Adler Winner Academy: A Practical Hub Empowering Investors to Thrive in the Digital-Finance Era
Frankfurt am Main, Germany — 27 May 2025 — Adler Winner Academy (AWA), the new education venture founded by veteran portfolio manager Sebastian Adler, today unveiled a comprehensive curriculum designed to close the gap between academic finance theory and the real-time demands of global capital markets.
The academy’s opening follows 18 months of development, during which Adler and a group of former sell-side analysts, data scientists, and fintech engineers translated the investor’s three-decade track record into a structured training program that—according to the team—can be replicated by retail and institutional participants alike.
“We are seeing record liquidity, record volatility, and record information noise—all at the same time,” Adler said at the launch event. “Investors need tools, but they also need a decision-framework. Our goal is to supply both, then test them in environments that feel as intense as the live market.”
A Four-Pillar Model Blending Theory, Simulation, Technology and Community
AWA’s core offering is organised into four interlocking components:
| Pillar | Key Elements | Intended Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Foundational Theory | 36 hours of classroom modules on market microstructure, behavioural finance, and risk anthropology | Anchor decisions in empirical research rather than headline bias |
Crisis-Sandbox |
High-frequency replay of events such as the 2008 GFC, 2020 pandemic and 2022 Russia-Ukraine shock | Stress-test discipline and position-sizing under extreme conditions |
| Quant & Data Lab | Direct access to Adler’s in-house multimodal AI stack integrating satellite, supply-chain and macro data | Enable students to prototype systematic strategies with target Sharpe > 2.0 |
| Alumni & Deal Flow Network | Closed community plus quarterly briefings from Adler’s €100 million AI venture fund | Provide continuous idea-sharing and early exposure to frontier technologies |
The inaugural class is capped at 120 participants. Roughly half are mid-career asset-management professionals pivoting into quantitative roles; the remainder are private investors screened through an online assessment of statistical reasoning skills.
From Pandemic Gains to Classroom Casework
The academy’s curriculum draws heavily on trades executed by Adler’s team during volatile macro regimes. One flagship case study dissects the €32 million profit the group realised on BioNTech call warrants during the first wave of COVID-19. Students are asked to:
Reconstruct the top-down thesis using contemporaneous media flow and pre-print medical studies;
Quantify event-volatility premia across biotech peers;
Simulate alternative hedges that could have kept drawdowns below two per cent under a failed Phase III scenario.
“All data are timestamped exactly as they appeared, with no hindsight corrections,” explained Dr. Anne Vogel, lead architect of Crisis-Sandbox and former quantitative strategist at Deutsche Borse. “If a headline was ambiguous at 10:02 a.m., it stays ambiguous. The goal is to hardwire process, not outcome anchoring.”
Hedge-Fund-Grade Tools Without the Black-Box
A differentiator touted by Adler Winner Academy is the direct hand-on-keyboard access to software normally gated behind institutional licences:
Multimodal AI Engine — combines satellite vessel-tracking, sentiment analysis of shipping documents and OECD now-casts to flag supply-chain disruptions.
Full-Asset Simulator — allows students to test cross-asset allocations (equities, bonds, FX, commodities, crypto) with margin rules mirrored on Eurex and CME.
Blockchain Lab — parses on-chain liquidity pools and stable-coin spreads; past cohorts used it to replicate a 20x leveraged arbitrage first executed on Aave.
According to internal pilot results reviewed by an external advisory board, 27 of 32 beta students produced model portfolios with a live six-month Sharpe ratio above 2.1 and maximum drawdown under 5 per cent.
Industry Reactions and Governance
Independent observers note that AWA arrives at a time when traditional charter programs are struggling to keep pace with AI-driven data sets.
“Professional accreditation remains valuable, but the market is craving walk-forward evidence,” said Prof. Matthias Koch, Chair of Applied Finance at the University of Cologne, who is unaffiliated with the academy. “If Adler can validate that his graduates transfer these skills to audited accounts, AWA could set a new standard for practitioner education.”
To address compliance and consumer-protection concerns, Adler Winner Academy has formed a supervisory council that includes:
Dr. Sabine Ortmann, former head of conduct supervision at BaFin;
Wei Liang, ex-global head of model risk at a tier-one U.S. bank; and
Catherine Rowe, CFA Institute curriculum contributor.
The academy emphasises that it does not manage client assets, provide personalised investment advice, or solicit capital. All trading simulations are executed in sealed sandboxes that prohibit outward order routing.
Expansion Plans
Construction has begun on a second facility in Singapore that will specialise in real-time FX microstructure and Asia-Pacific equity futures. Adler Winner Academy also signed an MoU with two European universities to co-develop micro-credentials stackable toward a Master’s degree in Financial Data Engineering.
Applications for the Autumn 2025 intake open on 1 June 2025. Tuition for the nine-month flagship program is €19,800, with 15 merit-based scholarships earmarked for candidates from under-represented regions.
About Adler Winner Academy
Adler Winner Academy is a private, practice-focused institution dedicated to advancing investor competence in the age of AI and high-velocity data. Headquartered in Frankfurt, the academy offers immersive simulations, quantitative research tools and a global alumni network aimed at cultivating durable, cross-asset investing skills.

