Blockchain Press Releases
Growing Number of Industries Realize the Urgency for Ransomware Protection
FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary
PALM BEACH, Fla., July 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Various industry reports say that the ransomware protection market revenues are projected to continue to increase from today through 2030. And a growing number of industries, such as Healthcare are realizing the importance of ransomware protection. Ransomware is the biggest and most hazardous cyber threat, which gets installed on the duped person’s computer either by enciphering the files or by locking the complete system unless a ransom is offered or paid. Thus, to protect the systems and to overall enhance the security, the organizations have made investments greater than before particularly in securing the network, data, and endpoints from various advanced cyber threats and crypto-malware including ransomware. A report from Zion Market Research projected that the global ransomware protection market size was worth around USD 20.3 Billion in 2022 and is predicted to grow to around USD 73.9 Billion by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 17.5%between 2023 and 2030. The report said: “The advantages of ransomware protection services and solutions are not widely known among security experts. Systems are becoming increasingly distributed, adaptable, and diverse, which has resulted in a significant increase in the quantity of data collected for security services. As the amount of data created by various infrastructure components rises, it has become difficult for any IT organization to distinguish critical data from non-essential data. Moreover, security experts’ lack of familiarity with ransomware protection software and solutions is projected to limit their ability to take advantage of the global ransomware protection market prospects. Active Companies in the markets today include Healthcare Triangle Inc. (NASDAQ: HCTI), Health Catalyst, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCAT), Evolent Health (NYSE: EVH), Definitive Healthcare (NASDAQ: DH), NextGen Healthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXGN).
Zion Market Research continued: “Data leaks and other security breaches are occurring more often all around the world. Many companies from a variety of industries have experienced phishing attacks at some point. They affect security systems because loss is caused by various offline surveillance systems. Massive data loss is considerably different from average IT breakdowns. Security against ransomware reduces the risk that an attack will be successful, reduces the window for recovery for enterprises, and removes the potential of a prolonged company shutdown.”
Healthcare Triangle Inc. (NASDAQ: HCTI) BREAKING NEWS: Healthcare Triangle Launches Ransomware Initiative Aimed at Protection and Prevention for Healthcare Providers – Company to educate and guide best practices for maintaining resiliency in the face of increasing ransomware attacks in healthcare – Healthcare Triangle Inc. (“HCTI” or the “Company”), a leader in digital transformation solutions including managed services, cloud enablement, and data analytics for the healthcare and life sciences industries, today announced its launch of a new initiative aimed at preparing healthcare organizations with critical tools and guidance for preventing and responding to ransomware incidents.
Ransomware attacks on the U.S. healthcare sector have more than doubled from 2016 to 2021 and have exposed confidential and protected medical information of nearly 42 million patients. Most recently, CalPERS and CalSTRS, the nation’s two largest public pension funds, were attacked with a data breach that exposed personal information on 1.2 million government retirees and beneficiaries. In May, Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Health experienced a similar cyberattack and data breach. Both incidents have been attributed to a Russian hacker group known as the Cl0p ransomware syndicate. Meanwhile, while large institutions and healthcare systems address major attacks, rural hospitals particularly vulnerable to risk are facing significant budget constraints for ransomware protection and need assistance from the federal government. In response, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley’s “Rural Hospital Cybersecurity Enhancement Act” passed through committee on June 14, 2023, and now heads to the Senate floor. Healthcare Triangle applauds this and other actions by the U.S. Congress to address the growing threat of ransomware attacks, including the work of the Joint Ransomware Task Force (JRTF), an interagency effort to reduce ransomware.
