What’s the NFT game Tencent & Alibaba Rush into?

Published

on

In June 2021, Alibaba and Dunhuang Arts Institute jointly released two NFTs, Dunhuang Flying Sky and Nine Color Deer App skins, which were limited to 16,000 in the world. The works were looted as soon as they were released.

On June 26, 2021, NetEase and Nervina Labs released their first NFT work on Taobao.

On August 3, 2021, Chinese tech giant Tencent’s  NFTs trading platform -Huanhe launched 300 copies “Vinyl Record NFT” authorized by TV program “Thirteen Invitations”, and sold out instantly.

Chinese giants’ capital is vying to chase, and it’s so fierce. So far people can’t help asking, what is NFT?

Meet NFT

NFT is short for Non-fungible Token，which is relative to the concept of Fungible Token (FT), each NFT has a unique and only identification, which is not interchangeable, and the smallest unit is 1 and indivisible.

Generally, BTC, ETH, etc. we familiar with are Fungible Token. For example, BTC everyone owns is same, it’s interchangeable with each other, can also be divided into 0.1, or 0.01 without affecting the value and use.

NFT represents indivisible and non-interchangeable items in reality, such as a real estate certificate, a famous painting, a piece of game equipment and so on. They are all unique, and completely lose their value and practicality after being divided. The most typical are collectibles and artworks. These products with non-fungible genes are digitized and tokenized using blockchain technology, and they have become popular NFTs today.

NFT is one and only

Economics stipulates that currency is a unity equivalent and a carrier of consensus on value. In modern society, personal wealth is no longer measured by currency holdings, but includes the value and quantity of assets under his name. Its assets include but not limited to items with market value such as houses, cars, stocks, etc. In most case, the value carried by an asset often far exceeds the value of the cash value they hold. However, real assets have two major shortcomings: poor liquidity and high cost of confirmation. For example, the determination of the right of a house needs to rely on the registration of the Housing Management Committee to determine the ultimate ownership of the house.

But in the blockchain world, the assets we currently have are BTC, ETH with currency attributes. After meeting demand for monetary assets, a value medium of non-monetary assets will naturally emerge, and this is NFT. Relying on the decentralization, immutability and cryptographic authentication of the blockchain, NFT solves a series of problems of real assets:

• The asset is unique and cannot be faked

• Strong liquidity, real-time trading;

• Cryptography is the confirmation and cannot be tampered with.

In addition, NFT also has features that cryptocurrency does not have. Its unique features can be used for identity certification, item ownership certification, virtual props, etc. NFT makes crypto assets more practical, enabling users to expand the utilization of valuable assets in the form of NFT, and is protected by blockchain technology.

NFT Boom Out

NFT is not a new thing born this year, it has made any public appearances early in 2017, but more regarded as a niche thing within Ethereum.

So, what is the real important promoter of NFT out of the circle?

First, let’s ask a question: How much would a digital picture be? The answer is $69.3 million！

On March 11, 2021, an unknown artist Beeple collaged his daily art work for the past thirteen years into a digital picture called “everyday: the first 5000 days”. At Christie’s, it was sold for $69.3 million, which shocked the world.

Overnight, NFT became the outlet. This 40-year-old American painter also made great fortune overnight. The popularity of NFT has caused a huge sensation in many fields such as art, venture capital, and finance.

Commercial filed such as NBA, Samsung, McDonald’s, Marvel, movie stars, etc. are all releasing their own NFT products, and venture capital industry such as Three Arrows Capital, Signum Capital, NGC Ventures, Coinbase, etc. have begun to invest in this field. Internet giants such as Tencent, JD, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are all laying out the NFT battlefield. The opportunities and challenges brought by NFT are more than that brought by the mobile Internet to the Internet.

From the perspective of business history, iPhone, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. were initially used by industry insiders. After going out of the circle by marketing, products, and the trend of the times, the entire society began to accept them, and they evolved from product for a specific group into mass infrastructure. Although the development of NFT is still at an early stage, the boom out of NFT will continue the historical trajectory and accelerate the application of blockchain technology. It is of great significance for promoting the digitalization of society.

