Over 100 million users can now fund their TON Wallet using crypto from the most popular blockchains – no additional bridges, swaps or manual conversions required.
Wallet in Telegram today announced the launch of cross-chain deposits in its self-custodial TON Wallet, enabling users to fund their wallets with crypto from the most popular blockchains. Powered by MoonPay, the integration manages cross-chain transfers behind the scenes, ensuring a smooth deposit experience in TON Wallet.
With this launch, more than 100 million users can transfer their stablecoins from other chains to TON without friction or losing value. TON Wallet users can now deposit USDC or USDT from Ethereum, Solana, TRON, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Base – converted at a 1:1 rate to USDT (TON) – directly in Wallet in Telegram. This removes the need to already hold TON-native assets, opening the ecosystem to users across the broader crypto landscape. As part of the integration, users will soon be able to withdraw USDT on TON to USDT or USDC on popular blockchains with a fee and deposit BTC, ETH, and SOL, which are automatically converted into Toncoin.
This Launch Introduces the Following Functionality
- Stablecoin deposits from leading blockchains, allowing users to deposit USDC or USDT with automatic 1:1 conversion into USDT (TON)
- Stablecoin withdrawals from USDT (TON) to USDT or USDC on other major blockchains, processed at a 1:1 rate, subject to applicable network and service fees. Will be available soon.
- Crypto deposits from BTC, ETH, and SOL, which are automatically converted into Toncoin upon arrival in TON Wallet

Removing Barriers to Web3 Adoption on Telegram
Funding a self-custodial wallet has traditionally been a complex, multi-step process. Through its collaboration with MoonPay, Wallet in Telegram removes this friction by introducing a single, seamless deposit flow that works across blockchains and assets. As a result, cross-chain transfers are now as simple as custodial ones, significantly streamlining onboarding into TON Ecosystem – while preserving value by minimizing unnecessary conversion losses and fees.
“One of the biggest challenges in crypto adoption is the first step – getting users funded and ready to participate. Until now, using TON Wallet meant already having assets on TON, which created unnecessary friction and limited access to the broader ecosystem. Now, we’re removing that barrier entirely. Users can bring their funds directly into TON Wallet from other networks, without unnecessary conversions, exchanges or lock-ins,” said Andrew Rogozov, Founder and CEO of The Open Platform and Wallet in Telegram. “Our goal is simple: make entering, and exiting, TON ecosystem as seamless as using a custodial wallet, while preserving the freedom and control of self-custody.”
Powered by MoonPay Deposits and built on MoonPay’s infrastructure, the solution supports the end-to-end flow, from deposit detection to final asset delivery, and is integrated natively into partner environments
“Users shouldn’t have to buy new assets or navigate complex steps just to fund an account,” said Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO of MoonPay. “We simplify the process by letting people use the crypto they already have while we handle the technicalities behind the scenes, making it easier to move value across the ecosystem and access a broader range of applications.”
Funding a TON Wallet now takes just a few steps
- The Deposit section includes two options: Stablecoins (for 1:1 stablecoin deposits) and Other Crypto (for converting BTC, ETH, or SOL to TON).
- After selecting the token and the originating network, a deposit address is generated automatically.
- The deposit address can be copied or accessed via QR code.
- This address is entered on the withdrawal page of the external wallet or exchange.
- The transfer amount must meet the minimum deposit requirement.
- Once the details are verified, the transfer is confirmed on the sending platform.
Funds arrive in the user’s selected asset, fully compatible with TON ecosystem and Telegram’s growing network of decentralized applications.
Built for Scale, Native to Telegram
The new deposit experience is available exclusively in the self-custodial TON Wallet, part of Wallet in Telegram’s dual-wallet setup, and is fully integrated into the Telegram interface. By abstracting away cross-chain complexity, Wallet in Telegram makes it easier for users to participate in DeFi, gaming, payments, and on-chain apps – without needing deep crypto expertise.
This launch marks a major step toward making Telegram the most accessible Web3 gateway in the world, combining mass-market distribution with self-custody and open blockchain infrastructure.

Investing Yachts today introduced its real-world asset (RWA) yacht charter model, a blockchain-based approach designed to tokenize exposure to potential double-digit revenue generated by luxury yacht charter operations via their upcoming $YATE token. Being their ultimate goal to democratize access to all private equity sectors.
Positioning itself at the intersection of yachting and on-chain finance, Investing Yachts is built to remove traditional barriers associated with yacht investing—such as high minimum capital requirements, illiquidity, and operational complexity—by offering a token-based structure intended to be tradable on markets and supported by a managed charter fleet.
How the model is designed to work
At the core of the Investing Yachts model, the $YATE ecosystem connects charter activity to tokenholder incentives through a rules-based framework:
- Charter profit distribution: Up to 65% of annual net charter profits is intended to be distributed to tokenholders who lock $YATE into protocol “vaults,” with different lock periods associated with different maximum shares of the profit pool.
- Buyback & burn: A defined portion of net profits, 10%, is earmarked for buying back tokens and burning them, aiming to reduce circulating supply over time.
