LONDON/HOUSTON/SINGAPORE, June 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cushing crude storage levels have plummeted in recent months. Inventories fell 11.3 million barrels (mmbbls) to less than 25 mmbbls between early April and early June, according to Wood Mackenzie.

The firm's monitoring spans fixed-roof tanks, caverns, and floating-roof tanks, producing more complete and reliable datasets than satellite-sourced alternatives. While satellite data can estimate volumes in floating-roof tanks, it cannot measure levels in fixed-roof tanks or underground storage caverns. This comprehensive coverage gives Wood Mackenzie unique visibility into US and global crude storage dynamics.

"Rapid Cushing storage draws have been spurred by global supply disruptions surrounding the Middle East conflict. Although domestic supply remains unaffected in the US and Canada, global shortages have supported surges in US crude exports and refinery runs. Shifting balances have contributed to steep US commercial storage draws, despite substantial Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) releases into US Gulf Coast markets," said Dylan White, Director North American Crude Markets at Wood Mackenzie.

Cushing storage capacity utilisation fell below 29% in early June. This compares to the all-time low of 26.7%, which has proven a reliable proxy for Cushing's operational floor. Wood Mackenzie assesses that recent Cushing inventories were less than two mmbbls above minimum levels. If draws persist, Cushing could reach the floor within one to two weeks.

"We are at a critical juncture. The pace of Cushing draws has left the buffer exceptionally thin. The market is responding. But greater flows into Cushing shifts volumes away from other key hubs where inventories are also low," said White.

The market has already reacted as Cushing nears tank bottoms. Permian pipeline flows to Cushing - and away from the US Gulf Coast - have spiked to maintain minimum physical inventories. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price spreads between Cushing and the coast have tightened considerably. Petroleum Administration for Defense District 3 (PADD 3) crude inventories have also been drawing since early May.

Wood Mackenzie expects storage inventory draws to accelerate at key hubs across the US now that Cushing is nearly empty. Continued stock draws could drive critical inventory levels at key hubs within one to two months. This would eventually limit the US export response that has so far helped supplant global supply losses.

US commercial inventories are a particularly visible measure of fundamental balances. Cushing's role as the physical delivery hub for the US crude benchmark makes broader US crude storage an essential, price-informing component of the evolving global story.

"Global inventories will serve as a powerful price indicator in the months ahead. Stock draws - including SPR, commercial, and floating inventories - have played an important role in softening the blow of lost Middle East supply. The inventory cushion is not infinite. If supply disruptions persist, oil prices are expected to reflect a significantly tighter physical market as stocks are depleted," concluded White.

MIAMI, June 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq today, Defiance ETFs confirmed that the Defiance Daily 2X Space ETF (Cboe: SPCL) will seek 2X daily leveraged exposure to SpaceX Class A common stock within its portfolio, making it the first and only U.S. ETF to have 2X exposure to SpaceX on IPO day. The fund's SpaceX exposure was established at the $135 IPO price.

SpaceX priced its initial public offering at $135 per share and begins trading today under the ticker SPCX. At that price, the company is valued at approximately $1.77 trillion, which according to reports ranks as the largest U.S. IPO in history by debut market value.

By establishing its SpaceX exposure at the $135 IPO price, rather than at the price at which the shares first open in public trading, SPCL provides active traders 2X daily leveraged SpaceX exposure from the open.

For full fund details, the prospectus, holdings, and performance current to the most recent month-end, visit defianceetfs.com/spcl or call 833.333.9383.

An investment in SPCL is not a direct investment in the underlying securities. The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. The Fund pursues daily leveraged investment objectives, which means it is riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage. The Fund magnifies the performance of the Target Portfolio and is designed strictly for short-term use. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund's performance will be the result of compounded daily returns, which is very likely to differ from 200% of the return of the Target Portfolio over the same period. It is possible that investors could lose their entire principal within a single trading day.

Important Disclosures

Defiance ETFs LLC is the ETF sponsor. The Fund's investment adviser is Tidal Investments LLC ("Tidal" or the "Adviser").

The Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other important information and can be obtained by calling 833.333.9383 or by visiting defianceetfs.com/spcl. Please read the prospectus and summary prospectus carefully before investing.

An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk. An investor could lose the full principal value of his or her investment within a single day.

Strategy and Reconstitution Risk. The Fund is actively managed and, per its recently amended Prospectus, may reconstitute its portfolio to consist of exposure to a single Space Company security in response to a "Material Space Event" ? defined to include an initial public offering of a company, such as SpaceX, which the Adviser determines to be a significant participant in the space economy. SpaceX's IPO, a Material Space Event, will result in the Fund holding all or a predominant portion of its portfolio in instruments providing exposure to SpaceX shares, subjecting existing and future Shareholders to a substantially more concentrated and potentially more volatile investment portfolio due to such an event. Fund investment results following a reconstitution in response to a Material Space Event may differ materially from prior results and the Fund may as a result temporarily deviate from its daily targeted exposure level. The Fund's prospectus does not require the Adviser to provide advance notice before a reconstitution; however, the Fund's Target Portfolio is published daily on its website at www.defianceetfs.com/spcl.

