Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, it is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and applications without central authority control. Unlike Bitcoin, which primarily functions as digital currency, Ethereum operates as a programmable global computer where developers can create any type of decentralized service.   The platform hosts over $14 billion in DeFi applications with hundreds of thousands of active users across financial protocols, NFT marketplaces, and gaming platforms. Its transition to Proof of Stake in September 2022 reduced energy consumption by over 99%, addressing environmental concerns while strengthening network security.  The network operates through thousands of independent validator nodes that process transactions and execute smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Smart contracts are self-executing programs written in Solidity that automatically carry out agreements when conditions are met, eliminating intermediaries like banks or brokers.   Validators stake ETH as collateral to propose and validate blocks, earning rewards for honest participation while facing penalties for malicious behavior. The EIP-1559 upgrade introduced a dynamic base fee mechanism that burns ETH with each transaction, creating deflationary pressure during high network activity when more ETH is burned than issued to validators.  Vitalik Buterin proposed Ethereum in 2013, but seven co-founders helped build it, including Gavin Wood who created Solidity and the EVM technical specification, and Joseph Lubin who founded ConsenSys. The project launched in July 2015 after raising over $18 million through crowdfunding, quickly becoming the largest blockchain developer community. Major milestones include the 2020 Beacon Chain launch, the 2021 London hard fork implementing fee burning, and the 2022 Merge to Proof of Stake.   Ether (ETH) serves multiple functions: paying transaction fees (gas), staking to secure the network and earn 3-5% annual yields, serving as collateral in DeFi protocols, and purchasing NFTs and digital assets. The asset is increasingly adopted by traditional institutions, with publicly traded companies adding ETH to corporate treasuries to generate staking yields while maintaining blockchain exposure, and in 2024, the SEC approved spot Ethereum ETFs, allowing traditional investors to gain exposure through conventional brokerage accounts.  Ethereum's roadmap focuses on dramatically increasing transaction capacity to over 100,000 per second, reducing confirmation times, and enhancing decentralization while maintaining security against future threats like quantum computing.

Ethereum

Ethereums sharp pullback and choppy recovery dominate discussion, with traders debating whether the decline is a leverage-driven shakeout and buying opportunity or the start of a deeper crypto downturn. Some also blame BitMines planned cap on ETH purchases for weakening demand, while others point to broader market pressure and liquidations.

