Platform surpasses 500,000 users with AI analyzing 10,000+ securities daily to deliver personalized, actionable market analysis

Edgen today announced the launch of its autonomous AI intelligence system, designed to identify complex correlations between macro events and market movements without the need for manual user prompting or traditional chatbot queries.

The launch follows a major milestone for the company, as Edgen’s global user base surpassed 500,000 registered accounts. Unlike conversational AI tools, Edgen’s infrastructure operates continuously to surface data-driven insights and market signals tailored to a user’s specific areas of interest.

“The problem with AI chat interfaces is that you need to know what to ask,” said Sean Tao, CEO and Co-Founder of Edgen. “Most investors don’t have time to check markets daily or understand how a Fed decision might affect assets. Our system does that work autonomously. It finds the correlations, evaluates the impact on specific asset, and delivers signals you can actually use.”

From Reactive Chat to Proactive Intelligence

Edgen’s architecture represents a fundamental shift from reactive AI assistance to autonomous market surveillance. The platform uses a proprietary financial knowledge graph that automatically maps relationships between macroeconomic developments, sector movements, and individual securities across US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and cryptocurrency markets.

When significant market events occur whether geopolitical shifts, central bank decisions, or large-cap stock movements, Edgen’s system identifies correlated opportunities and risks, then delivers structured analysis without waiting for user input.

This approach addresses critical limitations of general-purpose AI models in finance: hallucinated stock prices, inability to access real-time data, and the requirement for users to constantly monitor and prompt the system.

Institutional Workflows, Personalized Execution

Edgen mirrors how professional investment teams operate, but adapts the process for individuals. The platform divides analytical responsibilities across specialized AI agents, including fundamentals, technicals, sentiment, macro trends, then consolidates their findings into personalized, action-ready analysis.

At launch, the system delivers:

Edgen Picks: Algorithmically identified stocks based on multi-factor screening, with detailed breakdowns of technical patterns, fundamental metrics, and risk parameters. Updated dynamically as market conditions change.

Weekly Earnings Play: Pre-earnings probability modeling that identifies potential price movements based on historical patterns, positioning, and market expectations.

Thematic Discovery: Early identification of emerging market themes and sectors, with asset recommendations.

Each analysis includes actionable parameters designed for execution. Users receive specific entry points, position sizing guidance, and risk considerations.

Built for Users Who Can’t Watch Markets Daily

Edgen targets users who want professional-grade market intelligence without dedicating hours to research, news monitoring, or manual AI prompting. The platform learns from data interactions to refine signal personalization over time.

“We’re not replacing human judgment. We’re augmenting it with a system that never sleeps and sees patterns across thousands of data points that would take a person weeks to connect,” Sean added. “The value is in proactive insight, not on-demand answers.”

The autonomous AI system is available today at https://www.edgen.tech/ through multiple subscription tiers, with a limited free tier for exploration.

About Edgen

Edgen is a leading AI-powered market intelligence operating system. Through its proprietary Efficient Decision Guidance Model (EDGM), the platform transforms high barrier institutional-grade strategies into universally accessible smart tools. Pioneering the “Cognition-as-a-Service” (CaaS) architecture, Edgen integrates modular AI agents, real-time data, and market analytics to empower retail traders and independent analysts to navigate markets with institutional-grade precision.

Backed by Framework Ventures and North Island Ventures, Edgen’s technical team combines former Wall Street quantitative trading experts and AI infrastructure developers, collectively building the cognitive infrastructure for next-generation open finance.

Bitcoin (BTC) price recovered slightly to $68,000 as it still failed to reclaim $70,000. However, if you zoom out, it should be noted that BTC has recovered from a weekly low of $60,000.

Plus, it looks like institutions are taking advantage of the dip to stock up on Bitcoin.

Binance Bets on Bitcoin

Binance has completed a 30-day transition to convert its SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users) reserve entirely into Bitcoin. Previously backed by a mix of assets including stablecoins, the fund is now fully denominated in BTC, with Binance committing to top it up if its value falls below $800 million due to market volatility. 

The shift follows a late-January announcement that it would convert $1 billion in dollar-pegged tokens into bitcoin, reinforcing its stance that BTC is a long-term reserve asset.

The move reflects a broader trend of companies adopting bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset amid inflation concerns and low yields in traditional markets. Binance began the transition on February 2 with an onchain transfer of 1,315 BTC (around $100 million at the time) into SAFU.

Speaking of Binance, here is an interesting chart from Santiment.

Santiment noted, 

According to exchange flow numbers, there have been a net outflow of 19,162 $BTC from exchanges over the past week. Primarily due to the crowd’s distrust of Binance in relation to its involvement of the October 10, 2025 dump, we may continue to see coins moving back into cold wallets, or on to other exchanges where retail continues to look for opportunities to panic sell.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis 

Bitcoin (BTC) went up slightly this Thursday as the price went up a bit from $67,000 to $68,000.

Source: TradingView

The relative strength index (RSI) is on the verge of being oversold, showing that the overall retail interest is still low. The price has trended inside the 20-day Bollinger Band, however the jaws are still wide open showing that Bitcoin(BTC) price volatility is still high.

Bitcoin’s bounce from $60,000 looks more like a technical rebound from oversold levels than the start of a strong new uptrend. Retail participation remains muted, with futures open interest slipping to $46 billion from $46.7 billion a day earlier, according to CoinGlass, and continuing its decline from $48 billion on Saturday. 

For the rally to have real momentum, open interest on Bitcoin price needs to trend higher. Without fresh positioning and stronger retail involvement, the chances of a sustained move toward $80,000 remain limited.

Nour Private Wealth (NPW) announces the expansion of its multi-family office platform to include investment fund management capabilities under Nour Private Management, an affiliate of Nour Private Wealth. This strategic initiative provides ultra-high-net-worth families with additional tailored solutions and structured access to private-market opportunities, all within NPW’s integrated advisory framework.

Family offices are increasingly seeking direct exposure to private markets while maintaining disciplined oversight,

said Elie Nour, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NPW. By expanding into fund management, we enable families to access institutional-quality strategies without the need to build a standalone infrastructure. Our approach combines discretion, governance, and sophisticated portfolio coordination to preserve wealth across generations.

The move aligns with a global trend of family offices shifting toward direct investment in private companies, infrastructure, and alternative assets. According to Preqin, the number of family offices with private-market allocations has grown substantially since 2016, reflecting sustained expansion across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. In North America, private markets now account for approximately 29% of the average family office allocation, underscoring their growing role in diversification and long-term capital deployment.

Direct Access and Hybrid Portfolios

Family offices are evolving beyond fund-only models to embrace direct investing strategies that offer greater control, transparency, and influence over investment structures. Common approaches include:

Co-investments alongside established sponsors.

Club deals to access larger or more complex transactions.

Thematic allocations in sectors such as infrastructure, healthcare innovation, and technology.

Minority growth investments or participation in buyouts.

Many offices maintain hybrid frameworks that combine primary private funds, secondaries or fund-of-funds, and direct or co-investments. This balance allows families to pursue conviction-driven opportunities while managing liquidity and diversification.

Institutionalization and NPW’s Strategic Response

As family offices institutionalize, multi-family offices are enhancing services to include investment structuring, consolidated reporting, governance coordination, and integrated, tax-aware portfolio construction. Advanced technology platforms now support sophisticated risk management and performance oversight.

NPW’s fund management expansion represents a strategic evolution of its advisory model. Families benefit from coordinated portfolio construction, consolidated reporting, and structured access to private-market strategies—all supported by external legal, tax, and estate professionals.

Ultra-high-net-worth families require both flexibility and rigour in their investment approach,

added Nour. Our platform delivers both, enabling strategic participation in private markets while maintaining governance, compliance, and long-term stewardship.

