Bitget Upgrades CFD Copy Trading With Personalized Risk Controls

 

VICTORIA, Seychelles - Thursday, 25. June 2026

 

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has introduced major upgrades to its CFD Copy Trading system, giving followers greater control over risk management through new position sizing models, independent take-profit and stop-loss settings, and advanced exposure controls.

Copy trading has become one of the most popular ways for users to participate in financial markets, allowing traders to replicate the strategies of experienced market participants. However, as adoption has grown, many users have encountered challenges associated with traditional copy trading models, particularly when differences in risk tolerance and trading style create unintended exposure.

To address these concerns, Bitget’s latest upgrade introduces two new position sizing models. Under Fixed Ratio mode, position sizes are automatically adjusted according to the relative account equity of the follower and the trader being copied, reducing the risks associated with capital mismatches. Fixed Lot mode allows followers to define a predetermined position size for every copied trade, giving users more direct control over their exposure regardless of the trader’s order size.

The update also introduces independent take-profit and stop-loss settings for followers, allowing users to establish personal risk thresholds separate from those of the trader they follow. Once a predefined profit or loss level is reached, positions can be automatically closed based on the follower’s individual settings. Additional controls, including maximum copy lot limits and custom lot multipliers, provide further flexibility for both new and experienced users.

“Copy trading does mean giving up control of your account,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “As users become more sophisticated, they want the ability to benefit from experienced traders while managing risk according to their own objectives. This upgrade shifts copy trading from simple strategy replication toward a more personalized and controlled trading experience.”

The enhancements were developed in response to user feedback and reflect a broader industry shift toward more flexible risk management tools. As traders increasingly participate across crypto and traditional financial markets, demand continues to grow for products that balance accessibility with greater control over capital allocation and risk exposure.

The launch follows Bitget’s continued expansion of its CFD offering within the Universal Exchange ecosystem, which brings together crypto, stocks, commodities, foreign exchange products, and derivatives through a unified trading environment. Earlier this month, Bitget was recognized as the “Best Global Multi-Asset Trading Platform” at the Online Trading Expo, marking the company’s first award in the CFD sector and reflecting growing industry recognition of its multi-asset trading strategy. By strengthening risk management capabilities within copy trading, Bitget continues enhancing the tools and infrastructure available to traders participating across global markets.

He said the graduates are embarking on a future filled with opportunities, challenges and achievements, equipped with the knowledge, resilience and determination to succeed.

His Highness added that this vision reflects the UAE's values, whose forefathers believed prosperity comes from engaging with the wider world, learning from it and contributing to it. His Highness described the master's programme as a modern expression of this belief, connecting Sharjah and Barcelona while bringing together two distinguished institutions, cultures and traditions of excellence. The programme enables students to benefit from the intellectual and cultural strengths of both countries, preparing them for successful careers in an increasingly interconnected world.

His Highness stressed that the specialization is a special hub where bright new ideas are born, information is examined, interpreted and shaped before sharing it with the world. The digitalized era has altered information speed and dissemination, allowing the stories, platforms and narratives that they create to reach audiences across the globe, a power that needs humility, integrity and insight.

His Highness highlighted Shams’s role as the third strategic partner, building a solid collaboration between academia, industry and the creative economy. His Highness said this partnership equips graduates with practical experience, exposure to diverse perspectives and the skills needed to address real-world challenges. His Highness encouraged graduates to continue seeking knowledge and inspiring others, while expressing appreciation to their families and the academic and administrative staff of both universities.

His Highness presented graduation certificates to 24 graduates, congratulated them, and wished them success in their future careers.

Before the ceremony, His Highness met with Dr Joan Guàrdia Olmos, the Rector of the University of Barcelona, to discuss ways to strengthen academic and scientific cooperation. His Highness also toured the university's academic facilities, graduation hall, library and collection of rare manuscripts and books.

