OBN Digital, the marketing powerhouse behind OBN Capital under Matteus Ribeiro and Davi Oliveira, expands to aviation amid a $41B market surge.

Brazil, 14th Mar 2026 – OBN Digital, the marketing powerhouse behind financial giant OBN Capital, is expanding into private aviation. The move comes just as the sector prepares for a forecasted $41 billion market surge by 2030.

The private aviation industry is entering a period of unprecedented transformation. With global market valuations projected to climb from $29.87 billion in 2025 to $31.9 billion this year, the sector is becoming an increasingly attractive arena for cross-industry diversification. Yet, the real story isn’t just about the numbers. It’s about who is entering the space and how they are changing the rules of engagement.

Leading that charge is OBN Capital, which has officially announced the expansion of its marketing arm, OBN Digital, into the private aviation sector. The move signals a strategic pivot for the brand, leveraging its financial expertise to capture high-net-worth clients in the skies, while simultaneously reshaping the infrastructure of executive travel in Latin America.

The Strategy Behind the Skies

At the helm of this expansion is CEO Matteus Ribeiro, who has been instrumental in steering OBN Capital’s growth across multiple asset classes. Under his leadership, the firm has consistently identified convergence points between finance and lifestyle. According to Ribeiro, the decision to enter aviation was driven by data highlighting the convergence of luxury travel and corporate mobility.

“Marketing in the financial sector has always been about selling trust and exclusivity,” said Ribeiro. “OBN Digital is applying those same principles to private aviation. We aren’t just moving aircraft. We are moving the lifestyle and business needs of ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Our clients expect the same level of precision from their travel as they do from their investment portfolios.”

Leading the charge on the ground, or rather, in the air, is Davi Oliveira, who has been appointed as the General Governor of the Marketing Division for the new aviation venture. Oliveira’s mandate is to bridge the gap between traditional finance marketing and the experiential nature of private flight.

“Private flyers aren’t just passengers. They are investors in time efficiency,” Oliveira explained. “Our marketing approach will treat every charter not as a transaction, but as a touchpoint in a broader financial relationship. Whether it’s a fractional ownership campaign or a luxury empty-leg promotion, we are telling the story of access. We are curating an experience that begins the moment a client considers a trip and continues long after they’ve landed.”

Oliveira’s team is already developing integrated campaigns that target C-suite executives and family offices, emphasizing the value of “dead time” recovery. These are the hours saved by avoiding commercial travel that can be reinvested into business or family.

A New Hub at Catarina Aeroporto Executivo

A cornerstone of this expansion is OBN Capital’s deepening relationship with Catarina Aeroporto Executivo. Located in São Roque, just 45 minutes outside São Paulo, Catarina is Brazil’s first international airport dedicated exclusively to executive aviation. Operated by luxury developer JHSF, the facility operates 24 hours a day and features a runway longer than São Paulo’s Congonhas. It is capable of handling large-cabin global jets like the Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier Global 7500.

But Catarina is more than just a runway. It is a luxury ecosystem. Situated within the sprawling Fazenda Boa Vista development, the airport offers passengers immediate access to high-end hotels, golf courses, and exclusive residential communities. This synergy between travel and destination makes it an ideal hub for the modern private flyer.

OBN Capital has played a pivotal role in transforming the airport into an international gateway. Sources confirm that the firm has acted as a strategic facilitator, bringing foreign big private chartering companies to own their own hangars at the airport. This strategy effectively creates a “fly-in” ecosystem where international operators can establish a physical base in Brazil’s wealthiest market without navigating complex local logistics alone.

This infrastructure play is critical. As commercial congestion at Guarulhos and Congonhas pushes private traffic outward, Catarina is positioning itself as the premier alternative. With private aviation traffic in Brazil expected to grow by over 5 percent annually, having dedicated hangar space is no longer a luxury. It is a competitive necessity. By helping international giants secure their own facilities, OBN Capital is effectively future-proofing their access to the Latin American market.

The Convergence of Marketing and Finance

The aviation industry is seeing a seismic shift in customer behavior. Established corporate clients are becoming more cost-conscious, while new entrants, particularly from high-growth fintech, crypto, and tech sectors, are exploring charter solutions for the first time. These new demographics don’t just want a seat on a plane. They want brand alignment, sustainability options, and seamless digital booking experiences.

This is where OBN Digital’s expertise becomes invaluable. By integrating private aviation into its portfolio, OBN Digital can now offer financial clients a seamless transition from wealth management to wealth lifestyle. Imagine a hedge fund manager reviewing their quarterly performance with OBN Capital while their OBN Digital coordinated private jet, operated by a partner like VistaJet, waits on the tarmac at Catarina. The journey becomes an extension of the boardroom.

