Xtract One Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results | Web3Wire


TORONTO, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  Xtract One Technologies Inc. (TSX: XTRA) (OTCQX: XTRAF) (FRA: 0PL) (“Xtract One” or the “Company”) a leading technology-driven threat detection and security solution that prioritizes the patron access experience by leveraging AI, today announced fiscal third quarter results for the three months ended April 30, 2025. All information is in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Third Quarter Highlights

Quarterly revenue of $3.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 versus $4.7 million in the prior-year period.Gross margin of 57% for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 versus 58% in the prior-year period.Total contract value of new bookings1 was $4.6 million for the three months ending April 30, 2025 as compared to $9.5 million for the same period last year.Contractual backlog was $15.4 million at the end of the third quarter as compared to $13.8 million in the prior-year period, excluding an additional $21.1 million of agreements pending installation1 versus approximately $12.8 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024.Subsequent to the quarter, the Company announced that its new innovative security platform, Xtract One Gateway, has been certified in Canada and the U.S and is on track to start shipping in July, with a current aggregate order value of approximately $6.7 million across five different customers. The Company has completed numerous demonstrations and trials across the education, healthcare and manufacturing and distribution markets.

“While revenue was lower than anticipated for the quarter due to some delayed deployments, we remain on track for a solid year of performance and continue to have a growing backlog that strengthens our outlook for the future,” stated Peter Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Xtract One. “As recently announced, our Xtract One Gateway will start shipping this July, and we already have $6.7 million of orders in hand. While increasing our expectations for the quarters to come, recent investments in inventory and product rollout reduced our cash level during the period, which was expected. At the same time, we’ve announced several exciting developments including new wins with the Colorado Rockies and an international entertainment giant which, along with other awards, position us well for the year ahead. We remain upbeat about the fourth quarter and look to end fiscal 2025 on a high note.”

VerifiedX Launches Vault Accounts – Setting a New Standard for Bitcoin Security

VerifiedX Launches Vault Accounts – Setting a New Standard for Bitcoin Security



Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. Readers should conduct further research prior to taking any actions. Learn more ›

VerifiedX, the pioneering decentralized Layer 1 blockchain protocol, has officially launched Vault Accounts, a groundbreaking on-chain custody solution that redefines crypto security and user control — particularly for Bitcoin holders.

Unlike traditional custodial wallets or smart contract-based solutions, Vault Accounts are fully native to the VerifiedX network, offering an unmatched suite of features including time-locked transactions, one-click recovery, trustless escrow, and most notably, the ability to tokenize and recall Bitcoin (vBTC) with no intermediaries.


“For the first time in blockchain history, users have a secure, decentralized method to store, manage, and recover Bitcoin with complete on-chain logic — no bridges, no third-party custody, and no smart contracts required,” said a VerifiedX core contributor.

A Blockchain-First for Bitcoin Control

At the heart of Vault Accounts lies a bold innovation: programmable Bitcoin storage with built-in recovery logic. Users can mint vBTC (Verified Bitcoin), transfer it to their Vault, and apply advanced features like:

Time-locking: Delay the settlement of transactions for 24+ hours, giving senders time to reverse errors or disputes.Transaction Callback: If an error or breach occurs, the user can instantly cancel pending transfers within the time-lock window.One-Click Recovery: All funds and assets — including BTC and VFX — can be routed to a pre-defined recovery address, created during account setup, without exposing private keys.

This system creates a trustless escrow and programmable inheritance framework never before possible with Bitcoin.

Elimination of Hardware Wallet Dependency

By leveraging the VerifiedX on-chain architecture, Vault Accounts eliminate the need for third-party hardware devices or multisig solutions. All encryption, backups, and asset logic exist entirely on-chain, reducing attack surfaces and shifting control back to the user.

Upon creation, Vaults require only:

A secure password (never stored on-chain) A backup of encrypted vault data5 VFX to fund the account (with 4 VFX burned upon activation)

Once activated, users gain access to an environment where Bitcoin and tokenized assets can be securely stored, transferred, and reclaimed with absolute autonomy.

