Speculation that Keith Gill (Roaring Kitty) is active again is driving the buzz, with traders pointing to updates on his obscure 'Mr. Wizard' forum account  including a '+++++' mood change some read as a signal of a new buy  though others caution it stays unconfirmed until Gill posts publicly. Excitement is layered over bullish momentum chatter tied to CEO Ryan Cohen's disclosed open-market share purchase and Jim Cramer's bullish endorsement, which a vocal part of the community treats as a contrarian 'reverse Cramer' warning.

Critical Metals Corp. engages in the mining, exploration, and development of lithium metals. It owns Wolfsberg Project and Tanbreez Project. The company was founded on October 24, 2022 and is headquartered in British Virgin Islands.

CRML is surging after Trump announced a US-Denmark-Greenland agreement granting the US permanent security control over Greenland, driving a sharp rally across Greenland-linked names and fueling heavy short-squeeze speculation among retail traders. While most of the community is bullish, some traders argue the security pact, which has yet to be formally signed, is not a minerals deal and does not directly change the economics of CRML's Tanbreez rare-earth project.

Intuitive Machines shares are sliding sharply alongside a broader space-sector selloff, frustrating traders who note the decline is happening despite the confirmed handover of the SXM-11 satellite to SiriusXM. Bulls point to the satellite milestone and an anticipated NASA CLPS 2.0 contract award as reasons to buy the dip, while bears call it a continued downtrend or bull trap, with some alleging short-side manipulation.

NEAR Protocol is the blockchain for AI. A high-performance, AI-native platform built to power the next generation of decentralized applications and intelligent agents. It provides the infrastructure AI needs to transact, operate, and interact across Web2 and Web3. NEAR combines three core elements: User-Owned AI, which ensures agents act in users’ best interests; Intents and Chain Abstraction, which eliminate blockchain complexity for seamless, goal-driven transactions across chains; and a sharded blockchain architecture that delivers the scalability, speed, and low-cost execution needed for real-world AI and Web3 use. This integrated stack makes NEAR the foundation for building secure, user-owned, AI-native applications at internet scale.

Near

NEAR is surging on the launch of privacy-by-default perpetual futures trading powered by Hyperliquid, with traders citing unusually heavy volume and framing the move as a catch-up play to Zcash given their widely discussed 1:1 correlation. Bulls promote NEAR as a leading layer-1 on privacy, AI, and quantum-resistant narratives, while skeptics view the rally as a whale-driven pump with no merit and some traders are shorting into it.

Sovereign frontier cloud for AI that builds  AI agents are starting to build and operate real software. Agentic organizations are starting to coordinate people, code, data, payments, and governance. Both need a cloud that is sovereign, tamperproof, and always on.  The Internet Computer is that cloud.  Built on more than USD 500 million in R&amp;D, ICP uses advanced blockchain technology and cryptography to run entire software systems end-to-end on the network: websites, apps, services, data, payments, and governance. Code and data are protected by the protocol, replicated across independent nodes, and cannot be silently changed by a cloud provider, backend operator, or attacker.  Cloud engines make this infrastructure sovereign. They let organizations run ICP-powered compute across chosen providers, locations, and jurisdictions while keeping the same tamperproof and always-on guarantees of the network.  This is the real demand ICP serves: sovereign frontier cloud for AI agents and agentic organizations. Agents can build and update software. Organizations can run rules, assets, and governance as verifiable systems. The result is software that stays online, keeps its data, and remains under the control of its owners.  Developers and AI agents can build on the Internet Computer with any AI assistant using the ICP skill library at skills.internetcomputer.org, or by creating apps through conversation with Caffeine AI.  Computation on ICP is paid for by converting $ICP into cycles. $ICP is also used for staking and governance through the Network Nervous System.

Internet Computer

ICP is trending as traders celebrate a breakout attempt that many attribute to growing sovereign-government adoption, headlined by a Pakistan government app reportedly running in production on the network and UNDPDFINITY sovereign cloud pilot discussions. The community is sharply divided, with bulls citing real-world utility and institutional interest while critics point to token inflation, alleged DFINITY-related selling, and influencer Jerry Banfield's public step-back from promoting the project.

