New York, NY - Hola Prime is proud to unveil its solutions for Prop trading. The prop trading industry has long faced issues that erode trust and hinder traders' growth. Problems such as delayed payouts, hidden trading rules, unexpected account breaches, and unreliable price feeds have created a challenging environment, leaving many traders feeling disillusioned and unsupported. Hola Prime, however, is transforming the industry by prioritizing transparency and trader support. In a market where delayed and denied payouts have become an unfortunate norm, Hola Prime distinguishes itself with fast, reliable, and secure payment processes. Traders at Hola Prime can choose from multiple payment methods to receive their payouts within just one hour, ensuring that their earnings are accessible when needed. Furthermore, unlike several other prop firms, Hola Prime does not charge any fee on the payouts. This prompt and no-fee payment system reflects Hola Prime's commitment to fairness and reliability, addressing one of the industry's most pressing concerns. As Ashutosh Sharma, Head of Risk and Compliance, explains, "Even though we are not obliged to follow any capital market regulations, we chose to operate in a disciplinary way as it is healthy for business. Our Payout Funds Segregation policy allows us to ensure we always have funds readily available to process our trader's payouts." To this, he further added, "We have maintained a 99.9% payout completion rate within one hour since launch." Hola Prime's commitment to transparency goes beyond efficient payouts. In an unprecedented move, the firm publishes a Price Transparency Report, a comprehensive tick-by-tick data report, comparing the price ticks on their trading platforms with the market prices advertised on TradingView to ensure complete transparency. Hola Prime's CFO, Ms. Sumedha explains, "In a decentralized forex market, we are the first and only prop firm to provide this level of price transparency for our traders." One of the biggest frustrations traders face is denied payouts and the sudden closure of accounts due to hidden rules and unexpected breaches. Unlike other firms that may use these tactics to withhold payments or deny payouts, Hola Prime takes a different approach. The firm clearly outlines all trading conditions on its website, leaving no room for ambiguity.  Additionally, if a trader’s behaviour indicates that they may end up breaching certain prohibited trading rules, they receive risk alerts, enabling them to take immediate corrective action and avoid potential violations. This proactive approach underscores Hola Prime's belief that the firm's success is intrinsically linked to the success of its traders.  Besides this, Hola Prime has implemented a unique support system for traders who do not pass their initial challenges. Instead of being left without guidance, traders receive personalized lesson videos that review their performance and offer guidance for improvement. These detailed analyses empower traders to learn from their mistakes, refine their strategies, and better prepare for future opportunities. Hola Prime's commitment to transparency is further evident in its open communication practices. The firm shares detailed performance analyses with traders on their dashboard, providing insights into what worked well and what needs adjustment. This level of support helps traders closely monitor their performance and achieve success. By addressing long-standing issues in the industry and prioritizing transparency, Hola Prime is setting a new benchmark for the industry.  Hola Prime's CEO, Mr. Somesh Kapuria states, " Since the launch, Hola Prime has experienced a remarkable surge in trader onboarding, with a 140% increase in new sign-ups in the first month alone." This early momentum speaks to the trust traders are placing in Hola Prime's transparent practices and supportive ecosystem. With its innovative solutions, Hola Prime is not just being there in the prop industry - it is revitalizing it and fostering an environment where trust and mutual success are paramount.  About Hola Prime Hola Prime is a global proprietary trading firm renowned for its commitment to transparency. Serving prop traders across 175+ countries with access to over 50 trading instruments, Hola Prime provides a reliable and efficient trading environment. With a presence in key locations worldwide and a selection of multiple trading platforms, the firm is bringing a breath of freshness to the prop trading industry.

The DePIN sector is experiencing a surge, drawing attention as more people recognize its potential in reshaping the digital landscape. Recently, a viral poll, conducted by CoinList, asked users, “What category of projects do you want to see most on CoinList?” DePIN emerged as the top choice, a testament to its rising prominence. Following this, U2U Network - a DePIN-focused Layer 1, announced a collaboration with CoinList for an exclusive incentivized mainnet campaign. This means U2U Network is the first DePIN project to launch a growth campaign on CoinList in Q4 2024.  DePIN - Beyond a Passing Trend DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) stands out as one of today’s promising technologies, challenging the skepticism often directed at the blockchain industry. Unlike fleeting trends, DePIN aims to represent a foundational shift in managing infrastructure. By decentralizing essential services such as computing, energy, and telecommunications, DePIN delivers scalability, resilience, and cost-efficiency that surpass the usual capabilities of centralized systems.   This innovation could mark the next wave of technological progress - one that democratizes access and unlocks wealth-generation opportunities for communities historically excluded from economic advancement. DePIN’s impact is poised to be more than incremental, serving as a catalyst for widespread change.   The DePIN sector is gaining attention but also substantial investment as well, with a market capitalization exceeding $33.6 billion (Coingecko). Esteemed venture capitalists have begun investing in innovative DePIN projects, underscoring the sector’s vast potential. According to a 2023 report by Messari, the market potential for DePIN is valued at $2.2 trillion, with projections to surge to $3.5 trillion by 2028. To date, leading DePIN projects have collectively secured over $1 billion in funding, illustrating the growing confidence of investors in this space. Acknowledging the potential thrive of DePIN with the successful listing from peaq, U2U Network, a leading DePIN Layer1 in Asia, has just announced its new collaboration with CoinList, a top token launch platform in crypto with many successful DePIN projects such as Filecoin, NATIX, Koii, peaq, etc., for a new pre-listing campaign.   CoinList x U2U Network: U2U Incentivized Mainnet Saga Campaign U2U Network, backed by Kucoin Ventures, Chain Capital, IDG Blockchain, JDI, Cointelegraph, Crypto Assets Japan, and V3V Ventures, is a modular Layer 1 network that uses advanced directed acyclic graph (DAG) technology and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility to provide fast transactions and quick finality.   U2U Network aims to address the fragmented nature of the DePIN market, where full integration across applications is rare. Its vision is to create a complete blockchain solution for DePIN. The network’s unique subnet technology allows for the creation of customizable, independent sub-networks that offer scalability and flexibility tailored for DePIN applications. This design provides high performance, strong security, and adaptability, giving developers the tools to build and launch DePINs efficiently while enabling users to connect, contribute, and potentially earn from various DePIN projects.   CoinList’s collaboration with U2U Network reflects their shared commitment to advancing the DePIN sector. This collaboration is highlighted by the U2U Incentivized Mainnet Saga Campaign, marking a key step in driving the growth and adoption of DePIN technology. This campaign could serve as gateway to earning $U2U tokens before they hit the market. Participants can gain access to $U2U tokens through Owlto Finance by bridging $USDT to receive $pUSDT, which can then be staked in the U2U Incentivized Staking Pool. The program offers a reward pool of 10,000,000 $U2U tokens for eligible participants. Timeline: 90 days, from 12th Nov 2024 to 10th Feb 2025   For more information, users can read here: https://mainnetsaga.u2u.xyz/    Beyond its collaboration with CoinList, U2U Network is set to embark on an ambitious campaign with Bitget, a world-leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 innovator. This collaboration marks another step in U2U Network’s mission to expand its reach and influence within the DePIN ecosystem. Users can stay connected with U2U Network’s social channels for upcoming details about this exciting venture.

Sponsored article   What makes Shiba Inu stand out in the crowded world of cryptocurrencies? Why has it managed to maintain momentum despite the typical market ups and downs? As this token continues to captivate both new and seasoned investors, its developments are consistently a topic of interest. Let’s explore some key facts that keep this token in the spotlight. Understanding the Basics of the Token Initially created as a playful response to Dogecoin, the token soon gained significant traction, becoming a regular feature in Shiba Inu news. Launched in 2020 by the anonymous founder Ryoshi, it quickly attracted a following thanks to its decentralised nature and enthusiastic community. What began as a meme has developed into something much more substantial.   Since then, the project’s creators have focused on expanding its ecosystem, including launching the ShibaSwap decentralised exchange. This commitment to creating functional use cases has helped the token gain credibility. It’s now seen as a serious player in the crypto space rather than just another meme coin. Shiba Inu’s Position in the Market Initially dismissed as just another meme coin, it has now solidified its position among the top digital currencies by market capitalisation. The token’s low price has made it particularly attractive to retail investors, who enjoy the ability to acquire large quantities with minimal investment. This sense of ownership and the community-driven nature of the project have helped keep it relevant.    Many investors closely track its price movements, hoping to catch the next big rally. Furthermore, the growing ecosystem and continuous development efforts have sparked interest from new investors, further boosting its visibility. As Shiba Inu continues to innovate, its potential for long-term growth keeps the community engaged and optimistic. The ShibaSwap Ecosystem: More Than Just a Token One of the biggest achievements has been the development of the ShibaSwap platform. This decentralised exchange allows users to trade, stake, and earn rewards, adding significant utility beyond simply holding the token. Key features of ShibaSwap include: Swapping tokens in a decentralised environment Staking SHIB, LEASH, and BONE for rewards Providing liquidity for trading pairs Yield farming for passive income Participating in governance through BONE The growth of this ecosystem has helped strengthen the token’s place in the decentralised finance (DeFi) world, ensuring continued interest and engagement from its supporters. The Power of the Shiba Inu Community Much of the project’s success can be attributed to its passionate and active community, known as the “Shib Army.” This group plays a vital role in spreading awareness and driving adoption. The community has become a key factor in the token’s continued rise, organising charity efforts and pushing for wider recognition. These factors have turned this token into more than just a meme—it’s now seen as a movement. This active involvement ensures that the project stays relevant and that innovation remains at the forefront of its mission.   The ongoing buzz around Shiba Inu news reflects its evolution from a simple meme to a robust ecosystem. As the project expands and continues to attract attention from a broad base of supporters, it remains a point of interest for both investors and enthusiasts. With more developments on the way, this token is likely to stay in the spotlight for the foreseeable future, keeping the crypto world buzzing.

New York City, New York, November 11th, 2024, Chainwire   Polymer Labs has officially launched Polymer Hub, a real-time interoperability protocol for connecting all Ethereum rollups. By streaming messages, states, and logs over IBC primitives (equivalent to Web2’s TCP/IP), Polymer Hub verifies and stores the headers of all connected rollups, allowing applications to prove any arbitrary state across rollups at vastly reduced overhead.  Rollup/L2 ecosystems have historically connected only within their own walled gardens; with Polymer, however, rollups can now communicate across ecosystems and coordinate as fast as they can produce blocks. The protocol offers significant improvements in cross-chain communication latency, bandwidth, and cost for all on-chain primitives compared to existing solutions.  Polymer aims to make cross-chain interoperability as fast, efficient, and affordable as blockspace itself, enabling Ethereum applications to scale to the next million users. Increase Bandwidth Reduce Latency Real-time, high-throughput rollups are right around the corner, but existing interoperability protocols (point-to-point and hub-and-spoke models) were not designed to support dense network traffic across hundreds of rollups. According to the team, existing solutions are too slow and expensive for the next generation of applications on Ethereum. As we enter this new era, interoperability solutions must complement their speed and efficiency. Real-time apps require real-time interoperability. Polymer aims to build the fastest and most efficient interoperability protocol for next-generation rollups like MegaETH. The Hub passes messages in real-time via sequencer pre-confirmations, ensuring cross-chain communication latency can keep up with millisecond block times of these rollups. Polymer also leverages EigenDA to scale cross-rollup bandwidth to facilitate data-intensive use cases on-chain. "Real-timeness, the ability to react to inputs with ultra-low latency at massive scale, will enable truly ground-breaking decentralized applications. Readying the infra stack for this revolution will be a joint effort, in which real-time interoperability from Polymer will be crucial." - Lei Yang (Cofounder & CTO MegaETH) Various technologies like shared sequencers and ecosystem-native interoperability intra-nets have fragmented Ethereum into rollup clusters; these clusters, however, can leverage Polymer Hub’s one-to-all architecture to become interoperable with each other within minutes, rather than months. Polymer Hub is also the first interoperability solution to offer re-org protection. This helps enable token bridges and solver networks to safely settle cross-chain transactions in milliseconds and automatically revert them if they deviate from Ethereum’s L1 history. Looking Ahead The next generation of on-chain applications will closely follow the architecture of cloud apps: rollups are the new microservices, AVSs are the new infrastructure services. To enable horizontal scaling on-chain, cross-chain infrastructure must be low-latency, high-bandwidth, and affordably scalable. The Polymer team seeks to improve interoperability performance in order to enable competitive, novel categories of applications, such as high throughput e-commerce and ride-sharing, to be built on-chain.  "Building interoperable applications that don’t trade off cost or latency is a requirement to make crypto usable again. At scale, this connective layer needs to be as robust and secure as the Ethereum base layer itself, and Polymer has been uncompromising in achieving this vision." - Vikram Arun (Cofounder & CEO Superform Labs) Starting with the OP stack, Polymer plans to bring real-time interoperability to all rollup ecosystems on Ethereum—enabling swift and cost-effective scaling for applications in the near future.  Developers interested in trying Polymer Hub's mainnet can find more information on Polymer Lab's website, and by following Polymer on X (@Polymer_Labs). About Polymer Labs provides real-time, high-throughput interoperability for Ethereum rollups. Polymer lays foundational network infrastructure enabling the next generation of internet-scale apps like Uber to be built on-chain.

In his new role, Shunyet’s focus is clear: “I’m focused on positioning Bybit as the top choice for institutional clients by enhancing our custody solutions, expanding loan products, and strengthening liquidity across the platform.” He envisions building a robust environment that not only attracts institutional clients but also elevates their experience through refined trading conditions and innovative tools. By refining custody options and liquidity enhancements, Bybit aims to further solidify its foundation in a rapidly growing sector. A Vision for Bybit’s Derivatives and Institutional Future Shunyet’s career trajectory highlights a commitment to adapting the best practices from traditional finance to the crypto industry. He sees significant potential in options trading for the crypto sector, especially in the APAC region, where demand is rapidly increasing. “While options are standard in traditional markets, they remain underutilized in crypto. My goal is to build a world-class options trading platform that offers the same level of sophistication and reliability that institutional investors expect.” “Bybit has a vision of creating a secure, innovative environment for traders, and I’m eager to contribute to the growth of our platform, enhancing institutional offerings while expanding sophisticated retail solutions,” Shunyet added.

Zug, Switzerland, October 31st, 2024, Chainwire   Chorus One, a leading provider of staking infrastructure for over 60 networks, today announced the launch of TON Pool, a new staking solution designed to simplify and optimize Toncoin staking for institutions and investors. With a focus on addressing the limitations of current staking models on the TON blockchain, TON Pool offers a flexible, cost-effective, and scalable staking solution that meets the needs of custodians, exchanges, wallets, and institutional investors. A solution to Toncoin’s current staking limitations The TON blockchain is gaining traction as a powerful platform for decentralized applications, but existing Toncoin staking mechanisms—such as the Nominator Pool and Single Nominator contracts—present significant limitations for institutional players. According to the team, high minimum staking requirements, limited delegator capacity, and the operational complexity of managing multiple pools are key challenges that prevent large institutions from efficiently staking Toncoin at scale. Currently, they add, the Single Nominator contract requires a minimum of 300,000 TON, limiting accessibility for many institutions. Moreover, both staking models restrict the number of delegators and require manual management, resulting in higher transaction fees and reduced yields due to complex pool monitoring. Recognizing these limitations, Chorus One developed TON Pool, a solution specifically tailored for large-scale staking operations that eliminates inefficiencies and provides a more seamless staking experience. Key benefits of TON Pool Optimized potential yields: By consolidating stakes and reducing transaction fees, TON Pool can maximize potential yields for institutions and their clients. Unlimited delegators: Unlike traditional staking models that limit delegator capacity, TON Pool allows institutions to stake on behalf of an unlimited number of clients. Low minimum stake: With a minimum of just 10 TON (vs. 300,000 TON in other models), TON Pool makes staking accessible to a broader range of users. Effortless integration: Institutions can easily integrate TON Pool into their platforms, simplifying staking management and improving user experience. A simpler staking flow with TON Pool Compared to traditional staking models, TON Pool offers a much more streamlined staking process. Instead of requiring operators to create and manage multiple pools, TON Pool consolidates all staking into a single address. Customers delegate once, pay one transaction fee, and the platform handles all the technical complexities of distributing and managing the stake. “TON Pool is our response to the challenges institutions face when staking on the TON blockchain,” said Brian Fabian Crain, CEO of Chorus One. “We built this solution to remove unnecessary steps, lower costs, and provide a scalable option for institutions that require a higher degree of flexibility. TON Pool makes staking more accessible, which we believe is essential to driving the TON ecosystem forward.”

Sponsored Article     Have you ever wondered why the prices of cryptocurrencies fluctuate so often? Understanding what drives these cost movements is crucial whether you're a seasoned trader or just getting started. Unlike traditional assets, the prices are influenced by a unique set of factors. This article will help you understand how its cost is determined and the key elements that play a role in shaping their value.   Understanding the Price of Bitcoin  The price of Bitcoin today is shaped by the fundamental principle of supply and demand. Like most assets, when demand for Bitcoin rises, and supply remains limited, its cost increases. Conversely, the cost tends to fall if there is more supply than demand. Bitcoin's capped supply adds a layer of scarcity, making it more susceptible to cost swings as demand shifts. Bitcoin's price is also influenced by various external factors, such as market sentiment, economic policies, and even global events. Traders and investors must stay aware of these variables to predict future price movements better.   Market Sentiment and Its Role in Crypto Prices Market sentiment, or investors' attention, plays a significant role in determining the cost of cryptocurrencies. If the market is optimistic about a particular cryptocurrency, you'll often see a surge in demand, driving costs higher. Joyous news, such as the increased adoption of blockchain technology or major companies accepting cryptocurrency as payment, can contribute to this optimism. Conversely, negative news, like regulatory crackdowns or security breaches on exchanges, can decrease investor confidence, causing costs to drop. Staying up-to-date about the latest news and developments is essential for traders.   The Impact of Supply and Demand Dynamics The basic economic principle of supply and demand directly affects the cost of cryptocurrencies. Demand plays a critical role since most digital currencies, like Bitcoin, have a fixed supply. The cost rises when more people want to buy Bitcoin, but fewer coins are available for sale. If demand drops or more coins flood the market, prices decrease. In addition to Bitcoin's limited supply, other factors such as mining difficulty, halving events, or even technical issues within the blockchain can influence supply. Understanding how these dynamics affect supply can give traders an edge in predicting cost trends.   Influence of Regulatory Decisions and Policies Government regulations and policies affect the value of cryptocurrencies. A favourable regulatory environment, where governments support or recognise digital currencies, can drive prices up as it boosts investor confidence. Conversely, strict regulations or outright bans on cryptocurrencies in some countries can lead to sharp cost declines. For example, announcements of future regulations on crypto exchanges or discussions about taxation policies can cause volatility in the market. Traders need to stay updated on global regulatory news, as these changes can immediately impact cryptocurrency prices.   Technological Developments and Innovation The technology behind a cryptocurrency can also influence its cost. Innovations such as faster transaction speeds, lower fees, or improvements in blockchain security can increase the attractiveness of a particular cryptocurrency, thereby boosting its cost.   How to Stay Informed About Cryptocurrency Price Movements Consider using a reliable cryptocurrency exchange to stay informed about cryptocurrency price movements. These platforms provide real-time cost updates, market charts, and analytical tools to help you track the value of various cryptocurrencies.  A trusted exchange also offers notifications for significant cost changes and market trends, enabling you to make informed decisions quickly. Additionally, many exchanges provide educational resources and market insights, keeping you updated on the latest news, regulatory changes, and technological advancements in crypto. The price of Bitcoin today and other cryptocurrencies is shaped by various factors, including market sentiment, supply and demand, technological innovations, and regulatory decisions. Understanding these influences is crucial for anyone interested in crypto trading or investment. By staying informed and monitoring key factors, traders can navigate the market more effectively and anticipate cost movements more accurately.

Investing in a foreign market is a fantastic way to diversify your portfolio and discover opportunities in new and exciting markets. However, doing so comes with unique risks, such as varying laws and economies, that could make your investment journey more stressful than it needs to be.  Understanding certain things before investing in these markets can help you navigate things more easily and provide greater peace of mind when things don’t go as planned. Below, we’ve highlighted the most prominent things every investor looking into foreign markets should know.  Political Stability Although not often a serious factor to consider when investing in your home country, the political stability of a nation should be one of the first factors you look at when investing abroad. This is because any lapse in stability can have major implications on the value of your investment. Therefore, before investing abroad, do research into the government type of the nation you’ll be investing in. Also, look at things like when the next general elections will be (if it is a democratic society), how stable the current government is, and if any major political reforms are likely to occur over the term of your investment.  If anything is highlighted that could lead to governmental tensions, collapse, or upheaval, it may be best to invest in something else. Continuing to invest could be unnecessarily risky and return less than investing that money in casino games with payout rates of 96% and above. Economy The economy within a foreign territory is often tied closely to political stability. Changes in this economy are likely to have the largest effect on your investment and can lead to massive gains or even larger losses. To better understand the economy and its activity and output, do extensive research into its historical growth and predicted growth. This can often be based on the country’s GDP but can also be found in other public data. In addition to the GDP data, looking at inflation levels and trends over a few years and unemployment data will give you a better gauge of how the economy is growing or contracting. Understanding this can help you better understand what risk your investment may face.  Currency Risk Because foreign investment is commonly done in the local currency of the country you’re investing in, almost all investments carry currency risk. This risk relates to fluctuations in the country’s local currency and how these fluctuations can impact your investment. Should the exchange rate of the currency you’ve invested in suddenly experience higher-than-normal volatility, your investment could do exceptionally well or suddenly lose a large portion of its value. Therefore, understanding the factors that affect a specific currency can help ensure you invest in a lower-risk currency. To identify the factors that could impact currency, one should look at the policies set out by the country’s central bank, interest rate adjustments and predictions, and the country’s balance of trade. Political and economic stability also contribute significantly to currency risk and should be factored in. Geopolitical Risks Aside from internal risks (such as political and economic instability), many foreign countries may also offer unique geopolitical risks that could hinder your ability to grow your investment. Therefore, identifying and understanding these possible risks can help you steer clear of countries that could face problems in the near future. When looking for geopolitical risks, it is important to examine the international relationship between the country you want to invest in and others, particularly your own. While studying this relationship, it is also good to see what trade agreements countries may have with each other. More important than friendly agreements and treaties, however, is identifying any tensions or possible conflicts. These are often highlighted through sanctions imposed on a country or embargoes that try to limit trade. If any of these are present between the foreign country you’re looking at and another nation, it may be best to invest elsewhere.  Regulation If the above factors are suitable for investment and you’re ready to proceed, the next thing to understand is the regulation surrounding investing in the country. This varies from region to region, and what may be applicable in your home country may not be in another. Some of the most common regulatory restrictions involve how securities are regulated by the government. This includes understanding how and by whom enforcement of these regulations is undertaken. In addition, understanding what restrictions, incentives, financial reporting structures, and protection laws are in place for foreign investors is crucial. As all of these pertain to you as an investor, having a clear understanding of these things will help you understand the risks of your investment more clearly and also ensure you do things according to the law. Taxes Often bundled with regulation are taxation requirements, which are not only defined by the tax laws in the country you’re investing in but also by what tax laws may affect you at home based on having a foreign investment portfolio. Hiring a tax consultant trained in foreign investment may be best to ensure you correctly follow all applicable tax laws in both regions. If you prefer to do it yourself, it is vital to gain knowledge about any possible double taxation agreements between your country and the foreign one, what reporting requirements you may need to meet, and whether you have a foreign tax credit. In addition, find out if you will need to pay withholding taxes or capital gains tax on your investment and its returns in either the foreign country or your own. Failure to do this correctly could lead to trouble with regulatory agencies and significant fines for underdeclaration of income.  Conclusion Investing is not an exact science, regardless of where you choose to try to grow your capital. Investing in foreign markets, however, brings unique challenges. For this reason, understanding the factors above is critical if you’re thinking of making a foreign investment. These considerations will help you select the country best suited politically, economically, and geopolitically to your needs. It will also help you ensure you stay in line with the law and are able to make the best choices to streamline taxation and maximize your profits.

Yield Generation Brings Crypto Exchanges Closer to Replacing Traditional Banks "Will crypto platforms ever replace traditional financial services?" This question is increasingly appearing in both clickbait articles and serious expert discussions. A few years ago, the answer seemed clear—how could an innovative financial system compete with the centuries-old banking juggernaut? However, with 1.7 billion people lacking access to banking services, blockchain technology offers a solution for moving funds locally and globally. Some crypto ecosystems now provide full-fledged financial transfers and investment services, rivaling traditional banks in convenience and efficiency. Banking is more than just transferring funds; it also involves deposit operations that yield interest for clients. Recently, leading crypto platforms have ventured into this territory, offering users the ability to earn interest on their crypto holdings. Time to Earn: Crypto Platforms Introduce Interest Generation While it might seem that interest-earning features are the domain of large cryptocurrency exchanges, up-and-coming platforms are currently leading in terms of annual percentage rate (APR), convenience, and overall earning conditions. Take XBO.com, for example. This young yet highly promising crypto exchange platform has recently made waves by combining user-friendliness with high professionalism. XBO.com has recently introduced the Earn feature. Previously focused on high-quality crypto exchange and spot trading services, the platform expanded its functionality to offer clients effective means for generating passive income. Given the conditions offered by XBO.com, this decision has been spot on. XBO.com Leading the Interest Earning Race One of the most notable aspects of XBO.com’s Earn feature is the APR offered—up to 15%. With most established cryptocurrency platforms offering around 10% or less, this high rate sets XBO.com apart. Additionally, the selection of coins available for earning interest is worth mentioning. As of now, it includes BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, and SOL. Although this list may seem short, it aligns with XBO.com’s philosophy: simplicity over complexity. By offering a curated selection of the most promising cryptos, the platform provides unique market opportunities for interest earning. These features, along with perks like daily interest accumulation and flexible interest-earning timeframes (1, 3, or 12 months), make XBO.com stand out from its competitors, catering to even the most demanding clients. Ensuring Liquidity via Partnership with B2C2 For a young platform, launching a crypto interest project is challenging. Without a reliable partner, success is unlikely. XBO.com found such a partner in B2C2. B2C2 is renowned as one of the leading providers of liquidity in the cryptocurrency market. The company offers deep liquidity to a wide range of clients, including financial institutions, hedge funds, and other major market participants. Through its partnership with B2C2, XBO.com leverages this expertise to implement the Earn feature at the highest level. B2C2’s ability to provide liquidity ensures that XBO.com can offer attractive interest rates and timely interest payments, creating a win-win situation. This enhances XBO.com's service offerings and extends B2C2’s market presence. One Step Closer to Replacing Banks Despite the introduction of the Earn product, XBO.com and other crypto platforms are still far from traditional banks in terms of functionality and trust. It will take time to bridge this gap. However, young and ambitious crypto platforms are undoubtedly bringing that moment closer. While established crypto giants rest on their laurels, platforms like XBO.com—young, passionate, and innovative—drive the industry forward, continuously seeking ways to improve. As long as they exist, the crypto realm will continue to evolve. Follow Xbo.com’s social media to stay up date in the world of Crypto: https://linktr.ee/social_xbo   

Sponsored article Shukhrat Ibragimov and the controversial oligarch Kenes Rakishev have acquired a major Kazakh coal mine. A filing on the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) revealed that Shukhrat Ibragimov and Rakishev became joint owners of Shubarkol Premium coal mine on September 13, 2024, following the sale of fellow oligarch Timur Kulibayev's 67% stake in the business.  The other shareholders – FCI Management LLP, which held 16.5% and Trans Coal Investment Group LLP, also holding 16.5% - have also given up their respective stakes. Ibragimov is the son of Eurasian Resources Group (ERG) founder Alijan Ibragimov, who died in 2001. Shukhrat took over his father’s position on the mining company’s Board and recently became the chairman. His elevation to ERG chairman was reportedly helped by Rakishev, whose father-in-law Imangali Tasmagambetov is a powerful figure in Kazakh politics. Rakishev is known for his questionable associations, including with Ramzan Kadyrov, the authoritarian Kremlin-backed leader of Chechnya, whose militia participated in Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Rakishev has also struck up a close friendship with US President Joe Biden’s convicted son Hunter, who he described as ‘my brother from another mother!’. Rakishev has frequently been mentioned in investigations into alleged influence peddling by Hunter Bid. Shubarkol Premium, located in Karaganda, was established in 2017 and specialises in extracting long-flame coal ("grade D") for both domestic and international markets. The company has significantly increased its production, reaching over 3 million tons in 2022, compared to 801,000 tons in 2016. However, Shubarkol Premium has faced criticism in recent years amid allegations that it prioritises international buyers, particularly from China, over domestic consumers. Reports suggest that local residents in Karaganda have been charged exorbitant prices for coal, comparable to gold prices. The business venture marks Ibragimov and Rakishev’s second business partnership. In 2023, Monaco-resident Ibragimov invested $23 million in Rakishev-owned Borealis Foosd Inc., a Canadian ramen and noodle business whose backers include celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. However, the investment, made via Ibragimov’s BVI-incorporated company Belphar Ltd, has failed to help the struggling business. In May 2024, the company reported earnings per share of -49 cents and has adjusted its expansion plans to ease the company’s financial pressures. Borealis has also embarked on a stock buyback programme. The acquisition of Shubarkol is the latest in a flurry of new ventures for the businessman. The Financial Times reported earlier this year that in February 2023 Ibragimov became the owner of Forte Village, a luxury resort on the island of Sardinia, after the previous owner, Russian businessman Musa Bazhaev, was sanctioned by the European Union. Kazakh businessman Rakishev operates in a number industries via his holding group Fincraft Group LLP, through which he controls 78.85% of Fincraft Resources JSC and BTA Bank. In addition to Kazakhstan, the group operates in the United States, Ukraine, the UK, Russia, Cyprus and the Seychelles.

