‘e-Registration' mobile app launched by CM Majhi
BHUBANESWAR: In a move to streamline registration process of landed property online and in a transparent manner, the state government on Wednesday launched the 'e-Registration' application which offers a wide range of services from anywhere without having to visit the sub-registrar's office.
Launching the Android-based mobile application developed by the Revenue and Disaster Management department at Lok Seva Bhawan here, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi said this is a significant milestone in the state government's digital service delivery.
'Through this mobile application, users can book slots for registration deeds, apply for certified copies, encumbrance certificates, check benchmark land values and a range of other services from the comfort of their homes. The app also provides complete information about the nearest sub-registrar office, details of the property including land description, area, valuation and ownership status of a particular property,' he added.
He further said the application will provide all information about applicable stamp duty and registration fees based on the property details. The user can make online payments without visiting the sub-registrar office or taking assistance of any revenue officials or middlemen, he added.
With the app making the system paperless and cashless, the CM said people will no longer have to queue up or make multiple visits to the sub-registrar's office. 'The e-Registration app is now available in the Google play store for download and efforts are on to make the app available for iPhone users soon,' Majhi added.
Releasing a booklet highlighting the achievements of the Revenue department in the first year, the chief minister said land pattas have been provided to 16,727 homeless individuals through Basundhara scheme and permanent record of rights (RoRs) issued to 20,385 government schools and colleges.

UAE's Aqua 1 invests $100 million in Trump-linked crypto venture, amid outcry of influence peddling
Aqua 1 Foundation, a UAE-based Web3 investment fund, announced today a $100 million purchase of governance tokens in World Liberty Financial (WLF), solidifying its position as the largest individual investor in the controversial crypto venture closely tied to the Trump family. The deal marks the second major Middle Eastern investment in WLF within months, raising fresh questions about foreign influence and conflicts of interest surrounding the decentralized finance platform. The investment grants Aqua 1 significant voting rights over WLF's future development. According to a joint statement, the capital will accelerate WLF's plans to build blockchain-powered financial applications, including expanding its USD1 stablecoin and developing platforms for tokenizing traditional assets like real estate or commodities. The partnership also includes plans to co-develop "BlockRock," an institutional real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform, and support the launch of Aqua 1's "Aqua Fund," a UAE-domiciled digital economy investment vehicle backed by regional stakeholders. "Aligning with Aqua 1 validates our blueprint for global financial innovation," said WLF co-founder Zak Folkman. 'We have a joint mission to bring digital assets to the masses and strengthen our nation's standing as a champion and leader of cryptocurrency.' Dave Lee, Aqua 1's founding partner, emphasized WLF's USD1 ecosystem represents a "trillion-dollar structural pivot opportunity" merging traditional finance with decentralized technology. This investment shines another spotlight on WLF's origins and ownership structure, which has drawn intense scrutiny since its launch: WLF was founded in 2024 and is primarily owned by DT Marks DEFI LLC, an entity controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holding approximately 60% (recently reduced from 75%). The Trump family business entity is entitled to 75% of all net revenues from WLF token sales. Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are actively involved in management, while Barron Trump is listed as the project's "DeFi visionary." Initial co-founders Zachary Folkman and Chase Herro handle day-to-day operations. The Aqua 1 investment, following closely on the Abu Dhabi MGX deal, intensifies concerns among government ethics experts and critics of the Trump administration. They argue that these substantial foreign investments, particularly from nations with sovereign wealth funds and strategic interests, into a company enriching the sitting President's family create significant potential for influence peddling and conflicts of interest. The administration and WLF maintain there are no conflicts, pointing to Trump's assets being in a trust managed by his children.

Jefferson Capital valued at $1.2 billion after strong Nasdaq debut
Private equity-backed Jefferson Capital has secured a valuation of $1.2 billion after its shares rose 26.7% in their Nasdaq debut on Thursday, signaling a steady recovery in investor appetite for listings with strong fundamentals. The consumer debt collector's shares opened at $19 apiece, above its offer price of $15 per share. The Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company and some existing investors raised $150 million by selling 10 million shares in the IPO. The US IPO market has recovered in recent weeks after President Donald Trump's shifting trade policies rattled investors and froze new listings earlier this year. The rebound is likely to be selective, led by high-quality and long-anticipated issuers, IPOX research associate Lukas Muehlbauer said. Jefferson's total revenue jumped 34.1 per cent to $433.3 million in 2024 compared with the previous year, continuing a steady trajectory since 2019. The debut mirrors strong first-day performances last week of cancer diagnostic firm Caris Life and Slide Insurance . Stablecoin issuer Circle Internet and digital bank Chime also made stellar debuts earlier this month. But companies such as eToro, Voyager, and Omada, hot on debut, are trading below opening price as of last close. "The initial pop is often fueled by the scarcity of an allocation, while the subsequent trading helps establish a more sustainable, long-term market price. Ultimately, this dynamic is less about fading interest and more about the market undertaking a healthy process of price discovery," said Muehlbauer. Founded in 2002, Jefferson purchases and manages unpaid consumer debts in the U.S., Canada, UK and Latin America. It helps banks, credit card issuers and other lenders recover debt. The company, which competes with PRA Group and Encore Capital Group in its core U.S. market, was acquired by U.S.-based private equity firm J.C. Flowers in 2018.
