On January 29, 2026, Casder Institute of Wealth (Casder) reported further progress in the practical deployment of its AI-driven financial education and trading practice framework, as it continues to develop its AI systems and supporting ecosystem tools.
At this stage, the focus is not on short-term trading training itself, but on the gradual construction of a sustainable practical framework built around AI-assisted decision-making, systematic trading structures, and long-term risk management capabilities. The design emphasizes forming a closed-loop process from cognition and execution to review within real market environments, helping participants establish stable and verifiable trading logic.
Vanguard AI System Enters Broader Teaching and Practical Application
As related training programs continue to progress, the Casder Vanguard AI System has entered a broader stage of teaching and practical application. In actual operation, the system undertakes core functions such as auxiliary analysis, strategy verification, and risk identification, assisting participants in understanding complex market structures and improving decision-making stability during real trading activities.
Casder stated that the AI system is not intended to replace trading decisions, but rather serves as an auxiliary tool to help participants maintain rational judgment and execution discipline in a highly fragmented information environment.
Functional Tools Gradually Take Shape Around Real Use Cases
Building on the application of the AI system, functional tools within the Casder ecosystem are also expanding across real use cases. Among them, RUDR, the functional utility token within the Casder ecosystem, is used for system subscriptions, feature unlocking, access to educational resources, and participation in the community ecosystem, gradually forming an application foundation based on genuine usage demand.
Relevant observations indicate that, unlike models driven primarily by emotional volatility, the development of RUDR depends more on the actual depth of AI system application, user engagement levels, and the pace of overall ecosystem development.
Building a System and Ecosystem Structure for Long-Term Operation
Casder stated that its overall layout is not centered on a single course or short-term outcome, but rather on the coordinated operation of AI systems, practical tools, and ecosystem mechanisms to gradually refine the overall structure of financial education and practice.
Looking ahead, the Institute will continue to advance system optimization and ecosystem development, enabling technology and tools to more stably support teaching, research, and practical training needs.

Users of prediction market Myriad put a 36% chance on Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy selling some of its BTC holdings—up from 22% at the start of the week.
The company’s multiple to net asset value (mNAV) currently sits at 1.08; if it falls below 1, Strategy may be forced to pause Bitcoin purchases.
Analysts argued that Strategy’s “long-term accumulation thesis remains intact.”
Strategy’s Bitcoin conviction is facing its toughest test yet as the crypto market enters a prolonged downturn.
On prediction market Myriad, owned by Decrypt’s parent company, DASTAN, users now see a 36% likelihood that the Bitcoin treasury firm will sell some of its BTC holdings before year-end, up from 22% at the start of the week.
]]>
The bearish shift comes as Bitcoin plunged below key support levels to trade at $76,039—just below the average purchase price of Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings. The cryptocurrency is down 2.9% in the past 24 hours, 15.4% over the past week, and 18.1% over the past month, according to CoinGecko data.
Bitcoin is now down about 40% from its October peak of $126,080, with Myriad users assigning a greater than 72% chance that it falls to $69,000 rather than rebounds to $100,000.
Strategy’s ability to keep buying, or avoid selling, partly hinges on its multiple to net asset value (mNAV), which compares the firm’s enterprise value to the value of its Bitcoin holdings.
An mNAV above 1 means the stock trades at a premium to its BTC, allowing the company to issue shares via at-the-market offerings to fund further purchases.
That ratio currently sits near 1.08; a drop below 1 could slow or pause new buying.
On Myriad, users place a near-90% chance on Strategy’s mNAV dropping to 0.85 rather than ticking up to 1.5, a figure that’s largely unchanged from a month ago.
]]>
Will Strategy buy or sell BTC?
Despite the bearish sentiment, analysts remain skeptical that Strategy will liquidate holdings.
“I don’t think the drop in the Bitcoin prices changes anything for Strategy,” Nic Puckrin, digital asset analyst and co-founder of Coin Bureau, told Decrypt.
He argued that the firm’s co-founder and chair, Michael Saylor, has “always been prepared for a downturn, as any Bitcoin investor with experience would be,” adding that, “He’s not facing any forced liquidations, and the first tranche of the convertible bonds isn’t due until early next year.”
“In the near term, I do not expect Strategy to buy more BTC because the BTC spot price-to-average Strategy’s purchase price ratio is 1, which could be dilutive,” Aurelie Barthere, Principal Research Analyst at Nansen, told Decrypt.