Lena Kannappan, head of business, strategy and partnerships for Healthcare Triangle, stated, “Generative AI and data modernization technologies can play a key role in improving patient outcomes and streamlining healthcare operations. However, looming ransomware threats can severely impact patient care, disrupt operations, cause financial losses, put community lives at risk, and force hospitals to shutter operations. With our new ransomware initiative, our Company’s goal is to take a proactive leadership role in educating and equipping rural hospitals, community hospitals, and large health systems in need with critical resources for improving their preparedness, prevention, detection, response, and recovery from ransomware incidents. We are engaged in discussions with several healthcare systems about this initiative and look forward to raising awareness and delivering robust, best-in-class solutions throughout the healthcare and life sciences industries.” CONTINUED… Read this full release for Healthcare Triangle at: https://www.healthcaretriangle.com/investors/

Blockchain’s evolution continues at breakneck speed, shifting from niche applications into mainstream finance, supply-chain integrity, and social impact initiatives. Today’s briefing spotlights five stories that illustrate this maturation: Cardano’s seamless asset integration in the privacy-focused Brave browser; a strategic partnership between Cokeeps and Maybank Trustees to bring tokenized wealth management to institutional clients; Ripple’s leadership framing blockchain as the dismantler of traditional banking silos; the UNDP’s pilot using distributed ledgers to improve HIV treatment tracking across Eurasia; and a novel IoT-blockchain collaboration to authenticate fine wines end-to-end. In this op-ed–style roundup, we analyze not only the mechanics of each announcement but also their broader implications for Web3’s scaling, DeFi’s credibility, and blockchain’s social-good potential.
1. Cardano Integrates Native Blockchain Assets into Brave Browser
What Happened
On May 13, Cardano foundation engineers unveiled a collaboration with Brave Software to natively support Cardano blockchain assets—ADA tokens and native tokens—within Brave’s wallet panel. Users can now view balances, send ADA, stake directly, and interact with back-end metadata for Cardano NFTs, all without leaving the Brave interface. This move follows Brave’s earlier Ethereum and Solana integrations, signaling a multi-chain future for privacy-centric browsers.
Analysis & Implications
-
User Experience Leap: By embedding Cardano functionality at the browser level, Brave eliminates friction for onboarding new users who would otherwise juggle external wallets or browser extensions. Easier access to staking and NFT markets could drive stronger engagement for Cardano’s ecosystem.
-
Multi-Chain Convergence: Brave’s strategy underscores the shift from siloed blockchain apps toward unified, chain-agnostic user experiences. As Web3 users demand seamless access across protocols, wallets and browsers will compete to offer the most inclusive multi-chain dashboards.
-
Cardano’s Market Position: For Cardano, this integration is a validation of its low-fee, high-throughput value proposition. While Ethereum remains dominant in DeFi and NFTs, Cardano’s energy efficiency and growing dApp roster may attract users seeking alternatives—especially if wallet UX barriers continue to fall.
Opinion
Brave’s embrace of Cardano assets exemplifies the coming era of “wallet-agnostic” access, where the browser becomes the front door to multiple blockchains. For Cardano, it’s a critical trust signal that boosts on-ramps and could accelerate liquidity in its DeFi protocols. Yet success hinges on robust in-browser security and responsive UI design—any wallet bugs or performance lags will erode the trust this collaboration seeks to build.

2. Cokeeps & Maybank Trustees Develop Blockchain Asset-Management Solutions
What Happened
Malaysia’s Cokeeps, a digital-asset custody pioneer, has partnered with Maybank Trustees to design and deploy tokenized asset-management platforms for institutional investors. The joint solution leverages a permissioned blockchain to record ownership of tokenized bonds, real-estate funds, and alternative-assets, while integrating smart-contract–driven compliance checks and real-time audit trails.
Analysis & Implications
-
Institutional Adoption: By combining Cokeeps’s custody technology with Maybank’s regulatory expertise and trustee services, the duo addresses two perennial barriers to institutional crypto investment: custody risk and compliance certainty. This model could serve as a blueprint for other Asia-Pacific custodians.
-
Tokenization Benefits: Tokenized securities on a shared ledger can reduce settlement times from days to seconds, lower transaction costs, and open fractional-ownership models—broadening access to asset classes historically reserved for high-net-worth individuals.
