  • MIL-OSI: MoonFox Data Releases New Report: Instant Retail Becomes the Next Battleground as JD.com and Meituan Intensify Food Delivery Competition in China

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Shenzhen, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — [Shenzhen, China] – [June 3, 2025] – MoonFox Data, a leading provider of market intelligence and data analytics, today released its latest report, “Instant Retail Remains a Long-Term Battle, and the Food Delivery Battle Is Just the Beginning.” The report reveals how China’s instant retail sector is entering a new phase of fierce competition, with JD.com and Meituan at the forefront, leveraging food delivery as a critical driver of user growth and market expansion in 2025.

    In 2025, JD.com and Meituan engaged in several rounds of online “cross-platform jabs” over their food delivery services. Topics such as “Food Delivery Battle” and “Meituan Issues Another Statement” trended on social media. Amid the ensuing “war of words” and mounting public debate, both platforms’ ambitions in the “instant retail” space were laid bare.

    Tracing back their development, it is evident that JD.com and Meituan have been investing in instant retail for over a decade. As early as 2018, Meituan internally launched the “Flash Sale” brand focused on instant delivery of retail items. However, after 7 years and multiple rounds of fierce competition in community group purchase, “Meituan Flash Sale” was only officially launched as an independent brand in 2025. Meanwhile, from 2015 to 2023, JD.com steadily bolstered its capabilities in supply chain, digitalization, and logistics. By integrating diverse service segments, including JD Health, JD Car Care, and convenience supermarkets, the company established a robust localized service chain. In 2024, building on this integrated capacity, JD.com officially unveiled “JD Instant Delivery” as its flagship instant delivery service.

    I. Instant Retail Shows Strong Potential, but Sustained Survival Remains Challenging

    To begin with, it’s essential to clarify the concepts of local life services and instant retail: Local life services refer to the use of online channels to display information about local brick-and-mortar businesses, with transactions completed offline services (through in-store visits or home). This model emphasizes “geographic relevance”. Instant retail, as a key component of local life services, involves delivering products from local retail models (such as supermarkets, warehouses, and storefronts) directly to consumers through same-city delivery. It covers a wide range of categories, including food & beverages, fresh produce, electronics, and pharmaceuticals. Services like hourly delivery, half-day delivery, community group purchase, and food delivery all fall within the scope of instant retail. Its high time sensitivity is the key factor distinguishing it from traditional e-commerce and parcel delivery.

    The local life services sector is constantly seeing the emergence of new entrants. However, most of these newcomers tend to focus on “in-store” business models rather than delivery-heavy services, as the latter demand robust and fast-changing delivery ecosystems that many find difficult to sustain.

    For example, Douyin launched “Beckoning Food Delivery” in 2021 and formed strategic partnerships with service providers like Ele.me, DADA, and SF Express. However, after lukewarm results, Douyin Life Services pivoted its local service strategy to focus on the business from group purchase to in-store visits. Kwai trialed food delivery through selected local life service merchants in 2023 but did not scale up, maintaining its focus on in-store deals of group purchase. DiDi attempted to launch food delivery twice in China but failed both times and has since shifted its food delivery ambitions to overseas markets in 2025. Community group purchase brands like Nice Tuan, Chengxin Selected and MissFresh shut down around 2023 due to operational difficulties…

    Despite these setbacks, instant retail still holds vast potential within China, especially in lower-tier markets.

    Industry statistics show that in 2024, China’s instant retail market reached approximately RMB 780 billion, accounting for only 6% of total online retail of physical goods. The market distribution between major cities and county-level areas is roughly 7:3. By 2030, the market is expected to surpass RMB 2 trillion.

    Table 2: Instant Retail Market Growth in China (2018 – 2030)

    Year Instant Retail Market Transaction Volume (RMB 100 million) Transaction Volume YoY Growth Share of Online Retail Transaction Volume of Physical Goods
    2018 690 88 % 1.0 %
    2019 1,180 71 % 1.4 %
    2020 2,150 82 % 2.3 %
    2021 2,350 9 % 2.2 %
    2022 5,040 114 % 4.5 %
    2023 6,500 29 % 5.3 %
    2024 7,800 20 % 6.0 %
    2025E 10,030 29 % 7.1 %
    2026E 11,750 17 % 7.7 %
    2023E 20,000 10.1 %

    II. Platforms Face Growth Anxiety and Urgently Need New Growth Curves

    For JD.com, local life services remain fertile ground with significant untapped potential. Among them, instant retail, characterized by high purchase frequency and rapid conversion, is undoubtedly a critical lever for driving business growth and attracting UV.

