Blackalgo Unveils Its New AI-Powered Crypto Trading Platform
Dubai, UAE, May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blackalgo, an algorithmic trading company founded in 2005 in the United States, announces the launch of its crypto trading platform driven by artificial intelligence. This firm, which first tackled conventional markets before pivoting to crypto in 2017, now operates in Dubai under a proprietary trading license granted by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). Blackalgo invests its own capital in these markets. It also offers non-custodial tools for users who wish to keep complete control over their assets. In doing so, the company prioritizes security and transparency, which it views as the cornerstones of success.
History and Shift Toward Crypto
It initially focused on automated forex and other traditional strategies, then progressively ventured into Bitcoin and altcoins in 2017. Its relocation to Dubai aimed at placing its operations under VARA's regulatory umbrella.
This authority supervises companies that engage their own funds in the digital asset ecosystem. The goal: ensuring compliance, thus reassuring investors. Since obtaining its proprietary license, Blackalgo has followed strict internal guidelines.
AI-Powered Trading Platform
Blackalgo's new solution relies on automated trading powered by artificial intelligence. The algorithm continuously scans market data, detects trends, and executes orders without constant human input. Users can securely connect their accounts—on Binance, Bybit, IC Markets, Pepperstone, or MT4—to the platform via API.
Since it is non-custodial, the platform never holds user funds. Assets remain on the investor's personal account, with Blackalgo authorized only to place trades, not withdraw capital.
'Our mission has always been about innovation, security, and user autonomy. Holding a proprietary trading license demonstrates our reliability, while letting clients maintain control of their assets fosters greater trust,' says Olivier Becquet, founder of Blackalgo.
Verified Performance and Risk Management
Blackalgo reveals an audited track record dating back to September 2018. Over time, it has averaged a 6% monthly return. Such past performance remains purely historical, offering no guarantee of future results. Markets shift. Strategies evolve and the algorithm does too.
Robust risk management is pivotal. Stop-loss measures, prudent allocations, and volatility safeguards operate within the platform. The aim is to tackle crypto market swings without draining users' capital.
Security and VARA Compliance
AES-256 encryption secures the API and confidential data. Users can enable multi-factor authentication to protect account access. The company also conducts regular penetration tests and audits.
A proprietary license from VARA compels rigorous governance. Blackalgo must prove the legality of its operations and the resilience of its systems, addressing regulatory expectations.
'We want our clients to feel confident. Our proprietary trading license under VARA underscores our transparent practices. We invest our own capital. We simply share our strategies with investors who wish to follow suit, yet their funds remain under their own control,' Becquet clarifies.
Blackalgo plans to open its platform to new users gradually. Those interested in getting priority access can sign up for the waitlist on the official website.
For investors seeking the benefits of AI insights while maintaining full authority over their funds, this approach strikes a balance of innovation, security, and user autonomy.