-
Regulatory Alignment: Embedding KYC/AML logic into smart contracts ensures that every token transfer automatically enforces jurisdictional rules. As regulators worldwide demand transparent on-chain auditability, such integrated controls will become table stakes for institutional offerings.
Opinion
This collaboration exemplifies how established financial institutions can embrace blockchain without ceding control. Rather than disrupting Maybank’s trustee role, tokenization enhances it—transforming trustees from manual record-keepers into guardians of programmable assets. The real test will be scale: can the platform handle high-volume trading with uncompromised security and consistency? If so, we may see a wave of legacy banks repackaging their services through blockchain rails.

3. Ripple Board Member: “Blockchain Is Unbundling Banks”
What Happened
On May 14, Stuart Alderoty, a board member at Ripple Labs, declared in an industry webcast that blockchain technology is fundamentally “unbundling” traditional banking services—payments, settlements, custody, and compliance are each evolving into modular, chain-native offerings. He argued that banks will increasingly source best-of-breed infrastructure from fintech and blockchain providers rather than maintain monolithic, in-house systems.
Analysis & Implications
-
Modular Finance: Alderoty’s vision anticipates a composable finance ecosystem: banks orchestrate various on-chain services—liquidity pools, cross-border rails, automated KYC—via APIs, akin to how e-commerce platforms integrate third-party payment gateways and fraud-prevention tools today.
-
Competitive Pressure: Incumbent banks face competition not only from neobanks but also from protocol-level service providers (e.g., on-chain oracles, decentralized exchanges). To retain clients, banks must either build or partner to offer seamless, blockchain-enhanced products.
-
Industry Collaboration: Ripple itself underscores this shift: its On-Demand Liquidity service unbundles foreign-exchange and settlement from legacy correspondent banking, delivering real-time cross-border payments at reduced cost.
Opinion
The unbundling thesis places a premium on interoperability and standards. Without common protocols, financial services risk siloed “rails” that mimic today’s fragmented SWIFT-based processes. Collaborative industry consortia—like the U.K.’s Project Rosalind or Japan’s mHUB—will be crucial to define shared messaging formats and governance frameworks. For blockchain to truly disaggregate banking, ecosystem players must coalesce around open, secure standards.

4. UNDP’s Big Ideas: Using Blockchain to Fight HIV in Eurasia
What Happened
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched its “Big Ideas” pilot in Eurasia, deploying a blockchain-enabled platform to manage HIV treatment data across multiple countries. The solution uses a hybrid public-private ledger to ensure patient anonymity while providing authorized clinics and NGOs with secure, immutable access to treatment adherence records and drug-dispensation logs.
Analysis & Implications
-
Data Privacy & Integrity: The hybrid architecture combines zero-knowledge proofs on a public chain—verifying treatment events without exposing personal health information—with a consortium chain that controls participant permissions. This dual model balances transparency and confidentiality.
-
Cross-Border Collaboration: HIV programs often span regions with varying healthcare regulations. A shared blockchain registry simplifies data exchange, reducing duplication and ensuring each patient’s history is up to date, even when they move between clinics or countries.
-
Scalability & Sustainability: Running on energy-efficient proof-of-stake networks and leveraging off-chain data storage for sensitive medical records, the platform minimizes transaction costs while maintaining high throughput—essential for scaling across thousands of patients.
Opinion
UNDP’s blockchain pilot represents a maturation of social-impact use cases—from proof-of-concepts to production-grade systems. By prioritizing patient privacy and regulatory alignment, this model could extend to other health-data challenges, such as vaccine distribution or epidemic tracking. The key will be forging long-term partnerships between multilateral organizations, local health authorities, and blockchain providers to sustain and expand the network beyond the pilot phase.

