While CEO Kelly Ortberg has stressed focusing on fixing quality and financial concerns, a new narrow-body plane remains in development.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIGG Digital Assets Inc. (“BIGG” or the “Company”) (TSXV: BIGG; OTCQB: BBKCF; WKN: A2PS9W), a leading innovator in the digital assets space and owner of Netcoins Inc. (“Netcoins”), Blockchain Intelligence Group, and TerraZero, is pleased to announce that Netcoins has obtained an extension to the exemptive relief decision granted by the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) and other members of the Canadian Securities Administrators, that permits Netcoins to operate a crypto trading platform in Canada for a further two-year term, subject to certain conditions set out in a decision document dated September 29, 2025 (the “decision document”).

Netcoins continues to serve a growing customer base with consistent trading activity and maintains a balance sheet that supports regulatory capital requirements. With this foundation and the extension of the exemptive relief, Netcoins is well-positioned to advance toward its next major milestone — submitting an application to the BCSC, the Autorité des marchés financiers and Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (“CIRO”) to become registered as an investment dealer and an application to CIRO to become a CIRO dealer member (collectively, the “CIRO membership application”).

Fraser Matthews, President and CEO of Netcoins, commented:

“We are excited to have obtained an extension to our exemptive relief to continue to operate as a restricted dealer and continue to build Netcoins as one of Canada’s leading regulated crypto trading platforms, which reinforces our commitment to compliance and transparency. With this foundation, we are advancing towards CIRO membership. We are proud to be one of the few Canadian-owned crypto trading platforms registered in Canada and look forward to serving Canadians for years to come.”

As with all crypto trading platforms in Canada, Netcoins relies on the issuance of this type of exemptive relief to allow it to operate in compliance with Canadian securities laws, and the relief sets out terms and conditions that Netcoins must comply with to carry on its business. In connection with the extension of the exemptive relief, Netcoins delivered an undertaking (the “undertaking”) to the BCSC and the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) in which Netcoins has committed to meet specified milestones on or before certain dates specified in the decision document. Under the terms of the decision document and the undertaking, Netcoins is required to comply with certain conditions, which include, among other things, ensuring that Netcoins has a positive risk-adjusted capital calculation for the financial year end of December 31, 2025, in accordance with the CIRO requirements, by January 31, 2026 and Netcoins submits a complete CIRO membership application with CIRO by June 1, 2026 and CIRO formally accepts such application (the “milestones”). In the event that Netcoins fails to achieve the milestones, Netcoins will be required to implement restrictions on its business within specified timelines, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the OSC and the BCSC. Under the terms of the undertaking, these restrictions would include a requirement to wind down its operations in Ontario.

Details about the terms and conditions on Netcoins’ registration as a restricted dealer, including details about the timelines for the Milestones, are set out in the Decision Document (found here).

Netcoins will continue to work actively and diligently to submit the CIRO membership application by June 1, 2026, and complete the process of becoming a CIRO dealer member. BIGG is confident that Netcoins’ management will be able to meet the required milestones and is committed to providing timely updates to stakeholders.

When is a stock too good to be true? According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), it could be when that stock soars over 900% in just half a month.

On Monday (Sept. 29), the SEC showed what can happen when market exuberance meets the hard limits of oversight when, per a Bloomberg report, it suspended trading in the shares of QMMM, a Hong Kong–based digital media firm.

The agency cited concerns that the surge in QMMM’s share price may have been driven by social media touts rather than fundamentals after the company announced it was diving into crypto with a $100 million “diversified cryptocurrency treasury.”

The company’s meteoric rise instead quickly turned into a cautionary tale about the combustible mix of crypto hype, meme-era markets, and regulatory vigilance. For investors, the episode offers a stark reminder that market narratives, particularly those tied to hot sectors like crypto and AI, can be seductive but fleeting.

The trading halt will last until Oct. 10.

From Anonymity to Meme-Stock Fame

Before September, few investors had heard of QMMM. The company makes its money in digital advertising and trades on Nasdaq via a Cayman Islands holding structure. Its pivot to crypto, complete with talk of artificial intelligence and blockchain, seemed designed to tap the market’s appetite for futuristic narratives.

It worked. In the wake of the announcement, trading volumes spiked and the share price took off. On Reddit threads and X posts, QMMM was hailed as a sleeper bet poised to ride the next crypto wave. Whether or not the buzz was organic, the SEC believes “unknown persons” may have promoted the stock to pump up the price.

The QMMM suspension signals that regulators remain wary of the playbook that mixes bold crypto pronouncements with aggressive online marketing.

QMMM did not immediately reply to PYMNTS request for comment.

