Indonesia’s ITS Develops Scalable, High-Efficiency Palm-Based Biogasoline Production Technology

SURABAYA, INDONESIA, May 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) has developed an innovative technology known as Benwit (Palm Gasoline), enabling the conversion of crude palm oil (CPO) into high-quality biogasoline, and presenting a promising alternative for reducing Indonesia’s substantial dependence on imported petroleum and foreign extraction technologies.Geopolitical tensions have continued to disrupt the global oil market and threaten energy supply security across Southeast Asia, thus emerging economies such as Indonesia are placing greater emphasis on energy sovereignty to safeguard national interests against the volatility of fossil fuel supply chains. Dr Eng Hosta Ardhyananta ST MSc explained the process and results of producing Palm Oil Gasoline using the "Benwit" method he discovered.The research, funded by the Indonesian Oil Palm Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDPKS), applies an advanced catalytic cracking method developed by ITS expert Dr. Eng. Hosta Ardhyananta, S.T., M.Sc., and his team. This method is designed to decompose large triglyceride molecules in crude palm oil (CPO) into lighter hydrocarbon fractions that are suitable for use in combustion engines.Hosta's team successfully optimized the reaction by introducing a bimetallic catalytic composed of Nickel Oxide (Nio) and Copper Oxide (CuO). This catalytic synergy enabled a substantial reduction in operating temperature, from 380°C to 320°C, while simultaneously increasing the biogasoline yield from 60% to an impressive 83%.The resulting fuel consists of short-chain hydrocarbons (C5–C11), closely resembling the chemical composition of commercial gasoline. In addition to the primary fuel product, the process reflects a zero-emission approach, in which gaseous byproducts are recycled as a heat source for the reactors, while liquid residues are repurposed as fuel for industrial or household stoves.Hosta noted that the innovation has been applied with agricultural machinery, but testing has been underway since April with conventional internal combustion engines through a blending method with fossil fuels and will continue to enable Benwit as a primary fuel for conventional vehicles, in line with the Indonesian government's plan to implement B50 biodiesel in July.This innovation aligns with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 7 on affordable and clean energy, and Goal 12 on responsible consumption and production.  A comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by the research team indicates that the production process generates a minimal carbon footprint in comparison with conventional fossil fuels.The development of Benwit has also received full support from the Indonesian Minister of Agriculture, Amran Sulaiman. In the near future, collaboration with PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) PalmCo IV is expected to commence following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ITS.Prof. Dr. (HC) Ir. Bambang Pramujati, S.T., M.Sc.Eng., Ph.D., and Rector of ITS, underscored the timeliness of Benwit, noting that the current global situation offers a strategic opportunity for the government to accelerate the transition toward alternative energy sources, while the use of domestic palm oil reserves could help mitigate the effects of external fuel crises.Benwit bio-based fuel products, for agriculturl machinery and for convetional vehicles, represent a potentially significant policy instrument for advancing the transition to renewable energy, while working to reinforce national energy security.About ITSEstablished in 1960, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) is one of Indonesia’s leading universities, with a strong emphasis on science, engineering, and innovation.

現今最佳加密貨幣購買選擇:隨著比特幣逼近8萬美元,Based Eggman表現超越狗狗幣(DOGE)和柴犬幣(Shiba Inu Coin)

(SeaPRwire) -   比特幣正穩步走高,朝著 8 萬美元大關邁進, memecoin 市場的溢出效應正將新資金引入最佳加密貨幣預售領域。 Based Eggman ($GGs) 是 Base 鏈上的佼佼者,在早期階段的勢頭上超越了 DOGE 和 Shiba Inu 等成熟的 memecoin。目前第三階段已啟動,籌集了超過 31.5 萬美元,該項目已為下一輪週期做好準備。 BTC 價格預測:數字顯示的結果 比特幣的交易價格約為 77,200 美元,阻力位在 79,000 美元,支撐位在 74,000 美元。 2026 年的技術預測將最低目標定為 113,878 美元,潛在高點接近 142,578 美元,平均預測為 117,301 美元。來自 BlackRock、MicroStrategy 和其他企業買家的機構興趣正在加強這一前景。 當 BTC 趨勢走高進入這些阻力區域時,散戶的注意力會轉向更高 beta 的交易。 成熟的 memecoin 將受益,但預售往往會出現更劇烈的百分比變動,因為流通量較小,買家群體更具信念驅動性。這就是為什麼當 BTC 突破關鍵水平時,最佳加密貨幣預售的討論通常會引領更廣泛的 memecoin 漲勢。 目前的設置與過去的週期相似。 BTC 的強勁表現讓交易者有信心投入早期項目,而 Base 原生項目正在獲得最穩定的資金流。 Based Eggman 與 DOGE 和 Shiba Inu 的比較 DOGE 的 RSI 處於中性水平約為 57,在 50 日 SMA 附近約為 0.094 美元處出現盤整。 CoinCodex 的 2026 年預測將其定為 0.165 美元,約為目前水平的 66%。 Litecoin 的合併挖礦安全性很穩固,但每年新增約 50 億 DOGE 的發行量會造成持續的供應壓力。 Shiba Inu 已經建立了更多的基礎設施,擁有 ShibaSwap、Shibarium Layer-2 以及 BONE/LEASH 生態系統,使其比 DOGE 具有更深的內涵。 2026 年的預測約為 0.00003 至 0.00005 美元,而通縮銷毀提供了一些結構性支持。 Based Eggman ($GGs) 屬於不同的類別。第三階段的價格為 0.010838 美元,加上 BASED-50 獎勵,實際價格接近 0.0072 美元。由於入門點根本不同,其不對稱的上漲潛力無法與成熟的 memecoin 相提並論。有關 Based Eggman 的路線圖和預售的更多信息,請觀看此視頻。 是什麼讓 Based Eggman 脫穎而出 Based Eggman 是 Base 鏈上 Web3 遊戲中心的原生貨幣。該代幣為玩家對戰街機錦標賽提供動力,持有者可以在其中爭奪獎勵,並為社交金融工具提供支持,讓主播可以接收 $GGs 的打賞和訂閱,以及在預售階段已經上線的質押功能。 大多數加密貨幣預售項目在推出時都帶有品牌標識,然後再添加實用性,但 Based Eggman 正在反向運行結構。 據項目方稱,智能合約已經過領先的區塊鏈安全公司審計。該審計框架很重要,因為安全性和透明度被定位為核心優先事項,而不是事後補救。第三階段大約還有四天時間,之後將進入下一個價格級別。 Base,Coinbase 的 Layer 2,已成為美國散戶加密貨幣最易於使用的網絡。低費用、快速的最終確定性和直接的 Coinbase 入門流程,為 Base 項目提供了以太坊主網無法比擬的分發優勢。 進入第二季度的頂級加密貨幣預售選擇集中在 Base 鏈上,而 Based Eggman 正在領跑該群體,因為比特幣的強勁勢頭持續提振整個市場。 最後的話 DOGE 和 SHIB 將繼續受情緒週期影響而波動,對於尋求成熟 memecoin 敞口的交易者來說,這沒什麼問題。對於關注最佳加密貨幣預售討論的買家來說,Based Eggman ($GGs) 是目前結構設置最清晰的選擇。 第三階段正在進行中,BASED-50 獎勵已激活,質押已開放,距離下一個價格級別大約還有四天時間。隨著比特幣繼續向 8 萬美元邁進,這是一個實際的決策窗口。 更多關於 Based Eggman 預售的信息請點擊此處: 網站: https://basedeggman.com/ X (Twitter): https://x.com/Based_Eggman Telegram: https://t.me/basedeggman本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