Novavax, Inc. Is a biotechnology company, which engages in the discovery, development, and commercialization of recombinant vaccines. The company was founded in 1987 and is headquartered in Gaithersburg, MD.

Traders are betting on speculation that Novavax's Matrix-M adjuvant will land an oncology licensing deal with an undisclosed top-10 pharmawidely guessed by the community to be Merckafter management pointed to encouraging preclinical oncology data expected in coming quarters at recent Cantor and Citi conference appearances. Elevated short interest near 30% of the float fuels parallel short-squeeze talk, while the appearances drew mixed reactions, with bulls cheering the sharpened oncology timeline and others frustrated that no signed deal was announced.

Traders are positioning for and debating a semiconductor unwind, citing hawkish Fed and rate-hike expectations, AI-bubble and AI-slowdown fears, and rising oil, inflation, and yields as reasons the sector should roll over  even as recent semi strength, led by memory-chip names and SOXX breakouts above key resistance, has hammered the inverse ETF. The community is split between bears expecting an AI-driven collapse and bulls arguing the rally is intact, with frustrated SOXS holders venting about leveraged-ETF decay and perceived market manipulation.

Microsoft's draft AI code of conduct and its AI chief's safety warnings are dominating discussion as Anthropic and OpenAI leaders call for slowing frontier-AI development, a push CEO Satya Nadella has welcomed while President Trump pushes back against it. Traders are split on motives and impact, with some arguing paced spending would relieve hyperscaler cash-flow strain and skeptics calling the safety narrative cover for capex, energy and competitive pressures tied to the massive data-center buildout.

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

Ethereum is trending as it breaks out of a weeks-long consolidation range and pushes through key resistance, with traders tying the move to a wave of crypto-wide short liquidations and momentum following the Fed's rate hike and the SEC's Innovation Exemption for tokenized U.S. stock trading after the Clarity Act stalled in Congress. Bulls read the breakout as confirmation of a new bull leg, while bears argue it is a thin-liquidity pump and a trap that will retrace.

Venice boasts an innovative approach to generative AI with its unique privacy architecture, access to competitive features including multiple leading open-source LLM models such as DeepSeek R1, PDFs analysis, and image and code generation. An unrestricted AI Characters feature is available with its Pro version, Venice Pro.   VVV is designed to minimize friction and reduce costs for AI agents and developers to access private, reliable, on-demand and perpetual AI inference via Venice.ai's API.

Venice Token

Venice Token is surging, with traders largely crediting tightening supply  a scheduled issuance cut, accelerating buy-and-burn activity, and a clearing unstaking queue  alongside growing revenue at the privacy-focused Venice AI platform. Many speculate it could replicate Zcash's outsized run, while others warn the token is overbought and due for a cooldown.

<h2 class="article-sub-headline">Cash redemption simplifies the capital structure with no common shares issued in the redemption</h2>CALABASAS, Calif., Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTHI) (“NeOnc” or the “Company”), a multi-Phase 2 clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies for central nervous system (CNS) cancers, today announced that it has redeemed for cash all 6,000 outstanding shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at their aggregate stated value of $6.0 million. Following the redemption, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding.The redemption was funded with a portion of the net proceeds from the Company’s $15 million registered direct offering announced on September 9, 2026, consistent with the use of proceeds disclosed for that offering.“We made a deliberate decision to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock in cash and eliminate the potential dilution these securities represented for our shareholders,” said Amir F. Heshmatpour, Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of NeOnc. “Our recent financing enabled us to retire all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock before its discounted conversion feature became available, simplifying our capital structure without issuing common shares in the redemption. As we advance NEO100 and NEO212, disciplined management of shareholder capital remains central to our strategy. We are focused on translating clinical progress into lasting value for patients and shareholders.”NeOnc issued the Series A Preferred Stock in June 2026 in a private placement for gross proceeds of $5.0 million. Under its terms, the Company had the right to redeem all outstanding shares for cash at stated value within four months of issuance. Had the Company elected not to redeem, the stated value would have increased by $166.67 per share, and the shares would have become convertible, at the holders’ option, into NeOnc common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the lowest closing price during the five trading days prior to conversion, subject to a $1.00 floor price.About NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc.NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. is a clinical-stage life sciences company focused on the development and commercialization of central nervous system therapeutics that are designed to address the persistent challenges in overcoming the blood-brain barrier.

