BitUtility Launches Peacock NFT to Unlock Zero-Fee Crypto Payments Worldwide

Published

on

Dubai, UAE, 6th May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, BitUtility has officially launched its initial utility NFT, labeled “Peacock.” The team proposes a way to tear down the hassle wall standing between users’ crypto wallets and their monthly bills.

Rather than wasting time on bridges/exchanges and having to deal with relevant fees, BitUtility brings its one-click system to the market. Any bill (from electricity to phone, and even rent) can be paid with crypto in a matter of a few seconds with BitUtility.

This change is coming together with the launch of the limited Peacock NFT, which will serve as a badge for the Web3 fans powering the BitUility community. In fact, token holders will forever pay 0% fees, get early-bird access to new features, and have a say in the project’s roadmap through shared governance.

Moreover, the NFT supply is capped, and the fee savings compound over time. This is a system designed to increase the value of each token as the project grows.

A Global Payment Layer for Web3 Income

BitUtility operates as a decentralized payment protocol. It connects to thousands of service providers globally, such as:

  • Electricity, gas, and water bills (more generally, utility bills)
  • Mobile plans and top-ups
  • Rent, insurance, and financial services
  • Flight bookings, accommodation arrangements, eSIMs,
  • Gift cards to large international brands
  • Government services in supported jurisdictions

Payments come in through supported crypto wallets only. Peacock NFT holders pay no platform fees, ever. 

The team believes that paying bills with crypto should not be a maze of middlemen and hidden fees. BitUtility turns this mechanism into a quick and low-cost click. With limited Peacock NFT supply and 0% holder fees, the team is aiming to give real utility to its community. It will also be possible to simply resell the NFT later, combining today’s utility of owning the token with tomorrow’s market value.

Designed for Crypto Earners, Not Speculators

The Peacock NFT was created for freelancers, DAO contributors, and remote workers who earn income in crypto. It offers lifetime access to zero-fee payments and also includes:

  • Airdrops from the upcoming BitUtility governance token
  • Access to staking rewards and protocol-based income
  • Voting rights on platform upgrades and integrations
  • Early access to new features and partner programs

Supply is permanently capped at 4,900 NFTs. Ownership grants ongoing benefits as the platform expands.

Economic Utility, Not Hype

The Peacock NFT was not created with speculation in mind. Its utility is linked to platform use. Holder rewards and protocol incentives accrue proportionally with increasing services and adoption.

The main strength of this NFT is that it aims to bring a definite economic purpose. In fact, Peacock NFT lowers expenses of crypto-based living and connects long-term value to actual financial activity.

BitUtility addresses typical problems of the crypto-native economy. These problems include cross-border remittances, expensive transfer fees, and limited merchant acceptance.

The site eliminates friction by making any crypto wallet a global payment gateway. Transactions are instant and remain fully on-chain. For those living in crypto, it presents a working replacement to fiat bank systems.

Community Governance and Early Access

BitUtility users are shaping upcoming product integrations and governance of the platform. HODLers of the Peacock NFT are at the forefront in directing the same. Throughout BitUtility’s Telegram channel, Discord channel, and X (Twitter) space, the wheels of discussion have been set in motion.

Minting of the Peacock NFT will soon be live. Anyone interested can join the project community and apply for the whitelist.

About BitUtility

BitUtility is a Web3 utility payments platform built to make everyday life truly crypto-native. Instead of shuffling coins through bridges, swaps, banks, and hidden 5–10 % fees, BitUtility lets users pay any utility bill (electricity, rent, phone, groceries) in one direct click from their wallet. 

The protocol handles the behind‑the‑scenes conversions, so users stay entirely on‑chain while merchants still receive local currency. Early supporters can mint the limited Peacock NFT, which locks in 0% lifetime fees, earns a share of protocol revenues, and gives holders voting power over new services. 

As more people choose BitUtility to skip fees and complexity, demand for fee‑free Peacock passes rises too. The system turns an everyday cost‑saver into an asset that can grow and be resold, effectively letting users own a piece of the payment rail they use.

