The college conferred more than 6,000 diplomas this year, with students celebrating in person and virtually

INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2025 / Fully online private college, American College of Education (ACE), honored its 20^th graduating class on July 26, adding to its community of over 44,000 alumni. More than 700 graduates and their loved ones filled Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH, for two ceremonies, while more than 4,500 viewers streamed virtually.

The momentous event included remarks from Columbus’ mayor, the Honorable Andrew Ginther, in the afternoon ceremony and a Star-Spangled Banner performance by Columbus Blue Jackets national anthem singer Leo Welsh.

Full of inspiration, the college’s 2025 Alumni Achievement Award recipient, Dr. Belinda Reyes, addressed the class with words marked by leadership, motivation and celebration. Keynote speaker – renowned author, executive coach and founder of the CaPP Institute, Valorie Burton – empowered attendees with insights on resilience, happiness and success.

“Years ago, I deferred my dream of achieving a terminal degree because my daughter needed me, and the constraints of a brick-and-mortar university did not have the flexibility I needed to accomplish all my responsibilities well,” Dr. Reyes shared.

“But ACE made that dream possible again – this time on my terms because I demanded more from an education, and ACE delivered with an online, flexible and rigorous program that didn’t require me to stop living. It asked me to live out loud and use every lesson in real time as a scholar-practitioner.”

Historically held in Indianapolis, the annual commencement celebration has seen a growing number of graduates, loved ones and volunteers, requiring a larger venue. More than 90 ACE employees traveled from around the country to volunteer and honor the graduates in Columbus.

In his remarks, ACE President and CEO Geordie Hyland said, “Today is not just about celebrating your achievements, it’s also about looking towards the future. As graduates, you have a responsibility to use your degrees to make a difference in the world.

Your education equips you with the tools to create positive change, whether it be in your workplaces, your communities or society at large. Embrace this responsibility and strive to make a meaningful impact wherever your journey takes you.”

Offering more than 60 career-connected online programs, ACE is honored to serve thousands of professionals through affordable, flexible and quality learning.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2025 / tZERO, a pioneer in digitally-native capital markets infrastructure, will launch the tZERO Chain, a next-generation blockchain purpose-built for the compliant issuance, trading and settlement of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). The launch will also introduce the $TZERO utility token, which will serve as the core transaction and incentive layer for the network.

Leveraging over a decade of leadership in compliant digital securities, tZERO is establishing a blockchain ecosystem that bridges traditional financial markets with the programmable efficiency of decentralized infrastructure. tZERO has long been a pioneer in securities tokenization, and, together with its subsidiaries, operates a leading suite of regulated infrastructure. This includes one of only two special purpose broker-dealers in the U.S. authorized to self-custody digital asset securities and provide clearing for other broker-dealers. tZERO also operates an alternative trading system (ATS), an introducing broker-dealer, a broker-of-record/placement agent for primary capital raisings, and a transfer agent. tZERO is backed by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), a Fortune 500 company and leading global provider of financial technology and data services, and parent company of the New York Stock Exchange.

Real-world asset tokenization is projected to grow into a multi-trillion-dollar market. Industry reports estimate that over $10 trillion in assets could be tokenized by 2030, including securities, private credit, real estate, collectibles, and luxury goods.

The tZERO Chain is purpose-built to serve a broad spectrum of market participants – including broker-dealers, investment platforms, asset managers, and regulated issuers – with a focus on compliance, scalability, and composability. The network is expected to launch with up to $1 billion in tokenized assets across multiple categories, including tokenized securities, alternative investments, institutional-grade funds, and yield-bearing stablecoin securities. Momentum is expected to accelerate through integrations with regulated financial platforms and tokenization partners.

“Over the past decade, we’ve helped shape the evolution of digital securities and regulated market structure,” said David Goone, CEO of tZERO. “The tZERO Chain is a natural progression of our vision – a compliant, performant, and interoperable blockchain network designed from day one for the tokenization of real-world assets at scale.”

tZERO envisions a future where everything of value can be tokenized – not just securities and funds, but also alternative and illiquid assets such as fine art, classic cars, rare watches, vintage wine, luxury collectibles, real estate, intellectual property, and more. The tZERO Chain is being built to support this universal tokenization thesis on a secure, regulation-friendly platform that integrates natively with common DeFi protocols, expanding global distribution, composability, and liquidity access for compliant digital assets.