川普對伊朗說:’他們想要達成協議,我不滿意,所以我們將看看會發生什麼事’

(SeaPRwire) -   美國總統唐納·川普週五表示,他對伊朗結束兩國戰爭談判的最新提議“不滿意”,幾乎在提議送達後就予以拒絕。 伊朗國家通訊社IRNA週四晚間報導,伊朗已將其最新的談判提議交給了巴基斯坦的調解人。 川普週五在白宮告訴記者:“他們想達成協議,但我對此不滿意,所以我們拭目以待。” 美伊之間為期三週的脆弱停火似乎仍在維持,儘管兩國都互相指責對方違反停火協議。 川普沒有詳細說明他認為最新提議的不足之處。他說:“他們提出的要求我無法同意。” 總統表示,在川普上週取消了特使的巴基斯坦之行後,談判已通過電話繼續進行。他對伊朗領導層表示沮喪,稱其分裂。 “這是一個非常脫節的領導層,”他說。“他們都想達成協議,但他們都一團糟。” 儘管停火在很大程度上停止了伊朗的戰鬥,但美國和伊朗在荷姆茲海峽陷入僵局,該海峽是全球貿易石油和天然氣的五分之一在和平時期通過的地方。美國海軍的封鎖阻止伊朗油輪駛離港口,導致伊朗經濟搖搖欲墜。隨著伊朗繼續對該海峽實施扼制,世界經濟也承受著壓力。 本週,川普提出了一項新計劃,以重新開放美國海灣盟友用於出口石油和天然氣的關鍵通道。 據伊朗外交部長阿巴斯·阿拉格奇的社交媒體稱,他週五與包括土耳其、埃及、卡塔爾、沙特阿拉伯、伊拉克和阿塞拜疆在內的許多地區國家對口官員進行了一系列通話,向他們簡報了該國結束戰爭的最新舉措。 歐洲聯盟外交政策負責人卡亞·卡拉斯週五也與阿拉格奇通話。卡拉斯辦公室在一份聲明中表示,他們討論了重新開放荷姆茲海峽的外交努力和長期安全安排。卡拉斯也與歐盟的灣區夥伴保持聯繫。 巴基斯坦官員表示,為緩解伊朗和美國之間的緊張局勢,相關努力仍在繼續。巴基斯坦總理謝赫巴茲·謝里夫週三在內閣會議上表示,仍在等待伊朗的回應。 與此同時,據她的基金會週五稱,伊朗被監禁的諾貝爾和平獎得主納爾吉斯·穆罕默迪因健康狀況“災難性惡化”,已被緊急從監獄轉往伊朗西北部的一家醫院。 納爾吉斯·穆罕默迪基金會表示,這位諾貝爾獎得主曾兩次完全失去意識,並出現嚴重的心臟危機。據她的律師稱,她在3月下旬疑似心臟病發作,當時他們在事件發生幾天後探望了她。 基金會表示,此次轉院是在她自12月12日被捕以來“長達140天的系統性醫療疏忽”之後發生的。 本週早些時候,川普告訴Axios,他拒絕了伊朗提出的以美國海軍解除對伊朗港口的封鎖來換取重新開放海峽的提議。 據了解該提議的兩名地區官員稱,伊朗的提議將將有關該國核計劃的談判推遲到稍後進行。這些官員因討論伊朗和巴基斯坦官員之間的閉門談判而要求匿名。 川普表示,他發動戰爭的主要原因之一是阻止伊朗發展核武器。 IRNA和其他伊朗媒體週五報導稱,戰爭期間對伊朗的襲擊留下的炸彈爆炸,造成14名伊斯蘭革命衛隊成員死亡。 據Nournews網站報導,該網站被認為與伊朗安全部門關係密切,爆炸發生在扎anjan市附近,該市位於德黑蘭西北部。 這是自4月7日停火開始以來,報導的伊斯蘭革命衛隊死亡人數最多的一次。報導稱,彈藥包括集束炸彈和在戰鬥中投下的航空炸彈。 據當局稱,自2月28日戰爭開始以來,伊朗至少有3,375人死亡,黎巴嫩有2,600多人死亡,以色列與伊朗支持的真主黨武裝組織之間的戰鬥在戰爭開始兩天後爆發。黎巴嫩的死亡人數包括在與真主黨的衝突中。 此外,以色列有24人死亡,海灣阿拉伯國家有20多人死亡。17名以色列士兵在黎巴嫩喪生,13名美國軍人在該地區喪生。 ___ Ezzidin從開羅報導,Binkley從華盛頓報導。美聯社記者Sylvie Corbet在巴黎,Sarah El Deeb在貝魯特對此報導做出了貢獻。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

2025年執行長薪酬調漲11%,員工僅獲0.5%漲幅

(SeaPRwire) -   根據一份新報告,2025年執行長(CEO)的薪酬正在上漲,其增長速度遠遠落後於普通員工。 根據國際工會聯合會(International Trade Union Confederation)和樂施會(Oxfam)週五發布的一項研究,去年全球一些最大公司的領導人獲得了11%的加薪,而全球普通員工的增幅僅為微薄的0.5%——這意味著執行長薪酬的增長速度約是普通員工的20倍。 這份報告調查了33個國家1,500家公司,發現去年執行長的平均薪酬約為840萬美元,高於2019年的平均550萬美元。 然而,高階主管薪酬的典型代表可能是 Tesla 執行長 Elon Musk。去年11月,股東批准了一項針對這位全球首富的薪酬方案,如果他達到某些增長目標,包括將 Tesla 的市值增長到8.5兆美元(約增長585%),他可能在10年內獲得價值高達1兆美元的股票。《Wall Street Journal》報導,這項破紀錄的薪酬方案在2025年估值為1,580億美元。 去年億萬富翁們表現出色,部分歸因於2025年股市的穩健上漲。S&P 500 指數在2025年上漲了近18%。根據報告,近1,000名已確認投資組合的億萬富翁去年賺取了790億美元的股息。 誠然,這項研究將1,500名「高薪企業」執行長的薪酬與全球所有員工的工資進行了比較,將兩個看似不相關的群體混為一談。正如 Economics subReddit 上的評論者所指出的,更公平的比較可能是衡量這些公司內部執行長薪酬與員工薪酬的關係。 執行長薪酬的飆升發生在普通員工工資暴跌之際。2019年至2025年間,全球員工的實際工資下降了12%。報告聲稱,鑑於工資的下降,普通員工自2019年以來已經無償工作了108天。 除了工資下降,普通員工近年來還不得不應對飆升的通貨膨脹。根據核心個人消費支出物價指數(不包括食品和能源等波動性類別),核心通膨在3月份上升了0.3%,比一年前高出3.2%。根據 Consumer Price Index 的數據,自2020年以來,整體物價上漲了25%。 聯邦儲備委員會的數據顯示,美國的貧富差距正在擴大。截至2025年第三季度,美國最富有的1%家庭擁有全國約29%的財富,而最底層的50%家庭僅擁有5.3%。 樂施會國際(Oxfam International)執行董事 Amitabh Behar 在一份聲明中表示,為彌補這種差距,政府應採取糾正措施。 他說:「政府必須限制執行長薪酬,公平地對超級富豪徵稅,並確保最低工資至少能跟上通貨膨脹,以確保有尊嚴的生活。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Global Experts call for Paradigm Shift in Medicine, Health and Education to Save Lives and Fight Escalating Health Crisis

INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A global consortium of 64 experts (72 entities, 5 continents) unveiled two coordinated consensus plus policy brief reports, outlining a science‑driven roadmap to confront escalating health crises and to tackle the growing burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs-including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, etc.: 75% of global deaths; 82% in low-/middle income countries; 90% of all death in European region).The centerpiece is HEAL-Healthy Eating & Active Living, ideally whole‑food plant‑predominant/vegetarian-vegan diets & daily exercise outdoors/active mobility-as the minimum, first‑line standard in health and care. The authors urge immediate action on Prevention-over-Treatment and reforming education and human‑relevant science (drug failure rate from animal studies is 90-95%, and as high as 99.6% for Alzheimer disease), with a rapid shift from disease‑centered reaction to person‑centered, lifestyle‑first cure and care.Figure 1. HEAL means choosing a whole-food, plant-predominant (ideally vegan) diets coupled with daily exercise outdoors/in nature to kick-start better health.

As childhood-entrenched health literacy lasts a lifetime; embedding HEAL from primary to tertiary education is the policy priority of our generation." -Lead author Katharina Wirnitzer | PHT, University of Innsbruck & CCCTIMFigure 2. Katharina Wirnitzer/Keynote on Vegan Diet in Sports. Credit: ©Katharina Wirnitzer.Why change is imperativeThe paradox: Despite rising health spending and scientific advances, public health gains lag while ever-growing NCDs. The expert panel offers 101 consensus statements and a 10‑step policy roadmap to act across the lifespan-from individual behavior to population‑level change.Why HEAL, and why now: HEAL combines Healthy Eating (whole‑food, plant‑predominant; preferably vegetarian/vegan) with Active Living (regular, ideally daily, including outdoor activity and active mobility). Evidence shows synergistic benefits beyond either alone, reducing reliance on drugs and surgery while improving resilience and sustainability of health systems.Prevention-First (3:1): The reports recommend prioritizing prevention, health maintenance, and health promotion over treatment by 3:1 (Figure 3), making healthy choices the easy, first‑line intervention and reserving medicalized treatment for specific indications.Education and workforce: Embed HEAL from primary through tertiary education and continuously upskill healthcare and education professionals to deliver evidence‑based lifestyle counseling, routine assessment, and monitoring. Improve meal standards and support active mobility in schools and public spaces.Human‑relevant science: Accelerate the transition to non‑animal, human‑relevant methods for basic and preclinical research and for efficacy, safety and toxicity testing through funding priorities, validation, and regulatory adoption.Policy roadmap: Apply Health in All Policies (HiAP) to link individual choices with systemic supports (Figure 4); invest in supportive defaults (healthy public catering, active transport, public‑space design, community HEAL programs); embed HEAL in curricula; and track outcomes with robust evaluation to scale what works."Every dollar/euro invested in evidence-based prevention saves multiples in treatment. HEAL is the smartest first investment a health system can make." -Bernd Haditsch | ÖGK - Austrian Health Insurance Fund, Prevention Unit"Obesity is a disease with powerful drivers. HEAL gives every patient a proven, first-line foundation to reclaim their health." -Fatima Cody Stanford | Harvard Medical School & MGH"A doctor who cannot counsel patients on the Power of Lifestyle, especially on food and movement, is only half-equipped. Lifestyle education in medical school is the missing foundation of modern medicine. Helping our patients to eat a more plant-strong diet is the most powerful healing medicine we can prescribe." -Michael Klaper | Moving Medicine Forward"Plant-forward diets provide a powerful opportunity to concurrently improve health and wellbeing for people, farmed animals and the environment." -Andrew Knight | Griffith UniversityFigure 3. Four areas-of-action, balanced 3:1, to achieve lifelong health. Credit: ©Katharina Wirnitzer."Given its cost-effectiveness, Traditional, Integrative, and Complementary Medicine will be the evidence-based mainstream of tomorrow's global healthcare." -Tomáš Pfeiffer | ITCIM & SANATOR"Treatment alone will not sustain health systems. HEAL connects prevention, lifestyle medicine and integrative care to advance salutogenesis on a planetary scale. We must invest far more in creating health." -Georg Seifert | WHO CC & CCCTIM, Charité Universitäts mediz in Berlin"The science clearly shows that, when it comes to human health, animal protection is a win-win. Given human health's complexity, and since animal testing virtually fails to cure human diseases, human-relevant methods already outperform animal experimentation and must therefore be implemented with priority in science, with funds going to human-focused research. Citizens in the EU and US have spoken clearly in favor of this transition. HEAL can prevent many diseases, avoiding the need for animal studies altogether." -Merel Ritskes-Hoitinga | Universities Aarhus & Utrecht; Doris Wilflingseder | Vetmed Uni Vienna, Aysha Akhtar | Center for Contemporary Sciences, Corina Gericke & Gaby Neumann | Doctors Against Animal ExperimentsFigure 4. Systemic application of HEAL to reach target groups and improve personal and public health across micro (individuals/families), meso (communities), and macro (state/government/federal policy) levels, ensuring optimal vertical and horizontal permeability and integration.

獨家:新創公司Fun籌集7200萬美元 認真投入加密貨幣與現金轉換業務

(SeaPRwire) -   後端支付系統的細節足以讓大多數人(即使是加密貨幣領域的人)感到乏味。但新創公司 Fun 的創辦人兼執行長 Alex Fine 卻發現這些繁瑣的支付任務正是他所熱衷的,而他的熱情也得到了回報。週五,Fun 宣布已募得 7200 萬美元,將與 Polymarket 等熱門科技公司合作,讓用戶能夠以加密貨幣和美元等法定貨幣存入和提取資金。 加密貨幣投資公司 Multicoin Capital 和科技創投公司 SignalFire 領投了這輪 A 輪募資,該輪募資已於一月底結束。其他投資者包括 Infinity Ventures、Pharsalus Capital 和 Tinder 共同創辦人 Justin Mateen。Fine 拒絕透露他以何種估值募得這筆資金。A 輪募資之前,Fun 已於 2022 年完成一輪未公開的 390 萬美元種子輪募資。 「如果你有一個金錢應用程式、一個金融應用程式,你實際上如何將錢存入和取出?」Fine 在一次採訪中說道。「這就是我們做得非常好的地方。」 嚴肅的業務 在過去一年中,Meta、Stripe 和 Shopify 等公司都在唐納·川普總統執政期間的監管轉變下,將加密貨幣支付功能添加到其平台。Fun 預計將有更多非加密貨幣公司加入他們的行列。這促使該公司建立了一項業務,讓這些平台上的用戶可以在數位資產和法定貨幣之間轉換——無需使用加密貨幣交易所或銀行。(Fun 使用第三方供應商在不同代幣和貨幣之間進行轉換。) 26 歲的 Fine 於 2020 年從史丹佛大學輟學,並花了兩年時間研究了幾個新創點子。他最終決定區塊鏈將取代過去的金融資料庫和文件櫃。「如果你思考價值存在於何處,價值被持有於何處,今天有許多許多萬億的資產都存在於資料庫或紙本上,而在未來 20 年,我們將看到所有這些資產都將轉移,」他說。 因此,在 2022 年,Fine 創立了 Fun,他選擇這個名字是因為他認為它「打破傳統」——而且他已經擁有 fun.xyz 網站域名以及 X 上的 @fun 帳號。「每個人都會記住這個名字,」他說。  Fun 的業務是嚴肅的。這家新創公司直接與企業的工程師合作,為用戶在平台上存入和取出資金建立通道。它每年處理超過 180 億美元的支付量,並為預測市場 Polymarket、加密貨幣衍生品平台 Lighter 以及借貸應用程式 Aave 建立了存款基礎設施。 「隨著全球的金融科技公司和其他新興銀行開始採用代幣和穩定幣,我認為 Fun 實際上處於非常有利的地位,可以隨著時間的推移,向那些非加密貨幣原生公司提供他們為 Polymarket、Lighter 和 Aave 提供的相同服務,」Multicoin 的普通合夥人 Spencer Applebaum 說。 Fine 表示,Fun 擁有超過 20 家客戶,但他拒絕透露公司的收入或其新創公司是否獲利。他計劃利用公司已募得的 7200 萬美元,增加其近 30 名員工的團隊。 「我們真的希望成為這個新經濟的門戶,」Fine 說。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Datavault AI and CyberCatch Announce Signing of Binding Letter of Intent for Datavault AI to Acquire CyberCatch to Accelerate AI-Driven, Quantum-Resistant Cyber Risk Mitigation Solutions