NFT Bright Future

Except crypto artworks, will NFT have wider applications? We can find that NFT will be widely used in the future. For example, the recent popular NFT+DeFi and NFT+game, as well as the concept of meta-universe, are inseparable from the future development of NFT. The physical application of NFT will solve many problems for the society, such as: 

First, intellectual property. NFT can represent a painting, a song, a patent, a film, a photo, or other intellectual property rights. NFT can help each unique thing to register the copyright and help it identify the patent.

Second, physical assets. Real estate such as houses and other physical assets are digitized through NFT. It can be used in financial markets such as the circulation of assets.

Third, records and identification. The unique features of NFT, can be used to verify identity and birth certificates, driver’s licenses, academic certificates, etc., to prevent abuse or tampering.

There will be many physical applications of NFT in the future, which will surely solve various practical problems for the society. Presumably this is the ultimate goal of various giant capitals. As the world’s first physical digital economy token trading platform-BtLux Exchange focuses on the implementation of blockchain scenarios that are closely related to people’s lives.

Different from other cryptocurrencies with no entity value support, BtLux regards the underlying innovation of the blockchain as an important breakthrough in the independent innovation of core technology, and takes the use of blockchain to trade, calculate, and record to promote real economic activities on the chain under supervision. At the same time, realize the market operation and value management of digital assets after the certification, redefine the interest distribution relationship of producers, consumers and participants, and form a brand new financial and business model.

Soon, BtLux will accelerate the integration of NFT and physical enterprises based on years of experience in the implementation of blockchain physical scenarios, provide top-level business architecture design and digital economic model design for physical enterprises, and jointly build “blockchain” + “new ecology”, So that participants in the entire chain can benefit. It would bring tangible benefits to the real economy and the entire society, and be widely recognized by the society, making digital currency a living water, flowing in the real economy, and bringing benefits to the real economy more vitality and new power.

NFT is a new world brought about by the technological explosion era, and the digitalization process of the real world in the next ten years will also be greatly accelerated. In the future, only when NFT accelerates the deep integration of the real economy and the digital economy, the technological value of the blockchain will gradually emerge in this process. It will be able to bring new business models and reconstruct distribution models, market structures, organizational forms, and industry relationships to promote human beings to a new era of digital civilization, and in that, BtLux will become an indispensable promoter.

How ProfitPilot AI Is Transforming Intelligent Investing The Vision of Global Capital Partners Investments LLC

Published

on

July 18, 2026

By

United States, 18th Jul 2026 – The financial industry is entering a new era driven by artificial intelligence, big data, and advanced analytics. Investors today face an overwhelming amount of market information, making it increasingly difficult to identify opportunities, manage risks, and make timely decisions. To address these challenges, Global Capital Partners Investments LLC (GCPI) is embracing innovation through ProfitPilot AI, an intelligent investment platform designed to help investors navigate modern financial markets with greater confidence and efficiency.

Under the guidance of financial market educator Howard Martin Smith, ProfitPilot AI represents a forward-looking approach to investment analysis, combining technology-driven insights with practical market understanding.

The Rise of AI in Financial Markets

Artificial intelligence has rapidly become one of the most influential technologies in the global financial sector. From institutional asset managers to individual investors, market participants are increasingly relying on AI-powered tools to analyze data, identify trends, and improve decision-making processes.

Unlike traditional analysis methods that often require significant time and manual effort, AI systems can process vast amounts of information in seconds. This capability allows investors to respond more effectively to changing market conditions and emerging opportunities.

As financial markets become more interconnected and data-driven, the demand for intelligent investment solutions continues to grow. ProfitPilot AI was developed to meet this demand by providing users with advanced analytical capabilities designed for today’s fast-paced investment environment.

What Is ProfitPilot AI?