An investment in the Fund is not an investment in SpaceX. The Fund seeks to obtain exposure to SpaceX Class A common stock, and to other Space Company securities, through derivatives, not by holding the underlying securities directly. Fund holdings are subject to change at any time and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

Focused Portfolio and Concentration Risk. The Fund may seek exposure to one or a limited number of Space Company securities, including SpaceX. Given the Fund's exposure is concentrated in a one or a limited number of underlying stocks, such as SpaceX, the Fund is subject to the price movements, business results, regulatory developments, and other risks specific to SpaceX or other Space Companies. The Fund is significantly less diversified than traditional ETFs, and its performance is more volatile than a fund seeking exposure to a broader market sector or seeking to track a broad-based securities index.

Leverage, Compounding and Daily Reset Risk. The Fund seeks daily investment results equal to 200% of the daily performance of a Target Portfolio consisting of one or a limited number of Space Company securities, which may include or consistent entirely of SpaceX Class A common stock due to the Material Space Event. The Fund obtains exposure in excess of its net assets through leverage, which magnifies both gains and losses. The Fund's returns over periods longer than a single day will likely differ, in amount and possibly direction, from its stated daily target. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if its Target Portfolio performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if its Target Portfolio's performance increases. The Fund is intended for short-term use and is not appropriate for investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.

Newly Public Company Risk. SpaceX has recently completed, or is in the process of completing, its initial public offering. The first day of trading in a newly public company's securities frequently involves extraordinary market activity and may differ significantly from subsequent trading days. For example, trading in SpaceX common stock may be characterized by substantial price volatility, rapid price movements, significant differences between the IPO price and the opening market price, wide bid-ask spreads, trading imbalances, limited liquidity, trading halts, and other market disruptions. These conditions may make it difficult for market participants to value SpaceX common stock and may contribute to significant fluctuations in the market price of the Fund's Shares.

SpaceX-Specific Risks. The Fund's exposure to SpaceX stock will subject it to risks specific to SpaceX, including its expected status as a controlled company with voting power concentrated in founder Elon Musk through Class B common stock (10 votes per share), the Fund's dependence on Mr. Musk's services and reputation, and the execution risk associated with unproven or novel technologies such as the Starship program, next-generation Starlink satellites, and orbital AI initiatives.

Initial Trading Day IPO Exposure Risk. The Fund expects to seek exposure to the performance of SpaceX common stock measured from the opening market price of SpaceX common stock on its first day of exchange trading. The Fund will not seek to provide exposure to the difference between the IPO offering price and the opening market price of SpaceX common stock. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to obtain, maintain, or rebalance its desired level of exposure to the performance of SpaceX common stock during its in initial day of trading.

Derivatives Capacity Constraints Risk. Because SpaceX will be a newly public company, the markets for swap agreements, options contracts, and other instruments that the Fund may use to obtain leveraged exposure may be limited, illiquid, volatile, costly, or unavailable. Counterparties may impose exposure limits, exchanges may impose position limits or other restrictions, and market participants may be unwilling or unable to provide the Fund with the desired level of exposure. These constraints may increase tracking error, cause the Fund to return substantially less than its desired daily leveraged exposure to the performance of SpaceX stock, or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. These risks may be particularly pronounced during the period immediately following an IPO, when trading volumes, liquidity conditions, derivatives availability, counterparty capacity, price discovery, and market volatility may be highly uncertain.

Derivatives and Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund uses swap agreements and/or listed options contracts to obtain economic exposure to its Target Portfolio securities, which are subject to counterparty, liquidity, valuation, correlation, and leverage risks, as well as the risk that a derivative will not perform as expected. The Fund is classified as non-diversified and may invest a larger portion of its assets providing exposure to a single issuer.

Tax Risk. The Fund's use of swaps and other derivatives may produce taxable income, including ordinary income and short-term capital gains, which are generally taxable at higher rates than long-term capital gains.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Fund holdings and exposures are subject to change at any time and should not be considered recommendations to buy or sell any security.

Aymer AI, founded and led by Gautam Garg, is an investor in AI Data Centers

NEW YORK, June 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aymer AI today announced the formation of a strategic venture to develop a 90-acre site in Texas into a large-scale powered land bank designed to support next-generation artificial intelligence and high-performance computing infrastructure.

Project Macedonia will deliver up to 100 megawatts (MW) of power capacity through a hybrid energy strategy that combines traditional grid interconnection with behind-the-meter solutions. This approach is intended to accelerate time-to-power while enhancing reliability and flexibility for hyperscale and enterprise customers.

The site has been selected for its advantageous location, access to energy infrastructure, and proximity to major fiber routes. Once developed, the powered land bank will offer shovel-ready parcels capable of supporting rapid deployment of data center facilities tailored to AI workloads.

"Project Macedonia represents a significant step forward in addressing the growing demand for AI-ready infrastructure," said Gautam Garg, Chief Investment Officer of Aymer AI. "By integrating both grid and behind-the-meter power solutions, we will be creating a scalable and resilient platform that enables customers to deploy capacity faster and with greater certainty."

Development of the site will occur in phases, with initial energization expected to begin upon completion of key infrastructure milestones and regulatory approvals. The project is expected to contribute to local economic growth through job creation, infrastructure investment, and long-term partnerships within the community.

