Innovayte

Innovayte, a custody and clearing firm that supports entrepreneurial registered investment advisors (RIAs) and wealth managers, and Advyzon, a comprehensive technology platform and portfolio management solution for financial advisors and investment managers, today announced the launch of their groundbreaking, state-of-the-art platform and model marketplace. For Innovayte, Advyzon has created its first and only custodial back-end platform. The technology offers advisors a unique solution combining a separately managed account (SMA) and model marketplace with access to third-party asset managers – offered by Advyzon Investment Management (AIM), the turnkey asset management program under the Advyzon umbrella – all built from a unified managed account (UMA) framework. “Technology is critical to helping RIAs reach their entrepreneurial goals,” said Cat Davies, Chief Executive Officer of Innovayte. “To truly empower advisors, we needed a new and fresh technology solution, not the same archaic legacy systems that fail to address the industry’s diverse needs. We’re excited to partner with Advyzon to give our advisors all the tools they need to grow and scale.” A PARTNERSHIP TO PUSH THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY FORWARD Advyzon’s intuitive, cloud-based technology platform offers a single solution that combines portfolio management, customizable performance reporting, trading and rebalancing, client web portals, CRM, client billing, and SEC-compliant document storage, customized mobile app and portal, as well as the model marketplace and investment management from Innovayte’s UMA/SMA platform via Advyzon Investment Management. “We are proud to introduce the custody, clearing and investment management platform of the future,” said Lee Andreatta, CEO of Advyzon Investment Management. “When Innovayte approached us about a partnership, we jumped at the opportunity to help usher in a new era for financial custody and clearing, plus investment management. Unfortunately, most firms use outdated technology, and we hope this partnership helps push the entire industry forward.” The Innovayte platform is the only technology solution that can effectively serve the unique needs of high- and ultra-high-net-worth clients, given the UMA framework and its inclusion of a full rebalancer, model marketplace, and access to third-party managers. Key features include: Nucleus Model Marketplace, which gives advisors access to third-party strategists, risk models, and advisor-created models. Quantum Rebalancer, which gives advisors multiple rebalance and tactical trade tools, including location optimization, cash management, and tax-loss harvesting. Robust Trading Capabilities, including tax overlay and direct indexing options. SMA/UMA Structure, featuring single and multi-sleeve reporting and trading. To learn more about Innovayte, click here.

Justin Sun's Message on HTX’s 11th Anniversary: A Crypto Pioneer’s Unwavering Commitment to User Experience

