Ultra-light Frame, Organic Design

The Amflow PL is a full-power eMTB with a stunningly lightweight body. The ultra-light carbon fiber frame weighs just 2.27kg1 and has been designed and expertly-crafted to deliver the ultimate ride, wherever the rider is headed. 

Tackle Terrain with Confidence

At the heart of the Amflow PL is the Avinox Drive System incorporating multiple cutting-edge technologies in both software and hardware design. The motor provides an industry-leading power-to-size ratio, with 105 Nm torque.

Preference Matching Assistance

In addition to traditional assistance modes, the Avinox Drive System also features a specialized Auto mode, which adapts assistance in real-time based on road conditions and riding position1.  Once enabled, Auto mode empowers users to tackle a wide variety of terrain types and gradients without having to switch modes.

For the most challenging trails, Boost mode can be activated to instantly receive 120 Nm of torque, enabling steep inclines to be tackled with ease.

Furthermore, Amflow PL has Walk mode which features intelligent walk assistance for easy incline traversing, Auto Hold to prevent rollback on slopes, and Hill Start Assist for additional torque to get riders started on inclines. It also allows stationary gear-shifting for a smooth and intuitive experience.

Fast Charging, High-Capacity Battery Offers Extended Range

The Avinox system’s battery weighs just 2.87kg1 and boasts an ultra-high energy density, ensuring an uncompromised range.

For those wanting to get back out there as soon as possible, a compact and convenient fast charger1 is capable of charging the battery from 0% to 75% in just 1.5 hours1.

Real-time monitoring, self-discharge, active voltage reduction, and abnormality alerts all feed into the battery health management system to create a durable and reliable battery that still maintains at least 80% capacity after 500 charge-discharge cycles1.

Agile and Responsive with Cutting-edge Geometry

The Amflow PL’s all-around frame design features cutting-edge geometry, offering balanced performance that’s both lightweight and hyper-agile, empowering riders to easily take on rugged trails and more technical rides.

For those looking to adapt the wheel size to their needs, the Amflow PL frame structure is compatible with both 27.5″ and 29″ rear wheels1.  So, whether looking for a smoother ride with larger wheels or agility with smaller ones, a simple adjustment of the flip chip will allow for either size to be fitted without altering the frame’s geometric center of gravity.

Optimized Ride Efficiency

Featuring a four-bar linkage structure, the Amflow PL significantly reduces pedal kickback while greatly improving pedaling efficiency, ensuring that every pedal stroke counts.

Superior Suspension

The rear shock, co-tuned with FOX, offers a sensitive initial stroke response to effectively filter out minor vibrations. It also provides powerful end-stroke support to prevent bottom-outs during continuous high-speed impacts or steep descents, enabling riders to fully enjoy every off-road adventure.

Control at Your Fingertips

At the core of the Avinox system is a 2″ full-color OLED touchscreen control display which is integrated directly into the frame of the Amflow PL. Riders are presented with a wealth of information including real-time riding data, estimated range and the ability to adjust the setup with just a swipe.

Even greater control can be gained by Bluetooth-enabled Wireless Controllers that connect wirelessly to the control display. Mode switches can be made while riding.

When connected to the Avinox App riders have access to:

  • Customizable Parameters: Parameters of riding modes can be quickly customized to adjust power, torque and cadence, according to riding habits.
  • Anti-theft Mode1: A password-protected anti-theft mode will sound an alarm and the app will send a notification, if unauthorized movement of the eMTB is detected.
  • Remote Locating: The bike’s real-time location can easily be checked.

Comprehensive Data Recording, Easy Metric Sharing

With the control display or the Avinox app, riders can review rich data like speeds, range, cadence, power, torque, gradient, altitude, calories burned, ride times, heart rate, and more. This data can also be easily synced with third-party apps such as Strava to share with friends and the eMTB community.