About Aymer AI: Aymer AI invests in the AI data center ecosystem, with a strategy that spans the full stack-from powered land development to public equities tied to the buildout of AI infrastructure. The firm targets three core areas. First, powered land banks: acquiring and entitling sites with access to large-scale energy capacity that can support hyperscale and AI-driven workloads. Second, public equities in companies building what are viewed as "AI factories"-industrial-scale data centers purpose-built for high-density compute. Third, the broader enablement layer, including data center chips and emerging neoclouds that are renting capacity and reshaping how compute is accessed. The firm is backed by a multi-generational middle eastern family office.

If there are only three days to understand China's economic development, Beijing CBD is a good place to start.

BEIJING, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 June 2026 - In mid-June this year, 2026 Beijing CBD Forum Annual Conference will be held as scheduled. Nearly ten thousand participants from five continents will gather here, with international speakers accounting for more than 50% of the lineup. Yet the Forum is but a window; the true landscape worth the world's attention lies just outside ? the central business district itself.

The skyline of Beijing's Central Business District

"International Density" on Seven Square Kilometers

In the core area of Beijing CBD - a mere seven square kilometers - nearly 16,000 foreign-funded institutions and 125 regional headquarters of multinational corporations (MNCs) are located. This represents half of all MNC headquarters resources in Beijing.

This is no coincidence. The district is one of China's most internationally oriented, service-rich, and mature international business zones. From law firms and consultancies to financial institutions, the world's top professional services firms have formed a complete ecosystem here.

What makes the area even more valuable for overseas companies and organizations is that policies here are not just written on paper - they are embedded in actual processes.

From pilot schemes on cross-border data flows, to facilitated access for foreign financial institutions, to one‑stop service desks for international talent ? Beijing CBD has long served as a pilot zone for institutional opening‑up. Foreign enterprises find that issues they encounter here tend to be addressed and resolved more quickly.

During this year's Beijing CBD Forum annual conference, the Ambassadors' Roundtable Dialogue will establish a regular communication mechanism, and the "International Delegations' China Tour" will allow overseas business representatives and zone managers to conduct in‑depth site visits and exchange experiences. What is even more noteworthy, however, is that such exchanges are not confined to the Forum - they continue year-round here.

Beijing CBD: A Sincere and Pragmatic Invitation

Artificial intelligence, the digital economy, green technologies - these areas, known as "new quality productive forces," are not empty buzzwords here. The Forum includes dedicated sessions on technological innovation, financial opening‑up, law-business integration, cultural industries, and international consumption. Yet what truly deserves the attention of potential international partners is the industrial foundation behind these topics.

Beijing CBD is home to the densest concentration of foreign financial institutions and cross‑border capital in China. A large number of tech companies are engaged in cross‑sector collaboration with traditional industries here. High‑end professional services - international law, arbitration, compliance - are highly concentrated, providing support for both inbound and outbound business activities. Moreover, as the starting area of the city's international demonstration zone for law-business integration, the district continues to focus on strengthening the rule of law in commercial affairs, improving its legal services framework, enhancing the resolution of international commercial disputes, and fostering a stable, transparent, predictable, and internationally competitive business environment. In the future, Beijing CBD will build a one‑stop legal and commercial service platform that integrates legal, auditing, intellectual property and other professional resources to precisely serve companies going global and managing cross‑border operations.

Here, you will find that its vitality derives mainly from genuine business judgments about market opportunities. For enterprises, the cooperation logic here is predictable, commercial, and sustainable.

Beijing CBD is not merely a striking poster - it is a real‑world district where hundreds of thousands of business people move every day, thousands of foreign‑funded institutions operate, and countless cross‑border transactions take place.

If you are looking for a stable gateway to the Chinese market, or a high-level hub to connect global resources with local applications, it deserves your consideration.

The Forum's 2026 annual conference lasts only three days. But Beijing CBD is open all year round.

FREMONT, Calif., June 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dmitry Shubov Consulting, an advisory firm helping Southeast Asian startups scale into the U.S., is telling founders to watch out for what it calls the 2026 U.S. "pilot trap." The warning stems from a recent LegalBooks article, "How to Structure Enterprise Pilots That Show Traction," which highlighted why clear success metrics and a direct path to full adoption are so vital.

Looking at this issue through a cross-border lens, Dmitry Shubov Consulting notes that many Southeast Asian startups can misread early U.S. pilot projects, software trials, or enterprise testing as a sign of market readiness. The trouble is, they are rarely prepared for the complex pricing, contracting, procurement, and rollout demands needed to turn that initial interest into a lasting commercial deal.

For many founders, getting a U.S. company to test a product feels like a major breakthrough. And in some ways, it is. But Dmitry Shubov Consulting says a pilot only matters if the company knows how to carry that momentum forward once the trial period ends.

"Too many founders see a pilot in the U.S. as proof that they've already gained real traction, when often it only shows that a company is willing to test something new," said Dmitry Shubov, founder of Dmitry Shubov Consulting. "If there's no clear plan for pricing, internal ownership, decision-makers, and what happens after the pilot ends, that momentum can fade very quickly."

The firm says this is where many promising expansion efforts begin to lose steam. Startups may focus heavily on product performance during a pilot but spend too little time thinking through what comes next - who owns the budget, how success will be measured, what legal review may be required, and what would need to happen for the customer to move from a short-term test to a paid relationship.

