MSU 2.0 to unveil IP expansion strategy, featuring AI creation tools and a unified on-chain content hub.
MapleStory N marks its first anniversary with major gameplay milestones, sustained ecosystem growth, and new updates to deepen player engagement.
MapleStory Universe (MSU), the blockchain-powered expansion of Nexon’s iconic MapleStory franchise, today marks its first anniversary following the launch of MapleStory N on May 15, 2025. Over the past year, the platform has recorded more than 150 million cumulative on-chain transactions and surpassed 3.82 million accounts registered, reflecting sustained participation from a global player base and continued development of the ecosystem.
One year in, MSU is entering its next phase with the introduction of MSU 2.0, an expansion designed to transform how intellectual property (IP), builders, and players interact in a shared digital environment, supported by AI creation tools and on-chain infrastructure. MSU 2.0 will be implemented throughout 2026 to 2027, as new features will be progressively developed and released for the builders.
A Benchmark Launch That Set a New Standard
MSU launched in May 2025 as one of the largest debuts in the Web3 gaming ecosystem. Built on the MapleStory IP, the pre-launch Scroll NFT campaign recorded approximately 1.7 million scrolls minted, officially confirmed as the largest NFT mint in Avalanche network history. On launch day, MSU-related weekly active addresses on the Avalanche network increased by 549 percent, reflecting strong user interest and anticipation surrounding the title’s release.
Following launch, the marketplace has continued its strong performance, with more than 446,716 buyers and sellers transacting daily on average. To date, MSU has accounted for 23.3% of total activity on the Avalanche network, representing a substantial share of activity across leading chains. MSU’s native NXPC token was also listed on seven major exchanges at launch, including Binance, Bybit, Upbit, and Bithumb.
Sunyoung Hwang, CEO, Nexpace, said:
What began as one of the largest launches in Web3 gaming has developed into a platform built for long-term participation. In the past year, we focused on building the infrastructure and discipline required to support our community over the long term. Ever since then, MSU has evolved beyond a single game into infrastructure for creation, commerce, and participation. That shift defines what it means for an IP to become an economic system and a foundation for the next generation of online worlds.
Introducing MSU 2.0, the Next Chapter for MapleStory Universe
MSU is now advancing into its next phase through the rollout of MSU 2.0, an expansion designed to turn IPs from friction-heavy, abstract assets into programmable, on-chain commerce. Designed to broaden participation across the ecosystem and support new forms of creation, distribution, and commercialization, MSU 2.0 reflects the continued evolution of MapleStory Universe from a single game environment into a scalable platform.
Hwang added:
MSU 2.0 is the next phase of our growth journey. Our goal is to expand the role of IP from something people experience to something they can actively build with, share, and grow together, akin to an infinite IP playground. From here, our priority is to build the infrastructure that will support a larger and more connected IP ecosystem.
At the core of MSU 2.0 is VIBE IP, a new tech stack built on two foundational pillars that redefine what it means to build with IP on-chain. The first pillar transforms IP access by providing builders access to gameplay and behavioral data from MapleStory N through dedicated APIs, turning IP from brand assets to living, data-rich foundation to create on in accordance with applicable privacy laws. The second pillar establishes an on-chain builder economy on the Henesys chain, built on an Avalanche L1streamlining IP licensing, revenue settlement, and payments into a single system.
Together, these pillars are supported by blockchain infrastructure and AI-powered creation tools. Blockchain allows seamless licensing, payment and settlement, fully on-chain, while AI-powered “vibe coding” allows anyone’s idea to become a full-scale product, enabling broader participation in building and launching IP-driven content. This foundation positions MSU to onboard additional Nexon IPs over time, building an AI-powered and On-chained IP multiverse, with the VIBE IP tech stack gradually rolling out in phases over the coming months.
MapleStory N One-Year Anniversary Update
MapleStory N, the flagship game by MSU, has delivered a series of milestones over the past year that reflect sustained player engagement across the ecosystem. The year-end winter update generated more than 130,000 user inflows, with approximately three-quarters representing new users. This update also drove in-game spending to its highest level since the immediate post-launch period, with player spending outpacing rewards distributed, reflecting a more active and sustainable in-game economy driven by deeper engagement.
Building on this momentum, MapleStory N is now more accessible to mainstream players. Casual users can engage with the game like any traditional MMORPG, with less blockchain hurdle. Web3 features have been refined to deliver meaningful value while maintaining a seamless gameplay experience, making the platform easier for a broader audience to adopt.
As MapleStory N enters its second year, the development team will roll out waves of in-game updates at an accelerated pace, expanding gameplay and introducing new challenges. This will be supported by a steady cadence of major releases throughout the year, including highly anticipated Black Mage update and other milestone content. MSN will also introduce a new MVP system designed to provide ongoing benefits to dedicated players and keep them motivated to continue playing. Starting with the MVP system, MSN plans to continuously expand the program by introducing more diverse criteria and rewards, ensuring that a wider range of players can be recognized and rewarded over time.

Gogi connects investors and AI agents to brokers, stocks, crypto, forex, and prediction markets in one unified workspace.
Today, Gogi launches out of stealth to equip investors with a unified ecosystem for AI-powered investing and enable the next generation of agent investors. Gogi is among the first financial workspaces to provide agents with financial data, policy guardrails, position limits, and a security layer for engaging in multi-broker, multi-market trading. The company aims to become the default gateway through which agents interface with global financial systems.
Retail trading is more fragmented and complex than ever. New investors face steep barriers to entry: hours of time-consuming research, costly subscriptions to market data and expert analysis, and a maze of disconnected platforms and accounts. Although AI agents can analyze markets and identify trading opportunities, investors lack a secure, unified control layer for their agents to safely access and take action across financial accounts—until now.
AI agents are evolving from tools into economic participants. Gogi is building the infrastructure for investors to leverage autonomous agents to execute specific financial strategies,
said Founder and CEO Clarice Bonaccorsi. I built this platform to give everyday investors a true financial co-pilot—one that offers institutional-grade capabilities without institutional complexity.
Gogi’s financial interface combines Gogi Intelligence and various tools to simplify analysis and trade execution across multiple accounts. Gogi Intelligence integrates real-time market data across equities, crypto, forex, commodities, indexes, and prediction markets. It performs fundamental and technical analysis on more than 20,000 symbols and thousands of real-world events—providing investors and AI agents with a comprehensive understanding of the market and their position in it. Beyond standard data feeds, users can subscribe to premium data, including SEC filings, balance sheets, historical performance, sports statistics, political forecasting, event probabilities, and even custom datasets, via a secure user portal.
On top of this Intelligence, Gogi’s tools enable multi-broker trade execution (human- or agent-in-the-loop), portfolio management, chat and voice command interfaces, and an isolated trading environment. Most investors risk exposing sensitive credentials and proprietary strategies when utilizing autonomous AI agents. With Gogi, investors and agents operate within a strictly governed, encrypted environment. All agent activity is encrypted and monitored, ensuring that investments pass through embedded user-defined guardrails. These safeguards enforce strict position limits, timing constraints, asset restrictions, and risk policies automatically before any order hits the market.
Currently, Gogi is partnered with Kraken, one of the longest-standing, most liquid, and secure crypto platforms serving more than 15 million clients globally, to share Kraken’s features with Gogi’s users. Alpaca, a leading provider of brokerage infrastructure APIs, is also a Gogi partner, potentially extending Gogi’s reach through brokerage infrastructure serving more than 7 million accounts.

