DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced the launch of Manual Borrowing on its Unified Trading Account (UTA) for margin trading, introducing a new level of control and flexibility for leveraged trading strategies. The feature allows traders to proactively borrow assets and hold them in advance of trading activity, complementing the existing Automatic Borrowing mechanism.

Enhanced Trading Control and Capital Efficiency

Manual Borrowing addresses common challenges in margin trading by enabling users to secure borrowable assets before market volatility or high utilization periods. With the new feature, users may proactively lock in leverage early according to their needs. This helps prevent missed opportunities due to asset unavailability or liquidity constraints in fast-moving markets, ensuring their strategies remain executable even during periods of hyperactivity in the market.

The Manual Borrowing feature integrates seamlessly into the existing Spot trading interface through a dedicated “Borrow” tab. Traders can select their desired tokens and amounts, confirm their borrowing requirements, and receive assets directly in their UTA for immediate use in margin trades.

Key Advantages: 

• Locking in liquidity for planned trades
• Protection against liquidity shortages during volatile market conditions
• Proactive borrowing to prevent failed execution of strategies

Powering up Trades with Bybit UTA 

This enhancement is part of Bybit’s commitment towards building a comprehensive trading solution for Bybit UTA users’ evolving needs at every stage of their trading journey.

Bybit UTA now supports both Manual and Automatic Borrowing options, catering to diverse user preferences and trading approaches. While Automatic Borrowing continues to provide one-click leverage at the time of trade execution, Manual Borrowing offers strategic planning capabilities for more sophisticated and personalized trading strategies.

The feature is now available to all eligible UTA users on Bybit. To learn more about borrowing on UTA, users may visit: Borrowing, Interest and Repayment (Unified Trading Account)

PASAY CITY, Philippines, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SM Investments Corporation (SM Investments), the parent company of the SM group, emphasized its practical approach to sustainability at The Dirty Work of Doing Good, a sustainability conference organized by the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Philippines.

Addressing industry leaders, sustainability advocates, and changemakers, SM Investments Head of Investor Relations and Sustainability Timothy Daniels said that sustainability for SM must be “practical, scalable, and felt by stakeholders, especially the communities we serve,” given the breadth of its core businesses in property, retail, banking, and strategic investments in logistics and renewable energy.

“For us, sustainability has to be practical. It’s not about making easy promises, but about creating shared value. The strategy has to be a win for all our stakeholders, not just the business. The ecosystem must move together for the common good,” Mr. Daniels said.

Building resilient communities

With the Philippines among the most climate-vulnerable countries, Daniels stressed that disaster resilience is a shared responsibility. Since 2005, SM has dedicated 10% of its capital expenditures to disaster-resilient and sustainable infrastructure.

SM City Marikina, for example, is built on 246 stilts to withstand river overflows during typhoon season and has served as a refuge for nearby communities. Meanwhile, 41 rainwater catchment facilities across SM properties can collectively store 85,400 cubic meters of water, enough to fill more than 34 Olympic-sized pools to help mitigate flooding in surrounding areas.

Enabling inclusive growth

Mr. Daniels also highlighted SM’s focus on inclusive development through its integrated city model, which combines retail, offices, hotels, convention centers, and education facilities such as National University (NU) campuses to meet the evolving needs of communities.

Over 100,000 MSME partners are part of SM Retail’s value chain, while SM’s banking arms, BDO and China Bank extended Php72 billion in loans to MSMEs in 2024.

SM has likewise invested in renewable energy through the Philippine Geothermal Production Company (PGPC), which operates geothermal steam fields in Tiwi, Albay and Mak-Ban in Laguna and Batangas, while exploring five additional concession areas, including Mt. Malinao in Albay.

“At the end of the day, our vision is serious. We’re not just here to be a big company. We’re here to help build and develop the communities we serve,” Mr. Daniels added.

About SM Investments Corporation

SM Investments Corporation is one of the leading Philippine companies that is invested in market-leading businesses in retail, banking, and property. It also invests in ventures that capture high growth opportunities in the emerging Philippine economy.

SM’s retail operations are the country’s largest and most diversified, consisting of grocery stores, department stores and specialty retail stores. SM’s property arm, SM Prime Holdings, Inc., is the largest integrated property developer in the Philippines with interests in malls, residences, offices, hotels, and convention centers as well as tourism-related property developments. SM’s interests in banking are in BDO Unibank, Inc., the country’s largest bank, and China Banking Corporation, the fourth largest private domestic bank.

Cloud Production Pioneer to Showcase Next-Generation Broadcast Technology Across Two Exhibition Spaces

CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TVU Networks, a leader in cloud-native video technology, will demonstrate its latest AI-powered broadcast solutions at Inter BEE 2025. The company will exhibit at two locations—Hall 7, Booth 7311, and the AI Pavilion at Hall 3, Booth 3502—during the event at Makuhari Messe from November 19-21.

With two decades of innovation behind it, TVU Networks continues to push the boundaries of live broadcasting. The company’s appearance at Inter BEE addresses the specific challenges facing Japan’s sophisticated broadcast ecosystem, where live event production increasingly demands coordination across multiple locations while traditional infrastructure creates bottlenecks that limit creative flexibility.

TVU’s recently launched TVU MediaMesh—unveiled at IBC 2025 in September—introduces “global shared memory for live video,” making live signals instantly accessible across cloud environments. By slashing configuration time from hours to minutes, MediaMesh addresses the primary barrier that has kept 99% of live productions from migrating to the cloud: the complexity of connecting sources, routing signals, and integrating diverse applications.

“We’ve been at the forefront of live video production technology since 2005,” said Tim Thorsteinson, VP of Sales Asia at TVU Networks. “As cloud-based broadcast pioneers, we’ve built solutions that automate technical complexity and unlock creative freedom without requiring traditional infrastructure investments.”

AI-Powered Innovation

At the AI Pavilion (Hall 3, Booth 3502), TVU will spotlight MediaMesh’s cloud-native ecosystem that integrates capture, production, and distribution workflows through AI automation and real-time collaboration. Its visual interface enables end-to-end workflow design, dramatically reducing learning curves. The platform’s open architecture has attracted support from industry leaders including Chyron, EVS, Grass Valley, Solid State Logic, and Vizrt through the MediaMesh Advisory Board.

TVU will also demonstrate TVU Search, which uses AI for automatic content recognition and indexing, and TVU Producer/Replay, which enables high-precision automated editing for real-time replay and highlight production.

These innovations represent a fundamental shift in how media content is acquired, produced, and distributed—driving intelligent transformation across the broadcast industry.

See the Technology in Action

TVU Networks invites broadcast professionals to experience these solutions firsthand at Inter BEE 2025. Technical experts will be available at both exhibition locations to provide hands-on demonstrations and discuss how TVU’s technology can support digital transformation initiatives across news, sports, entertainment, and live event production.