Rather than treating a pilot as a simple sign that the product works, Dmitry Shubov Consulting says founders should look at it as the beginning of a much bigger business process. That means being clear on what success looks like, who inside the customer's organization is actually making the decision, what issues might come up during legal or procurement review, and what needs to happen for the relationship to continue after the pilot wraps up. With funding still tight in 2026, the firm says startups cannot rely on early interest alone - they need to show they can follow through.

By raising this pressing issue now, Dmitry Shubov Consulting hopes to encourage founders to look at pilot activity more carefully and more strategically. Early U.S. interest can be valuable, but only if a startup is prepared to turn that opening into something lasting. Reach out to Dmitry Shubov Consulting for more information.

At Dmitry Shubov Consulting, our mission is to connect accredited investors with groundbreaking legal technology startups, fostering innovation and growth across Southeast Asia and helping Asian businesses enter the U.S. market.

*After more than 150 years of appearing side by side, Heinz and Heineken launch their first official collaboration; a mildly revolutionary Heinz x Heineken six-pack, which includes five Heineken beers and one bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup

*A partnership that might feel unexpected, but is actually incredibly obvious

*And, as all good brand collaborations do, has even ventured into the world of fashion with a limited edition Heinz x Heineken jersey so consumers can wear this pairing with pride

*Fans of both brands can be in for the chance to win the exclusive six-pack and the jersey via the Heinz Instagram

AMSTERDAM, June 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For more than a century, HEINZ and Heineken have played a role in bringing people together? around tables, in front of screens, at events, and beyond. Now the two iconic brands have officially come together to celebrate a connection of their own - giving everyone the match we've all been waiting for.

An iconic limited edition six pack featuring five Heineken beers and one bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup. This is an official collaboration between two brands whose connection has been sitting in plain sight for 150 years.

Whilst brand collaborations are nothing new, this one was set side by side in the name itself? a detail that's hard to ignore once you've seen it, and one that makes this feel less like a new idea, and more like something that was always bound to happen. An unexpected but obvious partnership.

Because whilst the world often leans into rivalries? especially at times like this? some pairings never really play that game. In fact, sometimes they are even better together.

Karen Owen, Chief Growth Officer at HEINZ Europe and Pacific, said, "For 150 years, HEINZ and Heineken have been part of the moments that bring people together. This summer, we're making it official. From the irrational love that inspires our fans to go 'all in' to our shared commitment to quality, this partnership may be our most rational one yet."

Nabil Nasser, Global Head of Brand Heineken, added, "Heineken has always been about sparking fresh connections. This collaboration is a reminder that even the most unlikely pairings can feel completely natural when they're part of shared moments - it's the match we've all been waiting for? as unexpected as it might be."

With collaborations becoming more and more exclusive, these two beloved brands have created something that everyone can get their hands on. Consumers can create their own Heinz x Heineken? DIY six-pack, offering a simple, official take on a pairing that's been around for years.

And if you want to get your hands on the six-pack and an exclusive Heinz x Heineken jersey, stay tuned to the Heinz Instagram for the upcoming giveaway.

Leading allergy experts to convene in Istanbul to explore how science, prevention and policy can reduce the global impact of allergic diseases

ZURICH, June 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As allergic diseases continue to affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide and place growing pressure on healthcare systems, the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) is calling for a new ambition in global health: Vision Zero, a future free from allergy and asthma burden.

This vision will serve as the central theme of the EAACI Annual Congress 2026, taking place in Istanbul, T?rkiye, from 12 to 15 June 2026, where thousands of clinicians, researchers and healthcare professionals will gather to discuss the latest scientific advances and the future of allergy and asthma care.

Rather than accepting allergic and respiratory diseases as an inevitable and increasing public health challenge, EAACI believes that scientific innovation, prevention strategies and coordinated policy action can significantly reduce their impact on individuals, families and societies.

"Vision Zero reflects our determination to move beyond disease management and towards disease prevention and burden reduction," said Mar?a Torres, President of EAACI. "The scientific progress we are witnessing today gives us reason to be ambitious. Through collaboration across research, clinical practice and public health, we can work towards a future where allergy and asthma no longer limit the lives of millions."

The Congress will showcase emerging research and clinical developments across immunotherapy, environmental and genetic factors, digital health technologies, precision medicine and preventive approaches. Discussions will also address health equity and the need to ensure that advances in allergy and asthma care are accessible to patients worldwide.

Allergic diseases are among the most common chronic conditions globally, with prevalence continuing to rise in many regions. The burden extends beyond healthcare, affecting education, productivity, quality of life and mental wellbeing. Against this backdrop, EAACI's Vision Zero initiative seeks to encourage long term thinking about what is possible when scientific discovery is matched by effective implementation and policy support.

"The concept of Vision Zero challenges us to think differently," said Andr? Moreira, EAACI Vice President of Congresses. "It encourages the allergy community to focus not only on treating disease but also on preventing it, reducing its impact and creating healthier environments for future generations."

Held at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Istanbul will provide a fitting setting for international collaboration and knowledge exchange. The Congress is expected to bring together experts from across the world to accelerate progress towards a future where allergy and asthma burden is substantially reduced.

About EAACI

The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) is the leading professional organisation dedicated to excellence in allergy and immunology. EAACI works to improve the health of people affected by allergic diseases through research, education, advocacy and the promotion of high-quality patient care.

