Sage Capital Management has evolved its business from a crypto prime broker to a complete operating system for digital assets. At the core of this transformation is the launch of the firm’s private banking service designed for crypto professionals, enabling seamless management between fiat and digital asset markets within a single operating environment. In addition, Sage Capital Management has introduced a proprietary unified trading platform for liquidity, execution, risk management, and Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA). With this expanded offering, Sage Capital Management can now enable hedge funds, asset managers, trading firms, brokers, corporate treasuries and digital asset treasuries to connect banking, markets access, capital, and technology through one regulated counterparty, providing them with all the infrastructure they need to seamlessly move, trade, and manage digital assets globally. Nathan Sage, CEO, Sage Capital Management, “Today we are announcing an unrivalled offering that addresses significant pain points for institutional clients such as fragmentation and operational friction. We have created a single environment, with unified onboarding, which connects every part of the financial workflow for institutional digital asset clients, reducing operational risk, speeding up the movement of funds, minimising counterparty exposure, and enhancing capital efficiency. “In particular, the launch of our banking service, fully integrated into our digital asset infrastructure is game changing, setting new standards in how institutional clients access, manage and deploy capital across digital asset markets.” Sage Capital Management’s new integrated financial network consists of four key pillars, which are available independently but have been designed to deliver maximum value when used together. These are: Banking - Launching today, Sage Capital Management’s banking service provides clients with named, multi-currency accounts under their legal entity, with access to UK Faster Payments, SEPA, SWIFT and over 140 global currencies. This private banking style service is integrated with global payment rails from Tier 1 banks and enables clients to send and receive payments globally, just like a traditional bank account but directly connected to digital asset markets. Clients benefit by being able to move quickly between fiat and digital assets, and manage payments and FX. They can also have physical and virtual corporate Mastercard debit cards linked to their account. A major feature of this new banking service is that every Sage Capital Management client receives an Embedded COO™ - a senior operator who acts as an extension of their business. This is the operational backbone of the service, providing clients with a true banking operations partner, not just access to an account. Markets Access - Providing clients with unified access to global spot, derivatives, and OTC liquidity, through a single, regulated counterparty. Sage Capital Management offers real-time settlement, unified risk, and non-internalised execution, with deep liquidity across more than 40 global venues, removing the need to onboard, fund, or manage multiple venues or liquidity providers. Capital Engine - Enabling clients to have centralised access to portfolio margin, institutional credit, and structured financing.  Collateral is deployed once and used across the network, supported by Sage Capital Management’s multi-provider capital architecture, which routes credit dynamically, maximising collateral efficiency. The Sage Platform - This proprietary technology development, also launching today, provides clients with a unified trading platform for liquidity, execution, margin, risk and TCA. It enables multi-venue, multi-product trading with an aggregated orderbook, advanced algos, and customisable institutional workspaces. Nathan Sage concludes, “Our new offering sets us apart from competitors, with one integrated financial network, powered by a unified technology platform and engineered for institutional scale. We are giving institutions the ability to operate end-to-end – across banking, liquidity, capital, and technology – without friction, and are ultimately making institutional participation in digital assets more accessible than ever.” Sage Capital Management operates within a multi-jurisdictional framework across the UK, EU and other recognised financial authorities. Banking, payments, custody and credit services are delivered through regulated entities and partners, ensuring institutional-grade governance, compliance, and operational oversight.

Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group), in partnership with the Lagos State Government and the Health Emergency Initiative (HEI), has extended Project BLOOM (Bringing Life to Our Overlooked Minors) to Alimosho Local Government Area, continuing efforts to address child malnutrition in underserved communities across Lagos State. The third outreach under the initiative, held in Alimosho within Lagos State Health District I, reached over 120 malnourished children, providing nutritional support, medical screening, and caregiver education. This follows earlier interventions in Yaba and Ajegunle, which have collectively supported over 320 children and 300 caregivers, with monitoring data showing that more than 50% of beneficiaries in the first two phases entered recovery. NGX Group staff volunteers worked alongside Lagos State health workers and HEI facilitators during the outreach, assisting with screenings and data recording. Structured follow-up visits are scheduled after four weeks to monitor recovery and provide extended care where necessary. Temi Popoola, Group Managing Director and CEO of NGX Group, linked the initiative to broader economic resilience. “Sustainable capital markets are built on strong social foundations,” he stated. “The recovery rates we see with Project BLOOM prove that targeted, collaborative action between the public sector, civil society, and the private sector can deliver tangible impact.” Executive Director of HEI, Achunine Pascal, said child malnutrition remains a major contributor to under-five mortality in Nigeria, adding that Project BLOOM is designed to go beyond immediate food support through structured follow-up and continued care. Also speaking, the Chairman of Alimosho Local Government Area, Honourable Akinpelu Ibrahim Johnson, said the initiative supports the council’s long-term strategy for improving child nutrition through early detection, prevention, and effective management of malnutrition. Representing the Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Health District I, Dr. Solomon Adeyanju commended NGX Group for its commitment to child health, describing Project BLOOM as a valuable complement to the state’s primary healthcare efforts. With additional outreaches planned, the partners reaffirmed their commitment to reducing preventable child mortality while strengthening the social foundations required for sustainable economic growth.

More than twenty years ago, major brokerages entered into the Global Research Analyst Settlement (GRAS) to address allegations of twelve investment banking firms’ undue influence over research analysts at the time. GRAS imposed necessary but expressly provisional restrictions, including a five-year sunset clause, while the SEC worked to build a stronger, more durable regulatory framework applicable to the full universe of firms and their research departments. In a recent opinion article, former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt suggests that ending GRAS weakens safeguards against analyst conflicts. We share Mr. Levitt’s longstanding concern for market integrity. But GRAS was never intended to be permanent—and investor protection neither begins nor ends with a single settlement. Today’s newer rules are broader in scope, more enforceable in practice, and calibrated to new technologies that enhance information accessible by investors. Since GRAS, the SEC and FINRA, which has responsibility for all investment firms that conduct analyst research, have implemented a comprehensive set of protections that directly address research analyst conflicts. Regulation Analyst Certification, for example, requires analysts to affirm that their views are their own and to disclose compensation tied to their recommendations. FINRA Rule 2241, meanwhile, governs equity research conflicts; Rule 2242 does the same for debt research. These measures surpass GRAS in scope and provide clear standards and strong oversight. Mr. Levitt’s column also does not take account of FINRA’s responsibility to ensure that existing and future rules enable firms to produce quality and objective research in the interest of investors. As FINRA’s CEO Robert Cook emphasizes, current rules exceed GRAS requirements. Where Mr. Levitt focused on GRAS firewalls that helped to shield research analysts from the undue influence of investment banking personnel, Mr. Cook explains that Rule 2241’s provisions are intended to provide such protection, doing so with a broader scope while taking into account the complexities of different business models and unique fact patterns. Further, the SEC monitors market practices through examinations and collaboration with FINRA, targeting the very misconduct that led to GRAS. Markets evolve—and regulation must keep pace. GRAS was a stopgap, not a permanent solution. Investor protection hasn’t ended; it has advanced. Clinging to an antiquated paradigm favors nostalgia over progress. Today’s framework surpasses GRAS in scope and provides flexibility to address the future – with investor protection top of mind.

