Motiwala cultivates an untapped digital gold market in Southeast Asia
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.”

Press Release
Golf Commentator Tancredi Marchiolo Turns His Attention to Medinah as the 2026 Presidents Cup Returns to a Renovated Course No. 3
- Italian-born writer on golf course architecture Tancredi Marchiolo launches a series of essays examining the restored Medinah layout, the Bendelow-to-Ogilvy lineage, and what the September team event reveals about classic design
Medinah, Illinois, Sep 10, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Golf writer and course architecture enthusiast Tancredi Marchiolo has announced a new series of essays timed to the 2026 Presidents Cup, which brings the biennial competition between the United States and the International Team to Medinah Country Club’s Course No. 3 from September 22 through 27. The series will look past the leaderboard to the ground itself, tracing how a 1920s Tom Bendelow design became one of the most heavily reworked championship courses in America, and what its latest transformation says about the direction of modern golf architecture.
Medinah’s Course No. 3 arrives at the Presidents Cup fresh from a full-scale redesign by OCM, the Australian firm co-founded by International Team captain Geoff Ogilvy. The project rerouted the closing holes, removed thousands of trees, widened fairways, enlarged greens, and introduced broad expanses of fescue in place of the dense parkland corridors that defined the course during its three U.S. Opens, two PGA Championships, and the 2012 Ryder Cup. For Tancredi Marchiolo, that shift is the story of the week.
“Medinah is a fascinating case because it has never stopped being rebuilt,” said Tancredi Marchiolo. “Bendelow laid it out across rolling Illinois farmland, and for a century afterward committees kept adding trees, narrowing corridors, and asking the course to play harder. What OCM has done is turn the clock back toward the original idea of width, angles, and options. Whether that produces better match play is exactly the question I want to sit with over four days.”
The essays will examine several threads that run through the writer’s broader work on the game. The first considers the tension between a course built to punish and a course built to reward thinking, a distinction Tancredi Marchiolo has long argued in favor of the Scottish links tradition. The second explores tree removal as the defining restoration movement of the past two decades and asks what is gained and lost when a parkland course is opened to the sky. A third piece looks at the peculiar relationship between architects and captains, given that Ogilvy will lead the International side across holes his own firm reshaped. Later entries will draw comparisons between Medinah and the courses on the writer’s own list of essential walks, including Muirfield, Royal Dornoch, and Circolo Golf Villa d’Este above Lake Como in his native Italy.
Tancredi Marchiolo came to golf later than to his other lifelong pursuits, taking up the game in his thirties and finding in it the same qualities he values in opera and wine: patience, attention to setting, and a refusal to be hurried. He plays for the walk as much as for the score and prefers courses laid out across natural terrain to engineered modern designs. His writing on golf leans reflective rather than technical, with a particular focus on the history of the game and the architects who shaped it.
“The Presidents Cup will be decided by putts and pairings, and I follow that with real interest,” Tancredi Marchiolo added. “But the part of the week that will still matter in twenty years is the course. If Medinah proves that a great old parkland layout can be restored rather than simply toughened, it will influence how a lot of clubs think about their own ground. That is worth writing about carefully.”
The series will be published on TancrediMarchiolo.com, with the first essay appearing ahead of the opening four-ball session on Thursday, September 24, and further installments following each day of competition. Additional writing on golf, opera, and wine is available across the author’s personal platforms.
About Tancredi Marchiolo
Tancredi Marchiolo is an Italian-born writer and devoted student of three classical pursuits: opera, wine, and golf. His writing on golf focuses on course architecture, the walking game, and the landscapes that give the great courses their character, with the links of Scotland and the historic courses of Italy forming the backbone of his own record-keeping. Beyond the course, he writes on the Italian operatic canon and the bel canto repertoire, and on the wines of Piedmont and Tuscany, reflecting a broader interest in tradition, craftsmanship, and place.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Cardano users with assets remaining in SecondFi wallets are advised to migrate their funds to a new wallet they control and remain alert to phishing and recovery scams.
Following the June 2026 security incident involving SecondFi, users are being advised to understand the difference between asset migration and recovery before taking any action.
SecondFi reported that approximately 16.1 million ADA across 374 wallets was stolen during the security incident between June 21 and June 23, 2026. The company subsequently announced plans to wind down its wallet operations.