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, and CyberCatch Holdings, Inc. ("CyberCatch") (TSXV:CYBE) (OTCQB:CYBHF), a cybersecurity company offering a patented, AI-enabled platform for continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation, today announced they have entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") under which Datavault AI and CyberCatch will enter into a definitive agreement for Datavault AI to acquire 100% of CyberCatch in an all-stock transaction structured as a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).Under the LOI and subject to a definitive agreement, Datavault AI will acquire 100% of CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares (being approximately 26.8 million shares) in exchange for approximately 49.9 million newly issued shares of Datavault AI common stock (the "Datavault AI Shares") at CAD $5.11 per CyberCatch share, which implies an aggregate value to CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares of CAD $136,843,820. All issued and outstanding CyberCatch securities convertible into or exercisable for CyberCatch common shares will be exchanged for Datavault AI Shares on a cashless exercise basis at a deemed value of USD $2.00 per Datavault AI Share. Upon closing of the transaction, subject to customary board, stock exchange, and any necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, it is anticipated that Datavault AI stockholders will hold approximately 92.48% and CyberCatch shareholders approximately 7.52% of the equity of Datavault AI, on a non-fully diluted basis. It is anticipated that CyberCatch will operate as a subsidiary of Datavault AI from San Diego, California, and CyberCatch founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda will serve as President of the subsidiary, reporting to Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI.Strategic RationaleThe combination is positioned at the intersection of two of cybersecurity's largest secular markets. According to Gartner, worldwide end-user spending on information security is projected to reach $240 billion in 2026, and Gartner separately projects the AI-amplified security segment will reach $160 billion by 2029, up from $49 billion in 2025. According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average U.S. data breach now costs $10.22 million, with a global average of $4.44 million.Regulatory tailwinds are converging with that demand picture. Phase 1 of the U.S. Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification ("CMMC") program took effect on November 10, 2025, with mandatory third-party C3PAO assessments for Level 2 contracts beginning in November 2026 and full enforcement extending across approximately 220,000 Defense Industrial Base contractors and subcontractors. CyberCatch's platform is purpose-built to address that mandate in defense, HIPAA in healthcare, NIST 800-171 in manufacturing, NIST CSF 2.0 in financial services, among others.The combination is also positioned for the post-quantum security era. Google has set 2029 as its internal deadline to migrate authentication systems to quantum-resistant cryptography. Separately, Google Quantum AI research demonstrated that the elliptic curve cryptography protecting many digital signatures and authentication systems could be broken by a superconducting quantum computer with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, an order of magnitude lower than previous estimates. CyberCatch is converting its patent-pending, multi-authority, attribute-based encryption with revocation ("MARS-MABE") technology to attain quantum-resistance, and combining MARS-MABE with continuous agentic AI penetration testing creates a next-generation cybersecurity stack applicable across healthcare, defense, manufacturing, financial services, and energy.About CyberCatch's Platform and LeadershipCyberCatch's patented, AI-enabled continuous cybersecurity compliance and risk mitigation solution:Uses generative AI to ensure all legally required controls are in place and calculates a Cyber Hygiene ScoreUses agentic AI to continuously simulate threat-actor tactics, techniques, and procedures to perform penetration tests and calculates a Cyber Breach ScoreDetects gaps for prompt remediation before a threat actor can exploit and be successfulThe platform tests cybersecurity controls continuously from three dimensions, outside-in, inside-out, and social engineering, mapping to NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-171, CMMC 2.0, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and other regulated frameworks, replacing once-a-year manual penetration tests with continuous agentic AI penetration testing using specialized skill-set agents.MARS-MABE provides several distinct advantages over current RSA and AES-256 encryption, such as:Access to data is provided only if fine-grained user attributes are metAccess to users can be limited to fine-grained data subsetsInstant revocation of user access to data subsets, eliminating the need to re-encrypt the entire data set and providing speed and significant cost savingsCyberCatch is led by founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda, a globally recognized cybersecurity expert, author of the bestselling Next Level Cybersecurity, co-author of Canada's National Cybersecurity Standard, and inventor of USPTO Patent No. 11,297,094, "Automated and Continuous Cybersecurity Assessment with Measurement and Scoring." He is the former founder and CEO of Compliance Coach, which was acquired by FIS, a FORTUNE 500 company, where he served as GM, Risk, Information Security, and Compliance Solutions.CyberCatch's board and advisory board include:Tom Ridge, former special assistant to U.S. President, first Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and two-term Governor of PennsylvaniaDr. Marv Langston, former Director of Information Systems at U.S. DARPA and Cybersecurity Chief, U.S. NavyScott Tait, former U.S. Navy Commander and National Security Advisor at the Joint Chiefs at the U.S. PentagonCyberCatch's customers span the U.S. defense supply chain, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, education, and public sectors, and the Company's capabilities were extended through the February 2026 acquisition of multi-authority attribute-based encryption technology, now branded MARS-MABE, and through 2026 reseller and referral partnerships such as with Speridian Technologies and other multiple reseller partners to U.S. government agencies.Added Strategic Benefit: Platform Integration and Cyber Defense Layer Across the Datavault AI StackFollowing closing, CyberCatch's AI-enabled Software-as-a-Service platform is also expected to operate as the cybersecurity and continuous-compliance layer across Datavault AI's existing technology suite, including:DataValue®, DataScore®, and Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) running natively on Available Infrastructure's SanQtum AI quantum-resistant, zero-trust edge platform across 1,000 urban micro-edge neocloud sites planned in 100+ U.S. cities by year-end 2026Acoustic Sciences division technologies (WiSA®, ADIO®, Sumerian®) and IDE® deployments serving sports, entertainment, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy customersFederal and regulated-industry customer workloads where continuous compliance attestation against NIST, CMMC, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS frameworks is increasingly a precondition for procurement, audit, and renewalThe proposed acquisition is intended to give Datavault AI customers and partners an integrated path from secure compute through AI-driven data analytics, with continuous attestation at every layer.Management Commentary"Cybersecurity is no longer a separate stack from data and AI - it is the precondition for both. CyberCatch's continuous compliance platform is expected to provide another strategic advantage by adding to DataValue®, DataScore®, and the IDE® a real-time risk and compliance signal at every node of our quantum-secured edge fleet, from federal contractors to enterprise data customers," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI."Datavault AI's quantum-ready edge platform is exactly the next-generation infrastructure our customers and the marketplace in critical sectors such as in defense, healthcare, and financial services need cybersecurity built into. Joining Datavault AI gives them a clear path to a unified secure-data platform with continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation built in," said Sai Huda, founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of CyberCatch.Transaction OverviewUnder the binding LOI, holders of CyberCatch's common shares will receive newly issued common shares of Datavault AI as described above, with CyberCatch becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Datavault AI. The Datavault AI Shares to be issued are anticipated to be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), provided by Section 3(a)(10), and applicable state securities law exemptions.The transaction is subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, completion of due diligence, board approvals of both companies, requisite CyberCatch shareholder approval, applicable court approval of the plan of arrangement (British Columbia), and approvals of The Nasdaq Stock Market and the TSX Venture Exchange, as well as other customary closing conditions. The parties have agreed to negotiate a definitive agreement during a 45-day mutual exclusivity period.About Datavault AIDatavault AI™ (NASDAQ:DVLT) is a pioneer in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment.