- Asset-tied issuance: New tokens are being minted in connection with acquiring additional yachts or other real-world assets, using a NAV-based issuance framework designed to align token supply with the underlying asset base and charter activity.
$YATE Token Pre-Sale
Investing Yachts states that the $YATE pre-sale is scheduled to open on February 25, 2026, with the goal of expanding community participation ahead of broader exchange availability.
As described on the website and in the whitepaper documentation, the pre-sale pricing is structured as follows:
- Initial price: 0.10 USDT per $YATE
- Dynamic increase: +0.75% price increase every 24 hours
- Duration: 9 months
- Target post–pre-sale listing price: 1.00 USDT
The documentation also outlines vesting terms for pre-sale tokens, as well as other mechanisms aligned to provide sustainable growth stability for the project, rewarding long-term holders and early adopters.
Broker Network and Market Positioning
The global yacht charter and yachting services market represents a multi-billion-dollar industry, traditionally limited to a small group of high-capital participants. Investing Yachts aims to use its RWA structure to broaden access by enabling community participation through $YATE, bringing a token-based framework to a segment that has historically remained offline and illiquid.
Investing Yachts has established relationships with experienced yacht brokers and industry intermediaries to support fleet sourcing and charter deployment. These connections are intended to strengthen the project’s ability to identify acquisition opportunities, negotiate terms, and access vessels aligned with demand in key charter regions.
Community and updates
Investing Yachts is publishing updates via social channels and encourages supporters to follow the project for pre-sale announcements, documentation updates, and roadmap progress:

About Investing Yachts
Investing Yachts is a blockchain platform described as an RWA project focused on tokenizing exposure to luxury yacht charter economics through the $YATE token (Ethereum ERC-20).
Investing Yachts lists a management team and advisory group spanning technology, yacht operations, finance, media, and international legal expertise.

A globally respected investor and founder of Real Vision brings decades of financial market insight to xMoney’s leadership team
xMoney, a leading provider of compliant payment infrastructure bridging traditional finance and digital assets, today announced that Raoul Pal has joined the company as a Strategic Advisor.
Raoul Pal is one of the most widely respected macro thinkers of his generation. An investor, entrepreneur, and financial commentator, he has spent decades analyzing how money moves, how markets evolve, and how technological shifts reshape global financial systems. His appointment comes at a pivotal moment, as global payments transition toward regulated digital rails, stablecoins, and on-chain settlement.
With Raoul’s strategic guidance, xMoney aims to further strengthen its position at the intersection of payments, regulation, and digital assets – building infrastructure that enables seamless value transfer across traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies, and stablecoins.
A Career Spanning Global Finance and Digital Assets
Raoul began his career in traditional finance, holding senior roles at Goldman Sachs, where he led hedge fund sales for equities and derivatives in Europe, and later at GLG Partners, where he co-managed a global macro fund alongside some of the world’s most respected hedge fund managers.
In 2005, he founded Global Macro Investor (GMI), which has since become a trusted research platform for hedge funds, family offices, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, registered investment advisors, and high-net-worth investors worldwide. GMI is widely recognized for its independent macro research and strong long-term performance track record.
Raoul co-founded Real Vision in 2014, transforming financial media by making institutional-grade market intelligence accessible to a global audience. What began as a video-first platform evolved into a global financial knowledge network with millions of users across nearly every country.
The new xMoney advisor is also the co-founder of Exponential Age Asset Management (EXPAAM), an investment firm built specifically for the digital asset economy. Its flagship fund, the Exponential Age Digital Asset Fund, provides curated exposure to top crypto hedge funds by combining macroeconomic frameworks with deep digital asset research.
Supporting the Future of Payments
Raoul’s long-standing belief is that the world is experiencing a structural shift in money, technology, and market infrastructure – not a temporary trend. Payments, in particular, are undergoing one of the most significant transformations in decades.
Unlike many payment platforms that expand globally first and retrofit compliance later, xMoney has taken a regional-first approach, building its infrastructure within Europe, one of the most highly regulated financial environments in the world. This strategy enables xMoney to meet stringent regulatory standards from day one, while creating a scalable foundation for global expansion aligned with frameworks such as MiCA.
“Crypto only fulfills its promise when it disappears into the background,” said Raoul Pal. “The real winners will be the platforms that make global payments simple, compliant, and invisible. That’s what excites me the most about xMoney.”
As Strategic Advisor, Raoul will work closely with xMoney’s leadership team, focusing on long-term strategy, market structure, and anticipating how global money movement will evolve as regulated stablecoins, compliant on-chain settlement, and hybrid payment models become foundational financial infrastructure.
“We’re building payment rails for the future, starting in the most regulated markets first,” said Gregorious Siourounis, Co-Founder & CEO of xMoney. “That discipline gives us a structural advantage as digital assets move into mainstream finance. Raoul’s depth of experience, macro insight, and clarity of thought reinforce our belief that long-term winners in payments will be compliant, scalable, and globally interoperable.”
The appointment underscores xMoney’s commitment to building a compliant, scalable payment infrastructure that bridges traditional finance and Web3, enabling businesses and consumers to transact seamlessly across borders, currencies, and technologies.
