"Burcon insiders and its largest shareholders have once again shown confidence in our business plan and sales trajectory by expanding their investment," said Kip Underwood, Burcon's chief executive officer. "Their continued support underscores the commercial momentum we carry into 2026 and reinforces our ability to execute and deliver value for shareholders."

Since November 12, 2025, Burcon has received strong interest from potential investors in the Offering including increased interest from Insiders.

LEIDEN, Netherlands & CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ProQR Therapeutics N.V. (Nasdaq: PRQR) (ProQR), a company dedicated to changing lives through transformative RNA therapies based on its proprietary ADAR-mediated Axiomer™ RNA editing technology platform, today announced that the Company will participate in a fireside chat at the 8th Annual Evercore Healthcare Conference on Thursday, December 4, 2025 at 8:20am ET.
Webcast details will be accessible from the “Investors & Media” section of ProQR’s website (www.proqr.com) under "Events". Archived webcasts will be available for approximately 30 days following the presentation date.
About Axiomer™
ProQR is pioneering a next-generation RNA base editing technology called Axiomer™, which could potentially yield a new class of medicines for diverse types of diseases. Axiomer™ “Editing Oligonucleotides”, or EONs, mediate single nucleotide changes to RNA in a highly specific and targeted way using molecular machinery that is present in human cells called ADAR (Adenosine Deaminase Acting on RNA). Axiomer™ EONs are designed to recruit and direct endogenously expressed ADARs to change an Adenosine (A) to an Inosine (I) in the RNA – an Inosine is translated as a Guanosine (G) – correcting an RNA with a disease-causing mutation back to a normal (wild type) RNA, modulating protein expression, or altering a protein so that it will have a new function that helps prevent or treat disease.
About ProQR
ProQR Therapeutics is dedicated to changing lives through the creation of transformative RNA therapies. ProQR is pioneering a next-generation RNA technology called Axiomer™, which uses a cell’s own editing machinery called ADAR to make specific single nucleotide edits in RNA to reverse a mutation or modulate protein expression and could potentially yield a new class of medicines for both rare and prevalent diseases with unmet need. Based on our unique proprietary RNA repair platform technologies we are growing our pipeline with patients and loved ones in mind.

High Tide Opens First European Canna Cabana in Berlin
The Company Becomes First Publicly Traded North American Cannabis Operator to Set Up Bricks-and-Mortar Presence in Europe's Largest Cannabis Market
, /PRNewswire/ - High Tide Inc. ("High Tide" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), the high-impact, retail-forward enterprise built to deliver real-world value across every component of cannabis, announced today that it has opened its first international Canna Cabana in Berlin, Germany—focused on cannabis accessories and consumer lifestyle goods—marking the brand's formal bricks-and-mortar entry into both Europe and the German market.
High Tide Inc., December 1, 2025 (CNW Group/High Tide Inc.)
Located at Alte Schönhauser Str. 2, 10119 Berlin, the Company's newest Canna Cabana is situated in the heart of Berlin-Mitte, steps from Alexanderplatz, the political, cultural, and creative core of Berlin, and a globally recognized hub for fashion, food, art, and boutique retail. The surrounding area is home to marquee landmarks, including the Fernsehturm (TV Tower), Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island, and the rapidly expanding Hackescher Markt district.
This flagship store represents the first step in High Tide's broader European retail strategy, following its recent acquisition of Remexian Pharma GmbH, a licensed medical cannabis importer and distributor based in Germany. The Berlin opening reflects the Company's commitment to growing its European presence, which encompasses bricks-and-mortar retail, e-commerce, and medical cannabis distribution across key international markets.
"Canna Cabana's potential extends far beyond Canada, and this Berlin opening is the first step in unlocking that global opportunity. Germany, with more than 83 million people, is already Europe's largest and most influential cannabis market, with government data showing imports surpassing a record 143 tonnes in the first three quarters of 2025. As cannabis usage continues to accelerate, so too will demand for Canna Cabana's cutting-edge consumption accessories," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.
"This bricks-and-mortar launch demonstrates our commitment to Germany for the long haul. We are closely following legislative and regulatory developments, and as Germany moves toward broader liberalization, Canna Cabana will have a meaningful head start. This is exactly how we built Canada's largest cannabis retailer—by establishing a loyal accessories following first, then seamlessly transitioning those customers into cannabis retail when the timing is right. Now, we're bringing that same winning formula to Europe," added Mr. Grover.

Philips expands commercial availability of world's first real-time AI-enabled light-based 3D navigation solution for image-guided therapy
Commercial availability expanded across Europe and the United StatesReal-time AI-enabled 3D device visualization powered by light instead of X-ray, improving navigation in complex endovascular proceduresLumiGuide seamlessly integrates with Azurion, Philips’ proven, world-leading image-guided therapy platform designed to drive procedural innovation across clinical domains Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Chicago, USA – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA, a global leader in health technology, today announced the expanded commercial availability of LumiGuide 3D Device Guidance, the world’s first real-time AI-enabled light-based 3D navigation solution for image-guided therapy, across Europe and the United States. LumiGuide represents a breakthrough in radiation-free* navigation, allowing physicians to visualize and guide devices inside the body using light instead of continuous X-ray. Announced at RSNA 2025, the wider commercial rollout marks the next step in Philips’ long-term commitment to improving radiation safety and dose reduction in image-guided therapy.
LumiGuide seamlessly integrates with Azurion, Philips’ proven, world-leading image-guided therapy platform designed to drive procedural innovation across clinical domains. Focused on improving outcomes, efficiency, and safety, LumiGuide joins a growing suite of intelligent, AI-enabled supportive and therapeutic devices integrated on the Azurion platform – a portfolio that spans both guidance technologies and therapeutic tools – redefining how clinicians plan, guide, and perform complex procedures with greater precision and confidence.
“I have done over 160 fenestrated and branched aortic procedures with LumiGuide and have found that the system improves efficiency, reduces the procedure time, and reduces time on the fluoroscopy pedal to near zero,” said Adam W. Beck, MD, Professor and Director, Division of Vascular Surgery & Endovascular Therapy, University of Alabama at Birmingham, US.
Transforming navigation inside the body – with light instead of X-ray
LumiGuide, powered by Philips Fiber Optic RealShape (FORS) technology, is the first solution to use light to visualize the shape and position of LumiGuide wires and compatible endovascular catheters inside the body in real time and in 3D – without X-ray. By reflecting light along an optical fiber integrated into the guidewire, LumiGuide shows high-resolution, full-color images from any angle, giving physicians instant orientation during complex endovascular procedures. LumiGuide uses AI to quickly and accurately align any image with the patient's anatomy. This technology allows clinicians to navigate with precision, while significantly reducing radiation exposure for both patients and clinical staff. Using this advanced technology, complex cases such as aortic repair procedures can be performed 37% faster and with up to 56% DAP reduction [1].
“Moving LumiGuide from limited to full commercial availability is an important milestone in expanding access to advanced image-guided therapy,” said Stacey Beske, Business Leader Image-Guided Therapy Devices at Philips.
“By bringing this light-based navigation technology to more hospitals, we’re helping clinicians treat complex vascular disease with precision and safety, while reducing radiation risk for patients and teams in the lab,” added Atul Gupta, MD, Chief Medical Officer Diagnosis & Treatment at Philips.

