Bagaimana Peringatan Iran Trump dan Penurunan Harga Bitcoin Memicu Liquidasi Massal Kripto
Ringkasan Singkat Total liquidasi kripto di pasar melebihi $657 juta dalam 24 jam Posisi panjang menderita kerugian terbanyak, dengan $584 juta hilang Ethereum memimpin kerugian sebesar $256 juta, diikuti Bitcoin pada $180 juta Bitcoin turun di bawah $77.000, memperpanjang kerugian mingguan hingga 5,59% Peringatan Trump mengenai serangan militer AS ke Iran mendorong pasar ke mode risiko menurun (SeaPRwire) - Pasar kripto mengalami penyusutan tajam dalam 24 jam terakhir ketika lebih dari $657 juta dalam liquidasi menggenangi pasar. Para pedagang posisi panjang menjadi korban utama. Menurut data dari Coinglass, 106.371 akun terlibat dalam liquidasi dalam sehari. Posisi panjang mencakup $584 juta dari total tersebut. Posisi pendek hanya rugi $73 juta, menjadikan ini sebagai pembersihan satu arah bagi para bull berleverage. Sumber: Coinglass Ethereum dan Bitcoin Memimpin Kerugian Ethereum menderita kerugian terbesar dibanding aset lainnya, dengan $256 juta dari posisi panjang yang hilang. Bitcoin mengikuti dengan $180 juta dalam liquidasi. Bersama-sama, dua cryptocurrency terbesar ini menyumbang sekitar dua pertiga dari kerugian total harian. Liquidasi tunggal terbesar adalah kontrak perpetual ETH/USDT di Bitget senilai $28,49 juta. Bitcoin sempat menguji zona resistensi $79.000 hingga $80.000 dan gagal memecahnya. Ketika penolakan itu berubah menjadi penurunan di bawah $77.000, hal itu memicu gelombang liquidasi paksa di berbagai pertukaran. Harga Bitcoin (BTC) Dalam waktu satu jam, $526 juta dari posisi ditutup. Beberapa laporan menyebutkan total liquidasi posisi panjang di akhir pekan melebihi $800 juta. Bitcoin kini turun 5,59% dalam seminggu. Ethereum turun di bawah $2.120, turun hampir 10% dalam tujuh hari terakhir. Solana jatuh 11,22% dalam periode yang sama menjadi $84,94. Total pasar kapitalisasi kripto melorot 0,93% menjadi sekitar $2,65 triliun. Peringatan Trump Menambah Tekanan Penurunan pasar ini tidak terjadi secara mandiri. Presiden Donald Trump menandaskan kemungkinan serangan militer AS ke Iran, yang mendorong para trader masuk ke mode risiko menurun sebelum pekan berakhir. Trump diharapkan akan mengadakan pertemuan di Ruang Situasi pada Selasa untuk meninjau opsi militer. Jika ketegangan meningkat lebih lanjut, volatilitas pada posisi kripto berleverage dapat terjadi. Pembentukan Kondisi di Balik Rasa Sakit Bitcoin telah mencatat sembilan hari berturut-turut masuk ETF sebelum penarikan ini, dengan total sekitar $2,12 miliar. Jenis beli semacam itu cenderung mendorong pedagang berleverage untuk memasuki posisi panjang dengan harapan tren akan terus berlanjut. ETF Bitcoin langsung menarik investor yang tidak menggunakan leverage. $2,12 miliar itu merepresentasikan belanja nyata, bukan posisi spekulatif. Namun, pedagang berleverage yang mengikuti momentum tertangkap saat harga berbalik. Zona dukungan jangka pendek sekarang berada antara $75.000 dan $77.000. Para bull perlu menahan rentang ini. Zona $79.000 hingga $80.000 adalah yang harus direbut kembali agar momentum bisa pulih. Data aliran ETF dalam beberapa hari ke depan akan dipantau dekat. Sembilan hari berturut-turut masuk ETF telah mempersiapkan dasar bagi rally ini, dan bagaimana aliran itu bergerak sekarang bisa menentukan apa yang akan datang selanjutnya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Peluncuran Perpetual Futures Pre-IPO SpaceX di Hyperliquid – Cara Kerjanya
