The race reflects Hainan’s broader effort to link international sporting events with economic development and global engagement

SANYA, China, Jan. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 7th Hainan (Sanya) Marathon wrapped up on Sunday, attracting 14,000 participants from 20 countries and regions. Held under the theme “Run Past Your Limits. Straight to the Sea,” the event combined tropical coastal scenery with competitive racing through diverse race formats, enhanced services, and digital innovation. After a grueling race, China’s Yang Yuan won the women’s full marathon in 2:50:11, while Zhao Guohu claimed the men’s title in 2:23:21.

Zhao Guohu, winner of the men’s division, said the flat course and Sanya’s warm climate lend themselves to strong performances. He added that the energy and support of spectators and volunteers along the route helped create an especially memorable atmosphere.

To deliver a unique marathon experience in Sanya through the integration of sports, tourism, and culture, organizers reimagined the role of the aid stations. Cultural Tourism Experience Stations were positioned along the course. In addition to providing race support, the stations featured traditional crafts and folk arts, Li and Miao ethnic song and dance performances, tastings of local cuisine, and interactive culture-focused activities. Together, these elements offered runners a closer look at Sanya’s local character while adding cultural context and on-course engagement to the event.

In parallel, organizers provided runners with coordinated services covering accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, and shopping. Partner benefits included discounted hotel rates with late checkout, reduced airfare offers, and duty-free shopping perks. Digital initiatives included the issuance of blockchain-based digital commemorative medals, available for purchase through the Alipay platform. Virtual races hosted on Alipay, DingTalk, and Amap also enabled remote participation.

Yang Yong, General Manager of Events and Commercialization at event partner Orange Lion Sports (formerly Alibaba Sports), said organizers drew on resources across the Alibaba ecosystem – including Taobao, Fliggy, Alibaba Health, Ant Chain, and Amap – to broaden the event’s reach and connect more effectively with domestic and international running audiences, encouraging greater participation in event-related spending.

Since early 2024, Hainan has hosted over 700 sporting events, attracting more than 4 million spectators and generating over 7 billion yuan in consumer spending. With its favorable climate and natural setting, the Sanya Marathon continues to drive local economy through sport-tourism integration.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dreame Technology will exhibit at CES 2026 in Las Vegas from January 6 to 9. Its Wet & Dry Vacuum Business Unit will showcase core technologies and new products, highlighting the latest advancements in wet & dry vacuum cleaning within Dreame’s whole-home smart ecosystem, under the brand promise “All Dreams in One Dreame.”

Flagship Wet & Dry Vacuum Technologies on Display

Across two exhibition zones at the Las Vegas Convention Center (Central Hall, Booth 17726) and the Venetian Expo (Booth 52323), Dreame will showcase how its wet & dry vacuum innovations integrate heat, steam, and AI-powered assistance to simplify cleaning and deliver consistent results in real homes. Beyond individual features, these advancements reduce manual effort, minimize repeated passes, and address persistent deep-cleaning challenges faced by households worldwide.

These technology approaches are reflected across Dreame’s flagship wet & dry vacuum portfolio on display. H15 Pro Heat, a recipient of the CES 2026 Innovation Award, represents Dreame’s first hot water floor cleaning vacuum using 185°F (85°C) hot water and an AI robotic arm to loosen greasy residue and improve cleaning under low furniture and along edges through a 180° lie-flat design. Meanwhile, H16 Pro Steam features the world’s first dual AI robotic arms and a dual heat cleaning system, combining 392°F (200°C) steam with 194°F (90°C) water to support deeper, chemical-free sanitization for stubborn floor messes.

Why Wet & Dry Vacuums Matter

As modern households face increasingly diverse floor cleaning needs, traditional routines often require multiple tools and repeated steps to handle both wet spills and dry debris. Wet & dry vacuums address this challenge by combining vacuuming and floor washing into a single process, enabling everyday messes—such as liquids, crumbs, dust, and pet hair—to be cleaned in one pass. By reducing the need to switch between devices, this category helps simplify daily floor care and improve cleaning efficiency, making it well-suited for busy households, including families with children and pets.

DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, looks back at 2025 with highlights of mixed challenges and achievements. The exchange recounts its expansion from 50 million to 80 million registered users, global regulatory and compliance advancements, and trading highs across metrics amid market challenges. Despite the hacking incident in February, Bybit stood firm as the second largest centralized exchange, with 2025 marking the year it strengthened its ecosystem and solidified its position for future growth.

Global Regulatory Alignment

In July, Bybit’s Vienna-based operation secured full MiCA compliance across applicable EEA countries via local authorizations in Austria. In MENA’s blockchain and crypto hub, Bybit received the UAE’s first SCA Virtual Asset Platform Operator License in October, enabling full trading, custody, and fiat services nationwide. Bybit has also recently relaunched its services in the UK after a 2-year hiatus, now offering spot and P2P crypto trading for UK users by partnering with FCA-regulated Archax to comply with strict financial promotion rules, providing access to around 100 trading pairs.

