Think Like Vitalik, Trade Like Buffett: Edgen Reconceptualizes How Retail Investors Navigate Digital Assets
HONG KONG, July 23, 2025 /CNW/ -- Edgen, an AI-driven market intelligence platform, is redefining how retail investors navigate digital assets. Edgen's foundational architecture, powered by its proprietary Efficient Decision Guidance Model (EDGM), is purpose-built to process vast market inputs from on-chain transactions to social media pulses and return coherent, contextual guidance within seconds. Where traditional analytics platforms rely on charts and data grids, Edgen frames insight in motion, real-time, conversational, and synthesized.
Today, Edgen launches its latest feature, Megabrain Investors' Picks, a first-of-its-kind feature that simulates how globally recognized investors and public figures might evaluate specific crypto assets. With one query, users can receive AI-generated opinions "as if" they were speaking to Warren Buffett, Vitalik Buterin, Nancy Pelosi, Binance's CZ, and other widely followed financial minds.
Megabrain Investors' Picks addresses the growing need for retail investors, who are often operating with limited context and are experiencing information overload, struggling to make confident decisions in a highly volatile market.
It is not a chatbot nor a parody, and not quite financial advice either, although for many retail investors overwhelmed by opinion noise, it might function like something close. At its core, Megabrain compresses massive amounts of public information like speeches, historical decisions, known holdings, quotes, etc., into stylized, fast-response simulations. The voices are fictionalized, but the tone and positioning reflect a very real investing logic.
"Retail investors are over-informed but under-aligned," said Sean Tao, CEO & Co-Founder of Edgen. "There's no shortage of analysis online, but what's often missing is personality-guided inference, such as how someone like Warren Buffett would react, not just what the market did. These nuances are valuable, especially for those making decisions alone."
The feature doesn't bury users in data, nor does it attempt to predict prices. Instead, it offers contextual tone, the kind that institutional players absorb over years of watching a portfolio manager speak, or observing how certain personalities lean when markets shift.
Unlike static market reports or long-form analysis, Megabrain Investors' Picks invites rapid comparison. By asking the same question across multiple personalities, users can watch the philosophical spread unfold. For example, Buffett's caution against Trump's enthusiasm, or Buterin's nuance against CZ's pragmatism. It becomes a live case study in sentiment divergence, delivered in natural language and without pretense.
Edgen has already been gradually positioning itself as a crypto-native insights layer with mass accessibility features like Edgen Search (real-time token data plus conversational summaries), Portfolio AI, and narrative tools that interpret sentiment shifts. Megabrain adds the missing layer: Voice Opinions. It may be simulated, but it is specific, sharp, and occasionally surprising.

Small Canadian exporters are covering cost of U.S. tariffs: CFIB urges government to release retaliatory tariff revenue if trade deal not reached by Friday Français
TORONTO , July 29, 2025 /CNW/ - Most small businesses are absorbing some or all of the costs associated with U.S. tariffs, according to new data by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). With a deadline for a new trade deal looming on August 1 , CFIB is calling on Ottawa to release Canada's retaliatory tariff revenues to support small businesses. On imports from the U.S., nearly seven in 10 small businesses paid the full Canadian tariff, with the median cost of $9,000 . On exports, 63% covered costs directly or shared them with their U.S. customers, paying a median of $25,000 . "It is clear that most small exporters have had to eat much of the cost of U.S. tariffs in order to keep their American customers," said Dan Kelly , CFIB president. Ottawa has collected billions in additional tariff revenue on U.S. imports compared to last year. "If no deal is reached by Friday, Canada must immediately return the revenue collected from our counter tariffs to small businesses to help them weather the ongoing harm and massive economic uncertainty," Kelly said. "Many have been holding out, delaying critical decisions hoping for enough certainty to plan for the future. Without an immediate deal, many are facing some terrible choices, including laying off key workers." CFIB has sent a letter to the federal government, urging it to consider several options to providing financial relief to businesses. These include a rebate program for affected businesses, a temporary reduction in the small business tax rate from 9% to 0% or lowering Employment Insurance premiums for employers. CFIB's latest petition , which has 10,000 signatures, also calls on Ottawa to deal with unfinished business and lower the costs of doing business. "So far, the federal government's announced support measures and tariff exemptions have fallen short of bringing desperately needed cost relief," said Corinne Pohlmann , Executive Vice-President of Advocacy at CFIB. "We also hope that the government will take a careful look at its counter-tariff plans when negotiations conclude. Although small businesses have been supportive of Canada's counter-tariffs while discussions are under way, ongoing tariffs would have permanent consequences on small businesses and the broader Canadian economy." Methodology Final results for the Your Voice July survey. The online survey was conducted online July 10-24 , number of respondents = 2,090. For comparison purposes, a probability sample with the same number of respondents would have a margin of error of at most +/- 2.14%, 19 times out of 20. About CFIB The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is Canada's largest association of small and medium-sized businesses with 100,000 members across every industry and region. CFIB is dedicated to increasing business owners' chances of success by driving policy change at all levels of government, providing expert advice and tools, and negotiating exclusive savings.

