Backed by its principal shareholder and Chairperson, Shehab Gargash, Daman is positioning itself at the forefront of the Web3 revolution through a newly defined investment thesis. The firm has identified four key verticals for focused investment across the decentralized ecosystem:

Daman will prioritize investments in Web3 consumer applications that deliver real-world utility.

3. Web3 Loyalty Infrastructure

Leveraging the Group’s footprint in consumer banking, hospitality, and mobility, Daman is keen to invest in Web3 startups building next-generation loyalty solutions across MENA. These platforms are expected to redefine customer engagement through token-based rewards and interoperable loyalty programs.

4. AI-Powered Web3 Ventures

Daman also announced a strong investment interest in the convergence of AI and Web3. The firm has made its first move by backing A47, a UAE-based decentralized news network powered by AI agents, aiming to disrupt how news is created, distributed, and monetized.

To further its vision in this space, Daman Investments has appointed globally recognized Web3 strategist and venture investor Momin Saqib as their Web3 Advisor, with an initial focus on the global success of #A47. Under his guidance, Daman plans to explore deeper engagement with emerging web3 technology and founders shaping the decentralized future.

“We believe Web3 will play a foundational role in the future of finance, media, consumer tech, and infrastructure,” said Ahmed Khizer Khan, CEO of Daman Investments. “Through calculated investments and strategic partnerships, we aim to empower disruptive startups that align with our vision for a more open, decentralized, and AI-integrated digital economy.”

Bitcoin surged to an all-time high above $112,000 this week, buoyed by a wave of reawakened whale wallets and increasing institutional flows. The renewed on-chain activity is reviving bullish sentiment, and some forecasts suggest BTC could hit $150,000 by year-end.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency climbed more than 18% since the start of 2025, pushing its market capitalization to $2.21 trillion. As of mid-July, BTC was trading near $111,100 amid elevated daily volumes of approximately $59.4 billion.

A series of high-value transactions by dormant holders has added fuel to the current rally. On-chain data reveals that a long-inactive wallet moved 17,283 BTC valued at roughly $1.88 billion within a single 24-hour window. 

Source: OnchainLens

Last week, two Satoshi-era wallets transferred a combined 20,000 BTC for the first time in 14 years, stoking market speculation over long-term holder behavior. 

Further inflows came from the Royal Government of Bhutan, which sent over 350 BTC (around $38.5 million) to Binance in the past 10 days. The transactions highlight the growing involvement of sovereign entities in Bitcoin’s capital flows and may suggest strategic liquidity operations or asset diversification.

Technical Picture Signals More Upside: The Road to $150,000

Despite the sharp price appreciation, technical indicators suggest the rally still has legs. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 63.62, a level that indicates strength without crossing into overbought territory. The MACD has printed a bullish crossover at 172.51, typically viewed as a buy signal, while the 10-day simple moving average remains above the 100-day—a classic indication of short-term momentum.

Still, some caution is warranted in the near term. The stochastic oscillator has risen to 86.46, a reading often associated with interim consolidation. Analysts flag resistance levels at $117,498 and $127,279 as potential inflection points. Failure to breach these levels decisively could trigger profit-taking.

Sentiment among institutional investors continues to improve, helped by accommodative macro conditions, steady ETF inflows, and concerns over traditional fiat debasement. Analysts at cryptona.co see $150,000 as a realistic price target for Bitcoin in the coming months provided that $117K is broken with volume support.

Key tailwinds include expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, further sovereign adoption, and rising demand for digital assets in inflation-hedging portfolios.

Bottom Line

Bitcoin’s breakout above $112,000 reflects both deepening institutional engagement and a pivotal shift in long-term holder behavior. While short-term corrections remain likely, technical and fundamental structures align toward further appreciation. The $150,000 target may no longer be speculative, as it’s increasingly becoming the market’s base case.

