A new kind of prop firm where traders prove their skills risk-free, with no personal funds on the line, and earn up to 90% of the profits when they pass.

Volt Funded today opened to new traders around the world. Learn more at voltfunded.com. The firm offers a new kind of prop trading: instead of risking their own savings, traders use a simulated account to prove their skills. Those who pass the challenge earn the chance to make real payouts, without their own money ever being on the line.

Starting out in trading can feel risky and out of reach. Many people worry about losing their savings before they ever learn how it works. Volt Funded was built to take that fear away, giving new traders a safe place to learn, clear rules to follow, and the chance to earn real money once they prove they can trade.

Trading Education and Evaluation

Volt Funded is on a mission to make trading something anyone can learn safely. The firm teaches a simple, step-by-step way to trade, with built-in limits that protect traders along the way. Its vision is a world where no one has to risk their own savings to find out if they can trade, a world where learning is safe and skill gets rewarded.

Start Safely: Rules That Protect Traders

At Volt Funded, trader safety comes first. The firm does not hand traders money and leave them to guess. It provides a clear plan from day one.

Traders always know their limits. Safe loss limits stop them from losing too much. Simple rules keep them on track. Clear goals show them exactly what to aim for.

Profit Sharing Model

Once traders show they can follow the rules, they earn a funded account with up to $100,000 to trade with. This is simulated capital, but the profits earned are real, and traders keep 90% of them.

There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no timer rushing trades. Traders can take their time and trade the right way. If they become profitable, Volt Funded pays out every two weeks.

Every account also comes with a simple, reliable platform, low trading costs, and friendly support in many languages, so trading feels easy from the very first day.

Trader Feedback

Traders who have completed the challenge and reached a funded account have been sharing their experience directly, from working through the rules to receiving their first payout. See their stories on Instagram, or join the conversation on Discord.

Launch Promotion

To mark its global launch, Volt Funded is giving every new trader 30% off their first challenge with the code TRYVOLT. Those who pass receive their next challenge free.

A challenge is simply a short test that shows a trader can follow the rules. It is the easiest, lowest-cost way to begin. Traders can sign up at voltfunded.com/signup.

No one needs a fortune to start, only the willingness to learn the right way. For new traders, the journey begins with a single challenge.

About Volt Funded

After passing a simple challenge, they can earn a funded account of up to $100,000 in simulated capital, keep 90% of their profits, and get paid every two weeks, with no time limits and no hidden fees.

MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has listed five new Ondo tokenized stock trading pairs on Spot, expanding user access to stocks spanning AI infrastructure, semiconductors, enterprise software and rare earth materials.

The new pairs are AXTION/USDT (AXT Inc), AEHRON/USDT (Aehr Test Systems), APLDON/USDT (Applied Digital), USARON/USDT (USA Rare Earth) and SAPON/USDT (SAP SE). The pairs went live on Spot on August 6, 2026, at 13:30 (UTC), with deposits now open. Withdrawals will open on August 7, 2026, at 13:30 (UTC).

Report data jointly published by MEXC and CoinGecko shows that demand for stock-related products on crypto exchanges rose notably in 2026. U.S. stock trading volume across six major centralized exchanges climbed 337.4% month over month in June to $189.84 billion, representing 48.3% of total TradFi volume and overtaking precious metals as the largest traditional-asset category for the first time. Over the same period, MEXC’s own monthly TradFi volume expanded roughly 59-fold, reaching $91.12 billion in May, while the platform ranked second by monthly market share among the six exchanges tracked for five consecutive months.

The report also found that crypto-native users are increasingly moving into traditional-asset trading. In contrast, some users with a traditional-finance background have begun shifting their trading activity to crypto exchanges, driven by round-the-clock access, lower barriers to entry, faster execution, and the ability to manage multiple asset classes from a single account. In response to this trend, MEXC has continued to expand its U.S. stock asset coverage, giving users worldwide a more efficient, lower-barrier, one-stop trading experience.

This listing marks the 27th batch of tokenized stock pairs introduced through MEXC’s collaboration with Ondo. Ondo tokenized stocks allow retail and institutional users outside the United States to instantly mint and redeem tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs 24 hours a day, five days a week. MEXC will continue to work with Ondo to bring users broader on-chain access to traditional securities.

In addition, MEXC has launched MEXC 0808: Stock Season, its annual brand event centered on “0 Fees” and “Infinite Opportunities”, running from August 8 to August 28 (UTC). Early bird registration is now open. During the event, MEXC will waive trading fees on Stock Futures, Tokenized Stocks and RealStocks. More details are available on the event page.

About MEXC

MEXC is the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, trusted by more than 40 million users across 170+ markets. Built on a user-first philosophy, MEXC offers industry-leading 0-fee trading and access to over 3,000 digital assets. As the Gateway to Infinite Opportunities, MEXC provides a single platform where users can easily trade cryptocurrencies alongside tokenized assets, including stocks, ETFs, commodities, and precious metals.

PU Prime has launched XAUUSD247, a new offering that enables clients to trade gold 24 hours a day, seven days a week on MT5. Gold remains one of the world’s most actively traded safe-haven assets, with prices responding rapidly to geopolitical events, central bank policies, inflation expectations, and shifts in investor sentiment.

Earlier this year, gold surged to nearly US$5,600 per ounce in January as investors flocked to safe-haven assets amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. While prices have since retreated from their peak, the World Gold Council’s research notes that gold remains one of the top-performing assets over the past year.