Key features of the tZERO Chain include:

• Hybrid Public-Permissioned Architecture: Combines open EVM-compatible infrastructure with embedded compliance logic to support both DeFi and regulated finance.

• Integrated Regulated Market Infrastructure: Interoperable with the ecosystem operated by tZERO’s broker-dealer subsidiaries in the U.S., including ATS, custody and settlement, as well as transfer agent services.

• Native Utility Token ($TZERO): Powers network transactions, incentives, compliance triggers, and future governance.

• Cross-Chain Interoperability: Allows tokenized assets to be used, traded, and settled across other leading blockchains – bringing real-world assets into the broader Web3 ecosystem, in compliance with applicable regulations.

• DeFi-Enabled RWA Composability: Turns real-world assets into first-class DeFi assets – available for lending, trading, staking, and yield generation.

• On-Chain Market Data Layer: Built-in oracles deliver proprietary pricing and analytics for alternative assets such as fine art, collectibles, and luxury goods.

• Patent-Protected IP: Enforceable patents for real-time settlement and compliant tokenization provide a defensible technology moat.

The tZERO Chain introduces a novel hybrid model – combining controlled infrastructure with open access for builders and compliant asset issuers. Developers can build on familiar Ethereum tooling while accessing modules for identity verification, compliance disclosures, and asset governance.

“There hasn’t been a blockchain truly purpose-built for compliant asset tokenization – until now,” said tokenization pioneer Stephane De Baets. “With the launch of tZERO Chain and the $TZERO token, we finally have the infrastructure to tokenize real estate and other real-world assets at scale.”

The $TZERO token will be launched as a core part of the network’s infrastructure, powering transactions, smart contracts, governance, and incentives for participants across both traditional and decentralized finance. Details on tokenomics, infrastructure access, and issuance partners will be released in the coming weeks.

This milestone builds upon tZERO’s legacy as a leader in the tokenization of traditional assets and comes at a time when institutional and regulatory interest in blockchain-based infrastructure has reached an inflection point.

Flurry of new legislation including OBBBA, GENIUS Act, and aggressive tariff policies creates portfolio rebalancing opportunities amid market volatility

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2025 / The first half of 2025 has delivered an unprecedented wave of legislative changes that are fundamentally reshaping investment strategies across asset classes. The passage of the GENIUS Act on July 18, 2025-the first major cryptocurrency legislation in U.S. history-combined with the sweeping One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) signed on July 4, and President Trump’s aggressive tariff implementation beginning with 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and 10% on China, has created both opportunity and uncertainty across traditional and alternative investment markets.

“We’re witnessing a once-in-a-generation convergence of policy changes that are forcing institutional investors to completely rethink their allocation strategies,” said Marious Sjulsen, Chief Investment Officer. “While headlines chase crypto euphoria and tariff disruptions, the real opportunity is in the assets everyone else is overlooking.”

The New Legislative Reality

The legislative activity has been nothing short of historic. The Senate voted 68-30 to pass the GENIUS Act, establishing rules for the roughly $238 billion stablecoin market and creating a clearer framework for banks, companies and other entities to issue digital currencies. This crypto-friendly legislation has contributed to Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies hitting all-time highs, with the crypto market reaching a record $4 trillion soon after the vote.

Meanwhile, tariff announcements have increased economic policy uncertainty to its highest point since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Economic Policy Uncertainty Index doubling in value from the start of January. The scale of the announcements on April 2nd exceeded economist and market expectations, sending the S&P 500 down over 10% in the two days immediately following.

“The policy shifts we’re seeing are creating massive dislocations across asset classes,” noted Charles Clinton, CEO. “Smart investors aren’t chasing shiny objects. They’re positioning where fundamentals meet opportunity. That intersection is clearly in commercial real estate.”

Investor Behavior Amid Policy Turbulence

Bitcoin hit a record high of $123,153.22 on July 14th, crossing $120,000 for the first time in history. The GENIUS Act’s passage has legitimized stablecoins, with major financial institutions scrambling to enter the market.

But the tariff reality is harsh: companies importing goods face immediate cost increases that historically have been passed to consumers once price levels stabilize. For now, however, companies have been absorbing the tariffs while waiting to see what tariff rates will level at. Technology, materials, energy and industrial sectors-with foreign revenue exposure as high as 57%-are particularly vulnerable to margin compression.