Pico Cracks the Code: ‘Open the Vault’ Turns Batman IP into 21,000+ New Prospects

LOS ANGELES, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A key part of State Farm’s integrated Batman vs Bateman campaign, ‘Open the Vault’s main purpose was to accumulate user data and opt-ins for retargeting the company’s client base. It was simultaneously a strategic promotion using the latest Batman vs Bateman commercial video, aiming to underpin the brand’s image using well-known IP.

 

State Farm ‘Open the Vault’ Project

Infinity Marketing Team (IMT), a member of the Pico Group, was appointed by State Farm to undertake the campaign and leverage the popularity of Batman into actual ROI comprising registrations on State Farm’s custom-made website. In all, the IMT team was responsible for strategy and concept development, design, social media strategy and talent sourcing.

Insight

Brands frequently collaborate with popular IPs to gain access to the latter’s audiences. Ideally, it results in higher visibility and stronger emotional connections to the brand. However, it is by no means guaranteed that the influence of IPs can be translated to profitable value.

Addressing the conversion rate, IMT developed ‘Open the Vault’ to harness influencer marketing across multiple social media channels. The partnership with selected influencers and content creators would promote a livestream on Twitch, with immediate interaction encouraging viewers to a customised website where they could sign up for a chance to win the grand prize – namely an all-expense paid trip to Warner Bros. Studio with VIP tour.

Solutions

As well as the grand prize, participants were given riddles to solve during the livestream itself, with the fastest responses earning additional prizes. Kai Cenat, ‘the world’s number one streamer’, hosted the livestream, which featured Jake from State Farm as a special guest and offered viewers chances to win prizes such as DoorDash gift cards, a Batman and Jake from State Farm Funko POP! set, and exclusive merchandise from artist SZA. Kai announced the grand prize winners live.

To further promote the livestream and widen its audience, 31 content creators posted two stories on Instagram and encouraged viewers to sign up on the microsite for a chance to win the grand prize. The hour-long event culminated with Kai presenting the world premiere of the Batman vs Bateman commercial video extended cut to his live audience – and a whole new crop of potential customers for State Farm.

Result

The entire online campaign linked State Farm Insurance and Batman together in a creative and engaging way. The livestream of Kai and Jake has reached 90,000 concurrent view. The total reach was over 124 million, and more than 21,000 new registrations were generated on State Farm’s website.

Treehouse Launches TREE Token Across Binance, OKX, Coinbase, and Top Exchanges Following Token Generation Event

With listings on prominent CEXs and DEXs, Treehouse, the Decentralized Fixed Income Layer, activates TREE’s first utility via Pre-Deposit Vaults, offering up to 75% APR

SINGAPORE, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Treehouse, a digital assets infrastructure firm with over $550 million in Total Value Locked (TVL), just announced the launch of its native token, TREE, following the successful completion of its Token Generation Event (TGE), code-named Gaia. TREE is now live and available for trading on Tier-1 and major exchanges, including Binance, OKX, Coinbase, Bybit, Bitget, Gate, KuCoin, BitPanda, Kraken, Bitvavo, HTX, and MEXC, with more underway.

As part of the launch, Treehouse activated the token’s first utility: Pre-Deposit Vaults, time-limited yield-bearing staking pools linked to the protocol’s Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR) consensus framework. Token holders can earn a guaranteed 50 to 75% APR by staking TREE to support rate forecasting Panelists. Pre-Deposit Vault staking is open for 30 days following TGE, with participation details available in Treehouse’s blog and documentation.

Enabling On-Chain Fixed Income: DOR and tAssets

Treehouse is building the foundational infrastructure for fixed income in decentralized finance through Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR) and tAssets.

DOR is a consensus framework designed to bring structure and transparency to DeFi yields, similar to what LIBOR and SOFR provided in traditional finance. The protocol’s first published benchmark, the Treehouse Ethereum Staking Rate (TESR), reflects ETH staking yields through daily forecasts from expert contributors, including Staking Rewards, RockX, and LinkPool. These benchmarks enable structured products, lending markets, and interest rate derivatives to emerge and scale on-chain.

