TOO QUIET TO TRACK: H55 REDEFINES NOISE STANDARDS AT MAJOR U.S. AIRPORT
SION, Switzerland, DENVER and HAMPTONS, N.Y., July 31, 2025 /CNW/ -- H55' s electric aircraft flies so quiet, that during a noise measurement test, the Bristell B23 Energic powered by H55 propulsion system was so quiet that the electric aircraft flew without triggering three of six official noise-monitoring sensors. On 11 July 2025, the B23 Energic flew identical flight paths alongside a comparable piston-engine across the airport's six official noise-monitoring stations: 3 of 6 sensors recorded no aircraft noise—the B23 flew below ambient sound thresholds (60 dB) The remaining sensors registered the B23 Energic at 1/10th of intensity of the noise measured in comparison to the piston aircraft "Electric aviation isn't the future—it's here," said Michael Fronapfel, CEO of Centennial Airport. "The B23 Energic offers noise levels so low, they're almost too quiet to track. This has real-world implications for airport communities. It's a level of performance we've never seen before in general aviation." A Breakthrough You Can't Hear — But Communities Will Appreciate "Across multiple flights, the B23 Energic consistently came in 30 times quieter than similar aircraft during cruise," said Zach Gabehart, Centennial Airport's Noise & Environmental Specialist. "If this keeps up, I might be out of a job." Electric propulsion isn't just fuel-free—it's neighbor-friendly, regulator-approved, and airport-operator- loved. With the B23 Energic, airports and flight schools can now enjoy: Longer training hours—say goodbye to neighbor noise complaints Lower environmental impact—no emissions, no exhaust Quieter skies—better community relations Future-proof compliance—ready for tomorrow's regulations today Certified Technology, Real-World Benefits "This test proves that electric aviation delivers not just environmental benefits, but tangible advantages for the communities around airports," said Martin Larose, CEO of H55. "We're proud to offer a certified propulsion system that helps make aviation more affordable, more sustainable, and more silent." The Hamptons: Experience the Silence Yourself, August 4–10 2025 The B23 Energic is currently making its way to one of the most noise-sensitive regions in the U.S.— the Hamptons. As part of its Across America tour, H55 will host demo flights, technology showcases, and stakeholder briefings in East and West Hampton from August 4–10, inviting the public and the aviation community to witness the future of clean flight.

Canadian business leaders want open banking and the real-time rail immediately, KPMG poll shows Français
Nearly six in 10 business leaders believe that without payments modernization, Canada's competitiveness as a country will continue to erode TORONTO, July 31, 2025 /CNW/ - While recent public discourse around nation-building has focused on major infrastructure mega-projects, modernizing Canada's digital infrastructure is also an emerging priority, with new research showing nearly two-thirds of business leaders want Canada's payments system and open banking fast-tracked to boost productivity and competitiveness. In a recent KPMG in Canada survey of 250 business leaders across Canada, 65 per cent of respondents said the infrastructure underpinning Canada's financial and payments system must be modernized immediately to enable open banking, digital identity and real-time payments. Nearly six in 10 (58 per cent) believe that without payments modernization, Canada's competitiveness will continue to erode. "Canada is in the midst of a trade war, and it must do everything it can to insulate itself from outside economic threats. We have an opportunity to advance our competitive position by modernizing one of our largest industries – financial services. Digital infrastructure advancements like the real-time rail and open banking will foster more competition, enable innovation, promote financial inclusion, and drive more growth and investment in Canada. We must seize this opportunity now, or we will fall behind," says Geoff Rush, Partner and National Industry Leader for financial services at KPMG in Canada. Canada is developing the Real-Time Rail (RTR), a national payment infrastructure that will allow Canadians to send and receive payments in real-time and enable around-the-clock instant payment clearing and settlement between financial institutions in real-time. Canada also plans to implement open banking (or consumer-driven banking), which allows consumers to easily share their financial data with third-party financial services providers such as app-based fintechs, allowing them to control and transport their information and see their entire financial picture across multiple accounts in one dashboard. Both initiatives have faced years of delays but have taken on a renewed sense of urgency as the focus on nation building gathers momentum. The federal government plans to launch a framework for open banking next year after passing initial legislation in 2024, but further legislation is needed for a full rollout. Meanwhile, the real-time rail technical build is scheduled to be completed in July, with a year-long testing phase to follow, according to Payments Canada. Mr. Rush says now is an opportune time to expedite both projects, given the strong push from governments, citizens