DB Investing today announced the launch of MT5 AI Assistant Version 2.0, a major expansion of its proprietary artificial intelligence software, making the solution available to eligible traders using MetaTrader 5 with DB Investing or another compatible broker.
From a Broker-Exclusive Product To An Open MT5 AI Layer
Version 1.0 introduced a direct connection between MetaTrader 5 and leading AI platforms. Version 2.0 extends that concept beyond DB Investing accounts, positioning the MT5 AI Assistant as an open, broker-independent software layer for the wider MetaTrader 5 community. Traders can install the software on MT5 for Windows, connect a supported AI endpoint using their own API key, and interact with their trading account through a simplified AI-assisted workflow.
The release is designed for traders who already use AI for market research, account review, risk analysis, and trade planning but want those capabilities available inside their trading environment rather than through disconnected browser tabs, spreadsheets, or custom development tools.
Connect The AI Provider That The Trader Prefers
Users can connect to supported services, such as OpenAI models via ChatGPT-compatible APIs, Anthropic Claude, Perplexity, or other compatible AI endpoints. The software is designed to avoid locking traders into a single AI provider or model. The user supplies and controls the relevant API credentials, subject to the terms, availability, and pricing of the selected third-party AI provider.
Once connected, the assistant can combine a trader's prompt with authorised MT5 account information, including balance, equity, margin, open positions, and current market prices. The selected AI provider can then return account observations, market analysis, risk considerations, trade ideas, and structured order instructions.
AI Assistance Without Surrendering Trading Control
MT5 AI Assistant Version 2.0 is built around human confirmation. The software does not promise trading performance and does not remove the trader's responsibility for decisions. AI-generated outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, delayed or unsuitable for the user's objectives. Every proposed trading action remains subject to review and explicit confirmation by the trader before execution.
Users can also apply operational safeguards, including a maximum permitted trade volume for AI-prepared instructions. MT5 login credentials are not intended to be shared with AI providers, and API keys are stored within the user's local MetaTrader 5 environment. Communications with supported AI endpoints are transmitted through secure HTTPS connections.
Simpler Onboarding and Broader Accessibility
Version 2.0 introduces enhanced user registration controls, including email and mobile verification through one-time PIN codes. The setup flow has been designed to reduce the technical barriers that have historically limited AI-assisted trading tools: install the software, attach it to MetaTrader 5, choose a compatible AI provider, enter the user's API key and begin interacting with the authorised account data.
“Version 1.0 proved that traders want AI closer to the point of decision. Version 2.0 takes the next strategic step: we are opening the software to the wider MT5 market, including traders who maintain their accounts with other brokers.”“Our objective is not to replace the trader. It is to give the trader a practical interface for bringing together account context, market information and the AI model they already prefer - while preserving review, limits and final human confirmation.” Gennaro Lanza, CEO of DB Investing
Designed For The Global MetaTrader 5 Broker Ecosystem
Subject to technical compatibility, local availability, and each broker's server configuration, Version 2.0 is intended for eligible traders using MetaTrader 5 accounts across the wider forex and CFD market. This may include MT5 users of widely searched broker brands such as Exness, IC Markets, Pepperstone, XM, HFM, FP Markets, Tickmill, Vantage, MultiBank Group, Eightcap, Axi, FxPro, FXTM, FBS, AvaTrade, Admirals, ThinkMarkets, BlackBull Markets, RoboForex, JustMarkets, BDSwiss, Orbex, Windsor Brokers, VT Markets, PU Prime, TMGM, Moneta Markets, GO Markets, Fusion Markets, One Royal and ActivTrades.
Availability
MT5 AI Assistant Version 2.0 is planned for MetaTrader 5 on Windows and will be available to eligible users who complete the required registration and verification process. Users need an active MT5 account with a technically compatible broker and an API key from at least one supported AI provider. Product access, features, and supported providers may vary by jurisdiction and release phase.

Cryptocurrency exchange Bitunix has launched the Bitunix Card, a Visa-powered payment solution that allows users to spend their funds on everyday purchases, and earn yield on idle balances.
