• According to the World Platinum Investment Council (“WPIC”), the global platinum market is projected to remain in deficit for multiple years.
• The WPIC points to several key drivers of tightness in the platinum market.
• Platinum Group Metals Ltd. Waterberg Project could enter an increasingly supply-constrained market at a critical time.

A growing body of research suggests the world is entering a period of prolonged platinum scarcity, and the timing could not be more significant for Platinum Group Metals (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM). As deficits deepen, the company is advancing its large-scale Waterberg Project in South Africa, an asset that could help address what analysts describe as a structural platinum shortage with consequences across the automotive, industrial and clean energy sectors.

According to the World Platinum Investment Council (“WPIC”), the global platinum market is projected to remain in deficit for multiple years, with annual shortfalls averaging approximately 8% of total yearly demand (https://ibn.fm/v5VIv). Sprott Asset Management highlights that current above-ground platinum inventories, estimated at roughly 2.5 million ounces in 2025, may be effectively exhausted within three years if deficits persist (https://ibn.fm/lrm2G). The report notes that the supply pinch is rooted in long-term structural issues tied to declining South African production, insufficient new mine development and rising demand from various sectors, including hydrogen technologies as well as hybrid and internal combustion engine catalytic converters.

The WPIC points to several key drivers of tightness in the platinum market. Beyond its traditional use in catalytic converters, platinum is becoming increasingly important in proton exchange membrane hydrogen fuel cells, electrolyzers for green-hydrogen production and emerging zero-emission industrial processes (https://ibn.fm/PNFEt). As hydrogen infrastructure scales, platinum demand may accelerate, heightening the urgency of developing new supply sources. The Sprott report notes that platinum’s unique catalytic properties make it difficult to substitute in these hydrogen related applications, which could force a reprioritization of supply chains and resource strategies.  Platinum can be substituted in catalytic converter applications and increasing demand and prices for platinum may positively affect palladium demand and pricing as well.  

Why do analysts believe inventories could be depleted within three years? The explanation centers on basic math. If platinum deficits average 8% of annual demand and above-ground stocks total about 2.5 million ounces, then consecutive yearly drawdowns could reduce available inventories to critically low levels by the late 2020s. The Sprott analysis suggests that without substantial new mine output, the platinum market could face constrained availability, price volatility and potential supply rationing.

This is where Platinum Group Metals Ltd. and its Waterberg Project become notable. Located on the northern limb of South Africa’s Bushveld Complex, the Waterberg deposit is designed as a bulk, mechanized, decline accessible underground mine with an emphasis on platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold (https://ibn.fm/o7xnJ). The project contains large-scale, shallow, thick mineralized zones suitable for modern, low-cost production methods. The 2024 Waterberg definitive feasibility study highlights the potential for a long-life mine and production profile that could serve both the automotive and emerging hydrogen sectors.

The project is advancing in partnership with major industry players, including Implats and Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (“JOGMEC”), which retains an interest in the metal marketing rights. The Waterberg Project could enter an increasingly supply-constrained market at a critical time. With South Africa currently producing approximately 70% of annual platinum mine supply globally, disruptions or stagnation in production may reverberate through markets. Sprott’s analysis emphasizes that weak investment in new mines over the last decade is one reason platinum supply has not kept pace with evolving industrial requirements.

As platinum inventories diminish, strategic supply diversification becomes increasingly important. Waterberg’s design includes fully mechanized mining, which could provide advantages related to operational safety and labor efficiency. With rising platinum use in hydrogen value chains and continuing demand in internal combustion hybrid vehicles during the energy transition, a new, large-scale project positioned for multi-metal output could enhance security of supply for global manufacturing sectors.

Investors, policymakers and industrial buyers are watching platinum markets closely, and the Waterberg Project may become a relevant part of the Western supply narrative. If WPIC’s deficit projections hold and inventories trend toward exhaustion, mine development timelines are especially significant.

Disseminated on behalf of  SPARC AI Inc. (OTCQB: SPAIF) (CSE: SPAI) and may include paid advertising.

