  • MIL-OSI: Drones Dominating the Skies with Increased Production Presenting a Rare Opportunity to Capitalize on Exponential Growth

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – A recent release from the Department of Defense (DOD) said that: “The Pentagon to Increase Low-Cost Drone Production in U.S. It said that the Defense Department, with help from industry, will ramp up production and fielding of drones to maintain battlefield superiority. Recently at the Pentagon, 18 American-made drone prototypes were on display. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who toured the displays, said the drones that are manufactured using off-the-shelf components for rapid production are examples of disruptive thinking. Emil Michael, undersecretary of defense for research and engineering, said the prototypes on display went from concept to development in just an average of 18 months, a process that normally takes up to six years. The department will continue to rapidly innovate and scale up production of drones and other systems using cost, resilience, firepower and range as driving factors, which are areas DOD wants to improve upon,” Michael said. Hegseth said in a July 10, 2025, memorandum that he’s rescinding restrictive policies that hindered drone production. “Drones are the biggest battlefield innovation in a generation, accounting for most of this year’s casualties in Ukraine. Our adversaries collectively produce millions of cheap drones each year,” he said, noting the U.S. military is lacking needed quantities of lethal small drones.  Active Companies in the drone industries include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY), Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI), RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX), AIRO Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRO).

    The DOD release added: “The secretary said there are three goals: Prioritizing the purchase of American-made drones and parts with help from industry’s private capital; Arming combat units with low-cost drones made by America’s world-leading engineers and artificial intelligence experts; and Training with drones in realistic battlefield scenarios, led by leaders who are not risk averse.” The report concluded: “President Donald J. Trump signed a June 6, 2025, executive order to speed up U.S. drone production using the latest innovative industry technologies. The president said he supports reducing regulatory uncertainty and streamlining approval and certification processes for safe and secure drone production. Also, the Federal Aviation Administration and DOD will coordinate to streamline the approval processes to expand access to airspace for conducting drone training, Trump said.”

  • MIL-OSI: Unimot plans to enter the defence sector – a joint project with PZL Sędziszów and a Ukrainian partner in the field of drones

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WARSAW, Poland, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PZL Defence was established on 21 July 2025 and is currently undergoing registration. On 24 July 2025, Unimot signed a letter of intent with PZL Sędziszów and PZL Defence, declaring its intention to develop strategic cooperation and build the new company’s expertise in the field of advanced defence technologies. At the same time, an agreement was concluded under which Unimot, following the registration of PZL Defence in the National Court Register, will acquire 40% of the shares in the new company for the amount of PLN 400,000. The initial shareholding structure also provides for a target share of 10% for PZL Sędziszów and 50% for the Ukrainian partner. After completion of the investment process and obtaining the necessary administrative approvals, PZL Defence plans to launch the production of civilian drones and then, after obtaining a licence, expand its activities to include military drones and anti-drone systems for the protection of critical infrastructure.

    “We see the growing importance of unmanned technologies for regional security. That is why we plan to engage in a project that combines Polish engineering resources with the unique know-how of our Ukrainian partners, proven not on a training ground but in real combat conditions,” says Adam Sikorski, President of the Management Board of Unimot.

    PZL Sędziszów (the name comes from the abbreviation: Polskie Zakłady Lotnicze, meaning Polish Aviation Works), as a licensed manufacturer for the defence sector, will contribute advanced expertise in precision engineering to the project and provide access to a new production hall adapted to the requirements of the defence industry and extensive laboratory and technological facilities. PZL Sędziszów is a plant with over 85 years of history and, based on its current military production licences, currently manufactures filters for military vehicles (Rosomak) and military helicopters from the Leonardo group.

    The team of the new company, PZL Defence, is being built with the participation of experts from Poland and Ukraine, including specialists with military and industrial experience. Ultimately, the company will establish a research and development (R&D) centre focused on the design of reconnaissance and interception drones, loitering munitions and systems for neutralising threats from unmanned aerial vehicles.

    “The PZL Defence project is a carefully considered response to the profound transformation taking place on the modern battlefield. Since 2022, Russia has deployed over 28,000 Shahed drones against Ukraine, and according to Ukrainian intelligence, this number could soon rise to over 500 drones every night. This clearly shows that anti-drone systems are becoming an integral part of modern defence, both offensive and defensive. Together with our partners, we want to develop technologies that provide a real response to these challenges,” emphasises Adam Sikorski.

    The planned activities are in line with the long-term trend of increasing defence spending, both in Poland and across Europe. In 2025, Poland’s defence budget will reach a record PLN 186.6 billion, which is 4.7% of the planned GDP. In the following years, spending is expected to grow – according to estimates, in 2025–2035 it may reach a total of PLN 1.9 trillion. The PZL Defence project is also in line with EU priorities such as the Readiness 2030 programme and the SAFE mechanism, which aim to allocate up to EUR 800 billion to investments in the European defence industry, with access to financial resources, EIB instruments and a flexible budgetary framework.

    Trader AI’s Mission: Democratizing Crypto Trading 

    In recent years, the cryptocurrency sector has witnessed explosive growth—often accompanied by elevated volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and a steep learning curve for newcomers. Recognizing these challenges, Trader AI was conceived to bridge the gap between sophisticated algorithmic trading and accessibility for everyday Canadians. By leveraging artificial intelligence, the platform aims to automate labor-intensive tasks such as trend analysis, technical indicator computation, and real-time order generation, freeing users from the need to monitor markets around the clock.

    How Trader AI Works: A Technical Overview

    According to official website, Trader AI’s core engine is anchored in a multi-layered AI architecture that integrates supervised learning, deep neural networks, and real-time data aggregation. Below is an outline of the platform’s operational framework:

    1. Comprehensive Market Data Aggregation
      • Trader AI continuously ingests live order book data, trade histories, volume indicators, and social sentiment inputs from over 20 global exchanges.
      • All incoming data undergoes cleaning and normalization, ensuring consistency for downstream machine learning modules.
    2. Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition
      • A combination of supervised models—trained on historical price movements from January 2017 to December 2024—and unsupervised clustering algorithms identify characteristic market patterns, such as sudden volume surges, technical divergence, and on-chain network activity that historically precedes price shifts.
      • Periodic model retraining occurs every four weeks, incorporating the most recent market data to adapt to evolving conditions.
    3. Signal Generation and Scoring
      • When the AI identifies a pattern that meets predefined confidence thresholds (typically 70–85% probability), it issues a trade signal complete with suggested entry price, stop-loss, take-profit levels, and ideal position size relative to account equity.
      • Each signal is assigned a Signal Quality Score (SQS)—a proprietary metric ranging from 0 to 100—that reflects confidence based on factors such as liquidity depth, volatility, and historical win rate for similar setups.
    4. Automated Order Execution
      • Upon user authorization (via the “Auto-Trade” toggle), signals are dispatched instantly through secure API connections to partnered Canadian brokerages and select international exchanges.
      • In live conditions, orders are executed with an average round-trip latency of under 150 milliseconds, minimizing the risk of slippage during periods of heightened volatility.
    5. Dynamic Risk Management
      • Stop-loss and take-profit parameters adjust in real-time based on Average True Range (ATR) and Bollinger Band expansions. For example, if an asset’s 24-hour volatility spikes above 8%, the AI narrows stop-loss bands by 10–15% to limit drawdown.
      • The platform’s Position Sizing Algorithm (PSA) calculates optimal trade size by referencing account balance, risk tolerance (e.g., 1–3% per trade), and portfolio diversification targets. Any deviation beyond preset risk thresholds triggers an automated alert or halts new allocations.

