Tax hikes, geopolitical turmoil and threats such as cybersecurity attacks require private client advisors to examine how to protect HNW individuals and their families. And the full range of tools in the box must be employed, a recent conference in Monaco heard.
Threats come in many forms. The UK is ending the resident non-domicile system; Norway has introduced a wealth tax; France has a wealth tax on worldwide properties; and the UK is now taxing the estates of deceased business owners and farmers. In the US, the worldwide system of tax shows no sign of ending, and American politics are ever more polarised. Conflicts in parts of the world put a higher premium on security, as do problems such as crime in the streets of major cities.

In the face of constantly evolving risks and cyber threats, the application of advanced protocols becomes an indispensable pillar for building trust and ensuring secure transactions.
On April 12, 2025, the cryptocurrency market continues to record notable changes, with Bitcoin $BTC the leading digital currency showing signs of slight recovery after a strong correction in the first week of April.
1. BTC price situation: Slight recovery
As of the morning of April 12, Bitcoin's trading price is around 83,415 USD, slightly up from the previous session's average. This is the first time in nearly a week that BTC has shown signs of stability around an important technical support level. This movement indicates that buyers are trying to regain control after a series of significant declines from the 88,000 USD range.
For example, we’ve seen a few crypto projects where the description appears overly technical. The SEC says the business description must be “presented in clear, concise, and understandable language, without overly relying on technical terminology or jargon.”
Some crypto projects have pseudonymous founders. The problem is someone who is extremely dodgy and has been convicted of crimes will embrace the opportunity to take on a pseudonymous persona. While the guidance doesn’t mention pseudonymous founders, it clarifies that officers have to be identified, including those that may not have formal roles but “perform policy-making functions”.

Diversification is a core principle of sound investing: A portfolio that includes assets with different performance characteristics often leads to better risk-adjusted returns than one that relies on a single asset class.
But building a diversified portfolio can be easier in theory than practice, as many asset classes often touted as good portfolio diversifiers may not live up to their reputation.
In cryptocurrency trading, particularly with Bitcoin, I use a combination of fixed stop-losses and trailing stop-losses to minimize risks and maximize profits. I set fixed stop-losses based on technical levels: key support zones that I determine using charts and my risk tolerance, usually no more than 5% of the deposit. For example, if I buy BTC at $81,000 and the nearest support is at $78,000, I place the stop-loss slightly lower — at $77,500, to avoid false triggers due to volatility.
Liberation Day was supposed to invigorate the U.S. economy, at least according to the Trump administration. And logically, it would seem to make sense, as protectionist policies should in theory bolster domestic enterprises. Unfortunately, the market had other ideas. Over the past five sessions, the benchmark S&P 500 lost 9.5%, which many would consider a strong repudiation of the president’s mandate.

Irrespective of one’s political preferences, though, President Trump succeeded in a key area: he crafted an unprecedented platform for market speculation.
Successful investing isn’t just about strategy, analysis, or market timing — it’s also about how effectively you manage your own mindset. Emotions such as fear, greed, overconfidence, and regret can have a powerful influence on financial decisions, often more than data or logic.
That’s why developing emotional self-awareness is critical for traders and long-term investors alike. Behavioural finance — the study of how people actually behave (rather than how we think they should) — provides valuable tools for recognising unhelpful patterns and making better decisions.
Books in this area can be particularly insightful. They offer structured frameworks, practical exercises, and psychological insights that help investors cultivate discipline, emotional control, and confidence under pressure.

The Biggest Crypto Hack Ever - Lessons in Security & Staying SAFU 🔒💰
Wednesday #159 - February 26, 2025

Feb 27, 2025
Bitcoin
Oh, the crypto market’s been sobbing into its blockchain pillow lately—total market cap slumped to around $3.1 trillion as of late February 2025, a grim 3% drop in just 24 hours. Bitcoin’s sulking at $89,000, Ethereum’s wiping tears at $2,400, and Solana’s just wandering around $140. The Bybit hack—yep, that $1.4 billion Ethereum heist by sneaky hackers (possibly North Korea’s Lazarus Group)—kicked things off, spooking everyone. Then, U.S. economic jitters, like stronger-than-expected jobs data and uncertainty around Trump’s pro-crypto promises, had investors yanking their money faster than a bad Tinder date. Even leveraged traders got liquidated, losing over $268 million in a flash—ouch, talk about a crypto heartbreak!

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is looking to reset its relationship with the crypto industry, even before a permanent chair is confirmed by Congress. The latest effort was Friday's roundtable, hosted at the SEC's headquarters in Washington, D.C. and featuring a dozen attorneys representing different views and positions within the crypto industry
price fell below $2,200 on March 9 and has struggled to recover since. The altcoin is down 14% in March and the decline has hurt investor sentiment, especially as the broader crypto market only dropped 4% in the same period.
Adding to the bearish sentiment, traders are also worried about further ETH price corrections after a 34% weekly drop in decentralized exchange (DEX) activ