• SPARC AI’s Overwatch platform delivers target acquisition and autonomous navigation without GPS, lidar, radar, or image recognition, relying entirely on advanced mathematical modeling
• Recent commercialization milestones include the Strike 1 demonstration drone, a global reseller agreement with Precision Technic Defence Group, and ATLAS, a zero-signature visibility-mapping engine
• As global militaries prioritize resilient, low-signature autonomy, SPARC AI’s software-first architecture positions the company at the center of a rapidly expanding defense technology market

Modern warfare has entered an era defined by electronic interference. GPS signals can be jammed, spoofed, or selectively disabled. Lidar and radar emissions reveal a platform’s position to adversaries. Cameras relying on machine-learning recognition falter in low visibility, smoke, or cluttered terrain. The vulnerability of these sensor-dependent systems has forced defense organizations worldwide to reconsider how autonomous platforms navigate, identify targets, and maintain situational awareness when denied access to the electromagnetic spectrum. SPARC AI (OTCQB: SPAIF) (CSE: SPAI) has built its business around solving exactly this problem.

A Pure-Software Approach to Precision Geolocation

At the core of SPARC AI’s platform is a suite of spatial, predictive, approximation, and radial convolution algorithms collectively known by the acronym “SPARC.” Rather than depending on GPS, active sensors, or AI image interpretation, the Overwatch system calculates target coordinates and flight paths using only camera input, device telemetry, and mathematical modeling. It operates as a self-contained navigation and geolocation engine, producing precision outputs without broadcasting signals or requiring expensive hardware payloads.

This architecture diverges sharply from traditional autonomy providers that rely on high-power processors, large sensor arrays, and extensive training datasets. SPARC AI’s solution consumes less power, produces no electromagnetic signature, and functions in conditions where visual classifiers and sensor-based algorithms fail. With patents registered across seven countries including the U.S., the platform reflects more than 15 years of foundational research.

Strike 1 Moves the Platform into Commercial Deployment

SPARC AI reached a major milestone on November 12, 2025, when it completed the successful maiden flight of Strike 1, its first custom-built demonstration drone. Equipped with a detachable GPS module, Strike 1 allows operators to switch between GPS-enabled and fully GPS-denied modes, offering immediate proof-of-performance for potential customers.

The company will use the platform to support live demonstrations, partner test programs, and evaluation trials with defense customers. Organizations already operating drone fleets can integrate Overwatch directly into existing hardware via SPARC AI’s newly released Universal API. Compatibility with QGroundControl, a widely used open-source ground station, further lowers integration friction and expands the addressable market.

Global Defense Distribution Through Precision Technic Defence Group

To scale internationally, SPARC AI signed a non-exclusive Preferred Reseller Agreement on November 4, 2025, with Precision Technic Defence Group, a leading defense integrator with more than four decades of experience and operations across Europe, Australia, and the United States. PTD supports military and national-security customers across seven global offices and represents a critical gateway to procurement channels where demand for resilient autonomy is accelerating.

The agreement enhances SPARC AI’s reach by placing its GPS-denied navigation and target-acquisition solutions directly into the hands of defense organizations seeking systems that function in contested electronic environments.

ATLAS Brings Zero-Signature Intelligence to Mission Planning

SPARC AI’s most recent innovation, announced October 31, 2025, extends its software capabilities beyond onboard autonomy. ATLAS integrates Overwatch algorithms into a two- and three-dimensional mission-planning ecosystem capable of running visibility, line-of-sight, and terrain simulations entirely in software.

Traditional visibility mapping requires active sensing hardware (often lidar) that reveals the aircraft’s location and consumes significant power. ATLAS eliminates this exposure by computing visibility scenarios using terrain-aware modeling. Operators can assess dead zones, identify hidden positions, and evaluate reconnaissance routes without flying over hostile terrain or emitting detectable signals.

The result is an intelligence tool that supports pre-mission planning for defense forces, improves search-and-rescue efficiency, and lowers operational cost by removing hardware requirements.

Positioning Within a High-Growth Defense Technology Landscape

SPARC AI’s strategy aligns closely with trends reshaping the defense technology market. Comparable companies have demonstrated how significant the demand for resilient autonomy has become:

• Anduril Industries, valued above $12 billion, has gained traction through AI-enabled surveillance and modular autonomous systems designed specifically for contested operational environments.
• Shield AI, valued over $2.5 billion, built its platform around GPS-denied drone navigation and is an established supplier to U.S. and allied militaries.
• Skydio, now a $1+ billion company, achieved rapid adoption of its computer-vision navigation systems across defense and enterprise customers.

These companies highlight a global shift toward autonomy that functions without reliable GPS, emits minimal signatures, and adapts to contested battlefields. SPARC AI fits squarely within this category, but with a notable differentiator. Whereas competitors rely on sophisticated sensors, computer vision, or AI-recognition models, SPARC AI’s approach is grounded in pure mathematics. This not only reduces power and payload requirements but enhances survivability where spectrum denial is a primary threat.