A True Insurance Policy for Crypto Holders

In the event of a breach, mistaken send, or compromised environment, users can execute a one-click recovery, transferring all Vault-held BTC and VFX to their private recovery address. This introduces a failsafe mechanism for Bitcoin that no existing wallet or network currently offers.

“Vault Accounts provide a safety net the industry has lacked for over a decade,” added the VerifiedX contributor. “It’s not just security — it’s peace of mind, and it’s now native to the chain.”

A Solution with Real Utility — Not Just Hype

While many blockchain projects gain traction through viral meme status or influencer marketing, VerifiedX follows a different path — one built on real utility and purpose-driven innovation. The VerifiedX Vault Account system is a testament to what can be accomplished when developers focus on solving real problems for both individuals and institutions.

As the crypto industry increasingly matures, the need for secure, scalable, and user-friendly tools becomes critical — especially for Bitcoin holders. VerifiedX delivers a functional Bitcoin sidechain that doesn’t rely on hype but instead offers advanced features that simplify custody, reduce risk, and bring everyday usability to BTC.

Whether you’re a long-term HODLer, an active trader, or an enterprise looking for programmable Bitcoin solutions, Vault Accounts represent the next step in responsible digital asset management.

About VerifiedX

VerifiedX is a sovereign, Layer 1 blockchain protocol built from the ground up to empower self-custody, asset tokenization, and decentralized commerce. With its flagship Switchblade Wallet and novel native features like Vault Accounts, VerifiedX delivers tools that place full asset control in the hands of the user — not third parties.

The network operates independently, with no reliance on EVM architecture or legacy blockchain models, and integrates Bitcoin as a core asset.

Vault Accounts are now live and accessible through the VerifiedX Switchblade Wallet.

Amazon to Spend $10 Billion on North Carolina Data Centers for AI Expansion – Decrypt

Amazon to Spend  Billion on North Carolina Data Centers for AI Expansion – Decrypt



In brief

Amazon is investing $10 billion in North Carolina to build data centers supporting AI infrastructure, creating at least 500 high-skilled jobs.
The company is also reportedly developing humanoid robots for delivery tasks, testing them in a new “humanoid park” at its San Francisco office.
An expert told Decrypt the scale of Amazon’s investment highlights how rising infrastructure costs risk putting AI innovation solely in the hands of Big Tech.

Amazon announced on Wednesday that it is committing $10 billion to build new data centers in North Carolina as part of its effort to expand artificial intelligence and cloud computing infrastructure.

The investment is expected to anchor new compute-intensive workloads and help scale Amazon’s capacity to support businesses building with AI, the company said in a statement.

“Amazon’s investment is among the largest in state history and will bring hundreds of good-paying jobs and an economic boost to Richmond County,” North Carolina Governor Josh Stein said.

The $10 billion investment is part of Amazon’s push to compete with other tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Meta in building the infrastructure needed to support large-scale AI models.

The company said the funds “will support the future of AI from AWS data centers in the Tar Heel State,” creating at least 500 high-skilled jobs in the process.

As part of the new buildout, Amazon will fund technician training programs at community colleges, STEM education in K-12 schools, and career pathways in fiber broadband infrastructure. 

It also launched a $150,000 Richmond County Community Fund to support local projects in workforce development, sustainability, and public health.

“The expansion of AI infrastructure is positive news for the industry, but it highlights a key problem of this industry: cost,” Leo Fan, co-founder of blockchain-based AI infrastructure firm Cysic, told Decrypt

“An investment of $10 billion demonstrates the high cost of building, expanding, and maintaining AI infrastructure,” Fan said. “This prices out smaller-scale developers or companies that may not have the funds to access the infrastructure and hardware needed to provide the necessary computing power, disincentivising innovation.”

Fan said the investment brings economic benefits but warned it could lead to “the stronger concentration of all innovative AI work in the hands of Big Tech,” which he believes could stall broader innovation.