For users whose wallets still contain assets, SecondFi’s current official migration process is intended to move remaining ADA, Cardano native tokens and NFTs to a new Cardano wallet controlled by the user.
How the SecondFi Migration Works
Users with remaining assets should:
- Create a new Cardano wallet with a trusted provider.
- Secure the new wallet and its recovery phrase.
- Copy the new wallet’s Cardano receiving address.
- Open the existing official SecondFi application.
- Select the wallet migration option.
- Enter and carefully verify the new wallet address.
- Review the migration transactions.
- Sign the transactions using the normal SecondFi authentication process.
- Confirm that the assets have arrived in the new wallet.
Users should never enter their SecondFi recovery phrase into the migration tool.
Migration and Recovery Are Different
Users whose wallets still contain assets should follow the migration process. Those whose assets were removed during the security incident are dealing with a recovery case, which is separate from ordinary migration.
SecondFi has advised affected users to retain their original wallet and application because they may be required during the recovery process.
Users should also avoid assuming that one migration covers multiple wallets. Each SecondFi wallet should be checked and handled separately.
What Happens to Staking?
The official migration process also addresses staking-related activity.
For a staked wallet, the process may include unstaking, withdrawing available staking rewards, deregistering the existing stake key and recovering the stake deposit before transferring the relevant assets to the new wallet.
Once the assets arrive in the new wallet, users who want to continue staking will need to configure staking again.
Migration can also affect Cardano governance. Because the existing stake key is deregistered, previous DRep delegation may no longer remain active. Users who participate in Cardano governance should review their settings after migration.
Cardano Wallets Users Can Consider
There is no single wallet that is best for every Cardano user. Depending on their needs, users may consider established options such as:
- Eternl
- Lace
- NuFi
- VESPR
- Typhon
- Daedalus
- Compatible hardware-wallet solutions
Regardless of the provider selected, the destination wallet should be created and controlled by the user.
Users should never accept a wallet address or recovery phrase from someone contacting them through Telegram, Discord, X, email or another messaging platform.
Hardware Wallet Users Should Take Extra Care
SecondFi’s current guidance distinguishes hardware-wallet users from standard software-wallet migration.
Hardware-wallet users should not use the normal in-app migration flow. Instead, they may access their existing hardware wallet through another compatible Cardano wallet interface.
This distinction is important because changing the wallet application used to access a hardware wallet is not necessarily the same as transferring assets to a completely new wallet.
SecondFi Migration Scam Warning
The shutdown of a cryptocurrency wallet can create opportunities for scammers posing as support agents or recovery specialists.
Users should be particularly cautious of websites, applications or individuals claiming to offer:
- SecondFi wallet migration
- SecondFi recovery
- Wallet verification
- Cardano recovery
- Asset recovery services
SecondFi has warned users about fake applications, browser extensions and phishing attempts connected to the migration process.
Users should never:
- Share their recovery phrase or private key.
- Send ADA to someone claiming to facilitate migration.
- Install migration software from an unsolicited link.
- Give remote access to their computer or phone.
- Allow another person to create their destination wallet.
- Trust unsolicited “support” messages.
- Believe claims of guaranteed recovery of stolen assets.
Verify Every Transaction Before Signing
Blockchain transactions generally cannot be reversed once signed and submitted.
Before approving a migration transaction, users should carefully verify the:
- Destination wallet address
- Network
- Asset amounts
- Transaction fees
- Wallet provider
After migration, users should independently confirm that their ADA, native tokens and NFTs have arrived. They can also use a reputable Cardano block explorer to verify the transaction on-chain.
Key Advice for SecondFi Users
The most important principle is simple: the destination wallet must be controlled by the user.
Users with remaining SecondFi assets should use the official migration process, create a new wallet themselves, protect the new recovery phrase and carefully verify every transaction before signing.
Users affected by the June 2026 security incident should follow the separate recovery process rather than treating an emptied wallet as a normal migration.
Above all, users should remember:
Never share your recovery phrase. Never send ADA to a stranger for “migration.” Never trust unsolicited support messages. And always verify the destination address before signing a transaction.
For official information and the latest migration guidance, users should rely on SecondFi’s official channels rather than third-party links or messages.