A Software-Defined Future for GPS-Denied Intelligence

With the Strike 1 demonstration platform advancing commercial engagement, reseller distribution expanding globally, and ATLAS unlocking a new class of pre-mission intelligence capabilities, SPARC AI is positioned to scale precisely as defense organizations rethink their approach to autonomy.

The company’s mission to connect one million devices to Overwatch illustrates both the ambition and scalability of a software-first model. In an era where every signal, watt, and gram matters, SPARC AI offers a zero-signature alternative designed for a world where GPS cannot be assumed.

• The origins of golf trace back to 15th-century Scotland, where the game first took recognizable shape on the eastern coast near Edinburgh.
• Golf offers a unique combination of physical challenge, mental strategy and social connection that few other activities can match.
• Newton Golf’s flagship Newton Motion and Fast Motion shafts have gained significant traction across professional tours.

From the windswept Scottish coastlines where players once struck pebbles over sand dunes with bent sticks to today’s precision-engineered equipment, golf has evolved into a global phenomenon that captivates millions. Newton Golf Company (NASDAQ: NWTG), a technology-forward golf equipment manufacturer,  is committed to enhancing player performance through innovative design. Since its founding in 2018, the company has developed a growing portfolio of premium golf products, including putters, golf shafts, grips and related accessories. 

The origins of golf trace back to 15th-century Scotland, where the game first took recognizable shape on the eastern coast near Edinburgh (https://ibn.fm/AWD8U). In those early days, players would attempt to hit stones over sand dunes and around tracks using a bent stick or club, developing what would become one of the world’s most enduring sports. The game quickly gained such popularity that in 1457, the Scottish parliament of King James II actually banned golf because the nation’s enthusiastic pursuit of the sport led many to neglect their military training as Scotland prepared to defend itself against invasion. Despite this prohibition, the Scottish people largely ignored the ban, demonstrating an early passion for the game that would prove unstoppable.

The turning point for golf came in 1502 when King James IV of Scotland became the world’s first golfing monarch, giving the sport royal approval and legitimacy. This royal endorsement transformed golf from a banned pastime into a celebrated pursuit, and the game’s popularity quickly spread throughout 16th-century Europe. King Charles I brought golf to England, while Mary Queen of Scots introduced the game to France when she studied there. 

Golf’s international expansion accelerated in the late-19th century when the sport crossed into England and found its way to the United States, where it would eventually take root and become a major part of American culture. The United States Golf Association was established in 1894 to regulate the game, and by 1900, more than 1,000 golf clubs had been formed throughout the United States. Scottish soldiers, expatriates and immigrants played a pivotal role in spreading the game globally, taking their beloved sport to British colonies and beyond during the 18th and early-19th centuries. The first golf courses outside of Scotland began appearing in places as diverse as Sierra Leone, India, Mauritius and France, each one a testament to the game’s growing appeal.

Golf offers a unique combination of physical challenge, mental strategy and social connection that few other activities can match. Unlike many sports where age becomes an insurmountable barrier, golf allows players to compete and improve well into their later years, with many golfers reporting that they played their best rounds in their 50s, 60s and beyond. The game also provides a perfect environment for networking and relationship building, with countless business deals and partnerships forged during the several hours spent together on a course without the distractions of modern life. Whether walking the fairways, waiting for a turn to putt, or relaxing at the clubhouse afterward, conversations flow naturally and create genuine connections.

Today’s golf equipment represents a remarkable evolution from those early bent sticks and pebbles. Modern golf has become increasingly driven by technology and precision engineering, with manufacturers seeking to harness scientific principles to improve performance. This is precisely where Newton Golf Company distinguishes itself in the competitive golf-equipment market. Named in honor of Sir Isaac Newton, whose groundbreaking discoveries in physics forever changed understanding of motion and force, the company applies Newtonian principles to every aspect of its design process, creating precision-engineered golf equipment that delivers stability, control and consistency.

Newton Golf’s flagship Newton Motion and Fast Motion shafts have gained significant traction across professional tours, with more than 60 professionals across the PGA TOUR Champions, LPGA and Korn Ferry Tours now using Newton shafts, including multiple major champions and Ryder Cup alumni. The company’s proprietary DOT System eliminates traditional shaft flex definitions, making high-performance shaft technology accessible to golfers of all skill levels through a physics-based fitting experience. This approach resonates with the same spirit of innovation that transformed golf from a simple game played with pebbles and sticks into the sophisticated sport we know today.