Pitch Notes:

New survey finds enterprises investing aggressively in AI to avoid being left behind - even as many struggle to prove returns, often due to inadequate networks

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 June 2026 - Enterprise AI spending is climbing rapidly, with boards racing to deploy the technology faster than they can measure whether it works. According to the latest IDC InfoBrief, commissioned by Expereo*, around 70% of organizations are investing in AI, motivated by its potential or by the fear of falling behind the competition, but they lag in disciplined ROI evaluation, and one in five (20%) admit they are investing aggressively in AI with little evaluation, driven by the fear of being left behind.

In Asia Pacific (APAC), that pressure is even more pronounced as 37% of organizations admit investing aggressively with little evaluation - nearly double the global average, and well ahead of the US (10%) and Europe (13%). The pressure is most acute in Australia (45%) and Vietnam (44%), while in Singapore, more than one in three organizations admit the same.

The IDC InfoBrief, based on a survey of 800 technology leaders across APAC, Europe, and the US, found that AI has become one of the most prioritized technology investments globally, with 51% of organizations planning to prioritize AI or machine learning investment over the next 12 months - rising to 61% across APAC. However, returns are failing to keep pace with the hype. Just 19% of global organizations surveyed say their AI implementations have exceeded expectations, and only 5% report they have significantly exceeded them1.

Across APAC, 40% say implementations have exceeded or significantly exceeded expectations ? ahead of the global average but still leaving the majority falling short. Globally, the most-cited reasons for underperformance are inadequate or poor-quality training data (51%), higher-than-expected costs or ROI not achieved (47%), and AI not performing as well as expected (46%). For APAC specifically, the picture is broadly similar ? though costs bite harder: 49% cite poor-quality training data, 54% cite cost overruns or ROI not achieved (rising to 80% in Malaysia), and 46% say AI has simply not performed as expected.

Where organizations have the right foundations in place, the results speak for themselves. Across APAC, 87% report productivity improvements in the business units most affected by AI, and 82% say quality of work has improved.

Underpinning many of these challenges is also a network and infrastructure readiness gap. Globally, 26% of organizations whose AI implementations have failed to meet expectations cite inadequate network or connectivity performance as a contributing factor. Looking ahead, 54% of organizations say they need more flexible and scalable networks to thrive in an AI-driven environment, and 51% need greater resilience and reliability to maximize uptime2. In APAC, the gap is acute as only 9% of organizations describe their network infrastructure as fully ready to support new AI, cloud, and digital initiatives, and 37% say it will need upgrading or replacing soon. The need is most acute in Thailand (74%) and Singapore (58%), both of which rank above the regional average on demand for flexible, scalable networks. In Indonesia, nearly half of all organizations (48%) say their infrastructure will need upgrading or replacing soon.

Ben Elms, CEO, Expereo, says: "Every enterprise we speak to is investing in AI, yet the data shows a clear gap opening up between AI ambition and AI outcomes. More often than not, that gap comes down to the network underneath. AI only delivers on its promise when the infrastructure carrying it is built to support it.

Without resilient, scalable, cloud-optimized networks, even the most well-funded AI programs will struggle to deliver ROI. Getting the network right is no longer an IT decision; it is one of the most important conversations happening in the boardroom today to help fulfill AI ambition."

APAC is also leading on adoption, with 35% of organizations reporting extensive AI use across the business, against a global average of 25%3. Yet adoption alone is not enough without the right foundations beneath it.

Eric Wong, President, APAC, Expereo, says: "Asia Pacific is moving aggressively on AI adoption, but many organizations are discovering that scaling AI successfully requires more than just investment in applications and models. The underlying network, cloud connectivity, and operational readiness matter just as much. Across the region, we are seeing enterprises reassess whether their infrastructure is truly ready to support AI at scale, particularly around performance, resilience, governance, and visibility. Organizations that address those foundations early are generally seeing stronger outcomes and faster operational impact from their AI initiatives."

Boardrooms are also waking up to the longer-term risks of unchecked AI investment. According to the survey, 54% of global tech leaders cite the creation of new security risks as a significant potential future threat for their organization's use of AI, while 39% globally are concerned about losing track of AI-related costs and ROI once the technology is embedded across the business4. In APAC, that concern is sharper still as 41% of technology leaders in the region are worried about losing oversight of AI-related costs and ROI as adoption deepens ? a figure that rises to 54% in Malaysia. Digital sovereignty is also moving up the strategic agenda, with 38% of APAC organizations rating it a high or top priority as they look to retain control over data and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

Dalam rangka merayakan 10 tahun NetBox, perusahaan mengumumkan konferensi unggulan NetBox untuk memimpin evolusi berikutnya dalam inovasi infrastruktur di Era AI

NEW YORK, June 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NetBox Labs hari ini meluncurkan platform kecerdasan infrastrukturnya, sebuah sistem terpadu yang memungkinkan tim infrastruktur teknologi membuat model atas tujuan operasional mereka, memantau aset yang sudah tersedia melalui pengadaan dan bagaimana penerapannya, menjalankan tindakan melalui otomatisasi yang dipercepat AI, serta mengelola setiap perubahan dengan batasan pengaman bagi manusia dan agen AI.

