Micro-Cap Biotech Skyrockets on FDA Pediatric Disease Nod
FDA approvals are often market-moving events, and today a micro-cap biotech company saw its shares surge after receiving Rare Pediatric Disease designation from the FDA.
Relief Therapeutics Holding SA (OTCQB:RLFTF) (OTCQB:RLFTY) announced this morning that the U.S. FDA has granted Rare Pediatric Disease (RPD) designation to its drug candidate RLF-TD011 for the treatment of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic skin disorder. This follows a previous Orphan Drug Designation for the same condition. RLF-TD011 is a hypotonic acid-oxidizing solution containing hypochlorous acid, developed to offer antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects while promoting a healing wound environment. The company has reported encouraging clinical results, highlighting the drug's potential to improve EB wound care by modulating the wound microbiome and reducing harmful bacterial colonization.
"The FDA's decision to grant Rare Pediatric Disease designation to RLF-TD011 underscores both the critical need for new options for patients living with EB and the potential of our investigational therapy," said Giorgio Reiner, chief scientific officer of Relief. "We look forward to continued engagement with the FDA and to sharing the next steps in our development plan following our upcoming pre-IND meeting."
The FDA grants RPD designation to product candidates targeting serious or life-threatening diseases that primarily affect individuals aged 18 years or younger and impact fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. Companies that receive marketing approval for an RPD-designated indication may be eligible-subject to certain conditions, including congressional reauthorization of the program for designations granted after December 20, 2024-to receive a Priority Review Voucher (PRV), which grants expedited FDA review for a future marketing application. These vouchers are transferable; in May 2025, a PRV awarded following the approval of a treatment for a rare form of EB was sold for $155 million.
Shares of RLFTF are surging on the news, currently up 49.62% at $3.89 while shares of RLFTY trade up 40.34% at $4.07 in late-morning trading.

rabbit Officially Launches its Second Product
Article content intern is an all-purpose AI agent that gives a person the abilities of an entire team, delivering high-quality, polished websites, research reports, presentations, games, and more Article content SANTA MONICA, Calif. — AI startup rabbit, a pioneer in delivering consumer-level agentic AI at scale, has officially launched its second product – rabbit intern, a true general agent that delivers high-quality, comprehensive, and visually refined output. intern is rabbit's first software product, in addition to the rabbit r1 AI-native hardware device that debuted last year. Article content 'Imagine having a superhuman ability to prepare a thorough research presentation, develop a full website, and conduct deep market research while you're out to lunch. That's the power of rabbit intern,' said Jesse Lyu, founder and CEO of rabbit. 'For most individuals it's impractical to think about hiring a full team from both a financial and operational perspective, managing all the back and forth communication and handling all the small details of a project. With intern, you have an unlimited team ready to work for you around the clock for less than $100 a month.' Article content rabbit intern is an all-purpose AI agent that transforms an individual into a pro team, with the superhuman ability to accomplish just about any task in minutes rather than days or weeks. Article content It delivers three core advantages: Article content True general agent capability: intern performs reliably across a wide range of tasks without users needing to worry about compatibility or limitations. While other agents see performance drops when specific tools aren't available, intern adapts and performs consistently. High-quality, comprehensive output: intern decides whether to research deeply or broadly based on specific task context, enabling more comprehensive and well-supported results with no loss of coherence or depth. Visually refined final results: Understanding that humans are visual creatures, intern delivers polished, visually appealing final output that feels more like crafted designs than raw text. Design principles are reflected in every detail, from website formatting to multimedia integration, making results easier to understand and ready to present. Article content intern is very simple for anyone to use. All you need to do is type in a prompt and hit enter. intern first interprets your goals based on the context of your prompt, decides what it needs to do, and ends by producing well-crafted, ready-to-use final outputs in the format you need. Possible output formats include websites, reports, presentations, documents, spreadsheets, games, and more. Article content Straightforward task-based pricing model