Partners will jointly develop tailored coverage for driverless operations and streamline insurance protocols as deployments scale.
This program further expands WeRide’s global partnership ecosystem across OEMs, mobility platforms, fleet operators, infrastructure and insurance providers.

GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WeRide (NASDAQ: WRD, HKEX: 0800), a global leader in autonomous driving technology, today announced the launch of its global insurance partnership program to support the expansion of autonomous driving services worldwide, spanning existing deployments in China, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, as well as upcoming launches in broader Europe.

WeRide has established its global insurance partnership program with Allianz Insurance Singapore Pte. Ltd. (“Allianz”) and Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance Company of China, Ltd. (“Ping An P&C Insurance”) as inaugural partners. The program brings together leading insurance expertise across international and Chinese markets with WeRide’s advanced autonomous driving technology and operational experience. A critical foundation for real-world autonomous vehicle deployment, the global insurance program is designed to support WeRide’s global expansion across diverse regulatory and operating environments.

Under this strategic initiative, WeRide and its partners will co-develop tailored insurance solutions covering the full lifecycle of L4 vehicle operations, including motor liability, commercial general and product liability, and privacy and cybersecurity risks, in accordance with local requirements. Over time, long-term partnerships, centralized insurance programs and greater fleet scale are expected to improve insurance efficiency and support stronger unit economics.

Real-world operations and insurance risk-management practices demonstrate the strong safety performance of WeRide’s Robotaxis. Its technological strengths in risk detection, driving decisions and safety control continue to advance, offering a promising approach to addressing the uncertainties of human driving and improving road safety.

Beyond providing risk protection, insurance plays an important role in enabling autonomous driving to scale safely and commercially. WeRide’s operational experience and track record across diverse markets provide a strong foundation for collaboration with insurance partners as the company expands its driverless services.

Allianz Insurance Singapore is the third-largest motor insurer in Singapore by gross written premiums as of Q2 2026 and a major insurance partner for WeRide’s autonomous vehicle operations in Singapore. Allianz was the first insurer in Singapore to insure a fully driverless autonomous vehicle through WeRide’s Robobus service at Sentosa. Allianz subsequently expanded coverage to WeRide Robotaxis deployed with Grab as part of the Ai.R autonomous shuttle service in Punggol. As of October 2026, the Ai.R autonomous shuttle service had served more than 13,000 unique riders and accumulated over 135,000 kilometers of autonomous mileage.

WeRide and Ping An P&C Insurance, one of the largest property and casualty insurance companies in China, have developed locally compliant insurance solutions supporting Robotaxi operations in China and the Middle East. These include four of WeRide’s flagship driverless commercial markets globally, including Beijing, Guangzhou, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai, where WeRide has achieved scaled driverless operations. The partnership supports WeRide’s Robotaxi deployments in China and the Middle East, including services provided through WeRide Go and third-party mobility platforms such as Uber and TXAI.

Jennifer Li, CFO and Head of International at WeRide, said: “Our partnerships with leading insurers reflect the strength of WeRide’s technology. Insurance is a critical part of the infrastructure needed to bring autonomous driving to scale globally, and this program strengthens that foundation as we expand into more markets.”

Ong Bi Ying, Chief Executive Officer at Allianz Insurance Singapore, said: “As the first insurer in Singapore to cover a fully driverless autonomous vehicle, Allianz has been at the forefront of understanding and managing the unique risks that come with this transformative technology. Our partnership with WeRide reflects our commitment to enabling innovation responsibly. By co-developing insurance solutions tailored to autonomous vehicle operations, we are helping to build the trust and safety infrastructure that Singapore’s smart mobility future demands. We look forward to deepening this collaboration as autonomous driving scales across the region.”

Hequn Shi, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Ping An P&C Insurance, stated: “As China’s autonomous driving industry goes global, there is an urgent need for matching globalized insurance coverage. This collaboration represents an important practice for Ping An P&C Insurance to support the outbound expansion of China’s autonomous driving industry through its ‘technology + insurance’ services. We aim to leverage insurance’s role in risk identification, loss compensation, and risk mitigation, helping China’s autonomous driving technology achieve safe and steady commercial operations in global markets.”

