Motiwala cultivates an untapped digital gold market in Southeast Asia

Published

on

Ever since the outbreak of Covid-19, investors worldwide have turned to transfer part of their assets into gold investment to avoid market uncertainties and take advantage of gold’s reliable store of value. Investors have always cited gold as a safe haven when market uncertainties intensify, and the events in 2020 further confirmed the established correlation between gold and market risk levels.

Since January 2020, the gold price has zipped up 25% by the end of the year, even hitting a record high of over $2,000 per ounce at one point for the first time in history.

Along with the growth of demand for gold-related investments, supply grows too. A Dubai-based precious metal supplier known as Motiwala caught sight of the growth in demand and is determined to make use of this opportunity to become a world leader in the precious metal industry.

How Motiwala accumulated sand grain into mountain

Motiwala Jewellers LLC is a certified precious metal refinery, gold processor, bullion manufacturer, and precious metal supplier based in Dubai. Renowned for its complete and diversified rare metal business network, Motiwala Jewellers is one of the top 5 gold merchants globally and one of the largest refineries in the Middle East region.

But Rome wasn’t built in a day. It takes a lot of passion and hard work to build such a spectacular precious metal empire. Its founder, Iqbal Bhai from Pakistan, founded Motiwala 40 years ago and has been in the gold industry since then. He started as a gold and jewellery wholesaler in his home country and later found success when he filed a patent for the international gold market fair in Dubai after discovering its undeveloped gold market.

Through several decades of development, Motiwala Jewellers established subsidiary companies to further diversify the range of services it provides and as an effort to complete its supply chain. It is now the holding company of Motiwala Gold Trading, Motiwala Gold & Precious Stone Industry, Motiwala Gold & Metal Laboratory, Shaheen Exchange.

Since then, the company’s businesses have expanded to cover gold mining, processing, jewellery design, jewellery retail stores, physical gold trading, gold and metal laboratories, precious stones & diamond retail stores, and currency exchange.

With its refinery and an ISO 17025 certified in-house laboratory, Motiwala can produce gold bullion at the finest quality and allow investors to purchase gold bars ranging from 1 gram to 100 grams in size at a competitive price in its physical stores, thus allowing all investors to start investing in gold regardless of their capital size.

Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven

The gold market in Asia, Southeast Asia in particular, are underdeveloped, but experts are confident that Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven in the near future as Southeast Asia has one of the fastest rates of digital payment adoption and more than 400 million internet users. The strong tech foundations were laid by the appealing regulatory landscape and strong government support that has escalated the growth of innovation and healthy competition in this region.

In response to the year-long pandemic crisis, part of the gold and jewellery retailers in Asia are moving their retail businesses onto the internet to reach online consumers and combat the highly contagious virus simultaneously. With robust governance and regulations, digital gold has been gaining much traction in the Southeast Asia market.

Tapping into Southeast Asia’s growing digital gold landscape

Envisioned to become the world leader for dealers and traders from across the globe and to achieve sustainable quality growth, Motiwala co-founded Moti Investment Capital (MIC) in 2018 to expand its global presence in the capital trading sector. The establishment of MIC will enable investors to achieve low-risk, sustainable returns using Motiwala’s unique set of the gold supply chain.

As the first step to globalize its operation, Motiwala has tapped into Southeast Asian countries, providing a wide array of services to the new countries, including asset management, physical gold trading and more. With Motiwala’s supply chain and diverse line of services, it will allow investors to purchase physical gold even if the investors are located outside of Dubai.

In 2018, member countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) had consumed 309 tonnes of gold, making Southeast Asia the third-largest market for gold in the world. With the combination of rapid digital adoption, the cultural importance of gold in the region, and low expansion costs, it makes Southeast Asia an ideal region as the first step in Motiwala’s globalization.

MOTIWALA announces partnership with BIS

Motiwala has recently announced its partnership with BIS to expand its global presence. BIS Holding is the first of its kind asset management firm to provide unique investment opportunities for investors, allowing clients to have the privilege to participate in the markets like a real corporate level liquidity provider.

“We are excited to partner with BIS,” said Iqbal Bhai, Founder of Motiwala group. “Through this strategic partnership, Motiwala and BIS can form a clear win-win relationship to provide more value to your existing customers. It would also bolster the long-term partnership between Motiwala and BIS as both firms continue to seek opportunities to achieve business expansion.”

Published

on

Gros-Islet, Saint Lucia, November 10th, 2026, FinanceWire

Veridian Ledger has introduced a multi-asset contract for difference (CFD) trading platform providing access to foreign exchange, global indices, commodities, shares and cryptocurrency markets through a single trading account. The company’s operating framework combines multi-market access with published pricing information, documented order execution procedures and transaction record-keeping.

Operating as Veridian Ledger LTD., the company is incorporated in Saint Lucia as an International Business Company. Its business model is based on execution-only CFD services, with clients able to access multiple asset classes through the company’s trading infrastructure.

