戴尔斯公司审查了40年的关于技术冲击带来的“伤痕”数据,发现Z世代可能是最能应对的难题

(SeaPRwire) - 華爾街最受關注的經濟團隊對被AI取代的勞工提出警告:這種傷害可能會持續數年。但令人意外的是,原本預期會承受即將到來的科技衝擊最沉重打擊的一群人——剛畢業的大學生——實際上可能最有能力度過難關。 在週一發布的研究報告中,Goldman Sachs經濟學家Pierfrancesco Mei與Jessica Rindels利用四十年的個人層級數據,評估科技取代對美國勞工造成的「疤痕效應」。他們的結論令人警醒:被科技取代工作的勞工不僅短期內面臨困境,可能還需要花費近十年的時間才能恢復。 「在失業後的十年間,被科技取代的勞工實際收入增長比從未失業的勞工少了近10個百分點,比其他原因失業的勞工少了5個百分點。」報告指出。 研究團隊透過勞工統計局(Bureau of Labor Statistics)贊助的全國縱向調查(National Longitudinal Surveys),追蹤了兩個世代的超過20,000人——一個是1950至60年代出生,另一個是1980年代出生。透過識別自1980年以來每個十年中受科技驅動就業下滑最嚴重的職業,他們得以繪製出被自動化波及的勞工完整職業生涯軌跡。 即時痛苦真實存在 短期狀況相當艱難。從受科技衝擊的職業中被取代的勞工,找到新工作的時間大約比來自較穩定領域的失業者多一個月,且重新就業時的實際收入損失比後者多3%以上。Goldman發現,核心原因在於職業降級:被取代的勞工往往會轉向更常規、需要更少分析與人際技巧的職位,這是因為導致他們失去舊工作的科技力量,也侵蝕了他們既有技能的市場價值。 疤痕效應不僅止於薪資。Goldman發現,在職業生涯早期(25至35歲之間)被取代的勞工,長期累積的財富較少,主要原因是他們推遲購屋。與從未失業的同儕相比,他們在任何年齡結婚的可能性也更低,這表明經濟衝擊也會波及他們的個人生活。 經濟衰退讓一切雪上加霜 Goldman最緊迫的警告或許與時機有關。在經濟衰退期間,當效率壓力達到頂峰時,企業會不成比例地裁減常規工作。對勞工而言,在衰退時期被科技取代,會使他們與其他失業者之間本已痛苦的差距進一步擴大:失業時間多了約三周,重新失業和完全退出勞動力市場的風險各增加五個百分點。隨著AI應用在宏觀經濟異常不確定的時刻加速,這種複合風險難以忽視。 Z世代的逆轉 這份報告在這點上挑戰了主流敘事。公眾對AI驅動的失業擔憂大多集中在年輕勞工身上——尤其是進入日益受自動化影響的就業市場的新畢業生。但Goldman的數據顯示了不同的情況:年輕、受過大學教育的城市勞工,在失業後十年內的累積收入損失大約是其他被科技取代勞工的一半。他們的優勢在於靈活性:他們更願意轉換職業,並向上提升技能階梯,進入具有更高分析含量的職位,這些職位與新科技互補而非競爭。 「與當前認為AI成本將特別沉重打擊新畢業生的擔憂相反,年輕勞工過去實際上能夠透過職業流動性和技能提升更靈活地調整。」報告指出。 再培訓也有助於減輕衝擊。在被取代後三年內參加職業或技術課程的勞工,在接下來的十年中累積工資增長大約多了兩個百分點,重新失業的機率則降低了十個百分點。 Goldman多年來一直估計,未來十年AI可能會取代6%至7%的美國勞工。這項涵蓋四十年數據的研究顯示,最應該擔心的勞工並非年輕人,而是年齡較大、流動性較低、擁有高度職業特定技能且沒有防衰退時機優勢的勞工。 在撰寫這篇報導時,記者使用生成式AI作為研究工具。編輯在發布前驗證了資訊的準確性。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

