Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by a Fund and income and dividends earned by a Fund are taxable in the year they are paid. An investor’s adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of

    capital. If an investor’s adjusted cost base goes below zero, then capital gains tax will have to be paid on the amount below zero.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ZURICH, Switzerland, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The race is on as the XploraDEX $XPL token distribution goes live, marking a major milestone in what is shaping up to be XRPL’s most innovative DeFi launch. With just 6 days remaining in the presale, early adopters are moving fast to secure their tokens before the window closes for good.

    XploraDEX has gained massive traction for being the first AI-powered decentralized exchange built natively on the XRP Ledger. Designed to deliver intelligent trade execution, predictive analytics, and real-time automation, XploraDEX is reshaping what on-chain trading can look like for everyday users and advanced traders alike.

    Token distribution began earlier this week and is now in full swing. Thousands of wallets are being funded with $XPL as part of the 7-day rollout plan. The response? Electric. From DeFi veterans to XRPL newcomers, the demand has reached new highs, and on-chain activity is surging.

    What’s Happening Now:

    • $XPL tokens are actively being distributed to early supporters
    • 98% of the token allocation has already been claimed

    United Nations Alliance of Civilizations Meeting in Geneva Concludes with Key Recommendations on AI Governance and Launches HUMAN-AI-T: A Global Initiative to Integrate Humanity into Artificial Intelligence
    UNAOC AI for #OneHumanity: Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence

    Geneva, Switzerland – April 23, 2025 –WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity, blockchain, and IoT company, today announces that United Nations Alliance of Civilizations meeting in Geneva concludes with key recommendations on AI Governance and launches HUMAN-AI-T.

    Staying true to its founding motto “Many cultures, one humanity,” the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), established in 2005 by then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, continues to promote cultural diversity, interfaith dialogue, and mutual respect. Today, these foundational principles are essential to shaping the future of artificial intelligence.

    At a high-level meeting held at the United Nations Office in Geneva, UNAOC and its public and private sector partners launched HUMAN-AI-T, a transformative global initiative designed to align the evolution of artificial intelligence with universal ethical values, cultural heritage, and human dignity.

    Building on the momentum of its two previous editions, the third “AI for #OneHumanity” summit gathered a diverse group of global actors—governments, international organizations, business leaders, innovators, academics, media, and civil society—to explore pathways toward inclusive and responsible AI development in the service of the common good.

    Organized by UNAOC in collaboration with the Onuart Foundation, the two-day forum featured thematic sessions on the role of AI in intercultural dialogue, sustainable development, and collective human progress, while addressing critical issues such as cultural bias, AI governance, and equitable access.

    Notable participants from Spain included:

    • José Manuel Albares, Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation of Spain;
    • Miguel Ángel Moratinos, former Foreign Minister and current High Representative of UNAOC;
    • José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, former Prime Minister of Spain and President of the Advisory Board of the Onuart Foundation.

    Key Points:

    1. Ethical AI Governance:
      Minister Albares emphasized the urgent need for ethical AI development rooted in human rights. He announced Spain’s intention to propose a national Artificial Intelligence Governance Law, aimed at ensuring AI applications respect fundamental rights and prioritize dignity, inclusion, and human-centered innovation through multilateral frameworks.
    2. Global Cooperation and Risks:
      Albares warned of the growing dangers of misinformation and the irresponsible use of autonomous military technologies. He called for greater UN involvement to ensure no one is left behind and to maintain a fair and balanced multilateral system in AI development and regulation.
    3. Moratinos’ Concerns:
      Miguel Ángel Moratinos highlighted the risk of AI deepening global inequality or undermining shared values. He stressed that AI is no longer a future issue—it is already at the heart of our communications, economies, and daily lives, and urgently requires global oversight guided by human dignity.
    4. Zapatero’s Message:
      In a video message, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero expressed optimism about AI’s potential to address humanity’s most urgent needs: peace, democracy, and the eradication of poverty. “We are at a turning point,” he said. “Artificial intelligence must be a tool for peace and social justice. It must help us end hunger, combat inequality, and strengthen democratic values. Let’s ensure that AI, like every great human creation, serves to elevate the human spirit.”