    Table 3: Comparison of Different Retail Models (In Terms of Profitability Efficiency: Instant Retail > Traditional E-commerce > Offline Retail)

    Type Instant Retail Traditional E-commerce In-store Visits of Group Purchase Offline Retail
    Consumer Behavior Place order online, with hourly delivery or flash delivery Place order online → shipped via express → received Order online, redeem in-store Browse and purchase in-store, offline payment
    B2B Requirements High-frequency demand; rich product supply is essential

    Low return rate

    Instant fulfillment

    		 High-frequency demand

    High return rate

    Long fulfillment cycle

    		 Pre-purchase vouchers

    Redemption rates fluctuate

    Unstable fulfillment window

    		 Low-frequency demand

    Low return rate

    Instant fulfillment

    Traditional e-commerce has passed its high-growth phase. In recent years, large-scale promotional events such as “618” and “D11” have lost their earlier traction, signaling consumer fatigue towards excessive discounting and promotional gimmicks. In response, e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, JD.com, and Vipshop have extended promotional periods and introduced “Billion-RMB Subsidy” to maintain total sales growth. However, Pinduoduo’s rapid rise and the increasing competitiveness of emerging e-commerce platforms like Douyin and Kwai have created new challenges. JD.com’s dominance, particularly in the electronics product category, is now under threat from multiple fronts.

    During Meituan’s Q3 2024 financial report audio conference, founder Wang Xing commented on industry trends, stating that instant retail will eventually account for over 10% of the total e-commerce market, and that Meituan Flash Sale’s growth has exceeded expectations. The 2024 financial report noted: “In 2024, ‘Meituan Flash Warehouses’ experienced significant growth, particularly in lower-tier markets, where they have become a key growth channel for many retailers. A number of major traditional retail companies have adopted ‘Meituan Flash Warehouse’ model… As our instant delivery business expands, we remain committed to building a sustainable ecosystem.”

    According to Meituan’s financial reports from 2022 to 2024, the platform’s gross profit margin has grown by over 30% YoY for three consecutive years, with its gross margin increasing from 28% to 38%. Core local services revenue maintained a YoY growth rate exceeding 20%, and new business income continued to accelerate. Although Meituan Flash Sale had not yet officially launched, it was repeatedly highlighted in annual financial reports over the past 5 years as a key growth engine for the platform.

    III. JD.com’s Surprise PR Offensive: Rapid Expansion into Meituan’s Core Territory

    In early April, JD.com CEO Xu Ran stated in an interview with 36Kr that the food delivery business could help JD.com increase both user base and purchase frequency, extending its service scenarios.

    On April 15, a leaked 7-minute internal meeting audio recording of Liu Qiangdong revealed his views on the domestic food delivery industry: Food delivery platform commissions can reach as high as 25% (sometimes over 30%), which he attributed to monopolistic practices that force small and medium-sized merchants to cut food quality, negatively impacting the consumer experience. He also proposed differentiated insurance policies for full-time and part-time couriers to better safeguard their rights.

    As early as 2022, Meituan’s financial report showed that its food delivery business had reached a peak of over 60 million orders per day. Although there is still a significant gap in order volume between the two platforms, JD Food Delivery achieved over 10 million in a single day on April 22, reflecting rapid growth.

    Comparing the daily new user growth for merchant and courier platforms since the start of 2025, JD Instant Delivery Merchant Edition and DADA Instant Delivery Courier Edition apps saw a UV surge. According to MoonFox Data, JD Instant Delivery Merchant Edition app peaked in daily new user numbers on April 24. Both platform initiatives and market responses clearly indicate that JD is making a bold incursion into Meituan’s food delivery “stronghold”.

    February 14,186 26,081 33,413 69,820 45,454
    March 16,606 23,781 34,178 47,042 50,499
    April 17,256 21,021 31,207 181,658 64,538

    Data Source: MoonFox iApp, Data Cycle: January 1, 2025 – April 27, 2025

    For users, switching between food delivery apps has low friction. With a clear intent to order, pricing and delivery time are often the only decisive factors. Last summer, Ele.me attracted UV via its “Answer to Win Free Meal” campaign, which relied on extremely low discounts and simple, engaging interactions. While Meituan launched “Meal Group Buying”, significantly lowering average order value to retain users through volume sales, though at the cost of some dining experience. In addition, Ele.me also tied its premium membership to Taobao’s 88VIP, leveraging high member stickiness from Taobao to boost Ele.me order frequency.

