  • MIL-OSI: BexBack: Double Your Deposit, Get $50 Bonus, and Trade with 100x Leverage – No KYC Required!

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Bitcoin continues to trade below $85,000 and analysts predict that the crypto market will remain volatile, holding spot positions may not generate short-term profits. Recent economic shifts, including policy announcements such as President Trump’s tariff decisions, have brought some stabilization, but the volatility remains. For investors seeking to maximize returns in these uncertain times, BexBack Exchange offers a powerful solution. With 100x leverage, a 100% deposit bonus, and a $50 welcome bonus for new users, BexBack empowers traders to seize market opportunities. And with no KYC requirements, it provides a seamless and efficient way to trade.

    What Is 100x Leverage and How Does It Work?

    Simply put, 100x leverage allows you to open larger trading positions with less capital. For example:

    Suppose the Bitcoin price is $60,000 that day, and you open a long contract with 1 BTC. After using 100x leverage, the transaction amount is equivalent to 100 BTC.

    One day later, if the price rises to $63,000, your profit will be (63,000 – 60,000) * 100 BTC / 60,000 = 5 BTC, a yield of up to 500%.

    With BexBack’s deposit bonus

    BexBack offers a 100% deposit bonus. If the initial investment is 2 BTC, the profit will increase to 10 BTC, and the return on investment will double to 1000%.

    Note: Although leveraged trading can magnify profits, you also need to be wary of liquidation risks.

    How Does the 100% Deposit Bonus Work?
    The deposit bonus from BexBack cannot be directly withdrawn but can be used to open larger positions and increase potential profits. Additionally, during significant market fluctuations, the bonus can serve as extra margin, effectively reducing the risk of liquidation.

  • MIL-OSI: VC VentureX Highlights Emerging Trends in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) for 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    VC Venture X Logo

    LONDON, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to develop, 2025 is expected to introduce a wave of innovation focused on user empowerment, smart automation, and deeper integration across blockchain ecosystems. Backed by firms such as VC VentureX, a prominent Web3 venture capital firm, new platforms are emerging that aim to make DeFi more accessible and reward-driven.

    AI-Powered Automation in DeFi

    One of the most notable trends in 2025 is the growing use of AI to enhance automation in DeFi platforms. By introducing smart tools for trading, risk management, and yield optimization, AI is helping users navigate complex protocols more easily. These systems can react in real-time to market conditions, reducing the need for manual intervention and increasing efficiency for both new and seasoned participants.

    MEV-Based Yield Opportunities Gain Traction

    Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) is also receiving renewed attention as a powerful source of yield. Platforms like ZENMEV, which recently received a $140 million strategic investment from VC VentureX, are leveraging MEV events—such as arbitrage and transaction reordering—to benefit users directly.

    ZENMEV’s Zenbots Shield engine identifies and captures MEV opportunities, redistributing the profits to stakers and liquidity providers through transparent and automated processes. This method contrasts with older models that allowed MEV gains to be dominated by a handful of sophisticated actors. VC VentureX’s support signals strong confidence in this MEV-sharing approach and its potential to transform the DeFi rewards landscape.

    Cross-Chain Integration Accelerates

    Another key trend for 2025 is the expansion of DeFi protocols across multiple blockchains. As interoperability tools mature, users can more easily move assets between ecosystems to access broader financial opportunities. ZENMEV plans to expand its MEV infrastructure to additional chains, enabling users to benefit from a wider range of staking and yield options.

    Toward a Regulation-Ready Future

    The industry is also seeing more platforms prepare for potential regulation by building features such as identity verification, auditing systems, and transaction reporting. These changes reflect a growing focus on trust, security, and scalability. ZENMEV and other VC VentureX portfolio companies are aligning with industry standards while continuing to prioritize decentralization and user rewards.

    Simplified Interfaces for Mainstream Access

    Improved user experience is another trend gaining momentum. DeFi platforms are simplifying dashboards, staking processes, and earnings reports to help users better understand where their profits come from. ZENMEV, for instance, is working on UI improvements that make it easier to track MEV-based rewards and make informed decisions in real time.

    Looking Ahead

    With trends like MEV-based yield distribution, AI-powered tools, and cross-chain connectivity shaping the market, DeFi in 2025 is on a path toward wider participation and smarter reward systems. VC VentureX’s investment in forward-thinking platforms like ZENMEV highlights a broader shift toward sustainable and user-focused innovation in decentralized finance.