Singapore, 11th July 2025, WOM Protocol was early to SocialFi. Back in 2020, when few believed in decentralized word-of-mouth marketing, WOM began building the infrastructure to make it real. While many “to-earn” models collapsed over time, WOM persisted – improving its protocol, growing its ecosystem and proving that authentic recommendations can scale. Today, WOM is taking its most significant step yet: launching the Testnet of its own EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, unlocking a new phase of growth.

The Perfect Timing in a New SocialFi and InfoFi Landscape

In 2025, SocialFi and InfoFi have evolved rapidly, with projects like Kaito AI and Cookie DAO showcasing new models for decentralized content and community engagement. But in an age of AI-generated information, content validation and authenticity ratings are becoming inevitable. The reputation of creators – and the credibility of what they share – will be the most valuable assets in marketing.

This is why WOM’s timing is critical. While the protocol may have been ahead of the curve between 2020 and 2024, the team has demonstrated persistence, continuous improvement and has refined its unique content authentication model into a solution that can now be universally implemented across any type of content.

Since launch, WOM has surpassed 300,000 validated content pieces across platforms like the BULLZ app and the WOM Authenticator app and processes up to 200,000 daily transactions. These first applications will migrate their activity to the new WOM Layer 1 blockchain once Mainnet launches.

A $1 Million Grant Program and Strategic Growth Initiatives

To fuel ecosystem growth, WOM is introducing a grant pool worth up to $1 million in WOM Tokens over the next two years, supporting SocialFi builders, new platform integrations and community-led initiatives. This token unlock and a planned strategic token sale will help fund further development, onboard more projects and drive awareness through dedicated marketing and trading campaigns.

A High-Performance Blockchain Purpose-Built for SocialFi

The new WOM EVM Layer 1 blockchain is designed to meet the demands of decentralized applications, offering:

• Up to 10,000 transactions per second
• Transaction fees as low as $0.001
• Full EVM compatibility
• Smart contract automation to streamline rewards, validation, and governance

This combination enables a seamless experience for microtransactions, creator incentives and dynamic community engagement.

The Foundation for Authentic, Decentralized Communities

With the Testnet live, WOM will expand integrations, launch new SocialFi use cases and prepare for Mainnet launch in 2026.

In a landscape where SocialFi and InfoFi require dedicated infrastructure, WOM Protocol provides a high-performance home where communities can transact, collaborate and grow together. As the ecosystem evolves, WOM stands ready to be the foundation for authentic, decentralized economies built on trust and transparency.

This is a brand accelerator. NASDAQ’s global audience, investors, institutions, and innovators will witness MH Markets’ relentless drive to redefine trading excellence. It’s not just visibility; it’s validation of our mission to bridge markets with unmatched agility. A NASDAQ presence cements MH Markets’ position as a trusted partner for investors worldwide, amplifying its reach beyond regional markets.

A 2026 listing isn’t just a target; it’s a commitment to transparency and growth. The company is already assembling a world-class team to ensure its governance meets global standards.

Our path to NASDAQ reflects deliberate strategy, not fleeting trends. With a clear growth roadmap ensuring sustainable value, this journey embodies our regional ambition. “This isn’t about chasing a ticker symbol,” emphasizes Mr. Chokri. “It’s about proving that MENA-based financial innovators can compete and lead on the world stage.”

The NASDAQ debut will unlock new opportunities for clients and partners, including enhanced liquidity and diversified investment products, cutting-edge fintech integrations from AI-driven tools to blockchain-ready infrastructure, and strategic alliances with global institutions.

BANGALORE, India, July 9, 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Truflation, the leading blockchain-based inflation tracking platform, today announced the launch of its dramatically upgraded Inflation Calculator, featuring groundbreaking capabilities that transform how individuals understand and track their personal inflation experience. The enhanced calculator leverages Truflation’s robust infrastructure of over 8 million price points to deliver the most detailed and comprehensive personal inflation analysis available in the market.

Game-Changing Features Empower Individual Financial Decision-Making

The upgraded Inflation Calculator introduces three revolutionary capabilities that set a new standard for personal economic insights:

Historical Personal Inflation Tracking: Users can now access and analyze their personal inflation data over time, enabling them to identify spending patterns, track cost-of-living changes, and make informed financial projections based on their unique consumption habits.