Neobanks or “challenger banks” have emerged as formidable challengers to traditional banking institutions. These digital-first banks have captivated customers with their user-friendly interfaces and innovative services. As the financial landscape continues to shift, what's next for these digital disruptors? In the last 10 years, we have witnessed their meteoric rise and the challenges they now face. Let's dive into the future of neobanks and explore how they're adapting to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market.   The Rise of Superapps One of the most intriguing developments in the digital banking sphere is the emergence of superapps. These all-in-one platforms are redefining how we interact with digital services, blending financial products with everyday activities like messaging, shopping, and entertainment. Take Kakao Bank, for instance. This South Korean neobank leveraged its parent company's massive user base to achieve unprecedented growth. Within just six months of launch, Kakao Bank amassed 1 million users, and by 2020, that number had skyrocketed to 13 million. Here's a quick look at Kakao Bank's remarkable growth: This rapid expansion wasn't just about user numbers. Kakao Bank turned profitable within 18 months, a feat that many neobanks are still struggling to achieve.   The Power of Integration Another superapp making waves is Grab, a Southeast Asian giant that started as a ride-hailing service. Grab's approach to financial services is particularly noteworthy. Rather than creating a standalone banking app, they've woven financial capabilities into their existing ecosystem. As one fintech analyst put it, "Grab isn't trying to be a universal bank. They're using financial capabilities to enhance the ecosystem they've already built." This strategy has allowed Grab to offer seamless financial services across their platform, from ride payments to food delivery. It's a model that traditional neobanks might need to consider as they expand their own product offerings. The AI Revolution Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to play a pivotal role in the future of neobanks. We're already seeing glimpses of this with chatbots and virtual assistants, but the potential goes far beyond customer service. Klarna, the Buy Now, Pay Later specialist, has been leading the charge with its AI-powered virtual assistant. Since its launch, this assistant has handled an impressive two million conversations, managing two-thirds of all customer service chats. Similarly, Bunq, a European neobank, has introduced an AI assistant named Finn. This digital helper has answered over 100,000 customer questions, resolving up to 40% of user support queries. But the real game-changer could be the development of fully AI-driven banking platforms. Imagine a bank where AI handles everything from risk assessment to product recommendations, all in real-time and with unprecedented accuracy. As one industry insider told me, "We're looking at a future where every customer could have a bespoke banking experience, tailored to their unique financial situation and goals." The Road Ahead The neobank landscape is evolving rapidly, and staying ahead will require constant innovation. As traditional banks catch up in the digital realm, neobanks will need to find new ways to differentiate themselves. Some, like Revolut, are aiming to become "all-in-one superapps" by adding features like eSIMs and travel experiences. Others are exploring targeted advertising propositions, suggesting a move towards more diverse revenue streams. Consultancy firm Elsewhen suggests that neobanks should consider the digital strategies of superapps, particularly in creating integrated banking experiences and managing complex multi-product environments within limited app real estate. As we look to the future, it's clear that the most successful neobanks will be those that can adapt quickly, embrace new technologies, and continue to put the customer experience at the heart of everything they do. The neobank revolution is far from over. In fact, it's only just beginning. As these digital disruptors continue to evolve, they're not just changing banking - they're reshaping the very fabric of our digital lives. The next chapter in this story promises to be even more exciting than the last.

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, September 12th, 2024, Chainwire   3DOS chooses Sui as the exclusive blockchain partner to power its global decentralized peer-to-peer manufacturing network Sui, a cutting-edge Layer 1 blockchain, announced a strategic alliance with 3DOS™, a leading innovator in decentralized manufacturing. The alliance promises to solve the coordination problems plaguing the $15.6 trillion global manufacturing market by coupling 3DOS's expansive network of 3D printers, manufacturers, and customers with Sui’s advanced decentralized blockchain technologies. Sui’s industry-first zkLogin technology will make onboarding new users particularly easy for 3DOS by natively allowing millions of people to access the service using traditional social accounts like Google or Twitch. Prior to engaging with Sui, the 3DOS founders pioneered one of the world’s first 3D printing operating systems and achieved remarkable results. So far, the platform has over 500,000 users, has manufactured 4.2 million parts, and has supported more than 15 million CAD designs across 120+ countries. Customers include John Deere, Google, MIT, Harvard, CalTech, UC Berkeley, Bosch, the British Army, the US Navy, the US Air Force, and NASA. These customers are currently being onboarded onto the network that 3DOS™ is building on Sui. A heat map of 3DOS’s decentralized infrastructure, which is now migrating to the SUI Mainnet, with over 24,000 3D Printed NFT’s minted within a week since launch. Data as of Sept 9, 2024 The current partnership adds to 3DOS the redundancy, transparency, speed, and flexibility inherent in leveraging Sui’s industry-leading decentralized technology platform. "At 3DOS, we believe that manufacturing should be decentralized. By tapping Sui to power our infrastructure, we now have the technology to enable this massive shift in our industry," said John Dogru, Founder and CEO of 3DOS. "3DOS is a 3D Operating System, bridging the digital world to the physical world, allowing anyone to access manufacturing capacity and 3D printers anywhere empowering local producers and eliminating waste, inventory, and the carbon footprint associated with international shipping.” Together, the technological innovations of the Sui and 3DOS combination will enable the massive global manufacturing industry to harness the power of localized production and eliminate the inefficiencies of high operational costs, and limited accessibility that currently plague it. The 3DOS/Sui solution addresses these continuing challenges and also vastly expands the world's manufacturing potential by connecting siloed 3D printing capacity to massive demand around the world. In the process, the partners’ decentralized approach will reduce costs, democratize manufacturing, and open up new economic opportunities globally. "Improving manufacturing processes is one of the world’s most important challenges, and the infrastructure that 3DOS is building on Sui marks a significant advancement that will catalyze economic growth and technological innovation," said Adeniyi Abiodun, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of Mysten Labs which developed the Sui Network. "Through this partnership with 3DOS, Sui is helping to create a global decentralized manufacturing network that empowers more individuals and businesses to participate in the production of physical goods."

By programming governing rules and processes directly into Sui’s blockchain, 3DOS achieves near-zero human intervention and infinite scalability. This approach optimizes resource efficiency and enhances supply chain transparency, reducing waste, improving cost-effectiveness, ensuring quality assurance, and facilitating global collaboration—all while empowering a diverse range of creators and innovators.

Zubr Capital is transforming real estate by funding an AI-backed tool that helps automate property valuations, research, viewing schedules, and agreement drafting.   Zubr Capital, a private equity firm focused on uncovering new investment opportunities in the IT and tech sectors, has turned its attention to the fast-growing Cypriot startup Placy. This groundbreaking AI (artificial intelligence) powered technology tool streamlines operations by taking time-consuming tasks like property valuations or research and automating them to free up human time availability.   Essential tasks such as drafting new client agreements, scheduling property viewings, and conducting comparative research of houses in the same neighborhood, can all be handled by Placy. The goal is to let professionals focus on what matters most – getting to know the unique needs and desires of those seeking to buy or sell property. Founded 10 months ago in Limassol by former colleagues from CIAN (a top 10 global property portal and NYSE unicorn of 2021) and Wargaming, Placy is being introduced in Cyprus as a “pilot market” with direct future integration for Greece, the UAE, and the UK.   The €1M in pre-seed funding will boost Placy's efforts to ensure success. This infusion of financial resources has two goals. First, Zubr’s funds will seek to improve Placy Pro, a white-label SaaS tool focused on B2B integrations developed for agencies and agents.   The second pathway Zubr’s capital will help is through improving the primary features of Placy, which allow seamless integration into WhatsApp and Telegram for landlords, sellers, and buyers. This will primarily be through further insight into R&D for Placy Assistant, a B2C tool. This B2C tool makes communication between property seekers and sellers much easier in the short and long term.   Zubr Capital led the funding round. Zubr Capital is a European Fund regulated by CySEC, focused on investing in high potential IT companies and expanding their capabilities to international markets. It has also supported other successful companies like Palta, a health & well-being technology company, and MediaCube, a fintech company for creators.    Zubr Capital is proud to have worked with the development and startup team behind Placy in the past. That previous record of successful performance, specifically in the pro-tech field, is what makes the startup launch so attractive. Public support for Placy is also at an all-time high due to previous awards for Startup of the Year in Cyprus and joining the US Microsoft Startup Hub.   Real estate investing requires many steps and streamlined operations to ensure all parties receive the care and professional advice necessary for decision-making. Placy is the perfect tool for improving this system so that everyone, from the home seller to the multi-agent real estate business, can reach new levels of success.

Boston, Massachusetts, September 11th, 2024, Chainwire   Hyperbridge sets a new benchmark for secure, scalable, and verifiable cross-chain communication, launching with the highest economic security in the market. The Web3 Foundation, in partnership with Scytale Digital, has led the seed funding round for Hyperbridge, a groundbreaking protocol poised to transform blockchain interoperability. This investment marks a significant milestone as the Web3 Foundation's inaugural funding initiative, highlighting Hyperbridge's critical role in the rapidly expanding Web3 ecosystem. Hyperbridge is emerging as a leader in the rapidly evolving sector, with its industry-leading cross-chain technology already being used by teams like Succinct, Axelar, Union, and Avail. The protocol has also already secured a parachain slot within the Polkadot ecosystem, reinforcing its deep integration and commitment to leveraging Polkadot’s unique strengths. In addition, Hyperbridge’s crowd loan raised an impressive $2.7 million, making it the most successful parachain crowd loan in the Polkadot ecosystem, a testament to its strong community support and technological promise. “Hyperbridge represents a significant step towards a cross-chain future, embodying the highest standards of security, scalability, and innovation," said Fabian Gompf, CEO of Web3 Foundation. "By building on Polkadot’s robust framework, Hyperbridge empowers the ecosystem with verifiable, unstoppable interoperability, setting a new benchmark for secure cross-chain solutions.” Hyperbridge is more than a simple asset bridge, it is a cryptoeconomic co-processor that combines advanced zero-knowledge technology and mechanistic protocols to deliver the most secure and verifiable cross-chain messaging and storage query solution available today. Unlike existing point-to-point bridge models, Hyperbridge introduces a hub model that scales verifiable interoperability across all chains. The platform’s innovative architecture, built on Polkadot, allows it to offer unmatched security and scalability, positioning it at the forefront of cross-chain solutions. Security is at the core of the Hyperbridge design, with audits conducted by the same team responsible for Polkadot. As the industry grapples with insecure multisig bridges, Hyperbridge’s zk light clients for Polkadot and Ethereum offer a secure, verifiable alternative. By consolidating multiple connections into a unified, reliable network, Hyperbridge aims to be the leader in verifiable, cross-chain communication and interoperability. "Hyperbridge represents the next evolution in secure cross-chain interoperability.” Said Mark Cachia, CIO of Scytale Digital, “Seun's deep expertise and innovative approach ensure that Hyperbridge addresses the critical security flaws of traditional bridges and sets a new standard for verifiable and unstoppable interoperability. This investment aligns perfectly with our vision of a fully interconnected web3 ecosystem, and we're proud to support a project with such transformative potential."  Exclusively built on Polkadot, Hyperbridge inherits the network’s unparalleled economic security, giving it the highest level of economic security for any bridge available today. Polkadot’s design, optimized for high interoperability, fast-finality, and affordable compute through agile coretime, provides the perfect foundation for Hyperbridge’s rollup architecture. This close integration allows Hyperbridge to offer cross-chain messaging and storage queries to developers from day one, setting new standards for secure, scalable, and efficient interoperability. Seun Lanlege, Founder of Polytope Labs, the developers of Hyperbridge, shared, “Bridges are only as secure as their authentication mechanisms. Traditional bridges that rely on multisig committees for authentication have seen over $2B lost to exploits. Hyperbridge disintermediates these middlemen by relying on finality and storage proofs for cross-chain message authentication, providing a level of security equivalent to the blockchains it connects.” Hyperbridge unlocks a wide array of use cases, including verifiable cross-chain intents, non-custodial native bridges for unified liquidity, and multichain expansion for stablecoins, RWAs, and DAO tokens. It also opens up possibilities for advanced cryptoeconomic coprocessors, such as state coprocessors for TWAPs and on-chain insurance protocols, as well as zk aggregation coprocessors. These innovations set Hyperbridge apart, offering developers the tools to create new financial and decentralized applications that were previously impossible.

San Francisco, United States, September 9th, 2024, Chainwire Innovative startup from Ethereum Core research, Google Brain, Stanford, MIT, and CMU aims to democratize on-device intelligence, empowering users with control over their personal AI, and receiving investment from a16z CSX, Hack VC, and investors from projects like Solana, Polygon, Near, Worldcoin, etc. PIN AI, a pioneering AI infrastructure company, announces $10 million in pre-seed funding to develop the world’s first open-source Personal Intelligence Network (PIN). A16z CSX, Hack VC, and notable investors, including Blockchain Builders Fund (Stanford Blockchain Accelerator), Illia Polosukhin (Transformer paper author; Founder, NEAR Protocol), Anagram/Lily Liu (President, SOL Foundation), Symbolic Capital (Co-Founder, Polygon), Evan Cheng (CEO, Mysten Labs/SUI), dcbuilder (Worldcoin Foundation), Foresight Ventures (parent company of the Block), Nomad Capital, Tim Shi (Co-Founder, Cresta), Ben Fisch (CEO, Espresso), Scott Moore (Co-Founder, Gitcoin), Alumni Ventures, and Dispersion Capital, have backed the project. Offering an open-source, web3-enabled alternative to Apple Intelligence, PIN AI's platform turns smartphones into privacy-focused AI personal assistants. By redirecting profits from users' data and attention, it empowers users to regain control and monetize their data. The platform leverages personal, contextual data and cryptography, deploying cutting-edge AI models on-device to handle tasks across apps—like shopping, ordering food, wealth management, and interacting with centralized exchanges, DeFi, and prediction markets. This AI-driven assistant ensures robust privacy and user-controlled data management, disrupting ultra-profitable models of web2 giants, including Apple's 30% app revenue cut (over $100 billion) and Google’s mobile ads and Android store revenue cuts. Davide Crapis, Co-Founder leading Protocol Research, said, "We’re building a movement towards an open-source future where personal AI assistants can work on PIN AI’s platform like smart contracts on Ethereum." He added, "PIN AI will take back the $100b+ profit from tech giants and return it to users, allowing them to control and monetize their data. Our platform offers access to a wider range of AI agents, developed by the open-source community, capable of handling tasks across popular apps." PIN AI's mission is to foster innovation for personal AI agents by offering access to personal, contextual data that reflects individual users' needs and preferences. Unlike closed ecosystems like Apple, PIN AI’s open platform connects privacy-protected user data via a Layer-2 blockchain. This enables more flexibility in AI application development without the constraints of traditional, closed systems. Bill Sun, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist, said, "On-device multi-modality models will revolutionize daily life. We are building a personal index for each user to create an on-device model that evolves via distributed training on the user's phone. Soon, users won’t need to open multiple apps to complete tasks. The personal AI assistant will understand preferences and manage tasks efficiently." PIN AI's assistant will connect users with apps and services bidding on its blockchain protocol to fulfill tasks like shopping or crypto activities. PIN AI shifts data monetization from big tech to users, allowing secure monetization of personal data. Users receive token incentives through data onboarding and intent fulfillment, only providing necessary data with matched Personal AI Agents, while maintaining control of their information. At launch, PIN AI partners with Worldcoin and is developing a front-end product similar to Siri, expanding its reach and enhancing user experience. Leading the team are co-founders Davide Crapis and Ben Wu. Crapis, formerly of Ethereum Core Research, leads Protocol Research. Ben Wu, heading Strategy, is an MIT graduate, Y Combinator alum, and serial entrepreneur. The technical leadership includes Bill Sun, a Stanford AI/Math PhD and early Google Brain researcher, as Chief AI Scientist, and Regan Peng, a CMU graduate and former lead at Didi Fintech and Yahoo Data Infra, as Founding Head of Engineering. PIN AI collaborates with a16z crypto research, Flashbots, Espresso Systems, and academics from Stanford, Columbia, and NYU. Ben Wu emphasized the importance of an open platform, saying, “The open internet has made large language models possible. We need to build an open platform for users on their trusted device, allowing access to their various data, making their Personal AI possible." Unlike Apple Intelligence, PIN AI's system can run on low-spec smartphones by dynamically shifting between edge AI (on-device) and server AI to optimize performance, ensuring wide accessibility. The funding will expand research, grow the team of AI and blockchain experts, and accelerate the deployment of PIN AI’s technology. The company will join the a16z CSX Fall 2024 cohort in New York City. About PIN AI PIN AI is developing an open-source personal AI operating system that leverages smartphone and app data to empower users with control and privacy. The company's approach aims to connect AI developers with users, promoting data sovereignty and developer empowerment. PIN AI collaborates with Ethereum Core Research and is committed to privacy and innovation. For more updates, visit pinai.io, X (formerly Twitter), Telegram, Discord, and Linkedin.

Forgd, a token advisory and optimization platform, announced the launch of its free-to-use web platform, which provides blockchain projects unrestricted access to tools for tokenomics design, liquidity monitoring, cap table management, and financial planning. Forgd eliminates financial barriers associated with traditional Web3 Advisory and consolidates an otherwise fragmented services industry built to support blockchain projects as they issue a token. A token launch involves complex challenges, prompting many blockchain projects to hire multiple external advisors for tasks like tokenomics modeling, market maker engagement, and exchange listing. These engagements can be costly and often lead to operational inefficiencies, given that few advisors operate an end-to-end process. Forgd addresses these challenges with free software tools for executing all vital go-to-market activities and optimizing token performance post-launch. This “self-service” approach to Web3 advisory allows teams to execute at their own pace. "Many of the tasks involved in a token launch are outside the expertise of a typical tech founder, which is why we created a set of tools to streamline and simplify the process in an end-to-end application," said Shane Molidor, CEO and Founder of Forgd. "Forgd was built in response to the recurring needs of founders we’ve observed in Web3. Our DIY software tools not only reduce costs but also allow teams to concentrate on product innovation rather than specialized capital market activities." Shane Molidor is a 10-year cryptocurrency veteran who formerly operated as CEO of AscendEX, Head of Trading at FBG Capital, and Business Development Associate at Gemini. Forgd recently enhanced its capabilities by acquiring Tokenomics DAO, a research institution focused on tokenomics and novel protocol design.  For blockchain projects that haven’t yet launched their token, Forgd helps them design tokenomics, conduct cash flow analysis & prepare for fundraising, secure partnerships with market makers & exchanges, and navigate administrative tasks such as offshore company formation. For projects with a live token, Forgd provides tools for monitoring market maker performance & token unlocks, automated token streaming, and even non-custodial liquidity provision. In a strategic move, Forgd has aligned with the Solana Foundation to provide select tools exclusively for projects built on the Solana blockchain. This collaboration underscores the Forgd commitment to supporting scalable blockchain ecosystems and fostering project growth. "We are thrilled to collaborate with the Solana Foundation to offer our tools to Solana's vibrant developer ecosystem," said Florian Strauf, CTO of Forgd and Founder of Tokenomics DAO. "This strategic alignment highlights our dedication to creating public goods to support blockchain entrepreneurs, and we look forward to partnering with other blockchain base layers to create comprehensive cross-chain support." Forgd reports that over 250 projects have already benefited from using its pioneering tools, such as “AMM²”, a non-custodial market making protocol that empowers projects to act as their liquidity provider across all major exchanges with automated rebalancing. “The positive response since our private beta launch in Q1’24 has been overwhelming,” commented Shane Molidor. “Our team is motivated to continue innovating and developing new tools to empower Web3 entrepreneurs aiming to launch and scale projects of their own.” For more information about Forgd and its services, users can visit Forgd.com. About Forgd: Forgd is a token advisory and optimization platform with free software tools for blockchain founders to launch and scale their projects. Operating as a public good, Forgd is reinventing Web3 advisory by providing blockchain projects free access to specialized capital markets tools such as tokenomics modeling, liquidity monitoring, cap table management, exchange listing, and financial planning. In addition to its self-service software tools, Forgd offers tailored consulting services for teams seeking extra guidance. This approach allows Forgd to service a broad spectrum of blockchain projects ranging from DIY enthusiasts to those who prefer white-glove support, ensuring accessibility and expert assistance are readily available. www.x.com/forgd_

‘Mind the gap’ is not just a phrase you hear on the London Underground; it is also a reminder of the importance of diversity in the workplace. Employees from different generations often see job roles in unique ways. Anuka Surmanidze, HR Business Partner at SOFTSWISS Managed Services, explains how embracing cognitive diversity can help us better understand Generation Z's and Millennials' work preferences. By 2030, these groups are expected to make up about 58% of the adult population as more young people enter the workforce. Understanding Cognitive Diversity Cognitive diversity is how people think, process information, and solve problems. It highlights how each person’s unique thinking adds something valuable to a team. When a group approaches challenges from various perspectives, they are more likely to develop creative and practical solutions. This blend of different thinking styles sparks fresh ideas and boosts productivity and innovation. In short, a team with diverse problem-solving approaches can find the right solutions faster and more efficiently.  Ned Herrmann's Whole Brain® Thinking Ned Herrmann's Whole Brain® Thinking is a model that helps teams understand and take advantage of different thinking styles. Herrmann’s concept is based on the idea that people typically favour one of four distinct thinking styles, each linked to various brain areas. By effectively recognising and using these styles, teams can improve their problem-solving abilities, communication, and overall performance. Analytical Thinking (A Quadrant): This style is about logic and data. Analytical thinkers love details and use facts to solve problems in a structured way. Practical Thinking (B Quadrant): Practical thinkers focus on getting things done efficiently. They plan, organise, and aim for precise results, keeping everyone on track. Relational Thinking (C Quadrant): Relational thinkers excel at connecting with others. They are empathetic and great at building strong, collaborative teams. Innovative Thinking (D Quadrant): Innovative thinkers are the idea generators. They love creativity and thrive on exploring new possibilities. By understanding and appreciating these different thinking styles through the Whole Brain® Thinking model, you can enhance teamwork, problem-solving, and innovation within your team.       Generational Cognitive Diversity: Shaping the Workplace Across Ages Diversity means different things to different generations, and as each has grown, their views have changed how we see society and work. "Everyone you meet knows something you don’t." – Bill Nye Generational diversity is about the unique attitudes, behaviours, and values from different life experiences. These differences shape how each generation approaches work and social issues. Baby Boomers (1946–1964)Baby Boomers saw the start of workplace diversity efforts, focusing on gender equality and opening doors for a more inclusive environment. Generation X (1965–1980)Gen X prioritised work-life balance and flexibility, broadening diversity discussions to include various work styles and arrangements. Millennials (1981–1996)Millennials have pushed diversity further, advocating for inclusivity across race, gender, sexuality, and disability, driving more comprehensive workplace inclusion programs.     At SOFTSWISS, millennials form the team's core, with the average manager being 33 years old and most employees around 30. This generational influence shapes much of the company’s culture and values. Millennials, who grew up playing games like Super Mario, are used to getting quick rewards and feedback. In these games, finishing a level comes with instant perks like points or extra lives, giving a sense of accomplishment that keeps players engaged. This desire for immediate feedback is something to remember when communicating with this group. Generation Z (1997–2012) Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, has grown up in a world where they are always connected. Constant exposure to different cultures and perspectives online has given them a broad understanding of diversity, which they view as more than just a mix of nationalities. For Gen Z, diversity includes different ways of thinking, varied skills, and unique experiences. As true digital natives, they are skilled multitaskers who quickly adapt to new tech.  Understanding that everyone approaches tasks differently – and seeing these differences as strengths rather than obstacles – can help us learn from each other and grow together.  

With Digital Fraud on the Rise, Top Fintech Providers Step Up to Ensure Client Security In recent years, fintech has revolutionized the way we manage our finances. From instant digital payments and online banking to cryptocurrency trading, fintech has made financial transactions faster, more convenient, and more accessible than ever before. However, this digital revolution comes with a downside. In the wrong hands, even the most beneficial instruments can be used for malicious purposes. While most users adopt new financial technologies to simplify their lives, others exploit these innovations for fraudulent practices. For example, in 2023, about $22.2 billion worth of cryptocurrency was sent to illicit addresses, a clear scheme of money laundering. Cryptocurrency is just one component of fintech; other elements like P2P digital payments and online banking significantly increase these numbers. Fintech Providers Face Security Challenges Under these conditions, top fintech providers face a dual challenge: offering competitive financial services while ensuring high-level protection for their clients. The industry’s leaders are now in a heated race to implement the most effective anti-fraud and anti-money laundering (AML) measures. B2B fintech solution providers demonstrate the highest dedication to security. Unlike other businesses focusing on specific financial services, B2B solution providers create comprehensive ecosystems relied upon by other organizations. With such responsibility, enhanced safety measures are crucial to protect both their operations and those of their clients. Fintech360 Leading the Fintech Solutions Race A prime example of a fintech solution provider committed to security is Fintech360. This company’s responsible approach to transaction and data safety sets it apart as a leader in the field. Fintech360 is renowned for its high-quality B2B services provided to regulated brokers, including CRM systems, payment gateways, business intelligence tools, trading platforms, and more. Fintech360’s mission goes beyond profit-making; it aims to revolutionize the brokerage industry with innovative omni-channel solutions. The company focuses on achieving the highest efficiency while keeping its trading platforms simple and user-friendly, available for both iOS and Android. How Fintech360 Ensures Client Protection Fintech360 is a blueprint for B2B fintech solutions providers, both in the quality of its services and the security measures it takes to protect its clients. The company’s security system relies on a multi-layered, cloud-based infrastructure that ensures the highest level of data safety. It meets the latest industry standards, employing advanced security tools to protect sensitive information and prevent fraudulent practices. Major safety measures employed by Fintech360 include Rest API encrypted protocols and disc encryption at rest, ensuring secure data storage and transfer. Given the volume of data handled, this aspect cannot be overestimated. Other security measures include Data Loss Prevention (DLP) services, comprehensive security logs, a permission-based platform structure, and automatic security monitoring tools. Additionally, the company utilizes two-factor authentication (2FA) for both B2B clients and internal users. Fintech360 Teams Up with FUGU for Enhanced Security Despite its robust internal security measures, Fintech360 recognizes the value of third-party support in covering global, strategically important elements like anti-fraud and AML. To this end, Fintech360 has partnered with FUGU, a leading provider of payment fraud detection software known for its innovative approach to digital safety. FUGU’s post-checkout verification system allows parties to confidently accept transactions while minimizing the risk of false declines, a common method of fraud. Using constant transaction monitoring, pattern analysis, and AI tools, FUGU effectively combats various fraud models, including stolen identities, account takeovers, and friendly fraud. In terms of AML, FUGU excels with customer due diligence (CDD) and know your customer (KYC) procedures, ensuring thorough vetting of platform clients and preventing onboarding of individuals involved in money laundering. FUGU’s transaction monitoring mechanisms detect suspicious patterns and eradicate potential money laundering operations without manual involvement. Setting an Industry Safety Example Fintech360's collaboration with FUGU represents a significant step towards even greater digital security in fintech. This partnership highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to digital security, covering all crucial elements. Today, fintech providers emphasize protecting customer data and funds, recognizing the critical nature of these issues. However, they must not overlook anti-fraud and AML measures as essential components of their security infrastructure. By teaming up with FUGU, Fintech360 solidified its position as a leader in fintech security. This partnership serves as a noteworthy example for other companies, demonstrating that to be the best, you should collaborate with the best. This statement holds true for both Fintech360 and FUGU.

BTC breaking above $62,000 does not necessarily indicate that the market is starting to rebound or recover. Yesterday, several positive news developments influenced market trends: Macroeconomic Data: The U.S. Department of Labor released the jobless claims data for the week, which came in lower than expected. This alleviated some concerns about a U.S. economic recession, leading to a slight rebound in the U.S. stock market. Cryptocurrency-Related News: According to TASS, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law legalizing cryptocurrency mining in Russia. The law introduces new concepts, including digital currency mining, mining pools, mining infrastructure operators, address identifiers, and individuals organizing mining pool activities. Cointelegraph reported, citing informed sources, that Morgan Stanley, the largest wealth management firm in the U.S., authorized its 15,000 financial advisors to start recommending Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to clients beginning on August 7th. While these market developments have further driven the market rebound, the trading data reveals that during this oversold rebound, the overall Bitcoin holdings did not show a significant increase. As prices rebounded, the holdings continued to decrease, indicating that the price rebound was caused by short covering. This type of holding structure cannot support a full market reversal or recovery.   In addtion, The news that Brazil has approved the world's first Solana spot ETF has indeed had a positive impact on Solana's price, providing some support for the short-term rise in SOL's    Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Research

Players can deposit USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Binance Coin or its own native token CHP which unlocks 33% rakeback for holders.       For added security, CoinPoker also makes use of Fireblocks vaults and a decentralized RNG (random number generator) software that players can verify the randomness of after every hand, utilizing Ethereum’s Keccak-256 algorithm.   CoinPoker Sign Mario Mosböck, Patrick ‘Pads’ Leonard 28 year old Mario Mosböck, who played as a forward for Austrian Football club Wiener Neustädter SC, recently made a name for himself on the live and online poker scene.

While Forex hedging used to be an advanced financial strategy by global corporations, modern FinTech providers have enabled all types of companies with global exposure to mitigate and even nullify the risk of currency fluctuations. With multi-currency accounts, business debit cards and advanced currency hedging options such as forward contracts and limit orders, companies of all sizes are now able to easily set up thorough hedging strategies and improve their cashflow management. What is a multi-currency account? A multi-currency account allows users to hold and manage multiple currencies on a single account to avoid foreign exchange rate fluctuations by holding the desired currencies directly. This is particularly beneficial for international transactions, as users can make and receive payments in different currencies without the need for immediate conversion, thereby avoiding unfavourable FX rates. If the multi-currency account offers hedging options, users are even able to engage in forward contracts, which are agreements to buy or sell a currency at a predetermined rate on a future date. These contracts allow users to lock in exchange rates and protect against currency volatility. Even better: Some providers offer access to local payment schemes, which means that companies all over the world can use networks such as SEPA for the Eurozone or ACH for the US-market instead of the costly SWIFT network. Therefore, by choosing the right FinTech provider, companies now have much more options to reduce the risks and costs associated with global trade. Advantages of a multi-currency account with hedging functions New FinTech providers offer advanced currency hedging functions, which even traditional banks can’t compete with in terms of accessibility and useability.   Intuitiv self-serving hedging options This feature allows users to independently manage their currency risks online. With just a few clicks, users can enter into forward contracts to lock in exchange rates for future transactions. These tools are available 24/7, providing a flexible and convenient way to manage financial risks. However, it is important to note that not all FinTech providers offer these advanced hedging options. Companies should carefully research their provider to ensure that all necessary features and services are available.     Transparent FX margins and forward points Self-serving options and transparency go hand in hand. A certain level of transparency ensures that users can see exactly what they are being charged for forward contracts with respective currency pairs and value dates. Modern FinTech providers offer a clear and straightforward interface that enables account holders to make informed decisions about their transactions and hedging strategies.   Flexible forward contracts Flexible forward contracts offer the possibility to adjust value dates with just a few clicks, providing greater control over their financial planning. If needed, account holders can easily change the settlement dates of their contracts or conduct partial drawdowns to utilise only a portion of the contract value at a time. This flexibility ensures that users can tailor their hedging strategies to their specific needs.   No minimum hedging requirements Unlike traditional financial institutions that often impose high entry barriers, multi-currency accounts with no minimum hedging thresholds even allow SMEs to manage their currency risks effectively without the need for large capital commitments. By offering flexible and user-friendly currency hedging options, these accounts empower SMEs to adopt sophisticated financial strategies that were previously reserved for larger corporations only.     Improved cashflow management Some multi-currency accounts integrate with accounting software and automate tasks such as transaction recording, currency conversion, and financial reporting. This reduces the administrative burden and minimises manual errors. By leveraging cash management automation, businesses can optimise their cashflow management, enhance efficiency, and digitise their processes instead of manual financial administration.     Swiss FinTech provider amnis offers multi-currency accounts with advanced hedging options amnis is a Swiss Fintech provider that offers access to a financial ecosystem, which includes all the features needed to decrease costs and risks associated with currency fluctuation. The multi-currency account with optional business debit cards holds over 40 foreign currencies and even offers interest balance cashback payments on idle funds. With amnis’ intuitive interface, companies can actively hedge against fluctuations of major currency pairs through forward contracts. Moreover, companies no longer need the costly SWIFT network, as they gain access to payment networks in the UK, US, CH and EU for free local payments and collections, no matter where they are located. The Starter package is already available at 0 EUR and provides access to the entire ecosystem.

