Celtic Finance Institute Pioneering a New Era of Financial Innovation with the Upcoming Global Developer Summit
In today’s rapidly transforming financial landscape, adaptability, foresight, and technological integration are no longer luxuries—they are imperatives. Institutions that lead rather than follow are those that position themselves at the intersection of expertise and innovation. One such institution that exemplifies this ethos is Celtic Finance Institute LTD (CFI). Founded in 2016 by Johnathan R. Carter, a renowned financial strategist and visionary entrepreneur, CFI has grown to become a global beacon of excellence in financial consulting, training, and now, financial technology (FinTech) integration.
As we step into a new chapter of digital evolution, CFI is set to host a landmark event that signifies more than just its expansion: The Global Developer Summit 2025. This ambitious initiative not only reaffirms the company’s commitment to innovation but positions CFI at the heart of a global movement to redefine the role of developers in financial ecosystems. This summit is poised to spark collaborations, unveil groundbreaking technologies, and open a new era of smart finance where AI, blockchain, and data science take center stage.
A Vision That Transcends Borders
When Johnathan R. Carter launched Celtic Finance Institute in Dublin in 2016, his vision was crystal clear: to provide world-class financial education and consulting services grounded in ethical practice, strategic foresight, and technological relevance. Over the past decade, CFI has delivered on this mission, impacting tens of thousands of clients across more than 30 countries.
CFI’s clientele is as diverse as its services—ranging from budding entrepreneurs and individual investors to multinational corporations and regulatory bodies. The institute is best known for:
Advanced Financial Training Programs
Regulatory Compliance Consulting
Investment Risk Management Solutions
Capital Markets Advisory Services
But in the face of unprecedented technological transformation, CFI has never remained static. The upcoming Global Developer Summit is a powerful symbol of its evolution into a hybrid institute—where education meets execution, and theory meets technology.
The Global Developer Summit: Where Finance Meets Innovation
Set to be hosted in Q4 2025 in London, with hybrid participation options for a global audience, the Global Developer Summit will bring together over 1,500 developers, financial analysts, investors, regulators, and tech entrepreneurs. The event will serve multiple purposes:
Launch of CFI’s Tech-Integrated Service Suite – CFI will unveil its new-generation platforms that combine AI-powered analytics, DeFi tools, and blockchain-backed audit systems.
Hackathons and Developer Challenges – Developers from around the world will compete to build financial tools, automation bots, and intelligent investment platforms using CFI’s APIs and SDKs.
Panels and Keynotes – Featuring global thought leaders from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, the summit will explore topics such as decentralized governance, regulatory tech (RegTech), ethical AI, and digital asset management.
Talent and Start-Up Incubation – The summit will serve as a launchpad for CFI’s new FinDev Incubation Hub, where developers with breakthrough ideas can access funding, mentorship, and real-world testing environments.
CFI’s decision to focus on developers may seem unusual for a traditional finance institution, but according to Carter, this move is both strategic and inevitable:
“The architects of tomorrow’s financial systems are not just economists or bankers—they’re developers. They write the algorithms that will determine creditworthiness, automate compliance, and manage trillion-dollar portfolios. At CFI, we believe it’s time to give them the platform they deserve.”
Technology at the Core of CFI’s Future
CFI’s upcoming product suite, which will be launched at the summit, is expected to redefine the firm’s service delivery model. Key offerings include:
1. CFI Nova – An AI-powered investment research assistant
Built using natural language processing and machine learning, Nova enables financial analysts and portfolio managers to process vast amounts of market data in seconds, generating insights that would otherwise take weeks.
2. CFI Ledger – A blockchain-based auditing and reporting system
Designed for compliance-heavy industries, this tool ensures transparent, immutable, and real-time reporting—ideal for companies navigating the increasingly complex global regulatory landscape.
3. CFI Bridge – Developer SDKs and APIs for FinTech integrations
This platform gives developers direct access to CFI’s proprietary algorithms, data sets, and simulation tools, enabling them to build custom tools that plug into existing financial infrastructures.
4. CFI Academy 2.0 – A hybrid learning portal
CFI’s online education platform is being upgraded to include AI-driven personalized learning paths, metaverse classrooms, and live simulation modules, catering to finance professionals and coders alike.
Building a Global Developer Community
CFI’s shift toward the developer ecosystem isn’t just product-focused—it’s cultural. The firm aims to build a Global Developer Network (GDN) under its Celtic umbrella, functioning much like an open-source think tank for finance-related technological innovation. Benefits for members include:
Early Access to Tools and Datasets
Certification and Employment Pipelines
Cross-Border Collaboration Projects
Invitations to Regional Hackathons and Roundtables
The idea is to create a developer-first culture within finance—an industry that, until now, has largely seen coders as back-office support rather than strategic partners. With the GDN, CFI is challenging that narrative.
Collaborations and Partnerships
To ensure the success of the Developer Summit and the initiatives it will launch, CFI has already established partnerships with several high-profile organizations:
MIT Media Lab – For collaborative research in machine learning and behavioral economics.
