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around concrete infrastructure, the potential for seepage and structural degradation grows — especially when relying on outdated or inadequately treated concrete.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.

Medicus Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: MDCX) Positioned for Growth in a $5 Trillion Biotech Market

Medicus Pharma Ltd (MDCX)

The global population is aging rapidly, with the number of people aged 65 and older expected to double by 2050. This demographic shift is driving a surge in chronic diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular conditions. At the same time, breakthroughs in biomedical research are enabling the development of targeted, more effective therapies, transforming treatment approaches in both human and veterinary medicine. These twin forces, rising demand fueled by aging and disease prevalence along with technological innovation, are propelling unprecedented growth across biopharma markets. The global biotechnology sector is projected to expand from $1.74 trillion in 2025 to over $5 trillion by 2034, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5 percent. Specialty pharmaceuticals, including biologics and novel drug delivery systems, are expected to grow even faster, with forecasts predicting a 26.5 percent CAGR over the same period. Oncology remains a key driver, with spending on cancer medicines forecasted to nearly double from $252 billion in 2024 to $441 billion by 2029. Meanwhile, veterinary oncology is emerging as a high-potential frontier, with the U.S. market alone projected to reach $1.48 billion by 2030, driven by rising pet ownership and demand for advanced care. The urology therapeutics segment also shows steady growth potential, expected to rise from $10.5 billion in 2024 to $15.8 billion by 2033. Amid this expansive and interconnected landscape, Medicus Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: MDCX) is methodically positioning itself to capitalize on these powerful market tailwinds. Through a diversified portfolio of innovative drug delivery platforms and targeted therapies, Medicus addresses some of the most pressing health challenges across human and veterinary medicine. Medicus Pharma: Methodically Building a High-Leverage Growth Story Though still flying under many investors’ radars, Medicus Pharma is rapidly assembling the elements of a high-leverage growth story. On June 2, the company completed a $7 million public offering, selling 2,260,000 units at $3.10 each. Each unit includes one common share plus one warrant exercisable at the same price over five years. The capital will primarily fund a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) using Medicus’s flagship doxorubicin-loaded dissolvable microneedle patch (D-MNA). Additional funds may support broader development in non-melanoma skin cancers or other pipeline programs. Strategic Veterinary Expansion: FDA Submission for Equine Squamous Cell Carcinoma This timely financing was quickly followed by a major regulatory milestone. On June 9, Medicus announced submission of a formal product development plan to the U.S. FDA for a veterinary application of D-MNA targeting equine squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The program is advancing under an Investigational New Animal Drug (INAD) file, aiming for conditional approval. It leverages the same microneedle patch technology used in human dermatologic trials, demonstrating a strategic effort to repurpose clinical data and technology across human and veterinary markets. Tapping an Untapped Veterinary Oncology Opportunity The equine indication represents a significant market opportunity. As CEO Dr. Raza Bokhari highlighted, “In veterinary medicine, where only a handful of oncology drugs are approved, developing a non-invasive treatment for equine SCC targets a largely unmet need, a potential $250 million market.” The planned study will enroll 50 horses across five U.S. sites in a placebo-controlled design, comparing two D-MNA doses against placebo, with tumor response assessed at day 90. Medicus has secured FDA Minor Use in Major Species (MUMS) Designation, which grants seven years of market exclusivity upon approval, a valuable commercial advantage in a segment with limited competition. D-MNA Platform: Promising Safety and Efficacy Data The D-MNA patch, originally developed for human skin cancers, is supported by encouraging early data. A Phase 1 trial in Australia (SKNJCT-001) involving 13 patients with nodular BCC showed the treatment was well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities. Remarkably, 46 percent of lesions achieved complete histological clearance after a single application, an impressive result given the minimally invasive delivery. This platform delivers doxorubicin directly into the dermis through a biodegradable microneedle array, minimizing systemic exposure while concentrating the drug’s effect at the tumor site. Expanding Clinical Trials Across Continents Building on this foundation, Medicus is running two Phase 2 trials. In the U.S., the SKNJCT-003 study recently expanded enrollment from 60 to 90 patients following a positive interim analysis that showed over 60 percent clinical clearance. This multicenter, placebo-controlled trial compares the patch to the standard of care, with European sites now joining due to growing investigator interest. Concurrently, the SKNJCT-004 trial in the United Arab Emirates involves 36 patients across four hospitals, including Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, targeting both histological and clinical clearance endpoints. Strategic Acquisition: Entering Late-Stage Urology Complementing its internal pipeline, Medicus is also positioning itself as a consolidator of high-value assets. In April, the company signed a binding letter of intent to acquire UK-based Antev Ltd., whose lead candidate, Teverelix, is a GnRH antagonist in late-stage development for two urology indications: acute urinary retention (AUR) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia and hormone-sensitive prostate cancer in patients at elevated cardiovascular risk. These combined markets represent a $6 billion annual opportunity, and Teverelix has completed multiple clinical trials in Europe. Under the deal, Antev shareholders would receive approximately 19 percent of Medicus’s post-merger equity, plus up to $65 million in milestone payments tied to regulatory and commercial successes. A Platform With Multiple Growth Levers Together, Medicus offers optionality and platform leverage across human oncology, veterinary medicine, and dermatology, all fields marked by limited innovation and strong pricing power. Its lead asset is already in Phase 2 with international trial sites and active FDA engagement. The veterinary program offers a faster commercialization path with fewer regulatory barriers, while the Antev acquisition could propel Medicus into late-stage, multi-billion-dollar indications. Why Investors Should Watch MDCX Medicus Pharma (NASDAQ: MDCX) paints the picture of a small-cap biotech transitioning from concept to execution. The recent capital raise was non-dilutive and immediately followed by a key regulatory filing. Clinical trials across humans and animals are expanding, and a transformative acquisition is imminent. With a methodical approach tying together clinical progress, intellectual property, and market strategy, Medicus is quietly building momentum, making MDCX a stock to watch closely in the second half of 2025.

