About CVW CleanTech Inc.

CVW CleanTech Inc. is a clean technology innovator working to develop sustainable technology solutions. The Company has developed a suite of proprietary technologies called Creating Value from Waste™ (“CVW™”) that recover bitumen, solvents, critical minerals, and water from oil sands froth treatment tailings while significantly reducing tailings pond emissions and enhancing tailings management.

On an annual basis, an industry wide implementation of a CVW™ EcoMax development option could be expected to:

Recover 13.2 million barrels of hydrocarbons (11.4 million barrels of bitumen and 1.8 million barrels of solvent);Produce 1.5 million tonnes per year of critical mineral concentrates in the form of titanium and zircon;Abate up to 5,000,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalents, primarily methane;Eliminate up to 30,000 tonnes of volatile organic compounds (VOCs – considered toxic substances by Environment and Climate Change Canada);Potentially eliminate tailings pond growth due to froth treatment operations, andGenerate annual revenues of $2.7 billion within the province of Alberta.

Diverting the froth treatment tailings stream to a CVW™ EcoMax operation could recover up to 90% of bitumen and solvent that are currently lost into tailings ponds, avoid the associated fugitive methane emissions, as well as capture valuable zircon and titanium mineral concentrates. This patented and ready-to-deploy process would produce “Ready-to-Reclaim” tailings to meet the Alberta Energy Regulator’s Directive 85 standards which would provide a step change in tailings management and allow for progressive remediation.

CVW CleanTech has invested over $100 million and over 15 years to advance the CVW™ technology to ready-to-deploy status. This technology has been supported by large scale integrated piloting and progressive commercial engineering studies resulting in 20 active patents. The development of the Company’s technology has been supported by the Government of Alberta and the Federal Government along with oil sands industry partners.

dxFeed Introduces ZeroDTE to Bring Greater Transparency to 0DTE Trading Risk

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — dxFeed, a global provider of market data and financial technology solutions, introduced dxFeed ZeroDTE, a new quantitative analytics solution designed to bring greater transparency and precision to the rapidly growing market for zero-days-to-expiration (0DTE) options.

Developed by dxFeed’s AI & Quant Research team, the solution transforms live SPX and XSP options data into comprehensive pricing and risk analytics, enabling brokers, trading platforms, and analytics providers to give traders a clearer understanding of potential outcomes before entering a trade.

The introduction comes as 0DTE options continue to reshape US derivatives markets. According to Cboe, same-day contracts accounted for approximately 65%* of SPX options trading volume in Q3 2026, averaging a record 3.2 million contracts daily. Yet the analytical tools available to traders have not always kept pace with this growth, particularly when it comes to understanding the risks behind complex, multi-leg strategies — a challenge previously highlighted by Jon Light, Senior Director of Product Management, Devexperts.

Beyond Probability of Profit: Understanding the Full Risk
While conventional trading interfaces typically display strikes, premiums, and margin requirements, ZeroDTE reveals the market-implied probabilities behind each strategy, including the likelihood of retaining the full premium, experiencing a partial loss, or reaching the maximum possible loss.

Unlike traditional probability calculations based on a single implied volatility estimate or delta, the solution analyzes the entire live options chain, incorporating the volatility smile and distribution tails to deliver a consistent view of market-implied outcomes.

Through a single API integration, platforms can provide traders with:

Market-implied probabilities of different profit and loss outcomes.Fair value comparisons against displayed market prices.Maximum profit, maximum loss, and break-even levels for individual strategies.Market-implied distribution of today’s close, derived from live options data.Strategies defined in units of the day’s priced move, so the same structure can be compared across days and market conditions .

Supporting popular structures including iron condors, butterflies, straddles, strangles, and vertical spreads, the service brings sophisticated quantitative analytics directly into the trading experience.

