Security is a design choice, and our reserve model shows a long-term approach to protecting users at all times,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

    With the June update showing stronger reserves across all major assets, Bitget continues to lead among centralized exchanges in publishing independent, verifiable, and surplus-backed Proof of Reserves.

    Risk Disclosures:

    Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated objectives. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees. One cannot invest directly in an index.

    This information should not be relied upon as research, investment advice, or a recommendation regarding any products, strategies, or any security in particular. This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change. Certain content represents an assessment of the market environment at a specific time and is not intended to be a forecast of future events or a guarantee of future results; material is as of the dates noted and is subject to change without notice.

    The Fund may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. A derivative (i.e., futures/forward contracts, swaps, and options) is a contract that derives its value from the performance of an underlying asset. The primary risk of derivatives is that changes in the asset’s market value and the derivative may not be proportionate, and some derivatives can have the potential for unlimited losses. Derivatives are also subject to liquidity and counterparty risk. The Fund is subject to liquidity risk, meaning that certain investments may become difficult to purchase or sell at a reasonable time and price. If a transaction for these securities is large, it may not be possible to initiate, which may cause the Fund to suffer losses. Counterparty risk is the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to an agreement fails to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the derivative.

    AI-exposed companies face profitability challenges due to high research costs, competition, IP reliance, and regulatory risk. Product failures or safety concerns could be detrimental. Identifying AI companies accurately is complex. Tech firms face risks of product failure, obsolescence, regulatory impact, and uncertain profitability due to technological advancements and government policies. Certain tech investments may lack current profitability and future success is uncertain. The Fund is subject to non-U.S. issuers risk, which may be less liquid than investments in U.S. issuers, may have less governmental regulation and oversight, are typically subject to different investor protection standards than U.S. issuers, and the economic instability of the non-U.S. countries. Fluctuations in currency of foreign countries may have an adverse effect to domestic currency values. The Fund may invest in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). Securities issued in IPOs have no trading history, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods. In addition, the prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile. In addition, as the Fund increases in size, the impact of IPOs on the Fund’s performance will generally decrease.

    Large capitalization companies may struggle to adapt fast, impacting their growth compared to smaller firms, especially in expansive times. This could result in lower stock returns than investing in smaller and mid-sized companies. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. The Fund is new and does not yet have a significant number of shares outstanding. If the Fund does not grow in size, it will be at greater risk than larger funds of wider bid-ask spreads for its shares, trading at a greater premium or discount to NAV, liquidation and/or a trading halt. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. The Fund’s assets are expected to be concentrated in a sector, industry, market, or group of concentrations to the extent that the Underlying Index has such concentrations. The securities or futures in that concentration could react similarly to market developments. Thus, the Fund is subject to loss due to adverse occurrences that affect that concentration.

    A large number of shares of the Fund are held by a single shareholder or a small group of shareholders. Redemptions from these shareholders can harm Fund performance, especially in declining markets, leading to forced sales at disadvantageous prices, increased costs, and adverse tax effects for remaining shareholders. KOID is non-diversified.

    ETF shares are bought and sold on an exchange at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. However, shares may be redeemed at NAV directly by certain authorized broker-dealers (Authorized Participants) in very large creation/redemption units. The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Beginning 12/23/2020, market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn’t available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer (“NBBO”) as of the time the ETF calculates the current NAV per share. Prior to that date, market price returns were based on the midpoint between the Bid and Ask price. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time.

    The KraneShares ETFs and KFA Funds ETFs are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Company (SIDCO), 1 Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456, which is not affiliated with Krane Funds Advisors, LLC, the Investment Adviser for the Funds, or any sub-advisers for the Funds.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • Collaboration with French MedTech company, TISSIUM, has resulted in FDA approval for unique 3D-printed polymeric solution for repair of peripheral nerve damage
    • 3D Systems’ bioprinting system enabled production of a 3D-printed bioabsorbable medical device leveraging TISSIUM’s proprietary biomorphic programable polymers—a major industry milestone that sets new standard for high resolution elastomeric 3D-printed medical implants
    • Builds on 3D Systems’ pioneering work to develop additive manufacturing solutions for regenerative medicine applications
    • 3D Systems’ solutions accelerating additive manufacturing use in bioprinting—total market anticipated to reach more than $2 billion by end of 2029

