Microsoft has officially announced an updated partnership agreement with OpenAI, further clarifying the long-term nature of their collaboration. Under the new agreement, Microsoft remains OpenAI’s primary cloud partner, and OpenAI products will continue to launch first on Azure—unless Microsoft is unable or chooses not to support the relevant capabilities. At the same time, OpenAI may now deploy all its products on any cloud service provider. The agreement also states that Microsoft holds a license to OpenAI’s model and product intellectual property through 2032; however, this license has changed from exclusive to non-exclusive. Microsoft will no longer pay revenue-sharing payments to OpenAI, while OpenAI’s revenue-sharing payments to Microsoft will continue through 2030 at the same percentage rate—but subject to an overall cap.

Bitget’s Q1 2026 Transparency Report, released today, shows that user trading behavior is rapidly shifting from single crypto assets to multi-asset portfolios. By the end of Q1, non-crypto assets—such as commodities—accounted for 20%–40% of total trading volume, while crypto assets’ share declined from a dominant position at the start of the year to 60%–80%. This fluctuation signals that holistic asset portfolios have become the core strategy for high-net-worth investors. At the product and ecosystem level, Bitget released the whitepaper for its Holistic Exchange (UEX) in Q1, further clarifying the integration path for crypto assets, tokenized assets, and AI-driven trading within a unified architecture. Simultaneously, the platform has continued strengthening its AI trading infrastructure, launching Agent Hub and GetClaw—advancing AI from an assistive tool to an execution system that enables agents to ingest real-time market data, identify trading signals, and execute operations autonomously within predefined parameters. Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, stated: “The boundary between crypto markets and traditional finance is rapidly dissolving; the explosive growth of CFDs heralds the arrival of a unified market. Users are no longer making binary asset choices—they are engaging in efficiency-based competition across diverse assets under a single logical framework.”