    About VC VentureX

    VC VentureX is a leading venture capital firm specializing in Web3, blockchain, and decentralized finance. The firm supports visionary founders through strategic investments, mentorship, and a strong global network. With a focus on long-term value creation, VC VentureX backs projects that are shaping the future of open financial systems.

    About ZENMEV

    ZENMEV is an innovative DeFi platform that transforms Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) opportunities into user rewards. Using its proprietary Zenbots Shield engine, ZENMEV captures MEV events such as arbitrage and reordering, redistributing profits to stakers and liquidity providers. The platform is focused on transparency, scalability, and delivering real yield to the broader DeFi community.

  • MIL-OSI: Striim Unveils Groundbreaking AI-Powered Data Governance with Real-Time Compliance on Google Cloud

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALO ALTO, Calif., April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Enterprises face an emerging challenge: how to maintain control over sensitive data as it traverses data estates, domains, and systems without violating regulatory policies or disrupting operations. At Google Cloud Next 2025, Striim is showcasing how Sentinel AI and Sherlock AI—two governance AI agents powered by Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform—help organizations detect, tag, and safeguard sensitive data in motion, reducing exposure risks, avoiding penalties and reputational damage, and supporting compliance in a continuous, ongoing manner.

    Before businesses can manage sensitive data effectively, they need visibility into where the data resides. Sherlock AI provides transparency by identifying sensitive data within datasets prior to sharing or moving the data through integration or streaming pipelines in enterprise data stores as well as third-party-managed databases and SaaS environments. This helps organizations assess potential risks and apply the appropriate governance measures proactively.

    “Smart AI and Analytics require data integration and sharing. Data governance starts with knowing where your sensitive information is,” said Alok Pareek, co-founder and Executive Vice President of Engineering and Products at Striim. “The new AI-based Sherlock agent eliminates blind spots by discovering sensitive data prior to data sharing or movement, helping businesses reduce risk before it ever becomes a problem. But since data doesn’t stay in one place, Striim’s Sentinel AI agent complements Sherlock by protecting sensitive information as it moves through enterprise data pipelines in real time.”

    Once data is in motion, Sentinel AI continuously analyzes live data streams to detect and protect sensitive information as it moves—automating encryption, masking, and compliance enforcement in real time. Using Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, it detects sensitive data anywhere in the pipeline events, even if misplaced or mislabeled—something rules-based controls can easily miss. Therefore, it automatically prevents exposure and helps businesses meet GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA-related data governance requirements without adding complexity.

    With Sherlock AI and Sentinel AI, Striim is giving businesses the speed, safety, and accuracy they need to secure their data pipelines in real time. These AI-powered agents work together to proactively mitigate risk, helping organizations stay compliant and in control of their data.

    To see Striim 5.0 in action, visit Striim at booth #3067 at Google Cloud Next in Las Vegas from April 9-11.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Dover, DE, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BIMA (https://bima.money/), a DeFi ecosystem, today announced the launch of its mainnet, enabling both professional and retail investors to access permissionless institution-grade yield strategies globally without selling their Bitcoin. The platform introduces USBD, a capital-efficient stablecoin over-collateralized by Bitcoin derivatives, offering investors new options for generating yield while maintaining their BTC positions.

    “Today’s mainnet launch represents the culmination of our mission to create a better solution for Bitcoin holders,” said Sid Sridhar founder and CEO of BIMA. “Now live and accessible to all users, our platform enables BTC holders to borrow at rates of just 1-2% while earning yields of 12% or higher – addressing the inefficiency of traditional lending markets where borrowing costs typically exceed returns.”

    With the mainnet now operational, investors can immediately access BIMA’s ecosystem of vault strategies offering varying risk-reward profiles. These range from delta-neutral strategies earning 15-20% APY to higher-volatility options capable of generating between 30-60% APY. Users can deposit Bitcoin directly or stake their BTC to receive liquid-staking derivatives (LSTs), then place these assets into vaults to mint USBD at a 150% minimum collateralization ratio.

    As a U.S.-based company entering the market with a fully operational platform, BIMA’s mainnet launch delivers a comprehensive security infrastructure featuring over-collateralization safeguards and a stability pool that efficiently resolves under-collateralized positions. The platform integrates with major wallets, including Ledger, MetaMask, and XVerse, allowing users to start minting USBD through a straightforward five-step process.

