A groundbreaking, evidence-based model aims to close literacy gaps, strengthen compliance, and improve outcomes for students with disabilities across the United States United States, 14th May 2026 — Dr. Mary Gene Pacut, an instructional leadership specialist in special education and early literacy systems, has unveiled a comprehensive national framework designed to transform inclusive early literacy instruction and Individualized Education Program (IEP) alignment in Kindergarten through Grade 5 (K–5) education.The framework, detailed in her latest white paper, Strengthening Inclusive Early Literacy and IEP-Aligned Instruction in K–5 Education, introduces a scalable, evidence-based model that addresses one of the most persistent challenges in education: the literacy achievement gap among students with disabilities.Despite decades of federal mandates such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), students with disabilities continue to lag significantly behind their peers in reading proficiency. National data show persistent disparities, underscoring the urgent need for systemic instructional reform and better alignment between policy compliance and classroom practice.“Early literacy is the foundation of lifelong success,” said Dr. Pacut. “If we fail to equip students, especially those with disabilities, with strong reading skills early on, we risk limiting their academic achievement, career opportunities, and participation in society. This framework is designed to ensure that every child receives the instruction they need to succeed.”A New Vision for Inclusive Literacy InstructionAt the core of Dr. Pacut’s framework is the integration of inclusive education, structured literacy, and IEP-aligned instruction into a cohesive system that bridges the gap between compliance and meaningful student outcomes.The model is built on three foundational pillars:Evidence-Based Literacy InstructionThe framework emphasizes structured literacy grounded in the science of reading. This approach includes explicit, systematic instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension components proven to significantly improve reading outcomes, particularly for students with learning disabilities.IEP-Aligned Instructional DesignRather than treating IEPs as static compliance documents, the framework transforms them into active instructional tools. Teachers are guided to translate IEP goals into daily lesson objectives, ensuring consistent delivery of individualized support and continuous progress monitoring.Educator Capacity BuildingRecognizing that teacher effectiveness is a critical factor in student success, the framework prioritizes sustained professional development, instructional coaching, and collaborative learning communities to strengthen educator expertise.Together, these pillars create a unified system that supports both instructional rigor and policy compliance while promoting equitable access to high-quality education.From Policy to Practice: A Comprehensive Implementation GuideTo support real-world adoption, Dr. Pacut has also released a companion policy implementation guide that translates the framework into actionable strategies for school systems, districts, and state agencies. Companion Policy Implementation Guide for Strengthening Inclusive Early Literacy and IEP-Aligned Instruction in K–5 EducationAligned Instruction in K–5 EducationStrengthening Inclusive Early Literacy and IEP-Aligned Instruction in K–5 EducationThe guide outlines a phased implementation model that includes:Needs assessment and system evaluationFramework design and resource mappingPilot implementation with coaching and monitoringScaling through training and cross-district collaborationThis approach aligns with federal education guidance and emphasizes continuous improvement through data-driven decision-making.“The goal is not just to introduce a new model, but to ensure it is implemented effectively and sustainably,” Dr. Pacut explained. “We must move beyond one-time training and toward systems that support ongoing growth and refinement.”Addressing a Critical National ChallengeThe urgency of this initiative is underscored by national education data. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, students with disabilities score significantly lower in reading compared to their peers, with gaps that persist across grade levels.These disparities are often linked to inconsistent implementation of evidence-based literacy practices and insufficient alignment between IEP goals and classroom instruction.Dr. Pacut’s framework directly addresses these challenges by:Embedding literacy instruction within IEP goalsStandardizing instructional practices across classroomsStrengthening collaboration between general and special education teachersUtilizing data monitoring tools to track progress and inform instructionThe result is a system that not only meets federal requirements but also delivers measurable improvements in student learning outcomes.Expected Impact on Students and EducatorsThe implementation of this framework is expected to produce significant, long-term benefits, including:Improved Reading Proficiency: Targeted, evidence-based instruction leads to stronger literacy outcomes for students with disabilities.Enhanced IEP Effectiveness: Alignment with daily instruction ensures that IEPs drive meaningful progress.Increased Teacher Effectiveness: Professional development and coaching enhance instructional quality and confidence.Stronger Policy Compliance: Integrated systems ensure adherence to IDEA and ESSA requirements.System-Level Improvement: Data-driven practices foster continuous improvement and accountability.By addressing both instructional and systemic factors, the framework offers a comprehensive solution to longstanding educational inequities.Scalable, Sustainable, and Future-ReadyA key strength of the PACUT framework is its scalability. Designed for implementation across diverse educational settings, the model includes:Train-the-trainer systems to build internal capacityDigital platforms for resource access and data trackingCross-district collaboration networksIntegration with existing school systems and policiesThese features ensure that the framework can be adapted to meet the needs of schools, districts, and states while maintaining fidelity and effectivenessAbout Dr. Mary Gene PacutDr. Mary Gene Pacut is a highly accomplished educator and instructional leader with over 11 years of teaching experience, including roles as a Kindergarten teacher in the Philippines and a Special Education teacher in Dallas Independent School District.She is widely recognized for her contributions to early literacy and special education, having received multiple awards, including Most Outstanding Kindergarten Teacher for three consecutive years. She is also a sought-after speaker and mentor, delivering workshops on IEP development, differentiated instruction, and inclusive teaching practices.Dr. Pacut’s work is grounded in a commitment to educational equity and excellence, with a focus on improving outcomes for all learners through evidence-based practices and innovative instructional strategies.Media Education LeadersAs education systems across the United States continue to deal with achievement gaps and evolving policy demands, Dr. Pacut’s framework offers a timely and practical solution.“This is more than a framework, it’s a call to action,” said Dr. Pacut. “We have the research, the policy support, and the instructional tools. Now is the time to align them into a system that truly works for every student.Education leaders, policymakers, and practitioners are encouraged to adopt and adapt the PACUT framework to drive meaningful change in their schools and communities.For media inquiries, interviews, or access to the full framework and implementation guide, please contact:Dr. Mary Gene Pacut welcomes opportunities to collaborate with school districts, educational leaders, professional associations, and academic institutions committed to advancing equity in mathematics education and instructional leadership.

San Antonio, Texas, United States, 14th May 2026 - San Antonio-based specialty coffee company Café Del Llano is continuing its expansion across Texas and online markets while introducing American consumers to authentic Colombian coffee culture inspired by the traditions of Los Llanos, Colombia. Founded by entrepreneur Jason Torres, the growing coffee brand combines premium Colombian coffee, luxury branding, and cultural authenticity while building momentum through retail partnerships, e-commerce sales, and Amazon distribution.Based in San Antonio, Café Del Llano was created with a vision of connecting consumers in the United States to the richness and heritage of Colombian coffee traditions through premium specialty coffee products rooted in authenticity, resilience, and craftsmanship.The company’s story reflects an uncommon entrepreneurial journey shaped by discipline, persistence, and cultural pride. Founder Jason Torres currently works full-time in the oilfield chemical industry in Texas, managing operations in a demanding and high-pressure environment where leadership, accountability, and consistency are essential every day. Prior to his work in the energy sector, Torres also served as a Spanish analytical linguist supporting the Department of Justice.Despite balancing long shifts and a demanding career, Torres continued pursuing his entrepreneurial vision of building a premium coffee brand that would represent more than just a beverage product.That vision ultimately became Café Del Llano. Inspired by Colombia’s deep-rooted coffee culture and the identity of the Los Llanos region, Torres sought to build a company centered on premium quality, cultural connection, and meaningful storytelling. Rather than positioning the brand as simply another coffee label entering the specialty market, Café Del Llano was developed to reflect resilience, family values, heritage, and the pursuit of long-term legacy.