LumiGuide is the latest innovation built on Philips leadership in Image Guided Therapy and the proven Azurion platform – the foundation for procedural innovation across clinical domains. Seamlessly integrated into Azurion, LumiGuide demonstrates how Philips continues to advance minimally invasive therapies through integration of intelligent systems and devices that combine real-time insight, precision navigation, and procedural efficiency. Built on a platform that treats over 6.4 million patients each year across more than 80 countries [2], with high-quality, low-dose imaging and enhanced workflow efficiency, LumiGuide extends Philips’ commitment to making image-guided therapy safer, faster, and more effective for patients and clinical teams. Together with AI-enabled innovations such as DeviceGuide and VeriSight 3D ICE, Philips is integrating intelligence and imaging to enable the next generation of procedural precision and confidence, all within the connected Azurion environment.
Accelerating access and adoption
Following a successful limited market release in late 2023, LumiGuide will be commercially available from January 2026 in key European markets and the United States** Over the past years, LumiGuide has been used in more than 2,000 clinical procedures [2], integrated with Philips Azurion image-guided therapy platform. Building on this experience, Philips continues to invest in clinical evidence generation to help clinicians optimize the use of LumiGuide in everyday practice.
Advancing radiation safety in image-guided therapy
LumiGuide builds on Philips’ broader portfolio of innovations aimed at reducing or eliminating radiation exposure during image-guided procedures. Alongside technologies such as Azurion with ClarityIQ, DoseAware, and EchoNavigator, and complementary clinical programs like the RADIQAL trial, LumiGuide underscores Philips’ leadership in low- and no-dose interventional solutions, helping to make image-guided therapy safer, more efficient, and more sustainable.

Eli Lilly cuts cash prices of Zepbound weight loss drug vials on direct-to-consumer site
Eli Lilly on Monday said it is lowering the cash prices of single-dose vials of its blockbuster weight loss drug Zepbound on its direct-to-consumer platform, LillyDirect, building on efforts by the company and the Trump administration to make the medicine more accessible.
The announcement also comes weeks after chief rival Novo Nordisk unveiled additional discounts on the cash prices of its obesity and diabetes drugs.
Starting Monday, cash-paying patients with a valid prescription can get the starting dose of Zepbound vials for as low as $299 per month on LillyDirect, down from a previous price of $349 per month. They can also access the next dose – 5 milligrams – for $399 per month and all other doses for $449 per month, down from $499 per month across those sizes.
Zepbound carries a list price of roughly $1,086 per month. That price point, and spotty insurance coverage for weight loss drugs in the U.S., have been significant barriers to access for some patients.
Eli Lilly's announcement comes just weeks after President Donald Trump inked deals with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to make their GLP-1 drugs easier for Americans to get and afford. The agreements will cut the prices the government pays for the drugs, introduce Medicare coverage of obesity drugs for the first time for certain patients and offer discounted medicines on the government's new direct-to-consumer website launching in January, TrumpRx.
But Eli Lilly's deal with Trump centers around lowering the prices of a different form of Zepbound – a multi-dose pen – after it wins Food and Drug Administration approval.
That means Eli Lilly's Monday announcement around cutting prices on the existing single-dose vials could allow more patients to get discounted treatments more quickly.
"We will keep working to provide more options – expanding choices for delivery devices and creating new pathways for access – so more people can get the medicines they need," said Ilya Yuffa, president of Lilly USA and global customer capabilities, in a statement.
With single-dose vials, patients need to use a syringe and needle to draw up the medicine and inject themselves. Eli Lilly first introduced that form of Zepbound in August 2024.
It's unclear how many patients are currently taking single-dose vials of Zepbound. But Eli Lilly previously said that direct-to-consumer sales now account for more than a third of new prescriptions of Zepbound.
Novo Nordisk earlier this month lowered the price of its obesity drug Wegovy and diabetes treatment Ozempic for existing cash-paying patients to $349 per month from $499 per month. That excludes the highest dose of Ozempic.
The company also launched a temporary introductory offer, which will allow new cash-paying patients to access the two lowest doses of Wegovy and Ozempic for $199 per month for the first two months of treatment.

Akamai Technologies Announces Acquisition of Function-as-a-Service Company Fermyon
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the cybersecurity and cloud computing company that powers and protects business online, today announced that it has acquired Fermyon the serverless WebAssembly company. As artificial intelligence (AI) inference shifts to the edge, combining Fermyon’s cloud-native WebAssembly (Wasm) function-as-a-service (FaaS) with Akamai’s globally distributed platform enables enterprises to build edge-native applications that offer improved performance and lower costs compared to traditional cloud-native apps.
“Fermyon's FaaS capabilities, combined with Akamai's cloud, will make it even easier for developers to innovate and execute lightweight code at the edge,” said Adam Karon, chief operating officer and general manager, Cloud Technology Group, Akamai Technologies. “As Akamai continues to expand compute from core data centers to the edge of the internet, this technology will give developers a broad continuum of cloud native and serverless options to build and deploy their next great application.”
Fermyon is a leader in both serverless functions and WebAssembly, and is active in the open-source community. The company maintains the Spin and SpinKube Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) open-source projects and is a member of the Bytecode Alliance, all activities that Akamai will continue to support. Further, Fermyon’s employees, including co-founders Matt Butcher and Radu Matei, will join Akamai’s Cloud Technology Group and continue to champion Fermyon’s open-source project leadership and create the next generation of serverless technologies.
In addition, by acquiring Fermyon, Akamai plans to deepen the integration between the edge functions platform and its performance and security products. The resulting cloud computing platform aims to make it even faster and easier for developers to build, deploy, and secure applications at the edge that outperform cloud-native applications for less money the same way they can in core data centers today.
Akamai anticipates no material impact to the company’s financial guidance for 2025 as a result of the transaction.

Peer To Peer Network Releases Q&A Call Summary Regarding Launch of PTOP Intelligence Labs
Peer To Peer Network launches “Intelligence Labs,” an AI-driven division delivering automated investor outreach, behavior-based segmentation, CEO-tone messaging, and AI booking tools.
Revenue target of $800K–$1M in 23 months; hitting this milestone triggers a public-company spinout, giving all PTOP shareholders proportional equity in the new AI entity.
Early enterprise traction underway, including advanced discussions with multiple companies and two active 90-day beta clients, with revenue expected to begin soon.
Cambridge, MA, December 1, 2025 – PRISM MediaWire (Press Release Service – Press Release Distribution) – Peer To Peer Network (OTC: PTOP) today issued a summary of its November 27th investor call, where newly appointed division president Derek McCarthy outlined the Company’s AI-driven strategy for transforming investor communications and engagement. The Company opened the call by expressing its deep appreciation for the over two dozen shareholders who took time out of their schedules on the night before Thanksgiving to join the discussion.
Overview of PTOP Intelligence Labs
During the call, McCarthy introduced $PTOP Intelligence Labs, the Company’s newly launched AI division initially focused on serving publicly traded companies with smarter, faster, and more effective investor-marketing technology powered by AI. The platform is being engineered as a comprehensive solution that combines:
AI-powered audience identification
Automatically identifies, categorizes, and enriches investor-grade profiles across channels.
Behavior-based segmentation & scoring
Investors receive tailored content based on how they engage—clicks, reads, repeat visits, time on site, message opens, and more.
Automated, personalized communication
AI-generated messages written in the CEO’s tone deliver consistent outreach through email, LinkedIn, and in-platform chat.
AI appointment booking & follow-ups
Investors can automatically schedule calls with leadership while the AI handles reminders, follow-ups, and ongoing nurturing.
Top Shareholder Questions Asked & Addressed:
“How will PTOP Intelligence Labs aid the company revenue-wise?”
Chairman & CEO Joshua Sodaitis explained:
“From day one, Derek was given a clear, measurable mandate when we brought him on board and established PTOP Intelligence Labs as our new AI division. All revenue produced by PTOP Intelligence Labs will flow directly into a separate corporate account under PTOP’s tax ID, meaning every dollar generated is PTOP revenue and increases the value of the parent company. Derek’s target is aggressive: $800,000 to $1,000,000 in the next 23 months.
Here’s where it gets exciting for shareholders:
If PTOP Intelligence Labs hits that goal, we will spin the division out into its own publicly traded company. PTOP will launch, capitalize, and distribute equity in this new entity, with Derek serving as the Chairman & CEO of the spinout. And under standard spin-off structure, every PTOP shareholder would receive shares in the new public company, proportional to their current PTOP holdings.
In other words:
Intelligence Labs drives near-term revenue directly into PTOP
A successful revenue milestone triggers the formation of a second public company
PTOP shareholders get stock in BOTH companies
Creating a multiplier effect on long-term shareholder value
A spinout like this is a proven strategy used by major public companies to unlock hidden value, accelerate growth, and create two market-cap engines instead of one. If PTOP Intelligence Labs reaches its target, shareholders won’t just own a part of PTOP—they’ll own a stake in a brand-new AI-focused public company built from inside the PTOP ecosystem.
This is the type of value creation you typically only see with high-growth tech firms. We are building PTOP to be one of them.”
“How soon will PTOP Intelligence Labs be revenue-generating?”
President of PTOP Intelligence Labs, Derek McCarthy, responded:
“We’re already in advanced discussions with several companies, including a major media group exploring a white-label partnership for our AI technology. Based on our current pipeline, I expect revenue to begin very soon, and once the first contract closes, we will issue a formal announcement.”
Derek further explained that two customers are currently in a 90-day beta testing phase, evaluating our AI stack prior to full commercial rollout. Once those pilots convert to paid agreements, PTOP Intelligence Labs will begin generating recognized revenue, paving the way for broader adoption and additional enterprise deals already in discussion.
Advanced Features in Development
McCarthy also discussed several next-phase features currently in development, including:
AI-powered, company-specific search engines that allow investors to instantly locate filings, news, decks, updates, and FAQs.
CEO Avatar Video Highlights, enabling automatic creation of short, personalized video summaries after press releases—voiced and delivered by an AI avatar modeled after the company’s CEO.
“These features are designed to modernize investor relations and remove friction between the company and the shareholder,” McCarthy said. “We’re building an ecosystem that allows small-cap and mid-cap companies to communicate with investors at a level typically reserved for much larger issuers.”
Commitment to Investors & Closing the Year Strong
Peer To Peer Network reiterated its commitment to transparency, innovation, and constant improvement as it prepares additional updates before year-end.
“We appreciate every investor who joined us on Wednesday evening,” McCarthy added. “Your engagement drives our mission, and we look forward to sharing further progress and development milestones in the weeks ahead.”