Amazon Builds ‘Humanoid Park’

The company is developing AI software for humanoid robots that could eventually handle delivery tasks, according to a report by The Information, citing an unnamed source. 

Amazon has reportedly built a “humanoid park,” an indoor obstacle course inside one of its San Francisco offices, where the robots will be tested. 

While the company hasn’t commented publicly, Amazon allegedly plans to use third-party hardware during early trials.

“Amazon’s move validates what the crypto-AI space has been building towards: permissionless intelligence backed by powerful infrastructure,” Abhay, founder and CEO of DappLooker AI told Decrypt.

Amazon’s AI ambitions have also extended into media, with the company finalizing a multi-year licensing deal last Thursday with The New York Times to bring its journalism, recipes, and sports content to Alexa and its proprietary AI models.

SPEC Resumes Global Collaboration with Companies on U.S. BIS Entity List | Web3Wire

SPEC Resumes Global Collaboration with Companies on U.S. BIS Entity List | Web3Wire


GAINESVILLE, Va., June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Standard Performance Evaluation Corp. (SPEC), the trusted leader in computing benchmarks, announced today that SPEC International Standards Group (ISG) successfully advocated that the United States clarify export policies to allow companies on the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Entity List to participate in creating standards. SPEC ISG invites the return of member companies excluded from collaborating due to policy reasons, bringing together the strength of industry, academia, and research from all over the world to cooperate on future computing energy efficiency standards.

A few years ago, in order to ensure the safe application of 5G technology, the US government stipulated that US agencies should not cooperate with companies on the BIS Entity List. This ban was never intended to restrict the development of global standards. However, due to the overly strict definition of the term “standard” in the original exemption clause of BIS, the SPEC SERT suite was classified as a restricted technology, which prevented SPEC (an international standards organization with 12 Chinese member companies) from continuing to develop standards with its members on the Entity List.

Harmonized standards are best suited to consistent design and regulatory requirements, resulting in significant cost reduction for manufacturers to meet additional benchmark requirements worldwide.

SPEC President David Reiner said: “Restricting companies on the Entity List from participating in the development of energy efficiency benchmarks risks dividing the global standards process, negating the primary goal of standardization. Through years of hard work, in collaboration with other international organizations, we are pleased to have successfully promoted changes to U.S. policies to remove the unintended restrictions on the development of international standardized benchmarks.”

SPEC successfully advocated changes to U.S. rules

In 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s BIS changed its rules to allow U.S. companies to work in standards organizations to ensure U.S. proposals take full account of international standards that underlie product development and interoperability. While this was an important milestone, the change did not allow SPEC to invite Entity List businesses that were among its former members to re-join, nor to invite other entities on the Entity List to join. In response, SPEC took a series of actions to advocate for the revision of relevant U.S. laws and to promote international technology exchanges and innovation. As part of these efforts, SPEC created the International Standards Group (ISG), specifically designed to comply with the updated BIS requirements and provide a clear separation between SPEC’s international standards work and other SPEC projects.

As a result of SPEC’s successful efforts, BIS improved regulations in late 2022. Under the final regulations, organizations on the BIS Entity List are no longer restricted from licensing, obtaining updates, or participating in the development of the SPEC SERT Suite within the SPEC ISG. These standards development activities related to the implementation, promulgation, or maintenance of the ISO/IEC 21836:2020 standard qualify for the BIS updated standards-related activities exemption. As a result, BIS listed entities are now able to obtain SPEC SERT Suite licenses, updates, and membership status in the SPEC ISG Server Efficiency Committee.

The return of excluded members is critical because it will enable SPEC to continue to promote effective global standardized benchmarks and apply them to government energy efficiency regulations. The successful adoption of SPEC SERT suites by government regulations such as China National Institute of Standardization, EU Lot9 Ecodesign, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the U.S. EPA Energy Star is critical to SPEC’s efforts to promote sustainable technology development around the world. For example, computer servers that are ENERGY STAR certified are, on average, about 38% more energy efficient than standard servers. This means that if all computer servers sold in the United States were ENERGY STAR certified, end users would save more than $4 billion per year.

