    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget Wallet, the leading non-custodial crypto wallet, has launched the fifth edition of its Fomo Thursdays weekly staking event, featuring PUMP, the native token of meme-token platform Pump.fun. This week’s event offers a $6,666 top prize in PUMP tokens, as interest in meme-token markets continues to grow.

    Fomo Thursdays is Bitget Wallet’s recurring token distribution event designed to simplify access to early-stage token projects. Participants stake $10 USDT, refundable after the event, to receive randomized token rewards distributed via onchain smart contracts. By removing trading and point-based entry requirements, the program lowers barriers to participation. Bitget Wallet reported that more than 50,000 users joined the previous round within 25 minutes of opening. In response to demand, this week’s event has expanded to 200,000 entry slots with a total of 10,001 winners.

    This edition also reflects increased market activity surrounding Pump.fun, a Solana-based platform enabling permissionless meme-token creation. Since early 2024, the platform has facilitated over 1.2 million token launches and recently raised over $500 million through a public token sale completed in 12 minutes, according to market data. The trend underscores growing retail interest in low-cost token issuance within the Solana ecosystem.

    “Fomo Thursdays offers a simple, wallet-native way for users to access new token ecosystems,” said Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet. “By featuring PUMP this week, we’re reflecting broader market interest in meme-token ecosystems as a growing segment of onchain activity.” The staking window runs from July 16 at 13:00 UTC to July 17 at 13:00 UTC, with PUMP token rewards available via Solana chain and USDT refunds available via BNB Chain from July 17 at 14:00 UTC.

  • MIL-OSI: Interim report for Q2

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Guidance for pre-tax profit lifted by DKK 100 million supported by a solid insurance service result and improvement in the underlying business in Q2

    • Guidance for the insurance service result is lifted by DKK 50 million to DKK 1.6-1.8 billion excluding H2 run-offs.
    • Guidance for the investment result is lifted by DKK 50 million to DKK 250 million.
    • The insurance service result was a profit of DKK 520 million in Q2 2025 (DKK 312 million), which is the highest result realised to date. The result was driven by highly satisfactory premium growth, an improved claims experience and favourable developments in the expense ratio.
    • Insurance revenue grew at a highly satisfactory rate of 8% to DKK 2,950 million (DKK 2,725 million), driven in particular by strong premium growth of 11% in Personal Lines.
    • The undiscounted underlying claims experience improved by 5.2 percentage points to 62.2, driven by growth in both Personal Lines and Commercial Lines and reflecting, among other things, the results of profitability-enhancing measures and synergy gains.
    • The combined ratio was 82.3 (88.5), driven by fewer major claims, an improved underlying claims experience and a lower expense ratio.
    • The expense ratio improved significantly to 16.7 (18.0), reflecting the group’s objective of lowering the cost level.
    • The implementation of synergy initiatives is progressing according to plan and generated a positive accounting effect of DKK 151 million in Q2 2025.
    • Highly satisfactory investment result of DKK 102 million (DKK 65 million), with shares and bonds contributing favourably to the result.

    CEO Rasmus Werner Nielsen on the Q2 financial results:
    “We recorded a satisfactory performance in the second quarter, assisting customers with building, contents and motor claims in particular, and providing insurance advice to more than a quarter of a million customers in a period characterised by uncertainty on several fronts.

    In the second quarter, we once again onboarded many new customers, which contributed to the strong growth we recorded in insurance revenue. At the same time, we are on track to realise our ambitious plan to create a more efficient organisation and thereby strengthen our competitiveness for the benefit of our customers. The Q2 financial results underline the Group’s resilience, supported by satisfactory Personal and Commercial Lines, both contributing to the favourable development.

    Although the second quarter was characterised by relatively mild weather conditions, we continue our efforts to advise and assist our customers with protection against severe weather conditions in the future. Most recently, with the support of Alm. Brand Foreningen 1792, we launched a new offer to assist customers previously affected by weather-related claims with climate-proofing their houses.”

    Review of trading in the three-month period ended 30 June 2025 versus the prior-year period, at constant exchange rates

    Any long form references to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan within this company announcement are Hong Kong SAR, China; Macau SAR, China; and Taiwan, China respectively.