About Nour Private Wealth

Nour Private Wealth (NPW) is a trade name of Nour Private Wealth Inc., a member of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) and the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF). The firm provides multi-family office and private wealth management services to ultra-high-net-worth families, including portfolio management (discretionary), consolidated reporting, governance coordination, and integrated planning solutions across public and private markets.

BYDFi, a global cryptocurrency trading platform, announced its participation as a sponsor of Solana Accelerate APAC during Consensus Hong Kong 2026. The event was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre alongside the broader Consensus Hong Kong conference.

The combined gathering brought together founders, institutional representatives, policymakers, and blockchain developers, underscoring Hong Kong’s role as a regional hub and an established meeting point for Web3 and blockchain innovation across the Asia-Pacific region.

BYDFi at Solana Accelerate APAC in Hong Kong

Solana Accelerate APAC convened the Solana community and broader crypto ecosystem around the future of internet capital markets and onchain innovation, set against the backdrop of a global financial center known for clear frameworks and active market participation. BYDFi’s participation marked a first, deeper step into Solana-focused programming and community dialogue. Discussions also reflected ongoing market focus on crypto regulation in Hong Kong and crypto licensing in Hong Kong.

During the event, the BYDFi team was on site to meet attendees, share product context, and distribute limited merchandise, including Newcastle United co-branded items as part of BYDFi’s ongoing brand collaboration with the club. The booth saw strong foot traffic throughout the day.

What BYDFi Is Sharing in Hong Kong

BYDFi used the event to share how a CEX + DEX dual-engine approach can support clearer participation across venues and workflows, particularly for users who want both centralized liquidity and onchain discovery in one connected experience. MoonX, BYDFi’s onchain trading engine, supports Solana and is designed to help users track and navigate fast moving onchain markets with a workflow built for speed, signal clarity, and execution efficiency.

In parallel, BYDFi highlighted reliability foundations that support long term trust in volatile markets, with an emphasis on operational safeguards and service responsiveness. These include over 1:1 Proof of Reserves with periodic public reporting, an 800 BTC Protection Fund, and 24/7 multilingual customer support with timely responses across official channels, including social media.

Why This Matters for BYDFi and the Solana Ecosystem

Solana Accelerate APAC brought ecosystem builders and market infrastructure discussions into the same orbit. BYDFi’s participation centered on two goals: listening closely to Solana-native users and teams, and exploring deeper collaboration opportunities that can strengthen product coverage, user experience, and market access as the crypto market continues to mature.

Michael, Co-Founder and CEO of BYDFi, said: Solana Accelerate APAC creates the right setting for practical conversations between builders, market participants, and policymakers. BYDFi joined to learn, connect, and contribute in a way that holds up over time. Reliability is built through consistent infrastructure, clear safeguards, and responsive support, and BYDFi will continue strengthening all three as engagement across the Solana ecosystem deepens.

Dubai, UAE, February 12th, 2026, Chainwire

Flipster, a global cryptocurrency trading platform, has received in-principle approval from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) under Flipster FZE. The approval is a key milestone in Flipster’s expansion into the Middle East and reinforces its focus on building safe, compliant access to digital assets in regulated markets.

Over 100 million users can now fund their TON Wallet using crypto from the most popular blockchains – no additional bridges, swaps or manual conversions required.

Wallet in Telegram today announced the launch of cross-chain deposits in its self-custodial TON Wallet, enabling users to fund their wallets with crypto from the most popular blockchains. Powered by MoonPay, the integration manages cross-chain transfers behind the scenes, ensuring a smooth deposit experience in TON Wallet.

With this launch, more than 100 million users can transfer their stablecoins from other chains to TON without friction or losing value. TON Wallet users can now deposit USDC or USDT from Ethereum, Solana, TRON, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Base – converted at a 1:1 rate to USDT (TON) – directly in Wallet in Telegram. This removes the need to already hold TON-native assets, opening the ecosystem to users across the broader crypto landscape. As part of the integration, users will soon be able to withdraw USDT on TON to USDT or USDC on popular blockchains with a fee and deposit BTC, ETH, and SOL, which are automatically converted into Toncoin.

This Launch Introduces the Following Functionality

Stablecoin deposits from leading blockchains, allowing users to deposit USDC or USDT with automatic 1:1 conversion into USDT (TON)

Stablecoin withdrawals from USDT (TON) to USDT or USDC on other major blockchains, processed at a 1:1 rate, subject to applicable network and service fees. Will be available soon.

Crypto deposits from BTC, ETH, and SOL, which are automatically converted into Toncoin upon arrival in TON Wallet

Removing Barriers to Web3 Adoption on Telegram

Funding a self-custodial wallet has traditionally been a complex, multi-step process. Through its collaboration with MoonPay, Wallet in Telegram removes this friction by introducing a single, seamless deposit flow that works across blockchains and assets. As a result, cross-chain transfers are now as simple as custodial ones, significantly streamlining onboarding into TON Ecosystem – while preserving value by minimizing unnecessary conversion losses and fees.

One of the biggest challenges in crypto adoption is the first step – getting users funded and ready to participate. Until now, using TON Wallet meant already having assets on TON, which created unnecessary friction and limited access to the broader ecosystem. Now, we’re removing that barrier entirely. Users can bring their funds directly into TON Wallet from other networks, without unnecessary conversions, exchanges or lock-ins,

said Andrew Rogozov, Founder and CEO of The Open Platform and Wallet in Telegram. Our goal is simple: make entering, and exiting, TON ecosystem as seamless as using a custodial wallet, while preserving the freedom and control of self-custody.

Powered by MoonPay Deposits and built on MoonPay’s infrastructure, the solution supports the end-to-end flow, from deposit detection to final asset delivery, and is integrated natively into partner environments

Users shouldn’t have to buy new assets or navigate complex steps just to fund an account,

said Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO of MoonPay. We simplify the process by letting people use the crypto they already have while we handle the technicalities behind the scenes, making it easier to move value across the ecosystem and access a broader range of applications.

Funding a TON Wallet now takes just a few steps

The Deposit section includes two options: Stablecoins (for 1:1 stablecoin deposits) and Other Crypto (for converting BTC, ETH, or SOL to TON).

After selecting the token and the originating network, a deposit address is generated automatically.

The deposit address can be copied or accessed via QR code.

This address is entered on the withdrawal page of the external wallet or exchange.

The transfer amount must meet the minimum deposit requirement.

Once the details are verified, the transfer is confirmed on the sending platform.

Funds arrive in the user’s selected asset, fully compatible with TON ecosystem and Telegram’s growing network of decentralized applications.

Built for Scale, Native to Telegram

The new deposit experience is available exclusively in the self-custodial TON Wallet, part of Wallet in Telegram’s dual-wallet setup, and is fully integrated into the Telegram interface. By abstracting away cross-chain complexity, Wallet in Telegram makes it easier for users to participate in DeFi, gaming, payments, and on-chain apps – without needing deep crypto expertise.

This launch marks a major step toward making Telegram the most accessible Web3 gateway in the world, combining mass-market distribution with self-custody and open blockchain infrastructure.

About Wallet in Telegram

Wallet in Telegram is a digital asset solution natively embedded into Telegram’s interface. Backed by The Open Platform, Wallet in Telegram has gained 150M+ registered users to date and continues to grow. The company offers a dual-wallet experience with Crypto Wallet (a multi-chain wallet for trading and sending crypto to contacts) and TON Wallet (a self-custodial wallet with access to TON ecosystem of apps and TON-based digital assets).

About MoonPay

Founded in 2019, MoonPay is a global financial technology company that helps businesses and consumers move value across fiat and digital assets. MoonPay has more than 30 million customers across 180 countries and supports more than 500 enterprise customers spanning crypto and fintech.

Bitcoin (BTC) slumped over 3% on Wednesday after failing to reclaim $70,000 as markets tried to digest expectations of a hawkish shift in the Federal Reserve’s macro outlook.