“Gold CFDs have consistently been among the most actively traded products on the PU Prime platform,” said Daniel Bruce, Managing Director at PU Prime. “With many factors continuing to influence prices at all times of the day, traders increasingly expect flexibility to react whenever opportunities arise. The launch of XAUUSD247 enables clients to trade gold CFDs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, giving them uninterrupted access to this precious metal.”

The introduction of XAUUSD247 allows traders to access the gold market 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing greater flexibility beyond conventional trading hours. As financial markets increasingly operate around the clock, PU Prime remains focused on delivering trading solutions that provide clients with greater flexibility, convenience and access to global opportunities.

The revitalised basketball court gives approximately 2,000 future healthcare professionals a dedicated space to recharge, connect, and build community activities beyond their academic training.

STARCARES, the community impact initiative of STARTRADER, has completed the redevelopment of the basketball court at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, giving approximately 2,000 students a dedicated space for recreation, teamwork, and campus connection beyond their medical training.

Located in Idi-Araba, Surulere, the College has 1,850 staff across 32 departments. Since welcoming its first 28 medical students in 1962, it has grown into a highly competitive institution for training doctors, dentists, and allied health professionals.

The redevelopment introduced a renewed playing surface, basketball infrastructure, benches, jerseys, and equipment designed to support regular student use. More than a sports upgrade, the court provides a practical outlet from the demands of medical education, giving students a place to move, reset, compete, and connect as a community.

“When an institution prepares people to safeguard a nation’s health, their environment should sustain them. This court reflects our belief that ambition grows stronger when people have space to breathe, belong, and return to their goals renewed.” Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER

The transformation was marked by groundbreaking and turnover ceremonies, with students stepping onto the completed court and bringing the new space into immediate use.

Developed under the theme “Where Tomorrow STARs Begin,” the initiative reflects STARCARES’ commitment to creating infrastructure intended to support communities beyond the ceremony. By transforming existing spaces into places of participation and possibility, STARCARES is investing not only in facilities, but in the everyday experiences that help communities thrive.

Tel Aviv, Israel, August 6th, 2026, FinanceWire

 Inevitable AI Group (IAIG), an AI-native venture studio founded by veteran technology entrepreneurs, today announced a $6 million pre-seed funding round led by Aleph. The company is building and launching dozens of AI-native software businesses designed to capitalize on the rapidly changing economics of software development.

Founded by Nimrod Lehavi and Ofer Bar-Or, IAIG was created around the thesis that advances in artificial intelligence are enabling small teams to build, launch, and scale software products faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Rather than building a single company, IAIG operates as a venture studio, partnering with entrepreneurs to launch AI-native products in a matter of weeks in identified and proven software markets and providing them with all of the tools to grow rapidly.

The process starts with meticulous selection, development, go-to-market execution, operations, and growth. By leveraging AI across the company-building process, IAIG achieves feature parity with established software products in weeks while dramatically reducing operating costs.

Since launching in January, IAIG has already created and launched five ventures and expects to launch dozens more by year-end. The company focuses on post market fit proven software categories with established demand and opportunities where AI can significantly improve efficiency, accessibility, or pricing.

“We believe AI is changing the foundations of how software businesses are built, marketed, grow and exit,” said Nimrod Lehavi, founder and CEO of IAIG. “Many of today’s software companies were designed for a different technological era. We see an opportunity to build a new generation of companies that can move faster, operate more efficiently, and deliver greater value to customers.”

Established software companies often face challenges adapting to AI due to legacy technology, complex architectures, and slower operating models. AI-native companies, by contrast, can automate large portions of development and operations while serving customers with significantly smaller teams.

“SaaS isn’t dying, it’s being reinvented,” said Eden Shochat, Equal Partner at Aleph. “AI gives customers the ability to create tools tailored to their needs on demand. We backed IAIG because the team understands that the winners of this transition will be those building entirely new categories of software.”

Lehavi previously founded, managed and sold Simplex to Nuvei for 300MM, while Bar-Or brings more than 30 years of entrepreneurial experience spanning telecommunications, semiconductors, internet infrastructure, machine learning, and deep technology. A graduate of Israel’s Talpiot program, Bar-Or also spent seven years in the Israeli space program.

“The biggest challenge in startups has always been finding something the market truly needs and then executing well,” said Ofer Bar-Or, founder and COO of IAIG. “AI is dramatically reducing the barriers to execution, allowing entrepreneurs to spend more time solving meaningful problems and less time navigating the complexity of software development.”

IAIG believes the next phase of the software industry will be defined by smaller, more efficient organizations capable of delivering enterprise-grade products at lower cost and higher speed. The company also expects acquisitions, partnerships, and integrations between AI-native startups and established software providers to become increasingly common as the industry adapts to AI-driven change. Looking ahead, IAIG plans to expand its network of founders, enter additional software categories, and continue refining a venture-building model designed specifically for the AI era.

About IAIG

IAIG is an AI-native venture studio that partners with solo entrepreneurs to select, build, launch, and scale software companies for the age of artificial intelligence. The company identifies proven software markets and works alongside founders to develop AI-first products through a combination of venture-building infrastructure, operational expertise, and AI-driven execution. Based in Israel, IAIG’s mission is to enable a new generation of entrepreneurs to create software companies that are faster to build, more efficient to operate, and better aligned with the opportunities created by advances in artificial intelligence.