  • MIL-OSI: Majority of DPU/SmartNIC Shipments Driven by Two Customers, Reports Crehan Research

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN FRANCISCO, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The DPU/SmartNIC Ethernet market posted very strong growth in 2024, with annual revenues and shipments increasing by nearly 30%, according to a recent report from Crehan Research. Cloud service providers remained the main driver of growth, with just two of these companies, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, accounting for most of the deployments – see accompanying figure. Other cloud providers including Alibaba, CoreWeave, Google, IBM, Oracle and xAI comprised most of the remaining shipments.

    “DPU/SmartNIC adoption has, so far, been mostly within companies that rent server capabilities to customers, and has not yet seen broad penetration into markets beyond this,” said Seamus Crehan, president of Crehan Research. “However, we are seeing new innovations, use cases and deployment models such as DPU-enabled Ethernet switches and CPU replacement, which should expand the customer base.”

    In correlation with a couple of cloud service providers comprising most of the market’s shipments, Crehan’s report shows that the majority of the DPU/SmartNIC volumes are self-built, as opposed to merchant-built. But Crehan said that is beginning to change. “Self-built DPUs/SmartNICs continue to account for the majority of market revenues and shipments, but we saw much higher growth from the merchant-built segment, as adoption of these products broadens beyond the largest few cloud service providers,” he said.

  • MIL-OSI: Building a Team for Growth: The Bank of Glen Burnie Promotes Jonathan Shearin to Chief Lending Officer and Names Jeff Welch Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    GLEN BURNIE, Md., April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Bank of Glen Burnie®, a wholly owned subsidiary of Glen Burnie Bancorp (NASDAQ: GLBZ), announced today the expansion of its lending team to position the Bank to carry out its growth strategy focused on growing the commercial banking and lending portfolios. Jonathan Shearin, who previously served in the role of vice president and director of commercial banking, was promoted to the role of chief lending officer effective March 13, 2025. Jeff Welch was named executive vice president and chief credit officer effective March 31, 2025.

    “Jonathan hit the ground running and has made a significant impact to our loan portfolio since joining the bank in 2024,” said Mark C. Hanna, President and CEO. “Jonathan is out in our community every day building relationships in Anne Arundel County and the surrounding areas while constantly looking for opportunities to help local businesses obtain the financial expertise and tools they need to grow their own businesses. His energy and leadership, combined with his early success, made him a natural fit to assume the role of chief lending officer. In his new role, Shearin will be focused on driving sales and revenue to maximize return on capital invested in loans and achieve profitability. He will be tasked with helping to develop the Bank’s lending strategy, building relationships, supervising our commercial lending team, and overseeing loan production and growth objectives.”

    “I’m honored to step into this role and lead our lending team as we continue to support the businesses and communities we serve,” said Shearin. “Our focus remains on building strong client relationships, providing tailored financing strategies, and driving sustainable growth for the businesses and communities we serve. I look forward to working alongside our team to strengthen our market position and create new opportunities for long-term success.”

    As the Bank builds out its leadership team tasked with growing commercial loans and deposits, Jeff Welch joins The Bank of Glen Burnie in the newly created role of chief credit officer and will also serve as executive vice president. A seasoned banking executive, Welch brings more than 40 years of progressive risk management, lending, and sales management experience to lead efforts to effectively manage credit risk and help ensure the soundness of the Bank’s loan portfolio. His responsibilities as chief credit officer will include evaluating loan applications, regulatory compliance related to credit risk, and overseeing credit administration.

    Welch most recently served as executive vice president and chief credit officer at Burke & Herbert Bank, headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, where he was responsible for the Credit Risk Management and Loan Administration Divisions. Welch has spent the entirety of his banking career in progressive leadership roles at financial institutions located in the Baltimore and Washington D.C. corridor, bringing a wealth of expertise about the banking environment, the economy and the credit needs of the area.

    Welch holds a Master of Business Administration in finance from Marymount University and is a graduate of The Pennsylvania State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in operations management.

    “We are thrilled to welcome Jeff to The Bank of Glen Burnie,” remarked Hanna. “His proven track record in developing and implementing strategic plans at all levels combined with his relationship building skills will prove invaluable to us as we look to grow and thrive as we set the pace for growth during our next 75 years of community banking in Anne Arundel County. Jeff’s recent retirement from Burke & Herbert Bank presented us with an opportunity to recruit a highly experienced chief credit officer with extensive experience in credit policy and risk management/portfolio oversight in addition to sales management, financial analysis, and project management expertise. Jeff is well suited to help shape The Bank of Glen Burnie’s strategic direction. We have built a stellar lending team, and I am confident that together Jonathan and Jeff will lead this team to new heights and help The Bank of Glen Burnie significantly expand our loan portfolio while successfully managing risk.”

