  • B2binpay Brings White Label Solution to Sigma World 2026 and Headline Nexus Elite Golf Tour as Main Sponsor

    Antiguo Cuscatlan, El Salvador, October 19th, 2026, FinanceWire

    The company will present its white label payment platform software in Hall 6 (B2B) at Stand H6-6057, Fiera Roma, 2–5 November

    B2BINPAY, a provider of cryptocurrency payments software, will exhibit at SiGMA World 2026, held 2–5 November in Rome, Italy. The company will present its White Label Platform in Hall 6 at Stand H6-6057. B2BINPAY is also the Main Sponsor of the Nexus Elite Golf Tour, the executive golf day that opens the event week on 2 November.

    SiGMA World 2026 is expected to welcome more than 30,000 delegates and over 1,200 sponsors and exhibitors, with nearly half of attendees holding C-level roles. Four events share the venue: SiGMA (gaming), AIBC (AI, blockchain and emerging technology), FX World (financial markets and fintech) and the Affiliate Grand Slam (affiliate marketing).

    The Payment Core Behind Your Business

    At Stand H6-6057, the B2BINPAY team will meet platform providers, payment companies, brokers, fintechs, and technology partners interested in launching a digital asset payment offering under their own brand.

    The B2BINPAY Solution combines:

    • White label platform: a business’s own payment offering, powered by B2BINPAY infrastructure;
    • Branded interface: a customisable customer-facing experience under the client’s brand;
    • Blockchain wallets: ready-to-use wallet infrastructure for 50+ digital currencies;
    • Real-time conversion: conversion between any supported assets, processed within seconds;
    • Security controls: multiple operational controls to secure platform management, aligned with ISO 27001;
    • API & integrations: connectivity to the client’s existing business and technology stack.

    Visitors can see live demonstrations of the platform throughout the expo days.

    Main Sponsor of the SiGMA Nexus Elite Golf Tour

    On 2 November, B2BINPAY will host senior executives as Main Sponsor of the SiGMA Nexus Elite Golf Tour at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club, venue of the 2023 Ryder Cup, the first edition of the tournament held in Italy.

    The invitation-only tour is part of SiGMA’s executive networking programme, which brings C-level conversations onto the golf course alongside SiGMA’s flagship summits. The Rome edition is open to SiGMA World Platinum ticket holders with previous golfing experience. Guests will play 18 holes across almost 100 hectares of Roman countryside. The day includes breakfast, lunch and prizes, with the Marco Simone castle, an ancient Roman villa and views of St Peter’s Dome along the course.

    Alex Ryzhkin, Chief Commercial Officer of B2BINPAY, said: More businesses want a digital asset payment product with their own name on it, and few of them want to spend years building the infrastructure underneath. That’s the gap our white label solution fills: their brand, our infrastructure. SiGMA World puts the companies facing that decision in one place for four days, and the golf day gives us something rarer: a few unhurried hours with the people who make it.

    Attendees can schedule meetings with the B2BINPAY team ahead of the event via LinkedIn or visit Stand H6-6057 during expo hours.

  • Plugsic Delta-Zero Protocol Logs Zero Down Months Across 9-Month Live Audit

    New York, NY, USA, October 15th, 2026, FinanceWire

    Plugsic Releases Nine-Month Performance Audit for “Delta-Zero” Protocol: Audit Records Zero Down Months Across Historical Beta Evaluation

    Sovereign Execution platform review observes 0.018 market beta and capital preservation across three consecutive quarters of digital asset volatility.

    Plugsic, a financial technology infrastructure provider, today published the independent nine-month performance audit of its proprietary “Delta-Zero” risk management protocol. Deployed across the company’s Sovereign Execution platform in January 2026, historical evaluation data from the protocol observed capital preservation, zero negative months during the evaluation window, and an annualized Sharpe ratio of 3.14 through three quarters of digital asset market volatility.

    As macroeconomic uncertainty and digital asset volatility persist throughout 2026, capital preservation remains a core focus for self-directed allocators. Plugsic’s protocol addresses this by systematically targeting the pricing spread (basis) between spot and derivative instruments. By automating real-time counter-hedges millisecond-by-millisecond, the software is engineered to minimize directional price exposure while capturing basis spreads.

    Addressing the “Backtest Fallacy”

    Traditional quantitative tools frequently suffer from the “backtest fallacy”—algorithmic models that show strong simulated returns but face slippage, funding volatility, and liquidity friction in live environments.

