Balance Launches Bot for
Rebalancing Crypto Portfolio
Binance, the world's largest
cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has introduced Rebalancing Bot, a
new feature that enables the exchange’s users to “automatically adjust their
cryptocurrency portfolios to maintain their desired asset allocation with
ease.”
Balance in a blog post published on Thursday noted that the bot will help
its users to manage their risks and trade in line with their investment
objectives. In addition, it can help users increase returns on investment by selling
overvalued assets and purchasing those that are undervalued.
“The Rebalancing Bot can be used
to rebalance based on either pre-set time intervals or changes in a certain
coin's ratio,” Balance explained.
Bybit Introduces AI Tool and
Position Builder to Clients
Bybit, a Dubai-based
cryptocurrency exchange, has expanded its client offerings with the
introduction of two new features. The first is an artificial
intelligence-powered engine called ‘Tools Discovery’ while the second is a
portfolio builder called ‘Position Builder’.
In separate announcements, Bybit explained that while the first product uses “backtested
data” to provide its users with personalized product and strategy
recommendations, the other “provides smart strategy data for futures,
perpetuals, and options contracts, based on liquidity and price trends to help
traders make advantageous decisions.”
The introduction of the two new products comes less than a week after Bybit launched its new 'optimized' Web3 Staking Pool to give its users access to its “uncomplicated ETH staking options.” The pool is aimed at future opportunities expected from the Shanghai Upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain.

Binance has rejected an offer to acquire the stakes of a rival crypto exchange Huobi owned by Justin Sun, who is known for funding Tron, according to a Coindesk report.
Justin Sun, Founder of TRON.
Binance, the largest crypto exchange regarding trading volume, turned down the offer due to Huobi's ties with mainland China. However, neither of the involved parties revealed anything officially.
However, Sun's ownership and stake in Huobi are private. About Capital purchased Huobi last October, but Sun's representative denied any links to that Hong Kong-based investment company. However, Huobi confirmed in January that Sun is a leader in the crypto exchange.

ASIC cancels AFS Licence of Starfish Financial
Australian financial market watchdog, ASIC, has canceled the regulatory authorization of Starfish Financial Services Pty Ltd that allowed the company to deal in interests in managed investment schemes to wholesale clients.
The cancellation of the Australia Financial Services (AFS) license came as Starfish failed to maintain the required organizational competence to provide the financial services covered by its AFS license and to meet its financial reporting obligations.
Starfish, which obtained the AFS license in October 2017, is now permitted to offer only necessary financial services until 30 April, during its winding down process.

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.

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.
