  • MIL-OSI: Infomaniak democratises email encryption for all its users, free of charge

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Following the launch of my kSuite, its free package designed to offer a sovereign email service and online workspace, the Swiss cloud provider Infomaniak has taken another step forward: email encryption is now available to all its users. This protection can be activated with a single click at the time of sending and works with any email provider, enabling sensitive data sent (research and development, health, finance, etc.) to be protected in full compliance with the FADP and the GDRP – all without technical complexity.

    Email encryption for everyone: simple, secure, 100% Swiss

    As of today, Infomaniak’s 3 million users can send encrypted emails via the Infomaniak Mail web interface. This additional security is available free of charge to all users, including 100% free my kSuite accounts. These offer a 20 GB email address, 15 GB for documents and photos and an online office suite compatible with Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

    “We have developed this additional security to meet the growing data protection requirements in sensitive sectors such as research, healthcare, finance and law. ” explains Marc Oehler, CEO of Infomaniak.

    Thanks to this new feature, professionals can now share sensitive data such as pay slips, medical documents or banking information in full compliance with Swiss and European data protection requirements.

    Robust encryption without complexity

    Infomaniak has developed an encryption system based on recognised standards (OpenPGP, ECC, AES-256-GCM), with a sovereign architecture hosted entirely in Switzerland. Encryption is activated in a single click when writing an email.

    1. The user writes their message as usual via the Infomaniak Mail web interface (https://ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail). If they wish, they can activate encryption with a single click before sending.
    2. The message is first transmitted via a secure HTTPS connection to the Infomaniak servers. At this stage, it is not yet encrypted, but it is already protected against interception.
    3. Once received, the content of the message is automatically encrypted by Infomaniak’s servers before being sent, including attachments up to 25 MB. The encrypted message is then sent via SMTP and stored encrypted on the mail servers.
    4. For Infomaniak recipients, everything is automatic: once logged in to their account, the user can read the message. The server automatically decrypts the content with a passphrase unique to each mailbox. For external recipients, a password is defined by the sender and sent separately to the recipient, who will be able to read the message via Infomaniak’s secure email interface without needing to have an account.

    Unlike end-to-end encryption systems that can lead to loss of access to data, Infomaniak strikes the right balance between robust security and continuity of access. Private keys never leave Infomaniak’s infrastructure. Passphrases that protect keys are never stored in clear text and are only decoded on the fly during an authenticated session. In the event of an unauthorised access attempt, even with the IMAP password of a compromised email address, the content of the encrypted messages remains protected by the two-factor authentication of the Infomaniak account.        

    A thriving ecosystem

    Infomaniak’s messaging service continues to evolve with the introduction of features that simplify everyday life, such as emoji reactions for responding to emails in a single gesture and a sovereign AI assistant for writing, correcting or rephrasing messages fluently, while fully respecting confidentiality.

    As far as kSuite – Infomaniak’s sovereign collaborative suite – is concerned, progress is just as ambitious. Contextual sovereign AI (RAG type) has recently made it possible to translate, summarise and query documents in kDrive. Already in the test phase, the next step will make it possible to query all files in a folder with the aim of extending this capability to all documents belonging to a user, thus facilitating instant access to information.

    To facilitate the migration of companies from Microsoft 365, kDrive Pro and kSuite Entreprise now include Microsoft Online – hosted exclusively in Infomaniak’s sovereign infrastructures. This allows teams to continue to collaborate online on Office documents using advanced features in Excel, Word or PowerPoint, while maintaining full control of their data in the heart of Europe.

    In the coming months, email encryption will be available on the Infomaniak Mail mobile app. Two important developments are also in the pipeline: the ability to reply to an encrypted email sent to an external provider such as Gmail or Outlook directly from Infomaniak’s secure reading interface, and PGP compatibility with other encrypted email services.

  • MIL-OSI: Button Unveils “Creator Media,” Empowering the Creator Economy with Retail Media Alongside Leading Creator Companies at Cannes Lions, Following Major New Funding by PSG

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Button, the creator commerce and retail media platform, today announced its newest innovation, “Creator Media,” in a groundbreaking partnership with leading creator companies. The new solution was officially unveiled today at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, where one year ago, Button introduced its innovative Retail Media Inventory Solution in partnership with industry giants. Today marks the exciting expansion of that product. Button has extended the same infrastructure beyond retailers and publishers, now to creators and networks, connecting the dots between content, commerce, and conversion.