Ringkasan Singkat Token HYPE Hyperliquid naik 7% setelah Trade.xyz meluncurkan kontrak berjangka perpetual sintetis SpaceX sebelum IPO di platformnya. Kontrak SPCX-USDC diluncurkan dengan harga referensi $150, menyiratkan valuasi SpaceX sekitar $1,78 triliun, dan cepat bergerak naik hingga sekitar $203. Beda dengan produk saham tokenisasi yang menggunakan badan tujuan khusus (SPV), perpetual sintetis ini tidak melibatkan saham aktual — perbedaan hukum utama. Produk saham tokenisasi untuk Anthropic dan OpenAI di PreStocks jatuh sekitar 50% pekan lalu setelah kedua perusahaan itu menyatakan bahwa transfer saham melalui SPV batal. Pasar pre-IPO perp saat ini didominasi oleh spekulasi ritel, tetapi analis mengatakan mereka bisa menjadi alat penemuan harga jika likuiditas bertumbuh. (SeaPRwire) - Token HYPE Hyperliquid naik sekitar 7% dalam 24 jam pada hari Senin, meskipun bitcoin jatuh di bawah $77.000 dan sebagian besar kripto utama turun. Katalisnya adalah peluncuran pasar perpetual baru yang disintesis terkait SpaceX di platform Hyperliquid. Harga Hyperliquid (HYPE) Trade.xyz, platform berjangka perpetual terdesentralisasi yang dibangun di atas Hyperliquid, meluncurkan kontrak SPCX-USDC sekitar pukul 5:16 AM UTC pada 18 Mei. Kontrak terbuka dengan harga referensi sekitar $150, menyiratkan valuasi SpaceX sekitar $1,78 triliun berdasarkan jumlah saham yang terdaftar sepenuhnya sebanyak 11,87 miliar. PASAR PRE-IPO SPACEX DIBUKA DENGAN SINYAL VALUASI SEBESAR $2,2 TRILIUN Perpetual futures pra-IPO yang terkait SpaceX sekarang sudah aktif di Hyperliquid dengan ticker $SPCX, diluncurkan di $150/saham sebelum melonjak ke atas $200. Dengan harga saat ini, pasar menyiratkan valuasi mendekati… pic.twitter.com/4OlgtU5qrI — Coin Bureau (@coinbureau) May 18, 2026 Dalam beberapa jam, kontrak tersebut melonjak hingga $216 sebelum akhirnya ditutup di sekitar $202,89. Pasar mencatat volume 24-jam sebesar $33 juta dan minat terbuka (open interest) sebesar $21,8 juta dalam sesi pertamanya. SpaceX mengajukan permohonan rahasia ke SEC pada 1 April dan dilaporkan menargetkan valuasi antara $1,75 triliun dan $2 triliun untuk penawaran umum perdana-nya. Perusahaan juga memegang 8.285 bitcoin di gudang Coinbase Prime, posisi yang diperkirakan akan muncul dalam dokumen publik setelah formulir S-1 diserahkan. Apa yang Membuat Ini Berbeda dari Saham Tokenisasi Kontrak SPCX adalah perpetual sintetis, artinya tidak ada saham SpaceX aktual yang berpindah tangan. Para pedagang mengambil posisi berdasarkan harga implisit saham melalui derivatif yang menggunakan tingkat pendanaan (funding rates) dan umpan harga oracle untuk tetap melekat pada valuasi referensi. Struktur ini secara hukum berbeda dari model saham tokenisasi yang menyebabkan masalah sebelumnya. Produk tokenisasi untuk Anthropic dan OpenAI di PreStocks jatuh sekitar 50% pekan lalu setelah kedua perusahaan itu mengeluarkan peringatan bahwa transfer saham melalui badan tujuan khusus (SPV) batal berdasarkan anggaran dasar perusahaannya. Model SPV bergantung pada kepemilikan saham aktual. Perpetual sintetis tidak demikian, sehingga tidak ada yang bisa dibatalkan oleh perusahaan swasta dengan cara yang sama. Pasar yang Berkembang dengan Pertanyaan Nyata Trade.xyz meluncurkan perp pertamanya untuk pre-IPO pada awal Mei dengan Cerebras, produsen chip AI. Cerebras menetapkan harga IPO-nya sebesar $185 per saham dan mulai beredar di Nasdaq pada $350. Satu jam sebelum pembukaan, perp Trade.xyz untuk Cerebras menetapkan harga di sekitar $340 — hanya 3% di bawah harga pembukaan. Akurasi itu menarik perhatian. Pasar Cerebras menghasilkan volume perdagangan nominal sekitar $207 juta dalam dua minggu. Analis mengatakan model ini memiliki potensi tetapi datang dengan risiko nyata. Oracle penentu harga untuk perp pre-IPO sering dibangun dari transaksi sekunder dan tawaran tender, yang bisa terdistorsi. Jika perusahaan tetap privat selama bertahun-tahun tanpa konvergensi yang jelas seperti IPO, penetapan harga kontrak bisa lebih jauh dari realitas. Regulasi adalah pertanyaan lain yang belum terpecahkan. Banyak produk ini saat ini ditawarkan di luar