Quantum Computing, AI and Robotics lead next wave of technology growth
Anthony Ginsberg, CEO of GinsGlobal Index Fund, recently spoke with Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the strong performance of the Tech Megatrend Fund and the powerful global technology trends that continue to drive growth across artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, robotics, quantum computing, and other emerging innovation sectors. Ginsberg highlighted that the fund has delivered a gain of approximately 27% year-to-date and recently achieved a new all-time high, reflecting strong investor demand for exposure to transformative technologies shaping the future economy. He attributed much of the fund’s success to its diversified investment approach, which provides broad participation across multiple high-growth technology segments rather than concentrating heavily in a handful of mega-cap stocks. Unlike many technology-focused indices that derive a significant portion of their performance from the so-called Magnificent Seven technology giants, the Tech Megatrend Fund employs an equally weighted strategy across ten distinct technology subthemes. According to Ginsberg, this structure allows investors to gain exposure to a wider range of innovative companies and emerging opportunities while reducing reliance on a small group of dominant market leaders. The discussion also highlighted the increasingly global nature of technological innovation. Ginsberg noted that strong contributions have come not only from the United States but also from key international markets such as South Korea, Japan, and China. These regions continue to produce innovative companies operating in areas ranging from semiconductors and robotics to artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing technologies. Among the sectors generating the greatest excitement, Ginsberg pointed to quantum computing, defense technology, cybersecurity, and cloud infrastructure. He noted that cloud computing remains one of the fastest-growing segments within the broader technology landscape, supported by substantial investments from hyperscale providers and rising demand for data processing, storage, and AI-related workloads. Artificial intelligence remained a central focus of the conversation. Ginsberg described the current wave of AI investment as one of the most significant technological transformations in decades, with opportunities extending far beyond chip manufacturers and software developers. Ginsberg also emphasized the role of developing economies in driving future technology adoption. In some cases, emerging markets are embracing AI and cloud-based technologies at an even faster pace than more mature economies, leveraging digital infrastructure to improve productivity, enhance services, and accelerate economic development. #TechMegatrendETF, #AnthonyGinsberg, #FourthIndustrialRevolution, #AI, #Cybersecurity, #TechMegatrends #CloudComputing #Cybersecurity #QuantumComputing #TechnologyInvesting #Innovation #Robotics #GlobalMarkets #FutureTech

Fineqia sees rising Crypto market volatility amid growing disconnect from equities
Fineqia International Senior Associate Matteo Greco joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the latest trends in cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs), the growing divergence between digital asset markets and traditional financial markets, and the factors that could drive heightened volatility in the months ahead. Greco highlighted an unusual market dynamic that has emerged since late 2025. While major equity benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have continued to reach record highs, cryptocurrency markets have generally struggled to maintain upward momentum, resulting in a notable disconnect between digital assets and broader risk markets. According to Greco, this divergence stands in contrast to the pattern investors became accustomed to over the past several years, particularly following the approval and launch of spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds in the United States. Historically, digital assets often moved in tandem with broader growth-oriented investments, making the current separation between equities and cryptocurrencies particularly noteworthy. One factor contributing to the divergence, Greco suggested, is the concentrated influence of artificial intelligence-related companies within major stock indices. A relatively small number of large-cap technology firms have been responsible for a significant portion of the gains seen across broader equity markets. As a result, headline index performance may not fully reflect conditions across the wider economy or investment landscape. The discussion also focused on Fineqia’s latest May Crypto ETP report, which examined investment flows and performance trends across digital asset products. Greco explained that Bitcoin ETPs largely mirrored the performance of Bitcoin itself during the reporting period, with relatively balanced fund flows and limited net inflows or outflows. This suggests investors have generally maintained existing exposure while awaiting clearer market catalysts. Ethereum, however, experienced a more challenging environment. Both Ethereum’s price performance and associated ETP flows lagged behind Bitcoin during 2026, reflecting weaker investor sentiment and a more cautious approach toward the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Despite the softer performance of the largest digital assets, Greco pointed to encouraging developments within segments of the altcoin market. Several alternative cryptocurrencies delivered stronger-than-expected returns and attracted increasing investor interest. He described recent market activity as resembling a modest "alt season," where smaller digital assets outperform larger cryptocurrencies and generate increased trading activity. Looking ahead, Greco believes volatility is likely to remain elevated across both crypto and traditional financial markets. He noted that investors continue to face uncertainty surrounding monetary policy decisions, inflation trends, energy prices, and geopolitical developments, all of which have the potential to influence capital flows and risk sentiment. #proactiveinvestors #fineqiainternationalinc #cse #fnq #otc #fnqqf #DigitalAssets #CryptoStrategy #ETP #Cryptocurrency #Bitcoin #Ethereum #CryptoETP #DigitalAssets #Blockchain #CryptoMarkets #ArtificialIntelligence #Investing