    This announcement follows a strategic growth investment from PSG, a leading growth equity firm that specializes in partnering with software and technology-enabled services companies to capitalize on transformational growth.

    Button’s announcement of Creator Media capitalizes on the explosive growth of both the creator economy, currently estimated at over $250 billion, and the rapidly expanding retail media sector, which is expected to surpass $180 billion in market size in 2025. These advancements have been driven by brands increasingly prioritizing reaching users and seeking to find high-intent offsite partners that will re-engage users and drive brand sales.

    Creator Media, powered by Button and in partnership with a collection of industry leading creator companies, seamlessly integrates retail media strategies into creator content – enabling brands, sellers, and the manufacturers of products to connect performance budgets to creators.

    Creator Media and the interest surrounding this launch validate that the largest trends of the year are combining. This convergence is fostering a tidal wave of change and opportunity, bigger than what the advertising industry has seen since the advent in mobile.

    By enabling creator networks and their creators to have unprecedented opportunities to monetize their influence by driving measurable sales of brands, sellers, and manufacturers’ products, a new opportunity for growth is emerging for creators. In the same way, brands gain access to authentic and engaging content from trusted voices, enhancing their exposure in performant and transparent ways that were previously hard to scale.

    “The launch of Creator Media marks a pivotal moment in recognizing the immense value creators bring to the commerce landscape,” said Michael Jaconi, Co-Founder and CEO of Button. “By introducing this capability, we’re betting on our role as an underpinning of this economy – one built to help creator networks, creator agencies, and their retail partners unveil new ways to create more value together. We see ourselves as the infrastructure of the creator economy, and every day, we’re inventing solutions that give our creator platform partners and our retail partners more ways to grow.”

    Evan Wray, President at Later, shared, “Button is always pushing the envelope on innovation and testing of new concepts in the market. The combination of brand and seller budgets alongside creators’ high intent traffic is a recipe for success that Later and Mavely is excited to be building upon.”

    Sam Else, Senior Director of Business Development at Linktree, shared, “After integrating Button into our Linktree Shops program, the conversion rate on product purchases increased, enabling creators on our platform to make more money.”

    What is Creator Media?

    Button’s newest feature leveraging the Button infrastructure, enabling retail media inventory and retail media powered links from these 3 marketer types to be seamlessly enabled in Creators’ campaign creation processes.

    How it works for users?

    While users are shopping, they’ll either see new content on creator pages through sponsored content widgets or through landing pages that populate along their shopping journeys. These experiences provide access to products that complement their current shopping experience.

    How it works for Creators?

    As creators create content, they’ll be prompted with specific Creator Media campaigns that are relevant to the content they’ve created in the past or that they’re in the process of creating. At the tap of a Button, they’ll be able to activate these campaigns.

    How it works for Marketers?

    Today’s program is a closed beta, and companies that partner with Underscore, The Shelf, Mavely, and Linktree are the only companies with access today. If you’d like to participate, please reach out to marketing@usebutton.com.

  • MIL-OSI: Telstra and Nokia partner to unlock network APIs for developers and enterprises

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Press release
    Telstra and Nokia partner to unlock network APIs for developers and enterprises

    • Telstra’s muru-D Labs, a hub for incubating ideas, products, and technologies, will make network APIs available in a lab environment on Nokia’s Network as Code platform with developer portal.
    • The collaboration targets industry use cases for enterprises that leverage CAMARA and GSMA Open Gateway APIs.

    17 June 2025
    Espoo, Finland – Telstra, Australia’s leading telecommunications company, and Nokia today announced a new collaboration that will give developers secure access to network APIs to help build smarter applications and integrate them into advanced new use cases for enterprises and industries.

    Under the agreement, Telstra’s muru-D Labs will provide access to a select mix of live and simulated network APIs on Nokia’s Network as Code platform with developer portal, designed to make it easier for developers to build, test, and deploy new applications that securely tap into Telstra’s advanced network capabilities.

    The collaboration will focus on real-world use cases across industries, such as managing network traffic during large events, improving network observability, and prioritising critical services. The partnership will also explore Fixed Network use cases, having the developer platform consume API’s from Nokia’s service orchestration software already deployed in Telstra.

    Kim Krogh Andersen, Group Executive Product & Technology at Telstra, said the new collaboration reflects the company’s recently announced Connected Future 30 strategy and focus on delivering increasingly sophisticated and flexible connectivity capabilities to meet evolving customer needs. Core to this strategy is ‘Network as a Product,’ which aims to reinvent how Telstra creates and captures value from its networks by productising sophisticated network capabilities and opening up new business models.