MannKind Announces U.S. FDA Accepts for Review its Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) of FUROSCIX ReadyFlow™ Autoinjector for the Treatment of Edema in Adults with Chronic Heart Failure or Chronic Kidney Disease
If approved, ReadyFlow Autoinjector would deliver an IV-equivalent diuretic dose (subcutaneous furosemide injection 80 mg/ml) in under 10 secondsWould potentially provide a cost-effective and convenient option to address episodes of fluid buildup at home, benefiting patients, providers and payorsPDUFA target action date of July 26, 2026 WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. and BURLINGTON, Mass., Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MannKind Corporation (Nasdaq: MNKD) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the sNDA seeking approval for FUROSCIX ReadyFlow™ Autoinjector (SCP-111), developed to deliver a subcutaneous furosemide injection in under 10 seconds as an investigational alternative to the FDA-approved FUROSCIX® (furosemide) On-body Infusor for treatment of edema in adult patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) or chronic kidney disease (CKD). The application has been assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of July 26, 2026.
“The FUROSCIX ReadyFlow Autoinjector marks a key milestone in expanding patient options and improving care. By delivering treatment in under 10 seconds, the ReadyFlow Autoinjector has the potential to transform how adults with chronic heart failure or chronic kidney disease manage episodes of fluid buildup—providing faster relief, reducing hospital admissions, and lowering overall healthcare costs,” said Michael Castagna, PharmD, Chief Executive Officer at MannKind Corporation. “We are excited about the opportunity to bring this innovation forward and empower patients with greater convenience and control in their treatment journey.”
If approved, FUROSCIX ReadyFlow Autoinjector would provide a new option for patients with CHF or CKD to manage fluid buildup episodes from the convenience of their home rather than in a hospital setting. The FDA-approved FUROSCIX On-body Infusor was approved for adult patients with edema in chronic heart failure in 2022 and in chronic kidney disease in 2025. The ReadyFlow Autoinjector would reduce administration time from five hours to under 10 seconds.
The sNDA is supported by positive study results announced in August 2024. Furosemide via the ReadyFlow Autoinjector demonstrated a bioavailability of 107.3% (90% CI: 103.9 – 110.8), achieving the 90% confidence interval limit of 80 to 125 percent. Additionally, participants who utilized ReadyFlow Autoinjector had similar urine output, urinary sodium excretion and urinary potassium excretion at 6, 8, and 12 hours compared to IV furosemide, and was generally well tolerated with respect to injection site pain.
The study was an open-label, single-center, single-dose, randomized, two-way crossover study in 21 healthy volunteers, ranging in age from 45 to 80. Each subject completed the screening, baseline, treatment, and follow-up phases. Subjects were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of two treatment sequences (IV furosemide followed by furosemide via the ReadyFlow Autoinjector, or vice versa).
About FUROSCIX
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
FUROSCIX is contraindicated in patients with anuria and in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to furosemide, any component of the FUROSCIX formulation, or medical adhesives.
Furosemide may cause fluid, electrolyte, and metabolic abnormalities, particularly in patients receiving higher doses, patients with inadequate oral electrolyte intake, and in elderly patients. Serum electrolytes, CO2, BUN, creatinine, glucose, and uric acid should be monitored frequently during furosemide therapy.
Excessive diuresis may cause dehydration and blood volume reduction with circulatory collapse and possibly vascular thrombosis and embolism, particularly in elderly patients.
Furosemide can cause dehydration and azotemia. If increasing azotemia and oliguria occur during treatment of severe progressive renal disease, discontinue furosemide.
Cases of tinnitus and reversible or irreversible hearing impairment and deafness have been reported with furosemide. Reports usually indicate that furosemide ototoxicity is associated with rapid injection, severe renal impairment, the use of higher than recommended doses, hypoproteinemia or concomitant therapy with aminoglycoside antibiotics, ethacrynic acid, or other ototoxic drugs.
In patients with severe symptoms of urinary retention (because of bladder emptying disorders, prostatic hyperplasia, urethral narrowing), the administration of furosemide can cause acute urinary retention related to increased production and retention of urine. These patients require careful monitoring, especially during the initial stages of treatment.
Contact with water or other fluids and certain patient movements during treatment may cause the On-body Infusor to prematurely terminate infusion. Ensure patients can detect and respond to alarms.
The most common adverse reactions with FUROSCIX administration in clinical trials were site and skin reactions including erythema, bruising, edema, and injection site pain.

DEADLINE NEXT WEEK: Berger Montague Advises Cepton, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPTN) Investors to Contact the Firm Before December 8, 2025
, /PRNewswire/ -- National plaintiffs' law firm Berger Montague PC announces a class action lawsuit against Cepton, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPTN) ("Cepton" or the "Company") on behalf of investors who purchased or sold Cepton shares during the period of July 29, 2024 through January 6, 2025 (the "Class Period").
Investor Deadline: Investors who purchased or sold Cepton securities during the Class Period may, no later than December 8, 2025, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. To learn your rights, CLICK HERE.
Cepton is a lidar technology company headquartered in San Jose, California. Having been acquired by Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd. ("Koito") in January 2025, Cepton's stock is no longer publicly traded.
The lawsuit alleges that when seeking shareholder approval of Koito's merger proposal, which valued Cepton shares at $3.17 per share, Cepton and its senior executives failed to disclose the existence of a credible third-party acquisition bid that valued the Company at more than double the price of the Koito proposal.
Four months after the merger closed, former shareholders sued Cepton's senior officers in the Delaware Court of Chancery. In September 2025, when a redacted amended complaint filed in that Delaware action became publicly available, investors learned of the existence of documents indicating that the Company's proxy materials for the Koito acquisition had concealed material information from shareholders, including a competing bid.
According to the Delaware suit, Cepton's Board of Directors did not meaningfully explore the competing offer, nor did it disclose its terms when recommending that shareholders approve the Koito transaction. As a result, shareholders were denied a fair opportunity to assess the proposed deal. Furthermore, the Delaware complaint alleges that Cepton's CEO suffered from conflicts of interest with respect to the Koito proposal.