NetBox, yang telah digunakan dalam ratusan ribu implementasi, menjadi sistem data resmi berstandar industri yang merupakan inti dari NetBox Labs Platform. Platform NetBox Labs, yang telah berperan penting dalam operasional neocloud, pusat data AI hyperscale, perusahaan, dan operator OT di seluruh dunia, diandalkan oleh perusahaan seperti ARM, Cisco, CoreWeave, dan J.P. Morgan Chase untuk mengelola infrastruktur yang kompleks dan berkembang pesat, pada skala sangat besar. Cakupan luas platform ini tercermin dari cara pelanggan memanfaatkannya: lebih dari sepertiga pelanggan mengandalkan beberapa produk NetBox Labs untuk menjalankan operasional infrastruktur mereka.

Saat ini, NetBox Labs terus memperluas platformnya dengan cepat untuk memenuhi kebutuhan kecerdasan infrastruktur menyeluruh bagi basis penggunanya yang sangat besar. Karena jaringan dan infrastruktur kini semakin kompleks, tim membutuhkan lebih dari sekadar sumber tepercaya jaringan untuk membantu mereka memahami lanskap yang kian rumit. Dengan berbagai kapabilitas baru yang kini tersedia, NetBox Labs Platform memperluas kecerdasan infrastruktur bagi organisasi di tahap mana pun dalam perjalanan modernisasi mereka sehingga mereka dapat membuat model, memantau, mengambil tindakan, dan mengelola infrastruktur dengan percaya diri.

MEMBUAT MODEL: Data Infrastruktur Dunia

Perusahaan ini telah mengumpulkan pendanaan lebih dari 55 juta dolar AS dari investor kelas dunia, serta mengembangkan kemitraan strategis di seluruh ekosistem integrator sistem global, termasuk WWT, AHEAD, Presidio, dan lainnya.

"Sepuluh tahun lalu, NetBox mengatasi masalah penting dengan memberikan sumber tepercaya yang kredibel bagi tim infrastruktur," ujar Kris Beevers, CEO dan salah satu pendiri NetBox Labs. "Namun saat ini, perusahaan di semua tingkat kematangan membutuhkan lebih dari sekadar sumber tepercaya. Mereka membutuhkan sistem data resmi yang memberikan pemahaman tepercaya dan terus diperbarui tentang infrastruktur sehingga manusia maupun AI dapat mengoperasikannya secara aman dan percaya diri. Apa pun tahap perjalanan Anda, mulai dari baru menggunakan agen AI hingga sudah membangun stack pengelolaan infrastruktur otomatis, NetBox Labs adalah platform fondasional untuk menjalankan infrastruktur dalam skala apa pun. Kami bangga melihat sejauh mana NetBox telah berkembang, dan berterima kasih kepada komunitas kami. NetBox Labs akan selalu berinvestasi dalam open source, sekaligus terus memperluas platform komersial kami dengan cepat untuk membantu organisasi mengelola kompleksitas yang terus meningkat dengan lebih gesit, percaya diri, dan terkendali."

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched Universal Cup, a global football-themed community campaign that invites users to compete for a share of a 250,000 USDT prize pool through an interactive mini-game inspired by one of the biggest sporting events this year.

Built around the "Don't Just Watch. Rule the Game," Universal Cup transforms spectators into participants through a global competition where users represent nations, score points, climb leaderboards, and unlock rewards throughout the tournament.

Players can choose from 48 countries and participate in a penalty shootout challenge featuring moving targets representing Crypto, Stocks, and CFDs. Individual scores contribute to national rankings, creating a live global leaderboard that evolves throughout the competition. Users can continue participating across every stage of the tournament, even if their original nation is eliminated simply by switching countries. The tournament runs from June 11 till July 19 2026.

The campaign includes a total prize pool of 250,000 USDT distributed through daily rewards, leaderboard rankings, lucky draws, and championship prizes. Top participants will compete for rewards throughout each tournament phase, with additional prizes available to members of the eventual winning nation.

"For years, sports fans have been some of the most passionate audiences in the world, but mostly as spectators," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "Crypto changes that dynamic by making participation part of the experience. Universal Cup brings together competition, community, and engagement around a global sporting moment while giving users a fun introduction to the Universal Exchange ecosystem."

Universal Cup builds on Bitget's long-standing connection with the global football community. The company previously partnered with football icon Lionel Messi and currently serves as an official regional partner of LALIGA across Eastern, Southeast Asian, and Latin American markets. Through the Universal Cup, Bitget brings that relationship one step further, creating an interactive experience where football fans and traders can participate together rather than simply follow the action from the sidelines.

Don't just watch. Rule the Game. Join the Universal Cup.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has introduced free Level 2 market data for US stocks, becoming one of the first trading platforms to offer professional-grade market depth information to eligible users at no additional cost.

Level 2 market data has historically been associated with professional trading desks and institutional participants due to the cost of exchange data licensing. By making these tools available to eligible users at no additional cost, Bitget is lowering one of the longstanding barriers between retail and professional market access, while providing deeper visibility into order flow and liquidity conditions.