WeRide currently operates one of the world’s largest autonomous driving fleets, with approximately 3,600 autonomous vehicles globally, including more than 1,800 Robotaxis, across 13 countries and over 60 cities.

Looking ahead, WeRide plans to expand the program to more markets and insurance partners, while exploring tailored approaches to insurance protocols, pricing and coverage models for autonomous vehicles.

‫ریسو نے نئی کوم کلر جی این سیریز متعارف کرا دی، تیز رفتار انک جیٹ پرنٹرز ایک منٹ میں 180 صفحات تک پرنٹ کرنے کی صلاحیت رکھتے ہیں

Asianet Pakistan — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 08:27:41 +0000

ٹوکیو، 27 اکتوبر 2026 (کیوڈو جے بی این): جاپانی کمپنی ریسو کاگاکو کارپوریشن ( RISO KAGAKU CORPORATION ) نے انتہائی تیز رفتار، مکمل رنگین انک جیٹ پرنٹرز کی نئی سیریز ComColor GN متعارف کرانے کا اعلان کیا ہے۔ یہ جدید سیریز خصوصی طور پر بلوں اور انوائسز جیسی کاروباری دستاویزات، ہدایت ناموں اور لفافوں میں بھیجی جانے والی ڈاک کی بڑے پیمانے پر پرنٹنگ کے لیے تیار کی گئی ہے جبکہ اضافی ماڈیولر سہولیات کے ذریعے مختلف ضروریات پوری کی جا سکتی ہیں۔ اس نئی سیریز میں ریسو کی مخصوص حرارت کے بغیر کام کرنے والی، آئل بیسڈ پگمنٹ اِنک ٹیکنالوجی استعمال کی گئی ہے، جو پرنٹنگ کے معیار اور ماحولیاتی پائیداری پر سمجھوتہ کیے بغیر پیداواری صلاحیت میں اضافہ کرتی ہے۔

1۔ تیز رفتار پرنٹنگ اور جدید ہیٹ لیس انک جیٹ ٹیکنالوجی

اس سیریز کا نمایاں ماڈل ComColor GN9830 یک طرفہ پرنٹنگ میں فی منٹ 180 صفحات تک پرنٹ کرنے کی صلاحیت کا حامل ہے ( ٭ ) ،

جو کمپنی کے مطابق دنیا کی نمایاں ترین رفتاروں میں سے ایک ہے۔ پرنٹر میں نصب مستقل اور ایک ہی لائن میں ترتیب دیے گئے پرنٹ ہیڈز کاغذ کی مسلسل اور ہموار ترسیل کو یقینی بناتے ہیں۔ اس کے علاوہ بہتر اسٹارٹ اَپ، صفائی اور سلیپ موڈ سے دوبارہ فعال ہونے کا نظام، اختیاری تیز رفتار اسکیننگ کے ساتھ مل کر پرنٹنگ کے مجموعی عمل کو نمایاں طور پر تیز کرتا ہے۔

ریسو کی مخصوص آئل بیسڈ پگمنٹ اِنک ٹیکنالوجی میں پرنٹنگ کے دوران حرارت استعمال نہیں ہوتی۔ روایتی لیزر پرنٹرز کے برعکس، جو حرارت اور دباؤ کے ذریعے پرنٹنگ کرتے ہیں، یہ ٹیکنالوجی کاغذ کو مڑنے یا بل کھانے سے محفوظ رکھتی ہے۔ اس خصوصیت کے باعث کاغذ ہموار رہتا ہے، دونوں جانب پرنٹنگ زیادہ مستحکم ہوتی ہے اور پرنٹنگ کے بعد کاغذات کی خودکار ترتیب، اسٹیپلنگ اور کتابچوں کی جلد بندی جیسے مراحل آسانی سے انجام دیے جا سکتے ہیں۔