    Registration and Onboarding: Getting Started in Minutes

    Trader AI’s streamlined registration process has been optimized for speed, transparency, and regulatory compliance—ensuring that Canadian clients can begin trading quickly without unnecessary hurdles. The following steps outline the typical user journey from initial sign-up to live trading:

    1. Account Creation
      • Visit official website homepage, click “Sign Up,” and complete the registration form with basic information:
        • Full legal name
        • Email address
        • Country of residence (preselected as based on IP detection)
        • Phone number (for 2FA and important notifications)
      • Users must acknowledge the platform’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, both of which include specific disclosures regarding data handling under PIPEDA regulations.
    2. Email and Phone Verification
      • An email containing a verification link is sent immediately; clicking the link confirms the email address.
      • A one-time code (OTP) is dispatched to the registered phone number. Entering this code completes the two-step verification process.
    3. Demo Account Activation
      • Without any deposit requirement, new users receive CAD 10,000 in virtual funds to explore the platform’s features and test AI-generated signals.
      • The demo environment simulates real market conditions, including bid-ask spreads and execution latencies, enabling risk-free practice trades.
    4. Minimum Deposit and Funding Options
      • To transition from demo to live trading, a minimum deposit of USD 250 is required.
      • Canadian users may fund accounts via:
        • Interac e-Transfer: Funds clear within 1–2 business hours.
        • Credit/Debit Card (Visa/Mastercard): Instant funding up to CAD 5,000 per day for non-verified accounts.
        • Wire Transfer: Larger deposit limits (up to CAD 50,000 daily) with a 1–2 business day processing time.
      • Immediately after deposit confirmation, live trading features unlock—allowing users to choose between fully automated or manual signal execution.
    5. Optional KYC Verification
      • For withdrawals exceeding CAD 2,000 per month, users are prompted to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification by uploading:
        • A government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver’s license, passport)
        • Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, bank statement dated within the last 90 days)
      • KYC checks typically finalize within 24–48 hours, though urgent requests may be expedited upon user inquiry.
    6. Live Trading Activation
      • With funds deposited and (if necessary) KYC cleared, users can configure initial risk parameters—such as daily drawdown limits, maximum open trades, and preferred asset baskets.
      • The AI engine is now primed to generate signals. Traders can elect “Auto-Trade” to allow fully automated execution or opt to review and manually approve each AI recommendation.

    Core Features and Functionalities

    As per official website, Trader AI’s feature set has been refined to balance sophistication with usability—addressing the distinct needs of Canada’s diverse trading population. The following sections highlight the platform’s most compelling capabilities:

    1. AI-Powered Trade Signals

    • Proprietary Algorithms: Trader AI’s AI suite includes recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which process time-series price data, order flow imbalances, and macroeconomic indicators to forecast short-term price movements.
    • Cross-Asset Analysis: Signals are not isolated to single-asset momentum. The system examines correlations between Bitcoin, major equities indices, and global macro events—such as central bank announcements—to adjust trading thresholds.
    • Signal Quality Score (SQS): Each trade recommendation includes an SQS metric (0–100) reflecting confidence based on factors like market depth, recent volatility shifts, and historical win rates for analogous setups. Users can filter signals by minimum SQS thresholds (e.g., ≥ 70) to ensure high-probability engagement.

    2. Automated Trade Execution

    • API Integrations: Trader AI maintains secure API connections with FINTRAC-registered Canadian brokerages—such as Maple Brokerage and Aurora Digital Assets—and renowned international exchanges. This reduces counterparty risk by routing orders through regulated entities rather than holding funds internally.
    • Low-Latency Order Routing: By co-locating servers near major exchange matching engines, Trader AI achieves average order round-trip times under 150 ms. This is critical during rapid price fluctuations when even small delays can erode profit margins.
    • Slippage Control: Users may elect “Maximum Slippage Tolerance” parameters (e.g., 0.1%–0.5% of trade size) to prevent orders from executing at disadvantageous prices. If slippage exceeds the user-defined threshold, orders are canceled automatically.

    3. Customizable Strategy Settings

    • Risk Tolerance Profiles: “Conservative,” “Moderate,” and “Aggressive” presets allow users to quickly adopt risk frameworks aligned with their goals. Conservative settings limit daily drawdown to 2% of account equity and cap leverage at 2x; moderate settings permit up to 4% drawdown and 5x leverage; aggressive settings enable up to 6% drawdown and 10x leverage (subject to brokerage approvals).
    • Asset Basket Creation: User-defined “Smart Baskets” group multiple cryptocurrencies—such as “Top 5 by Market Cap,” “Emerging DeFi Tokens,” or “Stablecoin Arbitrage.” The platform rebalances these baskets weekly based on performance, market capitalization changes, and liquidity metrics.
    • Volatility-Adaptive Stop-Loss: Stop-loss percentages are not static. Instead, they adjust proportionally to the 14-day Average True Range (ATR) and Bollinger Band expansions. For example, if the ATR for Bitcoin spikes from 2% to 4%, the stop-loss widens by 10–15% to avoid premature exit during heightened volatility.

    4. Portfolio Diversification Engine

    • Balanced Allocation Recommendations: The AI provides suggested allocation percentages across multiple asset classes—e.g., 40% BTC, 25% ETH, 15% top-10 altcoins, and 20% stablecoins—based on risk-adjusted performance data and user-defined risk tolerance.
    • Correlated Asset Mitigation: By monitoring correlation coefficients between assets (e.g., BTC vs. ETH correlation of 0.85), the platform can reduce overweight positions to minimize systemic exposure. When correlation exceeds 0.9, the AI recommends temporary reallocation to lower-correlation assets.
    • Automated Rebalancing: Weekly portfolio rebalancing ensures that no single asset exceeds preset maximum exposure (e.g., 25% of total equity). If an asset’s value grows beyond this cap, the system executes partial sell orders and redistributes proceeds to underweighted categories.

