Tel Aviv, Israel, July 21st, 2026, FinanceWire

Octrado has announced the publication of a new study examining the scale and structure of the retail proprietary-trading market, including a market-size estimate developed through combined bottom-up and top-down modelling.

The study analyzes a market segment that currently lacks unified public statistics due to its combination of proprietary trading platforms, licensed brokers, technology providers, and various funded-account programmes. Octrado’s analysis incorporates market-infrastructure data, regulated-market macroeconomic figures, platform metrics, and provider samples.

Based on this analysis, the study estimates the primary prop-trading market, defined as the direct annual revenue generated by proprietary trading firms, at USD 4.0 billion to USD 4.5 billion. It further estimates the broader ecosystem value, which includes downstream brokerage fees and notionally allocated trading capital, at approximately USD 20 billion.

The study frames prop-trading as a fast-growing new layer of capital access rather than an isolated product. Retail trading apps now count more than 100 million users a year, growing at roughly 20% CAGR (WEF/BCG), while global OTC FX turnover reached USD 9.6 trillion a day in April 2025, up 28% on 2022 (BIS). Platform data reflects the same momentum: the cTrader ecosystem alone lists more than 40 prop firms, over 500 active challenges and more than 500,000 prop traders. Octrado describes prop-trading as a new organisational layer built on top of existing brokerage infrastructure, in which the entry filter is no longer a trader’s own capital but proven risk discipline.

Growth, however, comes with hard selection. Sample data from FPFX Tech indicates about 14% of accounts pass the evaluation and only 7% of all participants reach a payout. The study concludes that prop-trading democratises access to opportunity, not to outcomes, and that transparency, stable infrastructure and clear legal boundaries will decide the sector’s next phase.

New AI-driven solution leverages customer reviews and competitor insights to help Amazon sellers improve rankings, visibility, and conversions

United States, 21st Jul 2026 – Descripio, an innovative AI-powered Amazon SEO and listing optimization platform, today announced the availability of its advanced suite of tools designed to help Amazon sellers create high-performing product listings using real customer insights. By combining artificial intelligence with customer review analysis and competitor intelligence, Descripio enables sellers to optimize listings, increase product visibility, and drive higher conversion rates on Amazon.

As competition on Amazon continues to intensify, sellers are increasingly seeking reliable solutions for Amazon SEO optimization and listing enhancement. Descripio addresses this challenge by analyzing thousands of customer reviews and competitor listings to identify the language, features, and buying motivations that resonate most with shoppers.

Unlike conventional tools for Amazon SEO, Descripio uses AI to transform customer feedback into actionable listing strategies. The platform automatically generates optimized product titles, bullet points, descriptions, backend keywords, and enhanced visual content tailored to Amazon’s marketplace requirements.

“Successful Amazon selling depends on understanding what customers truly want and communicating that effectively,” said Jens Mattke, spokesperson for Descripio. “Our platform helps sellers turn customer voices into compelling listings that improve discoverability and conversions while saving valuable time.”

Descripio’s comprehensive platform offers a complete approach to Amazon listing optimization by combining multiple AI-powered capabilities within a single solution. Sellers can conduct Amazon listing keyword optimization, discover high-intent search terms, and generate listing content designed to align with shopper behavior and Amazon search algorithms.

The platform also functions as an advanced Amazon listing generator, allowing users to create fully optimized product listings in minutes. Through its sophisticated AI engine, Descripio produces AI-generated Amazon listings based on authentic customer language, helping brands create persuasive and conversion-focused content. Sellers looking to generate listing content for Amazon can use the platform to streamline content creation without sacrificing quality or relevance.

In addition to textual optimization, Descripio introduces innovative visual capabilities through its Amazon AI image generator. The platform’s AI product image generator helps sellers create engaging listing visuals and enhanced brand assets that support stronger customer engagement. From primary listing images to Amazon A+ content images, the solution empowers sellers to produce professional visual assets efficiently.

Descripio further distinguishes itself with robust review intelligence tools. Its integrated Amazon review scraper technology allows users to analyze customer sentiment, identify recurring product themes, and uncover opportunities for listing improvements. Businesses can effectively scrape Amazon reviews and extract valuable insights from customer feedback using Descripio’s intelligent review analysis features.

By leveraging advanced review analysis capabilities similar to an Amazon reviews scraper API, sellers can better understand customer expectations, address product concerns, and refine marketing messaging. This data-driven approach helps businesses create listings that reflect genuine customer preferences and purchasing intent.

The company believes that combining customer sentiment analysis with AI-powered content generation represents the future of Amazon listing optimization. Whether businesses require an Amazon listing optimization service, seek a free Amazon listing optimizer, or need an all-in-one Amazon listing optimization tool, Descripio offers scalable solutions suitable for businesses of all sizes.

Lexington, Kentucky, USA, July 21st, 2026, FinanceWire

Thoroughbred Financial, an OSJ affiliated with Osaic, today announced that Southern Ridge Advisory, led by Steve Allen and his son John Allen, has joined the firm.

Steve Allen built Southern Ridge on the foundation of a highly successful CPA practice, earning a reputation for deep, trust-based client relationships. He is now bringing John into the business to help run day-to-day operations, with a clear path for John to eventually take over leadership of the firm, a succession plan that reflects the same long-term thinking Steve has always brought to his clients’ financial lives.

In joining Thoroughbred, the Allens cited a desire for stronger support infrastructure, a collaborative culture, and room to grow, resources they felt were harder to access on their own.

“From the moment I met Steve, I realized we were a good fit,” said Chris Cantrell, VP of Securities Marketing at Thoroughbred. “You can tell just from a single conversation that taking care of clients is core to his success. We’re excited for Southern Ridge and to be a part of the next chapter.”

Southern Ridge Advisory will operate in partnership with Thoroughbred and Osaic, with Steve and John Allen continuing to serve their existing client base while building out the practice’s next generation of leadership.
