Following the conclusion of European Council summit discussions on the future of the multilateral trading system, ICC Secretary General John W.H. Denton AO said:

“It’s very welcome to see EU leaders starting to engage on the question of how to preserve and progressively strengthen the rules-based trading system. This is, without doubt, a mission critical issue for the global business community — and one deserving the highest level of political attention.

“We believe that the immediate focus of discussions between the EU and CPTPP members should be on practical steps to stabilize the global trading system. The obvious starting point for this would be an agreement to harmonize rules of origin requirements between the two blocs.

“That might sound modest on paper — but reinforcing and simplifying the underpinnings of trade would provide a huge boost to business confidence.

“More broadly, it’s important that we don’t reduce the discussion on necessary reform of the trading system to one of institutional form.

“The focus needs to be squarely on outcomes: preserving rules-based trade, keeping markets open and progressively revitalizing global trade governance in line with the realities of 21st century commerce.

“In doing so, governments should be mindful of the fact that around 80% of trade today remains backed by World Trade Organization rules. Despite its many shortcomings, the WTO continues to play an essential role in facilitating millions of commercial transactions — day in, day out.

“President von der Leyen and Chancellor Mertz very rightly pointed last night to the importance of having a functioning system to resolve trade disputes. In a EU-CPTPP context it’s entirely possible this could be achieved by way a firm commitment to utilize the established workaround to the WTO’s appellate body — the Multi-Party Interim Appeal Arbitration Arrangement.

“We encourage CPTPP members that have not yet signed up to the MPIA to do so without delay. Given the economic imperative to provide renewed certainty to the business community, this is not the moment to be reinventing the wheel — we need to make full use of existing mechanisms to bring stability and predictability to global trade.”

MIL-OSI Banking: Joint Statement by ICC and WTO heads

Source: International Chamber of Commerce

Headline: Joint Statement by ICC and WTO heads

The statement said:

We reaffirm our shared commitment to harnessing the power of trade as a driver of global development.

A well-functioning multilateral trading system remains essential to enabling private sector-led growth — particularly in emerging and developing economies, where local businesses depend on predictable rules, open markets, and efficient trade processes to compete and thrive.

Yet too many businesses around the world continue to face barriers that hinder their full participation in global trade. From constrained access to trade finance and working capital services, to excessive border delays and customs inefficiencies, these obstacles often hit the smallest and most dynamic enterprises the hardest — undermining both job creation and development impact.

We call on governments and development partners gathered in Seville to:

— Reaffirm the centrality of the multilateral trading system as a foundation for global development;

— Strengthen efforts to identify and address regulatory frictions that inhibit cross-border trade and associated financing — including, as a priority, the erosion of correspondent banking networks and the unintended impacts of financial crime compliance regimes that have led to de-risking, particularly in regions most in need of trade finance.

— Support coordinated efforts to strengthen trade-related infrastructure, digitalization of trade processes, and targeted capacity building for SMEs to enhance economic and supply chain resilience.

As the global community focuses on strengthening economic resilience and fostering growth, enabling trade must be a central pillar of any serious strategy for mobilizing private capital at scale. This must be underpinned by a shared effort to modernize core multilateral trade rules in line with the realities of 21st century commerce.

We stand ready to work with all stakeholders to ensure that trade can deliver on its full potential for people, planet, and prosperity.

MIL-OSI Europe: AFRICA/KENYA – “Let us continue the dialogue with young people instead of blaming the bishops”

Source: Agenzia Fides – MIL OSI

Nairobi (Agenzia Fides) – “We want to ask everybody — the government, the leaders, and the political spheres — to look at the fact that we are taking care of the dignity of the young people,”said Archbishop Philip Arnold Subira Anyolo of Nairobi yesterday, Sunday, June 29, in a statement regarding the accusations made by the Minister of the Interior Kipchumba Murkomen against Catholic and non-Catholic religious leaders, whom the minister accuses of siding with the “anarchists” and failing to condemn the violence during the “Generation Z” protests on June 25 in memory of the victims of last year’s demonstrations against the Finance Bill (see Fides, 21, 25 and 26 June 2024).At least 16 people were killed in clashes with police during this year’s protests (see Fides, 26/6/2025). In his statement, the Archbishop of Nairobi emphasized that the Church cares about the lives of all people: “Life is never to be sacrificed for anything else, but to be given the future, for the prosperity of the nation and for the prosperity of human beings.”Archbishop Anyolo therefore reiterated his call to listen to young people: “we have to agree — all of us together — the leaders in government, the church, and the parents, all of us who take care of the young people, we need to listen to them and understand them and help them grow and mature”.Members of the Anglican Church also responded to the Minister of the Interior. “Give top priority to the economic well-being of the people. The cost of living is unbearable for many families. Young people are unemployed. Parents cannot pay school fees. Businesses are struggling. These are not just statistics; they are stories of real suffering. Government must listen, act, and respond quickly,” emphasized the Anglican Bishop of Nyahururu, Samson Gachathi.”I know that there will be no bishop or church member, neither Catholic nor Anglican, who will come out to defend the police. Nobody will speak about how the police were injured,”the Minister of the Interior declared, reiterating that nine police stations were attacked, five of which were set on fire. Dozens of police, government, and civilian vehicles were also damaged. The Ministry of Agriculture also claimed that more than 7,354 bags of fertilizer worth approximately $230,000 were stolen from a national warehouse in Meru County, about 200 kilometers east of Nairobi, taking advantage of the chaos of the demonstrations that turned violent. The theft was described by Kenyan authorities as a “direct attack on Kenya’s food security.” (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides, 30/6/2025)