    “We’re radically innovating at the core of our business and pushing the boundaries of our network leadership, so that our customers can get the connectivity they need in a changing environment. This new collaboration with Nokia is another way we are testing and learning how the power of the network can unlock new value in the tech ecosystem.”

    “By giving access to advanced capabilities through our network APIs, we’re enabling developers to create smarter, more responsive applications for enterprises. This is about working with our partner ecosystem to demonstrate how developers can securely interact with Telstra’s network and innovate at scale,” Andersen said.

    The initiative will include a local hackathon later this year, giving developers access to a selection of live network APIs and a sandbox environment to experiment with new ideas. This new collaboration builds on Telstra and Nokia’s long-standing partnership and supports Telstra’s Network as a Product vision of a software-defined, programmable network.

    Nokia’s network automation and Digital Operations solutions are laying the foundation for scalable API enablement by making it easier for partners, like Telstra, to offer developers on-demand access to programmable network capabilities with consistency and speed.

    “Our collaboration will deepen Telstra’s network integration into developer ecosystems and provide developers with greater choice, flexibility, and security in creating new applications,” said Shkumbin Hamiti, Vice-President and Head of Nokia’s Network Monetization Platform, Cloud and Network Services at Nokia. “As more developers explore network APIs, their feedback will shape the next generation of services, and we are excited to work alongside Telstra to drive this.”

    Nokia’s network API strategy centers around connecting multiple API ecosystems through its Network as Code platform. It offers operators the broadest range of network enablement options with robust multi-tier API security and provides developers simplified access to network functionalities.

    Nokia’s ecosystem of Network as Code platform partners has grown to over 50 and includes operators from around the world, as well hyperscalers, Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) platform providers, systems integrators, and vertical independent software vendors.

    Through the partnership, Bitget Academy, the educational arm of Bitget, will help develop UNICEF’s first interactive, online and in-person blockchain training module based on video games creation skills development for teachers and young people. This is a welcome inclusion to a curriculum already reaching hundreds of thousands of people. Support from Bitget will also help expand the Coalition’s reach to a ninth country.

    “This partnership reflects our shared belief that digital skills are a powerful driver of opportunity and inclusion,” said Sandra Visscher, Executive Director of UNICEF Luxembourg. “By collaborating with Bitget, we want to provide adolescents and young people with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to shape their own futures. Innovation should be a force for inclusion, opening doors, broadening horizons, and ensuring that technology works for everyone, everywhere.”

    In a move to extend the ecosystem’s reach, Bitget will also aim to introduce UNICEF to leading blockchain protocols and developers from across the Web3 landscape to participate in the educational initiative. These contributors could serve as mentors and partners, offering diverse perspectives and possibilities for blockchain technologies.

    “Emerging technologies should not be reserved for the privileged few—they must be introduced early and equitably. Blockchain, with its real-world use case and potential for social good, is one of the most powerful tools we can give to our younger generation to build products that change the way we look at modern society. With Blockchain4Her, what began as a mission to empower hundreds of women has scaled into a global movement to educate thousands of girls. This is the kind of scale and impact blockchain was built for,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

    Every year, adolescent girls and young women in low and middle-income countries miss out on USD 15 billion in economic opportunities due to a gap in internet access and digital skills relative to their male peers. With 90 per cent of jobs today requiring digital competencies, the Game Changers Coalition responds to the urgency of closing the gender digital skills gap.

    Together, Bitget and UNICEF are working to build a scalable, inclusive model that equips young women with the tools to navigate and shape the digital economy of tomorrow.

    As part of the Game Changers Coalition, Bitget joins the Global Video Game Coalition, Micron Foundation and ecosystem builders – Women in Games in a shared ambition to reach 1.1 million girls by 2027, with learning and skills-building opportunities.

    With the help of Bitget Academy, and support from the $10M initiative Blockchain4Her, Bitget plans to enhance digital literacy and financial independence among women taught to them at a young age.

    Bitget’s Blockchain4Her initiative has previously supported women through mentorship programs, funding opportunities, and educational resources.

    Together, Bitget and UNICEF Luxembourg aim to empower a new generation of girls with the knowledge and skills they need to participate actively in the evolving crypto economy.

