Grvt Launches "Strategies", World's First Compliant Peer-to-Peer On-chain Investment Marketplace
The contemporary investment landscape presents mounting hurdles for ordinary retail investors. According to The World Economic Forum, a si gnificant part of the global population [1] does not invest in capital markets due to the lack of access, education, and trust; the rapidly growing private markets have been historically limited to institutions and wealthy individuals for access.
"We believe growing your wealth should feel as natural as sending a message or booking a ride," said Hong Yea, Co-Founder and CEO of Grvt. "Grvt Strategies is our bold step toward a future where anyone can access investment opportunities that were once reserved for institutions and the elites."
Accessible Investing Powered by Blockchain, Governed by Smart Contracts
While peer-to-peer models have transformed lending and payments, investing has remained largely siloed. Access to sophisticated strategies has been limited by opaque gatekeeping, high minimums, and regulatory complexity.
To shake up the status-quo, Grvt built Strategies entirely on its secure blockchain, powered by ZKsync technology, using smart contract logic to automate the entire investment lifecycle. This means every step, from accepting deposits to distributing profits, operates transparently through programmable rules, eliminating the need for manual processes or intermediaries.
Strategy Managers can deploy their strategies more efficiently, and investors gain clear visibility into where their funds are going. By eliminating traditional hurdles like opaque administration and high operational costs, Grvt Strategies makes sophisticated investing both accessible and trustless for everyone.
All Strategies are on-chain and non-custodial, enabling investors to engage directly with Strategy Managers without intermediaries. Historical performance, methodology, and allocations are also visible on-chain.
Now, retail users can directly allocate any amount of capital to a curation of Strategies – typically out of reach for individual investors – ranging from AI-driven trading vaults to professionally managed thematic portfolios, all built and managed by verified Strategy Managers.
An Initial Cohort of Industry Leaders
Grvt Strategy Managers represent a mix of solid TradFi experience and native crypto and DeFi participation. The first cohort includes 6 Strategy Managers, among them are:
Ampersan, a leading liquidity provider in digital assets founded by ex-Optiver members (one of the largest market making firms in the world), having supported over $400 billion volume since inception;
AllDeFi, an active alpha strategy provider on DeFi, backed by a team of seasoned quantitative traders from one of the most performing hedge funds, with a proven track record of consistently delivering returns in volatile markets, bringing institutional-grade expertise directly to decentralized finance;
b-cube.ai, a VASP-regulated AI-driven crypto quantitative trading platform that democratizes access to sophisticated algorithmic trading strategies – traditionally reserved for hedge funds – with years of experience in finance, portfolio management, and quantitative trading;
Rogue Traders, a group of professional traders who have been trading prop and running strategies for hedge funds for years, now mentoring a new generation of traders through the Rogue Trader Academy.
Four additional Strategies will go live in July 2025, and 15 Strategy Managers are expected to join later this year. The total TVL is expected to grow to at least $100 million by the end of 2025.
"This isn't just another trading platform, it's an open marketplace for modern wealth creation," Yea added. "We want to remove complexity and create an environment where everyone has a fair shot at growing their wealth, and the launch of Grvt Strategies leads the way to realize our vision. We're excited to welcome the wide array of industry leaders on board. Their recognition and participation are crucial to the success of this new concept."
Early Access and Incentives
To celebrate the launch, early investors will enjoy a 20% APR booster, as well as bonus EcoPoints redeemable toward Grvt's upcoming token airdrop, the offer is valid until July 29.
Grvt Strategies is available now on Grvt website and web app; the release of mobile version is planned for Q4 2025.
Daniel Ku, CEO of Ampersan, commented, "We've worked with Grvt since their Mainnet to bring a liquid and high-performing platform to market. The launch of Grvt Strategies marks a new chapter for accessible and exceptional investments and a significant step for Ampersan's immersion in the maturing digital asset landscape. Together, we're building a platform where liquidity and transparency work hand in hand to foster a healthier ecosystem."
Guruprasad Venkatesha, Co-Founder and CEO of b-cube.ai, said, "b-cube.ai was founded with the mission to democratize access to sophisticated algorithmic trading strategies traditionally reserved for hedge funds. The introduction of Grvt Strategies is exactly the vehicle we've been waiting for. We are thrilled to make our library of strategies and our unique AI-human collaboration model directly available to everyday investors, and we're excited to watch this initiative grow."
Shane Oglow, Co-Founder, Rogue Traders, said, "At Rogue Traders, our motto is simple: Break rules, build wealth. We know the markets inside out, and we're on a mission to share our years of experience and expertise with a wider, more novice audience. Grvt Strategies presents a favorable model for everyone. We are exhilarated to be early joiners and backers of an initiative that holds tremendous potential for future growth."

Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge Operations Remain Suspended Pending Outcome of CIRB Process
Rolling cancellations now extend to the afternoon of August 17, 2025 MONTRÉAL, August 16, 2025 /CNW/ - Air Canada today said all flights of Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge remain suspended pending the outcome of a Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) process related to a directive by the Government of Canada ordering binding arbitration in the company's contract negotiations with its flight attendants. Customers whose flights are cancelled are being notified of the cancellations and offered options that include a full refund, a future travel credit or rebooking on another airline. Those whose flights are cancelled are strongly advised not to go to the airport unless they have a confirmed booking on a flight by another carrier. In response to a labour disruption by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) that led to a strike on August 16, Air Canada has been cancelling flights on a rolling basis. At present, all flights by Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge are cancelled until the afternoon (EDT) of August 17, 2025. Air Canada Express flights operated by Jazz or PAL continue to operate as normal. Air Canada deeply regrets the disruption's impact on customers. Additional customer information, including an FAQ, is available Air Canada is Canada's largest airline, the country's flag carrier and a founding member of Star Alliance, the world's most comprehensive air transportation network.

