Increasing clamour for interest rate pause in US — Anthony Ginsberg

HANetf Holdings Limited

HAN-GINS Cloud Technology Equal Weight UCITS ETF (LSE:SKYY) and HAN-GINS Tech Megatrend Equal Weight UCITS ETF (LSE:ITEK) founder Anthony Ginsberg visits the Proactive London studio to speak about developments in the world of technology and the performance of his tech-exposed ETFs. Ginsburg highlights that his Tech Megatrend ETF covers eight sub-themes and had good run in the first half of the year, followed by a slight dip more recently. He emphasises that they take a balanced approach, with holdings equally weighted and rebalanced every six months, unlike other heavily U.S.-focused tech indices. He also pointed out the convergence of tech themes, such as AI and gaming, which are blurring the lines between sectors. When asked about the level of US exposure in his ETFs, Ginsburg explains that certain tech sectors like robotics and electric vehicles have strong leadership outside the U.S., particularly in Asia, which makes it prudent to take a global approach. Regarding future interest rates and potential paths forward for the US Federal Reserve, Ginsburg expresses optimism, suggesting that a pause or slower rate hikes could benefit tech stocks. He notes that tech ETFs are currently trading at relatively low price/earning ratios, making them attractive investments for the coming months. In summary, Anthony Ginsburg remains positive about the tech sector's prospects, emphasising the importance of a diversified and balanced approach to investment.

Justin Sun Showcases Premier Art Collection at Giacometti's 'Le Nez' Exhibition in Paris

APENFT

Singapore / October 17, 2023 / - On October 7, the exhibition of Giacometti's Le Nez (The Nose), co-sponsored by TRON DAO and APENFT Foundation, was unveiled in Paris, France. Justin Sun, founder of TRON, graced the occasion with his edition of this masterpiece, capturing the attention of the industry. This exhibition brings together, for the very first time, all editions of Le Nez by Alberto Giacometti, a Swiss surrealist artist of immense national significance. In addition to Sun's collection, the exhibition also encompasses three plaster editions and a virtual representation of the bronze sculpture edition, accompanied by all its drawings and archives from the Giacometti Foundation and the Center Pompidou. Industry professionals in attendance affirmed that this exhibition showcases the profound influence of Le Nez on contemporary art. They also praised the timeless vigor of Giacometti, a pivotal sculptor of the 20th century. And the presence of Justin Sun, a leader in the Web3 realm, made this event even more special. Meanwhile, the partnership between the Giacometti Foundation, TRON DAO, and APENFT is a groundbreaking cooperation in the art industry that signifies the fusion between digital and traditional art. Justin Sun's 'Le Nez' Collection Makes its Physical Debut, Elevating Digital Art's Rise to Prominence During the event, the 1964 version of Le Nez from Justin Sun's personal collection, one of the highlights of the event, made its on-site debut. This artwork was acquired by Sun at the 2021 Sotheby's New York Fall Auction for $78.4 million and was then donated to the APENFT Foundation. Some industry experts argue that while the artwork was previously showcased in metaverse galleries and other similar platforms, its physical display in this exhibition provides a unique and invaluable opportunity for art enthusiasts. It brings top-tier artworks closer to the general public, allowing them to closely observe this exceptional piece, appreciate its distinctive artistic allure, and find inspiration from it. Regarding the debut of this top-tier collection, Sun expressed his immense honor in a tweet, he eagerly anticipates the future possibilities that blockchain technology could bring to art. In a collaborative video with a Tik Tok influencer, Cai Luoli, Sun showcased this collection while giving her a tour of his private art gallery. As a dedicated proponent and innovator in the realm of art, especially digital art, Sun has made substantial investments in acquiring artwork pieces from globally celebrated artists, both traditional and digital, including Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Alberto Giacometti, Beeple, and Pak. Sun has also donated several famous pieces from his collection, including Femme nue couchée au collier and OCEAN FRONT to the APENFT Foundation to support the growth of digital art. The Giacometti Foundation commended Sun's endeavors, viewing them as a testament to his commitment as a blockchain, digital, and VR pioneer. His efforts bridge the gap between virtual and physical realms while fostering the growth of both contemporary digital art and modern artistic works. TRON DAO Partners with APENFT to Curate an exciting Event, Bridging Web3 with Traditional Art TRON DAO and APENFT, partners of this exhibition, have always been at the forefront of pushing the boundaries of digital art. With a sponsorship of $1 million, TRON DAO will continue its partnership with the Giacometti Foundation, along with APENFT, to fund artwork research and grow relevant projects. Sun once predicted that 50% of the world's top 100 artists and artworks would be recorded as NFTs in the following decade, during which blockchain technology would build a bridge to merge traditional art with emerging technologies. The APENFT Foundation was founded for this very purpose. APENFT has sponsored an assortment of art summits held by Christie's New York and the likes, making itself the first-ever art foundation that collects artworks across different industries while offering a gateway for traditional art enthusiasts to enter the NFT world. TRON is also committed to promoting the adoption of blockchain technology within the art world. The TRC-721 standard for on-chain NFTs charges lower transaction fees whilst processing transactions at a higher speed. Its standardized guidelines and interfaces for NFT creation, issuance, and transactions make it a preferred choice for developers and users. This event is another landmark in TRON's collaboration with top-notch art institutions, manifesting the integration between Web3 and art. It opens a wealth of opportunities for artists and collectors, providing transparent, secure, and far-reaching avenues to trade and share art. The opening of the Le Nez exhibition celebrates the advent of a new era in art, in which the union of digital and traditional art creates new values for both the Web3 and art industries. The display of Justin Sun's collection adds more color to the event, and with TRON and APENFT's ongoing collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, it will continue to energize the art sector with new possibilities. About APENFT Marketplace APENFT Marketplace is an NFT trading platform native to the TRON blockchain, launched by the APENFT Foundation, with additional support from the world’s largest distributed storage system BitTorrent File System (BTFS).

