OKEx reveals over 300% growth in trading volumes this year

Perpetual swap products saw the most growth, followed by spot trading

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OKEx — a top cryptocurrency exchange and DeFi ecosystem — today reported 308% growth in total trading volumes over the past year. OKEx’s total trading volume of all listed assets grew from $1.8 trillion in October 2020 to $7.4 trillion as of October 2021.

Breaking down this massive growth, perpetual swap products on OKEx saw the highest increase, with trading volume growing by 455% year-over-year. Cryptocurrency spot and futures products also saw impressive growth in terms of trading volumes — up 365% and 209%, respectively.

In October 2021, BTC, DOGE, SHIB, OKB, ETH and SOL were among the top-10 assets with the highest trading volumes on OKEx spot markets. Total spot trading volumes for the 10 assets combined reached a monthly high of over $6.5 billion, which reflects increasing industry-level interest in dog-themed memecoins, as well as decentralized finance.

OKEx’s notable growth in trading volumes is accompanied by the firm’s market-leading push into the DeFi, GameFi and nonfungible token (NFT) spaces. This fall, OKEx launched a DeFi mode on both its website and mobile app, featuring a bespoke Web 3.0 wallet, as well as an NFT Marketplace and play-to-earn crypto gaming center. The platform also recently launched an advanced trading feature, portfolio margin, specifically designed to improve capital efficiency for professional and institutional traders.

“We are extremely pleased to witness this positive growth trajectory over the past year,” said OKEx CEO Jay Hao, adding:

“This would not have been possible without the support from our valued customers — the trusted OKEx family. In the past year, we upheld our commitment to better serve our customers with the launch of various offerings, including the new DeFi mode on OKEx, which includes a self-custodial, decentralized wallet, as well as an NFT Marketplace and blockchain game center.

To cater to institutional and professional traders, a CME-like portfolio margin system was introduced as part of our efforts to build the world’s most powerful trading platform for crypto traders. As we celebrate our fourth anniversary, we look forward to expanding our offerings and further growing our family in the global markets.”

NetSfere and Deutsche Telekom Partner to Deliver a Compliant Mobile Messaging Platform Enabling Instantaneous, Secure Staff Communication for Germany’s St. Augustinus Group

The companies deployed the HIPAA/GDPR compliant encrypted messaging platform to stop the use of consumer-grade messaging apps and streamline internal and patient communications

CHICAGO, Nov. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NetSfere, a global provider of next-generation secure and compliant messaging and mobility solutions, today announces its partnership with Deutsche Telekom, one of the world’s leading integrated telecommunications companies, to deploy NetSfere’s secure mobile messaging platform in all St. Augustinus hospitals, a leading German healthcare group.

Quick, instantaneous communication tools offer undisputed benefits to streamline staff communication, however, St. Augustinus noticed an alarming increase in the use of personal devices and popular messaging apps like WhatsApp, which pose critical privacy and compliance risks. In response, NetSfere and Deutsche Telekom partnered to implement NetSfere’s HIPAA and GDPR compliant messaging platform that offers similar functionality to apps like WhatsApp but provides the highest level of end-to-end encryption through Deutsche Telekom’s highly secure data center.

“NetSfere is designed to meet security and compliance requirements in regulated verticals including healthcare,” says Franz Obermayer, NetSfere’s Vice President Europe. “Medical professionals do high-pressure, life-changing work, which demands a communication platform that enables them to do so more effectively. Our partnership with the St. Augustinus Group provides secure, compliant, and flexible messaging options that eliminate the need for staff members to turn to risky messaging apps. With NetSfere, the exchange of patient data is protected to the maximum.”

Unlike consumer-grade messaging apps, NetSfere provides enterprise-grade functionalities that boost collaboration and streamline communications including individual and group messaging, HD audio calling, screen sharing, and group video calling. New to the platform, the NetSfere Lifeline emergency broadcast feature allows HR and crisis teams to quickly disseminate high priority, critical alerts and emergency information to targeted teams or an entire organization in an attention-grabbing manner. St. Augustinus is leveraging NetSfere broadcasting within its hospital to keep employees up-to-date on information related to the pandemic through its “Corona Ticker” NetSfere Lifeline channel.