BLAQclouds Unveils ApolloCASH — A Breakthrough Settlement Protocol Connecting Global Cash Apps to Web3 Liquidity
BLAQclouds launches ApolloCASH, a zero-knowledge settlement protocol that converts global cash-app payments (Cash App, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Wise, Revolut) into instant on-chain liquidity using single-use liquidity pools.
New global remittance standard: ApolloCASH enables near-instant, low-cost settlement by bypassing banks and verifying fiat transactions via zkTLS, zkEmail, and ApolloID—solving long-standing delays, high fees, and platform restrictions.
Ecosystem-wide deployment begins Dec. 15, 2025, powering all BLAQclouds platforms with a unified, compliant settlement engine for consumers, merchants, and institutions.
ROBESONIA, Pa., Dec. 01, 2025 – PRISM MediaWire (Press Release Service – Press Release Distribution) – BLAQclouds, Inc. (OTC: BCDS), a leading Web3 infrastructure company, today announced the official launch of ApolloCASH, a revolutionary zero-knowledge settlement protocol designed to connect global cash payment platforms with blockchain-based liquidity. ApolloCASH introduces a new financial standard built on its core architecture:
Autonomous Protocol for One-Time Liquidity & Ledger Operations using CASH Rails
ApolloCASH enables users across the world to instantly convert payments made through familiar fiat applications—such as Cash App, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Wise, and Revolut—into on-chain settlement liquidity through automated, single-use liquidity pools (SULPs). By combining traditional payment rails with zero-knowledge proof verification and atomic blockchain operations, ApolloCASH provides a secure, private, and trustless alternative to outdated banking and remittance systems.
A New Standard for Global Settlement
ApolloCASH verifies fiat payments using cutting-edge cryptography including zkTLS, zkEmail and ApolloID producing immutable proofs that confirm a transaction occurred without revealing user data.
Once verified:
1. ZXUSD is minted
2. A unique Single-Use Liquidity Pool (SULP) is created
3. LP ownership is transferred to the receiver
4. The receiver may redeem instantly for fiat, ZXUSD, or other crypto assets
This “one pool per transaction” design eliminates liquidity fragmentation, slippage, custody risk, and other vulnerabilities inherent in traditional pooled-liquidity models.
“ApolloCASH brings together the speed and familiarity of Web2 payments with the automation and security of Web3 infrastructure. It introduces a modern settlement layer that transforms how money moves globally—without requiring users to change their sending habits. Imagine sitting in Colorado on a Sunday and needing to send $1,000 via Cash App or PayPal to an employee in Dubai, only to find that they are blocked from using those platforms and they only have access to Revolut or Wise. With ApolloCASH, they can now instantly off-ramp into dirhams using Revolut or Wise, regardless of regional restrictions. Users are no longer confined by P2P platform limitations, slow foreign exchange processes, or the excessive costs of cross-border remittance. ApolloCASH allows every major cash-based payment app to become a seamless, frictionless global on-ramp into digital commerce.”
Shannon Hill, CEO of BLAQclouds
ApolloCASH Simple Send and Receive UI
Why is this important?
According to BBVA, global remittance flows (money sent worldwide, across countries) were estimated to reach roughly US$887 billion in 2024. Based on the most recent Remittance Prices Worldwide (RPW) dataset, the global average cost for sending remittances was about 6.35% and began to rise mid-Q2 2024, and the average transaction took between 1 and 5 days to complete.
ApolloCASH reduces this latency by:
Bypassing multi-bank intermediary chains.
Using blockchain and liquidity-pool mechanisms for instant minting and redemption.
Providing on/off-ramp via Cash Rails + crypto rails, which — in many cases — can settle in minutes to near-instant, far faster than traditional 1–5 day windows.
This speed advantage — combined with lower cost — becomes a major differentiator vs legacy remittance platforms.
ApolloCASH Transaction Cost
Powering the BLAQclouds Ecosystem
ApolloCASH is being deployed across the full suite of BLAQclouds platforms, including:
– ShopWithCrypto.io
– APEwithCrypto.io
– ZEUSxPay.io
– ApolloWallet.io
– DeployLaunchpad.com
– ZEUS / Olympus Chain Protocols
With ApolloCASH, all BLAQclouds products now operate on a unified, compliant, cryptographically verified settlement engine.
“Designed for Compliance, Built for Scale”
ApolloCASH is engineered to meet the needs of consumers, merchants, enterprises, and institutions:
For Consumers
– Use familiar payment apps
– No exchange account required
– Private, secure, near-instant settlement
For Merchants
– Zero chargebacks
– Instant settlement and conversion
– Reduce reliance on traditional payment processors
For Institutions & Partners
– Zero-knowledge compliance architecture
– Full auditability
– Compatible with regulated financial environments
“ApolloCASH is the missing link between global cash rails and decentralized financial infrastructure,” added Shannon Hill. “We believe it positions BLAQclouds to compete directly with legacy remittance networks and global payment processors.”
Official Launch Date:
ApolloCASH is currently live in beta for select partners, with ecosystem-wide rollout at 5:00pm MTN December 15, 2025. BLAQclouds will open the first wave of developer and enterprise integrations later Q1.

Nature Genetics Study Validates Seer's Proteograph Platform as Essential for Turning Genetic Signals Into Reliable Drug Targets and Biomarkers
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEER), the pioneer and trusted partner for deep, unbiased proteomic insights, today announced the publication in Nature Genetics of a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) that used the company’s Proteograph® Product Suite to measure proteins at peptide-level resolution and map their genetic determinants. The study, led by Karsten Suhre, PhD, of Weill Cornell Medicine–Qatar, with collaborators from Harvard Medical School/Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Seer, and TruDiagnostic, provides the strongest evidence to date that mass spectrometry validation is essential for turning genomic signals into reliable drug targets and clinical biomarkers. Without mass spectrometry validation, as many as one-third of protein–gene associations reported by affinity-based assays do not replicate, highlighting the necessity of accuracy in proteogenomics.
The analysis included ~1,600 blood samples representing multiple ethnic backgrounds. A discovery cohort of 1,260 and an independent replication cohort of 325 were profiled using Seer’s Proteograph workflow. Across these samples, 5,753 proteins were detected, and 1,980 were quantified in at least 80 percent of participants.
From these data, the researchers identified 364 protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) genetic variants associated with protein abundance. Of these, 102 replicated in the independent cohort. 35 of the replicated signals were previously unreported, extending the catalog of genetic regulation of proteins.
Affinity reagents have been used in proteomics to measure a predetermined panel of proteins in large cohorts and have generated thousands of reported pQTLs. But when protein-altering genetic variants change the binding site of affinity reagents, these methods can register erroneous signals as the binding strength of the affinity reagent to the protein is diminished. These so-called epitope effects can produce apparent associations between protein expression and genetic variants that do not represent true biology.
By measuring proteins directly at the peptide level, the Proteograph’s mass spectrometry approach made it possible to test whether a genetic variant truly altered protein expression, mitigating the confounding epitope effect.
“The Proteograph platform made it possible to perform population-scale mass spectrometry proteomics with the depth and reproducibility needed for genetic association studies,” said Dr. Suhre. “By measuring proteins directly at the peptide level, we could distinguish true biological effects from assay artifacts—yielding a more reliable map from genes to proteins to disease pathways.”
To contextualize the findings, the study compared mass spectrometry results with two of the largest affinity-based proteomics resources. The comparison revealed a clear pattern:
pQTLs consistently reported across multiple affinity platforms were confirmed by mass spectrometry.
Up to one-third of associations reported by a single affinity platform did not replicate when tested by mass spectrometry. “This study demonstrates that mass spectrometry-based analysis is crucial for proteomics,” said Serafim Batzoglou, PhD, Chief Data Officer at Seer. “By providing peptide-level confirmation at scale, the Proteograph establishes protein measurements that lead to novel genetic associations and help annotate the accuracy of affinity-based pQTL predictions.”
For academic researchers conducting GWAS and Mendelian randomization studies, the message is direct: datasets built only on affinity reagents may contain a substantial fraction of associations that do not represent true protein abundance. Without validation, downstream analyses risk drawing causal inferences from epitope-induced artifacts.
For drug discovery and biomarker development, peptide-level validation strengthens confidence that selected targets represent genuine biology, not technical noise. Reliable associations reduce wasted effort and increase the likelihood that preclinical findings will hold in clinical settings.
For translational research, the study demonstrates how mass spectrometry and affinity reagents can be used together, with mass spectrometry stratifying the level of reliability of affinity-based predictions.
For patients, this rigor means a higher probability that tomorrow’s therapies are built on real biology. Together, they create a path toward comprehensive and trustworthy protein–genetic maps.
This publication marks the validation stage. The Nature Genetics study provides peer-reviewed evidence that mass spectrometry can systematically resolve artifacts and confirm which associations are robust.
The transformation comes in what this enables. As proteomics expands to larger populations and integrates with genomics, epidemiology, and clinical records, the utility of those datasets depends on accuracy. By anchoring discovery on peptide-level confirmation, Seer positions proteomics to become a population-ready science that supports drug targets, biomarkers, and translational medicine with the rigor required for clinical impact.

