Germany, 23rd Jun 2026 – As artificial intelligence continues to move from research laboratories into everyday life, discussions surrounding digital literacy, technological awareness, and responsible AI adoption have become increasingly relevant across industries. From education and healthcare to finance and business operations, AI technologies are influencing how people work, learn, and make decisions.

Against this backdrop, the Operation HOPE Global Initiative (OHGI) is expanding its focus on digital education through HOPE AI, an initiative designed to support AI literacy and promote greater understanding of emerging technologies.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has created new opportunities for productivity, innovation, and economic development. At the same time, it has highlighted the growing need for accessible education that helps individuals understand how these technologies function and how they may impact society.

Many experts believe that digital literacy is becoming as important as traditional literacy in the modern economy. As AI-powered tools become more widely available, individuals and organizations are increasingly seeking practical knowledge that enables them to adapt to changing technological environments.

According to Professor Martin Eichenfels, technological progress delivers its greatest value when it is accompanied by education. He notes that while artificial intelligence offers significant potential, long-term success depends on ensuring that people have access to the knowledge and skills needed to engage with these technologies responsibly.

Through HOPE AI, OHGI seeks to contribute to this educational effort by encouraging greater awareness of artificial intelligence and its practical applications. The initiative focuses on supporting learning opportunities related to digital technologies while fostering discussions about responsible innovation, transparency, and the role of AI in modern society.

The initiative also reflects a broader global trend. Governments, educational institutions, and private-sector organizations around the world are investing in programs designed to improve digital skills and prepare individuals for technology-driven economies. As AI continues to evolve, educational programs that bridge the gap between innovation and public understanding are expected to play an increasingly important role.

Annika Rosenberg, advisor to OHGI, believes that access to technology education should extend beyond technical professionals. She emphasizes that individuals from diverse backgrounds can benefit from understanding how emerging technologies influence communication, business, employment, and everyday life. Expanding access to digital knowledge, she argues, is an important step toward broader participation in the digital economy.

In recent years, conversations surrounding artificial intelligence have increasingly focused on responsible development and ethical considerations. Questions regarding transparency, accountability, data governance, and human oversight continue to shape discussions among policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders. Educational initiatives that encourage informed engagement with these topics can help individuals better understand both the opportunities and challenges associated with AI adoption.

OHGI views digital literacy as a long-term investment in human development. By supporting educational outreach and knowledge-sharing initiatives, the organization aims to encourage greater confidence and understanding in an increasingly technology-driven world. The objective is not only to help people learn about artificial intelligence, but also to support critical thinking and informed decision-making as digital technologies become more integrated into daily life.

As artificial intelligence continues to transform global industries, initiatives such as HOPE AI demonstrate the growing importance of education in shaping how societies adapt to technological change. While innovation remains a driving force behind economic growth, many experts agree that education and awareness will be equally important in determining how successfully communities navigate the opportunities of the digital future.

Operation HOPE Global Initiative (OHGI) is dedicated to supporting education, digital literacy, and public awareness related to emerging technologies. Through collaborative initiatives and educational programs, the organization seeks to promote access to knowledge and encourage informed participation in the evolving digital economy.

Story of the Boy Who Would One Day Be Known as Zeami “The World Is Dancing” Premieres June 29 Unveils Official Final Trailer Featuring Ending Theme Song “Unnamed Flower” by hockrockb!Cuts from Episode 1, Additional Characters, and Additional Streaming Platforms Announced!

Tokyo, Japan, 23rd Jun 2026 – CyberAgent, Inc. is excited to announce the ending theme for the anime The World Is Dancing (co-produced by CyberAgent and Shochiku), alongside the release of official final trailer featuring the new ending theme song, “Unnamed Flower” by hockrockb.

It is a tale that might have unfolded when the boy who would one day create Noh—Zeami—was still known as Oniyasha, carrying his legacy across 600 years to the present.

The anime is produced by animation studio, Cypic (Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, The Summer Hikaru Died). The series is directed by Toshimasa Kuroyanagi, known for his work on the TV anime The Great Passage, the animated film Love Me, Love Me Not, and both the TV and theatrical versions of the Backflip!! series.