New Concordia AI Forecast Warns Policy Reform Crucial to Help Moderate Canadian Home Prices
BURLINGTON, ON, July 29, 2025 /CNW/ - As federal, provincial, and municipal governments race to develop innovative approaches to expand Canada's housing supply, a new study from the John Molson School of Business at Concordia University identifies that high-impact tools to boost housing completions are within reach of policymakers. Supported by the Equiton Research Fund in Real Estate, Breaking Ground: AI-Driven Analysis of How Policy Reform Can Unleash Canadian Housing Supply explores how rising home prices are shaped by policy decisions and market forces and identifies data-backed strategies to begin to realign housing supply with underlying demand. "This research validates what housing advocates have long known — that minimizing policy barriers and lowering construction costs is crucial to addressing the housing crisis," says Christopher Wein, Chief Operating Officer of Equiton Developments, Equiton's in-house development division. "For the first time, we can actually see the impact of these obstacles quantified in real terms. That's the kind of data stakeholders need to confidently start shifting policy in the right direction." Head researcher Dr. Erkan Yönder, Associate Professor of Real Estate and Finance, adds: "There is nothing easy about addressing one of Canada's biggest generational issues. However, we show that streamlining approval frameworks and reducing red tape can be a low-cost first step that could be quickly implemented for meaningful results. The cost of inaction is too great to ignore the tools we already have." Key Takeaways Across Canada, a 10% reduction in building restrictions can raise annual home completions by almost the same percentage. A 10% reduction in approval delays adds another 3%. A 10% increase in input costs — primarily materials, but also attributable to taxes, fees, and labour — can reduce housing completions by 25% to 35%, especially for apartment-style housing. Under current trends, Toronto median home prices can reach $1.8M by 2032. Doubling completions could moderate prices to $1.6M. In Vancouver, home prices may exceed $2.8M by 2032 at the current trajectory. Aggressive supply increases could moderate prices closer to $2.5M. Montréal prices rise across all scenarios, while Calgary's price growth is more responsive to completions and population shifts. The new findings complement earlier research by Yönder and his team, which used artificial intelligence (AI) to project long-term rent pricing trends in Canada's major urban centres including Toronto, Vancouver, Montréal, and Calgary. Find the full report at Dr. Erkan Yönder is an Associate Professor of Real Estate Finance and serves as the Director of the Jonathan Wener Centre for Real Estate at the John Molson School of Business, Concordia University. With a primary focus on real estate finance, Erkan's expertise lies in commercial real estate and sustainable real estate. Erkan's research has found its way into esteemed academic journals and has secured multiple grants from renowned institutions such as the National Pension Hub (NPH) and the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA). Notably, his research earned him the Nick Tyrrell Real Estate Research Prize in the UK and the distinguished Best Published Article Award from Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), a United Nations-supported initiative. Erkan has had the privilege of presenting his scholarly work at some of the world's leading universities, including MIT, Yale University, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and Cornell University. Erkan received his PhD degree in Finance and Real Estate at Maastricht University. Christopher Wein is Chief Operating Officer of Equiton Developments.