Since that announcement, Mr. Heshmatpour has purchased 111,000 shares for a total of approximately $418,700, at an average cost of approximately $3.77 per share. Thomas C. Chen, MD, PhD, Founder, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Officer, has purchased 49,016 shares for approximately $210,000.

<div>Cohen, a prominent figure in the global business and national security arenas, who currently serves as a strategic advisor to SoftBank, a global leader in investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure and semiconductors, will help shape QXL's technological and commercial roadmap in quantum computing, software, and quantum sensing.TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 15, 2026 <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/">(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)</a> -- Quantum X Labs Inc. (Nasdaq: QXL) ("Quantum X Labs" or the "Company"), today announced the appointment of Mr. Yossi Cohen, former Director of the Mossad and a leading figure in Israel's national security community, as President of the Company's Scientific Advisory Board.Mr. Cohen will work alongside the Scientific Advisory Board's existing members - including Prof. Oren Kurland of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and Prof. Oren Raz of the Weizmann Institute of Science - to strengthen QXL's strategic direction across quantum computing, quantum error correction, quantum software for clinical trials, quantum cybersecurity and quantum sensing with a strategic focus on expanding the scale of the Company's operations and commercializing its quantum technologies, particularly for the defense, aerospace, homeland security, and critical infrastructure markets.Cohen served as Director of the Mossad from 2016 to 2021, following his tenure as Israel's National Security Advisor from 2013 to 2016 and as Deputy Director of the Mossad. During a 38-year career in intelligence and national security, he oversaw some of Israel's most significant covert operations, including the acquisition of Iran's nuclear archive in 2018, as well as efforts that helped lay the groundwork for the Abraham Accords. This operational and strategic background is directly relevant to QXL's work in GPS-denied navigation, precision timing, quantum-secured communications, and technologies designed to operate in contested electromagnetic environments.Since leaving public service, Cohen has operated at the intersection of national security and global technology investments. In 2021, he joined SoftBank to lead the company's activities in Israel Vision Fund 2, helping identify and support growth-stage technology companies. In this capacity, he was involved in SoftBank's Israeli cybersecurity investments, including investments related to Wiz, Claroty, and Cato Networks.In August 2026, Yossi Cohen was appointed a strategic advisor to SoftBank. This role brings him closer to the group's senior decision-making centers and expands his areas of activity to include the financing and development of artificial intelligence infrastructure and cloud data centers, as well as investments in semiconductor companies serving these infrastructures — an area increasingly overlapping with quantum sensing chips, high-performance computing, and next-generation secure infrastructure.</div><div>The appointment is intended to connect QXL's scientific program with the strategic, commercial and security realities in which quantum technologies will be adopted. QXL's portfolio includes a neutral-atom quantum computing platform; an AI-driven quantum error-correction architecture; Quantum Gyro, which is developing quantum-based gyroscope chip technology for highly precise, jamming-resistant navigation in GPS-denied environments; next-generation atomic clocks for precision timing; and initiatives in quantum cybersecurity, nuclear simulations, and life sciences.<div><div><div>&nbsp;</div></div></div>Yaki Baranes, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Quantum X Labs:"There are very few people who have operated at the heart of national security systems at the highest level and then moved into the inner circle of one of the world's most important technology investors. That combination is rare.We did not appoint Yossi Cohen to be an honorary name on our letterhead. We appointed him because Quantum X Labs is developing a range of unique capabilities — including quantum sensing for navigation and timing, a quantum error-correction decoder, and quantum cybersecurity — that will be tested in the real world, not only in the laboratory."Yossi Cohen, President of the Scientific Advisory Board:"I am honored to chair the Scientific Advisory Board. After evaluating several companies across deep-tech and quantum technology landscape, I chose to join Quantum X Labs because I found a rare combination of exceptional human capital and significant technological potential. My years in senior leadership roles, including at the Mossad, taught me to recognize the unique combination of people, technology, and vision needed to create meaningful impact. I see that combination at Quantum X Labs.I look forward to working with the Company's management and scientific team as it continues to develop and advance its technology portfolio — from academic research to reality."Cohen's new appointment at SoftBank is particularly relevant to QXL's development trajectory in hardware and infrastructure. SoftBank's broader strategy includes large-scale AI computing, data center capacity, and exposure to the semiconductor sector — including through the group's historical holding in Arm, one of the world's leading semiconductor intellectual property companies.QXL's work in quantum gyroscope chips, precision timing devices, and error-corrected computing systems lies precisely at the intersection of chips, sensing, secure communications, and high-performance computing - areas that global investors increasingly view as strategic infrastructure.The Scientific Advisory Board provides strategic scientific guidance, reviews and validates the Company's technological direction, and helps align QXL's roadmap with developments in quantum science, engineering, and dual-use applications.As President of the Board, Cohen will help prioritize, at the board level, applications in defense and critical infrastructure, advance international partnerships, and translate QXL's intellectual property - including its work in error correction through the integration of AI and quantum technologies, as well as its portfolio of sensing technologies — into government and operational programs and commercial channels.Quantum X Labs Inc.Quantum X Labs Inc. and its subsidiaries are focused on quantum technology, digital advertising and computing and enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) solutions.