Moomoo, a leading global investment and trading platform, announced expanded retail access to the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of BitGo (NYSE: BTGO)—the first crypto IPO of 2026—with moomoo accounting for just under 10% of the total offering. Moomoo investors overall subscribed for $647.6 million in BitGo shares, which is over three times the total offering, with all moomoo customers who requested shares receiving an allocation, signaling exceptional retail demand. This outcome exceeds typical retail access in competitive, oversubscribed IPOs and underscores moomoo’s growing role in bridging retail and institutional access as IPO activity begins to reaccelerate. BitGo is one of the most closely watched digital asset companies to enter the public markets, and its debut reflects renewed investor interest in the crypto and digital assets sector. For years, retail participation in IPOs has been constrained by limited access. Moomoo is working to change that dynamic by expanding retail participation in high-demand offerings and providing subscribers who requested shares with a more consistent path to allocation. This approach builds on prior subscriber participation by moomoo subscribers in offerings such as Bullish, Figure, and Gemini. “We are pleased to work with moomoo on our IPO and to make shares available to a broad base of investors,” said Mike Belshe, CEO of BitGo. “Through our partnership with moomoo, we’re expanding access to public market opportunities, which aligns with the ongoing evolution of digital assets, where broader investor participation has been a core principle from the start.” In addition to IPO access, moomoo provides comprehensive research and analytical resources to support informed investment decisions. The platform offers a robust suite of tools, including moomoo AI*, an intelligent investing assistant that delivers professional-grade insights across equities, ETFs, and IPO candidates. Powered by moomoo’s extensive data ecosystem, moomoo AI helps users analyze market trends, financial metrics, and broader macro signals related to new listings. “Participating in the BitGo IPO reflects our focus on expanding access to meaningful investment opportunities for our subscribers,” said Neil McDonald, CEO of moomoo US. “For this offering, we focused on preparation, transparency, and execution to help users participate with confidence as the IPO market begins to reopen.” *Moomoo AI is an AI tool provided by Moomoo Technologies Inc.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its updated final draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on resolution plans and on the functioning of resolution colleges. The revisions aim to simplify and refocus resolution planning while improving the effectiveness of cooperation and coordination among authorities. Drawing on more than a decade of practical experience, as well as insights from crisis cases and simulation exercises, the EBA has completed a comprehensive review of the RTS on resolution plans and resolution colleges, adopted in 2016 and combined under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1075. The updated standards revise both the structure and the content of resolution plans and enhance the operational framework for resolution colleges for cross‑border groups. Key changes to the RTS on resolution plans and resolvability assessments include: A more consistent and concise set of essential information for plan summaries More proportionate and focused plan content, tailored to the specificities of each institution or group. A clearer separation between the resolution strategy selection and the assessment of resolvability. A reorganised resolvability assessment structured around seven core dimensions to ensure greater consistency and effectiveness across the EU. Key updates to the RTS on resolution colleges aim to: Simplify processes to reduce administrative burden. Improve cooperation and information exchange among authorities involved in planning and execution. Strengthen coordination mechanisms for the implementation of resolution schemes. Legal basis Under the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) - Directive 2014/59/EU - the EBA is mandated to specify the content of resolution plans (Articles 10 and 12), the assessment of resolvability (Article 15), and the operational functioning of resolution colleges (Article 88). The original RTS were submitted to the Commission in 2014 and adopted in 2016.

Recent geopolitical stress surrounding Greenland and renewed tariff threats, which are similar to the developments with China last October, are weighing on market sentiment. In addition, sustained selling pressure from large market participants (“whales”) is dragging prices lower in the short term. While the widely cited four-year cycle theory is not fundamentally convincing, it has become increasingly self-fulfilling and is contributing to the current pullback. Historically, geopolitical shocks tend to follow a similar pattern: events such as the collapse of the Yen carry trade or trade-related disputes initially trigger sharp drawdowns in Bitcoin before a phase of stabilization begins. The trajectory always depends on the specific nature of the event. Against this backdrop, continued short-term pressure followed by recovery appears likely. Fed Succession: Why the Market May Be WrongA second major headwind is uncertainty around the next Federal Reserve Chair. Markets had recently priced in Kevin Hasset, currently serving as a White House adviser, however President Trump signaled that he prefers to keep him in his current role. As a result, Polymarket has moved strongly toward Kevin Warsh, who is considered a pronounced hawk and skeptical of rate cuts. This expectation is visibly influencing Bitcoin sentiment. This interpretation is largely misguided: in the current environment, Warsh would be poorly aligned with Trump’s repeatedly stated objective of monetary easing this year. A Fed Chair who would categorically rule out rate cuts does not fit the President’s policy direction. Futures markets and prediction markets may therefore be mispricing this scenario. In the short term, geopolitical risks and the Fed succession question remain defining drivers for Bitcoin. In the medium to long term, however, the familiar pattern persists of geopolitical stress causing volatility but not necessarily structural weakness. Regulation: The “Clarity Act” in LimboOn the US regulatory front, delays to the “Clarity Act” are becoming increasingly apparent. Originally designed to establish clear rules for stablecoins and particularly beneficial for Ethereum, is currently being blocked in the US Senate Banking Committee because of a dispute relating to the rewards that are paid to those who own stablecoins. The bill’s original intent risks being diluted by political interests.