    5. Comprehensive Reporting and Analytics

    • Real-Time Dashboard: The homepage features live P&L, open trade positions, daily profit percentages, and drawdown statistics. A customizable graph displays historical performance, including monthly ROI comparisons against benchmark indices like the S&P 500 and TSX Composite.
    • Sharpe Ratio & Sortino Ratio: Users can view risk-adjusted performance metrics to gauge risk efficiency. A Sharpe Ratio above 1.5 is highlighted in green, indicating favorable risk-adjusted returns. Sortino Ratio (which penalizes downside volatility) is also displayed for more precise risk assessment.
    • Trade History: A searchable log details each executed trade (entry price, exit price, timestamp, P&L, SQS). Users can filter by asset, date range, or trade outcome (win/loss). CSV export functionality enables further analysis in external tools.

    6. Security and Data Protection

    • SSL Encryption & Data Integrity: All data in transit is encrypted via AES 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols. Sensitive user information—such as login credentials and payment details—resides in encrypted databases with advanced hashing (bcrypt) and tokenization methods.
    • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Upon login, users must input their password followed by a one-time code generated through an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator) or delivered via SMS. This two-tier verification effectively prevents unauthorized access, even if credentials are compromised.

    RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FUTURES TRADING
    Futures transactions involve high risk. The amount of the initial margin is low compared to the value of the futures contract, so that transactions are “leveraged” or “geared”. A relatively small market movement has a proportionately larger impact on the funds that you have deposited or have to pay: this can work both for you and against you. You may experience the total loss of the initial margin funds as well as any additional funds deposited in the system. If the market develops in a way that is contrary to your position or if margins are increased, you may be asked to pay significant additional funds at short notice to maintain your position. In this case it may also happen that your broker account is in the red and you thus have to make payments beyond the initial investment.
    RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ELECTRONIC TRADING
    Before you begin carrying out transactions with an electronic system, you should carefully review the rules and provisions of the stock exchange offering the system, or of the financial instruments listed that you intend to trade, as well as your broker’s conditions. Online trading has inherent risks due to system responses/reaction times and access times that may vary due to market conditions, system performance and other factors, and on which you have no influence. You should be aware of these additional risks in electronic trading before you carry out investment transactions.

  • MIL-OSI Analysis: Cubic zirconia only forms under extreme temperatures, like those produced when an asteroid impacts Earth

    Source: The Conversation – Canada – By Neeraja Chinchalkar, PhD student, Earth and Planetary Science and Exploration, Western University

    A satellite image of the Clearwater Lakes, the site of two large asteroid impacts that struck Earth about 290 million years ago (NASA Earth Observatory)

    When high-velocity asteroids land on the Earth, they can form a meteor impact crater. Such collisions have occurred throughout Earth’s history and still occur on other planetary bodies today.

    While most asteroid impacts on Earth happened millions of years ago, their remnants are still preserved across the Earth’s surface. Impact-affected rocks experience intense heat and pressure during the impact.

    One such ancient impact site, known as West Clearwater Lake, is located in Québec, on the Canadian Shield near Hudson Bay. This crater, now filled with water, was formed when an asteroid struck Earth approximately 285 million years ago.

    A natural thermometer

    Zircon is a mineral commonly found in a variety of rock types on Earth and in some rocks on the moon and other planets. It is an incredibly durable, naturally occurring mineral that has been around since as long as the Earth itself. The physical resilience of zircon makes it a useful tool to study natural geological phenomena.

    Zircon, when heated enough, begins to break down into its components: zirconia (ZrO₂) and silica (SiO₂). Zirconia has different forms depending on how hot it gets, called polymorphs — these are minerals with the same chemical make up but different crystal structures that adapt to changing physical conditions. One of the polymorphs of zirconia is cubic zirconia, named for its cubic structure.

    Finding cubic zirconia in nature is incredibly rare because of the specific conditions it requires to remain structurally stable. Cubic zirconia forms only under extreme conditions where temperatures reach above 2,370 C. On the Earth’s surface, such naturally hot temperatures have only been known to exist during impact crater formation.

    At West Clearwater Lake, we found evidence of this natural cubic zirconia preserved in natural glass — a remnant of the intense heat from the ancient asteroid impact. For comparison, active volcanoes such as those in Hawaii reach temperatures in the range of 800 to 1,200 C.

    In nature, zirconia exists in several forms, depending on the temperature and pressure it’s exposed to. The three main polymorphs are: monoclinic, tetragonal and cubic.

    Monoclinic zirconia is stable at lower temperatures and is the most common form of zirconia found in nature. Tetragonal zirconia exists at moderately high temperatures and is unstable at low temperatures. Cubic zirconia is only stable at extremely high temperatures above 2,370 C, and is also unstable at lower temperatures.

    A hot piece of history

    How, exactly, did cubic zirconia end up in these rocks?

    When the asteroid hit the West Clearwater Lake region millions of years ago, it generated temperatures hot enough to melt and vaporize some of the surface rock. As the molten rock cooled and solidified, microscopic crystals of zircon, originally present within target material, got caught up in the hot melt and began to transform.

    At temperatures above 2,370 C, these zircon crystals started to break down, and some of them turned into cubic zirconia. This provided evidence of the extreme heat, which our research team discovered in our recent study.

    This fascinating evidence gives us insights into how hot it can get during a meteorite impact, something that’s hard to measure millions of years after the fact.

    Artificial production

    Synthetic cubic zirconia is produced artificially by heating zirconium oxide to high temperatures, then cooling it in a controlled environment; the zirconia then forms crystals that resemble diamonds. Synthetic cubic zirconia is a popular substitute for diamonds in jewelry because it is cheap to produce but still sparkles like diamonds.

    Synthetic cubic zirconia contains high amounts of stabilizing agents, like the element yttrium, that prevent it from becoming unstable and help it maintain its brilliance over time.

    Without the additives used in synthetic cubic zirconia, natural zirconia is much more likely to transform into other forms as it cools down. That’s why finding natural cubic zirconia is so rare — it exists only in places where temperatures were once unimaginably high.

    Asteroid impacts

    Apart from being a fascinating geological discovery, finding evidence of cubic zirconia in an impact structure gives scientists a better understanding of the conditions created during asteroid impacts. These ancient events weren’t just violent — they fundamentally changed the Earth’s surface in ways that we’re still learning about.

    While the discovery of cubic zirconia in West Clearwater Lake is exciting, it’s just one piece of the puzzle. Impact craters are not unique to Earth — they are found on most rocky objects in our solar system. For example, cubic zirconia has been found in moon rocks brought back by astronauts of the Apollo missions.

