ABU DHABI, UAE, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Binance today introduced Foreign Exchange (“FX”) perpetual futures under its TradFi Perpetual product category, bringing regulated USDT-settled, 24/7 access to the world’s most actively traded market. The first FX perpetual contract, USDBRLUSDT (USD/Brazil Real), will go live on September 21, 2026 at 14:00 (UTC). “FX is one of the world’s most foundational markets, traded every moment to hedge and express macro views. Unlike most traditional asset classes, FX already operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, and weekend trading activity is growing — though liquidity is not as robust outside weekday sessions. With Binance’s deep liquidity and global user base, we’re well positioned to extend continuous price discovery into the gaps that traditional FX cannot cover, giving traders a single venue to express macro views, hedge exposure, and capture opportunity around the clock,” said Shunyet Jan, Head of Exchange and Trading at Binance.

Skye Africa Intelligence (Pty) Ltd (“Skye”) today announced that an established Tanzanian tourism business owned by Ernest Magesa has commercially commissioned SafariOS, a conversational AI concierge named for the visitor journey — the African safari — not for a browser or an operating system.

SafariOS applies conversational concierge technology previously used in hospitality and puts it to work in Tanzania’s visitor market. The first release is hotel guest assistance: property information, housekeeping and room-service requests, dining and transport guidance, and a path to a person when one is needed. From there the same conversation can open onto more of the journey — restaurants, excursions, safari operators, onward travel — as participating businesses come onto the platform.