The launch reflects a growing demand for practical crypto products that connect digital assets with everyday spending. Instead of moving funds between multiple platforms, Bitunix users can now manage payments, and earnings from one place.
The Bitunix Card can be used at more than 130 million merchants worldwide that accept Visa payments. Users can pay for everyday services and subscriptions such as Uber, ChatGPT, Amazon, Spotify, and Netflix, while also using the card when traveling internationally. Payments are completed instantly, allowing users to spend their crypto as easily as they would with any traditional payment card. The card offers up to 8% cashback on eligible spending, with rewards capped at 1,000 USDT monthly.
To support everyday payments across different regions, the Bitunix Card is compatible with major digital wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and Paypal, as well as selected regional payment platforms and local payment networks.
Available through the Bitunix web platform as well as its iOS and Android applications, the card is designed to give users more utility for their USDT beyond trading. Through a unified dashboard, users can manage card balances, transfer funds between accounts, track transactions, monitor cashback rewards, and control card settings in one place.
The card applies standard regional network processing fees, while eligible users may offset these costs through cashback rewards, depending on their VIP tier.
In addition, eligible balances held on the card can automatically earn yield, reaching up to 11.6% annually, depending on the asset and applicable conditions.
“The Bitunix Card goes far beyond payments. It unlocks a seamless, high-yield financial ecosystem built for everyday global commerce,” said Bitunix’s Chief Strategy Officer, Steven Gu.
The card comes with no issuance fee and no monthly maintenance fee. To activate the card, users are required to transfer a minimum balance of 100 USDT to their card account. The funds remain fully available for spending and do not represent an activation fee.
Users can apply for the Bitunix Card directly through the Bitunix platform. The card is offered to eligible Bitunix users who have completed the platform's identity verification process and reside in supported regions.
The launch is part of Bitunix's broader effort to make cryptocurrency more practical for everyday use. By combining spending and earning features in a single product, Bitunix gives users more ways to put their digital assets to use in everyday life.
For more information about the Bitunix Card and application details, users can visit the official Bitunix Card page.

Burnaby, Canada, July 16th, 2026, Chainwire
Magic Link social login, unified multi-chain asset management, NOXCAT Escrow, and $NOX staking are now available; the launch reward campaign has also started, allowing users to share a prize pool worth 10,000 USDT.
NOXCAT Wallet Beta has officially launched as the core user-facing gateway of the NOXCAT ecosystem. The wallet integrates Magic Link social login, multi-chain asset management, friend transfers, NOXCAT Escrow, $NOX swaps and staking, and referral features into one application, aiming to deliver a lower-barrier and more intuitive Web3 asset experience for everyday users.
NOXCAT Wallet allows users to log in with Google, Apple, or email without managing complex private keys or seed phrases, while still supporting wallet import and on-chain operations for advanced users. After login, each user receives a unique NOXCAT UID, which serves as their identity across account management, asset records, referral relationships, campaign rewards, and future ecosystem benefits.
On the security side, NOXCAT Wallet adopts an MPC-based architecture and integrates Claude Security to build a military-grade encrypted security mechanism. Users’ private keys are never stored in full on any single node, helping reduce single-point risk while supporting recovery through identity verification and key-share mechanisms. The wallet initially supports multiple EVM-compatible networks, with Solana, Bitcoin, TRON, and other multi-chain assets to be added in future updates.
NOXCAT Escrow: Replacing Middlemen With Smart Contracts
The core function of NOXCAT Wallet Beta is NOXCAT Escrow, a smart contract–based settlement mechanism designed to reduce reliance on traditional intermediaries in peer-to-peer transactions.
In a NOXCAT Escrow transaction, both parties first agree on the terms, after which the buyer’s funds are locked into a smart contract. During the lock-up period, neither party can unilaterally move the funds. Once the seller completes delivery and both parties confirm, the smart contract automatically releases the funds.