The World Is Dancing Episode 1 Title & Advance Cuts!

Act I: “Why do people dance?”

“Why do people dance?”

In 1374, amid the turmoil of the Northern and Southern Courts’ long running conflict, a boy named Oniyasha is born into a family of sarugaku theater performers.
Unable to find any existential meaning in dance, he spends his days in a kind of quiet gloom.
Then, one day, he witnesses Shirabyoshi dancing in a barn—a dance he feels to be “good” for the first time in his life.

INTRODUCTION:

One does not need dance to live.

In 1374, during the turbulent age when the Northern and Southern Courts were locked in conflict, the Northern Court’s shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, was becoming an increasingly dominant force.

Born the son of Kan’ami, head of the Kanze troupe of sarugaku performers, Oniyasha drifts through his days with a hazy question lodged in his heart: Why do people dance? His spirit remains clouded, until the day he encounters a dance that is truly “good.”

Curious, sensitive, and strikingly beautiful, the boy meets people, laughs, cries, confronts his own weaknesses, and slowly begins to shape a new form of dance for a world steeped in impermanence.

Kazuto Mihara’s groundbreaking Noh themed manga from Morning finally comes to life as an anime, filled with scenes that stir the heart and dynamic movement and chanting that can only be expressed through animation.

Directed by Toshimasa Kuroyanagi (The Great Passage, Backflip!!) and animated by Cypic (Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray, The Summer Hikaru Died), this series showcases top tier animation supported by a standout cast.

This is a story shaped by dance that may have unfolded when the boy who would one day create Noh—Zeami—was still known as Oniyasha, carried across 600 years to the present.

Zug, Switzerland, June 23rd, 2026, Chainwire

The Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority has granted Bitcoin Suisse (Europe) AG a license as a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) under MiCAR. The European entity of Bitcoin Suisse can now serve clients across selected EEA markets, with Roman Przibylla appointed CEO to lead the expansion.

After more than a decade as Switzerland’s crypto pioneer, the Bitcoin Suisse Group (“Bitcoin Suisse”) is expanding across Europe. Its European entity, Bitcoin Suisse (Europe) AG, founded in 2018, has been granted a license as a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) under MiCAR by the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority (FMA), building on its long-standing registration under the Token and TT Service Provider Act (TVTG).

Across Europe, Bitcoin Suisse operates with a clear ambition: to be the first choice for high-net-worth individuals, corporates and institutional investors. This ambition is built on more than a decade of operational experience, proven across multiple market cycles in which the company’s business model has consistently demonstrated its resilience.

Its core services of trading, custody and staking rest on two pillars that clearly differentiate Bitcoin Suisse in the market: a robust, proprietary infrastructure and a unique service philosophy that provides every client with a dedicated relationship manager.

As a result, clients benefit not only from institutional-grade technology and regulatory clarity, but also from personal attention, deep expertise and continuity in the relationship. In a market that is often complex, fast-moving and fragmented, Bitcoin Suisse offers clients a trusted partner that combines technical strength with human accessibility.

“We are very proud of this milestone. The MiCAR authorization marks a decisive step on our journey towards a global brand and eventually becoming a global wealth management platform. Together with our presence in Switzerland and Bermuda, we now have the regulatory foundation to serve clients across some of the world’s most important financial centers,” says Andrej Majcen, Co-Founder and Group CEO, Bitcoin Suisse.

Roman Przibylla Appointed to Lead European Business

Roman Przibylla leads the European expansion as CEO of Bitcoin Suisse (Europe) AG. He brings more than 15 years of distribution experience from senior roles at Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, HSBC, Vontobel and Maverix Securities.

“The MiCAR license gives Bitcoin Suisse access to one of the largest and most sophisticated investor markets in the world. We can now bring high-net-worth and institutional clients in Europe what they truly need: infrastructure at the highest level and, at the same time, direct, personal points of contact with genuine crypto expertise. That combination is not a given in this market,” says Roman Przibylla, CEO Bitcoin Suisse (Europe) AG.