Beijing (Agenzia Fides) – With a 24-hour Eucharistic adoration and prayers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Chinese Catholics celebrated the days before and after the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the spirit of popular piety, accompanying Chinese seminarians, bishops, and priests from June 25 to 27, in communion with Pope Leo XIV and the universal Church, during their Jubilee of Hope. In the Cathedral of the Diocese of Wenzhou, Eucharistic adoration began at 8 p.m. on June 26 and ended at 8 p.m. on June 27. The faithful were invited to pray especially for the “sanctification of priests.” The seminarians and priests themselves also addressed their prayers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, asking for the gifts of health, holiness, and the practice of Christian virtues. Eucharistic adoration was characterized by the recitation of the Rosary, listening to the Word of God, and sacred music. At the end of each hour, the prayer intentions for the sanctification of priests, at service of the mission of the Church, were recalled. The practice of Eucharistic adoration reminds everyone that only through the gift of the Eucharist do priests and lay people move forward each day with the request to experience the miracle of their own holiness and the holiness of others in their daily lives.In the Diocese of Taiyuan, Bishop Paul Meng Ningyou ordained two new priests on Saturday, June 28, on the occasion of the Jubilee. Bishop Meng recommended that they proclaim the Gospel, live it, and be an example to the faithful, as well as to ask for their own sanctification in light of Christ’s teachings, administer the sacraments, and be active in serving the faithful, and live their priesthood joyfully and in communion with the bishop.From June 23 to 26, priests from the Diocese of Sanyuan in the Chinese province of Shaanxi gathered to reflect on the “communal journey of the Holy Year” on the occasion of the Jubilee of Priests. During the four days of formation and sharing, the priests of the Diocese of Sanyuan meditated on their priestly ministry and the daily obligations of their pastoral experience in light of the testimonies and teachings of Saints and the Fathers of the Church. The four days spent together were a precious opportunity to renew their missionary zeal and continue their journey of conversion. (NZ) (Agenzia Fides, 30/6/2025)

Ho Chi Minh City (Agenzia Fides) – The Catholic Church in Vietnam continues to flourish in priestly vocations. In June 2025, the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and traditionally reserved for priestly ordinations, forty new priests were ordained, a precious gift for the Vietnamese Church: six in the Diocese of Da Nang, thirteen in the Diocese of Can Tho, in the Mekong Delta, and twenty-one in the Archdiocese of Ho Chi Minh City.The Diocese of Da Nang joyfully welcomed six new priests, “consecrated to be each an Alter Christus, to become pastors of the People of God, not to live for themselves, but to be all things to all people,” said Monsignor Joseph Dang Duc Ngan, Archbishop of Hue and Apostolic Administrator of Da Nang, during the solemn ordination of six priests, celebrated on June 24 in Da Nang Cathedral, attended by numerous faithful. Referring to the life of Saint John the Baptist, the Prelate recalled: “A priest does not become perfect from the day of his ordination. The priesthood is a journey of daily growth in Christ and constant strengthening in the Holy Spirit to fulfill the mission of God and the Church with joy and true love.” The following day, June 25, in Soc Trang Cathedral, Diocese of Can Tho, Bishop Peter Le Tan Loi presided over the ordination of thirteen new priests. During the celebration, the bishop invited the community “to unite in prayer and accompany the new priests, so that they may always lead a life faithful to their pastoral identity: humble, holy, and dedicated to the flock.”On June 27, 2025, the Day of the Sanctification of the Priesthood, the diocese of Ho Chi Minh City celebrated the ordination of twenty-one new priests. In his homily, Archbishop Joseph Nguyen Nang, Archbishop of the archdiocese, emphasized: “The priest is not like a robot of the modern age. The priest, in his ministry, takes God’s will seriously so that, in every action – liturgical, pastoral, and charitable – he may transmit the Good News.”At the Shrine of Our Lady of Bai Dau, in the Diocese of Ba Ria, Bishop Emmanuel Nguyen Hong Son presented six seminarians who received diaconal ordination during the Mass of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Indian economy remains a key driver of global growth: RBI

Source: Government of India

Source: Government of India (4)

Despite an uncertain and challenging global economic backdrop, the Indian economy remains a key driver of global growth, underpinned by sound macroeconomic fundamentals and prudent macroeconomic policies, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said on Monday.