“Café Del Llano was created to bring the richness of Colombian coffee culture to the United States while building something meaningful through hard work, authenticity, and vision,” said Jason Torres, Founder of Café Del Llano. “This brand represents more than coffee — it represents heritage, resilience, and the pursuit of the American dream.”The company focuses on premium Colombian coffee sourced directly from Colombia while emphasizing freshness, consistency, and authenticity throughout the production process. The brand’s visual identity and product positioning combine modern luxury branding with a strong cultural foundation inspired by the traditions and character of Los Llanos, Colombia.As Café Del Llano continues expanding its presence in the specialty coffee market, the company is growing through multiple channels, including retail partnerships throughout Texas, direct-to-consumer online sales, and Amazon distribution.The company’s flagship product, the Café Del Llano Premium Colombian Coffee 1 lb Medium Roast Single Origin (Ground), is currently available through Amazon and features 100% Colombian Arabica beans sourced from select regions across Colombia. The product includes the Castillo coffee variety, known for consistency and strength, and is developed with a medium roast profile designed to deliver chocolate and caramel notes alongside a smooth, full-bodied finish.The coffee is crafted to provide dependable flavor consistency while maintaining a clean and balanced taste profile without harshness. The product is packaged to preserve freshness and is designed to perform across multiple brewing methods, including drip coffee makers, pour-over brewing, French press, and espresso preparation.The coffee’s branding and inspiration are closely tied to Meta, Colombia, and the broader Los Llanos region, which plays a central role in the company’s identity and cultural storytelling.What continues to distinguish Café Del Llano is the contrast behind the company’s growth story.While many emerging consumer brands are built through large startup funding rounds or full-time entrepreneurial teams, Café Del Llano has largely been developed independently while Torres simultaneously maintained a demanding full-time career in the oilfield industry.From product development and packaging design to website creation, retail outreach, and e-commerce growth, the company has been built through persistence, self-belief, and long-term vision.The brand’s expansion comes amid continued consumer interest in specialty coffee products, premium sourcing, and culturally authentic food and beverage experiences. By combining Colombian heritage with premium positioning and modern branding, Café Del Llano aims to establish itself as an emerging name within the competitive specialty coffee industry.The company also continues building its digital presence through multiple online platforms, including its official website, Amazon storefront, and social media channels focused on engaging consumers interested in premium Colombian coffee culture and specialty coffee experiences.Looking ahead, Café Del Llano plans to continue expanding its retail footprint while growing national brand recognition through e-commerce and strategic partnerships.At its core, the company remains focused on the belief that hard work, authenticity, culture, and long-term vision can create something meaningful regardless of where the journey begins.For Café Del Llano, the brand represents more than coffee alone.It represents ambition, identity, entrepreneurship, and the process of building a lasting legacy one bag at a time.For the latest updates, follow Café Del Llano on social media:Instagram: cafedelllanousaTikTok: @cafedelllanousaFor more information, visit Café Del Llano Official Website.Consumers can also explore the company’s Amazon listing for the Cafe Del Llano Premium Colombian Coffee.Watch “Cafe Del Llano Commercial” on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjw6BfdSSLA Media Contact Organization: Cafe Del Llano LLC Contact Person: Jason Torres Website: http://cafedelllano.com/ Email: Send Email City: San Antonio State: Texas Country:United States Release id:44995 The post Premium Colombian Coffee Brand Cafe Del Llano Announces Expansion Across Texas appeared first on King Newswire.