negeri dan dibatasi geografis agar tidak sampai kepada pengguna AS. Jeff Dorman, ketua direksi investasi di Arca, menggambarkan pasar-pasar ini sebagai "pasar sentimen lebih daripada pasar penilaian fundamental" untuk saat ini, tetapi mengatakan bahwa bahkan pasar sentimen yang tidak sempurna bisa menjadi berpengaruh seiring waktu. Lebih dari 1.700 perusahaan unicorn yang mewakili lebih dari $8 triliun nilai masih tidak dapat diakses oleh investor rata-rata. Perp pre-IPO diposisikan sebagai salah satu cara untuk mengubah hal itu, meskipun infrastrukturnya masih dini. SPCX adalah yang pertama dari sekian banyak pasar perpetual pre-IPO yang Trade.xyz bilang akan hadir di platformnya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

AS dan Nigeria menembak kembali pejuang ISIS dari udara setelah membunuh pemimpin senior
(SeaPRwire) - Pasukan AS dan Nigeria melancarkan serangan lain terhadap pejuang ISIS di Nigeria, menurut U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), hanya beberapa hari setelah mereka melakukan operasi yang menewaskan seorang pemimpin global ISIS.AFRICOM menyatakan telah melakukan serangan kinetik tambahan terhadap militan ISIS pada hari Senin berkoordinasi dengan pemerintah Nigeria. Dikatakan bahwa penilaian lengkap sedang berlangsung, meskipun mencatat bahwa tidak ada pasukan AS atau Nigeria yang terluka selama operasi tersebut."Penyingkiran para teroris ini mengurangi kapasitas kelompok tersebut untuk merencanakan serangan yang mengancam keselamatan dan keamanan AS serta mitra kami," kata AFRICOM.Serangan tersebut terjadi setelah Presiden Donald Trump mengumumkan pada Jumat malam bahwa pasukan AS dan Nigeria menewaskan Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, yang ia gambarkan sebagai orang kedua dalam komando ISIS secara global."Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, orang kedua dalam komando ISIS secara global, mengira dia bisa bersembunyi di Afrika, tetapi dia tidak tahu bahwa kami memiliki sumber yang terus memberi kami informasi tentang apa yang dia lakukan," tulis Trump dalam sebuah unggahan di Truth Social pada saat itu. "Dia tidak akan lagi meneror rakyat Afrika, atau membantu merencanakan operasi untuk menargetkan warga Amerika."Menteri Perang Pete Hegseth mengonfirmasi pada hari Sabtu bahwa pasukan AS, berkoordinasi dengan Angkatan Bersenjata Nigeria, menewaskan al-Minuki dan para pemimpin ISIS lainnya."Jadi, selama berbulan-bulan, kami memburu pemimpin puncak ISIS di Nigeria ini yang membunuh umat Kristen, dan kami membunuhnya — beserta seluruh kelompoknya," tulis Hegseth.Pengumuman ini juga muncul setelah U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) mengatakan telah melakukan beberapa serangan terhadap lebih dari 30 target ISIS di Suriah pada bulan Februari sebagai bagian dari upaya militer gabungan untuk "mempertahankan tekanan militer tanpa henti terhadap sisa-sisa jaringan teroris tersebut."Michael Sinkewicz dan Robert McGreevey dari Digital berkontribusi pada laporan ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Global unregulated online gambling market hits $5.9 trillion in 2025, per GCI analysis
(AsiaGameHub) - A recent industry analysis by regtech provider Gaming Compliance International (GCI) estimated that the global value of unregulated online gambling reached $5.9 trillion in 2025. GCI’s Online Gaming 2025: Global report, published on Sunday, showed a 4% increase from $5.7 trillion in 2024. This marks a continued upward trend, as the previous year’s figure of $5.7 trillion represented a 12% rise compared to 2023’s total of $5.1 trillion. The analysis focused exclusively on online gambling activities and did not include retail or land-based gambling operations. Only operators actively conducting transactions and targeting local markets were included; websites