  • MIL-OSI: LHV Group results for May 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    May for LHV was characterised by the rapid growth of the loan portfolio. Profitability was impacted by the ongoing decline in interest rates and the partial reversal of previous impairments. LHV Group’s consolidated loan portfolio grew by EUR 104 million in May. At the same time, the total volume of deposits decreased by EUR 34 million. The volume of funds managed by LHV decreased by EUR 11 million over the month. In May, 6.7 million payments related to financial intermediaries were made.

    In May, AS LHV Group earned EUR 10.3 million in consolidated net profit. Among the subsidiaries, AS LHV Pank earned a net profit of EUR 10.5 million, LHV Bank Ltd earned a net profit of EUR 28 thousand, AS LHV Kindlustus earned a net profit of EUR 339 thousand, and AS LHV Varahaldus earned a net profit of EUR 297 thousand. The return on equity attributable to the shareholders was 17.3% in May.

    The number of LHV Pank customers grew by 2,800 in May, exceeding the 470,000 mark. Loan growth was strong at EUR 83 million, of which EUR 51 million came from corporate loans and EUR 32 million from private loans. The overall quality of the loan porftolio remains good and a solution was found for one of the two largest non-performing loans, which led to a reduction in previously recognised provisions. The strong month was also reflected in deposits, as corporate banking deposits decreased by less than expected against the backdrop of an increase of EUR 88 million in retail banking deposits. The decline in interest rates is reducing the bank’s net interest income, as deposit interest rates are falling more slowly than loan interest rates.

    LHV Bank, which operates in the United Kingdom, launched the initial version of its retail customer offer in May, that allows customers to use the bank app, open an account, make payments, order a bank card, and securely deposit money. The presentation of the offer and the marketing campaign were started, the costs of which also affected the company’s monthly profit. Work will continue on the following products to further develop the offer. The Bank’s loan portfolio grew by EUR 21 million in May.

    The stable revenue growth of LHV Kindlustus also continued in May. New insurance contracts were concluded for an amount of EUR 3.15 million. As at the end of May, there are 274,000 valid insurance contracts. Performance improved due to a successful motor own damage insurance campaign. Compensation for loss events amounted to EUR 2.2 million and 12,500 new claims were registered in May. The profitability of Kindlustus has been improved by a very good loss ratio.

    Since May was a strong month in the financial markets, the pension funds of LHV continued to grow value for their customers. The larger funds managed by the LHV Varahaldus, L and XL, increased by 1.2% and 2.3%, respectively, over the month. LHV Pensionifond Indeks increased by 5.6% over the month. The net profit of LHV Varahaldus exceeds the financial plan, while the volume of funds and the number of customers are slightly below the planned level. In May, LHV Varahaldus announced a plan to change the names of pension funds to make them clearer for customers and to merge the green pension funds with other funds.

    Since LHV Group issued AT1 bonds worth EUR 50 million in April, EUR 15 million worth of AT1 bonds were called back in May. As a result of the share option program, the share capital of LHV Group was increased by EUR 366,721.30. Share acquisition transactions were also initiated in accordance with the resolution of the shareholders’ general meeting held in March. The financial plan stands.

    The reports of AS LHV Group are available on the website at: https://investor.lhv.ee/en/reports.

    LHV Group is the largest domestic financial group and capital provider in Estonia. LHV Group’s key subsidiaries are LHV Pank, LHV Varahaldus, LHV Kindlustus, and LHV Bank Limited. The Group employs over 1,150 people. As at the end of May, LHV’s banking services are being used by 471,000 customers, the pension funds managed by LHV have 111,000 active customers, and LHV Kindlustus protects a total of 176,000 customers. LHV Bank offers retail banking services to private customers in the United Kingdom, loans to small and medium-sized enterprises, and banking services to international fintech companies.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitget Wallet Launches LINE NEXT’s Mini Dapp Ecosystem Month with TGE Viral Campaign

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget Wallet, one of the world’s largest self-custodial crypto wallets, has launched LINE NEXT’s Mini Dapp Ecosystem Month in collaboration with LINE NEXT and its Kaia blockchain. This strategic initiative integrates tokenized assets into messaging superapps, offering users access to Web3 games through seamless, gas-free interactions.

    LINE NEXT’s Mini Dapp Ecosystem Month begins June 16, featuring a $500,000 prize pool and participation from leading Kaia-based games including Bombie, Fate War, TOFU Story, StarAI, and DarkStar. New games and missions will rotate every two weeks, all delivered gas-free and integrated into Bitget Wallet.

