DEEP ROBOTICS SHOWCASES FULL ROBOT LINEUP, INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS

KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Bernama) -- DEEP Robotics, a global embodied intelligence leader, displayed its full robot portfolio, six industrial solutions and two exclusive original robots at the 2026 WAIC in Shanghai, attracting strong interest from the heavy industry sector.

The company said in a statement that it showcased three core robot forms comprising humanoid, wheeled-legged and quadruped machines.

The newly launched Lynx S10 wheeled-legged robot weighs less than 20 kilogrammes, including its battery, and supports rapid single-person deployment. It can navigate narrow debris gaps inaccessible to larger equipment for lightweight rescue and scouting operations.

Meanwhile, the upgraded Lynx M20S, based on the Lynx M20 Pro, offers a higher payload, improved environmental protection and faster movement for industrial inspection, logistics and security patrols.

The company also unveiled the fully upgraded DR02, the world's first industrial-grade all-weather humanoid robot, which demonstrated boxing routines and controlled backflips during the event. It has passed substation precision operation tests and entered commercial deployment in 2026.

In addition, DEEP Robotics introduced two pioneering robots — the AI Flood-Fighting Warrior and the confined-space Reconnaissance and Communication Robot — as part of six sector solutions developed from more than 1,200 real-world scenarios.

The robots are designed to conduct hazard inspections, data transmission and search-and-rescue operations in flood, landslide and collapse zones while also replacing human rescuers in mines and tunnels by scouting environments, establishing emergency communication networks and detecting signs of life.

An interactive zone at the event allowed visitors to operate robot dogs and watch the Lynx S10 perform backflips, one-legged handstands and stair-climbing demonstrations.

The company said it leads the global quadruped robot market by industrial revenue and is partnering with organisations worldwide to accelerate the large-scale commercial deployment of robots under its embodied foundation model strategy.

Bitget Enhances Algorithmic Trading Experience with Siebly.io SDK Integration

VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 22 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), today announced a collaboration with Siebly.io, a provider of professional-grade API SDKs for algorithmic traders and developers, to simplify integration with Bitget’s V3 Unified Trading Account and V2 Classic APIs. The collaboration gives developers access to the Bitget SDK by Siebly, enabling faster, more reliable connectivity across Bitget’s spot, futures, copy trading, and real-time market data infrastructure.

Developers and algorithmic traders increasingly rely on stable API tooling to build, test, and deploy trading systems. However, fragmented API environments, inconsistent client libraries, and complex migration paths can slow down development and introduce operational risk. By working with Siebly, Bitget is helping developers reduce integration complexity while supporting both its new Unified Trading Account architecture and existing V2 Classic workflows.

Siebly.io provides ready-made developer tools that help trading teams connect to crypto exchanges without building every API connection from scratch. For developers and algorithmic traders, especially those built with JavaScript and TypeScript, they can connect to Bitget faster, reduce technical errors, and spend more time building trading strategies, bots, and market data tools instead of managing complex API integrations.

“UEX is about delivering a better trading experience for users and developers worldwide independent of the assets they trade,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Collaborating with Siebly makes it easier to build reliable tools across Bitget’s unified account architecture, helping traders spend less time on integration and more time building strategies on Bitget.”

Siebly’s SDKs provide comprehensive coverage across Bitget’s ecosystem, including spot trading, futures trading, copy trading, public market data streams, and private account management. For latency-sensitive strategies, the SDK also supports WebSocket API functionality, allowing developers to execute REST-like request-response patterns over a persistent connection and reduce request overhead without the added complexity of managing WebSockets manually.

The SDK also includes built-in support for HMAC, RSA, and Ed25519 authentication, helping developers securely interact with Bitget’s infrastructure while maintaining flexibility across different authentication standards. With consistent development patterns across supported exchanges, Siebly’s tooling is designed to help developers move between platforms with less friction and shorter implementation cycles.

“Developers building automated trading systems need SDKs that are consistent, secure, and tested in production environments,” said Tiago Siebler, Lead Developer at Siebly.io. “By collaborating with Bitget, we are making it easier for developers to integrate with one of the industry’s leading trading ecosystems.”

Bitget’s UEX framework is strengthened with this collaboration by improving the infrastructure layer that connects developers, trading systems, and Bitget’s unified account environment. By making API access more efficient across spot, futures, copy trading, and real-time data, Bitget continues to expand the tools available to retail and professional developers building the next generation of crypto trading applications.

AM Best Assigns Credit Ratings to MAAGAP Insurance Inc.