Funded Academy has officially launched, introducing a proprietary trading platform built around a single idea: trading should be a process of learning, proving, and evolving, not just passing a challenge. The firm enters the market with a structure that combines education, evaluation, and funding into one continuous environment, allowing traders to develop their skills while working toward funded opportunities.
From Learning to Funding, in One System
Funded Academy is built to guide traders through a complete journey. Instead of separating education from execution, the platform connects both. Traders begin by selecting a program such as the 1-Step Challenge with an 85% profit split or the 2-Step Challenge with an 80% split, progress through a structured evaluation, and move into funded accounts once performance criteria are met. Each stage is designed to reflect how traders actually grow, focusing on consistency and decision-making rather than short-term outcomes.
Competitive Entry and High-Reward Scaling
The platform offers diverse entry points to suit every trader’s needs:
2-Step Challenge Pricing: Accounts range from $5k ($49.99) to $200k ($1,080.99).
1-Step Challenge Pricing: Streamlined accounts from $5k ($55.88) to $100k ($576.88).
Performance Scaling: Traders can qualify to increase their account balance by 40%, with profit splits rising to an industry-leading 95%.
Maximum Growth: Traders can reach a maximum allocation of $1,000,000 based on performance.
Built Around Real Trading Conditions
Trading takes place on MetaTrader 5 and cTrader, two of the most widely used platforms in the industry. The environment is designed to mirror real market conditions. Funded Academy emphasizes discipline, with clearly defined rules:
Drawdown Limits: 2-Step accounts feature a 10% overall drawdown, while 1-Step accounts use an 8% trailing drawdown.
Leverage: Access up to 1:100 leverage on Forex for 2-Step Challenges.
Transparency: No consistency rules apply to any account types, and KYC is required only after successfully completing the challenge phases.
Support That Stays Active
A key part of the platform is its 24/7 support system (support@fundedacademy.com). Traders have access to real assistance at any time, reducing delays and keeping the focus on trading rather than troubleshooting. The platform is accessible across desktop, web, and mobile devices, allowing to monitor and manage accounts from anywhere.
Straightforward Payout Structure
Funded Academy offers a clear payout model. Each trading cycle is 2 weeks, and the first payout is available on demand. Once passed, traders can receive their funded accounts within 12 hours of completing KYC. All rules, including a $0 commission on Indices, are defined in advance to create a predictable structure.
Designed for Long-Term Development
Founder and CEO Mohammed Salehuddin Azad states that the platform was created to address a common gap in the industry: many traders have the skills but lack the structure to apply them consistently. Funded Academy focuses on building that environment and supporting steady progress so that traders can refine their approach over time.
Expanding Beyond Trading: The Partner Program
In addition to its trading programs, Funded Academy includes an affiliate program for creators and trading communities.
Tiered Commissions: Partners earn between 15% (Tier 1) and 20% (Tier 3) on first-time purchases.
Reliable Payouts: Commissions are processed via Crypto (in reliable payouts) or RISEWORKS within 24 to 48 hours after approval.
Trading & Account Flexibility
No Consistency Rules: There are no consistency rules applied to any account type, allowing traders more freedom in their strategy execution.
High Profit Splits: Traders start with an 80% to 85% profit split, which can be increased to 95% through the scale-up program.
Rapid Funding and Payouts: Funded accounts are issued within 12 hours of completing KYC, and the first payout is available on demand.
Generous Drawdown Limits: The 2-Step Challenge offers a 10% overall drawdown, while the 1-Step Challenge offers a 8% trailing drawdown.
Zero Commission on Indices: Trading indices features a $ 0-per-lot commission structure.
Flexible News Trading: Trade freely during medium and low-impact news across all accounts, with a simple 2-minute restriction around high-impact releases for funded accounts only, while challenge accounts remain unrestricted.
About Funded Academy
Funded Academy is a proprietary trading firm that combines learning, evaluation, and funding into a single platform. The company provides structured programs designed to help traders develop consistency and access funded trading opportunities. Funded Academy Ltd. is registered in Saint Lucia and operates globally.

London, United Kingdom, May 13th, 2026, Chainwire
Following the successful completion of its private testing phase, BASIS is now officially live, with the platform publicly accessible at basis.pro as the company moves to address what industry participants increasingly describe as a structural gap in digital asset infrastructure.
The platform, developed with engineering support from Base58 Labs, has been tested under live market conditions with a select group of institutional participants. While reported metrics included sub-50 microsecond p99 execution latency, throughput exceeding 100,000 operations per second, and 100% uptime, the evaluation extended beyond peak performance benchmarks.
Testing was designed to observe how the system behaved when execution conditions became unstable. Scenarios included exchange-side latency spikes, API rate limits, liquidity fragmentation across venues, and partial execution failures. These conditions, while not constant, are representative of real trading environments where system behavior under stress determines outcome consistency.
According to BASIS CEO Helge Stadelmann, these scenarios reflect a broader limitation in current market infrastructure.
Strategies exist. The constraint has been the infrastructure required to execute them with precision and defined risk,
Stadelmann said.
The platform operates as an arbitrage staking system powered by the Base58 Hyper-Latency Engine (BHLE), a proprietary high-frequency execution engine developed by Base58 Labs. BASIS identifies and captures pricing discrepancies across exchanges and distributes net arbitrage profits to platform participants through a staking structure designed around market-neutral execution.
In traditional markets, execution-layer infrastructure is typically embedded within institutional systems. In digital asset markets, that layer is still evolving, resulting in a dependency on external exchanges, APIs, and liquidity routing frameworks that introduce variability into execution outcomes.
Unlike conventional yield products that rely on token emissions or external reward incentives, BASIS derives user rewards exclusively from arbitrage execution profits generated across fragmented digital asset markets. Structurally, losses are absorbed by the company while users participate only in profit distributions generated through execution activity.
During testing, BASIS evaluated system behavior across a range of operational conditions. When execution parameters exceeded predefined thresholds, including projected slippage or incomplete fill conditions, the system halted execution and initiated deterministic rollback procedures. These mechanisms were designed to preserve capital and prevent forced completion under degraded conditions.
In scenarios where exchange-side instability occurred, the system adjusted outbound routing behavior and maintained allocation states without internal inconsistency. Pending executions were paused or reallocated without loss of state integrity, allowing the system to resume normal operation once conditions stabilized.
The Base58 Hyper-Latency Engine (BHLE), which underpins the platform, was developed to support these behaviors. While latency performance remains a core component, the design emphasis extends to sequencing logic, allocation tracking, and state preservation under varying execution conditions.
This approach reflects a shift in how execution performance is evaluated.
Execution quality is determined by control under unpredictable conditions,
Stadelmann said.
The testing phase focused on verifying that the system could maintain deterministic behavior when external variables introduced uncertainty. Rather than prioritizing forced execution completion, the system was designed to priorities outcome consistency and capital preservation.
BASIS operates within a structured governance framework that includes ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, AICPA SOC, and GDPR compliance standards. These certifications align the platform with established requirements for information security, service management, and operational oversight.
BASIS functions as execution-layer infrastructure supporting arbitrage deployment across exchanges rather than a conventional yield-generation platform. The underlying system is designed to maintain execution control, sequencing integrity, and deterministic risk behavior while operating across fragmented liquidity venues in real time.
With validation complete, BASIS is now officially live and publicly available through basis.pro. The platform currently supports BTC, ETH, SOL, and PAXG, each convertible into corresponding stTokens through a 1:1 structure, with reward accrual derived from arbitrage profits generated through the platform’s execution engine.
We validated the system thoroughly before opening it to the market. BASIS is now officially live at<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://basis.pro/?utm_source=chatgpt.com"> basis.pro</a>, and access is open,
Stadelmann said.
The launch reflects a broader shift in how infrastructure platforms are brought to market, with live validation and operational discipline completed prior to public availability.
As digital asset markets continue to mature, the role of execution-layer infrastructure is becoming more defined. While liquidity, custody, and compliance have seen rapid development, execution systems remain an area of ongoing evolution, particularly for institutional participants requiring consistent deployment frameworks.
The development of infrastructure capable of bridging the gap between proprietary trading systems and broader institutional access introduces new considerations for market structure. These include how execution control is standardized, how risk is managed across fragmented venues, and how infrastructure scales without introducing instability.
BASIS enters this stage of market development with execution discipline as a primary design principle. The platform’s architecture, testing methodology, and launch sequencing reflect an approach centered on system behavior rather than surface-level performance metrics.
As digital asset markets continue maturing, execution-layer systems capable of supporting scalable arbitrage deployment are becoming increasingly important. BASIS enters the market with a structure centered on market-neutral execution, deterministic risk management, and operational consistency across fragmented trading environments.