    At constant exchange rates, Group sales in the quarter ended 30 June 2025 rose by 6% in a volatile global macroeconomic and geopolitical context.

    The growth was led by double digit increases in Europe, the Americas and Middle East & Africa, more than offsetting Japan’s sales decline against high prior-year comparatives; sales in the Asia Pacific region remained stable. In Europe, sales grew by 11%, driven by robust demand from local clients and overall positive tourist spend, supported by successful high jewellery events. Almost all main markets in the region saw an increase in sales this quarter, with notable performances in Italy and Germany. In the Americas, sales growth remained strong at +17%, driven by supportive local demand across all business areas and markets. Sales in the Middle East & Africa region rose by 17%, led by the United Arab Emirates market as well as higher tourist spend. In Japan, sales declined by 15% against a demanding +59% comparative in the prior-year period, with a strengthening Yen strongly reducing tourist spend, most notably from Chinese clientele, whilst local demand remained positive. Asia Pacific sales were stable overall versus the prior-year period, as a 7% decline in China, Hong Kong and Macau combined was fully compensated by robust growth in almost all other Asian markets. Of note, sales in Australia and South Korea were up double digits.

    Growth was consistent across all distribution channels, each up by 6%, led by Jewellery Maisons. Retail sales accounted for 69% of Group sales, with growth across all regions excluding Japan. Wholesale sales growth was driven by solid increases in the Americas, Europe and Middle East & Africa. Online retail sales showed robust growth across almost all regions.

    The Group’s four Jewellery Maisons – Buccellati, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Vhernier – recorded an 11% rise in sales, marking a third consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, supported by both jewellery and watch product lines. All regions posted growth, except Japan that faced a very high comparative in the prior-year period. Specialist Watchmakers sales were 7% lower than the prior-year period, largely reflecting declines in sales in China, Hong Kong and Macau combined as well as in Japan, partly offset by double-digit growth in the Americas. The Group’s Other business area, which includes Fashion & Accessories Maisons, declined by 1% compared to the prior-year period. Notable highlights included continued solid momentum at Peter Millar and Alaïa, an encouraging performance at Chloé and robust growth at Watchfinder & Co.

    The Group’s net cash position at 30 June 2025 stood at € 7.4 billion (2024: € 7.3 billion) after accounting for the € 426 million cash-out upon completion of the sale of YNAP to Mytheresa on 23 April 2025.

    CEO statement and outlook
    “Our second-quarter total net sales came in at €7.7 billion, at the top end of our guidance. The gross margin was 53.7%, above guidance, primarily driven by higher upgrade business and one-offs resulting in lower costs.

    “We see continued progress in litho intensity, particularly in DRAM, and the introduction of the TWINSCAN NXE:3800E reinforces that momentum. Meanwhile, EUV adoption is advancing as planned, including High NA. This quarter, we shipped the first TWINSCAN EXE:5200B system.

    “Looking at 2026, we see that our AI customers’ fundamentals remain strong. At the same time, we continue to see increasing uncertainty driven by macro-economic and geopolitical developments. Therefore, while we still prepare for growth in 2026, we cannot confirm it at this stage.

    “We expect third-quarter total net sales between €7.4 billion and €7.9 billion, with a gross margin between 50% and 52%. We expect R&D costs of around €1.2 billion and SG&A costs of around €310 million. For the full year 2025, we expect a 15% increase in total net sales and a gross margin of around 52%,” said ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Christophe Fouquet.

    Update dividend and share buyback program
    An interim dividend of €1.60 per ordinary share will be made payable on August 6, 2025.

    In the second quarter, we purchased around €1.4 billion worth of shares under the current 2022–2025 share buyback program.

    Details of the share buyback program as well as transactions pursuant thereto, and details of the dividend are published on ASML’s website (www.asml.com/investors).

  • MIL-OSI: Kabosu Launches on Ethereum: A New Meme Token Experiment With Built-In Volatility

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    FRAMINGHAM, Mass., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new experiment in Ethereum’s meme token space has officially launched with Kabosu, a community-driven project aiming to revive playful crypto culture on the world’s largest smart contract platform.

