Acuity Knowledge Partners firmiert zu Acuity Analytics um und startet neue Website

LONDON und NEW YORK, Dec. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Acuity Knowledge Partners gab heute seine Umfirmierung in Acuity Analytics bekannt, den neuen Handelsnamen des Unternehmens. Dieses Rebranding spiegelt die Entwicklung des Unternehmens zu einem weltweit führenden Anbieter von Insights, Analysen, Daten und KI–gestützten Lösungen wider. Unterstützt wird die neue Marke durch eine neu gestaltete Website, die Kunden einen klaren und aktuellen Überblick über die erweiterten Fähigkeiten des Unternehmens und das integrierte Geschäft von Acuity bietet.

Der Erfolg von Acuity liegt seit 23 Jahren in seinen Mitarbeitern begründet. Die Grundlage des Unternehmens bilden fundierte Fachkenntnisse, ein ausgeprägtes analytisches Urteilsvermögen, aufschlussreiche Forschungsergebnisse und das Engagement, Kunden aus der Finanzbranche hochwertige Dienstleistungen zu bieten. Von dieser Basis aus wächst Acuity Analytics in neue Branchen, neue Kompetenzbereiche und neue Märkte hinein und knüpft dabei enge und langjährige Partnerschaften mit vielen der weltweit führenden Finanzinstitute.

So wie sich die Kundenbedürfnisse und die Technologie weiterentwickelt haben, hat sich auch das Unternehmen weiterentwickelt. Acuity Analytics beschäftigt heute über 7.200 Experten an 28 Standorten weltweit und unterstützt mehr als 800 Kunden mit Forschungs–, Analyse–, Daten– und Betriebslösungen. Durch die Integration der PPA Group im Jahr 2024 und von Ascent im Jahr 2025 hat das Unternehmen außerdem seine Kompetenzen in den Bereichen Technik, Cloud und Digitalisierung erweitert, und kann nun einen umfassenderen End–to–End–Support bieten, der auf die sich wandelnden Kundenbedürfnisse abgestimmt ist.

Technologie, insbesondere KI, spielt mittlerweile eine zentrale Rolle in der Geschäftstätigkeit von Acuity Analytics, doch der Mensch steht weiterhin im Mittelpunkt. Die Strategie des Unternehmens basiert auf dem Grundsatz, dass KI am effektivsten ist, wenn sie von Experten gesteuert wird, die die Kundendaten, Arbeitsabläufe und Entscheidungsprozesse umfassend verstehen. Die firmeneigene agentenbasierte KI–Plattform von Acuity, Agent Fleet, verbessert die Leistungserbringung durch die Automatisierung von Routineaufgaben und die Steigerung von Effizienz und Genauigkeit, während Fachexperten sicherstellen, dass jedes Ergebnis den Standards, individuellen Anforderungen und Erwartungen der Kunden entspricht. Dieser „Human–in–the–Loop”–Ansatz ist inzwischen von grundlegender Bedeutung für die Art und Weise, wie das Unternehmen Erkenntnisse, Innovationen und Ergebnisse erzielt.

Die neue Website von Acuity Analytics spiegelt diese Entwicklung wider. Sie wurde nach den Bedürfnissen der Kunden gestaltet, bietet eine klare Struktur, veranschaulicht das Zusammenwirken von Talent, Technologie und Kompetenz des Unternehmens und vermittelt den Kunden anschaulich, wie Acuity Analytics sie bei der Umsetzung ihrer Prioritäten unterstützen kann – sei es durch engagierte Teams, KI–gestützte Workflows oder eine umfassendere digitale Transformation.

Robert King, Chief Executive Officer von Acuity Analytics, sagte:

„Unsere Mitarbeiter waren schon immer das Herzstück dieses Unternehmens. Ihre Expertise und ihr Engagement haben bewirkt, dass wir mittlerweile mit über 800 Institutionen weltweit zusammenarbeiten. Gleichzeitig haben wir die Chancen erkannt, die Technologie und KI in unserem Arbeitsbereich bieten. Dieses Rebranding ist Ausdruck dieser Entwicklung: Ein Unternehmen, das auf außergewöhnlichen Menschen aufgebaut ist und nun durch fortschrittliche Technologie gestärkt wird. Ich bin sehr stolz darauf, was Acuity Analytics erreicht hat, und freue mich darauf, was dieses nächste Kapitel für unsere Kunden und unsere Mitarbeiter bringt.“

Emma Crabtree, Chief Revenue Officer bei Acuity Analytics, sagte:

„Kunden wünschen sich Partner, die ihre Branche verstehen und sie sowohl mit Fachkompetenz als auch mit moderner Technologie unterstützen können. Unsere Weiterentwicklung zu Acuity Analytics spiegelt dies wider. Die neue Marke und Website vermitteln Kunden einen besseren Überblick über unsere umfassenden Kompetenzen und darüber, wie wir Fachwissen, Daten, digitale Technologien und KI miteinander verbinden, um messbare Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Dies versetzt uns in die Lage, Kunden, deren Bedürfnisse sich weiterentwickeln, noch effektiver unterstützen und begleiten zu können.“

Namib Minerals Provides Business Update

How Mine Expansion to 55,000 Tonnes Per Month Targeting H2 2026 Operational Date
Enabling Works Commenced at Redwing; 8–Month Dewatering Program to Begin
Company Outlines $300–400 Million Capital Plan with Non–Dilutive Funding Strategy
Management to Host Business Update Conference Call at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time

NEW YORK, Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Namib Minerals (“Namib Minerals” or “the Company”), (Nasdaq: NAMM), an established African gold producer with a portfolio of mining and exploration assets in Zimbabwe today provided a business update on its strategic growth initiatives.

“As a publicly traded company, we are committed to transparent communication as we advance our growth strategy,” said Ibrahima Sory Tall, Chief Executive Officer of Namib Minerals. “We are focused on building Namib Minerals into a multi–asset, mid–tier producer through operational optimization at How Mine and the disciplined restart of our Mazowe and Redwing mines. Our engagement of WSP for comprehensive feasibility studies, combined with the commencement of enabling works at Redwing and capacity expansion initiatives at How Mine, demonstrates tangible progress toward our vision. We look forward to updating the investment community on our strategic roadmap and near–term milestones.”

Strategic Growth Update
Since listing on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in June 2025, Namib Minerals has executed on its strategy to transform from a single–mine operator into a multi–asset gold producer. The Company is advancing a three–pillar growth strategy: operational excellence at How Mine, strategic restarts of Mazowe and Redwing mines, and portfolio diversification through critical minerals exploration.

How Mine Capacity Expansion
As part of its commitment to operational improvement at How Mine, the Company is advancing plans to expand ore milling capacity from 40,500 tonnes per month in 2024 to 55,000 tonnes per month, representing an approximately 36% increase in throughput capacity. The Company is currently working on the procurement of the required equipment and expects this expansion to be operational during the second half of 2026. This capacity expansion will enable the Company to process higher ore volumes and offset the reduction in grade experienced to date in 2025.

Restart Enabling Works
At Redwing, the Company has commenced enabling works. Dewatering is scheduled to commence during the feasibility study phase and is expected to take approximately eight months to reach the targeted mining levels. Dewatering is a critical first step in the restart sequence, allowing the Company to assess underground conditions, refurbish infrastructure, and prepare for a phased production ramp–up. Concurrently, surface–infrastructure and power–supply upgrades will be planned to align with the restart timeline.

At Mazowe, the Company is advancing surface infrastructure work, including power, water, and tailings management systems, alongside detailed engineering studies to optimize the restart sequence and capital efficiency.

WSP Feasibility Studies
Supporting this disciplined approach, the Company has engaged WSP to conduct comprehensive feasibility studies for both Redwing and Mazowe. As announced on November 10, 2025, WSP has been appointed to execute S–K 1300 compliant feasibility studies for both mines simultaneously. Both mines are currently under care and maintenance and require completion of dewatering and resource drilling before redevelopment can commence. The program is expected to be completed over 12 to 18 months and will provide the technical foundation for reserve conversion, permitting, and financing discussions.

Long–Term Strategic Objective
The Company's vision is to build Namib Minerals into a multi–asset, mid–tier gold producer, working toward a strategic goal of ultimately producing 300,000 ounces per year. This represents a long–term corporate objective, not production guidance or a forecast, and is not based on a Preliminary Economic Assessment, Pre–Feasibility Study, or Feasibility Study. Achievement of this objective is contingent upon execution of the Company's long–term strategy, including the successful execution of restart programs and expansion of mines and other exploration and development goals. 

Preliminary Capital Requirements
The Company's preliminary estimate is that the total funding requirement for the expansion program is expected to fall within a range of $300 million to $400 million, with the majority allocated to Redwing Mine. The Company is pursuing a balanced funding mix including structured solutions that minimize dilution and prioritize project debt, strategic partnerships, and internally–generated cash flows to minimize shareholder dilution while supporting growth initiatives. The Company is in dialogue with multiple capital providers to support its growth plans. The Company’s estimated funding requirement amount is preliminary and subject to completion of feasibility studies, final engineering outcomes, market conditions, and equipment costs and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control.