HTX

Singapore, August 9 - HTX, one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, rolled out the launch ceremony of its 11th-anniversary event series themed "Turning Trials to Triumph" on August 7. The event attracted the attendance of Justin Sun, a member of the HTX Global Advisory Board, along with several renowned crypto influencers. They shared their journeys in the industry and their outlook on HTX's future. A Company Is Like an Iceberg: What’s Hidden Matters Most The blockchain industry has come a long way since the Bitcoin whitepaper was published in 2008, marking nearly 16 years of development. For more than two-thirds of this time, HTX has been a key witness and participant in the industry. "People often overlook the achievements that stem from long-term development, fixating instead on short-term events. This is evident in the widespread concerns over price fluctuations, despite the industry's significant progress being undervalued. Over the past 11 years, the growth in the crypto space has far exceeded that of traditional industries. In the crypto world, nothing is impossible, and this statement holds true whether interpreted positively or negatively," said Sun. HTX has seen strong momentum this year, with trading volumes steadily climbing and the 24-hour volume repeatedly placing the exchange in the top two among centralized exchanges. Additionally, HTX introduced several new products this year, such as Restaking, Trade to Earn, and Earn with Pending Orders, all of which are well-received by users. Reflecting on the experience of the exchange operations, Sun emphasized, "The trading experience is the core of every exchange. At HTX, we focus our time and energy on enhancing user experience to boost trading volume. Moreover, the new assets listed on HTX are cherry-picked. We are committed to offering the best selection of cryptos." Since November 2023, HTX has listed nearly 200 new cryptocurrencies, with 85% achieving a fivefold increase in value. Sun likened running a company to managing an iceberg, noting that what is visible is just a small part, while the unseen portion is what keeps the iceberg afloat. "Similarly, for a company, the aspects users don't see are crucial, such as security. The regulatory environment is also key; challenges vary at different stages, but excellence is required at every stage." Enduring Through Bull and Bear Markets: Striving to Be a Time-honoured Crypto Platform Since his enrollment at the HTX Global Advisory Board, Sun has set the goal for the platform to reclaim its position among the top three exchanges. Given the current progress, HTX is striding on the trajectory toward this goal. To expedite this goal, Sun has laid out three short-term plans: "First, we will continue to enhance HTX's liquidity, not only for BTC and ETH but also for other major coins and newly listed ones. Second, we will keep attracting new users in existing markets. Third, we aim to improve user experience, aspiring to become the exchange with the best user experience in the industry." Looking further ahead, Sun shared a piece of advice from Alibaba's founder billionaire Jack Ma during a class at Hupan University, which resonates with his vision for HTX: "Not only should we aim to do well, but we should also strive to endure." Sun added, "As Ma pointed out, Japanese companies often have a century-long history, we also yearn for being a centuries-old platform and will always work hard for it, despite the challenges in the financial industry. In the Web3 space, it's rare for a company to last 11 years, but HTX has achieved this milestone. The financial sector is about managing risk, and HTX has successfully navigated multiple bull and bear cycles to reach its 11th anniversary, making it a 'living fossil' in the crypto world." Brand Value - An Exchange's Moat The competition among cryptocurrency exchanges is fierce, but Sun believes HTX boasts advantages owing to firm roots. "Brand value is the moat for exchanges, and maintaining long-term customer public praise is crucial. The next level of competition drives every exchange to enhance market depth, trading experience, and regulatory compliance. The current regulatory environment is complex and challenging, but HTX is performing well in this area. Additionally, HTX fosters a closer connection with the community and users than the super large exchanges, an advantage that must be carefully maintained," Sun explained. This continued commitment to community engagement and brand value has earned HTX a loyal following among its users and friends, many of whom attended this launch. KOL Jianing Yu, one of the participants, noted, "HTX is rooted in longtermism. Successful exchanges in China have thrived by pursuing long-term values. The infrastructure of the Chinese crypto ecosystem remains robust, with platforms like TRON being among the most important globally. The crypto industry still requires a balance between innovation and integrity." Another influencer, J@Crypto, recalled that the smooth trading experience was what initially attracted him to HTX. As seasoned players in the crypto space, the guests expressed a strong belief in Bitcoin. UNAI YANG shared, "I read the Bitcoin whitepaper five times during my undergraduate years and realized then that witnessing Bitcoin surpassing the dollar would be an extraordinary future." Dr. K also echoed this sentiment, "Bitcoin has been my steadfast companion through the ups and downs." The guests also shared their insights and advice for investors. Michael advised, "First, don't use leverage; second, only invest money you can afford to lose." Another participant, Yuanzhang, added, "The inability to hold onto coins stems from fear and greed. A larger fund base fosters a patience and stable mindset and so do the idle funds. Longtermism isn't about holding indefinitely but adjusting where you sit. If you view Bitcoin as a ballast, you'll have a better mindset." Closing Thoughts Over the past 11 years, HTX has evolved from a cryptocurrency exchange into a comprehensive blockchain business ecosystem, a transformation made possible by the support of its users. In appreciation of users' trust and companionship, HTX officially launched its 11th-anniversary event series at 03:11 on August 8 (UTC), offering rewards exceeding $10 million. Looking ahead, HTX will continue to pursue higher security standards and liquidity, enhance user experience, introduce more diverse products, and remain committed to industry development, aiming to achieve even greater success. As Justin Sun said, HTX is on the way to becoming the centuries-old platform in the crypto space. About HTX Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved over a decade from a simple cryptocurrency exchange to a comprehensive blockchain business ecosystem. This expansion covers a wide range of services including digital asset trading, financial derivatives, wallets, research, investments, incubation, and more. As a world-leading portal to Web 3.0, HTX is committed to a growth strategy focused on global expansion, ecological prosperity, wealth effect, and safety and compliance. This approach enables us to offer comprehensive, safe, and reliable services and value to virtual currency enthusiasts around the world, reinforcing our position as a global gateway to Web3.