About xMoney
xMoney is a pioneering payments company with strategic European licenses, focused on building a seamless, secure, and future-ready payments ecosystem. By combining cutting-edge technology, strong regulatory compliance, and a broad product suite spanning traditional and digital assets, xMoney bridges traditional finance and next-generation payment rails.

4 Questions This Article Answers
- Why is wallet activity on public blockchains easier to track than most investors think?
- How can a proxy server help reduce links between your wallet and your real-world identity?
- What proxy features matter most for investors, like sticky vs rotating IPs and IP source?
- What off-chain behaviors create the biggest privacy leaks, even before a transaction happens?
If you invest on public blockchains, you are operating in a market where transparency cuts both ways. The same open ledger that makes settlement fast also makes patterns easy to spot. A single address can become a long-running “identity,” even if your real name never appears on-chain. Over time, routine habits like reusing addresses, moving funds after a paycheck hits, or swapping into the same assets can create a profile that is surprisingly easy to follow.
This matters now because crypto is no longer a niche corner of finance. Privacy, in this context, is not about hiding something. It is about reducing your surface area so your portfolio does not double as a beacon for scams, doxxing, or targeted attacks. The goal is simple: keep your wallet activity from being trivially connected to your everyday online footprint.
The privacy layer many investors skip
Most investors understand that public blockchains are, by design, easy to observe. What is less obvious is how much “side data” gets created around your on-chain activity. Your wallet address may be pseudonymous, but the path you take to interact with crypto often is not.
Now, we will talk about proxy server solutions that some of you may think are just for tech savvies, whereas the reality is different, and it brings value to almost anyone involved in digital activities. In simple terms, when you use a Proxy, your traffic goes to the Proxy server first, and then from there to the website or service. The site doesn’t see your real home or office IP address. Instead, it sees the IP address of the Proxy server.
In practice, there are a few moving parts investors should care about:
- the protocol layer: some services are built for basic web traffic, while others handle a wider set of connections
- how the IP behaves over time: a “sticky” setup keeps the same exit IP for a period, which helps if you want consistency for logins and sessions, while a rotating setup changes IPs on a schedule or per request, which helps reduce long-running patterns
- the source of the IP itself: some proxies are clearly data-center based, while others look more like consumer traffic, and each option has trade-offs in stability, speed, and how often you get blocked by anti-bot systems
The investing use case is not only about execution. Even read-only behavior can be revealing. If the same network identity repeatedly checks a small cluster of addresses, queries the same contracts, and visits the same research pages, that behavior can be correlated over time. Thoughtful investors use proxies to segment activities: research from one network identity, monitoring from another, and execution from a third. The point is compartmentalization.
Good proxy solutions also support clean separation at the device and browser level, which is important because an IP address is only one signal. Cookies, browser fingerprints, and wallet connection patterns can still tie activity together if you are careless. Used well, a proxy server is one layer in a broader routine: reduce linkability, limit repeated patterns, and make it harder for outsiders to connect your wallet behavior to your day-to-day identity.
Wallet identity leaks usually start off-chain
Investors often picture “wallet tracking” as something that happens only on a block explorer. In reality, the most damaging links are frequently built off-chain, then used to interpret what is happening on-chain. Social engineering, credential theft, and simple pattern matching do a lot of the work.
Recent data shows how intense that off-chain pressure is. The Anti-Phishing Working Group said there were over 1 million phishing attacks in just the first three months of 2025.
The FBI’s internet crime center also reported 859,532 complaints in 2024, with people losing more than $16 billion. Of that, over $6.5 billion in losses came from cryptocurrency investment scams.
| Off-chain leak path | What gets tied together | Recent data point | Why investors care |
| Phishing pages and fake sign-ins | Device, credentials, session tokens | 1,003,924 phishing attacks in Q1 2025 | A single stolen session can expose holdings and transaction intent |
| Impersonation and “support” scams | Personal details plus wallet actions | Crypto-related investment fraud losses over $6.5B (IC3 2024) | Attackers tailor messages using your real activity and timing |
| Routine browsing and repeated queries | Network identity and wallet interests | 859,532 complaints reported to IC3 (2024) | Patterns can be used to target you when you are most active |
| Public posts and shared screenshots | Social identity and wallet history | Losses exceeding $16B reported to IC3 (2024) | Once linked, your on-chain history becomes a permanent dossier |
The takeaway from these numbers is not that everyone is doomed. It is that the threat model for investors is broader than “keep your seed phrase safe.” The more your wallet behavior can be connected to your everyday online identity, the easier it is for attackers to craft believable lures or time outreach when you are likely to respond.
Treat transparency as a feature, then manage the side effects
Public blockchains make verification easy, but that same openness changes what “personal privacy” means for investors. As a Federal Reserve research note puts it, “One important differentiating characteristic of public permissionless blockchains is their transparency.” If you assume your activity can be observed, the sensible move is to reduce how easily observers can connect it back to you.