SINGAPORE, July 21 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- AM Best has assigned a Financial Strength Rating of B+ (Good), a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb-” (Good) and a Philippines National Scale Rating of aa.PH (Superior) to MAAGAP Insurance Inc. (MAAGAP) (Philippines). The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings reflect MAAGAP’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).

MAAGAP’s balance sheet strength assessment is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), which is expected to remain at the strongest level over the medium term. The company’s robust capital adequacy benefits in part from healthy earnings retention over recent years. In addition, MAAGAP has a low-to-moderate risk investment portfolio with the majority of investments allocated to Philippine government bonds and well-rated domestic corporate bonds. A partially offsetting balance sheet strength factor is MAAGAP’s elevated reinsurance reliance to support the underwriting of catastrophe-exposed business; however, this risk is partially mitigated by the fact that the majority of reinsurance recoverables are from counterparties of sound credit quality.

AM Best assesses MAAGAP’s operating performance as adequate, with a five-year average return-on-equity of 8.8% (fiscal-years 2021-2025). The company’s underwriting performance showed some volatility over the last five years, partly due to losses arising from natural catastrophes and large loss events. However, ongoing remedial measures have supported an improvement in underwriting results in fiscal year 2025. The elevated expense ratio recorded in recent periods is viewed as an offsetting factor. Prospectively, this is expected to improve as the company grows its book of business and benefits from greater economies of scale. Additionally, investment returns, derived mainly from interest income, are viewed to be stable and supportive of overall earnings.

AM Best views MAAGAP’s business profile as limited. The company is a non-life insurer domiciled in the Philippines, with a market share of approximately 2%, based on 2025 gross premiums written. Major lines of business include motor and property, which are subject to elevated market competition. Products are mainly distributed through agency and broker networks.

AM Best considers MAAGAP’s ERM to be developed and appropriate for the company’s risk profile and operational scope.

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 Launches Industry-First Cross-Asset Unified Account With 100 US Stock Tokens as Margin


VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 20 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched the industry's first Cross-Asset Unified Account (UTA), bringing more than 370 eligible assets—including 100 US stock tokens (rTokens)—into a single margin pool. The launch extends unified margin beyond crypto, allowing tokenized equities to function alongside digital assets within one account.

As crypto and traditional financial markets become increasingly connected, users expect assets to do more than represent ownership. The next stage of tokenization focuses on utility, allowing assets to support multiple financial activities from a single account. Bitget's Cross-Asset Unified Account advances that shift by integrating tokenized US equities into the same capital framework used for crypto trading.

The Cross-Asset Unified Account represents the third evolution of exchanges’ trading account architecture, with each stage focused on improving capital efficiency. The first generation isolated margin by asset and position, leaving capital fragmented across multiple accounts. The second unified multiple cryptocurrencies into a single margin pool, allowing one pool of collateral to support multiple crypto positions. The latest generation extends that framework beyond cryptocurrencies, bringing tokenized US stocks and other real-world assets into the same unified margin system. By giving RWAs the same status and utility as crypto, the Cross-Asset Unified Account allows eligible assets across different markets to work together within a single capital framework.

“Bringing stocks onchain is the first step but the real breakthrough comes when those assets can work with the same flexibility as crypto,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Capital efficiency is one of the principles behind UEX, and the Cross-Asset UTA puts that idea into practice. A stock position should be able to hold value, support another trade, or unlock liquidity instead of sitting in isolation.”

Eligible rTokens can now serve several purposes simultaneously. Users can maintain exposure to the underlying US equities, receive cash dividend distributions where applicable, use rTokens as margin for futures and margin trading, or pledge them as collateral to borrow stablecoins. The same asset can support multiple portfolio strategies without requiring users to exit their positions.

The initial rollout supports 100 tokenized US equities spanning leading US-listed companies, including rAAPL, rAMZN, rMETA, rTSLA, rGOOGL, rNVDA, rMSFT, rQQQ, rSPY, rJPM, rWMT, rV, and rMSTR, among others. Eligible collateral receives discount rates of up to 95%, subject to asset-specific tiers and holding size. Borrowing rates remain market-based and update hourly according to supply and demand.

The Cross-Asset Unified Account builds on the rapid expansion of Bitget's tokenized equities ecosystem. Since the launch of the licensed RWA protocol Reality, rToken, the RWA asset issued by Reality, has surpassed $100 million in assets under management within its first month, while generating more than $671 million in cumulative trading volume. By bringing tokenized equities into the same capital framework as crypto assets, Bitget is extending their role beyond market access to capital deployment, allowing users to trade, borrow, and manage global assets more efficiently through a single account.

Bitget plans to continue expanding the range of assets supported within the Cross-Asset Unified Account as the Universal Exchange evolves to connect crypto and traditional financial markets through a single trading experience.