Roy Peires' IDILIQ Foundation and Kind Holidays initiative has provided free holidays to more than 2,300 people across more than a dozen charities. United Kingdom, 14th May 2026— May 7, 2026 — Roy Peires, the entrepreneur behind the IDILIQ Group, has directed decades of business success toward a structured program of charitable giving and community investment on the Costa del Sol and beyond. Through the IDILIQ Foundation, Roy Peires has contributed millions of euros in funding, infrastructure, and in-kind support to organizations serving some of the region's most vulnerable populations - from families facing terminal illness to individuals with cognitive and developmental disabilities.The IDILIQ Foundation's impact is measurable and documented. Among its most significant undertakings, the Foundation funded the construction of the F. Cruz Dias-ADIMI Care Centre, a facility built at a cost of €1,600,000 that currently provides treatment and support to more than 500 people in Mijas. ADIMI is the only private non-profit organization in Mijas dedicated to defending the rights, inclusion, and quality of life of individuals with cognitive and developmental disabilities. The Centre operates across two floors, offering Early Care, Child and Youth Services, a Day and Occupational Centre, and a Residential Facility for individuals with severe conditions, supported by modern medical technology and therapeutic consultation rooms.The Foundation's relationship with Cudeca, a hospice providing free specialized palliative care to patients in advanced stages of terminal cancer, dates to the earliest years of Roy Peires' philanthropic activity. The IDILIQ Foundation donated the Reception of Cudeca's newly built hospice and has since sponsored the charity's annual Walkathon, contributed furniture and goods to Cudeca's charity shops across the province, and provided a vehicle to support the Home Care team's patient visits. More recently, Cudeca patients and their families have been welcomed at IDILIQ Hotels and Resorts through the Kind Holidays program.Kind Holidays, which originated as an IDILIQ Foundation initiative, has become one of the hospitality sector's most recognized charitable access programs. Launched in 2012 with a donation to Give Us Time - a charity founded by former UK Defence Secretary Sir Liam Fox that supports military personnel and families dealing with PTSD and physical injuries - Kind Holidays expanded in 2016 to include charities supporting terminally ill children, bereavement organizations, Children's Hospices, and the Carers Trust, which was founded by Princess Anne. Following a pause during the COVID-19 pandemic, the initiative resumed in 2022 with renewed momentum and a broader mission to encourage participation across the hospitality industry.To date, more than 2,300 individuals across more than a dozen charitable organizations have received free accommodation at IDILIQ Hotels and Resorts through Kind Holidays. Roy Peires has also developed a practical guide and template, available at Kind Holidays, designed to help other hoteliers establish their own programs.Beyond these flagship initiatives, the IDILIQ Foundation supports Afesol, the Association of Families and Individuals with Mental Health Conditions, through furniture donations, volunteer participation in its annual suicide prevention walk, and the recent equipping of its Day Centre in Mijas. The Foundation conducts an annual internal campaign benefiting the Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer (AECC) in Málaga, directing all proceeds toward breast cancer research and support. The use of an apartment in an IDILIQ resort was made available to families of children undergoing cancer treatment, providing free accommodation during periods of extended hospital care. Additional community investments include the annual donation of 500 Christmas Eve meals to Los Ángeles Malagueños de la Noche, the full equipping of a computer classroom for Fuensocial users with disabilities, and technology donations to Asociación Cadi, El Faro de la Escucha, Asociación ALAS, and others. IDILIQ staff in Tenerife participate in the Mercedes-Benz Tour Amateur Golf Tournaments to raise funds for Asociación Nuevo Futuro, which supports families living in poverty. Roy Peires has also maintained a personal philanthropic relationship with Christel House, a global charity dedicated to building schools in under-resourced communities, for more than two decades.About Roy PeiresRoy Peires is the founder of the IDILIQ Group. Beginning in the 1980s, he established a business portfolio centered on hospitality and resort development on the Costa del Sol and Tenerife. In parallel, he developed one of the region's most active philanthropic programs, founding the IDILIQ Foundation and the Kind Holidays initiative. Kind Holidays has provided free accommodation to thousands of individuals through partnerships with charitable organizations across the United Kingdom and Spain. Information on the Kind Holidays program is available at www.kindholidays.comRoy’s charitable work spans palliative care, disability services, mental health, cancer support, military welfare, and international education.

