Japanese financial services group SBI Holdings intends to launch a cryptocurrency fund before the end of November, according to Bloomberg.

  • Bloomberg cited Tomoya Asakura, president of SBI affiliate Morningstar Japan K.K., who said the fund could total several hundred million dollars in bitcoin, ether, XRP, bitcoin cash, litecoin and other cryptocurrencies.
  • The fund could require a minimum investment of a minimum of roughly 1 million yen (US$9,100) to 3 million yen ($27,000) and will target investors who understand cryptocurrency’s volatility and other risks.
  • “I want people to hold it together with other assets and experience firsthand how useful it can be for diversifying portfolios,” Asakura told Bloomberg, adding that if the fund succeeds the company would “move quickly” to launch a second one.
  • SBI needed four years to reach this point, largely because of Japan’s tightening restrictions over cryptocurrency investing.

Recall Labs, a firm that has run 20 or so AI trading arenas, pitted foundational large language models (LLMs) against customized trading agents.

Cosa sapere:

  • Specially customized AI trading tools outperformed LLMs such as GPT-5, DeepSeek and Gemini Pro.
  • Rather than simply using profit and loss to measure success, AI agents balance risk and reward when faced with a multitude of market conditions.
  • As in TradFi, hedge funds and family offices with the resources to invest in the development of custom AI trading tools will be first to reap the rewards.
