Pyth Network Partners with Integral to Democratize Access to Financial Market Data
The new partnership enables Integral's institutional clients to seamlessly become Pyth data publishers, making financial information more affordable and accessible to all
LONDON - May 7, 2025 (Bitwire) -- Pyth Network ('Pyth'), the universal price layer revolutionizing market data, today announced a new partnership with Integral, the leading currency technology partner to hundreds of global financial institutions. The collaboration marks a significant milestone in Pyth's mission to collect and distribute price data and rewrite the market data economy by making financial information affordable and accessible to all.
The partnership introduces a streamlined solution for institutional market participants to publish their financial market data to Pyth Network, which is currently home to over 1,200 active price feeds. Integral hosts this data on behalf of its clients, lowering the technical and logistical barriers that have historically prevented institutions from contributing to open data networks.
'The price of market data has been skyrocketing for decades—rising to record-breaking spending in 2024 alone,' said Mike Cahill, CEO of Douro Labs, a leading contributor to the Pyth Network. 'But, this 'old guard' model of exclusive access, premium pricing, and zero transparency is shifting. The 'new guard' model offers real-time feeds and affordable access for anyone, not just the elite financial powerhouses. This partnership with Integral demonstrates Pyth's commitment to growing this new model; they're working together to deliver the price of everything, to anyone, anywhere.'
Integral powers currency infrastructure for renowned institutions including Mizuho, Raiffeisen Bank, Pictet, and ODDO BHF. By partnering with Pyth, Integral will now bridge its traditional foreign exchange pipelines with decentralized finance, transforming centralized data sources into composable, on-chain assets.
'Integral has long been at the forefront of institutional trading technology, and our integration with Pyth Network reinforces our commitment to innovation and market accessibility,' said Harpal Sandhu, CEO of Integral. 'Through this collaboration, clients leveraging Integral's resilient and established crypto trading solutions can now become market data publishers on Pyth with no additional setup. This unlocks new opportunities for our clients to expand their presence in crypto while contributing to the broader ecosystem.'
The Integral partnership comes on the heels of other recent Pyth integration partnerships like Sygnum Bank, Kamino Finance, and CoinBase, as well as product feature updates to expand price feed coverage across markets, improve data accuracy by increasing access to multiple institutional sources, and broaden institutional participation in decentralized finance infrastructure.

Vantage Foundation Joins The Habbit Factory to Empower Young Voices Through Creative Confidence
LONDON, June 11, 2025 /CNW/ -- Vantage Foundation is proud to support The Habbit Factory, a London-based charity that uses the power of theatre and creativity to help children build self-confidence, resilience, and a sense of self-expression. This partnership reflects Vantage Foundation's commitment to community engagement and inclusive empowerment for young people – especially those from underserved or disadvantaged backgrounds. The Habbit Factory has been a champion of creative youth development for over 20 years. With a focus on inclusiveness and emotional support, the organisation designs theatre-based programmes for children and teens to improve public speaking, storytelling, and personal confidence. Today, the charity supports 156 young people through its membership programme and reaches hundreds more through school outreach and education partnerships. As part of its continued mission to uplift communities, Vantage Foundation volunteers joined The Habbit Factory's creative workshop, lending their time and energy to inspire the next generation. Among them was Ben Joseph, who brought his background in dance and performing arts to the session. "Many of these children come from disadvantaged backgrounds and may lack self-esteem or confidence," said Ben Joseph. "By earning their trust and creating a supportive space, we help them grow, express themselves, and discover who they are. The Habbit Factory is a safe and empowering place for every child, and I'm proud to have contributed to something so meaningful." The charity's impact is driven largely by volunteers – many of whom are former participants who return to give back. This cycle of mentorship and transformation lies at the heart of The Habbit Factory's enduring success. "We thoroughly enjoyed hosting the Vantage Foundation at The Habbit Factory. It was a meaningful opportunity for both teams to connect, share ideas, and learn from each other's approaches to community impact," said Lee Giles, Artistic Director & CEO of The Habbit Factory. "Supporting The Habbit Factory aligns deeply with our mission at Vantage Foundation," said Steven Xie, Executive Director of the Vantage Foundation. "We believe in building confidence through creativity and connection. Seeing our volunteers actively participate in such a powerful, community-led initiative reaffirms our commitment to creating meaningful impact in the lives of young people." Together, Vantage Foundation and The Habbit Factory demonstrate the incredible potential of partnerships rooted in compassion, creativity, and shared purpose. Through this collaboration, they aim to build a future where every child has not only the voice – but also the confidence – to use it. Vantage Foundation Vantage Foundation is an independent charitable organization launched at the McLaren Technology Centre in the UK in 2023. The foundation has partnered with organisations worldwide, including Grab Indonesia, the iREDE Foundation in Nigeria, Teach for Malaysia, and Instituto Claret in Brazil, to drive impactful social initiatives.

