diligently worked together to finalize a $7 billion deal. However, In a
surprising move that sent shockwaves through Mexico, the president expanded
state control over railroad, mining and aviation sectors. Larrea was scared that

the deal.
Gate.io Launches in Hong Kong
Gate Group, the operator of crypto exchange Gate.io, has entered Hong Kong with its new local crypto trading platform, Gate.HK. The launch came when the crypto exchange is preparing to apply for a digital asset license in Hong Kong.
The platform, which already started services on 23 May, offers spot trading with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. It also has plans to broaden its offerings by adding services for retail and professional investors.
“In the future, the new platform will roll out various other services to provide a more extensive range of trading choices, tailoring each new product and service to meet the needs of users and the regulatory requirements in Hong Kong,” the announcement added.
IG Cautions Volatility with Turkish Elections
London-headquartered IG has released another warning on possible market volatility with the run-off voting for the Turkish presidential election to be held on next Sunday. The Turkish presidential and parliamentary elections were held last Sunday, but none of the parties could manage to receive 50 percent of the votes, resulting in the run-off elections.
“During the trading on May 14th (Sunday) before and after the Election Day, the liquidity of the Turkish lira market dropped significantly, resulting in a time period during which online trading could not be provided,” the notice said. “There is a possibility that the Turkish lira market will fluctuate suddenly depending on the trend of the election as well.”
“From the second half of this week to the first half of next week, especially in the morning of Japan time and on Monday, May 29th, we expect a sharp increase in volatility in the foreign exchange market due to election results, etc., so we will start trading as usual. Please note that there is a good chance that you will not be able to do so.”
Bitget Taps Copper’s ClearLoop

CFI Opens Egypt Office
Credit Financial Invest (CFI), a prominent FX/CFDs broker in the Middle East, expanded its physical presence in the region with the opening of a new Egypt office.
“Unlocking new possibilities in Egypt! We celebrate today the grand opening of our extended offices, as we proudly bring our services to the vibrant land of Egypt,” the social media handle of the broker stated.
CFTC Goes after Icomtech
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has joined the country’s securities market regulator to take enforcement action against the five promoters of Icomtech, a fraudulent crypto investment scheme.
The regulator highlighted that the five defendants fraudulently siphoned hundreds of thousands of dollars from more than 170 individuals for the supposed trading of Bitcoin and other digital assets. The scheme predominantly targeted Spanish-speaking communities, offering ‘daily returns’ of between 0.9 percent to 2.8 percent and promising to double the investment in about four to eight months.
Now, the CFTC is trying to recover the victims’ investments and seeking to impose civil penalties on the five defendants, along with permanent trading and registration bans and injunction.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