VTrader Unveils AI-Powered Price Prediction Tool to Redefine Market Intelligence in Crypto Trading

Published

on

Delaware, US, 18th July 2025, VTrader, an AI-native financial intelligence platform for digital asset markets, announced the launch of its AI Price Prediction Tool, a proprietary system designed to deliver real-time, predictive insights into cryptocurrency price movements. Unlike conventional platforms that rely on pre-set dashboards and backward-looking indicators, the new tool integrates real-time price data with breaking news, social sentiment, and on-chain metrics to produce contextually informed forecasts.

The AI Price Prediction Tool leverages a multi-layered architecture that combines language modeling, financial semantic analysis, and asset-specific behavioral modeling. This structure enables the system to evaluate both structured and unstructured data including market signals, regulatory developments, analyst commentary, and crypto-native activity such as token unlocks or network congestion to generate accurate, timely predictions for traders and institutions.

“At VTrader, we aim to empower our users with insights they can’t get anywhere else. In markets driven by noise, information is your edge. Trade with AI signals — not emotion or hype — and position yourself to thrive when the upside comes,” said Steve Gregory, Founder of VTrader

A Three-Layered Intelligence Stack

  1. Generative Language Layer – Context at Scale

Powered by a proprietary Large Language Model (LLM), this layer digests vast volumes of unstructured data — from regulatory filings and analyst notes to breaking financial news, social media sentiment, and global economic indicators. It enables broad contextual awareness across markets, regions, and narratives.

  1. Financial Semantic Layer – From Noise to Signal

This layer structures the chaos. By incorporating domain-specific financial knowledge, it captures subtle but critical differences between genuine market-moving events and hype. Whether it’s a footnote in an analyst report or a sudden spike in on-chain stablecoin flows, this layer identifies tone, urgency, and relevance with precision.

  1. Investment Methodology Layer – Volatility Modeled in Code

Tailored to the unique behavior of each asset, this layer learns from a cryptocurrency’s historical data, price cycles, and qualitative signals to model future movement. It aligns predictive outputs with how value, risk, and timing have manifested in the past — ensuring forecasts are not only data-rich but also contextually grounded.

Purpose-Built for the 24/7 Crypto Market

Unlike traditional models that overlook the nuances of decentralized markets, VTrader’s system is optimized for crypto-native variables. It integrates insights around token unlock schedules, protocol-level congestion, IEOs, policy shifts, gas fees, options and futures expirations, hash rate changes, and more — offering a complete signal layer for digital assets.

Whether you’re managing a treasury, building a trading strategy, or simply staying ahead of the market narrative, the AI Price Prediction Tool from VTrader provides a new kind of intelligence: predictive, explainable, and always on.

About VTrader

VTrader is an AI-native trading intelligence platform that bridges traditional financial analytics with the dynamic world of crypto. By combining generative AI, market semantics, and historical modeling, VTrader empowers users with predictive insights that adapt to the ever-evolving digital asset landscape.

Daman Investments Backs Web3 Sector With Strategic Investment Focus Across Four Key Verticals

Published

on

Dubai, UAE, 18th July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Daman Investments, one of the UAE’s most trusted non-banking financial institutions and among the region’s pioneering investment firms, today announced a strategic expansion into Web3, reinforcing its commitment to shaping the future of digital innovation.

Backed by its principal shareholder and Chairperson, Shehab Gargash, Daman is positioning itself at the forefront of the Web3 revolution through a newly defined investment thesis. The firm has identified four key verticals for focused investment across the decentralized ecosystem:

  1. Consumer dApps

Daman will prioritize investments in Web3 consumer applications that deliver real-world utility. Building on its legacy of sector-agnostic technology investments, the group has already made a significant investment in myco, a UAE-based Web3 video streaming platform poised to become one of the leading consumer dApps globally.

  1. Brokerage & Payments

Recognizing the growing need for regulated crypto services, Daman has incubated Daman Virtual*, a soon-to-be VARA-licensed entity focused on crypto brokerage and payments. This arm of the business will drive innovation in digital asset transactions and serve as a gateway to the crypto economy.

  1. Web3 Loyalty Infrastructure

Leveraging the Group’s footprint in consumer banking, hospitality, and mobility, Daman is keen to invest in Web3 startups building next-generation loyalty solutions across MENA. These platforms are expected to redefine customer engagement through token-based rewards and interoperable loyalty programs.