    “When we deployed Delta-Zero in January, our objective was to move beyond theoretical models and evaluate automated hedging in production environments,” said Matt Thompson, CFO at Plugsic. “Nine months of live evaluation data demonstrate the mechanics of the architecture. While broader digital asset markets experienced sharp intraday swings, our active users observed zero down months across the test period. Rather than speculating on market direction, Delta-Zero is engineered to capture spreads driven by structural market mechanics.”

    Key Performance & Audit Highlights (Observed Period: Q1–Q3 2026):

    • Market Neutrality Profile: Delta-Zero maintained an aggregate market beta of |β| < 0.018 relative to benchmark digital asset indices during the audited period, reflecting low directional price correlation.
    • Historical Month-over-Month Consistency: Across all nine observed months, the protocol recorded positive net monthly performance after executing continuous, real-time dual-leg counter-hedges.
    • Risk-Adjusted Metrics: The platform observed an annualized Sharpe ratio of 3.14 and a Sortino ratio of 4.22 across the evaluation sample.
    • Execution Resilience: Plugsic’s millisecond-latency dark pool routing handled multiple market volatility cascades with zero forced liquidations observed across active user accounts.
    • Non-Custodial Architecture: 100% of analyzed execution volume occurred non-custodially via secure API and segregated vault rails directly on user-governed accounts, designed to mitigate counterparty commingling risks.

    Fiduciary Structure and Capped Capacity

    Unlike traditional fund structures that charge ongoing management fees and impose capital lockups, Plugsic’s Sovereign Execution platform utilizes a High-Water Mark framework: 0% annual management fees and T+1 liquidity access, aligning software licensing compensation with net alpha generation.

    To preserve execution quality and mitigate potential spread compression from liquidity slippage, Plugsic confirmed that active deployment capacity on the Sovereign Execution platform will remain limited to a capped cohort of 150 private execution nodes.

    Availability & Documentation

    The complete Nine-Month Quantitative Performance Audit and technical factsheet are available at Plugsic Verified Audit. Platform access requests are processed on a rolling basis subject to node availability.

    About Plugsic

    Plugsic is a software technology provider engineering automated quantitative infrastructure. The company builds sovereign, non-custodial execution environments that combine machine learning models with institutional-grade risk management protocols, enabling self-directed operators to deploy automated risk-mitigated strategies.

  • ChangeNOW Announces NOW AI After Resolving Website Integration Vulnerability

    Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, October 15th, 2026, Chainwire

    On October 15, with the help of independent security researchers, we found a vulnerability affecting one of the integrations used on the ChangeNOW website. The vulnerability has now been fixed.

    We currently have no evidence that it was exploited. But we also can’t assume that the researchers who reported it were the only ones to find it. Because of that, we’re looking at the different possible scenarios and warning clients about the information that could potentially have been exposed. This may include email addresses and transaction details.

    Please note ChangeNOW’s transaction infrastructure was not affected, and customer funds were never at risk.

    The main thing clients should watch out for now is suspicious or fraudulent messages. A phony message could reference real transactions or support to appear legitimate. If you get an unexpected message that looks like it’s from ChangeNOW, please check the sender before responding, clicking on any links or giving any information. We exclusively contact clients via support@changenow.io and we will never ask for a private key, seed phrase, or any password by email.

    People contact our support and compliance teams because they trust us with information they would not share publicly, and we understand the responsibility that comes with that. We have no indication this vulnerability was exploited, but we believe it is important to warn of the possible risks rather than wait until there is total certainty.

    Our clients are at the center of what we do, and we’re continuing to upgrade the protection of our products. One of the actions we are taking is the launch of NOW AI, a dedicated protection lab with a mission to raise the security standard across all ChangeNOW products. We want to apply the same technology to the defensive side to spot danger earlier and bake stronger security into our products, especially as AI makes malicious action easier to automate and expand.

    Today’s case only made the need to move faster more obvious and it accelerated the launch of NOW AI. We’ll publish more details on our plans, what it covers, and how it will be used across ChangeNOW on a dedicated page on our website soon. Stay tuned.

    About ChangeNOW

    ChangeNOW.io is a crypto super app built for every crypto move, giving newcomers, professionals, and businesses the tools they need to access Web3 finance in a simple and secure way.

    Since 2017, ChangeNOW has grown from a fast, secure, and limitless instant exchange into a trusted platform where storage, swaps, trading, staking, and asset management are covered in one simple experience for millions of clients worldwide.