Among the many innovations that are currently reshaping the digital world, few are as impactful as the spread of cloud hosting. For businesses of all sizes seeking to reduce operational costs while expanding digital capabilities, cloud technologies have become a game-changer, allowing them to focus on innovations while delegating technicalities to third parties. With the right cloud hosting provider, businesses can achieve new levels of efficiency, staying competitive amidst market turbulence. This way, even up-and-coming companies or lesser-known startups have the opportunity to compete in their respective spheres without worrying about the creation and maintenance of extensive server networks and other physical infrastructure. Cloud Computing Leaders: AWS Even if you’ve never delved deep into the topic of cloud computing, chances are high that you’ve dealt with this technology at some point in your life, even unknowingly. Some of the most popular cloud solutions are provided by instantly recognizable big names like Google, Microsoft, or Amazon. Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon’s subsidiary, currently stands as one of the leaders in the field of cloud hosting. Known for its extensive set of services, AWS helps countless businesses realize their full potential, granting them everything from computing power and storage space to advanced analytics and machine learning instruments. In addition, AWS is continually innovating and adding new services to its already impressive selection. This provides an undeniable competitive advantage to its clients, who gain access to the newest technologies as soon as they emerge—all without undergoing any global system overhauls, as all changes are implemented on AWS’s side. Fintech360 Revolutionizing the Fintech Industry Despite the undeniable benefits of cloud hosting services, there is a common misconception that they are primarily intended for startups or small businesses incapable of affording their own servers. In reality, many established industry leaders, especially in fintech, rely on cloud hosting to maintain their competitive advantage. One such leader is Fintech360, a prominent B2B provider of financial technology services, particularly solutions tailored to brokers’ needs.

This is where strategic partnerships with leading digital service providers, such as AWS, come into play.

AWS utilizes the most up-to-date security techniques, including data encryption, secure and customizable access controls, firewalls, and automated incident response features. Additionally, AWS ensures full compliance with regulatory standards, which is crucial for any law-abiding fintech provider. Another noteworthy advantage of the partnership with AWS is the speed and continuity of service provision. By relying on AWS for matters within their competence, Fintech360 can ensure that relevant services are provided at the highest level and within the shortest timeframe. Potential problems are promptly resolved by highly qualified teams utilizing the extensive resources of one of the most influential digital companies today.

The landscape of college education is rapidly evolving, largely driven by advancements in technology. As students navigate through their academic journeys, the integration of innovative tools and digital platforms is transforming the way they learn, complete assignments, and engage with educational content. This shift is not only enhancing the educational experience but also equipping students with the skills needed for the future workforce. With the help of EssayPro research papers, students can access high-quality academic resources that support their learning. These resources are particularly valuable in a tech-driven educational environment where information is abundant, but credible sources are essential for academic success. As we delve into the future trends and tools in college education, it is clear that technology will continue to play a pivotal role. From virtual classrooms to AI-driven learning platforms, the possibilities are endless. Understanding these trends can help students, educators, and institutions better prepare for the future of education. The Rise of Digital Learning Platforms Virtual Classrooms One of the most significant advancements in college education is the rise of virtual classrooms. These online environments allow students to attend lectures, participate in discussions, and collaborate on projects from anywhere in the world. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for students who have other commitments such as work or family responsibilities. Virtual classrooms often feature interactive tools such as video conferencing, digital whiteboards, and real-time chat. These tools facilitate a dynamic learning experience, making it easier for students to engage with the material and with each other. Learning Management Systems (LMS) Learning Management Systems (LMS) are another critical tool in modern education. Platforms like Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle provide a centralized hub where students can access course materials, submit assignments, and track their progress. LMS platforms also offer features such as quizzes, discussion forums, and gradebooks, making it easier for instructors to manage their courses and provide feedback to students. The integration of LMS with other educational tools, such as plagiarism checkers and e-textbooks, further enhances the learning experience. Students can access a wide range of resources and tools within a single platform, streamlining their studying process. Emerging Technologies in Education Artificial Intelligence (AI) Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way students learn and interact with educational content. AI-powered tools can provide personalized learning experiences by analyzing a student's performance and adapting the content to their needs. For example, AI can identify areas where a student is struggling and suggest additional resources or practice exercises to help them improve. AI-driven chatbots are also becoming more common in educational settings. These virtual assistants can answer students' questions, provide reminders about assignments and deadlines, and even offer tutoring support. By automating routine tasks, AI allows educators to focus on more meaningful interactions with their students. Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are creating immersive learning experiences that were once unimaginable. AR overlays digital information onto the real world, enhancing traditional learning materials with interactive elements. For example, AR can bring historical events to life by overlaying 3D models and animations onto textbooks. VR, on the other hand, provides a fully immersive experience that can transport students to different environments. This technology is particularly useful for fields such as medicine, engineering, and the sciences, where students can practice skills and explore concepts in a safe, virtual environment. The Future of Assessments and Assignments Online Assessments The shift towards digital learning has also transformed the way assessments are conducted. Online assessments offer several advantages over traditional paper-based exams, including flexibility, instant feedback, and the ability to use multimedia elements. Students can complete assessments from anywhere, and instructors can use automated grading tools to save time and ensure consistency. Collaborative Assignments Technology is making it easier for students to collaborate on assignments, regardless of their physical location. Tools such as Google Docs, Slack, and Trello facilitate real-time collaboration, allowing students to work together on projects, share ideas, and track progress. These tools also help students develop essential skills such as communication, teamwork, and project management, which are valuable in both academic and professional settings. Enhancing Learning with Technology Adaptive Learning Technologies Adaptive learning technologies use data and analytics to create personalized learning experiences. These tools can identify a student's strengths and weaknesses and adapt the content to match their needs. For example, an adaptive learning platform might provide additional practice problems for a student who is struggling with a particular concept or offer advanced materials for a student who is excelling. Gamification Gamification is another trend that is gaining popularity in education. By incorporating game-like elements such as points, badges, and leaderboards into the learning process, educators can increase student engagement and motivation. Gamification can make learning more enjoyable and encourage students to take an active role in their education. Conclusion The integration of technology in college education is reshaping the way students learn, complete assignments, and engage with academic content. With tools like virtual classrooms, AI, AR/VR, and adaptive learning technologies, the future of education looks promising. These advancements not only enhance the learning experience but also prepare students for the challenges of the modern workforce. As students continue to embrace these technological tools, it is essential to recognize the value of quality academic resources.

Integrating real estate concepts into educational curricula offers a unique opportunity to equip students with practical skills that are highly relevant in the real world. Understanding real estate can enhance various academic disciplines and provide students with valuable knowledge that extends beyond the classroom. "Will you write my research paper for me?" This question often arises among college students grappling with complex topics. By incorporating real estate principles into their studies, students can gain a deeper understanding of subjects such as economics, business, and environmental science. This integration not only enriches their academic experience but also prepares them for future careers in a dynamic industry. The Importance of Real Estate Education Enhancing Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills Real estate education encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills. When students engage with real estate concepts, they learn to analyze market trends, evaluate property values, and consider various factors affecting real estate decisions. These skills are transferable to many other fields, making students more versatile and capable professionals. Practical Applications in Various Disciplines Real estate concepts are applicable in numerous academic disciplines. For instance, in economics, understanding housing markets and property values can provide insights into broader economic trends. In environmental science, studying land use and sustainable development helps students grasp the importance of responsible resource management. By integrating real estate into the curriculum, schools can offer a more comprehensive and interdisciplinary education. Implementing Real Estate Concepts in School Curricula Developing Relevant Coursework and Assignments To effectively integrate real estate concepts, schools should develop coursework and assignments that align with real-world applications. Assignments could include market analysis projects, case studies on property development, and simulations of real estate transactions. These activities not only make learning more engaging but also help students apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios. Collaborating with Industry Professionals Schools can enhance their curricula by collaborating with real estate professionals. Guest lectures, workshops, and internships provide students with firsthand insights into the industry. These collaborations bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world experience, preparing students for successful careers in real estate and related fields. Benefits for Students Improved Job Prospects Understanding real estate can significantly improve students' job prospects. The real estate industry offers a wide range of career opportunities, from property management to urban planning. By gaining expertise in this field, students can enhance their resumes and stand out in a competitive job market. Enhanced Financial Literacy Real estate education also enhances financial literacy. Students learn about mortgages, investments, and financial planning, which are essential life skills. This knowledge empowers them to make informed financial decisions and manage their personal finances more effectively. Challenges and Solutions Overcoming Curriculum Overload One of the main challenges in integrating real estate concepts into curricula is the potential for curriculum overload. Schools must carefully balance existing subjects with new content to ensure that students are not overwhelmed. This can be achieved by incorporating real estate topics into elective courses or interdisciplinary projects. Ensuring Accessibility and Relevance Another challenge is ensuring that real estate education is accessible and relevant to all students. Schools should design inclusive curricula that cater to diverse learning needs and backgrounds. Additionally, real estate concepts should be taught in a way that highlights their relevance to various academic and career paths. Conclusion Integrating real estate concepts into modern educational curricula offers numerous benefits for students. It enhances critical thinking, provides practical applications in various disciplines, and improves job prospects. By collaborating with industry professionals and developing relevant coursework, schools can prepare students for successful careers and empower them with essential life skills. For students seeking help with nursing assignment, incorporating real estate education can also offer a unique perspective on housing and healthcare facilities, further enriching their academic experience.

Education has long been recognized as a cornerstone of economic development. From ancient civilizations to modern economies, the pursuit of knowledge and the development of skills have consistently been linked to societal progress. Today, the connection between education and economic growth is more evident than ever, especially in an era where technological advancements and global competition demand a highly educated workforce. For students who need help writing a paper, understanding the profound impact of education on economic growth is crucial. It not only highlights the importance of their academic endeavors but also motivates them to see their studies as a gateway to contributing to society's broader economic stability. Whether it's completing college assignments, engaging in school projects, or diligently working on homework, every aspect of studying plays a pivotal role in shaping the future. This article delves into how education fosters economic growth and stability, exploring the pathways through which learning translates into economic benefits. By examining the intricate relationship between education and the economy, students can gain a clearer perspective on the value of their educational journey. The Foundation of Economic Growth Human Capital Development One of the primary ways education contributes to economic growth is through the development of human capital. Human capital refers to the skills, knowledge, and abilities that individuals acquire through education and training. When students engage in studying, whether at school or college, they are essentially building their human capital, which is vital for economic productivity. Educated individuals tend to have higher earning potential, which translates into increased consumer spending and investment in the economy. Moreover, a well-educated workforce is more adaptable to technological changes and innovations, driving economic progress and stability. Innovation and Technological Advancement Education is a critical driver of innovation and technological advancement. Colleges and universities are often at the forefront of research and development, leading to breakthroughs that fuel economic growth. Students who immerse themselves in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields are particularly instrumental in this process. Through their assignments, homework, and research projects, they contribute to a continuous cycle of innovation. For instance, the tech industry relies heavily on the contributions of educated individuals who possess the skills to develop new software, hardware, and digital solutions. This not only creates jobs but also enhances productivity across various sectors, leading to overall economic stability. Education and Economic Stability Reducing Income Inequality Education plays a pivotal role in reducing income inequality, which is crucial for economic stability. By providing equal opportunities for learning, education helps level the playing field, allowing individuals from diverse backgrounds to achieve economic success. Schools and colleges that prioritize inclusivity and accessibility ensure that all students, regardless of their socio-economic status, can pursue quality education. When students are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge, they are more likely to secure well-paying jobs and contribute positively to the economy. This, in turn, reduces the income gap and promotes a more balanced and stable economic environment. Enhancing Workforce Competitiveness A competitive workforce is essential for a nation's economic stability. Education equips students with the competencies required to excel in the global job market. From critical thinking to problem-solving, the skills acquired through studying and completing assignments are invaluable. Furthermore, continuous learning and professional development ensure that the workforce remains competitive. Lifelong learning initiatives and adult education programs enable individuals to adapt to changing job market demands, thereby supporting long-term economic stability. The Role of Educational Institutions Schools as Community Pillars Schools are more than just places of learning; they are pillars of the community. They provide a structured environment for students to develop not only academically but also socially and emotionally. By fostering a sense of community, schools contribute to social stability, which is closely linked to economic stability. In addition, schools often serve as centers for community engagement and development. Through various programs and initiatives, they address local economic challenges and promote economic growth. For example, vocational training programs in high schools equip students with practical skills that are directly applicable to the local job market. Colleges as Innovation Hubs Colleges and universities are hotbeds of innovation and economic activity. They attract talented individuals from around the world, creating a melting pot of ideas and creativity. The research and development conducted in these institutions often lead to the commercialization of new technologies, spurring economic growth. Moreover, colleges play a significant role in fostering entrepreneurship. Many institutions offer programs and resources that support student startups, providing the foundation for new businesses that drive economic development. By encouraging entrepreneurial thinking, colleges help students transform their innovative ideas into viable economic ventures. Conclusion Education is undeniably a powerful catalyst for economic growth and stability. By developing human capital, driving innovation, reducing income inequality, and enhancing workforce competitiveness, education lays the foundation for a prosperous and stable economy. For students, understanding this relationship underscores the importance of their educational pursuits. Whether it's through completing assignments, engaging in learning activities, or seeking help from the best dissertation writing services, every effort contributes to their personal growth and, by extension, the economic well-being of society. In essence, investing in education is investing in the future. As students continue their academic journey, they are not only building their own future but also contributing to the economic stability and growth of their communities and nations.  

In the digital era, smartphones have evolved from mere communication devices to powerful tools enabling users to perform complex tasks on the go. This transformation has compelled businesses across industries to develop mobile applications to remain competitive and relevant in the market. One sector significantly impacted by this shift is finance.

This revolution in mobile finance is empowering individuals to engage in sophisticated financial activities using their smartphones.

Zing Coach, the Palta-backed health tech startup reducing growing rates of physical inactivity with its AI-powered fitness app, has today announced that it has raised a Series A funding round in equity and debt financing totalling $10 million led by Zubr Capital and Triple Point Capital. The capital will enable Zing Coach to continue to develop revolutionary new features for its market-leading AI-powered fitness app, expand its workforce, and enter new markets. Research shows that 54% of the global population do not meet the World Health Organisation's recommended levels of physical activity. With regular exercise proven to prevent health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, there is growing interest in embracing healthy lifestyles. Yet, it takes time to build new habits, and many people make drastic and immediate changes that they inevitably fail to stick to. Research shows 54% of people give up on their physical activity goals within six months. However, Zing Coach makes maintaining healthy lifestyle changes easier by providing hyper-personalised AI-powered workouts that constantly adjust based on a multitude of variables, such as historic performance data, real-time vital readings, activity levels, and health and lifestyle data, to find the right balance between progress and motivation.  This is achieved using a wealth of cutting-edge technology and diverse user data to provide a first-of-its-kind personal trainer. Unlike alternative fitness apps, Zing Coach doesn’t rely on quizzes to gauge users’ initial fitness and progress. ZingLab, a suite of advanced fitness tests and movement analyzers powered by computer vision, and body composition scanners comparable to professional DEXA scanners, are used to assess new users reliably and accurately. As users progress, they’re assisted at every stage of their fitness journey by their own AI Coach — which uses a large language model (LLM) and a personalised tone of voice based on the user’s emotional profile to form a connection with each user — designed to monitor their form and progress, offer tailored advice and insights, and offer praise and encouragement to keep them motivated.  While research shows 63% of fitness app users quit after just one day and 91% within 28 days, Zing Coach’s best-in-class AI-powered approach has proven to deliver far greater results. Data shows that users are 29% more likely to continue using Zing Coach after day one when compared to competitor apps, while users are 25% more likely to continue for a month or longer. Delivering an unrivalled personalised fitness experience, users have already completed over a million workouts in the app. By supporting users throughout the fitness journey, the app has amassed over one million downloads since its release in 2021, maintaining impressive month-over-month user growth of 25% — one of the many impressive metrics that attracted Zubr’s attention. “When the first iPhone was released 17 years ago, it marked the beginning of the mobile app era, and innovation in the space has continued to exceed expectations with each passing year. Today, with recent advancements in AI technology, apps have become pocket-sized assistants, offering personalised advice and feedback with human-like communication. Digital fitness, in particular, is a huge area of interest for consumers and we’re excited to support Zing Coach, a true leader in this space. We believe this investment will enable the company to grow tenfold in the years ahead and pull ahead of its competitors in the growing fitness app market,” — said Viktar Dzenisevich, Investment Director and Partner at Zubr Capital. The funding will enable Zing Coach to expand its growing team and strengthen its marketing efforts to reach new international markets. Likewise, it will continue to improve its new AI Coach, which educates and motivates by analysing individual training behaviour, text, audio, and videos to develop optimal workouts and motivation strategies tailored to each user. Tested in beta earlier this year, the AI Coach will be made available to all Zing Coach users this fall. Following its full launch, Zing plans to leverage its AI Coaching technology for other forms of exercise, such as pilates, yoga, and more. “We have experienced exponential growth in the past year, but the vast digital fitness coaching market remains largely untapped. We want to make leading a healthy lifestyle and achieving ambitious fitness goals attainable for all by providing highly personalised workout planning and guidance. Typically, this would cost hundreds of dollars for just a few hours with a personal trainer — with Zing, it costs less than a cup of coffee each week. From a user’s perspective, our inclusion of applied practice and coaching sets us apart from traditional fitness platforms. We’ve set the benchmark and this investment will ensure that we can maintain our lead in the market,” — said Tanya Parfenyuk, co-founder and CEO at Zing Coach. Focused on providing the ultimate personalised health and fitness experience, last year Zing Coach launched its Body Composition Scanner, which replaces the professional DEXA scanner with a smartphone, enabling anyone, anywhere, to scan their body and instantly receive important physical health insights. Committed to growth, the startup has gone from strength to strength in 2024, starting with its acquisition of Zenia — the market leader in real-time workout performance tracking and voice-guided assistance — in February. The company also recently launched the industry’s first AI-powered Flexibility Test and personalised stretching workouts to help its users improve their muscle flexibility safely and effectively. ABOUT ZING COACH Zing Coach is a fitness company, backed by health tech company Palta,  that applies leading AI technology to create the most advanced digital personal trainer, which assesses your fitness accurately, designs the ideal program for you to achieve any desired goals, tracks, motivates, supports, and becomes your guide in your transformative fitness journey.   ABOUT ZUBR CAPITAL Zubr Capital is a Cyprus-based technology-focused growth equity firm with more than $250 million under management and 20+ portfolio companies, including two unicorns. Among its investors are The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank, and Wargaming.

Anticipation is approaching an all-time high as iFX EXPO International begins. Taking place at Limassol’s City of Dreams Mediterranean Integrated Resort, between 18 - 20 June, the exhibition offers the perfect opportunity to network with global B2B and B2C financial and fintech industry professionals. Leading technology provider Solitics will be one of the prominent exhibitors at the online trading expo of the year. The team will be at booth no. 13, a strategic location that places Solitics in the spotlight.  Forex brokers, prop trading firms, banks, loan companies, and other financial institutions looking for a customer engagement and personalisation solution will benefit from attending iFX EXPO and meeting Solitics.   5 challenges that Solitics can help overcome With so many financial firms including brokers competing for the same target market it has become increasingly difficult to stand out from the crowd. The marketing landscape has also changed drastically in the past two decades, making it more challenging for FX brokers and prop firms to acquire and keep clients engaged at every stage of their journey. So, how can financial market players stand out, enhance the trading experience, and increase customer loyalty? This is where Solitics comes in. Developed by technology and data experts and customised to the needs of the financial sector, Solitics’ customer engagement solution is a perfect fit for brokers and prop firms in a variety of use cases:     Native multiple account management for increased personalisation While modern trading platforms inherently support multiple trading accounts per user, customer relationship management and marketing automation solutions are still lagging behind, especially when it comes to synchronising user-centric data across all the accounts registered under a single user profile. Unlike traditional marketing automation platforms, Solitics is built on a data-driven infrastructure that natively supports user-specific, real-time responsiveness across multiple accounts. This helps financial firms tremendously, unifying risk management for multi-account/portfolio users, empowering them to tailor offers based on client-specific parameters built around each client’s trading preferences and behaviours rather than their single-account activity. By partnering with Solitics financial organisations increase operational efficiency and gain the ability to orchestrate dynamic user journeys with automated, tailored, real-time messaging.    Real-time responsiveness for seamless and efficient trading The ability to respond quickly to market events and dynamics, changes in margin and portfolio risk level is paramount.  By enabling brokers to connect all data sources, ranging from price feeds, third-party content providers such as TipRanks, Trading Central, news portals, platform and account-related data, Solitics increases their ability to adapt and respond to market shifts as they occur. Whenever there is a change in volume, margin or portfolio risk level, or a relevant market event, including asset price changes, analyst perspectives, or a scheduled event, such as macroeconomic data releases (GDP, NFP, monetary policy decisions, etc.), Solitics enables brokers to set personalised, automatic triggers and send traders instant alerts, signalling the change.  These alerts can be triggered across multiple channels (e.g., trading platform, website pop-up, mobile push notification, SMS, etc.). Through hyperpersonalised communication that leverages real-time market data, brokers can deliver the much-added value to their clients much quicker. This not only fuels traders’ decision-making, but also helps brokers boost trust in their financial services and build deeper, more meaningful connections with their clients.   Gamification for increased trader engagement Flexible and versatile as it is, the platform allows for quick and easy customisation, enabling brokers to capitalise on user interaction with gamified widgets. One of Solitics’ hallmark features, these widgets are a form of motivational design that uses trader-specific data to generate an immersive yet gamified visualisation of top traded assets, up-to-date price changes, financial reports, and more. These gamification widgets introduce an element of excitement and engagement that transcends traditional means of displaying technical and fundamental factors impacting an asset’s performance, but rather incorporating storytelling elements into the user journey. Doing so, Solitics aids brokers in creating an enhanced and interactive trading experience for their clients. Boost visitor-to-lead conversion rates Most FX brokers seek to engage users from the very beginning, on the first page. This is, however, not always the case, leaving room for interpretation and doubt. While website design, copy and navigation play an important part in piquing traders’ interest, it takes more than that to convert them into loyal customers. Intriguing? Yes. Possible? Solitics makes it possible.  Mustering advanced customer data and behaviour analytics, Solitics allows brokers to craft onsite, real-time user journeys for their ‘anonymous’ website visitors and push them further down the funnel with personalised messaging, gamification and tailored offerings, boosting their marketing efforts significantly.   Increase customer loyalty and inspire action Retaining traders is as vital for a brokerage as it is acquiring them. The same applies to reactivating dormant clients. Solitics user-friendly UI with the ability to map out entire user journeys, ranging from simple conversion protocols to full-blown multichannel campaigns, is designed specifically for this.  With Solitics, FX marketers can easily and clearly segment their audience based on laser-focused customer-related data, including behavioural, historical, or trigger-based elements that help them push clients further down the funnel. Dynamic elements such as personalised and gamified widgets, as well as placeholders tailored to user preferences, can also be used to generate engagement and inspire action. Walking the extra mile from conversion and retention to optimisation, the customer engagement solution provides a comprehensive attribution of every client’s touchpoint, painting a clear picture of how clients reacted to the content delivered to them and pinpointing areas for improvement - all in real time. Does this sound like you? Want to see Solitics customer engagement platform in action? Pass by booth 13 and discover how you can turn challenges into opportunities with Solitics. Interested participants are encouraged to book a meeting in advance to ensure availability.

The quest by many cryptocurrencies to have a blast in the bull run is garnering momentum. While some tokens are on the verge of entering the bull market, many are still battling the downtrend. MultiversX (EGLD) is partnering with AshPerp trading exchange for seamless perpetual trading. However, Mina (MINA) faces an uncertain future as the token is still hovering in the bear trends. Meanwhile, Pullix (PLX), a highly rated decentralized cryptocurrency, is making waves after BitMart announced it will list the token very soon. Let's explore the three tokens and see their price forecasts ahead. Pullix (PLX) Continues Final Presale Stage As BitMart Announces Its Listing  With MultiversX gaining adoption and Mina facing an uncertain future, the Pullix platform's growth potential has been admired by the crypto market. Since the start of the presale, Pullix has shown a lot of potential and has been ranked as one of the best DeFi coins in the market. The PLX token is projected to continue witnessing a high adoption rate as a result of its uniqueness. Pullix is developing an extraordinary hybrid trading platform that integrates the best features of CeFI and DeFi. With the existing exchanges charging high transaction fees, the Pullix trade-to-earn platform offers zero commission on transactions, high liquidity, and security. Notably, Pullix is a non-custodial exchange that does not interfere with how Investors manage their assets.  Since the start of the presale, Pullix has gone from a $0.04 price value to $0.14, with early investors already getting over 250% ROI. The platform has raised over $8M in presale, with close to 20,000 people joining the presale. Notably, Pullix has sold more than 120M of its ERC20 token PLX, with the presale now in bonus stage. Due to this performance, Pullix has been listed on the popular crypto data aggregator website, CoinGecko. After listing on BitMart, the platform is also eyeing more tier 1 listings before launch. The platform has unveiled the profit share model which allows investors to earn a fixed daily percentage from the platform's daily revenue. As part of plans to stabilize the token, Pullix will redistribute the unpurchased tokens as platform rewards to users with the surplus token earmarked for burning at a later date. With a possibility of a 100x surge before the end of the year, Pullix is one of the best DeFi coins to purchase now.  MultiversX (EGLD) Partners with AshPerp For Perpetual Trading As part of an effort to become a mainstay in the DeFi landscape, MultiversX (EGLD) has announced perpetual trading features with AshPerp. The partnership will ensure that AshPerp provides on-chain trading of digital assets such as cryptocurrency, FX, and stocks on the MultiversX network. This means perpetual traders will be able to trade $BTC, $ETH, $EGLD, $SOL, and other tokens on MultiversX with up to 100x leverage. Also, investors can stake their assets in the Perp vault and enjoy a centralized trading experience. Meanwhile, the MultiversX price has increased by 8% in the past month, with analysts projecting more uptrends as the platform developments take effect.  Mina (MINA) Faces Uncertain Future Amidst Bullish and Bearish Call Mina (MINA) is experiencing extreme volatility as the token graduates between the bearish and the bullish sentiments. On the 30-day trading chart, the Mina token gained 19%, only for the gains to be reversed in the weekly charts in which the token price declined by 17%. Since the start of the year, the Mina price has hovered between $1.00 and $1.54, showcasing the extreme volatility of the token. However, with the Mina token price edging closer to the $1.40 resistance zone, a break out of this zone could stabilize the price in the coming weeks.     For more information regarding Pullix’s presale see links below: Visit Pullix  Join The Pullix Communities

  Conventional lending institutions see people with bad credit history as high risk. This results in increased chances of their applications getting rejected. This is where bad credit loans come in. They're specially designed for those with poor credit scores. Bad credit loans provide credit to those who have challenges getting loans elsewhere. The funds from these loans come in handy when dealing with emergencies and can be used on anything. Repaying these loans on time can help enhance your credit score, earning you lower interest rates, which translates to cheaper loans. Outlined below are four types of bad credit loans. 1. Cash advance loans Cash advance loans are a source of fast emergency cash. These short-term loans are paid back using a borrower's next paycheck. Cash advance loans have fast approval and disbursement procedures, and you can get funds almost immediately or the same day you submit your application. These loans are collateral-free, meaning you don't require any valuable assets to secure the loan. To be eligible for a cash advance loan, you must prove that you have a full-time or part-time job and the minimum salary your lender needs. Considering the many cash advance loan lenders available, finding a reliable one isn't easy. However, visiting trusted websites such as superbcashadvance.com can help you find cash advance lenders you can trust. 2. Car title loans Car title loans are a form of secured borrowing where you use your title as collateral to qualify. Unlike traditional bank loans that require good credit to be eligible, those with a bad credit score or no credit history can access vehicle title loans. These loans are usually no credit check loans. However, you must own the automobile outright. Car title loans are usually approved quickly, and you can get your money in a day or two, making them suitable for emergencies. A title loan provider assesses your vehicle's worth and offers you a percentage of it. Failure to repay your loan on time leads to the risk of losing your car. 3. Payday loans Payday loans are a form of short-term borrowing that users with bad credit or no credit history can leverage. Most of these loans don't have any collateral or credit score requirements. You don't need assets or a high credit score to qualify. Payday loans are easy to qualify for, and the application process is straightforward. Since these loans are available online, applications can be completed from anywhere, making them more convenient. The fact that no credit checks or comprehensive paperwork is involved results in fast approvals. To avoid falling prey to payday loan scams, research and read reviews on third-party sites to find the most reliable lenders. Recommendations from family members and friends can also find payday lenders you can trust. Since some providers charge exorbitant interest rates, comparing several lenders is key to landing the best deal. 4. Credit card cash advance Credit card cash advance loans are short-term borrowings offered by credit card issuers. They offer cash advances to existing clients. Besides having high approval rates and fast funding, credit card cash advances are accessible to people with bad credit. These loans need no collateral and provide immediate liquidity, making them ideal for financial emergencies. Endnote Bad credit loans are a lifesaver for people with poor credit scores or no credit history. Consider familiarizing yourself with the various types of bad credit loans you can leverage.

