Bombshell at D-Wave! Rheinmetall and Almonty Industries involved in future technologies, fusion energy, and laser technology!
There is a bombshell at D-Wave. The quantum specialist plans to expand its business model through an acquisition, investing USD 550 million in the process. Whether this will pay off is difficult to assess today. It is, however, easy to see that Almonty benefits from the high demand and tight supply of tungsten in the Western world. The stock was one of the high flyers in 2025 and still does not appear expensive. Another potential driver is emerging: tungsten plays a key role in advances in fusion energy. Rheinmetall is also working on future technologies. Germany's largest defense contractor aims to shoot down drones and other missiles with lasers in the future. Diversifying beyond tanks and other heavy equipment is both smart and important.

The license to mine: With RZOLV Technologies, Barrick Mining and Agnico Eagle could gain new scope - without cyanide
Gold mining has long relied on a single, highly toxic molecule: cyanide. Today, tightening regulations, rising ESG scrutiny, and increasingly complex ore bodies are challenging this long-standing industry standard. A paradigm shift is emerging in which access to clean extraction technology, rather than mere ownership of the metal, is becoming the decisive strategic lever. This change is casting innovative providers such as RZOLV Technologies and established mining giants such as Barrick Mining and Agnico Eagle in a new strategic light.

USD 16 trillion in transition: How Finexity is rewriting the rules of Wall Street alongside Deutsche Bank and Bank of America
2025 marked a historic turning point for global capital markets. What was long considered a futuristic experiment is now a harsh economic reality: the tokenization of assets, known in technical jargon as "real world assets" (RWA), is breaking down the entrenched structures of the old economy. According to recent studies by leading consulting firms such as the Boston Consulting Group, this market is heading for a gigantic volume of USD 16 trillion by 2030. Two worlds are colliding in this new ecosystem. On the one hand, there are the established top dogs such as Deutsche Bank and Bank of America, which are posting record results and using blockchain to become even more profitable. On the other hand, Finexity AG, a German disruptor, is challenging the status quo. Since its IPO in September 2025, it has been proving that the future belongs not to the management but to the democratization of wealth. For investors, the question arises: Should they bet on the gentle evolution of the giants or on the radical innovation of the challenger?

Silver shock 2026: Why JinkoSolar and AMD are buying up the market, and Silver Viper Minerals is becoming a key strategic stock
It is January 2026, and global commodity markets are experiencing a tectonic shift that has surprised even seasoned market observers. Silver, long derided as gold's sedate little brother, has thrown off its historical shackles. After an unprecedented price explosion of 147% in 2025, the precious metal is now trading at over USD 74 per ounce. But unlike in previous cycles, this rise is not primarily driven by speculation, but is based on physical scarcity. Industry, led by solar giants and the AI hardware sector, is sucking the market dry. In an environment where companies such as JinkoSolar and AMD are fighting for every gram of conductive material, explorers such as Silver Viper Minerals are moving into the spotlight. They possess what the global economy is desperately seeking: new, high-grade deposits in secure jurisdictions.

Gold rush without toxins: Why Newmont and Equinox are under pressure, and RZOLV Technologies could become the key stock of the new super cycle
Gold is back on the big stage. Driven by geopolitical hot spots, structural weakness in the US dollar, and the insatiable appetite of central banks, the precious metal is racing from one all-time high to the next. But while prices are rising, the situation for mine operators is deteriorating: dependence on highly toxic cyanide is becoming more and more of a problem. Environmental regulations are becoming stricter, approval procedures are dragging on for decades, and social resistance is blocking billion-dollar projects. The technology company RZOLV Technologies is positioning itself in this area of tension between record prices and ecological dead ends. While industry giants such as Newmont and Equinox Gold are looking for ways to secure their production in a sustainable manner, RZOLV is providing the long-awaited technological answer: gold extraction that does not require any toxic chemicals and thus has the potential to reshuffle the cards in global mining.

Stock market frenzy: Silver, high-tech, AI, or Bitcoin? 100% opportunities with Strategy, Finexity, Metaplanet, and TeamViewer
It is not exactly easy to keep a clear head as an investor at the moment. Political shortages of strategic metals, ever-new geopolitical flashpoints, and an enormous burden on Western households are weighing on the minds of stock investors. The fact that "long only" is becoming a profitable thesis in this environment is now a permanent novelty. Historically, after substantial upturns of more than 20%, there have always been periods of consolidation. However, these are no longer visible, and every day of waiting costs returns. Whether silver, copper, AI, or high-tech stocks, the hard-won fixed-income returns in the 2% range have already been wiped out since the beginning of the year. But there is one exception: if we consider the crypto market as an alternative to currencies and stocks, it has been on a noticeable hiatus since fall 2025. But in recent days, there has been a spring awakening here as well. We are looking for current opportunities!

+23% price increase in just a few days! DroneShield, BioNTech, and WashTec shares!
DroneShield shares have already gained over 23% in the first few trading days of the year. The drone defense specialist is receiving a boost from two orders placed shortly before the turn of the year. Is it now heading towards an all-time high? WashTec shares are also performing strongly. While German stocks are weakening overall, WashTec shares are at their highest level in a long time, and analysts see further upside potential. BioNTech has important study data coming up in 2026. But first, the acquisition of CureVac will be completed. This marks the end of a stock market story that caused only brief euphoria.

The clean solution to the dirty nickel problem: How Power Metallic Mines could save the supply chains of Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen
The automotive industry faces a paradoxical situation in 2026. While sales figures for electric vehicles have stabilized and the technology is becoming increasingly mature, the threat now comes not from demand but from the supply side of the value chain. The supply of raw materials, especially the critical battery metal nickel, is coming under massive pressure due to geopolitical shifts and drastically tightened environmental regulations in Asia. German flagship companies Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, which have invested billions in their electrification strategies, are faced with the challenge of reconciling their ethical promises with the physical reality of the market. In this area of tension between regulatory constraints and industrial needs, Canadian explorer Power Metallic Mines is evolving from a raw materials explorer into a potential strategic enabler with its NISK project.

Battery supply on a knife's edge – NEO Battery Materials becomes an established industrial partner
The push for e-mobility and rising demand from defense applications are driving a quantum leap in battery technology. At the same time, China is increasingly putting the brakes on as an industrial partner. Beijing recently imposed export restrictions on high-performance Li-ion aggregates. This makes it a real challenge for manufacturers to equip their products with high-quality energy storage. The latest announcement from NEO Battery Materials is therefore a game-changer! Certification as an OEM supplier has been completed. NEO Battery Materials, a company that is at the beginning of industrial scaling and technical differentiation, presents itself as a specialist in silicon-based anode materials with a secured production hub in South Korea. Particularly relevant for investors: high-performance batteries are increasingly being treated as critical infrastructure in Western industrial and defense policy, meaning they are structurally tied to priority investment areas. Geopolitically motivated trade barriers must be navigated carefully. Time is of the essence.