2۔ بہتر رنگین معیار اور مختلف اقسام کے کاغذ پر پرنٹنگ

نئی تیار کردہ سیاہی اور جدید پرنٹ ہیڈز کی بدولت رنگوں کی وسعت اور گہرائی میں اضافہ کیا گیا ہے، جس سے زیادہ واضح، شوخ اور معیاری رنگین پرنٹنگ ممکن ہوتی ہے۔ کاغذ کی بہتر ترسیل اور سیاہی کے درست استعمال سے مختلف اقسام کے کاغذ، بشمول لفافوں اور پوسٹ کارڈز، پر اعلیٰ معیار کی پرنٹنگ حاصل کی جا سکتی ہے۔ اس ٹیکنالوجی کی مدد سے تصاویر زیادہ واضح، بارکوڈز زیادہ صاف اور باریک تحریر بھی نمایاں اور پیشہ ورانہ معیار کے مطابق پرنٹ ہوتی ہے۔

3۔ ماحول دوست ٹیکنالوجی اور توانائی کی بچت

حرارت کے بغیر پرنٹنگ کا جدید نظام ہفتہ وار بجلی کی کھپت ( TEC ویلیو) میں کمی لاتا ہے، جس سے توانائی کا مؤثر استعمال یقینی بنایا جاتا ہے۔ پرنٹر کے مرکزی یونٹ میں 15 فیصد ری سائیکل شدہ پلاسٹک ریزن استعمال کیا گیا ہے، جو گزشتہ ماڈلز کے مقابلے میں تین گنا زیادہ ہے۔ اس سے پرنٹر کی پوری مدتِ استعمال کے دوران کاربن کے اخراج میں کمی آتی ہے۔ اس کے علاوہ، صارفین پرنٹر کی رنگین ٹچ اسکرین پر کاربن ڈائی آکسائیڈ کے اخراج میں ہونے والی تخمینی کمی کی معلومات بھی براہِ راست دیکھ سکتے ہیں۔

مصنوعات کی معلومات سے متعلق نوٹ

مصنوعات کے نام، تکنیکی خصوصیات اور مارکیٹ میں دستیابی کی تاریخیں مختلف ممالک اور خطوں میں مختلف ہو سکتی ہیں۔ متعلقہ ملک میں مصنوعات کی تفصیلی خصوصیات اور دستیابی کے بارے میں معلومات کے لیے ریسو کے مقامی سیلز دفاتر یا ڈسٹری بیوٹرز سے رابطہ کیا جا سکتا ہے ( ٭ ) یہ سہولت ComColor GN9830 ماڈل میں دستیاب ہے۔ اس کی پرنٹنگ کی رفتار A4 سائز کے کاغذ کو لمبے کنارے کی جانب سے فیڈ کرنے، یک طرفہ ( Simplex ) مسلسل پرنٹنگ، معیاری سیاہی کی کثافت ( Standard Density ) کی سیٹنگ اور Face Down Tray کے استعمال کی بنیاد پر حاصل کی گئی ہے۔ یہ دعویٰ اپریل 2026 تک تجارتی طور پر دستیاب، علیحدہ کاغذی شیٹس ( Cut Sheets ) استعمال کرنے والے دفتری رنگین پرنٹرز کے تقابلی اعداد و شمار پر مبنی ہے۔(ماخذ: ڈیٹا سپلائی انک)

Political Uncertainty Fuels Demand for Additional Residence and Citizenship Rights

Asianet Pakistan — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 07:56:46 +0000

LONDON, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New data shows a rising interest in additional residence and citizenship rights among wealthy families in some of the world’s most established countries, as political, regulatory and social volatility sharpens the focus on resilience and future optionality.

Drawing on activity across more than 70 offices worldwide, Henley & Partners has assisted clients from over 100 nationalities across more than 50 residence and citizenship country options so far this year. More than a third of applicants already live outside their country of origin, underscoring how internationalised the client base has now become.

Global enquiries have picked up noticeably in recent months, against a backdrop of protests and political tensions across Europe and a concentrated period of consequential elections in Brazil, Spain, Serbia, Israel and the United States, sharpening the focus on future political, fiscal and economic direction.

