Little Spoon Becomes The First and Only Baby Food Maker In the U.S. To Publicly Set EU-Aligned Safety Standards and Share Test Results for Heavy Metals, Pesticides + Plasticizers

Little Spoon

In a groundbreaking move for the baby food industry, Little Spoon, the largest online baby and kids food company in the United States, today becomes the first and only brand in the country to unveil its testing standards and results for heavy metals, pesticides and plasticizers, making a commitment to never sell any product that falls short of its strict limits. The launch of this significant transparency initiative comes in response to the ongoing national discussion about baby food safety, the urgent need for stricter industry standards, and staggering statistics from a recently commissioned study of 2,000 American parents with children under 2 years old. As national conversations on baby food safety rapidly gain steam, it has become impossible to ignore the concerning headlines on toxic levels of heavy metals, grocery store brand misinformation and deteriorating consumer trust. Little Spoon partnered with Talker Research to conduct a survey of 2,000 American Parents to pulse check the needs and standards of American parents, and the results uncovered astonishing levels of mistrust and concern around industry safety, federal regulations, and overarching brand commitment. In fact, 95% of parents agree that baby food brands should be doing more to address baby food safety concerns— and only 9% report a ‘high degree’ of trust in baby food companies. “Quality nutrition and confidence in the products that fuel your family are rights, not privileges.” said co-founder and CEO, Ben Lewis. “We view this as a fundamental responsibility for our industry and a key reason why Little Spoon exists in the first place. The standards for children’s food in the U.S. are maddeningly low. Parents deserve better, and we are doing our part to finally deliver what they deserve.” Established to bring change to a century old industry, Little Spoon is once again raising the bar in the category by testing and sharing results for every batch of baby food for 500+ contaminants including heavy metals, pesticides, glyphosate and plasticizers. With no current federal regulations set for limiting the levels of chemical contaminants in baby food in the U.S., Little Spoon has aligned its testing standards for heavy metals with the European Union (EU), a long-standing, trusted standard for safety and excellence in the baby space. Consumers can see exact testing limits for each contaminant through a dashboard viewable for every Babyblend product on the brand’s website and can confidently purchase products knowing Little Spoon will not sell any products that do not meet these standards. “This generation is plagued by concern regarding baby food safety — and for good reason.” said co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Little Spoon, Angela Vranich. “We have always crafted our products with the utmost care, using certified organic ingredients and differentiated processing. We knew we could meet the rigorous EU testing limits for heavy metals in our baby food, and it quickly became our obsession to provide the level of transparency parents truly deserve.” To draw further attention to this crucial issue for Little Spoon consumers and parents nationwide, the ‘Little Spoon, Big Change’ initiative will be driven by a comprehensive 360-degree marketing campaign launching today. Designed to meet parents’ growing demands for transparency and baby food safety, the campaign will feature media partners, celebrities, tastemakers, and experts including an expanded advisory panel which now features world-class experts in public policy and academics specializing in heavy metals. As a topic often fraught with fear mongering tactics, Little Spoon is leveraging experts, educators and a new AI-powered chatbot on their site to provide education for parents and support the wide-ranging questions that come with baby food safety. "We won't see large-scale changes until companies like Little Spoon take action," said Dr. Bruce Lanphear, an advisor to Little Spoon who studies childhood exposure to toxic chemicals. "Companies don't need to wait for regulations—they can lead the charge.” Test results for every Little Spoon Babyblend, alongside detailed ingredient sourcing information are now available on LittleSpoon.com, with plans to roll out additional transparency measures for their robust portfolio of products in the coming months. For complete details on the ‘Little Spoon, Big Change’ initiative including Little Spoon’s testing process, regulation limits, test results, and overall commitment to baby food safety, please visit LittleSpoon.com and follow @littlespoon on Instagram. Little Spoon is the leading direct-to-consumer kid’s food brand on a mission to make parents' lives easier, and kids healthier through high-quality, accessible feeding solutions from baby’s first bites through the big kid years. Little Spoon is conveniently delivering the future of kid’s food right to parent’s doorsteps with integrated products that age with your child through a portfolio of freshly-made baby food, early finger foods, toddler + big kid meals, and snacks that meet the modern standard on quality, nutrition and value. Since launch, the company has delivered more than 50 million meals, helping to simplify the lives of hundreds of thousands of parents across the U.S.. With more than 90% of new parents identifying as millennials, Little Spoon is here to disrupt the +$100B children's health and wellness market, offering modern solutions, trusted resources, and new ways to connect with a network of advisors and parents just like you.