Zack Held PhD advances behavioral health and institutional well-being in higher education through evidence-based, trauma-informed frameworks. United States, 14th May 2026 - Zack Held PhD, a doctoral-level psychologist and higher-education leader, has established a focused professional practice dedicated to strengthening the systems that support students, trainees, faculty, and professionals within academic and healthcare institutions. Drawing on advanced training in pediatric medical psychology and deep experience in high acuity, trauma informed settings, he brings a rigorous and research driven approach to the organizational challenges facing universities and medical education programs today.As colleges and universities face mounting pressure to address student mental health, faculty burnout, and the structural conditions that affect academic persistence, the demand for doctoral-level expertise in behavioral health program strategy has grown considerably. Zack Held PhD addresses this need with a comprehensive, systems level perspective, one that integrates evidence based practice, ethical leadership, and educational innovation.His work spans several interconnected domains: behavioral health program strategy, higher education leadership, graduate training, institutional well being, and organizational policy development. Contributions include the development of prevention frameworks, mental health literacy initiatives, and faculty engagement programs designed to build sustainable organizational cultures. These efforts reflect a commitment to creating environments in which students, trainees, and professionals can persist and thrive - not only during high-pressure academic periods, but throughout their professional development.Central to this work is an understanding that institutional health is not a peripheral concern. Academic persistence, resilience, and professional well being are shaped by the structures and policies that govern daily life within universities and medical education programs. His approach identifies and addresses the organizational conditions that either support or undermine long-term outcomes for individuals and institutions alike.Zack Held’s advanced training in pediatric medical psychology equips him to engage with the full spectrum of clinical and educational complexity, from individual trainee development to system wide program design. His background in trauma- informed, high acuity systems adds depth to his capacity to assess institutional risk, design responsive programming, and support the professionals who operate within demanding academic and clinical environments.Collaboration and communication are foundational to the model he applies across engagements. Zack Held’s work within higher education and healthcare settings reflects a sustained focus on professional development as both an individual and organizational process. Graduate training, in particular, requires the kind of layered, evidence grounded support structures he has contributed to shaping, structures that align institutional priorities with the practical needs of trainees and their supervisors.The frameworks he develops prioritize long term sustainability over short term intervention. Prevention-oriented program design, mental health literacy at the institutional level, and faculty engagement initiatives represent the kind of upstream investment that produces measurable, durable improvement in academic culture and well-being.About Dr. Zack Held, Ph.D.Zack Held PhD is a doctoral-level psychologist and higher-education leader specializing in behavioral health program strategy, graduate training, and institutional well-being.

At the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, to be held June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing, Explora Books will present When the Radio Went Silent by James S. Wynecoop—a memoir that examines the quiet psychological toll of rural and tribal law enforcement. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 14th May 2026 - Wynecoop’s work moves beyond procedural accounts of policing to focus on the lived reality of service in isolated communities, where professional duty and personal life exist in close, often unavoidable proximity. In these settings, work does not end at the station door; it continues into the same neighborhoods, roads, and homes that are shared with family and community members.Rather than centering dramatic incidents, the memoir focuses on the steady accumulation of responsibility that defines long-term service. Wynecoop reflects on this reality through grounded observation, including the blurred boundaries between officer and family life, where public duty and private identity often intersect.“The weight doesn’t live in the uniform,” Wynecoop said. “It settles into you. Into your shoulders. Your sleep. Your patience. It shows up in the way silence feels heavier than noise and how crowds start to exhaust you even when nothing is wrong.”The book situates these experiences within a broader discussion of first responder well-being, highlighting the long-term emotional demands placed on those in law enforcement, EMS, fire services, and military roles. It also addresses the concept of ongoing vigilance and the difficulty of separating occupational stress from personal life once the shift ends.Wynecoop draws on decades of experience in law enforcement and public service. His writing is direct and observational, shaped by years of responding to situations that do not always resolve cleanly or fit familiar narratives of resolution. This perspective informs his exploration of how duty, family, and personal resilience converge under sustained pressure.In addition to its narrative content, When the Radio Went Silent includes a dedicated section on seeking support, along with practical resources for first responders and their families. The book emphasizes the importance of acknowledging psychological strain and encourages open access to support systems across emergency service professions.The memoir ultimately presents a sustained reflection on service and its human cost, offering insight into the realities of work that continues beyond formal duty hours and into everyday life. It contributes to ongoing conversations about mental health awareness and support structures within first responder communities.At the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, Explora Books will showcase the title as part of its international presentation of works that explore lived experience, public service, and contemporary social realities.When the Radio Went Silent is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers.

