  • From Korean Chipmakers to Leveraged Semiconductor ETFs: STARTRADER Launches 49 New 24/7 Stock and ETF CFDs

    Port Louis, Mauritius, September 21st, 2026, FinanceWire

    Available from September 18, 2026, the expansion adds 30 US stocks, 14 ETFs, and five USD-quoted foreign shares, tradable Monday to Sunday, with trading available beyond the regular hours of the relevant underlying exchanges, subject to the applicable trading schedule and terms. 

    STARTRADER has added 49 new 24/7 Stock and ETF CFDs across its MT5 servers, accessible Monday to Sunday from 00:00 to 24:00 (GMT+3 platform time), subject to scheduled maintenance windows. The expansion covers 30 US stocks, 14 ETFs and five USD-quoted foreign shares listed in mainland China, Hong Kong and South Korea, extending continuous access to Asian semiconductor and consumer names whose most significant news has historically landed while the exchanges quoting them were closed.

    The US additions include SK Hynix (SKHYUSD) and Super Micro Computer (SMCIUSD), both tied closely to AI memory and server demand. Eleven of the 14 ETFs are single-stock or sector leveraged products, including the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF (SOXLUSD) and Direxion Daily Micron Bull 2X Shares (MUUUSD).

    The five foreign shares reach markets that are harder for international clients to access directly: GigaDevice from the China A-share market, Pop Mart and Tencent from Hong Kong, and Samsung Electronics (SAMSUNGUSD) and Hyundai from South Korea. The Samsung line is quoted as the Korea-listed share rather than a depositary receipt.

    Because these instruments are quoted in USD while the underlying shares are listed in other currencies, movements in the relevant exchange rate will affect the position in addition to movements in the share price. Chinese A-shares are also subject to daily price limits. Where the underlying reaches its applicable price limit or is suspended, pricing and execution on the corresponding CFD may be affected. 

    The additions reflect where market interest has concentrated through 2026. AI memory and server demand have pulled Korean supply-chain names into the same conversation as US megacaps, while leveraged single-stock and sector ETFs have become a common instrument for expressing short-horizon views on semiconductors. Both trends make continuous pricing more relevant to how these names are actually traded.

    “We do not add symbols to look comprehensive. The test is whether a client would otherwise be left holding a view they have no way to act on, and across these 49, that test was easy to answer.” Peter Karsten, CEO, STARTRADER

    The launch extends STARTRADER’s 24/7 range further into Asian equity markets, following earlier expansions into Hong Kong-listed AI companies and global index ETFs. Further additions will be assessed as market interest shifts across regions and sectors.

  • Multi-Asset Trading Venue Monochrome Exchange Announces IEO of Its Native Token, $MCR

    Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, September 20th, 2026, Chainwire

    Monochrome Exchange, a multi-asset trading platform, has announced the Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) of its native utility token, MCR. The platform aims to consolidate crypto, equities, bonds, and real-world assets into a single venue where trades settle on-chain. The exchange is currently live, featuring over 260 active markets.

    MCR Initial Exchange Offering Details

    • Date: September 21, 13:00 UTC+8 to September 28, 13:00 UTC+8
    • Location: Monochrome Launchpad (monochrome.exchange/launchpad)
    • Token Price: $0.88 per MCR
    • Public Sale Supply: 10,500,000 MCR (5% of total supply)
    • Vesting Schedule: 1-month cliff from Token Generation Event (TGE), followed by 3-month linear vesting
    • Commitment Asset: USDT
    • Subscription Limits: No minimum; maximum of $100,000 per account

    The MCR offering will take place directly on the Monochrome Exchange platform. Users can participate by depositing USDT and committing funds on the offering page during the designated seven-day window. Following the one-month cliff after the TGE, MCR tokens will vest linearly and be credited directly to user accounts.

    Live Platform Offerings

    Monochrome Exchange currently supports trading across four asset classes from a single account balance:

    • Crypto: Spot and perpetual markets.
    • Equities: Nearly 150 markets, including tokenized exposure to US and Hong Kong equities (e.g., AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, BYD).
    • ETFs and Indices: Over 30 options including SPY, QQQ, and XLE.
    • Commodities: Gold, silver, platinum, crude oil, Brent, natural gas, and copper.
    • Pre-IPO Markets: Tokenized exposure to private companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic.