How To Gain Exposure To The Critical Materials Powering Artificial Intelligence And Meeting Growing Energy Demands Through Sprott ETFs

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga For risk disclosures and other important information about the ETFs discussed below, please refer to the end of this article. The technological landscape is expanding, with AI poised to play a crucial role in the next generation of computing. With many notable companies establishing or integrating AI capabilities into their technological infrastructure, a common realization has been the high energy cost associated with AI development, particularly concerning data centers. Against this backdrop, many firms are exploring new energy sources, which rely heavily on critical materials such as copper, uranium, nickel and lithium, to power their AI data centers. In turn, the growing need for energy to power AI data centers is increasing the demand for critical materials, which can potentially benefit investors that maintain exposure to them. AI And The Need For More Energy As the adoption and advancement of AI continue to accelerate, the demand for electrical power to sustain data centers – which support cloud computing, big data processing and AI algorithms – is also on the rise. As reported by the International Energy Association, data centers’ electricity demands are forecasted to grow 258% from 2023 to 2030. Therefore, the electricity demand from global data centers is expected to increase from 1.2% of global electricity supply to 4.1%. With the creation and usage of generative AI tools across many industries, hyperscale data centers – a specialized category of data center designed to power immense amounts of digital information and computational tasks – have become a point focus for many. As noted in a recent World Economic Forum article, AI requires significant computing power, and generative AI systems might already use around 33 times more energy to complete a task than task-specific software would. Simply put, the iterative learning that is innate to generative AI systems means they can never be turned off, resulting in their high energy consumption. Using Sustainable Energy As A Power Source Of AI Development Recognizing the high energy requirements for AI data centers, big tech firms such as Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT)* are among the first to explore using sustainable energy sources, including wind and solar, to power their business operations, such as data centers. As detailed in a recent report from Sprott ETFs, Microsoft recently inked a deal with Brookfield Asset Management for more than $10 billion to develop renewable energy capacity to help power data centers. Under the agreement, Brookfield will deliver 10.5 gigawatts of renewable energy to Microsoft between 2026 and 2030 in the U.S. and Europe. Google has also invested billions in data centers over the last several years, bringing its current total to 23 data centers in 15 states. Furthermore, Amazon Web Services recently acquired a 960-megawatt nuclear-powered data center in Pennsylvania from Talen Energy. While Amazon’s acquisition of a nuclear-powered data center may seem excessive to some, it circumvents a problem inherent to solar and wind energy – they are intermittent in nature. As such, firms are now exploring nuclear energy as a viable power source. Nuclear power can help fulfill the massive electricity needs of AI. Small modular reactors (SMRs) are advanced nuclear reactors with a power capacity of up to 300 Megawatts electrical (MWe) per unit – about one-third of the generation capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors. SMRs can produce a large amount of low-carbon electricity and are becoming a source of energy for AI data centers. Gaining Investment Exposure To Critical Materials As big tech firms find different avenues to power their data centers, there may be increased demand for the critical materials needed to generate, transmit and store cleaner energy. This may present an opportunity for some investors, as having material exposure to these essential resources allows them to benefit from the gradual price appreciation that may occur. Sprott Copper Miners ETF Copper’s exceptional electrical conductivity and contribution to energy efficiency make it a critical element in energy transmission. As the global economy moves toward decarbonization and electrification, emerging clean-energy technologies will likely require significantly