If a dispute arises, NOXCAT Escrow introduces an arbitration-node mechanism. The system randomly selects 15 validators to review the case, with final asset ownership determined through a 9-vote consensus. To improve arbitration-node credibility, NOXCAT Wallet will also introduce a dynamic credit rating mechanism based on validators’ on-chain records, historical participation, and dispute-resolution performance.
NOXCAT Escrow can support scenarios such as peer-to-peer asset exchanges, token and real-world asset transaction coordination, and hybrid settlement combining on-chain assets with off-chain delivery. By using smart contracts for fund escrow, condition confirmation, and settlement execution, NOXCAT Wallet aims to reduce counterparty risk and platform credit risk while making Web3 peer-to-peer asset flows more transparent and reliable.
Peer-to-Peer Encrypted Chat and Social Transfers
In addition to NOXCAT Escrow, NOXCAT Wallet introduces social relationships into the wallet experience, providing peer-to-peer encrypted chat and social transfer functions based on UID and friend relationships. Users can add friends through usernames, QR codes, or shared links, and directly communicate, transfer assets, or initiate escrow transaction requests within the app.
In traditional wallet transfers, users usually need to copy and paste long wallet addresses and repeatedly verify whether the address is correct. NOXCAT Wallet turns the transfer target from an “address” into a “contact.” Users only need to select a friend, choose an asset, and enter an amount to complete a transfer, while the system automatically handles recipient address information.
NOXCAT Escrow, peer-to-peer encrypted chat, and social transfers together form the core product differentiation of NOXCAT Wallet: users can find counterparties as easily as adding social contacts, complete transfers as naturally as sending messages, and rely on smart contracts to escrow funds and introduce dispute-resolution mechanisms for larger or more complex transactions.
$NOX Swaps, Staking, and Ecosystem Participation
After the beta launch, users can deposit USDT within the app and swap USDT into $NOX through the DApp swap function. NOXCAT Wallet brings deposit, swap, and staking processes into one application, reducing the complexity of switching between multiple platforms and allowing users to participate more directly in the NOXCAT ecosystem.
As NOXCAT Wallet continues to release new features, $NOX will serve as the ecosystem utility token within NOXCAT Wallet, supporting gas payments, ecosystem incentives, staking participation, and more product functions in the future.
Wallet Security Architecture
NOXCAT Wallet adopts an MPC-based architecture and combines it with Claude Security encryption mechanisms to create a higher-grade wallet security experience. Through this architecture, the user’s private key is never stored in full on any single node, including the NOXCAT platform itself, thereby reducing single-point leakage risk.
Through Magic Link social login, multi-chain asset management, NOXCAT Escrow, peer-to-peer encrypted chat, social transfers, and MPC wallet security architecture, NOXCAT Wallet aims to establish a new balance between usability and security.
Launch Reward Campaign Now Live
To celebrate the beta launch, NOXCAT Wallet has launched a reward campaign, allowing users to share a prize pool worth 10,000 USDT. New users who complete account registration, purchase and stake any amount of $NOX will receive a 5 $NOX new user reward. The system will automatically verify task completion and distribute the reward within 24 hours. Each NOXCAT Wallet UID can claim the reward once.
All registered users can obtain a unique referral code or QR code from the “Invite Friends” page. For every two new users successfully invited to register, the inviter will receive a 5 $NOX reward. Referral rewards will be calculated continuously until the current prize pool is fully distributed.
About NOXCAT
NOXCAT is a Web3 infrastructure project built for next-generation digital finance scenarios. Through NOXCAT Escrow, asset management, social transfers, and secure transaction capabilities, NOXCAT aims to lower the barrier to Web3 adoption and build a more trusted and user-friendly on-chain interaction experience.

London, United Kingdom, July 15th, 2026, Chainwire
CT3 today announced the transition of its decentralized storage infrastructure to a dedicated Storage Contracts model designed to support continued platform growth, improve infrastructure scalability, and expand storage capacity as demand increases.
The transition follows rapid growth across the CT3 ecosystem, with more than 180,000 unique users having used the platform and more than 500,000 uploads completed. Each upload is linked to an NFT access key, allowing platform activity and network usage to be independently verified on-chain.
