Riding the AI Wave: MRC's Institutional Placement, Strategic Positioning, and the Future of Finance

Good evening to all future investors of Diamond Ridge Financial Academy!

I’m Charles Hanover. It’s a real honour to stand with you at this historical moment, when global capital is shifting fast and the old financial system is being shaken up, to talk about assets that can truly hold strong through market cycles. Right now, AI is changing the world and crypto assets, especially AI-related crypto projects, are becoming the main battleground for capital. MRC, a project that combines on-chain AI coordination with humanoid robot tech, is quickly stepping onto the global financial centre stage.

Tonight, we’re not just breaking down big-picture shifts; we’re also going to help you clearly understand the strategy behind MRC’s institutional allocation window and how to ride this wave of smart finance to level up both your identity and your capital.

Today, the UK stock market has stayed weak. The FTSE 100 dropped 0.4%, showing the market’s growing caution about the macro and policy outlook. On the one hand, there’s disagreement inside the Bank of England about how fast to cut rates and fears about rates staying high are still weighing on defensive sectors and consumer stocks. On the other hand, even strong earnings reports from top companies like Imperial Brands and Compass couldn’t stop their stock prices from falling, showing a clear lack of confidence. Also, European manufacturing and export stocks fell across the board and with China voicing its discontent over UK-US trade talks, geopolitical and supply chain tensions are rising. All in all, with policy delays and weak growth momentum, UK stocks are likely to stay stuck in a downtrend for now.

As for US stocks, they were mixed today. They started off slightly up but lost steam as the day went on. Tech stocks looked strong for now, with AI orders helping boost leaders like Nvidia, but most blue-chip stocks are feeling the heat from high valuations. The short-term boost from US-China tariff cuts lifted moods a bit, but long-term trade policies are still a big question mark. Trump keeps dropping hints about a “potential deal,” but nothing real has happened yet. Big firms like Goldman Sachs and UBS are lowering their outlook on US stocks, showing more caution. Many traders worry that if economic data keeps getting worse, talk of a recession will return and stop the market from going much higher.

After two days of gains from easing tariff concerns, the global market’s bounce has run out of steam. The short-term good news has mostly been priced in, and now the deeper macro risks are popping back up. Today’s US stock action shows it clearly: the market’s getting more divided, and money is moving in a whole new way. Only a few AI and crypto-related stocks are still going strong, while traditional sectors are clearly seeing a sell-off. The Dow is down, and finance, healthcare, and industrials are under even more pressure.

At its core, this market pullback didn't come out of nowhere. It's the traditional markets "repricing" the future direction of the economy, and where capital wants to go. On the one hand, the global economy keeps slowing down under the pressure of high interest rates, high costs and de-globalisation, with profits in traditional industries taking a hit quarter after quarter. On the other hand, a ton of money is starting to leave the weak stock and bond markets, looking for new, fast-growing opportunities. And this time, their eyes are on crypto, especially the space where AI stories and blockchain tech come together, the "AI crypto projects" track.

This isn't just a theory; it's a reality unfolding before our eyes. The continuous stream of headlines over the past 48 hours is a testament to this. Coinbase's inclusion in the S&P 500 signifies that crypto-native assets are now part of the most crucial index in traditional finance. This marks the first time crypto has become a 'standard' in the US mainstream market, demonstrating that traditional finance is not only embracing crypto but also integrating it into the system, propelling it to a whole new level.

Right after that, we saw Nakamoto, a BTC reserve company, raise over $700M, DeFi Technologies got listed on Nasdaq, MicroStrategy and Metaplanet each bought over 1,000 BTC, and American Bitcoin Mining announced a reverse merger to go public. All these points point to one clear fact: BTC and crypto assets are turning into the next big battlefield for global capital. They're no longer just "digital gambling chips" chased by retail traders; they're becoming "infrastructure-level assets" that, with the help of AI and token systems, are starting to rebuild the logic of traditional finance and the whole economy.

Wall Street isn't just sitting back and watching this wave come; they know the market is changing at its core, and they've already been quietly getting in position. BlackRock and Fidelity have launched the world's biggest BTC ETFs, basically covering all the ways big institutions can enter the space. And those traditional financial giants we once thought were "anti-crypto"? They've already built positions on-chain, using ETFs, RTOs and fund channels to funnel money into this new world. Behind every BTC rally and every AI-on-chain project that takes off, you'll almost always find these old-school capital players involved.

For example, we can spot a pattern. Every time news comes out, such as “BTC is about to be included in national reserves” or “a state government plans to use BTC to build a financial hedge structure,” the market doesn’t shoot up. Instead, it often pulls back sharply. This strange reaction isn’t random; it’s a purposely created “expectation disruption.” When bearish news floods the market and panic spreads, big players are quietly buying in. And every time we see a sharp reversal to the upside, it usually happens during the darkest moments of fear. At the core, it’s all about locking in future financial pricing power at the lowest possible cost.

The real value of the SEC hosting crypto roundtables is that it brings Wall Street, the government and the tech world to the same table to coordinate resources through “policy design + interest swaps.” The upcoming “TRUMP Token Holders Exclusive Dinner” in Washington, with a ticket price of $1.5M, is a crystal-clear example of how high-net-worth capital is using crypto and AI to rebuild networks and lock in influence.