    For platforms, the fast migration of users and high usage frequency makes food delivery the best UV lever for JD.com to grow its instant retail business. But before that, onboarding a large number of restaurant merchants and recruiting a sufficient courier fleet are essential. Since launching JD Food Delivery on February 11, the platform has used a range of PR tactics to become a major industry topic, quickly moving beyond its cold start into a phase of explosive growth.

    • Late February: JD took the lead in advocating reform in the food delivery sector, focusing on courier welfare. This proactive stance gave JD the upper hand in the initial “war of words”. With value-driven messaging and concrete policy support, JD.com gained public recognition and courier endorsement.
    • In April, JD.com and Meituan entered a second round of confrontation. JD.com issued an open letter condemning Meituan’s various “misdeeds” and simultaneously rolled out new support policies and promotional benefits, once again pushing “JD Food Delivery” into the spotlight across the internet. The following day, “Liu Qiangdong Takes on Food Delivery” showcased JD’s strong commitment to developing its food delivery business. With a light-hearted and humorous public image, Liu won over netizens, who jokingly dubbed his delivery persona “GG Bond”. This, coupled with the platform’s swift marketing response, sparked a new wave of viral attention.

    During this second “war of words” wave, although Meituan responded swiftly with rebuttals, and some couriers questioned the accuracy of JD’s claims on social media, the incentives offered by JD helped counterbalance earlier criticism. However, overall, the various incentives released by the platform are helping to offset the negative public opinion caused by early-stage issues. JD has still managed to earn the trust of most merchants and couriers.

    January 2,031,496 862,633
    February 1,168,203 807,748

    Key Date JD.com Actions Meituan Responses
    February 24 JD Food Delivery announced “Three Key Policies”: no commission all year, full social insurance for full-time couriers, and mandatory dine-in capability for merchants Meituan launched the “City Defense Plan”, lowering core merchant commissions from 23% to 6% – 8%.
    April 14 JD launched “Self-operated Instant Delivery” Meituan Flash Sale launched.
    April 21 JD issued an open letter: accusing Meituan of forcing couriers to choose one platform and announced plans to recruit 100,000 full-time couriers and offer a “late delivery, free meal” policy. Meituan denied the accusations and ramped up subsidies.
    April 22 JD Food Delivery surpassed 10 million daily orders; “Liu Qiangdong Takes on Food Delivery” trended online.

    IV. The “Food Delivery Battle” Ushers in a New Era of Instant Retail Competition

    In April, amid the intense “Food Delivery Battle” between JD.com and Meituan, both Meituan “Flash Sale” and JD’s “Self-operated Instant Delivery” services were launched simultaneously.

    Just ahead of the Labor Day holiday, “Taobao Flash Sale” went live in 50 cities, followed by a nationwide rollout on May 2. To drive up order frequency during the holiday, Taobao partnered with Ele.me to issue substantial consumer subsidies such as free-order card and treat-voucher card.

    According to MoonFox Data, since April 2025, JD.com’s daily new user volume has continuously increased, and has surpassed Meituan’s since April 16. Since the launch of its food delivery service, JD.com has also seen a steady rise in average user online time. As of April 23, average daily online time reached 14.27 minutes per user, increased by 54% compared with the same period last year.

    Despite reports of issues such as “inefficient processes” and “system bugs” with JD Food Delivery, there are still many shortcomings in the courier operation procedures that need to be addressed. However, driven by benefits related to commission rates and employee protection, a large number of couriers are switching platforms, while food delivery merchants and offline stores are also accelerating their entry into “JD Instant Delivery”. With intensified investment in business development models, infrastructure construction, and supporting policies, both JD and Meituan are stepping up efforts to seize market share.

    Meituan’s instant retail business is an extension of its food delivery capabilities, relying on third-party franchises and offline retail store partnerships for warehousing, and service-provider-based courier models. This asset-light strategy plays to Meituan’s platform operation strengths, enabling rapid territorial expansion across cities.

    JD’s instant retail business places greater emphasis on its “self-operated” model, leveraging its early investments in e-commerce warehousing as a key foundation. It expands operations based on regional fulfillment centers while strengthening partnerships with offline stores, particularly branded chain stores, to enhance delivery efficiency and ensure product quality, a strategy that aligns with users’ existing perception of JD’s authenticity and logistics capabilities in e-commerce. The supply of local couriers primarily relies on contracted riders from DADA Instant Delivery. In recent years, JD Group’s increasing equity stake in DADA has further strengthened its influence over last-mile delivery in the instant retail sector.

