    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MUNICH, Germany and ATLANTA, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that the Descartes Air Messaging™ solution has streamlined the transmission of air shipment data according to the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) ONE Record messaging standard. IATA’s ONE Record initiative aims to help airlines, their partners and service providers digitize air cargo messaging services by January 1, 2026, replacing the traditional exchange of documents using Cargo-IMP and Cargo XML standards.

    “Lufthansa Cargo is committed to digitization initiatives and projects that better connect our customers to their stakeholders and that facilitate easier and faster transportation of air cargo shipments,” said Dr. Christian Lehr, Senior Director Global Fulfillment Development at Lufthansa Cargo. “The ability of Descartes’ solution to support the ONE Record standard is an important step in helping us provide customers with a more efficient, real-time data-sharing model using a single record for each shipment.”

    Designed specifically for the air cargo industry, Descartes Air Messaging™ supports a broad range of data standards and message specifications to share air shipment information across regional and global operations, including Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), such as ONE Record, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), and direct system-to-system connectivity. With more accurate and up-to-date air shipment information, the air cargo industry is better positioned to increase transparency, improve efficiency, and ultimately speed up the movement of freight.

    “We’re pleased to support the ONE Record standard,” said Scott Sangster, General Manager, Logistics Services Providers at Descartes. “Air industry customers have long relied on Descartes to provide a strong bridge with their trading partners in order to exchange air shipment information using traditional messaging standards. IATA’s ONE Record project presents a new opportunity to strengthen those relationships by supporting new ways in which air cargo data is shared and managed to streamline processes, reduce costs, and enhance the customer experience in air cargo operations.”

  • MIL-OSI: From Gold to Crypto: The Rise of Tokenized Gold and RWA Assets Amid Market Uncertainty

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As a leading global digital asset trading platform, HTX provides a secure and efficient trading environment, notably through its XAUT/USDT trading pair. In light of recent market volatility, HTX emphasizes its role in supporting investors seeking stable assets within the Real-World Assets (RWA) sector. The platform offers diverse financial instruments, enabling wider participation in crypto gold investments, designed to mitigate risks during periods of market uncertainty.

    The cryptocurrency market has recently experienced significant turbulence, with total market capitalization falling below $2.7 trillion and a 7% single-day decline on April 7, driven by U.S. policy-induced volatility. In times of heightened market uncertainty, gold traditionally serves as a recognized safe haven. With the closing price of gold stood at $3,037 per ounce, gold-backed crypto assets have similarly demonstrated resilience. Assets such as XAUT (Tether Gold), representing “crypto gold”, available on HTX, are increasingly favored by investors seeking portfolio diversification and stability.

    Macroeconomic Pressures Drive Demand for Gold and Tokenized Alternatives

    Recent U.S. policy announcements, including the imposition of a 10% “minimum benchmark tariff” on global imports and retaliatory tariffs, precipitated substantial market instability. The U.S. Nasdaq index experienced a 12% market capitalization contraction within two days, marking a significant global decline. This turbulence has extended to the crypto market, causing substantial declines in major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. (As of the release time on April 10th, tariff-related policies have been paused, leading to a rebound in the cryptocurrency market.)

    In this context, gold and tokenized gold assets, particularly XAUT, have showcased stability, reinforcing their status as secure investment tools. XAUT’s blockchain-enabled infrastructure provides immediate gold delivery and global access, streamlining investment compared to traditional gold futures.

    Increased strategic reserve demand, with global central banks accumulating over 1,000 tons of gold in three consecutive years, and institutional interest in tokenized gold for U.S. dollar credit risk mitigation, further bolster the appeal of assets like XAUT. Its transparent 1:1 physical gold backing and on-chain traceability make it a strategic asset for sovereign wealth funds and multinational corporations.

    XAUT Demonstrates Resilience Amidst Market Uncertainty

    XAUT, a gold-backed token issued by Tether, is pegged to 1 troy ounce of London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) accredited physical gold and fully backed by Tether’s gold reserves. As traditional gold prices rise, XAUT demonstrates parallel performance. According to CoinMarketCap data, when the overall crypto market plunged on April 7, XAUT fell by just 0.08%.

    Image from HTX’s data on April 7

    HTX provides access to the superior liquidity and 24/7 trading of crypto gold assets, along with their seamless integration into the DeFi ecosystem. Fractional ownership and instant transaction settlement, available through HTX, address the challenges of traditional gold investments.