and business leaders to boost Canadian productivity, competitiveness and economic self-sufficiency. "Our survey shows that 64 per cent of business leaders agree that open banking, digital identity systems and real-time payment rails are not mere upgrades – they are the bedrock of a resilient, competitive, and inclusive economy, so it's imperative for those projects to move forward as quickly as possible," Mr. Rush says. "Without a real-time rail, payments can take days to be processed, exposing organizations to increased credit, liquidity, operational and systemic risks. Without open banking, consumers who want to engage with fintechs are forced to share their financial data through 'screen scraping,' which creates serious privacy concerns and deters them from signing up for the innovative services that fintechs offer. We need to reduce these risks and competitive barriers for Canadian businesses and consumers," Mr. Rush says. KPMG in Canada survey highlights 65 per cent say the infrastructure underpinning Canada's financial and payments system must be modernized immediately to enable open banking (consumer-driven banking), digital identity and real-time payments 58 per cent believe without payments modernization, Canada's competitiveness will continue to deteriorate 64 per cent agree that open banking, digital identity systems and real-time payment rails are not mere upgrades – they are the bedrock of a resilient, competitive, and inclusive economy 58 per cent have seen "a definite improvement" in business-to-business (B2B) banking services from the major banks even though opening banking and payments modernization have not yet been implemented Payment modernization programs already underway Despite the absence of opening banking and real-time rail in Canada, nearly six in 10 (58 per cent) respondents said they have seen "a definite improvement" in business-to-business (B2B) banking services from the major banks, according to the KPMG survey. Edwin Isted, Executive Director and Payments Lead in KPMG in Canada's Financial Services Solutions practice says those improvements are likely the result of Canadian financial institutions' efforts to modernize their payments programs. "In absence of the real-time rail, financial services organizations are already doing their part to modernize Canada's payments ecosystem," notes Mr. Isted. In a separate survey of global financial institutions by KPMG International, nearly all (94 per cent) Canadian respondents said they are either planning or actively engaged in payment modernization programs. "Many financial institutions in Canada are still using outdated legacy technology systems, but our survey clearly shows that they are working to modernize their systems to facilitate faster, more efficient payments that are predictable, transparent and enhance the customer experience," he adds. Mr. Isted says while the high number of financial institutions with payment modernization programs is encouraging, activating the real-time rail will accelerate the progress of those programs significantly. "The real-time rail isn't just about faster payments, it's about enabling more data-rich transactions so organizations have more valuable context about payments. When organizations have a better understanding about why and how a payment was made, the parties involved in the payments, as well as the frequency and history of the payments, they can serve their customers and clients more effectively. Implementing the real-time rail is a win-win for Canadian businesses and consumers," he adds. KPMG International survey highlights 94 percent of Canadian financial institutions are either planning or actively engaged in payment modernization programs Top benefits of modernization cited by respondents include faster transaction processing, improved customer experience and enhanced security. Payments modernization programs are expected to cost between US$10 million and US$25 million About the KPMG in Canada Productivity Survey KPMG in Canada surveyed 250 business leaders in all industry sectors across Canada between May 9 and May 20, 2025, on Sago's premier business panel, using Methodify's online research platform. Thirty-one per cent lead companies with annual gross revenue between $500 million and $1 billion, 25 per cent report revenue between $100 million and $300 million, 22 per cent have revenue between $300 million and $500 million, 12 per cent between $10 million and $100 million, and 10 per cent, over $1 billion. No companies under $10 million in annual revenue were surveyed. Over half (52 per cent) are privately held, 28 per cent are owned by private equity firms, 18 per cent are publicly traded with headquarters in Canada, and 2 per cent are foreign-owned subsidiaries. About the KPMG International Modernizing Payments Survey KPMG International conducted quantitative research about payments modernizations programs in September 2024. 810 financial institutions took part, including 66 in Canada. Financial Institutions spanned four categories with respondents from: established mainstream banks, building societies, challenger banks, wholesale banks and private banks. 60 per cent of respondents reported revenue between US$500 million to US$1 billion; 36 per cent between US$1 billion to US$5 billion; and 3 per cent with more than US$5 billion.