    The attention generated by the “Food Delivery Battle” and the boom of instant retail has created invisible pressure for traditional e-commerce giants like Taobao. Taobao, backed by Alibaba’s vast ecosystem, including Tmall Supermarket, Amap, Ele.me, Freshippo, and Alipay, has promising opportunities in the local life service sector. However, the coordination between different business units and the logistics efficiency within the last 3 to 5 kilometers remain key challenges that the platform must overcome to scale its instant retail business.

    At present, Taobao Flash Sale appears to be a combination of Ele.me’s original food delivery services and Taobao’s previous “hourly delivery” feature, swiftly entering the competition to drive UV and user engagement. During the Labor Day holiday, topics such as #Taobao Flash Sale Crashed# even trended on social media platforms.

    For Meituan, instant retail represents a new growth engine; For JD.com, it is a strategic lever to drive growth across its entire e-commerce ecosystem. Compared with the overt and covert competition between the two giants, the rapid launch of Taobao Flash Sale is more of a defensive move. Its long-term prospects remain to be seen. For now, all major platforms are still focused on strengthening infrastructure and optimizing operational efficiency, with instant retail shaping up to be a long-term battle.

  • MIL-OSI: HashiCorp Expands Unified Lifecycle Management for Hybrid Cloud Operations

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LONDON, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today at HashiDays London, its first international user conference as an IBM company, HashiCorp unveiled the vision for partnering with IBM to shape the future of hybrid cloud automation. Despite widespread adoption, most enterprises have not reached cloud maturity — out of the 94% using cloud services, only 20% are receiving full ROI. IBM estimates that one billion new AI applications will emerge by 2028, driving greater cloud complexity and forcing enterprises to make critical decisions about their hybrid cloud strategies. Together with IBM’s software automation portfolio, HashiCorp is delivering the automated hybrid cloud platform that unifies infrastructure and security workflows, reduces complexity, and enhances visibility and control.

    At HashiDays London, HashiCorp announced new products and integrations that expand the capabilities of its Infrastructure Cloud across Infrastructure and Security Lifecycle Management (ILM and SLM) to help organizations automate hybrid infrastructure delivery, reduce operational risk, and improve security posture throughout the entire application lifecycle.

    “I’m excited to welcome our global community to HashiDays 2025, where we are sharing our vision for how HashiCorp and IBM will work together to build an automated hybrid cloud platform,” said Armon Dadgar, CTO and Co-Founder, HashiCorp. “With this vision, we’ll deliver a unified control plane that powers hybrid applications, embedding policy, automation, and observability into every layer of the stack, so enterprises can modernize securely, streamline operations, and unlock AI-driven automation at scale.”

    For more than 10 years, HashiCorp has helped thousands of customers across every geography and industry do cloud right. At HashiDays, customers from EMEA and APAC, including Booking.com, BT Group, Helvetia Insurance, HTX, InfoCert, shiftavenue, Trust Bank, SPH Media, and more, are sharing stories of how they manage cloud infrastructure and security with HashiCorp.

    Infrastructure Lifecycle Management

    As customers scale their hybrid strategies with IBM and HashiCorp, Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM) continues to be a foundational priority. From building landing zones to enabling secure Day 2+ automation, organizations are using ILM to drive faster delivery and infrastructure resilience across teams and environments.

    Helvetia Insurance | How Terraform supported an ambitious cloud migration

    Founded in 1858 and headquartered in St. Gallen, Switzerland, Helvetia Insurance Group is a major player in the European insurance market. A few years ago, the cloud enablement team started a complete migration from on-premises datacenters to the public cloud. The ambitious goal: move 200 applications to AWS and Azure within one year. Using HashiCorp Terraform, Helvetia’s cloud enablement team created landing zones — fully configured cloud accounts with connectivity and policies — for its internal product teams. They then collaborated with a partner to build modules for hardened virtual machines and other critical resources allowing them to follow a lift-and-shift approach, expediting the migration without sacrificing security or governance. “Terraform was instrumental in achieving our migration goals. Without it, moving 200 applications in about a year would have been impossible. Our teams now have the tools to work faster and with greater confidence,” said Matthias Mertens, Cloud Solution Architect, Helvetia Insurance.

    HashiCorp’s ILM capabilities help platform and operations teams accelerate delivery, enforce policy, and optimize infrastructure from Day 0 to Day N. Today’s announcements expand support for secure, policy-enforced infrastructure delivery with new features across Terraform, Packer, Nomad, and Waypoint. These updates automate critical workflows that improve team productivity and infrastructure resilience throughout the full lifecycle.