    The RWA Era: Tokenization of Real-World Assets Gains Momentum

    XAUT’s resilience during market downturns underscores both gold’s safe-haven status and the accelerating development of Real-World Assets (RWA) within the crypto space. This rapidly expanding sector, encompassing stablecoins, tokenized treasury bills, and on-chain representations of traditional assets like gold and real estate, is fueled by increasing institutional and investor adoption of blockchain for enhanced liquidity and accessibility.

    Looking ahead, the RWA sector is poised for accelerated growth, unlocking substantial opportunities for traditional asset tokenization. Crypto gold assets, such as XAUT, provide crucial asset allocation stability during market fluctuations. HTX, with its secure and liquid ecosystem, serves as a crucial gateway for individual and institutional investors seeking stability and growth in an evolving market, and enter the new era of RWA assets.

    Ársreikningur Hafnarfjarðarbæjar fyrir árið 2024 var lagður fram í bæjarráði í dag 10. apríl 2025.

  • MIL-OSI: WOO X focuses on AI in 2025 roadmap, unveils Q1 report

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WOO X, a leading global crypto trading platform, has released its quarterly report focusing on artificial intelligence as a central element of its product roadmap for the remainder of 2025.

    WOO’s strategy this year centers around four key priorities:

    • Growth: Driving user acquisition and increasing trading volume across WOO X and WOOFi to fuel staking rewards and token utility.
    • Efficiency: Maintaining a lean, high-performing team structure to maximize productivity and output.
    • AI Integration: Rolling out a full suite of AI-powered tools and infrastructure to enhance user experience and support smarter trading decisions.
    • WOO App 2.0: Launching a next-generation app in the second half of the year to unify trading and investing under one seamless interface.

    Strengthening the network

    In parallel with its product development efforts, WOO is expanding partnerships across institutional players, layer-1 and layer-2 networks, and AI firms—especially in key regions like Asia and the U.S. These partnerships are crucial for scaling WOO’s global presence and embedding it deeper into the evolving crypto ecosystem.

    Toward a sustainable business model

    2024 marked a pivotal turning point in WOO’s business fundamentals, with revenue growing 3.5x year-over-year, driven by strong usage across WOO X and WOOFi. While expenses also increased during this period, WOO is now positioned to shift its focus toward sustainable, profitable growth in 2025.

    Token utility and ecosystem incentives

    Staking continues to play a central role in WOO’s ecosystem, with real yield being shared with stakers through revenue-based rewards. This creates a stronger connection between platform usage and token holder value. As trading activity increases, this feeds into WOO buybacks and additional token burns, reinforcing a deflationary dynamic.

    Looking ahead

    With several roadmap milestones planned for the first half of the year—including early releases of new AI products and a preview of WOO App 2.0—WOO’s focus remains squarely on delivering meaningful utility to its users. Community and institutional adoption continues to fuel the platform’s global reach, with over 86% of tokens already circulating.

    As Q2 begins, WOO will unveil the next phase of its “Reform WOO” initiatives, which will cover product launches, growth campaigns, and a renewed commitment to building a best-in-class app ecosystem.

  • MIL-OSI: Gate Q1 2025 Transparency Report: Sustained Leadership in Crypto Markets with Multiple Metrics Hitting New Highs

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PANAMA CITY, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading global digital asset platform Gate has released its Q1 2025 Transparency Report, showcasing comprehensive breakthroughs across multiple business segments. Core metrics reached historic highs, security infrastructure underwent full-scale upgrades, product offerings expanded significantly, and global strategies accelerated, all reflecting its robust growth momentum and a solidified market foundation.

    Trading Business Surge: Futures Trading Volume Up 31% QoQ
    In Q1 2025, Gate maintained its industry leadership with remarkable user growth and trading volume breakthroughs. The platform’s expanding user base underscored its strong market appeal and sustained growth momentum.

    Futures Trading saw explosive growth, with the number of traders and overall trading volume surging. Futures trading volume increased by approximately 31% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ).

    In Spot Trading, the platform listed over 200 new tokens, reinforcing Gate’s leading edge in asset selection and listing efficiency, providing users with a broader and higher-quality range of investment options.

    Gate newly launched the “Refer to Earn” program which integrated social media and interactive campaigns to drive user acquisition and trading activity, fostering sustainable community growth.