On the sidelines of the visit, His Highness attended the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Sharjah Media City (Shams) and the Faculty of Philology and Communication at the University of Barcelona. The agreement was signed by Rashid Abdullah Al Obad, Director General of Sharjah Media City (Shams), and Dr Joan G. Burguera, Dean of the Faculty of Philology and Communication at the University of Barcelona. It establishes a framework for cooperation in media, digital innovation, entrepreneurship, scientific research and the creative industries.

The memorandum also promotes academic and professional exchanges, training programmes, conferences, seminars, and workshops, while supporting national talent, fostering entrepreneurship, and helping transform innovative student projects into marketable media products, reinforcing Shams' commitment to partnerships with leading academic institutions.

VerSprite Launches Fork and Knife: AI-Driven Threat Modeling and Adversarial Testing Built for the Speed of Modern Software

 ATLANTA -

Powered by the risk-centric PASTA methodology and two decades of accredited offensive security, the integrated platform lets enterprises threat model in a security sprint—then prove the risk through AI-led, human-on-the-loop testing.

(BUSINESS WIRE)--VerSprite, a global leader in risk-based threat modeling and the firm behind the PASTA (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis) methodology, today announced the general availability of Fork (www.forktm.com), a continuous application threat modeling platform, alongside Knife, an AI-led, human-on-the-loop adversarial testing platform for web applications and web API endpoints. Together, the two products operationalize a new model for product security—one where applications are securely designed, continuously modeled, and actively tested as part of the build process itself.

The launch addresses a problem every security leader knows but few tools have solved: threat modeling is essential, never more so than in an AI-driven era, yet it has remained slow, manual, and anchored to frameworks designed for a different threat landscape.

The problem: threat modeling matters more than ever—and most tools are stuck in 2005

For two decades, application threat modeling has leaned heavily on STRIDE—a categorization mnemonic for spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, denial of service, and elevation of privilege. STRIDE is useful for sorting threats into buckets, but it was never a methodology. It does not ingest real-time threat intelligence, it does not weigh business impact, and its static categories say nothing about the adversary behaviors defining risk today—persistence, extortion, double-extortion ransomware, supply-chain compromise, and the novel attack surfaces introduced by AI-enabled applications.

The result is a familiar bottleneck. Threat modeling gets treated as a one-time, document-heavy exercise that lands too late in the lifecycle, goes stale the moment an application changes, and rarely connects to the testing that would actually validate whether a threat is real. As organizations ship faster and adopt AI across the stack, the gap between how quickly software evolves and how slowly it gets modeled has become a material risk.

The solution: risk-centric threat modeling at sprint speed

Fork is a practical, software-driven implementation of PASTA—the only risk-centric, business-aligned threat modeling methodology, co-authored by VerSprite founder and CEO Tony UcedaVelez. Rather than categorizing threats in the abstract, PASTA’s seven stages move from business objectives through attack surface, application decomposition, threat analysis, weakness and vulnerability analysis, attack modeling, and finally risk and impact analysis—so the threats that surface are the ones most likely to happen and most damaging if they do.

Fork brings that rigor to the cadence of modern development, enabling teams to produce a defensible, risk-prioritized threat model in under two hours and keep it current from Sprint 1 onward. Key capabilities include:

AI-accelerated attack trees. Fork’s AI capabilities intelligently trim the attack tree for an application, removing noise and focusing analysts on viable, high-impact paths instead of exhaustive theoretical ones.

Contextualized, threat-informed models. Fork enriches every model with live cyber threat intelligence, the latest vulnerability data across a product’s full technology stack, and viable attack vectors substantiated through real adversarial testing.

Industry-aligned taxonomies. The platform automatically correlates findings with trusted MITRE and OWASP frameworks—including CWE, CVE with EPSS scoring, CAPEC, ATT&CK, D3FEND, and ASVS—to drive targeted, defensible mitigations.

A proprietary residual risk formula. As tests complete and conditions change, Fork recalculates residual risk so leaders always have an accurate, current view of exposure.

A single pane of glass. Industry threats, an application’s attack surface, and threat intelligence converge into one unified, collaborative view for security, engineering, product, and business stakeholders.

From blueprint to proof: introducing Knife

A threat model defines which attack paths matter most. Knife proves them.