Navigate through trading prestigious instruments like Commodities and Indices on the well-established MT5 platform, setting a course for excellence with FXDD. Passionate about Commodities and Indices Trading? With an impressive heritage spanning two decades, FXDD stands as a distinguished financial force, renowned for its expertise in the domain of online trading. FXDD empowers traders worldwide, providing access not just to prominent indices such as S&P 500 and Dow Jones, along with valuable commodities like Gold and Oil, but also granting the chance to mould the very narrative of their trading venture. Over the course of several decades, trading commodities and indices have surged in popularity, captivating a diverse range of traders, from seasoned professionals to those just embarking on their trading journey. The allure of these markets lies in their long history, ever-changing demand and supply circumstances leading to the possibilities for returns on price shifts. Commodities like gold, oil, and natural gas, as well as indices such as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average, are hotspots for traders seeking opportunities in long-term, medium-term and short-term investments. With FXDD, traders can immerse themselves in the possibilities presented by the daily fluctuations in supply, demand, and prices within the commodities and indices markets. Whether the interest is in trading gold, oil, or major global indices like the S&P 500, the FXDD available platforms include MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and come complete with the expert tools and resources to make informed trading decisions.  Looking to raise the bar of your trading ambitions?  With its sophisticated graphical charting tools, an array of pending orders, and an insightful strategy tester, MT5 emerges as a versatile multi-asset platform, propelling ETF trading to uncharted peaks, all under the power of FXDD. Streamlined access to the markets For those who prefer to trade directly in their web browser, FXDD WebTrader offers 67 Forex pairs, 13 Indices, 7 Metals, 4 Energies and 20 of the most widely traded Stocks. Keeping in mind how quickly the markets change and how traders demand convenience at their fingertips, FXDD Mobile features Expert Advisors Signals and instant execution of market orders.  Gold and other precious metals One of the most widely traded commodities, both physically and as the underlying asset for derivative contracts, is gold. Gold has long been considered a safe-haven asset, attracting investors during times of economic uncertainty. Its value is influenced by various factors, including global economic conditions, inflation, and geopolitical events. Trading gold is seen as a long-term and short-term way for traders to make possible returns from price fluctuations, whether it's buying low and selling high or shorting the market when prices are expected to decline, amongst other strategies. Crude oil and energies Another sought-after commodity in the trading markets is crude oil, sometimes referred to as black gold. As a globally traded commodity, oil prices are influenced by supply-and-demand dynamics, geopolitical tensions, and factors such as economic cycles and changes in environmental protection laws. Trading oil can mean returns on investment but this market is also volatile due to its sensitivity to market news and events. Traders might take both long and short positions, depending on their analysis of the market. Other energies like natural gas are commodities that attract traders' attention and analysis. These commodities are primarily used for heating and electricity generation, making them sensitive to weather patterns and energy demand. Trading natural gas requires a careful analysis of supply and demand factors, as well as weather forecasts. Traders can take positions on short-term price movements and longer-term trends, amongst other approaches. CFDs on indices In addition to commodities, trading Contracts for Differences (CFDs) on indices is gaining more traction in the online trading markets which up until not so long ago were traditionally the domain of currency traders. Some of the most commonly traded indices are the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), for example. These indices represent a basket of stocks that reflect the overall performance of the respective markets. The S&P 500, often referred to as SPX500, includes 500 large-cap US companies from various sectors and is viewed as a key benchmark for the overall health of the American stock market. Traders speculate on the direction of the index by taking long or short positions, depending on their analysis of the underlying stocks and other market trends.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average, also known as DJ30, consists of 30 major US companies across various industries. It is one of the oldest and most widely followed indices in the world. Trading DJ30 means taking a position on the overall performance of these blue-chip stocks based on a wide and diverse range of sectors. Trade with a pioneering firm The landscape of trading commodities, indices, and foreign exchange (FX) has undergone significant expansion since FXDD's initiation of trading services in 2002. The amalgamation of user-friendly online trading platforms and technological advancements has remarkably democratized participation in these markets. FXDD, a trailblazer in this industry, acknowledges the surging popularity of trading commodities, indices, and FX. The company extends a comprehensive platform, encompassing a thoughtfully curated array of tradable instruments. This selection includes sought-after commodities like gold and oil, along with prominent indices such as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average.

In the intricate tapestry of personal finance, there are moments when securing a loan becomes not just a financial transaction but a strategic move. While the idea of borrowing money may raise eyebrows for some, there are situations where a loan can be your best ally, offering a lifeline during challenging times. Let's delve into these scenarios and explore the ways loans can be a prudent financial choice. 1. Emergency Expenses and the Need for Quick Funds The course of life is uncertain, and unforeseen emergencies are expected. Whether facing an abrupt medical bill, a car breakdown, or home repairs, the urgency for immediate funds becomes paramount. In such cases, loans in minutes take center stage. Modern lending platforms and financial institutions have streamlined processes, allowing individuals to secure loans swiftly. This can make a significant difference in addressing urgent financial needs. 2. Capitalizing on Investment Opportunities In the realm of investments, timing is often key to success. There are instances when a promising investment opportunity arises, but the window for capitalizing on it is limited. In these situations, obtaining a loan to seize the moment can be a strategic move. Whether it's a real estate deal, a business venture, or a stock market opportunity, having access to quick financing can open doors that might otherwise remain closed. 3. Consolidating High-Interest Debt Managing multiple debts with varying interest rates can be challenging and financially draining. If you find yourself juggling credit card bills, personal loans, and other high-interest debts, consolidating them into a single, lower-interest loan can provide relief. This can simplify your financial obligations and reduce the overall interest burden, making it easier to regain control of your financial situation. 4. Bridging the Income Gap During Unemployment Unforeseen circumstances, such as job loss or career transitions, can lead to temporary income gaps. During these challenging periods, a well-considered loan can act as a bridge, helping you cover essential expenses until you secure a new source of income. It serves as a short-term solution to prevent financial strain and maintain stability during times of uncertainty. 5. Pursuing Educational Aspirations Investing in education is an investment in oneself. Whether you're considering further studies, professional certifications, or skill development courses, the cost of education can be a barrier. Taking out a loan to fund your educational aspirations can be wise, especially if it enhances your skills, opens new career opportunities, or increases your earning potential in the long run. 6. Home Renovation Projects Owning a home comes with the need for periodic maintenance and renovations. These projects enhance the quality of living and contribute to the property's value. When you’re low on cash, securing a loan for home renovations can be a strategic choice, as it allows you to make improvements that will pay off in the long term, both in terms of comfort and potential resale value. In conclusion, while the idea of loans may be associated with caution, there are circumstances where they become invaluable tools for navigating life's financial challenges. Whether it's responding to emergencies, seizing investment opportunities, or pursuing personal development, a well-managed loan can be a reliable ally. Remember, the key lies in thoughtful consideration, responsible borrowing, and aligning your financial decisions with your long-term goals.

UNI's Decentralised Frontier Uniswap, with its decentralised exchange model, revolutionised the way we think about trading cryptocurrencies. The automated market maker (AMM) protocol empowered users with unprecedented access to a wide array of tokens. Yet, as the crypto landscape evolves, GameStop Memes steps onto the stage, adding a new dimension to decentralised finance. Uniswap's impact lies in its technological innovation; GSM's lies in its cultural innovation. The GameStop Memes project embraces community engagement and the power of internet culture, creating not just a decentralised financial ecosystem but a vibrant community around it. It's a shift from a purely technological narrative to one that incorporates the human element. The Unconventional Journey of Dogecoin Dogecoin, born from a meme, skyrocketed to fame as the "fun and friendly" cryptocurrency. Its community-driven approach and viral appeal set a precedent for how cryptocurrencies could capture the public's imagination. However, the winds of change blow strong, and GameStop Memes is riding a new wave. While DOGE made waves with its cultural impact, GSM takes it a step further. The GameStop Memes project leverages the power of memes not just for virality but as a driving force behind its presale coin model. GSM invites investors to not just be spectators but active participants in a cultural and financial revolution. GameStop Memes - The Crypto Presale King As we witness the unfolding dynamics of the crypto market, GameStop Memes emerges as a game-changer, not just in trends but in the way cryptocurrencies are launched. Operating as a presale coin, GSM presents investors with a unique opportunity to get in on a project that blends financial potential with cultural resonance. Become a part of the GSM presale now, and not only witness the change but actively contribute to it. It's more than a financial investment; it's an investment in a movement that reshapes the narrative of crypto. As GameStop Memes reshapes the presale coin landscape, it isn't merely presenting an alternative investment opportunity; it's offering a chance to be part of a movement that combines financial innovation with cultural resonance. Investing in GSM transcends the traditional notion of supporting a cryptocurrency; its active participation in shaping the future of decentralized finance is guided by the shared values and contributions of its vibrant community. In essence, GameStop Memes is not just a digital asset; it's a collaborative endeavor, inviting enthusiasts to join hands and contribute to a groundbreaking chapter in the evolving story of cryptocurrency. Change is inevitable, and in the crypto landscape of 2023, GameStop Memes stands as a beacon of innovation.

Navigating through the blockchain landscape, three names stand out for their unique impact on the market: Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Euler Network (EUL). While Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) have captured the imagination of investors with their meme-inspired origins and community-driven appeal, Euler Network (EUL) has recently sent shockwaves through the crypto space with a staggering $3 million fundraising feat in just 24 hours. This article explores the individual strengths of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu and how Euler Network's recent success is reshaping the digital finance landscape. Dogecoin: The Pioneer Meme Coin Dogecoin, the pioneer meme coin, has etched its name in the annals of cryptocurrency history. Originating as a playful alternative to more traditional cryptocurrencies, it quickly evolved into a digital asset backed by a strong, vibrant community. Dogecoin's appeal lies not just in its humorous inception but also in its simplicity and accessibility, making it a favourite among both novice and seasoned investors. Its ability to rally a global community around the ethos of fun and inclusivity remains unmatched in the crypto world. Shiba Inu: Eyeing the Meme Coin Throne Shiba Inu emerged as a direct challenger to Dogecoin's meme coin throne. Inspired by the same Shiba Inu dog breed, it has garnered a dedicated following, driving its value and market presence. Despite its similarities to Dogecoin, Shiba Inu offers a slightly different proposition, with plans to expand its ecosystem to include NFTs and decentralized finance applications. However, when placed alongside the technological prowess and market impact of Euler Network (EUL), Shiba Inu's position in the crypto hierarchy is put into perspective. Euler Network's advanced capabilities and recent fundraising success position it as a formidable force in the evolving world of cryptocurrencies. Euler Network: A Leader in the Making Euler Network (EUL) has burst onto the crypto scene with an undeniable impact, marked by its $3 million fundraising achievement within a mere 24 hours. This feat not only highlights the platform's appeal but also its potential to revolutionize digital finance. Unlike Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, Euler Network (EUL) focuses on integrating advanced financial tools and fostering a comprehensive digital ecosystem. Its emphasis on innovation, security, and scalability positions it as a leading force in shaping the future of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Euler Network’s Vision for the Future  Euler Network's (EUL) vision extends far beyond traditional cryptocurrency paradigms. Its approach to blockchain technology encompasses a blend of user-centric design, cutting-edge security measures, and a commitment to continuous innovation. This approach sets Euler Network (EUL) apart from meme-centric currencies like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, positioning it not just as a digital asset but as a pioneer in the crypto industry. With its sights set on redefining the standards of digital finance, Euler Network (EUL) is poised to lead the charge in the next wave of cryptocurrency evolution.   The contrasting journeys of Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Euler Network (EUL) reflect the diverse and dynamic nature of the cryptocurrency market. While Dogecoin and Shiba Inu continue to thrive on community support and meme-culture appeal, Euler Network (EUL) is forging a new path with its innovative approach and remarkable market performance. The crypto world is on the brink of a transformation, with Euler Network (EUL) at the helm, steering the industry towards a future where technology, community, and innovation converge to create unprecedented opportunities in the realm of digital finance.     Elevate Your Crypto Game 24/7 with Euler Network!

In a recent move, crypto analysts conducted an in-depth analysis of VC Spectra (SPCT), Polkadot (DOT), and Arbitrum (ARB) to determine what the future holds for these top altcoins. This in-depth analysis will serve as a pointer for investors looking to position themselves as opportunities arise for maximum gains. Let’s explore what is in store for these top crypto coins. >>BUY SPCT TOKENS NOW<< Summary: Analysts believe VC Spectra will surpass its target presale price due to the massive rate of SPCT adoption. Experts held a bullish stance in their Polkadot price prediction, expecting DOT to reach $10.   Arbitrum welcomes Ethereum layer-2 network Kinto aboard, leading experts to pronounce bullishness on ARB. VC Spectra Price Prediction: Future Price Of SPCT VC Spectra (SPCT) is a new DeFi project that has taken the financial world by storm. It seeks to proffer an avenue for the average investor to generate maximum returns from minimum capital with little to no risk. VC Spectra enables users to benefit from the potential buoyancy of blockchain projects by unlocking access to new ICOs. VC Spectra leads the DeFi landscape as a decentralized hedge fund and an investment vehicle. The platform rewards SPCT holders with quarterly dividends and buybacks. Users also get to participate in activities in the VC Spectra ecosystem through the voting rights they are awarded. The native token of VC Spectra, SPCT, is now trading for $0.077 in the fifth stage of its public presale. This price level indicates early adopters of SPCT have scooped 862.5% of the projected 900% growth for this phase. Experts, however, posit that VC Spectra (SPCT) will surpass the 900% projection. >>BUY SPCT TOKENS NOW<< Experts Say Polkadot (DOT) Could Hit $10 Different analysts have forecasted levels Polkadot (DOT) could attain in posterity. While the figure varies, the popular opinion remains that the future is bullish for Polkadot (DOT). One of the entities that gave a Polkadot price prediction is Rekt Capital. Rekt Capital first alluded to the price situation of Polkadot (DOT), reflecting on the October downside reversal. According to Rekt Capital, the four bullish candles that followed in November indicate that DOT is bullish and will remain bullish in December. In his Polkadot price prediction, Crypto Tony, another commentator, noted that DOT has a short-term bullish outlook. He asserted that overcoming resistance at the $5.50 region will see DOT rallying to $10. Polkadot is exchanging hands at $5.16, dropping 4.80% from $5.43 to $5.16 between November 20 and November 22. Based on Crypto Tony’s Polkadot price forecast, DOT requires a 93.79% increase to hit the predicted level. Kinto Onboard Arbitrum Kinto, Ethereum’s Layer 2 solution, has transitioned to the Arbitrum ecosystem utilizing the Arbitrum Nitro technology stack. This move comes after launching its testnet with Optimism’s OP Stack in May. Kinto announced this strategic move on November 22 via its official website. Changes in the Arbitrum ecosystem structure brought about this migration. The idea was to enable the Arbitrum Foundation to manage layer-2 deployment independently. Kinto seeks to serve as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized finance. In response, Arbitrum (ARB) continued declining from the previous week. ARB decreased from $1.15 to $1.04 between November 13 and November 19, marking a 9.51% decrease in the Arbitrum price. Based on ARB’s outlook, experts shared their Arbitrum price prediction. They expect ARB to fall below the $1 threshold in the coming days as sellers continue to offload. This ARB projection will see the Arbitrum price drop by 1.2% from the current price of $1.02.     Learn more about the VC Spectra presale here: Presale: https://invest.vcspectra.io/login Website: https://vcspectra.io  Telegram: https://t.me/VCSpectra Twitter: https://twitter.com/spectravcfund           

The world of foreign exchange, more commonly known as Forex, is a dynamic and intricate marketplace where currencies are traded globally. At the helm of this vast financial ecosystem are Forex brokers, playing a pivotal role in facilitating transactions and providing a gateway for traders to navigate the turbulent waters of the currency market. Understanding the Forex Broker: A Key Player in the Market A Forex broker acts as an intermediary between retail traders and the interbank forex market. Essentially, they link buyers with sellers and vice versa, executing trades on behalf of their clients. While the concept may seem straightforward, the significance of a Forex broker in the trading process cannot be overstated.   The Forex Broker's Functionality: More Than Just a Middleman 1. Execution of Trades One of the primary functions of a Forex broker is to execute trades swiftly and efficiently. With the click of a button, traders can buy or sell currency pairs, capitalizing on market fluctuations. The efficiency of this process relies heavily on the broker's technological infrastructure. 2. Market Analysis and Research Tools To navigate the intricate Forex market successfully, traders rely on accurate and up-to-date information. Forex brokers often provide a suite of tools and resources, including real-time charts, technical analysis, and market research, enabling traders to make informed decisions. 3. Leverage and Margin Facilities Forex trading often involves leveraging, allowing traders to control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital. Brokers provide leverage, but it's essential for traders to use it judiciously, as it amplifies both potential gains and losses. 4. Risk Management Services Managing risk is a critical aspect of Forex trading. Experienced brokers offer risk management tools such as stop-loss orders to help traders limit potential losses and protect their capital.     Selecting the Right Broker: Navigating the List of Forex Brokers Given the crucial role Forex brokers play, selecting the right one is paramount for traders. The internet is flooded with a myriad of options, making the process seem overwhelming. To streamline this decision-making, traders often refer to a list of Forex brokers – a comprehensive directory that outlines the key features and offerings of various brokers. Considerations When Choosing a Forex Broker: Regulation and Compliance: Ensure the broker is regulated by a reputable financial authority, enhancing trust and security. Trading Platform: Assess the broker's trading platform for user-friendliness, stability, and the availability of essential tools. Transaction Costs: Evaluate the broker's fee structure, including spreads, commissions, and overnight financing costs. Customer Support: Responsive customer support is invaluable. Test their responsiveness before committing to a broker. Educational Resources: A good broker provides educational resources to empower traders with knowledge.   Conclusion: Sailing Smoothly with the Right Forex Broker In the vast sea of Forex trading, a reliable broker acts as a compass, guiding traders through the complexities and helping them navigate market trends. The importance of due diligence when selecting a broker cannot be emphasized enough. By referring to a well-researched "list of Forex brokers" and considering the key factors mentioned, traders can set sail confidently into the world of Forex, armed with the support they need to navigate and succeed in this dynamic market.

  Cards that can be used in Poland. The cards grant access to buying clothes, travel passes, and much more in popular shops and platforms as Ticketmaster and Primark. The gift cards are available for purchase with cryptocurrency by WhiteBIT users. Gift Cards are designed for purchasing goods from stores and popular services and, in the era of endless shopping possibilities, have proven to be an excellent gift for any occasion.   WhiteBIT caught the attention of its users by adding a possibility to buy Digital Gift Cards right on the platform with cryptocurrency. Thus, any signed up and verified user who activated 2FA on the platform can buy the selection of cards in the app or on the web version of the exchange and it with available digital assets. Now, WhiteBIT users from Poland can buy Digital Gift Cards with cryptocurrency to acquire goods and services from brands like Ticketmaster and Primark. Convenient fiat depositing is worth mentioning here, as Polish users can easily deposit Zloty to the exchange and buy crypto for it or exchange it for the available digital currency. For example, WhiteBIT users can buy a Gift Card for Primark with a maximum amount of 750 Polish Zloty, and 1250 Zloty for Ticketmaster. WhiteBIT users who have already completed identity verification on the platform and activated two-factor authentication can explore the convenience of a card in the WhiteBIT mobile application.

Pay for the Gift Card with cryptocurrency directly from the main balance on the exchange.   This type of gift card shows advantages over physical cards due to the instant access to them, the convenience of purchase, and the ability to send them in a link to anyone. Another advantage is that even though the choice of cards on WhiteBIT depends on the user’s location when it comes to using the card, purchasing is available from anywhere in the world. Moreover, one can use the card in both online and offline shops and services. This nuance is one of the many that make Digital Gift Cards an attractive gift option.

Investing is an essential part of securing your financial future, and the first step to creating a sound investment portfolio is educating yourself on the different types of investments available. Commodities can be an excellent option for those who want to diversify their investment strategies beyond stocks and bonds. Commodities are often seen as risky investments due to their high volatility. Yet, if you're willing to take the time to understand how they work and develop some strategies for trading them long-term, they can be advantageous additions to any portfolio. Here, we will discuss how beginners can start investing in commodities and help create a successful portfolio with minimal risk involved.   Understand the different types of commodities available for investment  Investing in commodities can be an attractive financial opportunity for those looking to diversify their investment portfolio or hedge against inflation. Many commodities include precious metals, energy sources like crude oil and natural gas, and agricultural products such as wheat, corn and soybeans. Each commodity has its unique market dynamics, which supply and demand, geopolitical tensions, and weather conditions can affect it.     Understanding the different types of commodities available for investment can help investors make informed decisions about where to allocate their money, depending on their goals and risk tolerance. With the proper knowledge and approach, commodity investing can be valuable to an individual's investment strategy. Learn more here about the different commodities available for investment.     Research current market trends and the supply/demand dynamics of commodities  Before investing in commodities, it is essential to research and analyse the current market trends and supply/demand dynamics of the specific commodities you are interested in. It can involve keeping up-to-date with global news, geopolitical events, and economic indicators that could impact commodity prices.    It is also essential to understand how supply and demand affect commodity prices. For example, if there is an increase in demand for a particular commodity but a decrease in supply, the cost of that commodity will likely go up. Conducting thorough research and staying informed can help investors make well-informed decisions when investing in commodities.    Learn about the risks associated with investing in commodities and how to manage them  Investing in commodities comes with its fair share of risks, and beginners must understand them before diving into the market. One common risk associated with commodity investing is volatility. Commodities are known for their volatile nature, and prices can fluctuate significantly in a short amount of time.    Another risk is the influence of external factors such as weather conditions, geopolitical tensions, and economic policies. These factors can impact the supply and demand dynamics of commodities and, in turn, affect their prices.    To manage these risks, beginners should consider diversifying their investments across different types of commodities to minimise their exposure to a single commodity's price fluctuations. Additionally, conducting thorough research and staying informed about market trends can help mitigate risks associated with commodity investing.    Determine an investment strategy that fits your budget and risk tolerance  Once you understand the different types of commodities, market trends, and risks associated with investing in commodities, the next step is to determine an investment strategy that fits your budget and risk tolerance. It is important to remember that commodity investing should only be considered part of a well-diversified portfolio and not the sole focus of an investment strategy. Consider the amount of capital you are willing to invest and your risk tolerance before deciding on a method.     Some common strategies for commodity investing include buying physical commodities such as gold or silver, trading futures contracts, or investing in commodity ETFs (exchange-traded funds). It is also essential to regularly review and adjust your investment strategy as needed.    Choose a reliable broker to execute trades on your behalf  To invest in commodities, you must use a broker to execute trades on your behalf. Choosing a reliable and reputable broker with experience in commodity trading is crucial. Look for brokers that offer competitive fees, have a user-friendly trading platform, and provide access to various types of commodities.    It is also essential to do your due diligence and research the broker before deciding. Reading reviews and seeking recommendations from experienced commodity investors can also help you choose the right broker for your investment needs.    Open an account and begin trading commodities  Once you have chosen a reliable broker, the next step is opening an account and trading commodities. Most brokers will require you to fill out an application and provide identification documents before opening an account. Some brokers may also need a minimum deposit amount to start trading.    Before making any trades, it is essential to thoroughly understand the trading platform and any associated fees or charges. Start with small investments and gradually increase your exposure to commodities as you gain experience and confidence in the market.  //

Cryptocurrency exchanges operate like brokerage accounts. You create an account, fund it, and trade cryptos. Exchanges make it easier to buy and sell virtual currencies. Your crypto investing success significantly depends on the exchange you choose. Knowing the features to look for in your preferred crypto exchange is key to helping you find the right platform for your investment. Discussed below is how to choose a crypto exchange.   Consider fiat currency support   Fiat currency support is a significant factor when looking for a crypto exchange, particularly if you're a newbie in the cryptocurrency market. Such exchanges are known as fiat-to-crypto exchanges. They allow investors/ traders to convert traditional currencies, like EUR and USD, into digital coins, such as Litecoin and Bitcoin. Such exchanges serve as intermediaries that facilitate the conversion of fiat currency into crypto and the exchange of crypto into fiat money. When you use an exchange that supports fiat currency, you can buy or sell crypto depending on the market conditions and exchange rates. If you intend to trade cryptos like Bitcoin using dollars, compare several crypto exchanges' BTC to USD exchange rates to select the platform offering the best rates.   Prioritize security   While cryptocurrency’s blockchain technology's complex nature makes it hard to hack, additional security measures are required to safeguard user data and ascertain user safety from possible threats posed by malicious users/ hackers. To find a secure crypto exchange, look for security measures like: KYC protocol: This ensures that only legit users can access crypto platforms, averting illicit activities like money laundering Cold storage: It keeps funds in a wallet that isn't internet-connected to ensure cybercriminals don't access user assets Encryption: This security measure protects customer communications and data from unauthorized access Multi-signature authentication: It’s a system that needs two or more financial transaction and account access keys, with one held by the user and the other retained by the exchange   Compare trading fees   Trading fees, including funding, gas, deposit and withdrawal, copy trading fees, and more, are inherent in crypto exchanges. They’re charged by exchanges when users trade crypto, complete transactions, or invest in cryptocurrency-related financial instruments. Based on the service, exchanges charge varying fees. As an active trader, observing crypto trading fees closely is important because they can quickly crash your profitable crypto strategy. Choose an exchange with the lowest trading fees to ensure a high return on investment.   Ensure sufficient liquidity   Liquidity’s presence makes the cryptocurrency market more stable and safeguards crypto exchanges and traders from price swing effects. Sufficient liquidity ensures equitable, fair pricing for each market participant. A majority number of sellers and buyers account for reasonable pricing. A high liquidity level is a sign of a high number of traders, meaning purchase orders and sell orders are filled faster than in an exchange with low liquidity levels. This results in an increased trading pace, contributing to a better user experience. In addition, high liquidity comes in handy. Low liquidity aggravates volatility, raising the risk of price falls and rises.   Look at the crypto choices   Thousands of crypto types are available in the market, and no one exchange can provide all of them. Most crypto platforms will likely offer the most popular coins and a few less popular ones. Settle for an exchange that provides the most types of coins, including the ones you’re interested in. Endnote Selecting the right crypto platform is essential for successful investing. Implement these tips to find the best crypto exchange.

Explore the alluring realm of cryptocurrency ICOs as we dive deep into the top 5 projects poised to ignite your investment portfolio in the upcoming year. Crypto presale projects are often some of the highest gainers — as well as some of the best crypto presales of 2023, this list also includes an already-popular project that is launching a brand-new cryptocurrency for its ecosystem.   List of the best crypto ICOs to buy in 2023 Investors seeking to uncover the best crypto ICOs to buy right now should look no further than this list. Each of the following projects provides a unique opportunity to get involved in a high-potential movement during the earliest stages of development. With that in mind, here are the 5 best crypto ICOs to buy right now: Shiba Memu (SHMU) Chancer (CHANCER) AltSignals (ASI) Metacade (MCADE) Polygon (POL) 1. Shiba Memu (SHMU) — An AI-powered meme coin that looks ready to soar Shiba Memu is a next-generation meme coin. It combines the fun-loving community of legacy meme coins with cutting-edge artificial intelligence capabilities, using an automated marketing protocol that continually promotes the project across social channels.   Since meme coins exclusively rely on their ability to gain virality online, Shiba Memu is believed to have vast potential in the crypto sphere. It uses natural language processing (NLP) to accurately analyze market sentiment and current crypto trends, providing intelligent marketing campaigns that drive the adoption of its native token, SHMU.   Shiba Memu will also have a dedicated AI dashboard, enabling tracking of its latest marketing campaigns. Furthermore, SHMU holders themselves can richly interact with Shiba Memu via a ChatGPT-style interface, giving the token solid utility within its ecosystem. Why buy SHMU? Shiba Memu could grow exponentially, thanks to its automated marketing campaigns. As these campaigns are powered using machine learning, they even enable Shiba Memu to continually improve its effectiveness.   Not only that, but SHMU’s features make it one of the few meme coins on the market with real utility in Web3. The token has raised $2.9m so far during the new cryptocurrency presale, and its ICO momentum is now accelerating as the project approaches its first exchange listing with Bitmart.     >>> You can find more information, including how to buy SHMU, here <<<     2. Chancer (CHANCER) — Unlimited betting markets and the best odds in the online betting industry Chancer is fast becoming one of the most sought-after investment opportunities in the world of Web3 after raising $2m during the early stages of its crypto presale. The new project, providing unlimited betting opportunities via customizable bets, is predicted to be highly disruptive to the online betting industry.   Chancer’s new ICO listing has made the native token available at the current price of $0.011. This value will rise to $0.021 over the course of the event, offering a unique chance to buy into a high-potential crypto project during its earliest phases of development.   Bettors can place custom bets on any real-world outcome while using Chancer. It enables full betting freedom with odds chosen by users, making it a truly unique offering. Wagers can be placed on anything, from simple social bets all the way to global events. The possibilities with Chancer are awe-inspiring, making it one of the best crypto presales to buy in 2023. Why buy CHANCER? The native CHANCER token is available at discounted prices during the initial coin offering. Experts have suggested that CHANCER could rise by more than 50x over the coming months and years, meaning the ongoing presale opportunity could be one of the most lucrative investments around.   >>> You can find more information, including how to buy CHANCER, here <<<     3. AltSignals (ASI) — Industry-grade trading tools that deliver consistent crypto market profits AltSignals is an online trading platform that first launched back in 2017. Since then, it has become a standout leader in trading signals, helping traders across crypto markets to make consistent profits regardless of market conditions.   The project is developing a cutting-edge artificial intelligence trading tool called ActualizeAI, which is expected to boost the accuracy and frequency of trading signals shared with its users. It leverages NLP and machine learning to deliver highly accurate trading strategies, using technology typically only available to institutional investors. Why buy ASI? AltSignals’ native token, ASI, has been made available at a reduced rate during its new ICO. The token enables access to ActualizeAI and a range of benefits within the AltSignals ecosystem. ActualizeAI itself could be one of the most lucrative use cases for artificial intelligence, and is expected to revolutionize crypto trading for retail investors.   >>> You can find more information, including how to buy ASI, here <<<     4. Metacade (MCADE) — A broad metaverse arcade that hosted one of the best performing presales of 2023 Metacade is a comprehensive GameFi platform that launched its crypto ICO earlier in 2023. The MCADE token presale raised a whopping $16.4 million across 8 investment rounds, making it one of the most popular crypto presales of the year so far.   Since then, MCADE has gone from strength to strength. The token was listed on Bitmart and Uniswap in May, before posting gains in excess of 200%. The Metacade platform is now home to a growing number of play-to-earn arcade games, with each one providing integrated token rewards for its players. Why buy MCADE? MCADE, although no longer offered at the discounted prices found during its crypto ICO, remains one of the most exciting new token releases of the year. The project offers a range of earning mechanics that go beyond its metaverse arcade, delivering social environments that can connect Web3 gamers together like never before. It’s maturing from one of the best crypto ICOs to watch out for over the coming months and years.   >>> You can find more information, including how to buy MCADE, here <<<     5. Polygon (POL) — A new native token for the Polygon network Polygon, the market-leading scalability solution for the Ethereum ecosystem, recently announced that it is migrating all Polygon protocols to zero-knowledge technology. Part of the Polygon 2.0 upgrade will involve the launch of a new native token called POL, which will be used to pay validator rewards and can be used to pay gas fees on the network.   POL’s utility means that it will essentially replace the MATIC token within the Polygon ecosystem. There has been little information shared about the launch of the POL token beyond this, but speculators have noted that it could be a high potential investment opportunity during its early stages. Why buy POL? With no official ICO date set, POL does not qualify as one of the best ICO cryptocurrencies to buy right now. However, it is still a high-potential new token release, and investors could do extremely well by purchasing the token after its initial launch.   Whether MATIC holders will be able to exchange for POL remains to be seen, but without a doubt, POL could be one of the highest performing new token releases of the year. It will revolutionize the Polygon ecosystem, and has been described as a “third generation token” by the project itself.   Conclusion — What is the best crypto ICO to buy? It’s difficult to choose just one crypto ICO from this list, as each project covered offers immense potential for future growth. Investors looking to buy the best crypto ICO would do well by spreading out their investment across all 5 options, building a diverse portfolio of high-potential crypto projects during their early stages. However, a definitive list of the best crypto ICOs to buy right now is as follows: Shiba Memu (SHMU) Chancer (CHANCER) AltSignals (ASI)   Each of these three projects offers a unique set of features that truly make them stand apart in the world of Web3, and even beyond. They use cutting-edge technologies to improve upon the user experience for highly sought-after pastimes, whether it’s Shiba Memu’s ChatGPT-style dashboard, Chancer’s fully customizable bet slips, or AltSignals’ highly accurate trading signals, these three projects look primed to explode.  