    ROCK HILL, South Carolina, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) announced that its 3D bioprinting technologies have enabled FDA approval for the regenerative repair of peripheral nerve damage. For the last several years, 3D Systems has partnered with TISSIUM, a French MedTech company that is a pioneer in the development of biomorphic programmable polymers for tissue reconstruction, to develop a bespoke 3D printing solution for the repair of damaged peripheral nerves. Combining TISSIUM’s expertise and proprietary biomorphic programable polymers with 3D Systems’ ground-breaking regenerative medicine bioprinting technologies has resulted in the successful development of a fully bioabsorbable 3D-printed medical device for nerve repair utilizing a unique photopolymer. This device, called COAPTIUM® CONNECT with TISSIUM Light, is a first-of-its-kind, atraumatic, sutureless solution for the repair of peripheral nerves. Earlier this week, TISSIUM announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted De Novo marketing authorization for this solution. This milestone validates the polymer’s clinical potential and paves the way for its use across a broad spectrum of transformative applications. Its unique polymer characteristics enable the production of high-resolution, elastomeric biodegradable implants that are unique in the industry.

    “This is a significant advancement in patient care,” said Scott Turner, vice president, advanced systems, 3D Systems. “It has been tremendously rewarding to work alongside the talented team at TISSIUM to design a complete 3D bioprinted solution that offers the potential for patients to recover from peripheral nerve damage. I truly believe this will redefine treatment paradigms and offer hope to individuals that have suffered from the effects of nerve damage in regaining their quality of life.”

    This milestone is yet another proof point of 3D Systems’ nearly decade-long leadership position in bioprinting. In 2017, 3D Systems entered into a joint development program with United Therapeutics Corporation, the goal of which is to establish an unlimited supply of human lungs, requiring no immunosuppression, allowing all patients with end-stage lung disease to receive transplants which will enable them to enjoy long and active lives. 3D Systems has focused primarily on establishing the 3D printing technology to produce scaffolds meeting the extreme precision and resolution requirements for a functional human lung and to do so in a manner that yields the physical, mechanical, and biocompatibility performance to influence cell behavior and reproduction required for extended use in the human body. Its Print to Perfusion™ process enables 3D printing of high-resolution scaffolds, which can be perfused with living cells to create tissues. Through the combination of bioprinting technology, biocompatible 3D printing materials, and a broad range of cell types including patient-derived cells, the Company’s biomedical engineers can construct patient-specific living tissues.

    “Over the past several years, we have made phenomenal progress building upon Chuck Hull’s invention of 3D printing, and pushing its capabilities into new frontiers,” said Dr. Jeffrey Graves, president & CEO, 3D Systems. “Whether in our medical device business through the production of patient-specific implants and surgical solutions, or through the work our regenerative medicine team is doing, 3D Systems is making a profound impact not only on how healthcare is delivered, but on the quality of patients’ lives, and continues to solidify what I believe is an unparalleled role we play in advancing medicine with additive manufacturing applications. This latest accomplishment by TISSIUM, enabled by our unique 3D printing technology, is one more example of how 3D Systems is transforming patient care for a better future.”

    According to Markets and Markets1, the global 3D bioprinting market was valued at $1.3 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach $2.4 billion in 2029. Nearly 40 years ago, 3D Systems created the innovation of 3D printing and reimagined the approaches and processes for product development, parts manufacturing, and personalized healthcare through additive manufacturing solutions. The Company’s additive manufacturing solutions are transforming how healthcare is delivered. As a pioneer in personalized healthcare solutions, 3D Systems has worked with surgeons for over a decade to plan more than 150,000 patient-specific cases and additively manufacture more than two million implants and instruments for 100+ CE-marked and FDA-cleared devices from its world-class, FDA-registered, ISO 13485-certified facilities in Littleton, Colorado, and Leuven, Belgium. 3D Systems is leveraging this experience to innovate bioprinting technologies to transform patient care. By enabling the fabrication of living tissues, the Company believes its bioprinting technology will unlock the promise and potential — to develop new therapeutics, and to improve patient lives.

    Throughout SMEX25’s week-long field exercises, the DROPS system, integrated with Draganfly’s Commander 3XL, achieved a 100% success rate in autonomously deploying, recovering, and recharging TB2’s tactical resupply pods. The event provided an opportunity to validate real-world operational performance in austere and high-demand scenarios, drawing praise from defence evaluators and technology observers alike.