New Advertiser Perceptions Research Finds Data Standards Increase ROI by 30% or More

Claravine

Advertiser Perceptions, the leader in providing research-based strategic market intelligence to the complex and dynamic media, advertising, and ad tech industries, conducted research examining how US brand marketers and agencies are approaching and perceiving data standardization. The research uncovers key findings around the importance of data standardization across measurement and attribution, privacy compliance, productivity, managing campaign ROI, ad creative development, brand safety, generative AI and consumer experience. Their results found that marketing and advertising agency professionals acknowledge that data standards are essential. A large majority – 91% – agree that applying data standards practices is a must in order to move forward in a privacy-centric way. Advertisers that have data standards in place see average ROI increases of 30% or more across tactics, including privacy compliance (32%), productivity (32%), managing ROI (31%) and brand safety (30%). Eighty-six percent agree that without data standards, their organizations will fall behind competitors or lose market share over time. The bottom line is that a majority of advertisers have yet to master the ability to target and measure the impacts of leveraging rich audience and creative data. Privacy Ecosystem Evolving Those currently using data standards have successfully employed privacy-forward methods for data sharing and analysis in greater numbers vs. their counterparts. The research shows that gaining control over data standards is a must to mitigate risk and remain competitive in today’s quickly evolving regulatory environment. More specifically: Advertisers that have data standards in place are significantly more likely to be using data clean rooms and rely on APIs to share advertiser segment data and ad creative assets, whereas those exploring still lean more heavily on less privacy-minded methods, such as email. Among the two-thirds who use data clean rooms, the overwhelming majority agree that clean rooms are the standard for privacy-compliant data matching. Those utilizing data standardization are more confident in the execution of coherent audience definition, ad creative and measurement strategies and their tiebacks to ROI. Push for Generative AI With advertisers estimating one in every four ads result in ad creatives being served to the incorrect consumer, there is a huge upside in gaining greater visibility into ad creative production, storage and utilization. Specifically, advertisers estimate ROI would increase 29% if they were to be able to serve ad creatives to the correct consumer every time. And if they were to be able to fully attribute campaign performance back to specific ad creatives, ROI would increase by 30%. With two in five already using artificial intelligence (AI) for ad creative development and another one in two considering its use, organizations’ acknowledge that properly tagging and tracking ad creative is increasing in complexity and is critical to measuring and improving performance. Yet, today, only a minority (21%) feel very confident in their ability to keep track of and tag AI-generated creative assets. Importance of Brand Safety & Trust Lack of knowledge as to where creative assets are running also exposes companies to brand safety issues. Ops teams implementing data standards reported the ability to identify where ad creatives were served and whether ads ran next to unsafe brand content much faster than their counterparts. They also estimate a greater ROI from serving the right ads to the right consumer 100% of the time vs. their counterparts. Eighteen percent of US advertisers believe that ads running next to unsafe content can result in significant cost impacts to their business and revenue. And those who have already implemented data standardization believe the cost impacts are significantly greater. For the majority, identifying unsafe ad placements takes time: Roughly half of advertisers said it takes up to a day to identify that ads have run next to unsuitable content. Three in four say that limited reporting or data provided to them via media partners at the ad creative level is a top challenge, as is the fact that attribution models aren’t set up to provide insights at the creative level. “Our research indicates that data standards sit at the very core of many of the industry’s top challenges, including measurement and attribution, privacy compliance, generative AI usage and brand safety,” said Lauren Fisher, GM of Business Intelligence at Advertiser Perceptions. “The greater the understanding an organization has with regard to where its data and creatives are housed, who has access and where they are shared, the greater its ability to manage critical areas of marketing, which ultimately leads to revenue gains for businesses.” Methodology Advertiser Perceptions, surveyed 140 US advertisers in September 2023 to understand their current and future practices with regard to data standards strategies. To qualify for the study, respondents had to be spending $50M annually on digital advertising and involved in decision-making for digital advertising. The study surveyed a mix of respondents across strategic teams, operations and data analytics teams. Agency respondents comprised 30% of respondents, while marketers accounted for 70%. The research was commissioned by Claravine, which helps to standardize taxonomies, naming conventions, and metadata across all digital experiences at the source of data creation. The full report can be downloaded here. “Our industry is constantly evolving, and the pace of change is having big impacts on marketing teams and businesses. Right now there are several topline challenges including an uncertain regulatory environment, a push for generative AI and ongoing concerns with brand safety,” Verl Allen, CEO of Claravine said. “This research proves marketers and agencies understand data standardization is a necessary organizational priority that touches nearly every team, role and system in a company’s marketing efforts. Focusing on data standards at the beginning is a practice that takes time and care, but once implemented it can lead to significant ROI gains.” About Advertiser Perceptions Advertiser Perceptions is the leader in providing research-based strategic market intelligence to the complex and dynamic media, advertising, and ad tech industries. Our curated, proprietary Ad PROS™ Network and deep relationships with the largest advertisers provide clients with an unbiased view of the market, their brand, and the competition.