    Leadership and Backing

    Monochrome Exchange was founded by Jeff Yew, former Chief Executive Officer of Binance Australia, where he led local operations for the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. He subsequently founded Monochrome Asset Management, the investment manager behind the first direct-holdings spot Bitcoin ETF of its kind admitted to trading on Cboe under an ASIC-issued Australian Financial Services Licence.

    Yew has over a decade of experience across exchange operations, digital asset licensing and the design of regulated investment products. “Tokenisation has produced a large number of assets that barely trade,” said Jeff Yew. “The harder problem has always been the market underneath them: liquidity, settlement, and compliance that holds up. We listed the markets first and are offering the token second.”

    Monochrome Exchange operates as a separate entity from Monochrome Asset Management. Jeff Yew’s professional history does not extend any licence, authorisation or regulatory status of any Monochrome affiliate to Monochrome Exchange or to the MCR token.

    How It Works

    The offering is conducted entirely within the Monochrome Exchange platform. Participation follows four steps:

    1. Account. Participants open a Monochrome Exchange account and enable two-factor authentication.
    2. Deposit. USDT is deposited to the exchange account. Deposits are credited once confirmed on-chain.
    3. Commitment. Funds are committed on the offering page during the seven-day window, which opens on 21 September at 13:00 UTC+8 and closes on 28 September at 13:00 UTC+8, or earlier if the allocation is filled. There is no minimum subscription and a maximum of $100,000 per account.
    4. Distribution. MCR is held against the participant’s account from the Token Generation Event. No tokens unlock during the first month. Following the cliff, the allocation vests linearly over three months and is credited automatically as it unlocks.

    No external wallet, bridge or on-chain transaction is required at any stage, and no claim transaction is necessary.

    MCR Tokenomics and Deflationary Mechanism

    The maximum supply of MCR is capped at 210,000,000 tokens. Tokens allocated to the team and advisors are locked for 12 months, followed by a 36-month linear vesting schedule.

    $MCR Tokenomics

    Vesting Schedule

    The token incorporates a buy-back and burn mechanism driven by platform activity:

    • 20% of net platform profit will be used to buy back MCR from the open market quarterly.
    • 25% of all Launchpad and Digital IPO fee revenue will be added to the buy-back allocation.
    • Purchased tokens will be sent to a verifiable burn address to reduce the circulating supply.

    Token Utility

    MCR serves multiple functions within the Monochrome ecosystem:

    • Fee Discounts: Holders receive trading fee discounts ranging from 10% to 50%, tiered by holdings.
    • Exclusive Access: MCR acts as the access token for Launchpad offerings and upcoming Digital IPOs, with allocations weighted by user balances.
    • Staking: Users can stake MCR to earn rewards, increase allocation weight, and qualify for the node program.
    • Governance: Holders can participate in voting on platform listings, Launchpad parameters, and treasury deployment.

    Digital IPOs and Leadership

    Monochrome Exchange is developing a Digital IPO framework designed to streamline the public listing process by moving issuance, subscription, allocation, and settlement on-chain. MCR will be required to participate in these offerings. The platform schedules its first Digital IPO for Q1 2027.

    The exchange was founded by Jeff Yew, former CEO of Binance Australia and founder of Monochrome Asset Management. Yew brings a decade of experience in exchange operations and digital asset licensing. Monochrome Exchange operates as a separate entity from Monochrome Asset Management. Jeff Yew’s professional history does not extend any license, authorization, or regulatory status of Monochrome affiliates to Monochrome Exchange or the MCR token.

    About Monochrome

    Monochrome Exchange is a multi-asset trading venue where crypto, equities, ETFs, commodities and pre-IPO markets trade from a single account and settle on-chain. The platform currently lists more than 260 markets, including tokenised exposure to US and Hong Kong equities, index and sector ETFs, precious metals and energy, and private companies including OpenAI and Anthropic.

    Monochrome Exchange was founded by Jeff Yew, former Chief Executive Officer of Binance Australia and founder of Monochrome Asset Management, the investment manager behind the first direct-holdings spot Bitcoin ETF of its kind admitted to trading on Cboe. MCR is the native utility token of the exchange, used for trading fee discounts, allocation in Launchpad offerings and Digital IPOs, staking and governance.

