  • MIL-OSI: XRP Gains Major Momentum — JA Mining Offers Holders a Smarter Way to Earn Passive Income

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Warwick, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
    XRP has received major positive news – it has officially reached a settlement with the SEC, market sentiment is high, prices have rebounded, trading volume has soared, and trading volume has exceeded US$3 billion within 24 hours, and the price of the currency has continued to rise. For the entire crypto industry, this is not only the end of an incident, but also the beginning of a new era. And now, there is a more solid good news: as long as you hold XRP, you have the opportunity to make it no longer “sleep”!

    JA Mining can lead XRP holders to participate in mining, which means that XRP holders do not need to invest in high computing power or equipment costs to obtain stable passive income through the platform mechanism. No longer just waiting for the rise, now your XRP can “earn while lying down“.

    At this time of frequent good news, choosing the right tools and grasping every potential of the asset may be the key to being one step ahead. JA Mining is taking practical actions to turn passive currency holding into active income.

    So what is JA Mining?

    JA Mining has created an efficient, compliant, and decentralized cloud mining ecosystem. Different from the traditional “heavy asset, high threshold” mining method, JA Mining provides a “Hashrate-as-a-Service” model, allowing users to simply register and select contracts to complete the entire closed loop from mining to profit distribution through the platform.

    For XRP holders, this means three things:

    1. Assets are no longer dormant: holding means participating, and daily mining dividends are obtained

    2. No technical burden: the platform is fully managed, 0 configuration, 0 maintenance

    3. Efficient and transparent returns: daily income is automatically settled, and can be checked and withdrawn at any time

    Why choose JA Mining?

    •  · Regulatory compliance: regulated by the UK FCA, the flow of funds is transparent, compliant and traceable.
    •  · Global computing power scheduling: distributed data centers to ensure efficient operation around the clock.
    •  ·  Green energy drive: promote sustainable encryption computing power ecology, taking into account profitability and environmental protection.
    •  ·  Multi-currency support: support BTC, ETH, XRP and other assets, adapt to diversified investment needs.
    •  ·  Secure custody mechanism: platform asset management uses multiple encryption and cold and hot wallet isolation.

    How to join JA Mining to achieve higher returns?

    Three simple steps to start your passive income journey immediately:

    1. Register an account: Visit (https://jamining.com/) and quickly register with your email

    2. Select a computing power plan and start mining: Choose mining packages with different terms and yields according to your personal goals. The system will run automatically and the income will be distributed daily

    3. Start mining: After selecting and activating the mining plan, mining rewards will be credited to your account every day to ensure that you will not miss any income.

    How to achieve higher returns? The key is “reinvestment + compound growth”

    In JA Mining, users can automatically use the mining income they receive daily to repurchase computing power (reinvestment), or they can choose to reinvest manually. By continuously “rolling the income into the principal”, you will achieve a growth model similar to bank compound interest:

    Wealth growth formula:

    Total income = initial investment × (1 + daily yield) ^ number of days + continuous reinvestment income

    The core advantage of this model is that the longer the time, the greater the computing power, and the faster the income growth. This is the power of the compound interest effect, and it is also the key for smart investors to achieve long-term wealth accumulation.

    The following is an example of potential income you can get:

    Conclusion

    As the crypto asset market gradually matures, how to make digital assets achieve continuous appreciation has become a focus of general attention among investors. JA Mining provides a new passive income solution for holders of mainstream currencies such as XRP with its compliant, safe and low-threshold cloud mining services. Through the combination of technology-driven and compound interest mechanisms, the platform not only reshapes the growth path of digital wealth, but is also leading a more efficient and inclusive mining revolution.

    Don’t let your digital assets “lie flat“, let it create daily cash flow for you now.

    Resilient Chinese economy injects certainty into the world amid rising protectionism

    BEIJING, April 15 — Despite headwinds of rising protectionism, increasing signals point to a good start for China’s economy for the first quarter (Q1) of 2025, injecting much-needed certainty and confidence into the world.

    The Chinese economic momentum is highlighted by domestic demand, industrial production and foreign trade, and driven by pro-growth policies, innovation, and structural adjustment.

    The Chinese government has prioritized such tasks as boosting domestic demand, developing new quality productive forces, implementing landmark reform measures, and expanding high-standard opening up, for this year.

    Foreign trade remains one of the bright spots for the largest developing country, whose Q1 goods trade volume hit a record high for the same period. Beating market expectations, China’s exports in Q1 grew by 6.9 percent. The resilience of foreign trade has been underpinned by its diversification of international markets and innovation-based competitiveness.

    Other figures also attest to the steady recovery trend, especially the upward trajectory since the final quarter of last year. The purchasing managers’ index of the manufacturing sector registered a one-year high in March and remained in expansion territory for the second consecutive month.

    In the first two months of this year, industrial production, consumption, and investment growth rates surpassed last year’s full-year figures. The domestic sales of excavators for major manufacturers grew by 28.5 percent in March, reflecting the momentum in infrastructure investment.

    Consumption is gaining new momentum because of the expanded large-scale equipment upgrade and consumer goods trade-in programs. The Q1 retail sales of refrigerators and other household appliances increased by 38.4 percent year on year, and those of mobile phones and other communication equipment increased by 27.3 percent, according to value-added tax invoice data from the State Taxation Administration.

    China’s new energy industries and green transition, driven by its cutting-edge technologies, remain important growth drivers. Green technology promotion services in energy conservation and environmental protection, as well as the sales revenue of the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry, all posted double-digit growth in Q1. Among the country’s innovation achievements, humanoid robotics and large artificial intelligence models have driven the development of relevant industries.

    Despite external challenges, China is determined to manage its own affairs well, advancing Chinese modernization and pursuing high-quality development while sharing with other countries the new opportunities presented by its development.

