VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Wondershare, a global leader in creative and productivity solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration with Topaz Labs, a pioneer in AI-powered video enhancement. As part of the initial rollout, Topaz’s diffusion-driven enhancement model, Starlight, has been integrated into Wondershare’s all-in-one AI Video Converter & Enhancer, UniConverter, with plans to expand the integration across additional products—including Wondershare Filmora, Wondershare SelfyzAI, Wondershare Repairit, and more—in future updates. This partnership marks a significant leap in video enhancement performance, giving users access to capabilities traditionally reserved for advanced production pipelines.

The global video production market was valued at $98.99 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $746.88 billion by 2030, reflecting a rapid 33.5% CAGR. As video creation continues to surge, creators increasingly require higher-fidelity visual outputs across a broader variety of source materials. Wondershare has long been committed to elevating the creative experience by partnering with leading technology innovators. The collaboration with Topaz Labs reflects this commitment and reinforces Wondershare’s long-term vision of building a robust, AI-driven creative ecosystem. By bringing advanced AI models into its product lineup, Wondershare aims to provide creators with more powerful and intuitive tools that enhance both the quality and versatility of their content.

Topaz Labs Starlight stands as the world’s first diffusion-based AI model for video enhancement and the only solution to deliver full temporal consistency across frames. Through its integration with UniConverter, the tool now offers exceptional detail reconstruction and unifies five key restoration tasks—upscaling, denoising, deblurring, de-aliasing, and sharpening—within a seamless, one-click workflow capable of elevating even sub-480p footage to HD or 4K quality. Powered by cloud-based compute, the process requires no high-end GPU, allowing everyday devices to achieve professional-grade results at speed. From restoring legacy footage and improving low-resolution online videos to clarifying animated linework and upgrading AI-generated materials, UniConverter substantially broadens the range of content creators can enhance, refine, and repurpose.

“Wondershare has always been committed to empowering creators by bringing advanced technologies into accessible, easy-to-use tools,” said Sam Zhang, Vice President of Wondershare. “We are delighted to collaborate with Topaz Labs, whose leadership in AI video enhancement aligns closely with our mission. This partnership marks an exciting step forward, and we will continue exploring new collaborations and innovations that help creators produce exceptional content with greater efficiency and confidence.”

“For years, Wondershare has been a leader in video editing and production technology,” says Dr. Suraj Raghuraman, Head of AI Engine at Topaz Labs. “Much like our team here at Topaz, Wondershare has built a reputation for innovation and quality in their tools, so we’re thrilled to partner with them to bring world-class video enhancement to UniConverter, and soon to other Wondershare products as well.”

ABU DHABI, UAE, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, participated in the HSC Asset Management high-level conference in Abu Dhabi, where Yoyee Wang, Head of Business-to-Business (BBU), highlighted the role of custody design, capital efficiency and regulatory clarity in institutional engagement with digital assets. The two-day event brought together policymakers, asset managers and technology leaders to discuss global investment trends, digital assets, artificial intelligence and the future architecture of financial markets.

Wang spoke as a panelist during the Grand Forum Day session titled “The Future Stack of Digital Finance: Investments, Transactions, Custody, and the New Market Architecture,” which examined how institutional-grade infrastructure is influencing the evolution of digital finance.

Moderated by David Gevorkian, managing director of TWO23 Group, the panel featured senior executives from major digital asset platforms, including Kevin Lee, chief business officer at Gate; Yana Minaylova, head of institutional sales and business development for MENA at Binance; and Jessica Wu, head of APAC at Bitpanda Technology Solutions.

Custody, Risk and Capital Efficiency

During the discussion, Wang emphasized that institutional conversations around custody are fundamentally driven by risk management and operational considerations.

“When institutions talk about custody, the discussion usually starts with security – transparency, control of assets and risk reduction,” Wang said.”But custody is not the objective in itself. The underlying question is how clients can trade more efficiently while managing risk.”

She noted that as custodian and off-exchange settlement models become more common, market participants are increasingly focused on capital usage.

“As custody structures are introduced, whether through multi-party arrangements or off-exchange solutions, the immediate challenge for the industry is capital efficiency,” Wang said. “The priority is to improve capital efficiency, on top of enhanced security and reduced counterparty risk to exchanges.”

Regulatory Clarity in the UAE

Wang also highlighted the role of regulatory clarity in enabling institutional participation, pointing to the United Arab Emirates as a key example.

“Bybit established its headquarters in the UAE some time ago, and we’ve seen regulations in the region become progressively clearer,” she said. “That clarity and certainty are critical for technology innovation and for building confidence among global institutions.”

She added that clearer frameworks have helped foster constructive dialogue between regulators, market participants and technology providers, supporting long-term market development.

Tokenized Real-World Assets

Addressing the growing interest in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), Wang noted that Bybit has supported access to regulated RWA products through collaborations with established financial institutions.

“We’ve launched tokenized products in collaboration with Qatar National Bank and UBS that provide exposure to underlying money-market instruments,” Wang said. “These structures allow clients to access traditional returns within a digital asset framework, while benefiting from liquidity and trading functionality.”

She cautioned, however, that the broader RWA landscape remains uneven.