ZenaTech Closes 29th Drone as a Service Acquisition Adding Solar and Railroad Customers with Georgia-based U.S. Land Surveying Company Holding Licenses in 17 States

ZenaTech acquires Merritt Paul Land Surveying, expanding its Drone as a Service platform into utility-scale solar and rail/airport surveying.

SORA-based authorization for ZenaDrone enables the Drone as a Service platform to deliver large-scale precision agriculture applications to farmers and supports planned expansion into additional European marketsVancouver, British Columbia (September 10, 2026) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech” or the “Company”), a technology company specializing in AI drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces that its Drone as a Service subsidiary will expand its precision agriculture drone-based services to farmers in Ireland. The Company received Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) approval from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), granted under European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) guidelines. The approval was given to its drone subsidiary, ZenaDrone, at the Company’s EMEA DaaS headquarters located near Dublin, Ireland, authorizing large-scale targeted aerial application of fertilizer, lime, bio stimulants, and other non-plant protection products on Irish farmland and granular spreading at scale, helping farmers reduce product inputs, operating costs, risk to personnel, and environmental impact.“This milestone for ZenaDrone and our Drone as a Service platform demonstrate that we can clear the regulatory bar for the initiation of large-scale aerial precision agriculture in &nbsp;Ireland and beyond,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. “EASA’s framework is used across the European Union, as this approval provides a replicable template to apply market by market rather than starting fresh. We believe that precision agriculture is a large and underpenetrated opportunity globally, and having an approved and repeatable path forward will aid our roll out and recurring Drone as a Service revenue growth as we plan future expansion across Europe and into other regions.”Precision agriculture is a sector facing historically high fertilizer costs and increasing environmental scrutiny. Drone-based aerial application allows precise, targeted spreading on terrain unsuitable for heavy machinery, reducing soil compaction and run-off risk while cutting input costs and personnel exposure. <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.epa.ie/publications/monitoring--assessment/freshwater--marine/Early-Insights-Nitrogen-Report-Jan-Dec-2025.pdf">Ireland’s Environmental Protection Agency</a> reported in 2026 that nitrogen concentrations in Irish rivers rose 10% year-over-year, with excess fertilizer run-off cited as a leading cause, underscoring demand for more precise application methods of the kind that ZenaTech’s ZenaDrone and DaaS platform are now authorized to provide.The SORA authorization allows the company to operate complex, autonomous aerial missions at scale, without requiring customers to navigate aviation safety regulation, pilot certification, hardware costs and maintenance directly. Management believes this regulatory pathway supports its broader strategy of scaling DaaS as a recurring-revenue, subscription-based service across multiple geographies and industry verticals, including forestry, renewables, construction, and infrastructure monitoring.About ZenaTech<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.zenatech.com/">ZenaTech</a>, Inc.