    The opening session, titled “Towards One Humanity: Human-Centered Development Supported by AI,” featured remarks by Moratinos, Dr. José Luis Bonet Ferrer (President of the Onuart Foundation), and Rima Al-Chikh (UNOG), followed by opening addresses from Minister Albares, H.E. Burak Akçapar, Permanent Representative of Türkiye, and former President Zapatero.

    A main session on ethical and equitable AI included insights from David Carmona (VP & CTO of Microsoft), Carlos Moreira (CEO of WISeKey), Francisco Hortigüela (President of Ametic), Moulaye Bouamatou (President of Banque de Mauritanie), and Julian Isla (President of Fundación29), moderated by Fernando Zallo from the Onuart Foundation.

    Other panels focused on the inclusive future of AI, with contributions from Bilel Jamoussi (ITU), Jon Hernández, Enrique Arribas, Alberto Díez, Loida Peral, Matthew Griffin, Danilo McGarry, and Yujun Pian, moderated by Julie Ladanan of UNAOC.

    The session “Artificial Intelligence: Transforming Human Identity and Behavior in the Digital Age” featured video contributions from Dr. Rafael Yuste, Director of Columbia University’s NeuroTechnology Center and President of the NeuroRights Foundation, and Jared Genser, General Counsel of the same foundation. The session was moderated by Juan Carlos Gutiérrez of the Onuart Foundation.

    A complementary session on “AI and Media in the Information Age” addressed challenges such as disinformation and hate speech, with contributions from Catherine Bokonga-Fiankan (President of the Association of UN Correspondents in Geneva), Yfat Barak-Cheney (World Jewish Congress), Eduardo Solana (University of Geneva), Axel Hörger (former CEO of UBS Germany), Lluis Vilella (CEO of K-BOX), Sixtine Crutchfield (Art Director at WiseArt), filmmaker Devy Man, and music writer Soren Sorensen (aka Dorian Gray), moderated by Nihal Saad, Director of UNAOC.

    The HUMAN-AI-T initiative was presented as a secure and globally accessible digital platform to preserve humanity’s ethical, philosophical, and cultural legacy. Inspired by the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, it will function as an ethical digital vault, housing verified content—from religious texts and philosophical works to legal codes, international treaties, and indigenous knowledge—digitally signed and protected by post-quantum cryptographic technologies to ensure long-term trust, traceability, and integrity.

    As general artificial intelligence (AGI) and quantum computing advance, HUMAN-AI-T responds to the increasing ethical risks posed by superintelligent systems by anchoring AI development in shared human values and global moral frameworks. The initiative aligns with the UN General Assembly resolution on safe and trustworthy AI, aiming to make AI a platform for inclusion, cooperation, and ethical progress.

    “At the heart of AI must be the heart of humanity,” emphasized Miguel Ángel Moratinos. “This is not just a technological issue—it is a civilizational imperative. We must develop AI to serve people, not the other way around. That requires an inclusive model centered on dignity.”

    Dr. Bonet Ferrer added: “For AI to truly contribute to human progress, we must incorporate the spirit of One Humanity into its design and governance. Technology must unite us, honor our diversity, and strengthen our shared destiny.”

    Jared Genser also highlighted: “As neurotechnologies and AI converge, we must update human rights frameworks to protect mental sovereignty. HUMAN-AI-T is an urgent ethical safeguard anchoring these tools in principles from the outset.”

    Carlos Moreira, founder and CEO of WISeKey, concluded: “We are approaching a threshold where machines may surpass human intelligence. If we do not act now, we risk losing control over the values embedded in these systems. HUMAN-AI-T is our response: to ensure that the intelligence we build remains deeply human—now and for future generations.”

    Finally, Che Fu, founder and president of the World Public Economic Organization (WPEO) and president of the East-West Cultural Exchange Promotion Agency of Sichuan, remarked: “Artificial intelligence has a unique power to build bridges between civilizations. It is a new language of humanity—one that must be shaped with ethics and cultural understanding. We must come together, East and West, to ensure this technology connects us. I warmly invite the UN Alliance of Civilizations to hold the 4th AI for #OneHumanity Conference in China on January 20, 2026, where we can continue this global dialogue and strengthen our shared commitment to a human-centered digital future.”

