Published

on

Ondo Perps brings 24/7 derivatives infrastructure to the most in-demand U.S. assets for a global audience, enabling tokenized equities to collateralize perpetual futures contracts for the first timeLive now for non-U.S. investors, Ondo Perps offers up to 20x leverage for stocks, indices, and commodities; including SPCX, MU, NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, gold, and oil

NEW YORK, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Ondo Perps launched the first perpetual futures platform for equities and commodities that supports both tokenized equity holdings and stablecoins as collateral for derivatives positions. By combining 24/7 trading with up to 20x leverage and the liquidity of conventional futures and options, Ondo Perps opens a new layer of capital-efficient trading in global markets.

The Ondo Perps platform unlocks trading of perpetual futures on leading U.S. equities, ETFs, and commodities – including SPCX, MU, AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, QQQ, gold (XAG), and silver (XAU) – for global investors outside the U.S.

Ondo Perps is built on technology developed by Ondo Finance, the largest tokenizer of securities by total value. Ondo Finance’s technology enables the Ondo Perps platform to seamlessly source liquidity from traditional financial markets, much like Ondo Finance brought traditional exchange liquidity to Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs.

Ondo Perps is the first crypto perpetuals platform to unlock:

Tokenized securities as collateral – post tokenized stock and ETF holdings directly as collateral for perpetual futures positions, eliminating the need to maintain separate capital reserves across multiple platforms.Market depth comparable to traditional derivatives – trade with liquidity comparable to traditional derivatives venues, resulting in tight spreads and minimal slippage, even at size.The fastest permissionless perps exchange – Ondo Perps has the fastest execution speed of any perps platform, comparable to the best centralized exchanges in crypto. Order routing, margin updates, and liquidations are processed in real time, all while maintaining decentralization guarantees.

“Ondo Perps marks the first time a permissionless equity perps platform has been built with the infrastructure required to unlock liquidity, speed, and capital efficiency comparable to traditional derivatives markets,” said Ian De Bode, President at Ondo Finance. “Hundreds of millions of investors outside the United States can now access 24/7 exposure to stocks, ETFs, and commodities with up to 20x leverage, and deploy tokenized stock holdings as productive capital. We are rapidly approaching an investing experience that is, quite frankly, far better than what a traditional brokerage account can offer.”

Ondo Global Markets, which provides the underlying tokenized equity infrastructure, has grown approximately 5% per week since launching in September 2025 to over $1 billion in total value locked. Ondo Perps is the next layer of that ecosystem, enabling tokenized assets to function not just as holdings, but as productive collateral within a unified trading platform. The platform is designed to serve the large and growing population of investors outside the United States who seek leveraged exposure to U.S. capital markets but lack access to traditional brokerage infrastructure.

Note: The Ondo Perps platform is made available by Ondo Global Panama Inc. (dba Ondo Perps) using technology developed by Ondo Finance Inc. Not available in the U.S., Panama and other prohibited jurisdictions.

Best Protective iPhone Cases for 2026: Top Slim and Drop-Protection Options for iPhone 18 Pro & iPhone 18 Pro Max Recommended by Consumer365

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Consumer365 has recognized TORRAS in its review of the best iPhone cases for 2026, highlighting the Ostand Q3 Air and Ostand Q3 Air Pro as two options designed for iPhone 18 Pro & iPhone 18 Pro Max users seeking a balance between slim everyday usability and impact protection. The review examines documented features including case thickness, weight, grip, raised edges, magnetic support, corner protection, and drop-testing information.

Best iPhone Cases:

TORRAS – offers slim and protection-focused iPhone cases with air-cushioning, raised screen and camera edges, magnetic accessory support, textured grip, and built-in rotating stands, giving iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max users options for balancing everyday portability with impact protection.

The feature evaluates several factors that can affect real-world case performance, including thickness, weight, grip, raised edges, corner design, magnetic accessory support, documented drop testing, and overall handling. Rather than treating protection as a single specification, the review highlights the trade-offs involved in choosing between a thinner case and a more protection-focused design.

TORRAS addresses those different priorities through the Q3 Air series. The Ostand Q3 Air emphasizes a slimmer and lighter profile while retaining protective features, magnetic support, and an integrated rotating stand. The Ostand Q3 Air Pro places greater emphasis on impact management through a dual-layer airbag structure designed to help manage force during accidental drops.

TORRAS Q3 Air Focuses on Slim Everyday Protection

The TORRAS Ostand Q3 Air is designed for buyers seeking protective coverage without moving into a heavily built case. According to documented specifications reviewed by Consumer365, the Q3 Air measures 3.35 mm thick and weighs between 46 g and 53.7 g, depending on configuration.

Those dimensions help define the Q3 Air’s role within the series. The case is intended to retain a relatively streamlined profile while adding cushioning around areas that may be exposed during daily handling.

TORRAS lists an 8 ft protection rating for the Q3 Air. Raised edges provide another layer of separation between the device and flat surfaces, with documented measurements of 1.2 mm around the screen and 0.55 mm around the camera.