About the Bitcoin Suisse Group

Bitcoin Suisse is a leading premium provider of crypto financial services for institutional clients, crypto foundations, family offices, asset managers and high-net-worth individuals. Headquartered in Zug and founded in 2013 by crypto natives, Bitcoin Suisse employs over 200 people across Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the United Arab Emirates and Bermuda. www.bitcoinsuisse.com

Dubai, UAE, June 23rd, 2026, FinanceWire

ExumPay, a leading provider of white-label payment gateway and payment orchestration technology, launched its next-generation platform designed to give payment providers, banks, ISOs, and merchants complete control over their payment operations through a fully branded, scalable infrastructure.

Offering:

• NO Monthly hosting fee.
• NO Per-integration fee.
• NO Per-user fee.
• NO Support tier fee.
• NO Emergency line surcharge.

Exumpay charges one transaction fee

New integrations come at no additional cost, with hosting and support included as part of the package. Users can benefit from access to hundreds of acquirers and alternative payment methods that are already live and ready to use.

“With some white-label providers you can be waiting 6 months for an integration. That’s why we prioritise integrations the way we do, second only to critical bugs.”

Integration timelines can be completed in as little as one hour based on internal benchmarks, while actual timeframes may vary depending on provider requirements and operational processes. The process prioritizes integration alongside critical system issues to support faster onboarding of payment providers and reduce delays commonly associated with third-party integrations says Matvey Chaevski, Chief Commercial Officer.

“Our mission is simple: empower businesses to own their payment experience.”

Too many organizations are limited by fragmented systems, hidden costs, and lack of visibility. ExumPay provides the infrastructure, transparency, and flexibility needed to optimize payment performance while maintaining complete control under their own brand says Matvey Chaevski, Chief Commercial Officer.

Key platform capabilities include:

• Fully branded white-label payment gateway solutions
• Smart routing and cascading technology to maximize approval rates
• Real-time transaction monitoring and analytics
• Automated reconciliation, settlements, and reporting

About Exumpay

Built by payments industry experts, ExumPay enables organizations to launch and manage their own payment ecosystem while benefiting from advanced routing capabilities, real-time transaction visibility, automated reconciliation, and powerful reporting tools.

As payment complexity continues to grow, businesses face increasing challenges related to transaction approval rates, operational efficiency, and provider management. ExumPay addresses these challenges through intelligent payment routing, centralized data management, and a flexible architecture that allows organizations to customize payment workflows according to their specific business needs.

Round led by RTP Global; several of Attention’s own customers invested.

Attention, the AI platform for revenue teams, today announced a $30 million Series B led by RTP Global, with participation from returning investors Aglaé Ventures, Eniac, and Alven, new investor Linea Ventures, and a group of angel investors drawn from Attention’s own customer base. The company will use the funding to expand its agentic offering and move further upmarket into enterprise revenue organizations.

Most AI tools for sales watch the call and write up what happened. Attention takes the action – it drafts and sends the follow-up, updates the CRM, and runs the next play – and because it takes the action, it can tie the outcome back to its own work. That closed loop is the thing observation-only tools can’t do: if software only records and summarizes, it can never prove what it changed. Attention is built the other way around.

The approach shows up in usage. Attention is now running more than 20 million agent actions per month for customers since launching the capability, and annual recurring revenue is up 4x year over year. As the platform has moved upmarket, average contract value has grown 10x over two years. The company now serves more than 500 customers, including Abridge, Scale, Lovable, Preply, and BambooHR.

Earlier this month, co-founder and CEO Anis Bennaceur open-sourced a stripped-down version of what Attention does and posted it to LinkedIn. It drew more than 500 comments from people asking for access – a signal of how much demand sits in the gap between tools that record the call and a system that acts on it.

Customers report outcomes that show up in revenue, not just in hours saved. Abridge, the healthcare AI company, credits Attention with 5x coaching efficiency while their sales organization experienced 4x growth. Unify improved its win rate 40%. Certificial cut its forecasting margin of error from 15% to 5%. Because Attention takes the action, each of these traces back to work the platform did. 