As golf continues its centuries-long journey from the Scottish coastline to courses around the world, companies such as Newton Golf Company represent the next chapter in the sport’s evolution. By applying the fundamental laws of physics to golf equipment design, honoring the game’s rich traditions while embracing modern innovation, and delivering measurable performance improvements that resonate with both tour professionals and amateur players, Newton Golf embodies the same pioneering spirit that Scottish golfers demonstrated when they first formalized the rules and spread their beloved game across the globe. The sport that King James II tried to ban in 1457 has become a multibillion-dollar global industry, and with growing participation, technological advancement and companies committed to performance-driven innovation, golf’s future appears as promising as its storied past.

Disseminated on behalf of Silvercorp Metals Inc. (NYSE-A/TSX: SVM) and includes paid advertisement.

• Canadian miner Silvercorp Metals delivered its second-highest year-over-year revenue of its 18-year history, driven by strong production from the Ying Mining District
• Silvercorp expects a sharp increase in the amount of ore mined at Ying during the current quarter, from 265,000 metric tons to approximately 346,000 metric tons
• Q2 2026 gold sales rose 64% YOY, but silver continues to be its primary revenue driver at 67% of the quarterly revenue
• Construction at the El Domo project in Ecuador progressed significantly, with  material cut for site preparation, roads and channel construction increasing by 249%

Precious metals miner Silvercorp Metals (NYSE American/TSX: SVM) is reporting a significant boost to its revenue thanks to increases in the market prices of gold and silver and a corresponding increase in Silvercorp’s production of the precious metals in China during the company’s most recent financial quarter ended Sept. 30.

Overall, the company sold approximately 1.66 million ounces of silver, 2,033 ounces of gold, 14.75 million pounds of lead, and 5.67 million pounds of zinc during the quarter, which amounted to a 23% YOY revenue increase to $83.3 million — the second highest recorded during the company’s history (https://ibn.fm/lhdFA).

“The amount of gold sold in the quarter was up 64% compared to last year,” Silvercorp President Lon Shaver said during a Nov. 7 conference call to discuss the results (https://ibn.fm/WAZmh). “Silver remains our most significant revenue contributor at approximately 67% of net Q2 revenue, followed by lead at 16% and gold at 7%.”

Although production was affected by temporary closures in portions of the Ying complex in China, comprising seven mines and two milling facilities, those areas have reopened and the company expects a stronger final months of the year.

“We expect to mine approximately 346,000 tonnes of ore in this current quarter Q3 compared to the 265,000 tonnes mined in Q2,” Shaver said.  “We invested $6 million in the quarter for ramp and tunnel development to enhance underground access and increased material handling capabilities. This work goes hand-in-hand with our efforts to expand mining capacity across the 4 licenses at Ying,” he added. “We’re now in the process of applying to increase the TLP LM permit to 600,000 tonnes per year with approval expected later this quarter. Once all approvals are in place, Ying’s total permitted annual mining capacity will rise to 1.32 million tonnes from approximately 1 million tonnes currently.”

The company also made significant advances in mine construction at one of its Ecuador properties, increasing the amount of material cut for site preparation, roads and channel construction by 249% to advance the El Domo mine to production.

In addition to progressing the El Domo project in Ecuador, Silvercorp is also developing the company’s underground Condor Gold project. The company looks to release a preliminary economic assessment for a high-grade underground gold operation later this quarter. Additionally, they have been seeking an environmental license and water permits, with plans to build two exploration tunnels into the deposits, where Silvercorp expects to conduct underground detailed drilling.

Silvercorp’s broader growth strategy also includes incubating other companies’ mining projects. Shaver highlighted the company’s investment in New Pacific Metals, stating, “We have a meaningful investment in New Pacific, which is another public company advancing two very attractive-looking silver projects in Bolivia,” during an October interview with Natural Resource Stocks (https://ibn.fm/HzODP). “We’re pretty open-minded to look at what we think could be value-creating, mine-building opportunities for us.”

With rising metal prices, expanding production capacity at Ying, and advancing development activities in Ecuador, Silvercorp enters the next quarter with strong operational momentum and a clear pipeline of growth initiatives.