more copper than traditional systems. For investors looking to gain exposure to copper, both the Sprott Copper Miners ETF (NASDAQ: COPP) and Sprott Junior Copper Miners ETF (NASDAQ: COPJ) provide pure-play exposure to a broad range of copper miners potentially positioned to capitalize on the increased demand for copper and its usage in electrification. Though both funds share a thematic focus on capitalizing on the growing demand for copper and its integral role in transitioning to a carbon-neutral society, COPP provides comprehensive exposure to mining companies across the large, mid- and small-capitalization spectrum. In contrast, COPJ predominantly focuses on small copper miners, with the potential for significant revenue and asset growth. Sprott Uranium Miners ETF The growing demand for energy globally and the need to move away from fossil fuels seem to be setting the stage for nuclear power. The appeal of nuclear power starts with its reliability, as the intermittent nature of solar and wind energy does not allow for surety in long-term power generation. Regarding safety, nuclear power plants have advanced in recent decades and the technology has evolved so that plants operate and maintain reactors more efficiently. This translates to fewer, shorter disruptions in the reactors’ consistent production of electrical power. Finally, nuclear power is clean, as it generates the lowest greenhouse gasses of any power source. Essential to nuclear energy is uranium, a very heavy metal that can be used as an abundant source of concentrated energy for nuclear reactors. Both the Sprott Uranium Miners ETF (ARCA: URNM) and Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF (NASDAQ: URNJ) provide investors with exposure to companies in the uranium mining industry, which may include mining, exploration, development and production of uranium or holding physical uranium, owning uranium royalties, or engaging in other, non-mining activities that support the uranium mining industry. The underlying index which URNM tracks, the North Shore Global Uranium Mining Index, reflects companies that devote at least 50% of their assets to the uranium mining industry. Meanwhile, URNJ reflects the performance of mid-, small- and micro-cap companies in uranium mining-related businesses. Sprott Nickel Miners ETF One of the things that data centers need during periods when they might not have excess energy if they’re using solar or if there are other infrastructure problems is battery backups. Innovation within battery design seems to be proving that nickel-zinc battery chemistry has a high energy efficacy rating, resulting in a much denser battery, which means it takes up less space – which is at a premium inside AI data centers and can operate at a much higher temperature. The Sprott Nickel Miners ETF Fund (NASDAQ: NIKL) aims to capitalize on the growing demand for nickel and the integral part it will play in the transition to a carbon-neutral society. The ETF tracks the Nasdaq Sprott Nickel Miners™ index, which is designed to track the performance of a selection of global securities in the nickel industry, including nickel producers, developers and explorers. Sprott Energy Transition Materials ETF For investors seeking comprehensive exposure to the entire critical minerals landscape, the Sprott Energy Transition Materials ETF (NASDAQ: SETM) facilitates this investment action through a broad-based selection of global securities in the energy transition materials industry. SETM tracks the performance of the Nasdaq Sprott Energy Transition Materials™ Index, which reflects companies that have exploration, investment and economic ownership over energy transition materials. The index generally consists of 100 to 200 constituents, indicating the investment breath and diversity that will be present in the ETF. Investing In Critical Materials At A Crucial Point In Time As more companies express interest in and commit capital to AI development, there may be an increasing demand for energy sources to power their initial establishment and ongoing operational maintenance. With many big tech firms utilizing clean energy in AI data centers and global decarbonization goals, critical materials – such as copper, uranium and nickel – are necessary for this energy transition to occur and could grow in value over time due to their limited availability, geographical concentration of production, vulnerabilities in the supply chain and the absence of easily accessible substitutes.