The firm has, to date, continued to buy Bitcoin, announcing a further purchase of 855 BTC on February 2. Saylor continued to strike a bullish note, tweeting, “1. Buy Bitcoin 2. Don’t Sell the Bitcoin” Tuesday.
The Rules of Bitcoin 1. Buy Bitcoin 2. Don’t Sell the Bitcoin
— Michael Saylor (@saylor) February 3, 2026
“Will Strategy sell BTC? It will depend on whether they have set aside a cash reserve to meet their cash obligations, mainly for preferred stock dividends,” Barthere added.
The world’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder faces mounting pressure as its stock bleeds value for an eighth consecutive month, with the company currently holding 713,502 BTC, worth over $52 billion at current prices.
MSTR has cratered from its November 2024 peak of $540 to around $133, a drop of over 75%, according to Yahoo Finance data. According to the firm’s website, it holds a cash reserve of $2.25 billion, enough to cover 30 months of dividend payments.
“While their long-term accumulation thesis remains intact, any decision to sell would likely reflect opportunistic pricing or capital reallocation needsnot a fundamental shift in their conviction,” Marcin Kazmierczak, co-founder of RedStone, told Decrypt.
The key variable, Kazmierczak said, isn’t whether the firm could sell, but “whether the risk-reward at current levels justifies their allocation strategy.”
Decrypt has reached out to Strategy for comment.

Vitalik Buterin said Ethereum needs “a new path” that relies less on layer-2 networks.
He warned some L2s have compromised on decentralization and should not be treated as “branded” extensions of Ethereum.
Buterin urged L2 developers to pitch a value proposition beyond simply “scaling Ethereum.”
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said Tuesday that the network must find “a new path” involving less dependence on layer-2 scaling networks, also known as L2s.
“The original vision of L2s and their role in Ethereum no longer makes sense,” Buterin wrote in an X post.
For years, Ethereum developers have pursued a long-term goal of “scaling” the network, which would effectively mean creating enough available block space to allow all manner of applications and transactions to flow on the network, without sacrificing its security, efficiency, and decentralization.
There have recently been some discussions on the ongoing role of L2s in the Ethereum ecosystem, especially in the face of two facts:
* L2s’ progress to stage 2 (and, secondarily, on interop) has been far slower and more difficult than originally expected* L1 itself is scaling,…
— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) February 3, 2026
Many in the Ethereum community, including Buterin, previously said this goal would best be achieved via layer-2 networks, such as Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism, which are built on top of the Ethereum mainnet by third-parties.
But Buterin has now changed his tune, arguing that the Ethereum mainnet is currently scaling at sufficient speed—and further, that some L2s can’t be trusted to live up to Ethereum’s standards, and thus should not be considered “branded” shards of the network, particularly when it comes to sufficient decentralization.
“L2s are not able or willing to satisfy the properties that a true ‘branded shard’ would require,” the Ethereum co-founder said. “I’ve even seen at least one explicitly saying that they may never want to go beyond stage 1, not just for technical reasons around ZK-EVM safety, but also because their customers’ regulatory needs require them to have ultimate control.”
]]>
As Buterin first laid out in 2022, “stage 1” L2s are those with “limited training wheels” when it comes to security and decentralization, while “stage 2” networks are fully decentralized.
Buterin proposed Tuesday that consumers and developers should start to think of L2s less as an extension of Ethereum in all cases, and more as a spectrum: in which some networks are considered up to Ethereum’s standards, and some aren’t, because they offer users another perk or benefit at the expense of security or decentralization.
The announcement could prove to be a watershed moment for the world of L2 development and marketing. For years, most networks building on Ethereum have honed their pitch around “scaling Ethereum”. Now, Buterin says, leaning on that framing will no longer suffice.
“What would I do today if I were an L2?” the software developer posited. “Identify a value-add other than ‘scaling.’”

On January 29, 2026, Casder Institute of Wealth (Casder) officially launched its Phase 21 Trading Practical Training Course. The commencement of this course marks a new stage in Casder’s development in AI-driven financial education, systematic trading practice, and long-term talent cultivation.
Phase 21 is not a traditional short-term trading program. Instead, it is a comprehensive practical training system built around AI-assisted decision-making, systematic trading frameworks, and long-term risk management capabilities. The course emphasizes hands-on training in real market environments and adopts a closed-loop process from cognition and execution to review, helping participants gradually establish sustainable and verifiable trading logic.