Firm represents the latest in the Mirando family’s 110-year tradition of design innovation
United States, 10th Sep 2026 – MIKEADV CORP, the Boston-based, award-winning Integrated Marketing Communications agency known for handcrafted logo design, web development, and search engine optimization (SEO) services, is celebrating its 20th year in business. The anniversary comes 110 years after agency founder Mike Miranda’s great-uncles, Felix and Mike Miranda known as Mirando came to the United States from Italy and started the Imperial Knife Company. In a tribute to his great-uncle, MIKEADV CORP’s Founder Mike Miranda was named after him, carrying not just his name, but it seems, his gift for design.
Like MIKEADV, Imperial Knife Co. was committed to design excellence. “My great-uncle, after whom I was named, was a master of design and manufacturing craft,” explained Mike. “This talent with design runs in the family, apparently, and has been my inspiration in all my client work. As design increasingly gets absorbed into AI-driven processes, I feel the need for true design work is all the more urgent.” Virtually every early-stage client concept at MIKEADV is drawn by hand. “We’re pencil and paper guys,” Mike added. “From my brain to the paper; that’s really the only way to design something that stands out. The digitization comes later. My great-uncle understood this well, and the success he enjoyed with Imperial Knife Company bears it out.”
Felix and Michael “Mike” Mirando came to the United States from Frosolone, Italy, a town in the Molise region with a long tradition of cutlery making. They settled in Providence, Rhode Island, where the city’s Jewelry District provided an ideal environment for skilled metalworking and small-scale manufacturing.
In 1916, the Mirando brothers established what became the Imperial Knife Company. Their boyhood friend and fellow Frosolone native, Domenic A. Fazzano, later joined them in the business. The company’s earliest work was closely connected to Providence’s jewelry trade. Imperial produced simple knife components, including metal “skeletons” that local jewelers could finish in gold or silver and turn into pocket-watch chain knives.
That market began to change during the 1920s as wristwatches increasingly replaced pocket watches. Imperial responded by expanding into the manufacture of complete pocketknives, developing the high-volume production methods that would eventually make the company one of the largest knife manufacturers in America.
The Great Depression presented another challenge—and an opportunity. Consumers had less money to spend, and manufacturers needed to produce useful goods at lower prices. Imperial became known for inexpensive stamped-metal construction and colorful plastic handle materials that allowed it to manufacture pocketknives efficiently and in large quantities. Felix Mirando was a named inventor on patents covering Imperial’s innovative knife-handle construction, including a 1939 patent involving plastic material applied to a metal knife-handle assembly.
The strategy helped Imperial grow dramatically. Rhode Island historical records indicate that the company employed approximately 1,000 workers by 1929. Its Providence operation eventually expanded to four buildings around Imperial Place, becoming a major presence in the city’s Jewelry District.
By the late 1930s, Imperial’s production had reached extraordinary levels. In a later interview, Mike Mirando recalled production of approximately 10,000 pocketknives per hour. By 1940, Imperial was the world’s largest producer of pocketknives, with historical accounts placing its production at as many as 100,000 knives per day.
Imperial’s story did not end with its early Providence factories. In 1957, the company acquired the former Rochambeau Worsted Company property at 60 King Street in Providence. The facility became an important part of Imperial’s later manufacturing operations, including the production of stainless-steel tableware. After the original Jewelry District operation closed in the 1970s, the King Street plant became Imperial’s principal production facility and remained in use until 1987.
Today, Imperial’s former Providence factories remain part of the city’s industrial heritage. The former Vesta Knitting Mills buildings associated with Imperial stand around Imperial Place and are recognized within Providence’s historic Jewelry District. GoProvidence, Providence’s official tourism organization, includes Imperial Place in its self-guided Jewelry District history tour, recognizing the company’s importance to the neighborhood and to Providence’s manufacturing history.
The story of Imperial Knife is ultimately a story of immigration, craftsmanship, innovation, and American mass production. Two brothers from Frosolone entered Providence’s jewelry-manufacturing world and built a company that grew from a small workshop making components for jewelers into a global-scale producer of affordable pocketknives. Imperial helped make the pocketknife an everyday American tool—and left a lasting mark on the industrial history of Providence, Rhode Island.
“Imperial Knife thrived even during the era of mass production,” Mike reflected. “They were able to do this because they were obsessed with craft. We’re going through a similar phase now with AI, which represents mass automated design. We respond with obsessive handcraft. It’s the same family instinct, playing out in a new century.”