    While Ethereum has often been associated with serious, utility-driven projects, Kabosu brings back the element of fun by introducing a token built around mathematical volatility and community engagement. Its launch arrives at a time when Ethereum’s scalability and reduced transaction fees have made the network more accessible for creative, lightweight token experiments.

    Designed for Volatility, Not Financial Gain

    Kabosu operates using a low-liquidity model that intentionally amplifies price movement. Built on the constant product formula used by most decentralized exchanges (x * y = k), the token’s architecture embraces the inverse-square relationship between token supply and price. This makes for a highly reactive trading environment—where each buy or sell has a significant impact.

    This design isn’t intended for financial speculation or investment advice. Instead, Kabosu presents itself as a tokenized entertainment experience that blends mathematics with internet-native humor. It taps into Ethereum’s open and permissionless structure to provide an experimental playground for users who enjoy unpredictability and community dynamics.

    More Than Just a Token

    According to developers, Kabosu is a project initiated by The Society — a pseudonymous group focused on blockchain experiments at the intersection of math, culture, and decentralized participation.

    “This isn’t about promises or profits. Kabosu is a reflection of Ethereum’s original ethos — a place to build, experiment, and have fun together,” the team shared.

    The Society is a decentralized collective exploring experimental blockchain use cases. Their work focuses on pushing the boundaries of community interaction and technical design on public ledgers.

  • MIL-OSI: CloudFirst to Join Performive in Strategic Growth Transaction

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MELVILLE, N.Y., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Data Storage Corporation (Nasdaq: DTST) (the “Company”) today announced that on July 11, 2025 it entered into a definitive agreement to sell the assets of the business of its wholly owned subsidiary, CloudFirst Technologies Corporation. The goal of this transaction is to continue to accelerate CloudFirst’s growth with a new purchaser, while exploring strategic opportunities for the Company that enhance shareholder value. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and approval by Data Storage Corporation’s shareholders at its annual meeting of shareholders scheduled for September 10, 2025.

    Under the terms of the agreement, CloudFirst will join Performive, a cloud and infrastructure services provider backed by Renovus Capital Partners, a private equity firm. CloudFirst will continue to market its services under its well-established brand, the CloudFirst leadership team will remain in place, and CloudFirst will maintain its renowned support and account management teams. The Company expects continuity throughout the approval process and beyond.

    If the transaction is approved by the Company’s shareholders, Data Storage expects that it will retain its public listing and continue to operate Nexxis Inc., a provider of telecommunications and data services. Assuming shareholder approval and closing of the transactions, the Company is planning to use the proceeds together with certain other cash on hand in connection with a tender offer to repurchase up to 85% of its outstanding shares.  Data Storage intends to use the funds remaining in the Company following the tender offer to pursue strategic growth through acquisitions in high-growth sectors, including, but not limited to, AI-enabled SaaS, cybersecurity, and healthcare automation.

    Chuck Piluso, CEO of Data Storage Corporation, commented, “This agreement highlights the long-term value CloudFirst has created and reflects confidence in the future. While the transaction remains subject to shareholder approval, operations at CloudFirst remain unchanged, with no changes to structure or leadership. The current teams remain fully committed to delivering the high standards our clients expect and, in fact, over the past 30 days we have added staff. With the added scale and strategic backing from this transaction, we expect CloudFirst to be well-positioned for continued growth, while preserving the identity and strengths that have driven its success to date.”  

    “Although we believe in the strong fundamentals and long-term potential of CloudFirst, we believe that the public markets did not adequately reflect its value. This transaction positions CloudFirst for continued growth in a private setting, while allowing Data Storage to return value to shareholders and pursue strategic opportunities in high growth sectors,” concluded Mr. Piluso.

    About Data Storage Corporation

    Data Storage Corporation (Nasdaq: DTST) through its subsidiaries, is focused on providing solutions that ensure business continuity, improvement in business processes, and efficiency, while striving to build shareholder value.

These forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and assumptions as of the date of this press release and include statements regarding approval by the Company’s shareholders at its annual meeting scheduled for September 10th, 2025; the transaction continuing to accelerate CloudFirst’s growth and allowing the Company to explore strategic opportunities that enhance shareholder value; CloudFirst continuing to market its services under its well-established brand; the CloudFirst leadership team remaining in place; CloudFirst maintaining its renowned support and account management teams; the Company’s expectation of continuity throughout the approval process and beyond; the Company expecting to retain its public listing and continuing to operate Nexxis Inc.; the Company’s plan to use the proceeds together with certain other cash on hand in connection with a tender offer to repurchase up to 85% of its outstanding shares; the Company’s intention to use the funds remaining in the Company following the tender offer to pursue strategic growth through acquisitions in high-growth sectors; CloudFirst being well-positioned for continued growth; the transaction positioning CloudFirst for continued growth in a private setting; the transaction allowing the Company to return value to shareholders and pursue strategic opportunities in high-growth tech sectors. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include approval by the Company’s shareholders at its annual meeting scheduled for September 10, 2025; consummation of the transaction; the transaction continuing to accelerate CloudFirst’s growth and allowing the Company to explore strategic opportunities that enhance shareholder value; the Company retaining its public listing and continuing to operate Nexxis Inc.; the Company’s plan to use the proceeds together with certain other cash on hand in connection with a tender offer to repurchase up to 85% of its outstanding shares; the Company’s use of its remaining funds; the transaction positioning CloudFirst for continued growth in a private setting; and the transaction allowing the Company to return value to shareholders and pursue strategic opportunities in high-growth sectors.

    Mint Miner cloud mining does not require any hardware or technical background. Global users can start XRP cloud mining with one click through a browser or mobile app to obtain stable daily income.

    XRP cloud mining: speed, efficiency and income
    XRP has long been a crypto asset favored by institutions due to its high performance and low cost in the field of cross-border payments. Mint Miner’s intelligent mining system, XRP is entering a new stage – not only can it be used for payment, but also for creating sustainable income.

    ❸Remote barrier-free operation: No mining machine or configuration is required, just register and log in to the App or website to start mining.

    ❹Flexible income currency: Supports settlement of multiple currencies such as BTC, ETH, USDC, SOL, DOGE, LTC, BCH, etc.

    ❺Principal return mechanism: After the contract expires, the system automatically returns the initial investment and income to ensure the safety of user funds.

    Mint Miner has diversified contracts to suit different user strategies

    Various flexible contracts with terms ranging from 1 day to 20 days. Suitable for novices with short-term mining returns, and also suitable for crypto asset holders seeking long-term returns. All contracts have fixed income and automated management mechanisms to ensure that the investment process is simple, transparent and controllable.

    Since its establishment in 2016, Mint Miner has been committed to bringing institutional-level mining services to global users, covering more than 180 countries and regions around the world, and the number of users has exceeded 5 million. The introduction of XRP cloud mining not only continues the platform’s consistent technological leadership, but also represents the further popularization and personalized development of crypto asset management.

    Finally:
    “We believe that true financial inclusion comes from the simplification of technology and the improvement of efficiency,” said a Mint Miner spokesperson: “XRP is one of the ideal crypto assets. Global users can participate in the growth of the XRP network and obtain stable income every day without any threshold.”

    Mining income is credited daily, regardless of market fluctuations

  • MIL-OSI: Portman Ridge Finance Corporation Closes Merger with Logan Ridge Finance Corporation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: PTMN) (“Portman Ridge” or “PTMN”) today announced the closing of the previously announced merger of Logan Ridge Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: LRFC) (“Logan Ridge” or “LRFC”) with and into PTMN, with PTMN remaining as the surviving company. Based on July 11, 2025 financial data, the combined company had total assets in excess of $600 million.

    Ted Goldthorpe, President and Chief Executive Officer of PTMN and Head of the BC Partners Credit Platform, stated, “We would like to thank the shareholders and independent directors of both companies for their strong support throughout the merger process. With the merger now complete, we look forward to rebranding PTMN as BCP Investment Corporation later this summer, which will better reflect our affiliation with the broader BC Partners Credit Platform.

    Looking forward, we are excited about the opportunities ahead. We will seek to leverage the combined company’s enhanced scale, further diversified portfolio, cost savings due to lower overall operating expenses, and improved stock trading liquidity to deliver compelling risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders.”

    In connection with the closing of the merger, LRFC shareholders are entitled to receive approximately 4.0 million shares of PTMN common stock in the aggregate, or 1.5 shares of PTMN common stock for each common share of LRFC, based on the applicable exchange ratio and payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares.