Casder stated that an institutional-level perspective was incorporated into the course design from the outset, ensuring that the curriculum not only supports individual capability development but also aligns with higher-level financial research and practical requirements.
Institutional Progress and the Deepening of Long-Term Cooperation Mechanisms
Alongside the launch of the course, Casder has also made important progress at the institutional level. Casder has confirmed the receipt of USD 3 million in strategic funding support from a Wall Street family office and has signed long-term cooperation agreements with relevant institutions. The parties will carry out in-depth collaboration in areas including talent cultivation, research collaboration, and professional placement mechanisms.
This strategic funding support is not a short-term arrangement, but is based on recognition of Casder’s educational model, research direction, and long-term talent development mechanisms. The cooperation is expected to contribute to the establishment of a more systematic framework for talent screening, capability verification, and output, providing participants with clearer and more sustainable development pathways.
Vanguard AI System Enters the Teaching and Practical Training Stage

Coinbase has submitted a detailed complaint to the Australian parliament accusing the country’s major banks of making debanking “standard protocol.”
The exchange says up to 60% of fintech businesses faced denial of banking services in 2021, an issue that persists today.
Coinbase is urging lawmakers to legislate five transparency measures recommended by financial regulators in 2022 but never implemented.
Coinbase has accused Australia’s Big Four banks of systematically denying financial services to legitimate crypto companies, calling the practice a threat to competition and trust in the country’s economy.
In a submission to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics, reviewed by Decrypt, the Nasdaq-listed exchange warned that “the withdrawal of banking services, commonly referred to as ‘debanking’, has evolved from a sporadic operational anomaly into a systemic feature of the Australian financial landscape.”
The response, filed last Saturday as part of a parliamentary inquiry into digital payments and innovation, claims that Australian banks are removing banking access through two methods: unilateral account closures and transaction restrictions that halt or limit transfers involving digital assets.
“In Australia the Big 4 banks have implemented policies that impede on people’s abilities to use their own money, and remove banking facilities from consumers and businesses,” Coinbase wrote, referring to Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ, and National Australia Bank.
The complaint comes as Coinbase faces new regulatory requirements to obtain an Australian Financial Services Licence from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission under legislation proposed last November, adding urgency to its calls for banking sector reform.
Debanking practices have “disproportionately targeted the Fintech sector and those utilising digital assets and blockchain,” the exchange said.
With four major banks controlling most transaction accounts and payment rails, Coinbase warned that account exits can amount to an “unlawful regulatory ban,” shutting lawful sectors out of the formal economy.
“In 2021, up to 60% of fintech businesses faced denial of service from banks, an issue which still needs addressing,” the exchange said.
While banks often justify closures on AML/CTF grounds, the crypto platform claimed “the opacity of these decisions has engendered a crisis of confidence in the Australian financial system amongst its everyday users.”
]]>
“There is nothing that degrades trust in an economy faster than being told you cannot use your own money,” Coinbase noted.
Decrypt has reached out to the Big Four banks for comment and will update this article should they respond.
The concerns come as Australia moves to close crypto regulatory gaps through new licensing laws, after Treasury last year acknowledged debanking and said it was “working with stakeholders to ensure transparency and fairness,” including talks with major banks to gauge its extent.
International precedents
Coinbase cited overseas models to curb financial exclusion, noting the EU guarantees a basic bank account for all legal residents and Canada allows almost anyone to open an account, even without a job or with a bankruptcy history.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., President Donald Trump signed an executive order last August directing regulators to prevent politically or crypto-related debanking, and last month filed a $5 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan, alleging it closed his accounts over his political views following the events of January 6, 2021.
Five measures, still unimplemented
The exchange called on lawmakers to compel banks to adopt five transparency measures originally recommended by the Council of Financial Regulators in response to Senate inquiry findings, but never legislated despite government support announced in August 2022.
The measures include requiring banks to document reasons for debanking customers, provide those reasons to affected customers, ensure debanked individuals and small businesses have access to internal dispute resolution procedures, provide a minimum of 30 days’ notice before closing core banking services, and self-certify adherence to these requirements.

GameStop transferred its entire 4,710 Bitcoin holding to Coinbase Prime, prompting questions about a potential sale.
CEO Ryan Cohen said a major acquisition strategy is “way more compelling than Bitcoin.”
