This integrated design allows users to target every major muscle group and perform hundreds of exercises without the need for additional equipment, optimizing both space and budget.

Performance Meets Practicality in Every Detail

The M2 3D prioritizes customization with 16 adjustment holes on the main and fly slider uprights—a significant upgrade from previous models—ensuring precise bar and pulley positioning for optimal form and results across all body types. The M2 Pro-3D model features dual 143lb weight stacks for instant resistance changes—ideal for high-intensity training and family use. The all-in-one trainer features easy-to-use selector pins, eliminating the hassle of loading plates to streamline fast-paced workouts. Safety and customization are enhanced with 16 adjustment holes on the main and fly slider uprights, a significant upgrade from previous models, ensuring precise bar and pulley positioning for optimal form and results for all body types. A dedicated storage system with six pegs and four hooks keeps plates and accessories neatly organized, promoting a safer and more efficient workout space.

Addressing the presentation ceremony, Mr Chan said, “The Hong Kong ICT Awards sets new benchmarks for excellence, inspires both seasoned professionals and budding talent to expand their imagination, push the boundaries of technology, and create innovative solutions to address society’s pain points and challenges.”

Noting that a Best Use of AI Award was featured again across all eight categories of this year’s Hong Kong ICT Awards, Mr Chan pointed out the growing importance of AI in every sector. He said that’s why the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government has made AI a focus of its innovation and technology strategy, to develop it as a core industry, and to promote it as an enabler to upgrade traditional sectors.

The Hong Kong ICT Awards aims to recognise and promote outstanding local Information and Communications Technology ICT innovations and applications. It has been well-received as an annual flagship event of the local industry since its debut in 2006.

DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report, in collaboration with Block Scholes.  The report analyzes the sharp decline in major digital assets and the continued rise in risk aversion across crypto markets.

Key Highlights:

• Perpetuals: Open interest in leveraged swap contracts remains far from optimistic and has moved sideways around 9 billion dollars for the past week, nearly half the notional value prior to the Oct. 10, 2025 leverage unwind.
  • Options: Implied volatility levels for BTC and ETH are now higher than the peak reached following the Oct. 10, 2025 meltdown, resulting in a now firmly inverted term structure for BTC and ETH.
  • Block Scholes’ Risk Appetite Index measures the level of euphoria or panic in the spot market, with current momentum showing a strong relationship to recent spot returns.

The report shows that Bitcoin fell from $105,000 to below $82,000 during the past week. The decline erased its year-to-date gains and pushed the average ETF investor below breakeven, with the average entry price estimated at about $89,000. The downturn accelerated following the stronger than expected US September jobs data along with confirmation that no October employment report will be released. Such developments are set to reduce visibility for Fed policymakers, which added to the overall risk aversion.

Derivatives markets reflected the ongoing shift in sentiment as traders moved toward short-dated downside protection and volatility climbed at the front of the curve. While spot markets drove much of the recent selloff, perpetual futures open interest remained relatively unchanged, signaling limited appetite among traders to rebuild leverage following the October unwind.

The full analysis is available in the Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report.