“In the sensitive medical environment, it must be possible to communicate quickly and securely. NetSfere is the specialist for instant messages in companies. Telekom brings its expertise in security, consulting, and service. Together, we can meet the special industry requirements, and that is quite crucial right now,” says Hagen Rickmann, Managing Director Business Customers, Telekom Deutschland GmbH. “In this way, we can directly contribute to relieving the burden on staff and support optimal patient care.”

“It is our responsibility to equip our employees with suitable tools. They must be able to do their work effectively. At the same time, the privacy of our patients must be protected,” says Rainer Pappert, Managing Director of the St. Augustinus Group. “With the introduction of NetSfere, we followed the wishes of our employees: They want to use their personal devices. And they want to do so with an easy-to-use messaging app. So, we quickly introduced NetSfere for internal communication. With it, we quickly achieved better productivity and collaboration. Between teams, but also within our entire group. And that’s about 5,600 colleagues.”

St. Augustinus was drawn to using NetSfere as a solution for its staff not only because of its robust functionality, but also its industry recognition. In 2018 and 2019, NetSfere was selected by Entscheiderfabrik, a platform for IT decision makers of over 800 German hospitals, as the winner of the “Digitization Topic of the German Healthcare Industry.”

“Key highlights from our recently published VoTE: Digital Pulse, Business Reinvention & Transformation 2021 show that information security, employee productivity and business continuity remain top of mind for IT decision-makers,” said Raúl Castañón-Martinez, Senior Analyst for Workforce Collaboration at 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence division. These factors will drive market requirements for business communications and collaboration, particularly for mobile, remote/hybrid and frontline workers across verticals and use cases such as field workers and healthcare providers.”(1)

Business School Applications Surge Proves Not a Fad, Sustaining 2020 Growth

Survey finds international students rebound as women and U.S. underrepresented groups flock to full-time MBA programs

RESTON, Va., Nov. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Graduate Management Admission Council™ (GMAC™), a global association of leading graduate business schools, today released its anticipated annual 2021 Application Trends Survey. The survey of nearly a thousand MBA and business master’s programs found that in 2021, the volume of applications for graduate business school programs grew 0.4 percent from the year before, sustaining the elevated demand since the onset of a global pandemic in 2020 when business schools worldwide saw unusually high volume of applications due to the economic uncertainty.

“Candidates looked for alternative career options during the COVID induced recession and business schools introduced more flexible admissions policies, resulting in soaring application volumes last year,” said Sangeet Chowfla, president and CEO of GMAC. “The question was whether this was a fleeting event caused by the pandemic or the start of a new uptick in applications. In this context, the 2021 application cycle indicates that the surging demand for graduate business education is not a passing fad but has staying power beyond 2020.”

Key Findings

International candidates rebound in top-ranked business schools

After years of unwelcoming immigration policies in parts of the world and months of global travel restrictions due to COVID-19, pent-up demand from international students for graduate business schools was evident in this year’s data. Weighted absolute year-on-year change in application volumes from international candidates ― the applicants whose citizenship differs from that of the country where the program is located ― shows an increase of 4.1 percent compared to a decline of 3.8 percent from domestic candidates, the applicants who are citizens of the country where a program is located. More programs in Europe, the U.S., and the U.K reported decline in applications from domestic candidates when compared across regions.

This difference between international and domestic application volume is especially apparent for full-time MBA programs among leading business schools. The share of full-time two-year MBA programs showing growth in applications from international candidates has doubled from 28 percent in 2019 to 57 percent in 2021. Furthermore, twice as many U.S. programs ranked in the top 50 according to the US News & World Report saw an increase in applications from international candidates (73%) as domestic candidates (36%).

“Business school learning is experiential and relies heavily on interactions, discussions and cohort and alumni networks. This is impossible without a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds,” said Katy Montgomery, Associate Dean of Degree Programmes at INSEAD and a GMAC board member. “As student mobility gradually returns, the diversity it brings to a classroom will only benefit and enrich campus life.”

Women, U.S. underrepresented minorities return to in-person, full time MBA programs

Full-time MBA programs continued gaining traction in 2021. Half of full-time one-year (52%) and two-year (56%) MBA programs report an increase in applications in 2021, above all programs averaged at 41 percent. On the contrary, professional MBA programs such as part-time MBA, executive MBA, and online MBA programs ― those geared toward the needs of working professionals ― saw their share in those reporting application growth at the lowest level since 2017.