The feature provides access to Nasdaq TotalView and Blue Ocean market data feeds, offering up to 40 levels of bid and ask depth, depth charts, and real-time trade information across US pre-market, regular trading hours, after-hours, and overnight sessions. Eligible users who qualify for VIP 1 through trading volume or VIP 3 through asset holdings can access the service free of charge, amounting to annual savings of up to $276 compared with traditional market data subscriptions.

The launch follows the announcement of Bitget's Stocks 2.0, which has expanded access to equities, ETFs, stock perpetuals, tokenized assets, and multi-asset trading tools. As the lines between crypto and traditional markets continue to blur, traders increasingly expect the same level of market intelligence and execution tools regardless of asset class.

"Crypto makes financial opportunities more open and accessible," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "In traditional markets, data and insights come at a premium. We're eradicating that by making professional grade stock market data available to our users, who can now access tools that were once limited to a small segment of the market."

This further expands Bitget's Universal Exchange vision, where crypto assets and tokenized financial instruments live together, operating within a unified trading environment. By combining professional-grade market infrastructure with multi-asset access, Bitget continues building toward a trading experience where users can navigate global markets from a single platform.

*O2 telah berhasil menguji coba teknologi baru untuk menghadirkan suara panggilan telepon yang lebih jernih bagi pelanggan dengan gangguan pendengaran

*Uji coba ini dilakukan bersama Mavenir dan menghasilkan profil pendengaran yang dipersonalisasi untuk setiap peserta, sehingga jaringan dapat secara otomatis mengoptimalkan panggilan secara real time

*Teknologi ini berjalan tanpa hambatan di latar belakang, sehingga membantu mengurangi rasa frustrasi sehari-hari karena kesulitan menangkap pembicaraan di telepon

READING, Inggris Raya, June 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- O2 telah melakukan uji coba bukti konsep menggunakan teknologi mutakhir yang dirancang untuk meningkatkan kualitas panggilan telepon bagi pelanggan dengan gangguan pendengaran.

Operator ini bekerja sama dengan Mavenir, penyedia perangkat lunak jaringan berbasis cloud, untuk menguji kemampuan yang berjalan tanpa hambatan di latar belakang. Peserta tetap menggunakan ponsel dan nomor yang sama seperti biasa. Teknologi ini lalu membuat suara panggilan lebih jernih dengan menyesuaikan audio panggilan secara real time sesuai kebutuhan pendengaran masing-masing.

Peserta awalnya menjalani tes pendengaran singkat otomatis untuk mengidentifikasi cara mereka menangkap berbagai frekuensi suara. Tes ini menghasilkan profil pendengaran dipersonalisasi yang terhubung secara aman ke nomor ponsel peserta. Profil tersebut memungkinkan teknologi menyesuaikan suara saat panggilan berlangsung sehingga percakapan terdengar lebih jelas dan lebih mudah dipahami.

Tidak seperti fitur aksesibilitas di perangkat atau aplikasi pihak ketiga, pengoptimalan ini berlangsung di dalam jaringan O2. Dengan begitu, peserta tetap bisa melakukan dan menerima panggilan seperti biasa, dengan suara yang lebih jernih dan lebih mudah dipahami.

Setelah uji coba, hampir 90% peserta melaporkan peningkatan kejernihan suara panggilan. Percakapan pun menjadi lebih mudah dipahami dan risiko kesalahpahaman berkurang. Peserta juga merasa lebih mudah mendengarkan percakapan dan pengalaman menelepon terasa lebih alami.

Meski masih berada pada tahap awal, uji coba bukti konsep ini menunjukkan bagaimana teknologi berbasis jaringan dapat membantu meningkatkan aksesibilitas dan komunikasi sehari-hari bagi orang dengan gangguan pendengaran.

Mary Higgins, yang mengalami tuli sangat berat dan ikut serta dalam uji coba ini, mengatakan: "Biasanya, menelepon terasa melelahkan dan menyebabkan stres bagi saya, bahkan saat memakai alat bantu dengar. Menelepon tanpa alat bantu dengar terasa hampir mustahil. Pengalaman menggunakan teknologi ini benar-benar berbeda. Saya bisa mendengar dengan jelas tanpa alat bantu dengar dan tidak perlu terus-menerus meminta lawan bicara mengulang ucapannya."

Jorge Ribeiro, Director of Core Networks di Virgin Media O2, mengatakan: "Bagi banyak orang dengan gangguan pendengaran, menelepon bisa menjadi pengalaman yang sulit dan menimbulkan frustrasi. Uji coba ini memanfaatkan kecerdasan di dalam jaringan kami untuk meningkatkan kualitas pengalaman tersebut, tanpa mengharuskan pelanggan mengubah cara mereka menelepon. Kami senang melihat hasil awal dari bukti konsep ini, dan antusias untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana teknologi semacam ini dapat membantu menghadirkan layanan yang lebih mudah diakses bagi pelanggan kami di masa mendatang."

Brandon Larson, SVP & General Manager, Cloud, AI & IMS Business Strategy di Mavenir, mengatakan: "Jaringan inti merupakan platform canggih untuk inovasi layanan dan menghadirkan manfaat baru bagi pelanggan. Kemitraan kami dengan Virgin Media O2 dalam meningkatkan kualitas pengalaman menelepon bagi pelanggan mereka dengan gangguan pendengaran merupakan contoh nyata dari hal tersebut."

