DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit saw its derivatives trading volume rise 14.9% to $321 billion in August, according to data cited in the latest CoinDesk Research report on centralized exchange (CEX) activity, as the exchange retained its position among the top three crypto trading venues industry-wide.

In spot trading, Bybit held a 5.26% market share for August, second among major exchanges by trading volume.

The growth came amid a period of broader recovery across CEXs in August 2026, which saw combined trading volumes climb 12.7% to $4.29 trillion, rebounding from multi-year lows recorded in July. Spot markets led the rebound, up by 18.7%, while derivatives volumes rose 11.3% across CEXs overall.

August saw a surge across crypto prices, with BTC recovering from roughly $63,000 at the start of the month to a three-month high above $80,000 by August 25, sparked by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s shock announcement to dampen Treasury yields. Spot prices however eased lower in the final days of the month following hawkish remarks from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh at the Jackson Hole symposium, though BTC still closed August with a 25.4% monthly gain – its biggest advance since November 2024.

The month also marked a record for real-world asset (RWA) perpetuals, a category that has expanded steadily through 2026, the report said. CEX-wide RWA perpetuals volume reached $602 billion in August, an all-time high, as trading activity in tokenized real-world assets continued to gain traction among derivatives traders. Launched earlier this year, Bybit TradFi Perpetuals now support over 250 trading pairs across traditional financial assets covering equities, commodities, and global ETFs.

Bybit continues to position itself around its broader New Financial Platform strategy, expanding beyond spot and derivatives trading into tokenized assets, stablecoins and institutional-grade products as the lines between centralized and decentralized finance continue to converge.

Recognition at ISCR 2026 highlights Bybit’s ongoing collaboration with law enforcement and regulators to trace illicit funds, share intelligence and strengthen the global response to crypto-related cybercrime

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has been recognized by the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) for its contribution to cybercrime investigations and international cooperation. At the 27th International Symposium on Cybercrime Response (ISCR 2026), held in Seoul from August 27–28, the KNPA presented Bybit with a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of its contribution to strengthening cooperation between the two organizations, particularly in the investigation of cybercrime. The certificate was presented on stage by Yoo Jae-seong, Acting Commissioner General of the Korean National Police Agency, and received on behalf of Bybit by Coco Heng, Head of Law Enforcement at Bybit.

Bybit was nominated by the Korean National Police Agency for the recognition. The company was the only cryptocurrency exchange to receive the Certificate of Appreciation at ISCR 2026, underscoring the importance of collaboration between the digital-asset industry and law enforcement in addressing increasingly sophisticated cybercrime.

ISCR is hosted annually by the Korean National Police Agency’s Investigation Bureau and brings together government, industry and academia to advance cybercrime response and cybersecurity cooperation. The 2026 symposium focused on “Perfect Cube: Three Dimensions for Shaping New Digital Order,” highlighting standards, technology and cooperation as key pillars for building a safer digital environment.

Strengthening cooperation beyond the platform

Bybit’s approach to security extends beyond protecting its own platform. The company works with law enforcement agencies, regulators, blockchain intelligence providers and industry partners to support investigations, trace illicit funds and provide relevant intelligence that can help authorities identify the movement of stolen or fraud-linked assets.

Through its law enforcement function, Bybit responds to requests from authorities across jurisdictions and works with investigators to support the tracing of digital assets and the development of actionable intelligence. This cooperation is increasingly important as cybercriminal groups move assets across multiple blockchains, platforms and jurisdictions.

“Cybercrime does not stop at borders, and neither should the cooperation needed to fight it,” said Coco Heng, Head of Law Enforcement at Bybit. “Our responsibility is not only to protect our users and our platform, but also to work constructively with law enforcement and regulators when digital assets are connected to criminal activity. The recognition from the Korean National Police Agency is a meaningful acknowledgement of that work. We are grateful for the trust placed in our team and remain committed to sharing intelligence, supporting investigations and helping make the digital-asset ecosystem harder for criminals to exploit.”