    Prior to the closing of the merger, LRFC’s investment adviser announced a cash payment of $0.47 per share to LRFC shareholders of record as of May 6, 2025, which is expected to be paid to the applicable legacy LRFC shareholders on or about July 25, 2025. Additionally, on July 14, 2025, LRFC’s Board of Directors declared a tax distribution of $0.38 per share to LRFC shareholders of record as of July 14, 2025, which is expected to be paid to the applicable legacy LRFC shareholders on or about July 22, 2025.

    Additional Merger Related Initiatives

    • In the coming weeks: Portman Ridge will rebrand and begin operating under the name BCP Investment Corporation (the “Company” or “BCIC”). In connection with the rebranding, the Company will continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the new ticker symbol “BCIC”.
    • Beginning in 2026: The Company will transition to paying its currently quarterly base distribution on a monthly basis, while retaining the potential for quarterly supplemental distributions. The quarterly supplemental distributions will continue to approximate 50% of the incremental net investment income earned in excess of the base monthly distributions.
    • Over the next 24 months: To further align the Company’s interests with shareholders and drive additional value creation, the Company, along with its management, its adviser and their affiliates intend to purchase up to 20% of the Company’s outstanding common stock to the extent the Company’s shares continue to trade below 80% of net asset value (“NAV”), which implies a share price of $15.08 based on Portman Ridge’s March 31, 2025 NAV per share, or approximately a 20% premium to PTMN’s June 26, 2025 closing market price. These purchases will begin no earlier than 60 calendar days following the date of the closing of the LRFC merger and may occur through various methods, including open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions, and may be conducted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 trading plans. In this regard and as previously announced, PTMN’s Board of Directors has authorized an open market stock repurchase program of up to $10 million for the period from March 12, 2025, to March 31, 2026. The Company, its management and its adviser also reserve the right to conduct tender offers as part of the Company’s broader value creation initiatives.

  • MIL-OSI: Pennsylvania Data Center Partners and PowerHouse Data Centers Launch Joint Venture to Build Next-Gen 1.35 GW Hyperscale Data Center Campus in Carlisle, Pennsylvania

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PITTSBURGH, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pennsylvania Data Center Partners, a leader in data center development within the Commonwealth, together with PowerHouse Data Centers, the fifth largest data center developer in the United States, announced plans for their first joint venture: a $15 billion project with three hyperscale data center campuses in Central Pennsylvania. The new AI data hub, Pennsylvania Digital I (PAX) will deliver 1.35 GW of capacity with expandability up to 1.8 GW, comprising scale and speed for AI data center development.

    The project was announced today before President Donald Trump and distinguished global leaders in energy and artificial intelligence, international investors, representatives from labor and trades, as well as Pennsylvania officials at the inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit hosted by Senator Dave McCormick (R-PA) at Carnegie Mellon University.

    The master plan for PAX includes the construction of three data center campuses with each campus featuring six buildings and a dedicated 450 MW substation. PAX will have access to 17 metropolitan fiber networks, including direct peering with Ashburn, Virginia.

    “This venture between Pennsylvania Data Center Partners and PowerHouse Data Centers is groundbreaking for AI infrastructure,” said Senator Dave McCormick. “It’s a bold and meaningful investment that puts Pennsylvania at the heart of America’s emerging AI tech economy.”

    The project is anticipated to deliver significant economic benefits for the local community, including generating more than $65 million in direct tax revenue with allocations of $45 + million to the Cumberland Valley School District, $10 + million to Middlesex Township, and $10 + million to Cumberland County. Furthermore, the development is expected to create high-skilled employment positions spanning areas such as construction, project management, engineering, and electrical work.

    “This landmark deal with PowerHouse represents a pivotal step for our expansion across Pennsylvania—a state uniquely positioned for data center development thanks to our state and local leaders willing to tap its abundant natural power resources. We’re proud to help lead the charge in building the infrastructure that will define the next era of AI and technological innovation,” said Pennsylvania Data Center Partners CEO Igal J. Feibush.