• Philipson will serve as a strategic advisor to Soligenix, contributing extensive expertise in U.S. economic policy, healthcare regulation and corporate strategy.
• The significance of this appointment lies in the convergence of science, healthcare regulation and policy economics.
• The addition of Philipson complements the company’s mission to develop and commercialize products to treat rare diseases where there is an unmet medical need.

Soligenix (NASDAQ: SNGX) is entering a new phase of strategic breadth and influence with the appointment of a seasoned, high-level scientific and policy adviser who brings rarefied experience at the intersection of economics, government and healthcare innovation. The company, a late-stage biopharmaceutical firm developing treatments for rare diseases, has announced the appointment of Tomas J. Philipson, PhD, as strategic advisor, a move that underscores Soligenix’s ambition to accelerate its lead programs and strengthen its regulatory, commercial and scientific positioning (https://ibn.fm/T1EQ2).

According to the company, Philipson will serve as a strategic advisor to Soligenix, contributing extensive expertise in U.S. economic policy, healthcare regulation and corporate strategy. The announcement notes that he previously served as vice chair and acting chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers and as senior economic advisor to both the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”). Soligenix described the appointment as part of its effort to advance its lead product candidate HyBryte(TM) (SGX301, synthetic hypericin) and its broader pipeline of rare-disease therapeutics, by adding high-level advisory support in business, regulatory and commercialization domains.

The significance of this appointment lies in the convergence of science, healthcare regulation and policy economics at a time when Soligenix is advancing its confirmatory Phase 3 trial of HyBryte for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (“CTCL”). By adding Philipson to its roster, the company signals that it intends to not only execute its clinical agenda but also tighten its strategic framework around reimbursement, payor engagement, regulatory strategy and commercial readiness.

“His extensive experience and relationships at the highest levels of government, including with FDA and CMS, as well as his business savvy brings a vital perspective to today’s policy environment, from healthcare innovation to long-term economic competitiveness,” said Soligenix President and CEO Christopher J. Schaber. “We plan to work closely with Dr. Philipson as we advance our lead product candidate HyBryte, currently in a confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial, as well as our other fast-tracked rare disease pipeline programs toward marketing approval and commercialization worldwide.”

Soligenix’s lead program HyBryte is a photodynamic therapy that uses synthetic hypericin applied topically to skin lesions in CTCL patients, followed by activation with safe visible light approximately 24 hours later. The treatment is designed to reach deeper skin strata than conventional ultraviolet-based phototherapies and avoids certain risks associated with DNA-damaging modalities. The company is actively enrolling patients in its confirmatory Phase 3 FLASH2 trial for HyBryte, with the goal of ultimately achieving regulatory approval and commercialization in a niche yet underserved rare disease indication.

For investors and stakeholders, the new advisor appointment may act as a meaningful catalyst. Rare-disease biotech companies often face extended timelines, regulatory hurdles and complex reimbursement landscapes. By choosing a strategic adviser with deep policy and regulatory networks, Soligenix is signaling its awareness of these commercial dynamics and its readiness to engage with payors, regulators and strategic partners. Given the upcoming milestones for HyBryte and its other pipeline assets, the timing aligns with a broader push toward commercialization rather than only discovery.

Looking ahead, Soligenix appears to be reinforcing its organizational infrastructure, which is often as important as clinical data, to maximize the value of its assets. The addition of Philipson complements the company’s mission to develop and commercialize products to treat rare diseases where there is an unmet medical need. With the plan to push HyBryte through its confirmatory Phase 3 trial and ultimately into the market, the company is installing tools not only for scientific execution but also for market access and strategic scaling.

In an environment where biotech value is increasingly tied to execution and pathway clarity, the addition of Philipson as an advisor  may help the company position itself for the next stage of growth, including partnerships, licensing or broader commercialization of its rare-disease portfolio. For patients, investors and industry watchers alike, the appointment suggests that Soligenix is readying itself for both clinical and market inflection points.

• The company’s computer vision technology for drone imagery processing has been validated through real-world usage and demonstrated that it can improve landmine survey productivity and ROI.
• Some other key developments within the operational update include important collaborations and partnerships, the company accelerating solution development and deployment, and expanding its portfolio of ballistic protection products.

Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI), a tech company and developer of AI-powered security and defense solutions, recently provided an operational update about the company’s progress across its business – AI, drone services, and ballistics (https://ibn.fm/Bea04).

This update comes after SPAI received over $20 million in new investments, including a recent $14 million equity investment at $7 per share led by Ondas Holdings Inc., an autonomous drone technology provider.