Transformer oil is often treated as a background material inside a transformer, but in reality, it is one of the most important contributors to transformer reliability. It cools the asset, insulates high-voltage components, and carries early warning signs of internal stress. In simple terms, transformer oil is not just oil. It is the transformer’s coolant, electrical shield, and diagnostic messenger. Inside every oil-filled transformer, heat is produced by current flowing through the windings and by magnetic losses in the core. The oil absorbs this heat and transfers it toward radiators or cooling systems. When oil quality declines because of moisture, sludge, oxidation, or contamination, heat transfer becomes less efficient. The transformer may then operate hotter than intended, accelerating insulation aging and increasing long-term failure risk. Transformer oil also serves as a dielectric insulating fluid. Its ability to prevent electrical breakdown is commonly described as the dielectric strength of transformer oil. Clean, dry oil provides stronger insulation performance, while wet or contaminated oil reduces the transformer’s safety margin. Hering VPT notes that insulating oil acts as both a coolant and a dielectric medium, which is why maintaining its properties is essential for transformer performance. Moisture is one of the most damaging contaminants in transformer oil. Water can enter through seals, breathers, condensation, or maintenance activity. It can also migrate from aging cellulose insulation into the oil. The danger is that moisture lowers dielectric performance, accelerates paper insulation aging, and may contribute to corrosion or localized electrical weakness. This is why transformer oil dehydration is such an important part of modern transformer maintenance. Transformer oil also records internal fault activity through dissolved gases. Overheating, partial discharge, and insulation stress can generate gases that dissolve into the oil. Through dissolved gas analysis, maintenance teams can identify early warning patterns before a visible failure occurs. This makes oil testing one of the most valuable tools in predictive transformer maintenance. As oil ages, oxidation can also produce acids and sludge. These by-products affect insulation quality, cooling efficiency, and the long-term condition of the transformer. Hering VPT’s article on insulating oil maintenance explains that contaminants such as moisture, dissolved gases, and sludge degrade dielectric properties and may contribute to overheating, partial discharges, and equipment failure. This is where transformer oil purification becomes a practical reliability strategy. Rather than replacing oil immediately, asset owners can often treat the existing oil through a controlled process that removes particles, water, and gases. A complete transformer oil filtration system helps remove suspended sludge and solid contaminants, while dehydration and degassing address moisture and dissolved gases. The principle behind vacuum transformer oil purification is especially important. Under vacuum, water and gases can be separated from oil at lower temperatures, reducing the need for harsh heating that could damage the oil. Hering VPT states that its EOK transformer oil purification plants improve dielectric properties by lowering water content, performing oil degasification, and removing more volatile acids. The Hering VPT EOK Series fits naturally into this maintenance approach. It is designed for transformer oil purification, filtration, dehydration, and degassing, helping dielectric insulating fluids operate closer to their optimal condition. Hering VPT positions the EOK product line as a solution for supporting transformer performance and oil quality through vacuum-based purification technology. For utilities, industrial plants, and asset owners, this matters because oil condition is directly connected to operational risk. Rising moisture, reduced dielectric strength, increased acidity, dissolved gases, sludge, or particle contamination can all signal that transformer oil needs attention. When these warning signs are identified early, purification can become a planned maintenance activity instead of an emergency response. The conclusion is simple: transformer oil is never passive. It cools, insulates, and communicates. By monitoring oil condition and using technologies such as Hering VPT’s EOK Series when appropriate, maintenance teams can support transformer reliability, reduce avoidable downtime, and make better long-term asset decisions. Because in a transformer, oil is never just oil. It is the fluid that protects the asset from the inside.

