CHICAGO, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — UScellular is expanding its “Life in US Mode” content series to amplify the voices of six female collegiate athletes and promote healthy digital habits. The Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) program aims to spark meaningful discussions and drive awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between online and real-life connections, especially among female athletes.

UScellular is amplifying the voices of six female collegiate athletes to help promote healthy digital habits.

The increased attention on women’s sports has had an overwhelmingly positive impact, inspiring more young women to envision a future in sports. At the same time, it has also brought additional scrutiny and occasional negativity to the athletes themselves. According to a report conducted by Loughborough University, up to 1/3 of social posts aimed at athletes are negative, and female athletes are disproportionately affected.*

The “Life in US Mode” content series will explore a very topical and inspiring group of female college athletes to share their stories on how they connect with fans online and in real life, block out negativity and stay present in their daily lives. They may also participate in UScellular events during the year to engage with fans. These athletes include:

Brooke Alban, West Virginia University GymnasticsCourtney Colarullo, University of Maine HockeyAudi Crooks, Iowa State University BasketballLia Howard, University of Illinois SoccerDevyn Robinson, University of Wisconsin VolleyballHannah Stuelke, University of Iowa Basketball

“Mental health plays a huge role in the lives of student-athletes. With so many factors out of our control in today’s digital world, practicing healthy habits and sharing our personal stories can make a huge impact,” shared Stuelke. “UScellular’s ‘Life in US Mode’ offers a platform for female student-athletes like me to drive this mission forward, encouraging current and future athletes to set a positive example.”

The series kicks off with an Instagram post from Robinson talking about the importance of connecting with her teammates off the court.

“Through the highs and lows of being a student athlete, I can lean on the connections I’ve made with my teammates to help support me on and off the court,” said Robinson. “I’m really excited to be working with UScellular to help share my story to inspire young female athletes to do the same: to be confident, to cut out the noise, and to achieve their dreams, no matter what.”

UScellular has been a longtime proponent of creating healthier digital habits and launched its “Built For US” platform with “US Mode” in Spring of 2023. This is the third year it has supported collegiate athletes through Name, Image and Likeness opportunities, and this year’s program expands on the “Life in US Mode” series that also includes stories from musicians Chase Rice and Alanis Morissette.

“Sports can be instrumental in young people’s lives, and having athletes to admire can inspire them to confidently follow their own path,” said Verchele Roberts, vice president of brand management at UScellular. “We are in awe of these athletes every day – not only by their in-game performances, but by how they carry themselves outside of competition. Our ‘Life in US Mode’ NIL program is about amplifying their unique voices and understanding the need to be intentional about creating the time and space for the important people in our lives.”

Fans can get in on the action by following UScellular social media accounts or the athletes’ Instagram, TikTok or YouTube accounts.

BingX Introduces ALTCOIN Index Futures Trading: One Click, Countless Trends

Published

December 27, 2024

VILNIUS, Lithuania, Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BingX, a global leading cryptocurrency exchange, is excited to announce the launch of ALTCOIN Index, the first futures trading pair involving top altcoins. This innovative trading product offers users a one-click solution to efficiently track and trade major cryptocurrency trends with ease.

Traditionally used in stock markets, a futures index is a financial derivative that tracks the performance of a group of assets, such as stocks of commodities. These instruments were first introduced to simplify trading by allowing investors to speculate on or hedge against the collective movements of selected market sectors. Instead of purchasing individual stocks, traders are able to access broad market exposure in a single transaction, saving time and reducing costs.

In the cryptocurrency market, this new ALTCOIN/USDT futures trading pair works similarly by bundling the performance of the top mainstream cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins. The current index includes ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB, DOGE, ADA, TRX, AVAX, and SHIB. This approach is more efficient compared to buying individual cryptocurrencies or ETFs as this allows for direct speculation using tiered leverage options without the need to manage multiple positions, effectively diversifying trading risks associated with individual asset volatility.

Vivien Lin, Chief Product Officer of BingX, commented on the new offering: “By aggregating a range of leading cryptocurrencies into a single trading instrument, we’re giving users a practical and efficient way to better capture market trends. This index trading pair should help our less experienced users with their trading goals more easily, particularly when they are unsure which asset to trade and just want to trade major altcoins in general with leverage.”

BingX users can take advantage of tiered leverage options and competitive rates consistent with the platform’s perpetual futures terms, simplifying open order management and enhancing trading efficiency. The platform also ensures that the index composition remains current, with regular quarterly adjustments and temporary updates in response to market conditions.

About BingX
Founded in 2018, BingX is a leading crypto exchange, serving over 10 million users worldwide. BingX offers diversified products and services, including spot, derivatives, copy trading, and asset management – all designed for the evolving needs of users, from beginners to professionals. BingX is committed to providing a trustworthy platform that empowers users with innovative tools and features to elevate their trading proficiency. In 2024, BingX proudly became the official crypto exchange partner of Chelsea Football Club, marking an exciting debut in the world of sports.