MicroStrategy: A Potential Bitcoin Proxy? Now You Can Trade Its Moves With Leveraged MSTR ETFs

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Looking for Bitcoin exposure with a boost? Click here to learn about the T-Rex 2X Long and Short MSTR Daily Target ETF. When it comes to cryptocurrency exposure, indirect can sometimes be best. Sure, you can buy Bitcoin and try to time the market to make a simple profit. Or, if you’re a savvy trader, you may want to consider a leveraged bet. After all, Bitcoin is volatile, enabling investors to make money on both the upside and the downside. REX Shares has released two funds that offer the opportunity to do exactly that. REX Shares recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a new 2x-leveraged MicroStrategy ETF, the T-Rex 2X Long MSTR Daily Target ETF, which will track the daily performance of MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR) multiplied by 200%. There is also the T Rex 2X Inverse MSTR Daily Target ETF which seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the inverse (or opposite) of the daily performance of MSTR. With these two ETFs, bears and bulls can get in on the Bitcoin ride both up and down. It’s worth noting that the fund isn’t suitable for all investors; it’s designed to be used only by knowledgeable investors who are able to understand the possible consequences of seeking daily inverse (-2.0X) investment results and the risks associated with the use of shorting, and who are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The fund isn’t intended for, nor appropriate for, investors who won’t be actively monitoring and managing their portfolios. For periods longer than a single day, the fund will lose money if the Reference Assets’ performance is flat, and it is possible that the fund will lose money even if the Reference Assets’ performance decreases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of their investment within a single day if the price of the Reference Assets goes up by more than 50% in one trading day. The fund only intends to use reference assets that are traded on a U.S. regulated exchange. MicroStrategy’s Large Bitcoin Exposure So why MicroStrategy? The software company happens to be an early and big holder of Bitcoin. It currently owns 226,500 BTC – valued at nearly $13 billion – and is in the market for more. Earlier this month, MicroStrategy announced a plan to issue $700 million in notes due in 2028 to purchase additional Bitcoin. Given its heavy exposure to Bitcoin, MicroStrategy is known for its volatility, which many leveraged traders see as a positive. As of September, MicroStrategy’s 30-day implied future volatility was at a mean of 0.8466. The volatility can be so high with MicroStrategy that Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said on X that the new funds will be the most volatile ETFs ever in the United States, calling it the "ghost pepper of ETF hot sauce." Seek to boost your Bitcoin returns with leveraged ETFs from REX Shares. REX Shares says that investing in a MicroStrategy leveraged ETF can offer a distinct way to gain amplified exposure to both MicroStrategy’s core business and its Bitcoin holdings. Compared to a regular Bitcoin ETF, a leveraged ETF provides magnified daily returns (2x or -2x) on MicroStrategy's stock, which often correlates with Bitcoin’s price. This, the company argues, can make it appealing to investors looking for short-term, high-risk/high-reward opportunities that mirror Bitcoin’s movements but also incorporate the performance of MicroStrategy’s software business, adding another layer of potential upside or downside. Understanding Leveraged ETFs Leveraged ETFs are funds that use debt or derivatives to increase the returns of a stock, bond, index or currency. They can generate returns quickly, often more than the tracked index or assets, and can also provide a way for investors to hedge against a stock going up or down. A traditional ETF seeks to match the index it is tracking on a one-to-one ratio by holding the stock in its fund. A leveraged ETF aims to amp up those returns to a two-to-one or three-to-one ratio by using debt or financial derivatives including option contracts to boost the returns on a daily basis. Rex Shares says it believes Bitcoin is perfect for this, given its volatility. Whether bullish or bearish on Bitcoin, these ETFs may help traders easily engage with the asset’s growth patterns. However, while the leverage can translate to amplified gains, it can also similarly lead to magnified losses. These ETFs are best suited for those who can actively manage the inherent risks of leverage and are looking to capitalize on short-term trends, and daily leveraged ETFs should not be held for a period longer than one day. So far in 2024, Bitcoin has been volatile, enjoying huge runups and declines. Despite it all, Bitcoin was up 35% year to date as of Sep. 10 and 464% higher over a five-year period. Supply and demand, investor sentiment, government actions and regulations, fraud and media hype closely influence Bitcoin’s performance. All that creates volatility which presents an opportunity for sophisticated investors to make money. That hasn’t been lost on MicroStrategy investors. The stock sports a market cap of about $24 billion and is up over 750% over the past five years. The Best Of Both Worlds With T-Rex’s latest ETF, investors can get exposure either way – whether they think Bitcoin prices will decline or rise. They’re not the only ETFs that give T-Rex customers Bitcoin exposure. In July, REX Shares, in collaboration with Tuttle Capital Management launched the T-REX 2X Long Bitcoin Daily Target ETF (BATS: BTCL) and the T-REX 2X Inverse Bitcoin Daily Target ETF (BATS: BTCZ), providing 200% and -200% exposure to Bitcoin’s daily performance. “Bitcoin’s meteoric rise in 2024 has captured the attention of investors and traders worldwide,” Scott Acheychek, COO of REX Financial, REX Shares parent company, said at the time. "By launching 2X leveraged and inverse Bitcoin ETFs, we’re arming traders with powerful tools to capitalize on Bitcoin’s price swings like never before." Investor appetite for cryptocurrency-focused investment products has been growing since Bitcoin exchange-traded products designed to track the performance of Bitcoin debuted in January. Since then, spot Bitcoin ETFs have amassed $61 billion in assets under management. REX Shares plans to capitalize on the trend with its Bitcoin-focused leveraged ETFs.