Regeneron and Tessera Therapeutics to Jointly Develop TSRA-196, an Investigational Gene Editing Therapy for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD)
TSRA-196 is a potential one-time treatment to precisely correct the genetic mutation underlying AATD, with Investigational New Drug filing expected by the end of the year Tessera to receive $150 million, inclusive of a cash upfront and equity investment from Regeneron; companies to share worldwide development costs and future profits 50:50Collaboration combines Regeneron’s long-standing expertise in genetics, genetic medicines and clinical development with Tessera’s pioneering Gene WritingTM and non-viral delivery platforms
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. and SOMERVILLE, Mass., Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:REGN) and Tessera Therapeutics, Inc., today announced a global collaboration to develop and commercialize TSRA-196, Tessera’s lead investigational in vivo Gene Writing program for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), an inherited monogenic disease that can affect the lungs, liver, or both organs, and currently impacts approximately 200,000 people in the U.S. and Europe. TSRA-196 is designed to precisely correct the genetic mutation underlying AATD, with the goal of restoring production of functional alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) protein through a one-time, durable treatment option for patients. Tessera expects to file an Investigational New Drug and multiple Clinical Trial Applications for TSRA-196 with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end of the year.
The collaboration brings together Regeneron’s industry-leading capabilities in genetics and proven track record in advancing novel genetic medicines with Tessera’s innovative Gene Writing and proprietary non-viral delivery platforms. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies will share worldwide development costs and potential future profits relating to TSRA-196 equally. Tessera will receive $150 million, inclusive of a cash upfront payment and equity investment from Regeneron. Tessera is also eligible to receive additional near and mid-term development milestone payments totaling $125 million. Tessera will lead the initial first-in-human trial, while Regeneron will lead subsequent global development and commercialization.
“At Regeneron, we are strong believers in the power of genetics and genetic medicines to transform patients’ lives, and we have a robust portfolio of potential treatments to do just this,” said George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., Board co-Chair, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Regeneron. “Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a serious disease with limited treatment options today and is particularly well suited for Tessera’s gene editing approach. Together with Tessera, we have an opportunity to pioneer new frontiers in genetic medicine and redefine what is possible for AATD patients.”
“This collaboration underscores what we believe is a medically and commercially important opportunity to deliver transformative outcomes with a one-time, intravenously delivered genetic treatment for patients living with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency,” said Michael Severino, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tessera Therapeutics. “Tessera is on the cusp of a critical inflection point as we prepare to enter the clinic in the near term. We are excited to partner with Regeneron, a global leader in innovative biotechnology and genetic medicine, to accelerate the development of TSRA-196 and broaden its potential impact to patients in need.”
The collaboration builds on Tessera’s recent progress in advancing TSRA-196, including preclinical data presented at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy 28th Annual Meeting, which highlighted durable, high-fidelity genome editing of SERPINA1, the locus responsible for AATD, in mice and non-human primates following a single dose of TSRA-196, with high liver editing specificity, no germline or off-target editing, and favorable safety and tolerability using Tessera’s proprietary lipid nanoparticle delivery vehicle. These findings reinforce TSRA-196’s potential to correct the underlying genetic cause of AATD and support its advancement into clinical development.
This agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory agency clearances under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 in the United States.
About Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD)
AATD is an inherited monogenic disease that can affect the lungs, liver, or both organs. It is most often caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene, which encodes alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), a protein produced in the liver and secreted into the bloodstream to protect lung tissue from enzymes such as neutrophil elastase. In individuals with severe AATD, mutations in the Z allele cause AAT protein to misfold and accumulate in the liver, leading to toxic effects such as inflammation and fibrosis. At the same time, insufficient circulating AAT leaves the lungs vulnerable to progressive damage consistent with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema. An estimated 200,000 people in the U.S. and Europe carry two copies of the Z allele (PiZZ genotype), typically resulting in only about 15 percent of normal serum AAT levels. There are currently no FDA-approved therapies that address the underlying genetic cause of AATD, and treatment options remain limited to weekly intravenous augmentation therapy for patients with lung disease.

AmpliTech 5G Division Releases New Band 50 Open RAN Radios
Proof Of Concept Phase Complete – Production Shipments To Start December 2025
AmpliTech launches new Band 50 (n50) 5G Open RAN radios, engineered for long-range FWA coverage with low power consumption and full O-RAN 7.2x compatibility.
Successful field trials on a major LOI project, enabling the company to proceed to production and initial shipments starting December 2025.
Revenue outlook increases from $78M to over $100M, supported by multi-year deployments through 2027 and expanding rural broadband coverage.
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Dec. 01, 2025 – PRISM MediaWire (Press Release Service – Press Release Distribution) – AmpliTech Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPG), a leading designer, developer, and manufacturer of state-of-the-art signal processing components, low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), and advanced 5G/6G ORAN systems, today announced formal release of its new Band 50 (n50) 5G Open RAN radios with capabilities to support large-scale 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) network rollouts.
Band 50 (5G NR n50, around 1.4–1.5 GHz) is a coverage workhorse for new Open RAN-based FWA networks. AmpliTech’s n50 radios are designed to sit on towers, rooftops and poles across designated sites providing:
Wide-area 5G coverage over long distances, due to the relatively low 1.4 GHz frequency, which reaches farther and penetrates buildings better than higher mid-band spectrum.
High spectral efficiency and capacity for home broadband, with ample TDD bandwidth to support speeds up to 100 Mbps per household while serving many users per site.
Open, interoperable interfaces, built to O-RAN 7.2x fronthaul specifications so they can connect to multi-vendor Distributed Unit (DU) and Central Unit (CU) platforms in any Open RAN architecture.
Each Band 50 site required by the end user combines AmpliTech’s radios with any extensive fiber backbone and 5G core software, creating a highly cost-efficient FWA network specifically optimized for any rural or any challenging geography.
AmpliTech’s new Band 50 radios are designed specifically for Open RAN 5G FWA and macro deployments and offer:
O-RAN compliant 7.2x fronthaul, fully interoperable with leading DU/CU stacks.
High-efficiency RF front ends drawing on AmpliTech’s decades of low-noise amplifier (LNA) and RF design expertise.
Optimized 1.4–1.5 GHz performance for deep coverage and strong indoor penetration.
Compact, field-proven hardware designed to reduce power consumption and total cost of ownership.
A scalable architecture that can support three-sector macro sites and denser sectorization in high-traffic areas.
Strategic significance for AmpliTech
AmpliTech has formally completed its field trial with its end customer related to the current $78M LOI publicly released earlier this year. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held earlier this month, signaling our end customer’s approval to initiate production shipments and deployments. AmpliTech has in turn been given the long awaited green light to start shipping our production ready radios, which we will immediately commence in December 2025. Actual forecasts received from our end customer point out to an anticipated increase in total revenues from $78M to slightly over $100M, with shipments of our Band 50 radios to start early December and continuing throughout 2026 and 2027 fiscal years.
“This current Band 50 ORAN 5G radio release project is one of the most ambitious Open RAN and 5G FWA projects AmpliTech has put its sight on, and we are proud that AmpliTech’s research and development activities have placed our company at the forefront of ORAN 5G deployments in the world. Our mission has always been to use our RF and 5G expertise to efficiently connect more people. By releasing our new Band 50 ORAN 5G radios, we are helping delivery of fast and affordable 5G home broadband to FWA projects across the globe, which is exactly the kind of high-impact deployment we built this product line for. This initiative also underscores the strength of AmpliTech’s Open RAN strategy. Band 50 is a powerful coverage layer for emerging markets, and we see similar opportunities in other countries that want to combine digital-inclusion goals with vendor-diversified infrastructure.”