    Monochrome Exchange is a separate entity from Monochrome Asset Management and operates independently of it.

  • AtlasClear Holdings Reports Preliminary Fiscal 2026 Revenue of Approximately $20.1 Million, Up 85%; Revenue Plus Interest Income of Approximately $21.9 Million

    TAMPA, Fla, September 17th, 2026, FinanceWire

    • Stock Locate Fees Grow More Than 20-Fold to Approximately $6.8 Million; Commissions Up Approximately 56%
    • Non-Commission Revenue Lines Now Represent Approximately 54% of Total Revenues, Up From 45% in Fiscal 2025
    • Second Consecutive Year of Positive Net Income; Cash More Than Doubles to Approximately $15.4 Million; Stockholders’ Equity of Approximately $21.1 Million
    • AtlasClearing Net Capital Up Approximately 28% Year-over-Year to $14.4 Million
    • Six New Correspondent Broker-Dealers Signed; Revenue from These Relationships Not Yet Reflected in Results
    • Growth Achieved Without At-the-Market or Equity Line Financing; No Dilutive Capital Raise Since October 2025

    AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: ATCH) (“AtlasClear” or the “Company”), a company building regulated financial infrastructure for smaller institutions, fintechs and advisors, today announced select preliminary unaudited financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

    Revenue

    Based on preliminary unaudited results, AtlasClear expects to report fiscal 2026 total revenues of approximately $20.1 million, an increase of approximately 85% from $10.9 million in fiscal 2025. The Company also expects to report interest income of approximately $1.8 million, which is presented in other income under GAAP. Total revenues plus interest income are expected to be approximately $21.9 million, compared with approximately $12.9 million in fiscal 2025, an increase of approximately 70%. The separate audited financial statements of the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary, AtlasClearing, Inc., for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, filed with the SEC on August 31, 2026, present interest income within revenues and report total revenues of approximately $21.8 million.

    Growth came from both the core commission business and newer business lines. Commission revenue increased approximately 56% to approximately $9.3 million. Stock locate fees, a business the Company launched and scaled during fiscal 2026, increased to approximately $6.8 million from approximately $0.3 million and represented approximately 34% of total revenues. Net gains on firm trading accounts contributed approximately $0.5 million. As a result, commission revenue grew in absolute dollars while declining from approximately 55% of total revenues in fiscal 2025 to approximately 46% in fiscal 2026, and non-commission revenue lines represented approximately 54% of the total.

    Profitability and Balance Sheet

    The Company expects to report net income of approximately $2.0 million for fiscal 2026, its second consecutive year of positive net income, which includes non-cash gains from changes in the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. At June 30, 2026, the Company expects to report cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15.4 million, more than double the $7.5 million a year earlier; total stockholders’ equity of approximately $21.1 million, compared with a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $6.8 million at June 30, 2025; and total liabilities of approximately $50.1 million, a reduction of approximately $17.6 million.

    Net capital at AtlasClearing, Inc. increased to approximately $14.4 million at June 30, 2026 from $11.2 million a year earlier, as reported in AtlasClearing’s audited annual report filed with the SEC. That is approximately $14.1 million above its minimum requirement and well above the $10 million excess net capital threshold that the National Securities Clearing Corporation requires of firms that clear for introducing brokers. Net capital is stated after deducting unsecured receivables from other broker-dealers for stock locate fees, which are treated as non-allowable assets until collected and have grown with the stock locate business.

    Correspondent Pipeline and Capital Discipline

    AtlasClearing has signed clearing agreements with six new correspondent broker-dealers, which are in various stages of onboarding and conversion. Fiscal 2026 results include no meaningful revenue from these relationships, which the Company expects to begin contributing as conversions are completed during fiscal 2027.

    Fiscal 2026 growth was achieved without reliance on at-the-market or equity line financing. The Company sold no shares under its equity line facility during fiscal 2026 and has not conducted any at-the-market offering or other dilutive capital raise since its October 2025 institutional unit financing. Shares outstanding were approximately 150.3 million at June 30, 2026 and approximately 151.8 million as of the date of this release.