The company is using the funds to speed up product development and go-to-market strategies at SPAI’s three main subsidiaries, which are Safe Pro AI, Airborne Response, and Safe-Pro USA.

Safe Pro AI

Powered by the company’s Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (“SPOTD”) platform, Safe Pro’s SpotlightAI(TM) drone imagery processing and analysis software uses AI to autonomously find and identify small explosive threats like landmines and unexploded ordnance (“UXO”).

The technology has been validated through analyzing over two million real-world images from operations in Ukraine. A next-gen embedded version of SpotlightAI(TM), called InFlight, is also now being integrated into Red Cat Holding’s Black Widow drone, which is being used by the U.S. Army.

The company has also developed and demonstrated SPOTD NODE (Navigation, Observation & Detection Engine) to U.S. Army stakeholders. Guided by user feedback and based on the company’s experience in Ukraine, SPOTD NODE is an edge-based mapping and drone imagery processing solution that works without internet connectivity to provide quick and effective situational awareness to ground teams in challenging areas.

The company, alongside Norwegian People’s Aid (“NPA”), also recently presented a study that demonstrated that SpotlightAI(TM) can improve demining non-technical survey (“NTS”) productivity by more than 800% and detect 550% more UXO and other explosive remnants of war (“ERW”) per hectare than conventional techniques. The results also showed that it can significantly increase accuracy, while also cutting NTS surveying costs by around 50% per hectare (1 hectare = 2.47 acres).

Airborne Response

Airborne Response, Safe Pro’s drone services subsidiary, has begun support of an autonomous drone-based asset inspection solution. Using self-docking drones from Skydio, Airborne Response’s customers are able to perform fully remote inspections of power infrastructure, which cuts response times and provides useful intelligence for ground teams.

It also continues to improve the Drone-as-a-First Responder (“DFR”) program with a police department in South Florida, which demonstrates that Safe Pro has the capability to improve emergency response and situational awareness in several settings and use cases.

Safe-Pro USA

The company’s ballistic protection unit, Safe-Pro USA is going through the certification process under NIJ 0101.07 standards for a new line of thin and light body armor. This division is also working to finish up ISO 9001 certification, an international standard that verifies a company’s quality management system. Both of these are key requirements to access both state and federal contracts.

Safe-Pro USA is also testing lightweight composite armor kits for government and police vehicles, which are designed to stand up to high-powered rifle fire without impacting the performance of the vehicle.

Speaking about the operational update as a whole, Dan Erdberg, the Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group said that the company is “entering a new phase of execution and scale.”

He also added that, “With a strengthened balance sheet and strong partners in the drone and defense sectors, we are accelerating the deployment of our AI, aerial services and ballistic products to serve critical defense, infrastructure, public safety and Humanitarian missions globally.”

The Valor Preservation Coin exemplifies that mission, ensuring proof aligns with purpose and that verified identity remains immutable and protected.”

Datavault AI’s involvement in these events aligns with a broader strategic mission: to create verifiable, secured data systems that support legacy, identity and authenticity through technology. By presenting at high-profile national events connected to veteran recognition, the company underscores both the practical utility of its technologies and the moral imperative behind them. In doing so, it positions itself not just as a technology firm but as a stakeholder in public-service authentication and digital trust, a differentiation that may support its broader enterprise ambitions in credentialing, defense, identity-verification contracts and data monetization.

The company noted that the Valor Preservation Coin functions as a tokenized credential within the VerifyU system, supporting proposed U.S. legislation H.R. 327, the “Valor Earned Not Stolen Act of 2025,” which aims to digitize DD214 documents and prevent fraudulent military service claims through a secure, ledger-based system that meets DoD, NIST, FISMA and VA data-security standards. This intersection of regulation, technology and service is central to Datavault’s value proposition: delivering government-grade credential verification backed by its intellectual-property portfolio and data-engagement platforms.

Datavault AI’s broader platform comprises an Acoustic Science Division (including WiSA(R), ADIO(R) and Sumerian(R) patents) and a Data Science Division supporting Web 3.0, high-performance computing, immersive data experiences and monetizable asset frameworks (https://ibn.fm/wkdsB). The company’s cloud-based solutions span multiple industries, including sports and entertainment, education, fintech, healthcare and real estate, which reinforces its ability to apply credentialing and digital-identity systems across broad market contexts.