    “The successful deployment of DROPS at SMEX25 underscores our commitment to advancing autonomous logistics solutions,” said Hank Scott, CEO of TB2 Aerospace. “Our system’s performance in a live operational environment validates its potential to revolutionize military tactical resupply and contested logistics.”

    Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI), a leader in AI-powered security solutions, is honored to recently be featured in a recent investigative piece by Grist Magazine, titled “How 3 Years of War Have Ravaged Ukraine’s Forests, and the People Who Depend on Them.”

    Safe Pro AI is helping lead a critical technological response to one of the war’s deadliest and most enduring legacies: land mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO). Utilizing AI and drone-based remote sensing, Safe Pro is working alongside humanitarian organizations and government partners to rapidly detect, map, and facilitate the safer and more efficient removal of UXO. This technology can be especially valuable in areas where land mines have triggered catastrophic wildfires, endangering both people and the environment. According to a report published by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, Ukraine has experienced profound socio-economic disruption due to the conflict’s impact on key sectors including timber production with losses amounting to approximately €447.73 million. The primary damages involve the destruction of infrastructure, equipment, and substantial harm to protected natural areas, estimated at over €2.3 billion. Restoring this potential will require considerable effort and resources.

    Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY) recently announced that its Black Hornet® 4 Personal Reconnaissance System has successfully completed the required NDAA and cyber security verification process and been approved for the Blue UAS List with an Authority to Operate.

    Led by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), Blue UAS vets and verifies commercial drone technology for the Department of Defense and U.S. government. The Blue UAS List gives users access to a wide range of drone systems that can meet their diverse needs. In February, Teledyne FLIR announced that Black Hornet 4 was selected by DoD operators from among more than 35 uncrewed aerial system (UAS) products, all rigorously tested during DIU’s ‘Blue UAS Refresh’ event.

    “We are honored to see Black Hornet 4 added to the Blue UAS List, knowing that more operators across our military and federal government will be able to benefit from this one-of-a-kind drone and its distinct capabilities,” said Dr. JihFen Lei, president of Teledyne FLIR Defense. “DIU is filling a critical national need in meeting mission requirements by executing a more expansive Blue UAS program, and we have valued our partnership with them throughout the verification process.”

    AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS), a leading provider of advanced drone and aerial imaging solutions, recently announced the sale of two additional eBee X drones to South Korea, expanding the country’s installed base of AgEagle’s eBee drones to more than 100 units. This milestone strengthens AgEagle’s strategic partnership with South Korea and reinforces its position as a leader in the Asia-Pacific drone market.

    The eBee X, AgEagle’s flagship fixed-wing mapping drone, is engineered for high-precision geospatial data collection and is ideally suited for applications including surveying, mapping, and photogrammetry. This latest sale builds on a well-established fleet, further strengthening AgEagle’s reputation as a trusted provider of cutting-edge unmanned aerial systems.

  • MIL-OSI: Syncfusion® Drives AI-Powered Automation in Its Customer Support Platform, BoldDesk®

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Syncfusion®, Inc., the enterprise technology provider of choice, today announced significant updates to BoldDesk®, its customer service and help desk ticketing platform. This release includes new, AI-driven automation features that shorten response time, reduce manual work, and give developers greater control over customer-support data.

    BoldDesk began as an in-house project built by our own engineers to organize the daily support queue, and that personal experience shapes every iteration,” said Daniel Jebaraj, CEO of Syncfusion. “The latest enhancements focus on harnessing AI to do the busywork, while preserving the transparency, governance, and open-API flexibility support teams expect.”

    These enhancements advance the BoldDesk Team’s goal to leverage AI for everyday support tasks and streamline agent workflows without adding complexity. The release centers on three themes: action-oriented AI; frictionless ticketing; and unified, omnichannel data. New features include:

    • AI actions execute tasks for you: Copilot can cancel orders, update licenses, and call external APIs directly from a ticket or chat.
    • AI-suggested replies in notifications: The AI can insert a context-aware suggestion into the automatic email sent to customers when they submit a ticket.
    • Live chat speeds up conversations: AI-written summaries and subject lines and service-level agreement (SLA) timers help agents close chats faster.
    • Drag-and-drop ticket forms: Group fields, preview attachments, and share links so agents reach the correct info faster.
    • No-code workflows gain safeguards: New business-hour conditions and execution logs improve workflows. A new draft mode lets admins test automations before launch.
    • Deeper integrations: Two-way Salesforce sync, new voice apps, and ticket automerging bring omnichannel context into a single view.
    • Usage dashboards and new languages: AI-specific analytics, persistent layouts, and six additional UI languages show ROI and support global teams.