Ebene Cybercity, Mauritius, May 13th, 2026, FinanceWire
IUX has released a new market insight examining recent developments in the gold market, focusing on heightened volatility and how it may be associated with user engagement across gold-related instruments, including Gold Funds and Gold ETFs.
The report combines limited internal platform observations with publicly available market data for contextual purposes only.
Gold Market Reflects Diverging Short-Term and Long-Term Trends
According to publicly available market data, gold (XAUUSD) is trading at approximately 4,550.545 USD, reflecting an intraday increase of around +0.58%. Short-term movements remain volatile, with gold rising approximately +0.57% over the past day but declining around -4.39% over the past month.
Over longer timeframes, gold has shown relatively stronger performance, with gains of approximately +14.64% over six months and +40.50% over one year, although historical market performance does not guarantee future results.
This divergence between short-term pressure and longer-term strength may be associated with macroeconomic factors such as interest rate expectations, U.S. dollar movements, and periods of profit-taking. The observed pattern may also be interpreted as a transition from strong upward momentum into a phase of increased volatility and relative stabilization.
Volatility and Evolving Market Structure
The insight suggests that recent volatility may be associated not only with macroeconomic conditions but also with changes in market structure.
As access to gold markets becomes more immediate through instruments such as ETFs, and as trading activity becomes more responsive to real-time data, price movements may be observed to occur more rapidly. This environment may contribute to more pronounced short-term fluctuations compared to historical patterns.
These developments may be viewed as part of broader changes in how gold is utilized within portfolios, where some market participants may view it as part of longer-term portfolio diversification strategies.
IUX Data Indicates Shifts in User Engagement
Platform observations suggest that periods of increased price movement may be associated with higher levels of user interaction, particularly in instruments more directly linked to short-term market price movements. This observation should not be interpreted as investment advice or an indication of trading opportunity.
Engagement with ETF-based instruments may be observed to increase during short-term volatility, while Gold Funds continue to be associated with longer-term positioning. Under current conditions, different product characteristics may influence how users engage with market instruments.
Users may also be increasingly observed to monitor multiple timeframes and examine relationships between gold and other asset classes, which may reflect a shift toward more data-oriented market observation.
Integrated Platform for Multi-Asset Monitoring
IUX offers access to multiple asset classes within a single platform environment.
The platform includes access to market data and analytical indicators, including price movements, trading activity, and sentiment-related data, which may provide additional context during periods of volatility.
Conclusion
The IUX insight indicates that the current gold market environment may be characterized by the interaction between short-term volatility and longer-term structural trends.
This dynamic may be observed in both price behavior and user engagement, reflecting different approaches to market participation under evolving conditions.
About IUX
IUX is a multi-asset trading and investment platform offering access to a wide range of financial instruments, including Forex, commodities, indices, stocks, and ETFs. The platform provides integrated tools, market data, and educational resources designed to support users in exploring financial markets.

Zurich, Switzerland, May 12th, 2026, Chainwire
The fintech project SNC Scandic Coin (SNC) was launched by the global Scandic Finance Group (SFG). In an interview with the Neue Zürcher Nachrichten, Uwe Sellmer, a specialist in the financial sector, explained how the SNC token differs from speculative cryptocurrencies: it will serve as a regulated payment, access and loyalty instrument integrated into the SFG Group’s services, rather than merely being an object of speculation. Specifically, users within the network can pay for media apps, private jet flights, yachts, cars, AI products and domains, amongst other things, and benefit from loyalty programmes. This practical range of applications is a key feature of the RWA project, as many competitors offer only a vague ‘vision of the future’ without any tangible benefits.
Transparency, Audit and Compliance
The developers have ensured that the SNC SCANDIC Coin meets the requirements of regulatory oversight and strict compliance. The smart contract was audited by CertiK https://skynet.certik.com/projects/scandic-coin: according to the public Skynet report dated 2 March 2026, the SNC Scandic Coin has no critical vulnerabilities. The project has a KYC-KYB and anti-money laundering (AML) system, which is contractually managed by the data and credit service provider CRIF, which also certifies ESG certificates, thereby emphasising sustainable practices. A multi-layered AML risk management system underscores the commitment to creating a trustworthy product.
A broad ecosystem rather than a standalone product
The SNC Scandic Coin is not viewed in isolation, but as part of a broad Scandic ecosystem. The official website lists numerous divisions – such as SNC Scandic Fly, SNC Scandic Pay, Scandic Cars, SNC Scandic Estate, SNC Scandic DEV, SNC Scandic SEC, SNC Scandic Domains and SNC Scandic Yachts. These divisions are intended to use the coin as a common means of payment and deploy it for various RWA (Real-World Asset) services. According to Sellmer, the Legier Group publishing network – which comprises over 115 globally active daily newspapers across all continents offering 24/7 breaking news and its own news app – will provide media coverage.
Value proposition and fee model
From the user’s perspective, the SNC Coin offers several advantages: real-world utility through integration with specific services, low fees and fast processing thanks to optimised smart contract technology, an integrated ecosystem combining travel, property, brokerage services and lifestyle offerings, as well as a transparent structure with a fixed token supply and traceable distribution. The FAQ explains that the coin supports payments, access levels, rewards and ecosystem functions. Digital assets and data are secured using decentralised storage methods and institutional cold wallets, and for maximum security, the extensive SNC development team recommends the use of hardware wallets and, to safeguard every token holder, relies among other things on a vesting period for SNC Coins, which further ensures that the legal regulations of the supervisory authorities are fully complied with.
Tokenomics: Limited supply and clear allocation
The comprehensive white paper (210 A4 pages) and the website provide insight into the token economy. The total supply of SNC is capped at one billion tokens. According to the tokenomics model, the launch price is set at 0.02 EUR. A detailed schedule governs when these tokens will be released. The valuation at launch amounts to 20 million US dollars; according to the project description, this is not a legal commitment regarding the value of the token, but rather reflects assumptions regarding supply, market launch and development. Furthermore, the technical requirements for staking the SNC Scandic Coin have already been established in this context.
Milestones and Timeline
The roadmap focuses on transparency and stages: the foundation phase and development, including the audit, have been completed. Next up is the Token Generation Event (TGE); this will be followed by integration steps with partner services before the SNC Scandic Coin finally scales globally. An FAQ section notes that the SNC Coin is currently still in the preparatory phase and no live mainnet token is available; trading will commence shortly after the mainnet launch on a major centralised exchange (BitMart) and other major exchanges. Those interested should monitor the official channels, as exact launch dates will only be published https://x.com/SCANDICCOINECO.
Assessment and Outlook
Uwe Sellmer emphasises that “SNC” stands for S: Security/Synergy, N: Network and C: Community, and represents Scandinavian values such as transparency and modern design. The combination of real-world utility, limited supply, regulatory clarity and a comprehensive ecosystem sets the coin apart from many crypto projects where speculative hype takes centre stage. However, in accordance with legal requirements, the project highlights risks in its FAQs: Digital assets carry technical, market, liquidity, regulatory and execution risks, and interested parties should refer to official risk disclosures and the launch documentation.
In this context, the SNC Scandic Coin has potential to become a milestone in the fintech sector; however, as is always the case in any business, this depends not only on the technology and marketing, but also on the acceptance of the token.

Zug, Switzerland, May 12th, 2026, Chainwire
Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd., an affiliate of the Bitcoin Suisse Group, has received a Class F license under Bermuda’s Digital Asset Business Act and Class B registration approval under the Investment Business Act from the Bermuda Monetary Authority, authorising regulated digital asset management and investment advisory services for professional and institutional clients.
The Bitcoin Suisse Group today announced that its affiliate Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. has obtained a Class F digital asset business license under Bermuda’s Digital Asset Business Act and Class B registration under the Investment Business Act 2003 from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA). The approval has been granted on a pre‑operational basis, subject to the completion of customary conditions prior to commencing regulated digital asset management and investment advisory services for professional and institutional clients.
The BMA’s approval marks a significant step in Bitcoin Suisse’s international expansion. Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. now has the regulatory foundation to provide investment advisory and asset management services to professional and institutional clients outside Switzerland through a dedicated entity.
“Institutional investors increasingly recognize digital assets as a permanent part of their portfolios. What they need is a partner who combines deep crypto-native expertise with the governance and regulatory standards they expect from traditional financial services. The BMA approvals mark an important step in Bitcoin Suisse’s transition towards a global wealth management platform and allow us to be exactly that partner for clients internationally.” – Andrej Majcen, Co-Founder and Group CEO of Bitcoin Suisse.
Regulated Investment Advisory and Asset Management
Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. is domiciled in Hamilton, Bermuda, and is fully owned by BTCS Holding Ltd., the group’s holding entity. The DABA license covers the provision of regulated digital asset business services, while the IBA registration enables the entity to provide investment advisory and discretionary portfolio management. The entity will serve professional and institutional clients with a suite of services spanning investment advisory, discretionary portfolio management mandates, and proprietary investment strategies. Clients may fund mandates in Bitcoin, stablecoins, or fiat currency.
The entity operates on a non-custodial basis and relies on regulated custodial providers and partner banks to deliver institutional-grade security. An experienced CIO Office and dedicated research function underpin all investment decisions, drawing on Bitcoin Suisse’s proprietary Crypto Analysis Framework and its Global Crypto Taxonomy – a classification system covering approximately 600 digital assets across six sectors, developed over more than a decade of crypto-native research.
Bermuda: A Premier Jurisdiction for Regulated Digital Asset Services
Bermuda has established itself as one of the world’s leading jurisdictions for digital assets, having introduced the Digital Asset Business Act in 2018 as one of the first comprehensive frameworks of its kind. The granting of both a DABA license and an IBA registration to Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. reflects the group’s compliance infrastructure, governance standards, and operational maturity.