    Through reassuring messages from policymakers at multiple symposiums, conferences, and expos this year, confidence has been significantly strengthened in the private sector and among foreign investors. This could be seen from a year-on-year increase of 33.4 percent in border crossings by foreign nationals in Q1, and a record 65 Fortune Global 500 companies and industry leaders attending the ongoing fifth China International Consumer Products Expo in south China’s Hainan Province.

    The sustained economic growth in Q1 has laid a solid foundation for accomplishing the country’s annual economic growth target of around 5 percent for 2025. China will implement more proactive macro policies, introduce new incremental policies as needed, and ensure effective economic work in the second quarter and beyond, with intensified efforts across all tasks.

    With sufficient and effective policy tools, China has the confidence and capability to achieve this year’s economic and social development goals, tackle external uncertainties, and contribute certainty and stability to the world amid rising protectionism.

  • MIL-OSI Global: Mysterious objects from other stars are passing through our solar system. Scientists are planning missions to study them up close

    Source: The Conversation – UK – By Billy Bryan, Research Leader, RAND Europe

    NASA/ESA/STScI

    In late 2017, a mysterious object tore through our solar system at breakneck speed. Astronomers scrambled to observe the fast moving body using the world’s most powerful telescopes. It was found to be one quarter mile (400m) long and very elongated – perhaps 10 times as long as it was wide. Researchers named it ‘Oumuamua, Hawaiian for “scout”.

    ‘Oumuamua was later confirmed to be the first object from another star known to have visited our solar system. While these interstellar objects (ISO) originate around a star, they end up as cosmic nomads, wandering through space. They are essentially planetary shrapnel, having been blasted out of their parent star systems by catastrophic events, such as giant collisions between planetary objects.

    Astronomers say that ‘Oumuamua could have been travelling through the Milky Way for hundreds of millions of years before its encounter with our solar system. Just two years after this unexpected visit, a second ISO – the Borisov Comet – was spotted, this time by an amateur astronomer in Crimea. These celestial interlopers have given us tantalising glimpses of material from far beyond our solar system.

    But what if we could do more than just watch them fly by?

    Studying ISOs up close would offer scientists the rare opportunity to learn more about far off star systems, which are too distant to send missions to.

    There may be over 10 septillion (or ten with 24 zeros) ISOs in the Milky Way
    alone. But if there are so many of them, why have we only seen two? Put simply, we cannot accurately predict when they will arrive. Large ISOs like ‘Oumuamua, that are more easily detected, do not seem to visit the solar system that often and they travel incredibly fast.

    Ground- and space-based telescopes struggle to respond quickly to incoming ISOs, meaning that we are mostly looking at them after they pass through our cosmic neighbourhood. However, innovative space missions could get us closer to objects like ‘Oumuamua, by using breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) to guide spacecraft safely to future visitors. Getting closer means we can get a better understanding of their composition, geology, and activity – gaining insights into the conditions around other stars.

    Emerging technologies being used to approach space debris could help to approach
    other unpredictable objects, transforming these fleeting encounters into profound
    scientific opportunities. So how do we get close? Speeding past Earth at an average of 32.14 km/s, ISOs give us less than a year for our spacecraft to try and intercept them after detection. Catching up is not impossible – for example, it could be done via gravitational slingshot manoeuvres. However, it is difficult, costly and would take years to execute.

    The good news is that the first wave of ISO-hunting missions is already in motion:
    Nasa’s mission concept is called Bridge and the European Space Agency (Esa) has a mission called Comet Interceptor. Once an incoming ISO is identified, Bridge would
    depart Earth to intercept it. However, launching from Earth currently requires a 30-day launch window after detection, which would cost valuable time.

    The Comet Interceptor mission is scheduled to launch in 2029.
    ESA / Work performed by ATG under contract to ESA, CC BY-SA

    Comet Interceptor is scheduled for launch in 2029 and comprises a larger spacecraft and two smaller robotic probes. Once launched, it will lie in wait a million miles from Earth, waiting to ambush a long period comet (slower comets that come from further away) – or potentially an ISO. Placing spacecraft in a “storage orbit” allows for rapid deployment when a suitable ISO is detected.

    Another proposal from the Institute for Interstellar Studies, Project Lyra, assessed the feasibility of chasing down ‘Oumuamua, which has already sped far beyond Neptune’s orbit. They found that it would be possible in theory to catch up with the object, but that this would also be very technically challenging.

    The fast and the curious

    These missions are a start, but, as described, their biggest limitation is speed. To chase down ISOs like ‘Oumuamua, we’ll need to move a lot faster – and think smarter.

    Future missions may rely on cutting-edge AI and related fields such as deep learning – which seeks to emulate the decision making power of the human brain – to identify and respond to incoming objects in real time. Researchers are already testing small spacecraft that operate in coordinated “swarms”, allowing them to image targets from multiple angles and adapt mid-flight.

    At the Vera C Rubin Observatory in Chile, a 10-year survey of the night sky is due to begin soon. This astronomical survey is expected to find dozens of ISOs each year. Simulations suggest we may be on the cusp of a detection boom.

    Any spacecraft would need to reach high speeds once an object is spotted and
    ensure that its energy source doesn’t degrade, potentially after years waiting in
    “storage orbit”. A number of missions have already utilised a form of propulsion called a solar sail.

    These use sunlight on the lightweight, reflective sail to push the spacecraft through space. This would dispense with the need for heavy fuel tanks. The next generation of solar sail spacecraft could use lasers on the sails to reach even higher speeds, which would offer a nimble and low cost solution compared to other futuristic fuels, such as nuclear propulsion.

