In partnership with Ondo Global Markets, NYSE-listed equities and ETFs are now accessible to millions of eligible users across Europe directly via the Blockchain.com wallet

LONDON and NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Blockchain.com and Ondo Finance today announced an expansion of their partnership to offer real-world assets (RWAs) onchain to the European market. Eligible users across Europe can now gain direct access to regulated, tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs seamlessly within the Blockchain.com DeFi wallet.

Last year, through its DeFi wallet, Blockchain.com and Ondo Global Markets introduced over 200 tokenized stocks and ETFs to users in Africa and South America, offering onchain exposure to some of the most recognizable companies.

“By bringing U.S. equities onchain for our European users, we are providing self-custody solutions through our DeFi wallet that are faster, more efficient and completely self-owned that remain unmatched by traditional banks,” said Peter Smith, CEO, Founder and Executive Chairman at Blockchain.com. “Building on our momentum in Africa and South America through this partnership with Ondo, we are making a more inclusive and secure financial system a reality for millions across Europe and beyond.”

Since its launch in September 2025, Ondo Global Markets has seen explosive growth, reflecting the surging demand for institutional-grade assets on the blockchain. With a total value locked (TVL) surpassing $556 million and trading volume exceeding $8.7 billion, the platform is a dominant force in the Real World Asset (RWA) sector.

“Extending availability to users across the EEA through the Blockchain.com DeFi wallet allows Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs to reach a previously unavailable segment of the platform’s global user base,” said Ian De Bode, President at Ondo Finance. “We look forward to seeing how this expansion supports adoption as we continue to drive tokenization across global markets.”

This announcement marks a significant shift for European investors who can now access institutional-grade assets with the ease of a digital wallet, including:

• Users across 30 EEA states can now buy, sell, and hold over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs via the DeFi wallet.
• Assets are managed directly within the familiar Blockchain.com Wallet interface, removing the friction of traditional brokerage accounts.
• Amid strong performance in precious metals markets, Ondo Global markets offers onchain access to tokenized precious metals ETFs, including SLVon (Silver) and IAUon (Gold), enabling commodities exposure within its existing tokenized ETF lineup.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CathWorks, a global leader in digital health innovations, announced that the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) published an expert opinion discussing the expanding role of angiography-derived physiology (ADP), a wire-free method for coronary physiologic assessment. By applying different principles, in some cases in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI), ADP provides physiologic insights from routine angiograms, representing a paradigm shift in the catheterization lab.

Role of CathWorks FFRangio for the Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease Now Reinforced by SCAI Expert Opinion

The expert opinion focused on the technological differences between current FDA-approved ADP technologies and their peer-reviewed validation and outcomes studies. The CathWorks FFRangio^® System is a unique ADP that combines AI and advanced computational science to obtain physiologic information from three routine angiograms leveraging a resistance-based computational approach. “FFRangio is the only technology that provides multivessel FFR values across the entire coronary tree, including side branches. It also offers a simulated pullback to differentiate functional disease and supports PCI planning, which is more limited in other systems,” as stated in the expert opinion.

CathWorks FFRangio has demonstrated excellent diagnostic accuracy and promising clinical outcomes while eliminating the drawbacks associated with traditional physiology including the need for an invasive pressure wire, anticoagulation or hyperemic agents. In a pooled analysis of five prospective studies including the FAST-FFR pivotal study, CathWorks FFRangio demonstrated an excellent diagnostic accuracy of 93%.¹ CathWorks FFRangio has also shown comparable one-year major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rates to invasive FFR in both real-world registries^2-3 and the PROVISION randomized controlled trial (RCT) that included 400 patients.⁴

The SCAI expert opinion clearly outlines that ADP systems vary widely between imaging requirements, workflow integration and computational approaches and that clinical data should be interpreted in the context of platform-specific validation. The published document highlights that CathWorks FFRangio is the only FDA-approved ADP platform that:

• Provides comprehensive multi-vessel coronary physiology and a suite of PCI planning tools
• Demonstrated excellent diagnostic accuracy consistently across multiple peer-reviewed validation studies¹
• Showed comparable clinical outcomes to invasive FFR at one year in both real-world registries^2-3 and a RCT⁴

“With the rapidly expanding clinical evidence base for CathWorks FFRangio, we look forward to the U.S. and European guidelines incorporating peer-reviewed evidence-based technology specific recommendations that will broaden adoption of physiology overall, ultimately optimizing procedural decision-making and improving patient outcomes,” said Ramin Mousavi, President and CEO of CathWorks.

RIGA, Latvia, Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The President of Latvia, Edgars Rinkevics, visited Delska’s commissioned 10 MW data center in Riga on February 3, ahead of its official launch. Delska CEO Andris Gailitis and CTO Rihards Kaletovs presented the facility and discussed its role in supporting artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, as well as European digital sovereignty.

“Data centers located in Latvia are essential for the development of technology companies and for the country’s digital resilience. Therefore, it is important for the state to recognize not only the challenges but also the opportunities offered by data center service providers in strengthening Latvia’s competitiveness. What we have seen and discussed with the company’s representatives today demonstrates that the company has taken a forward-looking approach in planning the capacity of the new data center and developing a sustainable and energy-efficient infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted service provision for its clients,” said President Rinkevics after the meeting.

Already recognized by professionals and prospective customers, the facility is one of the most advanced data centers in the Baltics. The 7,100-square-meter modular site supports up to 250 kW of rack capacity and is designed for long-term growth, with secured grid power and the ability to expand up to 30 MW on acquired land.

Gailitis outlined global trends shaping the data center sector, including rapid adoption of AI and rising pressure on power availability in Europe’s established hubs. With capacity constraints, companies are relocating infrastructure to regions with energy access and room to scale. In this context, the Baltic states’ growing competitiveness as data center locations was highlighted. The new Delska facility, developed with an investment exceeding 30 million euros, demonstrates strong export potential and its ability to attract international customers.

Sustainability was a central theme of the visit. The data center is powered entirely by renewable energy from Northern European wind farms, solar parks, and hydroelectricity, likewise all Delska facilities in Latvia and Lithuania. Backup generators run on Neste MY Renewable Diesel, while electricity generated during maintenance will be redirected to consumers to reduce waste. Delska is in discussions with Riga’s municipal heating company on waste heat reuse to supply residential buildings.

Built to achieve power usage effectiveness below 1.3, the facility uses hot-aisle containment, advanced free-cooling solutions, Weiss Technik Vindur® CoolW@ll systems, and Trane chillers. It supports both air and direct-to-chip liquid cooling for high-density GPU workloads.

The data center is Uptime Institute Tier III Design certified and is scheduled for Tier III Facility Certification in March. The official opening event for EU North Riga LV DC1 is scheduled for April 8.

About Delska

Delska is one of the leading data centers operators in the Baltic region, with 26+ years of experience in IT and network infrastructure. The company provides cloud, server rental, colocation, network, security, and managed services, and operates 19 MW facilities in Latvia and Lithuania.