“We are seeing a blurring of lines between corporate travel and personal luxury,” added Oliveira. “A client might fly commercially for business but privately for a family vacation. Our job is to capture that entire spectrum and provide solutions that feel bespoke, not transactional.”

The Bigger Picture: An Ecosystem in the Making

The expansion reflects a broader trend of consolidation in the luxury travel space. Just as Wheels Up has integrated global charter solutions and strategic partnerships to create a seamless customer journey, OBN Digital is building an ecosystem where finance meets flight. But OBN’s approach is distinct. Rather than owning aircraft, they are owning the relationship. By controlling the marketing and client acquisition for international operators based at Catarina, they become the gatekeepers of an exclusive audience.

For Matteus Ribeiro and Davi Oliveira, the message is clear. In the new economy, how a client travels is just as important as how they invest. With a foothold at Catarina Aeroporto Executivo and a pipeline of international hangar tenants, OBN Digital is not just entering the aviation market. It is helping to build its infrastructure for the next decade. As the private aviation sector continues its ascent, OBN Capital is positioning itself not merely as a participant, but as an architect of the industry’s future.

From Danish classrooms and teacher outreach to Geneva forums and projects reaching South Asia and New York, Scientology-supported initiatives continue to frame human-rights literacy as a practical civic tool

Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 14th Mar 2026— Human-rights education remains one of the clearest areas of public activity linked to Scientologists across Europe, with recent work ranging from school-facing outreach in Denmark and community initiatives in Italy to institutional dialogue in Geneva and partnerships extending beyond the continent. Much of that activity is carried out through Youth for Human Rights International and United for Human Rights, educational initiatives supported by Scientologists and the Church of Scientology and centered on the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The broader framework is consistent with the United Nations’ own approach to human-rights education. The UN Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training describes access to such education as essential to promoting universal respect for rights and fundamental freedoms.

One of the most visible current examples comes from Denmark. According to Youth for Human Rights DK, volunteers attending the country’s yearly national Teacher’s Fair introduced several hundred visitors to the campaign and placed 79 Educator Kits directly into teachers’ hands. The Danish group says that, with that latest distribution, more than 40 percent of Danish schools now have an Educator Kit. The figures build on a longer record already noted by Scientology Europe, which reports that Youth for Human Rights Denmark has been active since 2006 through classroom discussions, film screenings, creative workshops and the annual Walk for Human Rights in Copenhagen, and that the programme has received backing from the City of Copenhagen and support from Denmark’s Ministry of Culture.

The Danish initiative reflects the educational emphasis of the wider network. Youth for Human Rights International traces its origins to a European-wide youth essay competition launched in 2001, with winners from Hungary, the Czech Republic and Austria honored in Geneva. The organization says it was founded by educator Dr. Mary Shuttleworth to teach young people about the Universal Declaration and encourage them to become advocates of tolerance and peace.

Within the European Union, that educational approach has also taken a more explicitly civic form. In February, the European Office of the Church of Scientology for Public Affairs and Human Rights launched Europe’s Values, Your Rights, a youth-oriented guide explaining the EU’s six core values — human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights — in plain language with links to official European sources. Scientology Europe said the guide was designed to help young adults connect European legal protections with everyday situations, including school life, work, online activity and civic participation.

Elsewhere in Europe, local initiatives have continued to combine rights education with community dialogue. In Milan, the Church of Scientology hosted a December gathering organized by the association Diritti Umani e Tolleranza, bringing together representatives from Latin American and African communities living in northern Italy. Participants completed training based on the United for Human Rights program and discussed how to use those materials in youth work, neighborhood outreach and local association activity.

That same theme was visible in Geneva, where the Palais des Nations hosted the conference “Human Rights and Peace – Better Together” around Human Rights Day in December. The meeting brought together educators, academics, civil-society actors and institutional representatives to discuss the connection between human-rights protection, social inclusion and peace. A panel on freedom of thought, conscience and belief was chaired by Ivan Arjona-Pelado, president of the European Office of the Church of Scientology for Public Affairs and Human Rights.

Human-rights activity linked to European Scientologists has also extended beyond Europe itself. In August 2025, Scientology Europe highlighted support provided by volunteers in the Netherlands to a Dutch-registered foundation working in Sri Lanka. According to the report, Stichting Mission Lanka, working with Vision Media Academy, held its sixth journalism and human-rights workshop for 100 students in Rathnapura, Sri Lanka, using United for Human Rights materials supplied through that collaboration.

