Deposits Are Open for hBTC, the Vault Token for Hilbert Group’s BTC Basis+ Strategy
Syntetika, a tokenization hub for regulated investment strategies, opened deposits today for its first strategy: BTC Basis+, managed by the publicly traded Hilbert Group.
Syntetika makes investment strategies that run inside regulated funds accessible directly from a wallet. Each fund operates with independent custody, and each cycle its net asset value is attested by an independent third party. That attested NAV is the price at which vault tokens are issued and redeemed.
BTC Basis+ is a Bitcoin basis strategy: it holds Bitcoin exposure and captures the funding spread between spot and futures markets, with returns denominated in Bitcoin terms. Participants deposit cbBTC through the Syntetika platform in a permissionless way. Deposits are queued and subscribed into the fund at the next processing cycle, with hBTC minted at an attested NAV. Redemptions follow the same cycle.
Syntetika launches with partners Tulipa Capital on strategy curation, Ember Protocol on vault infrastructure, and Yield Network as Liquidity Syndication Partner. The platform launches on Base. Reserves behind its tokens will also become checkable by anyone through Chainlink Proof of Reserve.
“Today Syntetika opens its doors with BTC Basis+,” said Jorge Cuartero, CEO of Syntetika. “What we are really launching is the platform underneath it: infrastructure built to carry a growing set of regulated strategies onchain. This is day one of that roadmap.”
BTC Basis+ is open for deposits now at syntetika.io

SS Support Network has expanded its healthcare BPO and call center services beyond NEMT to serve home care agencies, clinics, dental and behavioral health practices, and DME suppliers across the United States.
Vancouver, WA, United States, 10th Aug 2026, Grand Newswire – SS Support Network LLC, a business process outsourcing and call center company serving U.S. healthcare providers, today announced the expansion of its service portfolio beyond non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) to serve home care agencies, medical clinics, dental practices, behavioral health providers, hospice organizations, and durable medical equipment suppliers.
The expansion extends the company’s existing operational model — dedicated, HIPAA-trained agents who work inside each client’s own software and answer in the client’s company name — across a broader range of healthcare back-office functions. These include 24/7 patient call handling, appointment scheduling, referral intake, insurance verification, prior authorization support, medical billing and denial management, provider credentialing, caregiver scheduling, and dedicated virtual assistants.
“Our NEMT clients taught us that the problem isn’t specific to transportation,” said Shahzaib Shah, CEO of SS Support Network LLC. “A home care agency losing weekend referrals to voicemail and a dialysis transport company losing after-hours trips are the same operational problem. The provider is running the phones instead of running the business.”
The company reports that its longest-running NEMT client, which engaged SS Support Network more than two years ago while operating in a single state, now operates across multiple states with SS Support Network handling its inbound calls, dispatching, driver coordination, broker portal management, trip assignment, patient and driver follow-ups, and billing.
The expansion responds to documented pressure across U.S. healthcare administration. Industry research indicates that administrative staffing shortages have made in-house hiring for billing, scheduling, and patient support increasingly difficult for small and mid-size providers, while denial rates and prior authorization workloads continue to climb.
SS Support Network operates under signed Business Associate Agreements with HIPAA-trained agents, and provides all services on month-to-month terms with no setup fees. New clients receive a free operations audit that reviews current coverage gaps and provides a written recommendation.
About SS Support Network SS Support Network LLC is a business process outsourcing and call center company registered in Vancouver, Washington, with a second office in Pakistan, serving healthcare providers across the United States. The company provides 24/7 patient call handling, NEMT dispatch, medical billing, provider credentialing, insurance verification, and back-office support to NEMT providers, home care agencies, clinics, and specialty healthcare practices.

Texas ESA Letter reports growing appointment activity among younger adults, with internal 2026 data showing an increased share of requests from individuals ages 18–34 compared with the same period in 2025.