    The Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile should discover more interstellar objects.
    RubinObs/NOIRLab/SLAC/NSF/DOE/AURA/Y. AlSayyad

    A spacecraft approaching an ISO will also need to withstand high temperatures and possibly erosion from dust being ejected from the object as it moves. While traditional shielding materials can protect spacecraft, they add weight and may slow them down.

    To address this, researchers are exploring novel technologies for lightweight, more durable and resistant materials, such as advanced carbon fibres. Some could even be 3D printed. They are also looking at innovative uses of traditional materials such as cork and ceramics.

    A suite of different approaches is needed that involve ground-based telescopes and space based missions, working together to anticipate, chase down and observe ISOs.

    New technology could allow the spacecraft itself to identify and predict the trajectories of incoming objects. However, potential cuts to space science in the US, including to observatories like the James Webb Space Telescope, threaten such progress.

    Emerging technologies must be embraced to make an approach and rendezvous with an ISO a real possibility. Otherwise, we will be left scrabbling, taking pictures from afar as yet another cosmic wanderer speeds away.

    Today’s organizations continue to struggle with fragmented views of their data landscape, navigating multiple dashboards and third-party tools to obtain critical components of DSPM including data security, cloud backup, policy management, insights, and operational intelligence. 86% of organizations cannot balance their data security needs with business objectives, and when it comes to using AI, 47% of IT leaders are either not very confident or have no confidence at all in their organization’s ability to manage security and access risks. 

    AvePoint’s Risk Posture Command Center eliminates this complexity, offering an intuitive interface that not only delivers immediate visibility into an organization’s risk posture, but also provides actionable recommendations. This powerful combination enables organizations to quickly understand their data landscape and take precise, informed actions to enhance data protection and security within the AvePoint Confidence Platform.

    “For years, AvePoint has built engines to help our customers improve their risk postures, but now, with the AvePoint Risk Posture Command Center, we’re making that easier to see and act upon, within one single pane of glass,” said John Peluso, Chief Technology Officer, AvePoint. “As data complexity threatens to overwhelm even the most sophisticated teams, we’re providing a clear path forward, transforming potential data sprawl into a strategic advantage that drives innovation, reduces risk, and unlocks agility for every organization.”

    The AvePoint Risk Posture Command Center arms organizations with:

    • Early Threat Detection: Comprehensive ransomware detection capabilities.
    • Protection at a Glance: A unified view of data protection status, with a centralized dashboard displaying backup health and identifying potential data oversharing risks.
    • Compliance Confidence: Insights into potential compliance vulnerabilities.
    • Data Intelligence in Action: A visual representation of the data landscape, to offer actionable intelligence for risk mitigation and next steps for enhanced data protection and security.
    • Generated Recommended Insights: Information to take immediate action on vulnerabilities and security risks.

    Released earlier this year, the AI Confidence Command Center was AvePoint’s first Command Center, helping organizations assess the security and success of their AI investments. Its features allow organizations to evaluate their overall adoption performance of Microsoft 365 Copilot and understand change management success from enablement to adoption, while also noting potential risk factors.

    “AvePoint’s Command Centers are more than a technology solution – they are a strategic transformation engine. By breaking down the traditional silos between technical teams and business leadership, these dashboards create a universal language of data intelligence,” said John Hodges, Chief Product Officer, AvePoint. “What was once confined to IT departments can now drive board-level strategy, turning raw data into a powerful narrative of organizational health, risk management, and future potential.”

  • MIL-OSI: Zero Hash Powered $2 Billion+ in Tokenized Fund Flows within the Last Four Months

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CHICAGO, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zero Hash, the leading infrastructure for stablecoins and crypto, today announced it powered more than $2 billion in tokenized fund flows within the last four months – fueling the rise of on-chain capital markets.

    As adoption of tokenized funds accelerates, Zero Hash has emerged as a core enabler of the on-chain markets ecosystem. Its infrastructure underpins the payment rails for tokenized funds, including BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) in partnership with Securitize, as well as Franklin Templeton’s BENJI Token and the Hamilton Lane Private Infrastructure Fund (HLPIF) in partnership with Republic. Zero Hash facilitates compliant, real-time, 24/7/365 funding across seven stablecoins, underpinned by 22 blockchains.

    Tokenization has the potential to fundamentally reshape financial markets by enabling instant, always-on settlement. Traditional payment systems, however, aren’t designed to support this level of availability and remain a bottleneck. Stablecoins unlock the true utility of tokenized assets, including stable instruments, enabling them to move as flexibly as the blockchain allows. Zero Hash payment rails are an essential tool for institutions looking to unlock blockchain technology and enable completely on-chain transactions, from asset origination to redemption, without having to manage the complexities of accepting stablecoins.

    In his annual Letter to Investors, BlackRock Chairman and CEO Larry Fink wrote, “Every stock, every bond, every fund – every asset – can be tokenized. If they are, it will revolutionize investing. Markets wouldn’t need to close. Transactions that currently take days would clear in seconds. And billions of dollars currently immobilized by settlement delays could be reinvested immediately back into the economy, generating more growth.” This vision is already in motion – and Zero Hash is powering the payment rails underpinning tokenized assets.

    “Tokenized finance is no longer theoretical. Institutions are deploying real capital to tokenization and need the payment infrastructure to match,” said Edward Woodford, CEO and Founder of Zero Hash. “Our rails enable fully on-chain transactions end-to-end, real-time, 24/7/365. Zero Hash abstracts the blockchain complexity and meets the regulatory standards required by the largest financial firms.”

    Zero Hash’s infrastructure is trusted by global businesses that require enterprise-grade stablecoin payment rails. This is because Zero Hash addresses two of the most pressing barriers to institutional adoption: regulatory compliance around source-of-funds transparency and technical complexity. Zero Hash’s abstracts away the complexity of multi-chain, multi-stable operations – allowing issuers to operate with the simplicity of account-to-account transfers, while their infrastructure handles the complexities behind the scenes.

