DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the People’s Committee of Da Nang City, the Abu Dhabi Blockchain Center (ADBC), and Verichains Network Security Company Limited. This milestone underscores Bybit’s commitment to supporting Vietnam’s digital asset ecosystem and deepening long-term cooperation in building Da Nang into a hub for international finance and innovation.

Da Nang, one of Vietnam’s largest cities and a major economic center, has been approved to deploy a blockchain sandbox — making it a natural location for the country to pilot progressive policies and attract international partnerships in digital assets and blockchain technology. Under the MOU, the partners will jointly support the city’s vision to establish an International Financial Center (IFC) through three core pillars:

• Digital asset liquidity to connect Da Nang with global financial markets.
• Ecosystem connectivity to link Vietnam with leading international finance hubs.
• Infrastructure security to ensure a resilient, risk-controlled environment for blockchain innovation.

The partnership is key to translating national strategies into local implementation, ensuring that the IFC model is both policy-flexible and risk-controlled – minimizing exposure to threats targeting digital asset ecosystems.

The MOU underscores mutual commitments. Da Nang will facilitate administrative procedures for the partners to invest, open offices, and integrate into the IFC. In turn, Bybit and its partners will offer policy consultation on digital assets and blockchain technology, share international best practices, and support Da Nang in building a modern regulatory framework.

Helen Liu, Co-CEO of Bybit, said:

“Vietnam is an inspiring example of a nation embracing digital transformation, and we are honored to contribute to its journey. Bybit is committed to sharing our global expertise in blockchain and digital asset innovation to support Da Nang’s vision of becoming an International Financial Center. This partnership reflects our belief in building sustainable ecosystems hand in hand with governments, institutions, and trusted partners.”

This collaboration builds on Bybit’s earlier engagement in Vietnam. In April 2025, Bybit Co-Founder and CEO Ben Zhou met with H.E. Nguyen Van Thang, Minister of Finance of Vietnam, at the Ministry of Finance headquarters in Hanoi. During the meeting, Bybit expressed strong support for Vietnam’s regulatory sandbox initiative and its vision to establish a safe, transparent, and innovation-friendly digital asset ecosystem. Discussions focused on the Government’s plan to launch a pilot sandbox mechanism to test the issuance and trading of crypto assets in a controlled environment, with robust safeguards such as Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols to protect investors and strengthen financial security.

Today’s MOU marks a natural continuation of these efforts, reaffirming Bybit’s role as a long-term partner in Vietnam’s digital transformation journey.

GUANGZHOU, China, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 137th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) wrapped up in May 2025 with figures that underscore a pivotal shift in global trade. When buyer attendance from Europe and the United States grew 3.4%, emerging markets participation continued to rise. Countries along the Belt and Road Initiative sent 187,450 buyers, representing a 17.4% increase. Strong momentum was also seen from BRICS nations, which brought 72,417 buyers, a surge of 24.1%. Meanwhile, buyer attendance from RCEP member states reached 64,808, marking a 6.9% rise.

This trend reflects a broader rebalancing in the global economy. Amid persistent tariff pressures from the U.S. and mounting trade uncertainties, emerging markets are expanding their influence in global commerce and industry. Chinese companies are adapting quickly, moving beyond traditional markets and strengthening ties with developing economies. In the first half of 2025, China witnessed growing trade volume with over 190 countries and regions. 61 partners, up five year-on-year, had trade volume exceeding 50 billion yuan with China. China’s import and export with Belt and Road countries rose 4.7%.

Moreover, Chinese technology-intensive and high-value products have won broader recognition in developed and emerging markets alike. At the 137th Canton Fair, a Rwandan buyer, facing Africa’s digital shift, sealed a deal for LED/LCD displays to introduce smart solutions locally. A Pakistani buyer, noting the soaring demand for energy-saving appliances in his country, called the fair his top source for cost-effective, quality Chinese goods. These evolving demands are prompting Chinese companies to roll out new technologies, premium products, and innovative solutions tailored to emerging markets.

Leveraging its unmatched product portfolio and vast network of global buyers, the Canton Fair not only helps ease market entry barriers through its comprehensive offline supply chain connections but also opens new avenues for cross-border investment with its growing digital trade infrastructure. The Fair has connected Chinese exporters with new demand through thematic exhibitions, business matchmaking, and trade promotion programs. Additionally, its year-round online platform further enables suppliers and global buyers to interact seamlessly across time zones and geographies.

Looking ahead, the 138th Canton Fair, set to open in October, is expected to build on this momentum. As emerging markets continue to rise, the Fair is poised to play an even greater role in advancing trade cooperation and fostering mutual benefit in an evolving global economy.

HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Increasingly, AI is used in video security for various security and non-security objectives. Security-wise, AI can effectively detect intrusion and other suspicious events. Meanwhile, AI plays a key role in intelligent transportation, preventive maintenance and other non-security applications.

To boost the power of AI even further, large-scale AI models have emerged. Trained on large datasets, large-scale AI models promise to enhance detection accuracy, lower false alarm rates, and enable natural language-based smart search.

To get a further understanding on this rising AI technology, asmag.com and Hikvision have teamed up to conduct a survey examining large-scale AI models in video security.

75% are already adopting or planning to adopt large-scale AI-enabled devices

When asked “Are you currently using any products or solutions powered by large-scale AI models for video security,” over half, 55.4%, said yes, while 23.4% said no. Interestingly, nearly 20% said they were not using large-scale AI models at the moment but were are planning to. The responses highlight strong adoption rate and growth potential for large-scale AI models. Indeed, with the growing availability of large-scale AI products, such as Hikvision’s DeepinViewX cameras and AcuSeek NVRs, adoption of large-scale AI models is all but set to increase in the near term.

Large-scale AI models and their functionalities are often discussed in projects, specs, or client meetings

To the question “Have you recently seen large-scale AI models and their functionalities being discussed in projects, specs, or client meetings,” the responses strongly suggest the topic does come up on such occasions. The numbers are especially prominent for “intelligent object detection and classification,” where 57.7% of respondents say large-scale AI models are either “frequently discussed” or “actively influencing decisions.” This is followed by “automated security event detection and reporting” (57.1%) and “improved perimeter protection” (55.4%). The numbers highlight strong user awareness towards large-scale AI models, and discussions over the subject have even influenced users to acquire related products and solutions.

52% consider adoption “very important” for their future competitiveness 

To the question “How important do you think is adopting the latest large-scale AI models to the future of video security,” a significant 52.4% say it is “very important,” while 25.9% think it’s important. 18%, meanwhile, said it’s “moderately important.” This indicates users attach a greater importance to large-scale AI models, which are no longer viewed as a mere “nice-to-have” but may one day become a core component in video security.

Majority see clear operational value, including better efficiency and fewer errors

When asked “What value do you see in the emerging deployments or applications of large-scale AI models in video security so far,” a total of 73.4% cited “improved operational efficiency.” This is followed by: reduced human error (62%), better end-user experience (55.4%), and cost reduction (52.4%).
