EBC Bags BrokersView Best Trading Experience Award, Strengthening Global Leadership

Two prestigious awards presented to EBC Financial Group

EBC Financial Group won the “Best Trading Experience” Award, and senior analyst Al Hamidi received the “Best Innovative Trading Strategy” Award at the 2024 BrokersView and FastBull ceremonies in Vietnam.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — At the BrokersView Award Ceremony in Vietnam in September 2024, EBC Financial Group (EBC) was awarded the “Best Trading Experience” Award, once again solidifying its position as a world-class leader in the financial industry specialising in forex, CFDs, and stocks. The latest award recognised EBC’s commitment to facilitating the most robust trading conditions and delivering an exceptional trading experience.

Although the global forex trading market is growing at a rapid pace and is expected to surpass US$10 trillion by 2028 (Source: Yahoo Finance), participation in this increasingly popular financial planning tool is marred by widespread misinformation and volatility, leading to a lack of trust among traders (Source: Finance Magnates). EBC aims to address these challenges by fostering a stable and reliable trading environment, guided by its core belief that every investor engagement should receive the seriousness and sincerity it deserves.

Al Hamidi of EBC Financial Group received the “Best Innovative Trading Strategy” Award at the FastBull 2024 Trading Influencers Awards for his outstanding contributions to market strategy.

EBC’s growth in emerging markets, particularly in Southeast Asia, Latin America, India and Africa, is part of the company’s commitment to empowering traders with access to robust financial ecosystems, which have traditionally been underserved by major financial institutions.

BrokersView: An Industry-Leading Broker Review Platform
BrokersView, a FastBull brand, is a leading financial information portal that helps investors identify suitable brokers quickly and efficiently. Winning the “Best Trading Experience Award” was no easy feat among a sea of strong contenders. In evaluating EBC for their 2024 awards, BrokersView conducted a rigorous assessment of EBC on six key aspects – trading speed, stability, liquidity, slippage, spreads, and swap rates.

Real-time data was examined for predetermined trading conditions and, ultimately, EBC’s tailored trading platform, featuring fast and optimal order executions, low spreads, and 24/7 customer service, helped the firm stand out as a mark of assurance and played a crucial role in securing this prestigious award.

EBC’s mission as a global brokerage group is to create a superior trading ecosystem that empowers traders worldwide.

Moreover, security and confidentiality are paramount at EBC.

Celebrating A Spirit of Excellence
Adding to the accolades at the BrokersView Award Ceremony, EBC’s senior analyst, Al Hamidi, was also honoured with the “Best Innovative Trading Strategy” Award at the FastBull 2024 Trading Influencers Awards Ceremony, which was held in conjunction with the BrokersView Award Ceremony; the FastBull 2024 Trading Influencers Awards Ceremony is aimed to celebrate individuals with outstanding contributions to the industry.

With over a decade of related experience, Hamidi has been spearheading theoretical advancements in market strategy analysis and relevant compliance research. His expertise in disaster recovery and business continuity protocols (BCP) was instrumental in helping EBC agilely navigate market events like the CrowdStrike outage in 2024. This award highlights the wealth of experience and expertise within EBC’s diverse team, and the group’s efforts to foster a culture of learning through financial literacy and knowledge sharing.

The latest haul brings EBC’s total awards tally in 2024 thus far to seven. Most recently in August 2024, EBC was named the Best Broker in the Asia Pacific region at the Finance Magnates Annual Awards.

Looking ahead, EBC Financial Group remains focused on its global development roadmap, delivering the ultimate trading experience and keeping traders at the core of its operations. The company’s longstanding goal remains unchanged: to empower traders with informed decisions and to be their trusted partner on every trading journey.

LYB lays foundation for 1st industrial-scale advanced recycling plant at Wesseling, Germany, site

Symbolic foundation stone laying LYB MoReTec-1

Minister Mona Neubaur, LYB EVP Yvonne van der Laan, Manager LYB Wesseling Stephan Staender, Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Prime-Minister Hendrik Wuest, LYB CEO Peter Vanacker symbolically lay the foundation stone for MRT-1 in Wesseling.

