ONZA+: CONNECT’s AI Promise 

How a new crypto project from the CONNECT ecosystem is attracting participants with AI, trading signals, and a license-based model.  Within the Telegram community surrounding CONNECT (formerly Safir/ZENIQ/Xera.Pro/XPRO), a new project called ONZA+ has been circulating for several weeks. The product is promoted as a “90-day Crypto AI Technology License” – essentially a time-limited license that supposedly grants access to an AI-powered trading infrastructure.  At the same time, the material repeatedly emphasizes that ONZA+ is neither an investment nor a financial service – a combination that inevitably raises questions. The presentation available to us promises algorithmic cryptocurrency trading, automated market analysis and potential profits within a 90-day cycle. The internal starting signal  In a message addressed to “Regional Directors and CONNECT Top Leaders,” the company announced the launch of the project: “We would like to officially inform you about the launch of ONZA, the […]

De-risking instead of individual case review: When banks push companies out of payment transactions

De-risking refers to the practice of banks terminating business relationships not because of specific legal violations, but to reduce regulatory, reputational, or operational risks across the board. Often, entire customer groups or business models are excluded instead of examining and managing risks on a case-by-case basis. The competition between traditional banks and FinTechs is increasingly […]

Offshore License as a Fig Leaf – Why the Alleged Regulation Doesn’t Exist

The offers currently being promoted by Marina Graf & Werner Kaiser in connection with TAG Markets, Social Trading, Sonic AI, and “Amplified Accounts” create the impression that they are regulated, licensed financial and crypto services.
