Benzinga, a leading financial media and events company, is thrilled to announce the upcoming ETFs Unlocked Webinar, a thought-provoking virtual panel discussion on navigating investment strategies in the evolving financial landscape as we approach 2024. The event is scheduled for November 30, and free registration is open to all. As the financial landscape undergoes changes, investors are increasingly drawn to Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) for various reasons. One key factor driving this trend is the appeal of a diversified approach to investing, particularly in the face of economic uncertainty. ETFs offer investors exposure to a broad range of assets, such as stocks, bonds, or commodities, providing a way to spread risk across various sectors and industries. This diversification can act as a risk management tool, helping investors navigate volatile market conditions more effectively. For sophisticated traders, leveraged ETFs have gained popularity due to their ability to amplify both upward and inverse moves in single stocks. This feature allows traders to potentially maximize returns in a relatively short period. The growing interest in ETFs reflects a broader shift in investment strategies, with investors increasingly valuing the versatility, diversification, and potential for short-term gains that these funds offer in today’s financial landscape. The ETFs Unlocked Webinar will delve into crucial topics such as: Outlook for Investments in a Changing Economic Environment: Examining how evolving economic conditions may affect investment strategies. Identifying sectors poised for strong performance in the shifting financial landscape. Sectors to Watch for Continued Strength: Exploring sectors that offer potential opportunities for investors amid changing market dynamics. Highlighting strategies for navigating a dynamic economic environment. Focus on Sectors During Economic Transitions: Discussing sectors that should be in focus during economic transitions. Impact of Market Conditions on Various Investment Categories: Analyzing how changing market conditions influence the performance of different investment categories. Performance of Investment Income Streams: Addressing the critical question of how investment income streams are expected to perform in the coming year. This engaging panel discussion will feature industry experts including Dave Gilreath CFP®, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer at Innovative Portfolios; Yuri Khodjamirian, CIO at Tema ETFs; Eva Ados, COO & Chief Investment Strategist, ERShares; Joel Shulman, CEO at ERShares; John Ciampaglia, CEO at Sprott Asset Management; Daniel Santiago, Vice President, VantagePoint Software; and Sylvia Jablonski, CEO, CIO at DeFiance ETFs.

Substituting Fuel Generators with Solar Generators: A Transformative Approach to Nigeria's Energy Challenge

