The bold and daring outfit was chosen as a nod to her advocacy for women’s empowerment – showcased in the six-episode animation series that preceded the launch of her smash hit new single “Goodbye Princess”. Committed to being the face of this new wave of women’s empowerment, she has also thrown her support behind four charities for women under her #EmpowerHer initiative. The initial charities are Beats By Girlz, Women in Music, Daughters Of Tomorrow and Teen’s Key.

Tia’s animation series attained over 100 million views, this created such a buss about “Goodbye Princess” (produced in conjunction with Grammy award-winning producer Swizz Beatz) that it was destined to become a global hit. What made “Goodbye Princess” more unique was that it marked the first time Swizz Beatz had worked on a Chinese song. He had previously focused on collaborations with the world’s most adored artists, such as Justin Bieber, Jay-Z and Madonna.

A subsequent remix of “Goodbye Princess” was released by Grammy award-winning female DJ duo NERVO, who have come on board as ambassadors of Tia’s #EmpowerHer campaign. The song racked up a colossal number of views as Tia became the fastest artist to break 100 million hits on YouTube within 20 days with a C-pop song.

With her appearance at London Fashion Week, Tia Lee further spoke to her own transformation and signalled that she wants other women to join her #EmpowerHer campaign.

Bybit Takes VIP Program to the Next Level With Major Upgrades and Improvements

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – Media OutReach – 10 March 2023 – Bybit, the world’s third most visited crypto exchange, has revamped its VIP program to thank its loyal community for its continued support. The new program introduces expanded tiers and reduced requirements to help traders take greater advantage of the next level opportunities offered by Bybit’s powerful platform.

The new VIP program will expand the number of VIP tiers from three to five with a new “supreme VIP” tier. The trading volume requirement has also been adjusted across the tiers to make it easier for traders to reach higher levels and is significantly less than Binance and some other leading exchanges.

The asset balance to access Bybit’s VIP tiers two and three has been halved to $250K and $500K, respectively. And trading volume across spot and derivatives markets will be aggregated and taken into account when assigning access.

In the new system, maker and taker fees for derivatives can be as low as 0.00% and 0.03% creating more room for traders to benefit from Bybit’s next level products and institutional services. VIPs can also unlock bonus benefits such as their own account managers and private events and gifts.

Experienced traders will be able to switch to Bybit’s VIP program immediately using trading volume from other exchanges, without the need to build up their trading volume from scratch. Furthermore, VIPs from other exchanges will receive a higher level than before. For example, if their derivatives trading volume on another exchange was $70,000,000 (equivalent to Bybit VIP 3), they’ll get bumped up to VIP 4 on Bybit. Non-VIPs can still enjoy amazing perks through Bybit’s exclusive offers — like the 14-day free trial card and a special welcome gift when you deposit more than $50K.

Bybit devised the new program as part of its “listen, care, improve” philosophy after listening carefully to feedback from its community members and reflecting on how to best help them succeed. Bybit is in constant communication with its community and is always looking for ways to better help them increase their opportunities and earnings.

“Our mission at Bybit is to empower traders around the world by providing them with the tools they need to succeed in today’s fast-paced crypto market,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We believe that our revamped VIP Program is a significant step toward achieving this goal, and we look forward to continuing to innovate and improve for the benefit of our clients.”