    “Pennsylvania is important as a growing AI data center market for the Nation and our Pennsylvania Digital I (PAX) project is in the very heart of the state with its access to not only Ashburn, but all of the most important markets in the Eastern United States,” said Doug Fleit, CEO and Co-founder of PowerHouse Data Centers. “This campus is built for speed, engineered for growth, and located where the next wave of infrastructure will take shape for our customers.”

    As part of this transformative project, PPL Electric Utilities will connect the campuses to their transmission system, ensuring the reliable delivery of power to the data center campuses and the surrounding community.

    “PPL Electric Utilities’ investments in its transmission system position us to support economic growth and reliably serve all customers. We’re ready to serve new customers when they’re ready to interconnect,” said Christine Martin, president of PPL Electric Utilities. “Our commitment to innovation and grid reliability aligns seamlessly with the vision for this project and the emergence of Central Pennsylvania as a technology hub. We’re excited to be part of Pennsylvania Data Center Partners and PowerHouse Data Centers’ investment in the state and look forward to the positive effects it can have for our customers and the local economy.”

    The new data center campus is generating significant interest among hyperscalers.

    Pennsylvania Data Center Partners and PowerHouse Data Centers are committed to building lasting relationships with the local community. Both organizations are actively engaging with area nonprofits, investing in STEM education, and providing resources to support charitable initiatives across the region. “Our shared vision goes beyond infrastructure—it’s about strengthening the fabric of the communities where we operate,” added Feibush.

    Project Highlights:

    • Footprint: Approximately 700-acre site with three campuses with 450 MW each.
    • Utility Capacity: 1.35 GW with scalable growth up to 1.8 GW.
    • Near-Term Power Delivery: 300 MW by 2Q 2027.
    • Tax Incentives: Pennsylvania’s data center tax exemption provides 100% abatement of sales and use taxes on equipment and electricity for up to 15 years.
    • Robust Fiber Infrastructure: Direct peering to Ashburn, VA and connectivity to 17 metro fiber providers.
    • Strategic Location: Carlisle is in the heart of the Northeast’s emerging AI corridor, with the scale, power and location hyperscale clients are demanding.
    • Aesthetic Design: PowerHouse Data Centers is a leader in thoughtful and aesthetic architectural for data center development.

    Further project updates will be shared as development progresses.

Its recent price rally has shattered key resistance levels, drawing investors and newcomers alike back to the crypto space.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Mexico City, Mexico, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Watt2Trade, a pioneering blockchain-based energy platform, today announced the official launch of the world’s first decentralized exchange (DEX) for electricity, enabling peer-to-peer energy trading across global markets in real time.

    Built on blockchain technology, Watt2Trade allows users to buy, sell, and trade real kilowatts of electricity — much like tokens on a DEX — making the $80 billion global electricity market accessible to individuals for the first time. Unlike traditional power markets dominated by institutional players and regulatory complexity, Watt2Trade is available 24/7, globally, and enables seamless participation from both energy producers and consumers.

    “Energy has always been one of the most essential, yet inaccessible, financial assets for individuals,” said Carlos Aurelio Hernández, CEO of Watt2Trade. “We’re changing that by giving people the ability to trade energy just like they trade crypto — securely, transparently, and on their own terms.”

    Carlos is a fourth-generation energy entrepreneur with more than a decade of experience leading energy infrastructure projects in Latin America. His past ventures — HHGM, SUJIO, and Volta Capital — have delivered over 500 energy projects and serve as the operational and strategic backbone for Watt2Trade.

    The platform is already integrated with real-time electricity market data from CENACE (Mexico), ERCOT (Texas), CAISO (California), and Nord Pool (Europe) — enabling users to tap into live prices and real demand cycles.

    Watt2Trade also features a simulation mode for new users, allowing them to learn and experiment with peer-to-peer energy trading in a risk-free environment before trading real assets. The platform is currently accessible at www.watt2trade.com.

    About Watt2Trade

    Watt2Trade is the world’s first decentralized energy trading platform, enabling peer-to-peer electricity exchange via blockchain. Users can buy and sell real kilowatts, stake the $Wattoin token, vote on governance decisions, and tap into live market integrations across multiple countries. With deep industry roots and a mission to decentralize one of the last institutional strongholds in global finance, Watt2Trade is reshaping the future of energy access and ownership.