ProfitPilot AI is an intelligent investment analysis platform developed to help investors better understand market dynamics and make more informed decisions.

The platform leverages advanced data-processing technologies to analyze market information from multiple sources.

Howard Martin Smith on the Future of Intelligent Investing

According to Howard Martin Smith, successful investing in the modern era requires both technological capability and human judgment.

While artificial intelligence can efficiently process information and identify patterns, long-term investment success still depends on strategic thinking, risk awareness, and disciplined decision-making. Rather than replacing investors, AI should function as a powerful support system that enhances analytical capabilities.

This philosophy forms the foundation of ProfitPilot AI. The platform is designed to assist investors by providing objective market analysis while allowing users to retain control over their investment decisions.

Howard Martin Smith has consistently emphasized the importance of investor education, believing that technology is most effective when combined with financial literacy and informed decision-making.

Why AI-Powered Investment Platforms Matter

Financial markets operate continuously, generating enormous amounts of information every day. Economic indicators, corporate earnings reports, geopolitical developments, and market sentiment can all influence asset prices.

For many investors, monitoring and interpreting this information can be challenging. AI-powered platforms help address this issue by automating data analysis and highlighting relevant market developments.

Benefits of intelligent investment platforms include:

  • Faster analysis of market information
  • Improved identification of trends and patterns
  • Enhanced risk monitoring
  • Greater efficiency in research processes
  • Better support for informed decision-making

As technology continues to advance, these capabilities are expected to become increasingly important for investors seeking to remain competitive in global financial markets.

The Future of AI and Investment Technology

The integration of artificial intelligence into investment management is still in its early stages. However, industry experts widely agree that AI will play a growing role in how investors analyze markets, manage portfolios, and evaluate opportunities.

Technologies such as machine learning, predictive analytics, and automated data processing are expected to reshape many aspects of financial decision-making over the coming years.

Global Capital Partners Investments LLC views this transformation as an opportunity to develop innovative tools that help investors adapt to an increasingly digital financial landscape. ProfitPilot AI reflects this commitment by providing a technology-driven approach to market analysis and investment support.

Conclusion

As financial markets become more complex and information-rich, investors require smarter tools to support effective decision-making. ProfitPilot AI, developed by Global Capital Partners Investments LLC and guided by Howard Martin Smith, represents an innovative step toward the future of intelligent investing.

By combining advanced analytics, AI-powered market insights, and a commitment to investor education, ProfitPilot AI aims to help investors better understand market conditions, identify opportunities, and manage risks in an ever-changing financial environment.

With the continued evolution of artificial intelligence and financial technology, platforms like ProfitPilot AI are expected to play an increasingly important role in shaping the next generation of investment strategies and market participation.

Where GCC’s Most Consequential Business Decisions Get Made

Published

  • AJMS Group and Marmin AI launch the CXO Boardroom Series in Dubai, a curated executive forum on AI, digital finance, and enterprise transformation, managed by Trescon and opening 22 July 2026

Dubai, U.A.E, Jul 18, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — AJMS Group, one of the region’s most established business advisory groups, and Marmin AI, its AI-powered compliance and finance technology entity and the first fully approved e-invoicing Accredited Service Provider (ASP) in the UAE, operating with 100% local data residency, have announced the launch of the CXO Boardroom Series, a curated invitation-only programme for senior executives across the UAE and GCC. Managed end-to-end by Trescon, a leading global business events company, the series inaugurates with a physical edition in Dubai on 22 July 2026, convening CFOs, CTOs, Finance Directors, and digital transformation leaders in a setting built for genuine executive exchange.

Marmin AI arrives at the series from a position few compliance technology providers in the region can claim. It is the first fully approved e-invoicing Accredited Service Provider (ASP) in the UAE and a certified PEPPOL Access Point, operating across six jurisdictions — the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, India, Singapore and Belgium — with 100% local data residency, all invoice data processed and hosted inside the country.