And the same logic applies to the ecosystem we’re part of today. For example, the team behind the quantitative trading system chose to release a portion of MRC’s highly limited institutional allocation to the Financial Academy, not because of sentiment but because of deeper goals for building the ecosystem. What they really want is for this group of quality investors not just to bring in capital but also to help create a closed loop of data, awareness, and resource collaboration. For instance, users of the quantitative trading system aren’t just users; they’re data contributors, AQS token circulation hubs and believers spreading the word. They’re also part of the feedback system that improves the algorithm and user experience.

As the head of the Financial Academy, I’ve been working nonstop to push for a bigger MRC institutional allocation and more collaboration strategies. It’s not just about helping our members build early positions so they don’t have to chase high prices later in the secondary market; it’s also because of my personal belief in this tech revolution and the long-term vision I hold. I truly believe that in this wave of wealth reshaping driven by AI and blockchain, people with real vision and judgment shouldn’t miss this once-in-a-generation chance to leap forward in assets and identity.

This isn’t just empty talk. I grew up with elite education and in traditional systems, and I’ve personally lived through my family’s ups and downs during major social changes. Later, I moved to the US and have spent the past 30 years deeply involved in financial markets, from the dot-com bubble to the subprime crisis, from Fed policy cycles to the rise of digital assets. I’ve lived through and learned from every financial storm. These experiences shaped my strategy mindset and made me realize that when the old rules of an era start breaking down, it’s people with forward-thinking who should step up and help build what’s next. Through this tech revolution, through MRC as a bridge, I want to lead a group of like-minded people to build a smart financial network with real value, shared goals and global impact.

Now, as I stand at the doorstep of the fourth industrial revolution led by AI, I am more convinced than ever that it's time to use these resources and experiences to do something more meaningful to create a global tech charity fund that goes beyond "Templeton."

This fund is not a decorative donation slogan but a whole set of sustainable operational systems focused on driving global tech development while helping the people who truly need support, especially in areas like education, healthcare and disaster recovery, where help hasn't yet been reached. This has been my team's core mission over the past two years, constantly working hard to build cooperation channels. And the real start is right here, with you and me joining forces in this moment.

In fact, we've been focusing on core assets in AI and crypto this year because we're not just chasing financial returns but building a global collaborative investment network. Under my leadership, the Financial Academy members have deeply invested in the AI sector, including projects like MRC, AQS and other high-potential initiatives. It's not for short-term profits but to gather capital through the aggregation effect, bringing together the world's best investors and thinkers to combine scattered resources, capital and expertise and co-build a charity finance platform that can truly impact the future. With the official launch of the quantitative trading system at the end of this month, our "Quantitative Charity Fund" will also be unveiled. This isn't an experimental project, but the system landed after our collective agreement.

We plan to hold the first Quantitative Charity Fund Dinner on Jun 6. At that time, I'll call on every profitable member to take 30%-50% of their AI investment earnings and use them to purchase shares in the fund. This is not a donation but an exchange of participation rights in "co-building value." Every investment will serve as seed capital for the next generation of global charity tech projects. We won't use it for passive donations but to invest in projects that can truly drive social structure upgrades and the fair distribution of technology. So, whether it's MRC that you hold or AQS that you participate in, at this moment, they're not just wealth accumulators; they're a reflection of your identity, awareness and social value.

In fact, the door to the AI era has long since been open. Most people are just standing outside, watching and hesitating. But as long as you're willing to take this step, future opportunities will no longer be far away. MRC is just the starting point in this revolution, the first ticket to entering a higher quality of life and higher-level investment. Wealth migration isn't the end, but the beginning of having more choices in life. I hope every member who seizes the MRC opportunity today will when looking back, understand that this wasn't just a transaction but a deep participation in dancing with the tech wave and walking side by side with the trends of the times.

I also hope that after achieving profits, you'll take the initiative to join our co-building efforts and become part of our elite group. Not to show off achievements but to gather more like-minded people together to build a new era capital network, one driven by tech to promote good and by consensus to drive value. This revolution has quietly begun, and the choices you make now will determine your position in the future. I hope we're not just beneficiaries of this era but creators of the new order, truly walking alongside the future.

That’s all for tonight’s share. In this round of discussion, we not only laid out the new financial order created by the integration of AI and crypto assets but also fully analysed the core value and mechanics of MRC’s institutional allocation. We’ve also explored, from a higher perspective, the intersection of tech dividends and capital evolution over the next decade. I hope this share isn’t just about passing on information but more of a catalyst for your action.

If you still have questions about MRC’s institutional allocation or if you want to explore more in-depth investment strategies and resource collaboration in the AI space, feel free to DM me anytime. We’ll provide one-on-one answers and guidance, ensuring that you can truly secure your footing and stay ahead in this wave of intelligent economic migration.

I hope we don’t just go with the flow but use this momentum to rise. In this golden time where tech waves and structural dividends meet, let’s join hands to seize this era’s wealth feast while building a new capital civilisation that’s driven by faith, warmth and influence. The future is here, and I look forward to walking alongside you.