    In less than four months, Zero Hash has facilitated over $2 billion in tokenized funding through partners including Securitize, Franklin Templeton, and Republic. The broader market reflects that momentum. The tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market grew ~85% year-over-year to hit $15.2 billion by the end of 2024. In the first quarter of 2025, another $5.44 billion was added – bringing total RWA value on-chain to $20.64 billion, as of April 11th (Source: rwa.xyz). Zero Hash’s on-ramped approximately 35% of all on-chain RWAs in Q1, solidifying its position as a foundational layer in the evolving capital markets stack.

    As institutional adoption deepens, Zero Hash continues to serve as the stablecoin infrastructure partner of choice for asset managers and platforms driving the future of financial services.

  • MIL-OSI: Broadcom Introduces Industry’s First Incident Prediction Capability to Stop Living-Off-The-Land Attacks

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALO ALTO, Calif., April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) today announced Incident Prediction, an industry-first security capability that extends Adaptive Protection, a unique feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Complete (SES-C), by leveraging AI to identify and disrupt living-off-the land (LOTL) attacks and other cyberthreats.

    Trained on a catalog of over 500,000 real-world attack chains built by the world-class Symantec Threat Hunter Team, Incident Prediction puts the advantage back in defenders’ hands by: predicting attackers’ behaviors, preventing their next move in the attack chain even when they’re using legitimate software, and then quickly returning the enterprise to its normal state. With Incident Prediction, SES-C delivers exceptional cyber resilience against motivated adversaries.

    “The inspiration for Incident Prediction came from how GenAI can ‘predict’ the next word when generating text,” said Eric Chien, Fellow, Symantec Threat Hunter Team, Broadcom. “By leveraging our extensive attack chain repository and threat intelligence using advanced AI and ML, Incident Prediction can predict the next four or five possible moves attackers will make in a customer’s environment, disrupt them, and then revert to normalcy right away. As a result, security analysts no longer need to triage the event to figure out mitigation strategies; Incident Prediction does that automatically for them.”

    With Incident Prediction, SOC analysts and other security professionals can:

    • Automate mitigation and disrupt attackers: Automatically identify the next steps that a specific attacker will most likely take based on past attack patterns. It then applies mitigation policies to block those predicted actions, disrupting most attacker’s progress before they can reach their end goal of encrypting data or exfiltrating information.
    • Reduce burden on SOC analysts: Eliminate the need for SOC analysts to manually triage alerts, analyze attack sequences and determine mitigation strategies. It handles this automatically, freeing up analysts to focus on other security priorities.
    • Avoid business impact: Incident Prediction provides specific granular attacker behaviors to block limiting impact to normal business processes. Common day, but crude mitigation measures, which disrupt business such as quarantining machines, shutting down the network, removing user access, or reimaging machines are largely unnecessary.
    • Reduce attack surface: Enhancing Symantec Adaptive Protection, which identifies and recommends blocking low-prevalence applications and behaviors to proactively shrink the attack surface. It helps close the “doors” to attackers and their common attack techniques.

    The use of legitimate software by cybercriminals, the approach used in LOTL attacks, is on the rise. According to “Ransomware 2025: A Resilient and Persistent Threat,” a new report by the Symantec Threat Hunter Team, LOTL attacks are used by nearly all ransomware actors. Nation-state actors also use them to conduct surveillance or exfiltrate data. And large organizations are not the only victims – mid-market businesses increasingly are targeted. Instead of re-imaging the whole machine or changing everyone’s credentials when an attack is discovered, security professionals can use Incident Prediction to have more granular control over their security by blocking only the attacker’s most likely behaviors to reduce the risk of business disruption and enable a streamlined incident response – as attacks happen – all without additional cost.

    “Broadcom is focused on providing enterprise-grade security for all organizations, whether they have a mature SOC or a small security team. Incident Prediction delivers on this commitment – organizations can enhance SOC capabilities regardless of sophistication,” said Jason Rolleston, Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise Security Group, Broadcom. “Today, every organization needs to empower their security teams to become faster, stronger and more resilient against highly sophisticated APT groups. With Incident Prediction, they now have an automated system that can flag, act and help protect against cyberattacks – as they happen – faster and more cost-effectively.”

    See Us At RSAC™ 2025 Conference

    Broadcom is a Gold Sponsor of RSAC™ 2025 Conference, which will take place April 28 – May 1, 2025 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

  • MIL-OSI: Unlimited Expands ETF Lineup with New Global Macro Hedge Fund Strategy

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bob Elliott, CEO and CIO of Unlimited, today announced the launch of the Unlimited HFGM Global Macro ETF (NYSE: HFGM), a new actively managed exchange-traded fund offering exposure to global macro hedge fund style strategies. The Fund capitalizes on Mr. Elliott’s extensive experience as a systematic global macro portfolio manager by dynamically allocating capital long and short across a wide range of global markets opportunities in search of mispricing. The fund utilizes liquid exchange-listed futures contracts, and a basket of ETFs based upon systematic signals. The positions are adjusted based on evolving market conditions with the goal of adding diversification benefits to investors’ portfolios.

    HFGM seeks to capitalize on global market mispricing opportunities spanning currency, fixed income, equity, credit and exchange rate markets. Global macro managers have a long track record of generating consistent alpha with low correlation to the broader equity and fixed income markets. HFGM deploys Unlimited’s proprietary, data-driven technology to interpret the current positioning of global macro managers and replicate those positions in its own portfolio.

    The launch of HFGM expands on Unlimited’s mission to provide investors with access to hedge fund-style returns without the high fees and tax inefficiencies that can erode performance over time. Unlimited’s ETF offering includes the Unlimited HFND Multi-Strategy Return Tracker ETF (NYSE: HFND), which has a two-year track record of offering investors exposure to a broad set of hedge fund style strategies.

