Crypto exchange WazirX is betting on artificial intelligence-powered products, futures trading and an enhanced customer experience to drive growth as it seeks to regain market share following its court-approved restructuring after last year's USD 235 million cyber attack. Founder Nischal Shetty said the exchange is preparing to launch "WazirX AI", an artificial intelligence assistant that will allow users to interact with the platform through natural language commands rather than navigating traditional trading interfaces. "I think that's the future, where instead of trying to learn how a trading interface operates, where the stop losses are, how do you fill up a form...

Call him the Trader in Chief. Recent presidents have stayed away from trading stocks in companies whose fortunes they could lift or scuttle with the stroke of a pen, but Donald Trump smashed that precedent in the first quarter of this year with more than 3,600 buy and sell orders, many of them involving companies whose profits have been directly impacted by his decisions as head of the government. Among the Trump trades in a recent report filed with a federal ethics agency was as much as USD 6 million in Nvidia, whose advanced chips Trump approved for sale to China last year. His portfolio also scooped up stocks of several US military suppliers impacted by the Iran war, including Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman. "If he were defence secretary, he would be committing a crime," said Richard Painter, the chief White House ethics adviser in the George W Bush administration and a big critic of congressional trading, too. "Technically he can do this, but it is ...