Multi-Asset Trading Access

The platform covers five asset classes: foreign exchange, global equity indices, commodities, share CFDs and cryptocurrency CFDs. This structure provides access to different market categories through a single account, with available instruments and trading conditions governed by the company’s published product specifications and contractual terms.

The company’s trading offering is supported by web, desktop and mobile access, subject to the availability of the relevant platform interfaces.

Order Execution and Transaction Records

Veridian Ledger’s published Order Execution Policy outlines its procedures for handling and executing client orders. According to the policy, the company sources pricing from institutional liquidity providers and considers factors including price, costs, execution speed, likelihood of execution and order size when processing transactions.

Supported order types include market, limit and stop orders, subject to applicable execution conditions. The policy also addresses slippage, partial fills, order rejection and execution monitoring.

The company’s record-keeping framework includes timestamped information covering orders, executions and account balance adjustments. These records provide a documented history of account activity and form part of the company’s stated approach to transaction transparency.

Published Pricing and Account Policies

The company publishes information concerning spreads, swap rates and other applicable trading charges through its pricing and account documentation.

Its published policies also address leverage and margin requirements, client fund arrangements, negative balance protection and complaints handling.

Under its Client Funds Policy, Veridian Ledger states that client funds are held separately from the company’s operating capital through contractual arrangements. Its account policies also provide for contractual negative balance protection for eligible retail accounts, subject to the applicable terms.

Client Onboarding and Operational Procedures

Veridian Ledger maintains published procedures covering customer identification, anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing and sanctions screening.

Its onboarding framework includes identity and address verification, as well as source-of-funds checks where applicable. The company’s broader policy documentation also covers data protection, information retention, business continuity and internal complaints procedures.

These documents outline the operational requirements and contractual arrangements applicable to client relationships.

Corporate Structure and Legal Status

Veridian Ledger LTD. was incorporated in Saint Lucia on September 1, 2026, under the International Business Companies Act, Cap 12.14, with company number 2026-00666.

The company’s Articles of Association identify foreign exchange brokerage and CFD-related activities among its authorised business activities, subject to applicable legal restrictions.

Veridian Ledger also references an independent legal opinion issued by Sterling Legal Ltd. on September 1, 2026, concerning the legal basis for conducting its stated FX and CFD business under Saint Lucia law.

The company states that it operates outside a financial services licensing framework and is not supervised by a financial services regulator. Its client arrangements and stated protections are contractual and should not be interpreted as equivalent to statutory investor protection or regulatory compensation schemes.

Veridian Ledger operates an execution-only business model and does not provide investment advice or discretionary portfolio management.

CFDs are complex leveraged financial instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly. Prospective clients should carefully consider the risks involved, review the applicable contractual terms and determine whether these products are appropriate for their circumstances before engaging in CFD trading.

Press Release

Start A Prop Firm Debuts to Make Launching a Proprietary Trading Firm Faster, Simpler, and More Accessible

Published

on

Dover, Delaware, November 10th, 2026, FinanceWire

Start A Prop Firm (SAPF) has launched a platform designed to make that process faster and more cost-efficient. The platform brings technology providers and vendors together in one place, while giving prospective operators access to curated recommendations, community reviews, a vendor-matching quiz and free consultations.

Starting a prop firm involves more than choosing a trading model and opening the doors to traders. New operators have to find the right technology providers, set up payment systems, establish their business infrastructure and make decisions that can create significant costs before the firm generates any revenue.

The order in which those decisions are made can matter just as much. Signing up for services too early, choosing providers that don’t fit the firm’s model, or spending months preparing for launch can leave new operators carrying expenses before their business is ready.

The goal is to help entrepreneurs make better-informed decisions about what they need, when they need it and which providers fit their plans, while reducing unnecessary spending during the pre-launch stage.

A Central Place to Find Providers

Finding the providers needed to launch a prop firm can mean searching across different websites, industry communities and individual provider pages. SAPF brings those options together through a curated vendor directory covering the different services required to build and operate a prop firm.

The directory isn’t intended to be a list of every company in the industry. Providers are selected based on the SAPF team’s experience in the industry. Vendors can also apply to be considered for inclusion.

For new operators, the aim is to make the research process more manageable. Instead of starting from scratch and comparing providers across multiple sources, operators can use the directory to explore companies relevant to different parts of their planned business, from trading technology and CRM systems to payments, risk management and other operational services.

The platform also gives users a way to share their experiences through community reviews, adding another source of information when evaluating potential providers.

Helping New Operators Control Pre-Launch Costs

The cost of running a prop firm can start accumulating before the firm has its first customer. Technology providers may charge fixed monthly fees, meaning an operator can be paying for infrastructure and other services while still preparing for launch.

The longer that preparation takes, the longer those costs continue without revenue to offset them. A launch that takes several months can therefore leave a new firm carrying significant expenses before it’s able to generate revenue.