HIVE Digital delivers record revenue growth as Bitcoin and AI businesses scale
Hive Digital Technologies Chief Financial Officer Darcy Daubaras joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, highlighting record revenue growth, expanding profitability metrics, and continued progress across both its Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure businesses. HIVE reported total revenue of $297.8 million during fiscal 2026, generated from a combination of digital currency mining operations and high-performance computing hosting services. The strong performance reflects the company’s strategy of leveraging its expertise in large-scale computing infrastructure to capitalize on opportunities in both blockchain technology and artificial intelligence. A major contributor to growth was the company’s Bitcoin mining business, where digital currency revenue increased 164% year-over-year. The improvement was driven by a substantial expansion of HIVE’s mining capacity, with installed operational hashrate increasing approximately four-fold compared to the prior year, alongside a significantly higher average Bitcoin price environment. During fiscal 2026, HIVE mined 2,885 Bitcoin, representing a 104% increase from the 1,414 Bitcoin mined in fiscal 2025. Notably, the company achieved this growth despite a significant increase in network difficulty, which rose approximately 42% year-over-year from an average of 95.7 trillion to 135.8 trillion. Management highlighted that the company’s production growth substantially outpaced the increase in mining difficulty, demonstrating the effectiveness of its infrastructure expansion strategy. Beyond cryptocurrency mining, HIVE’s BUZZ HPC division delivered record performance as demand for AI-focused computing infrastructure continued to accelerate. The business generated $19.5 million in revenue during fiscal 2026, representing a 94% increase compared with $10 million in fiscal 2025. Financially, HIVE demonstrated meaningful operating leverage throughout the year. Revenue increased 158% year-over-year, while gross operating margin expanded to 36.2%. Cash generated from operations climbed to $62.3 million, representing a 3.5-fold increase compared to the previous fiscal year. Looking ahead, HIVE enters fiscal 2027 with what management describes as a fully funded Paraguay expansion program, a growing pipeline of high-performance computing opportunities, and significant financial flexibility. The company plans to continue allocating capital toward opportunities that offer the highest returns across both its Bitcoin mining operations and rapidly expanding AI infrastructure platform. #proactiveinvestors #hivedigitaltechnologieslet #tsxv #hive #nasdaq #hive #darcydaubaras #BitcoinMining #ArtificialIntelligence #HighPerformanceComputing #CryptoMining #DigitalInfrastructure #AIComputing #BlockchainTechnology #GPUCloud #TechnologyStocks

Purepoint Uranium highlights value of major mining partnerships in advancing Uranium exploration
Purepoint Uranium Group CEO Chris Frostad joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the critical role strategic partnerships play in the uranium exploration sector and why collaborations between junior explorers and major mining companies have become an increasingly important model for advancing high-potential projects. Frostad explained that successful joint ventures begin with high-quality exploration assets capable of attracting industry leaders seeking long-term growth opportunities. According to Frostad, major mining companies are ultimately drawn to projects that offer either significant exploration upside, strategic geographic positioning, or the potential to contribute to future uranium production pipelines. Using Purepoint’s partnerships with Cameco, Orano, and IsoEnergy as examples, Frostad outlined how these relationships create a framework that allows projects to advance more efficiently while balancing risk and capital requirements. He noted that large mining companies often manage extensive global portfolios and therefore benefit from working with focused exploration teams that can dedicate significant attention to individual assets. The discussion highlighted Purepoint’s Hook Lake and Smart Lake projects, both located in Saskatchewan’s prolific Athabasca Basin, one of the world’s premier uranium-producing regions. Frostad explained that partnerships on these projects combine the strengths of each participant, with Purepoint contributing specialized exploration expertise, local operational knowledge, and agility, while larger partners provide financial resources, technical capabilities, and extensive industry experience. A key advantage of these strategic relationships is the validation they provide. Frostad emphasized that when major uranium producers and developers commit funding to exploration programs, it sends a strong signal regarding the quality and potential of the underlying assets. As Frostad noted, “If they didn’t see a lot of promise in these projects, they would not be writing checks to advance them.” Beyond financial support, major mining companies also contribute sophisticated geological analysis, advanced exploration techniques, and decades of uranium development experience that can significantly enhance project evaluation and decision-making. However, Frostad acknowledged that maintaining momentum within joint ventures requires continuous effort. Because large mining companies often have numerous projects competing for internal funding, exploration teams must consistently demonstrate progress, deliver meaningful results, and highlight the value of ongoing investment opportunities. He explained that securing capital allocation within a major company’s portfolio can be highly competitive, making it essential for junior partners to maintain a strong technical case for continued exploration. Successful programs must continually generate data and discoveries that justify further expenditures and advancement. #proactiveinvestors #purepointuraniumgroup #tsxv #ptu #otcqb #ptuuf #UraniumExploration #NuclearEnergy #MiningNews #UraniumExploration #AthabascaBasin #CriticalMinerals #EnergyTransition #Cameco #ResourceDevelopment