The company has returned to profitability while building a roughly $500 million Bitcoin position.
GameStop’s love affair with Bitcoin may be coming to an end.
On Friday, CEO Ryan Cohen said the company is pivoting the meme-stock pioneer toward a “transformative” acquisition, suggesting the company’s roughly $500 million Bitcoin treasury may no longer be a permanent fixture on the balance sheet.
In a CNBC interview, Cohen declined to say whether GameStop plans to cash out its Bitcoin. Still, when asked how the company would fund future deals, Cohen described GameStop’s acquisition ambitions as “way more compelling than Bitcoin.”
]]>
“It’s transformational. Not just for GameStop, but ultimately, within the capital markets,” Cohen told CNBC. “This is something that really has never been done before within the history of the capital markets.”
“If it works, it’s genius. If it doesn’t work, it will be totally foolish,” he added.
Following the announcement, GameStop shares were up about 8.25% on the day, trading around $25.85 after rising $1.97 from $23.88.
The shift in GameStop’s sentiment on Bitcoin follows on-chain data from CryptoQuant indicating that the games retailer had recently transferred its entire 4,710 BTC holdings to Coinbase Prime in January.
While such moves do not necessarily mean a sale, GameStop’s move led to speculation on X that the company is looking to liquidate its position as the value of its treasury currently hovers around $362.4 million. For now, GameStop’s Bitcoin holdings have not been sold.
In March, GameStop updated its investment policy to allow Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, joining a growing number of publicly traded companies that have treated the digital currency as a balance-sheet hedge.
According to Greg Magadini, director of derivatives at Amberdata, Bitcoin’s recent pullback has brought prices back near where many large institutional buyers entered the market in 2025.
“This means that there’s an incentive for large corporations to protect themselves before others capitulate,” Magadini told Decrypt. “If GME finds a better use of capital, reallocating balance sheet away from Bitcoin into an alternative use (such as an acquisition) could make sense.”
According to Magadini, the bearish case for Bitcoin centers on the risk that the wave of corporate and institutional buying seen in late 2024 and 2025 could reverse, with former buyers turning into net sellers, flipping inflows into outflows, and potentially triggering a downward price spiral as falling prices force additional selling.
“Although this bearish scenario could happen, the market is likely aware of some of these dynamics, and this risk may already be priced into Bitcoin,” he said, adding that GME selling its Bitcoin doesn’t necessarily mean other large holders will as well.
“Companies like MSTR have financed their Bitcoin purchases with longer-term debt that isn’t subject to margin liquidation like many exchange traders are accustomed to,” he said. “This means lower prices don’t necessarily turn MSTR into a seller, even if GME selling Bitcoin brings prices down momentarily.”
GameStop did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comment.

In mid-2017, Robert Shoecraft joined Seamless.AI as one of the company’s first three Account Executives. At the time, Seamless.AI employed fewer than 15 people and had not yet reached $1 million in annual recurring revenue.
Seamless.AI provides a SaaS platform offering contact data for B2B sales and marketing professionals. Shoecraft specialized in product demonstrations and consultative selling, closing more than 200 clients during his tenure. These clients ranged from individual users to organizations deploying hundreds of licenses across sales teams.
In addition to direct sales contributions, Shoecraft mentored a team of Sales Development Representatives and supported fellow Account Executives with sales strategy and execution. During this period, he observed the company more than triple its annual recurring revenue and expand significantly across sales, marketing, and product development functions.
Building Sales Infrastructure at Vested
After several years at Seamless.AI, Shoecraft accepted a short-term leadership opportunity at Vested, a SaaS recruitment platform connecting hiring leaders with curated talent.
At Vested, he was responsible for creating the outbound sales framework, sales messaging, and supporting technology stack. While his tenure was brief, the role provided valuable insight into designing sales systems from the ground up and aligning messaging with product-market fit in an early-stage environment.
Global Partnerships at Time Doctor
In 2020, Robert Shoecraft joined Time Doctor as Director of Partnerships and Alliances. Time Doctor is a workforce management and time-tracking SaaS platform used by organizations managing both remote and in-office teams.
Shoecraft was tasked with developing the company’s partnership program from inception. He recruited reseller partners across North America, LATAM, EMEA, and APAC, building a seven-figure partnership sales pipeline within his first year. As the program demonstrated consistent revenue potential, he was authorized to hire and manage regional partnership managers across multiple international markets.