VerSprite is debuting Knife, an AI-led, human-on-the-loop adversarial platform for web applications and web API endpoints, trained on more than 20 years of accredited, industry-recognized offensive security work from VerSprite’s BREAKERS OffSec team. Where Fork serves as the blueprint for adversarial testing, Knife executes against that blueprint—pairing the scale and speed of AI with expert human oversight to validate exploitability with real-world fidelity.

The integration closes the loop that has long separated threat modeling from testing. From within a Fork threat model, teams can request targeted, on-demand testing of specific weaknesses and attack patterns. Knife runs the assessment; results flow back into the model; and Fork updates the residual risk of the product automatically. Threat modeling and adversarial testing stop being sequential, disconnected events and become a continuous, self-updating system.

A new operating model: AI SecOps

“The future of product and software security is an integrated model of AI SecOps—where products are securely designed and tested as part of the functional build process, not bolted on afterward. STRIDE gave the industry a vocabulary. PASTA gave it a methodology. Fork and Knife now give it operational speed—continuous threat modeling and integrated, AI-led testing that keeps pace with how software is actually built and how adversaries actually behave.”

— Tony UcedaVelez, CEO and founder of VerSprite and co-author of the PASTA methodology

Operationalized visibility through deep integrations

Fork is designed to supercharge, not replace, the security tooling enterprises already run. Through integrations across the AppSec ecosystem—spanning SAST, DAST, and software composition analysis, vulnerability scanning, cloud security posture, attack surface management (CASM), penetration testing platforms, and IT service management—Fork turns scattered findings into a living risk picture. Connected and roadmapped integrations include ServiceNow, Veracode, Snyk, Semgrep, Checkmarx, OpenCTI, Qualys, Tenable, Mandiant, and Archer, among others.

The payoff is real-time visibility, operationalized: as continuous and on-demand tests complete and report back, a product’s threat model and residual risk update at the speed of delivery—giving security and product leaders an always-current understanding of what could go wrong, how likely it is, and what it would cost the business.

Availability

Fork is available today. A free Fork Community edition supports a single application threat model with vulnerability ingestion via SBOM or OVAL, while Fork Enterprise unlocks unlimited applications and teams, all integrations, SSO, granular access controls, and audit logging. Fork Enterprise PT extends the platform with on-demand adversarial testing—powered by Knife and VerSprite’s BREAKERS team—requested directly from within a threat model. VerSprite also offers Threat Modeling as a Service for organizations seeking expert-led training and managed delivery.

DAYBU® (trofinetide) Recommended for Approval in the European Union by CHMP

 -- European Commission decision expected in the coming months

-- If approved, DAYBU® would become the first treatment for neurobehavioral symptoms of Rett syndrome in the European Union

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: ACAD) today announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has adopted a positive opinion following a re-examination procedure, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization for DAYBU® (trofinetide) for the treatment of neurobehavioral symptoms of Rett syndrome in adults and pediatric patients aged five years and older. If granted marketing authorization by the European Commission, DAYBU® would be the first therapy approved for this indication in the European Union (EU).

“The CHMP’s positive opinion for DAYBU® is an important milestone in our mission to bring this innovative therapy to the EU, where there are no therapies specifically approved for the neurobehavioral symptoms of this devastating condition," said Catherine Owen Adams, Acadia’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our commitment is to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients, caregivers, and the wider Rett community by addressing this significant unmet need, and we are very pleased with the outcome of the re-examination process."

The CHMP’s recommendation is primarily based on results from the Phase 3 LAVENDER™ study, which demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in core features of Rett syndrome, as measured by the Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire (RSBQ) and Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) scale. Importantly, these findings indicate that treatment with DAYBU® can address some of the most impactful aspects of Rett syndrome, which severely impact quality of life for patients and caregivers.

"For decades, families in Europe affected by Rett syndrome have had no medicine specifically approved for the neurobehavioral symptoms of this condition, despite the profound impact they have on almost every aspect of daily life,” said Pedro Rocha, President of Rett Syndrome Europe. “The CHMP’s positive opinion represents hope for thousands of European Union individuals living with this devastating condition, their families and caregivers."