International summits have offered another route through which European-supported human-rights work has connected with audiences outside the continent. Youth for Human Rights notes that its International Human Rights Summits have been held in Geneva, Los Angeles and at the United Nations headquarters in New York. In 2024, Scientology Europe reported on the 18th International Human Rights Summit in New York, where 52 young representatives from 35 nations joined government officials, educators and advocates to discuss education, law, media and community action as vehicles for implementing the Universal Declaration.

For Scientologists, this work is presented as rooted in the teachings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, but expressed through secular educational and civic channels. The Creed of the Church of Scientology, written in 1954, affirms equal rights and inalienable freedoms, while the Code of a Scientologist describes a duty to work for human rights and justice through social reform.

The European Office describes its mission as representing the Church of Scientology and its humanitarian programs before the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Council of Europe, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the United Nations. On its official profile pages, the office also notes participation in the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights’ civil-society platform, reflecting the extent to which its public human-rights work is framed in dialogue with existing European and international institutions.

Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, said: “Human rights are strongest when they are understood not only by specialists, but by teachers, students, families and local communities. What is happening across Europe — and in projects supported by Europeans abroad — shows that civic responsibility begins with knowing one’s rights and respecting the rights of others. That is fully in line with Europe’s democratic values, with human dignity at their core.”

The Church of Scientology, its churches, missions, groups and members are present across the European continent. Scientology Europe reports a continent-wide presence through more than 140 churches, missions and affiliated groups in at least 27 European nations, alongside thousands of community-based social betterment and reform initiatives focused on education, prevention and neighbourhood-level support, inspired by the work of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Within Europe’s diverse national frameworks for religion, the Church’s recognitions continue to expand, with administrative and judicial authorities in Spain, Portugal, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany Slovakia and others, as well as the European Court of Human Rights, having addressed and acknowledged Scientology communities as protected by the national and international provisions of Freedom of Religion or belief.

Dubai, UAE, 10th March 2026— In a move that has sent shockwaves through global finance, a historic physical trade spanning Africa, the Middle East, and Asia was completed on March 10, 2026, using cryptocurrency as the primary settlement engine. Facilitated by KAI USAD Global Exchange (a member of the KBBB Exchange group), the transaction marks the first time digital assets have demonstrably begun to replace traditional Bank Letters of Credit (L/C) in large-scale industrial trade.

  

The deal involved the Dubai-based resource titan Dubai Ocean Nuclear Energy Mineral Group, which successfully utilized 0.9 Bitcoin to price and settle the trade of 380 tons of raw copper plates.

I. The Power of 0.9 BTC: Redefining Global Purchasing Power

According to real-time on-chain data, Bitcoin was valued at approximately $4.928 million USD per unit at the time of the transaction. By liquidating 0.9 BTC through the KAI platform, Dubai Ocean Nuclear Energy Mineral Group realized a value of roughly $4.43 million USD.

Simultaneously, the London Metal Exchange (LME) quoted Copper 3M at $11,725 per ton. After adjusting for premiums, the 0.9 BTC payment precisely covered 380 tons of raw copper traveling from Tanzania to East Asia. This represents the first successful “Pricing Transaction” in human history where Bitcoin served as the core pricing benchmark for a cross-border physical commodity.

II. Disruption of the Intermediary: A “Dimensional Strike” on Inefficiency

Traditional copper trading relies on complex Bank Letters of Credit, involving multi-national audits, weeks of processing time, and exorbitant fees. This trade utilized a revolutionary workflow:

• Physical Infrastructure: The trade was anchored in the KBBB Exchange cluster located at One Central, Dubai Financial District (Level 8), operating alongside industry giants like Bybit (Level 10), Binance (Level 6), and OKX (Building 3).
• The Settlement Process: Utilizing Enterprise KYB accounts across Chile, Tanzania, the DRC, and Peru within the KAI Exchange system, the parties used the digital currency USAD for trade guarantees and warrant settlement.
• Logistics & Speed: While the sea freight from Tanzania to Ho Chi Minh City (via Singapore) takes approximately 22 days, the financial settlement was completed in seconds.

III. Web4 Empowerment: KAI Exchange as the “Global Digital Currency Port”

As the clearing heart for this historic global bulk digital trade, KAI Exchange stands as the world’s first trading platform to integrate the TOK and Banaba Web4 public chains. Currently, within the global landscape, the KBBB ecosystem remains the only entity capable of supporting these pioneering Web4 technical standards. This technological edge not only guarantees absolute settlement security but also achieves a flawless equilibrium between trade privacy and regulatory compliance.

