DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the leading global financial centre in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region, witnessed unparalleled growth in the first half of 2023. DIFC’s performance reaffirms its efforts in driving the future of finance as the region’s growth catalyst for financial institutions, FinTech firms and Innovation companies.

 

 

A total of 661 new entities registered during the first half of this year, representing a double digit (23 per cent) year-on-year increase. The total number of companies operating in DIFC has risen from 4,031 to 4,949 at the end of June 2023, a year-on-year increase of 23 per cent. Reflecting DIFC’s growing reputation as a global hub for FinTech and Innovation, the number of firms in those sectors grew from 599 to 811 year-on-year, up 35 per cent.  

Company growth has led to a strong increase in job creation, up 20 per cent year-on-year to 3,057, bringing the total workforce in DIFC to 39,140 individuals in line with DIFC’s 2030 Strategy, further strengthening Dubai’s position as a global hub for world-class talent.

The strong inflow of top firms underscores Dubai’s attractiveness as a global business hub and reaffirms DIFC’s world-class reputation that continues to attract companies from around the world. The inflow of hedge funds continued in H1 2023, leveraging DIFC’s eco-system of over 300 Wealth and Asset Management firms, and progressive global centre for alternative investments. Amongst its 4,949 entities, DIFC is currently home to 17 of the world’s top 20 banks, 25 of the world’s top 30 global systemically important banks, five of the top 10 insurance companies, five of the top 10 asset managers, and many leading global law and consulting firms.

Recognising Dubai’s progress within the industry, the spring 2023 edition of Global Financial Centres Index, categorised the city as one of only ten financial centres in the world as a global leader with broad and deep capabilities. Dubai is the only financial centre in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia region to be awarded this classification. www.difc.ae

Institutions Have Doubled their Bitcoin Allocations this Year, New Bybit Report Shows

Published

on

institutions-have-doubled-their-bitcoin-allocations-this-year,-new-bybit-report-shows

DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s third-largest crypto exchange by volume, has released new research offering analysis of how traders adapt their strategies in fluctuating market conditions. “Navigating Bull and Bear Markets — A Dive Into Asset Allocation,” uses Bybit’s proprietary data and is the first initiated by a crypto exchange.

The report provides a detailed examination of asset allocation strategies employed by different cohorts — institutions, VIPs, and retail traders — especially in the volatile market environment since December 2022.

Key findings include:

  • Institutional Investors: Predominantly holding 45% in stablecoins, 35% in Bitcoin, and 15% in Ether, institutions emphasize liquidity and strategic diversification. Notably, their Bitcoin holdings nearly doubled in the first three quarters of 2023.
  • Ether Trends: A decline in institutional interest in Ether has been noted, although upcoming market developments, like the rumored BlackRock spot Ether ETF, could shift the trend.
  • Retail Trader Behavior: Retail traders are observed to hold more stablecoins, suggesting a more cautious allocation to riskier assets compared to traditional finance norms.
  • Altcoin Investments: Both retail and VIP traders show higher altcoin holdings than institutional investors, although these remain a minor part of total portfolios, indicating caution, perhaps due to a hangover from the recent bear market.

“This report is a testament to Bybit’s commitment to empowering our users with actionable insights,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO. “Understanding how different market participants navigate the complexities of bull and bear markets is crucial. We believe this research will not only enlighten our traders but also contribute to the broader crypto community’s understanding of market dynamics.”

Bitget Wallet Integrates TON Mainnet, Prepares for TON and Telegram-Based Innovative Products

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The leading Web3 trading wallet, Bitget Wallet (formerly known as BitKeep Wallet), now supports TON (The Open Network). TON, a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain, was initially designed by the Telegram team and later advanced by the community.

The TON integration allows users to add the TON network with a single click, manage assets, and perform on-chain transactions. Looking ahead, Bitget Wallet plans to further expand its services to include support for TON ecosystem DApps, token trading, and candlestick chart features. Additionally, Bitget Wallet is set to launch innovative products and services based on TON and Telegram, such as the Telegram Red Packet feature.

TON, with its Telegram-originated blockchain solution, is designed for high scalability, targeting millions of transactions per second (TPS) to serve Telegram’s extensive user base. This performance capability positions TON as a pivotal player in the evolving digital landscape. By building a Web3 ecosystem within Telegram, TON is committed to bridging Web2 and Web3, promoting the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies and decentralized technologies.

Bitget Wallet’s support for TON reflects a recognition of its innovation and anticipation of Telegram’s user base venturing into Web3. This aligns with Bitget Wallet’s ongoing commitment to providing convenient, user-friendly product experiences and opening the doors to Web3 for its users.

To date, Bitget Wallet has served over 12 million users worldwide, becoming one of the most popular crypto hot wallets globally, with its app ranking fourth in global downloads in October. The integration with the TON mainnet is also expected to enhance the liquidity and user base of the TON network.

About Bitget Wallet (Web3 trading wallet)

Formerly known as BitKeep, Bitget Wallet stands as Asia’s largest and global frontrunner among all-in-one Web3 trading wallets. We offer a comprehensive range of on-chain products and DeFi services to our users, including wallet functionality, Swap feature, NFT trading, DApp browsing, MPC Wallet and more.

With a 5-year legacy, Bitget Wallet has garnered acclaim from over 12 million users worldwide and has secured partnerships with prominent industry leaders including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Polygon, Solana, Base, and others. This success stems from our commitment to consistently delivering secure and convenient products and services.

In March 2023, Bitget, a leading crypto derivatives trading platform made a substantial $30 million investment in BitKeep, acquiring a controlling stake. Following this strategic move, BitKeep underwent a transformative and strategic brand evolution in August, officially rebranding itself as Bitget Wallet.