5. Identiv, ZaTap & Genuine Analytics Digitally Authenticate Fine Wines
What Happened
Identiv, ZaTap, and Genuine Analytics have unveiled a joint solution that employs specialized IoT tags and blockchain to verify the provenance of fine wines. Each bottle is fitted with a tamper-evident sensor that records temperature, humidity, and location data onto a permissioned ledger. Consumers can scan an NFC-enabled label to view the wine’s end-to-end history—from vineyard pressing to cellar aging and global shipping.
Analysis & Implications
-
Counterfeit Mitigation: The fine-wine market suffers from widespread fraud, with counterfeit bottles estimated to comprise up to 20% of high-end sales. Immutable provenance records and sensor-backed condition reports significantly raise the bar for authenticity verification.
-
Consumer Trust & Engagement: Beyond security, the solution enhances the collector experience—buyers gain confidence in their purchase and a richer narrative around each vintage’s journey, potentially commanding higher resale values on secondary markets.
-
Cross-Industry Potential: This IoT-blockchain fusion can be adapted for other luxury goods—artworks, haute horlogerie, or premium spirits—where provenance and condition are paramount.
Opinion
By blending real-world data streams with ledger immutability, this collaboration exemplifies blockchain’s most compelling value proposition: trusted digital twins of physical assets. However, the system’s integrity depends on robust IoT security—if sensors are spoofed or tampered with, the chain of trust breaks. Stakeholders must therefore enforce secure tag provisioning, periodic audits, and tamper detection measures to uphold the solution’s credibility.
Source: PR Newswire
Conclusion
Today’s blockchain dispatch underscores a pivotal shift: decentralized ledgers are weaving into the fabric of finance, social impact, and supply-chain integrity. From Brave’s browser-level Cardano support to tokenized asset platforms, from the unbundling of banking services to health-data pilots and luxury-goods authentication, blockchain is proving its versatility and maturing beyond speculative markets. As on-chain and off-chain worlds converge, interoperability, security, and standards will determine which projects scale and which falter. For stakeholders across Web3, DeFi, and enterprise IT, the imperative is clear: embrace modular architectures, uphold rigorous governance, and focus on real-world value—only then will blockchain realize its promise of trust, transparency, and transformative efficiency.

DUBAI, UAE, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has recently released a weekly crypto derivatives analytics report in collaboration with Block Scholes, followed by an exclusive insights report with the spotlight on ETH’ great comeback.
With investors flocking to ETH following the Pectra upgrade, the research shed light on what every trader is asking: will the ETH rally last? Leading the race since May 7, ETH has been a tour de force with wild gains dwarfing that of BTC’s.
Key Highlights:
- It wasn’t just Pectra: The new insights report by Bybit, published on Tuesday, attributed ETH’s “landmark surge” to drivers beyond the Pectra upgrade. A deep dive into underlying factors that built momentum for ETH’s breakout moment. Macroeconomic developments including signs of relief in the tariffs debacles created conditions for the broader markets to recover, while over $500 million in ETH short liquidations had an immediate and positive effect on its price performance.
The report also mapped out a change in leadership direction and Vitalik Buterin’s new vision for Ethereum, which include a package of reforms to streamline processes and boost efficiency and flexibility. With transition plans for existing projects, the leadership set out to build a more durable and scalable Ethereum blockchain with up to 100x throughput.
- ETH Outperformed BTC: In last week’s Bybit and Block Scholes report, ETH’s new high of single-day gain since 2021 outshone the top rest of the top ten cryptocurrencies. With the spike in implied volatility for short term tenors and ETH’s inverted term structure, crypto’s No. 2 currency won over derivatives traders placed $60 million more in calls than puts for ETH on May 8, 2025, in contrast to BTC’s muted structure.
ETH stood out in the rally across almost all indicators, radiating positivity from funding rates to the close to 10% put/call skew towards calls in the first week of May, a world apart from its 20% skew on the puts side only a month ago.