    “I am excited to join The Bank of Glen Burnie at a time when we are poised to execute our strategic planning lending objectives focused on growing our loan portfolio,” said Welch. “We have an outstanding lending team, and I look forward to working together to build new relationships in the community and to meet the credit needs of local business owners in our market.”

    SAN DIEGO, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LPL Financial LLC announced today that father and son financial advisors Patrick Trimp, CFP®, and Jack Trimp, ChFC®, of Trimp Wealth Management have joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and custodial platforms. They reported serving approximately $220 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets* and join LPL from Nations Financial Group, Inc.

    Based in Idaho Falls, Idaho, Patrick transitioned to the wealth management industry in 1999 after a decade of service in the U.S. Navy, during which he completed nuclear power training and was assigned to the USS Hammerhead, a fast-attack submarine. It was during his time in the Navy that Patrick was inspired to pivot his career, marrying his background in math with the intrigue of financial strategy.

    In 2008, he launched Trimp Wealth Management with the goal of helping his clients achieve their financial objectives through education, strategic planning and a commitment to their success. Jack joined his father’s practice in 2019, and together, they take a client-centered approach to helping their clients build sound financial futures.

    “Being able to add value for my clients’ financial wellness is the best part of the job,” Patrick said. “We’re here to guide our clients in making smart and strategic decisions about their finances and help them pursue their goals. We get to know our clients on a deeply personal level, and we are proud that most of our clients come to us through referrals.”

    It was the pair’s desire to provide a more elevated and streamlined client experience that led them to LPL Financial.

    “We spent more than three years looking for a new partner, so you could say we really did our due diligence. In the end, the decision to partner with LPL was the obvious choice,” Jack said. “What really stood out to us was LPL’s integrated and open architecture platform where we can access everything with a single sign-on as well as their ongoing commitment to meeting the evolving needs of advisors. We are confident that making the move to LPL is the right decision for our business and our clients.”

    The Trimps are active in their community and believe strongly in the importance of volunteering. Patrick is an active member in his church and Jack served as a missionary to South Africa, Uganda and South Sudan, working in refugee camps with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), a non-profit Christian organization.

    Scott Posner, LPL Executive Vice President, Business Development, said, “We welcome Patrick and Jack to the LPL community and wish them success with this next chapter of their business. As their partner, we are committed to delivering innovative technology, integrated platforms and strategic resources to help them seamlessly run their practice and provide an elevated client experience.

  • MIL-OSI: Immunefi Partners with Runtime Verification and Integrates World-Class Formal Verification into Magnus

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Singapore, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Immunefi, the leading onchain security platform protecting over $190 billion in user funds, today announces Runtime Verification (RV) as the first official partner of its Magnus platform. RV is bridging its world-class formal verification services directly to Magnus, enhancing the platform’s unified security offering for complete onchain protection.

    Onchain security today is fragmented, siloed, and often dependent on manual workflows, leaving protocols exposed to threats. Magnus changes this by unifying every layer of the onchain security stack into one seamless platform — from audits and bug bounties to monitoring, firewalling, and now, formal verification.

    “We are thrilled to bring Runtime Verification, a leader in formal verification, to Magnus. By integrating their world-class capabilities into our platform, we’re ensuring that every layer of Web3 security is powered by top-tier expertise. With Magnus, we’re not just unifying security, we’re equipping protocols with the most comprehensive security solution, backed by the best tools at every stage,” said Mitchell Amador, Founder and CEO of Immunefi.

    “I’m excited to be working side-by-side with the team at Immunefi to bring the next generation of security to web3 developers! With the unified and integrated approach to security that Magnus puts forward, the wealth of data that Codexa provides, and the power of combining AI and formal reasoning tools, I’m sure that we will make web3 security a breeze, even for newcomers,” said Everett Hildenbrandt, CEO of Runtime Verification.

    Formal Verification in Magnus: An Onchain Best Practice In Real Time 
    RV is a leader in formal verification, the process of ensuring a system meets its specifications. Since smart contracts are immutable once deployed, formal verification provides an essential layer of assurance that the code behaves as intended under all conditions, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. RV solutions include:

    • Formal Verification that goes beyond traditional code reviews
    • Advanced Symbolic Execution for deeper security insights
    • Developer Tools for verification, debugging, and fuzzing

    With tools such as Kontrol and Simbolik already advancing the state of the art, RV’s formal verification capabilities will now power Magnus. Verification results, audit reports, and bug fixes can be seamlessly integrated into Magnus, feeding into its automations, alerts, and intelligence. This results in a more robust security posture, as RV data directly enhances Magnus’ SecOps automations.