The Reserve Bank, in the June 2025 issue of its ‘Financial Stability Report (FSR)’, said that elevated economic and trade policy uncertainties are testing the resilience of the global economy and the financial system.

“Financial markets remain volatile, especially core government bond markets, driven by shifting policy and geopolitical environment. Alongside, existing vulnerabilities such as soaring public debt levels and elevated asset valuations have the potential to amplify fresh shocks,” it read.

However, the domestic financial system is exhibiting resilience fortified by healthy balance sheets of banks and non-banks, said the RBI.

Financial conditions have eased supported by accommodative monetary policy and low volatility in financial markets. The strength of the corporate balance sheets also lends support to overall macroeconomic stability.

“The soundness and resilience of scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) are bolstered by robust capital buffers, multi-decadal low non-performing loans ratio and strong earnings,” the RBI report mentioned.

Results of macro stress tests affirm that most SCBs have adequate capital buffers relative to the regulatory minimum even under adverse stress scenarios. Stress tests also validate the resilience of mutual funds and clearing corporations.

“Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) remain healthy with sizable capital buffers, robust earnings and improving asset quality. The consolidated solvency ratio of the insurance sector also remains above the minimum threshold limit,” it noted.

In this global milieu, the Indian economy remains a key driver of global growth. Growth momentum is buoyed by strong domestic growth drivers, sound macroeconomic fundamentals and prudent policies.

“Nonetheless, external spillovers and weather-related events could pose downside risks to growth. The outlook for inflation, on the other hand, is benign and there is greater confidence in the durable alignment of inflation with the Reserve Bank’s target,” said RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra.

Financial sector regulators remain committed to protecting customers, promoting competition and fostering innovation as they strike the right balance between improving efficiency and growth, and safety and soundness.

“Financial stability, like price stability, is a necessary condition, and not a sufficient one to boost India’s potential growth. As custodians of financial stability, we must endeavour to develop a well-functioning financial system that not only promotes macroeconomic stability but also provides financial services efficiently,” said Malhotra.

The NATO Innovation Fund has made its first investment in a biotechnology company, it said on Monday, seeking to enhance defences against biological threats

The fund is co-leading a $35 million fundraising round for Portal Biotech, which uses protein sequencing to detect engineered threats and defend against biological warfare.

UK-based Portal Biotech’s capability is essential for biosecurity defence and security, said Ana Bernardo-Gancedo, senior associate at NATO Innovation Fund.

“We believe that it is absolutely imperative that we are able to detect, monitor and create countermeasures,” she said.

The fund, created in 2022 after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, plans to invest more than $1 billion in technologies that would enhance NATO’s defences.

Portal Biotech uses an AI-backed technology with biological sensors that can work at the single molecule level on-site, giving results within hours.

“It’s for everything from measuring diseases to better pandemic prevention … you can take this out of large labs with long turnaround times and into the field,” CEO Andy Heron told Reuters.

Heron said the company’s instruments can detect any pathogen and can be used for continuous monitoring of anything from a field to water supply.

“It allows you not just to detect what you did know was out there, but it allows you to detect what you didn’t know,” he said.

Beyond biosecurity, Portal Biotech expects its portable equipment to aid in drug discovery and precision medicine.

The company’s investors include Earlybird Venture Capital, Science Creates VC, Pillar VC, 8VC, We VC and British Business Bank.

MIL-OSI USA: Overcoming Engineering Challenges Was No Problem for This Student Team

Senior Design Demonstration Day is a pivotal day for graduating UConn Engineering students. It is where students can show the knowledge and skills they have acquired during their time at UConn through practical, real-world engineering applications.

One specific team was tasked with designing, building, and testing an unmanned electric hydroplane, with the end goal being to compete in ASNE’s 2025 Promoting Electric Propulsion (PEP) Competition. The objective of the competition included completing a 2-mile-long course at a minimum speed of 10 MPH, along with optimizing the boat for a payload of at least 30 pounds.

The joint team consisted of students from the mechanical engineering department and the electrical and computer engineering department and was sponsored by the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE), aided by ASNE advisor Michael Briscoe.

ME04 was comprised of students, Noah Hyman, Ian Pichs, Aldin Sabovic, Christopher Capozzi, and James Arnold and was advised by faculty Chang Liu. ECE13 included students Xingyu Qiu, Joshua Colon, and Thomas Clark and was advised by faculty Ashwin Dani.

“This senior design project gave me hands-on experience solving real-world engineering challenges through teamwork and collaboration,” said Arnold. “I was also able to forge valuable connections with industry professionals.”

Arnold was able to strengthen these connections, and recently received a post-grad offer of employment from General Dynamics Electric Boat. He’ll work as a systems engineer in the overhaul and repair engineering department.

The team said they were excited to take on this challenge. After reviewing where the 2023-2024 year’s team experienced difficulties, the team evaluated new propulsion systems and hull designs. They also researched batteries, motors, and cooling systems to mitigate various points of failure.

“A major part of this project included working with underclassmen,” said Pichs. “We were able to pass down our knowledge about electric propulsion systems, hull design, and nautical operational systems to them.”