美國經濟蓬勃發展 —— 但5000萬美國人居住的地方除外

(SeaPRwire) -   我在 1990 年代初上高中,當時我成長的伐木小鎮遭受了沉重打擊。工廠倒閉和失業讓那些循規蹈矩的工人和家庭為了生存而苦苦掙扎。當地商店經營困難,學校縮減預算,公共服務也隨之萎縮。對許多人來說,失去薪水導致了對國家體制的失去信心。 在國會任職的 12 年以及現在在 The Rockefeller Foundation 的工作中,我看到我的家鄉與太多其他地方相似。超過 5,000 萬美國人生活在經濟困窘的社區,其特徵是就業不足、健康狀況較差、犯罪率較高以及公民生活分崩離析。 我們往往會忽視這些困窘的社區,因為整體的就業數據非常出色。上週的數據顯示,失業率處於 2022 年以來的最低點。在全國範圍內,所謂的黃金年齡就業率——即 25 至 54 歲人群的就業情況——維持在 80% 左右。但這掩蓋了深刻的地理差異。在美國約三分之一的郡,黃金年齡就業率落後於全國平均水平五個百分點或更多——這就是「經濟困窘社區」的定義。當黃金年齡就業疲軟時,損害會加劇:薪水減少、稅基縮小,以及一種努力工作卻毫無出路的挫敗感日益增長。 這些社區的人們並沒有做錯任何事——他們只是沒有住在對的地方。美國的經濟機會變得驚人地集中。2020 年,在美國 3,000 多個郡中,僅 100 多個郡就佔了全美就業增長的一半。 隨著人工智慧(AI)重塑工作,那些從未從先前的經濟衝擊中完全恢復的社區面臨著進一步落後的風險。雖然技術一直在改變工作,但 AI 的速度和規模卻與眾不同,人們也感受到了這一點。Gallup 的一項調查發現,近四分之一使用 AI 的勞工表示,AI 和自動化「非常」或「有些」可能取代他們的工作。 那麼,在這種程度的經濟變革中,我們如何讓更多美國人投入工作?社區需要與州政府、雇主和聯邦合作夥伴合作,利用新的突破性方法,讓民眾與工作建立聯繫並能穩定就業。 首先,我們需要認真對待「地方」因素,但方式要與以往不同。傳統的以地方為基礎的策略有助於吸引投資進入社區,通常是透過引進知名雇主或大型資本項目。在許多情況下,這確實很重要。但這些策略往往過於頻繁地假設機會會自動惠及當地勞工。 現在的不同之處在於,獲得工作的機會較少取決於投資落腳何處,而更多地取決於當地系統是否真正將人與工作聯繫起來。在當今取得進展的社區中,勞動力機構將培訓與實際的招聘承諾相結合,雇主協助塑造當地的育才管道,而托兒和交通等實際障礙被視為就業系統的一部分,而非事後才考慮的問題。 其次,就業政策不能止步於創造就業機會。美國經濟有數百萬個職位空缺,特別是在醫療保健、建築和照護經濟領域。許多職位空缺是因為勞工缺乏短期、與工作掛鉤的培訓,無法獲得與雇主實際招聘需求相匹配的新技能或更新技能。其他時候,勞工則因職場外的實際障礙而靠邊站——如托兒、交通、地理距離或不可預測的工作排班。取得進展的社區關注的是「對接」而非僅僅是「供應」。培訓計畫是與雇主共同設計的,因此證照能直接轉化為聘用。雇主投資於留才和晉升,而不僅僅是招募。而賦予工作能力的基礎設施,特別是托兒和福利系統,被視為就業系統的一部分,因為如果沒有這些,人們就無法可靠地出勤,或在工作變動時保持與職場的聯繫。 以我位於華盛頓州奧林匹克半島(Olympic Peninsula)的家鄉為例,那裡的社區長期以木材和自然資源產業為支柱,面臨著緩慢且不平衡的轉型。在某些地方,黃金年齡就業率落後全國平均水平達兩位數。作為回應,當地領導人並沒有追求一次性的項目。相反,他們組織了一種協調一致的應對措施,將勞動力發展、經濟發展和支持性服務圍繞一個簡單的目標結合起來:將民眾與海事、製造、清潔能源和自然資源領域的現有工作和新興機會聯繫起來。這包括透過當地社區學院開展由雇主驅動的培訓、幫助人們應對轉型的現代勞動力合作夥伴,以及減少托兒和交通障礙的投資。 第三,我們需要現代化應對變革的方式。太多的勞動力系統——即聯繫人與工作的雇主、培訓提供者、公共機構和福利計畫的組合——是為一個失業是偶發性且復甦遵循相對可預測路徑的世界而設計的。這並非 AI 正在推動我們走向的世界。更有可能的現實是更頻繁的職業轉換、現有工作內部更快的任務變化以及更短的任期。風險不僅在於裁員,還在於「聯繫減弱」:當勞工遇到變故、脫離勞動力市場並難以重新進入時。 AI 肯定會消除一些工作。但它也可以幫助勞工更快地進入新工作。如果運用得當,AI 可以幫助人們了解其所在地區哪些職位正在增長,他們現有的技能如何轉化為這些工作,以及哪些簡短、可靠的步驟——通常是幾週或幾個月,而非幾年——可以引向真正的聘用。 雇主需要激勵和支持,以便在任務發生變化時將員工重新部署到新崗位,而不是預設為裁員和重新招聘。各州應減少關注某人是否符合「失業」資格,而更多地關注人們從一份工作轉移到下一份工作的速度——透過現代化福利和勞動力服務,使勞工能夠在不失去收入、醫療保險或動力的情況下度過過渡期。 慈善事業透過提供風險資本發揮著獨特的作用——測試政府和雇主通常無法或不願首先嘗試的方法,從 AI 賦能的求職導航到圍繞轉型而非裁員設計的新模式。當這些方法被證明是持久可行時,各州和雇主就能更好地採用並擴大規模。 如果國家的大部分地區繼續感到被遺忘,後果將繼續惡化。經濟排斥會侵蝕信任。公眾對政府的信任度已接近歷史低點,在經濟困窘持續存在、政府往往表現得更像障礙而非合作夥伴的地方,這種情況尤為明顯。 但如果我們投資於人和地方,適應技術變革,並堅持讓機會被廣泛共享,我們就能重振美國夢。數據顯示,將雇主、勞動力系統和實際支持相結合的社區,已經幫助人們重新投入工作並留在崗位上,即使在經濟動盪之中也是如此。 進步是可能的,如果社區為其人民而戰。我相信他們會的,因為在巨大的變革和不確定時期,美國夢始終是最值得為之奮鬥、也最常得到重振的。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