Analysts have flagged Kevin Warsh’s nomination as the next Fed Chair as a key reason for the market’s current price action. Traders expect tighter liquidity and fewer rate cuts under Warsh. 

Bitcoin traded between $68,500 and $70,000 on Tuesday but lost momentum on Wednesday as markets reacted to expectations of a more hawkish macro outlook. As a result, the flagship cryptocurrency slumped below $67,000, down 3.51% over the past 24 hours. 

Goldman Sachs Trims Bitcoin ETF Holdings By 40% 

Goldman Sachs has significantly reduced its exposure to spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. According to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the investment bank reduced its spot Bitcoin ETF holdings by 39.4% in the fourth quarter. Goldman Sachs held 21.2 million shares across several spot Bitcoin ETFs as of December 31, 2025. According to its Form 13F, the combined value of the shares was around $1.06 billion. Additionally, Goldman Sachs held 40.7 million shares of spot Ethereum ETFs, valued at around $1 billion. The investment banking giant reduced its spot Ethereum ETF holdings by 27%, while adding positions in spot XRP and Solana ETFs. 

Crypto, Banking Executives Still At An Impasse 

US crypto and banking officials met at the White House to discuss the stablecoin yield deadlock. While the meeting ended at an impasse, officials described the talks as productive, but conceded that a satisfactory outcome remains elusive. The meeting is part of a series of closed-door discussions underway to resolve the deadlock between the crypto and banking industries over stablecoin yields. 

Banks argue that allowing stablecoin yields would drain deposits from savings accounts, potentially causing liquidity issues. However, crypto firms argue that prohibiting stablecoin yields stifles innovation. Several key figures from the crypto and banking industries participated in the discussion. This included executives from Ripple, Coinbase, the Blockchain Association, and the Crypto Council for Innovation, representing the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Executives from banking institutions, including Citi, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and the American Bankers Association, represented banking interests. 

According to a leaked document, banks took an inflexible stance on stablecoin yields during the meeting. The document revealed that banks laid out several “prohibition principles” on yield and interest, and called for a ban on any financial or non-financial benefits linked to holding, owning, or using stablecoins. They also called for the strict enforcement of anti-evasion measures and restrictions on marketing or representations implying yields represent deposits or insured interests. A source familiar with the meeting stated that crypto stakeholders pushed back strongly against the proposals. 

It seemed like there was a pretty strong and negative reaction from the crypto side on a lot of them, particularly like anti-evasion and enforcement, and that kind of line of thinking.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs Extend Inflow Streak 

Spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their inflow streak to offset last week’s outflows. According to CoinGlass data, the ETFs recorded $371 million in inflows on Friday, followed by $144 million on Monday and $166.5 million on Tuesday. The inflows have nearly offset last week’s $318 million in outflows after nearly three weeks of losses. Momentum has returned in recent sessions despite Bitcoin’s struggle to register a meaningful uptrend. The flagship cryptocurrency failed to reclaim the $70,000 mark on Tuesday. Renewed selling pressure has pushed the price below $67,000 during the ongoing session. 

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas revealed on Tuesday that most Bitcoin ETF investors held their positions during the recent downturn. The analyst estimates only 6% of the total assets exited the funds despite Bitcoin’s sharp downturn. 

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis 

Bitcoin (BTC) dropped sharply on Wednesday as investors came to terms with the harsh reality of a hawkish US macro outlook. The flagship cryptocurrency slumped below the $67,000 mark and remained down by over 3%, trading around $66,653. 

Analysts attributed the downturn to shifting expectations around US macro policy. Markets have interpreted the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair as a hawkish signal, expecting tighter liquidity and fewer rate cuts in the months ahead. Andri Fauzan Adziima, research lead at Bitrue, stated that Bitcoin could stabilize between the $60,000 and $65,000 mark. 

Traders now watch for stabilization around $60,000-$65,000 support or renewed macro easing to spark any rebound.

Vincent Liu, CIO of Kronos Research, stated that excess leverage has been flushed out of the market, and institutional capital is waiting for clearer signals before re-entering the market. 

BTC and ETH dipped as exchanges saw deep deleveraging, with funding rates signaling most leveraged positions have been cleared.

Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows have also picked up, recording a third consecutive day of inflows on Tuesday with $166.6 million. Price action in recent sessions does not look too promising for Bitcoin, despite it starting the previous week in positive territory. Momentum couldn’t last, and the flagship cryptocurrency fell nearly 4% to $75,661 on Tuesday. Sellers retained control on Wednesday as the price fell 3.52% to $72,998. Selling pressure intensified on Thursday as BTC slipped below $70,000, falling nearly 14% to $62,791.

Source: TradingView

Selling pressure initially intensified on Friday as BTC fell to a low of $60,000. However, dip buyers entered the fray, and the price rose over 12% to reclaim $70,000 and settle at $70,527. Price action was mixed over the weekend as BTC fell 1.82% on Saturday before rallying to an intraday high of $72,232 on Sunday. It ultimately settled around $70,279, up 1.49%. Selling pressure and volatility returned on Monday, with the price registering a marginal decline. Sellers retained control on Tuesday as BTC fell 1.85%, slipping back below $70,000 to $68,803. BTC is down over 3% during the ongoing session, trading around $66,484 after failing to reclaim the $70,000 mark.

In an era where financial surveillance is becoming the global norm, the demand for true digital anonymity has never been higher. As our lives migrate further into the digital realm, the “privacy-by-default” ethos is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity. While many blockchain projects attempt to strike a balance between transparency and security, few have achieved the rigorous standards required for total transactional confidentiality. Enter Zano (ZANO), a leading privacy-centric Layer-1 blockchain designed specifically for the modern digital economy.

Providing the technology is only half the battle; accessibility is the other. To bring these privacy tools to the masses, a bridge must exist that respects the user’s anonymity. This is why the availability of ZANO on StealthEX, a premier instant crypto exchange, is a landmark development. Users worldwide can now acquire and swap ZANO tokens easily, simply, and without the invasive hurdles of traditional finance.

What Is Zano? The Privacy Evolution

Zano is not just another privacy coin; it is the culmination of years of cryptographic research and development. To understand its importance, one must look at its lineage. Zano’s lead developer, Andrey Sabelnikov, was the creator of the original CryptoNote protocol, the very foundation upon which Monero was built. With ZANO, the team has evolved that original vision into a scalable, ecosystem-friendly platform.

The Technical Edge: Hybrid Consensus

Unlike traditional blockchains that rely solely on mining or staking, Zano employs a unique Hybrid Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism. This dual-layer approach enhances network security by making it prohibitively expensive to launch a 51% attack. In this system:

Network Security=Hashrate (PoW)+Staked Capital (PoS)

This hybrid model ensures that the network remains decentralized and resistant to the centralization often seen in pure PoW or PoS chains.

Groundbreaking Features: Zarcanum and Confidential Assets

Zano differentiates itself through several industry-first innovations:

Zarcanum: This is the world’s first hidden-amount PoS scheme. While other PoS blockchains reveal how much a validator is staking, Zarcanum allows for staking while keeping the amounts and the addresses completely confidential.

Confidential Assets: The Zano ecosystem allows developers to create private tokens on its chain. Whether it’s a stablecoin or a utility token, these assets inherit Zano’s privacy features, ensuring that transfers are hidden from prying eyes.

Aliases: Long, complex wallet addresses are a barrier to mass adoption. Zano solves this by allowing users to register Aliases — human-readable names (e.g., @username) that are linked to their encrypted addresses, making the user experience as seamless as a traditional payment app.

Why Use StealthEX for ZANO Swaps?

When dealing with a privacy-focused blockchain like Zano, the method of acquisition matters. Using a centralized exchange (CEX) often requires extensive KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures, which link your real-world identity to your private wallet. StealthEX provides a powerful alternative that aligns with the core values of the Zano community.

