Infineo CEO calls life insurance ‘blue chip collateral,’ and he’s putting it on chain

Life-insurance is a multi-trillion dollar asset class that almost nobody thinks of as an asset. That didn’t stop Jay Rogers, cofounder and director of infineo, who pooled half a billion dollars of institutional policies, convinced banks to lend against them, and is putting the whole structure on a blockchain. He sat down with TheStreet Roundtable to explain how infineo is transforming this industry. Rogers’ firm merged with the tokenization platform at the end of 2024 and has tokenized roughly $622 million in policies since then, among the largest real world asset (RWA) digitizations anywhere. "Our plan was to go out…

Does MemeToro’s Agent Model Offer Better Upside Than Remittix RTX?

The crypto presale market has developed two clear themes during 2026. One revolves around real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, where blockchain projects connect traditional finance with digital assets. The other centers on artificial intelligence, with platforms using AI to automate trading, launch tokens, and improve blockchain participation. Both narratives have attracted significant investor interest as capital rotates away from older speculative sectors. Among the projects benefiting from this trend are MemeToro ($MT) and Remittix (RTX). While both are early-stage crypto projects, they target very different markets, making them interesting to compare for investors evaluating long-term growth opportunities. RWA Continues Attracting Institutional…

OpenGradient CEO Warns of Possible BitMart Bankruptcy as Funds Remain Frozen

OpenGradient co-founder and CEO Matthew Wang has raised concerns that cryptocurrency exchange BitMart could be heading toward bankruptcy, alleging that his market-making team’s funds remain frozen on the platform and cannot be withdrawn. The claims, which have not been independently verified, add to growing unease among users and market participants following BitMart’s announcement of a service shutdown. Allegations and Context Wang claims that BitMart asked token holders to lock up assets on the platform just one week before announcing the service shutdown, a move he argues was largely aimed at pulling in liquidity. If true, this would suggest a deliberate…

“The Calm Before the Storm…”

Crypto analyst Luke Martin noted that Bitcoin’s volatility over the past 30 days has fallen below that of technology stocks, indicating a rare signal in the market. According to Martin, Bitcoin’s realized volatility falling below that of the QQQ fund, which tracks the Nasdaq 100, stands out as a development seen only once or twice a year. The analyst stated that Bitcoin has remained unusually calm during a period when other assets have exhibited similarly sharp movements to the cryptocurrency market. According to shared historical data, Bitcoin rose by an average of 20.58% over a seven-day period following 12 instances…

AI Crypto Ecosystem vs Real-World Payments, Which Presale Has the Stronger Case?

Crypto investors are no longer evaluating presales based only on fundraising totals. In 2026, projects are increasingly judged by the products they are building, the problems they solve, and whether those products can continue attracting users after exchange listings. That shift has helped AI platforms and payment-focused blockchain projects become two of the market’s strongest narratives. MemeToro ($MT) and Remittix (RTX) are good examples of this trend. While both remain in their presale phases, they are targeting completely different sectors. Remittix Is Building Around Global Payments Remittix has positioned itself as a blockchain solution for cross-border money transfers. The project…

“It Freezes Users’ Assets With Its Hidden Feature”

Justin Sun claims that World Liberty Financial’s $USD1 stablecoin contains “backdoor functionalities” that could allow user assets to be frozen or destroyed. Sun stated in a statement via X that his legal team successfully countered World Liberty Financial’s attempt to move their dispute to private arbitration and close the related court files to the public in a federal court in California. According to Sun, the court ruled that all of his personal claims should continue to be heard in public court. Sun claimed that during the process, he learned that World Liberty Financial’s $USD1 stablecoin also had similar authorization mechanisms.…

MoneyGram expands on Solana with global crypto-to-cash service

MoneyGram, which serves roughly 60 million active customers, views blockchain rails as a way to make cross-border transfers faster, cheaper and easier to track, without requiring customers to think about the technology powering them.

Why Self-Proclaimed Satoshi Craig Wright Is Digging Up 2010 History

Craig Wright is back on timelines and this time he used the largest technical error in Bitcoin’s history to question the concept of blockchain immutability. At the center of his argument was the 2010 “value overflow incident,” when a code vulnerability caused 184,467,440,737 $BTC to materialize out of nowhere. Wright argues that this old episode proves one main point - Bitcoin’s rules are not set in stone, the code has been changed before and can be changed again, while blockchain immutability is merely a “charming doctrine” that ceases to be true after the first exception. However, archival records and the…

Crypto, AI, and online betting firms are driving a record $517 million in corporate election spending

Crypto firms, artificial intelligence companies, and online gambling businesses are behind a $517 million of corporate election spending focused on the 2026 U.S. races. Public Citizen’s data claims that U.S. companies put that sum into House and Senate contests during the 15 months through the first quarter, surpassing the $461 million corporations spent across the full two-year 2024 election cycle. Even more cash is expected before voting on November 3, when Democrats will try to control both chambers. The businesses sending the largest checks are not the traditional powers that dominated political money in Washington for decades. Crypto, tech, and…

CEO of a Crypto Firm Managing $4 Billion Shares Two Altcoins He Believes Are Bullish

Haseeb Qureshi, a partner at cryptocurrency-focused investment company Dragonfly, said that the current turmoil in the crypto market is a healthy phase for the sector. According to Qureshi, the departure of some veteran and experienced figures from the industry doesn’t mean crypto is nearing its end; rather, it signals a natural cleanup process in the market, similar to the bursting of early tech bubbles. Qureshi stated that while short-term pain may be inevitable during such periods, the long-term benefits are far more important. The Dragonfly partner argued that pessimistic expectations are exaggerated in every bear market, and that staying in…