    Immunefi has paid out over $115 million in rewards to security researchers and helped avert more than $25 billion in potential hack damage. Building on this unmatched experience and track record, Immunefi’s Magnus bridges the gap between fragmented security solutions by creating a unified platform for security operations. Magnus allows protocols to easily launch bug bounties, conduct audit competitions, and proactively stop threats through an automation engine powered by the industry’s best vulnerabilities dataset.

  • MIL-OSI: SmartsAI Contracts Launches AI Wealth 3.0, Ushering in a New Era of Personalized Wealth Management

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York, NY, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The globally recognized artificial intelligence financial platform SmartsAI Contracts (also known as Smarts AI Contracts) has announced the official launch of its latest generation intelligent asset management system—AI Wealth 3.0. This system, developed over two years, is based on multidimensional user data and evolving trends in the financial market, marking a new phase in AI-driven wealth management towards “true personalization.”

    AI Wealth 3.0 integrates core technologies such as AI risk modeling, dynamic asset rebalancing, automatic profit-taking and stop-loss mechanisms, global market sentiment recognition, and macroeconomic indicator linkage analysis. This creates a comprehensive wealth management system that combines “intelligent analysis + automatic execution + personalized adaptation,” providing users with a higher yield, lower volatility, and more transparent investment experience.

    “The launch of AI Wealth 3.0 is a genuine interpretation of ‘future asset management’ by Smarts AI Contracts,” said Jane Smith, Chief Technology Officer of SmartsAI Contracts. “We are not just letting AI manage your finances; we are enabling AI to grow with you, building a unique investment path based on individual financial goals, risk preferences, and market understanding.”

    AI Wealth 3.0 employs a new intelligent user profiling engine that deeply analyzes investors’ behavioral habits, asset status, historical operation logic, and risk tolerance. Based on this analysis, the system dynamically adjusts asset portfolios to ensure that every investment operates at “the most suitable time in the most appropriate manner.”

    Core Features Include:

    • · Real-Time Rebalancing: The system continuously monitors market fluctuations and deviations from investment goals, automatically optimizing asset ratios to maximize returns and capital efficiency.
    • · AI Risk Control and Stop-Loss Mechanisms: By combining historical big data backtesting with real-time indicator triggers, the system automatically adjusts positions or exits before maximum drawdown is reached, ensuring capital safety.
    • · Market Sentiment Analysis System: The system connects to social media, news trends, and economic data streams, with AI automatically analyzing changes in market sentiment to optimize trading rhythms and risk management.
    • · Comprehensive Asset Allocation Engine: The platform integrates SmartsAI Contracts’ internal options trading system, stock advisor system, and cryptocurrency investment modules, achieving one-stop intelligent investment advice.

    Additionally, SmartsAI Contracts announced that AI Wealth 3.0 supports multi-currency accounts and cross-market investment portfolio synchronized management, allowing users to achieve unified allocation and multidimensional monitoring of assets across global markets, further enhancing wealth growth efficiency.

    The system also provides open APIs for professional users, supporting custom indicator integration and automated trading strategy scripting, catering to the in-depth needs of high-net-worth investors and quantitative institutions.

    Since internal testing began, users of AI Wealth 3.0 have seen an average investment return rate increase of 27%, a 31% reduction in asset volatility, and over a 50% improvement in account automation management, greatly enhancing the stability and sustainability of investments.

    martsAI Contracts stated that the AI Wealth system will continue to rapidly iterate, with plans to launch corporate and family asset versions within this year, expanding the range of service users and bringing AI wealth management into more people’s lives. Additionally, the company will further enhance the system’s security and privacy protection mechanisms to ensure that all data is used and processed within a legally compliant framework.

    As artificial intelligence and fintech continue to deeply integrate, SmartsAI Contracts will maintain its momentum in driving technological upgrades, product optimization, and global regulatory compliance, constructing a more intelligent, robust, and trustworthy asset management platform that comprehensively leads the future direction of smart wealth management.

The agreement also includes an option for FEG to increase the off-take at a later date.

