Argus launches gasoline price for Middle East
Investments in refining infrastructure and rising regional production have led to calls for a dedicated Middle East gasoline benchmark DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global energy and commodity price reporting agency Argus has launched a new 'MEBOB' daily assessment, directly reflecting the price of gasoline produced and loaded in the Middle East. Refining capacity in the Mideast Gulf has risen to over 10.5mn b/d as of last year. Underlying demand has also grown in and around the region. The production of gasoline has increased in the past seven years from about 1.7mn b/d to close to 2.4mn b/d and gasoline exports have more than doubled to 654,000 b/d from 270,000 b/d, including intra-regional flows. Historically, gasoline made in the Middle East has been priced using a Singapore market value adjusted for freight. But increasingly this approach does not reflect local supply and demand conditions. And recent volatility in tanker freight rates, caused by disruptions on key routes, has added further distortion. As a result, the two markets are increasingly independent of each other. The Argus MEBOB assessment is an outright price based on local activity during the UAE trading day and is not derived from the Singapore market. Argus is facilitating the conduct of trade with its Argus Open Markets platform — a real-time electronic price discovery tool. Argus Media chairman and chief executive Adrian Binks said: 'The Middle East needs its own independently assessed gasoline price representing local market fundamentals and not those of a faraway and increasingly disconnected region. The MEBOB price offers important transparency, will enable better risk management and planning, and completes a global market picture.' The new MEBOB price has been developed in close consultation with local producing, consuming and trading companies. It represents the price of oxygenated 92 Ron gasoline, which is widely available in the region, as loaded in Fujairah, Jebel Ali or Sohar. Market information about other qualities of gasoline and loading ports can also be considered on an adjusted basis to create the price. Argus also publishes octane and crack spreads to further increase transparency in the region. The MEBOB price complements the Argus Eurobob gasoline price, which is the industry-wide benchmark for Europe. Derivatives settled on Argus Eurobob are used to manage price exposure across Europe and the global gasoline complex.

BDIC HK LTD Launches StableCover Pro to Provide Risk Coverage for Institutional Stablecoin Holdings
HONG KONG, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BDIC HK LTD (a division of Blockchain Deposit Insurance Corporation) released news today and had further comments by Co-Founder and PanAsia MD, as well as the Founder / CEO, as the crypto insurance provider laid out its tactical plans around the emergence of stablecoins in the digital economy. The company representatives see the timing of the complimentary product launch of StableCover Pro (alongside its standard digital currency insurance solution) for the corporate clients to be perfect. StableCover Pro will be providing comprehensive risk coverage for digital currency stablecoin assets that meet strict regulatory standard: Full backing by U.S. cash or Treasury bills, guaranteed 1:1 redemption rights, consistent peg maintenance, and independent reserve attestations. Paul Kohli, the MD of PanAsia and Co-Founder, comments covered how StableCover Pro was designed by BDIC from the ground up to align with the needs of sophisticated market participants (mostly institutional and large corporate clients) addressing the convergence of traditional treasury management and blockchain-native digital instruments. Said the second generation Hong Kong resident, 'With this launch, BDIC has further solidified its position as the global leading insurance infrastructure provider for the evolving digital finance landscape.' Kohli continued elaborating, 'The stability BDIC will bring in the normalization for users and platform providers, wallets and exchanges alike,will be additionally executed for corporate treasury management heading into what seems to be a perfect storm for crypto adoption at the institutional level going forward.' BDIC Founder and CEO Jeffrey A. Glusman added, 'StableCover Pro fills a new critical gap in the market based on the interim regulatory guidance.' Who also said when asked about recent US proposed changes and landscape for stablecoins going forward, 'The SEC's recognition of compliant stablecoins as cash equivalents is a watershed moment in financial regulation for the US and the globe. It allows institutions, public and private, to hold digital assets via stablecoins with accounting legitimacy, which is great. However that doesn't eliminate risk. BDIC's goal in delivery of StableCover Pro is to provide the same confidence and operational protection institutions expect when holding fiat or sovereign debt, now