, enterprises face challenges related to fragmented frameworks, variations in schemas & validation rules, invoice lifecycle statuses, and evolving authority requirements further complicate compliance, limiting global visibility and governance. Cygnet.One addresses this complexity by offering a single global platform that supports all major e-Invoicing models, including PEPPOL and non-PEPPOL frameworks, Continuous Transaction Controls and real-time clearance as well as post-issuance reporting models, eliminating the need to deploy and manage separate solutions & providers across countries.
Cygnet.One is an Open PEPPOL-certified Access Point (AP) and Service Metadata Publisher (SMP). The platform is also accredited by major tax authorities such as IMDA (Singapore), BOSA (Belgium), GSTN (India – IRP), ZATCA (KSA), MOF (UAE), LHDN & MDEC (Malaysia), ZRA (Zambia) & others as an Application Service Provider (ASP) for e-Invoicing & VAT/GST compliance.
The platform manages the full e-Invoice lifecycle for Singapore based enterprises, including e2e ERP integration to fetch documents or manually generate documents from an intuitive product interface. It also validates data, sends or receives e-Invoices and archive e-Invoices across B2B, and B2G domestic transactions.

The platform supports B2B & B2G e-invoices, generation of debit and credit notes, order exchanges, & other documents across sales and purchase transactions. As mandates expand beyond invoices to include orders, compliance shifts upstream, making ERP data accuracy, procurement and supply chain processes tax-sensitive from transaction & document type creation.
Trusted by 1,000+ enterprises globally, Cygnet.One is built on an API-first architecture also supporting other ERP integration mechanisms including file-based, and configurable pre-built connectors. This enables seamless e-Invoice compliance for both sales and purchase workflows without disrupting finance or procurement workflows.

The platform is built with enterprise-grade security, encrypted data transmission, and compliance-aligned archiving.
Beyond technology, Cygnet.One actively collaborates with partners and industry leaders from CFOs to IT leaders to drive global e-Invoicing adoption and advance digital tax transformation.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Niraj Hutheesing, Founder & MD, Cygnet.One, said,