Security: From Setback to Strength

In February 2025, Bybit faced a major cyberattack with approximately $1.4 billion in ETH stolen in an incident linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group. The attack proved to be the ultimate stress test for the exchange as it rose from defense to recovery and growth.

The platform ensured zero loss in client funds via its 1:1 reserve guarantee, restored reserves within 72 hours through partners’ support, and processed over 350,000 withdrawal requests in the initial 12 hours. The immediate actions taken not only helped Bybit avert the crisis, but also prevented the potential contagion effects across the crypto ecosystem.

In the aftermath, Bybit recovered BTC liquidity to $13 million daily in 30 days, surpassing industry benchmarks per Kaiko. In a report by Glassnode, analysts noted that ETH’s trading volume on Bybit reached a new daily all-time high of $8.5 billion despite the hack during the summer rally, reflecting the unwavering community trust and Bybit’s operational resilience and financial depth.

The breach also prompted Bybit’s security taskforce to evolve and build towards a new infrastructure that contributes to industry-wide safety. A slew of over 50 security upgrades were conducted after 9 security audits within a month, establishing new trust benchmarks. With the establishment of the Lazarus Bounty program, Bybit offers an open invitation for experts to join the hunt and potentially help other victims of crypto-related cybercrime.

Bybit Spot: Early Access Strategy, Year-Round Breakout Listings

In 2025, Bybit Spot consolidated its listing strategies to effectively identify and list quality assets ahead of the hype and market saturation. The platform excelled at early discovery and advanced access for its users, connecting Bybit traders to emerging opportunities uniquely found on Bybit. In January, TRUMP recorded up to 548% gains on Bybit. Community-led DeFi project TUNA surged 2,637% on its first day of listing on Bybit, and MET hit 255% on day one. These results demonstrate Bybit Spot’s forward-looking listing strategy in unlocking early market trends.

In real-world assets (RWA) tokenization, Bybit Spot also remained at the industry forefront. The platform pioneered incorporating RWA assets like XAUT, with the asset reaching 127% in gains, and launched xStocks for on-chain U.S. equity trading, leading the tokenized equities trend. Additionally, Bybit Spot unleashed up to $40 million in total rewards through projects like NXPC and NIGHT, mobilizing market momentum into tangible returns for users.

Through strategies focusing on ahead-of-the-curve market entry, early access, and user-centric mechanisms, Bybit Spot concluded an exciting year of traders.

Trading Volume, Hybrid Trading, and Ecosystem Strategy

Throughout 2025, Bybit has sustained its No. 2 spot among exchanges by monthly trading volume. The momentum carried on during the relatively quiet winter trading season and the broader market downturn, recording a 24-hour spot trading volume of $9.1 billion on December 22, 2025. 

Beyond the numbers, Bybit also intensified its all-inclusive strategies and ecosystem play. Now supporting all things on- and off-chain within one interface:

• The revamped Bybit Alpha enables Bybit users to navigate on-chain opportunities, discover the hottest tokens, and explore liquidity farming without leaving the Bybit app.
• Byreal, a Bybit-incubated Solana DEX launched in early October 2025, surpassed $1 billion in cumulative trading volume within 10 weeks, with $10.88 million TVL and top-10 Solana DEX rankings for 30-day fees, revenue, and supporting 40+ assets including tokenized RWAs.
• Launched in May 2025, Bybit TradFi debuted as the first major CEX platform to integrate gold, forex, global indices, commodities, and over 100 stock CFDs with up to 500x leverage for eligible users. In September, Bybit TradFi introduced 24/5 trading for 20+ stock CFDs including tech giants like NVDA, TSLA, and AAPL to align TradFi hours with crypto’s 24/7 model.
• Bybit also integrated xStocks in June 2025 with dozens of tokenized U.S. equities and ETFs via Backed Finance, offering 24/7 settlement on Solana for global access.
• Riding on regulatory wins in 2025, Bybit Institutional saw substantial institutional growth with asset inflows surging from $1.3 billion in Q3 to $2.88 billion in Q4, while its wealth management operation’s assets under management (AUM) expanded fivefold from $40 million to $200 million.
• Bybit Earn continues to offer innovative and diverse products including Mantle Vault, a stablecoin on-chain yield asset management product optimized for APR performance, which hit $52 million in AUM within 7 days of launching.
• Mantle’s strategic partnership with Bybit in 2025 introduced MNT as a multi-functional asset supporting fee discounts, institutional leverage trading, RWA tokenization, and high-yield staking opportunities on Bybit, while Bybit, Mantle, and other ecosystem partners collaborated to deliver institutional-grade DeFi liquidity solutions.
• Over 2 million Bybit Card users and expanding footprint of Bybit Pay attest to the ecosystem strength of Bybit, empowering users to make the most of their digital assets in everyday life, from buying a morning coffee to creating memories at Tomorrowland Brasil.