<h2 class="article-sub-headline">By lowering the engineering effort between an idea and the hardware, the new feature enables faster experimentation while keeping scientists in control</h2>PARIS, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pasqal (Nasdaq: <a class="mention" data-mention="$PSQL" data-symbol-id="PSQL" href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/PSQL" target="_blank">PSQL</a>), a global leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, today announced the availability of an AI-assisted workflow on Pasqal Cloud. Available as a plugin for leading agentic coding environments, the new feature can take a well-defined scientific idea to a running experiment on a quantum processing unit (QPU), significantly reducing the engineering effort that has long stood between an idea for a quantum use case and its execution on hardware.As quantum computers become easier to access through the cloud, the challenge is shifting from hardware availability to how researchers design, run and interpret quantum experiments. Translating a protocol into a hardware-ready job still requires specialized engineering expertise and significant time. As a result, many promising ideas go untested, even when suitable hardware exists.The AI-assisted workflow orchestrates the full pipeline. Starting from an experiment described in a paper or conceived as an original idea, it extracts or formalizes the protocol, translates it into a hardware-ready quantum job, validates it in emulation, submits it through the cloud and processes the results into scientific observables."The bottleneck in quantum computing is shifting,” said Wasiq Bokhari, CEO of Pasqal. “The engineering work that once demanded a researcher's attention can increasingly be automated, allowing researchers to focus more fully on the science. Our QPUs are deployed and accessible in the cloud today. With this AI-assisted workflow lowering the barrier to using them, we are making quantum computing power available to a much broader community."Rather than replacing scientists, the workflow is designed to keep scientific judgment at the center. It coordinates the engineering and removes friction, while ideation, validation and decisions about what to measure and whether a result genuinely supports a physical claim, remain with the users.The AI-assisted workflow can be installed as a plugin in leading agentic coding environments, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and others. Experiments can then be run on three Pasqal Cloud QPUs available to external users: Ruby, operated by GENCI at CEA, located in France, FC1, located in Sherbrooke (Québec, Canada) and SA1, located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.To learn more about the AI-assisted workflow, read our blog post, "<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=bs3wi84JKBWZDx_TEp_1ZaDY_ibcrG7KYY-ARhJlRA7kjZAGS4MqvBq4-qvYENaOUYuizR3NdfiXxbaCguDQnEvIZ5MBtFA1t12jdCOwhuD_XXsl6dvXnBHtlmE5xKXtEUtURC4hBXh0cFL4YX6HgVJkUPW01fzfkRwNuV3IYdaOGjOTwpTNK-Om5nVDlWHUPK7M8DKI64Zi2ORKu2wOAPOIlCdsXfUKc2AJtr2lCw94rYvk695065dHTOg28gZfNbIhFcqaSZ9CMFTnSTgVeoGZNN8uBfQftp50Ii7Fo7Rxsn7Sjfif7UWjLqJw9HNLG1rHx0FNUrbEXWgM_23bwA==">Turning Ideas into QPU Experiments: How Agentic Workflows Make Quantum Computing More Accessible</a>," for a full technical deep dive, or visit the <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=wW-0Cn33FFMvdyEUwxYeqRu1apJ0YLFPdvqxdxq_ZI571SJMWIy7SH018lVP6aEl1pSntf_FPkVnY6DVY3Zn98-iCf6uwYpYGDdf1FfdjV9-dHOQjrVZWoH8QavB9LPT">documentation</a>.ContactsInvestors <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=hfisH--0UbPOUrCGi8lSlPuEO5-YvmbTBMLjsl_Ds0c4C3ebOS1lB6K-8yfyFhR2lDi28zLmGRWlJKXcGaD3hrKsJb-hWeNz8GtaexS55t-aJox0y4zlKY67_3QMfZLVs9B7bdWZZypGEwE2QZMqlEucawJvro2x7NrBnVl14-mOl3Fg4h_tTUJjHOtxT2iaeLNo0_2Dzvb5VvWAIQMEbhLLBKJmGI3GdHjAVR64t0WdClpiEFOFtiK0lbERQj1z5PeorLnpwsGxz-MxBGo-l2QSx1hSQrBDso_jmWs31oF2FJtujaoT6puP2iwBVZnKSHwaU7s33xQhSkoS4jqbzBoJ6zKHoIipKy3MZNRpmGKqYjR9nxH0lSXDAW6RbTL7wR_C1jFR7-j8iiMgikkCSZ4FK6adPP1mPKMlyNXNT_wDTysVmQu17dPXML1b_1Fh6xvT8WWr7cNC4tC0m5zX7edf-DaFDzm6KF_GBJQbwQAg61nbPaVvr-sS9WJm82rK">investors@pasqal.com</a>&nbsp;Media <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=z2GoM7ztAMfIwo5IEmS7ECHhnBU6wIiRVdLaVZvqnyGvd_anQ90IFMlsu77RlnWMBgzVXT5moKLM3BIad05DmSCG1EKc4eWUgkBIxf5Ou_LR_2aziB7VM-zT0Jd446WI_FT8a3PQDX88rWCcXi_0VXMC4KqkBUM8qwVZ5Es5hsrdhbEp2hENKa2SCQ5x7t4wFtsF8JmbzBfA7HpKuQYTvTrrjSCCkcCzrL6VUopVI6bqsYdB4ctXKw5LOEcuAU-p9igNkzf1G07v2znoLR-PfvE6h0mcbIHPGB_17-HR1ZNP1Fp-b4nGFcNe4qxQwqrwbhgnqy-SRR3TByZ2XET2_dQ40D4DUADcuarDPn9JMCYsLYay86ErrnTOnlg1vxBdcnqwrtOMIKQTAj9769GLdnxF23AsM5bwJ2KhJBS5d4ZjYoGYas2ZFTVUODJ1zDWS">pr@pasqal.com</a>About Pasqal Pasqal (Nasdaq: PSQL) helps organizations tackle problems that are difficult or impossible to solve with conventional computing methods alone.

Winner is the first operating company to join that platform through SPD.Winner is a Sharon, Pennsylvania-based company formed in 2013 as a joint venture with a leading national research institute. It has developed and demonstrated a proprietary metallurgical process that recovers rare earth elements, scandium, and alumina from coal ash impoundments — a domestic stockpile that has already been mined, is readily accessible, and has first mover advantage over any new source of domestic REE. Winner does not need to wait for permits, or open a new mine, to produce critical minerals.The transaction is expected to close in connection with SPD’s combination with Mobix Labs, subject to approval by the stockholders of Winner and Mobix Labs, effectiveness of a registration statement covering the shares to be issued, applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, and other customary conditions.Ten years of federal funding, awarded in sequenceWinner stands out from the broader, critical-minerals field due to its ground-up, decadal commitment to rare earth processing expertise and its record of success in so doing. Over ten years, Winner and its research partners have received funding from the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense through six consecutive awards totaling $53 million, with no gap year — each award building on the prior’s highly favorable outcomes. In August 2026, with federal funding, Winner broke ground on its rare earth extraction demonstration plant at the National Carbon Capture Center in Wilsonville, Alabama.