that were accessible but not engaging in transactions were excluded. GCI defined “unregulated” online gambling as licensed products transacting with consumers who are actively targeted locally. This category includes various forms of gambling such as sports betting, unregulated prediction markets (excluding those in the United States), casino games, poker, crypto-based gambling, and lotteries. According to the report, GCI used a combination of automated surveillance and human analysis to estimate both betting volume and gross gaming revenue (GGR) across the online gambling ecosystem. To assess the market comprehensively, GCI analyzed user behaviors across all platforms using proprietary metrics such as “Value Per Visit” (VPV). This metric measured spending differences between regulated and unregulated operators. Key findings Unregulated gambling operators account for approximately 78% of global online gaming GGR in 2025, while regulated operators make up 22%. GCI described the unregulated sector as the world’s third-largest economy, exceeding most countries in size after the USA and China. The report also classified unregulated online gambling as the largest form of cybercrime globally. Research from H2 Capital released last week found that the UK offshore unregulated market hit £16.6 billion ($22 billion) in 2025, up from £5 billion in 2019—a growth of just over 230%. In response to GCI’s report, its CEO Matt Holt stated: “With $5.9 trillion in wagering value, unregulated online gambling is one of the largest economic systems in the world, operating largely outside regulatory oversight.” “Regulators are not dealing with a marginal challenge, but a dominant one—the majority of activity is taking place beyond the regulated perimeter. Our role is to provide full transparency across the entire marketplace, enabling regulators to act confidently.” The report also introduced the concept of a “White Noise Marketplace,” where consumers struggle to distinguish clearly between regulated, unregulated, and “unacknowledged” gambling products. Prediction markets and sports advertisement Forecasts for 2026 highlight several factors likely to drive growth in unregulated gambling. These include spillover effects from loosely regulated sectors such as prediction markets. Further complexity arises from crypto-linked gambling products and prediction markets. While the US regulates prediction markets under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), other regions often fall outside traditional gambling regulation. Brazil confirmed last month that prediction markets are illegal in the country, with telecom agency Anatel having already blocked 28 platforms. In contrast, Gibraltar licensed operator Predict Street as the territory’s first regulated prediction market. The report also predicted widespread advertising through illegal sports streaming. It noted that “in 2024 and 2025, unregulated gambling advertisements appeared on more than 80% of illegal sports content streams in the US and UK,” with major events like March Madness and the World Cup contributing significantly to this surge. At the beginning of the month, Ukraine launched an online tool designed to speed up public reporting of illegal gambling advertisements. The current statutory administrative fine for illegal gambling advertising in 2026 stands at UAH 5.19 million ($117 million). Australia recently announced a package of national reforms targeting gambling advertising following the Murphy Report. This includes a nationwide ban on wagering ads during live sports broadcasts on free-to-air TV between 6am and 8:30pm. UK MPs have recently framed gambling advertising as a public health issue, recommending a pre-9pm watershed ban on gambling advertisements and ending most sports sponsorship deals.