The ECB meeting on Thursday is not likely to be as straightforward as many have seemed over the last year. Even before we get to the new economic forecasts and what that means for monetary policy over the remainder of the year, there isn’t much of a consensus in the markets around what the decision on interest rates will be tomorrow. Markets are pricing in a little more than a 60% chance of another rate hike – probably the final one – and almost a 40% chance of a pause, with around a 70% chance that one will still follow at one of the upcoming meetings.   ECB Interest Rate Probability     How are markets positioned? Obviously, with every currency pair, both components have to be taken into consideration but it’s interesting that EURUSD slipped below the 200/233-day simple moving average band a couple of weeks ago and has neither recovered or accelerated lower.   EURUSD Daily Source – OANDA on Trading View   Perhaps this is a result of some apprehension ahead of the ECB meeting – and today’s US inflation report which triggered some initial volatility but didn’t ultimately swing the pair one way or another – or some slightly dovish positioning in case the ECB opts for its first pause? That should become clearer tomorrow but with the pair already seeing some resistance around the prior lows – 1.0765 – a dovish outcome could see the pair accelerate lower. A significant move (initial volatility can produce big swings that don’t turn out to be significant) below 1.07 and the most recent lows would be very interesting and may suggest that dovish, and bearish, outcome has occurred.    

The latest labour market statistical release from the ONS showed: • The ILO unemployment rate rising to 4.3% from 4.2% previously • Employment falling by 207k 3m/3m • Private sector regular pay growth at 8.1% 3m/yr from 8.2% 3m/yr   The latest UK labour market data showed the recent loosening of the labour market continuing. In terms of volumes, the release was very much in line with expectations. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3% from 4.2% previously with employment falling by 207k 3m/3m (cons 195k). The one shift from recent trends was that the inactivity rate rose slightly, by 0.1ppts to 21.1% mainly due to a sharp rise in inactivity amongst younger (aged 16-24) cohorts and students. That may be a result of summer holidays and likely to reverse in coming months. Inactivity linked to long-term sickness rose again, however, with the overall post-pandemic increase in inactivity still concentrated amongst older cohorts. The number of vacancies fell again, dropping below 1m (to 989k) for the first time in two years and down from a peak of fall 1.3m in the spring of 2022. The number of payrolled employees (based on HMRC tax data which leads the ILO data by one month) is estimated to have fallen by 1k in August after a fall of 3.5k the previous month.   Regular pay growth was 7.8% 3m/yr, unchanged from the previous period and in line with expectations. Total, whole economy pay including bonuses was 8.5% 3m/yr up from a revised 8.4% 3m/yr previously. However, the total pay (i.e. including bonus)) measure is still being affected by one-off non-consolidated payments made to the civil service and NHS as part of recent pay settlements. Private sector regular pay (the measure the MPC have indicated they are actually focused on) dipped to 8.1% 3m/yr from 8.2% 3m/yr previously. The MPC remain focused in two aspects of the labour market 1) its overall tightness and 2) private sector pay developments. On 1) there is now sustained evidence therefore that the labour market is loosening, unemployment has risen, the number of vacancies continues to fall which is backed up by survey data of employment intentions. However, as MPC member Jon Cunliffe noted at last week’s Treasury Committee, "the pay data lag the activity data” and therefore “it takes time for all that to work through". So even if the MPC can begin to feel more confident that the cooling of the labour market will feed through to wage growth it remains too high for comfort in the here and now. We continue to see next week’s meeting delivering a 25bps increase in Bank Rate which we think will mark the end of the current tightening cycle.          

AUD: labouring away The AUD has benefited so far this week from policymakers’ efforts in both Japan and China to resist further currency weakness. The AUD, acting as a proxy for the CNH for investors, has especially benefited from the PBoC’s strong stance against further CNY weakness. The real test for the AUD will come from today’s US CPI data, however. The currency would receive a double whammy from an upside surprise in US inflation: (1) a weakening due to higher UST yields; and (2) the concomitant decline in risk sentiment with higher UST yields. A further strong stance by the PBoC against more CNY weakness on the back of an upside surprise in US CPI data would further push investors into using the AUD as a proxy for CNY weakness. Australia releases its August labour market data on Thursday. This data is likely to be more of a background driver of the AUD. The RBA made clear last week it maintains a modest tightening bias and with the market pricing in about a one-in-three chance of another 25bp rate hike by the RBA this tightening cycle, the risks around the data are skewed to the upside for the AUD. Leading indicators for the labour market have softened, suggesting that Australia’s unemployment rate will continue to drift higher as employment growth slows.  

GBP: treading water The GBP remains among the G10 FX underperformers MTD, as mixed UK jobs data could not offer the GBP any sort of relief yesterday with GBP rates falling somewhat. Today the focus shifts onto the latest UK GDP and external trade figures for July, although they may not be of a greater help either. A month ago, UK activity for June surprised massively to the upside (0.5% MoM vs 0.2% expected) thanks to positive base effects stemming from the extra bank holiday, but the ebb & flow in activity from one month to another may have had longer legs. The economists surveyed by Bloomberg indeed look for a -0.2% MoM contraction in July UK GDP, as other data sets already suggest that poor weather conditions in the month somewhat deterred UK consumers, on top of tighter monetary conditions more broadly speaking. Ultimately, today’s data is unlikely to change the prospects that the UK economy will likely just continue to stagnate, as per the latest scenario outlined by the BoE in its August MPR and reiterated yesterday by upcoming Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden. Against this not-so-rosy backdrop, the GBP may just muddle through as well, while being possibly more vulnerable to stagflation threats than other FX majors.   JPY: watching the US CPI data Following BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda’s hawkish words in the Japanese press over the weekend, investors have continued to increase their bets that the BoJ will end its NIRP sometime in early 2024. The 5Y JGB yield has jumped to its highest level since January 2023, when there was last speculation of a shift in the BoJ’s ultraloose monetary policy stance. This was the time ahead of PM Fumio Kishida nominating Ueda to be BoJ Governor and Ueda affirming he would be sticking to the current monetary policy regime. The 10Y JGB yield is also clinging to its recent 5bp gain to around 0.70%. While this speculation and higher JGB yields initially helped the JPY, its rally has faded and the currency is now only modestly less weak than it was before Ueda’s remarks. The culprit of this renewed weakness in the JPY is investors positioning for a potential upside surprise in US inflation when CPI data is released later today. The main driver of the JPY remains UST yields rather than JGB yields given that the latter remain tied down by the BoJ. An upside surprise in US CPI would place further pressure on Japan’s policymakers to verbally intervene in FX markets to support the JPY to potentially be followed by actual intervention. The BoJ meeting next week will be a big litmus test on this front. What is clear from the recent rhetoric of policymakers is that both MoF and BoJ officials now acknowledge a weak JPY is bringing about more cost-push inflation, which is hurting households, than the desirable demand-pull inflation required to bring about a sustainable end to deflation. This is a significant shift in rhetoric given that previously officials constantly said the benefits of a weak JPY for the economy more than offset its drawbacks.

It was a weak session in Asia as higher oil prices and UST yields sapped investors’ enthusiasm for risk. UST yields were pushed higher by concerns about US inflation ahead of the August CPI release later today. Indeed, a 10Y UST auction drew its highest yield since 2007. Asian technology shares were also hurt by a weak investor reception of Apple’s launch of its iPhone 15. At the time of writing, most Asian bourses as well as S&P 500 futures were trading in the red. Higher UST yields and risk-off trading led to a modestly stronger USD with the AUD and JPY leading the declines against the USD. G10 FX is trading cautiously and in tight ranges ahead of the US inflation data release later today.   USD: of (headline) inflation and head fakes Ahead of the US CPI data, our US economist is looking for the headline print to reaccelerate to 3.7% YoY in August, up from 3.2% previously (and above the consensus expectation of 3.6%). In contrast, core inflation is expected to slow down to 4.2% YoY in August, down from 4.7% in July. The mix of accelerating headline and decelerating core inflation highlights that the main driver of the latest price developments is the renewed rebound of energy prices. Fed Chair Jerome Powell signalled back in July that the August CPI is the final of the five key data points that will inform the outcome of next week’s policy meeting. In that, we believe that the Fed may decide to look past the revival of cost-push inflation and focus instead on the persistent drop of core inflation. If confirmed, today’s data could therefore confirm market expectations of a Fed pause in September. Turning to the FX market reaction, the USD will likely take its cue from the US rates markets. We further note that while today’s CPI print may not reignite the Fed rate hike expectations, it could still encourage investors to push back on their rate cut expectations and thus boost the USD rate appeal especially if the (headline) inflation print overshoots market expectations. In addition, the safe-haven USD could continue to draw support from the market’s fragile risk sentiment.

GBP: Paring back of BoE hike expectations encouraging reversal of GBP gains The pound has continued to trade at weaker levels overnight after selling off yesterday following the release of the latest labour market report from the UK. It has resulted in EUR/GBP rising back above the 0.8600-level while cable is continuing to hold just above support from the 200-day moving average that comes in at around 1.2430. The pound has been undermined recently by the paring back of BoE rate hike expectations as we highlighted in our latest FX Weekly report (click here). The UK rate market has become less confident that the BoE will deliver multiple further rate hikes in the current tightening cycle. There are 19bps of hikes priced in for next week’s MPC meeting and 39bps of hikes by February of next year. It implies that the UK rate market is currently attaching around a 50:50 probability to the BoE delivering one final hike after next week’s 25bp hike which is viewed as almost a one deal. The main trigger for the paring back of BoE rate hike expectations have been comments from BoE officials including Governor Bailey and Chief Economist Pill who have signalled that the rate hike cycle is close to an end and that keeping rates higher for longer is preferred to the alternative of hiking rates further towards 6.00%. Next week’s updated forward guidance from the MPC meeting will be important in determining whether the BoE plans to deliver one final hike or is becoming more confident that it has raised rates enough   At the same time the recent data flow from the UK is helping to dampen BoE rate hike expectations as well. While yesterday’s labour market report did show average weekly earnings hitting a new high of 8.5% in July, the details of the report provided more encouragement that labour demand continues to weaken and wage growth is beginning to slow. Employment dropped by 207k and the unemployment rate ticked up further to 4.3% as it moved further above the cycle low of 3.5% from las August. Back in the August MPR the BoE had forecast the unemployment rate would rise to only 4.4% by the end of next year. Job vacancies also continued to fall and moved below 1 million. After stripping out more volatile bonuses, regular pay growth in the private sector has slowed in recent months coming. The HMRC’s median pay measure even declined by -0.5%M/M suggesting the peak has been reached for pay growth.   Furthermore, it has just been revealed that services sector growth was much weaker than expected at the start of Q3. After expanding by 0.5%M/M in June, service sector output contracted by -0.5% in July. It has reinforced the pound’s downward momentum  

The higher price of oil could already be starting to have an influence on Fed rate expectations for next year. The amount of rate cuts priced in by December of next year has been pared back to around -83bps. If the Fed is encouraged to keep rates on hold for longer it would pose upside risks for our US dollar forecasts (click here). In our latest monthly FX Outlook report we pushed back our forecasts for further Us dollar weakness and the start of Fed rate cuts into 1H of next year. Bringing developments back to today, the release of the US CPI for August is expected to reveal a pick-up in headline inflation (+0.6M/M) while core inflation is expected to increase at a slower pace (+0.2%M/M) for the third consecutive month. The recent faster than expected slowdown in inflation, employment and wage growth has reinforced market expectations that the Fed will leave rates on hold this month. There are currently only 2bps of hikes priced in for the 20th September FOMC meeting. There would have to be a significant upside for inflation today to alter market expectations for the Fed to remain on hold. Looking at price action around CPI report releases this year, the dollar index has weakened in the first 30 minutes after releases following the last six CPI reports.    

USD: Oil price rebound continues ahead of US CPI report release The main foreign exchange rates have remained stable during the Asian trading session with USD/CNY continuing to trade just below the 7.3000-level and USD/JPY at just below 147.50. The verbal intervention from domestic policymakers in China and Japan to support their currencies has at least helped to stable their currencies close to recent lows although is unlikely to trigger a more sustained reversal of US dollar strength on its own. Market attention will shift back to the global inflation outlook today when the latest US CPI report for August will be released. The recent rebound in the price of oil and gasoline has continued at the start of this week which if sustained would create a more challenging backdrop for central banks next year in their ongoing efforts to bring inflation back down to their targets. The price of Brent crude oil rose further above USD92/barrel overnight extending its advance since the low last month to almost 13% and to almost 30% since the low from back in June. The latest data published by OPEC showed that global markets face a supply shortfall of more than 3 million barrels a day in Q4. If realized it could be the biggest inventory drawdown since at least 2007 according to Bloomberg. OPEC’s 13 members have pumped an average of 27.4 million barrels per day so far this quarter or roughly 1.8 million less than it believes consumers needed. This gap between OPEC supply and demand is expected to almost double in Q4 when it estimates it will need to provide 30.7 million barrels a day to satisfy demand. Saudi Arabia’s recent decision to extend production cuts until the end of this year means that OPEC supply is expected to remain stable. The developments are encouraging speculation that the price of oil could rise back above USD100/barrel by the end of this year. A negative development for global consumers and would limit room for central banks to reverse policy tightening in the year ahead.    

Fed to focus on core, but sustained higher energy prices could jeopardize inflation expectations: A jump in gasoline prices over August should drive headline CPI to its highest m/m print since June 2022’s blowout 1.2% gain. Given our house forecast for WTI oil at USD77/barrel by year-end and USD81/barrel by end-2024, we do not envisage significant further upside in gasoline prices. That said, Fed officials will keep close watch on inflation expectations amid energy- and gasoline-price increases. As Powell has stated in the past, as long as inflation remains high, price expectations remain at risk. At the moment, medium- and longer-run inflation expectations have generally stayed anchored, albeit at the upper ends of their recent ranges.   Risks tilted to upside on less scope for “revenge spending” price declines: Of 61 forecasts for August CPI, 45 economists expect a core print of 0.2% m/m, versus 14 at 0.3% and 1 each for 0.1% and 0.4%. We agree that the risks to the core forecast likely tilt to the upside – indeed, our core CPI forecast on an unrounded basis stands at 0.24% m/m. The skew of risks in our view comes by virtue of less scope for downside from several “revenge spending” categories that comprise non-housing services. For example, we think it is unlikely that airfares will post a third consecutive 8% m/m decline, particularly with jet fuel prices increasing for the month (indeed, we pencil in a small rise here)  

Goods and shelter progress enough for a pause, cuts will require improvement in ex-housing services: A third straight 0.2% m/m core CPI print would meet many Fed officials’ criterion to consider a pause, at least based on progress on the inflation mandate. Indeed, at a Q&A during a 13 July speech, Governor Waller (one of the more hawkish-leaning FOMC participants) said that two more “good” CPI prints could suggest stopping hikes. July comprised one, and we think August will comprise two. While this outcome is likely to help justify a pause, we think the Fed will need to see more progress on the non-housing services inflation front in order to entertain rate cuts. To wit, Powell said “some further progress here [in non-housing services inflation] will be essential to restoring price stability.”  

KEY MESSAGES  We think a third straight 0.2% m/m core CPI print that lowers the y/y rate to 4.3% (from 4.7%) will help firm up a pause at the coming September FOMC meeting.  While Fed officials will likely look through a gasoline-driven 0.6% m/m rise in headline CPI, higher energy prices could risk amplifying inflation expectations, which generally remain anchored but at the high end of their ranges.  We expect a continued moderation in shelter inflation and another contraction in goods prices to keep core inflation relatively subdued. We anticipate little (if any) improvement in non-housing services inflation, which we see continuing to move sideways on a y/y basis.  We see a 0.3% m/m core CPI print as more likely than 0.1%, given large contractions in several “revenge spending” categories such as airfares over the past couple of months that we think will be hard to repeat in August.   Finally, a cool summer on the inflation front Summer 2023 has been one of cooling rather than heating, at least when it comes to inflation. With core CPI having increased by annualized rates of 1.9% in both June and July, a third straight such print should help firm up policymakers’ confidence in an emerging disinflationary trend. As in June and July, we expect goods and shelter inflation to help moderate core inflation for August. Wholesale usedvehicle prices are pointing to another decline for retail prices, while higher inventory levels suggest more downside for nonvehicle core goods inflation. Meanwhile, the slowdown in market rents should continue to feed into overall shelter inflation.   On the mend, but a “long way to go”: Though moderation in these two categories – goods and shelter – may persist in August, we expect little to no improvement in the key non-housing services inflation subset. Specifically, we look for another 0.3% m/m print that should leave the y/y rate steady at 5.3%.   We do not anticipate material improvement in non-housing services inflation without a corresponding softening in the labor market. Evidence is accumulating in that direction – e.g. openings are falling as wage growth is slowing – but we think further material loosening is needed before clearing disinflation for this sticky subset of prices takes hold. Fed Chair Powell hinted at a similar view in his Jackson Hole speech, noting that while the unwindings of both pandemicrelated demand and supply distortions “are now working together to bring down inflation, the process still has a long way to go, even with the more favorable recent readings.”    

At -0.78 (vs -0.83 last week) our Risk Index has pulled back a little from elevated levels indicating significant risk-seeking behaviour by investors. The downward trend in the Index is decelerating. The pillars of the recent improvement in risk sentiment are (1) slowing US inflation and (2) investors’ hope that the Fed is likely finished hiking rates or very close to the end of its tightening cycle. Some recent events have dented this hope, including rising food prices on the back of El Nino and higher oil prices on the back of Saudi Arabia & Russia deciding to extend their voluntary production cuts. Higher food & energy prices threaten a re-acceleration in inflation and at the very least high rates for longer or worse a return to Fed rate hikes. Today’s US headline inflation data will be supported by higher energy prices, which will leave investors focusing on the core inflation data for evidence of further deceleration in inflation. Investors are understandably nervous ahead of this data release. The largest contributors to the rise in our Risk Index were rising Sovereign-EM spreads as well as the outperformance of cyclical stocks by defensive stocks. Rising FX market volatility also contributed to the rise in the Index. Falling credit spreads and gold prices restrained the rise in our Risk Index. The CAD is the G10 currency most sensitive to our Risk Index, followed by the GBP and EUR. These currencies are negatively correlated with the Index. The JPY & SEK are the most positively correlated currencies with the Index.        

oday, Italy will sell EUR 3.5-4bn of the new BTP 4% Nov30 and will reopen BTP 3.85% Sep26 for EUR 2.75-3.25bn, BTP 4.5% Oct53 for EUR 1-1.5bn and BTP 5% Sep40 for EUR 0.75-1bn. The auction size will be EUR 8-9.75bn, in line with its endof-August auction. Reopenings for specialists worth EUR 2.4bn will be particularly valuable due to tomorrow’s ECB meeting. Yesterday, BTP Nov30 was trading at 4.15% on the gray market, 6bp higher than the previous benchmark (BTP 3.7% Jun30). We like the new 7Y benchmark in a 5/7/10Y fly, whereas a 3/5Y steepener is appealing in a medium/long-term horizon. With respect to extra-long bonds on auction, BTP Oct53 remains cheap in relative-value terms, reflecting future supply pressure and lower convexity, while BTP Sep40 is fairly priced. A 10/30Y flattener remains an interesting defensive trade from a tactical perspective, especially after the recent steepening. For further information on the auction, see our Primary Market Focus – Italy issues new BTP Nov30 in an appealing area of the curve. Today, Germany will reopen Bund Aug52 and Bund 1.8% Aug53 for a total of EUR 2.5bn. Bund Aug52 was last sold via auction a month ago, whereas Bund Aug53 was last tapped via syndication on 29 August. The deal worth EUR 3bn was well received. Indeed, Bund Aug53 was sold at Bund Aug52 +7.5bp and is now trading 6bp higher, in line with the spread before the transaction. On the other hand, the extra-long end of the Bund curve has underperformed over the past month, with the 10/30Y spread steepening by 5bp to 12bp. Today, Portugal will reopen PGB 1.65% Jul32 and PGB 0.9% Oct35 for EUR 0.75-1bn.    

EGB curves bear-flattened yesterday, with investors adjusting their positions ahead of upcoming macro events. Gilts were the stars of the day, with their yields declining after July jobs data confirmed a softening of the labor market, while USTs were little changed. European stocks edged moderately lower. Brent rose by 1.5% to USD 92/bbl   Caution has prevailed overnight, as highlighted by the weak performance of Asian stocks as well as US and European stock futures. While USTs are little changed, Bund futures have edged lower following a Reuters report that the ECB might raise its inflation projection for next year to above 3%. EGBs are set to open the trading session under pressure. In FX, EUR-USD has risen towards the 1.0750 area and USD-JPY has reached 147.40. EGB issuance activity will be quite lively today, with Italy, Germany and Portugal selling a total of EUR 13bn. Focus will be on the new 7Y BTP, the fourth and last new benchmark to be issued by Italy in 3Q23. With respect to the macro data, investor focus will be on US CPI data. The inflation report precedes the FOMC meeting by a week and will probably affect the Fed’s decision and, to a lesser extent, the updated economic projections that will be published next Wednesday. August CPI data are expected to show a mixed picture, with headline inflation likely having increased due to higher energy prices (in August, the average oil price was 6% higher than in July), while core inflation probably softened further. If data come in line with our estimates and consensus, the impact on fixed-income securities will probably be negligible as there seems to be consensus among analysts. Although market-based inflation expectations have already risen due to higher energy prices, especially at shorter tenors, their increase has been limited and breakeven rates have remained within the trading ranges of the last three months. Since 10 August, when July CPI data were published, the 10Y UST yield has risen by 20bp, with the real yield component, now close to 2%, contributing almost 100%. This move shows that inflation expectations remain anchored and that the re-acceleration of headline inflation in August is not seen as a major concern for investors or the Fed. On the other hand, the fresh increase in real yields seems to suggest that investors are continuing to reduce their expectations of a recession in the US and a rapid shift towards a looser monetary policy by the Fed. We see credit starting on a more cautious tone today ahead of the release of US CPI data in the afternoon and higher oil prices are weighing on equity markets. The sentiment on the Swedish residential property market declined again in September with more respondents in the monthly SBAB house price survey now seeing prices falling. The market expectation of a further rate hike by the Swedish central bank indicates expectations that further rising borrowing costs and inflation will lead to accommodation becoming less affordable. Swedish residential property prices are around 10% below their peak in March 2022 and market commentators see overall price declines of 20% as possible. For Swedish banks we see a further decline as still manageable given that average LTVs are in the 50-60% rang   Today and tomorrow are set to be two crucial days for the FX market US CPI inflation for August is the key release early this afternoon, but the USD reaction might prove to be complicated. This is because the US data will likely be mixed. We expect a rise in the headline index and a further decline in the core rate. This might spark some USD swings when the data are published but FX majors will probably end today’s session not far from current levels, given the ECB decision tomorrow. For there to be a more directional reaction, both headline and core inflation would have to surprise to the upside or the downside. Since a steady FOMC meeting outcome on 20 September is highly likely at this point, we expect the market reaction to be asymmetric and think that softer-than-expected data (even in the headline component) are unlikely to dent the current USD strength too much. On the other hand, an unexpected and sharp acceleration in the core index is probably needed to force investors to return to pricing in a higher chance of another rate hike in the US next week, which would drive the dollar index (DXY) back towards the recent peak of 105.15. In our view, EUR-USD is set to remain close to 1.0750, after press report suggesting that the ECB expects inflation to remain above 3% next year. Recent lows of around 1.0690 and 1.0770-1.08 are thus the key levels to monitor. Meanwhile, bad economic data in the UK early this morning will likely keep GBP-USD below 1.25. The return of USDJPY to 147 makes it clear that the debate on policy normalization in Japan is not enough to convince investors to ride a yen recovery, while USD-CNY and USD-CNH are likely to remain below 7.30 amid higher funding costs in the offshore market. Early tomorrow morning the decline that we expect in both headline and core inflation data in Sweden is unlikely to prevent another 25bp rate hike by the Riksbank next week. Still, the data will probably weigh somewhat on the SEK at the start of the European session. The PLN looks set to continue to suffer from the NBP’s bold rate cut last week. The HUF will likely trade close to 385 against the EUR after Hungarian Economic Development Minister Nagy hinted at stagnant growth for Hungary this year, while the NBH confirmed that the base rate (now 13%) will replace the 1D depo rate (now 14%) from 1 October. Lastly, the RUB steadying around 95 against the USD further suggests a steady outcome to the CBR meeting on Friday.

Economic data, news & events ■ UK: Monthly GDP contracted by 0.5% mom in July, reversing the rise of 0.5% in the prior month. The main downward contribution came from services, where output fell 0.5% mom in July. Within services, the largest downward contribution came from healthcare activity, where industrial action increased. But there were also falls in industrial production and construction in July. Monthly GDP has been particularly volatile recently due to: 1. an additional bank holiday in May; 2. exceptionally warm weather in June, which boosted hospitality, tourism and construction; and 3. Industrial strike action. Looking instead at the less volatile 3M/3M growth rate, GDP rose 0.2% in July, unchanged from June. We continue to expect the economy to enter a recession around the turn of the year. ■ EU: Today, European Commission President von der Leyen will deliver her speech on the State of the Union 2023 during the European Parliament plenary session in Strasbourg. She is expected to outline the main priorities and flagship initiatives for the year to come, based on the EU’s achievements of the past years (9:00 CET). ■ Eurozone: We forecast a 0.7% mom decline in industrial output for July, following a contraction of 1% qoq in 2Q23. The expected contraction will have come about in a difficult environment for the industrial sector, which faces weak global demand for goods and fading support from backlogs of orders. The latest surveys of industrial activity do not point to a turnaround any time soon. The manufacturing PMI and its gauges of output and new orders remain stuck far below the expansion threshold (11:00 CET). ■ US: Headline monthly CPI inflation likely jumped to 0.6% mom in August, from 0.2% mom in July. In yearly terms, CPI inflation likely rose to 3.6%, from 3.2%. Such an acceleration was likely entirely driven by energy prices, as we estimate that gasoline prices rose by around 10% mom in seasonally adjusted terms and utility (piped) gas prices probably followed wholesale prices higher. Core inflation, on the other hand, is likely to come in at 0.2% mom for a third consecutive month, taking the yoy rate down to 4.4% from 4.7% in the prior month. We expect the disinflation process continued in housing, while inflation for core-goods and for non-housing core services (referred to as supercore) likely continued to moderate (14:30 CET).

At -0.78 (vs -0.83 last week) our Risk Index has pulled back a little from elevated levels indicating significant risk-seeking behaviour by investors. The downward trend in the Index is decelerating. The pillars of the recent improvement in risk sentiment are (1) slowing US inflation and (2) investors’ hope that the Fed is likely finished hiking rates or very close to the end of its tightening cycle.

The timing of the BoJ’s start to the normalisation process will likely depend on whether the Bank of Japan moves quickly or slowly to normalise its monetary policy and on the expectation of whether the Fed will move to cut rates next year. The main scenario for the US is that the central bank policy tightening cycle is approaching its end and the global economy will show stronger signs of slowing down as slows the cumulative effects of policy rate hikes so far to suppress demand and dampen inflationary pressures. An economic slowdown and expectations for interest rate cuts will likely strengthen downward pressure on global bond yields and give the BoJ room to reduce its JGB purchases while maintaining the current YCC framework. Based on the latest US financial accounts, the household savings rate (net asset change as a percentage of GDP) seems to have bottomed out at around 2.2% of GDP in Q422, and it has increased since then to 4.4% as of Q223. The household savings rate rising again combined with economic data showing signs of weakness and weaker inflationary pressures is likely the basis for many market participants continuing to see a soft-landing scenario as their main scenario. As long as markets are pricing in a Fed rate cut sometime next year, the BoJ will likely continue with its current monetary easing policies. We continue to expect the BoJ to likely start the normalisation process by exiting from the YCC framework in CY25, once the global economy enters the next cyclical recovery.   At the G20 New Delhi Summit, the leaders of key economies agreed that “headwinds to global economic growth and stability persist” and shared concerns of a potential global economic slowdown. The BoJ seems to be maintaining the view that “there are extremely high uncertainties for Japan’s economic activity and prices, including developments in overseas economic activity and prices, developments in commodity prices, and domestic firms’ wage- and price-setting behavior”.   The BoJ will likely remain cautious of any major policy changes as long as the central bank holds such views, so as to not repeat past mistakes of premature policy tightening, especially as the government is maintaining a strong commitment to the Abenomics policy framework to pull Japan completely out of deflation. On the other hand, the risk scenario is if the global economy remains resilient and markets stop pricing policy rate cuts by key central banks next year, the BoJ could start the normalisation process in CY24 under the judgement that the global economy will remain strong  

In an interview with the Yomiuri, BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda indicated that the central bank could have enough information and data by the end of the year to judge whether wages will continue to rise at a pace that is necessary to achieve the 2% price stability target. However, back in April, Governor Ueda indicated that next year’s annual wage bargaining will likely become a key factor in deciding the future of monetary policy but the BoJ could make a decision on whether the 2% inflation target accompanied by wage growth is achievable at an earlier point depending on the data that becomes available beforehand. The governor’s latest remark is a repeat of his previous comments saying the central bank is of the view that it is ready to normalise its policies once conditions are satisfactory for such moves. Instead, the latest comment was likely made to combat speculative moves in the FX market, which could act as a hindrance to monetary policy. As long as markets are pricing in a Fed rate cut sometime next year, the BoJ will likely continue with the current monetary easing policies. We continue to expect that the BoJ will likely start the normalisation process by exiting from the YCC framework in CY25, once the global economy enters the next cyclical recovery. The BoJ will likely remain cautious of any major policy changes as long as the central bank maintains that “there are extremely high uncertainties for Japan's economic activity” and to not repeat past mistakes of premature policy tightening, especially as the government is maintaining a strong commitment to the Abenomics policy framework to pull Japan completely out of deflation. On the other hand, the risk scenario is if the global economy remains resilient and markets stop pricing policy rate cuts by key central banks next year, the BoJ could start the normalisation process in CY24 under the judgement that the global economy will remain strong.   In an interview with the Yomiuri, BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda indicated that the central bank could have enough information and data by year-end to judge whether wages will continue to rise at a pace that is necessary to achieve the 2% price stability target. Markets reacted to the interview as a hint that the central bank could start the normalisation process much earlier than previously anticipated.   However, Governor Ueda has made similar remarks before, and the latest comment is likely not a change in the central bank’s or the governor’s views. Back in April, Governor Ueda indicated during his press conference that next year’s annual wage bargaining will likely become a key factor in deciding the future of monetary policy, but the BoJ could make a decision on whether the 2% inflation target accompanied by wage growth is achievable at an earlier point depending on the data that becomes available beforehand.   The governor’s latest remark is a repeat of his previous comments saying the central bank is of the view that it is ready to normalise its policies once conditions are satisfactory for such moves. The remark was likely made to combat speculative moves in the FX market, which could act as a hindrance to monetary policy. In other words, the governor’s statement is likely similar to those typically made by the Minister of Finance and other MoF officials where they issue warnings on volatility in the FX market verbally but do not implement any actual intervention moves.