In addition to managing partnerships, Shoecraft created extensive enablement materials, including product one-pagers and a comprehensive sales playbook exceeding 200 pages. These resources enabled partner sales teams to clearly communicate Time Doctor’s value proposition to their customer bases.
Enterprise Partner Management at PerkSpot
In January 2023, Shoecraft transitioned to PerkSpot as a Commercial Partner Manager. PerkSpot provides voluntary employee benefits platforms to large organizations, offering access to discounts from globally recognized consumer brands.
At PerkSpot, Shoecraft managed relationships with five of the organization’s top ten global brokerage partners. His responsibilities included partner enablement, sales alignment, and ensuring PerkSpot remained a consistent consideration in enterprise client discussions. Many of these partners served publicly traded organizations, requiring disciplined communication and compliance-focused engagement.
Building New Partnership Programs at Buddy Punch
In October 2024, Robert Shoecraft joined Buddy Punch to develop a reseller partnership program from the ground up. Buddy Punch operates within the workforce management software space and offers differentiated features such as GPS breadcrumbing and geo-fencing.
In his current role, Shoecraft focuses on establishing scalable partner frameworks, supporting reseller enablement, and aligning product capabilities with partner and customer needs.

India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman left crypto taxation untouched in her ninth consecutive budget presentation on Sunday.
The country’s crypto tax regime remains unchanged in Budget 2026, maintaining the punitive 30% flat tax and 1% TDS.
The budget reduced the maximum imprisonment for TDS defaults from seven years to two years, with courts allowed to convert sentences into monetary penalties.
India’s crypto investors will get no respite from one of the world’s harshest digital asset tax regimes, as Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday left the punitive 30% tax rate and 1% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) unchanged in her ninth consecutive Union Budget presentation.
The decision to maintain the status quo on crypto taxation, first introduced in February 2022, dashes industry hopes for relief from a framework that has driven nearly three-quarters of India’s $6.1 billion (₹51,252 crore) in crypto trading volume to offshore platforms.
The 2022 regime imposed a flat 30% tax on virtual digital asset income with zero deductions except acquisition costs, alongside a 1% TDS that has since crippled high-frequency trading on domestic exchanges.
The unchanged policy means investors continue facing restrictions that prohibit offsetting losses from price drops or security breaches against other income, while the 1% TDS on every transaction makes thin-margin trading strategies commercially unviable on Indian platforms.
The Indian government’s stance “signals that they are still choosing to wait and watch before they decide on next steps,” Pranav Agarwal, independent director at Jetking Infotrain India—the country’s first listed Bitcoin treasury company, told Decrypt.
CA Sonu Jain, chief risk and compliance officer at 9Point Capital, told Decrypt the expectation of unchanged crypto taxes stemmed from the government’s current priorities, which focus “not on revisiting crypto tax policy but on strengthening enforcement, reporting, and compliance.”
India is coordinating policy discussions “at the G20 level on a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto assets,” Jain said, adding that any revisions to tax rules are likely only once “such regulations are in place.”
While tax rates remain untouched, Budget 2026 did ease one enforcement provision.
Criminal liability for TDS defaults, previously punishable with up to seven years’ imprisonment, has been reduced to a maximum of two years, with courts now allowed to convert violations into monetary penalties.
Jain called the move “a big positive for P2P traders who have been non-compliant.”
The regime had already tightened in Budget 2025, when undisclosed crypto gains were brought under Section 158B, enabling retrospective audits going back 48 months and penalties of up to 70% on unpaid taxes.

New reporting penalties
However, the budget introduced new penalty provisions for non-compliance with crypto asset transaction reporting requirements under Section 509 of the Income Tax Act, 2025.
Entities failing to furnish statements face a penalty of $2.19 (₹200) per day, while those providing inaccurate information or failing to correct inaccuracies will be penalized $546 (₹50,000), taking effect from the 1st of April.
“Taxation was introduced as an interim step until clear and comprehensive regulations are defined,” Sudhakar Lakshmanaraja, founder of Digital South Trust, a Web3 policy advocacy body, told Decrypt, echoing Jain’s sentiments.
Amid ongoing volatility in crypto and Web3 markets, he said India’s approach “reflects policy maturity,” and that “regulatory certainty at this stage strengthens compliance” while supporting long-term ecosystem growth.