The next-generation energy efficiency rating tool is currently under development by the SPEC ISG Server Committee, which includes representatives from Ampere, AMD, Dell, HPE, IBM, Intel, IEIT, Microsoft, Nvidia, and the University of Würzburg. The SERT 3 Suite utilizes the SPECpower Committee’s innovative modular architecture, allowing streamlined integration of the latest versions of the Chauffeur benchmark harness and the PTDaemon Interface, which are also utilized by other SPEC benchmarks. This modular design reduces the time required for developing future workloads, adding new architectures, and supporting new power analyzers and temperature sensors.

Klaus-Dieter Lange, Chair of SPEC ISG, said: “We are pleased that SPEC was able to successfully work with the U.S. Department of Commerce to find a solution to this critical issue. We welcome the world’s innovative companies to join in the development of the next-generation SPEC SERT Suite, which will enable governments and businesses to more effectively achieve sustainable development and carbon emission reduction goals.”

About SPECSPEC is a non-profit organization that establishes, maintains and endorses standardized benchmarks and tools to evaluate performance for the newest generation of computing systems. Its membership comprises more than 120 leading computer hardware and software vendors, educational institutions, research organizations and government agencies worldwide.

‘Flappy Bird’ Is Making a Crypto Gaming Push After All – Decrypt

‘Flappy Bird’ Is Making a Crypto Gaming Push After All – Decrypt



In brief

Flappy Bird will have a Web3 connection, despite closing its Telegram game this spring.
The Flappy Bird Foundation announced plans for competitive gameplay, rewards, and an on-chain IP protocol.
No details were provided about the new crypto game launch or token plans.

Viral mobile game Flappy Bird still has plans ahead in the crypto world, according to a blog post from the Flappy Bird Foundation, the entity that acquired the smash mobile game’s trademark and brought it back via Telegram last year

The game’s relaunch on Telegram came with a play-to-earn mining campaign for an eventual FLAP token on The Open Network (TON). However, the future of those plans became uncertain when its Telegram mining phase ended with no token airdrop this spring, and the game’s Android relaunch in April came without a crypto connection

Now though, the Flappy Bird Foundation says that Flappy Bird will again “take flight in Web3.” 

“Flappy Bird Foundation will continue its mandate to explore and innovate in the world of Web3 IP and gaming,” the Foundation wrote.

“Our ultimate vision is to build an ecosystem housing the best parts of the traditional gaming space, IP licensing, and all the benefits of Web3 to create a global Flappy Bird brand for the community of fans and players.” 

For Flappy Bird, that means a new Web3 version of the game with competitive gameplay, while also letting players earn rewards—though no specific mention of a token is made in the latest announcement. A representative for the Flappy Bird Foundation did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comment.

Following the announcement, the official X account of Base—Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network—replied with a screenshot of the “Web3 IP protocol launches, bringing the brand on-chain” bit from the game’s roadmap, complete with emoji eyes. Flappy Bird then shared that X post with its Telegram community, perhaps signaling collaborative plans ahead… or at least stoking speculation from curious fans.

The Foundation also mentions the launch of an IP protocol, bringing Flappy Bird assets on-chain, but specifics on which blockchain or assets were not provided.



The game, which asks users to navigate a flying bird through a series of scrolling pipes or tubes, first launched and went viral in early 2014. Soon after, the game’s creator Dong Nguyen abruptly pulled the game from app stores, expressing guilt over its addictive hold on players.

When it returned last year, Nguyen notably broke a seven-year X hiatus to condemn the game’s crypto launch.

Others were critical of the game’s connection to blockchain too, leading the Flappy Bird Foundation and its subsidiary Flappy Bird Publishing to make very clear that its recent Epic Games Store for Android launch would not have any crypto connections. 

“The Flappy Bird app available on Epic Games Store will never have any Web3 elements, and is supported solely by ads and in-app purchases,” a statement about the game’s launch read. 

