Alpine Funded Celebrates First Anniversary with Major Milestone and Global Growth
CHAM, Switzerland, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- One year since launching, Alpine Funded has established itself as one of Europe's most trusted proprietary trading firms. Headquartered in Switzerland, the firm has attracted traders from around the world with its straightforward funding models, transparent rules, and commitment to building long-term relationships with serious traders. Founded by Marco Hess and Alessandro Ciccone, both traders themselves, Alpine Funded was built with one goal: to offer a more practical, trader-focused alternative to the traditional prop firm model. A Year of Firsts Alpine Funded entered the market in 2024 as the first proprietary trading firm based in Switzerland, bringing credibility and regulatory proximity to a space often dominated by offshore operators. But being first in geography wasn't enough. The firm also set a new standard by launching the industry's first "Second Chance" feature, giving traders the option to reset their challenge account, a move aimed at reducing unnecessary churn and helping committed traders stay in the game. Alpine Funded offers flexibility with two funding options for traders. They can opt for instant funding beginning at $99, or pursue a two-phase evaluation challenge with funding based on achieving performance goals. Whether a trader prefers to skip the evaluation process and start live trading immediately, or take the challenge route for higher scaling potential and profit share. These innovations have helped Alpine carve out a clear identity in a competitive industry: one focused on building long-term relationships with traders, not just selling access to capital. "The last 12 months have confirmed what we believed from day one: traders want funding partners they can trust," said Marco Hess, Co-Founder of Alpine Funded. "This anniversary is a milestone, but it's just the beginning of what we're building." Building a Reputation for Trust In an industry where trust and transparency matter more than ever, Alpine Funded has also built a strong reputation with its trader base. "This past year has been about building trust," said co-founder Alessandro Ciccone. "We started Alpine Funded with a long-term vision, to create a firm traders can rely on, with fair conditions and consistent support. We're proud of the progress we've made and committed to raising the standard even further in the years ahead." As Alpine Funded moves into year two, the team is focused on product upgrades, tech enhancements, and continued trader support, while sticking to the core values that got them here: fairness, clarity, and performance over promises.

Amrut-2: New drinking water project for Guntur
Guntur: In a move to address the growing drinking water needs of the city, state govt has given green signal to take up new drinking water project under Amrut-2 scheme . The project will be taken up with a cost of 330 crore under Concessionaire Hybrid Annuity Model (Cham). The govt has moved to Cham in order to lessen its burden. The contract agency will take up the project with its own funds and recover the amount with annual interest in a phased manner after completion of the project. The govt had also set a condition that the contract agency would be responsible for the maintenance of the project for 10 years. The govt would not pay any additional charges towards maintenance of the scheme. Meanwhile, the GMC proposed to construct a new filtration facility near Gorantla village. About 16 acres of land has been earmarked for the new project. The city's entire drinking supplies depend on the existing filtration facility in Takkellapadu reservoir located on the outskirts of the city. The facility has a capacity to treat about 130 megaliters per day (MLD) water while another plant at Sangam Jagarlamudi village has capacity of 13 MLD. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like La Libertad: Calcula cuánto podrías ganar invirtiendo solo $100 en Amazon CFD Market Sunny Reservar Ahora Undo However, the GMC is unable to tap more than 100MLD from both the plants while the city's requirements shot up to nearly 160-200 MLD. The civic authorities are anticipating that the city's drinking water requirements will further increase in the coming days particularly in the wake of development of capital city. With Guntur and Vijayawada being the nearest cities to the capital city, people are likely to migrate to cities in view of the existing infrastructure such as healthcare and educational institutions. "We are planning the new scheme keeping in view the requirements of the city for another two to three decades," said commissioner Puli Srinivasulu. In fact, the residents in the 10-villages that were merged into Guntur city about a decade ago, were unable to fetch sufficient drinking water from the civic body's facilities. The GMC planned an over-head reservoir on a hillock near Gorantla with a view to supply water to the neighbouring area via gravity..

Northwest restaurant owner arrested for illegally selling alcohol, DC police say
WASHINGTON () — D.C. police announced that officers arrested the owner of a Northwest restaurant for illegally selling alcohol after their license was revoked. In a news release sent out Wednesday, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said that throughout 2023 and 2024, detectives investigated several violent crimes at, or 'directly related to,' Moi Moi, a restaurant serving West African cuisine in the 1600 block of K St. Police noted that the crimes included a homicide, multiple shootings, assaults and Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration (ABCA) violations. Go-Go Museum and Café officially opens its doors in DC In February 2024, the incidents caused the ABCA to revoke Moi Moi's license to sell alcohol. The administration also barred the restaurant's owner, Howsoon Cham, 54, of Silver Spring, Md., from acquiring another license to sell alcohol for five years. Despite this, on Feb. 3 of this year, D.C. police responded to Moi Moi for a reported shooting in front of the establishment. A short time later, authorities said they learned that the restaurant had continued to sell alcohol without a proper license. As a result of the investigation, on Feb. 15, officers arrested Cham, charging him with the sale of alcohol without a license. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