    This agreement is expected to enable Gevo’s financing of the construction of its ATJ-60 facility. Gevo has secured a loan guarantee conditional commitment of $1.63 billion (including capitalized interest during construction) from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Loan Programs Office (LPO) and is originating equity from project level capital providers. Under development in Lake Preston, South Dakota, ATJ-60 is designed to address the market need for cost-effective jet fuel while abating carbon and to respond to growing worldwide demand for SAF. Gevo’s proprietary plant design is expected to be able to produce 60 million gallons of SAF per year at similar production costs to conventional jet fuel, but with far lower carbon emissions.

    The aviation industry has targeted net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, and SAF is expected to contribute around two thirds of the necessary emissions reduction, but to achieve this, its production quantities need to scale more than 400-fold. SAF is not yet available at all major airports worldwide so FEG provides SAF-derived Scope 1 credits to airlines who wish to buy additional SAF but who cannot easily source the physical fuel at their own airports. Similarly, when companies purchase and retire SAF-derived Scope 3 credits to compensate for their business travel emissions, they mitigate the added cost of SAF to airlines and thus enable the faster scale-up of SAF production.

    The Greenhouse Gas Protocol defines different “scopes” of responsibility for emissions. The emissions from a flight fall under an airline’s direct responsibility (i.e., Scope 1), but a company with staff flying for business on that flight is responsible for its staff’s share of the flight’s emissions (i.e., Scope 3 or indirect emissions). Separating the Scope 1 and Scope 3 attributes from the physical fuel, an approach known as “Book and Claim,” reduces fuel transportation and storage costs and carbon emissions, and unlocks a global SAF market both for airlines and for indirect aviation fuel customers around the world who are seeking to mitigate their emissions.

    “Gevo has always planned to leverage SAF market economics to scale our business, and a Book and Claim market that enables the trading of SAF environmental attributes can accelerate SAF production even faster,” says Dr. Patrick R. Gruber, CEO of Gevo. “Future Energy Global is building just such a market, spanning corporate customers, airlines, and aircraft lessors. Aircraft lessors own about half of all commercial aircraft worldwide, and Book and Claim is a critical enabler to allow them and their airline customers to adopt SAF faster.”

    “FEG’s collaboration with Gevo strongly enhances the portfolio of Book and Claim solutions we can offer our airlines, our lessors and our corporate customers,” says Natasha Mann, CEO and Co-Founder of FEG. “It’s crucial to scale SAF production, and our business model lets us unlock the capital to do so. We’re impressed with Gevo’s pipeline, which combines technology ready for today’s market and additional technologies far along in development that could increase production efficiency and accelerate the trajectory of SAF scaling.”

    FEG’s unique business model brings together investors, suppliers, and buyers to help accelerate and scale SAF production globally. FEG generates additional revenue streams by commercializing the carbon credits which SAF provides, enhancing the business case for faster production scale-up. FEG’s offtake agreement with Gevo is expected to fulfill a market need by giving buyers access to SAF credits at predictable prices, while providing financial commitments and revenue certainty that are expected to allow suppliers like Gevo to expand. FEG’s initial focus has been on aviation, though its sustainable-fuel credit solutions span the transport spectrum, including marine and land transport.

    About Book and Claim
    Book and Claim is a well-established structure for accounting for environmental attributes and has been in use for many years in markets such as renewable electricity generation, where individual electrons cannot be tracked through the grid. Book and Claim systems overcome this challenge by allowing renewable electricity providers to “book” the electricity they supply to the grid, while customers can “claim” the renewable electricity they have bought, whether or not they physically receive the renewable electrons. Book and Claim systems, whether in renewable electricity or in SAF, rely on robust tracking and accounting procedures to ensure that environmental credits are counted only once.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ReversingLabs (RL), the trusted name in file and software security, today announced that RL Spectra Intelligence has been recognized as a 2025 finalist in the Threat Intelligence category for the 2025 SC Media’s SC Awards. The SC Awards, now in its 28th year, recognize the solutions, organizations, and individuals that have demonstrated outstanding achievement in advancing the security of information systems.

    “As threat actors continue developing more sophisticated malware and advanced delivery techniques, many security teams struggle to keep up—often relying on threat intelligence that is inaccurate, outdated, or too vague to act on,” said Mario Vuksan, CEO and Co-founder of ReversingLabs. “For over 15 years, ReversingLabs has been dedicated to filling this gap by providing the world’s largest Threat Repository of more than 422B pieces of malware and goodware to assist organizations with the most immediate, credible, and trusted threat intelligence and advanced malware detection.

In 2024, RL added 67 billion files to its threat repository.

