AM BEST AFFIRMS MARBLE RE’S ‘EXCELLENT’ RATINGS, OUTLOOK STABLE

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 (Bernama) -- Global credit rating agency, AM Best has affirmed the financial strength rating of A- (Excellent) and the long-term issuer credit rating of “a-” (Excellent) of Micronesia’s Marble Reinsurance Corporation (Marble Re), a captive insurer wholly owned by Japanese trading company Marubeni Corporation (Marubeni).

The outlook of these credit ratings (ratings) is stable, reflecting Marble Re’s strong balance sheet, strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management, AM Best said in a statement.

Marble Re’s risk-adjusted capitalisation is assessed at the strongest level and is expected to remain there, supported by a revised dividend policy that allows it to build capital, despite higher underwriting risks from business growth.

Its investment risk is minimal, with a portfolio made up of cash and short-term deposits, while credit risks from its moderately high reliance on reinsurance are mitigated by a high-quality and well-diversified reinsurance panel.

The company has recorded a five-year average combined ratio of 50 per cent from 2021 to 2025. Its premium income rose moderately in the financial year ended March 31, 2026, driven by growth in its captive business and the start of third-party business.

As a single-parent captive, Marble Re mainly insures risks within the Marubeni group, with marine cargo insurance remaining its main focus in the medium term. AM Best said Marble Re is well integrated with the Marubeni group in risk management, corporate governance and internal controls.

AM Best said the ratings could be lowered if Marble Re’s operating performance deviates materially from its business plan or if Marubeni’s credit profile deteriorates significantly, while an upgrade is unlikely in the medium term.

ADDING MULTIMEDIA &Truth Launches &Atlas, Mapping the Global Mission to Provably Verify All Software


The world’s first interactive map tracking progress toward safe, mathematically verified software, beginning with the open-source C ecosystem.


PALO ALTO, Calif., & SINGAPORE, Nov 13 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- &Truth, a public benefit corporation building the universal verification machine for code, today unveiled &Atlas, an interactive map of over 100 million lines of open-source C software spanning more than 3,000 foundational codebases. &Atlas makes visible an unprecedented ambition: to mathematically verify all critical software in the AI era, beginning with C and expanding across languages and systems.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261112661845/en/

C code underpins operating systems, browsers, databases, networking, and other essential infrastructure. Much of it has been in use for decades, and vulnerabilities can have consequences far beyond a single application. As AI accelerates both software development and cyberattacks, the need to prove what code can and cannot do is increasingly urgent.

Through &Atlas, anyone can explore the map of open-source C codebases and zoom into individual projects and their dependencies. They can see what has been analyzed, what has been mathematically verified, and what remains. &Truth’s mapping algorithms bring code, dependencies, and verification results together in an interactive view of coverage, progress, and discovered bugs. The map reveals the scale of the challenge, without suggesting that the entire ecosystem is already secure.

From Mapping Code to Proving Its Safety

&Truth’s verification engine uses formal specifications and mathematical proofs to establish that code satisfies precisely stated properties, under explicit assumptions. Starting with memory safety and the absence of undefined behavior, the company is scaling toward increasingly comprehensive functional correctness. Proofs will be independently checkable using Lean, rather than requiring trust in &Truth’s assertions.

&Truth has already mathematically verified more than 100,000 lines of C code and uncovered numerous real-world defects. In recent weeks alone, the &Truth verification engine has verified thousands of lines per day. The company’s advances in scalable architecture and proprietary proof automation are driving accelerating gains in speed, efficiency, and autonomy.

Designed to scale with computing power, &Truth is advancing toward increasingly rapid, automated verification of complex software. As proof generation accelerates, the primary bottlenecks are increasingly shifting toward defect discovery, remediation, and extending verification to harder systems. This marks a significant step toward industrial-scale verification.

“Formal verification has traditionally required extraordinary expert effort,” explains Clark Barrett, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of &Truth. “We’re building the automation, specifications, and scalable architecture to verify entire software ecosystems, not just isolated programs. &Atlas makes both our progress and the immense challenge, including its complex interdependencies, visible to the world.”

Beyond Finding Bugs: Proving They Cannot Recur

&Truth has begun reaching out to maintainers and affected stakeholders through coordinated vulnerability disclosure and is working with them on remediation, without publicly exposing unresolved security issues. The goal is to fix defects and prove that corrected code satisfies specified safety properties, thereby eradicating entire classes of errors and vulnerabilities.