高盛:AI每月裁減美國1.6萬個工作崗位,Z世代首當其衝 News

高盛:AI每月裁減美國1.6萬個工作崗位,Z世代首當其衝

(SeaPRwire) - Goldman Sachs 經濟學家的新研究發現,人工智慧已經對美國就業市場產生了可量化的拖累——在過去一年中,每月淨減少約 16,000 個工作崗位,而最受衝擊的是 Z 世代和初階工作者。 Goldman 的細分數據顯示,過去一年中,人工智慧替代每月消除了約 25,000 個工作崗位,而增強效應則增加了約 9,000 個。 這些發現包含在由經濟學家 Elsie Peng 撰寫的 Goldman Sachs US Daily 報告中,代表了迄今為止最細緻的嘗試之一,旨在區分人工智慧對就業的兩種競爭效應:替代(即人工智慧直接取代人類工作者)和增強(即人工智慧使現有工作者更具生產力,甚至可能擴大招聘)。 Goldman 的經濟學家結合了標準的人工智慧暴露分數與國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)經濟學家開發的互補性指數,構建了這個新框架。在該模型下,當人工智慧能夠處理某職業的大部分核心任務時(例如保險理賠文員和帳單催收員),該職業的替代風險得分就高。當人工智慧處理部分任務,但人類判斷、實體存在或專業知識仍然不可或缺時(例如律師、建築經理和醫師),該職業的增強潛力得分就高。 Z 世代受衝擊最嚴重 在人工智慧替代風險最高的職業中,初階工作者(30歲以下)與資深工作者(31-50歲)之間的失業率差距,相較於疫情前的平均水平已急劇擴大。 薪資差距也同樣惡化,Goldman 的回歸分析估計,人工智慧替代暴露度每增加一個標準差,會使初階與資深工作者的薪資差距擴大約 3.3 個百分點。 這種動態反映了年輕人進入勞動力市場的結構性脆弱。Z 世代工作者過度集中在那些例行性、白領和行政類的職位上——數據輸入、客戶服務、法律支援、帳務處理——這些正是人工智慧最擅長自動化的領域。由於缺乏資深工作者所擁有的累積經驗和專業判斷作為緩衝,他們幾乎無力抵禦被取代的命運。 Goldman 正在關注的一線希望 Goldman 的經濟學家謹慎指出,人工智慧真正的總體影響可能小於他們的估計。該分析未能完全捕捉到與人工智慧基礎設施投資(如數據中心、電力系統和建築)相關的抵消性招聘激增,也未完全計入人工智慧驅動的生產力提升在降低成本、擴大市場時所產生的增量勞動力需求。 此外,Goldman 的框架並非基於對人工智慧即時造成的工作損失和創造的工作數量進行直接統計,而是基於回歸分析得出的推論。 可以肯定的是,Z 世代是對人工智慧工具最為原生熟練的一代。這個看似承受最多工作崗位移除的同齡群體,同時也最有可能使用人工智慧代理、利用大型語言模型進行副業專案,並帶著他們 45 歲的管理者所缺乏的人工智慧素養進入職場。適應過程已經在發生,只是尚未在 Goldman 的回歸係數中顯現出來。 簡而言之:人工智慧正在摧毀一些工作,創造另一些工作,並使許多工作者更有價值——所有這些都在同時發生。Z 世代的問題在於,摧毀首先、更快、更猛烈地衝擊了他們最可能擔任的職位。而新機會的創造,如果歷史可以作為借鑑,將需要更長的時間才能實現,並且可能需要非常不同的技能才能獲得。 在本報導中,記者使用了生成式人工智慧作為研究工具。編輯在發布前已核實資訊的準確性。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Optimove to buy Smartico, boosting CRM and gamification offerings for iGaming

(AsiaGameHub) - Marketing tech firm Optimove has revealed its intention to purchase Smartico, a business renowned for its gamification-focused CRM solutions within the iGaming industry. The transaction is set to close in the next few weeks, though financial terms remain undisclosed. After the acquisition is complete, both entities will keep running autonomously, maintaining their individual brands, teams, and product plans. Smartico’s founders will stay at the helm of the company, managing its strategic direction and daily activities. This step takes place against the backdrop of fast growth in the global online gambling market, which is growing more intricate due to changing regulations and regional divisions. In this context, the need for sophisticated CRM and player engagement tools keeps increasing. Optimove, well-known for its data-backed CRM marketing platform and AI-enabled decision-making features, has been a major player in the iGaming sector for a long time. Smartico, conversely, has established its name by embedding gamification directly into CRM processes, boosting player engagement via missions, rewards, and interactive experiences. By uniting the two companies under a single ownership structure, the acquisition merges complementary strengths—Optimove’s advanced analytics and AI with Smartico’s gamification-centric approach. Even with shared ownership, both firms will keep developing their products independently and may even compete in the market; this strategy is thought to encourage ongoing innovation. Smartico’s current clients shouldn’t anticipate any immediate changes. The company will keep its existing services, pricing, and support framework, now supported by extra resources from Optimove. In summary, the agreement strengthens Optimove’s standing in the changing iGaming CRM landscape, as the industry moves toward more sophisticated, AI-powered marketing and engagement solutions.