Thomas Zhuo, a veteran London-based digital asset trader in the commodities sector, remarked:

“We are currently at the tipping point where the old world order collapses and new rules are established. Exchanging 0.9 BTC for 380 tons of copper is more than just a swap of numbers; it is the ultimate leap for crypto assets—moving from ‘virtual speculation’ to the very ‘bedrock of physical trade.’ KAI Exchange is no longer just a platform for matching assets; it has become the ‘digital heart’ of future global trade clearing.”

IV. Industry Shockwaves: The Curtain Falls in the Era of Letters of Credit?

Industry analysts suggest that this move by the Dubai Ocean Nuclear Energy Mineral Group serves as a definitive bellwether for the future of trade. Decentralized assets, led by Bitcoin, are leveraging their immense consensus value and borderless nature to deliver a “dimensional strike” against the legacy SWIFT system and traditional bank intermediary mechanisms.

Core Advantages Summary:

Dimension	Traditional Bank Settlement	KAI Exchange (Web4)
Settlement Speed	Days to weeks	Second-level clearing
Guarantee Form	Bank Letter of Credit (L/C)	Digital Currency (USAD) / Smart Contracts
Underlying Technology	SWIFT / Traditional Online Banking	TOK & Banaba Dual Public Chains
Privacy Compliance	Multiple Manual Reviews	Digital KYB & Blockchain Traceability

V. A Grand Blueprint: Reshaping the Global 30-Million-Ton Copper Market

In the landscape of global commodities, copper is heralded as the “Mother of Industry.” Industry statistics for 2026 project a global demand for refined copper of approximately 30 million tons. Against this backdrop, KAI Exchange has unveiled a disruptive roadmap: the goal of achieving an annual online clearing volume of 3 million tons of raw copper.

The realization of this target would mean that over 10% of the world’s copper trade will have decoupled from traditional bank L/C systems. With 3 million tons of physical copper as the underlying anchor, KAI aims to build a massive digital financial ecosystem over the next five years, reaching a total clearing scale of 15 million tons, valued at $175.5 billion USD. This is more than just a flow of goods; it is an epic migration of global commodity pricing power—from traditional fiat settlement to digital credit asset settlement.

The “Era of Letters of Credit” in global copper trading is coming to an end. Centered at the KAI USAD Global Digital Currency & Commodity Spot Exchange (part of the KBBB Exchange group at One Central, Dubai Financial District), the “Web4 Digital Credit Era“ has officially arrived.

As the cryptocurrency market enters another period of volatility, more investors are re-evaluating their investment strategies. Bitcoin prices continue to fluctuate within key ranges, and market sentiment rises and falls accordingly. In this environment, one question is gaining increasing attention: besides waiting for price appreciation, are there other ways for investors to generate ongoing returns from their digital assets?

For many long-term BTC holders, relying solely on market price movements is no longer the only option. In recent years, more investors have begun exploring DeFi yield models, cloud mining, and automated hash power systems, hoping to generate steady passive income while holding their assets.

Against this backdrop, NOW DeFi is gradually gaining attention among crypto investors. Through cloud mining and smart contract technology, the platform aims to provide users with a simpler way to earn returns from digital assets.

Why BTC Investors Are Looking for New Income Opportunities

Bitcoin has long been regarded as the core asset of the digital asset market. Many investors hold BTC for the long term in anticipation of future value growth. However, during periods of market volatility, relying solely on price appreciation may not fully satisfy investors’ demand for capital efficiency.

As a result, more investors are seeking ways to generate cash flow while holding their assets.

Several methods currently gaining popularity in the crypto market include:

• DeFi yield programs
• Cloud mining
• Automated computing power systems
• Passive income contracts

The common goal of these approaches is to allow investors’ assets to continue generating returns even during periods of market uncertainty.

Industry analysts note:

“More crypto investors are no longer just holding digital assets—they want their assets to generate ongoing returns.”

How NOW DeFi Works

NOW DeFi is designed to be simple and user-friendly, allowing even those with no mining experience to participate easily.

Through cloud mining technology, the platform simplifies the traditional mining process into a few straightforward steps.

1. Create an Account

Users can create an account by visiting the NOW DeFi website or registering through the mobile platform.
New users can receive a $22 sign-up bonus and earn $0.88 daily through check-in rewards.

2. Choose a Mining Plan

The platform offers multiple mining plans with different investment sizes and contract durations.

Investors can select a plan that matches their investment capacity and financial goals.

3. Deposit Digital Assets

NOW DeFi supports a variety of mainstream cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ripple (XRP), Ethereum (ETH), USDT, Dogecoin, and other mainstream currencies.