This year’s application data also indicates that globally, women candidates emerging from the shadow of the pandemic refocused on their career ambitions, with three in five (60%) full-time two-year MBA programs reporting an increase in applications from female candidates compared to two in five (43%) programs reporting growth from male candidates. In comparison, a much smaller share of online MBA programs (42%) reported growth in applications from female candidates, indicating women’s preference to return to in-person, full time learning.

In the U.S., women and underrepresented minorities (URM) reported similar desire to study on campus. More full-time two-year MBA programs reported growth in URM applications in 2021 (56%) compared to pre-pandemic 2019 (37%) or the online program (30%). Even more notably, female URM candidates demonstrated an impressive 22 percent increase between 2019 (38%) to 2021 (60%) in their share of applications for full-time two-year MBA programs.

L’augmentation du nombre de candidatures dans les écoles de commerce n’est pas qu’un engouement passager, elle entretient la hausse de 2020

L’enquête révèle un rebond du nombre des étudiants internationaux alors que les femmes et les groupes sous-représentés aux États-Unis se tournent en masse vers des programmes de MBA à temps plein

RESTON, Virginie, 17 nov. 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Le Graduate Management Admission Council™ (GMAC™), une association internationale d’écoles supérieures de commerce de premier plan, a publié aujourd’hui son rapport anticipé d’enquête annuelle sur les tendances des candidatures en 2021. L’enquête, portant sur près d’un millier de programmes de MBA et de masters de commerce, a révélé qu’en 2021, le nombre de candidatures aux programmes des écoles supérieures de commerce a augmenté de 0,4 % par rapport à l’année précédente, soutenant la forte demande enregistrée depuis le début, en 2020, d’une pandémie mondiale, lorsque les écoles de commerce du monde entier ont connu un volume de candidatures exceptionnellement élevé en raison de l’incertitude économique.

« Les candidats ont recherché d’autres options de carrière pendant la récession induite par la COVID, et les écoles de commerce ont introduit des politiques d’admission plus flexibles, entraînant une envolée du nombre de candidatures l’an dernier », a déclaré Sangeet Chowfla, président-directeur général du GMAC. « La question était de savoir s’il s’agissait d’un événement passager causé par la pandémie ou du début d’une nouvelle hausse des candidatures. Dans ce contexte, le cycle des candidatures 2021 indique que la demande croissante pour l’enseignement supérieur en commerce ne relève pas d’un engouement passager, mais qu’elle devrait se poursuivre au-delà de 2020. »

Principales conclusions

On constate un rebond du nombre des candidats internationaux dans les écoles de commerce les mieux classées

Après des années de politiques peu accueillantes en matière d’immigration dans certaines parties du monde et des mois de restrictions des déplacements à l’échelle mondiale en raison de la COVID-19, la demande des étudiants internationaux pour les écoles supérieures de commerce qui s’est accumulée au fil de ces années est apparue évidente dans les données de cette année. La variation absolue pondérée d’une année sur l’autre du nombre de candidatures émanant de candidats internationaux, c’est-à-dire de candidats dont la nationalité diffère de celle du pays où se déroule le programme, affiche une augmentation de 4,1 %, alors que celle des candidatures des candidats nationaux, c’est-à-dire des citoyens du pays où se déroule le programme, est en baisse de 3,8 %. En termes de régions, c’est pour les programmes en Europe, aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni que l’on signale une baisse du nombre de demandes d’inscription de candidats nationaux.

Cette différence entre le nombre de candidatures nationales et internationales est particulièrement évidente pour les programmes de MBA à temps plein des écoles de commerce de premier plan. La part des programmes de MBA à temps plein sur deux ans affichant une croissance du nombre de candidatures émanant de candidats internationaux a doublé, passant de 28 % en 2019 à 57 % en 2021. En outre, selon l’US News & World Report, les programmes des États-Unis classés dans le top 50 sont deux fois plus nombreux à avoir enregistré une augmentation du nombre de candidats internationaux (73 %) que du nombre de candidats nationaux (36 %).