(SeaPRwire) -   在 Binance 於 4 月 14 日啟動其價格範圍執行規則以防止訂單在快速市場波動中以異常價格成交後,要辨識出最值得購買的加密貨幣預售變得更加容易。聯準會以 8 比 4 的票數決定維持利率不變後,比特幣(BTC)守在 75,889 美元,而 Solana(SOL)則在 84 美元附近盤整,等待季度突破。 已有超過 966 萬美元資金投入 Pepeto,而關於最值得購買的加密貨幣預售問題,焦點集中在擁有實際產品的項目上,在市場恐懼期間資金持續流入的速度,是一個預售所能產生的最強烈信號。 最值得購買的加密貨幣預售:Binance 為所有現貨交易對推出價格保護 根據 CryptoIntegrated 的報導,Binance 於 4 月 14 日對所有現貨交易對啟動了價格範圍執行規則,以在極端波動期間阻止訂單以異常價格成交。最值得購買的加密貨幣預售從這一轉變中受益,因為經過審計且擁有實際產品的項目,現在與那些只提供圖表而別無他物的代幣區分開來。 Binance 價格保護與 2026 年 4 月最佳預售進場機會 Pepeto:一個已經具備 Binance 剛剛強制要求功能的預售項目 Binance 建立價格保護是因為市場需要它,而 Pepeto 建立了更直接的東西。在 PepetoSwap 上的每一筆交易均免手續費,因此持有者進場的倉位就是他們實際持有的倉位。代幣掃描器在資金投入前會檢查每個合約,攔截那些 Binance 新規則旨在阻止的高風險代幣類型,而其跨鏈橋能在 Ethereum、BNB 和 Solana 之間全額轉移資產,轉帳過程中不收取任何費用。SolidProof 已對該系統進行審計並將結果鎖定在鏈上。 所有功能現已上線運行。原始 Pepe 代幣(從零成長至 110 億美元)的幕後推手,在此預售開始前已建置了完整的產品套件,並請來一位前 Binance 高管來負責上市事宜。 該項目的快速成長引來了針對原始網域的針對性攻擊。團隊已透過遷移至新地址作為回應,Pepeto 現在是預售進行的平台。 價格為 0.0000001867 美元,質押年利率為 177% 且每日複利,已有超過 966 萬美元投入,最值得購買的加密貨幣預售正是那個已經提供了 Binance 剛剛告知市場其所需保護的項目。大型市值代幣目標是在數月內翻倍,而此預售的目標是透過一次上市事件達到 100 倍回報。請在進場機會仍然開放時訪問 Pepeto。 比特幣(BTC)價格報 75,889 美元,聯準會以歷史性分歧投票維持利率不變 根據 CNBC 報導,聯準會於 4 月 29 日以 8 比 4 的投票結果將利率維持在 3.5% 至 3.75% 區間後,根據 CoinMarketCap 數據,比特幣(BTC)交易價格為 75,889 美元。Strategy 在 4 月 27 日斥資 2.55 億美元購買後,持有 818,334 BTC。 支撐位在 70,000 美元,阻力位在 78,000 美元,但要實現價格翻倍需要 BTC 突破 150,000 美元,而最值得購買的加密貨幣預售的數學計算更傾向於那些上市回報即時實現的進場機會,而非大型市值代幣的緩慢百分比增長。 Solana(SOL)價格報 84 美元,季度盤整接近尾聲 Solana(SOL)在 80 美元支撐位和 88 美元阻力位之間,交易價格接近 84 美元,季度收盤將決定方向。SOL 以 2026 年首個上漲月結束了 4 月份,現貨 ETF 的申請也提供了機構背書。 但最值得購買的加密貨幣預售歸結於回報差距最大的地方,從 SOL 當前水平來看,這個差距直接指向預售進場機會。 結論: Binance 的新價格保護規則證明市場正在成熟,而比特幣(BTC)和 Solana(SOL)都具有能從這種市場整頓中受益的結構性價值。但它們都處於兆美元和數十億美元的估值區間,最大的百分比漲幅早在多年前就已經實現,等待 BTC 從 75,889 美元翻倍意味著要看著數月時間流逝,而一個週期僅有一次的預售進場機會可能會永久關閉。 原始 Pepe 幣的創辦人在零產品和相同代幣供應量的情況下將其推至 110 億美元,從當前預售價格達到該水平是 150 倍的回報,但這次不同之處在於,一個實際運行的交易所、一個經過驗證的跨鏈橋和一個合約掃描器已經為其提供了支持。 最值得購買的加密貨幣預售是那個在市場恐懼期間資金持續流入、工具已經完備、並且 Binance 上市是觸發點,能將每一筆早期投資轉化為那種遲來的買家將在 2026 年餘下時間裡計算他們錯過了多少的回報。請在預售窗口關閉前訪問 Pepeto,因為這將是市場在上市發生後很長一段時間內都會談論的進場機會。 點擊訪問 Pepeto 網站以參與預售 公告: Pepeto 項目發展迅速,由於其知名度不斷提升,惡意行為者對其官方網站發動了攻擊。臨時網域現已更改為 « PepetoSwap DOT com »,取代 « Pepeto DOT io »,直至另行通知。 用戶在連接錢包或分享個人資訊前,應始終確保自己位於正確的網址。 常見問題 在 Binance 推出其價格保護規則後,最值得購買的加密貨幣預售是什麼? 最值得購買的加密貨幣預售是 Pepeto,它擁有經過 SolidProof 審計的交易所、實際運行的交易工具,以及即將到來的 Binance 上市。在極度恐懼期間籌集超過 966 萬美元,證明了早期持有者的堅定承諾。 在 2026 年 4 月,作為預售進場機會,Solana 與 Pepeto 相比如何? Solana(SOL)交易價格接近 84 美元,雖有 ETF 支持,但從其當前 490 億美元的市值來看,上行空間有限。Pepeto 以預售價格目標是透過一次上市事件實現 100 倍回報,這個回報差距是 SOL 從當前水平無法彌補的。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Meta 即使損失元宇宙800億美元及超過2000萬用戶,仍想加大開支