When it came time to design their boat, the team opted for a J-class racing hydroplane, focusing on robustness to help ensure they completed the course. They chose a battery with increased capacity to account for added weight and suboptimal surface conditions, along with a higher performing motor. The cooling system they designed was minimal, helping to reduce points of failure or leakage.

As the team was gearing up for the April competition, they ran into some issues, mainly the weather. With inclement weather taking over New England, the team was only able to complete two full-system tests prior to leaving for the competition down in Virginia Beach.

During one of their tests, water intruded into the hull, shorting one of the most critical electrical components in the boat, the electronic speed controller (ESC). With limited time, the team needed to act fast and source a replacement.

Just one day before leaving, they secured a less powerful, air-cooled ESC.

During the qualifying lap for the competition, the team faced even more problems. They struggled to see the motor’s steering direction and the replacement ESC overheated due to increased load on the boat.

While the team qualified for the race, they had some serious issues to address prior to race day.

The team regrouped and put their heads together to come up with fast, innovative solutions.

To address their lack of visibility when steering the boat, the team opted to tape color-coded cardboard fins to either side of the motor. This allowed the team to easily see the steering direction.

The overheating of the new ESC posed a larger, more complex issue. Realizing that traditional air- or water-cooling could lead to further water damage inside the electronics bay, the team came up with an innovative solution… dry ice. The team realized they could pack the dry box with dry ice for cooling and silica powder to control moisture buildup.

The students split up into two teams; the first team addressed the steering issue, installing the color-coded fins to the motor; the second team sourced the dry ice they needed to pack the dry box with.

“Working on this project opened my eyes to how important it is to not give up when something goes wrong,” said Hyman, who is also now employed by General Dynamics Electric Boat. “There are always different ways to solve a problem.”

With both teams completing their tasks, the team was able to launch their boat at the start of the competition. Albeit, anxiously waiting to see if the quick fixes would hold up for the duration of the 2-mile course.

The team’s innovative and quick-thinking solutions paid off. They completed the course in 34 minutes, maintaining over 80% of the boat’s battery capacity, despite having a 60-lb payload.

“As Vice President of the Electric Boat Club, it was incredibly rewarding to see our team push through setbacks with creative solutions,” said Capozzi. “Whether it was sourcing parts last minute or coming up with dry ice cooling the night before the race, we proved what hands-on engineering and teamwork looks like at UConn.”

While they weren’t the fastest in the competition, the team left proud of their accomplishment and honored to represent UConn Engineering.

The ECE team placed first among the department’s teams in the Senior Design Demonstration Day student competition.

Post-Graduation Plans

The Senior Design program fosters and rewards student development. The process starts by working with a potential employer. Students are exposed to products, engineering practices, and the company sponsor’s culture, allowing them to assess their potential fit in the workplace. By having real-world engineer responsibilities for two semesters, students improve their marketability in the workforce. They demonstrate their success on Senior Design Day, graduate, and then leave UConn ready to serve as fully-qualified engineers.

Hyman and Arnold are now working at General Dynamic Electric Boat. Colon now works at Siemens as a building automation controls system specialist. Capozzi said he is exploring job opportunities in design and manufacturing in the naval and aerospace industries. Pichs, Sabovic, Qiu, and Clark were unavailable for a comment about their post-graduation plans.

MIL-OSI: Trust Stamp Partners with Neural Payments to Bring Innovative ID Security to the $3.2 Trillion P2P Payment Sector

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

With 8% of all banking customers saying they’ve been victimized by a P2P scam in the last 12 months, Trust Stamp and Neural Payments partner to decrease the risk of fraud and make banks and their customers more secure

Atlanta, GA, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trust Stamp (Nasdaq: IDAI) today announced a partnership with Neural Payments for the integration of Trust Stamp’s low-code Orchestration Platform. Neural Payments provides banks and credit unions with real-time person-to-person (P2P) payments, advanced fraud prevention, and flexible disbursement solutions. This integration provides robust Identity Verification for Know Your Customer (KYC) processes and selfie-based reauthentication for payments.

With the proliferation of popular P2P apps like PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle, the global P2P payment market size is projected to hit USD 3.63 trillion this year and reach USD 16.21 trillion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 18.10% from 2025 to 2034. Fraudsters have taken notice and are using combinations of generative AI and social engineering to intercept payments or trick users into voluntarily sending them money.

Andrew Gowasack, Trust Stamp’s President, commented, “I am excited to partner with Neural Payments to bring our AI-powered technology to the payment sector. Neural Payments has taken a proactive approach by enabling users to enroll using their face and government ID document, then to approve future payments with a selfie. Rather than storing sensitive biometric information, selfies are converted into Irreversibly Transformed Identity Tokens (IT2) which can be compared to future IT2. There is no need for callbacks, insecure one-time passcodes sent via SMS or email, or authenticator apps. Approving a payment is as easy as taking a selfie!”

