Bybit’s Latest Proof-of-Reserves Shows Strong Asset Backing Across Key Holdings

DUBAI, UAE, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its 35th Proof-of-Reserves (PoR) report, reflecting asset balances as of April 22, 2026, as mainstream asset value tops $17.0B. Independently verified by Hacken, the latest disclosure shows reserve ratios for all major tracked assets exceeding 100%, indicating that user liabilities are fully backed by on-chain holdings.

The report underscores Bybit’s continued focus on transparency through the publication of verifiable reserve data, allowing users to confirm the status of custodial assets. The latest figures point to consistent overcollateralization across both major cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, with particularly strong buffers in USDC holdings and steady coverage in BTC and ETH reserves.

Key Metrics (as of April 22, 2026)

USDT Reserve Ratio: 107%
(User Assets: ~6.01 billion USDT | Wallet Holdings: ~6.47 billion USDT)

USDC Reserve Ratio: 159%
(User Assets: ~716.88 million USDC | Wallet Holdings: ~1,145.42 million USDC)

BTC Reserve Ratio: 109%
(User Assets: 44,566 BTC | Wallet Holdings: 48,986 BTC)

ETH Reserve Ratio: 102%
(User Assets: 433,877 ETH | Wallet Holdings: 445,886 ETH)

Stablecoin reserves show a wider margin above liabilities, while crypto asset coverage remains closely aligned with user balances, reflecting a balanced reserve structure. This distribution suggests a conservative approach to asset custody, maintaining excess reserves while preserving capital efficiency.

Chinese parents rank UK ahead of US as top destination for overseas study, According to New Research by Public First

LONDON, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — New research conducted by Public First for University College London (UCL) shows the UK is ahead of the US in one of the world’s most competitive international student markets, with Chinese parents more likely to choose Britain as their preferred destination for overseas study.

The survey of 1,274 adults in China found that 36.5% of Chinese parents name the UK as their preferred overseas study destination, compared with 27% for the United States and 18% for Australia.

This matters because the global race for international students is intensifying. The UK is ahead in a market that matters and now has an opportunity to turn that lead into long-term economic and strategic advantage.

The findings also show the scale of demand. 99.4% of Chinese parents say they want their children to attend university. 85.2% say they would encourage study abroad for a degree. 87.8% believe overseas study benefits young people in China.

Commenting on the research, Jess Lister, Director and Head of Higher Education at Public First said: “China is one of the most important markets for UK higher education, and this research shows Britain currently has a clear edge over key competitors, underpinned by the strength and reputation of its education offer.

But advantages like this cannot be taken for granted. In a more competitive global market, the UK will need to work actively to sustain its appeal.

If Britain wants to maintain its lead here, ministers should treat international education not as a peripheral issue, but as a core part of both China policy and trade policy”

Commenting on the research, Dr Michael Spence, President & Provost, University College London, said: “These findings are encouraging and highlight the strong interest among Chinese students and families in high–quality international education. They reflect what I have heard during my visit to China from parents, counsellors, headteachers and prospective students. With many excellent global options available, people are making thoughtful choices about where they will be academically stimulated, supported and valued.

For those considering study overseas, academic excellence is fundamental, but so too is the experience that institutions and national systems offer. At UCL, we are proud to foster open, intellectually rigorous academic communities where students from China and around the world feel welcome, respected and able to engage confidently with different perspectives.

Universities have a vital role not only in attracting international students, but in creating inclusive environments where diverse talents can thrive, contribute meaningfully, and be stretched in ways that prepare them for global futures.”

The UK hosted 143,200 Chinese students in 2024/25, while the US hosted 265,919. Even so, Chinese parents are more likely to choose Britain. The opportunity for the UK now is to convert that preference into lasting advantage.

About the research

Public First conducted an online survey for UCL of 1,274 adults aged 18 and over living in China. Results were weighted by age and gender group, region, and education level. The full research report is available to accredited media on request.

Key findings at a glance

  • UK vs US: 36.5% of Chinese parents name the UK as a top study destination, versus 27.0% for the US.
  • Near-universal ambition: 99.4% of Chinese parents want their children to attend university.
  • Pro-international: 85.2% would encourage their children to study abroad for a degree.
  • Broad endorsement: 87.8% believe studying abroad benefits young people in China.

AI for Global Civilization: China-Singapore Dialogue Held in Singapore


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2026 – AI for Global Civilization: China-Singapore Dialogue was held in Singapore on April 28. The event gathered around 100 participants, including experts, scholars, and representatives from Chinese and Singaporean academic institutions, cultural organizations, as well as technology and cultural enterprises. Participants engaged in in-depth discussions on China-Singapore digital industry cooperation and how digital and intelligent technologies empower inter-civilizational mutual learning. They also jointly showcased innovative achievements and frontier practices of both sides in the integrated field of culture and technology.