    “Financial advisors and institutional investors facing turbulent markets are looking for ways to diversify their portfolios, but many find the high fees, lack of liquidity and adverse tax treatment associated with traditional alts offerings untenable,” said Mr. Elliott. “Our Global Macro ETF was designed to offer a volatility target aligned with equity markets as an investor-friendly way to add the diversification features of alts to a balanced portfolio.”

    Hedge fund strategies overall have historically generated strong uncorrelated returns for investors, but high fees combined with inefficient tax structures have significantly eroded that performance.

    HFGM offers a transparent, liquid, and cost-effective alternative to traditional hedge fund allocations, carrying a lower expense ratio than the standard “2 and 20” hedge fund fee model.

    HFGM is the first of several new actively managed ETFs the firm plans to launch over the coming months. The suite includes two additional strategies that have been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission with launch plans in the works for later this year, Unlimited HFMF Managed Futures ETF and Unlimited HFEQ Equity Long/Short ETF.

    Unlimited’s ETFs are managed by Mr. Elliott, former investment committee member at Bridgewater Associates and Bruce McNevin, co-founder and Chief Data Scientist at Unlimited. Mr. McNevin brings extensive experience in quantitative modeling and data science, having held positions at hedge funds Clinton Group and Midway Group, as well as Bank of America and BlackRock.

    Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectus. A prospectus may be obtained by visiting www.unlimitedetfs.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

    Important Risks

    Underlying ETFs Risks. The Fund will incur higher and duplicative expenses because it invests in Underlying ETFs. There is also the risk that the Fund may suffer losses due to the investment practices of the Underlying ETFs. The Fund will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of securities held by the Underlying .ETFs.

    Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Sub-Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund.

    Machine Learning, Model and Data Risk. The Fund relies heavily on proprietary “machine learning” selection processes. In addition, the composition of the Fund’s portfolio is heavily dependent on proprietary quantitative models as well as information and data supplied by third parties (“Models and Data”).

    Volatility Risk. The Fund seeks to achieve a higher level of volatility than its target hedge fund industry sector, which may result in substantial price fluctuations over short periods. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments may rise or fall significantly, and investors should be prepared for increased levels of volatility compared to traditional equity funds.

    Commodity Risk. Underlying ETFs that invest in the commodities markets may be subject to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities.

    Derivatives Risk. The Fund’s or an Underlying ETF’s derivative investments have risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of such instruments and the underlying assets or index; the loss of principal, including the potential loss of amounts greater than the initial amount invested in the derivative instrument; the possible default of the other party to the transaction; and illiquidity of the derivative investments.

    Emerging Markets Risk. The Fund may invest in Underlying ETFs that invest in securities issued by companies domiciled or headquartered in emerging market nations. Investments in securities traded in developing or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to such securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, currency, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and investments in more developed international markets.

    Fixed Income Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in Underlying ETFs that invest in fixed income securities. The prices of fixed income securities may be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness and financial strength of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing fixed income securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration and/or higher quality fixed income securities.

    Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities held by Underlying ETFs in which the Fund invests involve certain risks not involved in domestic investments and may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than investments in securities of U.S. companies.

    Futures Contracts Risk. The Fund or Underlying ETFs may invest in futures contracts. Risks of futures contracts include: (i) an imperfect correlation between the value of the futures contract and the underlying asset; (ii) possible lack of a liquid secondary market; (iii) the inability to close a futures contract when desired; (iv) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which may be unlimited; (v) an obligation for the Fund or an Underlying ETF, as applicable, to make daily cash payments to maintain its required margin, particularly at times when the Fund or Underlying ETF may have insufficient cash; and (vi) unfavorable execution prices from rapid selling.

    New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

    Short Selling Risk. The Fund may make short sales of securities of Underlying ETFs, which involves selling a security it does not own in anticipation that the price of the security will decline. Short sales may involve substantial risk and leverage. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will be required to buy (“cover”) the security sold short when the security has appreciated in value or is unavailable, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. Short sales also involve the risk that losses may exceed the amount invested and may be unlimited.

    Swap Agreement Risk. The Fund or an Underlying ETF may invest in swap agreements. Swap agreements could result in losses if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. Swaps can have the potential for unlimited losses. They are also subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund (or the Underlying Fund) may lose money.

    Definitions:

    20 and 2 strategy: Describes the standard fee structure charged by advisers of private funds, which generally includes a 2% asset-based management fee, in addition to a 20% performance fee charged on the profits on investments.

  • MIL-OSI Global: Preventive care may no longer be free in 2026 because of HIV stigma − unless the Trump administration successfully defends the ACA

    Source: The Conversation – USA – By Kristefer Stojanovski, Assistant Professor of Social, Behavioral and Population Sciences, Tulane University

    Many Americans were relieved when the Supreme Court left the Affordable Care Act in place following the law’s third major legal challenge in June 2021. This decision permitted widely supported policies to continue, such as ensuring health coverage regardless of preexisting conditions, allowing coverage for dependents up to age 26 on their parents’ plan, and removing annual and lifetime benefit limits.

    But millions are still at risk of losing access to lifesaving medicine and preventive services, following the Supreme Court’s decision to hear another case – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. v. Braidwood – that has been working its way through lower courts for several years.

    Interestingly, the Trump administration has chosen to build upon the same argument the Biden administration used to defend the law.

    HIV stigma and preventive care

    The case the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear in April 2025 was filed by Braidwood Management, a Christian for-profit corporation owned by Steven Hotze, a Texas physician and Republican activist who has previously filed multiple lawsuits against the Affordable Care Act.