Habits that lower your exposure
That starts with habits that limit linkability. Reusing the same address for everything is convenient, but it creates a single thread that never breaks. Separating addresses by purpose, keeping long-term holdings away from day-to-day activity, and avoiding predictable “I always move funds right after I log in” routines can reduce how much signal you give away. None of this requires paranoia. It is the same mindset investors already use elsewhere: diversify risk, avoid single points of failure, and do not make yourself an easy target.
It also helps to think of “wallet security” as a stack. Key custody matters, but so does where you connect from, what device you use, and what you click when you are in a hurry. The FBI’s 2024 IC3 report recorded $16.6 billion in losses, up 33% from 2023, which is a reminder that scams scale when targets are easy to reach. When your crypto activity is neatly tied to your normal browsing identity, you become easier to reach with highly specific, high-pressure messages.
The most effective approach is layered and boring: separate identities, keep routines consistent, and avoid mixing “public you” with “portfolio you.” In crypto, boredom is a feature. It means fewer surprises.
TL;DR
- Public blockchains make patterns easy to track, so a wallet can become a long-term identity.
- Most privacy leaks start off-chain through browsing, logins, and repeated research behavior.
- Proxy server solutions mask your real IP and help separate research, monitoring, and execution.
- Sticky vs rotating IPs and the IP source matter for stability, access, and avoiding blocks.
- Proxies work best as one layer alongside habits like separating addresses and avoiding predictable routines.
As a medium, video games have long stopped being just mere entertainment and pastime. As a legitimate hobby that can be educational, stimulating, and engaging, modern titles serve multiple purposes. While having fun and unwinding after a tough day at work or school will always be their primary function, games have become increasingly more intriguing, advanced, and peculiar in how they utilize both graphics and gameplay elements.
Nowadays, you can play just about anything, especially when they are genre bending and unique in the way they approach the user and what they offer. From history and geography to politics, science, and art, there is nothing that a modern game cannot teach you. And even if it does not focus on a particular skill or area applicable in the real world, problem solving, logical thinking, and attention to detail always benefit from them.
In the vast industry that is gaming, oftentimes it is the indie (independent) games by smaller studios that cause the most talk when innovation and breakthroughs are considered. While the AAA studios and industry leaders try to stick to what works to appeal to the shareholders and not stain their reputation with something new and different, indie games are not afraid of experimentation and novel ideas. The prime example of this is the popular game called Turmoil, a title all about the 19th century oil rush in the United States. If you think something like this cannot be a fun game that glues you to the screen and offers countless hours of fun, think again. Read on to learn why the game is so addictive and why this era of history is so popular these days.
What is the Turmoil Game?
Turmoil is an indie simulation and management game developed and published by Gamious that puts you in the shoes of an aspiring oil entrepreneur during a stylized version of the 19th century North American oil rush. It started life in Steam Early Access in 2015 and was fully released on June 2, 2016, for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Later, it expanded to platforms like Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, as well as mobile versions for both iOS and Android. The setting is playful rather than serious, as you lease land at auctions, dig for oil with various tools like dowsers and scanners, build rigs and pipe networks, store your crude oil in silos, and sell it at opportune moments to outcompete rival tycoons and grow your town. There is a campaign mode with AI competitors, a procedural single game mode with millions of level variations, and even local and online multiplayer options on some versions. The latter is the most popular if you enjoy competition and want to prove your skills among the best Turmoil players out there.
The core gameplay in Turmoil is deliberately simple but very diverse and strategic. Each round typically lasts about one in game year, during which you must manage drilling operations, transport logistics, and fluctuating oil prices. Every aspect of the endeavor is yours to control, and how well you perform impacts everything. You dig vertically and then horizontally to find rich oil pockets, decide how many wagons and storage silos to invest in, and choose when to sell. Just like in the real world, waiting for high prices can pay off, but holding too long can backfire and cause you to lose considerable leverage. Upgrades are crucial for progress and include things like better tools and wider pipes. Gas utilization helps optimize production, and the rival tycoons add a light competitive pressure. The art style is charming with a lighthearted tone, akin to most indie titles, and the interface is approachable, which makes it easy for newcomers to pick up while still offering some satisfying decision making for experience tycoon genre fans.
In terms of popularity and reception, Turmoil has been a modest success in the indie scene. On Steam, it enjoys a “Very Positive” user rating, with over 5,000 positive reviews and around 92% favorable feedback in recent reviews. This is a good result as it indicates a strong community appreciation for its quirky, addictive gameplay loop. Critics, as aggregated on Metacritic, gave it a Mixed or Average score of around 73/100, praising its accessibility and strategic elements but noting that the simplicity can become repetitive over time. Users agree with this sentiment, with many enjoying the relaxing, “just one more run” feel, while others find the core loop too limited for long term play. But alas, that is usually the case with independent, “smaller” games like this one. Some console storefronts report high average user star ratings as well (~4.38/5 on PlayStation platforms). Overall, Turmoil is seen as a fun, casual business simulator that is easy to get into and perfect for short sessions, though perhaps light on depth for those seeking a deeper tycoon experience. It has also served as inspiration for other titles across genres and industries, for example…
Drill Casino Game by Stake
Stake Original’s Drill is a fast paced, burst style casino game built around simplicity and big win potential that keeps fans coming back for more. So what is it about, and how to play the Drill game? At its core, allows the players to set a wager, choose a target multiplier, and then pick one of three drills before each round begins. Once the round starts, all three drills begin “digging” downward, revealing increasing multipliers as they go. If the drill you backed reaches or exceeds your chosen multiplier, you win that round and collect your payout. If it stops short, you lose your bet. This clear and direct risk reward mechanic makes the game easy to learn and quick to play, even for newcomers. Similar to the rest of the Stake Originals library of games that keeps growing, it is a straightforward, simple, yet very engaging and fun time.