傑米·戴蒙為美國對伊朗的戰爭辯護,並警告這將把經濟推向未知領域 News

傑米·戴蒙為美國對伊朗的戰爭辯護,並警告這將把經濟推向未知領域

(SeaPRwire) - Jamie Dimon向來不會對警告軟化措辞。在週一公布給JPMorgan Chase股東的年度公開信中,這位全球最具影響力的銀行家,儘管態度審慎,仍全力捍衛美國對伊朗開戰,同時他也清楚表明,這場衝突正將全球經濟推入真正未知的領域。自2022年烏克蘭戰爭爆發以來,Dimon針對地緣政治的警告越來越令人警惕,自2024年起也不斷提及嚴峻的經濟威脅,而今年的公開信可說將兩大議題結合在一起。 2022年,Dimon稱烏克蘭是「全球秩序重組」的潛在催化劑。2023年,他全心關注Silicon Valley Bank (SVB)危機,警告其影響「未來數年」都會持續浮現。2024年,他發表了至今經濟警告最嚴峻的一封公開信,提醒大眾注意更具粘性的通膨、前所未見的流動性枯竭,以及「高於市場預期」的利率。每年都有新危機成為焦點,今年卻不一樣:美國是這場進行中戰爭的活躍參戰方,而Dimon並沒有視而不見。 他寫道:「持續中的烏克蘭戰爭、伊朗與美國及以色列之間的衝突,還有全球各地其他大型敵對行動,應該永遠打破世界是安全的錯覺。」這段話給人的感受不同於他過去的警告——它比較不是對未來可能出錯的預測,更多是對已經發生事實的反省。 Dimon支持這場戰爭的理由 針對伊朗議題,Dimon明確表態。在他看來,這場戰爭並非可打可不打的選擇性戰爭。他幾週來都在公開建構這個論點:本月稍早,在一場備受矚目的Axios訪問中,他反駁了「這是選擇戰爭」的說法,質疑西方世界為什麼長久以來都容忍這個政權——用他的話說,該政權掐住荷姆茲海峽的咽喉,而且「45年多來一直在世界各地殺人」。 在週一的公開信中,這個論點得到了最完整的闡述。Dimon寫道,伊朗威脅「如果伊朗取得核彈道飛彈,就必須緊急處理」,他稱核子擴散是「人類未來面臨的最嚴重威脅」。誠然,他也承認:「時間會證明,目前這場對伊朗戰爭是否能達成我們在該區域的短期與長期目標,以及要付出多少代價」,但短期來看,代價看起來確實相當高昂,受影響的也不只有美國。 經濟代價 即使戰事開打還不到兩個月,Dimon對於戰爭帶來的經濟代價也毫不閃躲。他警告,這場戰爭「存在長期出現重大石油與原物料價格衝擊的可能,加上全球供應鏈重組,可能導致通膨更具粘性,最終利率會比市場目前預期的更高」。漣漪效應遠超出能源領域:「不只是能源——石油和天然氣的副產品也是商品,比如肥料和氦氣。而且由於我們的全球供應鏈錯綜複雜,各國都正面臨造船、食品、農業等領域的供應中斷。」 抱持這種看法的絕對不止他一個。全球最大資產管理公司BlackRock負責人Larry Fink警告,如果油價來到每桶150美元——如果衝突持續,這是相當可能發生的情境——會引發「嚴酷且劇烈的衰退」,同時他也點出和Dimon指出的相同的農業與肥料供應鏈弱點。另一方面,Goldman Sachs也為這些警告加上了具體數字:該機構的經濟學家下修美國增長預測,在衝突持續的情境下將衰退風險提升至30%,同時將2026年12月的PCE(個人消費支出)通膨上修至3.1%,布蘭特原油預測上修至98美元——較去年平均上漲約40%。Morgan Stanley則點出了一項疊加風險:戰時國防開支加劇本已經處於高點的美國債務,進一步推升長期美國公債收益率,「對股票和債券市場來說都是潛在利空」。 並非所有人都感到警惕 Ed Yardeni維持對S&P 500年底的樂觀目標點位,並認為一旦確認衝突正在降溫,衰退風險就會緩和——這代表有一派投資人試圖跳過這場戰爭看待前景,而非完全將戰爭風險定價入市場。另一方面,Goldman Sachs執行長David Solomon則謹慎維持分析師立場,他表示市場關注的是衝突是否會「影響經濟增長和活動」,立場比較偏向觀望。 具韌性的經濟存在真實弱點 在Dimon的描述中,這場局勢的風險極高。他寫道:「當前地緣政治事件的結果,很可能是未來全球經濟秩序如何開展的決定性因素。」但他也補充,當然也有可能並非如此。 這位執行長描繪的整體經濟樣貌,是一個被真實弱點籠罩的韌性經濟。他指出,消費者仍在支出,但「近期已經出現一些疲軟跡象」。他警告,美國經濟一直靠「大量政府赤字支出和過去的刺激政策」支撐——當石油衝擊和貿易中斷推動成本往錯誤方向走,這個基礎看起來就沒那麼穩固。他補充,高資產價格「如果出了什麼差錯,會帶來額外風險」。 儘管提出這些警告,Dimon並沒有對這場戰爭的結果放棄希望。他告訴Axios,他希望事情最後有好結果「我們最終能在中東獲得永久和平」,他指出美國、以色列、沙烏地阿拉伯和阿聯酋的聯盟,讓這場行動有更高機會實現長期穩定。他的公開信也呼應了這個觀點:「我們真誠希望這些全球衝突能得到適當解決,總有一天整個歐洲和中東都能獲得長期穩定與繁榮。」 整體來看,Dimon描述的是一個正主動轉型的世界——在這個世界中,後冷戰時期關於開放供應鏈、低通膨和相對地緣政治穩定的假設,正在當下被逐步拆解。他寫道:「我們必須面對我們擁有的這個世界,並努力追求我們想要的世界。」 JPMorgan 2025年淨利為570億美元,低於前一年的585億美元。Dimon謹慎地不將自家公司的韌性等同於不受影響。他寫道:「我們無法自信預測當前事件的結果,我們公司也不能免於這些事件最終帶來的影響。」 本報導記者使用生成式AI做為研究工具,發布前已有編輯查證所有資訊準確性。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