Catalytic pyrolysis unit in heart of Europe to bolster sustainable growth, value creation

  • Chancellor Scholz, top elected officials attend milestone event; celebrate company commitment to Cologne region
  • Proprietary LYB MoReTec technology enables scalable solution to recapture valuable raw materials from hard-to-recycle plastics often destined to landfill, incineration
  • Unit’s design and process technology enable high plastic-to-plastic yield; allow for operation under 100% renewable power, helping reduce GHG emissions

WESSELING, Germany, Sept. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LyondellBasell (NYSE: LYB) today advanced its journey toward sustainable growth and value creation by laying the foundation of its first, catalytic advanced recycling plant at its Wesseling, Germany site. German Chancellor Scholz and Minister-President Wüst attended the celebrations, underscoring the project’s importance for both the region’s and Germany’s goals for a circular, low carbon economy.
Targeted startup for the new unit is set for 2026, as part of the company’s strategy to build a profitable Circular and Low Carbon Solutions business.

Using LYB proprietary MoReTec technology, this plant will be the first commercial scale, single-train advanced recycling plant, designed to demonstrate its capability for further scalability. This unit will convert pre-treated, mixed waste plastic into raw materials to produce new plastic polymers that will be sold under the LYB CirculenRevive brand. These polymers complement the company’s offerings in mechanically recycled and renewable-based polymers marketed respectively under CirculenRecover and CirculenRenew branding.

“Germany is a strong location for the chemical industry and the new LYB plant in Wesseling represents the future viability of this industry. As the first large-scale industrial plant for chemical plastic recycling, it is a significant step towards a circular economy”, said Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “The German government is committed to strengthening and further enhancing Germany as a location for the chemical industry.”

“With investments like these, we are creating solutions and addressing rising demand for more sustainable products from our customers and society,” said LYB CEO Peter Vanacker. “The new facility has the potential to turn back hard to recycle, processed mixed plastic waste of more than 1.2 million German citizens into valuable raw materials to make new products. And this is only the first unit that we are building, we are already working on our future MoReTec plants.”

LYB anticipates its MoReTec technology will gradually help shift the use of traditional fossil-based raw materials toward circular resources. Further, the catalytic nature of the technology allows it to conserve energy and significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions, while serving as a blueprint for future investments. LYB received a 40 million euro grant from the EU Innovation Fund for the project1.

Vanacker also called for improved support of European industry. “It’s essential we have policies that stimulate demand for sustainable and circular materials. As we make these significant investments in our future, we need a firm, reliable pathway to ensure confidence,” Vanacker said, echoing the Antwerp Declaration for an Industrial Deal, which he presented with other business leaders to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in February of this year.

Editors notes:

  • The planned investment is in the range of several hundred million Euros.
  • This represents a major milestone for our advanced recycling technology and overall sustainability, supporting reaching LYB goal to produce and market at least 2 million metric tons of recycled and renewable-based polymers annually by 2030
  • The new plant is expected to have an annual capacity of 50,000 metric tons per year. It is critical to help divert plastics otherwise destined to landfill and/or incineration and turn them back into valuable, raw materials.
  • The facility addresses customer demand at scale for higher quality, low carbon, drop-in solutions.
  • The advanced recycled feedstock produced by the MoReTec facility will be used for the production of polymers sold by LYB under the CirculenRevive brand for use in a wide range of applications, including medical and food packaging.
  • Additional investments are planned at a circular hub that LYB plans to build close to the Wesseling plant region. Other regional projects include:
    • a joint venture in Lower Saxony that will turn post-consumer, mixed plastic waste into raw materials for mechanical and advanced recycling
    • a closed-loop recycling center in Hesse to process plastic parts from cars and household appliances
    • an agreement to become full owner of solvent-based recycling company APK in Saxony-Anhalt region.
  • Additional quotes:

“Today is an important day for the future of our industry location. The plant is more than just a construction project – it is a symbol of the successful transformation towards a sustainable and innovative industry. With this investment, LYB is demonstrating that our federal state is an attractive location for leading companies that are ready to tackle the challenges of the future,” says Mona Neubaur, Minister for Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Action and Energy of the State of North Rhine Westphalia. “The technologies that are being developed here will make a significant contribution to strengthening our competitiveness and creating a more sustainable economy. We are proud to be taking this path together and I look forward to the positive momentum that will come from this project.”