What sets Drill apart from many casino titles is its simple yet strategic choice of drill and target. Although only your selected drill matters for your bet outcome, watching the other two drills progress adds a psychological thrill and decision making layer: do you trust your pick and keep at it, or switch for the next round? With a provably fair random number generator and transparency tools, every round’s outcome can be independently verified for fairness, which adds trust and confidence for players who enjoy that level of transparency. The game also boasts a high return to player (RTP) percentage of about 98% and a low house edge, making it appealing for those chasing value while still enjoying the risk inherent in gambling. Perhaps the biggest source of excitement is the massive maximum payout of up to 2,000,000× your bet.
The Obsession and Fascination With the Oil Rush
Whether it is Turmoil, playing Drill online, watching a popular show about this setting like Blood & Oil or Landman, or a big Hollywood blockbustersuch as There Will be Blood or Killers of the Flower Moon, the popularity of and fascination with this period in history cannot be overstated. Both the creatives behind these projects and the fans that consume them are equally obsessed with it and keep being inspired to learn more through various depictions. A simple question arises: why? Why is this period so relevant and prevalent, and enjoys so much attention from the modern man?
The oil rush has remained a compelling subject in movies, television series, video games, and documentaries because it represents a volatile combination of ambition, wealth, technology, and human cost. Like the gold rush that came before it, these oil boom stories are built around transformation. The barren land becomes suddenly valuable, ordinary people turn into tycoons or casualties, and societies are reshaped almost overnight. Visual media thrives on these extremes. Films and shows often depict oil fields as modern frontiers, places where law, morality, and identity are tested under immense pressure.
The iconic imagery of towering derricks, roaring flames, and desolate landscapes is more than enough to showcase powerful symbolism for the onset of progress and destruction alike. Games and documentaries further extend this fascination by allowing audiences to participate in or closely observe the systems behind extraction, speculation, and power, as well as shady background deals that the common folk are never privy to. These portrayals tap into universal themes of risk and reward, greed and ingenuity, making the oil rush feel both historically specific and timeless in its emotional stakes.
Simply put, people remain drawn to the oil rush because its consequences are still unfolding in the present day. Oil wealth shaped modern geopolitics, corporate power, environmental debates, and patterns of inequality that continue to define global society. Revisiting this era allows storytellers to explore the origins of today’s energy dependence and the myths that grew around industrial success. The oil rush is often framed as a cautionary tale as much as a celebration, since it portrays how unchecked ambition can create fortunes while eroding entire communities and ecosystems.
At the same time, it appeals to a deep cultural fascination with self made power, where individuals challenge nature itself in pursuit of dominance and legacy. The persistence of oil rush narratives in popular media reflects a collective attempt to understand how progress is achieved and at what cost. As long as oil remains central to economies and environmental conflict, the stories of its discovery and exploitation will continue to resonate. As they did before, these accounts will serve as mirrors through which audiences examine both past dreams and present anxieties.
FAQs About the Oil Rush
Why is 1859 called the beginning of the modern oil industry?
In 1859, Edwin L. Drake successfully drilled the first commercial oil well in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Unlike earlier oil collection methods that skimmed surface seepage only, drilling made large scale extraction possible and transformed oil into a major industrial commodity.
What did people use oil for before gasoline cars existed?
The primary product was kerosene, used for lighting homes and streets. Oil also replaced whale oil, helping to reduce pressure on declining whale populations and reshaping global energy consumption decades before automobiles.
Why did Pennsylvania become the center of the early oil rush instead of the West?
Oil naturally seeped to the surface in western Pennsylvania, making its presence obvious. The region also had navigable and familiar rivers, railroads, and nearby refineries. All of this allowed oil to be transported and processed efficiently compared to more remote western territories.
How chaotic were early oil boomtowns?
Extremely chaotic. Towns like Pithole, Pennsylvania, sprang up almost overnight with thousands of residents, saloons, hotels, and speculators, but often collapsed just as quickly once nearby wells dried up. This earned them the nickname “instant cities.”
What dangerous working conditions did oil drillers face?
Workers dealt with frequent explosions, toxic gases, collapsing derricks, and fires caused by highly flammable crude oil. There were few safety regulations, and accidents were common and often deadly.
How did the oil rush change transportation and infrastructure?
The need to move oil led to innovations such as pipelines, tank cars, and specialized refineries. These developments laid the groundwork for modern energy infrastructure and helped standardize industrial transportation systems.