    The campaign also features Bombie, a social mini-game developed by the team behind Catizen. With over 12 million users across LINE’s Mini Dapp and Telegram, Bombie is the highest-earning title on LINE’s Mini Dapp platform and the first to debut its own token. Bitget Wallet exclusively supports the token generation event (TGE), enabling users to claim $BOMB tokens directly in-app with zero gas fees and a 100% bonus for early participants. The launch sets a precedent for self-custodial wallets supporting token distribution within mainstream app environments.

    An additional key component of the initiative is the TGE Viral campaign, which features Fate War, LARVA Survival, and Slime Miner. Hosted through a dedicated Mini Dapp campaign page powered by Bitget Wallet, the campaign provides token-related missions, exclusive item discounts, and bonus rewards. It is designed to drive engagement by lowering the barrier to entry and providing developers scalable community activation tools.

    By embedding token generation, rewards, and transactions into the app environment, Bitget Wallet and LINE NEXT are advancing a model for consumer-grade blockchain adoption.

    “Web3 needs to meet users where they already are,” said Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet. “By embedding self-custody and rewards into LINE, we’re removing friction and setting a model for how wallets and superapps can scale the next wave of digital interaction.”

  • MIL-OSI: LeddarTech Announces Intention to File under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act in Canada

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    QUEBEC CITY, Canada, June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LeddarTech® Holdings Inc. (“LeddarTech” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LDTC), an AI-powered software company recognized for its innovation in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD), today announces that, further to its press release dated June 11, 2025, it intends on making an assignment into bankruptcy pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the “BIA”).

    After careful consideration of all available alternatives, including undertaking a strategic review which was unsuccessful in identifying a suitable acquirer or commercial partner or raising sufficient capital, as well as further to the Company having received a notice of default under its bridge financing offer entered into with certain bridge lenders, the board of directors of the Company has determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its stakeholders to make an assignment into bankruptcy under the BIA as soon as reasonably practicable. The Company expects that Raymond Chabot Inc., a licensed insolvency trustee, will be appointed as the trustee under the BIA proceedings.

    In connection with the BIA proceedings, each member of the board of directors of the Company will resign effective upon the assignment under the BIA.

    As was disclosed in its June 11, 2025 press release, the Company does not expect to resume active operations and cautions investors that there is significant risk that holders of our securities will receive little to no value under the BIA proceedings.

    Further announcements regarding the status of the Company’s BIA proceedings will be made as developments warrant. Additional information with respect to the BIA proceedings will be available in due course on Raymond Chabot Inc.’s website.

    The Company expects that its common shares and warrants trading on the Nasdaq will be halted as a result of the BIA proceedings. The Company anticipates that it will ultimately be delisted from the Nasdaq.

  • MIL-OSI: Next Phase Advisors Announces Launch of Safe Bucket Blueprint™ to Help Retirees Create Reliable Income Amid Market Uncertainty

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    HUNTSVILLE, AL, June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Next Phase Advisors, a Huntsville-based retirement planning firm led by founder and retirement income specialist Jeremiah Nolen, announced the official launch of its flagship retirement income planning framework, the Safe Bucket Blueprint™. Designed specifically for today’s retirement landscape, the blueprint provides a structured approach to turning savings into a reliable income stream, offering peace of mind for retirees and pre-retirees navigating volatile markets.

    Jeremiah Nolen, CRPC®, NSSA® and Retirement Income Specialist, helps pre-retirees and retirees
    turn     savings into sustainable income through his Safe Bucket blueprint.

    With fewer Americans receiving traditional pensions and rising concerns about outliving retirement savings, the Safe Bucket Blueprint™ arrives at a critical time. This innovative approach helps clients transition from saving to spending by establishing personalized, protected income streams that support essential expenses, while allowing other assets to continue growing.

    “Retirement planning today is no longer just about how much you’ve saved. It’s about how you’ll convert that savings into a sustainable income stream,” said Nolen. “Too many people approach retirement like day traders, when what they truly need is consistent, long-term income planning.”

    A Modern Income Planning Solution

    Unlike traditional retirement strategies focused solely on accumulation, the Safe Bucket Blueprint™ shifts focus to the decumulation phase on how retirees withdraw and use their savings over a 20- to 30-year period. The blueprint uses a multi-bucket strategy that segments assets into:

    • Protected Income Bucket – covering non-negotiable living expenses with sources such as annuities or guaranteed instruments;
    • Flexible Access Bucket – for medium-term needs and unexpected expenses;
    • Growth Bucket – designed for discretionary spending, market participation, and legacy planning.