Turning security data into action

The recognition follows the publication of Bybit’s H1 2026 Risk & Security Report, which details the company’s continued investment in security, risk controls and cybercrime prevention.

According to the report, Bybit intercepted more than $700 million in potential user losses during the first half of 2026, following the review of more than 30,000 suspicious withdrawal requests. The company also identified approximately $212 million in potential fraud-linked on-chain funds and blacklisted more than 10,000 malicious addresses.

Bybit expanded its monitoring to cover 100% of business-relevant on-chain activity, including listed token contracts, ecosystem contracts and the company’s cold, warm and hot wallets. During the period, the company handled 10 security incidents involving listed token projects, with zero resulting losses to the platform.

The report also details the growing role of AI in Bybit’s security operations. More than 100,000 security alerts were processed with AI-assisted analysis during H1 2026, while AI-assisted security auditing identified high-severity vulnerabilities at three to five times the rate of manual review. Bybit also reduced the time required to move from security assessment to testing from approximately two weeks to two hours.

For Bybit, these capabilities are part of a broader shift from responding to individual incidents toward building an always-on security framework that combines technology, intelligence, human expertise and external cooperation.

Building a safer digital-asset ecosystem

As digital-asset adoption expands, Bybit believes effective cybercrime response requires stronger coordination between private-sector platforms and public-sector authorities.

The company will continue to strengthen its security infrastructure while expanding cooperation with law enforcement agencies, regulators and industry partners globally. Bybit’s objective is to help detect threats earlier, accelerate investigations and make illicit activity more difficult to execute and profit from.

The recognition at ISCR 2026 represents an important milestone in that effort and reinforces Bybit’s commitment to contributing to a safer and more trusted digital-asset ecosystem.

Annual conference will explore how AI, multilingualism, Indigenous knowledge, Hip Hop, migration, trauma and emerging technologies are reshaping what literacy means.

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the Literacy Research Association prepares to gather in Honolulu, we extend our care to communities across Hawaiʻi affected by the recent storms. We also mourn the passing of LRA Past President P. David Pearson and honor his extraordinary legacy of scholarship, mentorship, and leadership in literacy research.

This December, more than 1,000 literacy scholars, educators, and advocates will convene, as they have for over seven decades, for the 76th Annual Conference of the Literacy Research Association. A singular question will serve as the primary focus for this assembly: How does literacy create new possibilities when it travels across people, communities, languages, technologies, cultures, and histories?

Registration is now open for researchers, educators, community leaders, and literacy advocates who want to help shape how literacy research responds to AI, migration, multilingualism, cultural change, and emerging forms of learning. 

Join literacy experts from around the world from December 2–5, 2026 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, 2005 Kālia Road, Honolulu, HI 96815. 

Hotel accommodations are available through the LRA conference room block. Detailed session schedules and program information are available through the LRA 2026 online conference program via All Academic. Connect with LRA on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Threads, and Facebook and get quick, real-time updates from the conference.

Explore a Transformative Theme: Redefine the Future of Literacy Research

The LRA 2026 theme is “Manifesting Quantum Imaginaries: Re-searching Literacies as a Transcontextual Enterprise.” The theme uses quantum imaginaries as a metaphor for exploring how literacy moves, connects, and changes across contexts—not as a claim that quantum science itself is a theory of literacy.

The conference program features Reading Hall of Fame inaugural addresses, and includes keynote speeches, presidential sessions, and workshops for practitioners. These events span contexts such as primary and secondary education (encompassing kindergarten through high school), post-secondary instruction (college-level studies and beyond), informal community learning, emerging technologies, and the swiftly evolving domain of artificial intelligence. 

“Literacies are never confined to a single place,” said Patriann Smith, LRA 2026 President-Elect and Conference Chair. “They travel across communities, languages, technologies, and generations. This conference asks what new possibilities emerge when we view literacy through that lens.” 