    Strong Tokenomics: GT Price Hits Historic High of $25.96
    This quarter, Gate’s native token GT delivered stellar performance in Q1 2025, reaching an all-time high of $25.96 on January 25, a 70% increase year-to-date. As the native utility and gas token of GateChain, GT underpins the blockchain’s fundamental transaction infrastructure. GT holders also enjoy exclusive benefits such as LaunchPool airdrops, mining rewards, and staking incentives.

    Since GateChain’s 2019 launch, GT has maintained a deflationary burn mechanism, reducing total supply by around 60% from its initial 300 million. This underscores Gate’s long-term commitment to deflationary tokenomics and reinforces GT’s value proposition for long-term holders. So far, a total of 177,089,412.23 GT has been burned, with a total burn value of approximately $408,270,578.

    Security First: Total Reserves Exceed $10.328 Billion
    Gate remains steadfast in safeguarding user assets and information security, further enhancing reserve transparency and platform security. As of January 17, 2025, Gate.io’s total reserves reached $10.328 billion, ranking Top 4 globally among crypto platforms. The reserve ratio stood at 128.58%, exceeding the 100% industry benchmark. Excess reserves totaled $2.296 billion, providing robust protection for user funds.

    Gate attached great importance to advancing its global compliance framework, including the acquisition of Coin Master, a licensed exchange in Japan, through one of its entities, further expanding its localized business in the Japanese market.

    Launchpool Upgrade: 140+ Projects Launched with $14M+ Rewards
    In Q1 2025, Gate Launchpool (formerly Startup Mining) became a premier platform for new token launches. It hosted over 140 projects, including more than 90 free airdrops with a total value exceeding $5.2 million. And the platform launched over 70 mining projects distributing more than $9.2 million in rewards.

    The platform introduced a project search function and intelligent strategy filter, enabling users to match optimal mining plans within three minutes. The HODLer Airdrop program lowered its entry threshold to 1 GT, delivering an average annualized return of 43.94%. Demonstrating its agility in responding to market trends, on the listing day of the trending token TRUMP, mining was activated immediately, and stake volume surpassed $25 million within 24 hours, attracting significant user participation and fostering a win-win environment between the platform and project.

    Gate Pilot Listed Over 1,000 Tokens, Capturing Multiple High-Yield Memes
    Leveraging its first-mover advantage and continuous innovation in the Meme sector, Gate Pilot has further solidified its leading position in the field. This quarter, Gate Pilot successfully integrated more than 10 major public blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Base. Nearly 400 tokens were listed this quarter, bringing the total number of listed tokens to over 1,000. Gate Pilot maintains a leading position in the industry and offers users a richer and more diverse range of investment options. Meanwhile, innovative tools such as “Logo Mode” and Meme Gem Index were launched, significantly enhancing users’ ability to identify tokens and market trends while lowering the barriers to Meme trading.

    With its fast listing mechanism, Gate Pilot helped users capture multiple high-yield projects ahead of the market, including quality Meme tokens like Kekius (55x), Trump (45x), YZY (46x), and Mubarak (28x). In addition, the platform partnered with projects such as MemeCity and MemeCore, actively participating in offline industry events to strengthen its leading position in the Meme sector.

    Strong Institutional Business Performance and Continuous Infrastructure Upgrades
    Gate’s institutional business achieved significant breakthroughs in both trading volume and ecosystem development. Institutional clients’ futures and brokerage business trading volumes both saw marked growth. By optimizing trading infrastructure and market depth, latency was reduced by more than 2-fold, significantly improving users’ trading efficiency. Furthermore, futures liquidity improved, and the number of spot and futures market makers increased.

    Additionally, Gate introduced the new Fireblocks Off-Exchange solution, offering institutional clients more flexible fund management options. Through joint marketing campaigns with over 20 partners, Gate further expanded its professional client base and strengthened the building of its premium user community, further consolidating Gate’s leading position in the global cryptocurrency field.

    Significant Growth in Quantitative Investment, Copy Trading Volume Soared 780%
    This quarter, Gate achieved remarkable growth in copy trading, bot strategies, and ETF products. In terms of copy trading, the launch of the Prometheus automatic risk control system created a safer trading environment for users; spot copy trading volume surged by 780%, and the highest yield from a leading user reached 890x, offering users opportunities for excess returns.