“Attention serves as a fundamental operating layer across our go-to-market. It’s one of those win-win-win solutions — a win for the rep, a win for the company, and a win for managers. The ability to customize prompts and workflows has been a game changer for our forecasting accuracy and pipeline hygiene.” — Jeremy von Halle, VP of Revenue Operations, Abridge.

“The simplest way I describe Attention is that we automate smarter work for sales teams over time. Most software in this space watches the call and writes up what happened. We take the next best action, and because we take it, we can see what actually worked and didn’t, and get smarter every time we do.” — Anis Bennaceur, co-founder and CEO, Attention.

The funding goes toward Attention’s next step: an autonomous action engine that surfaces each rep’s highest-impact next moves, ranked by likely revenue, and executes the ones they approve, then learns from the outcome of every action it takes. 

Attention was founded at the end of 2021 by Anis Bennaceur (CEO) and Matthias Wickenburg (CTO), who were formerly competitors in the previous startups they had co-founded. They saw the shift to LLMs coming early and started working together.

The round also drew angel investments from leaders at companies that run on Attention, including Preply co-founder and CEO Kirill Bigai, Pavilion CEO Sam Jacobs, and executives at Engine, Abridge, and Scale AI.

About Attention

Attention is the AI platform for revenue teams. Its agents act inside the revenue workflow, drafting and sending follow-ups, updating the system of record, and running the next play, so teams can see, and prove, the outcomes the software drives. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in New York, Attention serves more than 500 customers, including Abridge, Scale, Lovable, Preply, Engine, and BambooHR. Users can learn more at attention.com.

My Wallet, one of the leading TON-native wallets, now runs on Solana, Ethereum, Base, and eight other networks with built-in portfolio tracking, a native AI Agent, gasless transfers, and a top-7 CertiK security ranking

MyTonWallet, an open-source self-custodial wallet launched on The Open Network in 2022, rebrands to My Wallet. The product serves over 9 million users and has expanded from a single-chain TON wallet to an 11-network platform covering TON, TRON, Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, Avalanche, and Hyperliquid, with Bitcoin next on the roadmap. Existing wallets and seed phrases remain unchanged, with no migration required.

Portfolio Tracking Across 11 Supported Chains

My Wallet tracks net worth and portfolio performance across all supported networks inside the non-custodial wallet. Total Value, Total P&L, Daily P&L, and Portfolio Share charts show how balances and returns change over time with flexible date ranges, token-level filters, and key events. Chain, Asset Mix, and Staked breakdowns add a clear view of portfolio composition based on actual on-chain balances, and users can follow how their holdings changed in any base fiat currency they choose.

Unlike many existing wallets, My Wallet integrates full portfolio tracking directly into the wallet experience across all 11 chains. While MetaMask keeps complete portfolio analytics in a separate web app, and Phantom’s built-in P&L covers Solana only, My Wallet brings net-worth and P&L tracking across every supported network into the wallet itself — with no third-party tools or browser dapps.

Every Chain Works Like the Main Chain

My Wallet keeps persistent high-frequency connections to all 11 blockchains, including EVM, making every chain feel native. Combined with optimistic UI techniques, it allows transfers to appear instantly, bringing a messenger-like experience. 

Gasless transfers on both TON and Solana remove another friction point. Users can send USDC without holding any SOL, and the token being sent covers the fee. The same mechanism is in development for EVM chains.

“Stablecoins already move more money than Visa — $33 trillion in 2025. For that to reach people outside crypto, the wallet has to stop being the hardest part, and the blockchain fees should be simplified,” says Alex Zinchuk, Founder of My Wallet.

Transaction Simulation and Unified Activity History

Before confirming any dapp transaction on any chain, My Wallet displays a simulation of the smart contract interaction — assets leaving the wallet, assets arriving, the contract being called. Full transaction history is available across all 11 chains, with activity from every supported network joined into one unified view. Users no longer need to switch between separate chain-specific interfaces to track what happened across their wallet.