Attend a Featured Keynote: Trauma, Language, Literacy and the Global South

A major conference highlight will be the featured keynote address by Suresh Canagarajah. Canagarajah is the Evan Pugh University Professor at Penn State University and internationally renowned scholar of language, literacy, multilingualism, and translingual practice. 

His keynote, “Disturbances that Entangle Anomalous Texts: Trauma Literacy in the Global South,” will examine how language and literacy shape the ways individuals and communities understand, negotiate, and transform experiences of trauma. Through the conference’s theme, he will explore how literacy can enable healing, resilience, and social transformation across diverse global contexts. He will connect questions of language, identity, colonialism, conflict, and community to the ongoing pursuit of more just and humane futures. 

The LRA 2026 program will also feature a keynote speech by esteemed professor at Teachers College – Columbia University, Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz. 

View a Film: Hip Hop, Literacy and the “Hour of Chaos”

A special conference session, Presidential Session 8, will bring Hip Hop artists, scholars, and activists together for a screening and discussion of a new film. The film, “In the Hour of Chaos: Hip Hop Art & Activism with Public Enemy’s Chuck D,” features Public Enemy’s Chuck D and a corresponding 2026 book.

H. Samy Alim, Samuel Lamontagne, and Tabia Shawel directed the film, which reflects artists, activists, and scholars sharing their thoughts on 50 years of Hip Hop culture. They discuss its ongoing importance in society, culture, and politics. 

The session in Honolulu will gather directors Alim, Lamontagne, Shawel, along with Joan Morgan, Jeff Chang, Casey Philip Wong, and Emile YX? from Black Noise. They will have a film screening, discuss the book, and join a panel. They will talk about Black radical movements, Hip Hop feminisms, how culture spreads worldwide, technology, education, and the future of Hip Hop and literacy studies.

Examine Presidential Sessions: Research, Practice, and Community 

The LRA 2026 Presidential Sessions will feature leading scholars, educators, artists, and community leaders, addressing some of the most consequential questions facing literacy education today. Across four major areas of inquiry, the LRA 2026 Presidential Sessions will examine how literacy research is responding to a rapidly changing social and technological landscape: 

• Transnationalism, immigration, race, and belonging through discussions of transnational, immigration, and Black literacies.
• Community, relationality, and Indigenous knowledge systems, with a focus on multilingual solidarities, Hawaiian literacies, and intergenerational connections.
• Technology, Hip Hop, and educational innovation, examining digital literacies, cultural activism, and adolescent achievement.
• Critical literacy, artificial intelligence, and identity, addressing responsible AI, research-policy-practice partnerships, and community-based approaches to literacy and learning.

“The future of literacy research and of education cannot be shaped by any one discipline, institution, or perspective,” Smith said. “It takes researchers, educators, artists, community leaders, and learners coming together to ask different questions and connect ideas across contexts. LRA 2026 is an invitation to do exactly that—and to leave Honolulu with new questions, new partnerships, and new possibilities for flourishing and for the field.”

About the Literacy Research Association

The Literacy Research Association (LRA) is a community of scholars, educators, and literacy professionals dedicated to advancing research and disseminating knowledge about literacy, language, communication, and learning. For more than seven decades, LRA has supported research and dialogue that informs literacy scholarship, education, policy, and practice.

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Huawei hosted an online launch event for its intelligent world report series, themed “Act Today. Shape Tomorrow.” The company officially released two research reports at the event: Intelligent World 2035: Turning Vision into Action and Global Digitalization and Intelligence Index 2026. Building on the trend landscape outlined in 2024 and the 10 megatrends identified in 2025, the Intelligent World 2035: Turning Vision into Action report introduces for the first time ten key directions for building an intelligent world, systematically addressing the key challenges in the agentic AI era and providing the industry with an actionable roadmap.