  • Pixagram Announces Free Account Creation for 250 New Users Daily Through 2026

    Panama City, Panama, October 15th, 2026, Chainwire

    Pixagram announces free account creation for up to 250 new members daily through the end of 2026. Built on the standalone Layer-1 Pixa blockchain, Pixagram is an anti-hierarchy social network where every post, vote, and comment is recorded as a signed on-chain transaction, with no ads and no cryptocurrency purchase required to get started.

    Pixagram will cover the 20 PIXA network fee for up to 250 new members daily through the end of 2026. New members can claim a free @username at Pixagram.com and join the platform’s on-chain community for creators.

    ► Quit Renting the Spotlight — Users can register at http://pixagram.com

    An On-Chain Username and Wallet Address

    Opening a Pixa chain account normally costs around 20 PIXA. Pixagram is covering this fee for up to 250 new members daily through the end of 2026.

    • Username and wallet address: Each @username serves as an on-chain wallet address, replacing a randomly generated string of characters with a recognizable handle.
    • Blockchain-based registration: Once registered on the blockchain, an @username remains associated with its on-chain record, subject to the network’s rules and technical conditions.
    • Phone verification and privacy: One-time phone verification helps limit bot abuse of the daily account offer. A public @username can separate a creator’s online identity from their legal name, although public blockchain records may limit privacy.

    Not Really Anti-Social, Truly Anti-Hierarchy

    Mainstream social media serves advertisers while gatekeepers decide who sees your work. Pixagram—alongside platforms like Hive and Mastodon—is a SIGMA platform built for creators who prefer agency over status games. Your posts, art, followers, and feeds live directly on-chain with nothing in between, allowing you to reach every follower automatically.

    NFT Platform Storage and Artwork Permanence

    On many NFT platforms, the token sits on-chain while the image lives on a cloud server or IPFS—meaning a token can easily outlive its art.

    On Pixa, every artwork is stored directly on-chain inside its post as a lossless image. Compact pixel art lives permanently on the blockchain and renders up to 4K resolution as a painting, CRT filter, hexagonal shapes, or square pixels.

    • Zero upfront cost: Every new account receives a starter delegation of stake (Resource Credits fuel) to cover posting and voting from day one.
    • Build Mode Note: Direct on-chain art sales launch in 2027, so everything you publish today builds your permanent portfolio ahead of the marketplace release.

    ► Less Lurking. One Original Post. Start at Pixagram.com

    Proof-of-Brain and Community Curation

    Instead of relying on the computational process used in Proof-of-Work systems, Pixagram uses Proof-of-Brain, a mechanism that allocates rewards based on posting, commenting, and voting activity.

    • Community reward distribution: 70% of newly issued PIXA is allocated to community-voted content, with 60% distributed to authors and 40% to curators after seven days.
    • Staking and governance mechanisms: Authors can receive Pixa Power, which determines voting weight and supports governance participation, and Pixa Supra (PXS), a unit referenced by an oracle to a agnostic purchasing power index (without a fixed dollar value). Curators can also receive Pixa Power.

    Censorship-Resistant by Design

    Built on the Hive codebase with Steem lineage, the Pixa chain started from a clean genesis block with no airdrop and produces a block every three seconds. While an application interface can hide a post from its view, it can never erase the transaction record from the chain.

    Furthermore, every artwork is checked for copies using PAPH-X (an open-source perceptual fingerprint for pixel art) and indexed by the Search V4 engine.

    “The old internet wants you trapped in feed fog, renting reach from gatekeepers who track every click. Today information is king, and Pixagram operates outside that hierarchy… Don’t believe the hype. Create it.” — Matias Affolter, Co-Founder of Pixa

    “The strongest rebellion is a working alternative. We’re covering the network fee for 250 new accounts a day so any creator can step into build mode at zero cost. Claim your permanent @username now—because once a handle is written to the chain, it’s gone forever.” — Mathiew Estepho, Co-Founder of Pixa

    Pixagram Account Registration and Developer Resources

    Pixagram offers fee coverage for up to 250 new accounts daily through the end of 2026. Eligible new members can register and claim an @username at Pixagram.com. Additional technical information is available in the developer documentation at pixa.org.

  • Crowded Launches Crowded MCP, Bringing Nonprofit Financial Operations Into ChatGPT and Claude

    Fort Lauderdale, Florida, October 15th, 2026, FinanceWire

    New MCP connector gives nonprofit teams a practical entry point into AI, letting them work with their live financial data to query spending, create fund accounts, prepare tax filings and build board reports through natural-language prompts.