Betting restrictions for Desenrola Brasil beneficiaries begin
(AsiaGameHub) - Starting last Friday, betting platforms in Brazil are required to block new registrations and prevent existing users enrolled in the New Desenrola Brasil debt renegotiation programme from placing bets. Last week, President Lula signed the Provisional Measure creating the programme. As part of this financial recovery measure for families, those who join will be prohibited from placing online bets for one year. To join the programme, individuals must contact their banks through official channels. Upon joining, beneficiaries will be prevented from placing bets. Following the signing of the Provisional Measure, the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA) met with associations to provide guidance on the blocking. The Application Programming Interface in the Betting Management System (Sigap) is already ready for operators to continuously verify participation in Desenrola Brasil. A new code has been inserted into the SPA system indicating whether a person participates in Desenrola Brasil. Those who join will be unable to place bets and, upon registration, companies must check if the new client is in the programme. If so, the Sigap search will return the result as “Blocked – New Desenrola Brasil Programme”. Manual for Blocked Users On 5 May, SPA published Ordinance SPA/MF No 1,237, which regulates the prohibition of Desenrola beneficiaries from betting. On the same day, it published Normative Instruction SPA/MF No 3, which determines that operators must prevent the registration of those who join the programme and suspend the account of the bettor if they are already registered. The operator must communicate that the registration was not completed due to the client’s adherence to Desenrola Brasil. The rules were determined by the Manual for Blocked Users. It was presented to operators and associations to standardise the method of blocking registration. In addition, operators must check if their clients have joined Desenrola at the time of their first login of the day. If they are on the blocked list, the platforms must block the client. Open bets must also be cancelled immediately if the system detects that the customer has joined the programme. Customer suspension within three days By legal requirement, betting sites must inform customers that they will not be able to place bets from the moment it is detected that they have joined the programme. The suspension must occur within three days from the date of the consultation. Before suspending the account, the operator must inform the user of the reason for the block. The bettor must voluntarily withdraw the funds. If not, the betting site will refund the amounts within two days to one of the deposit or payment accounts registered by the customer. The operator must document all communications with the user, recording the date, time, channel used and message content, and store this information for a minimum of five years. BB will centralise the list of beneficiaries Banks will send the data of the beneficiaries of Desenrola Brasil to block these people’s access to betting sites for one year. This communication will be centralised at Banco do Brasil, which will forward the list of CPF numbers to SPA. Betting companies were already consulting the system regarding the registration and bets of Bolsa Família beneficiaries. Now, the system has been updated to also inform Desenrola participants. Starting 15 May, new registrations should be rejected if the customer is already in the programme. Companies should consult the list of blocked customers on the first login of the day for active customers. By 20 May, they should scan their databases for all customers who have joined the programme.

Paying Off Debt but Still Want to Save? Here’s How to Manage Both
SINGAPORE, May 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Want to rebuild your savings while carrying an existing debt? It can be overwhelming, but it is possible. The common belief is that one must eliminate all debt before saving again, but this could not be further from reality. Both goals can be managed together, even with monthly bills, Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs) and everyday expenses competing for your income.A balanced approach to savings can reduce financial stress, help to stay prepared for emergencies and move steadily towards long-term stability. Some short-term options to help paying off debt include a Balance Transfer, Personal Loan or a credit line. Choosing the suitable Balance Transfer option available can help lower interest costs and make repayment more manageable.Wondering how? Read along to find out.Get a clear picture of your current financesBefore creating an aggressive savings plan or an unrealistic debt payment plan that will soon drain you, it is important to understand where your money is going. As a first step, list all your outstanding debts, including credit cards, personal loans or education loans, along