Commercial Real Estate: The Contrarian Play

While markets chase crypto euphoria and panic over tariff disruptions, commercial real estate presents a compelling contrarian opportunity. The sector combines favorable valuations, robust policy tailwinds, and fundamental recovery indicators-a rare trifecta in today’s volatile environment.

Bottom-Cycle Valuations: Industry experts believe values hit the bottom at the end of 2024 after falling 20%-40% from peak levels. At the same time, core transactions traded at 20% to 25% discounts to 2021 valuations, which created compelling entry points for patient capital.

Legislative Rocket Fuel: The OBBBA delivers substantial benefits. 100% bonus depreciation is permanently restored for property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025. The Qualified Opportunity Zone program becomes permanent, with enhanced rural investment benefits offering 30% basis step-ups after five years.

“We’re seeing institutional capital flood toward real assets with built-in tax advantages and defensive characteristics,” said Sjulsen. “While everyone’s focused on Bitcoin hitting new highs, we’re buying cash-flowing properties at generational discounts with permanent tax benefits.”

Market Dislocations Create Institutional Opportunities

The legislative whirlwind has created significant market dislocations favoring patient capital in real assets. Since Q4 2024, commercial real estate activity has increased-lending standards are loosening, price discovery is recovering, and asset write-downs are decreasing.

Yet policy uncertainty keeps most investors on the sidelines. The numbers tell the story: Blackstone sits on over $62 billion in inflows with $177 billion of dry powder. TPG and Brookfield have similar war chests waiting for deployment.

“The institutions with the biggest checkbooks aren’t chasing crypto at all-time highs or trying to navigate tariff chaos,” observed Clinton. “They’re positioning for the CRE recovery that’s already underway but hasn’t been recognized by the broader market yet.”

Fundamental Recovery Gaining Momentum

CRE fundamentals are strengthening across sectors, even as media attention focuses elsewhere:

• In Q2 2025, industrial leasing activity improved 4.2% year-over-year despite economic headwinds and muted net absorption

• CBRE projects that the absence of meaningful new supply in the retail sector will result in low vacancy levels, opening the door to above-inflation rent growth

• The office sector has continued to recover; Cushman & Wakefield notes that the four-quarter rolling absorption total improved for the fifth quarter in a row, up 49% year-over-year

“The recovery isn’t coming-it’s here,” said Sjulsen. “While markets obsess over regulatory clarity for stablecoins, we’re seeing occupancy rates climb and rent growth return across our portfolio.”

The Strategic Rotation Case

The current environment presents textbook conditions for rotating from overheated growth assets toward undervalued real assets with policy support.

The Trade:

• Crypto benefits from regulatory clarity but trades at extreme valuations

• Growth sectors face tariff headwinds and margin compression

• Commercial real estate combines attractive entry points with enhanced tax benefits

• Interest rate increases have already been reflected in current CRE pricing

“This isn’t about timing the market-it’s about recognizing value,” said Clinton. “When you can buy stabilized real estate at 25% discounts with permanent tax advantages while Bitcoin trades at all-time highs, the allocation decision makes itself.”

The Bottom Line

Real estate organizations have a generational opportunity to capitalize on legislative support, market-bottom valuations, and institutional capital deployment. The combination of OBBBA’s permanent tax advantages, sector fundamentals recovery, and pricing dislocations suggests commercial real estate is positioned for outperformance.

“The next cycle always begins when everyone’s looking the other way,” concluded Sjulsen. “While the market debates crypto regulation and tariff impacts, we’re building positions in cash-flowing assets with permanent tax advantages. That’s how generational wealth gets built.”

As the investment landscape adapts to new legislative realities, the winners will be those who can navigate beyond headline volatility to identify fundamental value in real assets. Commercial real estate-with enhanced tax treatment, attractive valuations, and recovering fundamentals-presents a compelling case for strategic portfolio allocation in today’s environment.

Free Educational Event Reveals How to Protect Retirement Assets from the Six Looming Financial Storms

MENLO PARK, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2025 / In the face of record inflation, rising taxes, and market volatility, today’s retirees face a perfect storm of financial threats. To help successful retirees take back control of their financial future, nationally recognized educator and strategist David Maigret, Founder and CEO of Thriving Asset Management, will present a free educational briefing titled “Retire On Your Terms.”

Today’s retirees and pre-retirees must successfully navigate today’s unprecedented financial challenges to thrive in retirement.