Initially read-only, &Atlas lets developers, open-source maintainers, and formal-methods researchers examine codebases, coverage, and specifications. &Truth plans to expand community collaboration, including by open-sourcing semantics, specifications, and proofs for verified code. The roadmap also includes moving beyond C to languages like Rust, Java, Go, C++, and Verilog and moving from open-source to enterprise software.

The Science of Specification

&Atlas shows the scale of the verification challenge, but mapping the world’s software is only the beginning. To mathematically verify it, we must first define precisely what the code is supposed to do. A proof is only as meaningful as the specification behind it. &Truth is advancing the “science of specification”: translating human intent into rigorous mathematical requirements, from memory safety to security and privacy to full functional correctness. Its modular architecture is designed to scale these specifications and their proofs across complex, interconnected software systems.

“The hardest part is not always proving that software meets a specification, but ensuring the specification captures what people intend,” says Ilya Sergey, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of &Truth. “A mathematically correct proof of the wrong requirement can create false confidence. Advancing the science of specification is essential to verifying software at scale. &Atlas makes both our progress and the challenge visible.”

Turning the Whole Map Green

&Atlas turns a vast technical challenge into a visible, measurable global endeavor: beginning with open-source C, expanding across languages and systems, and ultimately making mathematical proof foundational to the security of all critical software.

“The world depends on code most people never see,” states Chris Hsu, Co-Founder, Co-CEO, and Executive Chairman of &Truth. “Finding bugs is just the beginning. Our goal is to fix them, properly coordinate reporting, and mathematically prove that entire classes of failures will never recur in the code we verify. &Atlas makes our progress measurable. We invite the world to explore the map, join the mission, and help turn the whole map green.”

xStocks Broadens Suite of Tokenized Assets, Bringing Hundreds of UK and EU-Listed Equities Onchain


Two of the world's largest capital markets open up to a global onchain audience in the most significant expansion of the market-leading tokenized equities framework beyond U.S. listings to date, in the opening phase of Payward Services’ tokenization partnership with GTN


ST. HELIER, Jersey, Nov 12 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- xStocks, the tokenized equities framework developed by Payward, has deployed its first batch of tokenized equities representing UK and European publicly listed assets, the most significant broadening of the framework beyond tokenized US listings to date. The launch takes xStocks past 1,500 tokenized assets in total, and is powered by an ongoing partnership between Payward Services and GTN, the fintech powering limitless investment.

The first wave covers 200+ of the most actively traded companies listed in the UK and European Union, with further listings to be tokenized on a rolling basis. Each asset sits on the same open, programmable rails as every other xStock, backed 1:1 by the underlying shares. The new tokens are available to trade across Kraken and through supporting xStocks Alliance platforms from day one, and are embedded in the DeFi ecosystems where xStocks already trade, including Solana, Ethereum, TON, Ink, X Layer and other chains.

That backing also opens a new demand channel for the underlying public listings. Every xStocks token issued is matched by a purchase of the underlying share, held at a regulated custodian for as long as the token trades, so appetite from onchain investors feeds back into the order books of the publicly listed companies themselves. For investors across the 110+ markets where xStocks are available, it is a route to gain exposure into UK and European capital markets that most previously had no practical way to hold.

"Access to capital markets is still drawn on a map, and it still depends on holding the right passport," said Mark Greenberg, Payward Chief Commercial Officer. "A portfolio should not have borders or trading hours. We are building toward a single global market where any listed company can be held by any investor, whatever their address, their currency, or their local broker. Over 200 UK and European listings onchain today is proof it works. Tokenizing every other international market is the next step."

Today's expansion follows Payward's recent partnership with the London Stock Exchange to advance tokenization, and delivers on plans to tokenize the top 100 London-listed equities as xStocks. In 2027, subject to regulatory approval, the London Stock Exchange intends to list xStocks and start trading them on LSE 24.

The UK and EU are the first expansion markets delivered under Payward Services’ partnership with GTN, which handles global execution and custody of the traditional assets that underpin each token. That structure is what allowed Payward to tokenize and deploy hundreds of new assets as xStocks in a matter of weeks. Hundreds of publicly traded Hong Kong-listed equities will follow in the coming weeks, with further international markets after that.

