Pairs Cantor’s equity capital markets and trading expertise with Securitize’s regulated tokenization infrastructure to create a pathway for public companies to raise capital onchain

MIAMI and NEW YORK, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Securitize Corp. (“Securitize”)(NYSE: SECZ), the leader in tokenized assets, and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), a premier global investment bank and part of the Cantor Fitzgerald group of companies, today announced an agreement to enable public companies to conduct initial public offerings (IPOs) and follow-on offerings using blockchain-based infrastructure to tokenize securities.

By expanding the application of tokenization beyond secondary market trading, Securitize and Cantor will enable public companies to raise capital and issue securities onchain and gain access to the benefits of blockchain-based infrastructure, including enhanced transparency, improved operational efficiency, modernized ownership records, and a global onchain investor base, while still operating within the established capital markets framework of traditional public offerings.

Under the agreement, Cantor will leverage its equity capital markets and trading capabilities. Securitize will provide the tokenization infrastructure used to issue, distribute, and service tokenized securities and will utilize Securitize Markets, LLC, its SEC-registered broker-dealer affiliate, to participate in the offering and settlement process.

“Public companies shouldn’t have to choose between access to traditional capital markets and the benefits of blockchain technology that improve how securities are issued, distributed, owned, and serviced,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize. “This partnership brings together the capabilities required to support capital formation onchain within existing regulatory frameworks. It’s another step toward a future where digital securities become a standard part of how capital markets operate.”

“At Cantor, we have built one of the fastest-growing equities franchises on the Street, ranked #1 in U.S. IPOs in 2025, and are now bringing that expertise onchain,” said Pascal Bandelier, Co-CEO and Global Head of Equities at Cantor. “Tokenization is becoming part of mainstream capital markets, and partnering with Securitize allows us to bring the rigor of traditional equity capital markets to onchain settlement and distribution. This gives our clients innovative new ways to raise and access capital as markets evolve.”

Ember Launches Newly Designed Temperature-Controlled Tumbler 2 for On-the-Go and Outdoor Use

Published

on

By

New 16-ounce tumbler features a sleek design to fit any car cup holder and includes on-device temperature control, a dishwasher-safe design, and two lid options.

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ember Technologies, the global leader in temperature-controlled drinkware, launched Tumbler 2 today. The new 16-ounce tumbler features a slimmer, taller design that fits standard car cup holders, on-device temperature control and a top-rack dishwasher-safe build, making it easier than ever to enjoy coffee or other hot drinks on the go. Tumbler 2 builds on the foundation of Ember’s original Travel Mug 2 and Tumbler, rounding out the lineup with a new option built around portability.

“Simplicity has been at the heart of everything we’ve built since day one,” said Matt Murray, CEO of Ember. “We built our mugs for the kitchen table and the desk. Tumbler 2 carries the temperature-control technology Ember is known for out the door, keeping drinks exactly the way you want wherever the day leads.”

The redesigned Tumbler 2 body is slimmer and taller than the original Tumbler, built around the same portability that made Ember’s Travel Mug 2 popular. Tumbler 2 keeps the original Tumbler’s 16 ounces in a more versatile design, large enough to get through a soccer practice, a morning on the boat fishing, or a full shift on a job site without a refill.

Tumbler 2 adds new features Ember recently introduced with the recent Mug 3 launch, including on-tumbler temperature control. Owners can set their preferred temperature directly on the new Tumbler, or through the Ember app. One click sets 125 degrees Fahrenheit, and each additional click raises it five degrees, up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Indicator lights on the Tumbler 2 show the battery level while it charges on its coaster.

Like Mug 3, Tumbler 2 is also now top-rack dishwasher-safe. Every Tumbler 2 ships with a charging coaster and two lids, a leak-proof Handle Lid and a spill-proof Sliding Lid, so owners can pick whichever one fits what they’re doing. The Handle Lid is built for carrying a drink before it’s time to enjoy it without worrying about a leak. The Sliding Lid opens with one hand right away, behind the wheel. With the included lid on, a single charge powers the tumbler for up to two hours and 45 minutes.

Tumbler 2 replaces both the Travel Mug 2 and the original Tumbler in Ember’s lineup. The Travel Mug 2 will remain available while supplies last.