Prodigy Press Wire

Nigeria's economy is effectively running on 20 million fuel generators. Despite the fact that since 2015 the import of small generators has been banned in Nigeria, its economy is still heavily dependent on about 20 million small gasoline generators running daily. The collective capacity of which surpasses the entire national grid's ability by eightfold. The inadequate grid capacity, outdated infrastructure, and transmission constraints have led to an average available capacity of only 5 GW in 2022, further exacerbated by unreliable electricity access. This widespread use of small generators in Nigeria poses multifaceted challenges. The toxic fumes released by these generators have resulted in a staggering 1,500 deaths annually. The extensive inhalation of generator smoke not only poses immediate health risks but also contributes to a 70% increased risk of lung cancer among those exposed. Additionally, two-thirds of generator users report impaired hearing, painting a grim picture of the silent toll exacted by these seemingly indispensable power sources. In addition to the health impact, the climate impact is equally devastating, with 75 million liters of fuel consumed daily, with an aggregate emission of 40 million tons of carbon a year in Nigeria alone. Nigeria's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030 is undermined by the environmental footprint of these generators. Fuel prices tripled in 2023 and solar generators are now the preferred solution for customers Fuel prices in Nigeria skyrocketed in July 2023 after subsidies had been removed. The price per liter has since tripled, which makes the usage of fuel generators more costly, with yearly costs estimated at around $12 billion. Meanwhile, the solar generator hasn't changed in price, which is now making the solar generator the preferred and cheapest option for electricity generation. Solar generators are still more expensive than fuel generators on a cash basis. However, after around 2 years, it is typically repaid and customers are “in the money” and receive their electricity for free. The continuous R&D improvements of the A2EI are helping make the solar generator more affordable, in order to reach the tipping point at which every customer will prefer a solar to a fuel generator. The A2EI has invested around $ 5m of its own funds to develop the solar generator and install the first 2.000 solar generators in Nigeria. The demand is much higher, in particular since the fuel prices surged. The question now is how to scale the solar market in Nigeria. The “Green Genset Facility” can unleash a new asset class of around $ 20 bn The biggest obstacle is the lack of working capital that local companies will need to purchase the solar generators before selling it to customers. To aid with this, the A2EI has developed a so-called Green Genset facility with a funding objective of $100 million. The facility will provide funding for local distributors and track repayment patterns digitally. Overall, the asset class of solar generators is estimated to be $20 bn, in Nigeria alone. A2EI's vision is to provide an accessible solution by reducing the upfront costs of solar systems. Thomas Gottschalk, CEO: "Our goal is to bring sustainable and affordable electricity to all, combating global warming by replacing millions of fuel generators with reliable solar alternatives, not only in Nigeria." Global demand for the solar generator is soaring The solar generator was initially designed to address the fuel generator challenge in Nigeria, however, there has been demand from other countries like South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo that also heavily rely on fuel generators. In South Africa for example, the quality of the energy provision has plummeted in 2023, with increasing load shedding. Customers try to overcome the lack of energy provision by purchasing fuel generators which makes South Africa a prime market to position the solar generator as a clean and affordable alternative. In addition to new geographical markets, new sectors such as the market for health centers have emerged as suitable candidates for the installation of solar generators. Small healthcare centers and clinics can be equipped with solar generators to cover most of their energy needs. A first contract to install 75 solar generators in Nigeria has been announced recently. A2EI's journey unfolds with a successful pilot project replacing 2,000 fuel generators, showcasing tangible improvements in the quality of life for users and significant carbon savings of up to 30 tons of carbon per system. The organization now envisions scaling this success to eliminate millions of generators, with its Green Genset facility as the main financing pillar. A2EI aims to provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for improving energy infrastructure in countries like Nigeria, South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and many more. By focusing on distributing the technology as a public good, the institute hopes to create a more sustainable and efficient energy system for all.

Announcing the Launch of Full Trading on the dYdX Chain - Unlocking Trading Rewards & 6 Month Incentive Program

dYdX Operations subDAO

The dYdX Operations subDAO is pleased to announce the launch of Full Trading on the dYdX Chain, introducing new and improved trading rewards, a 6-month Launch Incentive Program proposed by Chaos Labs, and the continuation of Validators and Stakers receiving 100% of protocol fees. Full trading has been enabled by the dYdX Community voting to first move from the Alpha to Beta stage then move from the Beta Stage to Full Trading. BTC-USD, ETH-USD, SOL-USD, and LINK-USD markets are available for full production trading. Over the coming weeks more markets could continue to be added. On November 28, 2023, the dYdX community supported progressing from the Beta Stage to Full Trading by activating Trading Rewards and the 6-month Launch Incentive Proposal. Staking rewards will continue to accrue to Validators and Stakers. Since the launch of the Beta stage, over 1.86M total trading volume has been generated on the platform, with approximately 14k trades and over $1,080 USDC distributed to Validators and Stakers. The 6-month incentive program created by Chaos Labs and approved by the dYdX community through dYdX governance will see $20M worth of DYDX get distributed to early adopters of the dYdX Chain for the first 6-months of Full Trading. Users of the dYdX Chain will qualify to receive rewards for performing certain actions on dYdX Chain. Chaos Labs has focused on a robust reward distribution, designed to amplify dYdX Chain adoption, trading volume, and reward early adopters of the dYdX Chain. Chaos Labs will implement wash trading modules to detect wash trading on the dYdX Chain and won’t reward negative or abusive behaviors. Users will be able to see their rewards via a dYdX Chain Rewards Leadership Portal. Note, each distribution of DYDX rewards under the 6 month Launch Incentives Program is subject to approval from the dYdX Community via a dYdX governance proposal. To migrate from Ethereum to the dYdX Chain, ethDYDX token holders use the permissionless and autonomous one-way bridge, the wethDYDX Smart Contract, to permanently lock their ethDYDX tokens in exchange for wethDYDX on Ethereum and DYDX, the L1 token that powers the dYdX Chain. There are currently over 437 million ethDYDX bridged and 16.44M DYDX staked to the dYdX Chain. The Full Trading Stage of the dYdX Chain succeeds the Alpha and Beta Stages, which focused on security, stability, platform reliability and functionality before enabling Full Trading. The focus of the Alpha Stage was stability and security of the network. Stability and security primarily come from (1) the amount of staked (also referred to as ‘bonded’) tokens to the network and (2) smooth operation of the consensus algorithm. In the Beta Stage, a protocol front-end and an indexer were deployed to offer a trading experience for users, test trading functionality and introduce 33 unique markets. Staking rewards were enabled during the Beta Stage but no trading rewards were enabled. More details about the dYdX Chain Full Trading stage can be found in this blog post. About dYdX Operations subDAO The dYdX Operations subDAO current mandate is to support community engagement, deployment and maintenance of an indexer for the dYdX Chain and deploy, maintain and operate a Frontend User Interface for the dYdX Chain.