    Robot products, through continuous optimization of the Ultra AI strategy and intelligent algorithms, have generated over $500 million in cumulative trading revenue for users. The newly launched BotsLive streaming column and weekly strategy recommendations significantly boosted user engagement; the number of new strategies created increased by 404% quarter-on-quarter, and the number of users creating new strategies grew by 193%.

    The ETF business also performed strongly, with the platform supporting over 200 ETF leveraged tokens, maintaining a leading position in the industry. By the end of the quarter, ETF trading volume had increased by 40% quarter-on-quarter, and the number of participating users had grown by 197%.

    Partnering with Top Players to Build Global Blockchain Influence
    In the first quarter of 2025, Gate made simultaneous advances in global brand expansion and blockchain investment. Gate.io announced its official sponsorship of the Oracle Red Bull Racing team in F1, initiating a multi-year strategic partnership. This collaboration is not only a powerful alliance between two industry leaders but also marks the expansion of blockchain technology from the race track to the global stage, promoting Web3 and digital finance concepts to a broader audience through a world-class sports platform.

    Meanwhile, Gate Ventures joined the newly established Morph Venture Capital Collective alliance, further expanding its blockchain investment landscape. In addition, Gate Ventures invested $20 million in the BNB Incubation Alliance (BIA), jointly initiated by BNB Chain and Binance Labs, demonstrating its firm commitment to advancing the Web3 ecosystem and nurturing the next generation of blockchain innovation projects. By empowering projects with capital, resources, and networks, Gate is taking concrete actions to help bring blockchain technology into the mainstream.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • The Tectum Labs innovation hub aims to focus on business tokenization and Web3 growth, supporting projects in blockchain, DeFi, and NFTs with services like tokenomics, tech development and marketing.
    • Tectum Labs integrates Tectum’s tools: high-speed blockchain, SoftNote Wallet, and SoftNote payments; future tools include Tectum SDK and ePoS.
    • Scalable Web3 projects will also benefit from mentorship, investor connections, and exchange listing assistance. 
    • The announcement aligns with Tectum’s mission to bridge tradFi and DeFi, following Tectum 4.0 mainnet and SoftNote success.

    Dubai, UAE, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — – Tectum, the high-performance blockchain innovator, has officially launched Tectum Labs, an innovation hub focused on business tokenization and supporting projects in the Web3 space. Positioned as a hub for blockchain innovation, Tectum Labs aims to demonstrate that any business can be tokenized, offering comprehensive services to help projects scale in blockchain, DeFi, and NFT ecosystems.

    The launch underscores Tectum Lab’s mission to act as an end-to-end tokenization suite built for real-world impact – unlocking liquidity, streamlining operations, and expanding access to global capital markets. 

    Tectum Labs provides structured support across the project lifecycle, beginning with in-depth evaluations to assess innovation, business potential, and team capabilities. It then offers full-cycle tokenomics development to create sustainable token models, alongside technical build-outs for web platforms, mobile apps, and custom software solutions. Audited smart contract development is also available to support staking mechanisms, DAO governance, and token issuance across multiple ecosystems. 

    Additionally, go-to-market support is included, covering ICO/IDO planning, whitelist onboarding, and investor KYC.  

    “Tectum Labs is about making tokenization practical and accessible for businesses looking to enter the decentralized economy,” said Alexander Guseff, Founder & CEO of Tectum. “We’re providing a full suite of tools – high-speed blockchain infrastructure, sustainable tokenomics design, and real-world payment solutions like SoftNote – alongside expert mentorship and investor access to transform ideas into scalable Web3 projects. By building on Tectum 4.0’s performance and SoftNote’s ability to simplify crypto transactions, we’re enabling companies to adopt blockchain seamlessly and drive measurable growth.”

    Tectum Labs caters to a wide spectrum of clients, from traditional businesses to fintech startups to asset managers and RWA tokenization projects, offering custom Web3 strategies for real-world scalability. 

    Leveraging Tectum’s blockchain infrastructure, Tectum Labs integrates the high-speed  Tectum 4.0 Layer-1 blockchain for scalable smart contract deployment in DeFi, NFTs, and gaming, the SoftNote Wallet for secure storage and dApp integration, and SoftNote – a gas-free, borderless payment system ideal for merchant adoption. Cross-chain compatibility with EVM networks like Ethereum, BSC, and Solana ensures flexibility and broader developer support. 