Snail founder discusses business evolution, IP strategy, and long-term franchise and IP growth
Snail Inc. founder and chairman Shi Hai joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s remarkable evolution from one of China’s earliest internet-era gaming businesses into a global game developer and publisher, while outlining its strategy for future growth through proprietary game development and artificial intelligence technologies. Reflecting on the company’s origins, Shi explained that Snail was founded in 2000 with a vision of becoming a leader in virtual worlds and interactive entertainment. At a time when China’s online gaming industry was still in its infancy, the company helped pioneer the development of some of the country’s earliest 3D gaming experiences, establishing a foundation that would support decades of growth and innovation. Over the years, Snail expanded alongside the rapidly changing gaming industry, successfully navigating multiple technology cycles. The company broadened its portfolio from early online titles into web-based games, massively multiplayer online games (MMOs), mobile gaming experiences, and eventually international markets, including a significant presence in the United States. Throughout that journey, Snail also developed expertise in acquiring, supporting, and growing independent game studios, helping creators bring new intellectual property and gaming experiences to market. Shi noted that the company’s strategy has evolved significantly in recent years. Rather than relying primarily on third-party publishing opportunities, Snail has increasingly focused on controlling the full lifecycle of game development, from concept creation and production through publishing, live operations, and long-term community engagement. This approach allows the company to capture greater value from successful titles while building long-term franchises that can generate recurring revenue streams. A central pillar of that strategy is the development of strong intellectual property. Shi emphasized that in today’s competitive gaming market, creating recognizable brands and immersive game worlds is more important than ever. Successful games increasingly require compelling content, active player communities, ongoing updates, and live-service capabilities that keep players engaged over extended periods. The discussion also explored the challenges facing the broader gaming industry. Shi observed that both independent developers and major publishers are under increasing pressure as player expectations continue to rise. Modern gamers demand larger worlds, richer experiences, higher production quality, and more frequent content updates, all while development costs continue to climb. As a result, studios must find ways to improve efficiency while maintaining creativity and innovation. Looking ahead, Snail sees artificial intelligence as a major opportunity to transform both game development and player experiences. Shi explained that AI technologies have the potential to streamline production processes, accelerate content creation, improve testing and quality assurance, and enhance in-game experiences through more dynamic and intelligent interactions. The company believes that integrating AI into its development pipeline can help reduce costs, improve productivity, and enable teams to focus more heavily on creativity and innovation. At the same time, AI-driven features could create more personalized and engaging gameplay experiences for players, helping differentiate Snail’s products in an increasingly crowded marketplace. Shi outlined ambitious growth objectives for the company, emphasizing the value of owning and releasing internally developed products. “By developing and releasing our own products, we want to be able to double or triple our profits once products are released,” he said, highlighting the significant upside potential associated with successful proprietary game launches. As the gaming industry enters a new era shaped by AI, evolving player expectations, and global competition, Snail believes its combination of industry experience, intellectual property development, publishing expertise, and emerging technology capabilities positions the company to capitalize on future opportunities and continue building long-term shareholder value. #proactiveinvestors #snail #nasdaq #snal #SnailInc #Gaming #VideoGames #ARKSurvivalEvolved #GameDevelopment #Entertainment #Esports #TechStocks #GamingIndustry

European Green Transition targets rapid growth following transformational wind sector acquisition