The launch of the CXO Boardroom Series follows AJMS Group’s recent announcement of a USD 20 million strategic investment in the UAE to accelerate the growth of Marmin AI, its AI-driven e-invoicing, compliance and financial intelligence platform. The investment reinforces the UAE’s role as the strategic hub for Marmin AI’s technology development, regulatory integration, and enterprise implementation, supporting AI-powered compliance and financial intelligence, UAE-centric enterprise e-invoicing infrastructure, open finance and SME enablement, and UAE-hosted secure cloud infrastructure. AJMS Group’s recognition under the UAE Ministry of Economy’s Future 100 programme further underlines the position both entities occupy in the country’s digital economy agenda.

That national orientation extends to Marmin AI’s work with the Federal Tax Authority. Marmin AI has partnered with the FTA under the Muwafaq and Mo’athar initiatives to deliver a customised e-invoicing package for small and medium enterprises, to be offered to more than 200,000+ SMEs across the UAE — the segment for which the transition to mandatory e-invoicing carries the greatest operational and cost burden, and for which readiness support matters most.

The platform is also built to carry a transaction beyond the invoice itself. Marmin AI is integrated with Dun & Bradstreet, giving clients counterparty diligence and verification at the point of onboarding, and payment rails are embedded directly into the platform, making e-payment options available to clients alongside the invoices they issue. Together with VAT reconciliation, bank reconciliation, and automated AML and UBO sanctions screening, this closes the loop the company describes as “compliance-to-cash” — from the moment an invoice is validated to the moment it is paid.

What separates the CXO Boardroom from conventional conference formats is deliberate restraint. Sessions are capped at 25 qualified executives, chosen through a BANT-based qualification process that ensures every seat in the room belongs to someone with both the authority and the mandate to act on what is discussed. There are no keynote crowds, no panel audiences. What exists instead is the kind of frank, peer-level conversation that most executives rarely get access to inside or outside their own organisations.

The agenda spans five pillars that reflect where GCC enterprises are navigating real complexity: UAE e-invoicing and tax digitisation, AI-driven finance transformation, cybersecurity and data governance, ERP and enterprise technology strategy, and RegTech. For the July edition, Marmin AI brings particular depth on the UAE’s mandatory e-invoicing rollout. As the first fully approved Accredited Service Provider (ASP) in the UAE and a certified PEPPOL Access Point, Marmin AI gives attendees direct access to the advisory intelligence they need to prepare, not just observe — at a point in the calendar where preparation time is finite: businesses in scope are expected to appoint an accredited service provider by 30 October 2026, ahead of the first mandatory phase of the UAE e-invoicing regime on 1 January 2027. Across 2026, the series will run four editions tailored to distinct executive audiences, covering DIFC and ADGM regulated institutions, UAE mainland corporates, a virtual GCC-wide boardroom, and a broader AI-focused edition developed in partnership with key ecosystem bodies.

“Real transformation does not happen in auditoriums. It happens when the right people sit in the same room, speak plainly about what is actually working and what is not, and leave with something they can use. The UAE is at a genuine inflection point across AI adoption, regulatory change, and digital finance. The CXO Boardroom was designed to meet that moment at the executive level, with the quality of insight and the intimacy of conversation that a larger format simply cannot deliver.”

Komal Jajoo, Co-Founder and Managing Director, AJMS Group

The boardroom format also serves a practical purpose that goes beyond dialogue. Participating organisations gain exposure to Marmin AI’s intelligent compliance platform — accredited e-invoicing and PEPPOL exchange, Dun & Bradstreet-backed counterparty diligence, VAT and bank reconciliation, automated AML and UBO sanctions screening, and embedded payment rails — without the friction of a sales engagement. The insight flows in both directions, and that reciprocity is built into the design of every session.

Attendance is by qualification and invitation only. Senior executives across banking, financial services, insurance, real estate, technology, and the public sector are encouraged to register their interest for the July 2026 Dubai edition at AJMS CXO Boardroom.