This timely and exclusive event will equip retirees and pre-retirees with the critical knowledge to cut unnecessary taxes, increase income, and safeguard their wealth against what Maigret calls “The Six Financial Storms.”

“Most retirees today face threats their parents never had to consider,” says Maigret, whose wealth preservation strategies have helped countless families avoid the devastating tax consequences that claim nearly half of many retirement assets. “Historic government overspending, record inflation, skyrocketing healthcare costs, and hidden tax bombs in retirement accounts are creating a perfect storm that could devastate unprepared retirees.”

The Hidden Dangers Threatening Today’s Retirees

Maigret’s presentation will expose little-known risks that many financial advisors never discuss, including

• The IRA “Ticking Tax Bomb” – How retirement accounts can be subject to both income and estate taxes, sometimes leaving families with less than 50% of the original value

• Four Engines of Inflation – Why the reported inflation rate severely understates the real cost increases retirees face

• The 80% Retirement Myth – Why retirees actually need MORE income in retirement, not less

• Surprise Estate Taxes – How even “smaller” estates can face devastating tax consequences

“I’ve seen too many families lose hundreds of thousands – even millions – in unnecessary taxes simply because they weren’t aware of the options available to them,” Maigret explains.

Proven Strategies from Real Success Stories

Attendees will learn about the same wealth preservation techniques used by families like “Joe,” a 79-year-old seminar attendee who increased his income, created substantial tax deductions, and transformed his legacy plan.

The seminar will reveal Maigret’s “Five Wealth Principles” that can help retirees preserve, protect and pass on their wealth.

Since 1989 I have been taking care of clients’ investable assets. Combining history with math in what I call mean reversion I can assure you that I will take care of you and your family better than anyone,…other than you.

To reserve your seat for this exclusive educational event, call (650) 643-1460 or email: dmaigret@thrivingam.com.

Attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Maigret’s wealth action guide.

Important Note: This is an educational seminar only. No products or services will be offered for sale during the presentation.

About the Presenter: David Maigret

David Maigret is a recognized educator, speaker and investment strategist. As Founder and CEO of Thriving Asset Management, Maigret and his team have been helping affluent retirees – business owners, executives, professionals and widows – upgrade both their lifestyle and legacy through advanced investment and planning strategies since 1989.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2025 / The Florida Legislature has approved $20 million in new funding for the Florida Tutoring Advantage grant, a statewide initiative aimed at boosting student achievement in reading and math for K-5 public school students.

Backed by House Bill 1361 (2024) and administered by the University of Florida’s Lastinger Center for Learning, the Florida Tutoring Advantage grant empowers districts and schools to provide high-impact tutoring through state-approved providers. HeyTutor, one of the only vendors offering dedicated in-person tutoring statewide, is prepared to help schools deliver effective, research-based instruction where it matters most – directly in the classroom.

“Research consistently shows that in-person tutoring leads to stronger engagement and better outcomes for young learners,” said Jennifer Sheffield, CEO at HeyTutor. “With this historic funding, we encourage districts to prioritize in-person support for K-5 learners that meets students where they are and keeps them connected to caring, qualified tutors.”

HeyTutor is actively partnering with schools to build flexible, scalable tutoring programs that prioritize human connection, academic rigor, and measurable growth.

ROSH HA‘AYIN, IL / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2025 / Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (“Brenmiller”, “Brenmiller Energy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:BNRG), a leading global provider of Thermal Energy Storage (“TES”) solutions for industrial and utility customers, today issued a letter from its Chief Executive Officer, Avi Brenmiller.

To our shareholders, partners, and supporters:

On July 28, 2025, we announced a transformative equity financing agreement with Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha”)-our largest shareholder and one of our most trusted partners.

We believe that the new capital that can become available under the terms of the agreement will enable us to scale and grow faster.

The main benefit for the Company is not just cash, it is focus, attention and balance. Until now, a significant portion of the Company’s efforts have been devoted to securing the capital needed to sustain operations and growth. With the latest financing in place, the Company is now well-capitalized and positioned to shift its focus toward executing on its core strategy-delivering long-term value through product innovation, commercial deployment and scaling operations. This funding milestone marks a turning point, enabling the team to prioritize operational excellence and strategic growth initiatives.