    Projects are also granted access to Tectum’s in-house tools including the upcoming Tectum SDK for dApp creation, ePOS crypto terminals for retail, and P2P exchange platforms currently in development. AI-powered optimization tools will further help projects refine go-to-market strategy, audience targeting, and feature optimization. 

    With its mentorship program and curated investor framework, Tectum Labs also helps projects attract capital, form strategic partnerships, and grow their communities from early user testing to mainnet traction.

  • MIL-OSI: GPTBots Showcases Cutting-Edge Enterprise AI Solutions at The MarTech Summit Asia 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    HONG KONG, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GPTBots.ai, a leading enterprise AI agent platform, proudly showcased its cutting-edge AI solutions at The MarTech Summit Asia 2025, held in Singapore. The event brought together senior executives and decision-makers from diverse industries, all seeking innovative technologies to address their unique business challenges. GPTBots stood out as a trusted partner, offering tailored AI applications that empower enterprises to streamline operations, enhance customer experiences, and drive growth.

    1. Enterprise Challenges, Tailored AI Solutions
    At the summit, GPTBots engaged with senior leaders from some of the most prominent organizations in the region, each presenting specific challenges that required advanced, customized AI solutions. The discussions highlighted a key trend: off-the-shelf AI products often fail to meet the complex, unique needs of enterprise clients, making tailored solutions essential for success.

    Among the many insightful conversations, three key scenarios stood out:

    • A Leading Travel Metasearch Company in Eastern Europe and Central Asia: The regional head for Kazakhstan shared their vision of creating an AI-powered digital travel advisor. Their goal is to integrate their company’s mascot as an interactive digital persona, enhancing customer engagement and loyalty. GPTBots’ expertise in building AI agents with rich, personalized interfaces makes this vision achievable.
    • One of Southeast Asia’s Largest Conglomerates: A senior representative from their digital hub expressed the need for a highly automated marketing and customer data analytics solution. With their current systems lacking automation and advanced data capabilities, GPTBots, in collaboration with EngageLab, demonstrated how its platform could deliver an end-to-end solution to streamline operations and unlock the full potential of their customer data.
    • A Global Innovation Leader in Digital Experiences: A regional digital experience manager described their challenge of optimizing website content workflows across multiple countries. Their current process for extracting, localizing, formatting, and publishing content is entirely manual. GPTBots’ AI-powered solutions offer the potential to automate and accelerate this workflow, significantly improving efficiency and consistency across markets.

    2. Why GPTBots Stands Out
    The MarTech Summit Asia 2025 proved to be a platform where enterprises came with specific challenges and questions, seeking actionable solutions to unlock the power of AI in their organizations. GPTBots distinguished itself by offering:

    • Tailored AI Applications: Unlike generic solutions, GPTBots specializes in creating customized AI agents that address the unique needs of enterprise clients, from automating workflows to enhancing customer engagement.
    • Enterprise-Grade Capabilities: With features like multi-language support, knowledge base integration, and seamless system compatibility, GPTBots ensures its solutions are scalable, secure, and ready to meet the demands of global businesses.
    • Proven Expertise: GPTBots’ ability to collaborate with industry leaders and co-create solutions for complex use cases underscores its position as a trusted partner in the AI space.

    3. Driving the Future of Marketing Technology
    As the MarTech Summit Asia 2025 concluded, it became evident that the future of marketing lies in the seamless integration of AI into every aspect of the customer journey. GPTBots is proud to be at the forefront of this evolution, helping businesses across industries harness the power of AI to drive efficiency, innovation, and growth.

    For enterprises seeking to transform their operations with AI, GPTBots offers not just technology, but a partnership in navigating the complexities of digital transformation.

  • MIL-OSI: XRP News: XploraDEX $XPL Presale Round Enters Final Countdown—Hard Cap Nears as Demand Surges

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ZURICH, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The race is nearly over. XploraDEX, the first AI-powered decentralized exchange on the XRP Ledger, has officially entered the final countdown phase of its $XPL Token Presale. With the soft cap already shattered and the hard cap almost within reach, investors now have just a limited window to claim their piece of what many are calling XRPL’s most promising DeFi launch to date.

    The $XPL presale has ignited serious momentum across the crypto community. Backed by a product that blends real-time AI trade execution, predictive market intelligence, and native XRPL speed, XploraDEX has positioned itself as the most advanced trading protocol in the XRP ecosystem—and investors have taken notice.