What role did speculation play in the oil boom?
Speculation fueled rapid investment and equally rapid financial ruin. Many people bought land leases or shares in oil companies hoping to strike it rich, but price volatility and overproduction caused frequent market crashes.
How did John D. Rockefeller reshape the oil industry?
Rockefeller used vertical integration and aggressive business tactics to consolidate refining, transportation, and sales under Standard Oil. By the 1880s, his company controlled most U.S. oil refining, setting precedents for both corporate power and antitrust laws.
Did Indigenous peoples interact with oil before the 19th century rush?
Yes. Indigenous communities had long used surface oil for medicine, waterproofing, and ceremonial purposes. Early settlers learned about oil’s usefulness from Indigenous knowledge but rarely credited or compensated those communities.
Why is the 19th century oil rush still relevant today?
It established the foundations of the global petroleum economy, influenced modern corporate practices, and set patterns of boom and bust resource extraction that continue to affect energy policy and economies worldwide. Geopolitics is shaped by it with disputes, sanctions, trade wars, and real wars all over oil.
Exploring the lives and careers of celebrities is hardly a novelty interest among us common folk. When someone is popular, successful, rich, and famous, we cannot help but wonder what it is like to be in their shoes. How do they live? What do they do? Are they really just people like everyone else? Depending on the person in question, there can be more or less the same. Some are down to earth, while others are completely immersed and cut off from the real world. One of the major areas of showbiz that fans enjoy knowing is the net worth the stars possess.
With that being said, right here and now, we focus on the popular Afrobeats singer, producer, and songwriter who has transformed the genre and put Nigeria and Africa on the map, the one and only, Davido. Through his unique background, he had the perfect platform to explore an intriguing area in music and bring about a revolution that the fans would resonate with. Over the course of the last decade or so, he has managed to do exactly that. Now, as an established artist with several awards and numerous nominations to his name, Davido is still going strong and creating new music. But how successful has he been in terms of wealth? Did his career transfer success transfer into his bank account and possessions?
Davido’s Net Worth in 2026
As of January 2026, Davido has a reported net worth of between $100 million and $120 million, which makes him one of the richest musicians in Africa. His wealth comes from music sales and streaming, sold out world tours, lucrative brand endorsements, his own record label, and various business investments. A major part of Davido’s lifestyle and estimated net worth is tied to luxury real estate. He owns high end properties, including a mansion in Banana Island, Lagos, valued in the millions, and other residences in Atlanta, Georgia, along with additional holdings both in Nigeria and abroad that contribute to his long term asset base.
Davido also maintains an impressive car collection worth millions of dollars, featuring exotic and high end vehicles by luxury brands like Rolls Royce models Spectre and Cullinan, Mercedes Maybachs, a Lamborghini Aventador, a Bentley Bentayga, several Ferrari models, and more. These cars serve as lifestyle symbols, investments, and brand elements in his public image. While Davido is frequently seen flying on a Bombardier private jet, public records indicate that the aircraft is owned through his father and family’s business rather than in his personal name, though he uses it for international tours and travel.
He Was Born Into Wealth
Most fans know about the singer’s back story and family wealth. In all honesty, he had a privileged upbringing due to his parents’ position and influence, but all that he achieved is his own accomplishment. Still, it cannot be overlooked, so let us see exactly where he comes from and what his parents’ occupation meant for his childhood and early adolescence. Born David Adedeji Adeleke on November 21, 1992, Davido had a childhood shaped by privilege, global exposure, and strong family influence. Without a doubt, it played a major role in his later confidence and ambition as an artist. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States, but grew up primarily in Lagos, Nigeria, in an affluent household that placed a high value on education, discipline, and achievement.
His father, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, is a highly successful Nigerian businessman and philanthropist, widely regarded as one of the country’s wealthiest private sector figures. He has major interests in real estate, energy, finance, and education, so his financial success and everything that comes with it meant that Davido never experienced material hardship or worry of any sort and was raised in a secure, elite environment. Therefore, he had every chance to chase his dreams and pick whatever career he wanted. Davido’s mother, Veronica Imade Adeleke, was a university lecturer and intellectual who strongly supported education and cultural development. Sadly, she passed away in 2003 when Davido was still a child, an event that deeply affected him emotionally and has been referenced as a turning point in his life. As of 2026, Davido’s father has a net worth of anywhere between $1.7 and $2.5 billion.
Davido attended prestigious schools, including the British International School in Lagos, and was exposed early to Western and African cultures, music, and lifestyles, which later influenced his sound. Despite his father’s initial preference for a traditional academic or business career, Davido gravitated toward music from a young age, experimenting with instruments and production while growing up in a home that could afford top tier resources and equipment. His upbringing combined wealth, loss, discipline, and freedom, creating a foundation that helped him pursue music boldly while benefiting from family support, networks, and financial stability that eased his entry into the industry.
