LONDON, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ION, a global leader in trading and workflow automation software, high-value analytics and insights, and strategic consulting to financial institutions, central banks, governments, and corporates, announces that ION XTP Central Limits has won “Best Pre-Trade Risk Controls Provider” at TradingTech Insight Awards – USA 2026.

The A-Team TradingTech Insight Awards – USA 2026 celebrate excellence in trading solutions and services, highlighting vendors who provide outstanding trading infrastructure, technology, and data solutions to capital markets participants across North America.

XTP Central Limits is a multi-market and multi-platform limit management system, which brings together risk, and limit controls from disparate trading systems into a single dashboard. It addresses the key industry need for pre-trade risk configurations to be monitored continuously, ensuring that limits are correct and haven’t been changed by unauthorized individuals.

XTP Central Limits formalizes the limit management and approval process. The solution allows workflows with various levels of approval, audit trails to track each approval stage, and updates of the pre-trade risk layers in trading platforms. XTP Central Limits interfaces with multiple order management systems (OMS), exchange trading platforms, and execution management systems (EMS). The solution provides a centralized limit approval process that is trading-platform agnostic.

GreenCore Solutions Corp. (GSC) Ships CPG Knowledge Graph v3.2.0 — AI Agents at 9.5 Million+ Monthly Transactions

Published

on

By

What’s inside the CPG Knowledge Graph: Retail grocery — 3.29 million points of sale (POS) across 15,688 retail grocery banners and 38,350 brands in 50 global markets.

VANCOUVER, BC and SYDNEY, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GreenCore Solutions Corp. (GSC) and its Asia-Pacific joint venture GSC Agentic today announced the general availability (GA) of the CPG Knowledge Graph v3.2.0 — the knowledge graph of the Beauty & Personal Care (BPC) segment of the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector. It carries 2 billion resolved sector datapoints and 2.5 trillion answerable questions, and it is designed for one thing only: sustainable AI Agents carrying BPC stock-keeping unit (SKU) information to retail grocery AI Agent buyers — the same machine-to-machine layer where, as Cloudflare confirmed in June 2026, machines now transact more than humans on the open internet.

CPG Knowledge Graph v3.2.0 shipped two months ahead of its fall scheduled release — and it is already running at production scale: 3.7 AI Agent transactions every second — 220 a minute, 13,000+ an hour, 316,000+ a day, 9.5 million+ a month — held for three consecutive months (May, June, and July 2026), without a dollar of GSC advertising spend. In the era Cloudflare marked, AI Agent inbound transactions are the product win. The new technology design is what moves agent transactions.

GSC Customer AI Agent Onboarding

GSC onboards BPC brands and private label SKUs to its AI Agents in 3–5 weeks — to production, not prototype — with the CPG Knowledge Graph’s performance benefits bundled in: SKUs mount onto the already-resolved knowledge graph, and bad data never gets in. RAG-based competitor stacks (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) typically take 3–5 months to reach production grade, with data preparation consuming 50–70% of the project budget before the first buyer query is answered.

Operating AI Agents — Procurement Effectiveness with the CPG Knowledge Graph

GSC provides managed services for BPC AI Agents — and when the retail grocery buyer agent asks, the answer is right the first time. No retry loops, no lost purchase orders nobody reports — every SKU answered from fact at wire speed.

Human in the Loop (HITL)

A human on every transaction is the rule, not an option: a person signs every purchase order and every RFP. And every SKU gets quality of care — one correction resolves once and serves everywhere, reaching all 15,688 banners at once.

Retail Already Switched

Microsoft opened Dynamics 365 to AI Agents in Q1 2026; Oracle shipped agentic Fusion the same quarter. SAP — the software that runs the world’s grocery chains — published the end date: its AI Agent Hub goes live Q3 2026, machine-to-machine buying goes GA in Q4, and its API Policy (v4/2026, §2.2.2) bars external AI agents from the legacy APIs. From the end of 2026, roughly $3 trillion of annual grocery buying power sits behind AI Agent gates that speak only two open protocols: MCP and A2A.

In June 2026, Cloudflare — the network used by 42% of the Fortune 500, carrying roughly 20% of the world’s web traffic — reported that AI Agent traffic had passed human traffic on its network for the first time. By July, Cloudflare Radar showed the split at roughly 60% AI – 40% human. The same migration is live in retail grocery: 9.5 million+ persistent inbound AI Agent transactions a month run on GSC, an estimated 15–20% of the world’s agentic grocery procurement traffic. That traffic is the forward indicator, and it points one way for BPC customers: faster to market, lower run-rate cost, higher sales, and sustainability built into every exchange — up to 80% lower token use and energy per SKU exchange than the generalist norm.

Gartner’s Strategic Predictions for 2026 names the destination: by 2028, 90% of B2B buying will be AI-agent intermediated, pushing over $15 trillion of B2B spend through agent exchanges. “Products will need to be machine-readable, and procurement will shift to efficient, autonomous machine-to-machine transactions.”

What Ships in v3.2.0

2 billion datapoints resolved into the graph — 38,350 brands, 15,495 makers, 30 billion cells2.5 trillion answerable questions available to buyer AI Agents at wire speedThe SPARKS classification standard — SKU, Pack, Amount, Region, Kernel, and Standard, pinning each product to its market. SPARKS is a live schema of the CPG Knowledge Graph and will ship as an Agent Skill in a coming version.