    Meteorite craters like the West Clearwater Lake are only a small part of a larger story of Earth’s history. During its nascent years, Earth was regularly bombarded by asteroids that were remnants of the debris from the formation of the solar system, and these collisions helped shape the planet’s surface. In fact, there is compelling evidence that asteroid impacts may have played a role in the origin of life by creating environments where complex chemicals could form.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Welch Leads Bipartisan Legislation to Exempt Small Businesses from Trump Tariffs on Canada 

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator Peter Welch (D-Vermont)

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Peter Welch (D-Vt.), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, led Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) in introducing the Creating Access to Necessary American-Canadian Duty Adjustments (CANADA) Act, legislation that would exempt United States-owned small businesses from tariffs imposed on Canada.  
    “Small businesses are the beating heart of Vermont’s economy, and they operate on the thinnest of margins. There’s no way small businesses can be expected to absorb the costs of President Trump’s tariffs. That’s especially true for smaller businesses across our state that rely on strong partnerships with Canada,” said Senator Welch. “This commonsense bill protects America’s Main Street businesses from Trump’s reckless trade war with Canada, and in turn helps Main Street customers.  
    “Instead of lowering costs for families, Trump’s destructive tariffs are raising prices and hurting American small businesses, from small manufacturers to Main Street shops, hotels, and restaurants that sustain thousands of local jobs. Trump’s chaotic trade war is burning bridges and ruining relationships with our closest ally and key trade partner, Canada, while driving away tourists and costing local economies billions. This bill would help restore our cherished relationship with our next-door neighbor and major economic partner, and bring relief to our communities and small businesses,” said Leader Schumer.  
    “President Trump’s tariffs are increasing prices on everyday goods and making it harder for businesses and working families to get by,” said Senator Shaheen. “Canada is New Hampshire’s northern neighbor and largest trading partner, meaning Granite State small businesses are especially hard hit by these blanket tariffs. By shielding small businesses from rising costs incurred by the President’s trade war, our legislation would give Main Street some much-needed relief and certainty to plan for the future and keep their businesses afloat.” 
    “I’ve heard loud and clear from small businesses in Alaska: tariffs are forcing prices to rise and making it difficult to plan long-term,” said Senator Murkowski. “We’re not just neighbors with Canada, we’re partners in everything from trade, tourism, defense, and fishing. I’m hopeful this legislation sends a clear message to the administration that we want to continue this strong partnership by alleviating the effects of these tariffs on our small businesses.” 
    “President Trump’s broad-based tariffs are causing economic chaos, uncertainty, and higher costs for families and businesses,” said Senator Kaine. “I’ve heard from small businesses across Virginia about how Trump’s trade wars have forced them to make tough decisions about how they’ll continue to operate. I’m proud to introduce this bipartisan bill with my colleagues to exempt small businesses from Trump’s tariffs on Canada, one of our closest allies and top trading partners.” 
    “Imposing tariffs on Canada, Maine’s closest trading partner, threatens jobs, drives up costs, and hurts small businesses that have long relied on cross-border cooperation and exchange,” said Senator Collins. “This bipartisan legislation would shield small businesses throughout the country from unnecessary economic harm while preserving the vital trade ties that support so many Maine communities.” 
    “Donald Trump is hell-bent on turning Main Street into Pain Street for America’s small businesses. Trump’s tariffs threaten to supercharge costs in New England and Massachusetts, a region and a state that relies on trade with Canada to meet the bottom line,” said Senator Markey. “Blanket tariffs will only lead to layoffs, closures, and economic pain. That’s not putting America first. I’m proud to join my colleagues to protect small businesses in the Bay State and all of New England from this disastrous trade war.”  
    “Trump’s Canada tariffs don’t make sense for ANYONE, but especially not for American small businesses. Taxes on products from Canada means small businesses in America will pay more for the inputs they use to make things here in the United States – meaning prices will go up, jobs will be lost and small companies will shut down. This is a commonsense bill to exempt small businesses from Trump trade taxes and cushion some of the blow of his senseless trade war with Canada,” said Senator Wyden. 
    President Trump has changed or modified his tariff proposals and policies 28 times in his second term. These tariffs have been difficult to navigate for small businesses across the United States—especially in Vermont, where Canada is the state’s largest trading partner. Tariffs lead to supply chain disruptions, increased costs of goods and materials, smaller profits and higher costs for consumers.  
    The CANADA Act is supported by Main Street Alliance and Small Business Majority. 
    “The relationship between Canada and the United States is a critical one for farmers, small business owners, and Main Streets across the US, but especially in the border states. It is essential for this relationship that US trade policy is predictable, purposeful, and designed to benefit both countries. The erratic, fact-devoid tariff emergencies put into effect by President Trump are making it harder for US businesses to start and operate while not even achieving the goals they claim to have in the first place. The Senate passing the CANADA Act by Sen. Peter Welch is a step in the right direction, with more to do to restore US global leadership and rebuild trust that’s been unfortunately damaged over the past 7 months,” said Shawn Phetteplace, National Campaigns Director, Main Street Alliance. 
    “The constantly shifting tariff policy landscape has left small businesses struggling to plan ahead. Any amount of clarity lawmakers can offer right now, including an exemption for small businesses importing goods from a specific country, would help by giving entrepreneurs some degree of certainty in a chaotic time. If nothing is done soon to help protect small businesses from tariffs, we expect inflation, uncertainty and chaos will crush many small firms, damage America’s economy and cause the loss of countless jobs,” said John Arensmeyer, Founder and CEO, Small Business Majority. 
    In 2024 alone, trade with Canada accounted for 35% of Vermont’s exports, 67% of its imports, and 56% of its total trade. One in four businesses in Vermont relies on trade with Canada. Vermont buys more goods from Canada than the next nine largest foreign markets combined. In 2023, Vermont exported $150 million just in food and agricultural products to Canada.  
    Vermont boasts nearly 82,000 small businesses, which represent 99% of all businesses in the state, and employ over 62% of Vermont’s overall workforce—higher than the national average. Small businesses in Vermont also employ a diverse workforce, with 43.8% of small businesses in the state owned by women and 6% owned by veterans. 
    Senator Welch has blasted Trump’s tariffs and trade war and shared stories from Vermonters about how President Trump’s economic policies have impacted their businesses, farms, and communities. In May, Senator Welch joined a bipartisan delegation and traveled to Ottawa to meet with Canadian dignitaries, including Prime Minister Mark Carney, to discuss bipartisan support for a U.S.-Canada partnership and their commitment to a strong trading relationship between the United States and Canada. The Senator has hosted roundtables in Stowe, Newport, St. Albans, Manchester, and virtually to hear concerns and first-hand stories from Vermont and Canadian leaders impacted by the trade war.

    Report by the Acting Head of the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe: UK Response, July 2025

    Ambassador Holland welcomes the OSCE Programme Office’s engagement with the Government of Tajikistan during the reporting period, and its continued focus on promoting gender equality, fostering cross-border cooperation and supporting penal reforms.

    Thank you, Madam Chair.

    I warmly welcome Ms. Turcan to the Permanent Council and thank you for stepping into the leadership role during this transitional period. Strong leadership and reliable resourcing are essential for OSCE field missions to function effectively. We again urge participating States to resolve the budget impasse and ensure all OSCE institutions – including the Border Management Staff College – are adequately funded.

    I would like to highlight several areas of the Programme Office’s work that are of particular importance to the UK.

