According to a recent on-chain study, the Bitcoin market has entered another crucial phase, driven by a growing divergence between retail and whale activity. Whale Positioning Diverges Sharply From Retail Optimism In an X post on May 16, crypto analyst Joao Wedson highlights a clear schism between Bitcoin retail and whale activity. This post’s assertion is based on readings obtained from the Bitcoin: Whale Vs Retail Delta metric. For context, the metric monitors the difference in trading behavior between large Bitcoin holders (whales) and retail traders. By extension, it helps in identifying whether smart money is becoming more bullish or…

London-based Lansdowne Partners has launched a venture capital fund to support high-potential UK companies emerging from the country’s leading university research base and startup ecosystem.  The fund announces a first close at €128.9 million ($150 million) and plans to hold a second and final close in December, with indicated investor interest exceeding the fund’s €171.9 million ($200 million) cap.  The fund is anchored by British Business Bank, Aviva Investors, and Lloyds Banking Group, with additional backing from Lansdowne Investors and internal partners’ capital.  “The UK has at least as much intellectual property per capita as any country in the world.…

What does it take to build truly generational wealth over time? Undoubtedly, for Canadians looking to build a nest egg that’s large enough to be passed down through the generations, one must think of full-on growth. And, if possible, pushing out that expected retirement date. While passing on such a sizeable legacy isn’t everybody’s goal, I think that those who have a higher risk tolerance and ability to ride out the waves in the latter years of their career (think at around traditional retirement age) have a better shot to produce a nest egg that can last numerous decades. Apart…

I know you are here because your performance cycle is probably broken.

Good news for frequent travellers in the UK as American Express has now added ALL Accor as a new Membership Rewards transfer partner. This means eligible American Express cardholders in the UK can now transfer their Membership Rewards points directly to the ALL Accor loyalty programme and redeem them for hotel stays across Accor’s global network. Transfer Ratio The newly introduced transfer ratio is: 300 Membership Rewards points = 100 ALL Accor Reward points Users can initiate transfers through the Membership Rewards portal, subject to applicable terms and conditions. That gives a point value of as low as 66ps/point which is quite poor for…

Ethereum pressure mounts as the ETHBTC pair breaks down from a key descending triangle structure. The weakening performance against Bitcoin suggests that bearish momentum may still be dominating the market, leaving Ethereum vulnerable to deeper pullbacks unless bulls quickly reclaim critical resistance levels.  ETHBTC Trendline Rejection Keeps Pressure On Ethereum Crypto analyst Ardi recently pointed out that Ethereum continues to face weakness against Bitcoin as ETHBTC keeps rejecting a major descending trendline. Repeated rejections from this structure increase the likelihood of Ethereum printing fresh cycle lows against the US dollar if broader market conditions weaken further. Meanwhile, ETHBTC is starting…

When the Artemis II crew splashed down in April 2026, completing the first crewed lunar mission in more than fifty years, the procurement machinery behind the mission had already turned its attention forward.  The 2,700-plus suppliers across 47 states who contributed to the flight, from ground support fabricators to suppliers of space-grade electronic components, were being repositioned around Artemis III, a landing mission, and the longer-range infrastructure questions that follow. For defense services contractors like HX5, which has spent the past several years building a NASA presence alongside its defense portfolio, that shift is the opening they have been preparing…

Sebastián Marset, the Uruguayan drug trafficker dubbed the ‘modern Pablo Escobar,’ was captured in Bolivia on March 13 and is now under U.S. custody, accused of laundering millions through crypto networks. The case has triggered a joint investigation between Bolivia’s Special Anti-Narcotics Force (FELCN) and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, which met in Washington this week to coordinate their next moves against his alleged financial empire. The question isn’t whether crypto can be used for crime. Clearly, it can; crypto laundering volumes hit $82 billion in 2025, according to blockchain intelligence firm Chainalysis, up from $10 billion in 2020. The real…