The report highlights that as AI expands from the digital world to the physical world, it is moving beyond a standalone tool to penetrate the core processes of operations and society. It is rewriting the underlying logic of industry and accelerating transformation across sectors.

David Wang, Deputy Chairman of the Board and Rotating Chairman of Huawei, noted in the report, “Agentic AI is a key variable in this transformation. For AI to reshape operational paradigms, the foundations of competition, and industrial dynamics, there are several key challenges we need to address. The direction is clear, but bringing our vision to life demands concrete action. And that’s precisely the focus of this year’s report – Intelligent World 2035: Turning Vision into Action.” According to Wang, this new report begins with the pivotal shifts brought about by the current AI revolution, analyzes the key challenges behind these shifts, and ultimately delivers actionable recommendations for an agentic world – building intelligent infrastructure to reshape user experience and operational paradigms.

According to the report, agentic AI is driving a transition from an application-centric to agent-centric digital world, where agents continuously perceive their environment, autonomously reason and make decisions, dynamically invoke tools, and interact with humans in real time. Every one of these steps involves massive token generation and high-frequency token flow. The report predicts that by 2035, global annual token consumption will grow 100,000-fold, with traffic from agents accounting for over 90%. This shift will place enormous demands on computing, networking, and cloud infrastructure, far exceeding what traditional Internet applications demand. Based on this observation, the report outlines ten key directions:

1. Building AGI with autonomous cognition and general capabilities for any task: Going physical is the essential path to AGI, which requires advances in language intelligence, embodied intelligence, and scientific intelligence.
2. Scaling computing clusters 100-fold and reducing agent task costs 1,000-fold: Aside from boosting chip-level computing, the industry must also shift to SuperPoD computing systems for higher token output efficiency.
3. Novel storage and memory systems with causal accuracy and trustworthy traceability to drive the evolution from data to knowledge and memory.
4. Experience-centric intelligent connectivity infrastructure with AI integrated into communications systems.
5. Tau Scaling Law: Exploring chip design methodologies and tools to co-optimize latency and energy efficiency by replacing geometric scaling with time scaling in order to drive semiconductor evolution.
6. Agent OS: Shifting from harnessing the environment to autonomous evolution and laying an agent-native technical foundation, with its capabilities summarized as: (Coordination × Execution × Memory × Connectivity) ^ Evolution.
7. Defining a novel paradigm for seamlessly adaptive and ubiquitous device intelligence to enable pervasive intelligent services across devices and scenarios.
8. Self-learning and ultimate safety in intelligent driving to push vehicles to evolve into mobile embodied agents.
9. Breaking power and thermal limits to scale AI data center computing power.
10. Safeguarding the intelligent world via security and privacy protection for autonomous agents.

To address these challenges in the agentic AI era, as noted in the report, it is essential to develop token-centric, end-to-end intelligent infrastructure that spans token generation, delivery, consumption, and security. This requires building SuperPoDs and open ecosystems to enhance token production efficiency, developing intelligent connectivity infrastructure to ensure seamless token flows, and deploying agentic-native cloud platforms to accelerate AI adoption across industries. Ultimately, these practices will transform tokens into perceivable intelligent services, reshaping both personal user experiences and enterprise operational paradigms.

To conclude the report, Huawei proposes five initiatives: take a long-term approach, remain people-centric, uphold the principle of tech for good, remain committed to openness and collaboration, and adopt a systems approach, with the aim of translating technological innovation into industry progress.

At the event, the Global Digitalization and Intelligence Index 2026, jointly developed by Huawei and the Institute of Economics at Tsinghua University, was also released to provide countries with pathways to an intelligent economy. Bringing together insights from experts from across economics, sociology, and ICT, the report forecasts that AI will generate over US$27 trillion in cumulative economic value over the next five years. Furthermore, global investment in digital and intelligent infrastructure is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.14%, surpassing US$4 trillion by 2030. This will provide a strong foundation for the continued expansion of the intelligent economy.