with their respective interest rates and required minimum payments. While doing this, also consider your monthly income and essential expenses to understand the flexibility you have.Budget for both goalsRebuilding your savings starts with setting a well-structured budget. Many people often allocate every bit of extra money towards debt repayment, which is why they fail to rebuild their savings. Allocate specific portions to both savings and debt reduction, striking a balance that ensures you do not feel financially insecure while you work towards freedom from debt. Over time, your budget can be adjusted as debts reduce and your financial confidence grows.Start with an emergency fundAn emergency fund protects you from unexpected expenses that could push you further into debt. This fund helps cover medical emergencies, urgent travel or sudden job changes/loss, without relying on credit cards or loans. Building this fund steadily, no matter the amount, is more important than trying to save a large sum all at once.Reduce debt while protecting your savingsIf you want to stay consistent with repayments without sacrificing your savings, you must choose the right strategy, which balances interest payment, motivation and cash flow. The right approach depends on whether you want to minimise interest or maintain motivation while saving. The debt avalanche method focuses on the former, while the snowball method helps with the latter.Debt avalanche methodUnder this method, the focus is on paying off debts with the highest interest first, while continuing to make minimum payments on others. This reduces the total interest paid over time, whereby you regain control. This repayment strategy reduces the interest burden and frees up money that can be later redirected towards savings.Debt snowball methodThe snowball method focuses on clearing smaller debts first, focusing on quick wins that result in continued motivation. With each debt cleared, the available amount can be split between savings and the next payment goal.Automate savingsThe temptation to skip saving when expenses rise can be strong; hence, automating your savings is important. For instance, setting up a mandate for automatic transfer of funds to your savings account right after your salary is credited ensures consistency. This helps you maintain steady and growing savings while also staying committed to debt repayment.Cut expenses without feeling restrictedReducing expenses does not require extreme cutbacks. Identify areas where you can make small adjustments that will lead to significant savings. This includes checking for unused subscriptions, planning meals to limit dine-out expenses, and reviewing bills wherever possible. The freed-up money can later be allocated to savings or debt payments.Rebuilding your savings while paying off existing debt is a long-term game of patience, planning and consistency. Start by understanding your finances and then identifying a financial strategy that works best for you. Saving and debt repayment are not competing goals, they can work together to create a secure financial future.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Di HelloNation, Ahli Asuransi Mike Newell Menjelaskan Tarif Asuransi Kendaraan Bermotor di Pittsburgh
(SeaPRwire) - Artikel ini menjelaskan bagaimana perilaku berkendara, lokasi, dan pilihan cakupan memengaruhi biaya asuransi di Pittsburgh. PITTSBURGH, 16 Mei 2026 — Apa yang menentukan berapa banyak uang yang harus dibayar pengemudi untuk asuransi kendaraan bermotor di Pittsburgh? HelloNation telah mempublikasikan sebuah artikel yang mengulas faktor-faktor yang membentuk tarif asuransi otomotif dan bagaimana mereka berlaku untuk polis asuransi kendaraan bermotor Pittsburgh. Artikel ini mencakup wawancara dengan Ahli Asuransi Mike Newell. Artikel HelloNation menjelaskan bahwa tarif asuransi otomotif dipengaruhi oleh lebih dari sekadar jenis mobil yang digunakan. Perusahaan asuransi menilai kombinasi perilaku, lingkungan, dan pola risiko saat menetapkan premi asuransi. Pendekatan yang lebih luas ini membantu menjelaskan mengapa dua pengemudi dengan kendaraan serupa mungkin menerima harga yang sangat berbeda. Riwayat berkendara adalah salah satu faktor terpenting yang dibahas dalam artikel HelloNation. Kecelakaan masa lalu, pelanggaran lalu lintas, dan klaim sebelumnya semuanya berkontribusi terhadap penilaian risiko masa depan oleh perusahaan asuransi. Artikel HelloNation mencatat bahwa catatan yang konsisten dengan insiden yang lebih sedikit dapat membantu menstabilkan tarif asuransi otomotif seiring waktu, sementara pola klaim atau pelanggaran dapat meningkatkan biaya. Lokasi juga merupakan elemen utama dalam penetapan harga asuransi kendaraan bermotor Pittsburgh. Artikel HelloNation menggambarkan bagaimana wilayah-wilayah berbeda dapat membawa tingkat risiko yang berbeda berdasarkan kepadatan lalu lintas, frekuensi kecelakaan, dan klaim terkait pencurian atau kerusakan akibat cuaca. Pertimbangan geografis ini dimasukkan ke dalam cara