    Crowded today launched the Crowded MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector that lets nonprofits and other mission-driven organizations work with their Crowded financial data and operational workflows from ChatGPT and Claude using natural-language requests. MCP is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to outside software and data.

    Crowded MCP is designed around the work nonprofit finance and operations teams do every day: understanding spending, organizing funds, preparing compliance work, managing accounts and turning transaction data into reports and next steps. For organizations interested in AI but unsure where it fits into day-to-day operations, that makes existing finance work an immediate use case rather than a separate technology project.

    “The real opportunity is bringing finance into the AI workflow, not simply giving an AI more authority over the money,” said Daniel Grunstein, co-founder and CEO of Crowded. “Nonprofit teams spend enormous amounts of time understanding what happened, organizing the data and preparing what needs to happen next. Crowded MCP is designed to compress that work while keeping the organization’s existing controls in place.”

    A user can ask Crowded MCP to handle tasks ranging from pulling data to taking supported actions in Crowded:

    • “How much was spent on food in the past month?”
    • “Create a fund account for the latest government grant.”
    • “Prepare Form 990 from all Crowded platform transactions and uploaded materials.”
    • “Build the annual board report using Crowded transaction data.”

    For customers already using the connector, reporting and fundraising workflows are already emerging as practical use cases. “The Crowded MCP is really cool. I built year-end summary reports by easily pulling my organization’s Crowded transaction data and visualizing it — a task that would have taken much longer otherwise!” said Keith Tristano, CFO of the Chicago Dental Society.

    “We leverage the Crowded MCP server to easily generate custom fundraising pages for our sponsored projects. It’s a no-brainer!” said Boruch Izkowitz, CEO of Brightleaf Giving.

    Unlike uploading a static spreadsheet or bank export to an AI assistant, Crowded MCP is an authenticated connection to live Crowded data and tools. It can retrieve current financial information and, where permissions allow, carry out supported Crowded actions such as creating accounts, managing cards, tagging transactions and preparing operational workflows. The connection stays tied to the underlying Crowded environment rather than a one-time data snapshot.

    Crowded MCP currently supports workflows across banking, cards, fundraising and dues, tax filing, account and contact management, transaction tagging and reporting. Crowded’s nonprofit financial platform already spans fund accounts and sub-accounts, cards, dues and collections, fundraising, tax compliance and reporting, giving the connector operational context beyond a standalone accounting export.

    Crowded MCP can also turn questions into live views built from an organization’s current Crowded data, such as a due’s tracker, spend-by-category chart, filing-status board or other custom operational view. Crowded MCP sits alongside other connected systems in supported AI environments, opening the door to workflows that combine Crowded data with accounting, member engagement, fundraising and other operational systems while keeping access scoped to the permissions granted to the connector.

    Availability

    Crowded MCP beta is available now as a custom connector for Claude and ChatGPT. Crowded does not charge an additional fee for use of the connector; customers may need an appropriate ChatGPT or Claude plan, and normal Crowded product fees still apply. Organizations can connect in minutes using Crowded’s MCP endpoint and following its setup guides.

  • ARKBRIDGE Outlines Jonathan Morelli’s “Picks and Shovels” AI Infrastructure Investment Strategy

    London, UK, October 15th, 2026, FinanceWire

    ARKBRIDGE, a multi-asset CFD trading platform, today announced its focus on the AI infrastructure investment framework developed by Senior Investment Specialist Jonathan Morelli.

    The framework examines the semiconductors, memory, networking, data centres, cooling systems, electrical equipment and power infrastructure required to support the broader artificial intelligence economy, applying technology research, valuation analysis and portfolio-risk considerations to assess developments across the AI supply chain.

    Morelli’s approach focuses on what he calls the “picks and shovels” of artificial intelligence: the semiconductors, memory, networking, data centres, cooling systems, electrical equipment and power infrastructure required by the broader AI economy.

    Rather than attempting to predict which single AI company or model will ultimately dominate, Morelli studies the infrastructure that multiple competing AI businesses may need regardless of who emerges as the market leader.

    “The AI winner five years from now may not be obvious today,” Morelli said. “But we already know that serious AI development requires computing capacity, memory, networking, data-centre infrastructure and power. My approach starts with what the entire industry cannot operate without.”

    Within ARKBRIDGE.COM, Morelli has become a go-to Senior Investment Specialist for AI investment themes and the analytical tools used to evaluate them, combining technology-sector research with multi-asset analysis, valuation discipline and portfolio-risk considerations.