2026 BMW XM Review, Pricing, and Specs
Overview Some letters carry a lot of weight in BMW nomenclature, with "X" and "M" being two of the most significant badges in all of Bimmerdom. Xs are reserved for SUVs, while Ms mark the touch of the fabled BMW Motorsport division; put them side by side and you end up with the BMW XM super-SUV. With all-wheel drive and ample space for five passengers in a seriously lavish cabin, the X holds up its end of the bargain. The M is where things get tricky; its 738-hp plug-in-hybrid powertrain makes the XM Label a certified rocket, but it lacks the overall finesse expected of Bavaria's motorsport maestros. The sole trim on offer is a pricey proposition, especially considering the BMW X7 is more practical and nearly as capable for far less money. What's New for 2026? BMW has whittled down the XM lineup for 2026, ditching the entry-level XM and leaving the XM Label as the sole trim. The XM Label gets a few fresh exterior options, including a new BMW Individual Frozen Tanzanite Blue paint color, a revised welcome light animation, and a Jet Black finish for the 23-inch wheels. There are also new interior themes to choose from, combining three new hues of Merino leather with either brown or black accents. AC charging speed has also been increased, up to 11 kW from 7.4 kW previously. BMW says that production for the 2026 XM Label will begin in August. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2026 BMW XM is expected to start around $187,000. XM Label $187,000 (est) 0 $50k $100k $150k $200k $250k $300k The removal of the base XM trim from the lineup takes the guesswork out of selecting a trim. The 738-hp XM Label is the only option, and with a starting price of over $186,000, it's a pricey one. However, it does come loaded with luxury features, including leather upholstery, huge 23-inch wheels, a cool curved infotainment display, and a host of driver-assistance features. This content is imported from Third party. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. Engine, Transmission, and Performance A twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 isn't new to the BMW powertrain portfolio, but in the XM Label, it's partnered with an electric motor and a battery pack to create 738 horsepower. The XM uses a coil-spring suspension system that's augmented by adaptive dampers and active anti-roll bars. The resulting ride isn't as compliant and composed as we'd like, but in comfort driving mode it is acceptably absorbent. When set to sport, the XM's handling is responsive, but the ride gets stiff-legged. 0–60-MPH Times We haven't had a chance to sample the XM Label's acceleration yet, but when we tested a standard XM with 94 fewer horsepower, it delivered a 3.4-second sprint to 60 mph. BMW claims that the XM Label is capable of 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds, but with even the standard model besting that claim, we wouldn't be surprised if the Label's sprint time was closer to 3.2 seconds. We'll update this section when we have a chance to test it for ourselves. View Photos BMW Range, Charging, and Battery Life The XM's 25.7-kWh battery pack is said to be good for about 31 miles of electric-only range per charge, according to the EPA. BMW says the XM's onboard charger is now capable of juicing the battery at up to 11 kW on an AC charger, up from just 7.4 kW previously. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG The EPA hasn't released any fuel economy information for the 2026 XM yet, but last year's Label model received unspectacular ratings of 12 mpg city and 17 mpg highway despite its plug-in hybrid system. On our 75-mph highway fuel economy route, a standard XM bested its EPA estimate by returning 20 mpg when driving solely on the gasoline engine; when factoring in the 29 miles we drove on electric power, its result is an even more palatable 49 MPGe. We'll update this section when the EPA releases information on the 2026 model. For more information about the XM's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo Everything about the XM's cabin is high-end, including its optional vintage-look leather upholstery, which was first shown on a concept version of the SUV. The XM's cabin is strictly a two-row affair, and in place of a large panoramic