Celebrating 10 years of NetBox, the company announces flagship NetBox conference to lead the next evolution of infrastructure innovation for the AI Era

NEW YORK, June 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NetBox Labs today launched its infrastructure intelligence platform, a unified system that lets technology infrastructure teams model their intent, see what's procured and how it's deployed, act through AI-accelerated automation, and govern every change with guardrails for humans and AI agents.

With hundreds of thousands of deployments, NetBox is the industry standard system of record that sits at the core of the NetBox Labs Platform. Already critical to the operations of neoclouds, hyperscale AI datacenters, enterprises, and OT operators worldwide, companies like ARM, Cisco, CoreWeave and J.P. Morgan Chase rely upon the NetBox Labs Platform to manage complex, fast-evolving infrastructure at enormous scale. The platform's breadth is reflected in how customers use it: more than a third rely on multiple NetBox Labs products to run their infrastructure operations.

Today, NetBox Labs is rapidly expanding its platform to address full-spectrum infrastructure intelligence needs for its massive install base. As networks and infrastructure have become more complex, teams need more than just a network source of truth to help them make sense of their increasingly complicated footprint. With today's array of new capabilities, the NetBox Labs Platform extends infrastructure intelligence to organizations at any stage in their modernization journey to model, see, act upon, and govern their infrastructure with confidence.

MODEL: The World's Infrastructure data

NetBox Data Exchange (NDX) is the world's largest curated catalog of infrastructure component metadata, covering tens of thousands of device types across hundreds of manufacturers. Instead of digging through vendor PDFs, teams pull lifecycle, environmental, operational, and observability metadata directly into the NetBox Labs Platform, ready for planning, automation, compliance, and AI-driven workflows. More here.

NetBox Asset Lifecycle is a native procurement pipeline connecting network design to physical deployment. It generates and manages bills of materials (BOMs), purchase orders, shipments, and spares against planned DCIM objects ? creating one auditable thread from approval through installation in the system of record teams already trust. More here.

SEE: Continuous Visibility from Intent to Reality

NetBox Assurance shows teams what's deployed, how it's changing, and where operational reality differs from intended design. The product's discovery capabilities eliminate manual data entry and detect drift, while NetBox Assurance continuously validates that your system of record matches what's running, so teams can understand and fix drift, ensuring automation always runs on current, accurate data. More here.

ACT: The Infrastructure Data Layer for AI Agents

The NetBox Labs Platform MCP Server and a new array of official agent skills for the NetBox Labs ecosystem make infrastructure readable and writable by AI agents. With comprehensive tools for every platform capability, per-user authentication, and data management guardrails with branching and change approval gates, any MCP-compatible agent can operate the NetBox Labs Platform, and the open library with dozens of agent skills teaches it to do so correctly. Now, any agent can work with NetBox Labs, complementing the platform's embedded agent, NetBox Copilot. More here.

GOVERN: Compliance and Resilience, Validated before every Change

NetBox Validation brings continuous compliance auditing, pre-change safety verification, and infrastructure resilience analysis into the NetBox Labs Platform. It combines three engines - intent validation, configuration analysis, and infrastructure resilience ? to answer two questions: "Is this change safe to deploy?" and "What breaks if this fails?" With NetBox Validation, teams gain compliance and audit readiness. Meanwhile, AI agents gain critical guardrails and self-correction capabilities enabling agentic operations with confidence. More here.

The NetBox Labs Platform news comes as the company and the NetBox community celebrate a decade since the open source network source of truth was first released. Since its start in 2016, NetBox has earned 20,000+ GitHub stars, with more than 350 releases and 15,000+ commits from nearly 400 contributors, making it the world's most widely adopted system of record for complex networks and infrastructure.

In 2023, NetBox Labs was founded as the commercial steward of NetBox with the mission to make it easier to build and manage complex networks and infrastructure. Over the last three years, the company has announced innovations spanning operations, observability, drift management, AI, and much more, rapidly extending the impact of the NetBox Labs Platform and driving accelerating growth and adoption. The company has raised more than $55 million from world class investors, and developed strategic partnerships across the global system integrator ecosystem including WWT, AHEAD, Presidio, and more.

"Ten years ago, NetBox solved a critical problem by giving infrastructure teams an authoritative source of truth," said Kris Beevers, CEO and cofounder of NetBox Labs. "But today, enterprises of all maturity levels need more than just a source of truth. They need a system of record that delivers a trusted, continuously updated understanding of infrastructure that both humans and AI can operate against safely and confidently. Whether just starting out with agents or well on your way to an automated infrastructure management stack, NetBox Labs is the foundational platform for running infrastructure at any scale. We are proud of how far NetBox has come and thankful for our community. NetBox Labs will always invest in open source, while continuing to quickly expand our commercial platform to help organizations manage growing complexity with greater speed, confidence, and control."

To mark the 10th birthday of open source NetBox, NetBox Labs will be hosting NetBox Evolve, its inaugural conference for the community, customers and partners, on October 13, 2026 at the Kennedy Space Center in Orlando, Florida. Those interested in learning more can visit netboxevolve.com.

As the commercial steward of NetBox, the open-source infrastructure system of record trusted by 10,000+ organizations for more than a decade, NetBox Labs streamlines infrastructure procurement, modeling, deployment and management for both humans and agents.