    Build: Define and provision infrastructure in a standardized, scalable way to avoid configuration drift and manual rework.

    • Terraform ephemeral resources (GA): Protect sensitive values from persisting in state files
    • Sentinel policy library for AWS (GA): Enforce secure-by-default configurations with pre-written policies
    • Terraform + Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform: Enable orchestration of complex infrastructure workflows with end-to-end infrastructure as code

    Deploy: Enable repeatable, secure, and policy-aligned delivery of applications and environments.

    • HCP Waypoint actions (GA): Offer Day 2+ lifecycle workflows like rollback and restart, exposed through UI or CLI, to provide an internal developer platform that shields users from the underlying infrastructure complexity

    Manage: Monitor, update, and deprecate infrastructure components securely and efficiently across teams and environments.

    • HCP module revocation: Prevent use of revoked modules in HCP Terraform as part of module lifecycle management
    • HCP Terraform Premium SKU: Unlock advanced governance and private VCS support
    • Dynamic host volumes (Nomad): Enable more flexible, scalable provisioning of persistent storage across Nomad clients, essential for stateful workloads that require resilient storage operations in dynamic environments
    • Terraform provider for IBM Z: Empower organizations to integrate their mainframe platforms into modern workflows and hybrid cloud strategies

    Security Lifecycle Management

    As organizations modernize their infrastructure, their security surface area grows, along with the need to continuously inspect, protect, and govern sensitive data. Security Lifecycle Management (SLM) ensures that identity-based security, secrets management, and access governance are built directly into hybrid workflows, rather than bolted on after deployment.

    IG Group | Strengthened security while accelerating delivery with HCP Vault

    “As a security leader, my job is to reduce risk for my company without slowing down our development teams,” said Andrew Blooman, Platform Security Team Lead, IG Group. “Over the past few years, HashiCorp has helped us achieve these goals as we adopted multiple products for a number of use cases. We started with Community Edition versions of Vault, Nomad, and Consul, used HashiCorp Professional Services to accelerate this deployment, and added HCP Vault this year. We now have 63 teams onboarded to HCP Vault, with a centralized GitOps workflow allowing for version control, change approvals, and an audit log of newly onboarded teams.”

    HashiCorp’s SLM capabilities help security and compliance teams safeguard sensitive data, enforce access policies, and maintain governance from Day 0 through Day N. These updates provide proactive tools for visibility, access control, and cryptographic assurance across hybrid environments, and reflect continued investment in helping teams move faster without compromising control.

    Inspect: Identify and address potential security gaps before infrastructure or applications reach production.

    • HCP Vault Radar (GA): Detect and remediate unmanaged secrets and credential sprawl across environments
    • Consul 1.21 (GA): Simplify external service monitoring architecture for enhanced observability and service registration in complex environments

    Protect: Enforce identity-based access and secure application communication across environments.

    • Boundary transparent sessions (GA): Provide secure access to systems without altering user workflows
    • Vault and Consul integrations for Red Hat OpenShift: Streamline secure access across containerized workloads
    • Bring your own DNS to HCP Vault Dedicated: Improve connectivity and security posture in regulated environments, available now in AWS and coming soon to Azure

    Govern: Automate governance of credentials, policies, and encryption standards across systems and teams.

    • Vault Enterprise 1.19: Includes post-quantum cryptography updates, constrained certificate authorities, and automated root password rotation

    Together with IBM, HashiCorp is delivering the unified lifecycle foundation that modern enterprises need to scale securely and confidently in a hybrid world. Recent announcements, including Terraform Enterprise support for IBM Z and Vault Enterprise support for IBM Z and LinuxONE, bring HashiCorp’s ILM and SLM expertise to the mainframe, further enabling hybrid cloud automation that stretches from on-premises to private and public cloud.

    Sydney, London, New York, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Iress today announced that 26 Degrees Global Markets, the multi-asset prime broker, has added the QuantHouse Cboe One Feed to its US equity data coverage, further expanding its US trading capabilities and enhancing its offering for retail brokers seeking ‘out of hours’ access to US markets.

    The addition of QuantHouse Cboe One Feed data will support 26 Degrees in the delivery of innovative and client-centric solutions to their global client base, and also reflects growing industry demand for extended market access, particularly in Asia. The Cboe One Feed offers consolidated, real-time market data from Cboe’s four US equities exchanges – which collectively account for 21.2%* of US equities on-exchange trading. This includes data from the early hours trading session (4am – 7am ET), during which Cboe has a 40.5% market share*.

