BiomX Stock Could Soar 3000% As This $10M Biotech Cracks The 'Superbug' Code, Wall Street Says

Global Markets News

BiomX Inc. (NYSE: PHGE)* has achieved what Big Pharma couldn't accomplish in over 20 years — successful clinical trials using viruses to treat life-threatening infections that no longer respond to antibiotics. The $10 million biotech has reported positive Phase 2 results in diabetic foot bone infections, a condition so challenging that no new drugs have been approved for it in two decades. Meanwhile, their cystic fibrosis program showed 14% of patients completely cleared chronic lung infections after just 10 days of treatment. Approximately 160,000 lower limb amputations occur annually in diabetic patients in the U.S., with 85% caused by diabetic foot infections or diabetic foot osteomyelitis — creating an $8 billion annual healthcare burden according to company data. Current treatments rely on antibiotics that increasingly fail due to resistance, often leaving amputation as the only option. Clinical Breakthroughs Across Two Major Programs BiomX's March 2025 Phase 2 results in diabetic foot osteomyelitis from 41 patients delivered notable outcomes. The company achieved statistically significant percent area reduction of ulcer size, with p-values of 0.046 at week 12 and 0.052 at week 13. The treatment showed separation from placebo starting at week 7, with differences greater than 40% by week 10. BiomX also demonstrated statistically significant improvements in ulcer depth and reducing ulcer area expansion, while BX211 was safe and well-tolerated throughout the study. The company's cystic fibrosis program has been equally impressive. In their Phase 1b/2a study, 14.3% of patients converted to sputum culture negative for P. aeruginosa after 10 days of treatment, compared to 0% in the placebo group. One patient had been infected for 35 years before achieving complete clearance. The FDA has granted this program both Fast Track designation and Orphan Drug Designation, potentially accelerating the approval pathway. BiomX's approach uses bacteriophages — viruses that naturally target and kill specific bacteria — instead of traditional antibiotics that bacteria can develop resistance against. The company has overseen more than 50 compassionate use cases with no significant side effects to date. Military Validation and Wall Street's Bullish Take The U.S. Defense Health Agency has provided $40 million in non-dilutive funding to BiomX's diabetic foot program, representing significant validation of the technology. "They're seeing soldiers coming out of the Ukraine war with extremely antibiotic-resistant infections," CEO Jonathan Solomon said during the company's May 2025 earnings call. Despite the clinical progress and military backing, BiomX trades at approximately $10 million market cap — a disconnect0 that has caught Wall Street's attention. H.C. Wainwright maintains a Buy rating with a $15 price target, representing potential upside of over 3000% from recent levels around $0.4 Laidlaw & Company rates the stock Buy with a $16 price target, suggesting almost 4000% upside potential. Laidlaw analyst Yale Jen called the recent data "an absolutely positive surprise" and characterized BX211 as "a high value and clinically de-risked asset." The analysts' optimism stems from the clinical validation across both programs, massive addressable markets, and limited competition in the phage therapy space. Major Catalysts on the Horizon BiomX estimates addressable markets exceeding $2.5 billion globally for their diabetic foot program and $1.6 billion for cystic fibrosis based on patient populations and potential pricing benchmarks. The company expects to have sufficient funding through Q1 2026, aligning with anticipated BX004 Phase 2b results in cystic fibrosis. Key upcoming catalysts include the Phase 2b readout for their cystic fibrosis program expected in Q1 2026, ongoing Phase 2/3 trial discussions with the FDA for their diabetic foot program, and potential regulatory meetings in the second half of 2025. The company is also exploring partnership opportunities as the phage therapy space attracts increasing attention from large pharmaceutical companies. With validated clinical data, military funding, and Wall Street price targets suggesting potential returns exceeding 3000%, BiomX could offer investors exposure to phage therapy as a potential new approach to treating antibiotic-resistant infections. As the global antibiotic resistance crisis intensifies, the company's nature-based approach to killing bacteria positions it at an interesting inflection point in infectious disease treatment.