(SeaPRwire) -   儘管第一季業績強勁,Meta 股價週四暴跌近 9%,部分原因是用戶減少了 2000 萬,且 AI 支出大幅激增,儘管該公司持續向其元宇宙和虛擬實境部門 Reality Labs 注入數十億美元。 該公司於週三下午公布第一季業績,根據提交給美國證券交易委員會的文件,其淨利潤和營收均超過分析師預期,分別達到 268 億美元(部分受益於一次性 80 億美元稅收優惠)和 563 億美元。與去年同期相比,Meta 的營收也增長了 33%,這是五年來最大的同比增幅。 然而投資者顯然更關注壞消息。 與前三個月相比,該公司第一季應用程式系列的全球用戶減少了 2000 萬,Meta 首席財務官 Susan Li 將此挫折歸咎於「伊朗的網路中斷以及俄羅斯對 WhatsApp 的訪問限制」。儘管如此,Li 表示,該公司在包括 Facebook、Instagram 和 WhatsApp 在內的應用程式組合中,錄得了超過 35 億的日活躍用戶,若沒有伊朗和俄羅斯的中斷,其應用程式系列的日活躍用戶將會呈現季度正增長。Meta 尚未回應 的置評請求。 不過,也許更大的問題在於該公司預期的資本支出,這主要歸因於該公司日益關注 AI,導致支出激增了近 100 億美元,達到 1250 億美元至 1450 億美元之間。Li 在週三的財報電話會議上表示,新的預測支出是必要的,因為「即使我們正在大幅擴大產能,但我們仍持續低估了我們的運算需求,隨著 AI 的進步持續,我們的團隊也繼續確定引人注目的新專案和計畫。」 對 Meta 來說值得注意的是,該公司週三還報告稱,它繼續向元宇宙投入數十億美元。在第一季,該公司的元宇宙和虛擬實境部門 Reality Labs 報告營運虧損為 40.3 億美元,儘管該公司已在 2026 年進行了多輪裁員,包括將 Reality Labs 約 15,000 人的員工裁減 10%。Meta 本月初表示,將裁減其總員工數的 10%,即約 8,000 名員工。自 2020 年底開始單獨列報結果以來,該公司在 Reality Labs 上已虧損約 800 億美元。 當 Meta 股價下跌時,Alphabet 股價週四創下歷史新高,收盤上漲超過 9%,同時它也提高了資本支出預期。該公司表示,目前預計支出將在 1800 億美元至 1900 億美元之間,高於此前估計的 1750 億美元至 1850 億美元。 英國投資平台 Hargreaves Lansdown 的分析師 Matt Britzman 在週四的一份報告中寫道,投資者對 AI 支出的看法比以往更加分歧。 「市場對如何解讀這些支出計畫較不一致,投資者仍在試圖平衡 AI 機遇的規模與追逐它所需的資金,」他寫道。 至於 Meta,Britzman 表示,雖然投資者關注成本,但他們可能錯過了該公司強勁的基本面,包括其廣告動能以及改善貨幣化的 AI 進步。 「Meta 看來仍然是巨額投資轉化為核心業務回報的最明顯例子之一,」他寫道。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Representatives from More Than 40 Countries Discuss New Models of Global Growth in Moscow

Moscow, Russia – May 01, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – The 2nd Open Dialogue “The Future of the World: A New Platform for Global Growth” took place in Russia, bringing together experts and young researchers from more than 40 countries who proposed ideas on the development of the economy, technology, education, and the environment. The key unifying principle of the event was a focus on people, international cooperation, and the search for new models of global growth through dialogue and the practical implementation of ideas. The large-scale three-day program at the Russia National Centre has concluded, combining expert discussions, presentations by authors of the best essays from around the world, and informal communication with experts. According to the official remarks, the Open Dialogue has achieved a global footprint that covers the entire planet. “Experts, business leaders, and researchers from 120 countries took part in the essay and creative works competition, including representatives from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Australia, North and South America. All authors and researchers, with diverse experiences and perspectives, were united by a strong and bold idea: to form a shared understanding of the future — the future of a world entering an era of profound structural change. It is evident that no country can develop in isolation, at the expense of other states or to their detriment. Furthermore, modern global challenges require a joint response and collective efforts. This means that the model of global development will be sustainable and fair only if it is based on the principles of equality and mutual respect, and takes into account the interests of all countries,” the honorary guest of the event stated. According to the Russian leader, a multipolar architecture of global development is being formed before our eyes. Within it, an important role is played by states that understand and value national sovereignty. The results of the large-scale event were summarized by Russian economist Maxim Oreshkin: “Russia, in a number of areas, is an advanced country in terms of the development of digital platform solutions. Our approach is one of joint development. When Russian digital platforms enter other countries’ markets, they bring data localization, local partner involvement, training for local personnel, and the development of their own competencies in platform solution development. Russia comes to develop together, not to collect colonial rent from countries that lack access to technological solutions. We are in favor of developing together.” Maxim Oreshkin noted that the reach of the Open Dialogue will continue to grow each year. According to him, significant attention is being paid to the stage of implementing the ideas proposed in the essays. A mentorship format has been introduced — Russian businesses and international companies are beginning to work with essayists, involve them in their projects, and help bring their ideas to life. At the 2nd Open Dialogue, the best essay authors were identified in four areas: “Investing in People,” “Investing in Connectivity,” “Investing in Technology,” and “Investing in the Environment.” The winner in the “Investing in Technology” track was Aya Arfaoui, a student of Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco. She raised the issue of the digital sovereignty of developing countries. According to her, international institutions do not provide sufficient influence in regulating the digital space. Solomon Gardie, a postgraduate student at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, became the winner in the “Investing in Connectivity” track. His essay focused on connectivity and the mobility of sovereign data. He proposed a system in which data is processed and anonymized before cross-border transfer, and only in this form can it be used for the common good. He also noted that, within cooperation in the BRICS+ framework, one of the first areas could be healthcare, particularly epidemiological monitoring and disease control. In the “Investing in the Environment” track, the winner was Soumya Bhowmick, a research fellow at the Observer Research Foundation (India). In his presentation, he stated that for almost 100 years, the world has focused on measuring GDP, which does not reflect a country’s real wealth. The winner of the “Investing in People” track was Lubinda Haabazoka from Zambia. In his speech, he noted that for real convergence among countries of the Global South, not only declarations of multipolarity are needed, but also practical changes in key systems of interaction — primarily in education, which directly affects opportunities for cooperation and knowledge exchange. The future should be built around the individual, their health, agency, and a long, meaningful life, rather than around technologies and outdated systems, believes Dr. Selina Neri, co-founder, CEO, and dean of Future Readiness Academy (UAE), and an expert of the 2nd Open Dialogue in the “Investing in People” track. According to her, this requires new approaches to education, work, and technology development that focus on human flourishing, sovereignty, and the practical implementation of ideas rather than copying ineffective models. More than 1,600 authors from all continents submitted their works to participate in the 2nd Open Dialogue. Seventy-five essay authors hold academic degrees. The conclusions drawn from the discussions will be reviewed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and will be reflected in its business program. Essayists and experts will also be engaged in activities within the BRICS platform and involved in preparations for the Russia–Africa Summit.