As part of a broader initiative to expand access to essential banking infrastructure across Africa, Cantor8 has revealed plans to bring leading mobile money systems such as M-PESA and EVC Plus onchain via Yiksi Limited.
Cantor8 has secured exclusive MOUs with Yiksi Limited, outlining plans to bring leading mobile money systems onchain and enable direct digital money services-to-crypto conversion via blockchain rails.
Through its partnership with Taran App, a leading African fintech platform, and Yiksi, Taran App’s cryptocurrency exchange, Cantor8 will leverage Taran App’s infrastructure to bring two of Africa’s most widely used forms of mobile money on-chain via the Canton Network.
The partnership serves as a crucial pilot for a broader rollout across additional African nations and mobile money ecosystems, demonstrating how onchain digital money infrastructure can scale across the continent.
Mobile Money Infrastructure and Blockchain Integration
Limited banking infrastructure in regions like Kenya and Somalia has led to the widespread adoption of mobile money systems like M-PESA and EVC Plus.
These platforms are vital for financial inclusion and economic activity in mobile-first ecosystems where traditional bank penetration, around 15% in Somalia, remains low due to physical and documentation barriers.
Migrating these systems to blockchain networks like the Canton offers a significant opportunity to enhance interoperability, settlement efficiency, and global connectivity. This evolution, in turn, provides users with a fully integrated digital financial system that bypasses conventional infrastructure.
Despite access challenges, ongoing innovation in digital onboarding continues to reduce barriers, scaling payments and remittances across these emerging markets.
The Need for Digital Money in African Economies
To understand the impact of digital money and mobile-based transfer systems like M-PESA and EVC Plus, it helps to first understand the regions in which they operate and have seen widespread adoption.
At the core, three key factors have driven the success of these systems in emerging economies like Somalia and Kenya:
Limited-to-non-existent access to reliable banking infrastructure.
A high degree of mobile phone access and competence.
Unworkable local currencies.
The Banking Gap
Since 1991, Somalia has transitioned into a mobile-first economy led by services like EVC Plus, filling the void left by a sparse traditional banking sector. According to the US State Department’s 2025 Investment Climate Statement, formal banking penetration sits at just 15% due to branch scarcity and rigid ID requirements.
Cantor8 aims to bridge this gap by integrating secure digital infrastructure and modernizing mobile connectivity.
The firm is targeting similar inclusion gaps in Kenya, where M-PESA dominates but rural barriers persist. By deploying mobile-first technology, Cantor8 intends to scale financial access and integrate these emerging markets into a cohesive digital ecosystem.
Nonviable Local Currencies
Somalia and Kenya are increasingly pivoting toward mobile-first financial systems to navigate structural economic challenges.
In Somalia, decades of central banking limitations and counterfeit Somali Shilling (SOS) circulation have driven a market shift toward the US Dollar and mobile money for stability.
Kenya’s Shilling (KES) remains more integrated into global markets, though its debt profile reflects heavy infrastructure investment. Despite macroeconomic pressures, Kenya continues to lead in digital innovation, utilizing mobile platforms to deepen economic participation.
Together, both nations demonstrate a move away from physical cash toward digital foundations, clearly setting the stage for next-generation payment infrastructure and improved fiscal stability across East Africa.
Mobile-Native Populations
Somalia and Kenya are cementing their status as mobile-first economies as cellular connectivity outpaces traditional banking growth. Somalia’s mobile penetration has reached nearly 60%, with 11.5 million connections growing at a 7% annual clip, driving widespread adoption of digital finance.
Kenya’s ecosystem is even more saturated; as of late 2025, SIM subscriptions hit 78.4 million (a 149.5% penetration rate). This high density of roughly 1.5 SIMs per person underscores the central role of telecoms in regional commerce.
Together, these metrics provide a robust foundation for next-generation digital payment infrastructure across East Africa’s most connected populations.
The Rise of Digital Money
The aforementioned factors create the perfect conditions for a financial system that is (a) denoted in USD, (b) immediately accessible through mobile devices, and (c) provides similar functionality to bank accounts, to flourish.
Digital money system, EVC Plus (operated by Hormuud Telecom) is now the backbone of Somalia’s economy. Mobile money adoption in Somalia is among the highest in the world, with over 87% of the population using mobile money services.
For additional context, Hormuud currently serves nearly 5 million users, the vast majority of which use EVC Plus for daily transactions.
Similarly, as of 2025, a staggering 85% of Kenyan adults had access to financial services through digital platforms like M-PESA. Indeed, several estimates put M-PESA’s share of mobile money transaction value in Kenya at well over 90%.
Enter Canton Network & Cantor8
By leveraging Cantor8’s cutting edge infrastructure components, such as its C8 Registry token issuance engine, mobile money systems like M-PESA and EVC Plus can be brought directly onto blockchain rails – Canton Network specifically.
In doing so, said mobile money gains access to both the advantages brought by blockchain generally, and those that only Canton Network can deliver.
Instant Settlement
Blockchain rails are able to provide atomic settlement on transactions, meaning transfers and other actions are settled instantly, all in one single transaction. This entirely eliminates the aforementioned ‘in-transit’ risk and dramatically reduces the operational burden placed on mobile money providers.
No settlement gap. No extractive middlemen. More efficient money.
Compliant Privacy
While public blockchains like Ethereum and Solana expose all historical transaction data, the Canton Network provides a privacy-focused alternative essential for regulated industries like banking. Built to shield sensitive details, including counterparties, balances, and timing, Canton ensures transaction data remains confidential.
To meet compliance standards, the network generates tamper-proof audit trails accessible only to authorized regulators and auditors. Integrating M-PESA and EVC Plus onto Canton’s rails allows users to maintain total financial privacy while enabling seamless, foolproof oversight for authorities.
Interoperability
Canton operates a so-called ‘network-of-networks’ where differing institutions operate and maintain their own blockchain ledgers, ensuring privacy is maintained, while the network’s key interoperability component (The Global Synchronizer) allows for these separate networks to interact seamlessly.
In the case of mobile money, users will be able to put their funds to use in different countries and at different merchants, without undertaking lengthy and high-risk conversation processes.
Banking Africa
Through an interoperable system of mobile money platforms, users will be able to leverage the stability of the US Dollar, seamlessly use and transfer their funds across borders, and much more.
The end goal of Cantor8’s initiative is to create a seamless pan-African payments system that remedies inequalities around banking infrastructure and creates a more interconnected and efficient African economy. This is just the beginning.