HOUSTON, Texas — August 9, 2026 — Texas ESA Letter today reported a growing share of appointment activity among younger adults through its online platform, based on an internal review of company records from January through July 2026. The company found that individuals between the ages of 18 and 34 accounted for approximately 42% of recorded appointment requests during the first seven months of 2026, compared with 31% during the same period in 2025.
The company said the figures represent an 11-percentage-point increase in the share of appointment requests attributed to the 18-to-34 age group during the measured period. The internal review examined approximately 2,400 appointment requests recorded between January 1 and July 31, 2026, and compared the results with approximately 1,900 requests recorded during the corresponding period of 2025.
According to Texas ESA Letter, the data was reviewed as part of the company’s regular assessment of appointment activity and administrative operations. The review focused on age distribution, appointment volumes, and changes in the composition of requests received through the company’s digital platform.
The company said the increase among younger adults represents one of the more noticeable changes identified in its 2026 appointment data. Individuals between 18 and 34 accounted for approximately 1,008 of the 2,400 requests recorded during the 2026 review period, compared with approximately 589 of the 1,900 requests recorded during the corresponding 2025 period.
“The internal figures show a clear change in the composition of appointment activity during the first seven months of 2026,” said JAKE, CEO at Texas ESA Letter. “The increase in the share of requests from younger adults is one of the trends identified through the company’s ongoing review of platform activity.”
The company said the data is being used for internal operational planning, including the assessment of appointment volumes, administrative workloads, and scheduling activity. Texas ESA Letter stated that the review does not attempt to determine why individual users seek appointments and does not represent an independent demographic study.
The company also noted that the figures reflect activity recorded through its own platform rather than the broader Texas population. The data therefore does not establish a statewide or national trend and should not be interpreted as a representative survey of younger adults.
The 2026 review forms part of Texas ESA Letter’s broader internal reporting process. The company periodically reviews appointment information to identify changes in platform activity and assess operational requirements.
During the January-to-July 2026 period, the company recorded an overall increase of approximately 26% in appointment requests compared with the same period in 2025. Within that total, requests from individuals aged 18 to 34 increased at a higher rate than the overall appointment volume.
Texas ESA Letter said the age distribution of appointment activity will continue to be monitored during the remainder of 2026. Additional internal reporting may be conducted as more appointment data becomes available.
The company emphasized that the reported figures are based solely on administrative records maintained through its platform. The figures are not the result of a medical study, demographic survey, or independent research project.
Texas ESA Letter said the findings provide an internal snapshot of changes in platform activity and will be considered alongside other operational information during future planning.

Semantic XEO is a proprietary, math-driven AI visibility engineering framework within B2AI Communication. It structures a business’s knowledge, evidence, authority, and differentiators so AI agents and LLM-powered systems- including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity- can find, understand, verify, and accurately represent the business.
The Semantic XEO framework structures business knowledge, evidence, and authority for AI agents, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and emerging AI answer and recommendation systems.
SINGER ISLAND, FL, United States, 10th Aug 2026 – Intelligent Care Alliance today announced the expanded rollout of Semantic XEO, a proprietary AI visibility engineering framework that helps businesses become visible, accurately understood, and better positioned for recommendation by AI agents and large language model systems.
Semantic XEO is designed for the expanding ecosystem of AI technologies influencing how people discover businesses, evaluate expertise, compare providers, and make purchasing decisions. These technologies include consumer-facing platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and other emerging AI assistants, answer engines, autonomous agents, and LLM-powered recommendation systems.
As people increasingly ask AI systems questions such as “Which provider should I trust?”, “Who specializes in this service?” or “What is the best option for my situation?”, businesses face a new visibility challenge. A company may have an attractive website, strong traditional search rankings, and an excellent reputation, yet still be missing from AI-generated answers or represented inaccurately.
Semantic XEO addresses this challenge by engineering the business information that AI systems and agents can retrieve, interpret, verify, and use when generating an answer.