Statement from Minister Hajdu Français
GATINEAU, QC, Aug. 16, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario, issued the following statement regarding the collective bargaining negotiations between Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE): "After eight months of negotiations by the parties, and after meeting with both parties last night and urging them to work hard to reach a deal, it is disappointing to have to conclude today that Air Canada and CUPE flight attendants are at an impasse and remain unable to resolve their dispute. The government firmly believes that the best deals are reached by the parties at the bargaining table. It has now become clear that this dispute won't be resolved at the table. Canadians are increasingly finding themselves in very difficult situations and the strike is rapidly impacting the Canadian economy. Flight attendants play a critical role in keeping Canadian families and workers safe as they travel. It is important that they be compensated fairly at all times. The enormous impact of a nationwide labour disruption of this scale is already being felt by Canadians and visitors to our country. This impact will grow significantly with a prolonged dispute. This nationwide labour disruption is impeding the movement of passengers and critical cargo. In a year in which Canadian families and businesses have already experienced too much disruption and uncertainty, this is not the time to add additional challenges and disruptions to their lives and our economy. Canadians rely on air travel to connect families, workers, and communities to each other and the world. Despite significant supports from the government, these parties have been unable to resolve their differences in a timely manner. The government must act to preserve stability and supply chains in this unique and uncertain economic context. That is why I exercised my authorities under section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to direct the Canada Industrial Relations Board to arbitrate this dispute. I am exercising this authority because it is critical to maintaining and securing industrial peace, protecting Canadians and promoting conditions to resolve the dispute. Despite the parties' resolution of several key differences, the CIRB is best positioned to help them find a solution on the outstanding items. Accordingly, I have asked the Board to assist the parties in reaching a settlement of the outstanding terms of their collective agreement by imposing final and binding arbitration and to extend the terms of the existing collective agreement until a new one is determined by the arbitrator. This decision will help make sure that hundreds of thousands of Canadians and visitors to our country are not impacted because of cancelled flights. Further, the shipments of critical goods such as pharmaceuticals and organ tissue, over 40% of which are moved by Air Canada, should continue to reach their destinations. Once again, I urge the parties to work towards a fair and timely resolution."

Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence begins new academic year with largest-ever cohort of 400+ students
ABU DHABI,UAE, Aug. 16, 2025 /CNW/ -- Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) has welcomed its largest cohort for its Fall 2025 intake, enrolling 403 new students. This includes its inaugural undergraduate class, new graduate cohorts in existing programmes in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Robotics, and the first intakes into the Master of Science in Statistics & Data Science and Master in Applied Artificial Intelligence. This semester received more than 8,000 applications across the university's Bachelor and graduate programmes, yielding an acceptance rate of 5 per cent, and reinforcing the university's prestigious position and ability to attract the best talent in the UAE and from around the world. Timothy Baldwin, MBZUAI Provost and Professor of Natural Language Processing, said: "This year, MBZUAI welcomes our largest cohort of graduate students alongside our inaugural undergraduate class. Artificial intelligence is transforming the world at a pace that vastly outstrips traditional education models. To realise its full global potential, MBZUAI invests heavily in reviewing and updating our programmes to reflect modern AI research methodology and workflows, based on our bleeding-edge AI research credentials and grounded in societal and industrial needs. As a young institution, MBZUAI has already earned a place among the world's top 10 AI universities based on our research credentials. With the introduction of our undergraduate and Master's in Applied AI programmes, we continue to build world-leading programmes aligned with the UAE's National Strategy for AI 2031 and supporting Abu Dhabi's rapidly growing AI ecosystem." The newly launched Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence programme offers two streams, AI for Business and AI for Engineering, combining technical rigor with leadership, hands-on entrepreneurship, and in-situ industry experience. The first class consists of 115 undergraduate students from more than 25 countries, over 25 per cent of which are UAE Nationals. Professor Baldwin said: "The jobs of tomorrow are being shaped by AI today and we must ensure that future generations are equipped with the tools and skills to navigate that shift. Our extraordinarily talented students don't just learn about AI, but learn with it, through it, and for it. This is an extraordinary value proposition across all our programmes, but especially for our undergraduate students, who will be studying towards a bachelor's degree in AI that I believe sets a new global benchmark in terms of technical depth, real-world relevance, and the high-end AI job-readiness of the students." The key highlights for the Fall 2025 intake includes MBZUAI's total student body totaling more than 700, representing over 47 nationalities. Nationalities represented in the undergraduate programmes are Bulgaria, China, Egypt, Georgia, Greece, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, the UAE and the UK. Postgraduate programmes bring together students from Canada, China, Egypt, France, India, Italy, Kazakhstan, Serbia, UAE, UK, USA and Vietnam. MBZUAI continues to attract exceptional students, with 151 of the incoming graduate students (27.5 per cent) holding degrees from the world's top 100 computer science universities (CSRankings), including Cornell University, Tsinghua University, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of California, San Diego. In welcoming the new students, MBZUAI has begun its immersive Orientation Week, introducing new students to the university's culture of academic excellence, AI-driven innovation, and community engagement. The programme combines academic sessions, mentorship activities, and cultural programming celebrating UAE heritage and life in Abu Dhabi. Highlights include the Orientation Mini Fair, where internal and external partners showcase resources for academic success, career development, and student life. Orientation Week is designed to foster a strong sense of belonging and connection, laying the foundation for academic success and life-changing university experiences. For more information, visit