Retrieval bolted onto unmanaged files serves wrong answers 15–35% of the time even in controlled, optimized RAG systems — and 50–70% in real production environments. A Knowledge Graph with schema enforced at ingestion serves under 2%. The Knowledge Graph is the opposite of an index: a curated map of facts where every record is verified and connected before it’s stored, so an AI Agent answers from structure, not from luck.

Delivered on Three Open Protocols

v3.2.0 ships on MCP (Model Context Protocol — how AI Agents connect to systems), A2A (the machine-verified handshake identifying agents to each other), and ACM-68000 (deterministic status signals for agentic commerce). Signals, not compute. Machine identity, not anonymous requests.

Availability

CPG Knowledge Graph v3.2.0 is generally available today for BPC brands and private-label makers, served in-region on Microsoft Azure across nine countries — France, Australia, the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Singapore, and South Korea — and Google Cloud Enterprise, Madrid, and discovered through the GSC MCP AI surfaces: mcp.cpgknowledgegraph.ai (data), mcp.gsc-fleet.ai (discovery), mcp.cpghumanintheloop.ai (transaction), and mcp.cpgagentprotocols.ai (standards). These are machine surfaces, not human-viewable websites — built for AI Agents to read, not for people to browse.

“We make the only AI Agents for BPC brands and private-label makers built on the CPG Knowledge Graph — the edge in sustainability and agentic retail sales,” said Matthew Keddy, CEO, GreenCore Solutions Corp. (GSC). “Our customers get better AI Agents for their SKUs: fast onboarding, faster time to market and sales, and real retail grocery procurement security. We delivered all three — and the results are No. 1 in agentic CPG procurement, with an estimated 15–20% of the world’s agentic grocery traffic.

SEOUL, South Korea, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SK hynix Inc. (or “the company”, www.skhynix.com) announced today that it has recorded 79.3187 trillion won in revenues, 60.5426 trillion won in operating profit (with an operating margin of 76%), and 93.9226 trillion won in net profit (with a net margin of 118%), marking an all-time high quarterly performance.

Driven by sustained demand growth from expanding AI infrastructure investments, high-performance products for AI servers led price increases, enabling the company to surpass its previous record set in the prior quarter. Consequently, cumulative revenue for the first half of the year crossed the 100 trillion won mark for the first time in company history. Revenue and operating profit increased by 257% and 557% year-over-year, respectively.

– Q2 2025: Revenue of 22.232 trillion won, Operating Profit of 9.2129 trillion won
– Q1 2026: Revenue of 52.5763 trillion won, Operating Profit of 37.6103 trillion won

Both DRAM and NAND flash memory prices experienced significant quarter-over-quarter increases. SK hynix achieved top-tier profitability by expanding sales centered on high-value-added products, including HBM, DRAM for AI servers, and eSSD.

On the back of these strong operational results, cash and cash equivalents reached 88 trillion won at the end of the second quarter, an increase of 33.6 trillion won from the previous quarter. Total debt decreased by 0.7 trillion won to 18.6 trillion won, expanding the net cash position to 69.4 trillion won. The company evaluated that its financial flexibility has significantly strengthened, supported by record-high profit levels and cash generation capability.

As AI evolves into agentic forms that perform complex tasks on behalf of users and expands across various services, the underlying demand base for memory is broadening. Consequently, a structural shift is occurring where demand for both AI memory and conventional memory is expanding in tandem.

With major tech companies increasing their AI infrastructure investments, additional supply requests continue to mount. As these investments are supported by revenue generated from AI services, the momentum in memory demand is expected to persist.

Based on this demand outlook, SK hynix is expanding multi-year contract discussions with customers to secure mid-to-long-term supply stability. The company has finalized Long-Term Agreements (LTAs) with around 10 customers, including key strategic partners, and is continuing further discussions with major industry clients. Through these efforts, SK hynix aims to enhance operational efficiency while strengthening its mid-to-long-term business stability and sustainable growth foundation.

As AI models advance, the scope of memory competitiveness is expanding into system architecture and packaging. SK hynix plans to lead memory innovation from a system perspective, leveraging its comprehensive product portfolio and co-development capabilities with customers.

HBM4 has demonstrated its differentiated technological edge by achieving customer-required operating speeds while delivering industry-leading power efficiency and cost competitiveness. The company began mass shipments of HBM4 in the second quarter and will ramp up production in the second half of the year. For HBM4E, which completed sample shipments in the first half, the company applied optimal processes featuring technology maturity and mass-production stability. 

SK hynix plans to continue its leadership in the HBM sector based on its comprehensive strength, including superior quality, stable supply capabilities based on high yield, cost competitiveness, and industry-leading performance. 

Sales of SOCAMM2 grew significantly in the second quarter, and shipments of products based on 10nm-class 6th generation (1c) process technology began in earnest.

In NAND, SK hynix is accelerating its transition to advanced process nodes to strengthen its portfolio around high-capacity and high-performance products. 321-layer products already represent the largest share of total production, and the company plans to expand this to approximately 50% of domestic production capacity by the end of the year.

In a market environment where customer demand exceeds supply capabilities, the ability to deliver requested volumes in a timely manner has emerged as a core business competitiveness. 

In response, SK hynix is accelerating the mass production schedule for M15X while making investments to rapidly expand production capacity following the opening of the Yongin Phase 1 cleanroom in early 2027. Mid-to-long-term investment plans—including the recently announced P&T7 advanced packaging facility, M17 NAND production base, and the development of a new semiconductor cluster—will be executed in phases based on customer demand and investment efficiency.

SK hynix emphasized that it will reinforce both its production capacity and financial health by seamlessly preparing for mid-to-long-term growth opportunities while maintaining capital expenditure discipline (CapEx Discipline).
