McIlroy seeks 7th Race to Dubai title to cap a year of unforgettable wins

Leave a comment

The Masters to complete the career Grand Slam. A home Irish Open. An away Ryder Cup. It has been a year of unforgettable, career-defining wins for Rory McIlroy.

There’s a good chance it will get even better in Dubai this week, at the Northern Irishman’s final event of the 2025 season.

The No. 2-ranked McIlroy will look to be crowned Europe’s No. 1 player for a fourth straight year when he competes in the European Tour’s season-ending World Tour Championship, starting on Thursday.

If McIlroy holds off Marco Penge and Tyrrell Hatton—the only players in range of overhauling him—he will win the Race to Dubai title for the seventh time in his career and move within one of Colin Montgomerie’s record haul.

Montgomerie won his season-long points titles—when it was called the Order of Merit—each year from 1993 to 1999 and again in 2005. McIlroy is currently tied on six with the late Seve Ballesteros.

### Stopping Rory McIlroy

McIlroy leads the Race to Dubai standings, sitting around 767 points ahead of second-placed Penge and roughly 1,720 points ahead of third-placed Hatton. There are 2,000 points on offer for the winner at the Earth Course.

A win clearly guarantees McIlroy the title, as would finishing second alone.

For Penge, a three-time winner on the tour this year, to overhaul McIlroy, he either needs to win and hope McIlroy finishes worse than second alone, or finish in a tie for second with McIlroy down the leaderboard.

Hatton needs to win to have any chance—however unlikely—of claiming the title.

### PGA Tour Cards

Penge’s breakthrough season has already seen him lock down one of the PGA Tour cards offered to the top 10 players in the Race to Dubai standings who are not otherwise exempt.

The next nine players currently in position are Kristoffer Reitan, John Parry, Adrien Saddier, Alex Noren, Laurie Canter, Li Haotong, Daniel Brown, Keita Nakajima, and Jordan Smith.

### McIlroy Award

The European Tour announced on Tuesday a new trophy—the Rory McIlroy Award—which will be presented to the player who performs best across all four majors in a season.

The inaugural award will be handed out next season and honors McIlroy as the first European to complete the career Grand Slam.

“To have something named after you, that will be presented to future generations of players, is a huge honor and it is very humbling,” McIlroy said.

“I hope,” he added, “my success can inspire other DP World Tour members to chase and achieve their own dreams for years to come.”

Uniswap Founder Proposes Major UNI Burn and Governance Overhaul

Leave a comment

Uniswap Founder Proposes Major Governance Overhaul to Burn UNI and Reshape Protocol Fees

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams has unveiled a landmark governance proposal aimed at reshaping the decentralized exchange’s financial structure. Introduced through Uniswap governance channels, the plan seeks to activate protocol fees and redirect them toward burning UNI tokens. This initiative is designed to align incentives across Uniswap’s ecosystem and represents the project’s most substantial shift since the launch of UNI in 2020.

**Turning On Protocol Fees and Burning UNI**

The proposal, presented by Adams alongside Devin Walsh and Kenneth Ng, outlines several measures intended to strengthen Uniswap’s long-term sustainability. Central to the plan is the introduction of protocol fees that will be collected and used specifically to burn UNI tokens. This burn mechanism effectively reduces the circulating supply, creating deflationary pressure that rewards holders.

In addition to protocol fees, sequencer fees generated from Unichain operations will also be funneled into the UNI burn process. As part of the proposal, 100 million UNI tokens from the treasury would be permanently burned. This amount represents fees that could have been accumulated since the token’s inception, signaling a retroactive realignment between the protocol’s value creation and tokenholder benefits.

The governance proposal also introduces “Protocol Fee Discount Auctions,” a new mechanism designed to improve liquidity provider outcomes while internalizing MEV (Miner Extractable Value) revenues into the protocol itself.

**Shifting Fee Structures to Boost Adoption**

Uniswap Labs plans to stop collecting fees from its interface, wallet, and API services as part of the restructuring. This move aims to lower barriers to entry and accelerate global adoption by focusing resources on expanding the protocol’s reach.