Whitbread PLC's (LSE:WTB) Budget business rates hit has prompted brisk earnings downgrades from analysts, although both Deutsche Bank and Panmure Liberum keep the faith with 'buy' ratings.
The issue stems from new rateable values outlined by Rachel Reeves last week, which will push its business rate bill up by £40-£50 million in the first year. That scale of increase implies rateable values across the Premier Inn estate have more than doubled.
Deutsche’s Tim Barrett notes that hotels were always in the firing line. Headline data from the Valuation Office shows a 76% jump in rateable values for hotels as part of the latest revaluation, compared with rises of 29% for pubs, 14% for restaurants and 10% for general retailers.
What surprised the market was Whitbread’s disclosure that Premier Inn’s increase is roughly twice the hotel industry average. The group is expected to appeal many assessments and push for further cost savings, but the bank has still cut its profit forecasts.
Deutsche trims its profit forecast for FY27 and FY28 by 6% and 9% respectively and lowers its price target from 3,750p to 3,375p.
Panmure reaches a similar conclusion with slightly sharper numbers. It also assumes a £40-50 million hit to business rates in FY27 and folds that into a higher inflation outlook for the group, now 3.5-4.5% versus 2.0-2.5% for FY26.
On that basis, Panmure cuts its FY27 profit estimate by 11% to £441.4 million, while leaving FY26 untouched. Its price target comes down to 3,440p from 3,700p.
Both brokers stress that the revisions reflect the full economic impact as it stands today.
Panmure describes its forecasts as “fully loaded” for cost headwinds, leaving room for upgrades if trading proves stronger or if Whitbread can claw back more of the rates burden through mitigation.
Supply contraction in the wider hotel industry could also provide some support over time.
The shares fell 11.5% on Friday as investors digested the Budget implications. Even after the downgrades, the analysts argue the reaction looks heavy-handed.
Panmure’s revised target still implies close to 40% upside, while Deutsche’s maintains a clear valuation cushion. For now, the focus is on how many rate assessments Whitbread can challenge successfully and how quickly it can offset the hit through efficiencies.

FCX LEGAL ALERT: Freeport-McMoRan Inc. Hit with Securities Fraud Class Action due to Safety Issues -- Investors Notified to Contact BFA Law by January 12
NEW YORK, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after significant stock drops resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws.
If you invested in Freeport, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/freeport-mcmoran-inc-class-action-lawsuit.
Investors have until January 12, 2026, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Freeport securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona and is captioned Reed v. Freeport-McMoRan Inc., et al., No. 2:25-cv-04243.
Why is Freeport Being Sued For Securities Fraud?
Freeport is a mining company with its Indonesian affiliate operating as PT Freeport Indonesia (“PTFI”). PTFI operates the Grasberg Copper and Gold Mine (“Grasberg”), in which the Indonesian government holds a commercial interest. During the relevant period, Freeport touted its safety procedures, including its use of data and technology as well as behavioral science principles to prevent fatal incidents. It indicated it provides the training, tools, and resources needed to identify risks and consistently apply effective controls.
As alleged, in truth, Freeport overstated its commitment to safety, given that it conducted unsafe mining practices at the Grasberg mine which were reasonably likely to result in worker fatalities.
Why did Freeport’s Stock Drop?
On September 9, 2025, Freeport issued a press release on its PTFI operations. It announced that mining operations in Grasberg had been suspended to evacuate seven team members that were trapped due to a landslide at one of its underground mines. This news caused the price of Freeport stock to drop $2.77 per share, or more than 5.9%, from a closing price of $46.66 per share on September 8, 2025, to $43.89 per share on September 9, 2025.
On September 24, 2025, Freeport issued an update on the incident noting that two of the seven individuals had been fatally injured and that the remaining five team members remained missing. In the same release, Freeport noted that due to the suspension in operations, sales were expected to be 4% lower for copper and approximately 6% lower for gold than July 2025 estimates. This news caused the price of Freeport stock to drop $7.69 per share, or almost 17%, from a closing price of $45.36 per share on September 23, 2025, to $37.67 per share on September 24, 2025.
Then, on September 25, 2025, Bloomberg reported that the incident and halt in production was straining the relationship between Freeport and Indonesia, that “the Jakarta government [had already been] looking to take greater control,” and that government officials may increase its demand for an increased share. This news caused the price of Freeport stock to drop $2.33 per share, or more than 6%, from a closing price of $37.67 per share on September 24, 2025, to $35.34 per share on September 25, 2025.
Finally, on September 28, 2025, an Indonesian news organization reported that the incident was preventable, not just a natural disaster. The article quotes an Indonesian professor stating that “the landslide, often termed a mud rush, is a known flow of mud and rocks from the mine cavity, a risk long associated with certain mining methods.” The professor stated, “[i]n other words, this danger is not new and should have been anticipated from the beginning[.]”

KMX LEGAL ALERT: CarMax, Inc. Hit with Securities Fraud Class Action due to Demand Issues and CEO Departure -- Investors Notified to Contact BFA Law by January 2
NEW YORK, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after a significant stock drop resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws.
If you invested in CarMax, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/carmax-inc-class-action-lawsuit.
Investors have until January 2, 2026, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in CarMax securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland and is captioned Jason Cap v. CarMax, Inc., et al., No. 1:25-cv-03602.
Why is CarMax Being Sued For Securities Fraud?
CarMax sells used cars. During the relevant period, the Company touted the strong and sustainable demand for its cars, driven by factors such as a seamless customer experience.
As alleged, in truth, it appears that the announcement of U.S. tariffs imposed on cars provided a short-term boost to demand, as customers purchased cars prior to the tariffs taking effect.
BFA Law is also investigating the unexpected departure of CEO Bill Nash on November 6, 2025, and whether CarMax properly assessed or reserved for its portfolio of car loans.
Why did CarMax’s Stock Drop?
On September 25, 2025, the Company reported disappointing financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal year 2026. Specifically, CarMax announced sales declines across the board, including a 5.4% decline in retail used unit sales, a 6.3% decline in comparable store used unit sales, and a 2.2% decline in wholesale units. The Company also posted a disappointing second quarter net income of about $95.4 million, down from $132.8 million over the prior year. A main reason for the declines, according to CarMax, was a “pull forward” in demand into the first fiscal quarter due to the announcement of tariffs.
On this news, the price of CarMax stock dropped $11.45 per share, or roughly 20%, from $57.05 per share on September 24, 2025, to $45.60 per share on September 25, 2025.
Then, on November 6, 2025, CarMax announced the unexpected departure of CEO Bill Nash and a weak preliminary Q3 2025 outlook. On this news, the price of CarMax stock dropped over 24%.