Andrew Gowasack added, “Neural Payments already serves nearly 80 financial institutions, bringing the highest levels of security while removing friction for both payee and recipient. The Neural Payments team brings significant payments experience and top-tier technology. Financial institutions now have the convenience of security through Neural Payments, along with the strength of Trust Stamp’s identity fraud detection.”

Mick Oppy, founder and CEO of Neural Payments, commented, “At Neural Payments, we’re committed to making it easier and safer for banks and credit unions to offer the P2P experiences their customers demand.

MIL-OSI: Trust Stamp Partners with Neural Payments to Bring Innovative ID Security to the $3.2 Trillion P2P Payment Sector

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

With 8% of all banking customers saying they’ve been victimized by a P2P scam in the last 12 months, Trust Stamp and Neural Payments partner to decrease the risk of fraud and make banks and their customers more secure

Atlanta, GA, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trust Stamp (Nasdaq: IDAI) today announced a partnership with Neural Payments for the integration of Trust Stamp’s low-code Orchestration Platform. Neural Payments provides banks and credit unions with real-time person-to-person (P2P) payments, advanced fraud prevention, and flexible disbursement solutions. This integration provides robust Identity Verification for Know Your Customer (KYC) processes and selfie-based reauthentication for payments.

With the proliferation of popular P2P apps like PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle, the global P2P payment market size is projected to hit USD 3.63 trillion this year and reach USD 16.21 trillion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 18.10% from 2025 to 2034. Fraudsters have taken notice and are using combinations of generative AI and social engineering to intercept payments or trick users into voluntarily sending them money.

Andrew Gowasack, Trust Stamp’s President, commented, “I am excited to partner with Neural Payments to bring our AI-powered technology to the payment sector. Neural Payments has taken a proactive approach by enabling users to enroll using their face and government ID document, then to approve future payments with a selfie. Rather than storing sensitive biometric information, selfies are converted into Irreversibly Transformed Identity Tokens (IT2) which can be compared to future IT2. There is no need for callbacks, insecure one-time passcodes sent via SMS or email, or authenticator apps. Approving a payment is as easy as taking a selfie!”

Andrew Gowasack added, “Neural Payments already serves nearly 80 financial institutions, bringing the highest levels of security while removing friction for both payee and recipient. The Neural Payments team brings significant payments experience and top-tier technology. Financial institutions now have the convenience of security through Neural Payments, along with the strength of Trust Stamp’s identity fraud detection.”

Mick Oppy, founder and CEO of Neural Payments, commented, “At Neural Payments, we’re committed to making it easier and safer for banks and credit unions to offer the P2P experiences their customers demand. Fraud mitigation is no longer a passive issue for financial institutions – it’s a top concern that requires real-time and preemptive action. By integrating Trust Stamp’s cutting-edge identity verification directly into the payment flow, we’re equipping financial institutions with the tools to reduce fraud, streamline authentication, and keep their customers’ money and trust exactly where it belongs.

MIL-OSI: YURU COIN Officially Launches, Bringing Japan’s National Mascot Phenomenon into Web3

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

TOKYO, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — YURU COIN, the official token of Japan’s beloved Yuru-Chara Grand Prix, has officially launched, marking the first time the country’s largest regional mascot competition enters the blockchain era. With over 738 million page views and 170 million cumulative votes since 2011, the Grand Prix has become a cornerstone of Japanese pop culture — and now, YURU COIN is set to transform this legacy into a decentralized digital economy.

A Token Built on Scarcity: The Deflationary Model

YURU COIN operates on a fully deflationary tokenomics model. All tokens were minted at launch — with no additional issuance ever planned. Every time fans vote, participate in official campaigns, or interact with mascot NFTs, YURU COIN is burned or consumed, reducing the available supply. This unique economic structure ensures increasing scarcity and potential value growth as user engagement grows. Unlike speculative tokens that inflate markets with excess supply, YURU COIN’s value is driven by cultural participation and real-world utility.

Real Cultural Utility: From Votes to Economic Power
YURU COIN is not just a cryptocurrency—it is a token of participation in one of Japan’s most widely recognized and cherished cultural events. The Yuru-Chara Grand Prix has become a national tradition, allowing hundreds of regional mascots to gain popularity and recognition through fan voting and local promotions. And the results have been more than symbolic—they’ve been economic.

Consider Kumamon, the bear mascot from Kumamoto Prefecture and the Grand Prix’s first-ever champion. As of 2024, Kumamon’s merchandise sales reached ¥162.6 billion, with a record high of ¥166.4 billion in 2023, and a cumulative economic impact exceeding ¥1.45 trillion ($10 billion USD). This demonstrates the real-world power of character branding—not just for public relations, but for regional economies.

Winning the Yuru-Chara Grand Prix can literally be worth hundreds of millions of dollars in economic value — and now, YURU COIN gives fans a tokenized way to help make that happen.

A Decentralized Bridge Between Culture and Crypto

With the introduction of YURU COIN, voting for your favorite character is no longer just symbolic — it becomes an act of economic support.