$USD1 Stablecoin Begins Minting on TRON

TRON DAO

Geneva, Switzerland, June 12, 2025 – TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), has announced the first minting of the USD1 stablecoin on the TRON blockchain. Released by World Liberty Financial., the developer of a pioneering DeFi protocol and governance platform inspired by President Donald J. Trump, USD1 is 100% backed by short-term US government treasuries, US dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents. The minting of WLFI’s stablecoin on TRON confirms an announcement made last month at Token2049 in Dubai by Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization and co-founder of WLFI. Trump announced in May that USD1 was the stablecoin selected to settle MGX’s $2 billion investment in Binance, quickly followed by a supporting statement that USD1 will be fully integrated into the TRON ecosystem. The minting kicked off in the early morning hours of June 11, documented by an X post from TRON founder Justin Sun, who described this milestone as a “giant leap for stablecoins.” “From launching new ideas to challenging how we think about money and freedom, it’s clear that we are making progress in moving the crypto industry forward,” said Sun. “It has been great to be part of this process with WLFI and to see the Trump administration taking steps to create a clearer and more supportive environment for innovation.” The integration of USD1 as an independent and secure stablecoin strengthens the TRON ecosystem while advancing their ongoing mission to promote economic growth. By offering the transparency and security that institutions demand, USD1 positions TRON for even broader institutional adoption. WLFI's strategic decision to mint USD1 on TRON signals a growing trust in the network's robust infrastructure and demonstrates increasing institutional confidence in TRON’s ability to deliver secure, scalable blockchain solutions for global markets. About TRON DAO TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps. Founded in September 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON blockchain has experienced significant growth since its MainNet launch in May 2018. TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin, exceeding $78 billion. As of May 2025, the TRON blockchain has recorded over 312 million in total user accounts, more than 10 billion in total transactions, and over $22 billion in total value locked (TVL), based on TRONSCAN.

Kryton International Urges Durable Concrete Standards as Data Centers Face Mounting Infrastructure Risks

The Hoyt Organization

As the demand for high-performance data centers surges around the world, Kryton International, the global leader in waterproofing and durability solutions for concrete, is calling attention to a growing threat to uptime and asset longevity: concrete degradation. With operators increasingly adopting robotics and automation within their facilities, the need for ultra-durable, waterproof concrete is no longer optional — it’s critical. According to Forbes, the average cost of a data center outage has soared to over $9,000 per minute, with some incidents exceeding $1 million per hour. Seemingly minor infrastructure failures — such as a hairline crack in a concrete slab that leads to water ingress — can escalate rapidly, damaging sensitive servers and power infrastructure. Even small leaks that do not fully penetrate can corrode the internal steel rebar and trigger a full collapse of concrete walls, cable trays, raised floors, power conduits, or cooling lines. “Concrete is often treated as a static component of a data center, but in reality, it is a dynamic and vulnerable part of the facility,” said Kari Yuers, President & CEO of Kryton International. “Traditional concrete is prone to microcracking, water penetration, and abrasion — all of which can lead to costly damage, downtime, and reputational risk for operators.” This risk is amplified by the massive volumes of water used to cool today’s data centers. Many large facilities use millions of gallons of water daily to regulate temperature — Google alone reported using over 5 billion gallons of water across its U.S. data centers in 2022. As cooling systems circulate water through and around concrete infrastructure, the potential for seepage and structural degradation grows — especially when relying on outdated or inadequately treated concrete. Additionally, the implementation of robotics to handle racks within the facility – an increasingly more common practice within the data center industry – subjects the concrete to abrasion from wheeled traffic cycles. Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM®) and Hard-Cem® admixtures provide industry-leading protection by making concrete self-sealing, waterproof, and resistant to abrasion — even under the heavy loads and constant movement associated with robotic systems. “Data centers are expanding to handle the processing power of AI systems, and the modern, high-efficiency warehouses are increasingly being driven by robotics,” said Yuers. “That shift demands a new standard in concrete performance — one that resists not just time, but moisture and abrasion.” The need is growing as hyperscale and edge data centers expand into regions with high water tables, such as Texas and the Southern U.S.; seismic activity; or wide seasonal temperature swings — all of which increase the risk of concrete deterioration. Once a water leak occurs, not only is there potential damage to electronics, but entire operations may grind to a halt for remediation and equipment replacement. By integrating Kryton's innovative admixtures at the time of construction, operators can avoid costly shutdowns, eliminate reliance on external waterproofing membranes, and ensure long-term operational resilience. Key Advantages of Advanced Concrete Solutions in Data Centers: Moisture Protection: Waterproof concrete helps eliminate the risk of seepage and moisture migration through floors and below-grade walls, which is especially vital in facilities with raised floors or sensitive power and cooling infrastructure. Long-Term Integrity: Abrasion-resistant concrete stands up to the high traffic and mechanical wear caused by heavy equipment, maintenance operations, and cable tray installations—ensuring longevity without the need for frequent repairs. Energy and Cost Efficiency: By mitigating risks of structural damage, corrosion, and mold growth, advanced concrete formulations reduce the need for costly repairs, operational disruptions, and energy losses from compromised insulation systems.

ABOUT KRYTON Kryton International Inc. is the inventor of the crystalline waterproofing admixture and has been waterproofing concrete structures with its proprietary KrystolÂ® technology since 1973.
