In early 2021, global financial markets exhibited heightened volatility and complexity, shaped by the ongoing pandemic and economic recovery. Investors faced challenges not only from market fluctuations but also from fragmented information and increasing cross-market correlations. For high-net-worth clients and family offices, traditional teaching methods relying on the experience of instructors and historical case studies were no longer sufficient to address the needs of navigating rapidly changing markets. Against this backdrop, Casder Institute announced a major transformation in its teaching model, upgrading from an “experience-driven” approach to an “AI-driven” one,…

The continuation of the spirit of “Mamba”: the fantastic idea when KB Token collides with the meta universe
What would it be like if everything in real life was moved into the virtual world? What would it be like if the idol we share in our hearts were reproduced in the virtual world? The end of life is not death, but forgotten, unwilling people, please don’t stop missing. Kobe Bryant, a pronoun of tenacity, love, optimism, meaninglessness and discipline, the belief in him is the reason why we can’t let go of him, and it is also the foundation of our eternal relationship with him. So here…

Money Reimagined: NFTs Can Learn From DeFi’s Growth
This week, you could be forgiven for thinking bitcoin has ceded ground at the epicenter of the crypto zeitgeist to non-fungible tokens (NFT). Bitcoin’s price dropped to its lowest level since March 8, after failing to consolidate gains made on yet another Elon Musk tweet. Meanwhile, NFT stories were everywhere again. Another Beeple art piece sold for $6 million to raise funds for the Open Earth Foundation’s efforts to fight climate change, and both The New York Times and Time Magazine announced sales of their own NFTs. It’s also true that bitcoin continues to attract attention in financial troubled…