Grip is another part of the design. A dot-matrix texture is intended to improve handling, particularly during one-handed use. Better grip can play an important role in protection because reducing the likelihood of a drop can be as relevant as managing impact after a fall occurs.

The case also incorporates an 18N magnetic hold for compatible magnetic charging and accessories. Its built-in stand rotates through 360 degrees and supports portrait and landscape positioning for video calls, streaming, hands-free viewing, and desk work without requiring a separate stand attachment.

The combination positions the Q3 Air as a case for buyers who place significant value on portability, handling, and everyday functionality while still looking for documented protective features.

Q3 Air Pro Places More Emphasis on Impact Management

The TORRAS Ostand Q3 Air Pro takes a more protection-focused approach. The main distinction is the Air² Pro Tech construction, which TORRAS describes as a sealed dual-layer airbag system.

The structure uses two layers with different roles during impact. The outer layer is designed to receive the initial force, while the inner layer helps disperse remaining energy. This approach concentrates protective engineering around impact management rather than relying only on additional bulk.

TORRAS documents controlled internal drop testing for the Q3 Air Pro at heights up to 5 meters, or 16.4 feet. Such testing provides a useful reference point when comparing protective phone cases, although controlled testing should not be interpreted as a guarantee against damage in every real-world accident. Drop angle, surface material, device condition, and other variables can affect the result of an impact.

The Q3 Air Pro also includes textured sides intended to support a more secure grip. A microfiber interior creates a softer contact surface between the case and device. A 1.45 mm raised screen edge provides added separation from flat surfaces, while raised camera protection helps protect another key contact area.

Magnetic functionality remains part of the design. The Q3 Air Pro carries an 18N magnetic hold and includes a stand that rotates through 360 degrees and opens up to 180 degrees. The adjustable design supports portrait and landscape viewing for video calls, streaming, filming, and desk work.

Consumer365’s review presents the Q3 Air Pro as the more protection-oriented option within the two-product comparison, while the Q3 Air is positioned around a lighter and slimmer everyday experience.

Understanding the Slim Versus Protective Case Trade-Off

The review also examines why case selection should extend beyond broad terms such as “thin” or “protective.” Case thickness can affect pocketability and hand feel, but thickness alone does not establish impact performance. Likewise, a higher documented drop-test height does not describe every aspect of daily usability.

A useful comparison begins with several separate criteria.

Thickness and weight help indicate how significantly a case changes the physical feel of a phone. Published measurements can make slim-case comparisons more transparent.

Grip and corner construction affect both prevention and impact management. Textured surfaces can reduce slipping, while cushioning around corners addresses areas commonly exposed during falls.

Raised screen and camera edges can reduce direct contact when a device is placed on a flat surface. Exact measurements are particularly useful when available.

Magnetic support matters for charging, mounts, wallets, and other compatible accessories. Magnetic strength and alignment can influence how securely accessories remain attached.

Documented testing provides context for protective claims. Controlled test results are more useful when accompanied by clear conditions and should be considered alongside case construction rather than treated as a guarantee.

For the Q3 Air and Q3 Air Pro, these criteria create two different decision paths. A preference for lower bulk and published weight and thickness specifications points toward the Q3 Air. Greater emphasis on impact management and the dual-layer airbag design points toward the Q3 Air Pro.

Choosing Between the TORRAS Q3 Air and Q3 Air Pro

Case selection ultimately depends on how the phone is used throughout the day. Frequent pocket storage, extended one-handed use, commuting, travel, desk use, and reliance on magnetic accessories can each change which features deserve the most attention.

The Q3 Air combines a documented 3.35 mm profile with air cushioning, raised edges, textured grip, an 18N magnetic hold, and a 360-degree rotating stand. Those characteristics support a balance between protection and a slimmer carrying experience.

The Q3 Air Pro shifts the balance toward impact protection through the sealed dual-layer airbag structure and documented controlled drop testing. Magnetic support, textured grip, interior cushioning, raised screen and camera protection, and a 360-degree rotating stand remain part of the design.

Consumer365’s review recognizes TORRAS for offering both approaches within the Q3 Air series rather than treating protection and slimness as identical priorities. The comparison gives iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max users a clearer framework for considering protective construction, portability, grip, magnetic functionality, and documented testing before selecting a case.

For shoppers evaluating protective iPhone cases in 2026, the central question is not simply how much protection a case claims to provide. A more practical evaluation considers how that protection is achieved, how much bulk is introduced, and whether the case remains comfortable and functional during everyday use.

The full review is available at the Consumer365 website.

About TORRAS

TORRAS creates technology accessories that combine protection, thoughtful engineering, and practical everyday function. Across the Q3 Air, Q3 Air Pro, and Ostand series, TORRAS challenges the idea that better protection must mean more bulk, while using Ostand to make hands-free use and spontaneous content capture part of daily life.

Best Broadband Provider for Small Businesses UK (2026): Love Business Group Recognised for Helping SMEs Compare Business Broadband Options by Expert Consumers

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Expert Consumers has recognised Love Business Group for helping small and medium-sized UK businesses compare broadband options based on location, connectivity requirements and day-to-day operational needs. For companies searching for the best broadband provider for UK small businesses, Love Business helps SMEs assess available connection types, contract terms and business broadband features before choosing a suitable service.