Bitcoin Tops $112,000 as Dormant Whales Resurface; $150,000 Target Seen Viable by Year End
Bitcoin surged to an all-time high above $112,000 this week, buoyed by a wave of reawakened whale wallets and increasing institutional flows. The renewed on-chain activity is reviving bullish sentiment, and some forecasts suggest BTC could hit $150,000 by year-end.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency climbed more than 18% since the start of 2025, pushing its market capitalization to $2.21 trillion. As of mid-July, BTC was trading near $111,100 amid elevated daily volumes of approximately $59.4 billion.
A series of high-value transactions by dormant holders has added fuel to the current rally. On-chain data reveals that a long-inactive wallet moved 17,283 BTC valued at roughly $1.88 billion within a single 24-hour window.
Source: OnchainLens
Last week, two Satoshi-era wallets transferred a combined 20,000 BTC for the first time in 14 years, stoking market speculation over long-term holder behavior.
Further inflows came from the Royal Government of Bhutan, which sent over 350 BTC (around $38.5 million) to Binance in the past 10 days. The transactions highlight the growing involvement of sovereign entities in Bitcoin’s capital flows and may suggest strategic liquidity operations or asset diversification.

Technical Picture Signals More Upside: The Road to $150,000
Despite the sharp price appreciation, technical indicators suggest the rally still has legs. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 63.62, a level that indicates strength without crossing into overbought territory. The MACD has printed a bullish crossover at 172.51, typically viewed as a buy signal, while the 10-day simple moving average remains above the 100-day—a classic indication of short-term momentum.
Still, some caution is warranted in the near term. The stochastic oscillator has risen to 86.46, a reading often associated with interim consolidation. Analysts flag resistance levels at $117,498 and $127,279 as potential inflection points. Failure to breach these levels decisively could trigger profit-taking.
Sentiment among institutional investors continues to improve, helped by accommodative macro conditions, steady ETF inflows, and concerns over traditional fiat debasement. Analysts at cryptona.co see $150,000 as a realistic price target for Bitcoin in the coming months provided that $117K is broken with volume support.
Key tailwinds include expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, further sovereign adoption, and rising demand for digital assets in inflation-hedging portfolios.
Bottom Line
Bitcoin’s breakout above $112,000 reflects both deepening institutional engagement and a pivotal shift in long-term holder behavior. While short-term corrections remain likely, technical and fundamental structures align toward further appreciation. The $150,000 target may no longer be speculative, as it’s increasingly becoming the market’s base case.

WOM Protocol Launches Testnet of EVM Layer 1 Blockchain to Power the Next Era of SocialFi
Singapore, 11th July 2025, WOM Protocol was early to SocialFi. Back in 2020, when few believed in decentralized word-of-mouth marketing, WOM began building the infrastructure to make it real. While many “to-earn” models collapsed over time, WOM persisted – improving its protocol, growing its ecosystem and proving that authentic recommendations can scale. Today, WOM is taking its most significant step yet: launching the Testnet of its own EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, unlocking a new phase of growth.
The Perfect Timing in a New SocialFi and InfoFi Landscape
In 2025, SocialFi and InfoFi have evolved rapidly, with projects like Kaito AI and Cookie DAO showcasing new models for decentralized content and community engagement. But in an age of AI-generated information, content validation and authenticity ratings are becoming inevitable. The reputation of creators – and the credibility of what they share – will be the most valuable assets in marketing.
This is why WOM’s timing is critical. While the protocol may have been ahead of the curve between 2020 and 2024, the team has demonstrated persistence, continuous improvement and has refined its unique content authentication model into a solution that can now be universally implemented across any type of content.
Since launch, WOM has surpassed 300,000 validated content pieces across platforms like the BULLZ app and the WOM Authenticator app and processes up to 200,000 daily transactions. These first applications will migrate their activity to the new WOM Layer 1 blockchain once Mainnet launches.
A $1 Million Grant Program and Strategic Growth Initiatives
To fuel ecosystem growth, WOM is introducing a grant pool worth up to $1 million in WOM Tokens over the next two years, supporting SocialFi builders, new platform integrations and community-led initiatives. This token unlock and a planned strategic token sale will help fund further development, onboard more projects and drive awareness through dedicated marketing and trading campaigns.
A High-Performance Blockchain Purpose-Built for SocialFi
The new WOM EVM Layer 1 blockchain is designed to meet the demands of decentralized applications, offering:
- Up to 10,000 transactions per second
- Transaction fees as low as $0.001
- Full EVM compatibility
- Smart contract automation to streamline rewards, validation, and governance
This combination enables a seamless experience for microtransactions, creator incentives and dynamic community engagement.
The Foundation for Authentic, Decentralized Communities
With the Testnet live, WOM will expand integrations, launch new SocialFi use cases and prepare for Mainnet launch in 2026.
In a landscape where SocialFi and InfoFi require dedicated infrastructure, WOM Protocol provides a high-performance home where communities can transact, collaborate and grow together. As the ecosystem evolves, WOM stands ready to be the foundation for authentic, decentralized economies built on trust and transparency.