Investing in the Funds is not equivalent to investing directly in the ‘Reference Assets’. The Fund will not invest directly in Bitcoin or directly short Bitcoin. Investment Risks: Investing in the Funds involves a high degree of risk. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Funds. An investor should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about REX Shares. To obtain a Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus call 844-802-4004. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing. The Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective.Investing in a REX Shares ETF may be more volatile than investing in broadly diversified funds. The use of leverage by a Fund increases the risk to the Fund. The REX Shares ETFs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk, consequences of seeking daily leveraged, or daily inverse leveraged, investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. For the complete disclosure statement, click HERE. The Fund has a daily investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from -200% of the Reference Assets’ performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments but has a more significant impact on funds that are inverse and that rebalance daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Daily Correlation Risk. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to MSTR and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. Industry Concentration Risk. The Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which MicroStrategy Inc. is assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that provide inverse exposure to the industry to which MicroStrategy Inc. is assigned). Bitcoin Risk. While the Fund will not directly invest in digital assets, it will be subject to the risks associated with Bitcoin by virtue of its investments in options contracts that reference MSTR. Fixed Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Liquidity Risk. Holdings of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. New Fund Risk. As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund has no operating history and currently has fewer assets than larger funds.

UNOS applauds House action to prohibit discrimination in organ transplants

United Network for Organ Sharing

Today, Maureen McBride, Ph.D., the CEO of the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), issued the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act. This legislation prohibits discrimination in organ transplantation against individuals with physical or intellectual disabilities. “The U.S. organ transplant matching system was created 40 years ago to serve every patient in need, which is why we strongly believe no one should be denied placement on the national waitlist solely because of his or her disability. We’re pleased to see the House pass this legislation, which advances our shared goal of ensuring equity for patients with disabilities in our nation’s donation and transplant system. Thank you, U.S. Reps. Kat Cammack and Debbie Dingell for your leadership. We look forward to continuing to work with you to ensure all Americans, regardless of their disability, have equitable access to organ transplants, and urge the U.S. Senate to quickly pass this legislation led by U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio and Maggie Hassan.” About UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the mission-driven non-profit serving as the nation’s transplant system under contract with the federal government. We lead the network of transplant hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and thousands of volunteers who are dedicated to honoring the gifts of life entrusted to us and to making lifesaving transplants possible for patients in need. Working together, we leverage data and advances in science and technology to continuously strengthen the system, increase the number of organs recovered and the number of transplants performed, and ensure patients across the nation have equitable access to transplant.