Business Broadband Comparison and Switching for UK Small Businesses

Love Business – a UK business utilities comparison and switching specialist that helps SMEs compare broadband options available at their postcode, assess different connection types and business features, and get support with switching to a suitable service. Contract and renewal information can also be managed through myHUB.

Love Business is not a broadband provider or supplier. Instead, the company operates as a comparison and switching service, helping businesses review available broadband packages and move to a suitable option based on their requirements.

The comparison process considers more than advertised download speed. Business size, connected devices, cloud software, video calls, digital phone services, static IP requirements, contract length and the importance of uninterrupted connectivity can all affect which type of broadband is appropriate.

For small businesses, that distinction matters. A company with relatively light internet use may have little reason to pay for capacity that rarely gets used. A business dependent on hosted systems, frequent video meetings or online transactions may place greater value on connection resilience, upload performance and fault-response commitments.

Comparing Broadband Around Real Business Requirements

Broadband availability can vary considerably by business address, making postcode-level comparison an important part of the buying process. Love Business checks available options based on location rather than presenting a single broadband package as suitable for every company.

The Love Business broadband service covers several connection types, allowing SMEs to compare options according to operational requirements and available infrastructure. Full-fibre services can suit businesses seeking faster everyday connectivity, while dedicated leased lines address more demanding situations where consistent performance and stronger service commitments may be important.

Love Business also advises small businesses to consider employee numbers and the number of connected devices. Internet requirements can increase quickly when multiple employees simultaneously use cloud platforms, video calls, VoIP services, file transfers and other online tools.

Connection speed therefore represents only one part of the decision. Upload performance can become important for cloud backups, file sharing and video conferencing. A static IP address may be relevant for certain business systems. Service guarantees and backup connectivity can matter when an outage would interrupt revenue-generating activity.

This needs-based approach helps explain why the highest available speed may not always be the most practical choice. Selecting suitable capacity can provide a more balanced approach to performance and cost.

Business Broadband and Dedicated Connectivity Serve Different Needs

Love Business also compares dedicated leased lines for organisations with more demanding connectivity requirements.

A leased line differs from standard broadband because dedicated capacity is provided to the business premises. Leased lines typically provide symmetrical upload and download speeds and business-grade service level agreements.

That type of connection can be relevant for organisations relying heavily on cloud applications, VoIP, video conferencing, large file transfers, online services or connectivity between multiple locations.

For many smaller organisations, however, full-fibre business broadband may provide sufficient capacity at a lower cost. Love Business makes clear that a leased line is not automatically appropriate for every business. Connection requirements, downtime risk, available infrastructure and budget all need consideration before a decision is made.

Installation requirements can also differ. Standard broadband can generally be installed more quickly, while leased-line installation may require surveys, infrastructure work and a longer lead time. Comparing both categories can therefore help businesses understand the trade-offs between cost, performance, installation and service commitments.

Contract Management Through myHUB

The broadband comparison process forms part of a wider business utilities service from Love Business. Companies completing a product switch through Love Business receive access to myHUB, the company’s digital contract management platform.

myHUB brings contract information into one dashboard. Renewal dates, pricing information and switch progress can be tracked from a single account. Existing contracts held elsewhere can also be added for end-date monitoring.

The platform is designed to address a common administrative issue for SMEs: keeping track of multiple business contracts and knowing when each agreement approaches renewal.

Renewal visibility can be particularly relevant for broadband because business requirements may change during a contract period. Team growth, increased cloud usage, office relocation or the adoption of new digital systems can alter connectivity needs. A package that suited a company at the beginning of a contract may no longer be the most appropriate configuration at renewal.

Love Business combines comparison with ongoing contract tracking so broadband decisions can be revisited when contracts approach the end of the agreed term.

Transparency Around the Comparison & Switching Service

Love Business helps companies compare available options and supports them through the switching process once a suitable service has been selected. This gives SMEs a more practical route from reviewing different packages to arranging a new business service.

The company also provides information explaining how its comparison and switching service receives payment. For telecoms and connectivity contracts, Love Business receives commission directly from the provider when a customer takes a package through the service. The amount can vary depending on the selected package. Love Business states that customers are not asked to make a direct payment to Love Business for the comparison and switching service.

Making that payment structure clear gives SMEs more context when reviewing business broadband options and helps explain Love Business’s role in both comparing services and helping businesses switch.

For businesses researching the best broadband provider for UK small businesses, the broader lesson is that provider selection should begin with operational requirements rather than headline speed alone. Location, connection type, upload requirements, reliability, service commitments, contract terms and future growth can all shape the decision.

Expert Consumers’ recognition of Love Business reflects the company’s role in helping UK SMEs work through those considerations. By combining broadband comparison, specialist support and contract management through myHUB, Love Business provides a structured way for small businesses to assess available connectivity options and manage broadband decisions over time.

The full review is available at the Expert Consumers website.