    Management Commentary

    “Fiscal 2026 was a breakout year for AtlasClear. Revenue increased approximately 85% to roughly $20.1 million, and including interest income the business generated approximately $21.9 million,” said John Schaible, Executive Chairman of AtlasClear Holdings. “Just as important is how we got there. More than half of our revenue now comes from lines of business that barely existed two years ago, and we did it without an at-the-market program or an equity line. We finished the year with more than twice the cash, stockholders’ equity of more than $21 million, and a stronger broker-dealer. That is the foundation we intend to build on as we continue to pursue our bank strategy, and we look forward to updating shareholders in greater detail on our full-year results and operations later this month.”

    “The operating story at AtlasClearing is one of execution,” said Craig Ridenhour, President of AtlasClear Holdings and Chairman of AtlasClearing, Inc. “Commissions grew more than 50%, stock locate went from a standing start to nearly $7 million, and net capital finished the year up more than $3 million. Six new correspondents have signed and none of their revenue is in these numbers yet. As those correspondents onboard, the customer assets and trading activity they bring will give us the ability to scale our stock loan business and to add new forms of interest income, including on margin balances, customer cash and securities lending, on the platform and team we already have in place, with only incremental expense.”

    Preliminary Results

    The preliminary financial results included in this release have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, the Company’s management. These results are preliminary and unaudited and are subject to completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures and audit. Actual results may differ from the preliminary results presented above, and any such differences could be material. These preliminary results should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s full audited consolidated financial statements. Total revenues plus interest income, as used in this release, is a supplemental measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. It is the sum of total revenues and interest income, each as the Company expects to report them in its consolidated statement of operations, and is presented because interest earned on balances held by the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary is an integral part of its operating economics. It should not be considered a substitute for total revenues determined in accordance with GAAP.

    Fiscal 2026 Results and Conference Call

    AtlasClear expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 and report its full fiscal 2026 financial results by September 28, 2026. The Company also expects to host a conference call to discuss its fiscal 2026 results by September 28, 2026. Additional details regarding the conference call will be provided in advance.

  • AtlasClear Holdings Reports Preliminary Fiscal 2026 Revenue of Approximately $20.1 Million, Up 85%; Revenue Plus Interest Income of Approximately $21.9 Million

    TAMPA, Fla, September 17th, 2026, FinanceWire

    • Stock Locate Fees Grow More Than 20-Fold to Approximately $6.8 Million; Commissions Up Approximately 56%
    • Non-Commission Revenue Lines Now Represent Approximately 54% of Total Revenues, Up From 45% in Fiscal 2025
    • Second Consecutive Year of Positive Net Income; Cash More Than Doubles to Approximately $15.4 Million; Stockholders’ Equity of Approximately $21.1 Million
    • AtlasClearing Net Capital Up Approximately 28% Year-over-Year to $14.4 Million
    • Six New Correspondent Broker-Dealers Signed; Revenue from These Relationships Not Yet Reflected in Results
    • Growth Achieved Without At-the-Market or Equity Line Financing; No Dilutive Capital Raise Since October 2025

    AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: ATCH) (“AtlasClear” or the “Company”), a company building regulated financial infrastructure for smaller institutions, fintechs and advisors, today announced select preliminary unaudited financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

    Revenue

    Based on preliminary unaudited results, AtlasClear expects to report fiscal 2026 total revenues of approximately $20.1 million, an increase of approximately 85% from $10.9 million in fiscal 2025. The Company also expects to report interest income of approximately $1.8 million, which is presented in other income under GAAP. Total revenues plus interest income are expected to be approximately $21.9 million, compared with approximately $12.9 million in fiscal 2025, an increase of approximately 70%. The separate audited financial statements of the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary, AtlasClearing, Inc., for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, filed with the SEC on August 31, 2026, present interest income within revenues and report total revenues of approximately $21.8 million.

    Growth came from both the core commission business and newer business lines. Commission revenue increased approximately 56% to approximately $9.3 million. Stock locate fees, a business the Company launched and scaled during fiscal 2026, increased to approximately $6.8 million from approximately $0.3 million and represented approximately 34% of total revenues. Net gains on firm trading accounts contributed approximately $0.5 million. As a result, commission revenue grew in absolute dollars while declining from approximately 55% of total revenues in fiscal 2025 to approximately 46% in fiscal 2026, and non-commission revenue lines represented approximately 54% of the total.

