Reap Integrates USYC to Advance Treasury Capabilities for Global Businesses

Published

on

Integration enables businesses to access yield-bearing digital treasury instruments within Reap Direct, with Reap building on USYC for its treasury offering

NEW YORK, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Reap, a global financial technology company building stablecoin-enabled payments infrastructure for businesses worldwide, today announced the integration of USYC[1], Circle’s tokenized money market fund, into its platform, marking a significant step forward in expanding treasury capabilities for globally operating businesses.

USYC is a tokenised money market fund designed to provide institutional-grade, yield-bearing exposure to short-term U.S. Treasury-backed assets, with onchain accessibility and liquidity. With approximately $2.9 billion in circulation[2] as of May 2026, it is among the largest tokenised funds in the market today, reflecting growing institutional demand for blockchain-based treasury instruments.

The integration brings yield-bearing treasury functionality into Reap Direct, Reap’s unified platform for managing corporate spend, cross-border payments, and financial operations across fiat and stablecoin rails. This addresses a growing need among businesses to not only move capital efficiently, but also to generate yield on idle balances without sacrificing liquidity or operational flexibility.

Additionally, Reap is extending its platform beyond payments and expense management into a more comprehensive treasury layer. Today, businesses use Reap Direct, Reap’s integrated platform operating across fiat and stablecoin infrastructure – to manage corporate credit cards, cross-border payments, and expense management through a single platform with built-in controls. With this integration, businesses using Reap Direct will be able to access yield from tokenised exposure to short-term U.S. Treasury-backed assets, helping finance teams optimize cash management without moving funds across multiple providers or systems.

The announcement comes as the market for yield-bearing digital treasury instruments undergoes rapid growth and adoption. Yield-bearing stablecoins grew from $9.5 billion at the start of 2025 to more than $20 billion over the course of the year (AlphaPoint, “Stablecoin Treasury Management for Institutions: A Definitive Guide 2026”, 2026). The shift is expanding beyond major institutions to everyday enterprises seeking better ways to manage idle cash. More corporate treasury teams are using tokenised, cash-like instruments to earn yield while keeping funds accessible for payroll, vendor payments, and cross-border settlements, signalling that digital treasury infrastructure is moving into the mainstream. The tokenised asset market is also projected to grow from $0.6 trillion today to $18.9 trillion by 2033, a compound annual growth rate of 53% (BCG–Ripple, “Approaching the Tokenization Tipping Point”, 2025).

By integrating USYC, Reap is enabling businesses to:

Earn yield on idle balances without leaving the Reap ecosystemMaintain liquidity for operational needs such as payroll, vendor payments, and expensesManage treasury and payments within a single, unified platform

Reap’s platform is built on a strong foundation of stablecoin infrastructure, with USDC powering core use cases across payments, card issuance, and cross-border transactions. The integration of USYC builds on this foundation, extending Reap’s capabilities from money movement into yield-generating treasury management.

Daren Guo, Co-Founder, Reap: “Reap was built to help global businesses run and grow with stablecoins. Integrating USYC into Reap Direct is a natural evolution of that vision, giving our clients a seamless way to not only move and manage capital, but also to put idle funds to work. This is about embedding modern treasury capabilities directly into the financial workflows businesses already rely on, with the speed, transparency, and control that stablecoin infrastructure enables. With this integration, we aim to give finance teams a more unified way to move, manage, and optimize cash globally, with the compliance, controls, and transparency that modern businesses expect.”

Leo Mizuhara, Vice President, Product Management, Circle: “USYC is designed to bring institutional-grade, yield-bearing assets onchain in a way that is accessible and programmable. Reap’s integration is a strong example of how tokenised treasury instruments are moving into real-world business platforms, enabling companies to incorporate yield-generating assets directly into their financial workflows.”

Reap’s broader platform continues to see strong adoption among global businesses. In 2025, the company grew 3X year-on-year in both revenue and volumes, reflecting increasing demand for stablecoin-native financial infrastructure.

Reap remains focused on expanding its infrastructure to support the next generation of corporate finance, with continued investment in regulated, interoperable, and scalable solutions that bridge traditional finance and digital assets.

BONGUARD NATURALS ANNOUNCES RESOLUTION OF PATENT MATTER, REINFORCING PROTECTION OF NIXODINE® TECHNOLOGY

Published

Amicable Settlement Underscores Strength of Bonguard’s Intellectual Property Portfolio and Commitment to Protecting Innovation

PHOENIX, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bonguard Naturals today announced the successful and amicable resolution of a patent matter protecting the intellectual property behind Nixodine®, a 6-methyl technology platform the company believes has the potential to fundamentally reshape its industry.

The resolution represents an important validation of Bonguard Naturals’ strategy to build, protect, and commercialize a robust intellectual property portfolio around a new generation of 6-methyl products. It also affirms the company’s commitment to defending those rights while fostering constructive relationships within the industry.

Ready Mix Naturals, LLC, owner of the patent portfolio covering innovative 6-methyl products sold under the Nixodine® brand, previously filed a federal patent action concerning certain products. The matter has now been resolved through a cooperative settlement that leaves the Nixodine® patent portfolio fully intact.

From the outset, LBC Products demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and compliance with Ready Mix’s requests. The parties worked constructively to reach an agreement that respects the underlying intellectual property while providing a clear, authorized path forward. Bonguard Naturals appreciates LBC’s cooperative approach throughout the process.

THE MESSAGE TO THE MARKETPLACE IS CLEAR:
THESE PATENTS MATTER. THEY ARE BEING PROTECTED. AND BONGUARD NATURALS REMAINS COMMITTED TO SAFEGUARDING THE INNOVATION BEHIND NIXODINE®.