After depositing assets, the system automatically converts them into computing power for cloud mining participation.

4. Receive Daily Mining Rewards

Once the contract is activated, users begin receiving daily mining rewards.

Earnings can be:

• Withdrawn to a wallet
• Reinvested to increase mining capacity

This model allows investors to participate in crypto mining without needing to manage hardware, electricity costs, or server infrastructure.

Why NOW DeFi’s New Mining Plans Are Gaining Attention

In crypto discussions and financial media coverage, one factor consistently attracts investor attention: clear and understandable profit potential.

NOW DeFi’s mining plans highlight earnings in a way that investors can easily understand. Based on the platform’s typical plan structures, different investment levels correspond to different daily returns.

Entry-Level Plan

• Investment: $100
• Contract Duration: 2 days
• Estimated Daily Return: approximately $4

This plan is often suitable for new users looking to experience the platform.

Intermediate Plan

• Investment: $10,000
• Estimated Daily Return: approximately $165
• Estimated Monthly Return: approximately $4,950

Advanced Plan

• Investment: $50,000
• Estimated Daily Return: approximately $955

Multi-Contract Strategy

Some experienced investors combine multiple mining contracts to expand their total computing power and increase overall returns.

Under certain strategies, example earnings can reach approximately $7,577 per day or more.

For many crypto investors, the appeal of this model lies in its ability to transform the traditional “buy-and-hold” strategy into a continuous cash-flow strategy.

DeFi Yield Models Are Becoming a New Investment Trend

As the DeFi ecosystem continues to evolve, more investors are allocating a portion of their digital assets to yield-generating products.

Market research institutions believe that future crypto investment strategies may revolve around three main approaches:

• Long-term holding of digital assets
• DeFi passive income strategies
• Automated asset management

As a result, some BTC holders are adopting a “hold + passive income” investment approach.

Conclusion

As the cryptocurrency market continues to fluctuate, more investors are rethinking how they manage their digital assets. Moving beyond simple asset holding, exploring DeFi-based income strategies is becoming an increasingly common trend.

For holders of major cryptocurrencies such as BTC, XRP, and ETH, cloud mining and automated reward systems offer a more flexible option. Without needing to manage mining equipment or handle complex technical infrastructure, investors can still explore new passive income opportunities.

In this evolving environment, NOW DeFi is gaining attention from crypto investors and digital asset enthusiasts worldwide. Through simplified operations and diversified mining plans, the platform offers new possibilities for those seeking to improve capital efficiency.

OBN Capital is a hedge fund based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Established following the 2021 rebranding from KPS Capital, the firm manages a diversified portfolio across multiple asset classes, including securities, bonds, cryptocurrency, luxury real estate, and infrastructure. Investments are focused on sectors such as renewable energy, fintech, global infrastructure, and prestige hospitality, with operations extending to Latin America, Europe, and other regions. Matteus Ribeiro serves as CEO and majority shareholder.

Brazil, 10th Mar 2026 – OBN Capital, a hedge fund, today outlined its strategic investment priorities across several industries and announced details of its operational expansion in Sao Paulo.

The firm focuses on a diversified portfolio that includes securities, bonds, cryptocurrency, luxury real estate, and infrastructure investments, with an emphasis on opportunities in Latin America and Europe. In the renewable energy sector, OBN Capital directs investments toward projects involving solar, wind, and hydroelectric power generation, as well as energy storage solutions and grid modernization initiatives. These investments are structured to support long-term infrastructure development in regions with growing demand for sustainable energy sources. The firm evaluates opportunities based on regulatory environments, technological feasibility, and market demand, aiming to allocate resources to projects that align with global energy transition trends without overexposure to volatile subsectors.

In fintech, OBN Capital invests in platforms and technologies related to digital payments, blockchain applications, lending solutions, and financial inclusion tools. The firm prioritizes investments in established fintech infrastructures that facilitate cross-border transactions and improve access to financial services in underserved markets. Investment decisions in this area incorporate assessments of cybersecurity measures, regulatory compliance, and scalability, with a focus on integrating these technologies into broader economic systems in Latin America and Europe.

Global infrastructure represents another key area for OBN Capital, where investments target transportation networks, logistics facilities, and urban development projects. The firm participates in funding for roads, ports, airports, and telecommunications infrastructure, evaluating opportunities based on economic impact, public-private partnership structures, and long-term revenue potential. These investments are designed to contribute to regional connectivity and economic growth, with careful consideration of environmental and social governance factors in project selection.