    The event concluded with closing reflections from H.E. Mr. Moratinos and Dr. Bonet Ferrer, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the evolution of AI—one guided not only by algorithms and code, but by consciousness, cooperation, and compassion.

  • MIL-OSI: XA Investments Finds Strong Start to 2025 in Fund Launches and Asset Gathering Among Non-Listed Closed End Funds in its First Quarter 2025 Market Update

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CHICAGO, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — XA Investments LLC (“XAI”), an alternative investment management and consulting firm, announced today that its Non-Listed Closed-End Funds First Quarter 2025 Market Update shows a strong start to 2025 in both fund launches and asset gathering. The market update is a comprehensive research report detailing current market trends and industry highlights. The non-listed closed-end fund (CEF) market includes all interval and tender offer funds. The report introduces the XAI Interval Fund Index™ (INTVL), analyzes recent developments in co-investment relief, and reviews 2024 net flows across the market.

    “The non-listed CEF market continues to grow after a record year in 2024, with many sponsors launching a second fund and new sponsors entering the market” stated Kimberly Flynn, the president of XAI. “Such robust growth is great for the interval / tender offer fund market. We believe the market’s trajectory will remain positive, with significant opportunities for expansion throughout the rest of the year,” she added.

    XAI recently launched their XAI Interval Fund Index™ (INTVL), a total return index that tracks the interval fund market, helping to address the lack of easily accessible information on the market. “The XAI Interval Fund Index gives asset managers and financial advisors an unprecedented level of clarity in a market that has been notoriously difficult to track,” Flynn noted. “The first index tracking the interval and tender offer fund market, INTVL serves as the sole barometer for the market, giving investors a snapshot of how interval funds as a whole are performing,” Flynn added.

    The non-listed CEF market reached a new peak with 270 interval and tender offer funds with a total of $181 billion in net assets and $220 billion in total managed assets, inclusive of leverage, as of March 31, 2025. The market includes 134 interval funds which comprise 50% of the total managed assets at $132.1 billion and 136 tender offer funds which comprise the other 50% with $88.3 billion in total managed assets. This is a significant change from previous quarters, as the number of interval funds has caught up to the total number of tender funds. In Q1 2025, 14 new funds entered the market, representing an increase of four funds compared to the 10 funds launched in Q1 2024. Market-wide net assets increased $9 billion in Q1 2025 from the prior quarter.

    In total, there are 143 unique fund sponsors in the interval and tender offer fund space, with 50 fund sponsors that have two or more interval and/or tender offer funds currently in the market. Additionally, there are 27 funds currently in the Securities and Exchange Commission registration process from fund sponsors looking to launch another fund. Notably, the top 20 funds decreased their market share from 65% Q4 2024, to 60% in Q1 2025, displaying the growth of new funds in the market. Among the new funds launched in Q1 2025, there were three new interval fund sponsors, HarbourVest, Gemcorp and Pop Venture Advisers.

    In this quarterly report, XAI covers the 2024-year end net flows which are lagged by reporting cycles. In 2024 funds had positive net flows, totaling over $38 billion, with 67% of funds reporting positive net flows. The majority of net flows in 2024 (53%) went into daily NAV funds without suitability restrictions, while 26% went into funds limited to accredited investors, and 21% went into funds limited to qualified clients. In aggregate, the top 20 largest interval/tender offer funds experienced an increase in net flows year-over-year from 2023 to 2024 including many of the market leaders such as the Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund, Partners Group Private Equity (Master Fund), LLC, and ACAP Strategic Fund. In addition, Private Credit funds continued to dominate capital raising in 2024, bringing in over $20 billion in net assets, with Venture / Private Equity funds coming in second, bringing in over $11 billion in net assets.

So far in 2025, there have been 23 new SEC filings, compared to 15 new filings from Q1 2024, representing a 53% increase in registrations. Newly launched non-listed CEFs spent around seven months in the SEC registration process, with the fund’s asset class continuing to be the main driver of time spent in the SEC review process. Tax-Free Bond funds were the quickest to launch, at 160 days on average spent in registration,” she added.

    At 49%, the majority of interval and tender offer funds do not have any suitability restrictions for investors imposed at the fund level — 30% of funds are available to accredited investors and 21% are only available to qualified clients. Alternative funds without suitability restrictions also prove to be more accessible and have gathered more assets at $118.2 billion in managed assets or 54% of market-wide assets.