Whether traders are building a diversified portfolio in TradFi, gold, commodities, and crypto, seeking frictionless on-chain yield via Bybit Alpha and Bybit Earn, or going for the fully on-chain experience in Byreal, the Bybit ecosystem has it all.

WSOT: A Record-Breaking Year

Bybit’s flagship trading competition, the World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2025, featured a $10 million USDT prize pool, drawing record participation that earned Bybit a Guinness World Record title for the most participants in an online trading competition within 24 hours, with 71,765 unique active participants on August 27. WSOT 2025 generated $172.8 billion in total trading volume across 1,474 squads (up 288% YoY) and 520,451 traders from 202 countries and regions.

In this year’s WSOT, 300,000 USDT was pledged to blockchain education via the Bybit Rising Fund, empowering local communities with scholarships, hackathons and training.

Through inventive resilience and a collective growth mindset, Bybit turned 2025 around to be a year of quiet strength, celebrating over 80 million users by the end of 2025.

HANOI, Vietnam, Jan. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Travellive Media Group is pleased to announce the HOTLIST Travellive Editor’s Pick 2025 (HOTLIST 2025), a curated project honouring outstanding brands, destinations, and individuals that have made significant contributions to the development of Vietnam’s tourism industry over the past year.

HOTLIST is a expert-curated list reflecting the evolving values of the market at each stage of development. The selection process combines the expertise of a prestigious advisory council comprising both domestic and international experts, based on key criteria including quality, innovation, social impact, and sustainable growth potential.

Last year, HOTLIST 2024 made a strong impression on the tourism, hospitality, and service community by recognising more than 40 brands and 12 inspiring individuals across 28 categories spanning hospitality and resorts, destinations, technology, and experiential initiatives. The year also marked the first time HOTLIST expanded into a professional event series, featuring The Insiders Forum and the Honor Ceremony, attracting over 700 guests including senior business leaders and experts from various fields.

HOTLIST 2025: From Seed to Harvest

Entering 2025, HOTLIST is developed under the theme “From Seed to Harvest” inspired by rice, a symbol deeply rooted in Vietnam’s wet-rice civilisation and cultural identity. From planting ideas and nurturing resources to harvesting sustainable achievements, this metaphor reflects the authentic development journey of projects, brands, and destinations within the tourism and hospitality industry.

At a time when the tourism sector faces multiple challenges such as climate change, shifting traveller behaviour, and global competition, the spirit of “From Seed to Harvest” underscores the importance of long-term vision, perseverance, and adaptability.

This year, HOTLIST 2025 introduces a public voting component in the final evaluation stage, enabling the community and industry professionals to participate directly in the selection process. Beyond fostering engagement, this initiative also provides an opportunity for audiences to share their firsthand experiences with the shortlisted brands and projects.

HOTLIST 2025 Honourees

Each category aims to identify exemplary individuals and brands that play a guiding role in shaping the future of Vietnam’s tourism and hospitality industry.

This year’s list continues to acknowledge well-established brands such as Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An; Topas Ecolodge; Six Senses Ninh Van Bay; P’apiu Resort; Wink Hotels, among others. It also introduces international brands that have made a positive impact on the Vietnamese market, including voco Quang Binh Resort by IHG, Park Hyatt Phu Quoc, and Hyatt Place Halong Bay, Bai Chay. In the Aviation category, STARLUX AIRLINES was selected for its premium flight experience.

The expansion and diversification of award categories reflect HOTLIST’s commitment to comprehensively capturing industry dynamics, while encouraging responsible development models that respect local identity and generate positive social impact.

As part of its mission to deliver practical value to the tourism industry, HOTLIST 2025 will host The Insiders Forum in Hanoi (7 January 2026, Sheraton Hanoi West) and Ho Chi Minh City (19 January 2026, JW Marriott Hotel & Suites Saigon). The forums will gather business leaders, experts, and researchers to share insights and discuss key topics shaping tourism landscape.

On 19 January 2026, The Honor Ceremony will take place in Ho Chi Minh City to officially recognise and present certificates to the brands, projects, and individuals featured in HOTLIST 2025. The event will also serve as a B2B networking platform for industry stakeholders.

Through each edition, HOTLIST Travellive Editor’s Pick has gradually become a highly anticipated annual reference point for the tourism community, built on credibility, sustainability-driven orientation, and a series of professional programmes. Through recognition activities, dialogue forums, and community connections, Travellive not only highlights market excellence but also actively contributes to promoting sustainable thinking and elevating standards within tourism industry.
