TCS Blockchain Now Truckin’ on Kraken; $TCS Token Lists for Trading

Digital asset freight settlement at Kraken, via token listing, delivers savings and opportunity

CASPER, Wyo., Sept. 9, 2026TCS Blockchain, a Wyoming trade finance provider serving the transportation industry, today announced its digital asset, TCS Token ($TCS), is listed on Kraken with a USD spot trading pair. The listing provides $TCS liquidity on Kraken to support freight invoice settlement, and eligible Kraken clients can trade and engage $TCS.

Transportation Industry experts place annual freight spend volume at $2.58 trillion, 9% of total US GDP. The American Trucking Association reports 72% of freight moves by truck, and 91% of carriers operate 1-10 trucks. Carriers wait 30-180 days to get paid, forcing most to sell invoices to financial intermediaries at substantial capital costs.

TCS and Kraken Drive Value

TCS converged supply chains with blockchains to solve the problem. Transportation companies now exchange freight invoice collection rights for $TCS, which can then be sold for USD at Kraken. According to TCS, Users are funded same-day or next business day, and most save 50-90% on costs. TCS Users move seamlessly from $TCS to USD in a single market, rather than navigating layers of intermediaries and third-party digital assets. The model reduces costs, operational complexity and counterparty risk.

Kraken’s listing of $TCS provides transportation companies with cheaper and faster settlement, and opportunity for Kraken clients to engage with the digital asset driving value and facilitating commercial paper transactions in a legacy industry.

About the $TCS Asset

$TCS is an ERC-20 asset deployed on the Polygon network, with supply capped at fifty-billion. TCS reports nearly all supply has been held in treasury since 2022. After TCS settles with transportation Users, new $TCS supply is released when Users sell on Kraken for USD – similar to how the efforts of miners bring new Bitcoin supply to market.

“TCS saves trucking and transportation companies time and money. And eliminating financial waste in supply chains helps everyone,” advised Todd Ziegler, TCS Blockchain CEO. “TCS is a Main Street digital asset solution, that’s solved the largest B2B payments problem in America. Kraken clients can now be part of this innovation, and engage with the companies that get their goods to grocery and retail store shelves every day.”

About Kraken

Founded as a secure global crypto exchange in 2011, Kraken has evolved into a multi-asset trading platform. From one account, customers trade more than 600 digital assets, thousands of U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, hundreds of tokenized equities, derivatives, including perpetuals, and national currencies. Millions of consumers, professional traders, and institutions rely on Kraken as one of the fastest and most liquid trading platforms.

About TCS Blockchain

TCS Blockchain settled the World’s first freight invoice onchain in 2022, and now offers the cheapest, fastest and best settlement experience in the American transportation Industry. TCS supports truckers, brokers, and at-scale carriers – and benefits consumers and households – by displacing invoice factoring, and mitigating financial waste in supply chains.

AHMEDABAD, Indien, 9.

Die Beteiligung eines Konsortiums aus langjährigen inländischen und internationalen Investoren ist ein deutliches Zeichen des Vertrauens der institutionellen Anleger in die Größe, die operative Leistungsfähigkeit und das langfristige Wachstumspotenzial von AAHL. Die Investition bringt institutionelles Kapital mit langer Laufzeit in das Unternehmen, und zwar zu einem Zeitpunkt, an dem der indische Luftverkehrssektor in eine Phase anhaltenden Passagierwachstums, Kapazitätsausbaus und Infrastrukturinvestitionen eintritt.

Harmoni Raises $10 Million Series A Led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Unveils HAL, AI Built for the Front Lines of Manufacturing

Funding will accelerate product innovation, go-to-market expansion, and the continued advancement of HAL, context-aware manufacturing AI delivered directly to the point of production.

AKRON, Ohio and NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2026Harmoni, the Factory Orchestration platform for manufacturers, today announced that it has raised $10 million in Series A funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners. The company also unveiled HAL, its breakthrough artificial intelligence technology built to bring context-aware intelligence directly to the front lines of manufacturing.

Founded in 2023 by David Caputo and Adam Ellis, Harmoni was created to address a fundamental gap in factory technology. U.S. manufacturers are projected to need as many as 3.8 million additional workers by 2033, with nearly half of those positions at risk of going unfilled, as pressure compounds from rising costs, reshoring initiatives, and increasingly complex production environments.

Traditional automation excels at highly repetitive physical tasks, but much of manufacturing still involves variable work, frequent changeovers, and complex coordination among people, machines, and systems. Despite heavy investment in ERP systems, machine connectivity, and automation, factory-floor execution remains fragmented across disconnected systems, manual processes, and outdated workflows.

Harmoni orchestrates work across the factory floor, turning fragmented systems, information, and workflows into coordinated action. At each workcenter, it gives operators a unified command center including the information and tools to execute work correctly and efficiently, while connecting the people, machines, systems, and processes that drive production.

Designed for rapid implementation, Harmoni deploys in weeks and delivers measurable value: less manual work, stronger adherence to approved engineering processes, and real-time visibility into factory performance. Customer results show Harmoni’s automations add more than 200 hours of productive time per operator per year by eliminating administrative and other non-productive tasks.