The report reframes the core factors of production of the digital and intelligent world into data, ICT talent, and digital and intelligent technologies. It underscores that integrating networking, computing, and storage provides the fertile ground needed for successful industrial upgrading. The report assesses the digital and intelligent development of 90 surveyed countries and categorizes their progress into three stages: Builder, Adopter, and Frontrunner, providing policymakers with clear pathways to an intelligent economy. The report also emphasizes that while no universal paradigm exists for the intelligent era, quantitative assessment allows each country to identify its own areas of focus and map a customized development pathway tailored to its conditions.

In his foreword in the Intelligent World 2035: Turning Vision into Action report, Wang concludes, “Visions are painted in words, but measured in deeds. Huawei is ready to join hands with customers and partners around the world, turning every practical step we take today into meaningful progress toward the Intelligent World 2035.”

News Summary

• RelativityOne is now Relativity aiR, a name that reflects AI’s central role in how legal teams perform their most complex, high-stakes work.
• Relativity aiR has delivered more than 620 million high-value legal results in 2026 alone.
• Relativity is evolving its platform name as it deepens its embedded AI-native capabilities, expands to serve a broader group of users and solve more legal data intelligence use cases, and meets legal professionals where and how they work. 

CHICAGO, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced that RelativityOne is now Relativity aiR. This unifies the platform and its AI capabilities under one name, reflecting the company’s continued commitment to making AI foundational to the platform where legal teams already do their most consequential work. Relativity aiR was previously the name for the company’s suite of agentic AI capabilities integrated into its extensible cloud platform, RelativityOne.

“In our 25 years, Relativity has led this community through every major shift in the industry, from paper to digital evidence, from on-premises to the cloud, and now to AI. That’s our history—it’s our DNA,” said Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity. “We’ve been adapting and building AI into our platform for over a decade. This name confirms what our community already knows: AI is as transformative a shift as the cloud was years ago, and Relativity has the trusted platform and the experience to lead through it responsibly.” 

AI built on trust, proven in practice
Relativity aiR is a new name for the same platform the world’s largest law firms and corporations, government agencies, and a robust network of channel partners rely on today. AI now handles more of the high-volume legal work that used to consume thousands of hours, empowering legal teams to uncover insights faster and make smarter, more strategic decisions.

Relativity aiR has delivered more than 620 million high-value legal results—professional work that a qualified human confirmed and used on real matters—across customer matters in 2026, as of Sept. 9. Questions beyond the abilities of a keyword or metadata search to answer, requiring an agent to read across the record and reason about what it says, have grown 44 percent month over month. More than 40 published customer and partner stories document what Relativity aiR delivers in practice: multimillion-dollar litigations completed with a fraction of the review hours, data subject access and regulatory productions completed in as little as 48 hours with precision rates as high as 99.8 percent, and internal investigations that once took a full team months have been resolved by a single reviewer in under an hour.

“Today we’re celebrating what customers are achieving with Relativity aiR, the platform we’ve built and the future it empowers: the system of record for the industry’s most sensitive data and the system of action that reads it, reasons over it and turns it into work product with transparency, defensibility and governance,” said Chris Brown, President of Relativity. “That combination of trust and verified results is what we have been building on as we bring aiR to lawyers, into Word and other surfaces where legal work happens.”

Relativity aiR’s AI capabilities are included in the platform’s current pricing, so customers can have access to every agentic tool as part of their platform, with the value flowing through the work itself rather than a separate line item. The shift from RelativityOne to Relativity aiR reinforces where Relativity is focused: AI embedded natively throughout the platform, AI agents supporting the work already performed and opening up new kinds of work, simpler experiences built around AI agents, and extensibility that empowers Relativity’s community of partners and practitioners to solve new and unique legal challenges.