A No KYC Crypto Swap Experience

The primary advantage of using StealthEX for Zano swaps is the commitment to user privacy. As a non-custodial service, StealthEX allows you to exchange your assets without requiring registration or account creation. This means:

No personal data collection.

No lengthy verification processes.

Full control over your swap at every step.

Security and Non-Custodial Trading

StealthEX acts as a gateway, sourcing the best Zano price and liquidity from major providers like Binance, Huobi, and MEXC. Because the platform is non-custodial, StealthEX never holds your funds. You send your crypto, the swap is processed, and the ZANO is sent directly to your private wallet. Your private keys remain yours alone.

Limitless and Efficient

Whether you are a small-scale investor or a “whale” looking for significant liquidity, StealthEX offers a limitless exchange environment. There are no upper caps on the amount of ZANO you can swap, and the algorithm ensures you get a competitive market rate with total transparency regarding network fees.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Swap ZANO on StealthEX

Exchanging your existing assets for ZANO is a streamlined process that takes only a few minutes. Follow these simple steps to get started:

Select Currencies and Enter Amount: Visit the StealthEX homepage. Choose the pair you want to exchange — for instance, USDT to ZANO.

Input the amount of crypto you wish to exchange. The platform will automatically calculate the estimated amount of ZANO you will receive based on the current market rate.

Provide Wallet Address: Click the “Start Exchange” button and enter your Zano recipient address. Double-check the information, as blockchain transactions cannot be reversed. Once you’re ready, click “Next” to continue.

Send Funds: StealthEX will generate a unique deposit address for you. Transfer the “Send” currency (e.g., your USDT) from your wallet to this address.

Receive Coins: Once the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, StealthEX will process the swap and send the ZANO directly to your provided wallet. You can track the status of your swap in real-time on the website.

Conclusion: A Privacy Powerhouse at Your Fingertips

The integration of Zano (ZANO) into the StealthEX ecosystem represents a significant leap forward for financial sovereignty. By combining Zano’s sophisticated privacy technology, such as Zarcanum and Confidential Assets, with StealthEX’s seamless, non-custodial exchange platform, the barriers to entry for secure digital finance have been eliminated.

Whether you are looking to protect your wealth from prying eyes or simply want to support the next generation of privacy-centric blockchain development, the tools are now more accessible than ever. There is no longer a need to sacrifice your personal data to participate in the ZANO ecosystem.Ready to experience the future of private transactions?

For decades, trading education has largely existed outside formal academic frameworks. Aspiring traders have often relied on informal courses, bootcamps, or unregulated online content, while traditional finance degrees typically emphasize theory over the practical realities of professional trading.

The ITI–Westcliff partnership addresses this long-standing gap by delivering practitioner-led trading education within an accredited higher-education framework. ITI’s curriculum provides real-world relevance and market-driven expertise, while Westcliff University ensures academic rigor, institutional oversight, and degree conferral.

Together, the institutions share a commitment to excellence, diversity, and challenging students to exceed expectations, offering a program that balances professional credibility with academic legitimacy.

A Comprehensive, Graduate-Level Trading Curriculum

The Master’s in Trading curriculum is designed to reflect the full scope of professional trading performance, integrating technical skill, disciplined process, and human decision-making.

Core areas of study include market structure, execution, risk management, and performance analysis. In addition, the program features dedicated Master’s-level coursework in trading psychology, focused on:

Cognitive performance

Decision-making under pressure

Behavioral awareness and self-management

These courses complement the technical and analytical components of the program and recognize the critical role psychology plays in consistent trading performance. By addressing both strategy and mindset, the curriculum supports the development of disciplined, reflective, and resilient trading professionals.

A Structured Pathway for Long-Term Professional Growth

A foundational principle of the Accredited Trading Program is that professional trading is built through structure, progression, and disciplined practice, rather than ad-hoc learning or isolated tactics.

ITI’s practitioner-led approach emphasizes repeatable processes and real-world application, while Westcliff University’s academic framework ensures the program meets established graduate-level standards. Together, this model provides students with a coherent, credible pathway for long-term development within the trading profession.

As Julie Cook, CEO of the International Trading Institute, explains:

Even for traders who never intend to work within a traditional institution, rigor matters. This partnership ensures students receive an education that is structured, disciplined, and grounded in both professional practice and accredited academic standards.

Looking Ahead

The collaboration between ITI and Westcliff University represents a meaningful step forward in the evolution of trading education, one that aligns industry expertise with accredited higher education.

Both institutions are excited about the opportunities this program creates for future trading professionals seeking depth, legitimacy, and sustained growth in an increasingly complex global market.

Now Accepting Applications 

Applications for the October 2026 Master’s in Trading cohort are now open. Scholarship opportunities may be available to qualifying applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.

AstraZeneca has unveiled a major strategic push into China, committing $15 billion through 2030 to accelerate drug discovery, clinical development, and advanced production capabilities. This move positions the Cambridge-based biopharma powerhouse to capitalize on China’s rapidly evolving innovation landscape while reinforcing its role as a key player in global healthcare.

The announcement came on January 29, 2026, coinciding with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s high-profile visit to Beijing, highlighting strengthened UK-China ties in the life sciences sector. CEO Pascal Soriot described the initiative as a “landmark” step that will enhance AstraZeneca’s ability to pioneer breakthrough treatments, particularly in high-potential areas like cell therapies and radioconjugates for oncology, autoimmune conditions, and other serious diseases.

Scaling Operations and Infrastructure in Key Chinese Hubs

AstraZeneca will build on its established presence by upgrading R&D centers in Beijing and Shanghai, expanding manufacturing plants in Wuxi, Taizhou, Qingdao, and Beijing, and introducing additional new facilities across the country. These sites already supply high-quality medicines to patients in China and over 70 international markets.

The company’s prior $2.5 billion commitment to its Beijing R&D hub in March 2025 marked the largest single greenfield foreign direct investment in China’s biopharma sector to date, according to fDi Markets data. The broader $15 billion plan encompasses the full value chain—from early-stage discovery to large-scale production—while fostering collaborations with local universities, biotechs, and partners.

Since 2023, AstraZeneca has secured 16 global licensing agreements with 15 Chinese entities, underscoring its deepening integration into the local ecosystem.

Workforce Growth and Talent Development

The expansion is expected to increase AstraZeneca’s Chinese employee base from over 17,000 to more than 20,000, generating thousands of skilled jobs in research, manufacturing, and related healthcare fields. This growth aligns with China’s “Healthy China 2030” agenda, which emphasizes improved access to innovative therapies, preventive care, and early disease detection.

Experts note China’s advantages in cost-effective, accelerated clinical trials and a more streamlined regulatory environment compared to the US and Europe. “China has emerged as a powerhouse for pharmaceutical innovation,” observed Shaun Rein of the China Market Research Group. Over 60 licensing deals linked Chinese firms with Western drugmakers in 2025, with momentum continuing into 2026.

Despite ongoing geopolitical considerations, analysts view China as indispensable. “It’s not just about market size—China offers unmatched R&D speed, cost efficiencies, and a vibrant biotech startup scene,” said Jeroen Groenewegen-Lau of the Mercator Institute for China Studies. As AstraZeneca’s second-largest sales market, China also ensures reliable global supply chains through its export-oriented facilities.

Dual-Track Global Strategy: NYSE Listing and Balanced Footprint

In a complementary move, AstraZeneca completed a direct listing of its ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange on February 2, 2026, under the ticker AZN. This harmonizes trading across the NYSE, London Stock Exchange, and Nasdaq Stockholm, broadening access for US investors and strengthening ties to American capital markets.