  • MIL-OSI: Farmers of Salem Proudly Spotlights Employee Tammy Stell for Her Generous Charitable Giving Work

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WILMINGTON, Del., April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Property and Casualty insurer, Farmers of Salem, is proud to support employee involvement in community activities that improve the quality of life in those communities where our employees live. Today, we spotlight Tammy Stell, Claims Customer Service Supervisor, who will be celebrating her 6-year career with Farmers later this year.

    We all felt the helpless and scary effects of the COVID Pandemic. But some of us recognized the needs of others and did something about it. It all started with a visit to the dollar store. While at the cash register, Tammy’s husband, Al Stell, noticed an older woman at the register. Without enough money, she had to put back some food items for herself in order that she could afford food for her precious pet cat. Al stepped in and paid for the woman’s whole grocery bill. As he was driving home, his wheels started turning. Tammy and Al put their extra time and energy into a new mission: “To help people feed their animals when they are financially distressed.”

    Bo Lends a PAW Pet Pantry held its first event on June 6, 2020, in Salem County, NJ. The pantry is named after the Stell family dog, Bo, who was adopted from a shelter in 2019.  The pantry is a non-profit organization that helps people feed their fur babies. Says Tammy, “We want to help people with their animals, so there will be less animals on the streets and less animals being “surrendered” to animal shelters.  It helps relieve the financial burden on people, allowing them to focus on paying for other essential items they need”

    Al Stell has a long history of community service volunteering as a firefighter since he was 16. Tammy loves animals and says, “We are at a point in our lives that we can help the community and make a difference.  We are big animal lovers, and we want to help people take care of them.  When someone thanks me it means the world to me.  People are eternally grateful. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.”

    The organization has big party plans to celebrate their 5-year anniversary, on June 7, 2025, at the Engine House in Pennsville, NJ. Recently, on March 13th, Tammy and Al went to a local school for a meet-n-greet with Bo. The students held a donation drive, and the winning class got a Pizza Party and an in-person meeting with the famous Bo Stell. Bo Lends a PAW has been featured by multiple media outlets and just this month was awarded the Best Community Strengthening Non-Profit in the 2025 Best in Salem County contest.

    Regarding Tammy’s career at Farmers, she stated: “I love my job!” Tammy is a Customer Service Rep II and has enjoyed working at Farmers for 5+ years.

  • MIL-OSI: Establish a United Front Against Fraud by Leveraging Credit Reporting as Your First Line of Defense

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CHICAGO, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bectran, Inc., the industry leader in credit, collections and accounts receivable management technology, has introduced a new method to report and track fraudulent customers, crowning its industry-leading fraud suite with a human-led, data-informed reporting system.

    “Credit managers play a critical role in identifying and stopping bad actors,” says Louis Ifeguni, CEO at Bectran. “By embedding their expertise directly into the verification process, we’re not only improving accuracy—we’re elevating the strategic value they bring to their organization.”

    Advanced Fraud Alerting and Analysis

    In today’s AI-driven fraud landscape, gaps in communication channels between departments can significantly increase a business’s risk exposure. When key stakeholders are unaware of potential threats, fraud reporting on applications becomes fragmented—leaving businesses vulnerable and divided.

    To prevent bad actors from slipping through cracks due to miscommunication, inconsistent verification processes, and limited visibility across teams, Bectran has introduced intelligent workflows that seal the gaps in fraud reporting. By surfacing risks as they are flagged, Bectran equips all teams with shared transparency and a fully traceable audit log—while tracking and identifying suspicious applications in real time.

    This capability is powered by Bectran’s AI-driven fraud suite and automated prevention network, which continuously scans and warns of discrepancies and risk signals across applications, applicants, and accounts. Paired with Bectran’s fraud suite, it brings a deeper layer of analysis to reviews—helping credit teams quickly catch and correct false positives caused by human error or incomplete data, without compromising on fraud detection accuracy.

    Alongside enhancements to the verification workflow, Bectran has improved existing reports by including summaries of detected fraudulent activity. These additions provide greater visibility into potential risk, allowing credit managers to quickly assess application status, view comprehensive audit trails and follow the progression of investigations into fraudulent activity.