Advanced Category-Based Insights: The calculator provides granular analysis across various inflation categories, allowing users to understand how different sectors—from food and housing to transportation and healthcare—specifically impact their personal financial situation.

Comprehensive Personal Inflation Reports: The platform now generates detailed, comprehensive reports that provide users with actionable insights into their personal inflation experience, complete with trend analysis, category breakdowns, and forward-looking projections.

“This upgrade represents a fundamental shift from generic inflation data to personalized economic intelligence,” said Oliver Rust, Head of Truflation. “For the first time, individuals can access the same level of detailed inflation analysis that was previously only available to large financial institutions. This democratization of economic data empowers people to make smarter financial decisions based on their actual spending patterns and inflation exposure.”

This systematic approach incorporates built-in guardrails to ensure that personal inflation calculations reflect actual market conditions rather than data anomalies.

Comprehensive Data Partnership Network Drives Precision

The upgraded calculator leverages partnerships with more than 10 data providers and aggregators, combining local and international data sources to avoid dependency on single datasets. Each partnership is tied to census-level data, ensuring comprehensive market coverage for accurate personal inflation calculations.

Transforming Personal Financial Planning

The enhanced Inflation Calculator serves individuals across all economic segments, from retail investors and savers to business owners and financial planners.

Truflation’s enhanced calculator positions itself as essential infrastructure for India’s expanding digital financial ecosystem. The platform’s integration with blockchain technology and partnership with Levitate Labs demonstrates its commitment to building transparent, accessible financial tools for India’s tech-savvy population.

Austin, Texas, 8th July 2025, In a sea of overstimulating preschool content, a new YouTube series is taking a different approach. Hey Bubba, created by parents and developed with input from child experts, aims to reset expectations for children’s programming. The show features muted colors, diverse characters, and age-appropriate lessons delivered through gentle rhymes—an intentional shift toward calm, purposeful storytelling that will resonate with today’s families.

Hey Bubba is already gaining popularity among families and early childhood educators. The show is the brainchild of Sheba Roy, a Forbes 30 Under 30, entrepreneur and mother, who was driven by the lack of thoughtful content available for her own young children. Instead of pursuing outside funding, Roy partnered with longtime friends Tharuni Nallagatla and Kirupa Gopalakrishna, both mothers themselves, to build the series from the ground up—prioritizing shared values and lived parenting experiences over commercial interests.

“We wanted to create something that parents could feel good about turning on,” says Roy. “Hey Bubba is more than just a show—it’s a mission to help raise future generations with purpose.”

Key Highlights of the Series:

• Short Episodes Designed for Busy Days
  Perfect for those in-between moments, each episode is just the right length to entertain without overextending screen time.
• Original Songs That Support Learning
  Thoughtfully crafted sing-alongs help strengthen memory, language development, and early communication skills.
• Calming Visuals for Young Viewers
  A muted color palette helps reduce sensory overload, offering a soothing and screen-friendly experience for young children.
• Simple Stories That Teach Positive Values
  Gentle, easy-to-follow storylines model kindness, empathy, and cooperation — reinforcing the values parents care about most.
• Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion
  A cast of culturally diverse characters introduces kids to different backgrounds and experiences, encouraging openness and understanding from an early age.

Created in partnership with child psychologists and development experts, the series focuses on children’s long-term growth rather than short-term entertainment. Visually soft and grounded in social-emotional development, the show uses simple rhymes to convey everyday lessons in an engaging way. The visual design leans on a muted color palette and uncluttered scenes, promoting focus and reducing sensory overload—an increasingly relevant concern for many parents.

Hey Bubba’s focus on high-quality production enhances the show’s immersive and heartfelt tone. Available now on YouTube, Hey Bubba offers a fresh alternative to traditional kids’ content—one where real parenting, expert insight, and thoughtful storytelling come together to inspire the next generation.

Watch Hey Bubba now on YouTube and discover preschool programming with purpose.