6 Factors to Consider Before Choosing a Credit Card That Matches Your Lifestyle

SINGAPORE, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Choosing from the many Credit Cards available in Singapore can feel overwhelming, especially when each option highlights different rewards, fees, and benefits. A card that aligns with your lifestyle can help you manage expenses better while offering value through rewards, convenience, and flexibility. Whether your spending leans towards dining, travel, shopping, or daily essentials, understanding a few key factors can help narrow down choices that match how you live and spend.Here are some important factors that can help you evaluate Credit Cards based on real lifestyle needs rather than just promotional offers.1. Understand your monthly spending patternsBefore comparing Credit Cards, it can help to look closely at where your money usually goes each month. Some Singaporeans may opt to spend on dining and food delivery, while others may prioritise groceries, transport, or online shopping. Identifying these patterns can help you shortlist Credit Cards that reward the categories you use most often. This approach can make rewards feel more relevant, rather than spread across benefits you rarely use.2. Evaluate rewards structure and earning ratesCredit Cards offer rewards in different forms, such as cashback, reward points, or air miles, and each structure suits different spending habits. Cashback Cards may appeal to those who prefer straightforward savings, such as earning rebates on eligible categories, often capped at a monthly limit. Rewards or miles cards may suit frequent travellers or shoppers who enjoy redeeming points later.It's also worth checking the base earn rate, which is what you earn on regular spending, and the bonus earn rates offered for certain categories like dining, travel, or online shopping. Many cards also set bonus caps, meaning the higher rewards only apply up to a certain amount of spending each month. Understanding these details can help you see how much you can realistically earn based on your usual spending.3. Consider annual fees versus actual benefitsAnnual fees for Credit Cards in Singapore can range from around SGD 150 to over SGD 500. Some premium cards offer perks such as lounge access, dining privileges, or travel insurance. However, these additional benefits provide better value if you use them often enough to offset the higher fee. Many cards also provide fee waivers for the first year, which can help users test whether the card fits their lifestyle. Comparing the annual fee against how realistically you will use the perks can help determine whether the overall value feels balanced for your spending habits.4. Assess eligibility and income requirementsIn Singapore, most Credit Cards have minimum annual income requirements, usually starting from SGD 30,000 for citizens and permanent residents, and higher for foreigners. Premium cards may require annual incomes of SGD 120,000 or more. Understanding eligibility early can help avoid unnecessary applications and credit checks. Choosing a card aligned with your income range can also help ensure smoother approval and manageable credit limits that fit comfortably within your financial situation.5. Review interest rates and repayment flexibilityWhile Credit Cards can offer convenience and rewards, interest rates in Singapore often range between 25% and 28% per annum if balances are not paid in full. Some cards offer repayment features, such as instalment plans that split larger purchases into smaller monthly payments, or balance transfer options that can help consolidate existing credit card outstanding balances at a lower interest rate for a promotional period. Looking at repayment features, interest calculations, and payment flexibility can help support responsible usage, especially during months with higher expenses or unexpected costs.6. Check overseas usage and foreign currency feesFor those who travel or shop internationally, foreign currency transaction fees are an important consideration. Most Credit Cards in Singapore charge around 3.25% on overseas transactions. Some travel-focused cards may offer lower fees or even 0% FX fees on eligible transactions, while others may provide higher miles earn rates for foreign spend. Evaluating how often international spending occurs can help decide whether such features can add value or if a general-purpose card works just as well.Final thoughtsChoosing the right Credit Card is less about chasing the biggest offer and more about finding a match for your lifestyle and spending habits. By considering rewards, fees, perks, and usability through a practical lens, Credit Cards can become a supportive financial tool rather than a confusing product. Taking time to compare options thoughtfully can help ensure the card you select continues to add value as your lifestyle evolves.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

Robert Kiyosaki Cautions That a 2026 Market Crash Might Escalate Into a Depression

(AsiaGameHub) -   Robert Kiyosaki has reiterated his warning that a significant market downturn may occur in 2026 or 2027, advising that investors who are ready should focus on acquiring solid assets at discounted prices rather than panicking. Good to Know Kiyosaki says a “giant crash” could arrive in 2026 or 2027. He has repeatedly named Bitcoin, gold and silver as assets he prefers over fiat money. His latest warning frames falling markets as a chance for prepared investors, not a reason to freeze. Kiyosaki Sees A Crash As A Buying Window According to Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," the next economic downturn could be so serious that it mirrors a depression. In an April post on X, he informed his followers that his intention is to leverage a potential 2026-2027 crash to purchase assets at reduced costs instead of retreating. He wrote: “In coming giant crash of 2026-27… I plan on growing richer not poorer. I wish the same for you.” Kiyosaki connected this perspective to previous market collapses, noting that his wealth increased during the crashes of 1987, 2000, 2008, 2015, 2019, and 2022. His argument was not that crashes are comfortable, but that declining prices offer investors with available cash an opportunity to buy desired assets at more affordable levels.He also wrote: “In a crash, recession, and depression, great assets go on sale. Get richer by purchasing assets on sale.” This concept requires some caution for those new to Bitcoin. While a declining market can offer lower entry points, prices may also continue to fall for an extended period. No forecast should be considered a certainty, regardless of the source's prominence in finance. Much of Kiyosaki's recent analysis is centered on his concept of an “Everything Bubble.” He contends that high levels of debt, lenient monetary policies, and diminishing confidence in fiat currencies have made stocks, real estate, pensions, and government-supported systems vulnerable. He cautioned just six months ago that this “Everything Bubble” might burst imminently. This rationale clarifies his frequent endorsement of Bitcoin, gold, and silver. Bitcoin differs from corporate stocks or real estate due to its predetermined supply limit and its independence from a central bank for issuance. In Kiyosaki's view, this positions it as a long-term safeguard against currency devaluation and over-leveraged financial systems.However, Bitcoin remains a volatile asset. A market crash can depress Bitcoin's value along with other risky investments, particularly when investors are liquidating holdings for cash. Therefore, a measured strategy is preferable to a reactive one. Investors with conviction in Bitcoin typically employ tactics like making smaller, consistent purchases, maintaining cash reserves, and refraining from using borrowed funds to invest during price declines. Kiyosaki's point that lower prices can benefit prepared investors may be valid. However, the more prudent lesson is straightforward: establish a plan before market conditions deteriorate, understand your reasons for holding an asset, and never base a Bitcoin investment strategy solely on fear.

Spelinspektionen Introduces Stricter Spelpaus Checks Starting From August

(AsiaGameHub) -   Swedish gambling operators will be subject to more stringent technical regulations for Spelpaus starting August 1, 2026, following Spelinspektionen’s approval of new self-exclusion check standards. Good to Know Spelinspektionen approved the new rules on April 23 and published them on April 29. Licensed operators must utilize unique Actor ID and API Key credentials. Operators remain accountable for compliance, even when third-party vendors handle checks. Updated API Regulations Define Clearer Spelpaus Responsibilities Sweden is tightening controls on how gambling operators connect to Spelpaus, the national self-exclusion register used across the regulated market. Under the new rules, every licence holder will receive a unique Actor ID and API Key. Operators must use these credentials whenever they verify if a player has self-excluded from gambling. The system will apply to registration, login, and direct marketing processes. Spelinspektionen has also separated technical pathways. Operators must use a login API for player registration and login checks, while direct marketing checks must go through a dedicated marketing API. A check is only considered complete once it clearly confirms whether the person is listed in the self-exclusion register.The rules also clarify one key point: the licence holder remains responsible. Operators can use third-party service providers for technical checks, but they cannot transfer compliance duties. The assigned Actor ID and API Key must stay in use at all times. Spelpaus became part of the Swedish gambling market after the 2019 regulatory reform. Licensed operators must block users who have self-excluded, with exclusion options of one month, three months, six months, 12 months, or longer. The register received updates in 2023, including easier access to gambling harm guidance and an option for players to extend their exclusion period. However, some integration details are still missing. The new regulations set the broader technical framework but do not yet include full API specifications, response formats, or service performance standards. Operators will need these details for final integration planning.Spelpaus also faced scrutiny last year after a documentary alleged a data breach. Spelinspektionen rejected the claim and stated the information remained encrypted. A spokesperson said at the time: “There is no information about whether the self-excluded person is addicted to gambling or not.” This article is provided by a third-party.