    As of this release, over 85% of the hard cap has been filled. Whales have begun consolidating sizable positions while retail investors scramble to secure last-minute allocations before the final tranche closes. This isn’t just about getting in early—it’s about securing utility in a protocol that’s rewriting how DeFi functions on XRPL.

    PARTICIPATE IN $XPL PRESALE

    The platform’s core value lies in its AI-driven infrastructure. Traders will be able to automate trades, manage portfolios with intelligent rebalancing, and receive market signals that learn from historical and real-time data. XploraDEX doesn’t just enable trading—it enhances it through machine learning, adaptive modeling, and fully autonomous execution.

    $XPL, the native token of the platform, provides utility across the ecosystem. From unlocking AI features and trading discounts to staking, governance, and early access to future upgrades, $XPL is the gateway to participating in the intelligent DeFi movement on XRPL.

    $XPL PreSale Information

    Token Name: XploraDEX

    Total Supply: 500,000,000

    Presale Allocation: First Come, First Serve!

    DEX Listing: 25% Higher

    Liquidity Pools: Launching immediately after TGE!

    The XPL Token Presale is already attracting major interest, early investors will gain first-mover advantages!

    Buy $XPL Token

    The development team has confirmed that once the presale ends, the token will be listed on major XRPL DEXs at a higher launch price. Additionally, staking, liquidity mining, and the first phase of the AI dashboard will go live shortly after, giving early supporters immediate access to the tech and yield opportunities.

    This final stage of the presale represents the last chance for investors to buy $XPL at ground-floor pricing. With the hard cap just around the corner, the urgency is real, and the opportunity is shrinking by the hour.

    Don’t miss your chance to be early to one of the most utility-rich and intelligent protocols on the XRP Ledger.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PR No: C3329C  

    Statement from STMicroelectronics Supervisory Board

    Amsterdam, April 10, 2025 – The Supervisory Board of STMicroelectronics N.V. wishes to make 3 comments on statements made in the Italian press on April 9th:

    Accusations on the personal transactions made by the 2 members of the Company’s Managing Board on the eve of earnings releases are false. Stock sales done during the Company’s blackout period were made by the Company’s stock plan administrator, through an automatic procedure, to abide by Swiss tax rules for the Managing Board members and were legal and compliant with Company policy. On the class action under way, the Supervisory Board reviewed the processes and believes that the Company has good defense against the allegations.

    The Supervisory Board unanimously approved the details of a Company-wide program to reshape the Company’s manufacturing footprint, accelerating ST’s wafer-fab capacity to 300mm silicon and 200mm silicon carbide, announced to the markets last year on October 31st and this year on January 30th. This plan allows for a major improvement of the competitiveness of the Company.

    The Supervisory Board expresses its renewed support to Jean-Marc Chery, Lorenzo Grandi, and the management team, notably in their capacity to execute the transformation during challenging times for the semiconductor industry.

    About STMicroelectronics
    At ST, we are 50,000 creators and makers of semiconductor technologies mastering the semiconductor supply chain with state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. An integrated device manufacturer, we work with more than 200,000 customers and thousands of partners to design and build products, solutions, and ecosystems that address their challenges and opportunities, and the need to support a more sustainable world. Our technologies enable smarter mobility, more efficient power and energy management, and the wide-scale deployment of cloud-connected autonomous things. We are on track to be carbon neutral in all direct and indirect emissions (scopes 1 and 2), product transportation, business travel, and employee commuting emissions (our scope 3 focus), and to achieve our 100% renewable electricity sourcing goal by the end of 2027.

    Press Release

    • Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) private wireless ensures fast and reliable payment transactions and seamless network connections.
    • Quick verification and seamless payment solution enable customers to enjoy events without delays.

    10 April 2025
    Espoo, Finland – Nokia and Digita today announced that they are expanding their partnership with CoreGo, a company specializing in payment and access control solutions for events, to provide secure and reliable data transmission for large Finnish and international events. This collaboration has enabled multiple deployments in the last two years, benefited sports and festival organizers with reliable connectivity, and significantly improved the customer experience of over 2 million event attendees in Europe.

    The CoreGo POS combined with Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC)’s private wireless network enables event organizers to easily utilize and move the private network as needed to enable seamless management of onsite payments in venues. Deployed by Digita, the private 5G network ensures real-time, uninterrupted data transfer for critical event systems such as inventory management, payment terminals, access control, and ticket validation that meet the requirements of modern businesses and dynamic environments. The solution ensures reliability, security, and scalability to meet the needs of large events.