At the same time, concept of a corporate crypto treasury has captivated markets before. MicroStrategy famously turned itself into a quasi-Bitcoin holding company, a move that helped propel its stock during bull runs but punished it in downturns. Many smaller firms have tried to replicate that magic, often with disappointing results.

QMMM’s core advertising business offers no obvious synergy with managing digital tokens. Analysts questioned whether its crypto move was visionary or opportunistic. The company’s emphasis on AI and blockchain suggested ambition, but not necessarily capacity.

QMMM’s whiplash rise and pause encapsulate several powerful trends reshaping capital markets.

First, the speed of speculative surges has accelerated. A narrative that once might have taken months to influence a stock now moves markets in days — or even hours — thanks to social platforms and trading apps.

Second, retail investors continue to play an outsized role in shaping price action, particularly in small-cap names. This democratization of investing brings energy and liquidity but also amplifies herd behavior.

Third, regulators are asserting that, even in an era of decentralized finance and social media-driven sentiment, the rules of disclosure and market integrity still apply. Sudden halts like QMMM’s are blunt instruments, but they remind companies that exuberant storytelling has limits.

This episode underscores that, even amid technological shifts and evolving capital flows, fundamental principles — transparency, sound governance, and investor protection — remain essential.

Corporate adoption of crypto assets may yet prove transformative for financial markets, and PYMNTS heard from Farooq Malik, CEO and Co-Founder of Rain, on Wednesday (Sept. 24) about the growing impact of another crypto asset: stablecoins.

Malik expects that one year from now, we’ll be “talking a lot about how stablecoins and tokenized bank deposits interplay with each other,” and especially “how do we create interoperability between various closed loop systems … and the various open loop systems that already exist.”

In a separate PYMNTS roundtable on digital assets with John Ainsworth, general manager at Metallicus; and Jon Ungerland, chief information officer of DaLand CUSO, PYMNTS heard that, within financial services, the ongoing aim is to move the crypto conversation from “can we do this?” to “here’s how we do this responsibly.”

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 29, 2025) - Silver One Resources Inc. (TSXV: SVE) (OTCQX: SLVRF) (FSE: BRK1) ("Silver One" or the "Company") announce it has granted 5,150,000 stock options to its directors, officers and consultants.

About Silver One

Silver One is focused on the exploration and development of quality silver projects. The Company owns a 100%-interest in its flagship project, the past-producing Candelaria Mine located in Nevada. Potential reprocessing of silver from the historic leach pads at Candelaria provides an opportunity for possible near-term production. Additional opportunities lie in unmined historic resources as well as in previously identified high-grade silver intercepts down-dip, which can potentially increase the substantive silver mineralization along-strike from the two past-producing open pits.

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Cherokee project located in Lincoln County, Nevada, host to multiple silver-copper-gold vein systems, traced to date for over 11 km along-strike.

Silver One also owns a 100% interest in the Silver Phoenix Project. The Silver Phoenix Project is a very high-grade native silver prospect, recently permitted for drilling, which lies within the "Arizona Silver Belt," immediately adjacent to the prolific copper producing area of Globe, Arizona.

We’ve all grown accustomed to the positivity surrounding the artificial intelligence frenzy.

Of course, beloved Nvidia has been leading the charge, and several other large-cap technology companies are also set to benefit.

But for those looking for another angle, energy stocks with nuclear and uranium exposure, such as Cameco (CCJ - Free Report) and Vistra (VST - Free Report) , should be considered, given the vast amount of energy used within data centers. Let’s take a closer look at each.

Vistra

With an innovative, customer-centric approach, Vistra operates a reliable and efficient power generation fleet that includes natural gas, nuclear, coal, solar, and battery energy storage facilities. Shares have been scorching hot in 2024, gaining nearly 45% and seeing bullish action thanks to the AI frenzy.

With assets on three continents, Cameco is one of the world's largest uranium producers, positioning it nicely to reap the growing demand for nuclear energy. CCJ shares have similarly been red-hot in 2025 so far, gaining more than 64%.

Tim Gitzel gave a rosy outlook for the company following its latest set of quarterly results, stating, ‘“The solid second quarter and first-half financial performance across our uranium, fuel services, and Westinghouse segments demonstrates the resilience of our strategy and the constructive outlook for nuclear power, significantly improving our overall 2025 expectations.”

Bottom Line

The artificial intelligence theme is undoubtedly here to stay for some time, with many different angles to play the frenzy.

And notably, the energy consumption side of the trade has gotten heavy attention, with both stocks above – Cameco (CCJ - Free Report) and Vistra (VST - Free Report) – seeing their shares move higher in 2025.