Additionally, employees from the Uniswap Foundation will be transferred to Labs under a new governance-driven growth fund sourced from the treasury. This strategic shift is intended to blend Labs’ operational agility with governance oversight, fostering faster innovation within the protocol.

The proposal also calls for migrating Unisocks liquidity to Uniswap v4 on Unichain, after which the liquidity position would be burned, further reinforcing the deflationary impact.

**Governance Overhaul and Ecosystem Realignment**

Adams emphasized that these measures will concentrate Uniswap’s efforts on scaling adoption while maintaining decentralization through governance oversight. By merging Labs’ operational capabilities with governance authority, the exchange aims to accelerate protocol-driven innovation in the decentralized finance space.

Uniswap continues to play a critical role in DeFi, having processed roughly $1.8 trillion in annual trading volume. With this proposal, the project seeks to solidify its position as essential financial infrastructure while directly benefiting tokenholders through deflationary mechanisms and ecosystem realignment.

The proposal arrives amid improving regulatory clarity, offering Labs more flexibility to participate proactively in governance decisions that shape Uniswap’s future. Community members and stakeholders are now invited to weigh in on this significant shift as the protocol moves towards its next phase of growth.

Which film marks Meghan Markle’s Hollywood comeback? Duchess of Sussex reportedly feels “excited” but “rusty” after 8-year acting hiatus

Leave a comment

Meghan Markle is reportedly excited about her return to acting in the upcoming movie, *Close Personal Friends*. She will play herself in a small role in the project, which also stars Brie Larson, Jack Quaid, and Lily Collins, among others.

Markle acted in numerous movies and shows and is best known for her work in the legal drama series, *Suits*. However, she stepped away from her acting career ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018. Since then, while she has been active in philanthropic work and on social media, the Duchess of Sussex hasn’t taken on any acting roles—until now.

Meghan Markle is set to make her Hollywood comeback with *Close Personal Friends*, produced by Amazon MGM Studios. A source reportedly told PEOPLE that the 44-year-old is enthusiastic about being back on set, although she feels a bit rusty after the long break. According to the report published on November 10, an insider shared:

“She genuinely seemed excited to be on set. She was joking that she felt a bit rusty, but it was obvious that she had rehearsed and that it was a big deal for her to be back. And she was great. She had a very warm energy, too. She was super pleasant to be around.”

*Close Personal Friends* reportedly follows the story of a couple on a trip to Santa Barbara who happen to befriend a famous couple.

### Meghan Markle on Her Acting Break and Potential Return

Meghan Markle took a break from acting in 2017 ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. In a November 2017 interview with *Variety*, Markle spoke about her decision to pause her acting career. She stated:

“I don’t see it as giving anything up, I just see it as a change.”

Prince Harry added:

“It’s a new challenge.”

Markle further elaborated:

“It’s a new chapter. Right. And also keep in mind I’ve been working on my show for seven years. So we’re very, very fortunate to be able to have that sort of longevity on a series and for me, once we hit the 100-episode marker I thought, you know what, I have ticked this box and I feel really proud of the work I’ve done there and now it’s time to, as you said, work as a team with you.”

In another interview with *Variety*, published on October 19, 2022, Markle addressed whether she would return to acting, stating:

“No. I’m done. I guess never say never, but my intention is to absolutely not.”

### Recent Projects and Netflix Ventures

Although Meghan has stayed away from traditional acting roles, she and Prince Harry appeared in a documentary about their lives titled *Meghan & Harry*, produced and released by Netflix on December 8, 2022.

Earlier this year, the Duchess of Sussex released a television series on Netflix called *With Love, Meghan*. The series showcases Meghan inviting guests to an estate, sharing cooking, gardening, hosting tips, and recipes. So far, the show has two seasons, with eight episodes in each.

Additionally, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have renewed their multi-year deal with Netflix, reportedly exploring scaled-back terms and new projects in the pipeline.

Sui Foundation partners with Crypto.com to enhance institutional-grade SUI custody

Leave a comment

Crypto.com and Sui Foundation Forge Strategic Partnership to Boost Institutional Custody and Liquidity

Crypto.com exchange has announced a strategic collaboration with the Sui Foundation, the organization behind the fast-growing Sui blockchain. This partnership is set to significantly expand liquidity, enhance institutional-grade custody, and improve compliance for SUI, the native token of the Sui platform.