Music Career and Discography
Regarding his own career and the life he has made for himself, his music career is by far the biggest contributor to his net worth, as he is one of the most influential artists to emerge from Africa’s contemporary music scene. He burst onto the mainstream in 2011 with the explosive single “Dami Duro,” which announced a confident new voice in Afrobeats and quickly made him a household name. Trained partly in music production, Davido blended Nigerian rhythms with pop, dancehall, and R&B influences, which created a sound that travelled easily across borders. Over the years, he released a string of hit singles, including “Gobe,” “Aye,” “If,” “Fall,” “FEM,” and “Unavailable,” all songs that dominated radio, clubs, and streaming platforms. His ability to deliver catchy hooks, emotive melodies, and streetwise energy helped him build a loyal global fan base and position Afrobeats firmly on the world stage.
His studio albums have marked important phases of his growth, beginning with Omo Baba Olowo, followed by A Good Time, A Better Time, and Timeless, each showcasing maturity, ambition, and international reach. These projects produced chart topping records and featured collaborations with artists from Africa, Europe, and the United States alike. Davido’s impact has been recognized with numerous awards, including multiple Headies, MTV Africa Music Awards, BET Awards, and international nominations that reflect his crossover success. Beyond trophies, he is credited with opening doors for a new generation of African artists by proving that music from the continent can compete globally.
Davido’s Sponsorship Deal with Stake
The sponsorship deal between Stake and Davido marks one of the most high profile collaborations in the iGaming and entertainment world. In this partnership, the globally renowned Afrobeats superstar has been appointed as a global brand ambassador for Stake, a leading cryptocurrency based online casino and sports betting platform, where he, too, enjoys playing casino titles by Pragmatic games on Stake.com. The collaboration brings together two brands driven by ambition, cultural influence, and global reach. The singer’s role goes far beyond a standard endorsement, as he represents Stake across major campaigns, digital platforms, and international markets, particularly strengthening the brand’s presence in Africa and among younger, music driven audiences worldwide.
Considering Nigeria’s love of football and basketball, among other sports, it is a fruitful market for sports betting, while Africa as a whole is big on entertainment, especially music. Through his influence, Davido helps position Stake as a lifestyle brand that helps entertainment, sports, and technology meet organically and influence each other. Fans can expect immersive campaigns, exclusive promotions, creative content, and experiences that merge his music, personality, and global appeal with Stake’s ever evolving interactive gaming ecosystem.
Non Music Sources of Income and Wealth
Over the years, the Nigerian-American Afrobeats superstar has built an extensive portfolio of brand partnerships and sponsorships that span multiple industries. Apart from his success in music, this showcases his commercial appeal both within Africa and globally, which his entrepreneurial mind (he got from his dad, no doubt) has utilized in the best way possible. Early in his career, he secured endorsement deals with MTN Nigeria, becoming the face of its MTN Pulse campaign. He also struck a deal with Guinness Nigeria that aligned his image with major consumer brands early on. He later became a brand ambassador for global beverage giant Pepsi as part of its African marketing efforts.
In the tech and mobile space, Davido signed with Infinix Mobile, a deal that included collaborative products like limited edition devices tied to his brand. In 2021, he expanded into sportswear and fashion via a long term global ambassadorship with Puma that sees him promoting Sportstyle collections across Africa and beyond. It is a big name brand that puts him in the same company with footballer Jack Grealish, NBA player Tyrese Haliburton, and BLACKPINK singer Rose. That same year, he also teamed up with Martell Cognac. Davido’s endorsement reach extends into banking and fintech, too, as he has represented Wema Bank’s digital arm ALAT and has been reported to partner with fintech firms like MoneyGram and Flutterwave. Consumer goods partnerships include becoming an ambassador for snack brand Munch It and household detergent Viva, while travel brand Travelbeta enlisted him to promote its services.
More recently, in 2024, he signed with Chinese automobile manufacturer GAC Motors through its Nigerian representative, using his appeal in the automotive sector. In 2025, Davido also became global ambassador for the crypto linked betting platform Stake.com in what has been described as one of the largest endorsement deals by an African artist. As a popular singer with tens of millions of fans and a strong social media presence, it goes without saying that deals, promotions, ad campaigns, and marketing are all big parts of his portfolio. Across these collaborations, Davido’s sponsorships and partnerships help amplify both his music career and the visibility of the brands he represents. He also has his own business ventures, like the record label Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), which he founded in 2016.

What Brave helped mainstream for private browsing, Anuma brings to AI with private, user-owned memory and AI Portal-based interoperability powered by ZetaChain 2.0.
ZetaChain today announced the beta launch and public waitlist for Anuma, a privacy-first AI interface built on ZetaChain 2.0. ZetaChain also introduced ZetaChain 2.0, a new AI interoperability layer designed to help developers build applications and agents that work across AI models, preserve private user context, and monetize globally without backend infrastructure.
ZetaChain Core Contributor Ankur Nandwani previously co-created Basic Attention Token (BAT), which powers the Brave browser ecosystem with over 100M monthly active users. Brave helped mainstream privacy-first browsing by blocking trackers and ads by default. Anuma applies that same “privacy and user control by default” approach to the next major consumer interface of AI where context and memory increasingly define user experience.