Every vote powered by YURU COIN reinforces scarcity, creates digital demand, and fuels a new layer of community engagement. Fans, municipalities, and businesses alike can align around a decentralized, transparent voting and reward system that reflects real value.

This marks a major shift: from character branding as passive entertainment to token-driven, participatory economics.

Cross-Border Potential: Proven in China
Before the pandemic, the Yuru-Chara Grand Prix had already begun cultural collaboration initiatives in China, including public exhibitions and mascot exchanges.

Although temporarily paused by COVID-19, these efforts are now set to resume — with YURU COIN acting as the digital infrastructure to support global voting, character campaigns, and NFT-based engagement across borders.

By combining local culture with decentralized technology, YURU COIN is positioned to expand this unique Japanese character tradition to international audiences, starting with China and the broader Asian market.

The Future of Mascots is On-Chain

Mascots like Kumamon have proven that cute characters can generate trillion-yen-level economic value through emotional resonance, strong storytelling, and regional identity.

With YURU COIN, the next generation of mascot champions will rise not only through votes but through on-chain validation, powered by community support, blockchain transparency, and deflationary mechanics.

This is more than a token. It’s a cultural infrastructure. It’s a gateway to a new kind of participation economy — where the people decide, and the blockchain records.

Join the movement. Vote with value. Power the future of character culture.

Case study

Laser Focus: DASA and Dstl funding accelerates novel laser detection tech

A novel laser detection system developed by Sentinel Photonics has evolved from a promising concept to commercial technology through DASA and Dstl support.
Sentinel Photonics was founded in 2019 by former Dstl scientists who developed innovative laser detection technology. The scientists spun out their own company in 2020, licencing the technology from Dstl.

Another DASA-funded innovation which protects users’ eyesight from lasers has been adopted on the Army’s KS1 rifles.

Sentinel Photonics also secured a DASA Defence Innovation Loan to help grow the size of their team and further develop the technology.

The company has grown at a remarkable pace, from one full-time employee to a team of 20, with products being deployed across NATO nations.

The Innovation Journey

For military personnel operating in hostile environments, detecting adversaries’ lasers is a vital capability. From artillery targeting systems to drones, sniper range finders and precision strike guided munitions, lasers pose an increasing threat on the modern battlefield.

This challenge inspired Sean Tipper and Chris Burgess, while working as scientists at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), to develop a new approach to laser detection. Their innovation showed great promise during development at Dstl, where the core technology was conceived and initially tested.

“We worked on the core technology at Dstl for a number of years, developing the fundamental concepts,” explains Sean Tipper, now Chief Technology Officer at Sentinel Photonics. “We saw the potential for this technology to help protect our forces and founded Sentinel Photonics to take it to the next level of development and productisation.”

In 2019 the scientists and Ploughshare Innovations founded Sentinel Photonics to commercialise their invention, licencing the IP from Dstl and the Ministry of Defence (MOD). The company formally began operations in late 2020 with the critical support of early Dstl funding through the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA).

A new way of detecting lasers

Traditional laser warning systems rely on photodiodes that convert light to voltage, looking for rapid temporal changes. They look for quick, sharp changes, similar to how you can notice someone flicking a torch on and off in a dark room.

While effective for detecting laser pulses, they struggle with continuous wave lasers and can generate false alarms.

Sentinel’s breakthrough product, LASERD MAX (Laser Signal and Event Recording Device), uses a unique camera-based method that detects the spectral and spatial features of lasers. What sets LASERD MAX apart from conventional systems is its portability and comprehensive coverage. It doesn’t just monitor a narrow field of view but provides complete awareness.

Sentinel Photonics’ LASERD MAX system in action

“It’s more of an all-encompassing system,” explains Tipper. “It’s easy to detect one laser in one direction, but what makes our system unique is the ability to detect many different types of lasers simultaneously in a clustered background, even in challenging daylight conditions.”

The system can detect everything from drone LIDAR systems and artillery rangefinders to anti-tank guided missiles. It can also spot battlefield scanning systems that use invisible lasers to find hidden optics like sniper scopes.

“Our system can detect a broad range of laser threats,” says Tipper. “It’s novel because it’s portable and standalone, targeted for dismounted use and also at forward operating bases.”

The DASA and Dstl Impact

DASA and Dstl support proved instrumental at multiple points in Sentinel Photonics’ development journey. Their first DASA projects in late 2020 provided critical funding that allowed Tipper to work full-time on developing the technology.

“Those early DASA projects were really critical because that’s where I experimented with different sensors and camera systems and picked the exact sensors and optics we’re still using today,” says Tipper.

As Sentinel Photonics progressed with their innovation journey, they reached a critical point where they needed to grow their team to meet increasing demand and develop their technology further.

In 2022, DASA’s Defence Innovation Loans provided the perfect opportunity to take this next step.

The loan helped transform the organisation from a founder-led startup into a growing enterprise with the capabilities to deliver advanced defence technology.