    At a time when companies require visibility into the software that powers their businesses, Spectra Intelligence delivers prescriptive file and network insights with verified threat classification—empowering fast, confident action. In 2024, Spectra Threat Intelligence identified 624 million malicious URLs, 26 percent more than it detected in 2023. Over this same period, it collected 163 million domains, up 116 percent over 2023. Of these domains, Spectra Intelligence identified 78 million that were malicious.

    “From the rise of generative AI attacks to breaches exploiting third-party access and non-human credentials, the past year has reminded us that cybersecurity needs to be about innovations that help enterprises pivot, adapt, and thrive in a threat landscape that changes by the hour,” said Tom Spring, Senior Editorial Director, SC Media.

    “Being named an SC Awards finalist is a recognition not only of technical innovation, but of a shared commitment to making the digital world safer,” Spring said. “It’s inspiring to see how this year’s community of finalists—across identity, cloud, data protection, and beyond—is pushing forward together, united by purpose.”

    The 2025 SC Awards entries were evaluated across 33 specialty categories by a distinguished panel of judges, comprised of cybersecurity professionals, industry leaders, and members of the CyberRisk Alliance CISO community, representing sectors such as healthcare, financial services, education, and technology.

    “Xage is at a pivotal inflection point,” said Duncan Greatwood. “With accelerating market demand, a robust product roadmap, and the transformational potential of AI embedded into our innovation strategy, I’m excited to return and help lead the company into its next chapter of growth.

As attackers increasingly leverage AI to scale threats, our commitment to building AI-powered protection and productivity into our platform is more important than ever.”

    Other recent executive hires further underscore Xage’s momentum, including the appointments of Russell McGuire as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) and Ashraf Daqqa as Vice President of the META Region.

Recent customer wins include major contracts with the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and multiple Global 2000 enterprises.

    In parallel, Xage continues to build strong momentum with strategic partners, further expanding its reach and impact across critical markets. Key partnerships with industry leaders such as SAIC, Darktrace, Optiv, World Wide Technology (WWT), CyberKnight Technologies, and Orange Cyberdefense are driving broader adoption of Xage’s zero trust solutions and accelerating customer success across both commercial and public sector verticals.

    “We’ve had strong conviction in Xage from the beginning, and that belief has only deepened as the company begins to scale,” said Sumant Mandal, Managing Partner at March Capital. “Congratulations to Susanto for his expanded role and we are excited to have Duncan resume as CEO.”

    “Xage has demonstrated exceptional traction across critical sectors, fueled by a product that’s both visionary and practical,” said Mark Gudiksen, Managing Partner at Piva Capital. “With a leadership team deeply rooted in both innovation and execution, we’re pleased to back a company with such potential.”

  • MIL-OSI: Community Bankshares Inc. Reports Over $69 Million in Government Guaranteed Lending in Q1 Across 14 States

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LAGRANGE, Ga., April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Community Bankshares, Inc., the holding company of Phoenix Lender Services, Thomas Financial Group, and Community Bank & Trust, announced today the successful deployment of over $69 million in Small Business Administration (SBA) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) backed loans through the end of Q1 2025. The financing activity spans 14 states, reflecting the company’s growing national presence and commitment to delivering critical capital to underserved and rural communities.

    Together, the loans will help create over 400 new jobs and retain more than 350 while enabling key infrastructure expansion, debt refinancing, and facility upgrades for small to mid-sized businesses.

    The lending activity included 17 SBA loans totaling over $23 million, funded by Community Bank & Trust, with origination, underwriting, and closing assisted by Phoenix Lender Services and Thomas Financial Group through their Lender Service Provider (LSP) relationship. Furthermore, Phoenix Lender Services helped to originate, underwrite, and close another $46.7 million in USDA-backed loans.

    “This is exactly the type of impact we built Phoenix Lender Services to deliver,” said Chris Hurn, President of Community Bankshares and President & CEO of Phoenix Lender Services. “We are proud to empower community banks with the tools and expertise they need to deliver transformative capital into rural, urban, and working-class communities — especially when it strengthens supply chains, creates jobs, and preserves family-run businesses.”

    Phoenix Lender Services serves as the Lender Service Provider (LSP) on SBA, USDA, and commercial loans, overseeing eligibility, origination, underwriting, packaging, closing, compliance, and servicing to ensure a seamless borrower and lender experience.

    “Phoenix Lender Services was instrumental in helping us deploy this capital efficiently and effectively,” said Steve Jefferies, President & CEO of Community Bank & Trust. “They bring unmatched knowledge of SBA and USDA lending, and our partnership allows us to expand our reach and serve more businesses across our communities nationwide.”