A 0.45%MoM increase in shelter prices, similar to in July Primary rents and owners’ equivalent rent should continue to slow modestly in August, with a 0.44% increase in primary rents and 0.46% OER in our forecast. Current shelter prices in CPI will reflect the easing in rents and house prices that already occurred in 2022/early-2023 and we expect prices to slow to around ~0.3%MoM by the end of the year. But we would caution that the quick and substantial rebound in home prices over the last few months could limit how much shelter prices will slow and could even suggest upside risks in the second half of 2024. This would be particularly true for owners’ equivalent rent, which could remain stronger than primary rents as in July data. Higher home prices should imply upward pressure on rents for single family homes, which will reflect the majority of the OER sample.   - We have penciled in a modest 0 4% increase in lodging away from home in August although with possible downside risks. There appears to be some modest residual seasonality leading to weaker hotel prices in the summer months, but we would still see strong travel demand, especially into the holiday season of greater domestic travel, as putting upward pressure on hotel prices.   A stronger 0.39% increase in core non-shelter services prices The key difference between our August CPI forecast and the 0.16%MoM core prints of June and July is an expectation for a bounce-back in airfares. Admittedly, we have been expecting a rebound in airfares for a number of months that has yet to materialize, with 8% monthly declines in June and July. We suspect this has been due to a combination of a number of factors including 1) falling energy prices, 2) a shift in usual seasonal patterns for travel and booking of travel, 3) a selection of flights in the CPI sample that could be somewhat stale to reflect current travel patterns. In August, both factors 1 and 2 would suggest stronger airfares, with energy prices rising again and a large positive seasonal factor. Given already substantial declines in July, an expectation that prices will not fall as much in August leads us to pencil in a 4% seasonally adjusted increase. Other transportation services prices apart from airfares could also be somewhat stronger in August, including an increase in car rental prices after months of declines and a increase in intracity transportation, with further upside in September, reflecting New York City area fare increases. Headline CPI should rise a substantial 0.6%MoM and 3.7%YoY, largely reflecting the increase in retail gas prices.    

CITI'S TAKE We expect a 0.3%MoM increase in core CPI in August. At 0.25% unrounded there is risk of another print that rounds to 0.2%, but a still clearly stronger print than 0.16%MoM increases in June and July and with an expected pick-up in core non-shelter services prices. This would be due to a rebound in airfares, with both seasonal factors and rising energy prices suggesting August could be the month when airfares rise again after recent surprising declines. Rising retail gas prices, especially relative to seasonal trends, will also be a substantial boost to an expected 0.6%MoM increase in headline CPI. Goods prices could remain soft and shelter prices should continue to slow modestly, but stronger core non-shelter services prices would be an important reminder that underlying inflationary pressures remain and should increase the chances of another rate hike from the Fed, which we expect to come in November.   While factors like slowing shelter prices imply that a reacceleration to ~0.5% monthly core CPI increases is unlikely, we expect data starting in August to highlight that the last two months of softer core CPI increases will not last. We expect a 0.3%MoM increase in core CPI in August, although at 0.25%MoM unrounded, this would be close to rising another 0.2% (albeit stronger than the last two months of 0.16% increases).   The key difference in August data compared to June and July should be a rebound in the airfares component after unusually large declines. This would mean that core non-shelter services in CPI rise close to 0.4%, the strongest increase since February.   While core non-shelter services prices in CPI do not always correspond with those in PCE inflation that the Fed targets, this would be an important signal that underlying inflationary pressures remain elevated. Chances of another rate hike from the Fed should rise with an upside 0.3% surprise compared to consensus expectations, as we continue to expect another 25bp rate hike in November.   Our 0.252%MoM core CPI forecast is based on: A 0.22% decline in core goods prices, a smaller drop than last month.   - The decline in goods prices should be largely due to further declines in used car prices, with a 1.5%MoM drop penciled into our August forecast. We also expect another modest 0.1% decline in new car prices, although residual seasonality effects that have been present in previous years during the summer months could be coming to an end soon. Falling used car prices in August are in line with previous declines in wholesale used car values, which will lead retail prices by a few months, although wholesale prices stabilized in August. Used car prices also typically drop substantially in September with annual discounts, implying a large positive seasonal factor next month. So far, some daily retail price data show prices moving sideways in September. While this might not fully reflect discounting captured in CPI, it could suggest some upside risks for our current September forecasts that again pencil in another substantial decline in used car prices in September. - An important factor leading to our borderline 0.3%MoM core CPI forecast is an expectation for a bounce-back in apparel prices. Apparel prices had risen consistently for much of the last year before falling very modestly in July. We have penciled in a 0.2% increase in August. Similar patterns were seen in apparel prices in July/August in 2022 and 2021 suggesting some residual seasonality issue. - Other goods prices are still likely to be soft overall in August, although we have been noting that many of the disinflationary forces impacting goods prices over the last year, such as falling commodity prices and supply chain corrections, could be coming to an end. As goods demand remains strong and has started to pick up again, this could also imply support for consumer goods prices. Possible upside risks for goods prices could materialize more into the Q4 shopping season.    

Meanwhile, tensions have been rising again in Japan following Vice Finance Minister for International Affairs Masato Kanda's verbal intervention. Kanda said "looking at underlying moves, speculative action or activity that cannot be explained by fundamentals can be observed" and "we won't rule out any options if speculative moves persist."   Japanese authorities take more stringent tone Furthermore, at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting on 8 September, Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said "the government is closely monitoring developments in the currency market with a heightened sense of urgency." The authorities in Japan are taking an increasingly stringent tone in their communication. With the dollar strengthening across the board and diplomatic events such as this weekend's G20 meeting underway, we think this suggests moves to improve the environment are making progress. In any case, we expect the remarks to discourage further yen selling to some extent. Meanwhile, BOJ board members Hajime Takata and Junko Nakagawa spoke this week. This means that five of the nine policy board members, starting with Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida, have spoken following the monetary policy meeting in July. Overall, they all saw an upside risk to inflation, and a consensus seems to have formed that monetary policy should start to be normalized once a solid rise in wages has been confirmed. However, opinions differed on the conditions for lifting negative interest rates, and this does not seem to be specifically on the agenda, even though the prospect is on the horizon. Such statements did not prompt the foreign exchange market to expect the disparity between domestic and overseas monetary policy to narrow, and the yen has continued to sell. In addition, crude oil prices have been rising recently. We expect Japan's trade balance to worsen as the value of imports rises if prices remain at this level or rise further. We also see the risk of yen selling picking up steam in anticipation of such real demand.

This week saw a flurry of remarks from senior Fed officials, including Fed Governor Christopher Waller on 5 September and NY Fed President John Williams on the 7th. Waller said recent economic news will allow the Fed to "proceed carefully" and that "there's nothing that is saying we need to do anything imminent anytime soon," suggesting the FOMC may skip a rate hike in September. Senior Fed officials signal rate hike pause in September However, he was less definitive about the need for further hikes, saying "we have to wait and see" if current trends such as slowing inflation continue. Governor Williams also hinted at a pause, saying that monetary policy was having the expected effects, but that it was "an open question" as to whether further rate hikes were needed. We see these remarks essentially as advance notice ahead of the blackout period before the FOMC which starts from this weekend. This has worked to pause the rise in UST yields and dollar strength ahead of the weekend. However, the CPI for August, retail sales, and other economic indicators will be announced next week, and these will be key for the Fed's monetary policy decisions due to its data dependent stance. We do not expect such data to change the trend of the foreign exchange market unless the results differ significantly from market forecasts given the FOMC meeting is scheduled for the following week, and the focus of the FOMC has shifted to whether the Fed will raise rates and the forecast of the rate cuts in 2024 which is expected to be shown in the dot plot. Naturally, now that expectations of prolonged monetary tightening are emerging due to the improvement in the US economy and the recent rise in oil prices, if economic indicators exceed expectations, the dollar is likely to strengthen and this would overshadow risk to the downside.

The USD/JPY opened the week at 146.08. The market moved slowly during Tokyo trading hours on 4 September (which was a holiday in the US), and the USD/JPY remained in the lower 146 range. It rose to around 146.50 after trading in European hours kicked off but did not move significantly. However, the dollar strengthened across the board when UST trading resumed on 5 September, because USTs were sold (meaning yields rose) in response to US employment data released on Friday (1 September).   The USD/JPY also rose intermittently in Tokyo trading hours, rising above 147 around the time the Europeans entered the market. Oil prices rose further after Saudi Arabia decided to extend its oil output cuts, which also helped to strengthen the dollar. The USD/JPY continued its climb, breaking past the 29 August high and moving above 147.50. Vice Finance Minister for International Affairs Masato Kanda's warnings of government intervention early morning on 6 September worked to curb the rise in the USD/JPY. The pair did not lose significant ground but remained directionless around the 147-level due to renewed concerns that the Japanese authorities were ready to stop the yen from falling further. However, UST yields rose after the ISM non-manufacturing index announced on the same day beat market expectations, and the USD/JPY rose to a high for the week of 147.87 on the morning of 7 September in Tokyo trading hours, although it fell back before reaching JPY148. The USD/JPY fell to as low as around 147 for a time as the rise in UST yields was curbed, then briefly fell to the upper 146-level on the morning of 8 September.   It was trading below 147.50 at the time of writing this report (Figure 1). This week, the dollar strengthened almost across the board, especially on 5 September after the US holiday. The yen was relatively strong among G10 currencies this week, despite the USD/JPY rising to the highest point since November 2022. The yen has actually strengthened against currencies such as the Australian dollar, partly due to the AUD's strong connection with the Chinese yuan, which weakened (Figure 2).  

At the G20 New Delhi Summit, the leaders of key economies agreed that “headwinds to global economic growth and stability persist” and shared concerns of a potential global economic slowdown. The BoJ seems to be maintaining the view that “there are extremely high uncertainties for Japan's economic activity and prices, including developments in overseas economic activity and prices, developments in commodity prices, and domestic firms' wage- and price-setting behavior”. In order to pull Japan completely out of deflation, the BoJ seems ready to be one policy cycle behind key central banks in starting the normalisation process. We expect the government to maintain its commitment to the current accommodative fiscal/monetary policy framework even after the PM Fumio Kishida reshuffles the cabinet and LDP leadership. The government will likely maintain its accommodative fiscal policy stance under the banner of “new capitalism” to further stimulate investments and in turn economic growth. With the government maintaining a strong commitment to the Abenomics policy framework, the BoJ will likely remain cautious of any major policy changes in order to not repeat past mistakes of premature policy tightening. On the other hand, the risk scenario is if the global economy remains resilient and markets stop pricing policy rate cuts by key central banks next year, the BoJ could start the normalisation process in 2024 under the assumption that the global economy will continue to remain strong.   At the G20 New Delhi Summit, the leaders of key economies agreed that “headwinds to global economic growth and stability persist” and shared concerns of a potential global economic slowdown.

In order to pull Japan completely out of deflation, the BoJ seems ready to be one policy cycle behind key central banks in starting the normalisation process. As long as markets are pricing in a Fed rate cut sometime next year, the BoJ will likely continue with the current monetary easing policies. We continue to expect the BoJ will likely start the normalisation process by exiting from the YCC framework in 2025, once the global economy enters the next cyclical recovery. Meanwhile, we expect the government to maintain its commitment to the current accommodative fiscal/monetary policy framework even after the PM Fumio Kishida reshuffles the cabinet and LDP leadership. The government will likely maintain its accommodative fiscal policy stance under the banner of “new capitalism” to further stimulate investments and in turn economic growth. With many key ministers having experienced posts within METI, the government’s fiscal policy stance will likely focus on stimulating the economy rather than balancing the budget. With the government maintaining a strong commitment to the Abenomics policy framework, the BoJ will likely remain cautious of any major policy changes in order to not repeat past mistakes of premature policy tightening. On the other hand, the risk scenario is if the global economy remains resilient and markets stop pricing policy rate cuts by key central banks next year, the BoJ could start the normalisation process in 2024 under the assumption that the global economy will continue to remain strong.   The main scenario is that the central bank policy tightening cycle is approaching its end and the global economy will show stronger signs of slowing down as the cumulative effects of policy rate hikes so far suppress demand and dampen inflationary pressures. An economic slowdown and expectations for interest rate cuts by key central banks including the Fed will likely strengthen downward pressure on global bond yields and give the BoJ room to reduce its JGB purchases while maintaining the current YCC framework.   Based on the latest US financial accounts, the household savings rate (net asset change as percentage of GDP) seems to have bottomed out at around 2.2% of GDP in Q422, and has increased since then to 4.4% as of Q223. The household savings rate rising again combined with economic data showing signs of weakness and weaker inflationary pressures is likely the basis in which many market participants continue to see a soft-landing scenario as their main scenario.   The upside risk scenario is that the global economy remains resilient and inflationary pressures remain. Under such a scenario, central banks will be forced to continue tightening monetary policy and market expectations of a policy rate cut in 2024 would disappear. In such a scenario, upward pressure on JGB yields would strengthen and the JPY would weaken further. The BoJ will likely be forced to adjust or abandon YCC in such a scenario. However, to finance the continued increase of consumption activities, households will be forced to sell assets which will likely lead to a peak in asset prices. Combined with higher policy rates, the economy could face strong headwinds in such a scenario and an upside risk scenario could be followed by a hard landing scenario   The downside risk scenario is that the effect of cumulative rate hikes by central banks so far appears much stronger than anticipated. Under such a scenario, businesses will likely strengthen their cautious attitudes and lead to a much stronger-than-expected deleveraging move. Central banks will likely be forced to respond by cutting policy rates at a much faster pace than anticipated. In such a world, the JPY would likely appreciate significantly and the risk that Japan falls back into deflation will likely strengthen. The BoJ will likely be forced to respond by implementing additional easing measures, such as further cuts to its negative interest rate policy, while implementing measures to alleviate the side effects of further easing policies simultaneously. Under such a scenario, the global economy could fall back into a deflationary state but we believe the likelihood of such a scenario materialising at this juncture remains small        

Tomorrow’s US August CPI is the pick of the week’s data releases and, after two years of heightened volatility in this data, we can say with some confidence that an upside surprisewould be USD-positive and vice versa. But how much is a surprise “worth” andis thereaction instantaneous? As the cleanest play on US rates prospects, we focus ontheUSD/JPY reaction here.     The two charts above show the difference between the core CPI outcome andtheBloomberg consensus forecast (horizontal axis) and the change in USD/JPY (vertical axis) after five minutes and after one hour. Data are from January 2021 up to last month’s July2023 data. As expected, almost all of the data points for non-zero surprises are inthebottom left and top right quadrants. Several observations are worth making Firstly, the beta reported on the first chart implies that on average a 0.1%pt surprise, either upside or downside, is associated with a 25pt move in USD/JPY after five minutes. We would stress that there is a wide range of outcomes around the average, but this gives an idea of what a “normal” market response would be to a given surprise in the data.   If we exclude the two upside outliers (0.5pt and 0.6%pt surprises), the initial reactionrises to 40pts for a 0.1%pt surprise, which may be a fairer estimate as both of theseobservations were very early in the current inflation cycle and were clearly treatedwithsome scepticism by markets. Secondly, because the beta in the second chart (the move after one hour) is larger thanthe beta in the first chart, the initial USD/JPY move tends to extend an hour later, rather than reverse. Again this is on average and will not always hold. But with that caveat inmind, the rightstrategy is generally to trade with the initial market reaction, rather thanto fade it.

Our proprietary indicator has declined further in July/August and even signals global trade to shrink somewhat. Although uncertainty is still high, our business cycle clock suggests no further deterioration. In July/August, the Global Leading Indicator by UniCredit was at a level of -0.4 standard deviations, its lowest level since November 2022, compared to zero in June.   Taken at face value, the latest figure signals global trade to shrink slightly by about 0.5-1.0% (on an annualized 3M/3M basis) compared to its average cruising speed of +4-5%. Note that our indicator led global trade by about two months on average in the past, i.e. global trade is set to decline somewhat in October. However, global trade data, which are available for June so far, already showed a deterioration after quite strong rises in the previous two months. How much worse will this downturn in global trade become? Our business cycle clock, which tracks the changes of the ten subcomponents included in our leading indicator, may give an indication, at least for the short-term. According to economic theory and ideally, the subcomponents rotate clockwise over time from downturn to recovery, expansion, slowdown and back to downturn again. What catches the eye in August is that there has not been any deterioration (see charts 3 and 4 on next page). The majority of sub-indicators has not moved further into downturn territory in the business cycle clock but has even improved a tad towards “no-man’s-land” where it is difficult to distinguish between the different business cycle regimes. Negative exemptions are the Ifo business expectations component and business confidence in the eurozone construction sector which have both continued to signal a downturn. The pattern in August could be the first signs of some leading indicators being in the process of bottoming out. Needless to say, uncertainty is still high at this stage. Sometimes, indicators also jump back and forth, especially on a volatile monthly basis. We will continue to monitor the patterns closely and keep you updated.        

If you're an ardent follower of cryptocurrency trends, you'll probably have heard of Peter Brandt. Brandt, a famed commodity trader, etched his name in the annals of crypto history when he predicted the Bitcoin crash of 2018. His uncanny foresight was validated when Bitcoin's value plummeted from a high of nearly $20,000 to below $4,000 that year. Now - Brandt has sent out a new warning about investing in Bitcoin, sparking a ripple of concern among investors.   Who is Peter Brandt?   Peter Brandt is more than a celebrated commodities trader; he's an esteemed personality in the world of finance with a successful trading career spanning over forty years. He made his mark in the late 1970s by demonstrating an exceptional knack for anticipating market trends and movements. Brandt expanded his professional reach by becoming an author, imparting his deep understanding to a broader audience. His seminal work, "Diary of a Professional Commodity Trader," brought to light by Wiley in 2011, is considered a must-have resource for those interested in delving into the complexities of commodity trading. The book serves as a journey through Brandt's personal trading history, providing a candid peek into the high-risk world of trading. Beyond trading and authorship, Brandt is the founding head of Factor LLC, his proprietary trading company, where he disseminates his market assessments and potential trading strategies. His followers highly regard his technical analysis charts, which have garnered a significant audience on social platforms, solidifying his status as a reliable voice in the industry.   The 2018 Prediction and Its Realisation   When Brandt predicted Bitcoin's 2018 crash, he cited key market patterns and trends that seemed to suggest an impending downturn. One pattern was a 'parabolic advance' - a steep, curved upward trend that Bitcoin exhibited leading up to the 2018 crash. Parabolic advances have historically been associated with unsustainable market bubbles, so spotting this pattern was a key reason behind Brandt's forecast.   Brandt also noted the euphoric sentiment surrounding Bitcoin, which was reminiscent of other historic market bubbles. The rampant speculation, combined with the lack of a tangible underlying asset, were strong indicators of an unsustainable price level.   His prediction was shockingly accurate. Bitcoin's value dropped by more than 80% in a year, falling from nearly $20,000 in December 2017 to below $4,000 by December 2018. This crash validated Brandt's forecast, proving his proficiency in understanding and predicting market trends.   The Aftermath and Recovery   Despite the severe crash, Bitcoin showed its resilience and rebounded in the subsequent years. In 2019, Bitcoin embarked on a recovery path, closing the year at around $7,200, a significant increase from its low point the previous year.   The year 2020 brought further growth, with Bitcoin's value more than tripling. The global pandemic played a role in this surge, as economic uncertainties and inflationary fears drove many investors towards Bitcoin as a 'digital gold' and hedge against traditional market instabilities.   In 2021, Bitcoin reached unprecedented heights, crossing the $60,000 mark, propelled by institutional acceptance, technological advancements, and an increasingly digital global economy. The Bitcoin boom highlighted its inherent volatility but also demonstrated its potential for high returns.   This recovery provides a valuable lesson to investors: while cryptocurrencies can experience significant drops, they also have the potential to rebound strongly, reflecting their volatile yet potentially rewarding nature.   Brandt's Current Warning and Why He's Concerned   Brandt's recent warning concerning Bitcoin signals his belief that history may repeat itself. He has noted the possibility of another 'parabolic advance' similar to the one seen before the 2018 crash. As we know, parabolic advances often precede significant market corrections. However, this time around, things are different. Bitcoin and the overall crypto market have matured significantly, with institutional acceptance, regulatory developments, and technical advancements.   Bitcoin has shown resilience despite previous market crashes and regulatory challenges, suggesting a robust underlying strength. It continues to evolve, adapting to changing market conditions and regulations and constantly improving its technology and network.   Nonetheless, Brandt's prediction serves as a reminder of Bitcoin's inherent volatility, whereas the price of Solana and other coins seems more stable. It should be seen as a word of caution for investors, reminding them to do their due diligence and consider risk management strategies when investing. The potential for high returns in Bitcoin comes with equally high risks.   Furthermore, a potential downturn in Bitcoin doesn't necessarily equate to a lack of faith in the technology behind it. Blockchain, the underlying technology of Bitcoin, has far-reaching potential beyond just cryptocurrency. It's set to revolutionize various industries, from finance and supply chain to healthcare and education, indicating a promising and enduring future regardless of Bitcoin's price volatility.   The Future of Bitcoin: A Word of Caution   While the cautionary advice of Peter Brandt carries weight, it isn't an indisputable indicator of an impending market crash. Like all financial spheres, Bitcoin's future is marked by unpredictability and uncertainties. Nevertheless, his alert serves as a pertinent reminder of the inherent risks associated with investing in cryptocurrencies.   Brandt's perspectives underscore the importance of investor education and exercising caution when dealing with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Given the potential for abrupt price swings in the market, investors are urged to conduct comprehensive research and assess their risk appetite before venturing into cryptocurrency investment.   Peter Brandt's story and his knack for accurate forecasts offer an essential lesson in prudence and rigorous examination in the unpredictable realm of crypto investing. While the potential for massive gains can be compelling, it's paramount to keep in mind the intrinsic risks tied to a market known for its swift fluctuations. As we navigate the future, Brandt's admonitions serve as a potent reminder to prospective investors: tread carefully, invest wisely, and always brace for unforeseen circumstances.

Globally, the real estate market is undergoing a profound transformation. Investors are flocking to a country that straddles two continents, drawing interest from both Europe and Asia. That country is Turkey, which has quickly become a global powerhouse in the construction sector. Turkey provides a richness that very few other countries can equal, from the historic grandeur of Istanbul to the magnificent Mediterranean beauty of Antalya.   Globally, the real estate market is undergoing a profound transformation. Investors are flocking to a country that straddles two continents, drawing interest from both Europe and Asia. That country is Turkey, which has quickly become a global powerhouse in the construction sector. Turkey provides a richness that very few other countries can equal, from the historic grandeur of Istanbul to the magnificent Mediterranean beauty of Antalya. Turkey's development benefits greatly from the dynamic interplay between its ancient and modern aspects. There are both old and new high-end homes in the area. Property for sale in Turkey reveals the country's unique blend of ancient and contemporary cultures. Luxurious beachfront mansions sit alongside hip urban apartments, demonstrating the breadth of the country's real estate market and its ability to meet the needs of investors. Property Turkey also provides enticing financial advantages. The Turkish government has made a number of moves to lure international investors. Attractive tax breaks and a path to citizenship are offered to entice foreign investors to put money into the country. Turkey's welcoming investment climate sets it apart from many other countries, making it more appealing to investors. Åžerif Nadi Varlı's Vartur Real Estate has been instrumental in promoting Turkey's real estate opportunities abroad. The company provides a full suite of services to help foreign investors navigate the complex Turkish real estate market. Comparatively, property prices in Turkey are much more affordable than they are in Western Europe or North America. Combined with the prospect of high rental returns and a rise in value, investing in Turkey is a tempting option. For example, the country's main metropolis, Istanbul (a desirable place to own property because of its flourishing economy, diverse culture, and long history), is a prime location for investors. Meanwhile, seaside areas like Antalya and Bodrum are trendy, particularly for second homes and retirement communities, thanks to their laid-back lifestyle and stunning natural beauty. Property for sale in Turkey is an enticing prospect, but savvy investors would not be foolish to overlook the country's warm Mediterranean climate, friendly locals, and fascinating history and culture. As a result of its rare combination of cultural wealth, state-of-the-art infrastructure, business-friendly environment, and abundance of available properties, Turkey is quickly becoming a global real estate powerhouse. The Turkish market is appealing to both seasoned investors and those thinking about investing in real estate for the first time. By working with experts like those at Vartur Real Estate, you can make smart investments in Turkish real estate that could bring about significant financial gains and an entirely new and exciting way of life. For many reasons, Turkey's real estate market is a shining example of success. The country's remarkable development in infrastructure stands out as one of its most distinctive features. The Turkish government has repeatedly shown its dedication to encouraging progress in vital areas like transportation, healthcare, and social infrastructure. By strategically investing in these areas, Turkey has strengthened its appeal and become an increasingly enticing destination for domestic and international investors.

Amidst the burgeoning NFT marketplace, cryptocurrencies like Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL) seem to stagnate, leading to a cynical outlook on their potential growth. On the flip side of the coin, GoldenCaskClub (GCC) – now in its first presale phase - is utilizing the NFT concept to trade tangible luxury consumables.   Cardano (ADA): Languishing Despite Promises? Despite its scientific approach to blockchain development, Cardano (ADA) seems frozen in time. Even as NFTs flourish, Cardano (ADA) appears to be marking time. With over 10,000 NFT projects on Cardano’s (ADA) blockchain, Cardano (ADA) itself is stagnating, a telling indictment on Cardano’s (ADA) capacity to capitalize on new technology.

This academic orientation might impede the project’s ability to adapt to the fast-paced crypto and NFT markets.   >>BUY GOLDENCASKCLUB TOKEN NOW<<     Solana (SOL): An Oasis or Mirage in the NFT Desert? Solana (SOL), renowned for its high speed and low fees, has not been immune to the general crypto market stagnation, despite Solana (SOL) playing host to umpteen thousand NFT projects. Firstly, Solana’s (SOL) network stability raises concerns about its reliability. This apprehension could affect Solana’s (SOL) standing among investors, especially compared to Ethereum’s dominance in the NFT market. Moreover, despite its technical potential, Solana (SOL) faces stiff competition. Ethereum and other high-performance blockchains are vying for the same space, adding pressure on Solana (SOL). While NFTs are plentiful, cryptocurrencies like Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL) seem caught in a bout of stagnation.

We recently had the opportunity to speak with an analyst from Squared Financial to discuss the current market situation. With the crypto market showing resilience and gaining 3.9% in the past 24 hours, reaching a capitalisation of $1.18 trillion, it has diverged from the downward trend seen in stock indices due to expectations of a rate hike.  Bitcoin, in particular, has experienced a surge of over 15% in just two days, revisiting the April highs. However, as we delve deeper into the market dynamics, doubts arise regarding the sustainability of the cryptocurrency rally amidst the challenging environment created by the stock indices.   FXMAG.COM: How will a mid-term Fed and ECB decision last week affect EUR/USD? The Federal Reserve delivered a hawkish pause. Markets were anticipating a pause with a possibility of one more rate hike in July followed by a rate cut by the end of the year. However, the Federal Reserve hinted at two more hikes and no rate cuts this year. Markets had to price in such a scenario. However, the ECB was more hawkish than the Federal Reserve, keeping the door open for further hikes on higher inflation expectations, sending the Euro over 1.09. In the meantime, the Dollar Index is showing signs that the downside trend has resumed. Yet it needs more time to confirm. Another weekly close below 102.60's would confirm that. On the other hand, this would be a confirmation that the Euro's upside trend has resumed as well, which could be targeting 1.11 within two weeks. FXMAG.COM: How will Thursday's (22.06) SNB interest rate decision affect CHF quotes? Switzerland's Core Inflation rate ticked below 2.0% in its latest release, which is the lowest core inflation rate since November of last year. The annual inflation rate in Switzerland eased to 2.2% in May 2023 from 2.6% in the previous month in line with market forecasts. There is no reason for any surprise by the Swiss National Bank. A 25bps is highly possible, but what matters the most is if the SNB hints at a pause. If so, CHF is likely to weaken. FXMAG.COM: Is there a chance that the U.S. SEC oversight will finally approve the application of some investment company to authorize the creation of an ETF with exposure to BTC, and how will that affect the price of this cryptocurrency and others? It is highly possible that the SEC will authorize crypto-related ETFs especially those with exposure to BTC. Despite all the headwinds the Crypto market had over the past few months, we saw some stabilization. Moreover, when it comes to the price and time method, it suggested that BTC ended its bear market back in March. The application of major investment companies sparked another wave of optimism, yet tough regulations are still needed.