    Together, these tools enable credit managers to take quicker and more confident action in their reviews—securing cash flow and keeping departments informed of all suspected fraudulent activity.

    “We recognize that it is human ingenuity and analysis working in tandem with automated systems and real-time data that outperforms any other method of fraud prevention. When skilled credit managers are given the tools and the authority to make determinations regarding credit risk, the results are indisputable,” says Ali Kidwai, Bectran’s Director of Product, Implementation & Engineering—Enterprise Portfolio Management.

    About Bectran 

    Bectran is the premier SaaS platform for Finance Departments, akin to CRM for Sales. Trusted by diverse organizations, from SMEs to Fortune 100 companies, we streamline credit processing by over 98%, reducing credit defaults and collection costs. Many businesses rely on Bectran for efficient order to cash management, achieving up to 95% cost savings. With rapid onboarding in days, our platform is hailed by credit professionals as the future of credit management. Visit Bectran.com to learn more about financial solutions for your industry.

  • MIL-OSI: XRP News: XenDex Announces $XDX Token Sale As SEC Drops Ripple (XRP) Lawsuit

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SYDNEY, Australia, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — XenDex is thrilled to announce the first AI-powered all-in-one decentralized exchange (DEX) built on XRP, combining non-custodial lending and borrowing, AI copy trading, and DAO governance in a single user-centric platform.

    Currently, excitement grows across the crypto industry amid SEC dropping the XRP Ripple Lawsuit. A new decentralized finance project, XenDex is seizing the moment to reshape the XRP Ledger ecosystem. With XRP (which is designed for speed, scalability, and community participation) gaining mainstream attention once again and institutional capital eyeing the asset class, XenDex is poised to become a major infrastructure player on the XRP Ledger and is set to redefine how users trade, earn, and govern on-chain.

    Buy $XDX Token Now

    The new Ripple based DeFi is ready to offer its native token for sale, ready to raise major funds in record time for advancement and further development of the project. The new XRP project has become the talk of the XRP community and investors are already jumping onboard, convinced XDX will deliver massive returns and position itself as XRP’s breakout altcoin by 2025.

    XenDex promotes itself as a transformative platform combining the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with an ultra-fast and low-fee XRP Ledger (XRP).

    Join XenDex Presale

    XenDex has officially revealed that the $XDX token is ready for sale through its website XenDex.net, offering early adopters first access to one of XRP’s most ambitious DeFi platforms to date. The $XDX token serves as the utility and governance currency powering all features across the XenDex ecosystem.

    The token sale begins when Ripple Labs officially concludes its long-running legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which marks a monumental moment for both XRP holders and the broader cryptocurrency industry. This has fueled optimism across the Ripple community. Institutional interest, growing liquidity, and infrastructure upgrades are aligning — and XenDex is launching at the perfect time to capture this surge in demand.

    Features of XenDex

    • Lending & Borrowing – Access liquidity or earn passive income via secure, smart contract-based loans.
    • AI Copy Trading – Automatically mirror top traders in real-time using our AI-powered copy engine.
    • Spot & Perpetual Trading – Trade instantly via an embedded AMM with zero custodial risk.
    • Liquidity Farming & Staking – Earn $XDX rewards for providing liquidity or staking tokens.
    • DAO Governance – Every $XDX token holder can vote on key upgrades, listings, and ecosystem decisions.
    • Cross-Chain Compatibility – Future support for Ethereum, BNB, Cardano, and more.

    Tokenomics at a Glance

    • Token Ticker: $XDX
    • Total Supply: 1,000,000,000
    • Presale Allocation: 300,000,000 XDX
    • Utilities: Governance, staking, platform fees, airdrops, and more.

    Buy XDX Tokens

    Smart contracts are currently undergoing comprehensive audits, and the platform will be fully non-custodial with transparent DAO-based governance. Early adopters participating in the presale will benefit from staking rewards, airdrops, and priority access to upcoming product launches.

    As the market looks toward a possible XRP ETF launch, projects like XenDex are building the infrastructure needed to support this wave of adoption. With its blend of automation, community empowerment, and high-speed execution, XenDex is positioning itself as the primary DeFi gateway for XRP-based assets.