    QuantHouse’s Head of EMEA & APAC Sales and Business Development, Rob Kirby, said: “The integration of the new Cboe One Feed by 26 Degrees enhances its US market data coverage considerably, supporting CFD retail flow and meeting growing investor appetite, particularly in Asia, to trade around the clock.

By integrating new Cboe One Feed market data within our QuantHouse API interface, we can offer traders, particularly in Asia, unparalleled access to US markets, unlocking new growth opportunities.”

Cboe is committed to meet the growing international demand for access to US markets, by delivering high-quality market data as efficiently as possible.”

    QuantHouse continues to expand its global market data reach and connectivity.

  • MIL-OSI: 21Shares Launches 21Shares Hedera ETP (HDRA) on Euronext

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New ETP offers regulated exposure to one of the most scalable and sustainable distributed ledger technologies

    Zurich, 3 June 2025 – 21Shares AG (“21Shares”), one of the world’s largest issuers of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), today announced the launch of the 21Shares Hedera ETP (Ticker: HDRA). The product is now listed on Euronext Amsterdam (USD) and Euronext Paris (EUR), offering investors simple, transparent, and regulated access to Hedera’s enterprise-grade DLT (distributed ledger technology).

    Exchange Product Name Ticker ISIN Fee
    Euronext Paris and Euronext Amsterdam 21Shares Hedera ETP HDRA CH1456607683 2.50%

    The 21Shares Hedera ETP provides 100% physically backed exposure to HBAR, the native token of the Hedera network. It allows investors to gain institutional-grade access, directly through traditional bank or brokerage accounts, to one of the most energy-efficient and scalable distributed ledger technologies available today.

    “With its unique architecture, strong governance model, and real-world adoption, Hedera stands out as one of the most advanced distributed ledger technologies on the market,” said Duncan Moir, President at 21Shares and Board Member at Hedera Hashgraph LLC. “By launching the 21Shares Hedera ETP, we are enabling both institutional and retail investors to participate in the growing Hedera ecosystem through a fully regulated, transparent investment vehicle.”

    Hedera is an open-source distributed ledger designed for real-world innovation and enterprise use. It is governed by a global council of up to 39 renowned institutions, including Google, IBM, LG, Dell, EDF, and Deutsche Telekom, operating under legally binding, transparent terms. This governance model emphasises trust, resilience, and long-term stability – redefining decentralisation for scalable, mainstream adoption.

    “As more institutions seek secure ways to access digital assets, 21Shares continues to lead the way by bridging traditional finance and crypto with clarity and confidence,” said Gregg Bell, Chief Business Officer at Hedera Foundation. “This collaboration gives investors a straightforward way to access HBAR and brings them closer to a network trusted by leading institutions worldwide.”

    Unlike traditional blockchains, Hedera leverages its novel Hashgraph consensus mechanism that delivers industry-leading performance. It supports up to 500,000 transactions per second under testing conditions, offers predictable, fixed fees in USD, and consumes just 0.000003 kWh per transaction – making it 1,000 times more energy-efficient than a typical Visa transaction.

  • MIL-OSI: Konsolidator launches financial data warehouse – Built for finance, not IT

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Press release no. 3-2025
    Copenhagen, June 3, 2025

    Konsolidator launches financial data warehouse – Built for finance, not IT
    Today, Konsolidator announces the launch of its financial data warehouse, designed specifically for CFOs and finance teams. Built to tackle the data overload facing finance departments, the solution delivers structured, reliable data for reporting without relying on internal IT resources. Part of the product pillar from the company’s 2025–2027 “Resilient Growth” strategy, the data warehouse utilizes Konsolidator’s core expertise in financial reporting.

    A new foundation for financial data
    Konsolidator’s financial data warehouse taps into Konsolidator’s existing experience in financial reporting. The purpose of Konsolidator’s financial data warehouse is to give finance professionals a clean, structured view of their data, ready for reporting and decision-making. Finance teams today face a clear problem: too much data, from too many systems, and no clear way to use it. ERP systems, CRMs, spreadsheets, and planning tools provide complexity instead of insight.

    “It’s no longer about access to data—it’s about making sense of it. You need a solution built for finance, not developers,” says Lars Højer Paaske, Head of Product at Konsolidator.