Established democracies emerge as major source markets

The changing geography of demand is particularly striking. US nationals remain Henley & Partners’ largest source nationality, while the UK ranks 6^th and Germany 10^th. France has risen from 36^th to 14^th among source nationalities, and Australia and Canada are also now in the top 15 — highlighting the growing prominence of clients from highly developed economies who already enjoy considerable international mobility.

Applications from French nationals were already close to matching the full-year 2025 figure by the end of Q3, while Italian applications had surpassed last year’s level. Enquiries from France rose 24% between Q2 and Q3, while Italian enquiries increased 14%.

The US trend remains the most pronounced: applications from Americans have risen 52% over the past 18 months compared with the preceding 18-month period, yet only 9% of US applicants actually reside outside of the US. Brazil is also showing acceleration from a smaller base, with Q3 applications equalling those recorded across the first two quarters of 2026 combined.

Dr. Juerg Steffen, CEO of Henley & Partners, says these patterns are less about conventional relocation and more of a broader shift towards jurisdictional diversification. “Volatility has a way of concentrating minds. Families have long understood the value of diversifying their investments; increasingly, they are applying the same principle to where they have the right to live, work and build their lives. A sovereign portfolio brings together multiple complementary residence and citizenship rights, investments and personal ties across different countries. No family can predict the next political, social or economic shock. But they can choose not to have every aspect of their future tied to a single jurisdiction.”

Families build a broader international footprint

According to Henley & Partners’ latest client data, US nationals have applied for 27 different residence and citizenship country options in 2026 across Europe, the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. French and Italian applicants are similarly securing access rights to multiple jurisdictions rather than converging on a single alternative destination. Half of Italian applicants still reside in Italy, while most French applicants already live outside of France.

Italy also illustrates the increasingly two-way nature of these flows. Applications for the Italy Investor Visa Program had already matched the whole of 2025 by the end of Q3, with US nationals accounting for approximately one third of applicants.

Dominic Volek, Group Head of Private Clients at Henley & Partners, says: “This is increasingly less about a binary decision to stay or leave. Families are looking across jurisdictions and asking what rights and options they should have if circumstances change. For many, acquiring additional residence or citizenship is about preserving choice before it is needed, rather than planning an immediate relocation.”

The changing geography of demand and the relationship between political uncertainty, global wealth and residence and citizenship planning will be among the themes explored at Henley & Partners’ 20th Global Citizenship Conference, taking place at The Dolder Grand in Zurich from 23–25 November 2026.

Lira Clinical Announces New REGEN Line — A First-of-Its-Kind Breakthrough in Regenerative Skincare

Asianet Pakistan — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 05:18:42 +0000

Lira Clinical REGEN PDRN+ Crème and Serum

Lira Clinical’s groundbreaking new REGEN line with Marine Cellular Complex delivers dramatic results, improving skin texture and reducing signs of aging as well as chronic skin conditions like rosacea, acne, and hyperpigmentation in just weeks.

LIVERMORE, Calif., Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lira Clinical, a global leader in corrective and brightening skincare, is proud to announce the launch of its groundbreaking new REGEN line. REGEN is the first and only clinical skincare line formulated with Wild Salmon Stem Cell–Conditioned Media — a revolutionary ingredient that delivers more regenerative power than PDRN alone.

Developed in collaboration with Wildtype, the REGEN line is a major breakthrough in PROAging skincare and the emerging category of Clinical Brightening. The REGEN line’s exclusive combination of Wild Salmon Stem Cell-CM (aka Marine Cellular Complex), PDRN, and Copper Tripeptide-1 promotes healthier, brighter skin from the inside out by supporting the key drivers of skin health: hydration, circulation, and firmness.

REGEN’s unique benefits are delivered deep into the skin by Lira Clinical’s proprietary EXO-tech phospholipid encapsulation technology, which carries active ingredients through the acid mantle without compromising their efficacy or damaging the skin’s protective barrier.

