UK private jet charter firm celebrates 100 flights successfully booked via cryptocurrency as High-Net-Worth Individuals choose safe and simple payments for private air travel

LONDON, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Leading international cryptocurrency brokerage service Instacoins today marked a major landmark in its partnership with UK-based private jet charter firm Sandbanks Jets, with more than 100 private flights booked successfully via cryptocurrency.

It is a significant moment for the crypto industry as it looks to offer a viable alternative to traditional banking methods. Its increased popularity and legitimacy has led to many individuals opting to embrace its ease of access and transfer. For companies, crypto can offer solid and clear benefits by helping to reduce costs, increasing efficiency, and attracting a whole new demographic of clientele.

Sandbanks Jets has been delivering an exceptional experience to its clients for many years, and recently introduced cryptocurrency as a method of payment in response to increasing demands from the market. They did this by teaming up with Instacoins, a cryptocurrency brokerage service that enables businesses like Sandbanks to simplify crypto payments.

This strategic decision by Sandbanks has led to a consistent year-over-year increase in bookings, with the significant milestone of 100 flights successfully booked via cryptocurrency payments bringing an increase in revenue, client acquisition and client retention across the board.

“As a provider of private jet charter services, being able to pay with cryptocurrency is something a lot of our high-net-worth clients are looking for as a payment option,” says Jules Coughlan. Head of Financial Operations, Sandbanks. “Using an exchange like Instacoins makes the process very simple, and low risk for us as we receive the required amount in fiat currency, rather than cryptocurrency which can be volatile.”

Crypto becoming the payment method of choice for HNW Individuals

For many years, cryptocurrencies were dismissed as just another speculative bubble that would eventually burst. In recent times however, digital currencies have not only proved they are here to stay but have rapidly established themselves as a legitimate asset class in their own right.

Since 2018, Instacoins has been bridging the gap between traditional finance and crypto, enabling people from all walks of life to buy, send, and store cryptocurrencies. But high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) in particular have embraced crypto as one of their preferred methods of payment, leading to a rise in demand in areas such real estate, luxury travel, private jet leasing and air charter services.

This steady upward trend is particularly evident for premium services where cryptocurrencies provide a secure way for HNWIs to make a payment quickly and securely while eliminating cross-border transfer fees and exchange rates.

The ongoing success achieved in the collaboration between Sandbanks and Instacoins demonstrates just how far cryptocurrencies have come in a short space of time, and offers a blueprint for crypto payment models in the luxury goods market moving forward.

“Sandbanks has been an incredible partner for us,” says Kris Farrugia, Head of Operations, Instacoins. “What started out as a few transactions has steadily climbed and taken off! The team at Sandbanks insists on the highest standards of excellence, and this has been a great help as we continually refine our personalised services.”

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