Built on three pillars: automation, process control, and observability, Harmoni uses RFID technology and machine-level workflows to automate non-productive work like labor tracking, ERP transactions, document retrieval, quality reporting, and support requests. Its process control layer ensures operators always have the correct documentation – work instructions, machine programs, checksheets, reducing errors and improving quality. Its observability layer integrates ERP, machine, operator, and RFID data into a real-time view of performance and root-cause issues.

HAL builds on this foundation, applying AI to the live operational context Harmoni captures, including information historically scattered across systems, machines, engineering documents, production records, and institutional knowledge. Because Harmoni already understands the active job, part, machine, process, and engineering requirements, that context reaches HAL automatically. Delivered at the point of production, HAL turns it into relevant intelligence, helping teams understand requirements, diagnose issues, identify risks, and decide what to do next.

“Harmoni was founded on the belief that manufacturers don’t need another disconnected application – they need a system that helps work happen correctly, efficiently, and in real time,” said David Caputo, Co-Founder of Harmoni. “By bringing automation, process control, and observability together at the workcenter, we help manufacturers eliminate wasted time, prevent errors, and gain control over what is happening across the factory floor. This investment will allow us to accelerate the platform’s development, expand our team, and bring Factory Orchestration to more manufacturers.”

“Harmoni is building a new operational layer for manufacturing that connects people, machines, and systems across the factory floor,” said Kent Bennett, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “Customers are seeing meaningful value from the company’s Factory Orchestration platform today, while the operational context Harmoni creates provides a powerful foundation for delivering AI directly into production workflows. We are excited to partner with David, Adam, and the Harmoni team as they build an important new category in manufacturing technology.”

About Harmoni

Harmoni is a Factory Orchestration System that helps manufacturers eliminate wasted time, prevent errors, and gain real-time visibility into operations. Built on the pillars of automation, process control, and observability, Harmoni connects operators, machines, engineering systems, and enterprise software through a unified platform that improves productivity, quality, and operational efficiency. Harmoni is also the developer of HAL, context-aware manufacturing AI delivered from the executive office to the front lines of production. Based in Akron, Ohio, and New York, New York, Harmoni helps manufacturers modernize shop-floor execution and build more connected, intelligent factories. For more information, visit www.harmoni.io.

AHMEDABAD, Inde, 9 septembre 2026 — Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), filiale d’Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL) et l’un des plus grands exploitants aéroportuaires privés d’Inde, a conclu des accords fermes en vue de lever 98,25 milliards de roupies (environ 1 milliard de dollars) de capitaux propres lors d’une émission primaire auprès d’un consortium d’investisseurs comprenant les fonds gérés par Alpha Wave Global, Premji Invest, Temasek et des fonds gérés par BlackRock. Cette opération valorise AAHL à environ 18 milliards de dollars US avant levée de fonds et constitue l’un des plus importants investissements en capital réalisés par des institutions financières dans le secteur des infrastructures aéroportuaires en Inde.

La participation d’un consortium d’investisseurs nationaux et internationaux à long terme témoigne d’une reconnaissance institutionnelle significative de la taille, des capacités opérationnelles et du potentiel de croissance à long terme d’AAHL. Cet investissement permet d’attirer des capitaux institutionnels à long terme dans l’entreprise, à un moment où le secteur aérien indien entre dans une phase durable de croissance du nombre de passagers, d’augmentation des capacités et d’investissements dans les infrastructures.

Dans leur ensemble, ces opérations témoignent de la capacité du portefeuille Adani à continuer d’accéder à d’importantes sources de capitaux institutionnels à long terme, tant nationaux qu’internationaux.

Grâce au soutien de ces partenaires, nous continuerons à investir en prévision de cette croissance, en développant notre infrastructure, nos projets urbains et nos activités non aéronautiques afin de créer l’une des principales plateformes aéroportuaires intégrées au monde. »

« Nous continuerons à renforcer les capacités d’AAHL afin d’en faire la plus grande plateforme aéroportuaire au monde », a déclaré M. Arun Bansal, PDG d’ , au sujet d’Adani Airport Holdings Limited. « Cette ambition est portée par les opportunités de croissance exponentielle qui s’offrent à l’ensemble de l’Inde, par le pouvoir d’achat croissant des consommateurs indiens et par la dynamique de nos projets urbains, véritables catalyseurs économiques dans les grands centres urbains du pays. Nous sommes profondément reconnaissants envers nos partenaires pour la confiance qu’ils nous accordent et nous nous réjouissons de poursuivre ensemble dans cette voie afin de bâtir pour l’Inde une plateforme aéroportuaire véritablement de classe mondiale. »

43North Foundation Sets $5 Billion Economic Impact Goal for Buffalo’s Next Decade

BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 9, 2026 The 43North Foundation today announced an ambitious new goal: turning its $100 million investment into $5 billion in economic impact in Buffalo. That impact will come through the creation of cutting-edge startups with local roots, established businesses making major investments, and outside companies choosing Buffalo. The Foundation was created from the proceeds of 43North, a $5 million annual accelerator program, which has spent twelve years investing in high-growth startups in return for their pledge to operate in Buffalo.