    In addition to these updates, BoldDesk continues to deliver its signature value: unlimited agents for a single flat fee, ticket resolutions up to three times faster than siloed inboxes, and a centralized workspace that scales with growing teams. BoldDesk customers can enable these new features today from the platform’s admin center. For more information, visit bolddesk.com.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CHANDLER, Ariz., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Traditional space applications have long required space-grade components to help ensure the success of missions. With over 60 years of space heritage, Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) continues to broaden its space portfolio and today announces the SA15-28 off-the-shelf radiation-hardened DC-DC 15W power converter with a companion SF100-28 EMI filter that are designed to meet MIL-STD-461 specifications. This space-grade power device is a standard, non-hybrid DC-DC isolated power converter with a companion electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter that operates from a 28V satellite bus in harsh environments.

    The SA15-28 is available with 5V triple outputs that are optimal for use with point-of-load converters and low-dropout linear regulators to power FPGAs and microprocessors (MPUs). The small-form-factor SA15-28 weighs 60 grams and is approximately 1.68 cu inch to optimize the Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) of the device. Microchip can customize the output voltage combinations upon request.

    “Microchip’s space-grade portfolio with the new SA15-28 power converter and SF100-28 EMI filter allows our customers to customize and scale their space power systems to meet the specifications of their application,” said Leon Gross, corporate vice president of Microchip’s high-reliability and RF business unit. “The non-hybrid or discrete component-based construction is specifically designed to enable flexibility and faster time to market.”

    The SF100-28 EMI noise suppression filter can be used with numerous power converters with a total output power of up to 100W. For added flexibility in space applications, the SA15-28 and SF100-28 are fully compatible with Microchip’s existing SA50 series of power converters and SF200 filter.

    High reliability and performance are critical for power management solutions operating in harsh environments. The SA15-28 DC-DC power converter is designed to operate across a wide temperature range, from −55°C to +125°C, and offers radiation tolerance up to 100 krad TID.

    By offering proven off-the-shelf devices, Microchip enables customers to confidently scale their designs and reduce manufacturing delays. This scalable approach enables customers to upgrade from Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) to space-qualified level or from Radiation-Hardened By Design (RHBD) to sub-QML packaging options in ceramic or plastic.

  • MIL-OSI: American Rebel Light Beer Sees Explosive E-Commerce Growth as Free Shipping Promo Drives Patriotic Sales Surge Ahead of July 4th

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Online Orders Soar as American Rebel Beer Ships to Over 40 States; Free Shipping Available Through June 30

    NASHVILLE, TN, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) (“American Rebel” or the “Company”), creator of American Rebel Beer (americanrebelbeer.com) and a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of branded safes, personal security and self-defense products and apparel, proudly reports explosive online sales growth fueled by enhanced digital marketing, optimized checkout performance, and a limited-time Free Shipping offer celebrating the Fourth of July and the 250th Birthday of the U.S. Army.

    American Rebel Light Beer launched its online direct to consumer option earlier this year through shop.americanrebelbeer.com, that expanded availability to over 40 U.S. states, giving patriotic Americans nationwide the opportunity to enjoy what the company calls “America’s Patriotic, God-Fearing, Constitution-Loving, National Anthem-Singing, Stand Your Ground Beer.”

    Patriotic Reach, Real Results: 22.9 Million Digital Impressions Drive Explosive Growth at AmericanRebelBeer.com

    In late May, American Rebel implemented major improvements to the online checkout process after onboarding e-commerce experts to map the user experience and identify where sales were stalling. That analysis led to the introduction of Flat Rate Shipping, which sparked an immediate lift in order volume. Encouraged by this success, and in celebration of Independence Day, the company launched a Free Shipping offer through June 30, 2025 – driving massive engagement and accelerating repeat orders.

    During this campaign period American Rebel generated a combined 22.9 million digital impressions across Facebook, Google, and Taboola – demonstrating exceptional consumer engagement and marketing reach across top-tier platforms. This digital expansion is translating into powerful, measurable business outcomes at americanrebelbeer.com

    Key highlights from the most recent performance period include:

    The ex-date (or ex-dividend date) for an ETF is the critical trading day on which investors who purchase shares will no longer be entitled to receive the forthcoming dividend distribution, marking the cutoff point that determines dividend eligibility for shareholders.