“Businesses are no longer communicating only with people,” said Dr. Kathryn Alderman, creator of Semantic XEO and founder of Intelligent Care Alliance. “They are also communicating with the AI agents helping people make decisions. Semantic XEO creates the structured meaning, evidence, and authority signals these systems need to understand what a business does, whom it serves, why it is different, and whether its claims can be trusted.”
Creating AI Visibility Across the LLM Ecosystem
AI visibility is broader than appearing in a traditional search result. It concerns whether AI systems can find a business, understand its identity and expertise, verify its claims, distinguish it from competitors, and confidently include it in a generated response.
Different AI platforms use different models, retrieval systems, search indexes, data sources, and reasoning processes. Semantic XEO does not attempt to optimize a business for only one platform. The framework develops a consistent information foundation that can support recognition across a broader ecosystem of AI agents and LLM-powered systems.
This includes:
Conversational AI systems such as ChatGPT and Claude
AI search and answer platforms such as Perplexity
Google Gemini and AI-generated search experiences
Microsoft Copilot and other enterprise AI assistants
Specialized healthcare, legal, financial, and professional-service agents
Emerging autonomous agents capable of comparing providers and completing tasks
Future AI systems that rely on structured, verifiable business information
“ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity may not produce identical answers, because they do not all retrieve and interpret information in exactly the same way,” Dr. Alderman explained. “Our objective is to engineer a clear and corroborated business identity that can be understood across multiple systems. We measure visibility in the answers these systems provide rather than assuming that one technical change will produce the same result everywhere.”
From Marketing Language to Machine-Readable Meaning
Traditional marketing was developed primarily to capture human attention. It often relies on visual presentation, emotional language, broad positioning statements, and claims such as “best,” “premium,” “leading,” or “world-class.”
AI systems require greater specificity.
They evaluate language, entities, relationships, context, evidence, consistency, and corroboration across multiple sources. When a business depends heavily on vague promotional language, an AI system may struggle to determine what is factually distinctive or relevant about that organization.
At the center of Semantic XEO is XENKEY, a structured meaning language created to organize business knowledge into focused, factual, and context-rich units. Each unit is designed to communicate what is true, whom the information concerns, why it matters, and what evidence or context supports it.
The XENKEY technical specification is published openly at xenkey.org for examination and continued development.
“Large language models convert language into mathematical representations of meaning,” Dr. Alderman said. “Semantic XEO uses that understanding to reduce ambiguity and strengthen semantic alignment. We replace broad, noisy marketing claims with information that is specific, relevant, consistent, and verifiable.”
The framework does not claim that any single formula controls what an AI platform recommends. Its mathematical models provide a disciplined way to evaluate meaning, alignment, consistency, discoverability, and competitive authority across the business’s information ecosystem.
Retrieval helps an AI system find a business. Structured meaning helps the system understand it. Evidence and corroborated authority help the system evaluate whether it should be included among the recommended options.
The AI Visibility Framework Within B2AI Communication
Semantic XEO is not a separate marketing service or a renamed version of conventional search engine optimization. It is the AI visibility engineering framework within B2AI Communication, or business-to-artificial-intelligence communication.
B2C communication is designed for consumers. B2B communication is designed for businesses. B2AI Communication is designed for the AI systems increasingly positioned between businesses and the people they want to reach.
The discipline focuses on communicating a company’s identity, expertise, services, evidence, relationships, authority, and differentiators in forms that AI systems can process.
Semantic XEO engineers this communication across the layers machines may use, including:
Website content
Entity definitions
Structured data and schema
Business and professional profiles
Machine-readable knowledge files
XENKEY meaning units
Public relations and third-party coverage
Supporting evidence and citations
Cross-platform business information
Emerging agent-interaction standards
The goal is to create a consistent representation of the business across human-readable and machine-readable environments.
