SINGAPORE, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Edge today announced a US$4.5 billion investment to build CGK Campus, one of Indonesia's largest AI-ready hyperscale data center campuses, in the GIIC Industrial Estate in Bekasi. The 500MW CGK Campus marks the company's largest infrastructure commitment to date and underscores Digital Edge's commitment to powering digital transformation in Asia Pacific.
Designed to support the country's rapidly expanding digital economy, the CGK Campus will deliver 500MW of IT capacity at full development, with scalability up to 1GW, establishing a new benchmark for hyperscale and AI-ready capability in Greater Jakarta.
Engineered for next-generation AI workloads with sustainability and operational efficiency at its core, the CGK Campus targets a market-leading annualized PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) of 1.25 and features direct-to-chip liquid cooling, recycled water systems, and renewable energy integration. Carrier-neutral and sustainably designed, the campus delivers efficient energy use, network diversity, and broad ecosystem access – reinforcing its role as a central hub for the Indonesia's digital future.
Strategically located – less than 15 kilometers from other major data center clusters and approximately 40 kilometers from Digital Edge's downtown EDGE1 and EDGE2 facilities – the campus offers low-latency access to the capital's key business districts while anchoring Indonesia's broader digital ecosystem. The campus will be built in multiple phases. Phase one includes three buildings: The first building is scheduled to be ready for service by Q4 2026, followed by the second in Q1 2027 and third in Q2 2027.
"The CGK Campus is a pivotal milestone in our APAC strategy and our largest infrastructure investment to date," said John Freeman, CEO of Digital Edge. "This landmark investment will enable us to drive the next decade of innovation, cloud adoption, and digital services across Indonesia and the broader region."
"Indonesia's digital economy is expanding faster than infrastructure can keep up. The CGK Campus bridges that gap with 500MW of sustainable, carrier-neutral capacity built for hyperscale and AI deployments," added Stephanus Oscar, CEO of Digital Edge Indonesia. "With AI shaping the future of enterprise and cloud services, Digital Edge is at the forefront of this transformation."
The campus will be underpinned by the extensive fiber and network assets of Indonet, Digital Edge's wholly owned Indonesian telecommunications subsidiary. "Our infrastructure provides the connectivity foundation for CGK Campus," said Andy Rigoli, CEO of Indonet. "Our new routes to the GIIC campus are built 100% underground, a design that significantly enhances reliability and resilience compared to traditional deployments. Combined with industry-leading equipment and advanced monitoring, this integration enables Digital Edge to deliver carrier-neutral solutions that meet the highest standards for hyperscale and enterprise customers."

Digital Edge Announces Landmark US$4.5 Billion Investment to Build Indonesia's Largest 500MW AI-Ready Hyperscale Campus

HONG KONG, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Futu Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: FUTU) ("Futu"), a leading securities trading and wealth management fintech platform, today announced that its Futubull and overseas independent brand Moomoo platforms will launch support for Nasdaq's newly introduced Monday and Wednesday options on day one, making Futu one of the first brokers to offer this innovation. This move once again positions Futu at the forefront of the industry in providing top-tier derivatives tools, further meeting the growing global investor demand for flexible options [1] trading and precise risk management.
This launch follows recent SEC approval for Nasdaq to expand options expirations for a premier group of nine high-profile securities [2]—including the so called "Magnificent Seven" stocks, Broadcom (AVGO), and the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT)—will no longer be limited to traditional Friday expirations. Trading frequency will increase from once a week to three times per week, significantly enhancing flexibility for short-term options trading, hedging efficiency, and the ability to capture market volatility.
As a global strategic partner of Nasdaq, Futu celebrated the introduction of these groundbreaking products by livestreaming an exclusive discussion for its global community, featuring Neil McDonald, CEO of Moomoo U.S and Tanya Patwa, Head of U.S. Options Sales, Nasdaq. The conversation provided cutting-edge insights into these newly available options and the evolving options trading landscape.
High-Net-Worth Investors Actively Manage Risk Using Advanced Options Tools
In the heightened market volatility environment of 2026, options played a crucial role in risk management. According to the "2026 Hong Kong Retail Investor Report" recently released by Futu Securities, options trading volume on the platform grew nearly 50% year-on-year. 67% of surveyed HNW investors [3] used options to manage costs or amplify gains, or conduct effective hedging, demonstrating that investors are proactively employing options to manage risk and seize opportunities amid volatility. At the same time, overall U.S. stock options trading volume on the Futu platform surged 86% year-on-year in 2025, reflecting an explosive global demand for U.S. stock options.
Extended Options Expiration Dates Unlock New Investment Strategies; Futu Tools Help Simplify Options Trading
Futu offers up to 13 built-in options strategies, from basic to advanced, allowing for both simplicity and customization, allowing flexible customization of strategy portfolios. The new expirations unlock more strategic possibilities for traders of all levels.
- For fundamental traders, they can now align options strategies more precisely with key market events like earnings reports or economic data releases. .
- For income-focused strategies like Covered Calls or Cash-Secured Puts, traders can potentially amplify premium collection by increasing trade frequency from once (with Friday options) to three times a week.
- And for sophisticated 0DTE (0 Days to expiration) options traders, these expirations enable them to strategically position themselves to either benefit from, or protect against, the amplified gamma-driven price accelerations these very contracts can create.
To help traders navigate this dynamic environment confidently, Futubull provides an industry-leading suite of intuitive, real-time tools:
- The Options Chain: Presents all available contracts for a stock or an ETF, sorted by expiration date and strike price. It displays key real-time data—including premiums, volume, Greeks, and IV—for calls and puts, enabling quick opportunity and risk assessment.
- The Options Price Calculator: Allows investors to model how an option's theoretical price may change based on the three key factors: time to expiry, underlying stock price, and IV. This helps in evaluating the reasonableness of a current price and planning entry/exit timing.
Jeff Shi, Regional Director at Futu Securities stated: "On October 10 last year, when U.S. stocks experienced a sharp decline, the Futubull platform recorded its all-time highest options trading volume in the Hong Kong market. This shows that, rather than retreating in the face of market fluctuations, investors are actively using options to manage risk proactively. With Nasdaq now offering more flexible U.S. stock options trading choices, savvy investors can better utilize options for volatility management, lock in entry costs, and enhance profit potential, thereby balancing risk and return in volatile conditions."

| [1] Options contracts are derivative products. Trading in options is not suitable for many members of the public. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances. The risk of loss in trading options is substantial. In some circumstances, you may sustain losses in excess of your initial margin funds. Placing contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders, will not necessarily avoid loss. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. You may be called upon at short notice to deposit additional margin funds. If the required funds are not provided within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated. You will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account. You should therefore study and understand options before you trade and carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives. If you trade options, you should inform yourself of exercise and expiration procedures and your rights and obligations upon exercise or expiry. |