  1. AI-Powered Web3 Ventures

Daman also announced a strong investment interest in the convergence of AI and Web3. The firm has made its first move by backing A47, a UAE-based decentralized news network powered by AI agents, aiming to disrupt how news is created, distributed, and monetized.

To further its vision in this space, Daman Investments has appointed globally recognized Web3 strategist and venture investor Momin Saqib as their Web3 Advisor, with an initial focus on the global success of #A47. Under his guidance, Daman plans to explore deeper engagement with emerging web3 technology and founders shaping the decentralized future.

“We believe Web3 will play a foundational role in the future of finance, media, consumer tech, and infrastructure,” said Ahmed Khizer Khan, CEO of Daman Investments. “Through calculated investments and strategic partnerships, we aim to empower disruptive startups that align with our vision for a more open, decentralized, and AI-integrated digital economy.”

*Daman Virtual is in the process of obtaining a license from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) in Dubai and is currently not offering any regulated services

Henry W. Johanson: A Visionary Investor Shaping the Future of Finance

Published

on

Henry W. Johanson, a distinguished figure in global finance, has built a legacy grounded in foresight, integrity, and innovation. Born in Boston in 1965, Johanson developed an early fascination with economics, which would guide the course of his life. He earned his undergraduate degree in economics from Harvard University and later completed a Ph.D. in Finance from Harvard Business School in 1995, establishing a robust foundation in economic theory and financial strategy.

With over 25 years of hands-on experience in the financial sector, Johanson has consistently demonstrated a unique ability to anticipate global macroeconomic trends and translate them into transformative investment strategies. His professional journey took a pivotal turn in 1998 when he joined Morgan Stanley, where he quickly rose to lead its asset management division. By 2005, he had become a senior advisor within the department, overseeing over $60 billion in fund assets. Under his leadership, the firm navigated turbulent financial cycles with resilience, delivering steady returns to institutional and high-net-worth clients.

What sets Johanson apart is not only his analytical acumen but also his boldness in emerging sectors. He is best known for his landmark investments in semiconductor technology and blockchain finance. Perhaps his most celebrated success is his early investment in NVIDIA (NVDA). Recognizing the company’s potential to become a linchpin in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning, Johanson began acquiring shares in 2016, the year NVIDIA launched its AI-optimized DGX-1 system. Between 2016 and 2024, NVDA stock soared over 4,500%, validating his foresight. In early 2024, he partially exited at a strategic high, locking in exceptional gains while maintaining a long-term outlook on the company’s role in AI infrastructure.

Similarly, in the blockchain domain, Johanson was ahead of the curve. In 2022, during a time of skepticism and market downturn, he made a substantial investment in Coinbase (COIN), the largest publicly traded cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S. His thesis rested on the long-term value of regulated digital asset platforms. By 2024, COIN shares had surged over 700%, proving yet again Johanson’s ability to identify asymmetric opportunities in volatile markets.

Johanson’s investment philosophy combines deep macroeconomic insight, robust risk control, and disciplined asset allocation. He emphasizes long-term value over short-term speculation, particularly in disruptive technology sectors. His approach integrates traditional financial modeling with modern tools, including AI and data analytics, to enhance predictive accuracy and scenario planning.

In 2020, Johanson channeled his knowledge into a new endeavor: founding the Inteviron Capital Institute. This initiative reflects his commitment to financial literacy and strategic thinking. The Institute offers research, education, and advisory services aimed at empowering the next generation of investors. It also serves as the incubator for Gemini AI, a next-gen financial intelligence platform that leverages machine learning to deliver real-time market insights and investment strategy recommendations.

Beyond his financial success, Johanson is a staunch advocate for responsible investing and education. He believes that true investment mastery lies not just in accumulating wealth, but in elevating one’s understanding of global systems and using that insight to create sustainable impact. He has pledged considerable resources to philanthropic efforts in education, sustainability, and technology research.

Looking ahead, Henry W. Johanson remains a dynamic force in global finance. His journey from Harvard to hedge fund halls, and now to the frontier of AI-powered investment education, reflects a lifelong commitment to intellectual rigor and strategic innovation. For Johanson, the ultimate goal is not merely navigating markets—it is shaping them for the better.