Three Integrated Areas of AI Visibility Engineering
Semantic XEO is implemented through three connected areas:
Engineered PR develops external trust and authority signals. It connects business claims to structured proof, expert positioning, relevant media coverage, and third-party evidence that AI systems may retrieve and use for corroboration.
Engineered Readability creates the foundational business identity and meaning architecture. This may include entity clarification, XENKEY development, structured content, knowledge organization, schema alignment, and machine-readable resources.
Engineered Authority strengthens the business’s competitive position through differentiation, consistency, cross-platform corroboration, and evidence alignment. It is designed to help a qualified organization become a stronger candidate when AI systems compare businesses within a category or geographic market.
Every engagement begins with a Semantic XEO Diagnostic. The diagnostic documents how systems such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity currently identify, describe, compare, and recommend the organization.
That baseline is used to identify visibility gaps, inaccurate information, weak authority signals, missing evidence, and areas of semantic confusion. Changes can then be monitored across multiple AI systems and prompt categories.
Because AI-generated answers can vary according to the platform, model, prompt, user context, location, retrieved sources, and timing, Semantic XEO does not guarantee placement within any particular response. Instead, it creates and measures the structural conditions that can improve accurate AI recognition and recommendation readiness.
Built for Businesses Where Trust Drives the Decision
Semantic XEO initially serves organizations in industries where expertise, reputation, and trust strongly influence customer decisions. These include medical and dental practices, law firms, health and wellness organizations, luxury and lifestyle companies, and wealth-advisory brands.
The framework is part of the Intelligent Care Alliance Innovation AI Ecosystem, which develops applied AI strategies for healthcare and professional-service organizations.
Dr. Alderman developed Semantic XEO while advancing her education in AI agentic systems through a professional program associated with the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering. Her work brings together more than two decades of experience in dentistry, business strategy, communications, and applied artificial intelligence.
Semantic XEO and XENKEY are the subjects of pending federal trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The formulas, methodologies, and implementation processes form part of Intelligent Care Alliance’s developing intellectual-property portfolio.
“The future of visibility will not be determined only by whether people can find a website,” Dr. Alderman said. “It will also depend on whether AI agents can understand the business behind that website. We create the visibility infrastructure that helps deserving businesses become accurately represented, credibly trusted, and appropriately considered by the AI systems influencing human decisions.”
Semantic XEO accepts a limited number of client engagements each quarter. Businesses can request a diagnostic and learn more at semanticxeo.com.

The proprietary trading firm of the OFinancial group introduces three routes to funding, four trading platforms, and simulated accounts of up to $250,000.
OFunded has entered the proprietary trading market with a funding offering built on the infrastructure, execution quality, and support culture of OFinancial Markets.
OFinancial Markets describes OFunded as the proprietary trading firm of the OFinancial group. The company says it has applied the same infrastructure, execution quality, and support culture used by its brokerage business to the funded trading environment.
OFunded offers three routes to a funded account: Instant Funding, a 1-Step Challenge, and a 2-Step Challenge. The different routes allow traders to choose between beginning without a traditional evaluation, completing one evaluation phase, or following a two-phase process.
“OFunded is our answer to a question we heard for years: I can trade, but where do I find the capital?” said Abdulkader Abdi, Founder and CEO of OFinancial Markets.
Three Routes to a Funded Account
OFunded’s 2-Step Challenge is its most affordable route, starting from $89. Traders are required to reach an 8% target during the first phase and a 5% target during the second phase, with no time limit on either phase.
The 1-Step Challenge requires traders to complete a single evaluation phase, while Instant Funding allows traders to skip the traditional evaluation process and begin with no growth target.
Across the three routes, OFinancial Markets states that OFunded does not apply a consistency rule, permits news trading, and allows Expert Advisors. Traders must continue to comply with the applicable loss, drawdown, and program rules.
Four Trading Platforms
OFunded provides access to four trading platforms:
cTrader
DXTrade
MatchTrader
GooeyPro
According to OFunded, traders can choose the platform that best suits their trading approach while using the same funding terms and payout structure.