Wild Salmon Stem Cell–CM: A Full-Spectrum Regenerative Approach to Skincare

Wild Salmon Stem Cell–Conditioned Media, aka Marine Cellular Complex (MCC), is a next-generation regenerative complex containing nearly 2,000 different bioactive growth factors, salmon-derived exosomes, thousands of peptides, antioxidants, and stem cells that promote collagen repair and structural support while visibly reducing redness and inflammation.

Lira Clinical’s REGEN Line is the first to introduce this innovation and its benefits to the global aesthetic market.

“Lira Clinical’s core values have always been about real people, real results, with more clinical studies to come. PDRN is a buzzword now, but Lira is the first company to introduce wild salmon stem cell–conditioned media that now goes beyond the benefits of PDRN. We were able to formulate both a serum and a creme for in-clinic and home treatments.”

Metaxia Dalikas, co-founder and CEO, Lira Clinical

The REGEN Line

Lira Clinical’s REGEN line is available in two formats:

REGEN PDRN+ Serum – the first and only serum in the clinical market to combine Wild Salmon Stem Cell–CM with PDRN and Copper Tripeptide-1, delivering more regenerative power than PDRN alone to rebuild skin from within

REGEN PDRN+ Crème – a volumizing formulation that restores skin density, improves structure, and extends Clinical Brightening benefits by improving hydration, circulation, and firmness

Availability

The REGEN line is available through Lira Clinical’s professional channels and international distributors worldwide.

Clinical Brightening: Beyond Surface Correction

Unlike traditional brightening skincare that corrects dark spots and dull, uneven, tired-looking skin at the surface, Clinical Brightening addresses their underlying causes, supporting the skin’s natural renewal process to improve hydration, circulation, and firmness. The result is skin that immediately looks brighter, smoother, healthier, and more alive.

Lira Clinical Skincare: Real People. Real Results.

A global leader at the forefront of skincare innovation, Lira Clinical was founded by four renowned skincare professionals dedicated to providing real results for real people, in the form of brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin. Lira Clinical’s core philosophy, Science Discovering Nature’s Secrets, reflects the company’s deep understanding of how modern biotechnology can unlock the regenerative potential found in nature to treat skin conditions and improve skin health.

Wildtype: Defending the Earth’s Wild Places

Wildtype, the San Francisco–based cultivated seafood company, is now expanding into skincare with its Marine Cellular Complex (MCC), a novel, animal-free, ocean-positive skincare science product.

Marine Cellular Complex is made from 15,540 peptides and 5,105 proteins grown from salmon cells, not actual salmon. The process is animal-free and ocean-positive, meaning it doesn’t harm wild fish populations. The complex contains a rich blend of proteins, lipids, antioxidants, salmon-derived exosomes, collagen, elastin, and other bioactive molecules that are known for their skin-benefiting properties.

YYForce Applauds Tesla and Elon Musk on Commencing Manufacturing of Optimus Humanoid Robots

Asianet Pakistan — Mon, 26 Oct 2026 13:38:42 +0000

Milestone marks a pivotal inflection point for the global robotics and physical AI ecosystem, reinforcing the acceleration of next-generation automation

SINGAPORE, Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — YYForce Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) (“YYForce” or the “Company”), a technology-enabled provider of workforce solutions, integrated facility management and robotics services, today congratulated Tesla, Inc. and Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk following Tesla’s announcement that production of its Optimus humanoid robot had begun in Fremont, California.

YYForce views the announcement as an important development for the broader physical AI ecosystem as humanoid robotics progresses toward real-world applications. Tesla described its California Optimus manufacturing operations as being in an early ramp phase, with hardware and manufacturing processes continuing to evolve.

Against this industry backdrop, YYForce announced plans to deploy its first humanoid robot at Novotel Singapore on Stevens in early November 2026, advancing the Company’s efforts to evaluate humanoid robotics in hospitality operations.

“Elon Musk and the Tesla team continue to push the boundaries of robotics and autonomous systems,” said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YYForce. “We applaud this manufacturing milestone and believe progress across the industry can help accelerate the development of practical humanoid applications. At YYForce, our focus is on connecting advances in robotics with real operating environments, customer needs and frontline workforce experience.”

