STOCKHOLM, Aug. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Neonode Inc. (NASDAQ: NEON) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023:

  • Operating expenses of $2.8 million, a decrease of 1.9% compared to the same period in the prior year.
  • Net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.11 per share, for the same period in the prior year.

THE CEO’S COMMENTS

“Our licensing revenues in Q2 were at the same level as in Q1 and 15% higher than in the same period last year, showing good stability. Our product sales revenues in Q2 were low and much below expectations, which we are addressing with different kinds of activities and changes in our strategies and tactics to ensure that we come back to a growth path for this business in the coming quarters”, said Dr. Urban Forssell, Neonode’s CEO.

“The changes we have started to implement include an increased focus on markets and sectors where we have good traction, supported by intensified marketing – both online and through participation in tradeshows and other types of events – to create beachheads from which we may continue to grow our licensing and products businesses. To help us drive these changes and become more effective in our marketing and sales efforts we have recruited experienced core competence to strengthen our sales and engineering teams in Stockholm. We remain optimistic about our ability to grow our business and return to profitability,” concluded Dr. Forssell.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 were $1.2 million, a 5.3% decrease compared to the same period in 2022. For the 2023 period, license revenues were $1.1 million, an increase of 14.8% compared to the 2022 period. The increase is primarily volume related as the global supply chain challenges related to semiconductor supply
shortages that hampered our printer and automotive customers’ production and sales for the last two years have improved and the demand for our customers’ products remains strong.

Revenues from product sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 were $0.1 million, a 60.0% decrease compared to the same period in 2022. The reason for the decrease is mainly low customer demand, which we are addressing with focused marketing and sales campaigns and updates to our partner network.

Gross margin related to products was 66.7% for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 55.7% in the same period in 2022. The gross margin for products is higher for lower order volumes and also varies with the product mix.
Our operating expenses decreased by 1.9% for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to lower payroll and related costs.

Net loss attributable to Neonode for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $1.5 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.11 per share, for the same period in 2022. Cash used by operations was $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily the result of less component purchases.

Cash and accounts receivable totaled $21.6 million and working capital was $24.0 million as of June 30, 2023 compared to $16.3 million and $19.1 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively.

Bybit Introduces API Access for On-Chain Earn and Flexible Savings

Published

on

bybit-introduces-api-access-for-on-chain-earn-and-flexible-savings

DUBAI, UAE, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, now offers API access for its On-Chain Earn and Flexible Savings products. Expansion to other Earn product types is currently in progress. Full technical specifications and integration instructions are available in the official API documentation.

This new integration gives institutional users and developers the ability to connect directly with Bybit’s infrastructure, enabling efficient, automated, and scalable management of their yield-generating strategies.

Bybit’s On-Chain Earn products allows users to earn rewards by participating in blockchain-based (or “on-chain”) financial opportunities such as staking and liquidity protocols. These products provide users with a DeFi-like experience by enabling interaction with smart contracts on public blockchains without the need for technical expertise. Staking in the crypto world often demands significant technical know-how and dedicated hardware, making it inaccessible for many. Bybit’s On-Chain Earn removes these barriers by handling the complexities behind the scenes — including gas fees, node operations, and reward distribution — so users can stake with ease and confidence.

An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a tool that allows different software systems to communicate. Bybit’s API allows developers and institutional users to programmatically access On-Chain Earn and Flexible Savings functions through their own platforms, enhancing customization and operational control.

“Bridging centralized access with decentralized opportunity is one of our core missions,” said Jerry Li, Head of Earn & Wealth Management at Bybit. “With API support for On-Chain Earn, we’re giving power users the infrastructure they need to build, manage, and fine-tune strategies with the speed and precision the market demands.”

The API offers structured access to key functions, including:

  • An overview of currently available On-Chain Earn products, with filters by token and product category (LST, non-LST, or Mint),
  • Detailed product data such as estimated APYs, staking terms, redemption timelines, minimum and maximum limits, exchange rates, and reward distribution mechanisms,
  • Historical and real-time tracking of staking and redemption,
  • Summaries of current positions and accrued rewards,
  • Programmatic access to eligible Earn products for subscription and redemption, tailored to each supported mechanism.

This release marks a key step in Bybit’s continued efforts to support advanced users with infrastructure that connects centralized tools to decentralized finance opportunities.

BTC Pricing Alert: Bitcoin Rebounds as Trump’s Trade War Comments Ignite Market Rally – Bybit x Block Scholes Report

Published

on

btc-pricing-alert:-bitcoin-rebounds-as-trump’s-trade-war-comments-ignite-market-rally-–-bybit-x-block-scholes-report

DUBAI, UAE, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest weekly crypto derivatives analytics report in partnership with Block Scholes. The report highlights a shift in market sentiment following upbeat remarks from US President Trump on trade negotiations with China, which coincided with a broad rally in both crypto and equity markets.

Earlier last week, Bitcoin showed signs of decoupling from US equities. Following the announcement of a 145% tariff on Chinese goods and comments from Trump, BTC climbed by more than 7% from April 21, 2025, alongside broader risk assets. Short-tenor implied volatility rose, and put-call skew turned upward by 5%, indicating that traders had been positioning for further gains at the time.

Key Highlights:

Perpetual open interest rises across tokens
Perpetual futures open interest climbed significantly by 20% last week, particularly for ETH. Trading volumes also increased, with April 7, 2025 recording the highest daily volume for the month. The spike followed Trump’s comment: “Forget markets for a second, we have all the advantages.”

BTC option open interest shows a mixed picture; put-call skew in short tenor sends positive signals

President Trump’s recent willingness to negotiate a trade deal with China’s President Xi triggered a relief rally across asset classes, including crypto. Bitcoin had already risen 7% since Apr 21, 2025 prior to Trump’s comments. Despite this rally, open interest in puts has outpaced calls, with options volume remaining relatively balanced.

It’s unclear if the demand for puts reflects a hedge against downside risks, or a bet against the upward movement. Meanwhile, perpetual funding rates are providing limited insight into sentiment. However, the recovery of the put-call skew at short tenors indicates that traders are seeking upside exposure to the rally — and are willing to pay for it.

ETH outperforms BTC by 1% in the past week, signals rebound expectations
ETH led last week’s rally in spot markets — a rare occurrence in past relief rallies. Options data shows ETH calls nearly double puts in open interest, with calls also dominating volume. This suggests traders expect ETH to close its recent performance gap with BTC and competing chains like SUI and SOL. ETH’s term structure also inverted again, reflecting expectations of near-term price action.