Karen has kept a technically demanding company funded, focused, and advancing for more than a decade, and built a team that two federal agencies have chosen to back over and again,” said Paul Singarella, Chief Executive Officer of SPD. “We have worked alongside Karen, Winner President Todd Beers, and the rest of the Winner team for several years, complementing each other’s strengths, and building toward this combination; and we are thrilled to reach this milestone with them. Together, we are at the center of addressing the Nation’s current dependence on foreign sources and supply chains to meet its critical minerals demands.”Sed’s father, Jim Winner, was the visionary developer of the anti-theft, steering wheel lock people know as <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwinner-intl.com%2Fthe-club-legacy%2F&amp;esheet=54615555&amp;newsitemid=20261005335144&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=The+Club%26%23174%3B&amp;index=6&amp;md5=6ad5309b4c095cc21931ebf6c9ee7b17">The Club®</a>, as well as the driving force across multiple businesses and industries, including Winner Water. “I am very proud to be carrying forward my dad’s legacy, the building of our Winner Water team, and the critical minerals expertise that team has gained over the last decade,” said Karen. “The timing is now to position Winner to meet the capital requirements needed for our infrastructure build.

U.S.-Based Rare Earth Company Winner Water to Join SPD and Mobix Labs (Nasdaq: MOBX) National Security Matters Initiative

SPD to combine with Winner Water, a coal-ash rare earth recovery firm and the first operating company joining Mobix Labs' national security platform.

Mobix Labs Inc

Vancouver, British Columbia, October 6, 2026 — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: <a class="mention" data-mention="$ZENA" data-symbol-id="ZENA" href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ZENA" target="_blank">ZENA</a>) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech” or the “Company”), a technology solution provider specializing in AI-powered drones, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS and Quantum Computing solutions, provides an update on the ZenaDrone 2000, its heavy-lift autonomous interceptor designed to counter hostile drones and coordinated swarm attacks over land and sea. ZenaDrone is building the first full prototype and part of an integrated defense system, at its facility in Sharjah, UAE, and now expects to begin flight testing in the first quarter of 2027.Recent build milestones include:<ul><li>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Airframe and folding arm structure completed</li><li>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Gasoline propulsion system and 36-inch propellers bench-tested</li><li>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Flight controller and autonomy software in ground testing</li></ul>Once assembly is complete, the first flight test phase will validate takeoff, hover and landing at full and partial payload, endurance toward the 4+ hour hover rating, the 360-degree detection system, and autonomous navigation. Later phases are expected to add autonomous threat pursuit, multi-target engagement, swarm coordination with the Interceptor P-1, and maritime launch and recovery from ZenaDrone’s IQ Glider marine launch and refueling station. &nbsp;<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Specification</td><td>ZenaDrone 2000</td></tr><tr><td>Max takeoff weight</td><td>200 kg</td></tr><tr><td>Payload capacity</td><td>40 kg</td></tr><tr><td>Hover endurance</td><td>4+ hours</td></tr><tr><td>Propulsion</td><td>Gasoline, 4 × 36-inch propellers</td></tr><tr><td>Sensors</td><td>Cameras providing 360-degree coverage</td></tr><tr><td>Footprint (folded / deployed)</td><td>224.8 × 82.0 cm / 180.4 × 365.8 cm</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> The ZenaDrone 2000 is designed to fill a gap between small, single-use interceptors and costly missile-based air defense. Its long endurance capability allows it to stay airborne over a base, port, vessel or border crossing for hours, while its 40 kg payload supports heavier sensors and counter-drone effectors. Paired with the low-cost Interceptor P-1, which recently began its own flight testing, it is designed to give defense customers a layered system: the ZenaDrone 2000 watches and coordinates, and P-1 interceptors engage.“The ZenaDrone 2000 is the largest and most capable aircraft we have built, and we are taking the time to get the prototype right before it flies,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. “Militaries, navies and border agencies need counter-drone systems that can stay on station for hours and respond to many threats at once, at a cost they can field at scale. With the Interceptor P-1 already inflight testing and the ZenaDrone 2000 moving through its build, we are assembling a complete, affordable counter-UAS layer for the U.S., our allies and partners in the Middle East for a counter-UAS market that industry analysts indicate could exceed USD $20 billion by 2030.”Recent conflicts across the Middle East and beyond have exposed a glaring imbalance in modern air defense economics. Gulf nations and their allies have been forced to deploy interceptor missiles costing hundreds of thousands — or even millions — of dollars to destroy drones from hostile nations that could be valued at $20,000. This unsustainable cost asymmetry is being exploited by adversaries who can field swarms of low-cost, slow-moving aerial threats faster than conventional defense systems can economically respond. The global defense community has recognized that the most practical, scalable, and affordable answer to the drone threat is not another expensive missile — it is a better, smarter, faster drone.ZenaTech expects to announce further updates on the ZenaDrone 2000 as milestones are achieved and as the prototype build is complete.About ZenaTech <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.zenatech.com/">ZenaTech</a>, Inc.