“Tokenisation moves at the speed of the infrastructure beneath it. By combining GTN's global brokerage and custody infrastructure with the xStocks framework, we are bringing UK- and EU-listed equities to a broader global audience. We believe the future of investing will be defined by greater accessibility, interoperability, and efficiency, and this partnership demonstrates how traditional and digital financial ecosystems can work together to deliver that future at scale,” said Ankit Shah, Global Head of FinTech, GTN.

xStocks launched over a year ago with tokenized representations of US stocks and ETFs, each backed 1:1 by the underlying asset. The framework has grown to span more than 1,500 tokenized assets across stocks, ETFs and IPOs, the widest range offered by any tokenized equities framework, and holds over $1.1 billion in assets under management. Total transaction volume has passed $45 billion, with more than 550,000 unique holders worldwide. Distribution and eligibility are unchanged by today's expansion, and xStocks continue to be unavailable to investors in the United Kingdom.

About xStocks:

xStocks is the industry benchmark for tokenized real world assets, bringing publicly listed equities and other assets onchain through fully collateralized, 1:1-backed tokens. Powered by Payward’s digital asset infrastructure, xStocks places traditional assets on blockchain rails, expanding access to global capital markets with extended availability, global reach, and digital-native settlement. Starting with tokenized US equities, xStocks now spans markets across the US, Europe and Asia.

Designed for interoperability, xStocks move seamlessly between centralized exchanges, self-custodied wallets, and onchain applications, unlocking new utility across trading, collateralization, and decentralized finance. Since launching in June 2025, xStocks has grown to power billions of dollars in transaction volume across multiple blockchain ecosystems, anchoring a rapidly expanding global network shaping the future of tokenized markets.

Horizon Quantum Announces Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results


SINGAPORE, Nov 11 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Horizon Quantum Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: HQ) (“Horizon Quantum,” “Horizon,” or “the Company”), a pioneer of software infrastructure for quantum applications, today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended September 30, 2026 (“Q3 2026”).

Third Quarter 2026 Financial and Business Highlights (all figures approximate and presented in USD):

  • Horizon Quantum and Oxford Quantum Circuits (“OQC”) announce successful pulse-level integration.
  • Horizon Quantum signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Entropica Labs.
  • Horizon Quantum announces the development and implementation of protocols for performing efficient characterization of large quantum processors.
  • Operating loss for Q3 2026 on an as-reported basis of $10.5 million compared to $4.9 million for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 (“Q3 2025”).
  • Net Income for Q3 2026 on an as-reported basis of $33.4 million, or $0.61 per ordinary share, compared to a loss of $5.2 million in Q3 2025, or $0.13 per ordinary share in Q3 of 2025. The Q3 2026 quarter result included a $43.1 million non-cash gain from the remeasurement of warrant-related derivative liabilities driven by a decrease in the Company’s share price.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $6.3 million in Q3 2026 as compared to a loss of $3.0 million in Q3 2025.
  • Cash and cash equivalents at the end of Q3 2026 of $102.8 million, a net decrease of $10.5 million from $113.3 million at the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 (“Q2 2026”).
CEO Commentary

"During the third quarter of 2026, as part of our ongoing collaboration with OQC, we successfully completed the pulse-level integration of Triple Alpha with their 32 qubit Toshiko quantum processing unit, a further milestone in our aim of tightly integrating our software infrastructure with a variety of hardware platforms. We also announced that we have implemented our proprietary techniques for multiplexed characterization on a processor with greater than 100 qubits for the first time, enabling more efficient, scalable QPU characterization," said Horizon Quantum CEO and Founder Dr. Joe Fitzsimons.

He continued, "In addition we recently signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Entropica Labs Pte. Ltd, a Singapore-based quantum computing company, who specialise in error correction and fault tolerance. We look forward to exploring this opportunity further."