    Profitability and Balance Sheet

    The Company expects to report net income of approximately $2.0 million for fiscal 2026, its second consecutive year of positive net income, which includes non-cash gains from changes in the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. At June 30, 2026, the Company expects to report cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15.4 million, more than double the $7.5 million a year earlier; total stockholders’ equity of approximately $21.1 million, compared with a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $6.8 million at June 30, 2025; and total liabilities of approximately $50.1 million, a reduction of approximately $17.6 million.

    Net capital at AtlasClearing, Inc. increased to approximately $14.4 million at June 30, 2026 from $11.2 million a year earlier, as reported in AtlasClearing’s audited annual report filed with the SEC. That is approximately $14.1 million above its minimum requirement and well above the $10 million excess net capital threshold that the National Securities Clearing Corporation requires of firms that clear for introducing brokers. Net capital is stated after deducting unsecured receivables from other broker-dealers for stock locate fees, which are treated as non-allowable assets until collected and have grown with the stock locate business.

    Correspondent Pipeline and Capital Discipline

    AtlasClearing has signed clearing agreements with six new correspondent broker-dealers, which are in various stages of onboarding and conversion. Fiscal 2026 results include no meaningful revenue from these relationships, which the Company expects to begin contributing as conversions are completed during fiscal 2027.

    Fiscal 2026 growth was achieved without reliance on at-the-market or equity line financing. The Company sold no shares under its equity line facility during fiscal 2026 and has not conducted any at-the-market offering or other dilutive capital raise since its October 2025 institutional unit financing. Shares outstanding were approximately 150.3 million at June 30, 2026 and approximately 151.8 million as of the date of this release.

    Management Commentary

    “Fiscal 2026 was a breakout year for AtlasClear. Revenue increased approximately 85% to roughly $20.1 million, and including interest income the business generated approximately $21.9 million,” said John Schaible, Executive Chairman of AtlasClear Holdings. “Just as important is how we got there. More than half of our revenue now comes from lines of business that barely existed two years ago, and we did it without an at-the-market program or an equity line. We finished the year with more than twice the cash, stockholders’ equity of more than $21 million, and a stronger broker-dealer. That is the foundation we intend to build on as we continue to pursue our bank strategy, and we look forward to updating shareholders in greater detail on our full-year results and operations later this month.”

    “The operating story at AtlasClearing is one of execution,” said Craig Ridenhour, President of AtlasClear Holdings and Chairman of AtlasClearing, Inc. “Commissions grew more than 50%, stock locate went from a standing start to nearly $7 million, and net capital finished the year up more than $3 million. Six new correspondents have signed and none of their revenue is in these numbers yet. As those correspondents onboard, the customer assets and trading activity they bring will give us the ability to scale our stock loan business and to add new forms of interest income, including on margin balances, customer cash and securities lending, on the platform and team we already have in place, with only incremental expense.”

    Preliminary Results

    The preliminary financial results included in this release have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, the Company’s management. These results are preliminary and unaudited and are subject to completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures and audit. Actual results may differ from the preliminary results presented above, and any such differences could be material. These preliminary results should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s full audited consolidated financial statements. Total revenues plus interest income, as used in this release, is a supplemental measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. It is the sum of total revenues and interest income, each as the Company expects to report them in its consolidated statement of operations, and is presented because interest earned on balances held by the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary is an integral part of its operating economics. It should not be considered a substitute for total revenues determined in accordance with GAAP.

    Fiscal 2026 Results and Conference Call

    AtlasClear expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 and report its full fiscal 2026 financial results by September 28, 2026. The Company also expects to host a conference call to discuss its fiscal 2026 results by September 28, 2026. Additional details regarding the conference call will be provided in advance.

  • Beyond Investment Returns: Families Are Measuring Wealth by Freedom, Continuity, and Legacy, According to Nour Private Wealth

    Toronto, Canada, September 17th, 2026, FinanceWire

    Nour Private Wealth (NPW) announces a growing shift in how ultra-high-net-worth families approach long-term wealth, with legacy planning, family governance, and intergenerational continuity taking a more prominent role alongside traditional financial considerations. The development reflects the increasing complexity of managing substantial family wealth across generations

    Every generation defines wealth differently. For today’s ultra-high-net-worth families, the definition of wealth is evolving. Financial returns remain important, but they are no longer the primary lens through which families evaluate the success of their wealth plan. 