    A solution for teams without the internal IT resources

    The financial data warehouse is designed for finance teams who want control over their data, without needing internal or external IT experts to build and maintain infrastructure. Fully integrated with Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, the solution enables advanced analytics, transaction-level transparency, and automated reporting workflows. Many companies lack the internal expertise to build or maintain a data warehouse. Konsolidator’s hosted solution has built-in governance, security, and compliance—so finance teams can focus on insight, not infrastructure.

    2025-2027 strategy: Broader product offerings

    The financial data warehouse is, together with the upcoming FP&A tool, part of Konsolidator’s broader “Build, Buy or Partner” approach. It is one of four strategic pillars of the Resilient Growth strategy and the first step in launching The Konsolidator Suite—our new platform approach that gives finance teams end-to-end control over their data, from consolidation to reporting, and fits into a more holistic view of finance digital ecosystems.

    We’re building solutions that make CFOs better with reliable data, not just in the monthly reporting, but to feed into the overall strategy.

    “This is the first step into something bigger,” says CEO Claus Finderup Grove. “We’re moving beyond ‘just being a consolidation product’ to become a central part of the entire finance department. We believe finance teams already have the right skills and data—they just need the right tools to use it.”

    Soitec and PSMC collaborate on ultra-thin TLT technology for nm-scale 3D stacking

    Bernin (France), June 3, 2025 – Soitec (Euronext – Tech Leaders), a world leader in the design and production of innovative semiconductor materials, today announced a strategic collaboration with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC).

    Under the collaboration, Soitec will supply PSMC 300mm substrates incorporating a release layer, Transistor Layer Transfer (TLT) ready, to support a new demonstration of advanced 3D chip stacking at the wafer level. This marks the first public announcement of Soitec’s TLT technology.

    The technology is an enabler for next-generation semiconductor designs that allow for more powerful, compact and energy-efficient chips – with potential applications ranging from smartphones, tablets and AI devices to autonomous driving systems.

    Soitec’s Chief Technology Officer and Senior EVP Innovation, Christophe Maleville said: “At Soitec we are proud to pioneer semiconductor materials that unlock new possibilities in chip design and performance. Our collaboration with PSMC reflects a shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of 3D integration and supporting the global shift toward more efficient and compact computing architectures. Together we are laying the groundwork for the next generation of semiconductor innovation.”

    PSMC Chief Technology Officer SZ Chang said: “With our longstanding presence in memory and logic foundry, PSMC consistently drives advancements in 3D stacking. In the two-year collaboration, PSMC has demonstrated an innovative wafer-stack integrated process by leveraging Soitec’s advanced substrate technology. The innovation significantly broadens the 3D technology from chip-level stacking – optimizing power performance in computing architecture, to transistor-level stacking – extending Moore’s law, with a remarkable reduction in stacking wafer thickness from micrometer to nanometer level. This achievement, by pushing the boundaries of 3D stacking, reaffirms our position at the forefront of the semiconductor industry.”

    To meet growing industry demand for faster and more energy-efficient chips, Soitec has developed a new substrate stack enabling high-speed transfer of ultra-thin transistor layers onto different types of wafers—a key requirement in heterogeneous integration, where diverse chip components are combined in a single package.

    The stacking process enables multiple transistor layers to be built vertically to support 3D transistor architectures including vertical field-effect transistors (FETs) with backside power delivery networks (PDNs).

    This TLT substrate leverages Smart Cut™ technology together with infrared (IR) laser release processing. The proprietary Soitec technology enables the formation of an ultra-thin semiconductor layer, ranging from 5nm to 1µm in thickness, on top of the TLT substrate. Once devices are fabricated on the TLT wafer, the IR laser process facilitates the lift-off of the ultra-thin layer from the substrate to the target wafer, without introducing thermal stress or damaging the devices.

    The Soitec-PSMC collaboration builds on existing France-Taiwan cooperation initiatives in AI and other semiconductor-related domains.

  • MIL-OSI: Angus Gold Reminds Shareholders of Upcoming Special Meeting and Provides Additional Disclosure Regarding Shareholder Approval Requirements

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Angus Gold Inc. (TSX-V: GUS | OTC: ANGVF) (“Angus” or the “Company”) reminds shareholders of its upcoming special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) to vote on the proposed arrangement transaction (the “Arrangement”) with Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (“Wesdome”), announced on April 7, 2025 and to be held on June 19, 2025. Shareholders must submit proxies by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on June 17, 2025. Angus encourages all shareholders to vote as soon as possible.