INSP LEGAL ALERT: Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. Hit with Securities Fraud Class Action due to Product Delays -- Investors Notified to Contact BFA Law by January 5
NEW YORK, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE: INSP) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after a significant stock drop resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws.
If you invested in Inspire, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/inspire-medical-systems-inc-class-action-lawsuit.
Investors have until January 5, 2026, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Inspire stock. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota and is captioned City of Pontiac Reestablished General Employees’ Retirement System v. Inspire Medical Systems, Inc., et al., No. 0:25-cv-04247.
Why is Inspire Being Sued For Securities Fraud?
Inspire develops and manufactures an implantable medical device for the treatment of sleep apnea. The latest version of the device is the Inspire V. The company announced FDA approval of Inspire V on August 2, 2024.
During the relevant period, Inspire repeatedly assured investors that it had taken all necessary steps to facilitate the launch of Inspire V and that it would launch the device as soon as sufficient inventory was available to meet supposedly high demand.
As alleged, in truth, Inspire failed to take basic steps to prepare clinicians and payors for the rollout, resulting in significant delays in adoption of the device. Moreover, the launch suffered from weak demand, as many customers already had excess inventory of the company’s older devices.
Why did Inspire’s Stock Drop?
On August 4, 2025, Inspire disclosed that the Inspire V launch was facing an “elongated timeframe” and as a result, it was reducing its 2025 earnings per share guidance by more than 80%. The company attributed the longer timeframe to a number of previously undisclosed factors including that many implanting centers “did not complete the training, contracting and onboarding required prior to the purchase and implant of Inspire V,” that certain “software updates for claims submissions and processing did not take effect until July 1, [2025]” which meant implanting centers could not bill for procedures until that date, and that demand for the Inspire V was poor because Inspire’s customers had a backlog of older versions of the company’s device.
On this news, the price of Inspire stock dropped $42.04 per share, or more than 32%, from $129.95 per share on August 4, 2025, to $87.91 per share on August 5, 2025.

SNPS LEGAL ALERT: Synopsys, Inc. Hit with Securities Fraud Class Action due to IP Underperformance -- Investors Notified to Contact BFA Law by December 30
NEW YORK, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after a significant stock drop resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws.
If you invested in Synopsys, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/synopsys-inc-class-action-lawsuit.
Investors have until December 30, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Synopsys securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and is captioned Kim v. Synopsys, Inc., et al., No. 3:25-cv-09410.
Why Was Synopsys Sued for Securities Fraud?
Synopsys provides design automation software products used to design and test integrated circuits. The Company’s Design IP segment, which provides pre-designed silicon components to semiconductor companies, has been the Company’s fastest-growing segment, growing from 25% of its revenue in 2022, to 31% in 2024.
During the relevant period, Synopsys told investors that its customers “rely on Synopsys IP to minimize integration risk and speed time to market” and that it was seeing “strength in Europe and South Korea.” Synopsys also stated it was “continuing to develop and deploy[] AI into our products and the operations of our business.”
As alleged, in truth, the Company’s Design IP customers began to require additional customization for IP components, which was deteriorating the economics of its Design IP business and jeopardizing its business model.
The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed
On September 9, 2025, Synopsys released its Q3 2025 financial results, revealing its “IP business underperformed expectations.” The Company reported revenue for its Design IP segment of $425.9 million, a 7.7% decline year-over-year and net income of $242.5 million, a 43% year-over-year decline. The Company revealed that its Design IP customers require “more and more customization,” which “takes longer” and requires “more resources.” As a result, the Company stated it was having “an ongoing dialogue with our customers” regarding changing its business model. This news caused the price of Synopsys stock to fall $217.59 per share, or nearly 36%, from $604.37 per share on September 9, 2025, to $387.78 per share on September 10, 2025.

Investors have until December 15, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in MoonLake common stock. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned Peters v. MoonLake Immunotherapeutics, et al., No. 1:25-cv-08612.
Why Was MoonLake Sued for Securities Fraud?
MoonLake is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing therapies for inflammatory diseases. During the relevant period, MoonLake conducted highly anticipated Phase 3 VELA trials for sonelokimab (“SLK”), an investigational therapeutic designed to treat adult participants with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (“HS”).
MoonLake told investors that its “strong clinical data,” including results from its Phase 2 MIRA trial, translate into “higher clinical responses for patients, and provide ample opportunity for differentiation of sonelokimab versus all competitors.” The Company also stated that SLK’s Nanobody structure differed in beneficial ways from traditional monoclonal antibody treatments from its competitors.
As alleged, in truth, the Company’s clinical data and Nanobody structure did not confer a superior clinical benefit over its competitors, calling into question the drug’s chances for regulatory approval and commercial viability.
The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed
On September 28, 2025, MoonLake reported its week 16 results of the VELA Phase 3 trials. The Company reported disappointing results for both trials, with VELA-2 failing to meet its primary endpoint, calling into question the drug’s chances for regulatory approval and commercial viability. On this news, the price of MoonLake stock fell $55.75 per share, or nearly 90%, from $61.99 per share on September 26, 2025, to $6.24 per share on September 29, 2025, the following trading day.

Stride is an education technology company that provides an online platform to students throughout the U.S. During the relevant period, Stride stated it was seeing “increasing growth in our business,” “in-year strength in demand” for its products and services, and that its customers and potential customers “continue to choose us in record numbers.”
As alleged, in truth, Stride had inflated enrollment numbers by retaining “ghost students,” ignored compliance requirements for its employees, and had “poor customer experience” that resulted in “higher withdrawal rates,” “lower conversion rates,” and had driven students away.
Why did Stride’s Stock Drop?
On September 14, 2025, a report stated that a complaint had been filed against Stride for fraud, deceptive trade practices, systemic violations of law, and intentional and tortious misconduct. It claimed Stride inflated enrollment numbers by retaining “ghost students” on rolls to secure state funding and ignored compliance requirements, including background checks and licensure laws for its employees. This news caused the price of Stride stock to drop $18.60 per share, or more than 11%, from a closing price of $158.36 per share on September 12, 2025, to $139.76 per share on September 15, 2025.
Then, on October 28, 2025, Stride admitted that “poor customer experience” resulted in “higher withdrawal rates,” “lower conversion rates,” and drove students away. Stride estimated the impact caused approximately 10,000-15,000 fewer enrollments and stated that, because of this, its outlook is “muted” compared to prior years. This news caused the price of Stride stock to drop $83.48 per share, or more than 54%, from a closing price of $153.53 per share on October 28, 2025, to $70.05 per share on October 29, 2025.

NEW YORK, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an investigation into Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) for potential violations of the federal securities laws.
If you invested in Beyond Meat, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/beyond-meat-inc-class-action-investigation.
Why Is Beyond Meat Being Investigated for Securities Fraud?
Beyond Meat makes plant-based meat alternatives. In late 2023, the company went through a global operations review and depreciated certain long-lived assets. Beyond Meat said that these assets were recorded in assets held for sale in its consolidated balance sheet at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, and that there were no impairments.
BFA is investigating whether Beyond Meat inflated the value of certain long-lived assets.
Why Did Beyond Meat’s Stock Drop?
On October 24, 2025, Beyond Meat announced that it “expects to record a non-cash impairment charge for the three months ended September 27, 2025, related to certain of its long-lived assets,” which it “expected to be material.” On this news, the price of Beyond Meat stock dropped roughly 23%, from $2.84 per share on October 23, 2025 to $2.185 per share on October 24, 2025.
Then, on November 3, 2025, the company delayed its earnings announcement for 3Q 2025 as it needed more time to complete the impairment review. This news caused Beyond Meat stock to decline substantially during the trading day on November 3, 2025.
Finally, on November 10, 2025, Beyond Meat reported its 3Q 2025 Earnings. It announced that losses from operations was $112.3 million, which included a “$77.4 million in non-cash impairment charges related to certain of the Company’s long-lived assets.”