AI adoption is accelerating at internet scale: McKinsey notes that ChatGPT reached 100 million users in two months, and OpenAI has reported 800 million weekly active users by late 2025. Yet the ecosystem remains fragmented, with only 9% of consumers paying for more than one AI subscription across major assistants. This combination creates lock-in at the model layer and forces developers to repeatedly rebuild the same integration, routing, state, and billing infrastructure, while privacy and data are routinely shared across applications, agents, and model providers.
ZetaChain was built to address fragmentation in Web3 by enabling universal apps — applications that can natively access assets like BTC and execute across multiple blockchains through a single platform. In 2025, the ZetaChain network scaled to more than 11.5 million users and processed more than 225 million transactions. With ZetaChain 2.0, ZetaChain is extending this unification thesis to AI so applications can operate across both chains and models, with permissions and private context built in.
ZetaChain 2.0 is composed of two core components:
- AI Portal: A unified routing and execution layer that allows applications to access multiple AI model providers without lock-in, with built-in support for availability, fallback, and cost-performance optimization.
- Private Memory Layer: A protocol-level memory system designed to keep user context encrypted and permissioned, enabling persistent experiences across sessions while maintaining user control over what applications and agents can access.
Developer SDK and Platform
ZetaChain 2.0 is designed to scale as a developer platform. Alongside the protocol components, ZetaChain is releasing a developer SDK that packages private persistent memory, cross-model interoperability, and monetization primitives into a single toolkit. The goal is to make it straightforward to build privacy-first apps and agents that can maintain continuity across sessions, connect to multiple model providers, and support global monetization rails from onchain settlement to traditional payment processors without requiring teams to build bespoke infrastructure.
Anuma: First Consumer Showcase
Anuma is the first consumer AI interface built on ZetaChain 2.0. The product provides access to multiple leading AI models through a single experience, supports switching between models without losing context, and is designed so memory remains private and user-controlled. Users can request early access through the public waitlist.
“Brave and BAT proved that privacy-first defaults can win at consumer scale,” said Ankur Nandwani, Core Contributor at ZetaChain. “We’ve already unified the blockchain experience at scale, powering more than 225 million transactions. ZetaChain 2.0 extends that same approach to AI, enabling the next generation of apps and agents that run across models and chains with private, permissioned memory and global monetization by default.”
In 2023, ZetaChain announced a $27 million funding round with participation from Blockchain.com, Human Capital, VY Capital, Sky9 Capital, Jane Street Capital, VistaLabs, CMT Digital, Foundation Capital, Lingfeng Capital, GSR, and others.
About ZetaChain
ZetaChain is the universal layer for AI and Web3, letting developers build apps that run across chains and models, keep memory private, and monetize without infrastructure. With native connectivity across major blockchains and an AI interoperability stack powered by a Private Memory Layer, ZetaChain is building the foundation for the next generation of apps, agents, and experiences.

TokenFi, a next-generation platform focused on tokenization for real-world assets and digital economies, has launched a major branding and awareness campaign across Italy ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The four-week campaign will begin Jan. 26 and is strategically designed to capture the attention of a global, high-net-worth audience traveling to Italy for the Games.
As part of the initiative, TokenFi has secured a full digital arrivals takeover at Venice Marco Polo Airport, one of the primary international gateways for Olympic visitors, along with two fully wrapped trams operating across central Milan.
Targeting a premium global audience
The Winter Olympics draw a diverse international audience, including professionals, athletes, and spectators, some of whom are showing growing interest in blockchain and digital asset technologies.
With foot traffic across Italy’s airports and public transportation systems expected to surge during the Olympic period, TokenFi aims to position its brand in front of millions of international travelers aligned with the future of tokenized assets.
At Venice Marco Polo Airport, immersive digital displays will introduce arriving travelers to TokenFi from the moment they land, placing the brand front and center during one of the busiest travel periods Italy has ever experienced. In Milan, the fully wrapped TokenFi trams will operate on major routes throughout the city, serving as mobile billboards in Italy’s financial and cultural capital.
A shift toward real-world visibility for crypto brands
For the global crypto community, the campaign signals a broader shift in how blockchain companies approach brand building. Rather than relying solely on digital-native channels, TokenFi is placing its presence in iconic, high-traffic physical environments.
This approach has been pioneered by TokenFi and Floki, which have focused heavily on mainstream brand recognition as the digital asset industry matures.
“The 2026 Winter Olympics present a rare opportunity to place TokenFi in front of a truly global, highly influential audience,” Pedro Vidal, a TokenFi spokesperson said. “This campaign isn’t just about visibility, it’s about validating the role of tokenization on the world stage and energizing the crypto community as we enter a pivotal era for Web3 adoption.”
Positioning tokenization on the global stage
TokenFi’s presence across Venice and Milan underscores its ambition to play a leading role in the global tokenization movement. As interest in real-world asset tokenization accelerates among both institutional and retail investors, the company is using the Olympic spotlight to reinforce its brand at the intersection of finance, technology, and global culture.
The campaign will run throughout the Olympic season, maximizing exposure during peak international travel and setting the stage for TokenFi’s next phase of global growth.