    The record date for an ETF is the specific day, typically one business day after the ex-dividend date, when the fund company takes a snapshot of its shareholder registry to determine which investors are officially entitled to receive the upcoming dividend distribution.

    The payable date for an ETF is the specific calendar day when the fund administrator actually distributes the declared dividend payments to all eligible shareholders who owned shares on the record date, completing the dividend distribution process.

    Distribution per share for an ETF is the precise monetary amount paid out to investors for each share they own, representing income from dividends, interest, capital gains or return of capital collected by the fund and subsequently distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.

    The distribution rate for an ETF is a critical performance metric that expresses the annualized percentage return derived from all distributions (including dividends, interest, and capital gains) paid to shareholders over a specified period relative to the fund’s current market price, providing investors with a standardized measure to evaluate income-generating potential across different investment vehicles.

    Return of Capital (ROC). The ROC percentage indicates how much the distribution reflects an investor’s initial investment. The figures shown for each Fund in the table above are estimates based on the latest 19a1 forms and may later be determined to be taxable net investment income, short-term gains, long-term gains (to the extent permitted by law), or return of capital. Actual amounts and sources for tax reporting will depend upon the Fund’s investment activities during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Your broker will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year to tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

    An options contract is a standardized financial agreement that grants the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset, such as a stock, at a predetermined price (known as the strike price) on or before a defined expiration date, enabling investors to hedge risk, generate income or express directional views on market movements.

    A put option is a standardized financial contract that grants the holder the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset, such as a stock, at a predetermined price (known as the strike price) on or before a defined expiration date, typically used to hedge against potential declines in asset value or to express a bearish market outlook.

    Launched in 2023, NASA’s Psyche Mission has demonstrated deep space laser communications across 19 million miles of space, validating the efficacy of tight-beaming technologies over vast distances. Bench-testing conducted by NASA MSFC in 2024 demonstrated receiving beamed power using Ascent’s commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products as a preceding validation of the technology prior to the CAN award.

    The CAN is evaluating the ability of Ascent’s CIGS PV modules to generate power while illuminated by energy-dense beams of light, with goals to convert more usable power from the equivalent of tens of Earth’s Sun. The ability to remotely receive 10x more power on-demand while using the same PV cells tasked with collecting sunlight can significantly reduce solar array mass and volume required to meet mission power needs. In practice, this suggests that beamed-power architectures can lead to reductions of both spacecraft mass and volume budgets. These size efficiencies will result in agency payloads proportionally increasing relative to the spacecraft as a whole, thus allowing the prioritization of more technology, science and exploration within limited mission budgets.

    Planetary missions require advanced surface mobility logistics and depend on power generation subsystems that comprise a substantial proportion of the landed downmass. It is here where Ascent technology poses a potential solution for reducing spacecraft power system mass and volume needs, creating a significant impact on the overall mission.

    The CAN’s goals include increasing the array power output while lengthening the operational duty cycles to verify that improvements to this emerging technology can help enable NASA to effectively and efficiently achieve the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) missions, Artemis campaign to the Moon, and planetary science objectives. This includes enabling surviving the lunar night as well as powering remote access to areas of scientific interest such as cold traps and permanently shadowed regions on the Moon (PSRs) where water, the potential key to lunar in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), is believed to be located in high concentrations. Ultimately, this could lead to an order of magnitude reduction in the downmass required to access expensive space exploration and science mission destinations. The going rate for robotic landers on the Moon is between 6 & 7-figures per kilogram delivered to the lunar surface, equating to upwards of tens of millions of potential savings per lander mission.

    “This collaboration with NASA further bolsters our longstanding belief that the unique capabilities of thin-film solar technology will play an integral role in overcoming the challenges of reliably converting solar energy and also receive beamed power in a breadth of harsh space environments,” said Paul Warley, CEO of Ascent Solar Technologies. “Through our work together, we plan to bring an even more capable product line to market that will reduce mission costs and complexities while improving PV efficiency, making our technology a crucial piece of future space missions.”

    This cross-NASA-center teaming is demonstrative of rallying together with commercial partners to achieve the agency’s broader Lunar program goals. Beamed power stands to allow NASA program dollars to accomplish more at a fraction of the cost. With 55 countries having signed the Artemis Accords since 2020, the establishment of critical Lunar infrastructure with less resources required facilitates achieving more together with international partners.