    This framework is customizable, not product-specific, and is used by Nolen and his advisory team to create income plans tailored to each client’s lifestyle and goals.

    Thinking Like a Pension Manager

    At the core of the Safe Bucket Blueprint™ is a philosophy borrowed from institutional pension planning: match future liabilities with reliable income. Nolen encourages retirees to think more like pension managers, who focus on sustainable payouts, rather than day traders who chase short-term gains.

    “Market timing is a risky game in retirement,” Nolen emphasized. “What retirees need is dependable income they can count on, regardless of market swings. Our blueprint ensures essential needs are covered, freeing clients to invest the rest with intention, not fear.”

    Responding to Industry Demand

    Industry research highlights the need for structured income planning:

    • A 2023 Transamerica study found 57% of pre-retirees lack a formal income plan.
    • The Employee Benefit Research Institute reported that only one-third of retirees receive guaranteed income beyond Social Security.
    • According to Allianz Life, the top fear among retirees remains outliving their savings.

    These statistics underscore the importance of tools like the Safe Bucket Blueprint™, especially for those approaching retirement without a clear income strategy.

    Who Should Consider the Blueprint

    Nolen recommends the Safe Bucket Blueprint™ for individuals within five to ten years of retirement, especially those:

    • Concerned about market volatility and income predictability;
    • Transitioning from 401(k) or IRA accumulation into distribution;
    • Without access to a pension or other guaranteed income source.

    “This is not just a new product—it’s a new way of thinking about retirement,” Nolen added. “The earlier you begin planning your income strategy, the more options and flexibility you’ll have to retire confidently.”

    Complimentary Strategy Sessions Available

    To mark the launch, Next Phase Advisors is offering complimentary strategy sessions to help retirees and pre-retirees explore how the Safe Bucket Blueprint™ can be customized to their needs. These sessions include a personalized income map and insights into potential gaps or inefficiencies in their current retirement plan.

  • MIL-OSI: Interest Rates Expected to Drop, Real Estate Market Poised for 10% Growth, Says Maxim Lending CEO

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Los Angeles, CA, June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a bold but confident prediction, Brian Jahabin, CEO of Maxim Lending, says the real estate market is primed for a significant comeback — and it all starts with falling interest rates.

    “We’re going to see rates come down in the next few months. The signs are already there,” Jahabin said in a recent interview. “Inflation has cooled considerably, the Fed is shifting its stance, and the broader economic indicators are lining up. It’s only a matter of time before the market responds.”

    According to Jahabin, the anticipated drop in rates will unlock a wave of pent-up demand in the housing sector. “Buyers have been on the sidelines, waiting. Once rates fall — even by half a point — that’s going to light the match,” he explained. “People who were priced out last year will suddenly be back in the game.”

    The impact? Jahabin believes home prices could rise by as much as 10% by the end of 2025.

    “That number might sound aggressive, but when you look at the supply and demand equation, it’s actually quite realistic,” he said. “Inventory is still incredibly tight. We’re not building fast enough to meet demand, and with a fresh wave of buyers coming in, it’s simple economics — prices will rise.”

    Jahabin points to several key factors driving this trend: improving affordability, strong generational demand, and continued migration to high-growth cities.

    “We’re seeing a huge push from younger buyers — millennials and even Gen Z — who are entering peak homebuying years,” he said. “Markets like Dallas, Austin, Nashville, and Charlotte are already heating up again. These are places where people want to live, and where the market will move quickly once rates ease.”

    He also urged both buyers and sellers to get prepared now.

    “For buyers, this is the moment to get your financials in order, get pre-approved, and be ready to act fast. You don’t want to be scrambling once the competition ramps up,” Jahabin advised. “For sellers, this could be the most opportune window in years. If you’ve been waiting to list — this is your green light.”

    Despite some recent volatility, Jahabin remains optimistic. “We’ve weathered the storm. What’s ahead is a more stable, more active market — and that’s great news for homeowners, buyers, and the industry as a whole.”

    His final message? Stay informed and stay ready. “The real estate rebound is already in motion — it’s just not evenly visible yet,” he said. “But it will be. And when it hits, it’s going to move fast.”