    Braidwood and its co-plaintiffs, a group of conservative Christian employers, objected to providing their 70 employees free access to preexposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, a medicine that prevents HIV infection. Hotze claimed that PrEP “facilitates and encourages homosexual behavior, intravenous drug use and sexual activity outside of marriage between one man and one woman,” without citing scientific evidence to support this. He and his plaintiffs argue that religious beliefs prevent them from providing PrEP under their insurance plans.

    The AIDS epidemic has been claiming lives for decades.

    Since the HIV/AIDS epidemic began in the 1980s, the disease has been politicized and stigmatized. Because it had predominantly affected men who had sex with men, AIDS was initially called gay-related immune deficiency, making people reluctant to be associated with the disease. It was only after a teenage boy from Indiana named Ryan White contracted HIV from a blood transfusion to treat his hemophilia, along with public statements from high-profile celebrities such as Arthur Ashe and Magic Johnson about their HIV status, that social attitudes began to shift with more education about AIDS.

    Yet, the same stigma is still at play in the Braidwood case and other recent policy decisions. In 2023, for example, Tennessee officials declined US$9 million in federal funding for HIV prevention. Those federal funds focused on groups most affected by HIV, including men who have sex with men, heterosexual Black women and people who inject drugs.

    Tennessee has since transitioned to using state dollars for HIV prevention, with a focus on first responders, pregnant women and sex trafficking survivors, groups that aren’t major at-risk populations. Researchers have found that this pivot will be a less efficient use of funds, costing $1 million per life-year saved versus $68,600 when focusing on the most at-risk populations.

    Preventive care and the Affordable Care Act

    The ongoing stigma and politicization of HIV/AIDS may not only hamper the national goal of ending the HIV epidemic but also lead to less or no preventive care for many people.

    Section 2713 of the Affordable Care Act requires insurers to offer full coverage of preventive services endorsed by one of three federal groups: the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices or the Health Resources and Services Administration. For example, the CARES Act, which allocated emergency funding in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, used this provision to ensure COVID-19 vaccines would be free for many Americans.

    For a preventive service to be covered by this provision, it requires an A or B rating from the Preventive Services Task Force, an independent body of experts trained in research methods, statistics and medicine that evaluates the rigor and quality of available scientific evidence, with support from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Vaccinations require a recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while women’s health services require approval from the Health Resources and Services Administration.

    PrEP received an A rating in June 2019, given its near 100% effectiveness. This paved the way for it to be covered at no cost for millions of people.

    Over 150 million Americans with private health insurance are able to benefit from free preventive care through the Affordable Care Act, with around 60% using at least one free preventive service each year.

    The consequences of losing these benefits would likely be an increase in the number of people getting and dying from preventable diseases. Raising the cost barrier for PrEP, for example, would disproportionately harm younger patients, people of color and those with lower incomes. It will also increase the cost of HIV prevention.

    As public health researchers who study sexual health and health insurance, we believe that prevention and health equity in the U.S. stand to take a big step backward, depending on the outcome of the Braidwood case.

    Future of preventive care lies with Supreme Court

    The most recent ruling in Braidwood – made by a lower court in 2023 – focuses on the appointments clause of the U.S. Constitution, which specifies that certain governmental positions require presidential appointment and Senate confirmation, while other positions have a lower bar.

    District Judge Reed O’Connor ruled that because the Preventive Services Task Force is an independent volunteer panel and not made up of officers of the U.S. government, it does not have appropriate authority to make decisions about what preventive care should be free, unlike the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices or Health Resources and Services Administration. O’Connor also ruled that being forced to cover PrEP violated the religious freedom of the plaintiffs.

    O’Connor invalidated all of the task force’s recommendations since the Affordable Care Act was passed in March 2010, returning the power to insurers and employers to decide which, if any, preventive care would remain free to their patients. A few of the recommendations affected by his ruling besides PrEP include blood pressure, diabetes, lung and skin cancer screenings, along with medications to lower cholesterol and reduce breast cancer risk.

    The Trump administration filed a brief continuing the argument from the Biden administration that because the Preventive Services Task Force is overseen by the secretary of Health and Human Services, there is appropriate oversight of the task force and its decision-making by a Senate-confirmed officer. Oral arguments in the case are scheduled for April 21, 2025.

    Insurance contracts are typically defined by calendar year, so if the Supreme Court rules against the government, people would likely see changes starting in 2026. Importantly, these services will likely still need to be covered by health insurance plans as essential health benefits through a separate provision of the ACA − they just won’t be free anymore.

    There were concerns that the Supreme Court could take the ruling even further, endangering the free coverage of contraception and other preventive care that wasn’t covered by the lower court ruling. The Trump administration’s support for the case may make this less likely by leaning into the authority of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary to support or override recommendations made by the Preventive Services Task Force and the other bodies.

    However, this could also mean the secretary of HHS can more directly control the task force’s recommendations, potentially determining whether PrEP, contraception and other services are available at no cost to patients. Building more political authority into the process − as well as partisan differences in support for LGBTQ+ health − belies the original intent of having nonpartisan medical experts make decisions about preventive care coverage. Legal experts we have spoken to caution that this approach may be more about preserving powers for the executive branch rather than actually protecting preventive care.

    All of this is happening in the context of massive layoffs at HHS. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, which supports the Preventive Services Task Force, was not spared from the recent cuts. It is unclear how all of this will affect the task force’s ability to continue its work, separate from the outcome of Braidwood.

    One way or another, the end to this yearslong case is nearing, with important implications for America’s ability to reach its goals in fighting cancer, diabetes and the HIV epidemic.

  • MIL-OSI Global: How bird flu differs from seasonal flu − an infectious disease researcher explains

    Source: The Conversation – USA – By Hanna D. Paton, PhD Candidate in Immunology, University of Iowa

    The flu sickens millions of people in the U.S. every year, and the past year has been particularly tough. Although infections are trending downward, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called the winter of 2024-2025 a “high severity” season with the highest hospitalization rate in 15 years.