Following the CHMP recommendation, the European Commission will review the opinion and is expected to issue a final decision in the coming months. If DAYBU® is approved, the marketing authorization would apply to all 27 EU member states, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.

About Rett Syndrome

Rett syndrome is a rare, complex, neurodevelopmental disorder and occurs in approximately one of every 10,000 to 15,000 female births worldwide.1-3 A child with Rett syndrome generally exhibits an early period of apparently normal development until six to 18 months, when many of their skills seem to slow down or stagnate. This is typically followed by a regression phase when the child loses acquired communication skills and purposeful hand use. The child may then experience a plateau period in which they could show mild recovery in cognitive interests, but body movements remain severely diminished. As they age, those individuals living with Rett may continue to experience a stage of motor deterioration, which can last the rest of the patient’s life.2 Rett syndrome is typically caused by a genetic mutation on the MECP2 gene.4 In preclinical studies, deficiency in MeCP2 function is thought to lead to impairment in synaptic communication and brain plasticity, and the deficits in synaptic function may be associated with Rett manifestations.4-6

Symptoms of Rett syndrome may also include development of hand stereotypies, such as hand wringing and clapping, and gait abnormalities.7 Most individuals living with Rett syndrome typically live into adulthood and require intense round-the-clock care.1,8

About DAYBU®

DAYBU® (trofinetide) is a synthetic analog of the N-terminal tripeptide of insulin-like growth factor 1.

Fossil Fuels Are a Thing of the Past; The Future Is Renewable: The Smarter E Europe Concludes With a Clear Message

  MUNICH & PFORZHEIM, Germany - Friday, 26. June 2026 AETOSWire 

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Packed halls, a vibrant atmosphere and a buzzing vibe – after three days, The smarter E Europe 2026, Europe’s largest alliance of exhibitions for the energy industry, has come to a successful close. The event held at Messe München offered a glimpse of a future-oriented energy world powered by renewables. A strong signal with a clear message went out to the world from the Bavarian capital: The future is renewable. Renewable energies can help ensure a reliable, secure and cost-effective energy supply around the clock, seven days a week. A total of 2,650 exhibitors from 52 countries – many of whom had expanded their booth space compared with the previous year – demonstrated how this can work. More than 66 percent of exhibitors were from outside of Germany. They presented innovative and market-ready products ranging from virtual power plants, smart grid and load control, smart charging solutions, storage technologies and PV hybrid systems to digital platforms transparently and flexibly. The technical program began on June 22 and 23, 2026, with four specialist conferences as part of The smarter E Europe. Including the side events, more than 3,000 participants gathered for an intensive exchange of knowledge and discussions on the latest industry developments. At the exhibition grounds, approximately 105,000 trade visitors from 163 countries took the opportunity to learn about new trends across industries and sectors, to network and to gain insight into the energy system of tomorrow.

Across all 19 exhibition halls and the Outdoor Area, there was a palpable sense of enthusiasm for contributing to major societal change and advancing the energy transition. “We are in the midst of a global transformation toward a completely new energy system. We cannot stop this revolution and must seize all the opportunities that exhibitors have shown us," says energy expert and author Dr. Tim Meyer.

Affordable and grid-friendly

He also led a tour of the special exhibit Renewables 24/7 – Secure Energy for a Changing World, which was among the exhibition’s highlights. “Fossil fuels are a thing of the past; the future clearly belongs to renewables. Over the three days of the exhibition, we demonstrated through practical examples and scientific evidence that renewables provide reliability, resilience and efficiency while making economic sense. That is why the path toward a renewable future must be pursued consistently. There can be no turning back,” explains Markus Elsässer, founder and CEO of Solar Promotion GmbH. “This year, with our focus on Renewables 24/7, we addressed the right topic at the right time. We have shown that we are thinking ahead and helping shape the future,” says Jens Mohrmann, Managing Director of Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe GmbH & Co. KG (FWTM).

The smarter E Europe is organized by Solar Promotion GmbH and Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe GmbH & Co. KG (FWTM).