Company’s DaaS acquisition of Green Earth Powerwashing brings franchise experience and a model to accelerate incorporation of drone-based power washing cleaning services for building exteriors and public spaces.Vancouver, British Columbia, (September 8, 2026) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech” or the “Company”), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces it is developing a franchise business strategy and plan to bring branded, drone-based power washing services to market under its Drone as a Service platform. The planned strategy builds directly on the franchise infrastructure and operating experience gained through the Company’s recent<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.zenatech.com/zenatech-expands-drone-as-a-service-platform-with-24th-acquisition-adding-green-earth-powerwashing-franchise-network/"> June 23th, 2026 acquisition of Florida-based Green Earth Powerwashing LLC</a>, a cleaning service company with an existing registered franchise system and franchisees serving municipal, commercial, and hospitality customers across central and south Florida. “We’ve long been interested in a franchise strategy for our Drone as a Service platform that can incorporate multiple service lines over time, and this recent acquisition of Green Earth gives us an accelerated path to bring our first drone-enabled service, power washing, to market incorporating this model,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. “Through this acquisition we have a franchise infrastructure, trained operators, and customer relationships in place that can help accelerate our plan. Our task now is to build the strategy and operations manual that will let us layer drone technology onto that foundation and apply the first services across Florida, then we plan to enter into other geographic markets nationally.”The initiative is currently at the planning stage. The Company intends to incorporate existing franchise expertise, systems, and operator network as the foundation for this model, with the goal of layering AI-powered drone technology and workflows onto conventional power washing operations to improve safety, speed, and service consistency for franchisees and their customers.The concept will use ZenaDrone’s IQ Square drone, currently being development for outdoor inspection and maintenance, fitted with a pressurized cleaning attachment and water system to wash building exteriors, facades, roofs, and other hard-to-reach surfaces from the air, operated and supervised by a ground-based technician. ZenaTech believes this approach could improve worker safety and service speed versus traditional ladder- and scaffold-based methods, particularly on high-rise properties. This capability is at the testing stage and is not yet in commercial deployment.The global drone cleaning services market, which encompasses drone-based power washing, was valued at over USD $5 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach over $15 billion by 2031, with an annual growth rate of almost 17%, according to<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://reports.valuates.com/market-reports/QYRE-Auto-38G16768/global-drone-cleaning-service"> Valuates Reports</a>. ZenaTech believes Florida’s dense concentration of high-rise, commercial, and municipal properties offers strong initial demand ahead of a planned national expansion.ZenaTech’s Drone as a Service platform is being built to provide business and government customers with subscription-based access to drone-based services spanning surveying, inspection, maintenance, power washing, inventory management, and precision agriculture, without the costs or operational burdens of drone ownership. The Company’s acquisition-led DaaS strategy is focused on acquiring established, profitable service businesses that currently rely on low-tech or under-digitized processes and integrating drone technology into their operations to build a global, multi-service network anchored by existing customers and recurring revenue.Details of the franchise offering are at the planning stage, and more information will be provided in due course as the strategy and supporting operations manual are completed.About ZenaTech <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.zenatech.com/">ZenaTech</a>, Inc.