What is this about: On July 2, 2025, Reuters published an article entitled "'Preventable' National Grid failures led to Heathrow fire, findings say." The article stated that a "fire that shut London's Heathrow airport in March, stranding thousands of people, was caused by the UK power grid's failure to maintain an electricity substation, an official report said on Wednesday, prompting the energy watchdog to open a probe." Further, the article stated that the United Kingdom's Energy minister, Ed Miliband, had "called the report "deeply concerning", after it concluded that the issue which caused the fire was identified seven years ago but went unaddressed by power grid operator National Grid[.]"

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zacatecas Silver Corp. (TSXV: ZAC; OTC: ZCTSF; Frankfurt: 7TV) (“Zacatecas” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of its over-subscribed non-brokered private placement financing (the “Financing”) of 62,500,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.06 per Unit for total gross proceeds of C$3.75 million. The Financing was previously upsized from C$2.5 million to C$3.75 million in order to include a strategic order from a highly regarded global mining investment fund, underscoring confidence in the Company’s high-grade silver and gold portfolio in Mexico.

Summary

C$3.75 million private placement closed – over-subscribed and backed by a strategic order from highly regarded mining investment fund4,000-metre drill program preparation is underway to drill high-priority El Cristo and Panuco vein systems.El Cristo: testing a large, underexplored vein system geologically linked to the historic Veta Grande, which produced >200 Moz Ag historically.Panuco: follow-up drilling on strong high-grade intercepts and a 20.5 Moz AgEq resource (19 Moz Ag and 19.2 Koz Au) (3.41 million tonnes at 187 grams per tonne AgEq (173 g/t Ag and 0.18 g/t Au). See news release issued on May 30, 2023.Pipeline growth: Company actively reviewing new acquisition opportunities in Mexico to further strengthen portfolio.
Eric Vanderleeuw, CEO and Director states: “This marks a pivotal step in our aggressive growth strategy focused on unlocking the full potential of the El Cristo and Panuco vein systems—two high-priority, high-impact targets in one of Mexico’s most prolific silver districts. Today, Zacatecas Silver is revitalized and fully funded to aggressively advance drilling in what appears to be the early innings of a historic metals market.”

Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), with each Warrant exercisable at $0.10 per Share for a period of two years from the date of issue (the “Expiry Date”). The Company has the right to accelerate the Expiry Date if, at any time, the volume weighted average price of the Shares on the principal exchange or market on which the Shares trade is equal to or greater than $0.20 for 20 consecutive trading days (“20-Day Period”). In the event of acceleration, the Expiry Date will be accelerated to a date that is 30 days after the Company issues the acceleration notice through a news release, provided that the acceleration notice is issued within 10 business days after the end of the particular 20-Day Period.

Under the first tranche of the private placement, the Company paid finders fees of $117,417.33 and issued 1,962,955 non-transferable finders share purchase warrants exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issue. The securities issued under the first tranche are subject to restrictions on resale for a period four months from the date of issue.

The net proceeds of the Financing will be used to advance exploration activities, including drilling at the Company’s flagship Zacatecas Silver Project, as well as for community engagement initiatives, corporate purposes, and working capital.

Insiders subscribed for 1,000,000 Units for $60,000. This participation constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). However, the Company expects to be exempt from formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, as his participation does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

Exploration Path Forward

A 4,000-metre drill program is currently in preparation stages with commencement anticipated in the coming months. Drilling will focus on high-priority targets at both the El Cristo and Panuco North vein systems.At El Cristo, drilling will test a large, underexplored vein system geologically linked to the prolific Veta Grande system, where historic mining produced over 200 million ounces of silver.At Panuco, drilling follows up on strong high-grade results and the updated resource estimate of 20.5 Moz AgEq resource (19 Moz Ag and 19.2 Koz Au) (3.41 million tonnes at 187 grams per tonne AgEq (173 g/t Ag and 0.18 g/t Au). See news release issued on May 30, 2023.
In addition, Zacatecas continues to actively evaluate acquisition and consolidation opportunities in Mexico to strengthen and diversify its project pipeline.

Community Engagement and Drill Readiness

Surface access and community engagement agreements are being supported by the previously announced engagement of Mesoamerican Explore S.A.S. de C.V. (“MES”) to provide environmental and social services and liaise with landowners. This work is underway and completion is expected in the coming months. Roadwork and drill pad construction are complete, and final contractor mobilization is scheduled for late Q4 2025.