NEW YORK, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an investigation into BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE: BRBR) for potential violations of the federal securities laws.
If you invested in BellRing, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/bellring-brands-inc-class-action-lawsuit.
Why is BellRing Being Investigated?
BellRing Brands operates in the convenient nutrition category. The Company’s primary brands include Premier Protein and Dymatize, which offer ready-to-drink (“RTD”) protein shakes and powders. During the relevant period, the Company stated that Premier Protein “hit an all-time high in household penetration” and that “demand remains strong.” The Company also stated that its growth was “strong in all channels,” driven by “distribution expansion, accelerating velocities and incremental promotional activity.”
In truth, the Company’s sales growth during the relevant period may have been driven by temporary trade inventory loading at several key retailers, not sustainable end-consumer demand.
The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed
On May 5, 2025, after market hours, BellRing revealed that starting in Q2 2023, “several key retailers lowered their weeks of supply on hand,” which would create a headwind to Q3 2025 growth. The Company also announced it was expanding promotions to boost sales and “offset [] third quarter reductions in retailer trade inventory levels.” On this news, the price of BellRing stock fell $13.96 per share, or more than 18%, from $77.34 per share on May 5, 2025, to $63.38 per share on May 6, 2025.
Then, on August 4, 2025, after market hours, BellRing announced disappointing quarterly consumption of Premier Protein RTD Shakes, which had been expected to outpace shipments by a wider margin given previously announced retailer destocking, but instead came “more in line” with shipments. On this news, the price of BellRing Brands stock fell $17.46 per share, or nearly 33%, from $53.64 per share on August 4, 2025, to $36.18 per share on August 5, 2025.

JEF SHAREHOLDERS: The SEC is Probing Jefferies Financial Group Inc. over its Point Bonita Disclosures – Investors Notified to Contact BFA Law about its Ongoing Investigation
NEW YORK, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an investigation into Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE: JEF) and Point Bonita Capital for potential violations of the federal securities laws after SEC probe is revealed.
If you invested in Jefferies or Point Bonita, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/jefferies-financial-group-inc-class-action.
Why are Jefferies and Point Bonita being Investigated?
Jefferies is an investment banking and capital markets firm. Its trade finance arm is named Point Bonita Capital. Jefferies and Point Bonita were two of the closest banking and financing partners of First Brands Group, LLC, an auto parts supplier which collapsed into bankruptcy in September 2025.
On October 8, 2025, Jefferies announced that it and Point Bonita had approximately $715 million in exposure to First Brands’ receivables, which represents roughly 25% of Point Bonita’s trade finance portfolio. On this news, the price of Jefferies stock fell $4.66 per share, or about 8%, from $59.10 per share on October 7, 2025, to $54.44 per share on October 8, 2025. Investors are reportedly currently seeking redemptions from Point Bonita as well.
On November 27, 2025, it was reported that the SEC is seeking information about whether Jefferies gave investors in its Point Bonita fund enough information about their exposure to the auto business, which filed for bankruptcy in September with $12bn in debt. It was also reported that the SEC is also looking into internal controls and potential conflicts within and between different parts of the bank.
BFA is currently investigating whether Jefferies and/or Point Bonita made materially false and misleading statements to investors in connection with this significant exposure to First Brands and the subsequent SEC probe into the company.

Volatility is no stranger to the digital-asset market, but every sharp drawdown forces the industry to re-evaluate its fundamentals. Bitcoin rose back above $91,000, gaining 4.18% over the past 24 hours. The late-November recovery offers a rare ray of optimism after BTC slid from early October’s $126,000 peak to below $81,000, a nearly 30% retracement. For the first time in weeks, signs of stabilization are beginning to appear.
According to HTX’s official spokesperson, Molly, the latest market correction is not a simple sentiment collapse. Instead, it reflects a three-layer repricing across macro conditions, capital flows, and market structure.
Early Stabilization After a Meltdown
Following several straight weeks of declines, Bitcoin has finally shown a constructive rebound. BTC climbed back above the $90,000 mark with a 4.18% gain in the past 24 hours. The recovery extended to other major assets in the broader market: ETH +3.15%; XRP +6.98%; BNB +2.03%; SOL +3.72%.
Despite the rebound, market sentiment remains fragile. According to Alternative, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose only slightly from 20 to 22, staying firmly in the Extreme Fear zone. Rebuilding investor confidence takes time.
Macro Outlook: A Data Vacuum and Policy Crosscurrents
Market analysts describe this week in the U.S. crypto market as a “tight at first but afterwards loose” period. Thanksgiving and Black Friday compress trading activity, forcing all major trading activities into Monday through Wednesday. A U.S. government shutdown-related data delay and the absence of October non-farm payrolls have increased market reliance on high-frequency labor data. Today’s report showed a decline in the weekly initial jobless claims, signaling that the labor market has not materially weakened. Markets broadly expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates in December, though some institutions argue the Fed still has room to pause.
A wave of Fed speeches ahead of the November 29 blackout period is likely to inject further short-term volatility. The probability of a 25 bp rate cut in December has jumped to 69.3%, sharply higher than last week’s 22%, indicating a significant shift in expectations.
Market Structure: Defensive Posture and Fear-Driven Pricing
The crypto market continues to digest the October drawdown. Bitcoin remains nearly 30% off its recent high, ETF funds experience net negative flows, and the Coinbase premium is weakening. All these signs point to a lower appetite for risk.
Options markets show easing stress. The 1-week put-call skew has fallen sharply from last Friday’s 11% (a 2025 high) to around 4.5%.
Technical indicators flag oversold conditions. Bitcoin’s 14-day RSI has dropped to 32, below the early-October level and near oversold territory. Implied volatility has reverted to April levels, suggesting traders are positioning for a potential breakout.
Broadly, BTC now sits in a late-stage decline phase where panic has cooled, but appetite for risk has not yet recovered. If incoming data continues to show softening consumption and employment, without triggering recession concerns, markets may enter a technical recovery. But with holiday liquidity at seasonal lows, the risk of short-term downward extensions remains.
Short-Term Outlook: Inflection Point and Opportunity
Bitcoin’s key support sits near $80,000, with resistance between $90,000-$95,000. The ability to decisively clear that upper band will determine whether the rebound becomes sustainable.
Current options skew suggests improving sentiment for upside scenarios. Short positions in BlackRock’s IBIT have also fallen sharply, signaling weakening bearish conviction. Although investors remain cautious, allocation is rotating away from simple price speculation toward strategies focused on capital efficiency, yield generation, and information-driven pricing. Capital rotation is already visible across stablecoins, perpetual futures, and other sectors.
Industry Perspective: Finding Opportunity in Panic
In the midst of heightened volatility, Molly emphasized that compliance and innovation should not be viewed as opposing paths. “This is not a binary choice. Multiple systems can evolve in parallel. Our long-term value lies in helping users identify trustworthy, high-quality assets.”
She added that the market sentiment is shifting from fear to hope. In an environment where the industry competes on marketing and hype, HTX’s differentiated approach is to compete with sincerity, not gimmicks. Every step of sincerity is meant to earn long-term trust from users.
Analysts expect crypto investments in 2025 to focus on platform ecosystems, AI–Web3 convergence, policy-driven opportunities, and longtermism. The crypto world has never lacked narratives, but what determines outcomes is the ability to capture consensus-driven upside.
Staying calm during volatility and identifying opportunity amid fear may well be the optimal strategy for the current environment. As global digital-asset markets evolve, exchanges remain the critical gateway connecting users, innovations, and the future of crypto ecosystems.