Advancing Humanoid Robotics in Hospitality

YYForce’s planned Novotel deployment is intended to support on-site testing, workflow assessment and evaluation of human–robot collaboration. The initial phase will help the Company assess suitable hospitality applications, integration requirements, staff training needs and operational performance.

The scope and pace of deployment activities will depend on technical readiness, site requirements and results from the initial evaluation. YYForce intends to use these findings to guide further development and potential expansion.

“Our first planned humanoid deployment at Novotel Singapore on Stevens represents a concrete step in our physical AI strategy,” added Mike Fu. “We aim to understand where humanoid robots can perform reliably, how they can support employees, and what is required to deliver measurable value to hospitality customers.”

Building Capabilities for Enterprise Adoption

EarthDaily Awarded $3 Million NASA Task Order to Advance Commercial Earth Observation Integration with Landsat

Asianet Pakistan — Mon, 26 Oct 2026 10:51:10 +0000

NASA and USGS will compare EarthDaily Constellation data with Landsat observations and evaluate its potential to support AI-ready products and future hybrid government-commercial mission architectures

MAPLE GROVE, Minn., Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EarthDaily today announced that it has been awarded a $3 million task order by NASA to provide EarthDaily Constellation data and technical support for NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to evaluate new approaches for incorporating commercial capabilities into federal land imaging programs.

The task order supports the Sustainable Land Imaging (SLI) commercial transition initiative, a joint NASA-USGS effort examining how commercial Earth observation data can complement government systems while meeting the scientific quality and continuity needs of the Landsat record.

Under the contract, NASA and USGS will evaluate EarthDaily Constellation data against Landsat standards and requirements, including data quality, calibration, stability, radiometric and geometric performance, harmonizability, and fitness for purpose. The work will also examine how commercial observations can support the development of AI-ready Earth observation products designed for modern data processing and machine-learning workflows.

“Landsat has created an extraordinary scientific record of how our planet is changing, built on decades of consistent and trusted measurement,” said Don Osborne, Chief Executive Officer of EarthDaily. “EarthDaily was built around the same fundamental idea: to understand change, you first need measurements you can trust and compare over time. As Earth observation increasingly becomes an input to AI, that consistency becomes even more important. This work gives us the opportunity to collaborate with NASA and USGS to demonstrate how science-grade, AI-ready commercial observations can complement the Landsat record and help extend trusted measurement into the future.”

The EarthDaily Constellation was designed specifically to measure change consistently over time. Eight of its 10 satellites are now in orbit, and cover 100% of Earth’s landmass every two days. At full operations the constellation will image about 92% of Earth’s landmass every day, excluding Antarctica. A sun-synchronous orbit supports consistent morning acquisitions, with equatorial crossing times of around 10:30 a.m. local time, while a 240 km swath enables systematic coverage across large areas. Its coordinated imaging systems collect data across 22 spectral bands spanning visible, near-infrared, short-wave infrared, and thermal wavelengths, using sensor technologies suited to each part of the spectrum. Native spatial resolution is 5 m in the visible and near-infrared, 95 m in the short-wave infrared and 120 m in the thermal infrared, with no sharpening applied to create apparent detail. Dedicated water-vapor and cirrus bands support atmospheric correction and cloud identification. Together, these design choices produce science-grade, analysis-ready observations that can be compared directly from one collection to the next.

The evaluation will assess how these capabilities could complement Landsat by adding more frequent observations, helping users who need consistent measurements of change between acquisitions.

That measurement foundation is also essential for AI applications. The work aligns with NASA’s broader efforts to expand the use of super intelligence in scientific research and the analysis of complex datasets. EarthDaily’s consistently calibrated, standardized observations give models a stable basis for detecting meaningful change. That includes Earth observation foundation models trained on decades of Landsat imagery, as well as reanalysis and forecasting applications. Observations that can be harmonized with the Landsat archive could extend those records forward with more frequent measurements. EarthDaily will work with NASA and USGS on experiments involving data evaluation, workflow demonstration, product evaluation and validation, standardized data structures, and uncertainty characterization. The work will also test EarthDaily data alongside Landsat and other reference missions and within USGS Analysis Ready Data and NASA Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 processing workflows.