This bifurcated approach—deepening innovation roots in China while enhancing visibility in the US—offers a blueprint for biopharma firms navigating a divided global landscape, according to industry observers. While scaling back certain UK projects, including a proposed vaccine site near Liverpool and additional Cambridge R&D, AstraZeneca continues to support high-skilled roles in its home country through interconnected global operations.

China represents the world’s second-largest pharma market (around 7.5% of global sales in recent estimates), trailing the dominant US share. However, its true value lies in affordable, high-speed research and novel molecule development rather than pure sales volume.

With this ambitious China strategy, AstraZeneca aims to fuel its long-term revenue goals, deliver next-generation therapies to patients worldwide, and solidify partnerships that drive sustainable innovation in one of the most dynamic healthcare markets.

Beast Industries, led by YouTube sensation Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson, has taken a bold step into the fintech world by purchasing Step, a mobile-first platform tailored for teenagers and young adults. This strategic move, revealed on February 9, 2026, seeks to equip millions with essential money management skills and tools from an early age.

Donaldson emphasized his personal motivation in a social media update, highlighting how he missed out on early guidance in investing and budgeting during his youth. Now, leveraging his massive influence, he aims to deliver accessible resources that promote responsible habits and long-term stability for his primarily young audience.

Step stands out in the neobank space by offering no-fee accounts, credit-building features via a Visa card (functioning like a debit with safeguards), savings options, and cash advances—partnered with FDIC-insured Evolve Bank & Trust. The app has attracted over 7 million users and secured significant backing from celebrities like Stephen Curry, Will Smith, and Charli D’Amelio, plus investors such as Stripe, General Catalyst, and Coatue. It previously raised around $500 million in funding, peaking at a near-$1 billion valuation in 2021.

The acquisition follows closely on the heels of a substantial $200 million equity injection from BitMine Immersion Technologies in January 2026. BitMine, the leading corporate holder of Ethereum (with over 4.3 million ETH tokens valued in the billions, plus significant cash reserves), views the partnership as a bridge between creator-driven platforms and evolving digital finance ecosystems.

BitMine’s chair, Tom Lee, described the initial investment as aligning values between the world’s top content creator and a premier Ethereum infrastructure player, positioning both for growth where entertainment, blockchain, and everyday finance intersect.

Beast Industries CEO Jeff Housenbold highlighted the synergy: the deal combines Step’s advanced tech and expertise with Beast’s unparalleled reach to deliver meaningful, user-friendly innovations that enhance financial outcomes. Step’s founder and CEO, CJ MacDonald, echoed this, noting shared commitments to empowerment and positive impact.

Financial details of the Step purchase remain confidential, but analysts see it as a cost-effective way to gain a ready user base and regulated infrastructure—bypassing lengthy partnerships for faster rollout of services.

This development builds on earlier signals, including Donaldson’s October 2025 trademark filing for “MrBeast Financial” with the USPTO, covering mobile banking, investment tools, and potentially crypto-related offerings under Beast Holdings LLC. Combined with Beast Industries’ existing ventures—like Feastables snacks, philanthropy via Beast Philanthropy, and its 466+ million YouTube subscribers—this positions the company as a multifaceted entertainment and lifestyle brand venturing deeper into practical financial solutions.

Public reactions vary: supporters praise the potential to boost widespread financial awareness and security, while skeptics raise concerns about introducing complex tools to impressionable users without sufficient risk education.

As Beast Industries integrates Step, the focus remains on blending engaging content with real-world utility to foster better financial futures for Gen Z and beyond. This acquisition underscores a growing trend of creators expanding into fintech, leveraging trust and audience loyalty to disrupt traditional banking.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) sharp recovery stalled between $70,000 and $71,000 as selling pressure prevented a sustained recovery. Analysts stated that the move was a classic bear-market relief rally rather than the beginning of a sustained rally. 

The flagship cryptocurrency dropped to a low of $68,446 on Monday before rebounding to reclaim $70,000 and moving to $71,003. However, it lost momentum after reaching this level and dropped below $70,000 again. The flagship cryptocurrency is marginally down during the ongoing session, trading around $68,970. 

Some analysts have warned that weak investor sentiment, thin liquidity, and overhead supply could prevent a sustained uptrend and potentially trigger a retest of the $60,000 level. 

Hype Around Crypto Is Fading: Chris Waller 

Federal Reserve Governor Chris Waller believes the hype around crypto that began with President Trump’s election victory is fading as it becomes increasingly entangled with traditional finance. Waller stated during a conference on Monday, 

I think some of the euphoria that came into the crypto world with the current administration is fading. A lot of it has been brought into mainstream finance. Then, you know, things have to happen there, so I think there was a lot of sell-off just because firms that got into it from mainstream finance had to adjust their risk positions.

Waller also stated that the failure to pass the crypto market structure bill had also deterred investors, as uncertainty around crypto regulation persisted. The Federal Reserve Governor also brushed aside Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market’s steep decline, stating it was “part of the game” with crypto. 

You get in, you make some money, you might lose some money — that’s the nature of the beast. Look, prices go up, prices go down — it’s just the nature of the business. If you don’t like it, don’t get in it, that’s my advice to everybody.

Bitcoin ETFs Extend Rebound 

Spot Bitcoin ETFs continued their recovery, registering a second day of inflows. The ETFs recorded $371 million in inflows on Friday, and followed it up with another $144.9 million in inflows on Monday. However, the inflows are yet to offset last week’s outflows and the over $1.9 billion in redemptions year-to-date. However, returning inflows could indicate a potential trend reversal. CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, stated in an update on Monday, 

Outflows slowed sharply to $187 million despite heavy price pressure, with the deceleration in flows historically signaling a potential inflection point.

Butterfill also stated that early Bitcoin holders were unfazed by rising institutional inflows, even as heavy ETF outflows dragged BTC towards the October 2024 price levels. Bernstein analysts described Bitcoin’s latest downturn as the “weakest bear case” scenario in the cryptocurrency’s history, highlighting the absence of industry failures associated with deep downturns. With the absence of a catalyst, some analysts have linked the volatility and downturn to the growing institutional presence in Bitcoin. The analysts also highlighted investor concerns about ETFs and broader financialization diluting Bitcoin’s scarcity narrative. 

Trump Administration Could Buy Bitcoin For Strategic Reserve 

Market commentator Jim Cramer has claimed that the Trump administration plans to buy Bitcoin for the US Strategic Reserve. According to Cramer, the administration is targeting a $60,000 entry price. 

I heard that at $60,000, the President is gonna fill the Bitcoin Reserve.

According to data from Arkham, the US government holds 328,372 BTC, valued at around $23 billion. However, March 2025’s executive order states that Bitcoin for the reserve will come from criminal and civil forfeitures, and that deposits cannot be sold. 

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis 

Bitcoin (BTC) slumped below the $70,000 mark again as its recovery stalled between $70,000 and $71,000. Analysts stated that the rebound was part of a classic bear market relief rally and not the beginning of another uptrend. Currently, any uptrend is hitting a wave of supply around the $70,000 mark as investors look to exit their positions. FxPro chief market analyst Alex Kuptsikevich stated, 

There is still a huge supply in the markets from those who want to exit the first cryptocurrency on the rebound. In such conditions, it is worth being prepared for a new test of the 200-week moving average soon. We remain very sceptical about the near future, as the recovery momentum lost steam over the weekend, encountering a sell-off near the $2.4T level. Perhaps we have only seen a bounce on the way down, which is not yet complete.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index slumped to its lowest level since 2022, dropping to 6 before recovering to 14 late on Monday. The index currently sits at 10, still firmly in “extreme fear” territory. According to Kuptsikevich, the index is too low for investors to make confident purchases. Thin liquidity conditions are adding to investor concerns. Low liquidity means even modest selling pressure can have a substantial impact on market conditions, triggering additional liquidations and creating more selling pressure. 

Kaiko described current market conditions as a “broader risk-off unwind,” adding that aggregate trading volumes across exchanges have declined 30% since October and November. Monthly spot volumes have also dropped from around $1 trillion to $700 billion. 