European Green Transition Plc Non-Executive Chairman and Founder Cathal Friel joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s 2025 results, highlighting a transformational acquisition, growing opportunities in the UK renewable energy sector, and an ambitious strategy aimed at building a leading clean energy infrastructure business. Friel explained that the acquisition of Earthmill Maintenance and its related businesses has fundamentally reshaped European Green Transition, positioning the company as a significant participant in the UK onshore wind services market. The transaction brought an EBITDA-profitable business into the group, along with substantial working capital resources, a well-established customer base, and a portfolio of more than 900 wind turbines under management across the UK. According to Friel, the acquisition immediately provides scale and recurring revenue opportunities while establishing a strong operational platform from which the company can pursue further growth. The expanded business now offers a broad range of services to wind farm operators, including maintenance, repair, operational support, and turbine optimization solutions. A key factor supporting future growth is the changing regulatory landscape in the United Kingdom. Friel noted that recent government policy changes have reopened opportunities for onshore wind development, creating renewed demand for turbine upgrades, repowering projects, and maintenance services. As a result, European Green Transition has already secured 55 heads of agreement representing approximately £24 million in potential additional revenue opportunities. Management believes these agreements are only the beginning of a much larger opportunity. Beyond the identified projects, the company has assembled a growing pipeline of prospective contracts and development opportunities that could support significant revenue expansion in the years ahead. Friel also highlighted the strategic importance of Anemos, the AI-enabled wind turbine monitoring and analytics business in which European Green Transition recently increased its ownership stake to 79%. The platform utilizes artificial intelligence and advanced monitoring technologies to provide predictive maintenance capabilities, real-time operational insights, and performance optimization tools for wind turbine operators. The company believes Anemos has the potential to become an increasingly valuable component of the business by helping reduce maintenance costs, improve turbine efficiency, and minimize operational downtime. In addition to supporting Earthmill’s existing customer base, the technology can also be marketed to third-party wind farm operators, creating an additional revenue stream and strengthening the company’s competitive position. Looking forward, European Green Transition remains focused on executing a strategy built around revenue growth, profitability, and carefully selected acquisition opportunities. Friel emphasized that management intends to maintain a disciplined approach to future transactions while targeting businesses that can deliver strategic synergies, recurring revenues, and exposure to high-growth segments of the renewable energy sector. #proactiveinvestors #europeangreentransition #aim #egt #GreenTransition #CathalFriel #RenewableEnergy #WindEnergy #CleanEnergy #OnshoreWind #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #GreenInfrastructure #ArtificialIntelligence #RenewablePower

Record Resources targets 5,000-Barrel-Per-Day well at Gabon’s Loba Oil discovery
Record Resources COO Alain Mizelle joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s offshore oil development plans in Gabon, highlighting encouraging geological and geophysical studies that suggest the first production well at the Loba oil discovery could deliver initial production rates exceeding 5,000 barrels of oil per day. Mizelle explained that recent technical evaluations of the Loba discovery, combined with analysis of nearby producing analogue fields, continue to strengthen confidence in the project’s development potential. The company’s planned Loba Marine 2 well is targeting the highly prospective Batanga reservoir and is expected to achieve production rates above 5,000 barrels per day if completed with modern production technologies, including a frac-pack completion and an electric submersible pump (ESP). The production forecast is supported by performance data from the nearby Barbier Southwest field, which was originally identified by the company in 2017 as a highly attractive development opportunity. Located adjacent to Record Resources’ Ngulu Block and now operated by Perenco, the Barbier Southwest field has recently entered production and serves as an important analogue for the Loba development because it produces from the same Batanga reservoir system. According to Mizelle, the broader Loba field complex offers considerably larger production potential beyond the initial well. Based on data from nearby offset fields and comparable multi-well developments, management believes the Loba complex could ultimately support production of approximately 20,000 barrels of oil per day. Several analogous wells drilled within 40 kilometres of the Loba discovery have delivered initial production rates as high as 7,600 barrels per day from single completions within the same reservoir interval. The Loba field complex encompasses multiple development opportunities, including the existing Loba oil discovery in the Batanga reservoir, the deeper Loba Deep prospect targeting the Anguille formation, and the Loba East Batanga prospect located on the eastern flank of the salt dome structure. Together, these targets provide the potential for a broader field development program that could significantly expand recoverable resources and future production capacity. A key advantage for Record Resources is the financial structure of its partnership on the Ngulu Block. Under the agreement with its strategic partner and operator, the company is fully carried through the first phase of exploration and appraisal expenditures. This arrangement includes all seismic reprocessing activities and the drilling of the first exploration well through to total depth. #proactiveinvestors #tsxv #rec #mining #recordresources #OilAndGas #NguluBlock #GabonOil #OilExploration #AfricanEnergy #Gabon #EnergySector #OilDiscovery #OffshoreDrilling #EnergyInvestment #Exploration #Petroleum #ResourceDevelopment #Batanga