    Private networks have proven to be a crucial technology for large public events where real-time and uninterrupted data transfer is critical. They support the success of events by enabling efficient electronic ticket sales and verification, reliable payment transactions, smooth use of digital signage, and secure access control. Additionally, private networks enable advanced real-time data analytics, interactive fan engagement, critical staff communications, and geo-location-based services that further enhance the overall experience for guests.

    “Our goal is to improve the customer experience and support the organization and event workers in the best possible way by enabling real-time situational awareness. Delivered through our long-term partners, Nokia and Digita, the private wireless solution enabled a first-class service experience, with access control and payment playing a crucial role,” said Hannu Elomaa, CEO and Founder at CoreGo.

    “We are proud that CoreGo chose us as their partner to implement critical event networks in Finland and internationally. This agreement strengthens our expertise in delivering high-quality, scalable, and reliable network solutions, supporting our strategy to expand into the Nordics. The Nokia technology ensures that event data transfer works reliably and efficiently,” said Pekka Koskinen, Head of Sales, Private Networks at Digita.

    “Private 5G networks deployed with powerful edge cloud processing capabilities are transforming the event industry. Event visitors now have secure access to well-connected services from the moment they purchase their ticket to when they depart the venue. We have successfully collaborated with Digita and CoreGo on multiple projects, and it is great to see that private 5G technology proves its capability in securing reliable data transmission at large events,” said Michael Aspinall, Head of Sales, Enterprise Campus Edge, Europe at Nokia

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

  • MIL-OSI: Hola Prime Expands into On-Exchange Cryptos, Bringing Centralized Exchange Access to Crypto Traders

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, NY, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hola Prime, a leading prop trading firm, has been steadily climbing the charts of popularity and is set for further expansion. Hola Prime is introducing on-exchange cryptocurrency trading, giving traders direct access to Centralized Exchange-sourced pricing and a deep liquidity pool. The move underscores Hola Prime’s commitment to transparency and aims to address inefficiencies in the Forex CFD space where traders face very high spreads and get access to trade with only a limited choice of mainstream Cryptos.

    Unlike traditional asset classes, the On-Exchange cryptocurrency markets operate 24/7, offering traders around-the-clock opportunities to capitalize on price movements. However, trading cryptos often involves more funds due to extremely low leverages, and very high risks due to price discrepancies. By integrating on-exchange access with Prop trading, Hola Prime ensures that traders get access to funds, are able to trade cryptos directly from the Exchange, without hidden markups or artificial spreads. Not just this, the leverage available on these cryptos will be higher than the traditional cryptos, because the feed comes directly from the Exchange.

    There will be a big list of 100+ cryptocurrencies available to trade, giving traders access to multiple altcoins. The firm’s model eliminates unnecessary intermediaries, allowing for tight spreads, faster execution, and deeper market access.

    The Evaluation models will be similar to that in their forex division, with both 1-Step and 2-Step options. Few of the major Cryptocurrencies shall continue to be offered in the forex division. However, the leverage available on these cryptos and other altcoins will be higher in the On Exchange crypto segment, have tighter spreads and hence improved risk management.

    Transparency has been a cornerstone of Hola Prime’s approach, and the firm is reinforcing this commitment through the Price Transparency Report. This report will compare Hola Prime’s crypto pricing with broader market benchmarks, ensuring traders have a clear comparison of Hola Prime’s pricing with industry Benchmarks.

    To further support traders, Hola Prime will also launch a Customised Performance Analysis Report for those who do not pass trading challenges. This breakdown will provide insights into trade execution, risk management, and areas for improvement, helping traders refine their strategies for future success.

    “Crypto trading is an increasingly important part of the global financial ecosystem, and it’s critical that traders have access to fair, transparent markets,” said Somesh Kapuria, CEO of Hola Prime. “By bringing institutional-level pricing and execution to the prop trading space, we’re ensuring that our traders can compete on a level playing field.”

    Sumedha Sharma, CFO of Hola Prime, added: “This isn’t just about adding another asset class. It’s about giving traders the best possible tools to succeed. Our goal is to remove unnecessary frictions, provide better data, and ultimately help traders make more informed decisions.”