Nine protocol initiatives that target EVM compatibility, gasless transactions, compliant security tokens, transaction privacy, AI agent micropayments, and quantum-safe cryptography
The Casper Association today published the Casper Manifest, a multi-year technical roadmap designed to make Casper Network the infrastructure layer for regulated real-world asset tokenization and the emerging machine-to-machine economy.
The Manifest was introduced by Casper Association President & CTO Michael Steuer at the Digital Finance Forum in Bermuda, before an audience of leaders from Web3, traditional finance, and institutional finance.
Building on major protocol releases delivered since mid-2025, including Casper 2.0 with deterministic finality and a multi-VM execution layer, the Manifest sets out nine coordinated initiatives around one goal: making blockchain frictionless for users, trusted by institutions, and native for machines. The roadmap brings EVM compatibility to Casper’s WebAssembly foundation, advances gasless transactions and smart accounts for simpler user experiences, and expands the compliance, privacy, micropayment, native token, and quantum-safe infrastructure needed for real-world assets and autonomous systems to operate with greater predictability and less friction.
Building the Infrastructure for Regulated Assets and Autonomous Systems
The nine core initiatives outlined in the Casper Manifest are organized around the following areas:
Access for every developer. The largest blockchain developer ecosystem builds on Ethereum tooling – Solidity, MetaMask, and thousands of audited smart contract libraries. Casper is adding full Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility alongside its existing WebAssembly execution engines, so developers can bring their existing contracts, tools, and wallets to Casper without modification. A native token registry provides equal access to tokens from either side. One chain, two execution environments, zero fragmentation.
Blockchain that’s frictionless for the user. Someone else pays your transaction fees. Multiple steps collapse into a single action. You sign in with your fingerprint instead of managing cryptographic keys. The Casper Manifest delivers gasless transactions, batch operations, and smart accounts that enable biometric authentication – so using a blockchain application feels like using any other app.
Compliance and privacy as one system. Casper will be the first Layer 1 where regulatory compliance and transaction privacy are designed to work together. Compliant security tokens with on-chain identity verification, transfer restrictions, and jurisdictional controls – built in alignment with the ERC-3643 standard that already governs $28 billion in tokenized assets on chain. As a member of the ERC-3643 Association, Casper Association is helping to expand the standard. Alongside compliance, a multi-phase privacy roadmap delivers confidential transactions with fixed, predictable costs – and built-in tools for auditors and regulators to verify compliance without exposing transaction details to the public. Privacy and compliance as two sides of the same system, designed for the $16 trillion real-world asset tokenization market.
Native infrastructure for the machine economy. AI agents need to pay for services programmatically – per API call, per data query, per computation – without subscriptions, invoices, or human intermediaries. As a member of the X402 Foundation, Casper is implementing the X402 open payment standard, enabling machines to pay each other over HTTP in stablecoins and other fungible tokens, expecting to become the first WebAssembly-native Layer 1 with production X402 support. The same smart accounts and gasless infrastructure built for human users give AI agents scoped spending permissions and autonomous operation out of the box, providing best-in-class controls and compliance for AI agents.
Tokens as first-class citizens. User-created tokens on most blockchains are smart contracts that cost significantly more to operate than native currencies. Casper’s Native Token Registry elevates every token to protocol-level status with the same fixed, predictable costs as native transfers. One pricing model for all tokens. One infrastructure layer shared across WebAssembly, EVM and any other future execution environment on Casper Network. The backbone for everything from DeFi to compliant security tokens to private, confidential transfers.
Quantum-safe from the start. No major smart contract platform has shipped post-quantum transaction signing. Casper will, with hybrid accounts that carry both classical and quantum-resistant keys during a transition period. For institutions evaluating blockchain platforms for decade-long deployments, the answer to “what happens when quantum computers arrive” will be production code, not a research paper.
Much of the industry is focused on either maximizing hype, or iterating on concepts that service the same existing, crypto-native use cases. Few are building the infrastructure that will onboard the next billion users, the next trillion dollars in tokenized assets, or the first billion machines,
said Michael Steuer, President and CTO of the Casper Association. Executing the Casper Manifest means that developers can bring over their entire EVM stack. For users, blockchain should be invisible. One tap. Done. For institutions, Casper’s roadmap provides on-chain compliance, transaction privacy and quantum safety. And machines need payment rails that don’t require a human, while being bound to spending limits set by their owners on their smart accounts. That’s the future-proof infrastructure Casper is putting in place.
Timeline
The nine initiatives do not ship all at once. The first, X402 micropayments, is expected to ship in the next few weeks. Later in 2026, Casper will ship EVM compatibility, networking hardening, and compliant security tokens. This will be followed by the Native Token Registry, Gasless transactions, batch operations, and smart accounts. Transaction privacy and quantum safety build on the earlier initiatives, through 2027. Formal protocol enhancement proposals for each initiative will be published.

About Casper Network
Casper Network (CSPR) is a layer 1 Proof-of-Stake blockchain engineered for regulated real-world assets and the machine economy. With deterministic transaction finality, a multi-VM execution layer supporting both WebAssembly and soon EVM smart contracts, and fixed-cost operations enforced at the protocol level, Casper delivers the infrastructure for compliant asset tokenization, frictionless consumer experiences, and autonomous machine-to-machine commerce. The Casper Manifest – the network’s multi-year technical roadmap – advances nine coordinated protocol initiatives spanning developer access, user experience, institutional compliance, privacy, micropayments, and quantum safety. The Casper Association, a non-profit organization based in Zug, Switzerland, oversees protocol development and ecosystem growth. Learn more at https://casper.network.

MultiBank Group’s crypto arm mb.io, brings African gold on-chain by partnering with Kings Orbis, EON3 Group, and Mavryk.
Institutional gold tokenisation programme to be powered by mb.io RWA, with vaulting in Dubai under LBMA-approved custody, dedicated supply from EON3 Group, and Mavryk as the Layer 1 blockchain and RWA tech infrastructure partner.
mb.io, the crypto arm of MultiBank Group, has confirmed an institutional partnership with Kings Orbis, EON3 Group Ghana Ltd, and Mavryk to develop an institutional-grade tokenisation programme for physically-backed gold sourced from West Africa. The partnership unites four institutional roles in a single architecture: mb.io RWA as the regulated tokenisation marketplace, Kings Orbis as programme coordinator, EON3 Group as the dedicated institutional supply partner, and Mavryk as the Layer 1 blockchain and RWA tech infrastructure partner.
Senior representatives of all four partners attended the World Peace Summit in Kumasi, Ghana on Friday, 24 April 2026, where they participated in discussions held under the Pillars of Peace movement. The visit included a private audience with His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene King of the Ashanti Kingdom, who has expressed his personal support for the success of this partnership. The meeting underscored the cultural significance of West African gold and the responsible institutional framework the partnership is designed to deliver.
The Ashanti Kingdom, one of West Africa’s most historically significant kingdoms, has been synonymous with gold for centuries. The region was known globally as the “Gold Coast” for its unmatched gold reserves and has produced gold for over 700 years, supplying global trade routes and shaping the cultural and economic identity of modern Ghana. This collaboration brings that legacy on-chain, making Ashanti gold accessible to a global investor base for the first time in a digitally native, fractionally tradeable form.
Each token represents direct ownership of the underlying physical gold, vaulted in Dubai under institutional-grade custody. Beyond commodity-grade gold, the partnership will also tokenise a curated collection of Gold Art — physical artworks crafted from and inspired by Ashanti gold — honouring the cultural legacy of His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene and a globally recognised advocate for the Pillars of Peace movement.
The programme that mb.io, Kings Orbis, EON3, and Mavryk are developing together is built to change that. It gives international investors access to African gold in a digital, fractional format. Physical backing is independently verified at every stage.
Under the architecture being developed, each token will represent direct institutional ownership of the underlying physical gold, vaulted in Dubai under LBMA-approved institutional custody. Kings Orbis is structuring the programme on a single founding principle: every token in circulation must be backed by an independently verified physical asset, with institutional oversight at every stage of the lifecycle, from sourcing and refining through vaulting, tokenisation, and secondary trading.
The program is delivered through mb.io RWA, MultiBank Group’s digital asset and tokenization arm. mb.io runs a regulated crypto exchange and will be launching a dedicated marketplace for tokenized real-world assets. Self-custodial wallets and on-chain compliance are built into the platform from the ground up.
mb.io is a globally regulated cryptocurrency exchange, placing it among a small group of tokenization platforms with genuine regulatory backing in one of the world’s most active digital asset jurisdictions.
The African gold programme is one of the largest initiatives currently in active development on mb.io RWA, which is being built to support institutional-grade tokenization across multiple asset classes.
The programme is powered by Mavryk, mb.io’s dedicated Layer 1 blockchain and RWA tech infrastructure partner. Mavryk’s purpose-built infrastructure provides the technical foundation for issuing, settling, and trading tokenised physical gold at institutional scale, with the compliance hooks, lifecycle controls, and interoperability that regulated programmes require. Mavryk has been integrated as the dedicated Layer 1 across mb.io’s RWA programme, ensuring a consistent technology stack across asset classes.
Comments from the partners
Zak Taher, CEO of mb.io and Chief Business Officer of MultiBank Group, said:
This partnership represents a defining moment for real-world asset tokenisation. By bringing the heritage and value of Ashanti gold on-chain through mb.io RWA, we are giving global investors access to one of the world’s oldest and most trusted stores of value in a fully digital, fractional, and regulated form. The additional Gold Art collection adds an extraordinary cultural dimension to this initiative, connecting tradition, art, and finance in a way that has never been done before.
Christian Rainer Arndt, Managing Partner of DEVPRAG FZCO and principal of Kings Orbis FZCO, said:
Kings Orbis has been built on the principle that institutional-grade tokenisation requires institutional-grade architecture, verified supply, regulated custody, and independent oversight at every stage. Our supply partnership with EON3 Group Ghana Ltd anchors the programme in a credible institutional supply chain, and this partnership with mb.io and Mavryk brings the platform, the infrastructure, and the programme coordination into a single institutional framework. We are progressing carefully and look forward to sharing more in due course.
Richard Ofori Atta, Chairman of EON3 Group Ghana Ltd, said:
EON3 has spent years building the operational foundations to bring African gold to international markets in physical form, particularly through our minting and refining work in producing investment-grade bullion. With this partnership, we now take that work into its next chapter, digitising and tokenising African gold under institutional architecture, in collaboration with Kings Orbis, mb.io, and Mavryk. It is a natural and important evolution that opens new pathways for African gold as a credible, transparent, and globally accessible institutional asset.
Alex Davis, Co-Founder and CEO of Mavryk, said:
Mavryk was built specifically for real-world assets, with a focus that makes a programme like this possible at institutional scale. Tokenising African gold is precisely the kind of initiative our infrastructure was designed for, and a partnership we are proud to be part of. Together with mb.io, Kings Orbis, and EON3, we are powering this programme as the dedicated Layer 1 and RWA tech partner across every stage of the architecture.