Complementing DOR is Treehouse’s expanding suite of tAssets—liquid staking primitives such as tETH, which are designed for yield generation and capital efficiency. They integrate staking and rate arbitrage strategies for more than 52,000 tAsset users, while remaining composable across DeFi, supporting broader utility and interoperability within the ecosystem.

Together, DOR and tAssets form the critical infrastructure needed to support transparent, scalable fixed income markets on-chain, bringing transparency, predictability, and capital efficiency to decentralized finance.

About TREE

TREE is the native utility and governance token of the Treehouse Protocol. It serves multiple functions within the ecosystem, including:

  • Staking to support DOR Panelists via Pre-Deposit Vaults
  • Participating in governance for protocol upgrades and parameter changes
  • Earning protocol rewards and consensus payouts based on forecast accuracy
  • Paying on-chain fees for accessing benchmark rate data

Treehouse is launching the TREE token with a community distribution of 10% via the GoNuts Season 1 rewards program. Eligible users can verify and redeem their allocation through the Treehouse Airdrop Checker on Gaia Foundation.

Token Details

Token Name: Treehouse Token
Symbol: TREE
Token Standard: ERC-20
Total Supply: 1,000,000,000
Initial Circulating Supply: [18.6% or 186,122,448.98]Contract Address: 0x77146784315Ba81904d654466968e3a7c196d1f3 (ETH & BNB)

For a full tokenomics breakdown, refer to the Tokenomics Documentation.

Strategy and Vision: The Decentralized Fixed Income Layer

“TREE represents more than a token; it marks the activation of on‑chain fixed income infrastructure,” said Brandon Goh, Co‑founder and CEO of Treehouse Finance. “Treehouse is delivering the foundational infrastructure for real capital markets to thrive on-chain, paving the way for structured products, fixed-term lending, and risk-managed strategies historically limited to traditional finance.”

Earlier this year, Treehouse announced its $400 million valuation following a successful funding round, a reflection of the growing institutional interest in fixed income within digital assets and confidence in Treehouse’s vision to build the decentralized yield layer for DeFi.

Looking ahead, Treehouse is focused next on expanding tAssets to new base chains and layer‑2 networks, while introducing derivative primitives such as Forward Rate Agreements (FRAs), supporting both institutional and DeFi-native use cases at scale.

About Treehouse

Treehouse, a digital assets infrastructure firm and the decentralized arm of the parent company Treehouse Labs, is at the forefront of revolutionizing the decentralized fixed income market. Treehouse Protocol introduces innovative fixed income products and primitives, starting with its first tAsset, tETH, a liquid staking token that empowers its users to participate in the convergence of on-chain Ethereum interest rates while retaining the flexibility to engage in DeFi activities.

Treehouse Protocol is also pioneering the Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR) consensus mechanism for benchmark rate setting, enabling a range of fixed income products and primitives into digital assets. Treehouse is dedicated to creating safer and more predictable return alternatives for both individual investors and institutions.

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 EggNest Complete system, designed to protect healthcare workers from scatter radiation in interventional suites
Egg Medical’s EggNest Complete system, designed to protect healthcare workers from scatter radiation in interventional suites

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.

About Egg Medical

Egg Medical is a global leader in radiation protection, founded with the goal to reduce the radiation exposure of healthcare workers who use x-ray imaging to perform life-saving diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for patients.

30 km/h Direct Impact Against 242 mm-high Obstacle: TIGGO7 CSH Passes Mexico Battery Scrape Test Without Critical Damage

MEXICO CITY, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On July 29, Chery’s flagship model TIGGO7 CSH successfully completed an extreme battery scrape test. Witnessed by Mr. Isac Mosqueda Montelongo, Representative of Notary Public 167 of Mexico City, industry experts and leading media representatives, the SUV struck a 242 mm-high spherical barrier at 30 km/h with 30mm of overlap depth—replicating dangerous high-altitude road scrape scenarios.

TIGGO7 CSH Undergoing Battery Scrape Challenge
TIGGO7 CSH Undergoing Battery Scrape Challenge

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.