‘Godfather Of AI' Launches Nonprofit Focused On Safer Systems
Yoshua Bengio testifies on the importance of AI regulation at a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee ... More hearing in July 2023. Computer scientist Yoshua Bengio, often referred to as the 'godfather' of AI, has launched a nonprofit aimed at creating AI systems that prioritize safety over business priorities. The organization, called LawZero, 'was founded in response to evidence that today's frontier AI models are developing dangerous capabilities and behaviors, including deception, self-preservation and goal misalignment,' reads a statement posted to its website on Tuesday. 'LawZero's work will help to unlock the immense potential of AI in ways that reduce the likelihood of a range of known dangers associated with today's systems, including algorithmic bias, intentional misuse and loss of human control.' LawZero is structured as a nonprofit 'to ensure it is insulated from market and government pressures, which risk compromising AI safety,' the statement says. Bengio is a worldwide leader in AI and a co-recipient of the 2018 A.M. Turing Award, the Association for Computing Machinery's prestigious annual prize that's sometimes called the Nobel Prize of Computing. He won the award alongside two other deep-learning pioneers — Geoffrey Hinton, another 'godfather of AI' who worked at Google, and Yann LeCun — for conceptual and engineering breakthroughs, made over decades, that have positioned deep neural networks as a critical component of computing. While artificial intelligence has sparked considerable excitement across industries — and Bengio recognizes its potential as a driver of significant innovation — it's also led to mounting concerns about possible pitfalls. Generative AI tools are capable of producing text, images and video that spread almost instantly over social media and can be difficult to distinguish from the real thing. Bengio has called for slowing the development of AI systems to better understand and regulate them. 'There is no guarantee that someone in the foreseeable future won't develop dangerous autonomous AI systems with behaviors that deviate from human goals and values,' the University of Montreal professor wrote in a blog post announcing why he'd signed a 2023 open letter calling for a slowdown in the development of some AI tools. He has signed other such statements, and appeared in front of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law to outline the risks of AI misuse. Bengio also serves as scientific director at Mila (Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms), an artificial-intelligence research institute. Now, he'll add LawZero president and scientific director to his resume. LawZero says it's assembling a team of world-class AI researchers, though it did not immediately respond to a request for comment on who is included in that group. Together, the scientists are working on a system called Scientist AI, which LawZero calls a safer, more secure alternative to many of the commercial AI systems being developed and released today. Scientist AI is non-agentic, meaning it doesn't have agency or work autonomously, but instead behaves in response to human input and goals. 'Such AI systems could be used to provide oversight for agentic AI systems, accelerate scientific discovery and advance the understanding of AI risks and how to avoid them,' LawZero says. 'LawZero believes that AI should be cultivated as a global public good—developed and used safely towards human flourishing.'

Reddit Sues Anthropic Over AI Training Breach
Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) has filed a federal lawsuit against Anthropic, the Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)-backed creator of the Claude large language models, accusing the AI company of using Reddit's data without a license. The civil suit, reported by the Wall Street Journal, claims Anthropic trained its models on Reddit user content without permission and hit the platform's servers more than 100,000 times. According to the filing in California, Reddit attempted to negotiate a data licensing agreement with Anthropic but those discussions failed. Reddit has struck similar licensing deals with Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and OpenAI. It argues that Anthropic knowingly used its platform to build AI products without securing the proper rights or user consent. The legal move comes shortly after Anthropic released new modelsClaude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4aimed at advancing AI capabilities in coding, reasoning, and agent-based tasks. Shares of Reddit rose 7.5% in Wednesday afternoon trading following the announcement. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Weather Company CEO wants AI to help you know when to walk your dog
Weather Company CEO Rohit Agarwal said that AI brings new opportunities for forecasting but keeping humans in the loop is their "secret sauce" during Axios' AI+ Summit in New York on Wednesday. Why it matters: AI is improving forecasting and has the potential to help combat climate change, boost public safety and offer hyperlocal forecasts. Zoom in: Agarwal said AI has the potential to solve problems for businesses and enterprises that are highly dependent on the weather to serve their customers. For example, Agarwal explored the possibility of telling pet owners the specific day of the week or time of day that walks should take place to keep pets safe. "Wouldn't it be fun if we actually deliver that message to you, knowing that you're likely to have a pet, that you're likely to choose in the morning or afternoon walk, and that you have the type of dog that actually can use a lot of exercise?" Agarwal told Axios' Ashley Gold. But as companies race to adopt the technology, human expertise plays a crucial role. Driving the news: Agarwal said the Weather Company's AI models are one of their "superpowers," along with the human element. "We think that our secret sauce is also how we apply talented scientists and meteorologists to the formula to ensure that there is checks and balances against what those models are effectively communicating and computing so that we can ensure that we are delivering an accurate forecast for our customers," Agarwal said. As the Trump administration takes a sledgehammer to the federal government, including at NOAA and the National Weather Service, Agarwal said the Weather Company leverages relationships with those agencies to deliver "world class forecast data."