According to the official announcement, the alliance provides both individuals and enterprises with secure, regulated custody solutions for their SUI holdings. Key features include transparent audit trails, cold storage security, and streamlined regulatory procedures—all designed to strengthen customer confidence in the safety and compliance of their digital assets.

Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com, commented on the partnership:

“We’re excited to provide secure custody and liquidity solutions for the SUI token to the Sui Ecosystem. Our rigorously compliant infrastructure gives institutional and high-net-worth clients the confidence they need to engage securely and confidently.”

Customers will also benefit from Crypto.com’s robust liquidity pool, ensuring cost-efficient and fast conversions. This feature is particularly crucial for institutional clients engaged in large-scale trading or managing vast portfolios.

## Institutional Momentum for Sui Blockchain

The collaboration with Crypto.com comes at a time when the Sui blockchain is seeing increased interest from institutional investors. The network distinguishes itself with predictable, user-friendly fees and an innovative infrastructure tailored to enterprises and developers.

Recent months have seen notable developments, including ETF filings, ETNs, and Trusts associated with Sui. These moves are pushing SUI into regulated markets, positioning it as a key player in the ongoing evolution of blockchain technology.

On top of this, Nasdaq-listed SUI Group recently partnered with Bluefin to further drive institutional adoption of digital products tied to the Sui network. Crypto.com’s involvement marks a pivotal step for the Sui Foundation in building a compliant ecosystem for institutional participation, making it easier for businesses and wealthy investors to interact with SUI in a secure and regulated manner.

Christian Thompson, Managing Director at the Sui Foundation, praised the new partnership:

“We’re pleased a top-tier platform like Crypto.com now supports SUI custody, providing a crucial on-ramp for institutions and high-net-worth clients. Sui’s momentum with institutions is compounding, and it’s incredible to see crypto’s leading infrastructure providers rally around the ecosystem.”

The alliance bridges the gap between Sui’s innovative technology and the demanding requirements of enterprise-level financial operations. Regulated global ecosystems like Crypto.com are vital for strengthening Sui’s credibility and presence in traditional finance (TradFi) circles.

## SUI Price Outlook

At the time of writing, the SUI token is hovering around $2.10 after posting a 5% gain over the past seven days. However, it has encountered a minor pullback, dropping about 3% today as the broader crypto market experiences a correction following yesterday’s rally.

Despite this short-term dip, sustained institutional interest and ongoing strategic partnerships position SUI for notable long-term growth. As the cryptocurrency industry matures, collaborations that blend compliance with innovation are likely to shape the future of blockchain technology.

Stay tuned for more updates on the evolution of Sui and other institutional-grade crypto solutions.

BeOne Medicines AG (ONC) Presents at Guggenheim Securities 2nd Annual Healthcare Innovation Conference Transcript

Leave a comment

**Interview with BeOne Medicines: Key Competitive Advantages and Rapid Growth**

**Michael Schmidt, Guggenheim Securities, LLC, Research Division:**
There are a lot of exciting things happening at BeOne Medicines. BeOne is, in my view, one of the fastest-growing large biotech companies. This is really the first year in its history that the company has reached profitability. At the same time, BeOne has developed one of the deepest product pipelines in the industry.

If we step back for a moment, Aaron, what do you see as the key competitive advantages of the BeOne platform?

**Aaron Rosenberg, Chief Financial Officer:**
Great, and thank you again for having us. There are so many differentiating features of BeOne Medicines that we could probably spend the entire time discussing them. For now, I’ll highlight just a few.

One of the aspects we often emphasize is our fully integrated, CRO-free clinical development organization. This allows us to maintain direct oversight and agility throughout the clinical development process.

Additionally, we have exceptional discovery capabilities. Our performance demonstrates this: in 2024 alone, we put 10 internally developed NMEs (New Molecular Entities) into the clinic, and, to date, that number has increased to 16. This is a testament to our strength in basic science and drug discovery.

From the beginning, we recognized the critical importance of clinical development in realizing the value of innovation. By integrating this expertise into our company, we ensure that we are able to rapidly and efficiently translate scientific breakthroughs into meaningful outcomes.
