TAIPEI, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Unitas Foundation announced today that the second phase of Unitas Protocol is now live on the mainnet. This phase introduced insurance providers (IPs) who will lend their USDT to the Unitas Protocol to support its over-collateralization. Concurrently, the 4REX tokenomics system has begun its operations, including auctions, profit sharing, and IP-related benefits.

“This milestone completed the first iteration of the Unitas stablecoin ecosystem— a  USDT-backed unitized stablecoin mechanism,” said Sun Huang, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Unitas Foundation. “Now, anyone can ‘unitize’ USDT into one local currency unit, including USD91 (INR-pegged), USD971 (AED-pegged), USD84 (VND-pegged), and USD1 (USD-pegged) with the over-collateralization provided by IPs.”

The concept of reserving USDT as a store of value while dealing in the local unit of account is designed to address dollar shortages in emerging markets, improving both transactions and cross-border payments.

“We are thrilled to complete the USDT-reserved Unitas system,” said Wayne Huang, Co-Founder and Board Director of Unitas Foundation. “The real-world applications in developing countries will be the main focus of the next stage. Meanwhile, our team is building the second Unitas ecosystem which will be backed by Tether Gold (XAUt). The transition from USD to Gold represents an exciting development for the stablecoin movement, and we are pleased to collaborate with Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer on this project.”

Unitas Foundation, Tether, and XREX Group, a blockchain-enabled financial institution, will work together to launch XAU1, a USD-pegged unitized stablecoin over-reserved with XAUt, providing customers with a stable alternative and a hedge against inflation.

vantage-markets-named-leading-broker-in-investing.com’s-latest-rankings-for-2024-during-the-us-election-period

SYDNEY, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Vantage Markets (or “Vantage”), an award-winning multi-asset broker, has once again solidified its reputation for excellence, outperforming competitors across multiple key categories in Investing.com’s latest brokerage test.

Investing.com, one of the world’s leading financial publishers, provides real-time financial news, analysis, and data, serving over 60 million monthly users across global markets. Its brokerage tests are highly regarded in the industry, offering comprehensive insights into broker performance based on rigorous evaluation criteria.

In this latest assessment, the test evaluated multiple key metrics, including leverage, spread value, spread stability, no-slippage rate, market depth, large order cost, and swap competitiveness, conducted during one of the most volatile periods – the U.S. elections—with test data focused on the product movement of Gold (XAUUSD).

Leverage
Vantage excelled in providing flexible, highly competitive leverage of up to 1:2000 (in selected regions), granting traders access to powerful financial instruments with a range of options tailored to their trading needs. This balance of flexibility and control is essential to Vantage’s philosophy of empowering traders with tools that support intelligent risk management.

Spread Value and Spread Stability
Based on ECN account data, the test highlighted Vantage’s exceptionally low spread values at 9.1 as compared to other brokers, offering traders cost-effective access to the markets. Furthermore, spread stability consistently held within a range of 8-9 points, a critical factor during market turbulence. This stability reflects Vantage’s robust infrastructure and dedication to providing reliable trading conditions regardless of market fluctuations.

Vantage demonstrated an unmatched 79% no-slippage execution rate on STP accounts, showcasing its ability to minimise the disparity between requested and executed prices.  By reducing unexpected deviations, Vantage ensures that traders’ strategies remain intact without unexpected deviations, enhancing trust and transparency in trade execution.

Market Depth
In a rigorous test of order placements during high-volatility news events, Vantage exhibited unparalleled market depth, handling large lot sizes with minimal slippage. This level of market depth and stability reflects the strength of Vantage’s liquidity network, providing traders with a seamless experience even during peak market activity.

Large Order Cost
During the high-volatility US Election period, Vantage excelled with a larger order cost of -26.6, offering competitive pricing and minimising trading expenses for large transactions. This is at the back of Vantage’s commitment to ensure that traders enjoy cost-efficiency even in dynamic and fast-moving markets.

Swap Competitiveness
Vantage continues to deliver value with industry-leading swap rates, offering -30.8 for long positions and 22 for short positions. Known for offering some of the industry’s best swap rates, Vantage ranks highly with advantageous rates on both sides of the market, providing  traders added value, especially for long-term positions.