Conference Call Information
Interested investors and other parties can listen to a webcast of the live conference call by logging onto the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at https://namibminerals.gcs–web.com/. An archived replay of the webcast will be available on the Company’s website shortly after the event concludes.

Participants may also access the call by dialing (877) 407–9039 for domestic callers or (201) 689–8470 for international callers.

Namib Minerals management will incorporate responses to a selection of shareholders’ frequently asked questions during the webcast. Shareholders are invited to submit questions via the investor relations email address: [email protected]. Please include the hashtag #askNamib in the subject line.

Bitget quebra novo marco com US$ 5 bilhões em volume acumulado de negociação de futuros de ações

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Bitget, principal Bolsa Universal (UEX) do mundo, anunciou hoje um novo marco para sua linha de produtos futuros de ações de rápido crescimento, ultrapassando US$ 5 bilhões em volume acumulado de negociação. A conquista ocorre apenas uma semana após ultrapassar a marca de US$ 3 bilhões, destacando a aceleração da demanda global por futuros de ações tokenizadas.

O aumento da atividade espelha o dinamismo do mercado de ações dos EUA, onde o crescimento impulsionado por IA, os lucros recordes do terceiro trimestre e o renovado interesse por líderes de tecnologia continuam a chamar a atenção dos traders. Entre a linha de futuros de ações da Bitget, a MicroStrategy (MSTR) liderou com US$ 1,4 bilhão em volume acumulado, seguida pela Tesla (TSLA) com US$ 1 bilhão e pela Apple (AAPL) com US$ 472 milhões, destacando o forte apetite tanto por criptomoedas quanto por gigantes tradicionais de tecnologia.

Atualmente, a Bitget lista mais de 30 futuros perpétuos com margem de USDT vinculados às principais ações dos EUA, oferecendo até 25x de alavancagem e taxas de negociação altamente competitivas de 0,0065%. À medida que a adoção de ações tokenizadas acelera, a Bitget lançou uma redução de 90% na taxa de negociação por tempo limitado em todos os pares futuros de ações. A promoção vai até 31 de janeiro e oferece tanto a novos quanto aos atuais usuários a oportunidade de negociar ações de ponta a custo ultrabaixo, enquanto exploram a eficiência, flexibilidade e acesso 24 horas por dia oferecidos pelos futuros de ações tokenizadas.

Esse crescimento acelerado reforça a visão da Bitget sobre a Bolsa Universal (UEX): uma plataforma única onde os usuários possam se mover de forma fluida entre produtos nativos de criptomoedas e mercados financeiros tradicionais sob uma única conta unificada. A expansão dos futuros de ações, junto com tokens de ações tokenizadas, aproxima a Bitget de seu objetivo de tornar os mercados globais mais fáceis de acessar, entender e mais econômicos.

Bitget franchit un nouveau cap avec 5 milliards de dollars de volume cumulé sur les contrats à terme adossés à des actions

VICTORIA, Seychelles, 20 nov. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, la plus grande bourse universelle (UEX) au monde, annonce ce jour un nouvel accomplissement pour sa gamme de produits à croissance rapide dans le domaine des contrats à terme sur actions, avec un volume cumulé de transactions dépassant les 5 milliards de dollars. Cette réussite intervient une semaine seulement après avoir franchi la barre des 3 milliards de dollars, soulignant l’accélération de la demande mondiale pour les contrats à terme sur actions tokenisés.

Cette dynamique reflète l’élan du marché boursier américain, porté par la croissance liée à l’IA, des résultats record au troisième trimestre et un regain d’intérêt pour les grands noms de la tech de la part des traders. Au sein de l’offre de contrats à terme sur actions de Bitget, MicroStrategy (MSTR) domine avec 1,4 milliard de dollars de volume cumulé, suivie de Tesla (TSLA) avec 1 milliard et d’Apple (AAPL) avec 472 millions, confirmant l’attrait conjoint pour les crypto–actifs et les poids lourds technologiques.

Bitget propose actuellement plus de 30 contrats à terme perpétuels sur marge USDT liés aux principales actions américaines, offrant un effet de levier pouvant atteindre 25x et des frais de négociation très compétitifs de 0,0065 %. Alors que l’adoption des actions tokenisées s’accélère, Bitget a lancé une réduction exceptionnelle de 90 % sur les frais de trading de toutes les paires de contrats à terme sur actions. Cette promotion, valable jusqu’au 31 janvier, permet aux nouveaux comme aux utilisateurs existants de négocier des actions phares à coût très réduit tout en bénéficiant de la souplesse, de l’efficacité et de l’accès 24 heures sur 24 qu’offrent les contrats à terme sur actions tokenisés.