    First, the Mission’s efforts to promote gender equality and support survivors of domestic violence through Women’s Resource Centres and police capacity building. These centres provide vital shelter and services, helping women escape cycles of abuse and rebuild their lives. The UK remains deeply committed to addressing gender-based violence.

    Second, the Programme Office’s role in fostering cross-border cooperation and regional security. We commend Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic for their leadership in peacefully resolving border disputes. These diplomatic achievements underscore the value of dialogue. The UK remains committed to working with Tajikistan, its neighbours, and the OSCE to address regional challenges, including those stemming from Afghanistan.

    Third, we commend the Mission’s work in the human dimension, particularly on penal reform and embedding human rights in government training. We also welcome efforts to strengthen media standards. We note with regret that ODIHR’s observation mission were unable to implement their mandate for the elections in March and encourage all relevant parties to facilitate the required access in the future.

    I would also like to commend the Government of Tajikistan for their continued leadership on climate and water security, not least demonstrated by their co-hosting of the International Conference on Glaciers’ Preservation earlier this year resulting in the adoption of the Dushanbe Declaration. As climate change makes water access more competitive and harder to manage, cooperation and solutions become more vital.

    Finally, we support Tajikistan’s ambitions for sustainable economic growth. Achieving this requires a stable, transparent investment climate grounded in the rule of law. This will attract quality foreign investment and create clean, inclusive growth for Tajik citizens.

    Madam Chair, in closing, I thank Ms. Turcan again for her report and wish her continued success.

    Thank you.

  • Industry leaders hail game changing India-UK free trade agreement

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his British counterpart Keir Starmer on Thursday signed the eagerly-awaited India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), marking a landmark moment in the bilateral economic relationship.

    As part of the historic pact, the UK will reduce duties on 99 per cent of Indian exports, while India will lower tariffs on 90 per cent of British goods, significantly easing tariff barriers and regulatory procedures across multiple sectors.

    The agreement is expected to make imported goods more affordable for Indian consumers, including luxury cars, cosmetics, medical devices, gin, and Scotch whisky. Within the next two years, India’s leather industry is projected to increase its market share in the UK by 5 per cent.

    A high-level industry delegation led by Sunil Bharti Mittal, Founder and Chairman of Bharti Enterprises and Co-Chair of the India-UK CEO Forum, accompanied Prime Minister Modi. The delegation included 16 key business leaders and was organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

    Calling the pact a “game-changer,” Indian industry leaders praised the FTA for opening new opportunities and strengthening long-term economic collaboration between the two nations.

    “Indian industry across all sectors welcomes the India–UK FTA with great optimism. This agreement establishes a modern, forward-looking partnership that will stimulate innovation, ease market access, and foster investment,” said Mittal. “Businesses in both India and the UK stand to benefit as this lays the foundation for expanding bilateral cooperation across key growth sectors.”

    Dr. Anish Shah, Group CEO and MD of Mahindra Group, called the agreement a transformative milestone in the global economic landscape. “It’s not just a win for trade, but a blueprint for a modern, values-led partnership that puts innovation, sustainability, and inclusive growth at the heart of global collaboration,” he said.

    Kirit Bhansali, Chairman of the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council, noted the FTA’s positive impact on India’s gem and jewellery sector. “Currently, exports to the UK stand at $941 million. With the duty concessions in place, this figure is expected to surge to $2.5 billion within the next three years, elevating overall bilateral trade in our sector to an estimated $7 billion,” Bhansali said.

  • MIL-OSI: Chicken Road Game India – Play and Win Real Money By Chicken Road

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Gurugram, Haryana, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    Chicken Road Game Introduced to Indian Market

    The Chicken Road Game, a mobile-based casual title, has officially entered the Indian gaming space. The game, designed around a simple premise of navigating a chicken across busy roads and obstacle-filled environments, is now accessible through select digital platforms catering to mobile-first audiences.

    >>> Learn More About Chicken Road Game >>>

    The release comes as India continues to experience rapid growth in mobile and casual gaming, with millions of new players engaging in quick-session titles that require minimal setup or technical expertise.

    >>> Learn More About Chicken Road Game >>>

    Contextualising the Launch Chicken Road Game

    The launch of Chicken Road Game in India coincides with a broader shift toward hyper-casual mobile games that cater to diverse user groups — from urban commuters to players in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. With smartphone penetration surpassing 750 million users and data costs remaining among the lowest globally, the Indian market is increasingly attractive for lightweight, instantly accessible gaming formats.

    >>> Learn More About Chicken Road Game >>>

    The game’s structure, based on a universally understandable “cross-the-road” mechanic, reflects the demand for entertainment that is simple to learn, playable in short intervals, and broadly accessible across demographics.

    Format and Accessibility

    Chicken Road Game has been released with a mobile-first approach, optimised for Android devices commonly used across India. The game’s technical requirements remain minimal, allowing smooth operation even on entry-level smartphones and in areas with limited bandwidth.

    Features include:

    • A tap-based control system designed for short bursts of gameplay.
    • Randomised obstacle patterns to ensure varied playthroughs.
    • Lightweight installation size for users with limited device storage.

    The game is accessible for free on supported platforms, with optional ad-supported modes and cosmetic enhancements offered through in-app systems.

    Alignment with Casual Gaming Trends

    India’s gaming landscape has shifted dramatically toward hyper-casual experiences over the last five years. Titles that can be played without prior experience or extended learning curves now represent a significant share of downloads across app marketplaces.

    Chicken Road Game joins this category, offering entertainment that appeals to a broad spectrum of players — including those who may not identify as traditional gamers but engage with digital content during commutes, work breaks, or leisure time.

    Industry analysts note that these formats also help introduce new players to interactive entertainment ecosystems, often serving as an entry point into mobile gaming.

    Regulatory and Market Considerations

    The Chicken Road Game is delivered through established digital platforms that operate within India’s existing guidelines for mobile applications. As a casual, non-real-money title, it falls outside the regulatory frameworks governing online betting and wagering, making it widely accessible across states.

    Platforms distributing the game have incorporated standard user protection measures, including parental control features, to ensure suitability for varied age groups.

    Industry Observations

    The introduction of Chicken Road Game in India highlights the continued growth of quick-session, low-complexity mobile titles. Industry experts view these releases as a key driver for audience engagement, particularly as the country’s gaming audience expands beyond metro hubs to semi-urban and rural markets.

    Developers and publishers are increasingly focused on titles that leverage simple mechanics, low data usage, and universal appeal to build sustainable player bases across diverse regions.

    Conclusion

    The arrival of Chicken Road Game in the Indian market reflects the ongoing evolution of digital entertainment consumption. By combining a straightforward concept with a mobile-first design, the game underscores the role of hyper-casual formats in attracting and retaining players in one of the world’s fastest-growing gaming markets.