And while the game will explore Web3 crossovers, fans who do not wish to use the blockchain components do not need to.

“We also acknowledge that there are many Flappy Bird fans new and O.G. that just want to flap on without engaging in Web3. We hear you,” the post reads. “If you prefer not to engage with Web3 features, Flappy Bird Publishing, the foundation’s licensee and Web2 gaming publisher, will always provide you with traditional Web2 games and experiences.”

A timeline for Flappy Bird’s new Web3 initiatives was not provided.

Czech Government Faces No-Confidence Vote Over $45M Bitcoin Scandal – Decrypt

Czech Government Faces No-Confidence Vote Over M Bitcoin Scandal – Decrypt



In brief

A Czech justice minister has resigned last week after accepting a $45 million Bitcoin donation from a convicted drug trafficker.
The opposition ANO party has called for a no-confidence vote in the government, citing its failure to vet the funds.
The scandal comes months ahead of national elections, with polls showing ANO leading the ruling coalition.

Czech opposition party ANO on Tuesday called for a no-confidence vote in the government following the resignation of Justice Minister Pavel Blazek, amid controversy over a Bitcoin donation from a convicted drug trafficker.

The donation, reportedly worth millions of dollars in Bitcoin, was made to the Czech government in March and has triggered widespread condemnation. Decrypt has contacted government officials for comment.

Blazek resigned Friday after facing political backlash from an alleged Bitcoin donation from Tomas Jirikovsky, who was convicted in 2017 for running Sheep Marketplace, a defunct dark web platform ostensibly involved in drug trafficking.

The donations in Bitcoin were sold for over $45 million at a public auction.

The minister denied any legal wrongdoing with his acceptance of the donation from Jirikovsky, before stepping down.

“This government should have immediately resigned,” Karel Havlicek, deputy chief of the populist ANO party, said on Czech national television, per a report from Reuters.

A no-confidence vote is a formal process in which parliament members decide whether they still support the government or its leader.

Dark web Bitcoin trail

At a press conference a day before he resigned, Blazek said he had “no way to investigate the matter” and wasn’t “interested so many years after the case,” as quoted in a report from Le Monde.

Blazek was referring to Jirikovsky’s arrest in March 2016 and conviction in 2017. After his release in 2021, Jirikovsky sought to recover 1,500 BTC that had been seized by authorities.

Jirikovsky’s own platform, Sheep Marketplace, was shut down after a 2013 heist tied to two Florida men, during which it lost 5,400 BTC.

Details of the donated Bitcoin’s dark web trail were first revealed in an investigative report from the Czech outlet Deník N.

During his trial, authorities reviewed the origins of the seized Bitcoin. Czech media at the time speculated about ties to other dark web markets, though no formal link to the Nucleus Marketplace—a separate platform shut down in 2016—was ever established.



In a separate event in March, a long-dormant wallet associated with Nucleus transferred roughly $77 million in Bitcoin after nearly a decade of inactivity.

The main wallet still holds about $406 million in Bitcoin, according to data tracked by Arkham Intelligence.

Slim majority at risk

Blazek’s departure comes as the governing Together (SPOLU) coalition, which includes ODS, lags behind the opposition at 19% to ANO’s 32%, according to poll data, with the country’s elections slated for October.

Blazek served as a veteran senior official in the centre-right Civic Democratic Party (ODS) of Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, according to government records.

“A lot of people will probably see Fiala as someone who is at least a suspect of sorts in all of this,” Jiří Pehe, director of New York University Prague, told Czech media platform Radio Prague.

“They will not believe that he, as a close friend and associate of Blažek, didn’t know about the whole affair,” Pehe added.

House Democrats Claim SEC Is Denying Them Key Info on Crypto Bill – Decrypt

House Democrats Claim SEC Is Denying Them Key Info on Crypto Bill – Decrypt



In brief

Democratic House staffers said Tuesday they are being denied standard analysis of a crypto market structure bill by the SEC.
The SEC gave this crucial analysis to Republicans, but refused to hand it over to Democrats, they say.
Democrats are growing concerned the bill, dubbed the CLARITY Act, could have major ramifications beyond crypto.

