SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — VITURE, the leader in everyday XR wearables, today announced its first-ever collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED (CDPR), creators of Cyberpunk 2077. To celebrate the game’s fifth anniversary, the two companies have co-designed the VITURE × Cyberpunk 2077 5th Anniversary Collector’s Edition, a limited-run release that brings the aesthetic of Night City to life through next-generation XR technology.

The collaboration merges VITURE’s industry-leading XR hardware with CD PROJEKT RED’s signature visual identity, where translucent shells hint at circuitry beneath, edges glow like back-alley signage, and every design choice feels ripped straight from the underbelly of a future megacity. The result is a device that looks less like consumer tech and more like gear you’d pull from a ripperdoc’s case.

“Cyberpunk 2077 has always pushed the boundary between reality and the digital, a truly genre-defining game.” said David Jiang, Founder and CEO of VITURE. “Working with CD PROJEKT RED to bring Night City’s aesthetic into wearable form has been a dream. This isn’t just merchandise, it’s an interface. A portal to anywhere.”

A Fusion of Technology and Culture

This marks CD PROJEKT RED’s first partnership with an XR brand, merging the artistry of one of gaming’s most iconic worlds with VITURE’s award-winning XR engineering.

The Collector’s Edition is limited to 10,000 serialized units (CP0000 – CP9999) worldwide, with one unit numbered #2077 in tribute to the title that inspired it. Each pair features a semi-translucent, neon-infused design created by CD PROJEKT RED’s own art team, echoing the luminous streets of Night City, a collector’s-grade reimagining of Kiroshi optics.

Next-Gen Visuals, Built for Gamers

Modeled after the premium VITURE Luma Pro and powered by the same stunning visuals as VITURE Luma Ultra, the Cyber Edition features SONY’s latest MicroOLED panel combined with VITURE’s proprietary optical technology. The result: a 152-inch virtual display, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and up to 1,500 nits of brightness—delivering ultra-crisp, ultra-vibrant visuals anywhere you go.

Engineered for seamless compatibility across all major handhelds, it works perfectly with Steam Deck, MSI Claw 8 AI+, ASUS ROG Ally, Legion Go, and more.

The Luma Cyber limited-edition also brings first-ever immersive support for Switch 2 when paired with the VITURE Pro Mobile Dock, giving players full-screen MicroOLED gameplay and multiplayer anywhere, no TV or monitor needed. And yes, it’s absolutely perfect for diving into Cyberpunk 2077 on the go.

With its lightweight form factor (~79 g) and built-in –4.0 D myopia adjustment, the glasses deliver both comfort and precision, whether you’re exploring Night City with Johnny Silverhand or streaming your favorite titles.

From Braindance Fantasy to Real-World XR

In Cyberpunk 2077, Braindance captures the sensation of stepping inside a moment, seeing, feeling, and experiencing scenes with impossible clarity. With the VITURE × Cyberpunk 2077 5th Anniversary Collector’s Edition, that idea becomes tangible through VITURE’s Immersive 3D Mode, a proprietary technology that adds depth and spatial realism to any 2D content in real time.

Powered by advanced AI and VITURE’s custom 3D algorithms, Immersive 3D analyzes every frame and reconstructs natural-looking depth, creating a layered, atmospheric 3D effect without sacrificing responsiveness or visual fidelity. For Cyberpunk 2077 players, it means Night City’s neon-drenched streets feel even more dimensional, textured, and alive, especially on handhelds.

Immersive 3D supports movies, games, cloud services, and apps across Windows, Android, iOS, and Mac, with customizable depth levels and dedicated modes for gaming or cinematic viewing. Running on a high-end gaming laptop, it transforms everyday content into an experience that feels closer to Braindance than anything any wearable has ever achieved.

A Collector’s Piece Worth Wearing

Limited to just 10,000 serialized units, each pair is crafted in collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED’s own art team—translucent, angular, and unmistakably born from Night City. Every VITURE × Cyberpunk 2077 Collector’s Edition comes in premium co-branded packaging, complete with a unique serial number and a certificate of authenticity worthy of any true Cyberpunk fan.