    As casual gaming continues to gain momentum, titles like Chicken Road Game represent the type of accessible entertainment that resonates with India’s mobile-first audience.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    The Fullmark Board Adds a Seat with Utility Industry Executive Underscoring Leadership Expertise

    Appointments Demonstrate Momentum as Company Surpasses Milestones Across Multiple Battery Energy Storage Projects in the U.S.

    CHICAGO, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fullmark Energy, a leading independent power producer (IPP) focused exclusively on energy storage, today announced the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer as well as the addition of a board member. These appointments are intended to send market signals that Fullmark is doubling down on its commitment to power industry customers. The company has been expanding its executive team since its rebrand in May 2025 in service of its vision of expanding energy storage project operational excellence across the U.S.

    These hires will help Fullmark increase its commitment to pioneering innovative storage solutions that maximize efficiency and return on investment.

    Bruce Thompson has been appointed chief financial officer (CFO), with over 30 years of experience in risk management, structured transactions, finance and origination. Bruce has focused on energy markets since 1996 and renewable energy since 2007, most recently serving as the CFO of Jupiter Power LLC. He has structured and negotiated over 1 GW of renewable hedge agreements, power purchase agreements and REC sales agreements with Fortune 100 corporate energy consumers, federal agencies, utilities and commodity trading companies. Bruce has also been responsible for securing the future revenues of utility-scale wind and solar projects with Lendlease Energy Development LLC and Pioneer Green Energy, and served at executive levels in the retail and wholesale energy space, responsible for connecting wholesale energy trading businesses to emerging electronic exchanges.

    Kyle Crowley has been appointed to the Board as a member with over 20 years of experience in the electric and gas utility and power generation industries, and 30 years of M&A experience, leading strategy, large-scale mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures. Most recently, Kyle was the Senior Vice President of Corporate Finance and Development at Exelon (NASDAQ: EXC), where he was responsible for the corporate development, corporate financial planning, treasury and insurance functions. Throughout his time, he led over 50 closed transactions with a total equity value of approximately $40 billion, including the acquisitions of Constellation Energy and Pepco Holdings, Inc., and helped grow Exelon from two to six utilities.

    “From the start, my goal for Fullmark has been driving high-quality projects that boost grid resilience and value for all stakeholders, and these strategic appointments will accelerate that path,” said Chris McKissack, President & CEO of Fullmark Energy. ”Bruce and Kyle have incredible track records of building business value, developing and implementing impactful top and bottom-line strategies. At Fullmark Energy, we see energy storage as the backbone of a balanced transition, and with data-driven leadership, we’re scaling smart and high-quality projects.”

    Fullmark Energy, backed by InfraRed Capital Partners, develops, builds, owns and operates standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) projects across the United States that enhance grid reliability, increase renewable energy integration and create value for all stakeholders. The company currently manages 300 MWh of operating and in-construction projects, with a robust 4 GW development pipeline strategically positioned across multiple U.S. markets. Fullmark’s portfolio approach to project development reduces single points of failure through geographic distribution while strengthening revenue profiles through diversified offtake agreements.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Truxton Corporation, the parent company for Truxton Trust Company (“Truxton” or “the Bank”) and subsidiaries, announced its operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Second quarter net income attributable to common shareholders was $5.3 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, compared to $4.5 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, for the same quarter in 2024. Net income and fully diluted earnings per share for the quarter rose by 18% and 19%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2024.

    “Truxton’s second quarter 2025 performance was encouraging,” said Chairman and CEO Tom Stumb. “We achieved a new high in quarterly earnings, 5% higher than the prior quarter and 19% higher than the second quarter last year, while investing in the human talent that allows us to develop exceptional results for our clients and shareholders.”

    Key Highlights

    • Non-interest income totaled $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, which was $240 thousand lower than the first quarter of 2025 and $604 thousand over the second quarter of 2024. Wealth revenue in the second quarter of 2025 was $5.2 million, down 2% from the first quarter of 2025 and flat with the second quarter of 2024. Other non-interest income was elevated as a result of a Truxton Capital Advisors fee associated with a successful debt recapitalization engagement.

    • Total deposits increased 2% from $1.03 billion at March 31, 2025, to $1.05 billion at June 30, 2025, and were 25% higher in comparison to $840 million at June 30, 2024. Truxton continues to fund its growth from a single banking location led by its commitment to provide what Truxton believes are superior deposit operations service and technology.
    • Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 2.92%, an increase of 2 basis points from the 2.90% experienced in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and an increase of 17 basis points from the 2.75% in the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Cost of funds was 3.01% in the second quarter of 2025, up from 2.91% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and down from 3.32% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
    • Allowance for credit losses, excluding that for unfunded commitments, was $6.7 million at quarter end June 30, 2025, compared to $6.7 million at March 31, 2025, and $6.2 million at June 30, 2024. For those three periods, such allowance amounts were 0.97%, 0.96%, and 0.96% of gross loans outstanding at the respective period end. For the same three periods, the Bank’s allowance for unfunded commitments was $729 thousand, $589 thousand, and $438 thousand, respectively.
    • The Bank’s capital position remains strong. Its Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.36% at June 30, 2025, compared to 10.46% at March 31, 2025, and 10.45% at June 30, 2024. Book value per common share was $35.75, $34.46, and $31.85 at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively.

    Yield Table Assumptions – Average loan balances are inclusive of nonperforming loans. Yields computed on tax-exempt instruments are on a tax equivalent basis. Net interest spread is calculated as the yields realized on interest-bearing assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the result of net interest income calculated on a tax-equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets for the period. Changes in net interest income are attributed to either changes in average balances (volume change) or changes in average rates (rate change) for earning assets and sources of funds on which interest is received or paid. Volume change is calculated as change in volume times the previous rate while rate change is change in rate times the previous volume. Changes not due solely to volume or rate changes are allocated to volume change and rate change in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each category.

    “Truxton’s second quarter 2025 performance was encouraging,” said Chairman and CEO Tom Stumb. “We achieved a new high in quarterly earnings, 5% higher than the prior quarter and 19% higher than the second quarter last year, while investing in the human talent that allows us to develop exceptional results for our clients and shareholders.”