“Without the Defence Innovation Loan, we wouldn’t have been able to deliver for Dstl, and we wouldn’t have had the resources to increase the size of our team,” Tipper notes.

Commercial Success

Sentinel Photonics’ progress has been remarkable. From just one person working part-time in 2020, the company has grown to 20 people by 2025. Their product line has expanded to include not just the LASERD MAX detection system but also products such as FROST (Filters for Reduction of Optical Signature Thresholds).

The FROST system, also developed with DASA funding and Dstl technical support, protects eyes from laser damage and prevents detection by scanning systems. This technology has achieved significant commercial success and has been integrated into the KS1 rifles that have entered service with UK Armed Forces through a partnership with Edgar Brothers, Sentinels UK partner, as part of the Hunter programme.

Sentinel Photonics’ FROST system installed on a KS1 scope

The company has also expanded its reach beyond the UK. “We’re expanding across Europe and NATO nations in general, finding partners to bring our products into those markets,” says Tipper. “There’s a direct link from DASA-funded work to us making sales and getting partners into markets.”

The SME has now established strategic collaborations with Glomex in Poland, TBM in the Netherlands, StarC4SIS in Romania and Precision Technic Defence Group in Denmark to add to its already established partnerships with Danger Solutions in Australia and Outervision in France.

The Collaborative Ecosystem

Sentinel’s story highlights the powerful collaboration between Dstl, DASA, and innovative small businesses. Dstl provided the foundation for the core technology and continues to work with Sentinel Photonics by providing technical support. DASA helped bridge the critical gap between concept and the commercially viable product.

For Sentinel, DASA’s involvement has offered more than just funding. “DASA has been a very useful mechanism to test ideas and feasibility within defence,” explains Tipper. “It gives us a way to understand how important what we’re developing is to potential users and get early sight of that as well.”

Looking ahead, Sentinel aims to shift from an R&D focused in its early years to a balanced commercial approach to increase their foothold in defence.

As threats continue to evolve on the modern battlefield, innovations like Sentinel’s laser detection systems and FROST system can play an increasingly vital role in protecting UK and coalition forces. Their journey from laboratory concept to battlefield protection demonstrates the importance of supporting promising defence technologies through the challenging path of commercialisation.

MIL-OSI Russia: Grigory Kulishenko defended the Chinese people at the cost of his life and will forever remain in the memory of future generations

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: People’s Republic of China in Russian – People’s Republic of China in Russian –

Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

CHONGQING, June 30 (Xinhua) — Wei Yingxiang, a native of Wanzhou in southwest China’s Chongqing City, never imagined that his life would be linked to a Soviet pilot he had never met. The pilot’s name was Grigory Akimovich Kulishenko.

Grigory Akimovich Kulishenko, born in 1903, became a squadron commander of bombers in the Soviet Air Force, and in 1939, together with his comrades, was sent by the Soviet government to China with two groups of bombers to help the Chinese people in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

In October 1939, G. A. Kulishenko, leading a bomber group of the volunteer air forces for aid to China, carried out a raid on the Japanese airfield in Hankou and inflicted serious damage on the Japanese army.

On the way back, G. A. Kulishenko’s plane was intercepted by the enemy and one of the engines was shot down, as a result of which he was wounded in the chest and left shoulder. When he took off over Wanxian County (now Wanzhou District, Chongqing City), the plane lost its balance, and in order to protect the plane and people on the ground, the commander refused the parachute and made an emergency landing on the surface of the Yangtze River in the Chenjiaba District of Wanxian County.

Two of his comrades swam to the shore, but the wounded Kulishenko was carried away by the current and died a heroic death at the age of 36.

Local residents found the pilot’s body 20 days later. They held a memorial service and funeral in his honor.

“I experience the misfortune of the Chinese people as if I were experiencing the misfortune of my homeland. It is very hard for me to see how the Japanese indiscriminately bomb Chinese soil,” G. Kulishenko said with feeling during his lifetime.

The Chinese people have not forgotten this hero.

In 1958, the Wanxian County People’s Government built a special cemetery for G. Kulishenko. That year, Wei Yingxiang was 4 years old. He thought that this hero must be great.

Wei Yingxiang’s grandfather lived by the Yangtze River and volunteered to search for G. A. Kulishenko’s remains along the river along with many other people. His grandfather told him that G. A. Kulishenko died defending the Chinese people.

That year, Wei Yingxiang’s mother, Tan Zhonghui, took on the duties of guardian of G.A. Kulishenko’s grave. At the age of 31, Tan Zhonghui was engaged in landscaping in Xishan Park. Due to her respect for G.A. Kulishenko, she volunteered to guard the grave, clean the cemetery, wipe the tombstone, pull out weeds, trim branches and leaves, regardless of the weather.

In 1977, before retiring, Wei Yingxiang’s mother wanted to entrust her son with guarding the grave. Young Wei Yongxiang thought that working at the cemetery was boring and monotonous. But his mother insisted that he should be persistent even in monotonous tasks: “This hero’s home is far from Chongqing, and he has no relatives here, so we should accompany him and not let him feel lonely.”