JPMorgan執行長傑米·戴蒙預測AI將把工作周縮短至3.5天,並告訴Z世代培養情商比以往任何時候都更重要

(SeaPRwire) - AI正像一朵烏雲籠罩著許多白領工作者,威脅著要自動化他們的工作。但JPMorgan首席執行官Jamie Dimon表示,得益於這項技術帶來的生產力提升,未來會更光明——人們將擁有比以往更多的工作機會,且每天的工作時數會減少。 「我相信30年後,你們的孩子可能一周工作三天半,」Dimon在最近接受CBS採訪時表示。 這家市值7945億美元的銀行首席執行官表示,得益於AI,世界正變得「非常高效」;他預測未來人們會更健康、更快樂,能夠「多去遠足」,並在縮短至三天半的工作周之外享受自己的愛好。在今晨發布的致JPMorgan股東年度信函中,Dimon重申這些改善正在進行中——即使他那些更樂觀的主張還需要數十年才能實現。 「我不認為說AI將治愈某些癌症、創造新型複合材料、減少意外死亡等積極成果是誇張的說法。它最終將縮短發達國家的工作周,」Dimon在最近的股東信函中寫道。「人們將活得更長、更安全。」 然而,Dimon並不願對AI的短期影響視而不見。這位銀行領導人對AI對就業的影響持開放態度,指出如果AI發展「太快」,將面臨中斷的風險。在股東信函中,他強調AI「肯定會淘汰一些工作」,因為其快速部署可能會超過就業創造和勞動力適應的速度。不過他補充說,AI同時也會強化現有工作機會,並創造新的職業機會,例如網路安全和AI本身。 展望未來,這位首席執行官認為人們將有更多的職業選擇;然而,企業和政府需要共同努力,在到達那一步之前確保就業安全。而能立足的人不會是最精通技術的人才。 已聯繫JPMorgan尋求評論。 Dimon對AI時代年輕人的建議:「學會擁有EQ」 首席執行官們強調了員工在職業技能中加入提示技巧的重要性。但當被問及年輕人如何在AI時代脫穎而出時,Dimon強調了挖掘人性本質的重要性。他說,學習仍然是「頭等大事」。 「與所有人交談。對世界保持濃厚的好奇心,」Dimon告訴CBS。「時刻學習思考,然後學會擁有EQ。EQ就是,我能溝通嗎?我有同理心嗎?人們信任我嗎?」 「與所有人交談。對世界保持濃厚的好奇心,」他說。「學會擁有職業道德,學會找到目標——做到所有這些,你將擁有美好的人生。」 Dimon建議新進人才培養職業道德,並理解如何找到目標。他們應該旅行,敞開心扉接受新觀點;與他人團隊合作,而不是一切以自我為中心。一旦年輕工作者能夠運用這些軟技能,他們將「擁有美好的人生」,他說。而且他不認為他們會爭搶工作崗位;儘管短期內有所保留,Dimon預測就業市場將會擴大。 「他們的生活將比我們的更複雜……他們將擁有比我們更多的工作機會,會更頻繁地更換工作,」Dimon繼續說道。「但我認為他們會擁有美好的人生。」 應對未來潛在的AI就業中斷:再培訓與限制裁員 雖然年輕專業人士可以提升自己的人文技能,但這只是一方面;JPMorgan首席執行官表示,企業和政府也有責任進行干預。隨著數千人因AI自動化而失業,Dimon提出了避免就業市場混亂的解決方案。 「我有一個計劃,包括再培訓人員、重新安置人員、提供收入援助,」Dimon今年早些時候在瑞士達沃斯舉行的世界經濟論壇會議上表示。 Dimon解釋說,如果AI自動化整個行業,數百萬人突然失去高薪工作,將會出現「民眾騷亂」。因此,掌握大權的各方有責任「隨時間逐步推行」並「再培訓」工人,以在新的AI時代保持就業。他甚至支持地方政府提供再培訓激勵措施,並限制裁員,包括在他自己的公司。 「如果為了拯救社會我們必須這麼做,我們會同意,」他說。「社會將有更多的產出。我們將治愈很多癌症。你無法阻礙它的發展。如果它帶來了可怕的影響,你如何制定計劃來讓它更好地運作?這是唯一的方法。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Expert Liam Blackley Details the Advantages of Minimum Deposit Casinos in Canada