“The market today includes a wide range of structures and standards,” Wang said. “Our focus is on products that are well-structured, subject to appropriate oversight and designed to be tradable, so they can support liquidity in secondary markets.”

Institutional Engagement Beyond Asset Exposure

Wang concluded by encouraging institutions to take a broader view of how they engage with digital assets.

“We’d like institutions to look beyond digital assets solely as an asset class and consider them as part of a broader blockchain infrastructure,” she said. “Participation can take many forms — from liquidity provision to agency trading or technology collaboration — depending on an institution’s business model and risk framework.”

BEIJING, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — China’s tea industry is shifting from a pillar industry for poverty alleviation to a key driver of rural revitalization, said Li Chunsheng, president of the China Association of Supply and Marketing Cooperative Economics, at the 2025 Global Green Tea Congress held in Wuyuan County, east China’s Jiangxi Province.

China’s tea output now exceeds 37 million tonnes, with the total value surpassing 330 billion yuan, supporting regional economic development and increasing farmers’ incomes.

Li pointed out that tea has become one of the world’s three major beverages, with over 2 billion people worldwide having the habit of drinking tea. China’s initiative to designate May 21 as the International Tea Day in 2019 highlights the global leadership of its tea industry. 

In analyzing the development of green tea in Wuyuan County, east China’s Jiangxi Province, Li elaborated on the transformation and upgrading of the tea industry in the county through integrated tourism, industrial development and cultural innovation.

Official release follows successful beta with 150,000 users, empowering developers to build and deploy full-stack web applications in minutes

SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent Cloud today announced the official launch of its EdgeOne Pages, a pioneering edge-native, full-stack development platform. This launch marks a significant enhancement to Tencent Cloud’s end-to-end AI development and deployment ecosystem. EdgeOne Pages allows developers to rapidly build Web projects without setting up servers, configuring environments, or handling operations, enabling instant deployment and effortless global launch.

Since its beta launch in October 2024, EdgeOne Pages has gained rapid adoption, serving over 150,000 users and facilitating more than one million deployments. Incorporating extensive user feedback, the official version now introduces multiple new capabilities, including metrics and usage analytics, customizable security protection, mainstream SSR full-stack frameworks, one-click KV storage, and AI voice chatbots.

Furthermore, a permanently free tier is available for all users with a one-click activation, offering core benefits such as unmetered website security acceleration traffic and request quotas, platform-level security protection, and unified data monitoring.

In the past, launching web projects globally often faced challenges such as long deployment cycles and slow launch times. For example, many AI tool developers targeting overseas markets face a lengthy process of complex tasks, including architecture planning, server procurement and configuration, frontend and backend setup, integration of user authentication (email verification, third-party login), multi-currency payment integration and callback handling, operations and maintenance, backups, and cross-region acceleration — a timeline often spanning weeks.

Market demands, however, evolve rapidly. Users seeking “basic text-to-image generation” today may request “style customization + batch export” tomorrow. The ability to rapidly develop, deploy, and validate product ideas has become a key competitive advantage for teams expanding globally.

Now, with the official release of EdgeOne Pages, independent developers and small teams can now streamline building, deployment, and operations into a unified process, reducing website launch time from days to minutes.

Build Phase: EdgeOne Pages provides a rich variety of website templates, covering multiple categories such as AI tools, online utilities, SaaS, B2B services, corporate websites, product pages, e-commerce, landing pages, and campaign pages. Through integrated Functions, users can effortless integrate CMS, payments, OAuth, databases, and other third-party services. Leveraging built-in WebSocket and LLM capabilities, users can even build an AI voice chat page rapidly using pre-built templates.

Deployment Phase: EdgeOne’s network of over 3,200 global edge nodes automatically distributes site content to nodes closest to end users, delivering global acceleration and intelligent caching for both static and dynamic content, ensuring stable and consistent performance.

Operation Phase: EdgeOne Pages leverages a serverless architecture, eliminating the need to purchase and maintain servers, significantly reducing operational costs. The official version also introduces enhanced data monitoring capabilities, allowing users to view site usage directly in the console and utilize a new analytics dashboard to filter detailed metrics by site and host, enabling continuous performance tracking.

EdgeOne Pages has now evolved from supporting a single framework to a complete full-stack ecosystem, with native support for mainstream full-stack frameworks including Next.js, Astro, Nuxt, React Router, and SvelteKit. In the EdgeOne Pages template gallery, users can preview templates or deploy them with one click. Developers can also deploy their existing full-stack applications to EdgeOne Pages without modifying project structures.

Deeply integrated into the AI development ecosystem, EdgeOne Pages offers full compatibility with the CodeBuddy IDE, enabling developers to complete full-stack project development in CodeBuddy and deploy with a single click to launch Web projects with global acceleration. Through MCP (Model Context Protocol), EdgeOne Pages seamlessly connects with mainstream AI IDEs such as Cursor and VS Code, further improving development efficiency. The simultaneous update of EdgeOne CLI provides a smoother development and deployment experience for users with different workflows.

Through products such as CodeBuddy and EdgeOne Pages, Tencent Cloud continues to empower developers worldwide. Looking ahead, EdgeOne Pages will keep innovating and evolving, building a new generation of development tools that are more intelligent, more reliable, and more capable.