Event Highlights
Event Highlights

Opening remarks were delivered by Yuan Lin, Executive Assistant to the President of the Academy of Contemporary China and World Studies, and Wang Donghai, Associate Director of NUS Enterprise. Keynote speeches were delivered by Cai Yiyu, Professor at Nanyang Technological University; Director of the Computer-Aided Engineering Labs and The Strategic Research Program on Virtual Reality; Co-President of Association of Global Technomics Education and Exchange; Cui Kai, Director of the Digital Culture Promotion Department, Center for International Cultural Communication, China International Communications Group (CICG); and Yang Jianwei, Visiting Professor at the National University of Singapore.

Yuan Lin stated that the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology has injected new momentum into China-Singapore cultural exchanges. He stressed the importance of innovating cultural expression forms empowered by digital intelligence, upholding a correct value orientation in technological application, deepening people-to-people exchanges enabled by smart technologies, and actively exploring the profound value of intelligent technologies in advancing cross-cultural understanding.

Wang Donghai pointed out that it is essential to prioritize the integration of technological applications with social needs. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence to build bridges for civilizational exchange helps enhance cross-cultural understanding, enabling technology to better serve humanity and drive social progress.

Cai Yiyu noted that Singapore is forging ahead in cutting-edge fields including semiconductors, aerospace and artificial intelligence, opening up broad prospects for bilateral cooperation between China and Singapore. He emphasized that digital and intelligent technologies can be harnessed to revitalize and inherit traditional culture via youthful, trendy formats, thereby further deepening scientific, technological and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.

Cui Kai stated that intelligent imaging technology is profoundly reshaping the logic of cross-cultural narrative. Digital content creation is not merely about keeping pace with technological advancement; more importantly, it should take emotional resonance as the bond to break down cultural barriers, foster in-depth empathy, mutual learning and appreciation among global civilizations, and enable more outstanding civilizational achievements to be seen, understood and respected worldwide.

Yang Jianwei noted that artificial intelligence is becoming an important vehicle for inter-civilizational mutual learning, while cultural differences remain a core obstacle to cross-cultural communication. He advocated for the innovative and rational use of artificial intelligence in the future to eliminate prejudices and enhance civilizational understanding through technological power.

In the Case Sharing Session, guest speakers included Lisa Meng, Head of Singapore of Tencent Cloud International; Koh Chin Yee, Managing Director of Singapore Eye; Bai Yu, Director and Partner of LAiPIC; Hu Chengchen, Founder & CEO of ClariPpi (Singapore); Jane Zhao, SVP and Head of Global Business at Mininglamp Technology; and Jerry Tuo, AI Technology Director of Red Fun Planet. They delivered insightful presentations on the application prospects of artificial intelligence in content production as well as inter-civilizational mutual learning and exchange.

The participating guests agreed that artificial intelligence has brought revolutionary changes to the intelligent production, targeted communication and immersive presentation of cultural content. China and Singapore boast strong complementarity in digital infrastructure and cultural resources. Going forward, the two sides may deepen cooperation in joint research and development and scenario-based application, develop benchmark cultural-technology products and integrated solutions tailored for Southeast Asia, and jointly advance the high-quality development of the digital cultural industry.

This event was jointly hosted by the Academy of Contemporary China and World Studies and the Center for International Cultural Communication,CICG, with Nanyang Technological University and other cultural and business exchange institutions participating as supporting partners.

Tracking the unseen: How Chinese agricultural experts tackle invisible pollution in Yangtze River protection


BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2026 – Since June 2021, the central committees of China’s non-Communist political parties and non-Party personages have been entrusted by the Communist Party of China (CPC[1] ) Central Committee with a five-year democratic oversight over the environmental protection of the Yangtze River. Democratic supervision extends from the glaciers on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau to the East China Sea, covering the whole Yangtze basin. It has evolved into a practical tool for Yangtze conservation, helping to better protect the river while serving the people.

Agricultural non-point source pollution is a globally challenging problem for Yangtze ecological protection, as it is mostly hidden from view. During an inspection trip to Jiangxi’s Poyang Lake region in 2023, Zhao Lixin, a non-party personage and honorary director of Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development in Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences , precisely pinpointed the key pain point: excessive total phosphorus in the water caused by nitrogen and phosphorus runoff from nearby farmland.

The inspection team went beyond identifying frontline issues to putting their expertise into practice on site. In response to local climate conditions and farming patterns, the team integrated and advanced an optimized set of agricultural management and treatment technologies. As a result, they successfully reduced surface runoff losses of nitrogen and phosphorus from rice paddies by 40 percent.

Over the past five years, the non-Party personages have submitted five democratic oversight reports and produced nearly 20 special research reports. Many of their recommendations have been incorporated into special programs of China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