    Increasingly, the questions that matter most are broader:

    • “Does this plan protect what we have built?”
    • “Does it reflect our values?”
    • “Will it serve our children, and their children, the way it serves us today?”

    These are not simply philosophical questions. They have direct implications for estate planning, trust estate planning, family business succession, and the structural decisions that determine whether wealth endures across generations or diminishes within them.

    The statistics underscore the stakes. Approximately 60 percent of family offices expect a leadership transition within the next decade. Only about 30 percent of family businesses survive to a second generation. Fewer than 10 percent reach a third. These outcomes are not inevitable, but avoiding them requires deliberate, coordinated planning that begins long before a transition is imminent.

    “The families we work with rarely define success by returns alone,” says Elie Nour, Founder & CEO of Nour Private Wealth. “Their focus is on preserving opportunity, strengthening family governance, and ensuring the values that created their wealth continue to guide future generations. Our role is to help bring those priorities together within a coordinated long-term strategy.”  

    For ultra-high-net-worth families committed to preserving wealth over generations, these realities require a broader perspective. Modern family office wealth management is no longer focused solely on portfolio performance. It brings together investment management, governance, succession planning, tax strategy, and legacy planning within a single, integrated framework designed to support the long-term interests of the family. 

    NPW approaches this challenge by organizing planning around what clients genuinely value. For most UHNW families, that means freedom: the freedom to make life choices without financial constraint, and the confidence that their wealth will support the same opportunity for future generations.

    Trust structures are a foundational tool in this work. A well-designed family trust preserves capital, governs the timing and conditions of wealth transfer, and protects beneficiaries from both external claims and internal conflict. 

    Paired with tax strategies for high net worth individuals, including spousal rollovers, capital gains deferral, and strategic use of credit facilities, trusts allow families to transfer wealth efficiently while maintaining control over how and when assets are distributed. 

    Credit solutions also play a meaningful role. Private banking specialists increasingly observe that UHNW families also use credit strategically as part of a broader estate and legacy planning strategy. Structured appropriately, borrowing can support initiatives such as life insurance funding, liquidity planning, and wealth transfer, transforming credit from a financing tool into a sophisticated component of long-term wealth stewardship.

    Estate planning for ultra-high-net-worth families requires this level of precision. A standard will is insufficient. Multi-jurisdictional trust structures, corporate estate freezes, family holding companies, powers of attorney, and formal succession roadmaps are the tools through which complex estates are protected and transferred with minimal tax erosion and maximum continuity.

    Key Considerations for Enduring Wealth 

    • Appointing trusted trustees and clearly defined powers of attorney ensures families maintain oversight even when principals cannot act directly.
    • Family charters and family councils create governance structures that preserve values alongside financial assets.
    • Studies consistently show that family offices with formal governance frameworks are more engaged in philanthropic planning, reflecting a commitment to purpose alongside prosperity.
    • Legacy financial planning that integrates charitable foundations with investment strategy allows families to ensure their wealth reflects their mission for generations to come.

    The True Measure of Wealth Is What Endures 

    NPW’s philosophy is built on the belief that wealth management for high net worth individuals is ultimately about enabling life, not simply preserving capital. The firm guides families through the full complexity of estate, trust, and succession planning so that financial assets become the foundation for enduring freedom, not a source of complexity or conflict.

    That is the truest measure of a successful wealth plan, and it is the standard NPW holds itself to on behalf of every family it serves. 

    Investment returns may build wealth, but freedom, continuity, and legacy are what ultimately define its success.

  • STARPRIME Responds to Diverging Gold Market Demand with AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7

    Port Louis, Mauritius, September 17th, 2026, FinanceWire

    New offerings address two distinct market needs: fixing-related exposure management and continuous quote-driven gold access.

    Port Louis,Mauritius, September 17, 2026, STARPRIME is expanding its gold offering with AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7, giving market participants two distinct ways to manage and access gold exposure. Both offerings will be available in time for Forex Expo Dubai 2026, where STARPRIME will showcase its expanded liquidity offering as a Platinum Sponsor.