    Hola Prime’s on-exchange crypto trading segment is set to launch soon, marking a significant shift in how prop traders engage with these digital assets in decentralized markets. This initiative will address many concerns of crypto traders, by bringing in greater transparency and efficiency in the crypto trading space.

    Capgemini and ISAI launch ISAI Cap Venture II

    2ndVC fund builds on success of the first, dedicated to innovative startup collaboration

    Paris, April 10, 2025 – Following the success of ISAI Cap Venture I, ISAI and Capgemini announce the launch of ISAI Cap Venture II, a renewed investment vehicle dedicated to supporting high-potential B2B startups and scale-ups worldwide. This second iteration of the fund, sized at €80 million, continues to combine ISAI’s deep venture capital expertise with Capgemini Ventures’ ability to generate business synergies between startups and the global Capgemini ecosystem.

    Since its inception in 2019, ISAI Cap Venture I has built a diverse international portfolio of 15 companies, co-investing alongside top-tier international VC firms. Examples of key investments include Alation (enabling data governance strategy, data trust and automated business glossary), Zelros (transforming insurance distribution), and Copado (built natively on the Salesforce platform, enabling faster, error-free releases with continuous integration and delivery technologies).

    These investments align to Capgemini’s strategic priorities, helping to enrich the Group’s portfolio of offers and more specifically offers by industry, as well as strengthen partner relationships. This has allowed Capgemini to build joint go-to-markets, further fostering new innovations, ideas, and solutions – to guide clients through their business and technology transformations.

    The fund also invested in next-gen technologies that will shape the future of business, such as Liquid AI, a new generative AI model called Liquid Neural Networks (LNNs) that is effective, sustainable and cost-efficient, or Pasqal, a pioneer in quantum computing.

    A proven model of corporate and VC collaboration
    As the first fund, ISAI Cap Venture II will take minority stakes (€1-5million tickets) in companies that have reached a maturity level allowing for joint commercial approaches with Capgemini. These investments will be made in Series A up to growth-stage, ensuring alignment with international VC players, predominantly from Europe and the United States. This corporate-VC model has proven highly effective, demonstrating that a well-structured partnership between a venture capital firm and a corporate partner can accelerate growth.

    “Our first fund demonstrated that startups can benefit from a corporate partner while maintaining the flexibility they need to grow. With ISAI Cap Venture II, we reaffirm our commitment to backing the most innovative technology startups and helping them scale with Capgemini’s business partnerships,” said Jean-David Chamboredon, Chief Executive Officer, ISAI.

    “Our unique model with ISAI has established Capgemini Ventures as a trusted player in the VC ecosystem. By launching ISAI Cap Venture II, we will continue to develop joint value propositions with selected startups, thus accelerating and enabling the adoption of the most promising digital innovations and emerging technologies for Capgemini clients,” commented Lucia Sinapi-Thomas, Executive Director, Capgemini Ventures.

    Expanding ISAI’s CVC activity
    ISAI has now raised over €240 million for corporate-backed investment funds, reinforcing its role as a leading venture capital firm collaborating with strategic partners. With two flagship corporate sponsors, including Capgemini, ISAI CVC activity is carrying on demonstrating its ability to bridge the gap between startups and major industrial players.

  • MIL-OSI: Prospectus updates

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

                                                                                                              Lysaker, 10 April 2025

    Storebrand Asset Management has resolved to change the fund name from Storebrand Global ESG Plus to Storebrand Global Plus, and the name change is largely due to new guidelines from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).

    The guidelines apply to the use of ‘ESG’ or sustainability-related terms in fund names, and the new guidelines are intended to ensure that the designations are accurate, fair and in line with the funds’ actual investment strategy.

    Although, the fund’s investment strategy and sustainability classification (SFDR) remain unchanged, the fund focuses mainly on the environmental aspect (E), as opposed to ESG in general. Hence, removing the ESG term in the name, appear reasonable to avoid expectations of an equal focus on the environment, social conditions and governance (ESG).

    The name change also ensures consistency with similar funds in the Nordic region and international markets, as well as alignment with Storebrands similar fund mandates registered with other domiciles.

    Some other non-material changes related to information that is subject to annual update are also reflected in the updated prospectus for Storebrand Global Plus, and the four other Storebrand funds available on Nasdaq Copenhagen, enclosed herein.

    The updated documents are effective on 10 April, and the undersigned can be contacted for any additional information.