applied to digital dollars. This will enhance adoption for corporate balance sheets.' A New Standard for Digital Asset Treasury Protection When asked who the prototypical adopter of the coverage is, Kohli's response was institutional use focus, 'StableCover Pro is purpose-built for Fortune 500 companies, commercial banks, asset managers, pensions, endowments, and insurance firms that are increasingly exploring stablecoins as a functional part of their treasury operations. Family offices will be a no brainer use case to provide extra protection for ultra high net worth wealth'.The PanAsia MD further stated, 'As stablecoins transition from speculative trading tools to bona fide financial infrastructure, risk mitigation becomes essential, not optional, and BDIC will be the insurer leading the crypto space in coverage.' Further details provided by Kohli and the company summary brief on the comprehensive coverage are provided below, as well as plans for product growth and timing of delivery: Core Protection Package includes: Reserve Failure Coverage Protection in the event the stablecoin issuer becomes insolvent or falls below required reserve thresholds, which could jeopardize the coin's 1:1 backing. Redemption Guarantee Safeguards institutional holders during times of stress by covering failed or delayed redemptions beyond an established timeframe. Regulatory Compliance Protection Protects holders from material financial impact if the SEC revokes a stablecoin's cash-equivalent status, including accounting treatment changes and legal expenses. Custody & Technical Risk Coverage Covers losses stemming from smart contract failures, wallet breaches, key mismanagement, or custodian-related issues, including insolvency or operational lapses. Additionally, BDIC plans to offer Premium Add-On Modules to address more nuanced institutional risks which are becoming more and more common, such as: Market Disruption Coverage Protection during periods of extreme volatility or systemic liquidity crunches, particularly those resulting in temporary de-pegs or redemption panics. Cross-Chain Risk Protection Tailored for stablecoins deployed across multiple blockchain environments or bridged onto non-native networks, addressing potential bridge failures and inconsistencies. Why It Matters Now – Timing is Everything for BDIC As the company just announced last week its emerging business BDIC RWA Consulting focusing on tokenization projects and insuring tokens which qualify for the insurers platform, the company vision was further detailed as BDIC leadership recognized the turn of the tide since January in the US. The last six months of US regulatory momentum, which made StableCover Pro an easy add to the offering lineup based on recent progress, and the timing of the RWA division as tokenization momentum continues, are both the result of teamwork at BDIC as equally important developed in response to partner and client requests. Additionally, the company sees the SEC's guidance confirming properly backed stablecoins will be classified as cash equivalents to be a turning point in how digital currency assets are treated on corporate balance sheets going forward and further fuels the token projects in the future. In the BDIC business plan and go to market strategy, this unlocks a new class of enterprise adoption now, when in fact the company thought it was potentially years away. This new revenue driver potential is massive for BDIC, but it also ushers in new fiduciary responsibilities around custody, redemption mechanics, and regulatory status so the company has two aspects to address, the first being the solution for the industry and second internal protocols in compliance and security. BDIC is meeting that moment with StableCover Pro—delivering the solution the offers the protection empowering institutions to engage with digital currency assets confidently, compliantly, and at scale with wallet platforms and exchange affiliate partners at its core for retail user protection, the corporate revenue driver in this space will potentially be a significant revenue increase as adoption rates climb steadily. As the company executes on strategic wallet provider and exchange affiliate partners, it continues to expand its coverage internationally with planned operations in the Caribbean being added to the timeline as well as cooperation with new Sovereign Fund partners around balance sheet assets and debt offerings planned for 2026. Further details on infrastructure partners, industry collaborations and Q4 product delivery were discussed at high levels with focus on security, transparency and consumer needs remaining company priorities as it expands its coverage and product offerings. The company detailed further plans to roll out the C suite executive announcements in addition to several news releases in October leading up to the utility coin offering, including announcing affiliate wallet and exchange partners over the next two months prior to its TGE planned in November as well.