Symphony Taps Google Cloud’s Generative AI for Voice Analytics in Financial Services

Symphony Communication Services

Symphony, the leading markets infrastructure and technology platform, will combine its AI and domain expertise with Google Cloud’s transcription and generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) capabilities to offer built-for-purpose financial markets voice analytics. This announcement builds on Symphony’s strategic partnership with Google Cloud as its primary cloud provider. Transcription of voice in the financial markets space is a complex endeavor given the highly specialized and fast-paced nature of the business, its jargon, and the security required to protect the confidentiality of business deals, strategy, and everyday conversations. Off-the-shelf transcription services are not fit-for-purpose and do not provide the security required by financial services firms. To provide its customers with high-accuracy voice analytics, Symphony will use Google Cloud’s gen AI platform, Vertex AI, to enhance its Cloud9 voice product with speech-to-text fine-tuning and natural language processing (NLP) capabilities. Cloud9 is a cloud-based voice solution that helps finance and trading teams collaborate across multiple asset classes such as commodities, interest rate swaps, and equity derivatives. With gen AI, Cloud9 will provide financial institutions with enhanced real-time voice analytics capabilities that can be used to improve customer service, accelerate trade reconstruction, and minimize post-trade processing issues while maintaining compliance and security standards. The compliance-enabling functionality can also extend to active risk analysis and risk management by flagging calls for compliance review when suspicious discussions are detected. Beyond transcribing and summarizing conversations for compliance, this new gen AI-powered capability will be able to extract product and other contextual insights from unstructured data to enrich the Cloud9 user experience for an enhanced understanding of the market. Customers will also be able to extract additional insights from this data such as tagging relevant entities, understanding customer sentiment, and identifying trending topics. “We have been on a journey with Google Cloud for the past two years, one that has been a true partnership on many fronts. We are confident that by tapping Google Cloud’s AI capabilities for voice analytics, Symphony will be able to offer the more than 1,000 institutions we serve with top notch service that will create further efficiency and innovation in financial markets,” said Symphony CEO, Brad Levy. “Generative AI has the potential to transform the trading landscape from automating routine tasks to identifying potential misconduct through anomalies in data,” said Zac Maufe, global head of Regulated Industries, Google Cloud. "Our expanded partnership with Symphony builds on the success of our long-standing collaboration, and with the integration of speech-to-text gen AI, Symphony can provide financial institutions with high accuracy voice analytics that can help improve risk management and drive efficiencies across the trading floor.” Less than a month ago, Levy and the head of customer engineering at Google Cloud Spain and Portugal, Javier Martínez, discussed AI as a disruptor in finance, including potential regulation under consideration and broader impacts in the workplace and society at the Santander International Banking Conference panel AI in finance: What’s next? They were joined by Andrea Renta, director of research at the Center for European Policy Studies (CEPS). About Symphony Symphony is the most secure and compliance-enabling markets’ infrastructure and technology platform, where solutions are built or integrated to standardize, automate and innovate financial services workflows. It is a vibrant community of over half a million financial professionals with a trusted directory and serves over 1000 institutions. Symphony is powering over 2,000 community built applications and bots. For more information, visit www.symphony.com.