(AsiaGameHub) - Casino expert Liam Blackley outlines the review process at Casino.ca and the criteria he uses for casino recommendations. Discover the top low-deposit casinos in Canada as highlighted by Blackley and learn what Canadian players prioritize in a gaming site. TheGamblest: Liam, you are part of the casino review team at Casino.ca. What distinguishes the Canadian iGaming scene, and what is your background in this market? Liam: Canada enforces relatively stringent laws for physical casinos, which has fueled the massive growth of online gambling. Sports betting and refined mobile applications are especially attractive to Canadian players. Ontario, my home and work province, pioneered the establishment of a specialized iGaming regulatory authority in the country. Now, platforms must obtain approval and a license to operate in Ontario, condensing the market to a select group of high-quality operators. Other provinces are adopting this model, with Alberta preparing to introduce similar regulatory frameworks soon. To attract a Canadian audience, online casinos must remain competitive by offering user-friendly advantages such as low minimum deposits. I have witnessed the Ontario iGaming sector develop and evolve over many years, having assessed numerous online casinos across Canada and the U.S. for various publications. My role at Casino.ca has allowed me to focus specifically on the Ontario market. TheGamblest: What is involved in a Casino.ca review? What portion is based on objective data versus your personal viewpoint? Liam: I aim to rely on facts as much as I can, while also noting features that may subjectively suit different playing preferences. Each review begins with comprehensive hands-on testing. I frequently dedicate an entire day to navigating a casino site before writing anything. The objective is to experience the journey of a typical user, from registration to making an initial deposit and redeeming a welcome offer. Following that, I gather extensive data. This includes the number of games accessible in Canada, the availability of key payment options like Interac or PayPal, and whether customer support is available 24/7 or at least during peak Canadian gambling hours. These are all points that can be verified objectively. Beyond the basics, the assessment becomes more nuanced. I look for feature synergy, not just volume. For instance, a $5.00 minimum deposit is notable, but its value diminishes if the casino imposes deposit fees. While some players might accept this, as a reviewer I adopt a stricter stance to guide readers toward the highest-caliber platforms. TheGamblest: You brought up minimum deposit casinos. Is this a key concern for Canadian players? Liam: Absolutely. Virtually all Canadian financial institutions and online casinos support Interac e-transfers for quick and convenient online payments, similar to Venmo in the U.S. More than 88% of Canadians have used Interac at least once. Many Canadian online casinos permit minimum deposits of $5.00 via Interac, with some even allowing $1.00 deposits using Visa or MasterCard. This sets a high benchmark for all other payment options. Whereas casinos in other regions might offer more features or a sleeker platform in exchange for higher deposit minimums, Canadian players expect low thresholds on all sites and are less inclined to sacrifice quality for lower cost. In Ontario, the range of approved casino payment methods is relatively restricted, mainly due to provincial regulations. This makes low deposit limits even more vital, as players frequently cannot just opt for a different method to find lower limits. TheGamblest: Which online casinos offer the best minimum deposits in Canada? Do you have any suggestions? Liam: I endorse any casino operated by Cadtree Ltd. This group includes Jackpot City, Spin Casino, and Ruby Fortune. Players can deposit as little as $5.00 using methods like Interac or credit cards, and also via Instadebit or the MuchBetter e-wallet. Additionally, these casinos provide expedited withdrawals on specific methods, enabling payouts in under an hour. Casino Days is another excellent choice, featuring deposits from $1.00 and one of my preferred casino apps in Canada. I would also suggest ToonieBet, which has a slightly higher $10.00 minimum deposit but makes up for it with a library of over 5,000 games. Ontario residents might consider the OLG online casino, operated by the provincial crown corporation, for added trustworthiness and stability, with minimum deposits starting at $15.00. TheGamblest: How can casinos best attract players for whom low minimum deposits are a must-have? Liam: Currently, in 2026, cryptocurrency is fundamentally reshaping deposit minimum expectations. While coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum have strong brand awareness, others such as Dogecoin or Ripple enable remarkably low deposits—sometimes just a few cents. Cryptocurrency surpasses all traditional (fiat) payment methods in terms of pure cost-effectiveness, making it a favored option for budget-minded players. The leading crypto casinos understand that their users prioritize privacy, low cost, and transaction speed. For any casino that begins with only fiat payments, adding cryptocurrency options is an effective strategy to attract new users and keep existing ones engaged.

量子威脅逼近比特幣,有人質疑:是否該凍結中本聰(Satoshi Nakamoto)的舊錢包? News

量子威脅逼近比特幣,有人質疑:是否該凍結中本聰(Satoshi Nakamoto)的舊錢包?

(SeaPRwire) - 全球最大加密貨幣比特幣正面臨風險。Google 發布的一份最新報告指出,到2029年,駭客可運用新型量子運算技術,最快僅需9分鐘就能破解比特幣發明人中本聰(Satoshi Nakamoto)的錢包。這些早期錢包按當前市價計算價值約750億美元,占全球比特幣總供應量的5%以上。如今面對量子威脅,部分人士重新呼籲進行區塊鏈升級,將這些代幣永久鎖定。 「如果不採取任何行動,包含中本聰的錢包在內的所有舊地址代幣,最終都可能被最先掌握實用量子運算能力的人竊走。」早期比特幣從業者、加密貨幣錢包公司Exodus的營運者JP Richardson表示。 Richardson指出,的確有可能透過升級比特幣的機制,讓中本聰錢包內的代幣無法再被支出。中本聰的錢包約持有比特幣總供給上限2100萬枚中的110萬枚,同時也是Google認定最易遭受量子攻擊的690萬枚比特幣的一部分。在一種情境假設中,比特幣社群可推出抗量子攻擊的升級版本,強制所有錢包在特定日期前完成適配,否則這些錢包內的代幣將實質作廢。 這類措施能夠降低量子攻擊導致數百萬枚比特幣突然流入市場、造成供給氾濫的風險。不過Richardson表明他並不支持強制升級,他認為量子駭客破解中本聰錢包對市場造成的衝擊會「極為慘重……但並不會終結比特幣」。 Pete Rizzo也抱持相同觀點。過去曾是加密貨幣記者、現為比特幣歷史學家的Rizzo在2月初參加了名為Satoshi Roundtable的業內人士年度聚會,會中聽到有人呼籲將代號BIP360的量子升級計畫列為強制性要求。他表示,這一立場屬於市場參與者和投機者持有的少數觀點,這些人更在意保護「中本聰的代幣已永久消失」的估值模型,而非比特幣本身的核心價值。 「這是典型的『該如何解讀他人意願』的案例。」Rizzo表示,他認為涉及銷毀他人代幣的治理策略,完全違背比特幣自我主權與去中心化的核心價值。 儘管Richardson和Rizzo都不贊同強制升級的想法,但他們也並不對此感到特別擔憂,因為這類計畫永遠無法獲得開發者層面的必要共識來推動落地。相反地,他們認為比特幣社群會開發出抗量子攻擊的升級版本,供錢包用戶自願安裝——不過Richardson提醒,這會是區塊鏈發展至今最艱難的任務之一。 目前的問題在於完成這類升級需要耗費多長時間。比特幣內部人士認為,Google標註的2029年時間點可能過於樂觀/超前,但鮮少有人質疑量子威脅的真實性,也認同其可能造成相當可觀的破壞。 Jeff John Roberts jeff.roberts@.com@jeffjohnroberts本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Altenar to Highlight Gap in Sportsbook Strategy at SiGMA South America