Built-In AI Agent

My Wallet offers a native AI Crypto Agent inside the wallet. Users talk to it in natural language to send assets, swap tokens, and stake cryptocurrencies. The Agent can also answer questions about token prices, portfolio performance, and market signals like the Fear & Greed Index.

Security Track Record

My Wallet ranks No. 7 on CertiK’s Wallet Security Leaderboard at the time of publication — alongside MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Bitget Wallet. The CertiK audit, open-source codebase, and reproducible builds have been in place since launch. A $100K bug bounty on CertiK SkyShield has been live since March 2024 with no critical vulnerabilities reported to date.

My Wallet is self-custodial by design. The team cannot access user funds, seed phrases, private keys, passwords, or browser history.

“We started My Wallet because we could not find a wallet we wanted to use ourselves — one where security and usability were both taken seriously, at the same time. The name was the last thing to catch up,” says Alex Zinchuk.

Features in Development

Bitcoin support, Ledger hardware wallet integration across all chains, staking and lending on every supported network, and a headless wallet mode for AI agents are in active development.

My Wallet is built to be a self-custodial wallet people actually enjoy using: clear, fast, and beautiful enough to feel familiar even outside crypto. It keeps the power of a multichain wallet under the surface — with CertiK-audited security, open-source code, reproducible builds, and full user control.

My Wallet is available on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, and as a browser extension at mywallet.io.

About My Wallet

My Wallet (formerly MyTonWallet) is a self-custodial, open-source multichain wallet for TON, TRON, Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Hyperliquid, and Monad. Founded in 2022 and audited by CertiK with a top-7 Wallet Security ranking, it serves over 9 million users across mobile, desktop, web, and Telegram Mini App.

Staking inside My Wallet is powered by Stakee, its own staking protocol, ranked among the top two TON DeFi protocols by TVL on DefiLlama, and top three by TVL on TON overall.

Menroc Asset Management has reported a growing shift among its clients towards fixed income and income-focused investment strategies as investors seek greater certainty around returns amid ongoing economic and market uncertainty.

According to the firm, a growing number of private and corporate clients have increased allocations to fixed income investments during the first half of 2026, with many reducing exposure to traditional growth-focused assets such as equities and other investments primarily reliant on capital appreciation.

The trend comes as investors continue to assess the impact of elevated interest rates, inflationary pressures and ongoing discussions surrounding proposed capital gains tax reforms.

“We have seen a noticeable increase in client enquiries and investment activity relating to fixed income and contractual income solutions throughout 2026,” said Mr. Michael Everett, Account Executive at Menroc Asset Management.

“Many investors are seeking greater visibility over future cash flow and are placing increased importance on investments that can provide defined income payments rather than relying solely on future market appreciation.”

Menroc Asset Management says the shift has been evident across a broad range of clients, including self-funded retirees, high-net-worth investors and corporate investors seeking to diversify portfolio risk.

The firm believes that while equities remain an important component of long-term portfolio construction, investors are increasingly looking to balance growth objectives with investments capable of generating predictable income.

“Investors are becoming more focused on portfolio resilience,” said Mr. Giles Harper, Account Executive at Menroc Asset Management.

“We are seeing greater interest in investments that offer defined payment structures and more certainty around expected returns, particularly among clients seeking to preserve capital while maintaining income generation.”

Menroc notes that higher interest rate settings have expanded the range of income-producing opportunities available to investors compared with the low-rate environment experienced in previous years.

“In today’s market, investors have more options available when constructing income-focused portfolios,” said Mr. James Roberts, Account Executive at Menroc Asset Management.

“The focus is increasingly shifting towards understanding the quality of income, issuer strength, underlying risk and how income-producing assets fit within a broader diversification strategy.”

Menroc Asset Management expects demand for fixed income and contractual income strategies to remain strong throughout the remainder of 2026 as investors continue to seek portfolio diversification and greater certainty around investment outcomes.

About Menroc Asset Management

Menroc Asset Management is an independent Australian investment and advisory firm. The firm provides investment services across equities, FX, managed funds, structured products and derivatives.
