After writing about “How Gen AI Can Help You Pick Stocks & Where It Falls Short”, I wanted to test it in the real world. No theory, practical use case; just me, AI, and the two most talked about ETFs in the moving sectors: the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). The goal? See if AI could help me researc...

As a founder that just completed a seed round, I’ve seen firsthand how much the funding environment has changed over the past couple of years. Yes, in 2025, there is more capital flowing into fintech again, but early-stage startups are playing by an updated rulebook. Investors are more disciplined, timelines are longer, and expectations are hig

Let’s be real… if you told a crypto fan six months ago that Bitcoin would go through its halving (which usually kicks off a major price run), get the green light on those shiny new ETFs (so big investors can pile in easily), and STILL be moving sideways in price, they’d probably look at you like you’d just downed three craft beers before midday.

Despite widespread investment in AI, we are still seeing the adoption of superficial AI initiatives that are failing to deliver tangible value where it matters most. This is particularly true when AI strategies are imposed from the top down, overlooking the insights of those closest to a company’s daily operations. Enthusiastic individuals might e...

While Open Banking transactions remain significantly less prone to fraud than other payment types, financial crime, particularly Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud, is still a major concern across the ecosystem. In fact, Cifas’ latest Fraudscape report shows a 76% surge in ATO cases, with more than 74,000 filed in 2024 alone. The spike in unauth...

A quiet but profound shift is underway in the U.S. payments system. In March 2025, the White House issued a mandate: by the end of FY2025, virtually all federal government payments — including tax refunds — must move off paper checks and onto electronic channels, primarily ACH.