Operational Highlights

Expanding Horizon Quantum’s Hardware Ecosystem

By tightly integrating its software infrastructure with a variety of hardware platforms, Horizon Quantum aims to provide developers with the most direct path to broad quantum advantage and help ensure that their quantum applications remain useful—no matter which modality emerges as a frontrunner.
  • Horizon Quantum announces the successful pulse-level integration of OQC’s 32- qubit Toshiko quantum processing unit (QPU) with Triple Alpha, Horizon Quantum’s integrated development environment, as part of an ongoing collaboration.
    • The Horizon Quantum team used Triple Alpha’s pulse-level control capabilities to access OQC’s superconducting QPU’s control layer and characterize parameters such as qubit relaxation (T1) and qubit phase coherence (T2), which are metrics describing how long a quantum computer can keep information and execute calculations.
    • As part of the collaboration, Triple Alpha was used to perform gate calibration – executing a high-level quantum program on the OQC QPU.
    • Using Triple Alpha, developers can harness pulse-level control within the same programming languages that are used to develop quantum applications.
    • Characterization is a key step in preparing quantum hardware for practical use, and because quantum systems are highly sensitive, frequent recalibration is necessary.
    • Triple Alpha’s portable approach lets users write programs once and execute them across different control systems. They can create and deploy characterization and calibration routines and integrate them into their workflow via a simple web-based API.
Expanding Horizon Quantum’s Technical Capabilities

By developing software capabilities that enable more accurate, efficient, and scalable hardware characterization and calibration, Horizon Quantum aims to maximize the performance of quantum hardware and accelerate the path to broad quantum advantage.
  • Horizon Quantum announces the development of a new protocol for performing multiplex processor characterization across multiple qubits, with results validated against conventional individual pairwise characterization techniques, enabling more efficient, scalable QPU characterization.
    • Horizon Quantum has implemented its proprietary techniques for multiplexed characterization on a processor with greater than 100 qubits for the first time, measuring ZZ crosstalk, where unwanted interactions between qubits can reduce computational fidelity, and extended the techniques to measure control crosstalk, where control signals applied to one qubit have unintended effects on others.
    • Understanding unintended interactions between qubits is essential for improving QPU performance, but traditional individual pairwise characterization scales quadratically with the number of qubits, requiring large numbers of measurements.
    • Multiplexing combines multiple measurements into a smaller number of experiments performed in parallel, significantly reducing characterization overhead.
    • On a 100-qubit processor, when compared with conventional pairwise characterization, Horizon Quantum’s multiplexing approach can reduce the number of experiments required to characterize ZZ crosstalk from approximately 5,000 to 7, representing a more than 700-fold reduction, demonstrating how software-driven multiplexing can make QPU characterization more efficient and scalable.
Corporate Update

Horizon Quantum has signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Entropica Labs Pte. Ltd. (“Entropica Labs”), a Singapore-based quantum software company specializing in error correction and fault tolerance, for an anticipated consideration of $27 million USD of Horizon Quantum Class A ordinary shares subject to the completion of appropriate due diligence, related audits, the signing of definitive agreements, and satisfaction of other customary conditions.

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

All results are presented as approximate and in USD.
  • Total operating expenses for Q3 2026 were $10.5 million compared to $4.9 million for Q3 2025.
  • Research and development (R&D) expenses for Q3 2026 were $4.5 million compared to $2.0 million for Q3 2025, representing an increase of 122%. When excluding share-based compensation from each period of $1.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, the period-over-period increase in R&D expenses was 65% and was primarily attributable to increases in headcount and salary adjustments and to a lesser extent costs from related information technology expenses.
  • Sales and marketing expenses for Q3 2026 were $0.4 million, essentially flat period-over-period compared to $0.4 million for Q3 2025.
  • General and administrative (G&A) expenses for Q3 2026 were $5.2 million compared to $2.3 million for Q3 2025, representing an increase of 127%. Excluding share-based compensation expenses of $2.0 million and $0.5 million from Q3 2026 and Q3 2025, respectively, G&A expenses increased 82% period over period. The period-over-period increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to increases in headcount, and other operating expenses associated with the transition to a public company.
  • The operating loss for Q3 2026 was $10.5 million compared to $4.9 million for Q3 2025, representing an increase of $5.6 million. The widening of the loss was primarily due to increases in expenses associated with transitioning to a public company, increases in research and development headcount, and related operational support costs as compared to the prior-year period.
  • Net Income for Q3 2026 was $33.4 million, or $0.61 per ordinary share, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.13 per ordinary share, in Q3 2025.
    • The Q3 2026 result included a $43.1 million non-cash gain from the remeasurement of warrant-related derivative liabilities. The decrease in the trading price of Horizon Quantum’s Class A ordinary shares during Q3 2026 decreased the fair value of these liabilities, resulting in the accounting gain. This gain did not affect the Company’s cash balance.
    • All warrants of Horizon Quantum that remain outstanding will continue to be remeasured at fair value each fiscal quarter. Accordingly, future movements in the trading price of Horizon Quantum’s Class A ordinary shares could result in additional non-cash gains or losses.
  • Since derivative fair-value adjustments can create substantial volatility in reported earnings without affecting underlying operating performance or cash flow, management also evaluates results on an Adjusted EBITDA basis, a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA excludes changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities as well as share-based compensation, and non-recurring expenses associated with the business combination. On this basis, the company recorded an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $6.3 million for Q3 2026 compared with an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.0 million in Q3 2025.
Conference Call Information