(AsiaGameHub) - Top sportsbook platform Altenar is participating in SiGMA South America in São Paulo, which launched today, April 6. The firm is posing a key industry question: why do so many operators still fail to prioritize sportsbooks as the core of their strategy? Brazil’s online gaming (iGaming) market is thriving, yet numerous operators are stuck in their comfort zones. Local brands keep leaning heavily on casino offerings, whereas global industry leaders are shifting more and more toward sports betting. The rationale is obvious: sportsbooks foster deeper user engagement and better long-term customer retention. Data backs up this trend. By 2025’s end, Brazil’s licensed betting industry had generated R$37 billion in Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR), roughly $7.5 billion USD, signifying the first full year of a regulated online market. Per H2-OpenBet, sports betting made up 55% of the total online betting and gaming GGR, cementing its position as the market’s biggest single vertical. Against this backdrop, viewing sportsbooks as secondary offerings is no longer a cautious strategy—it’s a lost business chance. Altenar’s Co-Founder and COO Dinos Stranomitis will discuss this topic at the panel titled “The Undefined Value of Sports Betting in Brazil.” The key takeaway is clear: the next industry leaders will be those who expand beyond casinos by adopting sportsbooks. Altenar’s current expansion in São Paulo mirrors this path—toward more balanced, data-informed operations where sportsbooks are a central component. Luana Monje, Sales Executive at Altenar Brazil, commented: The sports betting market is changing more quickly than many operators are willing to acknowledge. Operators that act now to prioritize sportsbooks will lead in customer retention and lifetime value. The true risk lies in delaying serious action on this front. Got more questions? Stop by Altenar’s booth at SiGMA South America in São Paulo (stand J176) from April 6 to 9. This article is provided by a third-party.

Canadian regulator permits limited prediction market offerings by firms

(AsiaGameHub) - Canada’s federal securities regulator has approved two companies to begin trading in prediction markets as it cautiously dips its toes into this highly contentious investment category. The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) has authorized Interactive Brokers Canada and Toronto-based Wealthsimple to launch trading in event contracts, which will be finalized by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)—the agency that supervises CFTC-licensed platforms such as Kalshi, PolyMarket, and Crypto.com. CIRO oversees investment dealers and establishes rules for event contract trading. A separate body, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), collaborates with provincial securities regulators across Canada to ensure national consistency. Louis Morisset, former chair of the CSA, stated: Binary options are the leading form of investment fraud facing Canadians today, and the impact of these scams on individuals is immense. CIRO has clarified that only a limited variety of contracts will be allowed: their maturity dates must be at least 30 days away, and they can be based on economic, environmental, or financial indicators. All these contracts will be classified as derivatives, so they will be subject to the same rules and oversight from both CIRO and participating provincial regulators that govern options trading. Additionally, CIRO noted that event contracts related to elections, political nominations, referenda, or any activity unlawful under Canadian law will not be permitted. This aligns with the CSA’s prior ban on short-term binary options, which were also strongly associated with fraud and harm to the investing public. This article is provided by a third-party.

Nevada Prolongs the Ban on Kalshi

(AsiaGameHub) - Kalshi, a provider of prediction market services, has had its ban upheld by a state judge in Nevada. The State of Nevada asserts that the services offered by Kalshi are gaming-adjacent and fall under the scope of gambling regulatory rules. Judge Jason Woodbury of the First Judicial District Court based in Carson City has ruled to issue a preliminary injunction that prevents Kalshi from selling contracts tied to sporting events, all types of entertainment events, and elections unless it holds a valid gaming license issued by the State of Nevada. Judge Woodbury issued the temporary restraining order (TRO) on the grounds that the court determined purchasing contracts linked to a specific sporting event is nearly identical to placing wagers through a licensed casino or bookmaker. The court's ruling also challenges Kalshi's claim that its products qualify as federally regulated "swaps" under the oversight of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Speaking on this latest development, U.S. Gaming Law and Sports Betting Attorney Daniel Wallach called the ruling a key milestone for state regulators, writing on LinkedIn: Major win for Nevada, which now joins Massachusetts as the first two states to obtain a preliminary injunction against Kalshi. The legal landscape across the country remains highly fragmented www.bcljs.com, with Nevada being one of just a small number of states with an active court-ordered ban on offering Kalshi services. The regulatory environment for this space still remains fragmented in nature. The Nevada Council on Problem Gambling and the Dr. Robert Hunter International Problem Gambling Centre submitted amicus briefs to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the risks connected to the accessibility, transaction speed, and product design of the products and services available via Kalshi.

(AsiaGameHub) - Paradise Co. reported that its casino revenue for March dropped by 39.6 percent year-on-year and 44.0 percent compared to February, totaling US$32.8 million (KRW49.5 billion), though the operator provided no specific reasons for the decline. Although the total drop rose by 9.7 percent sequentially to US$389 million (KRW587.7 billion), overall casino revenue fell during the month, driven by a 43.4 percent year-over-year decrease in table revenue to US$29.1 million (KRW44.0 billion). For the first quarter of 2026, total revenue reached US$152 million (KRW229.7 billion), representing a 1.8 percent increase over the same period last year. During this quarter, table games revenue grew by 1.0 percent, machine revenue rose by 23.6 percent, and the total table drop climbed 3.6 percent to US$1.17 billion (KRW1.76 trillion).