Bitcoin (BTC) ended the previous weekend in the red, dropping over 2% to $76,895. The flagship cryptocurrency began the previous week in positive territory despite selling pressure, rising over 2% to $78,666. However, selling pressure returned on Tuesday as the price fell nearly 4% to a low of $82,859 before settling at $75,661. Sellers retained control on Wednesday as BTC fell 3.52% to $72,998. Selling pressure intensified on Thursday as BTC plunged nearly 14% to $62,791.

Source: TradingView

BTC plunged to a low of $60,000 on Friday as bearish sentiment persisted. However, it rebounded from this level to reclaim $70,000 and move to $70,259. Price action was mixed over the weekend as BTC fell 1.825 on Saturday before rising 1.49% on Sunday to settle at $70,279. The price reached an intraday high of $71,380 on Monday before eventually settling at $70,101. BTC is down over 2% during the ongoing session, trading around $68,693.

Implementing High-Security Wallet Infrastructure to Comprehensively Strengthen Virtual Asset Security

Chainss, one of Taiwan’s leading digital asset platforms, has announced a strategic partnership with Liminal Custody to upgrade its custody infrastructure to a regulatory compliant wallet infrastructure. This partnership supports Chainss’s commitment to security, compliance, and transparent digital asset management as Taiwan continues to enhance its regulatory framework.

Partnering with Liminal helps us strengthen our commitment to security, compliance, and responsible service for our users in Taiwan. As regulations evolve, it is important for us to work with partners who understand the local framework and support our long term vision. This upgrade gives our users greater confidence and a stronger foundation for the future.

, said  Sarah Kao, COO, Chainss.

Taiwan has taken a structured and transparent approach to digital asset oversight. With the Financial Supervisory Commission leading the way, custody providers must now meet strict compliance, licensing, and asset protection requirements.

For Chainss, aligning with Taiwan’s evolving regulatory standards for licensed digital-asset custody became a strategic priority. As the regulatory landscape matured, the platform recognised the need to enhance its custody architecture, reducing compliance risks while ensuring greater operational clarity and trust for its users in Taiwan.

We are pleased to support Chainss as they move towards a fully compliant and secure custody model in Taiwan. Our wallet infrastructure platform is designed for regulated markets where clarity, safety, and shared control are essential. Chainss is taking the right step for its users and for the wider ecosystem in Taiwan,

commented Lesley Kuo, Liminal Custody Taiwan General Manager.

Through this partnership, Chainss is building a custody model that matches Taiwan’s regulatory expectations. Liminal’s wallet infrastructure platform offers strong cryptographic control, clear compliance readiness, and institutional grade protection designed for regulated markets.

This transition marks a significant step in Chainss’s long term plan to build a secure and compliant digital asset service in Taiwan.

Regulatory Assurance

Assets are now secured through a custodian aligned with Taiwan’s compliance and licensing requirements.

Shared Control Using Wallet infrastructure Security

Liminal’s architecture ensures no single party has unilateral access to user funds. This key management approach meets both global security practices and Taiwan’s custody expectations. 

Strengthened Wallet infrastructure Security

Users benefit from upgraded protection along with the comfort of operating on a compliant and transparent infrastructure.

The next phase of digital assets won’t be defined by speed or speculation; it will be defined by trust. Regulation is accelerating that shift, and custody infrastructure is where it becomes real. Our work with Chainss is part of a broader effort to help build digital asset markets that are resilient, compliant, and ready for institutional adoption.

concluded Mahin Gupta, Founder and CEO, Liminal Custody. 

About Liminal Custody

Liminal Custody is a digital asset management infrastructure platform, certified with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 & 27701 standards, offering secure wallet infrastructure and custody-technology solutions for institutions across the digital asset spectrum.

Quant Technology Group today announced the general availability of QuantSentry, a next-generation risk management platform purpose-built for proprietary trading firms of all sizes, from early-stage operators to global market leaders. QuantSentry replaces manual oversight and fragmented legacy tooling with an automated, AI-native risk engine designed to detect coordinated trading abuse, enforce risk rules in real time, and protect firm capital as operations grow.

Modern prop firms operate in a risk environment that legacy systems were never built to handle. As firms grow from hundreds to thousands of active accounts, enforcement becomes inconsistent, latency increases, and investigations turn into manual firefighting, which creates payout leakage and margin erosion. QuantSentry closes this gap with an adaptive, cloud-native architecture that preserves millisecond-level precision as account load scales, helping firms protect margins and reduce operational drag.

Legacy risk tooling was never designed for the scale and complexity of modern prop firm operations,

said Akash Thakrar, Head of Corporate Development at Quant Technology Group. QuantSentry applies network-based analysis to enforce risk rules consistently as firms grow.

QuantSentry delivers immediate operational and financial impact by improving payout accuracy, identifying abusive trading behavior before fraudulent payouts are released, and reducing investigation time through intelligent alerting. By automating detection and audit, firms can operate leaner risk teams without compromising control, compliance, or growth.

QuantSentry is available immediately across four tiers. Starter, Growth, Scale, and Enterprise – supporting firms at every stage of their lifecycle. The platform integrates seamlessly with major trading platforms and bridges, enabling rapid deployment without operational disruption. 

Core Capabilities

Adaptive Risk Infrastructure – An AI-native, cloud-based platform that automatically adjusts as firms grow, delivering consistent, low-latency risk enforcement from early-stage operations to thousands of active accounts.

AI-Driven Abuse Detection – Advanced network analysis and machine learning models that identify coordinated trading abuse, including copy trading, hedging schemes, and multi-accounting, before payouts occur.

Intelligent Investigations & Audit Readiness – Risk-based alert prioritization with full trade context and a complete audit trail, enabling faster investigations, defensible decisions, and regulator-ready reporting. PDF Evidence Kits can be generated to assist firms in enforcing Terms of Service.

NEW YORK, United States, February 10th, 2026, FinanceWire

Freedom Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: FRHC), a diversified financial services and technology group, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, reflecting growth in assets and shareholders’ equity, strong operating cash flow generation, and continued expansion of its customer base across core business segments.

The holding company’s total assets at the end of the third quarter amounted to $12.38 billion, which is 25% higher than at the end of the previous fiscal year – $9.91 billion. The growth in assets was driven by the expansion of the company’s own investment portfolio and an increase in client balances in brokerage accounts.

Key Financial Highlights

For the nine months ending 31 December 2025, operating cash flow reached $1.73 billion

Total shareholders’ equity rose to $1.40 billion, up from $1.21 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year.

Net income for the 3Q FY2026 was $76.2 million.

Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $1.25 for the quarter and $2.38 for the nine-month period.

Cash flow and liquidity

During the nine-month period, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.73 billion. This was driven primarily by growth in customer funds held in brokerage accounts, as well as a reduction in margin-related balances.

As of 31 December 2025, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash stood at $3.51 billion, compared to $1.64 billion at the start of the financial year.

Revenue and operating performance

Total revenue for the three months ending 31 December 2025 amounted to $628.6 million, driven by interest income, brokerage and commission revenues, and insurance premiums. Revenue for the nine-month period totaled $1.69 billion. This diversified revenue mix reflects continued customer activity across the brokerage, banking, and insurance segments, providing stability in the face of fluctuating market conditions.

Customer Growth and Business Development

Freedom Holding Corp. continued to scale its platform during the reporting period. The number of banking customers increased from 2.5 million to 4.5 million over nine months, while the brokerage customer base grew by more than 20%. Growth was supported by expanded digital offerings and continued development of the company’s financial and non-financial ecosystem.

The company demonstrated the effectiveness of its diversified business model across financial, insurance, and technology segments.