Dubai, UAE, May 11th, 2026, FinanceWire
Lyrie.ai, the autonomous cybersecurity platform developed by OTT Cybersecurity LLC, today announced the completion of a $2 million pre-seed funding round and the company’s official exit from stealth. The raise will support continued platform development, security research team expansion, and the operationalization of the Agent Trust Protocol across Lyrie’s platform and partner ecosystem.
The company is preparing a Series A round to scale deployment across enterprise and government markets.
The Market Moment
Enterprise and government organizations are deploying autonomous AI agents at a pace that has outrun every existing security framework. These agents read mail, write code, execute transactions, sign contracts, and operate across sensitive systems with broad access and limited oversight. The question of who those agents are, what they are authorized to do, and whether they have been compromised has gone unanswered.
Lyrie was built to answer it.
The agentic AI economy is being built right now, and it is being built without a security foundation. Every AI agent on the internet today is effectively anonymous. No identity verification, no scope enforcement, no tamper detection. We built the infrastructure that changes that — and we built it as an open standard so the entire industry can adopt it.
said Guy Sheetrit, CEO and Founder of OTT Cybersecurity LLC, the company behind Lyrie.ai.
Use of Proceeds
The $2 million pre-seed round will fund expansion of Lyrie’s security research team, infrastructure scaling, the IETF submission process for the Agent Trust Protocol, and deeper enterprise and government partnerships.
Agent Trust Protocol — Open Infrastructure
Alongside the funding announcement, Lyrie is releasing the Agent Trust Protocol (ATP), an open cryptographic standard for AI agent identity, scope, attestation, delegation, and revocation. The protocol is royalty-free and slated for submission to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The reference implementation is available under MIT license at github.com/OTT-Cybersecurity-LLC/lyrie-ai.
ATP is designed to become the trust layer underneath the agentic AI economy — the same way SSL/TLS became the trust layer for the web.
Anthropic Cyber Verification Program
OTT Cybersecurity LLC has been accepted into Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program (CVP), Anthropic’s framework for verified dual-use cybersecurity operators. The acceptance supports Lyrie’s work around vulnerability research, offensive security tooling, and red-team workflows on Claude’s AI infrastructure, subject to Anthropic’s applicable safety and security policies.
Platform Capabilities
The Lyrie platform delivers autonomous offensive and defensive security across the full threat lifecycle:
Autonomous penetration testing — a 7-phase penetration test from a single command, with proof-of-concept exploits and code-level remediation.
Adversarial AI red-teaming — GCG and AutoDAN workflows on H200 GPU infrastructure, supporting advanced AI security evaluation.
OWASP ASI 2026 coverage — coverage mapped to the Agentic Security Initiative threat catalog.
Zero-day research — autonomous discovery workflows in compiled software via Omega-Suite binary analysis.
Rapid deployment — production-ready from consumer hardware through enterprise GPU infrastructure.
About OTT Cybersecurity LLC and Lyrie.ai
OTT Cybersecurity LLC is headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The company’s flagship product, Lyrie.ai, is the security infrastructure layer for the AI agent era. Lyrie is led by CEO and Founder Guy Sheetrit, a cybersecurity and digital infrastructure operator with a track record across enterprise and government markets in the UAE, USA, and globally.

NBA-inspired tournament challenges traders worldwide through three competitive stages: Toss, Knockout, and Buzzer-Beater.
STARTRADER, an official partner of the NBA, has announced the STAR Trading League, a global team-based tournament uniting traders in a structured, performance-driven environment. Registration runs from 11–28 May, participants select one of 30 teams via the client portal ahead of the 1 June start. The competition runs through 31 July across three stages, concluding with a single winning team, while the top two traders on the team will win tickets to an NBA game along with additional rewards.
Built around the campaign theme “Hit the Markets Buzzer Beater,” the tournament draws inspiration from the decisive final shot in basketball, highlighting how success in both sports and trading often depends on precision and timing at the right moment.
The journey begins with the Toss, the entry stage of the regular season, where participants begin competing. Similar to a basketball tip-off, this phase allows traders to position themselves for an early advantage, with performance determining which teams advance and setting the tone for the competition ahead.
The second stage, Knockout, introduces performance-based elimination, requiring teams to demonstrate consistency and strong trading strategies to remain in the tournament. As pressure rises, only teams maintaining strong results advance. This stage begins with the playoff rounds, followed by the quarterfinals.
The final stage, Buzzer-Beater, brings together the top-performing teams for the decisive rounds, beginning with the semifinals, where four teams compete for a place in the next phase. The tournament then advances to the MVP Finals, where the remaining two teams face off for the title. Victory belongs to those who perform with precision and composure in decisive moments.
Participants will compete for rewards throughout each stage of the tournament, with top-performing teams recognized along the way. The winning team of 10 traders may be eligible for tiered rewards, with prizes awarded to qualifying participants. The top two winners will receive premium rewards, including an NBA game ticket, a STARTRADER exclusive basketball, an NBA Store voucher, and a $10,000 cash prize.
Our partnership with the NBA opened the door to bringing the excitement of sport into trading. With the STAR Trading League, we wanted to build an experience that engages our global community and encourages traders to test their skills in a dynamic, competitive environment.
— Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER.
Through the STAR Trading League, launched in collaboration with the NBA, STARTRADER brings its global trading community into a competitive environment where discipline, strategy, and decisive action drive success, reflecting its ambition to deliver innovative trading experiences within a trusted and reliable ecosystem.

GoBTC Pay is a protocol that lets consumers make native and instant payments on Bitcoin’s base layer.
GoMining launches its own mining pool to prioritize GoBTC Pay transaction confirmation, targeting a 12-hour final on-chain settlement by the end of 2026.
The launch marks a strategic expansion for GoMining, a platform with 5 million users. GoBTC Pay extends this ecosystem into everyday payments.
GoMining launches GoBTC Pay a Bitcoin payment protocol that delivers on what the 2008 whitepaper promised: peer-to-peer electronic payments. GoBTC Pay enables free and instant Bitcoin payments on the core Bitcoin layer. This makes it practical to use Bitcoin at the point of sale for everyday purchases. Payments are free for end-users and merchants pay a small acquiring fee that undercuts traditional card processing.
GoBTC Pay is designed as an open infrastructure. GoMining operates the reference implementation, but any wallet provider — from Ledger to Trust Wallet to MetaMask — can integrate the protocol to offer instant Bitcoin payments to their users.
Why this matters
Bitcoin is the dominant cryptocurrency with a market cap above $1.5 trillion. Over 150 public companies hold BTC on their balance sheets. Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which didn’t exist two years ago, now manage roughly $100 billion in assets across a dozen funds. The U.S. government holds approximately 328,000 BTC. But Bitcoin still can’t process a retail transaction quickly and reliably.
The Lightning Network, introduced in 2018 to solve this problem, took seven years to reach $1 billion in monthly volume and its average transaction of $223 mostly reflects exchange-to-exchange flows, not someone paying for groceries. In the US, about 22% of adults own Bitcoin, yet there are only 2,300 U.S. businesses that accept Bitcoin directly, and the gap between how many people own Bitcoin and how many places accept it is widening.
“The first line of the Bitcoin whitepaper describes a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Bitcoin was designed to be money, not just an asset. That promise is still unfulfilled, and we intend to deliver on it,” said Mark Zalan, CEO of GoMining. “We already serve millions of users, and run data centers on three continents. All of this provides us a unique position to enable native Bitcoin payments with GoBTC Pay.”
Mining-powered confirmation
GoBTC Pay enables free and instant payments in Bitcoin, using GoMining’s own mining infrastructure to confirm the transactions. It uses a 2-of-3 multi-signature architecture shared between the user, GoMining, and a regulated third-party custodian.
GoMining serves 5 million users globally. The company has created a dedicated mining pool for processing GoBTC Pay transactions, aiming for a 12-hour on-chain settlement by the end of 2026. Where most payment companies depend on third-party pools for confirmation, GoMining mines the blocks itself.
The pool also serves GoMining’s “digital miners” — users who own tokenized hashrate through GoMining’s app. A portion of GoBTC Pay transaction fees flows back to these miners as additional BTC yield: consumers pay with BTC, merchants earn BTC, miners earn a share of payment fees, and GoMining’s pool processes the transactions.
Any wallet provider, whether hardware, software, or custodial, can connect to the GoBTC Pay network and enable instant Bitcoin payments for their users.
Bitcoin payments for Merchants
For merchants, GoBTC Pay is a Bitcoin-native acquiring network that undercuts every major card processor on cost. Its acquiring fee of 0.2% is substantially lower than traditional card processing, which range from 1.5% to 3.5% in the US. On a $100 sale, the merchant keeps $99.80.
GoMining distributes the entire fee back into the ecosystem: half goes to the miners who confirm transactions, and half goes to the wallet provider that initiated the payment. GoMining retains nothing on third-party transactions to incentivize wallet integrations and accelerate adoption.
Merchants can receive BTC directly to their own wallet, or use GoMining’s custodial merchant solution, which offers yield on their BTC balance — including during the settlement window — and an off-ramp to fiat. GoBTC Pay will ship with a dedicated PoS terminal, a web merchant dashboard, a developer SDK, and plugins for Shopify and WooCommerce in the coming months.
The launch coincides with GoMining’s major expansion in the United States. The company is building combined data centers for Bitcoin mining and AI workloads, with a target of securing 1 GW of compute capacity in 2026.
GoMining presented a live demo of GoBTC Pay at Consensus Miami 2026 (May 5–7, Miami Beach Convention Center).
About GoMining

