New York – September 25, 2026 -- Paxos Labs has launched PAXGy, a gold-backed token that accrues value in gold terms by routing reserves into the multi-billion dollar institutional gold leasing market that has set bullion lending rates for four decades.

PAXGy deploys PAXG reserves into a market previously closed to retail holders

Holders deposit PAXG or swap accepted stablecoins for PAXGy, which is redeemable for PAXG at any time. The underlying gold is deployed to a network of vetted institutional borrowers -- refiners, jewelry manufacturers, miners and bullion banks -- through the same leasing market that has priced bullion lease rates for decades. As reserves are deployed, value accrues to the PAXGy exchange rate, meaning each token becomes worth more PAXG over time and holders can exit with more notional ounces than their principal.

Seoul – September 25, 2026 -- Hyosung Heavy Industries is scaling its proprietary voltage-source converter (VSC) HVDC technology to 2 gigawatts, building on a commercial base of 200 MW systems, as it targets a position among the world's top three power solutions providers within five years.

Hyosung began HVDC development in 2012 with a 20 MW demonstration project in Jeju

The company subsequently developed 200 MW converter valves and control systems and deployed them on live grids, building operational experience that it is now applying to large-scale 2 GW systems. Since 2012, Hyosung has pursued in-house development of core HVDC components rather than licensing external technology, part of a South Korean government push to localize converter valves, control systems and converter transformers.

New York – September 25, 2026 -- AutonomyAI has launched Discover Mode, completing its Autonomous Product Delivery system that turns a product manager's question into a review-ready pull request without engineering handoffs. More than 170 product teams, including Datadog, Nielsen, SolarWinds and SolarEdge, already run on the platform.

Discover Mode researches product questions across company data before a single line of code is written

A product manager can ask why signups are dropping or which issue customers report most, and AutonomyAI scans product analytics, support tickets, customer calls and the codebase to return an evidence-backed brief. The system can also flag improvements on its own by monitoring usage patterns, without a prompt from a human.

New York – September 25, 2026 -- Baseline, a loan origination and servicing platform built for private real estate lenders, has integrated Xactus verification solutions directly into its workflow, allowing clients to order, track, and receive credit and flood reports without leaving the platform.

Integration eliminates manual data re-entry across separate verification systems

Private lenders previously had to log into a separate system, re-enter borrower data, and manually pull results back into the loan file to complete verification. Baseline says the new integration removes that step, embedding Xactus verification data directly into its dashboard.