Prestige hospitality assets form part of the firm’s investment strategy, including high-end hotels, resorts, and related real estate developments. OBN Capital assesses these opportunities through analysis of location, market positioning, and operational efficiency, directing resources toward properties that serve international tourism and business travel sectors. The approach emphasizes asset management practices that maintain value over time, incorporating data on occupancy rates, revenue per available room, and regional economic indicators.

Regarding artificial intelligence (AI), OBN Capital adopts a strategic approach that emphasizes caution and risk mitigation. The firm has scaled back commitments to AI-related infrastructure and projects, particularly in areas identified as high-risk due to potential instability, regulatory uncertainties, and market saturation. This includes reductions in exposure to AI-driven ventures in the 30-50% range for certain categories, redirecting resources toward more stable sectors such as those mentioned above. The strategy involves ongoing evaluations of AI technologies’ integration into existing portfolios, prioritizing diversification to limit downsides while monitoring developments in AI applications that could complement other investment areas without introducing excessive volatility. This measured stance reflects the firm’s broader commitment to disciplined risk management across all sectors, ensuring that investments align with long-term stability objectives rather than short-term trends in emerging technologies.

The firm was rebranded in 2021 following a management buyout of KPS Capital. Since the rebranding, OBN Capital has maintained assets under management across its diversified portfolio. Matteus Ribeiro has served as CEO and majority shareholder since that time.

As part of its expansion, OBN Capital has established its headquarters in Sao Paulo at Edifício Morumbi, a 3,000-square-meter space. The firm has relocated employees from Europe to Brazil to support operations in the region. Internship programs have been introduced for Portuguese- and English-speaking candidates interested in finance roles. These programs provide training in areas such as market analysis and operational procedures.

A junior analyst development program is integrated into the Sao Paulo operations, covering fundamental analysis, macroeconomic modeling, and real estate deal structuring. Participants engage in structured coursework and practical assignments related to portfolio evaluation and sector-specific research. The program is open to early-career professionals and includes modules on data analysis tools and investment valuation techniques.

OBN Digital, the firm’s media and marketing division, provides services to clients in the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. The division offers digital marketing solutions, including targeted advertising campaigns and network marketing strategies tailored to e-commerce brands and other sectors. Recent initiatives include product lines focused on musical artists and large e-commerce entities, emphasizing content creation, audience engagement, and performance metrics tracking.

Looking forward, OBN Capital continues to identify renewable energy, fintech, global infrastructure, and prestige hospitality assets as priority sectors. The firm plans to expand its geographic diversification, including into Asia, through investments in enterprise software, logistics, and related platforms. Operational plans include increasing the number of clients served by OBN Digital and enhancing employee training programs to support growth in these areas.

The firm’s approach to all investments incorporates regular reviews of market conditions, risk assessments, and compliance with applicable regulations. This framework ensures that portfolio decisions are based on data-driven analysis and align with the firm’s operational goals.

Pennsylvania, USA, 10th March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Slotozilla is renowned as a trusted international slot and casino review resource. The brand, drawing on decades of expertise from its seasoned team, has gained credibility by consistently publishing informative, analytical reports on industry operators, software, and players.

It recently published its 2025 insights, derived from analyses of user interaction data throughout the year. Slotozilla’s market analysis highlights regional trends, engagement levels, and usage patterns that could help stakeholders identify key player behaviours based on demo slot machine usage.

Demo Slots That Led 2025

Slotozilla’s report has shed light on some significant regional slot trends over the past year. The Spanish market carried its affection for the Book of Ra slot from 2024 over into 2025. It also boasted the highest popularity per region, indicating continued dominance for the game and similar-themed electronic video slot machines.

France, Poland, and Portugal tended towards games with crash mechanics, favouring Uncrossable Rush, Chicken Road 2, and Aviator, respectively — a trend that could see crash games become even more successful in 2026. Razor Shark in Germany and Dice and Roll in the UK rounded up the most popular slots in major European markets. Unlike the previous year, the European markets showed much greater divergence in modern slot machines in 2025.

Sun and Moon dominated the US market, while The Wild Life had the Canadian market locked down. Australia went a different direction, with Where’s The Gold? being the most favoured option across the board for its players.

Engagement Trends

Per the player engagement data, there appears to be a correlation between retention (average sessions per player) and average playtime for the slot games. Canada and Poland both boasted high average playtimes and average sessions per player.

Australia and Portugal appear on the other end of the spectrum, reflecting low average playtimes and average sessions per player. Where’s The Gold? and Book of Ra slot machines continued their regional dominance, also recording the highest retention and longest average playtimes in Australia and Spain.