We continue to develop our digital ecosystem by integrating traditional brokerage and banking with everyday consumer services. This ecosystem supports a wide range of use cases, from daily purchases such as groceries and tickets to transactions involving complex investment instruments. The strategy we adopted several years ago – to build a trusted operating environment rather than a simple marketplace – is delivering results. More than 7 million customers now use our platform. Our SuperApp is the most downloaded application in Kazakhstan, with plans for expansion into additional markets. Global technology leaders, including NVIDIA, Amazon, and Microsoft, are participating in our projects,

said Timur Turlov, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Freedom Holding Corp.

xMoney ($XMN) is expanding its partnership with Domino’s, bringing its payment infrastructure to Domino’s Greece following a successful rollout in Cyprus.

The collaboration focuses on acquiring services, enabling Domino’s Greece to accept card payments and digital wallets, including Apple Pay and Google Pay, across both web and mobile ordering platforms.

At the core of the integration is xMoney’s embeddable checkout solution, designed to deliver a seamless payment experience without redirection. Customers complete their orders faster, while all sensitive payment data is securely handled by xMoney’s compliant infrastructure.

The expansion was announced in person at a community event hosted at SuiHub Athens – a community space established to support builders and Sui ecosystem partners – bringing together the xMoney and Sui teams, Domino’s representatives, and building on xMoney’s previously announced work with Sui to expand real-world payment access across Europe.

Domino’s operates in a high-volume, real-time environment where speed and reliability are critical,

said Manos Tsouloufris, CTO of Daufood. xMoney’s checkout solution supports multiple payment methods in a single, seamless flow, helping us serve customers faster at scale.

While the current implementation focuses on fiat payments, the two teams are also exploring future possibilities around digital asset payments, where network speed, user experience, and confirmation times make sense for real-world commerce.

The launch in Greece represents the next step in a broader European expansion, reinforcing xMoney’s role as a trusted payments partner for brands that operate at scale and its presence within the Sui ecosystem reflects a growing focus on practical, consumer-facing payment experiences built for everyday use.

When people order food, they don’t think about payments, and that’s exactly the point,

said Gregorious Siourounis, Co-Founder and CEO of xMoney. Our role is to make checkout fast, reliable, and invisible, so brands like Domino’s can focus on their customers. Bringing this experience to Greece is a natural next step.

As xMoney expands across markets and merchant use cases, XMN supports the broader ecosystem by aligning long-term participation and infrastructure growth across the network. Designed to sit alongside xMoney’s licensed payment rails, XMN helps structure how value, incentives, and future on-chain capabilities evolve, without impacting the simplicity of everyday checkout experiences.

Faster checkout. Less friction.

Payments that deliver.

About Domino’s

Founded in 1960, Domino’s Pizza is the largest pizza company in the world, with a significant business in both delivery and carryout pizza. It operates a network of company-owned and independent franchise stores in the United States and more than 90 international markets.

Institutional participation in crypto markets has grown steadily over the past several years. From asset managers launching Bitcoin exchange-traded products to corporations adding digital assets to their balance sheets, the presence of professional capital is reshaping how cryptocurrency markets operate.

This shift is not only influencing liquidity and regulation discussions. It is also changing how investors think about portfolio income within digital asset markets. As institutions approach crypto with long-term allocation strategies, income visibility and risk management are becoming more central to portfolio construction.

The result is a gradual evolution in how crypto investing is understood.

Institutional Adoption Is Reshaping Crypto Portfolio Strategy

Institutional investors typically approach markets differently from retail participants. Portfolio construction often focuses on allocation discipline, diversification, and long-term capital planning rather than short-term trading opportunities.

As institutions enter crypto markets, these principles are beginning to influence digital asset investing. Instead of concentrating exposure solely on high-growth tokens, portfolios are increasingly being structured to balance risk across multiple strategies.

This shift is encouraging the development of investment approaches that combine growth exposure with participation models designed to generate income. In traditional finance, this balance is often achieved through a mix of equities and income-producing assets. Crypto markets are beginning to explore similar allocation frameworks.

Crypto Income Strategies Are Expanding Beyond Staking

For much of crypto’s history, income generation has been closely tied to staking rewards and decentralised finance participation. These mechanisms allow investors to earn returns while supporting blockchain networks or providing liquidity.

However, institutional investors often require clearer expectations around returns and investment duration. Variable reward systems, while effective in decentralised ecosystems, can make long-term income forecasting difficult.

This dynamic is encouraging the development of alternative income approaches within digital asset markets. Some strategies now focus on predefined participation terms and scheduled distributions, introducing additional structure into how income is generated.

These developments reflect a broader maturation of crypto markets, where income strategies are becoming more diverse.

Investors exploring structured digital asset income models can learn more about how these participation frameworks are evolving in crypto markets.

Digital Asset Treasuries and Capital Allocation

Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) are emerging as one example of how institutional thinking is influencing crypto markets. Instead of functioning purely as crypto holding vehicles, treasury models are beginning to incorporate diversification and capital allocation strategies.

This approach mirrors traditional treasury management, where organisations balance growth exposure with income-generating instruments and liquidity planning.

Blockchain infrastructure is helping support this transition. Smart contracts can automate payment execution, maintain transparent ownership records, and manage redemption processes, allowing treasury participation models to operate with predefined rules.

Some platforms, including Varntix, are exploring diversified digital asset treasury models designed to support fixed-term income instruments executed on-chain. Their development reflects the growing intersection between institutional portfolio thinking and blockchain-based financial infrastructure.

Income Visibility Is Becoming More Important in Crypto Markets

As institutional participation increases, income visibility is becoming a more important consideration in digital asset portfolio design. Rather than relying entirely on price appreciation or variable reward systems, investors are beginning to explore participation models that provide clearer expectations around returns.

This does not replace the growth-focused narrative that continues to drive crypto adoption. Instead, it expands the range of strategies available to investors as digital assets become more integrated into global financial markets.

Portfolio construction in crypto is becoming more layered. Growth exposure, decentralised finance participation, and income-focused strategies are increasingly being combined to manage risk across market cycles.

Institutional adoption is accelerating this transition. As larger pools of capital enter the market, the emphasis is gradually shifting from speculation alone to structured allocation.

The evolution of income strategies in crypto reflects a broader transformation in how digital assets are being incorporated into modern investment portfolios.

The rapid ascent of artificial intelligence has sparked intense discussions across policy circles, financial markets, and research communities about its potential to reshape growth, efficiency, and jobs. Projections vary widely: some foresee limited aggregate benefits from task automation, while others anticipate sustained expansion through enhanced capabilities and innovation acceleration.

Empirical evaluation of generative AI’s lasting productivity effects is still emerging, but valuable lessons emerge from prior tech shifts. The present surge stands out due to unprecedented capital outlays, with AI-linked spending positioned as a major force behind 2025’s robust US expansion.

Recent examinations, including detailed accounting reviews, quantify AI’s immediate role in national output. This approach focuses on direct mechanical contributions—via capital formation and service generation—while setting aside broader ripple effects that could drive systemic evolution.

Such analysis holds critical value: it clarifies AI’s influence on current aggregates, aids in calibrating monetary and fiscal strategies, supports stability assessments, and bridges headline strength with varied industry and distributional patterns.

The Central Role of Data Centers in AI’s Economic Structure

Evaluating AI macroeconomically requires mapping its interconnected production network, involving semiconductor manufacturers, large-scale cloud operators, and model developers.

Chip innovation remains US-dominated, but manufacturing, assembly, and packaging occur predominantly overseas in a concentrated industry. Major US cloud platforms control vast data center networks, leasing processing power. AI developers then transform this capacity into marketable tools via APIs or subscriptions.

Data centers form the pivotal hub, rendering AI a heavily physical, asset-intensive domain. This architecture determines its national accounts reflection: initial boosts stem from facility and hardware outlays (with GDP gains limited to local content), followed by persistent revenue streams classified as final demand or intermediate use.

