باندونغ، إندونيسيا, Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — أدّت إندونيسيا دورًا استراتيجيًا ومستمرًا في شبكة DCVMN من خلال شركة PT Bio Farma (Persero)، ساعيةً إلى ضمان الوصول العادل إلى لقاحات آمنة وفعّالة وعالية الجودة وبأسعار مناسبة. ومنذ تأسيس شبكة DCVMN في عام 2000، كانت Bio Farma أحد المحرّكات الرئيسية لتعزيز الاكتفاء الذاتي من اللقاحات وبناء القدرات الصحية العامة في الدول النامية. تعود جذور التعاون بين Bio Farma وDCVMN إلى تأسيس الشبكة نفسها. وفي الاجتماع السنوي الأول لشبكة DCVMN الذي عُقد في مدينة نوردفيك عام 2000، كانت Bio Farma واحدة من عشرة أعضاء مؤسسين تعهّدوا بتكريس جهودهم لتعزيز التعاون في مجال اللقاحات. وفي أبريل 2001، استضافت Bio Farma في باندونغ الاجتماع السنوي الثاني، الذي شهد إرساء الهيكل التنظيمي ونظام الحوكمة للشبكة. وقد ترأّس الاجتماع المدير العام آنذاك Thamrin Poeloengan، مما رسّخ مكانة إندونيسيا كمركز للتعاون وتبادل المعرفة في مجال اللقاحات بين الدول النامية. أكد Shadiq Akasya، الرئيس التنفيذي الحالي لشركة Bio Farma، أن مشاركة الشركة في شبكة DCVMN تجسّد التزام إندونيسيا بالمساهمة في الصحة العالمية بما يتجاوز مصالحها الوطنية. وقال Shadiq: “إن مشاركة شركة Bio Farma في شبكة DCVMN منذ تأسيسها لا تقتصر على التمثيل فحسب، بل تتمحور حول الإسهام الفعلي في تحقيق الاكتفاء الذاتي العالمي من اللقاحات. ومن خلال التعاون والابتكار، نلتزم بتقديم حلول رعاية صحية شاملة ومستدامة للجميع.” وأضاف قائلًا: “نؤمن بأن القوة الحقيقية لصناعة اللقاحات في الدول النامية تكمن في التعاون. ومن خلال دورنا الفاعل في شبكة DCVMN، نسعى لضمان حصول كل دولة على لقاحات آمنة وفعّالة وعالية الجودة وبأسعار مناسبة، وهو تجسيد حقيقي لمساهمة إندونيسيا في الأمن الصحي العالمي.” وفي عام 2004، أدّت Bio Farma، بالتعاون مع أعضاء آخرين في شبكة DCVMN، دورًا محوريًا في توسيع نطاق الوصول إلى لقاح pentavalent (DPT-HepB-Hib) من خلال نقل التكنولوجيا بالتعاون مع Netherlands Vaccine Institute. وقد أظهر هذا الإنجاز أن مساهمات Bio Farma ضمن شبكة DCVMN ليست رمزية فحسب، بل تقنية

Bitget Releases October 2025 Proof of Reserves (POR) with 307% Coverage in Bitcoin (BTC) for Users’ Reserves VICTORIA, Seychelles, Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX) and Web3 company, has released its October 2025 Proof of Reserves (PoR) report as a part of its monthly transparency and user protection commitment. This is done via securing core assets and providing an auditable view of balances through a Merkle-tree verification system. The snapshot covers BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC, with user balances and reserve coverage published on the PoR transparency page alongside wallet attestations and a self-check tool that lets account holders verify inclusion using anonymized identifiers. The October ledger shows assets held on behalf of users at approximately 10,275 BTC, 134,096 ETH, 1,773,939,676 USDT, and 108,484,792 USDC. The reserve ratios are 307% for BTC, 105% for USDT, 224% for ETH, and 129% for USDC—each above 1:1 and marked as sufficient reserves. Bitget’s PoR framework applies a Merkle-tree approach that aggregates anonymized account balances and maps them to on-chain holdings, enabling independent verification without revealing personal information. The attestation details include asset-by-asset coverage ratios, public wallet addresses for the reserves, and a verification script for cross-checking inclusion of balances in the tree. The process is designed to be repeatable and observable, allowing the community to validate point-in-time solvency beyond a traditional third-party report. Transparency measures extend to a continuously updated PoR portal and a standing protection mechanism that is separately valued and reported. Together, these controls aim to provide users, counterparties, and the wider market with clear evidence of asset backing, custody segregation, and immediate availability of funds. “Transparent reserve reporting is a baseline for exchanges,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “The October update keeps coverage comfortably above 100% across major assets and reinforces the