Priced at $549 USD, the collection drops on December 10, 2025, exclusively at VITURE.com and select global retail partners.

A wearable collectible. A display masterpiece. A slice of Night City—made real.

DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced The World Crypto Rankings (WCR) 2025, developed in partnership with DL Research. This comprehensive, data-rich report reveals how 79 countries and territories are integrating crypto into the fabric of their societies. Unlike rankings that focus on a single dimension, Bybit’s WCR draws comprehensively on 28 metrics and 92 data points. This multidimensional approach not only identifies today’s market leaders but also uncovers the forces driving emerging contenders, while providing actionable insights into the evolving opportunities and challenges facing industry leaders, policymakers and users worldwide.

Global Crypto Adoption Beyond the Numbers

Factors driving global crypto adoption are more diverse than ever, ranging from real-world utility, grassroots-level necessity, technological advancement, regulatory clarity, and economic instability. While higher-income countries often benefit from better infrastructure and access, lower-income nations may adopt out of necessity. The biggest crypto hubs are not always those with the largest economies, but there’s a clear positive relationship between GDP per capita and overall crypto adoption.

• Singapore (#1): Leads the world in crypto adoption, thanks to regulatory clarity, institutional maturity and strong cultural engagement. Over 11% of Singaporeans hold crypto and its robust licensing regime attracts global exchanges and fintechs. The next phase will focus on expanding retail and transactional use.
• United States (#2): The largest and most influential crypto market globally. The landmark ETF approvals, the GENIUS Act, and a pro-crypto government have made the US a magnet for institutional capital. The country also leads in DeFi volumes, CEX flows, and Lightning adoption.
• Lithuania (#3): Has become a European entry point for crypto exchanges and service providers under MiCA. Most of the firms licensed in Lithuania operate globally rather than focusing on the local market. As a regulatory and licensing hub with an open financial system and a digitally fluent population, Lithuania has an outsized influence on the European crypto market. However, a modest population means domestic transaction volumes are limited.
• Switzerland (#4): Stands out as the most structurally complete crypto adopter in Western Europe. It has an elite infrastructure, strong regulatory clarity independent of MiCA, and unmatched cultural legitimacy, combined with a global respected financial system. High trust in institutions, unmatched cultural legitimacy, and deep technical talent position Switzerland to lead in policy, custody infrastructure, and research.
• United Arab Emirates (#5): Has not only established itself as MENA’s regional hub for asset tokenization pilots and settlement systems, but also become the de facto bridge between Asia, Europe, and Africa in tokenized finance. The UAE combines the ambitious VARA policy frameworks in Dubai with grassroots remittance-driven usage and one of the world’s highest user penetration rates.

Stablecoins Lead Global Crypto Adoption as the Top Digital Asset Use Case

As digital assets move from the periphery to the core of economic life, users worldwide are increasingly relying on stablecoins as safe havens in times of instability, workarounds for barriers in legacy banking systems, tools for cross-border payments, and gateways to DeFi. Stablecoins are not just the most widely adopted, but also the most evenly distributed crypto use case.

While USD-pegged stablecoins dominate global volumes, more countries are developing or encouraging local currency stablecoins. These aim to improve domestic payment efficiency, reduce reliance on the US dollar, and provide a regulated alternative to informal markets. Local stablecoins are increasingly positioned as tools of monetary sovereignty as well as financial innovation.

The report highlighted three aspects of stablecoins’ impact in the next phase of adoption: bringing about regulatory convergence, further institutional integration, and global fiat currency competition. In many regions, these local-currency stablecoins will complement rather than replace dollar-pegged tokens, serving different functions: local units for payments and commerce, and USD- pegged assets for savings and capital preservation.