Today, we believe we have the tools to move faster and stronger than ever before and that the Alpha agreement gives us the fuel to keep going-and to go further. We believe that the funding that can reach up to $25 million in stages, reflects a commercial ramp. As a first stage we have received the first $1.2 million in funding. The second stage includes $3.8 million equity financing subject to obtaining shareholder approval and other closing conditions. Alpha has additional investment rights for up to another $20 million through follow-on tranches. If we meet certain conditions, Alpha has agreed to provide us with $15 million over a two-year period beginning after the second stage closes. The structure supports the Company’s growth plans.

What we are building is already taking shape across three continents. In Israel, our bGen™ ZERO system is being deployed at the Tempo Beverages manufacturing plant-producer of Pepsi, Heineken, and other global brands-in a project that will replace fossil-fueled boilers and demonstrate that clean heat can meet the demands of heavy industry. The upcoming launch of the Tempo facility marks a major shift for us, transforming Brenmiller from a bespoke systems maker into a scalable TES solution. In Spain, the European Hydrogen Bank, has granted €25 million funding to SolWinHy Cádiz S.L. in Spain. From the total project, we estimate that our supply of the bGen TES system for the project to be approximately €7 million. There, our system would enable off-grid green methanol production with real-time heat balancing-entirely without fossil fuels.

And in Europe, our projects are estimated to receive approximately €11 million. The latest: Brenmiller Europe S.L. (“Brenmiller Europe”), the Company’s Spain-based joint venture, is expected to supply distributed bGen™️ TES systems with a total electrical charge capacity of approximately 5 MWe, representing approximately €4 million in revenues to Brenmiller Europe for the equipment sale. The project is expected to avoid 1.45 million tons of CO₂, and set the stage for repeatable decarbonization of industrial heat.

Meanwhile, we have signed a strategic non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with ENASCO Ltd., a specialist in Small Modular Reactor (“SMR”) development. Together, we are developing a hybrid SMR + bGen platform designed for artificial intelligence (“AI”) data centers, hydrogen production, and high-resilience baseload power. Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding: by 2030, we aim to complete $50 million in commercial deployments; and by 2035, we plan to have 15-20 hybrid nuclear-TES projects in development, with a potential value of up to $650 million.

Europe is not waiting. Policy is in motion. Funding is real. And we are aligned with all of it. We believe that we are qualified to apply for funding through the EU Innovation Fund, as part of their €1 billion auction expected to open in December 2025. And with the pathway to further funding from Alpha, we believe we will have the resources to pursue the opportunities in front of us – aggressively, confidently, and on schedule.

Yes, the journey from zero to 100 takes time. But we are no longer ramping – we are accelerating.

To those who stayed with us through the stillness, thank you. We are excited to show what Brenmiller can do next.

Sincerely,

Avi Brenmiller

SCOTTSDALE, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2025 / Spirits Capital Corporation, a fintech company transforming how spirits barrels are traded, valued, and managed through its creation of the Distilled Barrels Financial Exchange (DBFEX™), announced today the launch of a pioneering proprietary insurance program tailored specifically for the unique needs of distilleries, brands, and barrel owners dealing with aging spirits. This customizable insurance solution stands out as one of its kind in the industry.

DBFEX Insurance Services is designed to address a critical gap in the market for businesses involved in the production, investment and storage of premium spirits. As spirits age, their value while in the barrel can fluctuate due to factors such as market demand, storage conditions, and time. Recognizing this, Spirits Capital aims to provide distilleries, brands and barrel owners with comprehensive coverage that reflects the current value and risk associated with their aging assets.

With a focus on flexibility, the DBFEX™ insurance program allows Spirits Capital to customize the client’s insurance solutions to suit their specific needs. This feature ensures that businesses can adequately protect their assets while aligning coverage with their growth strategies and investment goals.

Spirits Capital has worked diligently to develop this insurance service, engaging with stakeholders in the spirits industry to better understand their challenges and preferences. The goal is to offer a safety net that reassures businesses they can secure their investment in aging spirits without compromising due to excessive costs.

Todd Sanders, Chairman and CEO of Spirits Capital, stated, “By leveraging the size and scalability of the DBFEX™ we are able to offer barrel owners, large and small, a turnkey insurance solution at the most competitive pricing in the industry.”

The launch of DBFEX Insurance Services comes at a crucial time as the spirits market evolves and the demand for high quality, aged products continues to increase. Distilleries, brands, and barrel owners are encouraged to explore the new program and discover how it can enhance their operational security and financial planning.