News Release

Wallid Unveils 3-Year Forecast and Strategic Vision for the Future of AI-Powered Shopping

Rev Up Marketers

As AI agents like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity increasingly shape how consumers discover and buy products online, Wallid.co Ltd, a London-based fintech innovator, has unveiled its official 3-year forecast for AI-powered e-commerce —alongside a strategic roadmap to help merchants and platforms adapt to this fast-evolving landscape. Led by CEO Ilya Mikin, Wallid is building the payment and checkout infrastructure designed specifically for the AI-commerce era, where traditional storefronts are replaced by conversational and intelligent buying flows. A Paradigm Shift in Online Shopping Consumers are no longer relying on static search-and-scroll models. Instead, they're asking AI assistants for personalized product suggestions—and soon, they’ll expect these assistants to complete purchases within the same interface. “We’re seeing the rise of ‘ask-and-checkout’ experiences,” said Ilya Mikin, CEO of Wallid. “This will radically change how brands are discovered and how transactions are completed.” Early signs of this shift are already visible: OpenAI-Shopify integrations now allow real-time product discovery and purchases within ChatGPT. Tech giants like Amazon, Google, and TikTok are embedding AI agents for dynamic, contextual shopping experiences. Market Outlook: AI Shopping Set to Hit $945B by 2028 Wallid projects that AI-powered shopping will account for a growing share of global e-commerce Gross Merchandise Value (GMV): $189B by 2025 (3% global share) $630B by 2027 (10% global share) $945B by 2028, representing 15% of all online purchases This surge represents not just a tech trend but a fundamental shift in consumer expectations—and a wake-up call for merchants and platforms to rethink how they sell. This Matters: The Four Fronts of AI-Commerce According to Wallid’s research, merchants need to prepare across four critical dimensions: Discovery: Product data must be structured for AI APIs, not just search engines. Personalization: AI will only show the most relevant options; brands must earn that limited visibility. Checkout: Frictionless, AI-native checkout with real-time payments is essential. Retention: AI agents can drive reorders, upsells, and smarter post-purchase flows. “Wallid’s AI-personalized, open-banking powered checkout is designed for this future—one where payments are embedded, context-aware, and effortless,” added Mikin. Wallid’s Vision: Payments That Work Where Conversations Happen Built specifically for embedded AI interfaces, Wallid’s next-generation checkout platform: Operates inside chat interfaces and AI agents Adapts in real-time to each customer’s context Powers low-cost, high-conversion account-to-account (A2A) payments Supports split-pay, cashback, and affordability-aware offers at checkout As conversational commerce becomes the norm, Wallid is positioning itself as the go-to infrastructure for AI-optimized payments across platforms and geographies. The Future Is Agent-Led Commerce Wallid forecasts the rise of intelligent AI agents that shop on behalf of consumers with prompts like: “Find me a birthday gift under £50” “Reorder my supplements with next-day delivery” “Book my skincare subscription using the best cashback offer” And with financial logic embedded into these AI systems—from credit scoring to loyalty and instant offers—Wallid’s mission is to become the transactional engine behind this future. About Wallid.co Ltd Wallid is a UK-based fintech company building AI-personalized, open banking-enabled payment solutions for the next generation of e-commerce. Its checkout layer is optimized for use inside conversational interfaces, enabling brands and platforms to deliver seamless, secure, and smart transactions.

EDGE Markets, the company behind EDGE Boost, one of the first debit cards designed specifically for responsible gaming, today announced the launch of its newest responsible gaming feature: a co-pilot system for social accountability. Through the EDGE Boost platform, users can nominate trusted friends or family to receive weekly reports of their transactions and participate in real-time limit adjustments, creating a shared commitment to more responsible play. Social accountability leans on a core behavioral insight that accountability works best when it comes from someone you know, not a faceless platform or app. Early adoption of the co-pilot system has already exceeded expectations with 7% of EDGE Boost users enabling the feature, far surpassing the industry standard of 1-2% adoption for similar, operator-based responsible gaming tools. “The reason why the co-pilot feature has been so successful is peer involvement,” said Seni Thomas, Founder and CEO of EDGE Boost. “Social accountability is why having a gym buddy works. By involving a buddy in your betting lifestyle, one is set up even better for responsible play. We have always said that EDGE Boost’s mission is to provide a safer and more responsible environment for users to engage with gaming and we know social accountability is doing just that.” Co-pilots will receive weekly snapshots of a user’s EDGE Boost transactions. If a user attempts to raise their deposit or spending limits, a co-pilot must enter a verification code before the change can take effect. The new feature aligns with the American Gambling Association’s (AGA) evolving Responsible Gaming Code of Conduct. Social accountability also helps foster responsible gaming by avoiding punitive approaches and reducing negative stigma. The co-pilot feature is now live and available to all EDGE Boost users.