perhitungan premi asuransi, menjadikan tempat tinggal pengemudi sebagai faktor yang terus-menerus memengaruhi harganya. Gaya berkendara sehari-hari juga memainkan peran dalam membentuk tarif asuransi otomotif. Artikel HelloNation menjelaskan bagaimana seberapa sering seseorang berkendara, beserta kapan dan mengapa mereka berada di jalan, memengaruhi paparan secara keseluruhan. Berkendara selama jam sibuk mungkin membawa risiko yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan berkendara sesekali, dan pola-pola ini tercermin dalam penetapan harga polis. Pilihan cakupan adalah faktor utama lainnya dalam menentukan biaya. Artikel HelloNation menyajikan informasi tentang bagaimana batas tanggung jawab yang lebih tinggi dan perlindungan yang lebih luas biasanya menghasilkan tarif asuransi otomotif yang lebih tinggi. Pembebanan yang lebih rendah juga dapat meningkatkan premi karena mengurangi biaya sendiri jika terjadi klaim. Artikel ini menekankan bahwa pemilihan opsi cakupan harus didasarkan pada paparan finansial, bukan sekadar harga. Ciri-ciri kendaraan tetap berkontribusi terhadap penetapan harga secara keseluruhan, meskipun hanya sebagian kecil dari persamaan tersebut. Artikel HelloNation menjelaskan bahwa merek, model, usia, dan biaya perbaikan mobil semuanya memengaruhi premi asuransi. Kendaraan dengan fitur keselamatan canggih mungkin dinilai berbeda, sementara kendaraan yang lebih mahal untuk diperbaiki dapat meningkatkan biaya. Perilaku keuangan juga diperhitungkan dalam banyak kasus. Artikel HelloNation mencatat bahwa perusahaan asuransi mungkin menggunakan bentuk evaluasi berbasis kredit sebagai bagian dari proses mereka. Meskipun tidak identik dengan skor kredit konvensional, faktor ini mencerminkan pola yang dikaitkan oleh perusahaan asuransi dengan risiko dan berkontribusi pada cara tarif asuransi otomotif ditentukan. Artikel HelloNation menyimpulkan bahwa asuransi otomotif bukanlah hal yang statis dan harus ditinjau secara berkala. Perubahan dalam gaya berkendara, opsi cakupan, dan situasi pribadi dapat semuanya memengaruhi premi asuransi seiring waktu. Memperbarui polis membantu memastikan bahwa asuransi kendaraan bermotor Pittsburgh mencerminkan kondisi nyata dan memberikan perlindungan yang tepat. Apa yang Mempengaruhi Tarif Asuransi Otomotif di Pittsburgh, PA? mencakup wawasan dari Mike Newell, Ahli Asuransi di Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, di HelloNation.

New ANJ Algorithm Reveals Excessive Gamblers Contribute 60% of Online GGR
(AsiaGameHub) - The French National Gaming Authority (ANJ) has launched a newly created algorithm aimed at spotting far more potential problem gamblers in online and live betting than the numbers currently reported by gambling operators. This detection tool is a key component of ANJ’s 2024-26 strategic plan, which prioritizes curbing excessive gambling as a regulatory goal. Per the plan, France’s gambling sector showed tangible progress in preventing excessive gambling and underage participation, yet “additional efforts” are required to hit the ambitious 2027 targets for reducing problem gambling. In 2024, the French Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction estimated that around 1.17 million people in France display problematic gambling behaviors, with about 360,000 categorized as excessive players. Using ongoing, account-specific gambling data directly collected from licensed operators, the ANJ built the algorithm using 23 indicators based on scientific research. These indicators consider factors such as: Financial transaction trends Utilization of gambling moderation features Frequency and intensity of gambling activity Players’ past gambling records The algorithm sorts players into four categories: recreational, moderate risk, excessive, and clearly excessive. The ANJ verified that the algorithm’s performance was tested against the globally recognized Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI) and reviewed by an independent scientific panel. It’s said to be the first model of its kind in Europe, with comparable initiatives ongoing in Spain and the Netherlands. Flagged players generate €1.2 billion in gross gaming revenue Preliminary findings released on Wednesday show that the algorithm identified around 600,000 players with a “high likelihood” of excessive gambling during the latter half of 2025. This makes up roughly 8.7% of the online and live betting population overseen by the ANJ, which includes users of licensed online platforms and the two main account providers: La Française des Jeux (FDJ) and Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU). Of these, some 300,000 players were labeled as clearly excessive gamblers— a group the regulator stresses operators must prioritize identifying. Together, these flagged players are estimated to have generated €1.2 billion in gross gaming revenue (GGR), which is about 60% of the total online gambling GGR. Significantly, the ANJ noted this proportion has been rising consistently since 2023. Tool marks a ‘decisive step for the regulator’ Although operators have made progress— tripling the number of excessive gamblers they identified from 31,000 in 2024 to 89,000 in 2025— the ANJ stated this is still far below what’s needed. Current industry numbers stand in stark contrast to the regulator’s algorithm-based estimates and population survey data on gambling harm. To boost better detection, the ANJ is making the algorithm available to operators as an optional tool. It aims for this tool to act as a “compliance barometer”, allowing operators to assess their identification work alongside their existing detection methods. The regulator will keep tracking trends and comparing operator reports with its own data. Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, ANJ’s president, praised the algorithm as “a decisive step for the regulator”, highlighting that it aligns with actual online gambling behaviors. She repeated the ANJ’s strong expectation that operators start identifying the 300,000 clearly excessive players right away and expand their efforts to address the larger group flagged by the tool. Furthermore, the ANJ underscored the need to improve problem gambling detection in physical retail settings, focusing on FDJ and PMU for increased action since 2024. The ANJ admitted that its algorithm doesn’t offer an exact prevalence measure like epidemiological studies do, but it acts as a standard for regulatory supervision and trend tracking. Looking forward, the regulator expects the algorithm to push operators to step up their identification and support efforts. France’s regulated gambling market grew by 3% in 2025, hitting a total gross gaming revenue (GGR) of €14.1 billion ($16.6 billion).

AVI urges the dismissal of two directors at Wacom
LONDON, May 14, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Asset Value Investors Limited (“AVI”) has submitted shareholder proposals on one of AVI Japan Opportunity Trust’s (“AJOT”) portfolio companies, Wacom Corporation (TSE: 6727, “Wacom”) calling for board changes ahead of Wacom’s upcoming Annual General Meeting in June. AVI, Wacom’s largest shareholder on behalf of all the portfolios it manages, is seeking the dismissal of two directors and the appointment of one external director.Alongside these proposals, AVI has disclosed additional material on its Wacom campaign, including a detailed presentation on an updated dedicated website (www.DrawWacomsFuture.com).Since initiating its investment in Wacom in August 2021, AVI has sought various forms of engagement aimed at enhancing the company’s long-term corporate value as Wacom’s largest shareholder. However, the Branded Business, one of Wacom’s principal business segments, fell into loss from FY2023/3 onwards, and business growth has stalled amid the implementation of large-scale restructuring measures. Furthermore, AVI has serious concerns regarding Wacom’s governance framework in light of the recently announced inappropriate acquisition of a company represented by one of Wacom’s own outside directors, despite the absence of tangible business synergies with Wacom, as well as the improper use of corporate resources, including the provision of preferential treatment to the children of the company representative director, Mr Ide.In light of these circumstances, AVI, as the company’s largest shareholder and a long-term investor on behalf of all the portfolios it manages, publicly launched a campaign last year to support sustainable improvements in corporate value. This year, AVI has decided to publish additional materials and submit shareholder proposals at the upcoming annual general meeting, as follows:- Appointment of one outside director - Dismissal of two directors (the Representative Director and one outside director)Kaz Sakai, Head of Japan Research at AVI, commented as follows:“Wacom has demonstrated serious deficiencies in governance oversight. These include the acquisition by Wacom of a loss-making company represented by Mr Nakajima, one of its own external directors, for more than ten million dollars, the subsequent transfer of Mr Nakajima into an internal director role, and conduct by Mr Ide, Wacom’s Representative Director and CEO, that can only reasonably be viewed as a conflation of personal and corporate interests, together with a board that has tolerated such behaviour.”“Wacom must restore the proper functioning of its governance framework without delay. In addition to proposing the dismissal of Mr Ide and Mr Nakajima, whom AVI has concluded are central to these governance failures, AVI has also nominated a candidate for outside director capable of strengthening governance and management. We are confident that, through the board structure recommended by AVI and the implementation of operational improvement measures, Wacom can further reinforce its position as the global market leader in the graphic tablet business.”About Asset Value Investors (AVI):AVI is an investment management company established in London, United Kingdom, in 1985.