Balancing Headline Spending with Net Domestic Gains

AI hardware commitments exploded in 2025, evoking comparisons to early computing eras, with equipment acquisition surging dramatically and fueling claims of it anchoring overall expansion.

Yet official statistics reveal nuance. Skyrocketing tech imports—particularly servers from Taiwan, Mexico, Vietnam, and others—offset much of the outlay, as foreign production captures substantial value. Consequently, while tech capital formation supports demand, a large fraction escapes domestic measurement.

Still, net contributions remain meaningful, augmenting rather than overshadowing core engines like personal spending. Notably, tech shipments avoided the pre-tariff stockpiling seen in other categories, highlighting AI’s distinct drivers.

Recent data indicate AI-related categories (including structures, equipment, and software) added around 0.9–1.3 percentage points to real GDP growth in early-to-mid 2025 quarters, though adjustments for imports reduce this to 0.4–0.5 points in some estimates—representing 20–40% of total expansion depending on the period and methodology.

Beyond Capital Outlays: Service Flows and Sectoral Value Addition

Operational data centers yield continuous computational and model-based outputs, consumed directly or embedded in broader processes. This manifests in accelerated value creation within IT services, hosting, and systems integration—categories exhibiting sharp upticks that elevate income-side measures above expenditure alone.

Exports of digital services have climbed, while leading cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) sustain double-digit-plus quarterly revenue increases, with AI workloads increasingly pivotal in high-performance setups.

Rapid payback dynamics amplify this: contemporary GPU racks incur multimillion-dollar build costs plus ongoing expenses, yet command premium rentals yielding full recovery in under 12 months at strong occupancy. This accelerates service-based GDP contributions, contrasting with longer-cycle traditional projects.

Key Challenges and Uncertainties

Hardware obsolescence and replacement demands raise questions about depreciation accuracy and sustained profitability amid relentless upgrades. High gross figures may mask thinner margins over time in a reinvestment-heavy field, though quick returns and hardware repurposing temper risks.

Demand-side volatility poses equal concerns. Adoption has outpaced historical precedents, complicating forecasts. Excess buildout risks idle capacity and pricing pressure; conversely, shortfalls could elevate costs, erode quality, and cede ground to international rivals.

Policy and Data Insights for the Road Ahead

Policymakers should note three priorities:

AI’s macroeconomic weight is established but demands precise accounting—separating gross flows from net domestic benefits and import effects.

Data centers merit focused monitoring as bridges between investment, output, and international trade.

Enhanced granularity in statistics would better isolate AI activities from general tech, illuminating exposures more clearly.

Ultimately, transformative payoffs will likely arise from efficiency improvements, workflow redesign, and innovation spillovers rather than upfront spending. Grasping today’s measurable imprint equips analysts to better anticipate and contextualize tomorrow’s shifts—anchoring discussions in evidence rather than speculation.

Bitcoin (BTC) started the new week in positive territory after consolidation around the $70,000 mark over the weekend. The flagship cryptocurrency spiked to an intraday high of $71,878 early on Monday but failed to push higher, instead slipping below the $70,000 mark. BTC is down nearly 1%, trading around $69,950. 

Meanwhile, hedge fund veteran Gary Bode believes that Bitcoin’s sharp decline isn’t a crisis. According to Bode, the sell-off reflects the asset’s built-in volatility and the market’s misreading of Fed policy, not structural weakness. 

CoinShares Plays Down Bitcoin Quantum Threat 

Digital asset manager CoinShares has downplayed concerns about quantum computers and their potential impact on the Bitcoin ecosystem. The asset manager believes only a fraction of the Bitcoin held in crypto wallets is worth attacking. CoinShares’ Bitcoin research lead, Christopher Bendiksen, stated that only 10,230 BTC are stored in wallet addresses with publicly visible cryptographic keys that could be vulnerable to a quantum attack. Around 7,000 Bitcoins are held in wallets with 100 to 1,000 BTC, while another 3,250 BTC are held in wallets with 1,000 to 10,000 BTC. The remaining Bitcoins are held in wallets with 100 BTC or less, which Bendiksen believes could take years to unlock.

According to Bendiksen, the theoretical risks arise from quantum algorithms like Shor’s, which could decrypt Bitcoin’s elliptic-curve signatures, and Grover’s, which could compromise Bitcoin’s Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit (SHA-256). The Bitcoin research lead believes neither quantum algorithm could change Bitcoin’s supply cap or bypass the network’s Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism. 

Bitcoin’s Decline Isn’t A Crisis: Gary Bode 

Hedge fund veteran Gary Bode has said that Bitcoin’s steep drop from its all-time high is consistent with its history of volatility and sharp pullbacks, and does not indicate an ongoing systemic crisis. Bode noted in a post on X that while the latest pullback is “jarring,” Bitcoin’s history has witnessed several 80% to 90% pullbacks. 

While the recent price drop is unpleasant and jarring, it is not unusual in bitcoin’s history. “80% – 90% drawdowns are common. Those who have been willing to stomach the always-temporary volatility have been well-rewarded with incredible long-term returns.

Bode attributed the downturn and volatility to the market’s reaction to Kevin Warsh’s nomination as the next Federal Reserve Chair. Investors are worried the Fed may adopt a hawkish stance under Warsh and raise interest rates. Higher interest rates could make assets like Bitcoin, Gold, and Silver less attractive to investors. Additionally, margin calls on leveraged positions amplified the downturn. 

ARK Invest Continues Reducing Coinbase Exposure 

ARK Invest has unloaded $22 million worth of Coinbase shares across multiple crypto ETFs as it continues reducing exposure to the cryptocurrency exchange. According to trade disclosures, the company has sold 92,737 Coinbase Global shares from the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), 32,790 shares from the Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), and 8,945 shares from the Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF). The combined value of the shares sold is around $22.1 million. 

Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest has gradually reduced its exposure to Coinbase, selling 119,236 COIN worth about $17.4 million on Thursday. The sale was ARK Invest’s first Coinbase sale in 2026, and the first since August 2025. 

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis 

Bitcoin (BTC) traded above the $70,000 mark over the weekend and started the week in positive territory, reaching an intraday high of $71,380. However, it failed to push higher as momentum faded and selling pressure returned. The flagship cryptocurrency is down nearly 3%, trading around $68,580. 

Despite the weekend recovery, traders remain skeptical, believing there is further pain ahead. One analyst uploaded a chart comparing BTC’s current price action to the 2022 bear market, adding that there was no good news for the bulls. 

I’m not going to try to dress it up any way other than how it looks.

Another analyst, Tony Severino, offered a similar outlook, stating that new lows were imminent. 

$BTC final capitulation hasn’t happened yet. A real bottom will form below the $50,000 level, where most of the ETF buyers will be underwater.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs currently have a buy-in cost of $82,000, according to data from Checkonchain. Caleb Franzen, creator of Cubic Analytics, also believes BTC’s price action was mirroring 2022. 

In May 2022, Bitcoin retested its 200-week MA cloud. Bulls said ‘that’s it, we’ve retested the long-term moving average & can continue higher now.’ Price immediately rebounded on that zone, produced a long wick, & closed above the midpoint of the weekly range. But then that rally faded… Price came back into the 200W MA cloud a few weeks later, failed to rebound, then sliced through the cloud in June 2022. What are we seeing right now? The first retest of the 200W MA cloud with a long wick.

Bitcoin (BTC) ended the previous weekend in the red, dropping over 2% to $76,895. The flagship cryptocurrency began the previous week in positive territory despite selling pressure, rising over 2% to $78,666. However, selling pressure returned on Tuesday as the price fell nearly 4% to a low of $82,859 before settling at $75,661. Sellers retained control on Wednesday as BTC fell 3.52% to $72,998. Selling pressure intensified on Thursday as BTC plunged nearly 14% to $62,791.