that provides users with more value Article content Unlike competitors that use confusing credit systems that don't clearly translate into actual work completed, rabbit intern introduces a straightforward task-based pricing structure that eliminates complicated calculations for users: Article content Monthly plans of 30 tasks per month are available for $99.99/month. For a limited time, rabbit is offering an annual subscription of 30 tasks per month for $69.99/month, billed annually. Customers can also choose pay-as-you-go packs of 3 tasks for $29.99. Article content Anyone with a registered rabbithole account can try 3 tasks for free. A rabbit r1 device is not required to use intern and remains subscription free, as it has been since day one. Article content Lyu added, 'Other products out there may have cheaper monthly packages, but users have to deal with token or credit limits that are essentially only good for 2 or 3 tasks per month. It's impossible for a user to understand how many credits it costs for a complex task. We offer a much simpler system. With intern, users don't have to decide whether they want to compromise on quality. Our offering is straightforward, and our results are better.' Article content Interns for everyone, no coding skills required Article content Early rabbit intern users created tens of thousands of tasks during the free trial period beginning in April, with many of them sharing constructive feedback that helped to inform the product development for official release. They also shared stories highlighting how intern helped them with their projects. Here are some examples: Article content Conduct business research Article content : @rabbit_hmi intern might have just landed me a new client. My ICP is early stage startups that need help with their GTM strategy. I added 35 companies to a Gsheet and asked Rabbit Intern to add their LinkedIns and funding rounds. While intern was researching I scrolled Twitter :) ( Article content ) Article content Create presentation materials Article content : Powerful moment with @rabbit_hmi intern during a meeting today to pitch it for internal use. Asked people in the meeting a problem they are facing today. Submitted to intern. Meeting ended by presenting them a fully functional website with potential answers to the problems. ( Article content @PhoxStory Article content ) Article content Develop a software tool by prompt Article content : I built a hand tracking theremin in an hour with intern. This was probably the most mind-blowing thing I've seen ai do since Claude computer use! Great work guys! ( Article content ) Article content About rabbit Article content rabbit is an AI startup rethinking how humans and machines interact. The company is building an AI-native operating system, formed around robust cross-platform agentic capabilities and custom hardware that gives people access to the latest AI. They have released two products since their launch: rabbit r1, an AI hardware device that gives users unlimited access to the leading AI models and helps users get things done; and rabbit intern, an all-purpose AI agent that interprets users' goals based on the context of their prompt, decides what it needs to do, and delivers high-quality, comprehensive, and visually refined output.

GameStop Stock (GME) Crashes 18% as Company Raises $1.75 Billion for Bitcoin Purchases
The stock of GameStop (GME) is down 18% on reports the video game retailer plans to raise $1.75 billion to buy more Bitcoin (BTC). Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter As its video game sales have declined, GameStop has taken a page from Michael Saylor's company Strategy (MSTR) and moved to become a serial acquirer of Bitcoin. Along with its recent financial results, GameStop disclosed that it bought 4,710 Bitcoins between May 3 and June 10 of this year, a stake worth just over $500 million. Proceeds from the latest equity raise will be used to buy even more Bitcoin, the company said in a news release. GameStop's investment policy is to add BTC as a treasury reserve asset. The company first announced its Bitcoin treasury strategy in March of this year. Stocks Too? While management, led by CEO Ryan Cohen, has said GameStop is focused on acquiring Bitcoin, they have also said they may invest in stocks as well. GameStop's latest financial results were mixed, with earnings per share (EPS) of $0.09 beating Wall Street forecasts but revenue of $732.4 million falling short of consensus. News of the latest equity raise has sent GME stock down sharply on June 12. Many analysts, and some shareholders, have questioned the company's pivot to becoming a serial acquirer of BTC. So far in 2025, GameStop's share price has declined a total of 26%. Is GME Stock a Buy? Currently, only one Wall Street analysts offers a rating and price target on GME stock. So instead, we'll look at the stock's three-month performance. As one can see in the chart below, GameStop's share price has gained 30% over the last 12 weeks.