    Key Highlights

    • Non-interest income totaled $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, which was $240 thousand lower than the first quarter of 2025 and $604 thousand over the second quarter of 2024. Wealth revenue in the second quarter of 2025 was $5.2 million, down 2% from the first quarter of 2025 and flat with the second quarter of 2024. Other non-interest income was elevated as a result of a Truxton Capital Advisors fee associated with a successful debt recapitalization engagement.
    • Loans declined 1% to $692 million at quarter end compared to $702 million on March 31, 2025, and were up 7% compared to $648 million on June 30, 2024. Average loans balances were $2.3 million higher in the second quarter than the first quarter of 2025.
    • Total deposits increased 2% from $1.03 billion at March 31, 2025, to $1.05 billion at June 30, 2025, and were 25% higher in comparison to $840 million at June 30, 2024. Truxton continues to fund its growth from a single banking location led by its commitment to provide what Truxton believes are superior deposit operations service and technology.
    • Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 2.92%, an increase of 2 basis points from the 2.90% experienced in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and an increase of 17 basis points from the 2.75% in the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Cost of funds was 3.01% in the second quarter of 2025, up from 2.91% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and down from 3.32% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
    • Allowance for credit losses, excluding that for unfunded commitments, was $6.7 million at quarter end June 30, 2025, compared to $6.7 million at March 31, 2025, and $6.2 million at June 30, 2024. For those three periods, such allowance amounts were 0.97%, 0.96%, and 0.96% of gross loans outstanding at the respective period end. For the same three periods, the Bank’s allowance for unfunded commitments was $729 thousand, $589 thousand, and $438 thousand, respectively.
    • The Bank’s capital position remains strong. Its Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.36% at June 30, 2025, compared to 10.46% at March 31, 2025, and 10.45% at June 30, 2024. Book value per common share was $35.75, $34.46, and $31.85 at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively.
    • During the six months ended June 30, 2025, Truxton Corporation paid dividends of $2.00 per common share, inclusive of a $1.00 special cash dividend, and repurchased 11,700 shares of its common stock for $923 thousand in aggregate, or an average price of $78.85 per share.

    Yield Table Assumptions – Average loan balances are inclusive of nonperforming loans. Yields computed on tax-exempt instruments are on a tax equivalent basis. Net interest spread is calculated as the yields realized on interest-bearing assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the result of net interest income calculated on a tax-equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets for the period. Changes in net interest income are attributed to either changes in average balances (volume change) or changes in average rates (rate change) for earning assets and sources of funds on which interest is received or paid. Volume change is calculated as change in volume times the previous rate while rate change is change in rate times the previous volume. Changes not due solely to volume or rate changes are allocated to volume change and rate change in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each category.

  • MIL-OSI: Halo Investing Launches Aura: A First-of-Its-Kind Portfolio Construction and Analysis Tool to Visualize the Power of Structured Notes

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CHICAGO, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Advisors are seeking investment opportunities to strengthen portfolios and manage volatility, but have historically lacked the technology to evaluate Structured Notes and clearly communicate their impact. Today, Halo Investing (Halo), an award-winning platform for protective investing, announces the launch of Aura, a portfolio contextualization tool that provides advisors with unbiased, data-driven simulations that demonstrate the impact of Structured Notes within a portfolio.

    Using capital market assumptions and a Monte Carlo simulation engine, Aura provides a statistical view of how Structured Notes impact key metrics like return, risk, and yield in portfolios under a wide range of real-world market conditions. Advisors can create their own Structured Notes or choose from prepackaged notes and view them within model portfolio allocations. This allows advisors to evaluate where Structured Notes fit within an investment strategy.

    Aura is also equipped with built-in tutorials designed to make Structured Notes more approachable and accessible to advisors — whether already on the Halo platform or exploring it for the first time.

    “Advisors are under increasing pressure to deliver better results and protect clients while clearly demonstrating the impact of their investment decisions,” said Matt Radgowski, CEO of Halo. “With Aura, advisors are empowered with the knowledge and data they need to calculate, understand, and articulate the level of protection Structured Notes can add to portfolios.”

    Aura allows advisors to simulate the full portfolio impact of Structured Notes alongside various asset classes with clear before-and-after comparisons. It produces reports with visuals, helps simplify explanations, and gathers key metrics to help advisors confidently communicate their strategy.

    “Protective investing is entering a renaissance as investors seek solutions that help balance market risks with the ability to grow and preserve their income,” said Jason Barsema, president and co-founder of Halo. “This technology enables advisors to analyze how Structured Notes will behave in portfolios, and we believe this will drive broader adoption, more meaningful client conversations, and better long-term outcomes.”

  • MIL-OSI: Tenable Unveils AI-Powered Breakthrough in Vulnerability Prioritization

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    COLUMBIA, Md., July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tenable®, the exposure management company, today announced the next evolution of its industry-leading Tenable Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) to sharpen precision and focus on risks that pose the greatest threat. Powered by generative AI, enriched threat intelligence and context-aware scoring, Tenable VPR enables organizations to quickly understand vulnerability impact, weaponization and precise remediation actions.

    While static Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) broadly flags 60% of vulnerabilities as high or critical, Tenable VPR narrowed this to a focused 3% at its launch in 2019. With these latest AI-driven enhancements, Tenable VPR delivers twice the clarity and precision by leveraging real-time data to pinpoint the critical 1.6% of vulnerabilities that represent actual business risk. These efficiency gains, combined with enhanced explainability and contextualization, translate to faster mean-time-to-remediation, optimized resources, and strategically aligned security efforts with organizational priorities.

    “Our biggest problem was noise. We had thousands of vulnerabilities, and no clear way to know which ones posed a genuine threat,” said Jorge Orchilles, senior director, Readiness and Proactive Security, Verizon. “Tenable VPR changed that by showing us what attackers are actually exploiting right now. It lets us focus our resources on the handful of issues that truly matter, which has made a real, measurable difference in how quickly we can get critical patches out.”

    “We’re taking our game-changing Tenable VPR to the next level with these AI-powered enhancements,” said Eric Doerr, chief product officer, Tenable. “Tenable VPR brings an unmatched precision and depth of threat intelligence, context and explainability to cyber operations. With these critical insights at their fingertips, organizations can clearly visualize why an exposure matters, where they are vulnerable and how to close their priority risks.”

    In addition to hyper-focused risk prioritization, key enhancements to Tenable VPR include:

    • AI-powered insights and explainability: VPR insights provide instant clarity, helping users quickly grasp why an exposure matters, how it’s been weaponized by threat actors, and receive clear, actionable mitigation guidance. AI-generated threat summaries and remediation insights help users quickly understand real-world risks and next steps.
    • Prioritization with industry and regional context: Enhanced filtering, querying and metadata help organizations understand and prioritize vulnerabilities based on real-world threats to their specific industry and region, ensuring critical exposures relevant to the business are addressed first.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Swift Presale Stage 1 Nears Completion as Programmable Yield Protocol Reaches Key Milestone

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LUXEMBOURG, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Swift, a next-generation blockchain platform focused on programmable yield and intelligent governance, today announced the final countdown to the completion of Stage 1 of its BTC3 token presale. The current Stage 1 token price of $1.00 will increase to $2.00 with the start of Stage 2 on July 26, 2025. The full presale will run for 64 days, concluding on September 18, 2025, with a confirmed launch price of $15.00.

    The Bitcoin Swift protocol is designed to address key structural and functional limitations found in legacy blockchain systems. It introduces an automated Proof-of-Yield (PoY) system, privacy-enhancing technologies, and AI-driven governance to create a more responsive and participatory financial ecosystem.