“North Rhine-Westphalia is Germany’s largest chemical location – and one of the most innovative on the road to climate neutrality. We want to remain a strong industrial state and at the same time become climate neutral. With the groundbreaking of LYB MoReTec-1, LYB is providing important and forward-looking impetus for a strong circular economy in the plastics and chemical industry,” says Hendrik Wüst, Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia. “Only by working together can we strengthen North Rhine-Westphalia as a research and industrial location and expand our leading position in the field of chemical recycling.

Bitget Research Report Highlights TON Ecosystem Transaction Volume Surged 1800% in Under Six Months

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Sept. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has released an extensive report outlining the current state and development traction of the TON ecosystem, while highlighting its existing shortcomings and potential future threats. The report by Bitget starts by mentioning TON’s 900 million active user base, mostly from the CIS countries, particularly Russia and Ukraine, trailed by India, Brazil and the US. The network is host to over 1,159 projects, including cross-chain bridges, DeFi, launchpads, and other types of services.

Bitget Research Report Highlights TON Ecosystem Transaction Volume Surged 1800% in Under Six Months

Bitget Research Report Highlights TON Ecosystem Transaction Volume Surged 1800% in Under Six Months

The TON ecosystem has experienced a 12x spike from 100,000 to 1.2 million in daily transaction volume over the year. TVL currently stands at $350 million, up 18 times (approx. 1800%) in under 6 months, driven by DEX trading volume growth, from $2 to $40 million from the start of the year. The growing adoption of the ecosystem also spurred the native TON token’s price to an average of $5.5.

“TON’s ecosystem is rapidly gaining traction, particularly among tech-savvy enthusiasts eager to explore its innovative approach to decentralized solutions. At Bitget, we’ve witnessed a significant influx of users participating in TON-related projects, driven by its unique community engagement and seamless integration with exchanges. Recent standout projects such as DOGS have attracted massive interest, and with exciting upcoming launches like CATI and HMSTR, we’re committed to supporting and fostering the growth of these groundbreaking initiatives,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

The report shows TON’s extensive integration with Telegram, which has led to the popularization of multiple on-chain gaming apps and bots, contributing to massive user influx and trading volume rises. The ecosystem has also been active in terms of collaboration with USDT through the TON Foundation, as well as HashKey Group, Fireblocks, DWF Labs, and others.

The TON ecosystem’s attractiveness is based on its significant differences from Ethereum, offering a multi-chain architecture, asynchronous smart contract calls, proxy solutions, and more. The report highlights that the unique features of TON open up enormous growth potential for the system.

“Integrating with the TON and Telegram ecosystem has been a game changer for Bitget Wallet. By tapping into Telegram’s vast user base, we’ve seamlessly bridged Web2 and Web3, creating a smooth and accessible experience for millions,” said Alvin Kan, COO at Bitget Wallet. “This has fueled our growth to over 30 million user base with 12 million monthly active users, and makes us the No. 1 Web3 wallet by app downloads worldwide. It’s clear that the future of Web3 lies in making it intuitive and integrated with platforms people are already familiar with,” he added.

Bitget Wallet is now used by 68% of Telegram game users, contributing 17% of active addresses on the TON network in the current month. By seamlessly integrating with Web2 social platforms like Telegram, Bitget Wallet became the Most Downloaded Web3 wallet for two consecutive months, and surpassed 12 million monthly active users.

Nevertheless, TON suffers from low trading activity and poor lending options. DeFi, lending, gaming and other sectors push demand for the ecosystem’s services. To counter slow growth, the TON ecosystem will have to address its DeFi shortcomings, expand beyond the CIS, and tackle regulatory challenges.

This Bitget report concludes by stating that the TON blockchain will continue to rely on the user base of Telegram, but will likely trend towards “de-Telegramization” in the long run to mitigate regulatory risks associated with Telegram. Other projections mentioned in the report state that the TON token is expected to rise in tandem with broader market trends, and the development of the TON ecosystem will attract more traditional users to the cryptocurrency market.