    Since early 2024, a different kind of flu called bird flu, formally known as avian influenza, has been spreading in birds as well as in cattle. The current bird flu outbreak has infected 70 Americans and caused two deaths as of April 8, 2025. Public health and infectious disease experts say the risk to people is currently low, but they have expressed concern that this strain of the bird flu virus may mutate to spread between people.

    As a doctoral candidate in immunology, I study how pathogens that make us sick interact with our immune system. The viruses that cause seasonal flu and bird flu are distinct but still closely related. Understanding their similarities and differences can help people protect themselves and their loved ones.

    What is influenza?

    The flu has long been a threat to public health. The first recorded influenza pandemic occurred in 1518, but references to illnesses possibly caused by influenza stretch back as as early as 412 B.C., to a treatise called Of the Epidemics by the Greek physician Hippocrates.

    Today, the World Health Organization estimates that the flu infects 1 billion people every year. Of these, 3 million to 5 million infections cause severe illness, and hundreds of thousands are fatal.

    Influenza is part of a large family of viruses called orthomyxoviruses. This family contains several subtypes of influenza, referred to as A, B, C and D, which differ in their genetic makeup and in the types of infections they cause. Influenza A and B pose the largest threat to humans and can cause severe disease. Influenza C causes mild disease, and influenza D is not known to infect people. Since the turn of the 20th century, influenza A has caused four pandemics. Influenza B has never caused a pandemic.

    An influenza A strain called H1N1 caused the famous 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, which killed about 50 million people worldwide. A related H1N1 virus was responsible for the most recent influenza A pandemic in 2009, commonly referred to as the swine flu pandemic. In that case, scientists believe multiple different types of influenza A virus mixed their genetic information to produce a new and especially virulent strain of the virus that infected more than 60 million people in the U.S. from April 12, 2009, to April 10, 2010, and caused huge losses to the agriculture and travel industries.

    Both swine and avian influenza are strains of influenza A. Just as swine flu strains tend to infect pigs, avian flu strains tend to infect birds. But the potential for influenza A viruses that typically infect animals to cause pandemics in humans like the swine flu pandemic is why experts are concerned about the current avian influenza outbreak.

    Seasonal flu versus bird flu

    Different strains of influenza A and influenza B emerge each year from about October to May as seasonal flu. The CDC collects and analyzes data from public health and clinical labs to determine which strains are circulating through the population and in what proportions. For example, recent data shows that H1N1 and H3N2, both influenza A viruses, were responsible for the vast majority of cases this season. Standard tests for influenza generally determine whether illness is caused by an A or B strain, but not which strain specifically.

    Officials at the Food and Drug Administration use this information to make strain recommendations for the following season’s influenza vaccine. Although the meeting at which FDA advisers were to decide the makeup of the 2026 flu vaccine was unexpectedly canceled in late February, the FDA still released its strain recommendations to manufacturers.

    The recommendations do not include H5N1, the influenza A strain that causes avian flu. The number of strains that can be added into seasonal influenza vaccines is limited. Because cases of people infected with H5N1 are minimal, population-level vaccination is not currently necessary. As such, seasonal flu vaccines are not designed to protect against avian influenza. No commercially available human vaccines currently exist for avian influenza viruses.

    How do people get bird flu?

    Although H5N1 mainly infects birds, it occasionally infects people, too. Human cases, first reported in 1997 in Hong Kong, have primarily occurred in poultry farm workers or others who have interacted closely with infected birds.

    Initially identified in China in 1996, the first major outbreak of H5 family avian flu occurred in North America in 2014-2015. This 2014 outbreak was caused by the H5N8 strain, a close relative of H5N1. The first H5N1 outbreak in North America began in 2021 when infected birds carried the virus across the ocean. It then ripped through poultry farms across the continent.

    The H5N1 strain of influenza A generally infects birds but has infected people, too.

    In March 2024, epidemiologists identified H5N1 infections in cows on dairy farms. This is the first time that bird flu was reported to infect cows. Then, on April 1, 2024, health officials in Texas reported the first case of a person catching bird flu from infected cattle. This was the first time transmission of bird flu between mammals was documented.

    As of March 21, 2025, there have been 988 human cases of H5N1 worldwide since 1997, about half of which resulted in death. The current outbreak in the U.S. accounts for 70 of those infections and one death. Importantly, there have been no reports of H5N1 spreading directly from one person to another.

    Since avian flu is an influenza A strain, it would show up as positive on a standard rapid flu test. However, there is no evidence so far that avian flu is significantly contributing to current influenza cases. Specific testing is required to confirm that a person has avian flu. This testing is not done unless there is reason to believe the person was exposed to sick birds or other sources of infection.

    How might avian flu become more dangerous?

    As viruses replicate within the cells of their host, their genetic information can get copied incorrectly. Some of these genetic mutations cause no immediate differences, while others alter some key viral characteristics.

    Influenza viruses mutate in a special way called reassortment, which occurs when multiple strains infect the same cell and trade pieces of their genome with one another, potentially creating new, unique strains. This process prolongs the time the virus can inhabit a host before an infection is cleared. Even a slight change in a strain of influenza can result in the immune system’s inability to recognize the virus. As a result, this process forces our immune systems to build new defenses instead of using immunity from previous infections.

    Reassortment can also change how harmful strains are to their host and can even enable a strain to infect a different species of host. For example, strains that typically infect pigs or birds may acquire the ability to infect people. Influenza A can infect many different types of animals, including cattle, birds, pigs and horses. This means there are many strains that can intermingle to create novel strains that people’s immune systems have not encountered before – and are therefore not primed to fight.