Esperanza Gold Project

Regarding the company’s Esperanza Gold Project, Eric Vanderleeuw, CEO, stated:

“Esperanza is an attrative oxide heap leach deposit, low CAPEX and high-grade, with significant scalability. Federal permitting headwinds regarding open-pit permits had required us to pause PEA activities and focus on keeping the project in good standing and at minimum cost - that strategy has worked. We’ve successfully preserved the project at minimal cost, giving us optionality as the policy environment evolves. Few undeveloped assets of this quality and size remain in the sector and we are excited to move forward again.”

About Zacatecas Silver Corp.

The Company has two key projects: the Zacatecas Silver Project in Zacatecas State, Mexico, and The Esperanza Gold Project in Morelos State, Mexico.

The Zacatecas Silver Project is located in Zacatecas state, Mexico, within the highly prospective Fresnillo silver belt, which has produced over 6.2 billion ounces of silver. The Company holds 7,826 hectares (19,338 acres) of ground that is highly prospective for low-sulphidation and intermediate-sulphidation silver base metal mineralization and potentially low-sulphidation gold-dominant mineralization. The Company announced an increase in silver resource at the Panuco South and North underground Mineral Resource Estimate now consisting of 3.41 million tonnes at 187 g/t AgEq (173 g/t Ag and 0.18 g/t Au) for 20.5 million ounces AgEq (19.0 million ounces silver and 19.2 thousand ounces gold) (see news release dated May 31, 2023).

The silver property is 25 kilometres (km) southeast of MAG Silver Corp.'s Juanicipio Mine and Fresnillo PLC's Fresnillo Mine. The Property shares common boundaries with former Pan American Silver Corp., now Defiance Silver claims and El Orito, which is owned by Endeavour Silver.

Esperanza is an advanced stage, attractive low-cost, low-capital-intensity and low-technical-risk growth project located in Morelos state, Mexico. Alamos has progressed the project through advanced engineering, including metallurgical work, while also focusing on stakeholder engagement, including building community relations. The Company announced a Mineral Resource Estimate at Esperanza consisting of a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate of 30.5 million tonnes at 0.97 g/t AuEq for 956 thousand ounces AuEq and an Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of 8.7 million tonnes at 0.98 g/t AuEq for 277 thousand ounces AuEq (see news release dated November 16, 2022).

World's First Large-Scale Trial of Quantum-Secure Stablecoin Settlement Network

BTQ × Danal PoC live: Danal, Korea's #1 mobile carrier billing provider and operator of Paycoin (PCI), has begun a Proof-of-Concept of BTQ's Quantum-Secure Stablecoin Settlement Network (QSSN) across select payment rails, the world's first large-scale trial of quantum-secure settlement on real infrastructure.

What's being tested: QSSN adds post-quantum security, programmable issuer controls (mint/burn, velocity limits, lists), and real-time compliance hooks while preserving today's consumer and merchant UX, leveraging Danal's reach to tens of millions of users across e-commerce, gaming, digital content, and offline retail.

Why now (reg + standards): The PoC addresses "harvest-now, decrypt-later" risk and aligns with global standardization efforts (e.g., QUINSA, U.S. PQFIF), demonstrating that PQC can be deployed at national scale with carrier-grade performance and without operational disruption.

, /PRNewswire/ - BTQ Technologies Corp. ("BTQ" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: BTQ) (CBOE CA: BTQ) (FSE: NG3), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks that Danal Co., Ltd. ("Danal"), Korea's market leader in mobile carrier billing and operator of the Paycoin (PCI) payment service, has begun a Proof-of-Concept ("PoC") deployment of BTQ's Quantum Secure Stablecoin Settlement Network ("QSSN") across select components of its payment infrastructure.

The PoC will evaluate how QSSN can add quantum-secure settlement, programmable issuer controls, and real-time compliance features to Danal's existing rails while maintaining today's user experience for consumers and merchants.

Regulation, PQC Readiness, and Standards Alignment

Regulators and market infrastructures are moving to post-quantum cryptography to mitigate "harvest-now, decrypt-later" risk, creating clear urgency for quantum secure settlement. QSSN is leading global standardization efforts for quantum-secure digital money, including initiatives advanced through QUINSA, and has been highlighted by the U.S. PQFIF for its regulator-friendly architecture. By adding cryptographically enforced issuer controls and compliance-ready integrations while preserving existing user and merchant workflows, this PoC demonstrates that PQC can be deployed at national scale with carrier-grade performance and without operational disruption.

"Danal's reach and track record make it the ideal environment to validate QSSN at real-world scale," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of BTQ. "This PoC is about delivering quantum-secure settlement and modern issuer controls without changing what users do at checkout. It is a major step toward bringing global standardization and post-quantum readiness to everyday payments."