Continued growth in demand for ct-3.cloud services has increased pressure on the existing infrastructure. Processing all new uploads through a single main collection and one smart contract may reduce scaling flexibility and make storage capacity more difficult to manage as network activity expands.
Under the new architecture, new uploads will be distributed across dedicated Storage Contracts rather than a single main contract. Each Storage Contract is linked to a fixed amount of storage capacity and operates as an independent infrastructure segment with its own capacity, utilization level, and on-chain statistics.
The new model is intended to distribute workloads across multiple smart contracts, improve the transparency and measurement of resource utilization, and support the deployment of additional storage capacity as demand grows. Participants may finance the deployment of new Storage Contracts and the addition of storage capacity. The allocated capacity is used to store files uploaded through ct-3.cloud, while the resulting profit is shared between CT3 and the participant who financed the infrastructure expansion.
Infrastructure Segmentation
Previously, CT3 keys were issued primarily through the main collection and a single contract flow. As the platform expanded, this model became less flexible for handling different categories of data.
Storage Contracts divide the infrastructure into separate segments. Each segment:
operates through its own smart contract;
is linked to a specific amount of storage capacity;
can serve a particular category of files;
allows capacity utilization and workload to be measured independently;
reduces pressure on the main NFT key issuance process.
This separation makes the infrastructure more resilient and allows individual areas of the platform to scale without rebuilding the entire system.
How the Allocated Storage Capacity is Used
Each Storage Contract is linked to a defined amount of capacity within the CT3 network. Once activated, the corresponding storage space is supplied by network nodes and used to store data uploaded through ct-3.cloud.
The allocated capacity may be used for:
standard user files;
corporate archives;
automatic backups;
long-term datasets;
future CT3 products and applications.
Larger contracts can accommodate heavier files and more substantial flows of corporate or backup data. This allows the network to direct workloads to infrastructure segments with sufficient available capacity.
Storage Contract Economics
The commercial model behind Storage Contracts is based on the real use of CT3 infrastructure. The platform acquires storage capacity from node operators and provides it to ct-3.cloud customers at the market price of the storage service.
A participant finances the deployment of a new Storage Contract and the expansion of the network’s available capacity. Once launched, this capacity is used to store personal and corporate data, while the generated profit is distributed between the investor and CT3.
The financial performance of each contract depends on two main factors:
the actual utilization of the allocated capacity;
the margin between the cost of acquiring storage capacity and the price charged to end users.
Storage Contracts therefore allow participants to take part in the growth of CT3 infrastructure and potentially earn income linked to real demand for storage services. The more actively the allocated capacity is used, the greater the contract’s potential result.
On-chain transparency
The operation of each Storage Contract can be verified through the blockchain. Files stored within the allocated capacity are represented by NFT keys containing storage-related metadata.
The combined size of the files associated with these keys can be compared with the utilization figure displayed for the contract. Through the smart contract address, an investor can verify issued NFTs, collection activity, and the actual use of the capacity they helped finance.
This model makes it possible to independently verify:
the number of keys created;
the volume of stored data;
utilization of the allocated capacity;
activity within a specific Storage Contract;
the relationship between infrastructure usage and profit generation.
For ct-3.cloud users, the experience remains unchanged: both existing and new NFT keys continue to be supported, and the transition to the new architecture requires no additional action.
About CT3
CT3 is developing a decentralized data storage infrastructure that combines independent nodes, the ct-3.cloud interface, NFT access keys, and blockchain verification.
Users upload files through ct-3.cloud, after which the data is distributed across network nodes. An NFT key is created for every stored object, confirming access rights and containing the relevant storage metadata.
Within this model, nodes provide physical storage capacity, CT3 manages data distribution and access, while individual and corporate users generate demand for storage services.
As the number of users and uploads increases, the network must continuously expand its available capacity. At certain times, demand growth may outpace the addition of new capacity from node operators. Storage Contracts allow CT3 to add new resources in a structured way and allocate them to specific areas of use.