By participating in national veterans-recognition events and showcasing its core technologies in forums aligned with public policy, Datavault AI is advancing a narrative of technology meeting purpose. The company’s demonstration highlights how its products may transition from innovation labs into real-world applications for both public-sector and commercial clients. For investors and observers, this demonstrates a tangible step in the company’s evolution, from technology creation to deployment, public-purpose alignment and market readiness.

As the company continues to move its VerifyU and Valor Preservation Coin initiatives forward, its presence in veteran-recognition forums provides a window into how it seeks to scale its platform from outset to enterprise-grade deployment.

• This milestone is significant because regulatory pathways for orphan diseases such as CTCL often hinge not only on efficacy, but on establishing a favorable safety profile.
• Soligenix’s announcement arrives amid mounting interest in HyBryte[TM] as a novel skin-directed therapy.
• For biotechnology companies working in rare diseases, reaching a safety milestone means one major hurdle is cleared and focus can shift more explicitly to efficacy and regulatory strategy.

In a key development that underscores the advancing clinical trajectory of its lead therapy, Soligenix (NASDAQ: SNGX) announced that the Data Monitoring Committee (“DMC”) overseeing its confirmatory Phase 3 FLASH2 trial of HyBryte(TM) has reported no safety concerns to date, affirming the therapy’s safety profile. Soligenix, a biopharmaceutical company focused on rare diseases and treatments with substantial unmet need, is developing HyBryte (synthetic hypericin) for early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (“CTCL”) and is now advancing toward critical milestones in 2026.

According to the company, the DMC concluded that there are no safety issues with the ongoing Phase 3 trial (https://ibn.fm/NGMxi). The study, named FLASH2, builds on the earlier Phase 3 FLASH trial and will enroll approximately 80 subjects with early-stage CTCL, patch or plaque phase disease (https://ibn.fm/VNG61). With the safety signal confirmed, the company plans to provide an enrollment update in the fourth quarter of 2025 and aims for a blinded interim efficacy analysis in the first half of 2026.

This milestone is significant because regulatory pathways for orphan diseases such as CTCL often hinge not only on efficacy, but on establishing a favorable safety profile. The absence of safety concerns at this stage may de-risk the program from an investor or licensing perspective.

Soligenix’s announcement arrives amid mounting interest in HyBryte as a novel skin-directed therapy. The product uses synthetic hypericin activated by visible light to treat lesions in CTCL patients. According to the company, its earlier Phase 3 FLASH trial enrolled some 169 patients (166 evaluable) with Stage IA, IB or IIA CTCL and demonstrated a 49% response rate after 18 weeks (p < 0.0001 versus placebo) in patients completing therapy (https://ibn.fm/zpXC9). Additional data from an investigator-initiated study reported 75% of evaluable patients achieving at least a 50 % reduction in lesion severity score (“mCAILS”) at 18 weeks (https://ibn.fm/KGzxt). These results highlight both the potential activity and tolerability of the therapy.

The ongoing FLASH2 study is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in approximately 80 patients, testing 18 continuous weeks of treatment with HyBryte versus placebo, with the primary endpoint to be assessed following that 18-week period. This extended continuous treatment period, versus the previous three-cycle design, is intended to reflect a more “real-world” therapy course and may provide a more robust demonstration of benefit.

For biotechnology companies working in rare diseases, reaching a safety milestone means one major hurdle is cleared and focus can shift more explicitly to efficacy and regulatory strategy. Soligenix’s ability to report no safety concerns builds confidence among investors, partners and regulators. According to Zacks Small-Cap Research, the company confirmed the safety milestone and is now preparing for an interim efficacy readout while enrollment continues to track with expectations. With this in hand, licensing conversations, potential partnerships and investor sentiment may accelerate.

Beyond safety, the broader program context is compelling. CTCL is a rare, chronically debilitating skin lymphoma for which treatment options remain limited, especially in early stage disease. HyBryte’s mode of action, topical application of synthetic hypericin followed by visible light activation, offers a skin-directed, potentially safer alternative to systemic therapies or more invasive treatments (https://ibn.fm/viIvg). The company emphasizes the therapy can treat both patch and plaque lesions, has a relatively benign side-effect profile and could potentially be adapted for home or office use. Supporting data show only 2.4% of treated patients in the prior trial experienced serious adverse events, and most adverse events were mild skin-related issues such as pruritus or erythema. 