POZNAŃ, POLAND, May 8th, 2026, FinanceWire
Soralios, a leader in intelligent AI and marketing automation, today announced the launch of AVAATR, a revolutionary AI digital cloning platform. Unlike traditional digital clones that merely replicate a user’s likeness, AVAATR is designed to act as a “Better Self”—an optimized, 24/7 version of an individual that manages communications, scales expertise, and enhances professional presence without the burnout.
As the creator economy and remote work sectors explode, professionals face a “scaling ceiling.” While platforms like Delphi.ai have introduced the world to digital cloning for experts and influencers, Soralios is taking the technology a step further by integrating its deep heritage in marketing psychology and workflow automation into a living, breathing digital twin.
Limitless Scalability: What Users Can Do With AVAATR
By leveraging the same high-tier capabilities found in industry-leading expert clones, the Soralios AVAATR serves as a sophisticated extension of the professional identity. For experts, coaches, and consultants, the AVAATR acts as a 24/7 interactive knowledge hub that can engage in high-fidelity voice and video conversations with thousands of people simultaneously. It can be trained on the unique “brain”—including books, podcasts, YouTube videos, and private Slack messages—to provide advice that sounds exactly like the user. Whether it is conducting initial coaching consultations, answering complex technical questions for the community, or providing personalized mentorship to students at 3:00 AM, the AVAATR ensures the expertise is never “offline.” It can even integrate into the website or social media DM’s to capture leads and schedule meetings, effectively acting as a world-class salesperson that possesses the exact knowledge and charm.
How AVAATR Redefines the Digital Clone:
Beyond Replication: While other platforms focus on “Digital Minds” for knowledge sharing, AVAATR focuses on Action. It analyzes the most successful interactions and deal-closing language to represent user at absolute peak.
Omnichannel Presence: AVAATR isn’t locked into a single widget. It is designed to deploy across social platforms, meeting rooms, and CRM systems, acting as a seamless extension of the personal brand.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Tuning: Using Soralios’s proprietary “Better Self” algorithm, the AI can be tuned to be more empathetic, more persuasive, or more concise than a standard transcript-based clone.
“Most AI clones are just archives. We wanted to build a partner,” said Stefan Noah, Chief Innovation at Soralios. “AVAATR doesn’t just repeat what you’ve said; it helps you reclaim your time. It’s about giving you the freedom to live your life while your ‘Better Self’ handles the labor of being everywhere at once.”
Early Access & Exclusive “100-Day” Offer
To celebrate the launch, Soralios is opening a global waiting list. In a move to disrupt the market and empower early adopters, Soralios has announced an exclusive “Founders 100” reward:
The first 100 users to sign up for the waiting list will receive their custom AI AVAATR for FREE for 100 days. This includes full voice and video cloning, deep-knowledge base integration, and priority support to ensure their digital twin is perfectly calibrated for professional use.
Joining the Future of Identity
Professionals, creators, and CEOs can secure their spot on the waiting list starting today by visiting: https://soralios.com/

Boca Raton, United States, May 6th, 2026, FinanceWire
1,024 traders. Ten days of head-to-head elimination. Twenty-four invited Outlaws each carrying a $5,000 bounty. Sign-ups open today; the bracket runs May 17 through June 5.
Tradeify today opened registration for The Grand Cup 2: Outlaws, a free-to-enter simulated trading tournament with a $1,000,000 prize pool. The format pairs an open five-day qualifier with a 1,024-trader single-elimination bracket and a $5,000 bounty on each of 24 invited “Outlaw” competitors. Registration is open now at tradeify.co/grandcup; the qualifier runs May 17-22, and the bracket runs May 26 through the championship on June 5.
The Boca Raton-based prop firm has paid more than $200 million to funded traders since launching in 2024. Grand Cup 2 is the second running of the tournament, following the inaugural Grand Cup in 2025.
How the format works
Participation in the qualifier is free of charge. Entrants trade a $50,000 simulated account with a $2,500 drawdown over five trading days, capped at one mini contract or ten micro contracts. Rankings are based on ending account balance, and the top 1,000 traders advance into the bracket.
In the head-to-head stage, qualifiers are paired against each other in single-day matchups on a fresh $50,000 simulated account with no drawdown rule. Whichever trader has the higher ending balance advances. Both traders must take at least three trades and hold each one for longer than ten seconds in their matchup. Failure to meet that requirement is an automatic loss.
The bracket cuts the field in half every day. Day 1 takes 1,024 traders down to 512, Day 2 to 256, and so on. The final two square off on June 5 to crown a Champion.
The Outlaws and the bounty
Twenty-four traders, hand-picked by Tradeify, will enter the bracket directly as Outlaws. Any trader who eliminates an Outlaw collects a $5,000 bounty on top of their round prize money.
Prize pool
The total prize pool is $1,000,000. The winner takes $200,000. The remaining $800,000 is paid out in $80,000 tranches across the ten elimination rounds, split evenly among the traders eliminated in each round.
That puts $80,000 in the runner-up’s pocket, $40,000 with each of the two semifinalists, and $20,000 with each of the four quarterfinalists.
Platforms, instruments, and resets
The Grand Cup 2 will be on NinjaTrader/Tradovate and Rithmic-based platforms such as Tradesea. Each entrant uses a single account. Qualifier participants who bust their account can reset up to three times at $29 per reset. Resets are available throughout the qualifier window only; not available during the bracket.
Commentary from leadership
Brett Simberkoff, Chief Executive Officer, Tradeify: “The Grand Cup is the most fun thing we do all year. Last year proved it. Traders flood in when the format is fair, the rules are clear, and the prize is massive! This year we wanted to raise the stakes – literally – by inviting twenty-four of the sharpest traders we know to compete with a big red target on their backs. Knock one out? You get a fat bounty paid on the spot. That’s the kind of competition our community wants to watch. Think Gladiator…..but better.”
Key dates
May 6, 2026. Registration opens.
May 17, 2026. Qualifier begins at market open.
May 22, 2026. Qualifier closes at market close. Top 1,000 advance.
May 26, 2026. Head-to-head bracket begins at market open.
June 5, 2026. Final showdown. Champion crowned at market close.