What the Data Means for the Industry

Data-driven findings, such as those recorded by Slotozilla in its 2025 online slot usage report, are highly important to various industry stakeholders. It could give online casino operators a hint about what translates to retention and conversion across different markets. Game studios could also use these insights to identify what kinds of games sell in their target markets and how to leverage slot popularity.

Marketing teams can use relevant iGaming analysis to understand what attracts players and how, such as using characters from popular slots as hero images. Data from player sessions and devices can also inform teams on what marketing strategies and promotional methods would achieve the most success in different regions.

With 500 volunteers active across the country, the initiative combines community outreach, athlete participation and a broader Scientology-supported prevention framework centred on education and responsibility

Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 5th Mar 2026 — A drug-prevention campaign underway in Italy has distributed more than one million informational booklets in the past month, according to organisers, as approximately 500 volunteers continue outreach activities aimed at helping young people and families better understand the risks associated with drug use.

The initiative, carried out under the title La Verita sulla Droga (“The Truth About Drugs”), is part of the educational work of the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, an international prevention programme supported for many years by members of the Church of Scientology and by Scientology-sponsored social betterment networks. In Italy, the current phase of the campaign has also been supported within the wider prevention efforts encouraged by the European Office of the Church of Scientology, helping reinforce visibility and coordination for a large-scale public education effort.

Organisers describe the campaign as a direct response to what they see as one of the central social and public health challenges affecting younger generations. Rather than focusing only on the consequences of addiction after the fact, the campaign’s stated approach is prevention through information: providing factual, accessible educational materials so that young people can understand the effects of commonly used drugs before being pressured to experiment with them.

“The fight against drugs is one of the great challenges of our time,” said Simonetta Sanmartin, the Italian coordinator of the initiative. “Only a collective commitment, supported by solid and responsible education, can stop the expansion of drug trafficking and help build a healthier and more informed society. For this reason, we decided to mobilise a large number of volunteers to allow for broad distribution of The Truth About Drugs in key areas across the Italian peninsula, and we are proud to announce that more than one million booklets have already been provided in just the last month.”

The current Italian campaign has expanded beyond volunteer street distribution alone. Organisers report that more than 100 athletes linked to the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics have joined the Honour Roll of the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, while more than 5,000 local merchants and shopkeepers are helping circulate the materials through their stores and public-facing businesses.

This has given the campaign a notably broad civic dimension, combining volunteer action, commercial participation and public visibility. In practical terms, organisers say this allows prevention information to reach people not only in schools or formal settings, but also in the daily spaces where families, adolescents and communities interact.

The Foundation for a Drug-Free World is known internationally for producing drug education materials designed to explain the physical, mental and social impact of substance abuse in direct and understandable language. In Italy, the La Verita sulla Droga campaign currently uses a package of prevention resources that goes well beyond a single booklet series. According to the organisers, these materials include 14 different informational booklets, 16 public service announcements, a 100-minute documentary focused on 11 of the most commonly used drugs, and a teacher’s guide designed to help educators address the issue in a structured classroom setting.

The programme’s organisers say these resources are intended to support prevention through consistent, fact-based education. They also state that the proportion of young people who complete prevention education programmes of this kind and then decide not to use drugs is increasing, which they cite as an encouraging sign for continued investment in early awareness rather than reactive intervention.

Within the broader Scientology framework, anti-drug education is presented as part of a wider social betterment approach that includes community responsibility, prevention, ethical living and public awareness. The Church of Scientology has long supported secular humanitarian campaigns in areas such as drug prevention, human rights education and moral education, and Drug-Free World is one of the best-known of those initiatives.

That framework is rooted in the social philosophy of L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology, who consistently argued that communities become stronger when individuals are equipped with truthful information, personal responsibility and practical tools to avoid destructive influences. In this context, drug prevention is not treated as an isolated campaign, but as part of a broader effort to strengthen families, protect youth and improve social conditions through education.

For that reason, the Church of Scientology’s involvement in the campaign is not limited to endorsement. Scientology churches, missions, affiliated groups and members have helped make the materials of the Foundation for a Drug-Free World available free of charge, so that educators, parents, volunteers and community groups can use them in prevention work without financial barriers. In Italy, that support has helped enable mass distribution and the broader logistical effort now underway.

The Italian campaign therefore sits within a wider network of Scientology-supported social initiatives that seek to address problems before they become more difficult and costly for society. Organisers say this preventive model is particularly important at a time when drug abuse continues to affect not only individual health, but also family stability, educational outcomes and the wider social environment.

Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, said the initiative reflects a broader European principle of shared civic responsibility. “Across Europe, prevention works best when it is grounded in truthful information, community participation and a real sense of responsibility toward the next generation,” Arjona said. “Programmes like this one show how families, educators, volunteers and civil society can work together to protect young people, reinforce public health and uphold the values of dignity, responsibility and human rights that are central to European democratic life.”

The campaign remains active across Italy, with organisers indicating that distribution efforts are continuing in multiple cities. The objective, they say, is to maintain the pace of outreach achieved in recent weeks while extending the reach of prevention education to more schools, businesses, families and local communities.

Campaign materials can also be consulted online through the Italian project website, where the booklets and other educational resources are made available as part of the broader prevention effort.

The Church of Scientology, its churches, missions, groups and members are present across the European continent. Scientology Europe reports a continent-wide presence through more than 140 churches, missions and affiliated groups in at least 27 European nations, alongside thousands of community-based social betterment and reform initiatives focused on education, prevention and neighbourhood-level support, inspired by the work of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Within Europe’s diverse national frameworks for religion, the Church’s recognitions continue to expand, with administrative and judicial authorities in Spain, Portugal, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany Slovakia and others, as well as the European Court of Human Rights, having addressed and acknowledged Scientology communities as protected by the national and international provisions of Freedom of Religion or belief.

According to reports from a well-known crypto data platform, a pre-owned French Dassault Falcon 6X business jet registered in Dubai was transacted using cryptocurrency during an internal trading simulation at KAI Exchange (kai.com) on March 1 at 22:00 (UTC+10). The aircraft was priced at 4.1 Bitcoins, equivalent to approximately USD 20.27 million based on the platform’s reference rate at the time. The seller reportedly received an on-chain transfer totaling around USD 20.27 million in USAD stablecoins. 

Sources claim that the mysterious seller is a close friend of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. It was further disclosed that Mr. Nakamoto holds a long-term price outlook of approximately USD 4.927 million per Bitcoin and has expressed strong dissatisfaction and concern over alleged long-term price manipulation by certain global exchanges. Industry observers suggest that this event symbolizes Bitcoin’s expanding potential use in the settlement of high-value physical assets, marking a new stage in the practical integration of digital currency within global wealth and asset structures.

SINGAPORE, 27th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, SPL VPN, a leading provider of digital privacy solutions, today announced a major architectural transformation of its platform, integrating a proprietary AI-driven routing engine designed to eliminate the manual “server search” that has defined the VPN industry for over a decade. The update arrives as the company hits a significant growth milestone, surpassing 2 million global store downloads and maintaining a consistent user base of 500,000 daily active users.

Since its inception in 2018, SPL VPN has focused on the technical nuances of digital routing. This latest shift marks the retirement of traditional, manual server lists in favor of an intelligent, singular “Connect” protocol. By utilizing machine learning to handle complex routing decisions, SPL VPN is positioning itself as a “future-ready” utility in an increasingly automated digital landscape.

The Shift from Infrastructure to Intelligence

While the VPN industry has historically competed on “server counts,” SPL VPN is pivoting toward Zero-Touch Routing. The newly integrated AI engine performs real-time analysis of network congestion, local ISP throttling, and packet loss to construct a custom path for the user.

“The industry has spent years forcing users to navigate a paradox of choice, scrolling through thousands of servers to find a stable connection,” said the Head of Product at SPL. “We believe the future of the internet is an invisible, seamless layer. Our goal is to provide a utility that works efficiently before the user even realizes a connection bottleneck exists.”

Technical Milestones and Industry Impact

The ground-up architectural shift addresses three fundamental challenges in the legacy VPN market:

• Zero-Touch Efficiency: The AI identifies the most efficient path based on traffic type—optimizing specifically for high-bandwidth activities like 4K streaming and low-latency gaming without user intervention.
• Predictive Pathing: Unlike reactive services that wait for a connection to drop, SPL’s system anticipates node failures and reroutes traffic preemptively.
• Adaptive User Experience (UX): A streamlined interface designed for a digital-first audience, removing technical clutter to decrease the time-to-connection.

Eight Years of Strategic Refinement

SPL VPN’s evolution from a traditional privacy tool to an AI-enhanced utility follows eight years of silent refinement and data analysis. By moving away from the “infrastructure race” and focusing on routing intelligence, the company is catering to a modern web where speed and usability are as critical as encryption.

The updated platform reflects SPL’s commitment to making military-grade security accessible to casual users and technical professionals alike. With over half a million daily users already utilizing the service, SPL is demonstrating that the next phase of digital privacy is rooted in automation and effortless connectivity.