    It is possible for this type of transformation to also occur in H5N1. The CDC monitors which strains of flu are circulating in order prepare for that possibility. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has a surveillance system for monitoring potential threats for spillover from birds and other animals, although this capacity may be at risk due to staff cuts in the department.

    These systems are critical to ensure that public health officials have the most up-to-date information on the threat that H5N1 poses to public health and can take action as early as possible when a threat is evident.

  • MIL-OSI: Cyabra Announces Record 2024 Financial Performance, Doubling Revenue and Strengthening Gross Margins

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York, NY, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cyabra Strategy Ltd. (“Cyabra”), a leading AI platform for real-time disinformation detection, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2024, showcasing exceptional growth and strengthened gross margins. The company’s revenue surged from $1.9 million in 2023 to $4.2 million in 2024, marking a 116% year-over-year increase. Additionally, Cyabra significantly improved its gross margins, rising from 69% in 2023 to 81% in 2024, reflecting enhanced operational efficiency and strong demand for its cutting-edge technology solutions.

    “This past year has been transformative for Cyabra, as our capabilities continue to set the standard in the fight against disinformation,” said Dan Brahmy, CEO and Co-Founder of Cyabra. “Our strong revenue growth and gross margin expansion demonstrate the increasing reliance of enterprises and governments on our technology to navigate the evolving digital landscape.”

    The company’s robust performance in 2024 was driven by increased demand from both public and private sector clients, as organizations increasingly recognize the need to identify the sources of harmful narratives and inauthentic online activity.

    Cyabra has entered into a business combination agreement with Trailblazer Merger Corporation I (NASDAQ: TBMC), a blank-check special-purpose acquisition company.

    FINANCIAL RESULTS

    • Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, were approximately $4,155 thousand, reflecting an increase of 116% compared to $1,922 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023. The growth in revenues was primarily due to an expansion in the customer base, with approximately 50% of 2024 revenues coming from new customers acquired during the year.
    • Cost of revenues for 2024 was approximately $782 thousand, marking an increase of 30% from $603 thousand in 2023. This increase was primarily driven by a higher level of commercial activity.
    • Research and development expenses for 2024 were approximately $4,653 thousand, an increase of 30% compared to $3,593 thousand in 2023, largely due to expanded payroll and personnel investments in Cyabra’s R&D team.
    • Sales and marketing expenses for 2024 reached approximately $3,316 thousand, reflecting an increase of 21% from $2,738 thousand in 2023. This was primarily due to an increase in headcount and related expenses in sales and marketing teams.
    • General and administrative expenses for 2024 were approximately $4,602 thousand, an increase of 395% compared to $929 thousand in 2023. The increase was mainly attributed to higher professional services costs associated with the business combination with Trailblazer, along with increased payroll and related expenses.
    • Finance expenses for 2024 were approximately $6,398 thousand, an increase of 959% compared to $604 thousand in 2023. The increase was mainly due to increased expenses related to the revaluation of financial liabilities measured at fair value.
    • Total loss for 2024 amounted to approximately $15,610 thousand, reflecting an increase of 138% from $6,550 thousand in 2023, primarily driven by the factors described above.

  • MIL-OSI: MEXC Sees 170% Surge in Trading Volume Amid Zero-Fee Campaign

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

     

    VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has reported a notable increase in trading activity following the launch of its Zero-Fee Trading Campaign in the first quarter of 2025. The program aimed to remove fees from particular futures trading pairs while simultaneously boosting user interaction and substantial growth throughout essential platform metrics.

    During the first three months of the year, the platform witnessed an increase of 17.8% in monthly active traders and a 170.2% surge in trading volume, driven by the introduction of popular trading pairs such as SOL/USDT, HYPE/USDT, and S/USDT. These listings matched user preferences and overall market trends, reinforcing MEXC’s position as a leader in both exchange performance and liquidity depth.

    Top Performing Pairs: SOL/USDT and ADA/USDT
    The campaign’s most active trading pairs included SOL/USDT together with DOGE/USDT, ADA/USDT, TRUMPOFFICIAL/USDT and SUI/USDT.

    SOL/USDT achieved the highest trading volume increase of 185.62%, comprising 19% of total futures trading volume and becoming the leading pair of the quarter. ADA/USDT showed outstanding growth through a 369.44% increase in trading volume accompanied by a 393.05% increase in daily average share, highlighting the effectiveness of zero fees in boosting interest for promising assets.

     

    Market Share Growth: Dominance in Key Trading Pairs
    In terms of market share growth, AIXBT/USDT led the rankings with a 331% increase, followed by DOGE/USDT (+283%) and SOL/USDT (+209%). Notably, DOGE/USDT and SOL/USDT achieved the highest market share in their categories on CoinMarketCap, at 30.5% and 30.3%, respectively. ADA/USDT followed with a 20.6% share, securing second place in its category, while HYPE/USDT posted a 165% increase in market share.

    • AIXBT/USDT (+331%)
    • DOGE/USDT (+283%)
    • SOL/USDT (+209%)
    • ADA/USDT (+186%)
    • HYPE/USDT (+165%)

    A Breakthrough in Campaign Performance and Exchange Leadership
    During Q1 2025, the Zero Trading Fee Campaign established MEXC as a leading force behind market volume and activity for both well-known and up-and-coming tokens. MEXC achieved wider trader participation and increased liquidity by eliminating fees on popular trading pairs.

    The campaign’s success is attributed to precise timing, well-chosen trading pairs, and a clear, simplified fee structure — rather than external incentives or large-scale marketing. These results suggest that subtle adjustments to cost structures can have an outsized impact on user engagement and trading dynamics.

    MEXC continues to evaluate the results of the initiative and explore further opportunities to enhance user experience in the upcoming quarters.

    About MEXC
    Founded in 2018, MEXC is committed to being “Your Easiest Way to Crypto”.