SAPF is designed to help reduce that period before launch. By helping operators identify the providers they need and understand when those services fit into the launch process, the platform aims to reduce unnecessary spending during setup.

This is also why the order of the launch process matters. An operator doesn’t necessarily need every service from the beginning, and choosing a provider before understanding the firm’s model can create costs that could have been avoided. SAPF helps operators make decisions tailored to their business needs rather than committing to services simply because they’re common in the industry.

Matching Operators With the Right Providers

Choosing a provider isn’t only about finding a company that offers a particular service. The right option can depend on the type of firm being built, the available budget and the experience the operator wants to create for prospective customers.

SAPF addresses this through a free quiz that asks prospective operators about their plans for the business. The quiz asks a few practical questions about the business the operator wants to build, including their budget, whether they plan to offer CFDs or futures, and what they want the experience to look like for their traders.

Those answers are compared with the data SAPF has on its providers. From there, the platform can narrow down the options and point the operator toward providers that fit what they are trying to build. A founder looking to launch a futures firm on a specific budget, for example, may need a very different set of providers from someone building a CFD firm.

For new operators, the process provides a starting point for narrowing down the many provider options involved in building a prop firm, while helping them avoid paying for solutions that may not fit their needs.

More Information Before Choosing

Choosing a provider is only one part of the decision. New operators also need to know who they can rely on for promotion, comparisons and other services that affect how their business reaches potential traders.

SAPF allows users to review and rank vendors, firm comparison sites, affiliates, and influencers, helping prospective partners share experiences and evaluate relationships through community ratings.

That can be useful in an industry where affiliates and influencers can have a direct impact on customer acquisition. A large audience doesn’t necessarily tell a new operator whether a particular partner will deliver ideal results.

By putting these reviews alongside the vendor directory, SAPF gives operators more information to consider before committing their budget to a provider.

Free Consultations and the 30-Day Launch Goal

SAPF offers free consultations and access to its vendor-match quiz. The company earns through referral agreements with its partners rather than charging operators for services. 

The broader goal is to help new operators work through setup in the right order and avoid unnecessary delays and expenses. SAPF aims to help operators launch within 30 days, rather than the months it can take without a clear plan.

Conclusion 

Launching a prop firm doesn’t have to involve months of research or unnecessary expenses. Start A Prop Firm brings trusted providers, community reviews, and expert guidance into one platform, helping operators make informed decisions, avoid premature costs, and streamline their launch.

About Start A Prop Firm

Start A Prop Firm simplifies launching and operating a firm by connecting entrepreneurs with curated technology providers, infrastructure solutions, and service partners. Through its vendor directory, personalized matching, community reviews, and free consultations, the platform helps operators make informed decisions, reduce costs, and accelerate their path to market.

Zhariff Zabidi Releases Calibration Intelligence: The Intelligence of Knowing What the Moment Requires

Published

on

Engineer and energy-finance professional presents calibration intelligence as the missing link between understanding a situation and choosing the response it requires

Plano, Texas, United States, 10th Nov 2026 – Zhariff Zabidi, a petroleum engineer and author, has released “Calibration Intelligence: The Intelligence of Knowing What the Moment Requires.” The book proposes calibration intelligence as a “missing intelligence” alongside cognitive intelligence (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ): the judgment to recognize which response a situation requires, how strongly to apply it and when to change course.

In Zhariff’s framework, cognitive ability supports analysis and problem-solving, while emotional intelligence supports understanding and managing emotions. Calibration intelligence addresses how those abilities are applied in context. A person may understand a problem and recognize the emotions involved, yet still struggle to decide whether to act, wait, persist or reconsider.

“We’re taught to work harder and think smarter, but how do we know when to change our approach?” said Zhariff. “I wrote this book to help readers recognize when a strength has stopped serving them, and to decide what the moment actually calls for.”

The framework draws on Zhariff’s work in petroleum engineering and energy finance, where forecasts depend on assumptions that must be reassessed as evidence changes. A temporary decline in a well’s production does not necessarily justify rewriting its long-term forecast; a financial projection is only as useful as its assumptions about performance and risk. The book brings that attention to context, patterns and changing conditions into everyday decisions.

Yin and Yang provide a practical way to consider complementary responses. Yang emphasizes action, assertion and forward movement; Yin emphasizes receptivity, reflection and restraint. The appropriate balance changes with the situation. A stalled project may require a decisive next step, while a tense conversation may require listening before responding.

Through personal stories and practical frameworks, the book helps readers:

  • Recognize when persistence, patience or confidence starts working against them.
  • Distinguish a temporary setback from a recurring pattern that needs attention.
  • Choose when to act, listen, set a boundary or change direction.

“Discipline and flexibility, ambition and contentment, confidence and humility are all strengths,” Zhariff said. “The skill is knowing which one the moment requires.”

Published October 22, 2026, “Calibration Intelligence” is the first book in the Calibration Intelligence Series and is available on Amazon in hardcover, paperback and Kindle editions. Learn more at zhariffzabidi.com.