Grand Korea Leisure’s casino revenue falls to $21 million

(AsiaGameHub) - Grand Korea Leisure (GKL), a casino operator exclusively for foreign patrons, recorded casino revenue of KRW32.0 billion (approximately US$21.2 million) in March. This figure represents a 22.8% decrease compared to the previous year, yet an increase of 16.0% from February. This decline in revenue is somewhat unexpected, considering that the total drop amount—the sum of money wagered by customers—actually grew by 13.5% year-over-year and 18.8% month-over-month, reaching KRW339.3 billion ($225 million). Revenue from table games saw a 26.0% year-over-year reduction, totaling KRW28.4 billion ($18.8 million). Conversely, electronic (machine) revenue rose by 17.8% to KRW3.54 billion ($2.3 million), when compared to March of the previous year and February of the current year, respectively. GKL has announced casino revenue of KRW425.3 billion (US$294 million) for the fiscal year ending 2025. This report comes after the company decided to discontinue its plans to purchase the land housing the Seven Luck Casino in Seoul’s Dragon City development. GKL presently operates three casinos in South Korea under the Seven Luck brand, with establishments situated in both Seoul and Busan. This article is provided by a third-party.

Philippines Declares POGO-Free Status Following Crackdown on Violence

(AsiaGameHub) - The Department of Justice has confirmed that all Philippine offshore gaming operator hubs have ceased operations in the Philippines, following a government crackdown that effectively dismantled the sector. Justice Secretary Fredderick Vida informed reporters that the extensive enforcement campaign resulted in the closure of 80% of previously active hubs within one month of their expiration date. He stated unequivocally that there are no legally sanctioned POGOs currently operating within the country, nor are there any operating illegally. He further reiterated the government's official position that no POGO operations will be permitted in the Philippines. Despite the official shutdown of the sector, the Department of Justice has indicated that monitoring of these operations will continue. The DOJ will maintain close surveillance and will intervene if any illegal activity is discovered or reported, as anticipated. The Department of Justice will persist in its active efforts to ensure that any group choosing to operate outside the law will be reported, and appropriate measures will be taken against them. While the DOJ has declared the country a POGO-free zone, it seeks to alleviate any doubts about its commitment to addressing the issue. The continuation of monitoring activities signals that the government will not tolerate a return to unauthorized POGO-related activities in the wake of this closure.

India blocks 8,376 websites associated with online betting and gambling

(AsiaGameHub) - India has announced the blocking of a further 8,376 gambling and gaming websites, as offshore platforms remain a persistent issue for the nation. Following the implementation of the 2025 Online Gaming Act, over 4,800 of these targeted URLs have been taken down. This legislation prohibits online gambling for money and is now a central component of the government's strategy to fight online betting and gambling. A survey by CUTS International in the Delhi NCR region last December revealed that the proportion of users on offshore sites rose from 68.3% before the ban to 82% after it, marking a 20.1% overall increase. The data further showed daily users of these platforms jumped from 3.4% of users pre-ban to 42.3% post-ban. Beyond more frequent access, users are also spending more time on these sites and increasing their monthly expenditures. Individuals have circumvented Indian legal restrictions using mirror domains and local payment methods such as UPI. Another CUTS International survey in Tamil Nadu in early January found that engagement with offshore gambling sites there has grown by 15.2% since the ban, indicating their continued prevalence across many states despite a stricter legal framework. The scale of the offshore gambling industry was highlighted during a MediaNama panel on the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act (2025) in September 2025. Dhruv Garg, a Partner at IGAP, noted the industry's total value is approximately $20 billion, stressing that this capital is leaving the country untaxed. He estimated the resulting government tax loss at over $4 billion, which exceeds the revenue generated by India's legal gambling sector. This article is provided by a third-party.

Romanian court confirms ONJN’s decision to blacklist Polymarket iGame

Romanian court confirms ONJN’s decision to blacklist Polymarket

(AsiaGameHub) - A Romanian court has issued a ruling upholding the Romanian Gambling Office’s decision to keep Polymarket on its national blacklist. The court rejected Polymarket’s request to suspend an earlier ONJN ruling, which found the platform was operating without a valid license. ONJN President Vlad Cristian Soare celebrated the result in a LinkedIn post, stating: Today we secured our first major win in the Polymarket case. There’s been a lot of speculation around this decision. In truth, the issue was never just about Polymarket—and still isn’t. The real goal is to protect the legal framework governing gambling and close a dangerous loophole: rebranding betting under the seemingly innocent label of ‘prediction platform’. According to the ONJN, the court’s ruling reinforces the Gambling Office’s authority and strengthens its legitimacy to take action against Polymarket. Romania was one of the first jurisdictions to blacklist the platform in October 2025. Since Romania blacklisted Polymarket, the platform has also been banned by several other European jurisdictions, including Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Germany, and Italy. Polymarket first faced issues with the ONJN after the office cited an “exploited surge” in activity during Romania’s 2025 election period. Total trading on Pepsin exceeded $600 million during the presidential election and $15 million from Bucharest’s local elections. The Office stated at the time: Allowing counterparty betting to be reclassified as trading would set a reckless precedent. The ONJN determined that Polymarket acts as a counterparty betting provider—even though it presents itself as a prediction market—because it lets customers wager on event outcomes and charges them a commission for doing so. Based on this finding, the ONJN concluded Polymarket is subject to existing gambling laws. Soare emphasized this stance, adding: Whether you bet in lei or crypto, if you’re putting money on a future outcome in a counterparty bet scenario, it’s gambling that requires a license. The ONJN will not allow blockchain to become a shield for illegal gambling. This article is provided by a third-party.