As previously announced, the company will hold a conference call to discuss its third quarter on November 10 at 8:00 a.m. ET. The conference call will be broadcast live over the internet and can be accessed at https://investors.horizonquantum.com/news-events. For those unable to listen to the live broadcast, an archived version will be available at the same location for one year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Horizon Quantum’s condensed financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Horizon Quantum uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures provide investors an additional meaningful method to evaluate certain aspects of Horizon Quantum’s results period over period. EBITDA is defined as net loss before net interest income or expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, and income tax expense, and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before net interest income or expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, income tax expense, share-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative liabilities and non-recurring business combination expenses. Horizon Quantum uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its business, by excluding specifically identified items that its management does not believe directly reflect Horizon Quantum’s core operations and may not be indicative of its recurring operations. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and Horizon Quantum’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. For Horizon Quantum’s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, Horizon Quantum has shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

About Horizon Quantum

Horizon Quantum [NASDAQ: HQ] is on a mission to unlock broad quantum advantage by building the software infrastructure that empowers developers to use quantum computing to solve the world’s toughest computational problems.

Founded in 2018 by Dr. Joe Fitzsimons, a leading researcher and former professor with more than two decades of experience in quantum computing, the company is bridging the gap between today’s quantum hardware and tomorrow’s applications through the creation of advanced software development tools. Its software infrastructure moves beyond the constraints of static circuit execution, making it possible for developers to express any conceivable quantum computation. Its integrated development environment, Triple Alpha, enables developers to write sophisticated, hardware-agnostic quantum programs at multiple levels of abstraction.

Note to Investors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements. The expectations, estimates, and projections of the businesses of Horizon Quantum may differ from its actual results and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “aim,” “potential,” “plan,” “enable,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements, and Horizon Quantum therefore cautions against placing undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are outside of the control of Horizon Quantum and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial, performance and operational metrics and projections of market opportunity; (2) references with respect to the anticipated benefits and costs, if any, of the strategic collaborations with Quantum Machines and OQC; (3) the outcome of any efforts to deploy or build out the 256-qubit trapped-ion system in Horizon Quantum’s Dublin, Ireland facility; (4) Horizon Quantum’s ability to scale and grow its business, and the advantages and expected growth of Horizon Quantum; (5) the cash position of Horizon Quantum and its estimates of expenses and profitability; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the recently completed business combination with dMY Squared Technology Group, Inc., which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Horizon Quantum to grow and manage growth profitably and source and retain its key employees; (7) Horizon Quantum’s ability to enter into definitive documentation with Entropica, close the anticipated acquisition and realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition; (8) changes in applicable laws and regulations or political and economic developments; (9) the possibility that Horizon Quantum may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; (10) difficulties operating Horizon Quantum’s quantum processors and the possibility that the quantum processors do not provide the advantages that Horizon Quantum expects; (11) the ability of Horizon Quantum’s coding languages to provide additional abstraction when compared to other quantum computing solutions; (12) the ability to maintain the listing of Horizon Quantum’s Class A ordinary shares and warrants on Nasdaq; and (13) other risks and uncertainties included in the “Risk Factors” section of the Annual Report on Form 20-F filed by Horizon Quantum on April 14, 2026 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as well as other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Horizon Quantum. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risks, nor can management assess the impact of all factors on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, Horizon Quantum undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Horizon Quantum does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law.