San Juan, Puerto Rico — Puerto Rican urban artist Castiel announces the release of his new single, “X2DA VEZ,” available on all major digital platforms starting May 13, 2026. With this release, Castiel presents an emotional urban track centered on second chances, love, reflection, and the courage to try again after experiencing difficult moments. “X2DA VEZ” speaks to those who have loved deeply, lost, learned from the past, and still believe that some feelings deserve another opportunity. The song highlights a more sentimental and commercially accessible side of Castiel, blending melody, real-life emotions, and an honest vocal delivery. Through its message, “X2DA VEZ” connects with listeners who understand that love is not always perfect, but sometimes it leaves a mark strong enough to make someone look back and ask for one more chance. “This song represents that moment when you recognize what you’ve been through and understand that, if the feeling is real, it’s worth trying again,” said Castiel. More than a song about returning to love, “X2DA VEZ” is about maturity, emotional growth, and the lessons that come from pain, distance, and personal experience. Castiel delivers a record that feels personal while remaining relatable to a wide audience, especially fans of Latin urban music who appreciate songs with meaning, melody, and authenticity. The single also reflects Castiel’s goal of creating music that can move beyond a moment and become part of the listener’s own story, giving fans a record they can dedicate, replay, and connect with during personal chapters of love, loss, and renewal deeply. With this new single, Castiel continues to establish his identity as an emerging voice in Puerto Rico’s urban music scene. His music focuses on real stories, emotional connection, and the experiences that shape people through love, struggle, mistakes, and new beginnings. The release of “X2DA VEZ” marks another important step in Castiel’s artistic development, presenting a sound designed for streaming platforms, social media moments, playlists, and listeners who connect with music on a personal level. “X2DA VEZ” is available starting May 13, 2026, on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and other digital platforms.

Jupiter Lend market offers deep, scalable USDe yield designed for billions in institutional capital, powered by Fluid’s unified liquidity infrastructure. SINGAPORE, May 13, 2026 — Jupiter, a global onchain finance platform with over $3 trillion in lifetime trading volume, today announced the launch of an Ethena asset-focused lending market, curated with global crypto asset manager, Bitwise Asset Management, and powered by Fluid, the advanced onchain lending infrastructure provider of Jupiter Lend. This marks the first time an institutional asset manager has curated a market for Jupiter’s lending product, Jupiter Lend, signaling continued development of institutional participation in onchain lending. The inaugural lending market offers deep, scalable yield at institutional scale, with capacity designed to grow into the billions of dollars. By opening curation to traditional finance asset managers for the first time, Jupiter Lend establishes a framework to bridge institutional capital and leading lending infrastructure. For Bitwise, curating this market on Jupiter Lend is a reflection of how DeFi is maturing. With DeFi TVL growing 238% since January 2023, from $46 billion to $156 billion[1], and institutional capital increasingly flowing onchain, Ethena’s expansion into Solana and its growing institutional ecosystem aligns with Bitwise’s conviction in the long-term trajectory of onchain finance. Jupiter and Fluid have built unique infrastructure for efficient lending markets,” said Jonathan Man, Head of DeFi Strategies at Bitwise. “Their design offers deep liquidity and thoughtful risk-mitigating features, making it a compelling foundation for an isolated USDe market on Solana. Bitwise is proud to serve as curator alongside Jupiter and Fluid, applying our onchain asset management and risk oversight capabilities to support institutional participation. Key Highlights Dedicated USDe lending market on Jupiter Lend, isolated from existing Jupiter Lend liquidity layer and structured for institutional capital at scale Curation framework extended to traditional asset managers, with Bitwise appointed as inaugural institutional curator Underpinned by Fluid’s unified lending infrastructure, the most advanced collateral and risk architecture in onchain finance Until now, institutional capital and onchain lending have mostly operated in parallel. This launch puts them in the same structure where Jupiter Lend provides the market, Bitwise curates the market, Ethena supplies the asset, and Fluid runs the infrastructure. Each piece has been independently proven, and this is the first time they have been assembled together at an institutional scale in a live onchain market. Kash Dhanda, COO of Jupiter, said, “Now more than ever, its imperative that we take DeFi risk seriously. That’s precisely why we’re so excited to partner with Bitwise, who bring both the expertise and the institutional credibility needed to help scale onchain lending from a niche into the default way to do finance. And by working with Ethena and Fluid, two of the most technically innovative teams in the space, we’re thrilled to be able to deliver a product experience like no other.” Guy Young, Founder & CEO, said “USDe is an institutional grade savings product, built for scale. By combining Jupiter Lend’s advanced lending infrastructure with Bitwise’s asset management expertise, we’ve created an efficient USDe market ready for Defi and institutional adoption.” “Today, we opened our infrastructure to Bitwise, the first institutional asset manager to curate on Fluid. We’ve built the most advanced lending protocol — enabling discrete risk parameterization, advanced oracle designs, and dynamic limits that aren’t available on any other platform.
