LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 22, 2025--

BitradeX, a next-generation AI-powered digital asset trading platform, has announced the successful completion of its £12 million Series A funding round, led by Bain Capital.

Founded in 2022, BitradeX is committed to redefining the digital asset trading experience through intelligent automation, rigorous compliance, and a user-first design. The platform is best known for its proprietary ARK Trading Model, an AI-native engine built on trillion-parameter architectures that integrates advanced techniques from DeepSeek and Qianfan for high-frequency crypto trading.

The ARK model currently achieves over 90% short-term trend prediction accuracy and has delivered annualized returns of 120%–180% in live market conditions. By combining real-time on-chain activity, macro data, sentiment indicators, and market volatility, ARK executes trades with millisecond latency and dynamic risk calibration.

In a major innovation, BitradeX introduced the industry's first AI-yield-powered Protection Pool, a dual-layer mechanism that autonomously absorbs losses and redistributes excess yields to ensure principal and fixed-income coverage. Unlike traditional insurance-based exchanges, BitradeX embeds capital protection directly into its reward model. The Protection Pool is publicly auditable and seeded with 100 BTC in reserve capital.

On the compliance front, BitradeX holds both a UK FCA crypto license and a US MSB license, operating under institutional-grade custody frameworks, a five-tier risk control system, and a $20 million contingency reserve. These measures enable BitradeX to offer transparent, secure, and compliant services to retail and professional users alike.

Looking ahead, the platform plans to launch AI Strategy Labs in key markets including London, Hong Kong, and Singapore within the next 6 months. These hubs will allow developers and institutions to access and customize the ARK model through open APIs under a “Strategy-as-a-Service” framework — opening the door to fully modular and programmable crypto trading systems.

BitradeX is positioning itself as the infrastructure layer for the next generation of AI-native finance, delivering predictable performance, automated execution, and built-in protection — all on a globally compliant foundation.

BitradeX Secures £12 Million Series A to Accelerate Global Expansion of AI-Powered Trading Infrastructure

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Monday seeking $10 billion in damages from the BBC, accusing the British broadcaster of defamation as well as deceptive and unfair trade practices.

The 33-page lawsuit accuses the BBC of broadcasting a “false, defamatory, deceptive, disparaging, inflammatory, and malicious depiction of President Trump,” calling it “a brazen attempt to interfere in and influence” the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

It accused the BBC of “splicing together two entirely separate parts of President Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021” in order to ”intentionally misrepresent the meaning of what President Trump said.”

The BBC had apologized last month to Trump over the edit of the Jan. 6 speech. But the publicly funded broadcaster rejected claims it had defamed him, after Trump threatened legal action.

BBC chairman Samir Shah had called it an “error of judgment,” which triggered the resignations of the BBC’s top executive and its head of news.

The speech took place before some of Trump’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol as Congress was poised to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election that Trump falsely alleged was stolen from him.

The BBC had broadcast the hourlong documentary — titled “Trump: A Second Chance?” — days before the 2024 U.S. presidential election. It spliced together three quotes from two sections of the 2021 speech, delivered almost an hour apart, into what appeared to be one quote in which Trump urged supporters to march with him and “fight like hell.” Among the parts cut out was a section where Trump said he wanted supporters to demonstrate peacefully.
