Bybit and FXStreet TradFi Report: Fed Decision Could Tigger a “Volatile Summer”

DUBAI, UAE, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released a new Bybit x FXStreet TradFi Report analyzing the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) July 30 meeting and its implications for global markets. The report highlights key technical levels and market expectations as traders position for potential monetary policy shifts.

The analysis marked a new key date: as the Fed is expected to maintain rates at 4.5% today, market focus has shifted to September 17, with current probability of a rate cut standing at 61%. The report identifies three critical factors driving September expectations: cooling inflation data, reduced tariff risks through recent trade agreements, and mounting political pressure for rate relief.

Highlights:

  • Shifting focus onto the September meeting: Change is in the air with market participants see the September meeting as a key turning point, factoring in tamed inflation, tariff deals in the making, and Trump’s pressure on rate cuts.
  • EUR/USD set up: Trading near oversold conditions with RSI (relative strength index) at 30, key support at 1.145 and resistance at 1.161. A September cut could fuel a fresh uptrend for EUR/USD.
  • S&P 500: Hitting record highs with upside targets at 6,446 and 6,500 if rate cut expectations strengthen.

The report emphasizes that today’s meeting serves as a catalyst for market positioning rather than immediate policy change. Given the combined economic and geopolitical factors, even subtle shifts in the Fed’s tone could move September cut probabilities from 61% to above 80%, potentially triggering significant moves across currencies, equities, and risk assets.

Egg Medical Announces U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Issues Final Rejection of All Claims in Rampart IC’s Radiation Shield Patent Following a Reexamination Challenge

ST. PAUL, Minn., July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a significant development in an ongoing legal dispute, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a final rejection of all claims in U.S. Patent No. 11,660,056 held by Rampart IC, LLC related to a radiation shielding device. The decision follows a request for reexamination by Egg Medical, Inc., which argued that Rampart’s ‘056 patent covered technology that had already been invented—some examples dating as far back as the 1960s.

Egg Medical’s reexamination request arose out of a lawsuit that Rampart filed in federal court in 2024, in which Rampart alleged that Egg Medical had infringed on its ‘056 patent. However, after the USPTO twice rejected all claims in the ‘056 patent, the federal judge overseeing the case stayed the proceedings pending the outcome of the reexamination. In July 2025, the USPTO issued a final rejection of all claims, citing multiple prior inventions—two of which were developed by Egg Medical.

“The remarkable part of this lawsuit is that Egg Medical never sold any product that fell within the scope of Rampart’s now-rejected patent claims,” said Robert F. Wilson, MD, CEO of Egg Medical. “Egg Medical respects prior intellectual property. The USPTO rejecting the claims in Rampart’s asserted ‘056 patent validates what we have been saying all along.”

Gavin Philipps, Chief Commercial Officer at Egg Medical, added, “The lawsuit was harmful to our company, as Rampart’s sales team at times suggested to customers that we were infringing on their ‘056 patent—an assertion that was never true. We’re pleased that the USPTO has thoroughly and repeatedly rejected all of Rampart’s claims in that patent, and we’re glad our customers now have clarity.”

Rampart IC may still respond to the USPTO’s final rejection or appeal to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. After three rounds and a sweeping final rejection, however, Rampart’s options are dwindling.

TIGGO7 CSH demonstrated outstanding battery protection capabilities following the severe impact, with only minor surface scratches visible on the battery casing and no signs of electrolyte leakage, fire, explosion, or smoke. The battery pack maintained excellent structural integrity, showing minimal bottom deformation while all high-voltage connectors remained fully operational.

The test conclusively validated the robust capabilities of Chery’s “Guardian Battery” system. Its lithium iron phosphate blade battery provides an inherently stable chemical foundation, while the 780MPa high-strength steel underbody armor —combined with a chainmail-inspired structural design—effectively dissipates impact forces. The system’s millisecond-response high-voltage cutoff technology (disconnecting circuits within 10ms) eliminates short-circuit risks, and its IP68-rated dustproof certification ensures reliable performance under the most challenging road conditions.

The Mexico battery scrape test marks the third stop of Chery Super Hybrid (CSH)’s global safety challenge tour, following rigorous evaluations in China including spiral rollover and dual-vehicle collision test, along with a grueling 53-hour saltwater immersion trial in Indonesia. Chery continues to validate its vehicles under six extreme global conditions—extreme cold, extreme heat, extreme dryness, extreme humidity, high-speed conditions, and rough terrain—positioning itself as the first Chinese automaker to conduct comprehensive extreme safety validation overseas. The automaker further amplifies its safety commitment through high-visibility displays at Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest international travel hub, proclaiming its core safety philosophy: “Safety, for Family.” Leveraging its industry-leading battery safety technology, Chery is accelerating its global hybrid market expansion, turning its vision of “Let everyone enjoy five-star protection” into a tangible reality for customers worldwide.

Saronic Unveils Echelon: A Unified Platform for Mission Planning, Simulation, and Command-and-Control of Autonomous Surface Vessels

AUSTIN, Texas, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Saronic Technologies today unveiled Echelon, a unified platform that enables advanced mission planning, high-fidelity simulation, and real-time command-and-control (C2) for its growing fleet of Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs). Built to enable scalable, distributed operations, Echelon allows a single operator to plan, simulate, and execute complex missions across multiple autonomous assets—using a single interface.

As maritime environments become increasingly contested and operationally complex, both defense and commercial users require intuitive solutions to deploy, manage, and dynamically task autonomous systems at scale. Success in these domains hinges on advanced mission planning, scalable C2, and the ability to operate reliably with or without continuous connectivity. Echelon aims to deliver on this need by combining mission planning, simulation, and execution capabilities into one system, accelerating deployment timelines and reducing cognitive load for operators.

With Echelon, operators are provided with an intuitive interface for rapidly designing and testing missions in a high-fidelity simulation environment. Enabled by Saronic’s deep instrumentation across the hardware and software stack, this simulation layer delivers full visibility into vessel autonomy, providing insight into the vessel’s performance capabilities prior to deployment. Once validated in simulation, the mission is easily deployed to the designated ASV(s). Mission observation and real-time control are available as needed, though Saronic ASVs are uniquely capable of operating independently without persistent communications, a critical requirement for denied or degraded environments.

During operation, Echelon prioritizes the safety, reliability, and effective control of Saronic ASVs. The platform combines ultra-low-latency video streaming with intelligent, autonomy-aware alerts generated from the vessels’ onboard sensors and mission telemetry. By surfacing only the most relevant data, from subsystem telemetry to autonomy behaviors, Echelon helps operators stay focused, informed, and ready to make high-impact decisions in real-time.

“Echelon is aligned with Saronic’s core belief that a vertically integrated system across both software and hardware will best enable our end users to achieve their mission objectives,” said Vibhav Altekar, Co-Founder and CTO at Saronic. “While our vessels remain compatible with third-party C2 systems, Echelon was purpose-built to unlock the full potential of Saronic’s autonomy stack and deliver an intuitive mission-ready capability to our customers.”  

Saronic continues to push the boundaries of distributed autonomy with Echelon. The unified platform represents a critical step forward in Saronic’s mission to enable one-to-many operations, where a single operator can command and control a heterogeneous fleet of ASVs—reliably, safely, and at scale.