« L’apprentissage des écoles de commerce est expérientiel et repose fortement sur les interactions, les discussions, les cohortes et les réseaux d’anciens élèves. Cela est impossible sans une diversité de perspectives et d’origines », a déclaré Katy Montgomery, doyenne associée des programmes des diplômes à l’INSEAD et membre du conseil d’administration du GMAC. « Alors que la mobilité des étudiants reprend progressivement, la diversité qu’elle apporte dans une salle de classe sera bénéfique à la vie sur le campus et l’enrichira. »

Les femmes et les minorités sous-représentées aux États-Unis suivent à nouveau des programmes de MBA en personne et à temps plein

Les programmes de MBA à temps plein ont continué à gagner du terrain en 2021. La moitié des programmes de MBA à temps plein sur un an (52 %) et sur deux ans (56 %) fait état d’une augmentation du nombre de candidatures en 2021, surtout des programmes établis en moyenne à 41 %. Au contraire, les programmes de MBA professionnels tels que les programmes de MBA à temps partiel, de MBA exécutifs et de MBA en ligne – c’est-à-dire axés sur les besoins des professionnels actifs – ont vu leur part parmi ceux qui ont signalé une croissance des candidatures au plus bas niveau depuis 2017.

Les données de cette année indiquent également qu’à l’échelle mondiale, les candidates émergeant de l’ombre de la pandémie se sont reconcentrées sur leurs ambitions professionnelles. En effet, trois sur cinq (60 %) des programmes de MBA à temps plein sur deux ans font état d’une augmentation des candidatures de femmes alors que deux programmes sur cinq (43 %) enregistrent une croissance du nombre de candidats masculins. Par comparaison, une part beaucoup moins importante des programmes de MBA en ligne (42 %) a enregistré une augmentation du nombre de candidates, ce qui souligne la préférence des femmes pour un retour à l’apprentissage en personne et à temps plein.

Aux États-Unis, les femmes et les minorités sous-représentées (URM) montrent une volonté similaire d’étudier sur un campus. Davantage de programmes de MBA à temps plein sur deux ans ont enregistré une croissance des candidatures URM en 2021 (56 %) par rapport à l’année 2019, soit avant la pandémie (37 %), et par rapport aux programmes en ligne (30 %). De manière encore plus notable, les femmes des minorités sous-représentées ont affiché une augmentation impressionnante de 22 % entre 2019 (38 %) et 2021 (60 %) de leur part de candidatures à des programmes de MBA à temps plein sur deux ans.

À propos du rapport

L’enquête annuelle du GMAC sur les tendances des candidatures se concentre sur la demande mondiale pour l’enseignement supérieur en management et analyse les différences entre les programmes et les régions pour la saison 2020-2021 des admissions (classe entrante de 2021). Les données de cette enquête ont été recueillies entre le 8 juillet et le 23 août 2021 et ont recueilli les réponses correspondant à 967 programmes auprès de 269 écoles de commerce à travers le monde. Cette enquête annuelle, menée pour la 23e fois, contribue à une meilleure compréhension de la valeur des diplômes d’études supérieures de commerce et des tendances mondiales et régionales.

Aumento das Inscrições em Faculdades de Business Comprova Não Ser Uma Novidade e a Continuação do Crescimento de 2020

Pesquisa identifica que estudantes internacionais se recuperam à medida que mulheres e grupos sub-representados nos EUA estão se inscrevendo em programas de MBA em tempo integral

RESTON, Va., Nov. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — O Graduate Management Admission Council™ (GMAC™), uma associação global de principais faculdades de pós-graduação de business, divulgou hoje sua Pesquisa Anual de Tendências de Inscrições para 2021. A pesquisa com quase mil programas de MBA e mestrado em business revelou que, em 2021, o volume de inscrições para programas de pós-graduação em business aumentou 0,4% em relação ao ano anterior, sustentando a alta demanda desde o início da pandemia global em 2020, quando as faculdades de business de todo o mundo viram um volume excepcionalmente alto de inscrições devido à incerteza econômica.

“Os candidatos procuraram opções de carreira alternativas durante a recessão induzida pela COVID e as faculdades de business introduziram políticas de admissões mais flexíveis, resultando em volumes crescentes de inscrições no ano passado”, disse Sangeet Chowfla, presidente e CEO do GMAC. “A questão era se o evento seria passageiro causado pela pandemia ou pelo início de um novo aumento nas aplicações. Neste contexto, o ciclo de inscrição de 2021 indica que a demanda crescente por educação de pós-graduação de business não é uma moda passageira, e tem poder de permanência além de 2020.”