ZenaTech Plans Franchise Business Model for Drone as a Service Power Washing

<h2 class="article-sub-headline">True Nexus and Pasqal reach a first milestone in making protein functionality visible on neutral-atom quantum computing — opening a new frontier for the global protein economy, and advancing Saudi Arabia's quantum ambition</h2>RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pasqal (Nasdaq: PSQL), a global provider of neutral-atom quantum computers, and True Nexus, a computational intelligence company focused on making protein functionality programmable for real-world food applications, today announced a major milestone in their collaboration: the successful use of Pasqal’s neutral-atom quantum technology to encode selected protein structures relevant to the molecular mechanisms that drive protein gelation — the process that turns liquids into gels and gives foods their structure and texture.The milestone marks a first, decisive step toward making protein functionality, one of the most valuable and least understood properties in the global food and biotech economy, computationally accessible and, ultimately, programmable.Proteins are the foundation of the modern food economy, and one of its greatest unsolved problems. Their commercial value rests not on their sequence but on their functionality: how they gel, bind, foam and give texture. For decades, that functionality has resisted design. Industry could read a protein’s sequence, yet the deeper chemistry that determines how a protein behaves under real-world conditions remained extremely difficult to model computationally — discoverable only through slow, costly trial and error at the bench. It is why, despite twenty years of effort and billions in investment, plant proteins have not consistently matched animal proteins across key functionalities associated with gelatin, dairy, egg and meat applications, leaving an entire industry to build on a layer it could not see.True Nexus and Pasqal are now bridging that gap. By combining AI-driven protein intelligence with Pasqal’s neutral-atom quantum technology, the collaboration is laying the foundation to understand how proteins form gels — and how that behavior could ultimately be controlled. The work aims to uncover the link between protein structure and function, opening new possibilities for the design of new, better-performing proteins. The prize is a market of global scale: protein demand is projected to approach USD 1 trillion by 2030, according to Bloomberg Intelligence, with plant-based, halal and regionally grown sources still largely untapped for want of a design tool.“Encoding real protein structures on our neutral-atom processors shows how quantum can move from the lab toward the problems that matter to industry and to nations,” said Mark Armstrong, CCO EMEA of Pasqal. “Protein functionality is exactly the kind of high-value, classically hard challenge neutral-atom technology is built for.”A flagship for the Kingdom’s quantum ambitionFor the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the milestone is a flagship demonstration of applied quantum technology with national significance. Delivered through MCIT (Ministry of Communications and Information Technology), it shows how the Kingdom could turn quantum from a research capability into a real industrial engine. Beyond advancing food security and a central position in the future protein economy, it points to a broader ambition: establishing Saudi Arabia as a leader in AI and quantum applied to life sciences and biotechnology, in direct support of Vision 2030.The same approach is designed to reach well beyond food. The computational engine at the heart of the collaboration could be directed at other strategic sectors — from energy and the environment to drug discovery, materials science and finance — under a proposed MCIT-led initiative, the Saudi Quantum DeepTech Foundry, positioning the Kingdom as a global hub for quantum applied to the problems that matter most.“This is the moment protein functionality stops being a mystery and starts becoming designable. Together with Pasqal, we are bringing the chemistry that governs how proteins behave onto neutral-atom quantum hardware, opening a new path to understand, predict and ultimately design protein functionality.” said Dominik Grabinski, Chief Executive Officer of True Nexus. “This can change what is possible for the future protein economy.”ContactsInvestors <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=z6WlrvaP5AeguPvteAPIPeAAE_D49NB-K2GskHzC5DtE5xqBbSKnqnta3Jl1jPS_8mTecyTqWeYPjTkfOZVWi9HOIHQDuzD_ePye-7_M2znGWAavdFTc5xvyfVJc-lqvrM-KlwsqkAvKXf9m4rhGM2Vae3hvQwoFg9Q0YEUMN_aFbAvdgkk6Xfoh_mZDPhAUTmdGYHb18oTtICo_jjEpv5M1w4yibEwRBJA4VZA36HbX7LJcqWwzC4SVWKU9yDJjTHOKZzQ5z3-YUj-9qS3LymuMDUiYK7XKHYqQGxQFmh70uQ918iIORQB-5qcf9-rMSDrDtMsI0KUvlwgFxFUq0AWy5yHEOswaGxWTRlygfKcSQ1J0ZHbUF0iJBMX0u03lhtcF4I0WBFRnQqLvJlZ88_w_pPytSCOmwYc2_6Xs1bSzxhld18iJxN8jKH4oRrbtOZVYdyXHhRdMWm7Yadw17A7o6YH52GDbaaod-92WjjZxSlM6quPOzpndVxul2IpqJ4lql4NPpMuAkAmUbgE2hDUtTfToUlEL-qFXTHZZV5kcjFfW7lMgDXZx5KwfqCu2mW3D54tapfHpOEMvY0mTZHlrlvqrPJqJUPDNeA5VnIAnL-2A_dItEoBt371UUnpAhvmPXxhaPXFMNb81xfTWn1jj_EjyZI65FtIBGEdpGSTimTcTo4drgjSyyHQqA-AF36qspCyJxYKEY4cCvhf8p5jdnsRwtnRAkDQIDcq9ZQo0-lR7Qb5-Y_7y1Y9dtMGCVy8Izhb2AW_52HtqTxGqfrNrtFOME5CUxMuV-Ual5VI=">investors@pasqal.com</a>Media <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=xtRNskUDAxqfoqf8vP7KMUzo9aaMv-x92vWWhkGZQz2w7TdJTw2bY8fiJgx0EL6rHgnG9SvIDomfLRGyyYsRM1fJunpTn4OnhJZ64g4rjSyxN-ogZb9AIYEdhkqCvphjO9hePH71ilM5KIVwf_18rE8ODcqG4uKuFJFZhYjKAx_BwxLCyDReaJpU1FdguQjeWpMYdExTX02j3VvqEe1m8v4wdwMUeUynTQBnN279voCl1SRzjSATVJCt8g4lbO1bnnGgVv-40y3R0VcYfpink2-Ol5cpqVD7x-CfBFkjRW9vgYZ0Z8CUV3_grdkKWYg9ZLwvGltDbq7AUUoSMWnOH3_5AXukd_93XaA7v9pYEp3Oz85vXUmj4C8SYm4bxiTk9Q7VFovpohVtSbWZ08gEzCKW9g0CuGA1ndudanSbhaDM_B-FYuoGH37nT0kDgwtkPrrEVSxc3n5Z0nU3wE4xD6h7ClbjGaG3czsZh7fK2zgizy4q2-oZexaBaQ8xVRoejecarL9edQ1Vd9mZxUplDMaCtvZV1biX4zck1uinUNd6yqCVFETf986YqfwTWi5weMJPynjE0ErNPVf_xgy6oc0_WdRXG4t3pUEimsHNPOLaZ6jHThsQaVkqF32SbEa5kHYdL2tGJS7M6pZ-DOIvuljT-wTWKcK7bQV90-U5uUZxzrxplVpnbuDVpuqnpYUB8yjJhMUEpG5ZCj_Rv8llQA==">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.

(Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces that its ZenaDrone subsidiary has completed an initial Version 1 prototype of the IQ Octo, its new autonomous drone purpose-built for precision spraying and seeding via Drone as a Service. The IQ Octo is designed to precisely apply fertilizers and crop-protection products and to distribute seeds, helping farmers reduce input costs, avoid crop damage and soil compaction, access difficult terrain, and improve the efficiency of planting and treatment operations. The IQ Octo Version 1 is expected to begin field testing at the company’s Arizona facility in the coming weeks.“Precision agriculture is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the drone industry, with market analysts predicting over 30% annual growth over the next five years,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. “Extending our ZenaDrone IQ Series into autonomous spraying and seeding positions our Drone as a Service business to capture a meaningful share of this expanding market. We believe the new IQ Octo, and the recurring service and data opportunities it can create, represents a compelling long-term value driver for both future customers and our shareholders as we continue to diversify our autonomous drone and services portfolio.”The IQ Octo Version 1 is a medium-sized autonomous drone built on an octocopter design with eight motors, part of ZenaDrone’s growing IQ Series. Battery powered, it is designed to fly for approximately 20 to 25 minutes per charge and to carry a payload of up to 25 kilograms of seeds or liquid. In addition to spraying and seeding, the platform’s Version 2 is expected to support solar panel maintenance applications, swarm capability, automated refilling, and a folding design. Depending on the mission, the agricultural configuration will either carry a liquid tank equipped with spray nozzles, or a hopper with a spreader for seeds. Following a programmed flight path, the drone is designed to fly low over fields and automatically apply liquid treatments or distribute seeds at controlled rates with even coverage.Farmers use drones for spraying and seeding because they can apply products precisely where and when they are needed, including in wet fields, difficult terrain, and areas with standing crops. This can reduce chemical, seed, water, fuel, and labor requirements; prevent soil compaction and crop damage from heavy machinery; improve worker safety; and enable faster, more targeted treatment as part of a broader precision agriculture system.The Company will provide further updates as additional development and testing milestones for the IQ Octo are achieved.About ZenaTech<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.zenatech.com/">ZenaTech</a>, Inc.