The platform comparison published by OFunded positions cTrader around depth-of-market tools and cBots, DXTrade around browser-based access, MatchTrader around mobile and copy-trading functionality, and GooeyPro around systematic and algorithmic trading.
OFunded provides access to more than 150 instruments across forex, indices, metals, and cryptocurrencies under simulated market conditions.
Simulated Accounts of Up to $250,000
Depending on the selected program, OFunded offers simulated funded accounts of up to $250,000. Its official materials state that account gains are shared through a tiered structure reaching up to 90%, with payout requests available on a monthly basis.
OFunded’s official website states that all funded-account trading is simulated. Traders operate with notional capital, and performance within the program does not represent live trading outcomes.
With three funding routes, four platform options, more than 150 instruments, and the infrastructure of the OFinancial group, OFunded is positioning its offering around greater choice in how traders enter and use a funded trading program.
Further information about OFunded’s programs, pricing, platforms, and trading rules is available on its official website.
About OFunded
OFunded is the proprietary trading firm of the OFinancial group and is operated by OMNI Markets LLC. It provides access to simulated trading evaluations and funded accounts through Instant Funding, 1-Step, and 2-Step programs.

Revenue in the brokerage and banking segments grew by 60% and 54%, respectively; total assets reached $14.0 billion as the company continued to expand its digital ecosystem and international banking presence
Freedom Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: FRHC), an international financial services and technology group, today announced its condensed consolidated financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, covering the three months ended June 30, 2026.
The company’s net revenue increased by 40% to $732.5 million, compared with $524.0 million in the same period last year. Growth was driven primarily by the brokerage and banking businesses, together with the continued expansion of Freedom’s telecommunications, payments, travel, and other digital services. As of June 30, 2026, Freedom Holding Corp.’s total assets were $14.05 billion, compared with $13.16 billion as of March 31, 2026. Shareholders’ equity increased to $1.54 billion, while cash and restricted cash totaled $2.82 billion at the end of the reporting period.
Freedom Holding Corp. also expanded its digital ecosystem through the acquisition of ChessBase GmbH. A month after the reporting period, the company completed its acquisition of an approximately 99.32% stake in Turkish Bank A.Ş., further strengthening its international banking presence.
“We have made a strong start to the new fiscal year, significantly increasing revenue while continuing to deliver strong quarterly profits. This allows us not only to invest actively in the further development of the Freedom ecosystem, but also to expand it into new markets. We completed the acquisition of a bank in Turkey, where we will soon begin rolling out our ecosystem, which has already proven successful in Kazakhstan,” said Timur Turlov, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Freedom Holding Corp.
Key Financial Results
Interest income increased by 49% to $295.1 million, driven by higher interest income from margin lending, interest income on loans to customers, and securities portfolios.
Fee and commission income rose by 46% to $156.7 million, primarily driven by higher brokerage activity and growth in brokerage service commissions. Net gains on trading securities increased by 75% to $79.8 million, reflecting higher valuations of securities positions and gains from the sale of Kazakhstan sovereign and corporate debt securities.
Total expenses increased by 45% to $691.7 million, compared with $476.5 million a year earlier. The increase was driven mainly by higher insurance claims and policyholder benefits, interest expense, payroll and bonuses, and general and administrative expenses.
Net income for the quarter was $31.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared with $37.4 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, a year earlier.
Business Segment Results
Revenue in the brokerage segment was up 60% to $282.6 million. This growth was driven by higher client trading activity, increased fee and commission income, and greater use of margin financing. Meanwhile, revenue in the banking segment rose by 54% to $225.2 million. This reflected higher interest income, gains on transactions in Kazakhstani government and corporate debt securities, and foreign exchange operations.
Revenue in the Other segment doubled to $73.9 million due to the expansion of the telecommunications business and increased activity across Arbuz and the company’s payment processing, travel and ticketing businesses.