House Democrat staffers unloaded on the SEC Tuesday, accusing the agency of playing politics and defying precedent by denying them crucial information about the potential impact of a newly introduced crypto market structure bill. 

The SEC routinely provides technical assistance, dubbed “TA,” to lawmakers when pending legislation could impact the agency’s functioning. This analysis, typically provided by apolitical SEC experts to members of both parties, helps lawmakers understand, at a granular level, the effect such bills could have on the agency and financial markets.

Democratic staffers on the House Financial Services Committee claim that in recent weeks, the SEC has deprived them of such written analysis pertaining to a new crypto-focused bill—while, in private, providing it to Republicans.

Multiple Democratic House staffers told reporters Tuesday they were personally aware that their Republican counterparts received detailed, written technical assistance from the SEC pertaining to the CLARITY Act, a bill that would create a framework for regulating the crypto industry in the United States and rewrite key portions of America’s foundational securities laws.



When Democratic staffers requested this same written analysis from the SEC, they say they were rebuffed, with agency officials calling the documents privileged.

In response, an SEC spokesperson told Decrypt that the agency “provides technical assistance to any Member of Congress who seeks it, including on these crypto-related bills.” The spokesperson did not immediately respond when asked to comment on the specific claims made by House Democrats that they requested written technical assistance on the CLARITY Act and were denied it.

“It’s a stark departure from how the agency has ever worked with respect to written technical assistance,” one Democratic staffer said of the SEC’s purported actions. “This is supposed to be completely apolitical.”

Democrats are particularly concerned about the perceived lack of cooperation from the SEC, given the massive impact the CLARITY Act would have in reshaping the agency’s role in regulating financial markets, and the speed with which Republicans are aiming to push the bill through the House. The CLARITY Act is set to be marked up in committee a week from today, on June 10. 

A Republican spokesperson on the House Financial Services Committee also did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comment on this story.

Democratic staffers further claim that on a call Thursday with SEC staff, their questions about knock-on effects the bill could have beyond crypto, on traditional securities markets, went either unanswered or not fully addressed—in a manner one staffer said “made it feel like they were trying to hide the ball.”

In part because of these events, House Financial Services Committee Ranking Member Maxine Waters (D-CA) plans to send a letter SEC Chair Paul Atkins, requesting he send both parties written analysis of the CLARITY Act’s potential impact—as former SEC chair Gary Gensler did when a previous iteration of the bill, dubbed FIT21, was considered by the House last year. 

“Given the significant implications this bill would have on the regulatory landscape for digital assets, investor protection, capital formation, market competition, and the SEC’s ongoing regulatory efforts, a current and thorough analysis from the Commission is needed for informed policymaking,” an unpublished copy of the letter seen by Decrypt reads.

Democrats are growing increasingly concerned that, by carving out crypto from the SEC’s oversight, the CLARITY Act could create loopholes big enough for traditional finance players to slip through, too, so long as they adopt blockchain. That’s one major reason Democrats want to get the SEC’s input on the CLARITY Act before the bill sees a committee vote as soon as next week. 

“These [exemptions] could be creating loopholes based on technology,” another Democratic staffer said. “Traditionally, the agency tries to be tech-neutral, so their rules won’t become obsolete once the tech evolves.” 

Could these interparty tensions meaningfully impact the CLARITY Act’s chances of passage? Currently, all Republicans and a key contingent of pro-crypto Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee support the legislation.

While Democrats like Waters are unlikely to support the bill due to President Donald Trump’s continued involvement in personal crypto ventures from the White House, Democratic staffers say new issues with the SEC’s cooperation could potentially impact the support of the bill even among their pro-crypto colleagues. 

“It is impossible for them to understand what this bill does, the loopholes that it has, where it needs to be fixed, and how it needs to be made stronger, without this feedback from the agencies,” one Democratic staffer said. “And we are being denied that feedback.”