Chainlink Labs – For secure, decentralized oracles in smart contract deployments.
ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) – For consultation on RegTech sandbox integrations.
Global Finance Blockchain Association – For establishing developer standards across geographies.
These collaborations highlight that CFI isn’t working in isolation. It’s cultivating a financial technology ecosystem that is both interoperable and future-ready.
From Dublin to the World: A Decade of Strategic Growth
From a modest office in Dublin to a multi-continental operation with hubs in London, New York, Singapore, and Dubai, CFI’s growth story is a testament to its adaptability and long-term vision. Over the years, the firm has expanded its offerings to include:
Executive MBA Partnerships with European Business Schools
FinTech Bootcamps in Emerging Markets
Custom AI Solutions for Family Offices and Sovereign Wealth Funds
Crisis Management Advisory during periods of financial turbulence (e.g., COVID-19, Ukraine Crisis, 2022 Crypto Winter)
This track record lends significant credibility to its next phase—the convergence of finance and code.
The Road Ahead: Democratizing Financial Engineering
Celtic Finance Institute believes the next generation of financial innovation should be transparent, accessible, and collaborative. That’s why the upcoming summit isn’t a closed-door affair for institutional investors alone. Students, freelancers, civic technologists, and impact-driven developers are all welcome. Scholarships and travel grants are being offered to ensure inclusive participation.
This democratized approach is also reflected in CFI’s upcoming Open Finance Labs, which will be announced at the summit. These will function as co-working spaces, idea accelerators, and regulatory testing grounds for financial start-ups across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Conclusion: Redefining the Future of Finance, One Developer at a Time
With the world entering an age where finance is no longer the domain of spreadsheets and trading floors but rather of algorithms and decentralized ledgers, Celtic Finance Institute is boldly positioning itself not just as a participant, but as a pioneer. The Global Developer Summit 2025 is more than a conference—it is a call to action for the architects of the next economy.
By fostering a culture of openness, innovation, and global collaboration, CFI is writing a new chapter in financial history—one where developers are the new bankers, and code is the new capital.
As we look forward to this watershed event, one thing is clear: the future of finance is being built today—and Celtic Finance Institute is laying its foundation.

London, UK, 3rd November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As the UK gears up for one of its busiest holiday travel seasons, Global Airport Taxi (GAT) has announced a significant fleet expansion and operational boost ahead of the Christmas Market travel surge. With record numbers of domestic and international visitors expected to visit festive destinations like Manchester, Bath, Birmingham, and Edinburgh, the company is enhancing capacity to meet unprecedented demand for reliable airport transfers.
According to recent travel forecasts, Christmas 2025 is set to see the highest passenger movement in five years, driven by a surge in tourism, retail events, and family reunions. Global Airport Taxi — a leading provider of nationwide airport and intercity transfers — is responding with increased vehicle availability, expanded driver scheduling, and a 24/7 festive operations command centre.
Meeting the Christmas Market Demand
The Manchester Christmas Markets, ranked among Europe’s finest, are expected to attract over 2 million visitors this year. With airports like Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, and Luton bracing for heavy holiday traffic, Global Airport Taxi aims to ensure smooth, on-time travel for both locals and tourists heading north to experience the city’s winter charm.
“Every Christmas, we see travel chaos — overbooked trains, long taxi queues, and last-minute cancellations,” said, Operations Director at Global Airport Taxi.
“That’s why we’ve invested in expanding our nationwide fleet this year — so customers can enjoy guaranteed availability, fixed pricing, and a comfortable journey even during the busiest weeks of December.”
The company’s expanded operations will cover door-to-door transfers from all major UK airports to popular Christmas destinations — including Manchester, Birmingham, York, Oxford, and Edinburgh — offering travellers a stress-free start to their holiday experience.
More Cars, More Comfort: What’s New This Season
To handle the seasonal rush, Global Airport Taxi has:
Increased its active fleet by 35% across London and the North of England.
Added extra MPVs, executive saloons, and 8-seater minibuses for families and group travellers.
Launched a real-time booking tracker to optimize pickup efficiency and reduce waiting times.
Partnered with regional taxi affiliates to ensure availability during peak days like Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.
This proactive expansion is part of the company’s “Travel Smart, Travel Festive” campaign — an initiative designed to promote reliable, safe, and environmentally conscious travel during the holiday rush.
A Global Brand Ready for Local Festivities
Operating in over 150 international locations, Global Airport Taxi continues to bridge the gap between premium service and affordability. Its UK division — headquartered in London — is known for its transparent pricing, 24/7 customer support, and professional drivers.
This Christmas, the company’s Manchester operations hub will serve as a strategic centre for long-distance transfers from Heathrow to Manchester, Gatwick to Manchester, and London to Manchester Christmas Market routes — historically the most in-demand during December weekends.
“We’ve always believed that great travel begins before the destination,” added Jennifer Daniel, Head of Customer Experience.
“By doubling our on-ground readiness this season, we’re making sure families, business travellers, and tourists reach their festive destinations on time — comfortably, safely, and happily.”