    The additions build on STARPRIME’s existing gold suite, which includes Spot XAUUSD, with contract variations for Top of Book and Order Depth, as well as XAU Futures. By adding AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7, STARPRIME is broadening the ways clients can access and manage gold exposure across different trading structures and market conditions.

    “Physical gold participants increasingly need efficient ways to value and hedge inventory, while another segment is seeking continuous, quote-driven access. These are very different requirements, and liquidity solutions need to evolve around both,” said Jay Mawji, CEO of STARPRIME.

    AM/PM Fixing is designed for physical hedgers and other market participants managing exposure around fixing prices. Clients will be able to trade fixing contracts directly with the STARPRIME Trading Desk, with orders subsequently converted into spot contracts. This allows fixing-related exposure to be offset against other positions and may reduce the margin requirements associated with maintaining separate exposures.

    While fixing is established within the gold market, demand continues to grow among participants looking for greater flexibility in structuring and hedging positions. For physical market participants in particular, managing fixing-related exposure alongside existing spot positions can create a more integrated approach between physical market activity and electronic trading infrastructure.

    XAU24/7 addresses a different development: rising demand for quote-driven assets available around the clock. Crypto markets helped normalise expectations of continuous access, and that behaviour is increasingly influencing traditional CFD markets, where interest in metals and energies beyond conventional trading hours continues to develop.

    Designed around that shift, XAU24/7 provides a quote-driven gold product available 24/7. It should, however, be considered a distinct instrument rather than simply an extension of Spot XAUUSD trading hours. Pricing can be created outside traditional reference-market hours, while market conditions, pricing behaviour and contract specifications may differ when conventional reference markets are closed.

    The introduction of both offerings reflects STARPRIME’s broader approach to liquidity: different market participants require different structures, pricing methodologies and execution solutions. The needs of a physical hedger differ fundamentally from those of a client seeking continuous access, yet both require liquidity models adapted to their specific use cases.

    STARPRIME will present the expanded offering at MENA Forex Expo 2026 on 22–23 September at Dubai World Trade Centre. As a Platinum Sponsor, STARPRIME will exhibit at Booth 152 and participate in a Liquidity Panel and fireside chat, exploring changing liquidity dynamics and the evolving requirements of brokers, institutions and professional trading businesses.

    The event will also provide a platform to discuss how product structure, pricing, execution and risk management are adapting as market participants seek more specialised ways to access liquidity.

    About STARPRIME

    STARPRIME is an institutional CFD liquidity provider and market maker, combining multi-asset liquidity with pricing technology, low-latency execution and dedicated client coverage. Its solutions are shaped around each client’s flow, scale, and market requirements, with a focus on transparency, consistent service and long-term partnerships.

    While fixing is established within the gold market, demand continues to grow among participants looking for greater flexibility in structuring and hedging positions. For physical market participants in particular, managing fixing-related exposure alongside existing spot positions can create a more integrated approach between physical market activity and electronic trading infrastructure.

    XAU24/7 addresses a different development: rising demand for quote-driven assets available around the clock. Crypto markets helped normalise expectations of continuous access, and that behaviour is increasingly influencing traditional CFD markets, where interest in metals and energies beyond conventional trading hours continues to develop.

    Designed around that shift, XAU24/7 provides a quote-driven gold product available 24/7. It should, however, be considered a distinct instrument rather than simply an extension of Spot XAUUSD trading hours. Pricing can be created outside traditional reference-market hours, while market conditions, pricing behaviour and contract specifications may differ when conventional reference markets are closed.

    The introduction of both offerings reflects STARPRIME’s broader approach to liquidity: different market participants require different structures, pricing methodologies and execution solutions. The needs of a physical hedger differ fundamentally from those of a client seeking continuous access, yet both require liquidity models adapted to their specific use cases.

    STARPRIME will present the expanded offering at MENA Forex Expo 2026 on 22–23 September at Dubai World Trade Centre. As a Platinum Sponsor, STARPRIME will exhibit at Booth 152 and participate in a Liquidity Panel and fireside chat, exploring changing liquidity dynamics and the evolving requirements of brokers, institutions and professional trading businesses.

    The event will also provide a platform to discuss how product structure, pricing, execution and risk management are adapting as market participants seek more specialised ways to access liquidity.