The platform additionally generates a projected, indicative ICV score from live invoice data, and — where a business separately and expressly opts in through a consent-based, business-initiated data layer governed independently of the ASP function — an invoice credit score. Marmin AI supports enterprises preparing for the UAE e-invoicing mandate as well as ZATCA Fatoorah in Saudi Arabia, MyInvois in Malaysia, and Fawtara in Oman.

Joe Shields Brings Software Design Thinking to Hospitality Through States of Leisure’s Experience-First Approach

Published

14 hours ago

on

July 18, 2026

By

San Francisco, California, Jul 18, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Hospitality is becoming as much about thoughtful systems as beautiful spaces. That shift is shaping how brands design every stage of the guest experience, from booking to checkout. For Joe Shields IV, founder of States of Leisure, the answer lies in an unlikely place, and that’s software design. Rather than approaching hospitality as a collection of attractive properties, Shields has built States of Leisure around the same principles that guide modern product development. Every guest interaction, from discovering a property online to checking out, is treated as part of one connected system designed to reduce friction and create clarity.

The philosophy reflects Shields’ professional background as a software designer and developer, where rapid prototyping, user feedback, and iterative improvement shape successful digital products. Those same methods now influence how States of Leisure develops its hospitality experiences. “People often think software and hospitality have very little in common,” said Shields. “In reality, both are about creating experiences that feel intuitive. Whether someone is navigating an app or arriving at a vacation home, they should never have to wonder what comes next. Good design removes uncertainty.”

Founded on the belief that hospitality extends far beyond interior design, States of Leisure integrates operational systems, communication, branding, and physical environments into a unified guest journey. Every detail is considered part of a larger experience architecture rather than an isolated feature. This systems-driven approach reflects a broader recognition that guest satisfaction depends as much on clear communication and well-designed operations as it does on attractive interiors.

Unlike traditional hospitality models that often separate marketing, operations, and guest services into independent functions, States of Leisure treats them as interconnected components. The company designs booking flows, messaging, and in-stay experiences to complement the physical environment, ensuring guests encounter consistency throughout every stage of their visit.

For Shields, this philosophy stems from years spent designing software products where usability determines success. His development process typically begins with simple prototypes that are tested early, allowing ideas to evolve through practical feedback instead of lengthy theoretical planning. The same mindset guides States of Leisure as it refines everything from guest communication to operational workflows.

The foundation for this perspective dates back to Shields’ art school education, where design was taught not as decoration but as structured problem-solving. That training continues to influence both his software career and his work in hospitality. Instead of asking how a space should look, Shields begins by asking how people will move through it, interact with it, and remember it.

That emphasis on intentional design has become a defining characteristic of States of Leisure. Each property is developed as part of a larger operating system, allowing the brand to maintain consistency while giving individual locations their own identity. The result is an approach that values precision over excess. Rather than overwhelming guests with unnecessary features, the company focuses on removing friction and creating environments that feel calm, organized, and easy to navigate.

Shields believes this type of structured thinking will continue to influence the future of hospitality as guest expectations evolve. “As technology becomes a bigger part of everyday life, people expect experiences to work effortlessly,” Shields said. “Hospitality shouldn’t be different. Behind every relaxing stay should be thoughtful systems that guests never have to think about.”

While Shields continues his full-time work in software design and development, States of Leisure serves as an extension of the same principles he applies to digital products: clarity, consistency, and continuous refinement. For the company, the goal is not simply to offer places to stay. It demonstrates how thoughtful systems and intentional design can transform hospitality into an experience that feels cohesive from beginning to end.

About Joe Shields IV

Joe Shields IV is a software designer and developer whose work spans product design, prototyping, and full-cycle software development. He is the founder of States of Leisure, where he applies software design principles to hospitality, creating guest experiences that combine intentional design with operational precision.

About States of Leisure

By treating every guest interaction as part of a connected experience, the company creates hospitality environments that prioritize clarity, consistency, and ease.