Expanding who the platform serves and what it solves
Relativity has expanded who the platform serves and how. In recent months, the company has advanced Relativity aiR to support a broader group of users, including lawyers and the legal data and technology teams working alongside them. Currently in Advanced Access, Relativity claiR gives lawyers conversational command of their legal data. Relativity aiR has also been tackling more legal data intelligence use cases, from litigation and internal investigations to data breach responses and Freedom of Information Act requests. Fifty-seven percent of new workspaces created in Relativity aiR this year serve matters beyond litigation. And, the platform’s intelligence begins the moment data arrives, giving legal teams early case intelligence, including document insights and matter scoping.

Relativity has been working to meet legal professionals where they work. It acquired Gavel to bring Relativity aiR directly into Microsoft Word, so the intelligence that lives in the platform can follow lawyers into the documents they are drafting. And through Model Context Protocol integrations, external enterprise AI agents can now orchestrate matters and workflows within Relativity aiR.

Read Relativity’s blog for more from Brown on the platform’s next chapter. Attend RelFest Chicago, Sept. 29–Oct. 1, to connect with thousands from the legal intelligence community.

UJET’s mobile-native architecture, AI-first strategy, and orchestration model – turns strategic vision into measurable customer outcomes.

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan today recognizes UJET with the 2026 North American Competitive Strategy Leadership Recognition in the Customer Experience Platforms industry for translating its AI in CX strategy into sustained market momentum and tangible customer value. As AI, cloud technology, and evolving customer expectations reshape the customer experience landscape, UJET is taking a differentiated approach to CX through mobile-native innovation, intelligent orchestration, and a strong focus on measurable customer outcomes. The recognition reflects UJET’s evolution from a traditional CCaaS provider into an AI-first CX platform company.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. UJET demonstrated strength across both, aligning its strategic initiatives with market needs while executing with agility and a clear focus on customer outcomes.

“UJET’s mobile-native architecture and biometric authentication capabilities establish a new standard for frictionless customer engagement—by eliminating redundant authentication cycles and enabling pre-session context sharing, the platform delivers measurable handle time reductions and a materially better customer experience from the very first second of contact,” said Sebastian Menutti, Industry Director, CX, Frost & Sullivan.

A central element of UJET’s strategy is its AI-first transformation, anchored by the acquisition of Spiral, an AI-powered conversational analytics company, and UJET’s Agentic Experience Orchestration (AXO) platform, a persistent AI layer that bridges the gap between customer data and interaction management. Rather than automating people out of the interaction, AXO is built to orchestrate humans and AI together across the end-to-end customer journey. UJET also recently introduced CX Accelerators, including virtual agents, agent assist, conversational analytics, and screen sharing, giving enterprises flexible ways to adopt AI without replacing their existing CCaaS infrastructure. Customers are already reporting 20-30% reductions in average handle time.

“UJET’s acquisition of Spiral and the development of the AXO platform signal a substantive strategic evolution: rather than positioning AI as a headcount replacement tool, UJET has built a closed-loop optimization engine that helps enterprises scale revenues and operations with existing staff – delivering the kind of durable, measurable ROI that the market has been chasing,” said Menutti.

“Frost & Sullivan’s research confirms exactly what we’re hearing from our own customers – AI spend is climbing, headcount isn’t falling, and most people still want a real person when the moment matters,” said Matthew Clare, VP of Product Marketing & Solution Consulting at UJET. “That paradox is precisely why we built AXO to orchestrate the agent experience instead of trying to replace it: keep the humans, cut the software. Earning this recognition tells us our strategy and Frost & Sullivan’s view of where this market is headed are pointed in the same direction.”

Customer results demonstrate the impact of this strategy. At Capital on Tap, UJET helped improve SLA delivery from 88% to 92%, reduce average hold time by 12%, and increase CSAT from 4.4 to 4.6. Capital On Tap found in UJET the agile, integrated CX partner they’d been searching for. With faster answers, higher satisfaction, and simplified workflows, the company is now delivering world-class customer service at scale.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Competitive Strategy Leadership Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. The recognition highlights forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.