Cette croissance rapide s’inscrit pleinement dans la vision UEX de Bitget : proposer une plateforme unifiée où les utilisateurs peuvent passer sans friction entre produits crypto natifs et marchés financiers traditionnels, le tout via un seul compte intégré. L’expansion des contrats à terme sur actions, parallèlement aux jetons d’actions tokenisés, rapproche Bitget de son objectif de rendre les marchés mondiaux plus accessibles, plus compréhensibles et plus rentables.

« Franchir les 5 milliards aussi vite démontre que les traders ne se contentent plus d’explorer ces produits : ils intègrent réellement les contrats à terme sur actions tokenisés dans leurs stratégies », a déclaré Gracy Chen, PDG de Bitget. « Ces contrats à terme offrent la flexibilité de la crypto tout en offrant une exposition directe aux entreprises qu’ils suivent au quotidien. C’est une combinaison puissante, qui reflète exactement ce que l’UEX est censé offrir. »

Alors que de plus en plus d’investisseurs cherchent des moyens de négocier des actifs traditionnels avec la rapidité, la liquidité et l’accessibilité propres à la crypto, Bitget continue d’étendre son offre à l’intersection de ces deux univers, bâtissant l’infrastructure financière d’une nouvelle ère d’investissement mondial.

Bitget Shatters New Milestone with $5B in Stock Futures Cumulative Trading Volume

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), today announced a new milestone for its fast–growing stock futures product line, surpassing $5 billion in cumulative trading volume. The achievement comes just one week after crossing the $3 billion mark, highlighting accelerating global demand for tokenized stock futures.

The surge in activity mirrors the momentum of the US stock market, where AI–driven growth, record–breaking Q3 earnings, and renewed interest in tech leaders continue to capture trader attention. Among Bitget’s stock futures lineup, MicroStrategy (MSTR) led with $1.4 billion in cumulative volume, followed by Tesla (TSLA) at $1 billion and Apple (AAPL) at $472 million, casting a spotlight on strong appetite for both crypto and longstanding tech giants.

Bitget currently lists over 30 USDT–margined perpetual futures tied to top US stocks, offering up to 25x leverage and highly competitive trading fees of 0.0065%.

It’s a powerful combination, and it reflects exactly what UEX is designed to deliver.”

As more investors look for ways to trade traditional assets with crypto–native speed, liquidity, and accessibility, Bitget continues to expand its offering at the intersection of both worlds, building the financial infrastructure for a new era of global investing.

Saudi Arabia Joins Global Framework for Close-Out Netting

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Nov. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) has published its legal opinions that recognize the enforceability of close–out netting in Saudi Arabia, a move that provides global financial institutions with greater legal certainty when transacting in the Kingdom’s Derivatives Market. The decision follows the Capital Market Authority’s (CMA) issuance of the (Close–out Netting and related Collateral Arrangements Regulation) this year.

Close–out netting allows counterparties in a qualified financial contract to offset their obligations if one party defaults, leaving only a single net payment due. Thus, reducing systemic risk and ensures the orderly settlement of contracts. Additionally, its enforceability determines whether international investors can manage their exposures efficiently.

The CMA regulation that was published establishes a legal recognition of netting and related Financial collateral arrangements where one party is a capital market institution. It also aims to enhance the stability of the financial system and protect investors by ensuring the enforceability of a qualified financial contracts thereby safeguarding the rights of all parties involved.

Mr. Raed Alhumaid, CMA Deputy for Market Institutions, said that the development reflects Saudi Arabia’s ongoing effort to strengthen the foundations of its financial system. He added, “We welcome ISDA’s legal opinions that recognize the enforceability of close–out netting in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, following the issuance of our (Close–out Netting and Related Collateral Arrangements Regulation) this year.”

For international institutions, the recognition of enforceable netting in Saudi Arabia reduces counterparty uncertainty and supports broader participation in the local derivatives markets, creating the legal foundation necessary for market depth and liquidity growth.

It is worth noting that Saudi Arabia’s derivatives market was launched in 2020 with the MT30 Index Futures, followed by single stock futures (SSF) in 2022 and single stock options (SSO) in 2023. These instruments expanded investors’ ability to hedge and manage risk. The enforceable netting framework strengthens this market by ensuring greater legal certainty in derivatives transactions and supporting its continued growth and stability.

The CMA noted in its press release that the regulation includes a set of provisions governing close–out netting and associated collateral arrangements, defines its scope of application and the entities subject to it, and defines qualified financial contracts and transactions that would be exempt from the provisions of the Bankruptcy Law. This step is expected to contribute to enhancing the stability and sustainability of the Kingdom’s financial sector and the overall capital market framework.