Institutional investors embrace next wave of ETFs

Tradeweb

Since their first introduction in the early 1990s, U.S. retail investors have embraced Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) as a way to diversify their investment portfolios, viewing ETFs as a pathway to better pricing, greater efficiency, better investor access and improved execution for a wide variety of assets and trading strategies. Now, as new ETF products have launched and investor demands have changed, institutional investors are playing a larger role in driving ETF adoption. Take the recent listing of spot Bitcoin ETFs, for example. Earlier this year, after receiving approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), eleven spot Bitcoin ETFs debuted in the U.S. market. Hailed as the most successful ETF launch in history, on its first day of trading, total spot Bitcoin ETF volumes reached over $4.6 billion. In the first four days of trading, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF reached $1 billion in assets, the first among the group of eleven newly launched ETFs to reach this milestone. Now the world’s largest Bitcoin fund, the ETF has garnered nearly $20 billion in total assets. Although popular among retail investors, cryptocurrencies have received mixed reviews from institutional investors, with many rejecting the assets outright because of their potentially speculative and unregulated nature. However, in the months following the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, market makers and institutional investors lined up in force to price these ETFs and gain exposure to these assets – resulting in strong liquidity and high volumes on its first day of trading. This momentum continued to build, with roughly 500 institutional investors allocating funds into spot Bitcoin ETFs in the first quarter of 2024. On the Tradeweb platform, BlackRock’s IBIT ETF reached an average daily volume of $4.2 million in the first six months. Benefits of the ETF Wrapper While the strong volumes that played out across the market and on the Tradeweb platform over the past six months are a testament to the sophistication and preparedness of institutional firms themselves, they also underscore the attractiveness of ETFs more broadly. A variety of characteristics make the ETF structure appealing. The most basic is that an ETF looks, feels and settles like a stock, while simultaneously managing risk efficiently and providing exposure to a wide range of asset classes. Because of this, more types of investors are willing to use ETFs in various ways, such as for cash equitization, asset diversification and tax management purposes. They also serve as hedging tools for traders wishing to express short-term tactical views on the market. In the case of Bitcoin, though, institutional investors may be more focused on the SEC's approval than price transparency and liquidity. This important step could influence whether Bitcoin and other digital currencies become more mainstream, as many institutional investors and ETF providers – skeptical about buying and settling the asset – still reject crypto currencies in their portfolios. Now, the ETF wrapper has made these assets more appealing. Instead of avoiding Bitcoin, investors just might justify with their investment committees buying assets that are more like equity, trade on a national exchange, and have regulatory approval. While the SEC noted that approving these spot Bitcoin ETFs was not an endorsement or approval of Bitcoin itself, the SEC emphasized the protections that would be afforded to investors by SEC regulation of the spot Bitcoin ETFs, such as full and fair product disclosure. Democratizing Fixed Income This is somewhat of a deja vu moment, since we’ve seen ETFs broaden an asset’s investor base before, and indeed transform a market. In fixed income, ETFs have changed the buying and selling of bonds by creating these fungible, easily tradeable proxy shares for assets that had largely been the domain of institutions and high net-worth individual investors. Traditionally, investors were more commonly set up and familiar with trading equities rather than fixed income, making it harder to source, price, bundle and trade certain bonds. As a result, retail investors, in particular, had difficulties accessing the full breadth of the fixed income market. But in the form of ETFs, investors were able to tap into multiple areas of the bond market, bringing on a whole new level of liquidity and price transparency to the underlying assets. That’s opened fixed income to retail investing and spawned a fixed income ETF boom over the past decade. Today, fixed income ETFs make up a $2 trillion asset class and in the U.S. alone, over 700 fixed income ETFs are currently trading, all of which are available to trade on the Tradeweb platform under the request-for-quote (RFQ) protocol. Since launching our first RFQ cash equities platform in Europe in 2018, institutional market participants have increasingly turned toward the protocol because of its advantages, including seamless integration into trading workflows, more flexibility, better pricing and increased efficiency. Moreover, we continue to report strong volumes across the ETF platform, driven by the constant expansion of electronic trade types and the introduction of new trading efficiencies. Since the launch of our institutional European ETF platform in 2012[1] and our U.S. ETF platform in 2016, we’ve reported a rise of 51% and 59%, respectively, in total average annual notional volume growth[2]. Sure, generally, the assets underlying an ETF need to be liquid already for an ETF to be successful, but if our experience watching more retail investors leaping into fixed income ETFs is a guide, we’re likely to see new kinds of investors dabbling in digital assets and institutional investors continue to make a bigger splash in areas where they hadn’t in the past, such as cryptocurrencies. Ethereum Takes the Spotlight With the successful launch of Bitcoin behind us, spot Ethereum ETFs are the latest to get the greenlight after the SEC approved the listing of eight spot ether ETFs in May 2024. On the first day of trading, the eight new spot ether ETFs hit $1 billion in trading volume on their first day – a smaller number than the over $4.6 billion in total trading volume spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in on the first day, but a significant milestone nonetheless. What the SEC has not signaled in these narrow approvals of crypto ETFs, though, is its willingness to approve listing standards for crypto asset securities in general, citing the speculative, volatile nature of the asset. ETFs based on baskets of different crypto assets have yet to emerge, and investors hoping to broadly diversify their crypto holdings through ETFs have had to settle for shares whose underlying assets are companies that own or deal in crypto currencies – rather than the currencies themselves. Even still, as we’ve seen in fixed income, the ETF wrapper can play a significant role in changing a market, leading the way to greater acceptance of the asset class and promoting broader interest and acceptance among investors by offering a more tax-efficient and transparent way to diversify holdings and gain exposure to a broader range of assets. These characteristics have made ETFs appealing to retail investors, who have historically pioneered ETF adoption, and institutions and high-net-worth investors, who have more recently been driving this trend. It’s a role we’ll continue to watch over time as innovation, new asset classes and technologies shape what’s next for ETFs.