Principais Conclusões

Candidatos internacionais se correram para as melhores faculdades de business

Após anos de políticas de imigração indesejáveis em partes do mundo e meses de restrições globais de viagens devido à COVID-19, a demanda reprimida de estudantes internacionais por faculdades de pós-graduação de business foi evidente nos dados deste ano. A mudança absoluta ponderada ano após ano nos volumes de candidatura de candidatos internacionais – os candidatos cuja cidadania é diferente do país onde o programa está localizado – mostra um aumento de 4,1% em comparação com um declínio de 3,8% dos candidatos nacionais, os candidatos que são cidadãos do país onde um programa está localizado. Mais programas na Europa, EUA e Reino Unido relataram declínio nas candidaturas de candidatos nacionais quando comparados entre as regiões.

Essa diferença entre o volume de inscrições internacionais e domésticas é especialmente aparente nos programas de MBA em tempo integral entre as principais faculdades de business. A parcela de programas de MBA em tempo integral que mostram crescimento nas candidaturas de candidatos internacionais dobrou de 28% em 2019 para 57% em 2021. Além disso, o dobro de programas dos EUA classificados no top 50, de acordo com o US News & World Report, teve um aumento tanto das candidaturas de candidatos internacionais (73%) como de candidatos nacionais (36%).

“O aprendizado da faculdade de business é experiencial e depende muito de interações, discussões e redes de coorte e de ex-alunos. Isso é impossível sem uma diversidade de perspectivas e origens”, disse Katy Montgomery, Reitora Associada de Programas de Graduação do INSEAD e membro do conselho do GMAC. “À medida que a mobilidade estudantil retorna gradualmente, a diversidade que ela traz para uma sala de aula só beneficiará e enriquecerá a vida no campus.”

Mulheres, minorias sub-representadas nos EUA retornam a programas de MBA presenciais e em tempo integral

Os programas de MBA em tempo integral continuaram ganhando força em 2021. Metade dos programas de MBA em tempo integral de um ano (52%) e de dois anos (56%) relataram um aumento nas inscrições em 2021, acima de todos os programas em média de 41%. Por outro lado, os programas de MBA profissionais, como MBA em meio período, MBA executivo e programas de MBA online – voltados para as necessidades dos profissionais que trabalham – tiveram uma participação nos que relatam o crescimento do aplicativo no nível mais baixo desde 2017.

Os dados de candidatura deste ano também indicaram que, globalmente, as mulheres candidatas emergentes da sombra da pandemia se concentraram novamente em suas ambições de carreira, com três em cada cinco (60%) programas de MBA em tempo integral relatando um aumento nas candidaturas de candidatas do sexo feminino, em comparação com dois em cada cinco (43%) programas relatando crescimento de candidatos do sexo masculino. Em comparação, uma parcela muito menor dos programas de MBA online (42%) relatou crescimento nas candidaturas de candidatas do sexo feminino, indicando a preferência das mulheres em retornar ao aprendizado presencial e em tempo integral.

Nos EUA, mulheres e minorias sub-representadas (URM) relataram desejo semelhante de estudar no campus. Mais programas de MBA em tempo integral relataram crescimento nas inscrições de URM em 2021 (56%), em comparação com o pré-pandemia 2019 (37%), ou o programa online (30%). Ainda mais notável, as candidatas a URM demonstraram um aumento impressionante de 22% entre 2019 (38%) e 2021 (60%) na sua participação nas inscrições para programas de MBA em tempo integral de dois anos.

Sobre o Relatório

A Pesquisa Anual de Tendências de Inscrições do GMAC concentra-se na demanda global por educação de pós-graduação em gestão e analisa as diferenças por programas e regiões para a temporada de admissões de 2020-2021 (turma de 2021). Esses dados da pesquisa foram coletados entre 8 de julho e 23 de agosto de 2021 e obtiveram respostas de 967 programas em 269 faculdades de business de todo o mundo. Este é 23o. ano em que a pesquisa foi realizada, contribuindo para uma maior compreensão do valor dos cursos de pós-graduação em business e das tendências globais e regionais.

Cawood Scientific Group rejoint Ensign-Bickford Industries

DENVER, 17 nov. 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ensign-Bickford Industries, Inc. (EBI) a annoncé aujourd’hui avoir clôturé son acquisition de Cawood Scientific Limited (Cawood), dont le siège social est situé à Bracknell, au Royaume-Uni.