Leading the Foundation’s ambitious efforts will be Colleen E. Heidinger, currently President of 43North, who becomes the Foundation’s next CEO effective January 1, 2027, succeeding Sarah Tanbakuchi-Ripa, who is fulfilling her two-year commitment to the role. The appointment follows a national search led by the Foundation’s Board. Both leaders will remain in their current roles through year-end to ensure a smooth transition.

“This work belongs to hundreds of founders, investors, and partners across this community who believed Buffalo could compete, long before the results proved them right,” said Bill Maggio, Chairman of the 43North Foundation Board. “Sarah built the strategy that made this handoff possible. Colleen built the relationships that will carry it forward.”

The Foundation invests across four strategies: Radial Ventures, a venture studio with 10 companies in its commercialization pipeline; TechBuffalo, which has enrolled more than 10,000 people in talent pathways; the Ambassador Network, with more than 150 business leaders engaged; and Series B, which has drawn more than 100,000 website visitors since its January launch.

Since 2014, 43North has supported nearly 80 startups, created more than 3,000 jobs, and generated $1 billion in additional investment in its portfolio companies, including a founder base that is 46% people of color and 26% women. The portfolio’s flagship success, ACV Auctions, a 2015 43North winner, is Buffalo’s first tech unicorn, employing more than 600 people locally after a 2021 IPO valued at $3.8 billion.

43North launched as the world’s largest startup competition, built to jump-start an entrepreneurial ecosystem in a city that had spent decades being counted out, and that never stopped believing it had more to give. That success created the 43North Foundation, funded not by a single donor but by returns from 43North’s own portfolio. A decade later, 43North hasn’t just met its original goal, it has exceeded it, and the Foundation’s model is increasingly viewed as a blueprint other cities can study.

“I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built here over the past decade, real companies, real jobs, real proof that Buffalo can compete nationally,” said Heidinger. “We’re aiming high: $5 billion in economic impact over the next ten years.”

Heidinger has been with 43North for more than a decade, serving as its President for nearly seven years. Under her leadership, the organization has become a defining part of Buffalo’s innovation economy, and a model that’s earned national recognition. Most recently, she was admitted to the prestigious Kauffman Fellows Program, a two-year program designed to accelerate innovator success through peer learning, and a structured curriculum.

Born and raised in Buffalo’s First Ward, she studied entrepreneurship at Babson College, began her career in management consulting, advising nonprofit clients on entrepreneurial strategy, then spent a decade in New York City and Los Angeles in film and television before returning home to Buffalo, and joining 43North.

She remains deeply engaged in the community: she serves on several philanthropic boards, helps shape entrepreneurial curricula at the high school and collegiate level, and restored a historic 1906 building in Buffalo’s historic Larkinville neighborhood, alongside her father. An entrepreneur at heart, she also launched her own yoga studio in that same Larkinville building, putting into practice the instinct she champions in every founder 43North backs.

43North’s own competition holds its final Finals on October 8, 2026, capping 12 years of programming. The Foundation’s work continues beyond that milestone as a permanent investment in Buffalo’s innovation economy.

About the 43North Foundation: The 43North Foundation is a $100 million, 10-year commitment to building Buffalo’s innovation economy, funded by the success of 43North’s portfolio companies, including ACV Auctions. The Foundation operates through four pillars: Radial Ventures, a venture studio building new high-growth companies; TechBuffalo, a talent development engine; Corporate Connectivity, which engages the region’s established business community; and Series B, the community’s storytelling platform for tech, innovation, and entrepreneurship, funded by the Foundation. Learn more at 43northfoundation.org.

About 43North: 43North is an accelerator program that hosts an annual startup competition, investing $5 million per year to attract and cultivate high-growth companies in Buffalo, New York. 43North portfolio companies also receive free incubator space in Buffalo for one year, guidance from mentors in related fields, and access to other business incentive programs. 43North operates through the support of Governor Kathy Hochul, the M&T Bank Foundation and several other sponsors. Funding for 43North program activities has been provided in part by Empire State Development. For more information about 43North, visit www.43north.org.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 9, 2026 — SuperX AI Technology Limited (NASDAQ: SUPX) (“SuperX” or the “Company”), a Nasdaq-listed full-stack AI infrastructure solutions provider, today announced an update on the progress of its share repurchase program, demonstrating the Board’s and management’s confidence in the Company’s intrinsic value and long-term growth prospects.

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program (the “2026 Repurchase Program”) as of August 6, 2026, under which the Company may repurchase up to US$20 million of its ordinary shares over the next twelve months. On September 8, 2026, the Company repurchased 119,360 ordinary shares at an average net repurchase price of US$7.7691 per ordinary share.

The Board and management believe the Company’s current market valuation does not fully capture its intrinsic value and long-term growth potential. Share repurchases serve as a key capital allocation tool to enhance shareholder value while preserving sufficient financial flexibility and sustaining strategic investments in core business expansion. The continued execution of repurchases demonstrates the Company’s confidence in its competitive strengths and long-term growth prospects.

The repurchases have been made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, and/or through other legally permissible means, in compliance with applicable securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.