Cambodia’s dozen casinos tied to online scams and human rights abuses iGame

Cambodia’s dozen casinos tied to online scams and human rights abuses

(AsiaGameHub) - Amnesty International has reported that a dozen casinos in Cambodia are currently licensed to run online scam operations, with serious ongoing human rights implications. Despite the Cambodian government's claims of a cybercrime crackdown, the report states that "at least a dozen casinos" have been "directly linked to scamming and abuse" involving individuals who are "tortured, forced into labour, used for child labour, or trafficked for sex." The report specifically names three casinos allegedly operated by Kok An, who is reported to have strong ties to former government officials. In business records, he is listed as having worked for the Anco Group, an umbrella corporation for many Cambodian businesses. Using data from the commercial gambling regulator, the Commercial Gambling Management Commission, the report shows that all casino operators run their facilities through on-site offices and that twelve casinos have supplied evidence of documented abuse. Authorities in Cambodia have reported arresting nearly a thousand people as part of an anti-cyber-crime initiative initially focused on "pig-butchering" scams. Additionally, close to 190 casino-linked scam operations have been closed, and gaming licenses have been revoked from some major firms, including Prince Group Holdings. Cambodian regulators state these measures demonstrate the government's commitment to "enforce stronger regulation of commercial gaming and to guarantee legal operations." Montse Ferrer, Co-Regional Director at Amnesty International, stated the research "clearly links Cambodia's licensed casinos to its scamming compounds." Ferrer added that while officials claim to be dismantling the industry, "the evidence indicates it is concurrently approving plans for casino properties where abusive scam compounds operate."

JFE Holdings and Mitsubishi Corporation Sign Second MOU to Advance Integrated Power and Data Center Project in Ohgishima, Keihin District JCN Newswire

JFE Holdings and Mitsubishi Corporation Sign Second MOU to Advance Integrated Power and Data Center Project in Ohgishima, Keihin District

TOKYO, Apr 6, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - JFE Holdings, Inc. (JFE) and Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) are pleased to announce that we have signed a Second Memorandum of Understanding (Second MOU) at the end of March, of this year toward the joint development of a power business and data center project in the Ohgishima, Keihin District. Under the Second MOU, the companies will advance the business plan with the goal of entering into a joint venture agreement.In March 2025, JFE and MC signed an initial Memorandum of Understanding to explore the feasibility of a joint venture. Over the following year, the two companies conducted foundational technical and commercial assessments of an integrated power and data center project together with MC Digital Realty, Inc.(*1) (MCDR), leveraging the distinctive advantages of the Ohgishima Area which include a large-scale site strategically located approximately 20 km from central Tokyo and a stable power supply from JFE’s captive power plant.Following confirmation of the feasibility of the concept to construct and operate a data center on 5 hectares of land, utilizing the adjacent JFE's captive power plant in the Ohgishima Area, which has a generating capacity of 190 MW, the companies have decided to proceed to the concretization phase of a joint venture encompassing both the data center and power businesses.For JFE, commercialization of the data center under consideration is a key initiative under its Eighth Medium-Term Business Plan(*2) toward realizing the land use concept outlined in "OHGISHIMA 2050"(*3) and the goals of "JFE Vision 2035." JFE will commence land development at the candidate data center site and proceed with planning for the construction of the necessary infrastructure.MC positions data centers and power, both of which are indispensable to the advancement of AI, as “AI infrastructure.” The company views this plan to develop these facilities in areas of large-scale land use conversion project to be a strong example of meeting the need to repurpose former industrial land and construct next-generation industries. Leveraging its broad industrial portfolio and accumulated expertise across diverse businesses, MC will work jointly with JFE to further develop the plan.JFE, MC, and MCDR, a leading data center developer and operator in Japan have identified an initial site of approximately five hectares adjacent to the existing JFE power plant for data center development. The site can support at least two data centers, and the companies are targeting the commencement of operations for an initial 60 MW data center in fiscal year 2031, which can utilize electricity secured from the captive power plant. Looking ahead, the companies envision a phased expansion in line with demand trends, with additional nearby sites identified for future growth. Ultimately, this development could form a data center campus with several hundred megawatts of IT capacity. The three companies will advance concrete planning, including the design of data centers capable of supporting cloud and AI computing infrastructure. Drawing on its extensive experience in the development and operation of multiple data centers in the Greater Tokyo area, MCDR will support the initiative through the provision of a wide range of development and operational solutions.With respect to the power business, JFE and MC will work to maximize utilization of JFE's captive power plant to deliver stable and cost-competitive electricity to the data center and other power demand within the Ohgishima Area. The companies will also explore reinforcement of the plant's generating capacity in line with progress in land use conversion and expansion of the data center business. Additionally, JFE and MC will study the potential supply of green power by leveraging Ohgishima’s planned hydrogen hub to support the future demand for power resulting from continued land use conversion and data center expansion.Demand for data centers surges in response to growing information processing needs. However, the availability of suitable urban sites capable of accommodating their substantial power requirements remains limited.