Protecting Technology With the Potential to Define an Industry

The patents at the center of the matter form part of the intellectual property foundation supporting Nixodine®, an emerging 6-methyl product platform that Bonguard Naturals believes is poised to become an important force in the evolution of the industry.

As companies race to develop the next generation of products in this rapidly changing marketplace, proprietary technology — and the patents protecting it — can determine who ultimately leads a new category. Bonguard Naturals intends to be one of those leaders.

“We believe Nixodine® represents an extraordinary technological and commercial opportunity, and protecting the intellectual property behind it is one of our highest priorities,” said Rick Avila, co-founder of Bonguard Naturals. “These patents protect innovation that we believe has the potential to transform this industry. We invested in developing it, we invested in protecting it, and when necessary, we will invest in enforcing it.”

“This resolution should remove any doubt about how seriously we take our intellectual property,” Avila continued. “At the same time, we value constructive dialogue and are pleased that this matter was resolved in a spirit of cooperation.”

Building an Authorized Ecosystem

The agreement also highlights the commercial strength of the Nixodine® intellectual property strategy. It establishes a clear framework under which future participation in the 6-methyl space can occur through authorized channels that respect the underlying patents and brand standards.

Bonguard Naturals is not merely building a brand. It is building an intellectual-property-protected commercial ecosystem around technology it believes could help define the next era of the industry.

Four U.S. Patents — And A Broader Intellectual Property Portfolio

The matter involved U.S. Patent Nos. 11,964,958; 12,358,888; 12,358,889; and 12,497,381.

The broader portfolio also encompasses certain related divisional, continuations, continuations-in-part, reissues and reexaminations. Together, these intellectual property rights form an increasingly important protective framework around Nixodine® technology.

A Clear Signal to the Marketplace

Bonguard Naturals intends to continue monitoring the marketplace for potential infringement and taking appropriate action to protect its intellectual property when necessary.

For manufacturers, distributors and brands operating in the 6-methyl space, this resolution establishes an important precedent: the company is attentive to the market, understands the value of its patents, and is prepared to protect them — preferably through constructive engagement whenever possible.

“In emerging industries, there is often a period where companies assume new technology is simply available for anyone to copy,” Avila said. “That is not the case here. We have built meaningful intellectual property around Nixodine®, and we intend to defend it. We also welcome those who wish to participate through authorized channels.”

As Nixodine® moves toward broader commercialization, Bonguard Naturals intends to continue investing in innovation, expanding its intellectual property position, and protecting the technology it believes can help transform the industry.

About Bonguard Naturals

Bonguard Naturals is the company behind Nixodine®, an innovative 6-methyl product platform supported by a growing intellectual property portfolio. The company is focused on developing, protecting and commercializing proprietary technology while building an authorized commercial ecosystem designed to safeguard innovation, product integrity and the Nixodine® brand.

oneworld Partners with Popular App Timeshifter to Help Round the World Travellers Beat Jet Lag

Published

By

Science-based, personalised jet lag plans provided for every Round the World journey purchased on oneworld.com

FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The oneworld® Alliance is helping customers adjust to new time zones faster and lose fewer days to jet lag on Round the World journeys through a new partnership with Timeshifter – the world’s most-downloaded jet lag app, with more than 1.7 million users.

Effective immediately, customers purchasing Round the World trips on oneworld.com will receive a complimentary Timeshifter subscription that covers their entire itinerary, considering every flight and time zone shift from departure to final return.

“Our partnership with Timeshifter will help Round the World customers arrive ready to enjoy each new destination by supporting better sleep and faster adjustment to new time zones,” said Roger Blackburn, vice president of Loyalty and Commercial for oneworld, in remarks from the stage at the oneworld Loyalty Summit in Dallas/Ft. Worth. “Jet lag has a significant impact on health and wellbeing. This new partnership provides oneworld an opportunity to do what we do best: deliver a premium, elevated experience at every opportunity along the journey.”

Timeshifter is based on the latest circadian science, and advice is personalised to each customer’s flight itinerary, typical sleep pattern, chronotype and personal preferences.

“Timeshifter is trusted by astronauts, Formula One teams and professional athletes, and we are excited to be working with oneworld to provide this same circadian science to oneworld’s customers, improving their health and enjoyment when they cross time zones,” said Mickey Beyer-Clausen, CEO of Timeshifter. “Air travel has optimised nearly every part of flying except for what crossing multiple time zones can do to the traveller – a gap our partnership with oneworld will help to close.” 

What is jet lag?

Jet lag is not a sleep problem but a temporary misalignment between a person’s internal circadian clock and local time at their destination. The circadian clock keeps sleep, alertness, digestion, immune function, and dozens of other systems, synchronized to a 24-hour day, and takes its cues from light and darkness.

When travellers cross several time zones, the light-dark cycle shifts by hours, while the circadian clock moves only about an hour a day on its own. The only way to adjust to new time zones quickly is by timing light exposure and light avoidance precisely. If the timing is wrong, it will make jet lag worse.

“This is just the latest example of the creative ways we are engaging with premium partners who bring true value and an elevated experience to oneworld customers,” said Ole Orvér, CEO of oneworld.

About Timeshifter

Timeshifter is the global leader in circadian technology, translating circadian science into breakthrough products and solutions that improve human performance, safety, and health. In 2018, Timeshifter made jet lag history with its first product – now the most-downloaded jet lag app in the world. Building on this success, Timeshifter introduced a groundbreaking app to help shift workers improve their sleep, safety, health, and quality of life. Timeshifter’s concierge services support astronauts, NBA players, Formula 1 drivers and Olympic athletes perform at their best.