“Retail platforms are good at showing a probability of profit, and most will show the maximum loss as well. What they don’t show is how likely that loss is,” said Anton Antonov, Head of AI & Quant Research at dxFeed. “ZeroDTE puts the odds next to the worst case: the chance of keeping the credit, of a partial loss and of the maximum loss, read from the whole option chain rather than a single volatility number. Rather than predicting where the market will go, we give traders the tools to understand what current options prices imply, evaluate different strategies consistently, and make more informed decisions.”

Expanding dxFeed’s Intelligent Market Data Ecosystem
ZeroDTE marks another milestone in dxFeed’s evolution from market data delivery toward advanced analytics, quantitative research, and intelligent financial technology.

The solution joins dxFeed’s growing portfolio of innovative technologies, including SummerFox, its award-winning AI-powered market intelligence solution; Grenadier, an AI-based market data anomaly detection technology; and dxScript, an AI-assisted scripting environment for custom market analytics and indicators.

Together, these solutions reinforce dxFeed’s commitment to transforming high-quality financial data into accessible, actionable intelligence for the global trading community.

The new analytics capabilities have already been integrated into DXcharts, demonstrating how advanced options risk metrics can be incorporated directly into trading and charting interfaces.

For a deeper look at the technical capabilities, key features, and practical applications of ZeroDTE, explore our in-depth article.

One Third of Florida’s Banks and Credit Unions Not Yet Protected Against Future Quantum Decryption, Open-Source Scan Finds

Published

on

By

Manteiga Foundation publishes a state-of-readiness note on 81 Florida institutions: nothing is broken today, the risk is time, and for most the fix is one setting

MIAMI, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Of 81 Florida-headquartered banks and credit unions, 54 already protect their customers’ connections against future quantum decryption and 27 do not yet, according to a state-of-readiness note published today by Manteiga Foundation, a Florida public benefit company. The note, the first from the foundation’s Quantum Ready Labs, lists every institution and its result: quantumreadylabs.com/studies/florida-financial-2026q4.

Nothing is broken today. No account, login or transaction is at risk from what the note describes; every connection tested is encrypted with algorithms no existing computer can break.

The risk is time. Encrypted traffic can be recorded now and decrypted once a large enough quantum computer exists, so anything that must stay confidential for years is already inside the window. That window is narrowing: in 2025 the estimated size of the machine needed to break today’s key exchange fell from about twenty million qubits to under one million, and NIST has set 2030 to begin retiring today’s key exchange and 2035 to end it. Browsers already protect traffic the new way.

The fix is small. The 27 split in two. Ten are Exposed, their sites still on a protocol generation that cannot carry post-quantum protection; the next step is to enable TLS 1.3. Seventeen are At risk, on a modern protocol with the protection not switched on; the next step is one setting, the post-quantum key exchange (X25519MLKEM768), a configuration line or a toggle on current servers. The 54 are Protected (30) or Ready (24). The median score is 85 of 100; the note uses four plain words, no letter grades.

“Nothing is broken today, and that is exactly why this is the moment to act,” said Jaime Manteiga, Co-Founder of Manteiga Foundation. “Confidentiality is the urgent part of the quantum transition, the fix is small, and most of these institutions are one setting away. We built the scanner so that anyone can see where a host stands in a second and what to do next.”

Quantum Ready Labs is free and open source under the MIT licence. Typing a host name at quantumreadylabs.com opens a handful of connections to it, as a browser visit would, and returns the stage, a score for quantum readiness alone, the one next step and the standards cited (NIST IR 8547, FIPS 203, CNSA 2.0), shareable by link or as a five-page PDF; an open API runs the same test for services.

Each institution’s public primary domain was tested on October 18, 2026 with fourteen TLS handshakes and one ordinary connection; no page was opened, no login attempted. Every Exposed result was cross-checked with OpenSSL and curl. The population, from public regulator lists with each domain verified, will be re-scanned quarterly; any institution can run a fresh test at once.

For organizations that want help making the change, the foundation operates N30.ai, its cybersecurity consulting practice. The scanner and its results stay free and open.