In the dynamic world of financial markets, the interplay between macroeconomic data and central bank decisions can significantly impact various asset classes. We had the opportunity to speak with an FXPrimus expert to gain valuable insights into the current market situation and the influence of these factors on currency quotes, particularly the Turkish lira (TRY) and the British pound (GBP), as well as the broader effects on the US and European stock markets. FXMAG.COM: How will Thursday's (22.06) Turkish central bank's decision on interest rates affect TRY quotes? FXPrimus expert: The past rate cuts by Turkish President Erdogan led to a dramatic decline in the price of the Turkish lira, inflation hit 85.5% last year and as a result the overall cost of living of the country had dramatically increased . In a big U-turn, the central bank of Turkey is expected to increase interest rates to 20% to target the negative impacts of a rising inflation and attract investors to its currency.   FXMAG.COM: How will Thursday's (22.06) Bank of England interest rate decision affect GBP quotes? FXPrimus expert: The Market is already pricing in an interest rate hike from the Bank of England and given that CPI data on the 21st of June was higher than expected and at 8.7%, the BoE has no other choice but to act. More interest rate hikes will be expected after this one to target inflation but this will have negative effect on other aspects of the economy i.e. Bank crisis   FXMAG.COM: In the mid-term, how will last week's Fed and ECB decisions affect the US and European stock markets? FXPrimus expert: As interest rates increase, stock investors become unwilling to trade stock prices as the value for future earnings becomes less attractive against bonds which have a higher yield today, the FED have paused interest rate hikes but it remains to be seen in the upcoming economic data releases whether they will change course. The ECB has slowed the pace at which the interest rates where increased however they have indicated that more hikes are yet to come.

In the wake of 10 consecutive interest rate hikes, it is high time for the markets to embrace a more positive outlook. The Powell-led committee's aggressive pursuit of raising benchmark rates, although necessary, has cast a shadow of pessimism over financial markets, potentially overshadowing the remarkable achievements of industry pioneers. Throughout history, monetary policy has proven to be a valuable tool for achieving financial stabilization in economies. The United States has faced its fair share of hardships in recent times, including a prevailing sense of distrust toward local banks and the adverse ripple effects of the debt ceiling conundrum. These challenges have been further exacerbated by soaring nationwide inflation, which has also left its mark on the cryptocurrency market.   It has been 15 months since the Federal Reserve decided to pause the rate hikes, indicating a momentary respite for the nation's monetary defenses. During this time, cryptocurrencies have displayed a bullish trend when examined from a long-term perspective. While current market conditions may appear to be in the red, they could potentially serve as necessary corrections following the rapid price surges witnessed in the crypto asset space. The Federal Reserve's monetary policy is operating as intended, with continuous and comprehensive assessments of economic conditions. Crucially, these assessments should consider the implications not only for industry leaders but also for everyday households. Adopting a bottom-up approach may yield insightful findings regarding the broader impact of monetary policy decisions.   FXMAG.COM: Could you please comment on the FOMC decision? It’s about time for markets to see the brighter side of day after 10 straight interest rate hikes. The Powell-led committee has been on a frenzy of aggressive benchmark rate increases – while necessary – has infected financial markets with pessimism, and that can overshadow the successes and feats of industry pioneers. Monetary policy has historically served as a very useful tool for achieving economy financial stabilization, and the United States economy has been susceptible to quite the hardship in recent times. The distrustful sentiment towards local banks and the adverse ripple effect of the debt ceiling conundrum had been exacerbated with scorching nation-wide inflation. That has also had its impact on the crypto market. It has been 15 months since the Fed decided to pause the rate hikes, which perhaps is an indication that the nation’s monetary defenses are taking a breather. Since the start of the year, cryptocurrencies have been very bullish when putting on the long-term lenses. While contemporary market conditions are more in the red, they potentially serve as corrections to the recent sharp price bumps in crypto assets. The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy is doing as it should, given continuous extensive assessment of economic conditions. What’s pivotal here is the conditions to be assessed, which in my perspective should take into consideration the implications on industry leaders but also those on everyday households; a bottom-up approach may present quite the insightful findings.  

The European Central Bank (ECB) has recently made a surprising shift in its approach towards financial stability, signaling a departure from its historically dovish stance. This decision, prompted by the challenges posed by inflation, has significant implications for both the performance of individual economies and the overall prosperity of the European Union.   In this article, we had the opportunity to discuss the ECB's decision with Petr Ševčík, an analyst from BITMarkets, who shared valuable insights into the repercussions of this move. BITMarkets, a platform that has been closely monitoring the rise of cryptocurrency trading in Europe, has observed increased trading activity in this sector since the beginning of the year. Cryptocurrencies, known for their volatility, have gained attention as a potential refuge in times of economic uncertainty and hardship. As inflationary pressures continue to burden traditional industries such as housing and banking, some investors are turning to alternative assets like cryptocurrencies.   The impact of the ECB's decision is already being felt across various sectors, with construction and materials stocks experiencing a 0.8% drop and bank stocks dwindling by 0.7%. These developments are a natural consequence of higher borrowing costs, leading to a slowdown in loan growth. However, amidst these challenges, there are signs of resilience in certain areas. Media stocks, for instance, enjoyed a 0.7% upside following the news, indicating that the markets may begin to respond more favorably to individual performance rather than being solely influenced by widespread conditions.    FXMAG.COM: Could you please comment on the ECB decision?   It's crystal clear that the reluctant ECB is that of the past. Historically known for adopting a very dovish approach towards financial stability of the bloc by avoiding sharp interest hikes, its decision to bump rates again highlights the struggles caused by inflation which are burdening the performance of individual economies and corporations and the livelihood of individuals; on a macro scale, this has been hindering the prosperity of the European Union for a daunting lengthy period. BITmarkets has witnessed the rise of crypto trading since the start of the year, and a notable portion of increased trading activity has stemmed from Europe. Cryptocurrency assets are volatile and always have been, but they have been regarded as refuge by some in times of economic uncertainty and hardship. What's apparent is that the housing industry and the banking sector are among the industries which are being damaged the most, with construction and materials stocks dropping 0.8% and bank stocks dwindling 0.7% following the news. From a wider perspective, this is only natural as borrowing costs increased which attributes the slowdown of growth in loans.  While the news was not taken very lightly as the continent's most popular indices shed their prices, I don't project much more dismay for Europe with regards to economic stability. Media stocks enjoyed a 0.7% upside and that speaks a thousand words. Inflation is cooling down and markets may begin to behave based on performance rather than being continuously-succumbed to widespread conditions. The European financial market has been a victim of calamitous market conditions for years, but the latest ECB move is one that can ultimately bring the EU out of its shell.

More and more demolitions in Warsaw One can see with the naked eye an increasing number of demolitions of commercial buildings in Poland. The value of older structures situated on attractive urban land is often lower than that of undeveloped plots. Investors are especially eager to buy such properties, when it is possible to obtain a permit for the construction of a modern facility with a larger usable floor space. Strict ESG standards and the need to adapt decades-old buildings to current environmental norms associated with sustainable development, as well as the desire to reduce maintenance and operating costs, also motivate changes and modernization of properties. Market participants are wondering how many more demolitions will occur in the near future, since even twenty-something-year-old buildings are disappearing from the landscape of Warsaw, such as: - Atrium International from 1995 will be replaced by the over 130-meter Upper One skyscraper and a 55-meter hotel - Empark Mokotów Business Park is being redeveloped by Echo Investment and will be partially replaced with new residential buildings - the unfinished EuRoPol Gaz office building is already being demolished, Dom Development will develop residential buildings in this area - Multikino Ursynów (building from 1999) was acquired by GH Development from Belgium; the new owner has announced the construction of a mixed-use building with about 300 apartments    Regional cities are not falling behind either Echo Investment is also preparing a project using demolition in Lodz. At 127 Kilińskiego Street, in the place of an old tenement house, the investor is currently constructing a residential-hotel building. There will be about 290 residential units for short-term or subscription rental. Strabag Real Estate, in turn, has obtained permission to build 40,000 square meters of space on the site of the Plaza Gallery in Kraków, which is earmarked for demolition. The company is planning to develop a mixed-use project on the plot. Meanwhile, the former Impel office building, which stood at Ślężna Street, disappeared from the map of Wrocław. In its place, Develia started the construction of a residential complex with commercial premises. These are just a few examples of demolition and new development projects in Polish regional cities.   No-demolition option An alternative to demolitions is converting the existing buildings and changing their functions. Such actions are undoubtedly more environmentally friendly, as the carbon footprint associated with demolitions and constructing new structures is significantly higher. Avison Young's team of technical advisors has had the opportunity to analyze office buildings several times in terms of converting them into residential buildings, without the need for demolition. It turns out that it is not that difficult as it may seem, given the existing technical conditions. It is certainly much easier to change the functional use of office buildings to residential than the other way around.   Live loads  Based on the proposed structure and assumed service loads, according to the PN-EN 1991-1-1 standard for residential buildings, it is recommended to assume a load of 2 kN/m², while for office buildings, a load of 3 kN/m² is typically considered. Therefore, when changing the use of a building, there is a load capacity reserve for the floor slabs that can be utilized as needed.   Higher ceilings According to the current technical conditions, the minimum ceiling height for workspaces intended for more than 4 people is 3 meters, while the minimum height for residential rooms is 2.5 meters. Planned apartments can, therefore, have higher ceilings, which is desirable in the market and also allows for more space for the sub-ceiling installations.   The question of daylight  - One technical challenge that can be observed is related to the dimensions of office buildings. Most office spaces are designed as open space areas and rely on extensive glazing to provide daylighting throughout the space. However, when converting such buildings into residential units, it is necessary to consider the architectural possibilities to ensure compliance with technical requirements, including adequate daylighting. This typically involves maintaining a ratio of window area to floor area of 1:8. Any changes in the layout require a careful and thoughtful approach to ensure that the residential units are both functional and well-lit. – says Przemysław Kłopocki, Project Manager (Building Aspects), Technical Advisory & Project Management at Avison Young. The current regulations for transmission coefficients of the building envelope have been tightened significantly over the past years. When planning a change in the functional use of an existing office building with extensive glazing, consideration must be given to potential modifications or upgrades to minimize the building's energy consumption due to heat losses through the external walls and windows.   Closed windows When planning a change of use from office to residential, it is important to consider that many existing office buildings have non-operable windows, which necessitates the use of mechanical ventilation. Ventilation issues can be addressed by partially adapting the existing systems to meet the needs of future residents, taking into account the anticipated lower occupancy density of the building.   The biggest challenges - Adapting to the remaining sanitary needs becomes the most challenging. – says Karolina Hytroś, Project Manager (Sanitary Installations), Technical Advisory & Project Management at Avison Young. – Office buildings often have a single sanitary riser located in the core of the building, and it is necessary to expand the installation with numerous new supply pipes for bathrooms and kitchens in residential units. Additionally, the heating and cooling system is typically based on freon or glycol systems utilizing fan coil units, which may pose challenges in reusing them within the new functional layout of the floors. - The electrical installation also requires adaptation; it is necessary to expand telecommunication installations enabling television reception, Internet access, and efficient access control. - adds Kamil Olechniewicz, Project Manager (Electrical Installations), Technical Advisory & Project Management at Avison Young. Due to fire safety regulations in residential buildings, it is usually necessary to implement an extended fire alarm system. However, these challenges do not prevent the building from being adapted for residential use.   Summary Changing the use from office to residential in terms of technical aspects should not be problematic in many cases. However, it is important to consider that maintaining the desired level of Usable Floor Area (UFA) can be challenging. This may result in a lower profitability compared to a typical multifamily residential building, where every square meter is utilized almost 100% efficiently in the planning process. - However, it is worth considering that older office buildings often differ significantly in terms of standards from modern and energy-efficient Class A office buildings. In this respect, converting them to a residential function may be more profitable than continuing to maintain increasingly less attractive and difficult-to-lease office space. - says Tomasz Daniecki, Director, Head of Technical Advisory at Avison Young. Especially since older office buildings are usually located in well-connected areas, which is often a key aspect for residents when choosing a place to live. Such locations often fit into the concept of the "15-minute city," which is gaining increasing popularity lately.  

Demolition or redevelopment? Older buildings are making way for new ones, and the trend of redeveloping plots in the centers of large cities in Poland is intensifying. Furthermore, the plans include not only new development projects that arise after demolitions but also transforming existing office buildings into residential projects, including those in PRS (Private Rented Sector) formula.   The huge demand in the rental housing market in Poland, coupled with a gradual increase in rental rates amidst a significant housing shortage, is encouraging investors to undertake further projects in the PRS formula. Paradoxically, the geopolitical and macroeconomic situation, including war in Ukraine, is also conducive to the development of such investments, as it generates additional potential tenants. Above all, the Polish market still offers the opportunity to achieve higher investment returns than the Western European market. According to Avison Young experts, the value of transactions closed in 2022 could be estimated at 150 million euros, and cumulatively from 2014, it reached 325 million euros. However, the true dynamics of the sector is reflected in volume of forward funding transactions. Only in the years 2021-2022, according to Avison Young's analysis, it amounted to 700 million euros.   Investors' announcements indicate that the plans for the upcoming years include the construction of another ~ 25,000 apartments for rent in Poland. PRS investments are mainly taking place in the largest cities in the country, with 40% of the currently active PRS stock, totaling 12,500 apartments, located in Warsaw. Over 13,000 units are currently under construction, with approximately 4,500 expected to be delivered this year. However, it is still not enough considering the demand.   Land at a premium A serious obstacle to the development of residential investments is the shortage of available land in attractive areas of the largest Polish cities. As a result, investors are seeking alternative solutions, such as acquiring parcels with older buildings that can be adapted to new functions or demolished. The trend of real estate conversions is intensifying on the market.   The advantage of investments based on demolition or modernization of existing facilities is shorter administrative procedures, which do not require road approvals or participation in the construction of the surrounding infrastructure.   - The number of inquiries regarding analyses of the possibility of adapting existing commercial properties for new purposes is increasing. In such cases, our team evaluates, among other things, the profitability of the investment, considering options of demolishing older office buildings or transforming them into PRSs. When planning such actions, investors seek well-located, easy accessible office buildings, with a rich offering of gastronomy and services in the vicinity.   The profitability analysis of the investment indicates the direction for further investor’s actions. Functionally and technically worn-out office buildings generate lower income and are less attractive to tenants compared to modern office buildings that additionally meet ESG requirements. Therefore, it is often more cost-effective to consider a new function for the building, demolish or convert it into a product tailored to the current market's needs. – says Monika Bronicka, Head of Valuation and Advisory at Avison Young.    

Polish market after 5 months - where are we at? We are approaching the halfway point of 2023. Before the semi-annual investment market reports are released, Avison Young is sharing the current results.     Market adaptability The current results do not look much optimistic. However, this is a temporary state. Poland’s real estate market has stable foundations, and investors are highly adaptable, which is confirmed by the results achieved in previous years. Let's take a quick look at how the market has responded to the challenges emerging in the last 3 years. COVID-19 had a huge impact on the economy and customers behaviour, which naturally translated into the real estate market and investors’ activity. In the face of restrictions and the growing importance of staying local, customers more often chose “convenience retail” than shopping centres; home office and the hybrid work model developed. The growing pandemic boosted e-commerce (according to the Statistics Poland, the share of online shopping doubled in just two months from 5.6% in January and February 2020 to nearly 12% in April 2020), which in turn influenced the dynamic development of the industrial sector. However, investors relatively quickly adapted to the new conditions, and the total investment volume in 2020 amounted to EUR 5.3 billion and EUR 5.9 billion in 2021. Certainly, these results were lower than the volumes from 2018 and 2019, but they secured the 3rd and 4th highest position in terms of volume in the history of the market. In 2020, investors focused on “core” office buildings, warehouse portfolios and retail parks. In 2021, we saw record market liquidity (166 transactions) and - due to the prolonged period of the pandemic – a shift in investors' attention to opportunistic transactions in shopping centres and office buildings.   In 2022, the outbreak of war in Ukraine triggered further market turmoil, record high inflation, rising interest rates and escalating investment uncertainty. Nevertheless, this challenging year ended with a volume close to 2021’s (5.8 billion), which once again confirmed the maturity and liquidity of Polish real estate market. During the noticeable slowdown and the wait-and-see strategy adopted by investors, the market saw 5 historically large transactions accounting for 40% of the total investment volume, including the sale of prime Warsaw office buildings (The Warsaw Hub and Generation Park Y), the first since 2018 major prime shopping centre transaction (Forum Gdańsk), the sale of Danica warehouse portfolio and the creation of two JVs by EPP. For comparison, the decline in transaction volumes compared to 2021 in Western Europe reached an average of nearly 20%, and in the region of Central and Eastern Europe less than 3%.   In 2022, investors turned their attention to regional markets outside the main cities, which applied to all real estate sectors. Office buildings in the regions accounted for 68% of transactions and 50% of the total volume on the office market. In the industrial sector, 40% of the volume concerned facilities outside the largest warehouse hubs. Transactions of shopping centres in medium-sized cities appeared on the retail market, but new players continued to focus on safe retail parks.   Current status We are estimating that the volume of closed transactions announced publicly from the beginning of this year to the end of May, amounted to only around EUR 800 million. For comparison, in 2021 and 2022, the volume of transactions in the same period amounted to over twice as much. There were no historically large transactions, which in the first quarter of 2022 (The Warsaw Hub, EPP’s two joint venture investments) alone accounted for 75% of the total volume. Nevertheless, compared to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, we still remain the most attractive and liquid market.   Offices slowed down On the office market, only 7 transactions were concluded during this period, concerning “core +” and opportunistic buildings located in Warsaw, outside the city centre. Avison Young investment team represented the seller in the divestment of Celebro and Wola Retro buildings.   Sale & leaseback at warehouses Since the beginning of the year, the dominance of the western regions in terms of location, mainly Lower Silesia, is clearly visible in the industrial sector. In turn, in the last 2 months, sale & leaseback transactions prevailed. Portfolio transactions are yet to be recorded.   Retail parks decelerate In the first 5 months of 2023, only one retail park transaction was completed and announced. In the first quarter, opportunistic smaller shopping centres and redevelopment schemes were the most popular. An example of such a transaction may be the sale of 4 commercial facilities portfolio located in Koszalin, Szczecin, Wałbrzych and Strzegom, where the Avison Young team represented the seller. In turn, in the last 2 months, the subjects of the announced transactions were large-format retail properties: 3W portfolio and Castorama in Płock.   Strategies of banks and strategies of buyers “One of the reasons for the reduced number of transactions and volume in the first 5 months of 2023, is that the process of adjusting price expectations on the seller-buyer line is still ongoing. However, we can see the first signs indicating that this situation may improve by the end of the year - says Marcin Purgal, Senior Director, Investment at Avison Young. - Banks, although still very selective, are analysing new financing products more and more efficiently. The situation related to interest rates seems to be quite predictable, inflation is slowing down, but it still takes time for the market to stabilize and get back on track. Currently, many buyers are trying to take advantage of the market situation and place bids far below property valuations, hoping to get a good deal. However, many sellers are in no rush to sell. That changes when the seller has to liquidate the fund, funding runs out, the property stops performing, or someone fails.”   What awaits us in the second half of the year? We expect that in the second half of the year, the commercial real estate market in Poland will be dominated by opportunistic and “value add” assets in every sector. Nevertheless, the best office buildings, whether in Warsaw or in major regional cities, as well as warehouses, should also be of interest to investors.   Authors: Paulina Brzeszkiewicz-Kuczyńska (Research and Data Manager) and Marcin Purgal (Senior Director, Investment)

Hong Kong Opens Limited Crypto Market — Here’s Why HK Investors Might Buy ASI During Its Presale As one of Asia’s leading financial hubs, the move to open up retail crypto trading in Hong Kong has been widely celebrated in the crypto space. One project, in particular, seems bound to be high on the priority list for many of Hong Kong’s crypto investors. Known as AltSignals, its ASI presale has already attracted thousands of investors from across the globe. Hong Kong opens up retail crypto market  While developments in the crypto market have been relatively quiet lately, Hong Kong’s announcement that it’ll allow retail investors to trade cryptocurrencies has lifted spirits. Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission announced on the 23rd May that it’d begin accepting applications from retail-facing crypto exchanges in June, paving the way for the city to become one of Asia’s foremost crypto hubs.   This contrasts with mainland China, where digital assets are banned, although some have speculated that this may lead to a softened stance on crypto from the nation in the coming years. While Hong Kong’s crypto market will remain limited compared to other jurisdictions, it’s likely that the city’s renewed interest could drive interest toward AltSignals’ ongoing ASI presale.  What is AltSignals? Established in 2017, AltSignals has made a name for itself as a trusted provider of real-time trading signals. With an impressive user base of over 50,000 free subscribers and 1,500+ VIP members, the platform has consistently demonstrated its expertise across the crypto, forex, and stock markets, delivering outstanding returns.    What sets AltSignals apart from your average signal provider is its blend of proprietary technology and a team of seasoned traders. AltAlgo, AltSignals’ in-house trading algorithm that constantly scans the market, has helped the platform to achieve a 64% win rate over 3,700+ signals sent — a truly remarkable achievement.    This success has translated to huge gains for AltSignals’ users. In February 2023, for example, its Binance Futures signals returned 2,163% with an accuracy of 90%.   Consequently, AltSignals has earned the loyalty of its members. Boasting a 4.9 out of 5 star rating on Trustpilot from over 500 reviews, AltSignals has established a reputation for reliability and quality in the trading signals market. This strong foundation sets the stage for AltSignals' next venture: the introduction of ActualizeAI and the ASI token.    ActualizeAI and ASI token: AI-powered trading technology   Following its prior success, AltSignals is now looking to take AltAlgo to the next level with the launch of ActualizeAI. This move will fuse AltAlgo’s existing capabilities with cutting-edge AI trading technology, designed to elevate AltSignals’ win rate from 64% to 80%+.    Harnessing the power of the latest machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) techniques, ActualizeAI aims to uncover subtle patterns and trends in the markets unseen to the human eye, offering traders a unique edge over the competition and a significant chance of making some serious gains.   So where does the ASI token fit into all of this? For starters, owning more than 50,000 ASI means that investors are granted lifetime access to the existing AltAlgo signals and the upcoming ActualizeAI system.    Holding ASI also places investors in the AI Members Club, a vibrant community where members can exchange ideas, test new features, and interact with the team behind ActualizeAI. They can even earn extra ASI tokens for giving feedback and helping to improve ActualizeAI, opening up a new revenue stream for ASI investors.   Beyond these benefits, ASI also opens doors to a wide range of additional opportunities, like being the first to know about red hot presales (as identified by ActualizeAI’s sentiment analysis engine), exclusive trading tournaments, and a say in the platform’s future direction. With the ASI presale still underway, it’s likely that AltSignals’ innovative plans and proven track record are likely to attract considerable attention from the bubbling Hong Kong crypto market. Could the Hong Kong crypto market expansion boost ASI? Hong Kong's recent decision to open its doors to retail cryptocurrency trading has undoubtedly made waves in the crypto market, creating a ripple of anticipation that's hard to ignore. Hong Kong, a city-state known for innovation, is expected to embrace AltSignals and the ASI presale with open arms.   In fact, it’s this innovation that’s driving many analysts to expect good things from the ASI presale and beyond. Currently priced at $0.015 in the stage 1 of presale, some experts believe that ASI could soar as high as $0.40 by the end of 2023, especially considering ASI’s existing legion of loyal fans that are flooding into ASI at breakneck speed.  The bottom line As Hong Kong's crypto market begins to take shape, the ASI presale stands out as a golden opportunity for those seeking to capitalize on the extra demand crypto assets will see. AltSignals, with its proven track record, the introduction of ActualizeAI, and the immense potential of the ASI token, is perfectly positioned to make a significant splash in this new era of retail crypto trading.    With the demand for ASI projected to surge in the next few weeks, it's a chance investors won’t want to miss. Now might just be the perfect time to get involved and tap into the incredible opportunity that the ASI presale presents.   You can participate in the AltSignals presale here.

As the financial world eagerly awaits the release of Shell's earnings report, industry analysts are speculating on the implications it may have for the overall market. 2022 was undoubtedly a triumphant year for oil giants, with companies like Shell, Chevron, and Saudi Aramco witnessing substantial profits. Meanwhile, other sectors, including cryptocurrencies, struggled to navigate a landscape characterized by geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures, and hesitant market sentiment.   However, the early months of 2023 have brought about a shift in the market dynamics, particularly for the oil industry. While the year started on a relatively stable note, oil prices have been trending downwards, influenced by geopolitical unrest and accompanying supply restrictions. Yet, there have been some counterbalancing factors, such as increased exports from Russia and growing economic activity worldwide, which have propelled demand above supply, providing some respite to the industry.   Despite the changing market landscape, Shell has managed to stay resilient and has delivered exceptional financial results for the first quarter. Surpassing analyst expectations, the company recorded a blockbuster quarter, reporting profits of nearly $10 billion—an impressive increase of over 20% compared to the previous year. Furthermore, Shell's earnings per share (EPS) soared by more than 30%, showcasing their ability to capitalize on the market opportunities presented even in the face of challenging conditions.   One of the key factors contributing to Shell's success has been its strategic focus on fuel trading and optimization, allowing them to navigate weakening oil and gas prices effectively. However, looking ahead, the company anticipates potential challenges in the coming quarters. The United States, as the world's largest oil producer and consumer, is currently grappling with banking instability and concerns surrounding debt defaults, which could pose a threat to Shell and its counterparts in the industry.   Furthermore, weakening demand from China, the world's second-largest oil consumer, adds another layer of concern for the oil industry. Although Shell's stature as a seasoned and behemoth corporation suggests that they will weather these challenges, it is unlikely to be a smooth journey.   In this article, we delve deeper into the factors that have influenced Shell's remarkable first-quarter performance and explore the potential obstacles that lie ahead for the company. By consulting industry experts and analyzing market trends, we aim to gain valuable insights into how Shell and its peers will navigate the evolving landscape and continue to thrive in an increasingly complex global energy market.     Could you please comment on Shell earnings after they're released? 2022 has been a champion of a year for oil giants, while the other corners of the financial market, including cryptocurrencies, were in dismay. Kingpins like Shell, Chevron and Saudi Aramco have basked in profits as commodity prices inflated due to supply constraints caused by geopolitical issues and wide inflationary pressures, and demand inhibitors characterized by high investor and consumer pessimism alongside reluctancy of businesses to expand and innovate.   2023 seems to have relieved the prospects of prosperity. The first months were somewhat stable for oil, but trending downwardly. Geopolitical unrest and the sanctions that came with it limited supply, but rising exports from Russia and growing activity around the world has re-calibrated demand above supply, and prices took a breather.   While 2023 had a different demeanor, Shell remained on its heels and recorded a blockbuster of a quarter, beating analyst expectations with almost $10 billion in first quarter profit; more than a 20% upside on a year-to-year basis with EPS propelling by over 30%. That is quite impressive given the ultra-attractive market conditions of 2022.   Fuel trading and optimization have balanced weakening oil and gas prices. The coming quarters might be a little challenging, however. The U.S. is under some heat amid banking instability and debt default conundrums, and this may pose a threat to Shell and other oil pioneers as the nation is the world’s largest oil producer and consumer.   Not just that, but weakening demand in China, the world’s second largest oil consumer, is also bad news for the oil industry. I believe that a seasoned, behemothic corporation like Shell would overcome these challenges, but not necessarily with ease.

In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrencies, understanding the intricacies and implications of this transformative technology is crucial. To shed light on this subject, we had the opportunity to speak with Eric Heinemann, the Head of Web3 for the Central European business at Chainalysis. With his expertise in supporting companies on their Web3 journey, Eric Heinemann provides valuable insights into the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies and the pivotal role that Chainalysis plays in promoting trust and transparency within the industry.   According to Heinemann, cryptocurrencies have been gaining immense popularity in recent years due to their ability to open up new markets and foster a fairer and more integrated global economy. However, to fully harness the potential of this technology, greater trust and transparency are necessary. This is where Chainalysis, the blockchain data platform, comes into play. By providing compliance and investigation tools, Chainalysis empowers banks, businesses, and governments to navigate the cryptocurrency landscape confidently, enabling the digital economy to thrive securely. Speaker: Eric Heinemann, Head of Web3 CEMEA, Chainalysis       Could you please introduce yourself? What do you do at Chainalysis? My name is Eric Heinemann and I'm the Head of Web3 for the Central European business at Chainalysis, where I'm supporting big and renowned companies on their Web3 journey.   Why are cryptocurrencies gaining popularity in recent years? Cryptocurrencies have already opened up new markets and made the global economy bigger, fairer, and more deeply integrated. We're only seeing the beginning of what this transformative technology has to offer. But cryptocurrency needs greater trust and transparency to realize its full potential. That's where Chainalysis comes in. We need to develop clearer regulations, establish standard audit practices, and implement powerful compliance controls for cryptocurrency to sustain its current growth and integrate into the global financial infrastructure. By helping make that vision a reality with our compliance and investigation tools, Chainalysis gives banks, businesses, and governments the confidence and knowledge they need to help this new digital economy thrive.     When was Chainalysis created? What problems does it solve? Chainalysis was founded in 2015, by Michael Gronager (CEO), Jonathan Levin (CSO) and Jan Moller. Chainalysis is the blockchain data platform. We provide data, software, services, and research to government agencies, exchanges, financial institutions, and insurance and cybersecurity companies in over 70 countries. Our data platform powers investigation, compliance, and risk management tools that have been used to solve some of the world's most high-profile cyber criminal cases and grow consumer access to cryptocurrency safely. Our mission is to build trust in blockchains to promote more financial freedom with less risk.   What are your 2023 and 2024 plans? We are building for a future where all value transacts on blockchains. The internet made the distribution of information instant and universal, and cryptocurrencies will do that for value. The public sector will play an even more important role in the success of crypto's future, and we are continuing to double down on our government business. Last year we launched Chainalysis Government Solutions, a Chainalysis subsidiary with the capabilities to serve U.S. defense, intelligence, law enforcement, and civilian agencies. We're continuing to expand the range of solutions we provide to law enforcement, national security agencies, and regulators. On the private sector side, we've largely solved many of the concerns around AML risk by showing that because cryptocurrency is inherently transparent, exchanges armed with the right data and tools can run very effective compliance programs. In the aftermath of recent collapses, regulators and financial institutions also want to assess counterparty risk. In other words, how can they measure the financial health of individual cryptocurrency businesses and their exposure to potential systemic risks? Many of these questions can be addressed with on-chain data and analysis and we are exploring opportunities there. We believe the strongest companies in crypto are built during downturns. We are bullish on crypto native & TradFi growth and continuing innovation.   Do you pay your employees in cryptocurrency? Or normally in FIAT currencies? Employees are paid in FIAT.   Have you gone through any funding rounds? Do you have any more planned? In May 2022, Chainalysis, announced a $170 million Series F financing led by GIC, bringing its valuation to $8.6 billion. Previous investors Accel, Blackstone, Dragoneer, and FundersClub increased their investment in the company, and the Bank of New York Mellon and Emergence Capital also participated. At the moment we don't have any funding rounds planned.