    Jonathan Morelli’s AI Infrastructure Investment Framework

    Morelli maps the AI economy as an interconnected investment chain:

    Compute → Semiconductors → Memory → Networking → Data Centres → Cooling → Power

    The framework is designed to identify areas where demand is increasing, capacity may be constrained and strategically important technologies are difficult to replace.

    Morelli’s analysis begins with six questions:

    • What infrastructure does the wider AI industry require?
    • Where could demand grow faster than supply?
    • Which suppliers serve multiple AI competitors?
    • How difficult is the underlying technology to replace?
    • How much future growth is already reflected in the valuation?
    • How much AI-related exposure already exists within the portfolio?

    For Morelli, the final question is particularly important.

    An investor can hold several different AI-infrastructure companies and still carry significant concentration risk if all of those businesses depend on the same underlying capital-spending cycle.

    “Different companies do not automatically mean different risks,” Morelli said. “Understanding where the opportunity sits is important, but understanding how much exposure the portfolio already has is just as important.”

    ARKBRIDGE Multi-Asset Analysis Supports Morelli’s AI Research

    Morelli’s framework fits within ARKBRIDGE’s broader multi-asset trading and analytical environment.

    ARKBRIDGE currently provides access to 3,000+ global market instruments, allowing technology themes to be examined across equities, ETFs, indices, commodities, forex and other global markets.

    That breadth matters because the AI infrastructure story extends beyond technology stocks.

    Semiconductor demand can influence technology equities, while data-centre expansion can affect industrial companies, energy markets and infrastructure providers. Power constraints can influence utilities and commodities, while interest rates and currencies can affect the financing cost of major infrastructure projects.

    Morelli therefore analyses AI as a broader economic ecosystem rather than as a single group of technology companies.

    ARKBRIDGE Institutional Intelligence and Human Market Analysis

    Morelli’s methodology also reflects ARKBRIDGE’s Institutional Intelligence approach.

    The platform uses AI-supported analytics as a decision-support layer designed to help process market information, monitor volatility, compare sectors and identify relationships across asset classes.

    For Morelli, technology helps surface changes in the market, while human analysis is still required to interpret why those changes matter.

    Key questions include whether demand is temporary or structural, whether capacity is genuinely constrained, whether a supplier has pricing power and how much expected future growth is already reflected in the market price.

    This combination of AI-supported analysis and experienced human interpretation is central to Morelli’s work within ARKBRIDGE.

    Semiconductors, Data Centres and Power Remain Key Areas of Focus

    Semiconductors form the first layer of Morelli’s research.

    Advanced AI systems depend not only on processors but also on high-bandwidth memory, semiconductor fabrication, specialised manufacturing equipment, advanced packaging and networking.

    Morelli looks for companies occupying strategically important positions deeper in that supply chain, particularly where multiple AI ecosystems depend on the same technology.

    The same logic extends to data centres.

    Modern AI facilities require servers, networking, cooling, electrical switchgear, transformers, grid connections and large quantities of reliable electricity.

    Morelli therefore asks a simple question:

    “If AI keeps growing, where must the money physically be spent?”

    That question forms the foundation of his “picks and shovels” strategy.

    Risk Management Remains Central to Morelli’s Approach

    Identifying an attractive technology theme is only the first part of Morelli’s process.

    The second is deciding how much risk the opportunity deserves.

    Morelli considers position size, valuation, liquidity, volatility, leverage, correlation and existing technology exposure before focusing on potential return.

    ARKBRIDGE supports this process with practical risk-management functionality including stop-loss orders, take-profit orders, trailing stops and margin monitoring, alongside AI-supported market analytics.

    The tools are not intended to replace research. They support a process that begins with understanding the opportunity, identifying the risk and then determining how exposure should be structured.

    ARKBRIDGE.COM Highlights Jonathan Morelli’s Specialist Role

    ARKBRIDGE reports more than 50,000 clients and provides access to more than 3,000 global market instruments through its multi-asset trading environment.

    Within that specialist-led model, Jonathan Morelli has developed a distinct focus on the infrastructure supporting artificial intelligence.

    His research covers:

    semiconductors, advanced memory, networking, data centres, cooling, electrical infrastructure and power.

    For Morelli, the next important AI investment may not necessarily carry an “AI” label.

    It may instead provide a component, technology or infrastructure service that several AI leaders cannot operate without.

    “The most visible company is not always the company with the most valuable position in the supply chain,” Morelli said. “I want to understand what the AI economy cannot scale without.”