Expansion of the Customer Base and Banking Business
As of June 30, 2026, the banking segment served 5.447 million customers, up from 5.026 million as of March 31, 2026. The brokerage segment served 874,000 customers, the insurance segment 924,000, and the Other segment 1.498 million.
Total assets in the banking segment increased by 12% during the quarter to $6.03 billion, while the deposit portfolio grew by 20% to $3.03 billion. The segment’s trading portfolio increased by 31% to $2.27 billion.

Revenue in the brokerage and banking segments grew by 60% and 54%, respectively; total assets reached $14.0 billion as the company continued to expand its digital ecosystem and international banking presence
Freedom Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: FRHC), an international financial services and technology group, today announced its condensed consolidated financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, covering the three months ended June 30, 2026.
The company’s net revenue increased by 40% to $732.5 million, compared with $524.0 million in the same period last year. Growth was driven primarily by the brokerage and banking businesses, together with the continued expansion of Freedom’s telecommunications, payments, travel, and other digital services. As of June 30, 2026, Freedom Holding Corp.’s total assets were $14.05 billion, compared with $13.16 billion as of March 31, 2026. Shareholders’ equity increased to $1.54 billion, while cash and restricted cash totaled $2.82 billion at the end of the reporting period.
Freedom Holding Corp. also expanded its digital ecosystem through the acquisition of ChessBase GmbH. A month after the reporting period, the company completed its acquisition of an approximately 99.32% stake in Turkish Bank A.Ş., further strengthening its international banking presence.
“We have made a strong start to the new fiscal year, significantly increasing revenue while continuing to deliver strong quarterly profits. This allows us not only to invest actively in the further development of the Freedom ecosystem, but also to expand it into new markets. We completed the acquisition of a bank in Turkey, where we will soon begin rolling out our ecosystem, which has already proven successful in Kazakhstan,” said Timur Turlov, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Freedom Holding Corp.
Key Financial Results
Interest income increased by 49% to $295.1 million, driven by higher interest income from margin lending, interest income on loans to customers, and securities portfolios.
Fee and commission income rose by 46% to $156.7 million, primarily driven by higher brokerage activity and growth in brokerage service commissions. Net gains on trading securities increased by 75% to $79.8 million, reflecting higher valuations of securities positions and gains from the sale of Kazakhstan sovereign and corporate debt securities.
Total expenses increased by 45% to $691.7 million, compared with $476.5 million a year earlier. The increase was driven mainly by higher insurance claims and policyholder benefits, interest expense, payroll and bonuses, and general and administrative expenses.
Net income for the quarter was $31.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared with $37.4 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, a year earlier.
Business Segment Results
Revenue in the brokerage segment was up 60% to $282.6 million. This growth was driven by higher client trading activity, increased fee and commission income, and greater use of margin financing. Meanwhile, revenue in the banking segment rose by 54% to $225.2 million. This reflected higher interest income, gains on transactions in Kazakhstani government and corporate debt securities, and foreign exchange operations.
Revenue in the Other segment doubled to $73.9 million due to the expansion of the telecommunications business and increased activity across Arbuz and the company’s payment processing, travel and ticketing businesses.
Expansion of the Customer Base and Banking Business
As of June 30, 2026, the banking segment served 5.447 million customers, up from 5.026 million as of March 31, 2026. The brokerage segment served 874,000 customers, the insurance segment 924,000, and the Other segment 1.498 million.
Total assets in the banking segment increased by 12% during the quarter to $6.03 billion, while the deposit portfolio grew by 20% to $3.03 billion. The segment’s trading portfolio increased by 31% to $2.27 billion.
On June 24, 2026, S&P Global Ratings raised the long-term issuer credit ratings of Freedom Finance JSC, Freedom Finance Europe Ltd., Freedom Finance Global PLC, and Freedom Bank Kazakhstan JSC from “B+” to “BB-.” The outlooks on all four entities are stable.