    Unlike traditional token sales that delay access to utility until mainnet launch, Bitcoin Swift’s infrastructure enables early participants to engage with on-chain functions—such as staking and governance—immediately following each presale stage.

    Stage 1 Presale Details

    • Stage 1 Ends: July 26, 2025
    • Current Token Price: $1.00
    • Stage 2 Price: $2.00
    • Confirmed Launch Price: $15.00
    • Presale Ends: September 18, 2025
    • Stage 1 APY: 143%, distributed via Proof-of-Yield

    What Sets Bitcoin Swift Apart

    Bitcoin Swift is built from the ground up to support real-time user interaction and reward distribution. Its unique Proof-of-Yield model automates staking rewards based on network activity, transaction volume, and protocol sustainability metrics. Rewards are distributed automatically at the end of each presale stage, giving users immediate exposure to protocol incentives.

    The protocol uses federated AI oracles to monitor live blockchain metrics, environmental factors, and transaction behaviors. These oracles feed data into smart contracts that update staking logic dynamically, ensuring the system adapts to actual usage rather than relying on static parameters.

    In addition to programmable yield, Bitcoin Swift introduces several innovations to promote decentralization, transparency, and long-term utility:

    • AI-Assisted Governance: Governance proposals are evaluated by AI agents before they reach community voting, helping to filter out spam and low-quality submissions.
    • Quadratic Voting System: Voting is weighted based on reputation and identity, using decentralized identifiers (DIDs) to ensure fair representation.
    • Sustainability Tracking: Rewards are tied not only to user activity but also to the protocol’s environmental impact, as monitored by AI-led metrics.
    • zk-SNARK Integration: The platform uses privacy-preserving cryptography to protect user identities while enabling transparent, verifiable transactions.

    Smart Contract Design and Compliance

    The BTC3 smart contract ecosystem is designed to deliver both performance and adaptability. Unlike fixed APY models, the Bitcoin Swift protocol adjusts staking yields based on network contributions and environmental efficiency. All logic is pre-audited and fully visible on-chain, with audits conducted by third-party firms such as Spywolf and Solidproof. The development team has also completed full KYC verification to strengthen compliance efforts and build trust.

    “Bitcoin Swift aims to deliver a utility-ready protocol that empowers participants from the first stage,” said a project representative. “The Stage 1 presale is the first step toward establishing an ecosystem where value is driven by engagement, not speculation.”


    Community and Roadmap

    While still in its presale phase, Bitcoin Swift has already launched community initiatives across platforms such as Telegram and X (formerly Twitter), inviting early adopters to engage in governance discussions and protocol education.

    Following the end of Stage 1, the project roadmap includes:

    • Release of a governance dashboard with AI proposal filtering
    • Integration of federated oracles for market and sustainability metrics
    • Launch of a developer grant program for protocol-layer integrations
    • Activation of PoY staking for all Stage 1 and 2 participants

    Once the presale ends on September 18, BTC3 tokens will become fully transferable, and governance mechanisms will be activated for the entire tokenholder base.

    What the Crypto Community Is Saying

    The rise of BTC3 has not gone unnoticed. Influencers like Crypto Vlog and Token Empire have published detailed reviews on why Bitcoin Swift is attracting investors. Both emphasize its unique PoY system and AI-powered infrastructure. Meanwhile, Crypto Show and Crypto League break down how the project’s presale is already showing strong traction. The reviews focus on its compliance-first design, performance incentives, and accessible governance.

    Many creators point to its use of Telegram and X as a sign of its open approach to community building. BTC3 is one of the few projects where early users don’t just speculate, they participate and shape the network’s growth.

    Access and Participation

    Bitcoin Swift is accessible via a non-custodial, Solana-compatible interface, allowing users to join the presale without centralized exchange registration. With just two days remaining in Stage 1, interested participants can still lock in the $1.00 price before the token enters Stage 2 at $2.00.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Swift Presale Stage 1 Nears Completion as Programmable Yield Protocol Reaches Key Milestone

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LUXEMBOURG, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Swift, a next-generation blockchain platform focused on programmable yield and intelligent governance, today announced the final countdown to the completion of Stage 1 of its BTC3 token presale. The current Stage 1 token price of $1.00 will increase to $2.00 with the start of Stage 2 on July 26, 2025. The full presale will run for 64 days, concluding on September 18, 2025, with a confirmed launch price of $15.00.

    The Bitcoin Swift protocol is designed to address key structural and functional limitations found in legacy blockchain systems. It introduces an automated Proof-of-Yield (PoY) system, privacy-enhancing technologies, and AI-driven governance to create a more responsive and participatory financial ecosystem.

    Unlike traditional token sales that delay access to utility until mainnet launch, Bitcoin Swift’s infrastructure enables early participants to engage with on-chain functions—such as staking and governance—immediately following each presale stage.

    Stage 1 Presale Details

    • Stage 1 Ends: July 26, 2025
    • Current Token Price: $1.00
    • Stage 2 Price: $2.00
    • Confirmed Launch Price: $15.00
    • Presale Ends: September 18, 2025
    • Stage 1 APY: 143%, distributed via Proof-of-Yield

    What Sets Bitcoin Swift Apart

    Bitcoin Swift is built from the ground up to support real-time user interaction and reward distribution. Its unique Proof-of-Yield model automates staking rewards based on network activity, transaction volume, and protocol sustainability metrics. Rewards are distributed automatically at the end of each presale stage, giving users immediate exposure to protocol incentives.

    The protocol uses federated AI oracles to monitor live blockchain metrics, environmental factors, and transaction behaviors. These oracles feed data into smart contracts that update staking logic dynamically, ensuring the system adapts to actual usage rather than relying on static parameters.

    In addition to programmable yield, Bitcoin Swift introduces several innovations to promote decentralization, transparency, and long-term utility:

    • AI-Assisted Governance: Governance proposals are evaluated by AI agents before they reach community voting, helping to filter out spam and low-quality submissions.
    • Quadratic Voting System: Voting is weighted based on reputation and identity, using decentralized identifiers (DIDs) to ensure fair representation.
    • Sustainability Tracking: Rewards are tied not only to user activity but also to the protocol’s environmental impact, as monitored by AI-led metrics.
    • zk-SNARK Integration: The platform uses privacy-preserving cryptography to protect user identities while enabling transparent, verifiable transactions.

    Smart Contract Design and Compliance

    The BTC3 smart contract ecosystem is designed to deliver both performance and adaptability. Unlike fixed APY models, the Bitcoin Swift protocol adjusts staking yields based on network contributions and environmental efficiency. All logic is pre-audited and fully visible on-chain, with audits conducted by third-party firms such as Spywolf and Solidproof. The development team has also completed full KYC verification to strengthen compliance efforts and build trust.

    “Bitcoin Swift aims to deliver a utility-ready protocol that empowers participants from the first stage,” said a project representative. “The Stage 1 presale is the first step toward establishing an ecosystem where value is driven by engagement, not speculation.”