Since then, guarding the grave of Grigory Kulishenko became the most honorable thing in Wei Yingxiang’s life. There were organizations and enterprises that offered him a high salary, but Wei Yingxiang rejected the offers one after another.

After retiring in 2014, he still visits the cemetery every day, as if visiting an old friend. “I always worry and worry about him,” Wei Yingxiang said, adding that his mother also influenced him. After her retirement, she would go to the cemetery every morning to check if everything was in order, so that her heart would be at peace. In 2018, Tan Zhonghui died at the age of 91. Before her death, she still remembered Grigory Kulishenko’s grave and asked her son to protect it.

For decades, under the care of this mother and son, the G. A. Kulishenko cemetery has served as an example of the gratitude of the Chinese people, and the exploits of the heroes have been passed down from generation to generation.

Around the tombstone of G. Kulishenko grow tall trees planted by Tan Zhonghui, Wei Yingxiang’s mother. He said that he would guard this grave during his lifetime, because for him “this is not only a responsibility and deep gratitude, but also the conscience of the Chinese people.” -0-

MIL-OSI Economics: New Bohemian Regional Division to be established within the CNB’s Cash and Payments Department

Source: Czech National Bank

The Czech National Bank (CNB) is continuing to implement changes in the Cash and Payments Department, aimed at significantly speeding up and simplifying client services. With effect from 1 July 2025, a new Bohemian Regional Division will be established, headed by the current Director of the CNB’s Prague branch Vladislav Jetenský. The Bank Board made this decision at its meeting on 20 March 2025.

The Bohemian Regional Division will be created through the merger of the Prague and Hradec Králové branches as part of the CNB’s broader strategy for service digitalisation. The aim is to simplify and speed up communication with clients, regardless of their location. Digitalisation will enable faster processing of requests and more convenient access to the CNB’s services.

Vladislav Jetenský graduated in finance from the Prague University of Economics and Business. He worked at the CNB as banking supervision inspector in 2001–2003 and then in ING as senior auditor, head of internal audit for the Czech Republic and Slovakia and head of the financial controlling team. He returned to the CNB in 2017 and held the post of Director of the Capital Market Supervision and Control Division of the Financial Market Supervision Department II. He served as Executive Director of the Internal Audit Department from 2021 to 2024. He has been Director of the Prague branch of the Cash and Payments Department since June 2024.

MIL-OSI USA: U.S. refining capacity largely unchanged as of January 2025

Source: US Energy Information Administration

In-brief analysis

June 30, 2025

Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Refinery Capacity Report
Note: Data reflect refinery capacity as of January 1 of the indicated year.

According to our latest annual Refinery Capacity Report, U.S. operable atmospheric distillation capacity, the primary measure of refinery capacity, totaled 18.4 million barrels per calendar day (b/cd) on January 1, 2025—essentially flat compared with last year.

We publish two measures of refinery capacity in the report: barrels per calendar day and barrels per stream day. Calendar day capacity represents the operator’s estimate of the input volume that a distillation unit can process in a 24-hour period under usual operating conditions, factoring in both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. The calendar day capacity reported by companies may differ slightly from other published figures because of differences in estimation methods.

Stream day capacity reflects the maximum input that a distillation facility can process within a 24-hour period when running at full capacity with an optimal crude oil and product slate and with no allowance for downtime. Stream day capacity is typically about 6% higher than calendar day capacity.

In 2025, the three largest refiners in the United States—Marathon, Valero, and ExxonMobil—all reported calendar day capacity increases of less than 1% compared with 2024. These changes likely stem from small-scale process improvements, rather than major capacity expansions, unlike previous years. No major refinery expansions or transactions occurred from January 2024 through January 2025, unlike in 2023 when a handful of major projects were completed, including a significant expansion at ExxonMobil’s Beaumont, Texas, facility.

Motiva’s Port Arthur refinery reported increased calendar day throughput, regaining its position as the largest single U.S. refinery on a barrels-per-calendar-day basis. However, the facility’s stream day capacity remained unchanged compared with 2024. On a barrels-per-stream-day basis, Marathon’s Galveston Bay refinery remains the largest in the United States, at 665,000 barrels per stream day.

LyondellBasell ended refining operations at its 263,776-b/cd refinery in Houston in March 2025, but the report does not reflect this change because the facility was still operational on January 1.

This year’s Refinery Capacity Report includes 132 operable refineries, the same as in 2024. The count does not include the Philipps 66 Rodeo refinery, which converted to renewable diesel production last year and has potential to produce sustainable aviation fuel as well.

Our report also added Pasadena Performance Products, a new facility near Houston, Texas. Owned by Next Wave Energy Partners, the facility exclusively produces alkylate, a valuable blending component for motor gasoline. The facility uses natural gas liquids to produce alkylate instead of refining crude oil and hasn’t reported traditional refinery units such as a crude oil distillation column.

The 2025 Refinery Capacity Report captures U.S. refining capacity changes in effect as of January 1, 2025.