The evaluation will examine whether EarthDaily data can support Landsat-grade surface reflectance and surface temperature. It will also assess compatibility with long-term land imaging records and the potential for commercial observations to increase revisit frequency and improve spatial resolution when combined with government Earth observation systems.

Throughout the evaluation, EarthDaily scientists and technical teams will work with NASA and USGS scientific and program leads through regular technical exchanges on data quality, cross-calibration, algorithms, product specifications, processing workflows and data integration. Findings will be reviewed jointly as the work progresses and used to refine products and documentation. The work will help identify and refine the requirements commercial capabilities and derived data products would need to meet for harmonization with the Landsat archive.

Demonstrating that EarthDaily data meet Landsat-aligned performance thresholds and provide sufficient value, is a first toward hybrid mission architectures that combine government and commercial assets.

EarthDaily is committed to working with NASA and USGS on approaches that preserve what has made Landsat invaluable: a continuous, more than 50-year record that is freely and openly available to users worldwide.

Bitget Upgrades Stock Dual Investment with VETA Finance for Tokenized U.S. Equities

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has upgraded Stock Dual Investment, expanding its structured investment offerings to tokenized U.S. Equities through a partnership with VETA Finance. The launch introduces new stock-linked underlying assets and maturity options, allowing users to earn fixed-term yields while executing predefined strategies based on market conditions.

Stock Dual Investment lets users earn yield on USDT or eligible tokenized U.S. Equities over a fixed investment period, with settlement determined by a predefined target price and the assets’s market performance at maturity. Current underlying assets include rNVDA, rGOOGL and rAMD, providing exposure to tokenized equities linked to NVIDIA, Alphabet, and AMD.

Buy Low allows users to subscribe with USDT and pick a target price for an eligible rToken. If the settlement price at maturity is at or below the target price, the investment is converted into the corresponding rToken at the predetermined price. Otherwise, users receive their principal and accrued yield in USDT. This strategy is designed for users looking to accumulate tokenized equities at a chosen price while earning yield during the investment period.

Sell High allows users to subscribe with an eligible rToken and pick a target price to sell. If the settlement price at maturity is at or above the target price, the investment is converted into USDT at a predetermined price. Otherwise, users retain their rToken principal and receive the applicable yield. This strategy is designed for holders waiting to sell at a selected price while earning yield on their existing positions.

“Investors often have a price in mind at which they would buy more or take profits. Stock Dual Investment, lets them earn yield while working toward those targets.That is our UEX vision of bringing crypto and traditional assets together with more ways to put them to work,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

This product is offered in partnership with VETA Finance, a structured-product infrastructure provider focused on digital assets and tokenized markets. Since 2022, VETA Finance has provided end-to-end solutions for trading platforms, asset managers, and wealth-management providers, spanning product structuring, pricing, hedging, execution, and settlement.

Daniel Yu, Founder of VETA Finance, said: “Tokenization solved how equities get on-chain. Structured products solve how those assets are retained and how they generate yield. We are delighted to join Bitget’s rToken ecosystem as a first-batch quoting vendor and bring the pricing, hedging and lifecycle management capabilities we have built in crypto structured products to tokenized US stocks in full. Dual Investment is only the first step. Together with Bitget, we intend to turn every tokenized US stock into a complete product line.”

By extending Dual Investment to tokenized U.S equities, Bitget is bringing structured investment strategies traditionally associated with financial markets into its unified digital ecosystem. Users can deploy stablecoins or eligible rTokens through a single platform, creating additional opportunities to manage their exposure to tokenized equities without navigating separate trading environments. The launch further advances Bitget’s Universal Exchange vision by expanding how users can access and utilize both crypto and tokenized traditional financial assets.