From Trading to Empowerment: HTX Unveils 2025 Mid-Year Performance and Strategic Roadmap
HTX Unveils 2025 Mid-Year Performance and Strategic Roadmap , July 31, 2025 /CNW/ -- HTX, a leading global crypto exchange, recently announced its robust performance for the first half of 2025, demonstrating resilient growth in both user base and trading volume despite macro headwinds and a shifting regulatory environment. To mark the occasion, HTX held a livestreamed strategy session on July 22, hosted by Molly, a leading voice within the HTX DAO ecosystem. The session featured a detailed review of HTX and HTX DAO's achievements in the first half of the year, alongside a preview of key initiatives planned for the second half. From user acquisition and asset expansion to DAO governance upgrades and global compliance, both platforms continue to push the boundaries of user empowerment and ecosystem growth in the crypto space. A Growth Paradigm Backed by Strategic Focus While many crypto exchanges experienced stagnation or even recession in the first half of 2025, HTX defied market gravity with strong double-digit growth: User base surged past 50 million, marking a 14% increase in the past six months Trading volume rose by 17% YoY, with traders increasing by 11% In Q1, HTX stood out as the only Top 10 exchange to post positive trading volume growth, despite broad market weakness Charting the Future with User Empowerment at the Core After a foundational first half, HTX is doubling down on its long-term goal of building a decentralized, fully transparent "People's Exchange," while HTX DAO is entering a new phase centered on community-driven governance. Climbing the compliance curve via on-chain value allocation According to Molly, HTX DAO is actively exploring partnerships with compliant U.S.-based exchanges. While regulatory complexity has slowed progress, the strategic intent remains clear and unwavering. Shifting governance and rewarding rights to the community through token empowerment HTX DAO's second-half priority is token-based empowerment. Beyond the existing voting and token recommendation mechanisms, new initiatives will further decentralize governance and incentivize participation: 1. DAO Treasury System: A share of trading fees will flow into a community-managed treasury, funding ecosystem growth and innovation. 2. On-Chain Point-Based Reward System: Community engagement, such as posting, content sharing, or project referrals, will be recorded on-chain. Contributors will be rewarded via future token airdrops, transforming participation into yield. Molly claimed that these mechanisms represent a pivot handover of platform governance and revenue allocation rights, and they will redefine the user-platform relationship in the Web3 era. "It is just getting started," she added. "More token utility and holder rewards are in the pipeline." A comprehensive product upgrade for an improved experience In today's market, a long-term vision and user-centric products are paramount. HTX is responding with a renewed focus on product innovation to create a more secure and intuitive trading experience. In Q3, HTX brings a full app upgrade across 20+ products, including spot, margin, and futures trading. Users will enjoy enhanced UX, visual refreshes, and seamless order execution. A Fair, Transparent Path for Quality Asset Listings The live stream also addressed the community's questions on token recommendation standards for listing. HTX's listing framework is built around three pillars of strong community demand, a proven team and clear tokenomics, and the long-term commitment to community-building and value creation (e.g., $CFX). "Backed by robust liquidity and an active user base, HTX helps premium projects attract immediate market attention. With the global reach of our advisor Justin Sun, HTX listings often spark industry-wide momentum," said Molly. To protect the integrity of the token recommendation, strict quality thresholds and anti-rigging safeguards are in place. Ultimately, Justin Sun plays an influential advisory role, offering strategic expertise and insights to support HTX's leadership, ensuring fairness and preventing manipulation or bribery. HTX is taking the "bold yet cautious" approach to decentralization. HTX's ultimate goal is to institutionalize a fully decentralized, user-governed exchange model with verifiable on-chain accountability. About HTX Founded in 2013, HTX (formerly Huobi) has evolved from a virtual asset exchange into a comprehensive ecosystem of blockchain businesses that span digital asset trading, financial derivatives, research, investments, incubation, and other businesses. As a world-leading gateway to Web3, HTX harbors global capabilities that enable it to provide users with safe and reliable services. Adhering to the growth strategy of "Global Expansion, Thriving Ecosystem, Wealth Effect, Security & Compliance," HTX is dedicated to providing quality services and values to virtual asset enthusiasts worldwide.