Unlocking New Opportunities with Real-World Asset Tokenization

Running parallel to the rise of stablecoins is the accelerating trend of tokenization, the process of representing real-world assets (RWAs) such as bonds, equities and real estate on the blockchain. In advanced hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong, tokenization is moving from pilot projects to regulated markets, enabling fractional ownership and blockchain-based settlement. Tokenization not only increases market efficiency and transparency but also attracts global capital, positioning Asia-Pacific as a leader in next-generation finance and laying the groundwork for a more inclusive and liquid global marketplace.

Since January, the total onchain value of RWAs, excluding stablecoins, has increased by more than 63%, rising from approximately $15.8 billion to over $25.7 billion. This growth marks a structural shift in how capital markets have started integrating tokenized assets into their regular operations. Countries most likely to benefit from this shift are the ones ranking highly on the Institutional Readiness pillar (United States, Canada, Lithuania, Poland, and the Philippines). These jurisdictions already have the legal frameworks, market infrastructure, and institutional readiness needed to support large-scale tokenization.

On-chain Payrolls New Norm for the Global Workforce

Crypto payrolls are transforming from an informal arrangement among crypto-native contractors into a regulated, scalable payment method for the global workforce. The share of professionals receiving part of their salary in crypto has risen from 3% last year to 9.6% this year, with stablecoins accounting for over 90% of the payments.

In high-remittance and remote-work economies such as the UAE and the Philippines, stablecoins are increasingly being used to pay workers, freelancers and gig economy participants. This trend is making crypto a part of daily financial life for millions, bypassing the delays and fees of traditional remittance channels and providing families with faster, more reliable access to income. As more users and enterprises embrace this approach, the boundaries between local and global labor markets dissolve further as financial empowerment reaches communities that have long been underserved by traditional finance.

The adoption of regulated crypto payroll is expected to accelerate along two main corridors:

1. Global financial and technology hubs such as the UAE, US, Singapore, and Hong Kong where legal clarity, deep fintech infrastructure, and high-value industries are making onchain salaries a viable option for both domestic and international employees.
2. Emerging economies with large remote workforces and strong demand for stablecoins, such as the Philippines, Kenya, and Brazil where onchain payroll offers a way to bypass costly and slow correspondent banking, while still meeting domestic labor laws and tax obligations.

Inside the Evolving Crypto Landscape

These trends are not isolated; they are deeply interconnected. The adoption of local stablecoins makes payments and remittances more efficient, which in turn supports the growth of tokenized assets and on-chain salaries. As more people use crypto for real-world needs, the demand for robust, regulated and innovative financial products continues to grow, creating a virtuous cycle that propels the entire ecosystem forward.

The digital asset class is becoming increasingly integrated into global financial systems. By 2026, countries that develop clear regulatory frameworks and infrastructure to integrate crypto will be positioned to capture tax revenue, attract talent, and foster innovation, while those maintaining restrictive approaches may see activity migrate to jurisdictions with more developed frameworks. Policymakers face two choices: developing frameworks that integrate crypto into formal financial systems, or maintaining more cautious stances through existing licensing regimes while evaluating risks and benefits.

“Rigorous, independent research is essential for driving meaningful innovation in blockchain and crypto. Bybit is proud to have played a supportive role in bringing the WCR to life with DL Research, a leader in Web3 insights and analytics,” said Helen Liu, Co-CEO of Bybit. “We’re witnessing a pivotal moment where blockchain technology is transitioning from experimentation to real-world integration across finance, commerce, and governance. The talent, innovation, and momentum we’re seeing globally signal that we’re building the foundational infrastructure for a more inclusive and efficient digital economy,” she noted.

“Partnering with Bybit on the World Crypto Ranking Report lets us bring DL Research’s onchain data together with a truly global trading perspective. This kind of collaboration is essential if we want to move the industry toward more transparent, evidence-based decisions, and we are excited to keep building on this work in future editions,” said Ryan Celaj, Head of Research at DL Research.

The World Crypto Rankings Report is available now, offering a multidimensional, standardized and narrative-driven view of global crypto adoption. For anyone invested in the future of finance, this report serves as a compass for the decisions and debates that will shape the next era of digital finance.
