Quant Insight completes series C funding
Quant Insight, the breakthrough macro factor analytics company serving institutional investors globally, announced completion of its Series A funding round led by 7RIDGE. 0 This content is provided by an external author without editing by Finextra. It expresses the views and opinions of the author. The investment will accelerate Quant Insight's global expansion, enhance its unique macro factor risk models, and strengthen its position as the leading provider of macro intelligence for modern investment management. Solving the Hidden Macro Risk Challenge Quant Insight addresses a critical gap in portfolio management: the inability to quantify macro exposures that drive over 50% of equity returns during market stress. While traditional risk models focus on equity style factors, macro risks drive returns during market volatility. "Macro factors increasingly challenge equity investors' ability to generate alpha, yet they remain hard to quantify," said Mahmood Noorani, CEO of Quant Insight. "Our platform provides this critical missing piece—quantifiable macro factor intelligence that complements traditional style factor models." Strategic Partnership for Fintech Excellence 7RIDGE brings exceptional domain expertise with a proven track record scaling enterprise-facing technologies for trading, capital markets, and investment management. The firm's portfolio includes Digital Asset Holdings, Trading Technologies, and Raft Technologies. "Quant Insight represents exactly the type of transformative technology that makes the global financial system more robust and efficient," said Carsten Kengeter, CEO of 7RIDGE. "Quant Insight's macro risk analytics fill a genuine market need with rigorous quantitative methodology. We're excited to leverage our capital markets expertise to help scale their platform globally." Proven Technology Quant Insight's platform provides three core solutions: Macro Factor Equity Risk Model (MFERM): Decomposes portfolio returns into explainable macro components and provides clarity on macro exposure Cross-Asset Valuation Engine: Identifies macro dislocations and fair value gaps across asset classes Asset Management Solutions: Construction of active ETFs and risk hedging products The technology covers 13,000+ global assets with API integration and partnerships with leading risk platforms. The Series A funding will enable global expansion, enhanced platform capabilities with machine learning, scaled operations, and new applications for macro intelligence.

Dogecoin Bulls Defend 16 Cent Support as Elon Musk's X Payments Speculations Loom
Dogecoin is showing fresh signs of strength after rebounding 17% from weekend lows, with strong buying pressure defending the critical $0.16 support zone. The bounce comes as geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty continue to weigh on markets, yet DOGE appears to be building a higher low structure that could set the stage for further upside. News Background The broader crypto market has been rocked by escalating global tensions and unstable trade dynamics, but Dogecoin has managed to hold ground after a sharp decline to $0.142. In the 24-hour period ending June 26, DOGE stabilized above $0.165 and closed at $0.1657—up nearly 3% from the session low. Coinbase recently added support for DeFi applications using wrapped Dogecoin (wDOGE) on its Layer-2 Base network, potentially expanding the token's use case. At the same time, speculative buzz continues to swirl around Elon Musk's X platform, which has now secured money transmitter licenses in 39 U.S. states. While Dogecoin integration remains unconfirmed, Musk's historical influence on the token remains a factor in market sentiment. Price Action DOGE traded between $0.1628 and $0.1677 over the last 24 hours, representing a 2.97% swing. The asset found strong support at $0.1628 during the 15:00 hour, with nearly 300 million DOGE traded as buyers stepped in. A sharp rejection at $0.1677 later defined resistance. In the final hour of trading, DOGE climbed 0.98% from $0.1645 to $0.1661. Key momentum came at 01:28 and 01:34 UTC, with volume surging to 10.7M and 20.1M DOGE, respectively—confirming buyer interest and pushing the price to a local high of $0.1664. The session ended with price consolidating above $0.1659 as volatility cooled. Technical Analysis Recap • DOGE traded within a $0.0049 range ($0.1628–$0.1677), up 2.97% over the session • $0.1628 confirmed as strong support with volume nearing 300M DOGE during buy-in • Resistance formed at $0.1677 during high-volume rejection in the 14:00 hour • Price closed at $0.1657, forming a higher low and suggesting bullish continuation • 60-minute gain of 0.98% from $0.1645 to $0.1661 during final session hour • Volume spikes at 01:28 and 01:34 confirmed strength, pushing to $0.1664 high • Price stabilized above $0.1659 in final 15 minutes with decreasing volatility Sign in to access your portfolio