sunroof, the XM can be had with a geometric-patterned faux-suede headliner that features dramatic fiber-optic lighting. An optional audio upgrade adds a Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System with tweeters that illuminate. View Photos BMW Infotainment and Connectivity A large, curved display stretches across two-thirds of the dashboard. The display serves as both a digital gauge cluster as well as an on-board infotainment center, and it runs BMW's latest iDrive 8.5 software interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and additional features such as SiriusXM satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a premium stereo system are included as well. Safety and Driver-Assistance Features Basic features such as automated emergency braking and lane-keeping assist are standard on all XM models, but more advanced tech, including an adaptive cruise control system with a lane-centering feature, is available too. For more information about the XM's crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include: Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Standard lane departure warning with lane keeping assist. Available adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature. Warranty and Maintenance Coverage BMW offers a competitive limited and powertrain warranty that is bolstered by above-average complimentary scheduled maintenance.

2026 BMW XM Comes Exclusively in 738-HP Guise and Charges Faster
BMW has dropped the base model from the XM's lineup for 2026, leaving only the 738-hp Label variant. The XM will charge more quickly than before, with BMW upping the maximum charging rate from 7.4 to 11 kilowatt. BMW will also offer a new Frozen Tanzanite Blue exterior color; production of the 2026 XM starts this August. The BMW XM and its aggressive snout debuted for the 2023 model year with a 644-hp plug-in hybrid powertrain, before adding the even brawnier Label variant for the 2024 model year. For 2026, the XM lineup reverts back to just one trim, ditching the base model and retaining only the 738-hp Label model. The 2026 BMW XM also receives a series of new optional colors inside and out, along with a faster charging rate for the battery. Just One Type of XM Since the entry-level XM is no longer, the combination of a twin-turbocharged V-8 and an electric motor will generate 738 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque in all XMs for 2026. The 4.4-liter engine is good for 577 hp on its own, while the transmission-mounted electric motor makes 194 hp. An eight-speed automatic transmission routes those motivating forces to all four wheels, allowing this behemoth to blast from zero to 60 mph in a claimed 3.6 seconds. However, in Car and Driver's instrumented testing, the 644-hp version leapt to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds; the Label is likely even quicker than BMW says. Top speed is limited to 155 mph, but opting for the M Driver's package unlocks a 175-mph maximum. This content is imported from Third party. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. View Photos BMW Along with simplifying the lineup, BMW has added a new optional BMW Individual color called Frozen Tanzanite Blue metallic. The 23-inch alloy wheels can also now be had in Jet Black, and BMW also implemented a new "Welcome Light Animation" that displays as the owner approaches and unlocks the car. There are three new BMW Individual interior color combinations for 2026. Two of these—Night Blue with Vintage Coffee accents and black with Vintage Coffee accents—are "full" Merino leather packages, meaning virtually every surface of the cabin is covered in the rich material. The last, Silverstone with black accents, is an "extended" Merino leather package, meaning some areas, such as the lower dash, do not receive leather upholstery. View Photos BMW Lastly, but arguably most importantly, BMW has increased the onboard AC charger from 7.4 kilowatts to 11 kilowatts, which will allow the XM to replenish its 26-kWh battery more quickly. BMW says production for the 2026 model year will kick off at its Spartanburg, South Carolina, plant in August, with pricing to be revealed later. The 2025 XM Label starts at $186,175, and we expect the price to rise only slightly for the 2026 model year.