<h2 class="article-sub-headline">November 17 meeting will address Phase 2 study design and potential regulatory pathways</h2>CALABASAS, Calif., Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: <a class="mention" data-mention="$NTHI" data-symbol-id="NTHI" href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NTHI" target="_blank">NTHI</a>) (“NeOnc” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapies for central nervous system (CNS) cancers, today announced that it is scheduled to meet with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on November 17, 2026, for an in-person End-of-Phase 1 Type B meeting concerning NEO212. The meeting is scheduled to take place at FDA’s White Oak campus in Silver Spring, Maryland.The Company plans to seek FDA feedback on its NEO212 clinical development program, including an update to its proposed patient population, trial design, endpoints, dose selection and evidence needed to support a future marketing application. The meeting provides an opportunity for discussion; its scheduling does not establish FDA agreement on a trial design, an accelerated approval pathway or eventual approval of NEO212.In September 2025, FDA authorized the Company to proceed with the Phase 2a and Phase 2b portions of NEO212-01.This meeting follows completion of the Phase 1 dose-escalation portion of the NEO212-01 Phase 1/2 clinical trial. NeOnc previously reported that dose escalation was discontinued following a dose-limiting toxicity at 810 mg, administered once daily on Days 1 through 5 of a 28-day cycle, and that 610 mg was selected as the recommended Phase 2 dose.NeOnc also reported encouraging clinical activity observed during the Phase 1 portion of the trial. In one patient with recurrent IDH1 wild-type, MGMT-methylated glioblastoma (GBM), treatment with NEO212 resulted in a partial response, including an approximately 60% reduction in tumor size, followed by prolonged disease control lasting 21 treatment months. This duration of disease control is notable in the setting of recurrent GBM, where outcomes following recurrence have historically been limited.In a second patient with lung cancer metastatic to the brain who had previously received and progressed following multiple lines of therapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, treatment with NEO212 was associated with stable disease lasting approximately 16 months. Patients with brain metastases from lung cancer who have progressed following multiple prior systemic therapies represent a population with substantial unmet medical need and historically limited treatment options.While these individual patient outcomes do not establish efficacy and require confirmation in larger studies, the durability of responses observed during Phase 1, together with the established recommended Phase 2 dose, provides the clinical rationale for further evaluation of NEO212 in the Phase 2 portions of the NEO212-01 trial. Building on these findings, NeOnc intends to discuss its potential registrational development strategy and to seek FDA feedback on whether a proposed trial design could support a potential accelerated approval pathway.“We have completed dose escalation and selected a recommended Phase 2 dose for NEO212,” said Amir Heshmatpour, Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of NeOnc. “This meeting will help us understand FDA’s feedback on the population, study design and endpoints for the next stage of development. We may update our plans after evaluating the agency’s feedback.”About High-Grade GliomaHigh-grade gliomas, including glioblastoma, are serious brain cancers with substantial unmet medical need. Treatment may include surgery, radiation and drug therapy, but recurrence is common.About NEO212NEO212 is an investigational oral conjugate of temozolomide and NEO100. It is being studied for CNS cancers, including recurrent glioblastoma. Preclinical studies support further evaluation of its potential activity and delivery characteristics; clinical efficacy and safety have not been established. NEO212 is being developed under an FDA investigational new drug application.About NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc.NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapies for CNS cancers. Its investigational programs include intranasal NEO100 and oral NEO212. Neither product is approved by FDA for commercial use. The Company has licensed intellectual property from the University of Southern California relating to its development programs.For more information, visit https://neonc.com.Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the anticipated date and format of the FDA meeting, the topics to be discussed, future clinical trial design, a potential registrational development strategy, possible accelerated approval, and the clinical potential of NEO212. These statements reflect current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties. FDA feedback may differ from the Company’s proposals; the meeting may be rescheduled or its format changed; additional clinical, nonclinical or manufacturing work may be required; future studies may not demonstrate safety or efficacy; and no regulatory pathway or marketing approval is assured.