    Their growing national presence included financing business owners in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, South Carolina, and Wisconsin — and spans industries such as food logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, petroleum, distribution and specialty retail.

    “Securing a loan through Community Bank & Trust, with the support of Phoenix Lender Services, made it possible for us to acquire Firm Foundations Framing—marking a pivotal moment in our journey,” said Ed Black, President of Firm Foundations Framing. “As a construction company building between 750 and 1,000 homes annually across Georgia, this acquisition enables us to retain and grow a business that directly impacts hundreds of lives. More importantly, it fulfills a lifelong dream of business ownership and lays the groundwork for continued growth and opportunity within our communities.”

    “This isn’t our first time working with Thomas Financial Group—and for good reason. We wouldn’t be where we are today without their support,” said Kevin Durling, President of Petroleum Equipment & Services, Inc. “The company’s expertise and understanding of the USDA process are unmatched.”

By integrating data, governance, and insights, these custom-built agents deliver hyper-personalized messaging at scale and provide precise, actionable communications recommendations that drive measurable business impact. 

    Building on its existing Poppulo AI solution set, which leverages generative AI for content tailoring, language translation, analytics, and best practice recommendations, Poppulo’s AI Agents take the platform’s intelligence a step further. With a deep understanding of employees’ communication preferences, behaviors, and attributes, Poppulo’s AI Agents go beyond extracting insights; they provide strategic guidance for every communicator’s next move. From analyzing past campaigns and assessing employee sentiment to delivering real-time recommendations for content, delivery, and channel strategies, these agents act as trusted strategic partners to enterprise communications teams. 

    “Our AI Agents elevate employee communications from a function to a critical business advantage,” said Ruth Fornell, CEO of Poppulo. “By adopting a brand’s style and voice, our agents ensure every message is personalized, aligned with business goals, and optimized for impact. Through real-time insights and strategic recommendations, Poppulo’s AI Agents empower communicators to drive measurable outcomes, accelerate change initiatives, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen alignment between employees and enterprise strategy.” 

    Poppulo’s suite of AI Agents includes:

    • Plan and Simulate Agents learn the nuances of previously sent messages, understanding what was said by the business and understood by employees. These agents support the optimization of communications strategies that increase engagement, reduce information overload, and ensure employees receive only the most relevant and timely content.
    • Create and Target Agents generate drafts and design templates, personalize messages, translate into multiple languages, and tailor content for different channels, reducing creation time while enabling new levels of personalization and engagement.
    • Personalize and Share Agents allow employees to engage in the mode they prefer (audio, video, or text) in any language, on any endpoint, with smart orchestration for delivery at peak engagement times without a need for manual scheduling.
    • Analyze Agent leverages natural language to provide conversational insights on sentiment, employee feedback, and predictive analytics, enabling continuous communication refinement. These AI-driven insights help companies proactively address issues, gauge sentiment, and optimize messaging for maximum impact on engagement, morale, and productivity. 

    “For too long, time and resource constraints have limited the impact of internal communications on business outcomes,” said Frank Gauld, chief product and technology officer, Poppulo. “Our AI-first employee communications platform changes that. Poppulo’s AI Agents continuously learn from historical campaigns, applying company- and industry-specific best practices to refine messaging, maximize reach, and drive measurable results.” 

    Poppulo has invested heavily in AI innovation to meet the evolving needs of enterprise communications teams. Released in November 2024, the Comms Coach chatbot uses natural language querying to answer questions instantly regarding measurables such as email performance benchmarks, best practices, and campaign ideas. Released in January 2025, Poppulo’s email auto-translate feature uses a combination of machine translation, generative AI, and a human-in-the-loop workflow to facilitate professional translations, reducing the need for outsourced translation services and improving organizational inclusivity by making mass multilingual communications more attainable.  

    The AI Agents join the previously released tools, Translations, and Comms Coach as part of Poppulo AI. General availability of Poppulo’s agentic AI will commence in the second half of 2025. To learn more, visit www.poppulo.com/ai.

As I move on to new opportunities, I am confident that the team will continue to drive the company’s mission forward and achieve great success.”

    Over the last decade, Grayscale has launched a suite of more than thirty crypto investment products enabling access to the crypto asset class in a familiar, transparent wrapper, while serving as an educational resource to the investing public, working with policymakers and regulators to bring crypto assets further into the regulatory perimeter, and growing the firm’s business capabilities and best-in-class team.