Tumbler 2 is available today for $179 in black and Sandstone at ember.com and is also immediately available online and in-store at Target. The Tumbler 2 will be available on Amazon starting October 19.

Benzinga’s Analyst Insights enhances the TradingView platform, delivering accessible sell-side research alongside industry-leading charting and community-driven tools

DETROIT, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Benzinga, a leading provider of real-time financial news and market data, and TradingView, one of the world’s leading charting platforms and social networks for traders and investors, today announced a collaboration to expand access to professional-grade analyst research across TradingView’s global community.

Through this integration, Benzinga’s Analyst Insights product is incorporated into the TradingView platform and news experience, delivering timely, easy-to-digest summaries of sell-side analyst reports directly within the tools millions of traders use every day.

TradingView’s platform provides the ideal environment for these insights to be applied in context, alongside real-time charts, technical indicators, and a highly engaged global community sharing ideas and strategies. The result is a more connected trading experience where data, analysis, and market perspective come together in one place.

Professional analyst research has long influenced market sentiment, but accessing and interpreting that information has often been a challenge. Reports are typically dense, technical, and distributed through institutional channels, making it difficult for many traders to quickly identify the key takeaways.

Benzinga’s Analyst Insights addresses this gap by transforming complex analyst commentary into clear, qualitative summaries that highlight the reasoning behind rating changes, price targets, and outlook shifts. Rather than replacing traditional research, it makes those insights more accessible and easier to act on.

TradingView complements this by providing a powerful platform where those insights can be applied in real time. Known for its advanced charting capabilities and intuitive user experience, TradingView enables users to visualize market movements, test strategies, and engage with a global network of traders, all within a single, seamless interface.

“TradingView has built one of the most widely used and respected platforms in trading, and their community values speed, clarity, and insight,” said Andrew Lebbos, SVP of Licensing at Benzinga. “Analyst Insights was created to make professional research more accessible. Bringing it into a platform where traders are actively analyzing the market makes that information even more useful.”

“A successful trade requires both sharp technical analysis and deep fundamental context. Adding Benzinga’s Analyst Insights into our platform enhances that combination. We are empowering our community of millions to instantly validate their ideas with professional research, all within the charts they already rely on every single day,” said Alexander Bondar, VP of Content at TradingView.

As trading continues to evolve, the ability to combine technical, fundamental, and sentiment-driven analysis within a single environment is becoming increasingly important. This collaboration reflects a shared focus on improving how traders access, interpret, and act on information.

By bringing together Benzinga’s real-time financial intelligence and TradingView’s powerful platform and community, traders gain the context and tools needed to navigate markets with greater confidence and efficiency.

The nomination highlights Leslie’s ability to foster deeper, human-centric partnerships within the IT channel.

SYRACUSE, N.Y., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Leslie Jemiolo, Director of Partner Marketing at MarketDesign Consulting Inc., has been named a finalist for CRN’s Women of the Year Awards in the Woman of the Year – Solution Provider category. This nomination recognizes Leslie’s decades of channel experience and her influence in building partner ecosystems across the technology sector. Full award details can be found here.

Leslie’s career spans telecom, solution providers, and manufacturing, where she has consistently transformed vendor-partner relationships into measurable business growth. By integrating operational excellence with strategic channel dynamics, she has led high-impact campaigns and client success initiatives for several of the industry’s most prominent organizations.

“I’m incredibly grateful to be named a finalist for CRN’s Woman of the Year – Solution Provider award, especially alongside so many women who are making a meaningful impact across our channel,” said Leslie. “I’ve spent my career believing that the best results happen when you put relationships first and give people the right support to turn good ideas into action. The channel has never been more diverse in how partners operate, serve customers, and create value, and I believe our opportunity is to build partner marketing programs that embrace that diversity rather than ask every partner to work the same way. When vendors and partners align around shared goals, remove friction, and make room for the relationships that actually drive this business, everyone has a better opportunity to grow. I’m proud to be part of a community that keeps pushing that work forward.”

In addition to her professional accomplishments, Leslie is noted for a creative approach to leadership that emphasizes empathy and foresight. Her experience in field marketing and partner development allows her to bridge the gap between technical implementation and business value, a skill-set that has become vital for modern solution providers.

CRN’s Women of the Year Awards aims to shine a spotlight on women who have made significant contributions to the channel throughout 2026. Winners will be announced on December 8 in New York City.