    Following a review of the Company’s information circular dated May 7, 2025 (the “Circular”) by the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”), Angus is also providing additional disclosure regarding the shareholder approval requirements under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). At the date of the Arrangement agreement and as of the record date of May 7, 2025 (the “Record Date”), Wesdome owned 6,300,000 common shares of Angus, representing 10.4% of the outstanding shares. As a result, Wesdome is a “related party” under MI 61-101, and, as noted in the Circular, the Arrangement constitutes a “business combination.” Accordingly, in addition to the 66 2/3% shareholder approval required under corporate law, the Arrangement requires “minority approval”—meaning approval by a majority of votes cast at the Special Meeting, excluding shares held by interested parties and related parties (each as defined under MI 61-101.

    All 6,300,000 Angus common shares held by Wesdome will be excluded from minority approval given it is a related party to the Company. In addition, as disclosed in the Circular, Patrick Langlois and Dennis Peterson, who collectively hold 5,375,000 Angus common shares, are considered interested parties under MI 61-101, and their Angus shares will therefore be excluded from the minority approval vote. Each of the members of the Angus special committee and board of directors were aware of, and received advice with respect to, the application of MI 61-101 to the Arrangement in light of Wesdome’s related party status.

    As of the Record Date, 60,331,050 Angus common shares were outstanding. Shareholders holding approximately 36.5% of these common shares have entered into voting support agreements in favour of the Arrangement, representing approximately 34.3% of the common shares eligible to vote for purposes of minority approval under MI 61-101.

    The OSC also requested clarification of a reference to the mix of cash and share consideration in the “Background to the Arrangement” section of the Circular. During negotiations, Wesdome proposed that Angus shareholders receive a mix of cash and Wesdome shares instead of all Wesdome shares. After a thorough review by the special committee and its independent legal and financial advisors, the special committee recommended—and the Angus board agreed—that this mixed‐consideration approach would provide greater certainty of value while still allowing shareholders to benefit from any upside in Wesdome’s share price. As the definitive agreements progressed, the parties agreed to finalize the exact cash and share mix, with the price and exchange ratio fixed on April 5, 2025.

  • MIL-OSI: HCI Group Announces Completion of its 2025 – 2026 Catastrophe Reinsurance Programs

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TAMPA, Fla., June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HCI Group, Inc. (NYSE: HCI) has successfully completed its catastrophe reinsurance programs for the 2025-2026 treaty year, which runs from June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026.

    “We are grateful for the strong support from our global reinsurance partners, whose continued confidence in HCI underscores the quality of our underwriting and our disciplined approach to risk,” said Paresh Patel, HCI’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We believe our reinsurance programs are prudently structured to protect the long-term financial stability of our insurance companies. With the reinsurance placement now finalized, we are well-positioned to pursue strategic initiatives aimed at delivering sustained value to our shareholders.”

    HCI secured three reinsurance towers for the 2025-2026 treaty year. Reinsurance Tower 1 is shared between HCI subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, and HCI sponsored reciprocal insurance company, Tailrow Insurance Exchange, and covers all Homeowners Choice policies issued in Florida and all Tailrow policies issued in Florida. Reinsurance Tower 2 is shared between HCI subsidiary, TypTap Insurance Company, and Homeowners Choice and covers all TypTap policies (whether issued in Florida or outside of Florida) and all Homeowners Choice policies issued outside of Florida. Reinsurance Tower 3 covers all Condo Owners Reciprocal Exchange policies issued in Florida. Condo Owners Reciprocal Exchange, known as CORE, is a reciprocal insurance company sponsored by HCI.

    Across the three reinsurance towers, HCI secured over $3.5 billion in excess of loss aggregate limit and full reinstatement premium protection for the 2025-2026 treaty year. Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company Ltd, HCI’s Bermuda-based reinsurance subsidiary, selectively participates across all three reinsurance towers. All participating reinsurers are AM Best rated ‘A-’ (Excellent) or better or have fully collateralized their obligations to HCI.

    The statutory retentions for the first and second event are $18 million for both Reinsurance Tower 1 and Reinsurance Tower 2, and $3 million for Reinsurance Tower 3. Claddaugh’s estimated maximum retained loss is approximately $117 million for a first event and $35 million for a second event.

    For the three reinsurance towers, HCI expects to incur net consolidated reinsurance premiums ceded to third parties, excluding Claddaugh, of approximately $422 million from June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026. The reinsurance premiums are an estimate based on exposure projections and subject to true up at September 30, 2025.

    More information is available in the Company’s Form 8-K, filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
