Bitget Expands Agent Hub Ecosystem Through MuleRun Partnership to Advance Agentic Trading

 

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 2 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), announced a strategic product partnership with MuleRun, an industry-leading self-evolving AI Agent, to launch a personal AI-powered trading assistant that brings institutional-grade market signals to everyday investors through natural language.

MuleRun is a self-evolving personal AI platform that lets users deploy workflows through natural language with no technical setup. It runs 24/7 on cloud-based virtual machines and is built to keep tasks, monitoring, and scheduled jobs running continuously, even when users are offline.

The collaboration marks a new milestone in AI-driven trading infrastructure as professional-level financial intelligence becomes more accessible to mainstream users. Through the integration of Bitget Agent Hub’s AI financial data ecosystem with MuleRun’s always-on personal AI environment, users can now access structured market analysis, monitor opportunities across asset classes, and build automated trading workflows through simple conversation, without requiring technical expertise.

The launch reflects a broader shift in investor behavior. As markets become more interconnected and volatility spreads across crypto, equities, commodities, currencies, and macro-driven assets, users are looking for systems that can do more than display data. They want intelligent tools that can interpret live information, track multiple markets continuously, and deliver timely, actionable insights in a form that is easy to use. For many retail investors, the core barriers remain the same: market data is too complex, round-the-clock monitoring is difficult, and AI hallucinations when timeliness and reliability of market data are uncertain.

This partnership is designed to address those constraints across data, intelligence, security, and execution. Through Bitget Agent Hub, MuleRun users gain access to a financial analytics framework spanning 19 data tools across crypto, U.S. equities, gold, crude oil, forex, A-shares, on-chain metrics, social sentiment, and 16 macroeconomic indicators including CPI, GDP, and FOMC decisions. Bitget’s Skill Hub further translates this data into specialized AI capabilities across macro analysis, technical analysis, sentiment analysis, market intelligence, and news briefings, making advanced financial interpretation available through plain-language interaction.

“We see a clear shift toward trading environments where analysis, monitoring, and execution are increasingly unified,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Partnering with MuleRun helps us move in that direction by combining Bitget’s market intelligence capabilities with a highly accessible personal AI interface.”

The integration signals Bitget’s continued push toward an agent-native trading future, where AI does more than assist with information retrieval and becomes a persistent market companion capable of observing conditions, surfacing signals, and supporting action in real time. Through Agent HubGetClaw, and its broader Universal Exchange architecture, Bitget is building the infrastructure layer for this next phase of trading, one in which intelligent agents operate securely across analysis, automation, and execution within a single connected environment.

SME BANK RECORDS APPROXIMATELY RM4.3 BILLION APPROVED FINANCING IN 2025 TO ACCELERATE MSME GROWTH



KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 (Bernama) -- Small Medium Enterprise Development Bank Malaysia Berhad (“SME Bank” or “the Bank”) recorded a strong performance for 2025, with total approved financing of approximately RM4.3 billion, marking a 19% year-on-year increase. The growth reflected sustained demand across key strategic sectors including Bumiputera development, technology and innovation, digital adoption, climate-resilient initiatives, the halal industry, and tourism, in alignment with Bank Negara Malaysia’s (“BNM”) Performance Measurement Framework (“PMF”) and the MADANI Economic Framework.

Samad Majid Zain, Relief President/Chief Executive Officer of SME Bank, said “SME Bank’s performance in 2025 reaffirms our developmental mandate in strengthening Malaysia’s MSME ecosystem. Total approved financing grew 19% year-on-year to approximately RM4.3 billion, with approximately RM3.8 billion channelled to MSMEs, representing approximately 20% increase from the previous year, while more than 60% of customers secured financing of RM1 million and below, underscoring our continued focus on widening access for underserved and unserved entrepreneurs. This progress is further reinforced by the Government’s trust in the Bank, with close to RM2 billion in strategic initiatives mandated under National Budget 2026 to accelerate inclusive MSME growth and strengthen enterprise resilience across the economy.”

“Beyond financing, SME Bank delivered integrated solutions encompassing capacity building and targeted advisory support. In 2025, the Bank supported more than 14,500 entrepreneurs through our overall developmental, social and financial inclusion initiatives. These efforts support the continued strengthening of Malaysia’s MSME ecosystem, which contributes close to 40% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”), equivalent to more than RM650 billion in economic value, underscoring the sector’s critical role in driving inclusive growth, employment and economic resilience,” he added.

STRENGTHENING MSME CAPABILITIES, ADVANCING MARKET ACCESS AND DRIVING INCLUSIVE GROWTH

SME Bank advances its developmental mandate through targeted interventions that build stronger enterprises, reinforce business resilience and widen market opportunities, particularly among underserved segments of the economy. In doing so, capacity building initiatives, social finance solutions and export acceleration programmes help drive income growth, encourage digital adoption and strengthen the competitiveness of Malaysian businesses. Building on these efforts, the Bank also supports the expansion of the halal economy by enabling enterprises to attain certification standards, integrate into halal value chains and capture growing global demand. Complementing these initiatives, international business matching platforms connect local companies with overseas buyers, facilitating greater cross-border trade opportunities.

Collectively, these initiatives reinforce the MSME ecosystem by advancing sustainable business growth, productivity, value creation and job creation, in line with the outcomes of the PMF to drive inclusive economic development nationwide. For more information, visit www.smebank.com.my.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 30 (Bernama) -- The East Japan Railway Foundation for Cultural Innovation has opened MoN Takanawa: The Museum of Narratives, a new cultural hub featuring a striking exterior designed by KENGO KUMA & ASSOCIATES.

Located within Takanawa Gateway City near Shinagawa Station, the museum is operated by the foundation established by East Japan Railway Company, according to a statement.

The Takanawa area carries an innovative legacy as the birthplace of Japan’s first railway in 1872. The preserved Takanawa Embankment reflects this heritage and aligns with the museum’s mission of “transporting culture to the next hundred years”.

As an “Experimental Museum”, MoN Takanawa presents cross-disciplinary programmes spanning traditional arts, technology, science, and entertainment under a shared “Season Theme”, developed in collaboration with partners in Japan and internationally.

“MoN”, meaning “gate” and “question” in Japanese, reflects the museum’s concept of being “a gateway for all, a narrative for everyone”, bringing together diverse people, objects and ideas to shape new cultural narratives.

The museum offers a range of spaces designed for various cultural programmes, including 1,500 square metres of exhibition space, a full-stage LED theatre and a 100-mat tatami hall, along with public amenities such as terraces, restaurants, a café and a museum shop.

Visitors can also experience upcycled furniture, including pieces made from railway forest wood and items repurposed from Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai.

From March to September 2026, MoN Takanawa will present nine programmes under its opening season theme, “Life as Culture”, featuring an exhibition that explore human creativity across art, science, technology and traditional culture, and a performance which brings Osamu Tezuka’s manga masterpiece to life through a monumental, immersive live experience.