Supporting Tourism and Sustainability
Global Airport Taxi’s seasonal readiness also contributes to the broader UK tourism economy. With holiday markets generating millions in local revenue, efficient transport links play a crucial role in visitor satisfaction and return tourism.
Additionally, the company is taking measurable steps toward sustainability by gradually incorporating hybrid and electric vehicles into its winter fleet. The initiative aligns with the UK’s 2030 Net Zero emission goals, reflecting the company’s commitment to green mobility even during high-demand travel periods.
Stress-Free Airport Transfers — Anytime, Anywhere
Travellers can now pre-book holiday transfers via www.globalairporttaxi.com to secure guaranteed rides from all major UK airports. Each booking includes:
-
Instant online confirmation and fixed prices
-
Meet & Greet service with name-board pickup
-
Real-time flight monitoring for delays

Samuel Drnda Rejects Multi-Million Dollar Acquisition Offers — Staying Independent to Build the Future of Decentralized Trading
While competitors get absorbed by exchanges, HyroTrader’s founder focuses on building the world’s first decentralized, multi-exchange prop trading infrastructure.
Prague, Czech Republic, 3rd November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE— In an era where billion-dollar acquisitions reshape the trading landscape, Samuel Drnda, founder and CEO of HyroTrader, made a bold and defining decision — he refused multiple acquisition offers worth tens of millions of dollars, choosing vision, innovation, and independence over a lucrative exit.
The offers followed the high-profile acquisition of Breakout by Kraken, one of HyroTrader’s main competitors. Shortly after, Drnda was approached by two of the world’s largest forex prop trading firms and one of the biggest global crypto exchanges, each seeking to fully acquire and absorb HyroTrader’s rapidly growing trading ecosystem.
“Each offer had the same condition — total control,” said Drnda.
“They wanted to buy everything we’ve built and integrate it into their structure. But HyroTrader was never built to be sold. It was built to change how the prop trading industry works.”
A Vision Too Big to Sell
Founded in 2020, HyroTrader quickly evolved from a trading platform into one of the fastest-growing crypto prop trading firms in the world, empowering over 30,000 active traders and achieving consistent month-over-month growth.
By 2024, HyroTrader was featured multiple times as the “Best Crypto Prop Firm” by leading trading and fintech media outlets — a recognition that reflected both its innovation and trader-first approach.
Today, HyroTrader is setting a new global standard with Hyro Protocol, the first decentralized, non-custodial crypto prop trading infrastructure built on Solana.
“From day one, our vision was to build a decentralized prop firm connected to multiple trading exchanges — a true on-chain ecosystem where traders, investors, and liquidity providers interact transparently,” said Drnda.
“We’re not just another prop firm. We’re creating the infrastructure for the next generation of crypto prop trading firms.”
From Bootstrap to Billion-Dollar Vision
HyroTrader’s rise is even more remarkable because it was built entirely without venture capital.
“In the early days, no VC wanted to invest even $200,000. We decided to bootstrap everything from scratch,” said Drnda.
“Now, the same institutions that once ignored us are offering tens of millions to acquire us. That’s the power of staying true to your mission.”
Today, HyroTrader operates profitably and independently, already valued in the hundreds of millions and on track toward becoming the first decentralized billion-dollar prop trading ecosystem.
Beyond Money: The Power of Purpose
Despite the life-changing offers, Drnda’s decision to remain independent was rooted in conviction, not calculation.
“I come from a middle-class family — the offers I received would have changed my life,” he said.
“But I’ve already achieved more than I ever dreamed of. At this stage, it’s not about money; it’s about building something meaningful with people I believe in and creating real impact for traders worldwide.”
After the refusal, Drnda earned even greater respect from the HyroTrader team, partners, and trading community, strengthening the company’s culture of purpose-driven innovation.
“Many founders dream of an exit. I dream of evolution — of building a decentralized, transparent, and trader-owned future.”
The Next Phase: Hyro Protocol
With Hyro Protocol, Drnda and his team are developing the foundation for the next generation of decentralized prop trading firms.
Built on Solana, the protocol will connect multiple trading exchanges into one unified infrastructure, allowing traders, investors, and liquidity providers to interact seamlessly and verifiably on-chain.
“Our mission is to democratize access to trading capital, remove intermediaries, and empower traders globally,” said Drnda.
“Hyro Protocol isn’t just another product — it’s the infrastructure that will power the decentralized trading economy.”
About HyroTrader
HyroTrader is one of the fastest-growing and most recognized crypto prop trading firms in the world, empowering more than 30,000 traders with performance-based funding and transparent trading conditions.
Featured multiple times as the “Best Crypto Prop Firm,” HyroTrader is now building Hyro Protocol — the first decentralized, non-custodial, multi-exchange trading infrastructure on Solana.
Founded by Samuel Drnda in 2020, HyroTrader’s mission is to democratize access to trading capital and build the foundation for the next generation of decentralized prop trading firms.