The New Standard for Web3 Management: Walletverse Users Gain Access to the Limitless Liquidity and Ironclad Privacy of StealthEX
The boundaries between decentralized storage and high-frequency trading are blurring. In a move that signals a major leap forward for self-custodial finance, Walletverse, the burgeoning powerhouse of multi-chain asset management, has officially announced its integration with StealthEX, a premier non-custodial instant crypto exchange. This partnership effectively transforms the Walletverse interface into an all-in-one digital command center, allowing users to exchange more cryptocurrencies without ever leaving the security of their private vault.
The Evolution of Web3 and the Demand for Seamless Sovereignty
The cryptocurrency industry is currently navigating a period of profound transformation. Following the high-profile collapses of several centralized entities over the past few years, the global user base has undergone a collective “awakening” regarding the importance of self-custody. However, for a long time, choosing self-custody meant sacrificing the convenience of centralized exchanges. Users were forced to jump between multiple platforms, bridge assets across fragmented layers, and navigate complex KYC hurdles just to swap one token for another.
As the Web3 ecosystem matures, the demand for “Seamless Sovereignty”, the ability to maintain total control over one’s keys while enjoying the fluid liquidity of a professional exchange, has reached a fever pitch. The integration of StealthEX into Walletverse is a direct response to this demand. By bridging the gap between a high-security wallet and a limitless exchange engine, this partnership offers a glimpse into the future of decentralized finance (DeFi): a world where speed, variety, and security are no longer mutually exclusive.
Breaking Down the Walletverse x StealthEX Partnership
At its core, the integration of the StealthEX API into the Walletverse mobile and desktop application is designed to eliminate friction. For the end-user, the process of trading is no longer an external “event” that requires moving funds; it is an integrated feature of their daily asset management.
Access to 2,000+ Cryptocurrencies
The most immediate benefit of this partnership is the sheer breadth of the market now available to Walletverse users. While many wallet-based swaps are restricted to popular assets like BTC, ETH, and stablecoins, the StealthEX engine provides access to over 2,000 assets:
Layer-1 and Layer-2 Protocols: From Ethereum and Solana to the latest scaling solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism.
Privacy Coins: Securely trade assets like Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC).
Emerging Altcoins: Access “gem” tokens and niche projects that have yet to hit major centralized exchanges.
How the Magic Happens
The technical synergy between the two platforms ensures that swaps are executed with maximum efficiency. When a user initiates a swap within Walletverse, the StealthEX algorithm instantly scans a network of liquidity providers to find the best possible rate. Because StealthEX is an instant crypto exchange, there are no order books to manage and no waiting for a “buyer” on the other side.
StealthEX: Limitless and Private Exchanges
StealthEX has established itself as a cornerstone of the privacy-centric trading community since its inception in 2018. As a non-custodial instant exchange, it operates on a philosophy of “minimal interference,” providing the plumbing for the crypto economy without overstepping into user privacy.
Privacy Without Compromise
In an era of increasing surveillance, StealthEX stands out by offering a no-registration model. Users do not need to create accounts, remember passwords, or share personal emails to perform a swap. For the majority of standard transactions, there is no mandatory KYC, making it the go-to choice for users who value the original cypherpunk ethos of the blockchain.
Key Features of StealthEX:
Self-Custodial Integrity: At no point during the exchange does StealthEX hold your funds. The assets move from your wallet to the exchange provider and back to your wallet in one fluid motion controlled by smart logic, ensuring you remain the sole owner of your private keys.
Limitless Trading: Unlike centralized platforms that impose tiered withdrawal limits based on identity verification, StealthEX allows for limitless exchange amounts, catering to both retail hobbyists and large-scale “whales.”
Cross-Chain Mastery: StealthEX excels at cross-chain swaps, allowing users to move from BTC on its native chain to ETH on ERC-20 (or vice versa) without needing a third-party bridge or a centralized intermediary.
Walletverse: The Ultimate Crypto Companion
While StealthEX provides the engine, Walletverse provides the vessel. Walletverse is designed to be much more than a simple storage tool; it is a sophisticated portal into the decentralized world.
Top-Tier Security and Self-Custody
Walletverse is built on the foundation of uncompromising security. As a self-custody crypto wallet, it ensures that users are the absolute masters of their financial destiny. Private keys are encrypted and stored locally on the user’s device, never touching a centralized server. This “Air-Gap” philosophy protects users from the systemic risks associated with exchange hacks or platform insolvencies.
Strengths of the Walletverse Ecosystem:
Intuitive UI/UX: One of the primary barriers to crypto adoption is complexity. Walletverse counters this with a sleek, minimalist interface that makes managing thousands of tokens as easy as using a traditional banking app.
Multi-Chain Support: Walletverse is a truly multi-chain crypto wallet, supporting a vast array of blockchains. This allows users to view their entire portfolio across different ecosystems in a single, unified dashboard.
Web3 dApp Integration: Beyond storage and swapping, Walletverse acts as a browser for the decentralized web. Users can connect to NFT marketplaces, yield farming protocols, and decentralized social networks directly through the app.
By integrating StealthEX, Walletverse reinforces its position as the best multi-chain crypto wallet for users who want to stay active in the market while keeping their assets safe.
The Future of Self-Custody and Decentralized Swaps
The partnership between Walletverse and StealthEX arrives at a critical juncture for the industry. The “Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins” movement is no longer just a slogan—it is a survival strategy. However, for decentralized finance to achieve mass adoption, it must match the user experience of the centralized systems it aims to replace.
This integration represents the “Third Way” of crypto management:
Centralized (CEX): Fast and Easy, but Risky and Invasive.
Pure Decentralized (DEX): Secure and Private, but often complex and limited to a single chain.
The Walletverse x StealthEX Way: The security of a private wallet, the privacy of a no-KYC exchange, and the liquidity to swap 2,000+ cryptocurrencies across different chains instantly.
As we look toward the next bull cycle, the winners in the space will be the platforms that empower the user without restricting them. By removing the walls around the wallet, Walletverse and StealthEX are fostering a more open, resilient, and liquid crypto economy.
Join the Revolution in Your Pocket
The integration of StealthEX into Walletverse is a milestone for both projects, but more importantly, it is a win for the global crypto community. It provides a robust, private, and incredibly diverse trading environment that fits right in your pocket.
Whether you are a seasoned DeFi degen looking to swap into the latest altcoin or a newcomer seeking a safe way to diversify your first Bitcoin purchase, the combination of Walletverse’s secure architecture and StealthEX’s massive asset library provides everything you need to navigate the Web3 landscape with confidence.

SOSANA, a new crypto platform built on Solana, has officially launched to help users filter and find legitimate cryptocurrency projects to avoid getting burned.
Thousands of new tokens are launched every day, and most users struggle to figure out what’s real, risky, or actually worth their attention. Investors chase projects in a cycle of “shiny object syndrome,” jumping between projects without a structured way to evaluate and losing money. SOSANA solves this by creating a system where rules are enforced automatically, instead of relying on hype, influencers, or opinion.
SOSANA is the filter for crypto, where participation, visibility, and outcomes are controlled by enforceable rules instead of human discretion.
A New Approach to Trust
Most crypto platforms rely on reputation, followers, or moderation, but these systems are often manipulated, reset, or faked.
SOSANA’s uses a gated, verifiable community model where:
Users are tied to wallet-based identities
Participation is restricted based on clear requirements
Actions are recorded and cannot be erased
Reviews and complaints are publicly visible
Outcomes are executed automatically through smart contracts
The result is a system where behavior has consequences, and where users can evaluate projects based on structured data instead of noise.
Crypto’s real problem isn’t demand, it’s actually discovery,
said David Track, Founder of SOSANA. The world has an infinite supply of tokens, but it has a finite amount of attention.
Community Discovery Is a Structured Process
A core feature of the platform is its bi-weekly “Safe from SOSANA” crowdsourced list.
Verified SOSANA users nominate and vote on tokens, and the highest-ranking projects gain visibility within the ecosystem. Participation is limited to users who meet specific requirements, reducing manipulation and increasing accountability.
Contributors earn rewards based on successful nominations and accurate voting, turning what is typically chaotic, unfiltered community sentiment into a structured, repeatable discovery process.
Built with Total Transparency
SOSANA’s token model is designed to provide assurance:
Fixed supply of 88,888,888 tokens
No minting or inflation
No hidden emissions
Time-based vesting enforced automatically
All activity publicly verifiable on-chain
The platform applies a transparent 3% transaction tax to buys, sells, and transfers. This supports liquidity, community rewards, and ecosystem growth while discouraging exploitative trading behavior.
Crypto adoption is in its early stages, but the number of tokens grows exponentially. Without better systems for filtering and accountability, attention becomes fragmented and trust breaks down. SOSANA confronts this by reducing the noise in crypto and verifying legitimate projects, while enforcing rules that prevent manipulation.
If rules aren’t enforced, they’re just suggestions,
Track added. We’re building a system that no one can override how it works for the protection of users.
Users can onboard into the Sosana community by watching the intro presentation and submitting their details here.
About SOSANA
SOSANA is a Solana-based enforcement layer for crypto markets, designed to replace trust-based systems with automated, transparent execution. By combining identity verification, community-driven discovery, and on-chain enforcement, SOSANA creates a structured environment for evaluating and engaging with digital assets.