With the DMC safety declaration achieved, Soligenix is well positioned to shift toward its upcoming milestones: completion of enrollment, announcement of the interim efficacy readout in the first half of 2026, and eventual regulatory submissions in the United States and Europe if results are positive. The company’s pipeline and strategy align well with an orphan disease framework, supported by prior data, regulatory incentives (including Orphan Drug designation), and a therapy approach that addresses a clear unmet medical need.

NOTE TO INVESTORS: The latest news and updates relating to SNGX are available in the company’s newsroom at https://ibn.fm/SNGX

• Q3 2025 revenue rose 37% quarter-over-quarter, marking the company’s strongest period since the 2022–24 mortgage downturn.
• Operating expenses declined 9%, with Beeline projecting profitability by early 2026.
• Debt-free balance sheet achieved following the divestiture of legacy operations.
• Blockchain-based BeelineEquity product gains traction, completing multiple transactions with strong early user feedback.
• Company expands warehouse lending capacity to $25 million, supported by new banking partnerships.

Beeline Holdings (NASDAQ: BLNE), a fast-growing digital mortgage platform redefining the path to homeownership, reported third-quarter 2025 revenue growth of 37% and a 9% reduction in operating expenses, underscoring the company’s progress toward profitability and scale. The lender also confirmed it is debt-free, following strategic divestitures that refocused the business on digital lending and blockchain-enabled home equity products (https://ibn.fm/LEQwQ).

The company’s Q3 2025 results reflect accelerating loan originations and improving operational efficiency. Beeline generated $69.8 million in loan originations, up 35% from the previous quarter, while net revenues rose to $2.3 million, extending a steady upward trend through 2025.

October was the strongest month since the real estate slowdown, with $35.3 million in new originations, already representing half of the prior quarter’s total. Based on current trends, Beeline projects a 65% increase in originations in Q4 2025.

Operating expenses declined to $5.2 million, down from $5.6 million in Q2, with adjusted EBITDA improving to –$2.0 million, compared with –$2.8 million the previous quarter. The company expects operating profitability for Beeline Loans by November and for Beeline Holdings overall in early 2026.

A major contributor to Beeline’s growing pipeline is BeelineEquity, the company’s fractional home-equity sale platform built on blockchain infrastructure. The product enables homeowners to sell a portion of their property’s equity to access liquidity without taking on new debt or monthly payments. BeelineEquity has now closed six blockchain-recorded transactions, with four more cleared for closing and 25 additional applications targeted before year-end. Early users have been vocal about the platform’s simplicity and value.

The first review of the Beeline Equity product read: “Thank you Beeline for leveraging the BlockChain to create liquidity for myself. I sold 17% of my home to generate approximately $200,000 in cash. With the Beeline Equity product, I don’t have any monthly payments and this is a pure sale of equity. I have up to 3 years to buy it back at very fair terms and if not the money is not paid back until my home is sold. Very creative Beeline. This product is going to explode. The transaction was easy. Highly recommend it.”

The testimonial reflects a growing appetite among homeowners for alternatives to traditional refinancing or home equity loans. According to the company, BeelineEquity provides liquidity for homeowners who want to unlock value without credit checks or rising interest-rate exposure.

In October, Beeline announced a major expansion of its warehouse lending capacity from $5 million to $25 million, supported by new partnerships with Customers Bank and Northpointe Bank, and an expanded facility with First Funding (https://ibn.fm/F2SK5). Warehouse lines typically turn over three times per month, meaning Beeline now has the ability to originate up to $75 million in loans monthly, allowing the lender to meet increasing borrower demand as interest rates trend lower.

Beeline’s technology stack continues to underpin its strategy. The company’s AI-driven production engine “Hive” and mortgage chatbot “Bob” help automate underwriting and borrower communication, enabling faster approvals and reduced costs.

Beeline’s digital mortgage process provides 90% certainty on approval decisions within seven to eight minutes, targeting both first-time homebuyers and real estate investors. The company reports that a growing share of its loans are being used for investment properties, allowing millennials and Gen Z borrowers to enter the housing market as property investors rather than solely as homeowners.

According to the National Mortgage Professional, only 26.1% of Gen Z and 54.9% of millennials owned homes in 2024, a sign of untapped potential in these demographics (https://ibn.fm/g7O2h). Beeline says its simplified, mobile-first mortgage experience aims to address the barriers these generations face in accessing credit.

The company’s strong Q3 performance follows a period of restructuring that saw Beeline divest its legacy spirits business and strengthen its balance sheet. With zero debt, growing revenues, and controlled costs, management says it is now positioned for sustainable expansion into 2026.