The technology industry is currently going through a challenging period. The financial results of companies in this sector are noticeably worse than they were a year ago. However, NVIDIA seems to be relatively resilient to market turbulence. The company has released its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.   Although the overall results are worse than they were 12 months ago, there is a visible quarterly growth. The question remains whether this trend will continue in the near future. The first quarter of fiscal year 2024 ended on April 30th.   According to the published data, NVIDIA recorded revenues of $7.19 billion during this period. This represents a 13% decrease compared to the same period last year and a 19% increase compared to the previous quarter. At the same time, the company achieved a GAAP net income of $2.04 billion. For the Non-GAAP comparison, it amounted to $2.71 billion.   These figures are interesting when compared to previous financial results. In the case of GAAP, there was a 26% increase in profit compared to the same period last year, while for Non-GAAP, it decreased by 21%. Both cases showed growth compared to the previous quarter, with increases of 44% and 25% respectively. We would like to hear the commentary on this matter from HFM Market Analyst, Marco Turatti.     Could you please comment on Nvidia earnings after they're released? Nvidia presented extraordinary results for Q1 2023, which far exceeded analysts' expectations on Wall Street, as well as a very strong outlook, and soared +25% in after-hours trading on the wings of its dominant position in GPU chips for AI. It added $220 billion in market cap in 1 hour, becoming the sixth largest company in the US500 and surpassing the value of all its US competitors combined (AMD, Intel, Micron).   Adjusted EPS was $1.09 versus 92 cents expected; Revenues was $7.19 billion, versus $6.52 billion expected. Sales of $11B exceeded the $7.5B forecast by 50%, with $4.28B coming from the Data Center business. Performance was driven by demand for its GPU chips from cloud vendors as well as from companies developing big LLM models like OpenAI (and many others).   Nvidia chief Jensen Huang said that the development of AI applications puts Nvidia in a prime position for a 10 year cycle at least. But he also warned of the risks of huge damage that could ensue from the US tensions with China, a market that ''cannot be replaced'' and will grow four times (up to 178 B Yuan) over the next four years, including for projects related to smart cities and edge computing.   One has to look between the lines to find some blemishes in the earnings reported: the gaming division reported a 38% drop in revenue while the automotive division grew 114% yoy but remains small at $300 million. One of the ''biggest problems'' right now are the financial ratios: NVIDIA has a Price to Sales of 29.4x, the most expensive of any US stock in front of MSFT at 11.5x (US500 average is 2.4) and a Price to Earnings Ratios of 182, second only to AMZN and 10 times higher than the US500 average (24). With an expected opening on 26/05 at $380, NVDIA is at an all-time high and looks rather expensive despite its excellent prospects.           Marco Turatti – HFM Market Analyst  After working for about 10 years in institutional trading rooms across Europe, Marco entered the FX sector as an analyst leveraging his knowledge of the financial markets. With a degree in Economics, from 2007 onwards he has constantly -and sometimes obsessively- studied and improved his trading and risk management techniques through active and direct investments. He is a firm believer in the need to know completely the securities one is dealing with, to always have a plan B ready, to build a macro view from which to derive the micro plan of action and -above all- to be strict with the rules one has set oneself, without taking anything personally.

BUY(PREVIOUS: ACCUMULATE)TARGET PRICE 39.2 PLN19 MAY 2023, 13:00 CESTWe raise our target price for the company's shares to PLN 39.2/share. As a result of the downward macroeconomic situation in 2022, the cost of doing business increased significantly, resulting in a considerable decline in earnings in the period. However, it should be noted that despite the significant increase in the USD exchange rate, the company maintained its gross profit margin on sales at a high level. This indicator continues to record satisfactory values, which is why we are raising our forecast for its level in the long term from 60,8% to 61,2%. This is the main reason for the significant increase in the target price. We expect that after the stabilization of SG&A costs and with further growth in revenues, the company has growth potential in the medium and long term. At the same time, sales revenue forecasts have been raised. In 2022, the company made a number of investments in the online channel - primarily the opening of new, more transparent websites and the launch of a mobile application, resulting in high online sales growth. Entering the Zalando platform in Germany turned out to be a very good decision, so now the company is working on launching sales through this channel in Austria and Switzerland. In addition, there are plans to open stationary stores in the Serbian market, with the first stores expected to open in 2023. Marketing activities, especially the introduction of TV commercials, which contributed to an increase in the number of customers in 2H'22, also have a positive impact on sales. The creation of the Vosedo multibrand platform, in our opinion, will not have a significant impact on the group's operations in the short term. Once the agreement with Oponeo.pl is terminated, it will be counted as one of the company's online stores, while visible support for online sales in our opinion will still have to wait. In 2022, a serious problem for the company was the increase in SG&A costs. We expect the current year to bring a deceleration of these dynamics. Management costs will continue to be burdened by expenditures on the development of RFiD technology - the first autonomous stationary salon is expected to be built by the end of the year. According to our estimates, in 2023, outlays for this project should oscillate around PLN 4.5 million, while we estimate the subsidy for this project at over PLN 3.5 million. In line with management's announcements, we expect inventory levels to decline in 1H’23. Increased inventory due to problems in supply chains and the rise of Vosedo does not seem to be justified in the current situation.

The strength of Pointpack’s core underlying parcel volumes (51% y/y in 1Q23) is unlikely to go unnoticed by the market. The result should relate to a significant improvement in the effectiveness of PUDO (Pick Up/Drop Off) points. We believe there is room for further operational improvements that may allow the firm to post decent growth in core volumes of 32%/26% in both 2023E/2024E (vs. 23%/24% we previously assumed) and to largely offset the increased cost pressures in the core business. Within the P2A unit, on the other hand, we push half of hardware deliveries from 2023E to 2024E, due to the probable delay in the realization of the Polish Post contract. This mainly affects our projections for 2023E/2024E consolidated results and affects the multiple angle in 2023E/2024E to 5.3.x/2.6x EV/EBITDA, but does not greatly alter our view on the P2A unit based on projected weak NPV for the project. Overall, we lower our consolidated 2023E EBITDA forecast from PLN 22.8m to PLN 14.5m, while we raise our forecast from PLN 15.4m to PLN 22.6m for 2024E. We maintain our base-case scenario of no extension of the P2A contract with Polish Post, hence we still expect to see the first dividend in 2024E, with a dividend payment of PLN 5.51ps (DY 13.7%). With our continued positive outlook on the core business, we maintain a BUY rating and set our FV at PLN 70.00ps (versus PLN 65.00ps previously), which implies 75% upside.

The delay will result primarily in lower recognized EBITDA from the contract in 2023E (we cut our estimate to PLN 7.0m from PLN 14.4m), effectively increasing the 2024E contribution (we forecast PLN 8.9m versus PLN 3.1m previously).Booming parcel volumes. The volume of parcels handled by PUDO points within Pointpack’s network grew by 51% y/y in 1Q23 after estimated growth of around 45% y/y in 4Q22 and reported 37%/29%/11% y/y growth in 3Q22/2Q22/1Q22 respectively; although 1Q22 was not fully comparable as it was negatively affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.) We view positively the acceleration in underlying volumes driven by improved utilization of PUDO points (with the addition of new couriers per point on average), despite a small decrease in the total size of the network (which declined 6% y/y as of end-2022). We expect Pointpack to achieve volume growth of 32%/26% y/y in 2023E and 2024E, which should enable the core business to deliver decent results after accommodating a higher cost base in 2022/2023E. We forecast core business EBITDA at PLN 7.5m/PLN 13.8m in 2023E/2024E (versus PLN 6.8m in 2022).Figure 1.

The Group’s revenues were in line with our expectations, while the profitability was materially lower than we expected and EBIT reached merely PLN 170,000 which implies the EBIT margin at 1.3% vs 4.1% expected by us. We would like to note that the profit on sales was negative and stood at PLN 509,000 in 4Q22. 4Q22 low profitability stemmed from an inflationary growth of costs which was not incorporated in BioMaxima’s price lists (the management claims this will be done in a few months). 4Q22 NI at PLN 311,000 was higher than EBIT due to high revenues on the financial activity.

Forever Entertainment's results for 4Q'22, at the level of adjusted EBITDA and net profit, turned out to be significantly better than our expectations, and the company achieved record figures throughout 2022 (adjusted EBITDA of PLN 15.0 million, which is +582% y/y, and net profit of PLN 11.9 million, which is +659% y/y). The company enters the current year with advanced productions of many remakes. In 2023, we expect debuts of titles such as "FM2,", "PD2", „Shadowgate 2” and "Fear Effect: Reinvented." Considering the high density of significant premieres, we expect FOR to significantly scale its results. We forecast that the company will achieve a net profit of PLN 19,3 million (+62% y/y) throughout 2023, which translates into an attractive P/E ratio of 7x. With this in mind, we maintain our BUY recommendation for Forever Entertainment, setting a target price of 6,8 PLN per share, which is 41% above the current market price. Good results for 4Q'22 Forever Entertainment's results for 4Q'22 at a adjusted EBITDA and net profit level turned out to be significantly better than our expectations. Throughout the discussed quarter, the company generated PLN 9.5 million in revenue (+82.3% y/y), of which PLN 8.9 million was from the sale of product (an increase of 92.6% y/y), which was close to our forecasts. The biggest impact on the company's revenue growth in 4Q'22 was the release of the game "FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake" (according to our estimates, it sold about 50,000 copies exclusively on NS in the quarter) and the sales of "THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD: Remake" released during 2022 (on all major platforms). We were positively surprised by the operating expenses (PLN 7.0 million), especially the cost of external services (PLN 4.7 million), which were lower than our forecasts. The company's EBIT for 4Q'22 was PLN 2.5 million (compared to a loss of PLN 1.7 million in 4Q'21), while the adjusted EBIT was PLN 5.2 million. The company's EBITDA for the period was PLN 2.6 million (compared to a loss of PLN 1.4 million in 4Q'21), with adjusted EBITDA reaching PLN 5.3 million. The net profit for the last quarter of 2022 amounted to PLN 1.6 million (compared to a net loss of PLN 1.6 million in 4Q'21), while the adjusted net profit was PLN 3.8 million. A vision of an intense 2023 and further scaling of the business The company entered 2023 year without major premieres, but from this perspective, 2Q23 looks much more interesting. Magical Drop 6 was released on April 25th and in a few weeks Front Mission 2: Remake will hit the market (as we indicated in our last recommendation, the publisher ventured into a new type of sales campaign for this IP by releasing subsequent parts in intervals of only six months). Considering the information included in the annual report and statements from the management regarding the progress of individual productions, we expect that the company will release 5 more remakes this year, including "Panzer Dragoon 2", "The House of The Dead 2", "Fear Effect: Reinvented", "Night Slashers: Remake" and "Shadowgate 2". Given such a dense schedule of important premieres, we expect that FOR will significantly scale up its results. We forecast that in whole 2023 the company will generate PLN 76.6 million in revenue (+70% y/y), PLN 23.7 million in EBIT (+64% y/y), and PLN 19.3 million in net profit (+62% y/y). Continuation of sharing profits with shareholders After publishing the annual results, the company announced its intention to recommend a payment of 0.1 PLN dividend per share from the 2022 profit. For this purpose, 2.7 million PLN from last year's profit of 9.7 million PLN will be used (DY = 2.1%). This will be the second time in the history of Forever Entertainment that the company will pay a dividend. We expect the company to continue sharing its profits with shareholders in the coming years. With the expected progression of results in 2023, we anticipate an increase in DPS to 0.2 PLN. Further development plans of the company We would like to point out that Forever Entertainment is preparing to develop further projects and obtain new IPs that, in the company's assessment, significantly exceed the sales potential of the titles disclosed so far. In addition, FOR hopes that with the release of the game "Fear Effect Reinvented" it will show potential partners that apart from working on remakes, it can also create game from scratch based on licenses (eg in the same way as in the case of "Resident Evil 2").Main risks: 1) Risk related to strategic goals 2) Risk related to the possibility of not obtaining the necessary concessions and licenses 3) The risk related to possible delays in game production 4) Risk related to the loss of key employees 5) Risk related to difficulties in acquiring experienced employees 6) The risk related to the possible failure of IT systems, telecommunications infrastructure and servers 7) The risk related to the competitive environment 8) Risk related to the development of new technologies and industry 9) Risk of volatility of foreign exchange ratesKrzysztof Tkoczkrzysztof.tkocz@bdm.com.pltel.

Find below continuation of the interview with Bartosz Milczarek, Chief Executive Officer of Cryptiony, who we talk with about the company and crypto industry. The first part of the interview is available here. FXMAG.COM: What are your assumptions for your development on the UK market? Are you going to take over an entity, create a "subsidiary" or control the whole thing remotely? Bartosz Milczarek (Cryptiony CEO): We have launched a branch in the UK: Cryptiony Ltd. However, the nature of our business - an application in the Software-as-a-Service model allows us to run this business largely remotely. From the very beginning of the company's existence, the team has been working remotely. What do your shares in the project look like now? New entrants only support you financially, has the shareholding structure changed? Acquiring a VC investor or a Business Angel usually means selling part of the shares. This is also the case with us. However, the founding members still hold the majority of the company's shares. New investors not only support us financially, but also with their "smart-money" - which I mentioned. This was crucial for us when we were looking for investors. Our investors have extensive experience in scaling local projects to global businesses, they have extensive networking - also in the crypto industry - which we are happy to take advantage of. We are not planning a debut on the stock exchange. Next fundraising round is planned - later this year. Are you planning another fundraising round, or are you planning to go public? We are not planning a debut on the stock exchange. Next fundraising round is planned - later this year. We believe that we must quickly expand our activities to other countries. We have in mind the EU directive DAC8, which we talked about earlier. The entry into force of this directive and the imposition of the obligation to report customer transactions to the tax authorities would certainly strongly increase the demand for the Cryptiony application. Although such regulations raise a lot of controversy, it seems that this direction is inevitable. More and more accounting offices are interested in the subject of cryptocurrency settlement. They undertake to settle them for companies as well as for individuals. Assuming that the trend will definitely intensify and it will become more and more common, does it not pose a big risk for you in development? Definitely not. In addition to our main product: an application for self-accounting for cryptocurrencies, we also offer a separate platform for entities such as accounting offices or tax offices. These types of entities without automation tools have a much harder time settling taxes with their clients, they also do it slower. So far, not much has been heard about our second product. Last year, we launched a separate platform for entities specializing in cryptocurrency tax settlements based on the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) prepared by us for entities that contacted us. In 2023, we plan to significantly expand our activities in this area, we are observing an increase in interest of this type of entities in the settlement of crypto trading, and thus the need for automation of this process. In what time horizon do you see the stabilization of the cryptocurrency market in the context of regulations in Poland? What must change? The entry into force of EU regulations, i.e. the previously mentioned MiCA regulation and the DAC8 directive, will be of key importance. Currently, we have very simple and investor-friendly cryptocurrency tax regulations in Poland. I've heard voices that the government can change the regulations and follow the British ones more closely. Read next: Bartosz Milczarek, CEO at Cryptiony: Customers settle the crypto tax in annual returns, so our business model is also based on annual subscriptions | FXMAG.COM In light of the events of 2022, what do you see as the biggest threat to the crypto market in the coming years? The scale of frauds, pathologies or bankruptcies of cryptocurrency projects that took place in 2022 shows that regulations in this industry are necessary. It's important not to be too strict. The lack of regulations or their too late implementation may significantly harm the further dynamic development of the industry. It is therefore essential that governments adopt the golden rule of thumb. Do you think that with the introduction of CBDC on a larger scale, stablecoins will be forgotten? Not necessarily, CBDC will rather act as digital cash - controlled by governments. Cryptocurrencies, including stablecoins, will continue to be an alternative to the traditional financial system. There is a lot of talk about the introduction of CBDC, but there are still few details on how it will be implemented, and it is quite crucial to whether users will switch from stablecoins to CBDC.

Last time our team reached out to Cryptiony - a company which made an app, that helps investors tax crypto. Today we provide you with an interview with Bartosz Milczarek, Chief Executive Officer. FXMAG.COM: How do you see 2023 in terms of crypto regulation? Is there any sign of a global consensus on the horizon? Bartosz Milczarek (Cryptiony CEO): The year 2023 will certainly be important in terms of regulation of this industry. Since last year, we have been observing significant progress in regulatory work. However, it is unlikely that these regulations will be implemented in 2023. It is also difficult to talk about global regulations. Nevertheless, in many regions of the world, work is underway to regulate this industry. Work on the MiCA regulation, which covers the entire European Union, has been underway since 2018, the European Parliament is to vote in April this year, and if it is approved by the EU Council, it may come into force as early as 2024 - after 18 months of voting. The MiCA regulation is the first attempt to comprehensively regulate the functioning of crypto-assets in trading. The European Union is already working on further regulations on administrative cooperation covering tax reporting on cryptocurrencies - a proposal to regulate this area has been proposed in the DAC8 directive, which may enter into force in 2026. This directive would impose an obligation on entities enabling cryptocurrency trading to provide information on transactions their clients to the relevant tax authorities. In 2022, we recorded the collapse of the Terra project or the bankruptcy of the FTX exchange. Such events will only speed up regulatory work. On February 1, 2023, the British HM Treasury announced a proposal for new regulations governing the cryptocurrency market and announced legal consultations that will last until April 30, 2023. According to the local authority, their goal is to introduce clear regulations regarding the cryptocurrency industry. It is important that the local authority announced that the cryptocurrency industry is ultimately to be subject to the same regulations and institutions as traditional financial markets - taking into account the specifics of the industry. The proposed regulations by the UK government have a similar purpose to the MiCA in the EU, which is why they are called the small MiCA. Similar regulatory work is also taking place in the United States. In 2022, we recorded the collapse of the Terra project or the bankruptcy of the FTX exchange. Such events will only speed up regulatory work. What is your main product? How many people are currently using it? Are these customers who bill you monthly/quarterly/or just annually? Our main product is a web application for self-settlement of tax on cryptocurrency trading. With the help of the application, the user of the cryptocurrency market can independently settle the cryptocurrency turnover in a few minutes. We have already had 2 tax seasons in Poland behind us, in a moment, from February 15, we will start the third year of operation in Poland. From January 2023, we also offer our services in the UK. Surprisingly, in the UK tax settlement on crypto activity is much more difficult than in Poland. i.e. there are more complex methods of calculating revenues and costs, as well as more operations should be included in such a settlement, e.g. crypto-crypto transactions, airdrops, staking. Customers settle the crypto tax in annual returns, so our business model is also based on annual subscriptions. Read next: Louis Vuitton celebrates 200th anniversary. Company teams up with Yayoi Kusama to release 10.000 NFT project| FXMAG.COM What do you need so much money for? Would further bootstrapping be impossible? Development from own funds would certainly be much slower. We raised over PLN 2,500,000 (EUR 500,000) from two American Venture Capital funds and one Business Angel from Poland. We needed these funds to expand into the UK and completely redesign the app to make it even easier to use. If we look at the pre-seed financing round through the prism of the Polish pre-seed rounds, where the median for the first financing round is PLN 1.1 million, we actually achieved an above-average result. However, if we take into account that these funds were allocated to foreign expansion, it is not such a large amount. Let's note that TaxBit - offering a similar application in the US, raised USD 100 million in one round, and raised over USD 235 million in total - but they still offer their services only in the USA. It should also be remembered that having VC investors or Business Angels on board is not only financial resources, but also the so-called "smart money". We have support from people who have experience in scaling businesses. Read the second part of the interview here!

Already today, in the late evening hours, we will know the financial results of another technological giant from Wall Street - Alphabet , which is the operator of i.a. Google and YouTube services. The results for the previous, third quarter of last year, did not impress and turned out to be noticeably lower than analysts' expectations. Alphabet 's revenue growth then fell to its lowest level since 2013. What can we expect from the publication of the report for the last quarter and the entire year 2022? What are the expectations of the technological giant? Summary: analysts expect earnings per share in the fourth quarter of $1.18 estimated revenue is $76.07 billion, up just 1% year-on-year however, in the last quarter of 2022, significant drops in the dollar quotation may work in favor of the company in pre- session trading, Alphabet 's quotations increase by more than 1% (price above 100 USD) Alphabet results for 2022 Analysts' expectations for Google's parent company are not too high - the market consensus assumes an increase in revenues to USD 76.07 billion , i.e. 1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Estimated earnings per share (EPS) Alphabet traded at $1.18, down from $1.53 a year earlier (EPS was $30.69 then, while Alphabet did a 20:1 stock split last July ). In pre-market trading , Alphabet's stock is up over 1% and is trading above $100. As a reminder - throughout 2022, the company behind Google recorded a decrease in the share price by less than 40%, but in January, Alphabet 's shares recorded an increase of over 10%. Read next: Resumption Of Cooperation Between Airbus And Qatar Airways| FXMAG.COM Alpahet last week announced a reduction of more than 6% of the company's full-time jobs, which means the layoffs of more than 12,000 employees . The decision was justified by the fact that in previous years Google recorded above-average growth dynamics, which is impossible to maintain in the current economic reality. New employees were hired in a different economic environment, which is now much less friendly to technology companies. Google joined companies such as Meta Platforms , Microsoft and Amazon with job cuts . When will we know the Google results? Alphabet will publish financial statements for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 after Thursday's trading session on February 2 at 2 p.m. 22 Polish time. It is worth recalling that the technology concern, which is the operator of, among others, Google and YouTube services , in the previous quarter (Q3 2022) fell below analysts' expectations , both in terms of revenue and profitability. In the third quarter of 2022 Alphabet achieved sales revenue of USD 69.09 billion against expectations of over USD 70.5 billion. Revenues were higher than those in Q3 2021 (USD 65.12 billion), but only by 6%. For comparison, in the third quarter of 2021, the dynamics of revenue growth exceeded 40%. Third-quarter net income was also lower than forecast at $13.91 billion, with earnings per share of $1.06. Analysts had expected an EPS of $1.25. For comparison, in the third quarter of 2021, Alphabet had a net profit of just under $19 billion, which translated into an EPS of $1.40. At that time, the company explained the below-consensus results with a decrease in advertising revenue and lower marketing expenditures on the part of advertisers, which was particularly visible in the results of YouTube itself - advertising revenue slightly exceeded USD 7 billion, which meant a 2% year-on-year decrease, while the market consensus assumed an increase of 3% on an annual basis. Alphabet's total ad revenue was $54.48 billion in the quarter, up from $53.13 billion a year earlier. The result above expectations was recorded only by Google Cloud services - revenues in the third quarter amounted to USD 6.87 billion, compared to the expected USD 6.69 billion and USD 4.99 billion achieved a year earlier.

Meta Platforms published the results for the fourth quarter of last year and the entire 2022. In aftermarket trading, the share price of the owner of Facebook increases by over 18%. Earnings per share in the fourth quarter amounted to USD 1.76 vs. USD 2.23 expected. Revenues reached USD 32.17 billion (market expected USD 31.69 billion). The market was euphoric about the expansion of the buyback of own shares by as much as USD 40 billion.  How does the Meta Platforms price behave after the announcement of financial results? In aftermarket trading, Meta Platforms is already gaining over 18%. Tomorrow's session opening in the US stock market will be extremely exciting. Is there a chance for a long-term improvement in the financial results of the owner of Facebook? According to analysts' expectations, only the second half of 2023 may bring an improvement in the situation of companies that benefit the most from advertising. According to Refinitiv , in the first quarter of 2023 there will be another decline in Meta's financial results. This is the effect of potential cuts in advertising budgets. It is worth noting that ad spend in 2023 is expected to increase by 3.3%, which is the lowest estimated increase in the last 5 years. What's more, as many as 2/3 of advertisers include the recession in their budgets, thus expecting lower consumption. Read next: Eurozone inflation: We believe the issue's roots were building up before the war, and some are saying it was groundwork set by the ECB| FXMAG.COM How did Meta Platforms' results compare to expectations? Out of the last 4 quarters, only in one case the financial results surprised positively. We are talking about the first quarter of 2022. Then the earnings per share turned out to be higher than expected by more than 8% and reached the value of USD 2.72 per share. Q2 and Q3 2022 are much worse results. In particular, the data for the penultimate quarter were not optimistic, as the discrepancy compared to market expectations reached the value of -11.32%.  Chart of profit expectations per single Meta Platforms share . The downward trend should end in the first quarter of 2023 How was the Facebook owner doing before the results were announced? Before the publication of quarterly results, the Meta Platform share price did not differ from the most important technological companies. At times, the gains reached 3%, despite the fact that the opening of Wednesday's session was not successful. The opening price amounted to USD 147.87, while during the daily struggle the rate dynamically broke the barrier of USD 150. Thus, the price has come very close to the important horizontal level of USD 155. Bounce from the bottom (4.11.2022) exceeded the level of 70%.

The consensus of Wall Street analysts assumes that Apple will show sales of USD 121.7 billion in the first quarter of the 2022/23 financial year, which would mean a decrease of -1.8% q/q. In pre-session trading, Apple's price is up 1%. Today, after the session, Apple will announce the results for the first quarter of the 2022/2023 financial year, i.e. for the fourth quarter of 2022. Expectations are moderate, given the recent production problems in China. The most interesting point in the Apple report will be how the demand for apple products is affected by a marked slowdown in consumer spending on computers, mobile phones and other electronics. There is also the issue of the weakening USD. Apple's results this time a big puzzle The consensus of Wall Street analysts assumes that Apple will show sales of USD 121.7 billion in the first quarter of the 2022/23 fiscal year, which would mean a decrease of -1.8% QoQ and the first quarterly decrease since 2019. Earnings are expected to be $1.95 per share, down from $2.10 a year earlier. Recall that Apple stopped publishing preliminary results estimates at the beginning of the pandemic, and it seems unlikely that the company will resume this practice. CFO Luca However, Maestri warned in late October 2022 that the prospects for the fourth quarter do not look rosy, and Mac sales will be significantly lower year-on-year. He emphasized that revenues from services would probably increase year on year, but alarmed that the company was facing macroeconomic problems. Read next: Santander Bank Polska Shareholders Can Expect A Solid Dividend, The ETH Liquid Staking Narrative Is Already Going Strong| FXMAG.COM The most important driver of Q4 2022 results will be iPhone sales . Meanwhile, in the fall, there were production problems with the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models. Besides, the question was how the sale looked like in the face of high inflation and a weakening economy. Wall Street analysts polled by FactSet expect iPhone revenue to be $68.3bn for the quarter, down -4.6% y/y, and Mac revenue to be $9.3bn USD (decrease by -14% y/y). iPad revenue should be $7.9 billion, up 9.6%. Revenues from wearables , home and accessories are expected to amount to USD 15.2 billion, which would mean an increase of 3.4%. Analysts predict service revenues of USD 20.5 billion, which would mean an increase of 5% y/y. As for the regions, analysts' estimates assume a decline in sales in most regions. Interestingly, it is expected to be higher in Europe (-22%) than in China (-20%).

The first meeting of the Open Market Committee this year is behind us. The FOMC, as expected, decided to raise interest rates in the US for the eighth time in a row, this time by 25 basis points. Thus, the range of the federal reserve funds reserve ratio increased to the highest level since October 2007: 4.50-4.75%. Given that basically no one expected the Fed to make a decision other than half the rate hike than last December, what is more important from the perspective of the markets is what the governor of the US central bank, Jerome Powell, has to say. Summary: at the February meeting of the Open Market Committee, as expected, interest rates increased by 25 basis points this means that the federal reserve funds rate range has increased to 4.50-4.75% Market expectations assume that the Federal Reserve will end the cycle of interest rate hikes after its March meeting, and that the beginning of the Fed 's rate cut will take place later this year Fed decision in February 2023 At the first meeting of the Open Market Committee this year, an increase in interest rates by 25 basis points was approved . This means that the Federal Reserve Funds rate range increased to 4.50%-4.75% . Once again, the Fed did not surprise the market with its decision - long before the FOMC meeting, analysts agreed that the members of the committee would vote for a gradual phasing out of the monetary policy tightening in the US. On the eve of this year's first FOMC meeting, over 99% of positions on future interest rate contracts were betting on a 25 basis point increase in interest rates . Less than 1% of positions assumed leaving interest rates at last year's level (range 4.25-4.50%). It is interesting, however, that for the first time in many months, none of the participants of the FRA contracts market took into account the scenario of a 50 basis point rate hike. It is worth noting that at the end of December last year, over 32% of futures positions bet that the FOMC will vote for a rate hike of another 50 basis points at the February meeting. Such a radical change in the proportion of future interest rate contracts within just one month is a clear signal that the baseline scenario for market participants is the imminent end of the interest rate hike cycle in the US.

What next, i.e. when will the Fed stop raising rates? The first interest rate hike in the United States this year is also the eighth in a row in this cycle of monetary tightening conducted by the Fed since March 2022. For investors from all over the world, however, it is important when the US Federal Reserve decides to end the rate hikes and when the first signals and then the first reductions in the dollar interest rate will appear. Looking at the current distribution of positions on FRA contracts of various series, it can be seen that market participants expect the end of the cycle of interest rate increases already at the third FOMC meeting this year , which is scheduled for May 3rd. More than 82% of positions on March futures bet that interest rates will also go up by 25 basis points at the next meeting. Less than 17% of positions on FRA contracts assume keeping rates at the current level (4.50-4.75%). As for the May series of futures contracts (which are betting on the third FOMC meeting this year), almost 55% of positions assume that the Fed will not raise interest rates in May , thus ending the monetary tightening cycle in the United States that has lasted over a year. The implementation of this scenario assumes an increase in interest rates in the US to the range of 4.75-5.00% . An equally burning issue is when the Fed will begin to ease monetary policy Of course, no one knows the answer to this question yet, especially since central bankers' decisions are shaped in a dynamic macroeconomic environment. In the coming months, a lot of things can happen that can both accelerate and significantly postpone the Fed 's decision to start interest rate cuts in the US. Much will depend on the rate of decline in inflation and the condition of the labor market. It is interesting, however, that on the day of this year's first FOMC meeting, most participants in the FRA contracts market expect that already at the end of this year... the Fed will start to cut interest rates. For example, on the December contract series, over 30% of positions assume the range of the federal reserve funds rate of 4.25-4.50%, which is exactly the same as before today's Fed decision . More than 33% of positions assume the range of interest rates at 4.50-4.75% at the end of the year, which assumes the scenario of the last 25 bp rate hike this year . in March, means one interest rate cut at the end of 2023. The market therefore hopes that the Fed will quickly turn from a hawk into a dovish one that will not delay cutting rates as soon as the macroeconomic readings and the general climate in the US economy allow it.
