European elegance, Middle Eastern character: The design story behind VinFast VF 8

An SUV that delivers both sophistication and an industry-leading peace-of-mind ownership experience.DUBAI, UAE - Media OutReach Newswire - 29 December 2025 - Middle Eastern buyers have long gravitated toward vehicles that project elegance, presence, and purpose. As electric mobility accelerates across the region, design continues to be a major factor in purchase decisions. VinFast responds to this expectation with the VF 8, an electric SUV whose aesthetic is rooted in European sophistication yet thoughtfully shaped to resonate with Middle Eastern roads, lifestyles, and sensibilities.

The VF 8's exterior was developed around a design philosophy VinFast calls "Dynamic Balance".

Security Tokenization Moves Toward Practical Adoption, BGEANX Exchange Highlights Compliance Framework

COLORADO, US - Media OutReach Newswire - 29 December 2025 - According to market sources, the security tokenization trading system of BGEANX Exchange has been completed and officially launched. Compared to earlier platforms that focused mainly on "on-chain" solutions, the present-day market cares more about whether related products have clear rules, stable operational capabilities, and can meet the needs of ordinary users. As a future trend in finance, investors are most concerned with the operating rules and settlement mechanisms of security tokenization. Public information shows that BGEANX Exchange has introduced DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) standards, completing the processes of trading, registration, clearing, and settlement—giving security tokens a clear operational order within the platform. The security tokenization products of BGEANX Exchange offer explicit rules at the regulatory level. Before participating in trading, users can clearly understand asset trading restrictions, settlement methods, and information disclosure requirements. For professional users, the clarity of these rules provides a more stable foundation for trading strategies and risk management arrangements. Market participants point out that the key to broader market participation in security tokenization is having a sound operational mechanism.

Security Tokenization Enters Operational Phase: BGEANX Exchange Enables Full Transaction and Settlement Workflow

COLORADO, US - Media OutReach Newswire - 29 December 2025 - Recently, BGEANX Exchange announced that its security tokenization trading system has been completed and officially launched.

For a long time, security tokenization has been regarded as an important direction for connecting traditional finance and the crypto industry. The challenge lies not in technological implementation, but in whether it can follow the settlement logic of mature securities markets. Without unified standards, it is often difficult to operate at scale and in compliance. In this newly launched security tokenization system, BGEANX has integrated with the DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) settlement framework, making the transaction, asset registration, clearing process, and operational mechanism of digital securities complete and closely aligned with the logic of traditional securities markets. Notably, BGEANX Exchange has simultaneously established a business rule system that matches the attributes of securities. In key areas such as product structure, investor access, information disclosure, and trading restrictions, it has introduced regulatory logic from traditional securities markets, providing clearer boundaries and rules. On the user experience side, investors can participate in stock and ETF ......read more

At present, the BGEANX RWA section covers various tradable assets, including US stocks and ETF products. Users can view the trading status, settlement methods, and related information for each asset, and configure their portfolios according to their own needs.

From a user perspective, the unified account system of BGEANX allows users from different countries and regions to participate in investments in US stocks and US-related assets, breaking geographical barriers. ......read more

New Opportunities in Southeast Asia's Digital Shift: Thailand Emerges as the New ASEAN's AI Hub

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 24 December 2025 – As global attention remains fixed on the AI race, Thailand is now carving out a new identity as an emerging "AI Hub for Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)." The government is steadily advancing its "Thailand 4.0" initiative, positioning the digital economy as the key driver of national transformation. The expansion of AI and data centers (DCs) in Thailand is driving several transformative trends: Changing data traffic patterns.

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, GERMANY - Media OutReach Newswire - 23 December 2025 - allnex has been awarded the EU Product Safety Award by the European Commission. This prestigious award recognizes allnex's early and comprehensive phase-out of PFAS-containing additives, an initiative that goes well beyond current legal requirements and delivers measurable benefits for consumer and environmental safety.

SIM Unlocks Career Agility Through Micro-Credentials

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 22 December 2025 - In today's fast evolving job market, traditional qualifications alone are no longer sufficient to guarantee career longevity. Employers increasingly value agility, digital fluency, and continuous learning qualities that micro credentials deliver in concise, impactful ways. Why Micro-Credentials Matter Micro credentials are short, focused courses designed to equip professionals with in demand skills quickly. Unlike full degree programs, they enable learners to upskill or reskill without disrupting their careers. For industries shaped by rapid technological change such as digital marketing, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and sustainability, these credentials are becoming essential for staying relevant. According to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025, 39% of workers' core skills will change by 2030, and 59% of the global workforce will need reskilling to meet evolving demands. This shift, driven by automation, AI, and sustainability imperatives, makes continuous learning a necessity rather than an option. Micro credentials bridge this gap by offering industry aligned, stackable learning experiences that can be completed in weeks rather than years. Research indicates that employers are 72% more likely to hire candidates with micro credentials, as these certifications validate practical, job ready skills. SIM's Commitment to Career Readiness SIM Global Education (SIM GE) is at ......read more
