Market Alert: Actelis Networks on a Roll - Secures Orange County Smart City Win Following Military Base Contracts

Global Markets News

Actelis Networks (NASDAQ: ASNS)*, a leader in cyber-hardened networking solutions, has secured a significant new order to modernize Orange County, California's intelligent transportation system (ITS) infrastructure, continuing the company's impressive momentum across multiple high-growth sectors. This latest win, announced today, builds upon Actelis' recent $140,000 order for U.S. military base modernization projects and follows strong full-year 2024 financial results that saw revenue increase by 38% and gross margins more than double. Orange County, California's third most populous county with over 3 million residents, joins Washington D.C., Seattle, and Ventura County in selecting Actelis' advanced networking technology for critical infrastructure upgrades. The order, placed through Actelis' long-standing partner Western Systems, will enhance traffic management across one of the nation's most heavily trafficked transportation networks. Actelis' hybrid-fiber technology delivers fiber-grade performance over existing infrastructure, providing both significant cost savings and dramatically accelerated project timelines—a combination that appears to be driving the company's recent string of contract wins across multiple infrastructure sectors. The Orange County contract comes just days after Actelis announced new orders to deliver its advanced GigaLine 800 (GL800) networking solution for U.S. military base modernization. These military orders will support Army installations with secure, high-speed connectivity for barracks, information centers, and other critical facilities. With Department of Defense-certified security including JITC FIPS certification, Actelis has positioned itself as a trusted provider for mission-critical defense networking applications. In late March, Actelis also announced an order from one of North America's largest railway groups to support Positive Train Control (PTC) implementation. This growing diversification across transportation, defense, and critical infrastructure sectors suggests Actelis' technology is gaining traction in markets where security and rapid deployment are paramount. The company's strong commercial momentum follows impressive financial results for fiscal year 2024, with revenue growing 38% to reach $7.8 million and gross margin expanding to 55% from 34% in the prior year. Actelis also successfully reduced operating expenses by 13% while shrinking its loss per share by 67% to $0.85. Following these results, Litchfield Hills Research's Theodore O'Neill reiterated his $5 price target and Buy rating on Actelis Networks, noting the company is "moving in the right direction – up and to the right" when viewed on a rolling four-quarter basis. The analyst highlighted that Actelis shares are trading at an 85% to 93% discount on sales measures compared to industry peers. With the global smart cities market projected to reach $300 billion by 2032 and the ITS segment expected to hit $65.33 billion, Actelis appears to be establishing a strong competitive position in rapidly growing markets for secure, rapidly deployable networking infrastructure. Recent News Highlights from Actelis Include: Actelis Receives Significant New Orders to Modernize U.S. Military Bases with Rapid Deployment, Cyber Hardened Networking (March 28, 2025) Actelis Networks Secures New Order from One of North America's Largest Railway Groups for Positive Train Control Implementation (March 27, 2025) Actelis Networks Reports Full Year 2024 Results: Revenue Sees 38% Growth Reaching $7.8 Million, 125% Increase in Gross Margin, Loss Per Share Shrinks by 67% to $0.85 (March 24, 2025) *DISCLAIMER: This article is published by Wall Street Wire, which operated multiple content brands.

Mercy Corps Ventures Introduces ETH Staking Donations to Fuel Blockchain for Financial Inclusion

Launchnodes LTD

Mercy Corps Ventures (MCV) is launching a new way for donors to support blockchain-based financial inclusion - by staking Ethereum. Through a partnership with Lido Impact Staking (LIS), supporters can now stake ETH and allocate a portion of their staking rewards to MCV’s Crypto for Good Fund, which backs Web3 startups tackling financial inequality in emerging markets. A Smarter Way to Give: Staking Rewards for Impact For years, Mercy Corps Ventures has been at the forefront of funding blockchain solutions that expand financial access - from decentralized lending platforms to transparent aid distribution systems. Now, through Lido Impact Staking, donors can contribute sustainably and continuously without giving up their principal capital. "We believe in harnessing the power of blockchain to create financial opportunities for those who need it most," said Scott Onder, Chief Investment Officer at Mercy Corps. "By allowing donors to stake ETH and contribute a share of their staking rewards, we’re unlocking a new form of philanthropic capital that supports the next generation of Web3 solutions for global financial inclusion." How It Works: Turning Staking Rewards into Social Impact Lido Impact Staking enables ETH holders to support impact-driven initiatives while continuing to earn yield on their assets. With this new model, MCV supporters can: ✅ Stake ETH and earn staking rewards ✅ Donate a portion of these rewards to the Crypto for Good Fund ✅ Help fund blockchain startups that drive financial inclusion This approach provides a long-term funding stream for projects focused on: 🔹 Banking the unbanked through DeFi solutions 🔹 Providing digital identity for financial access 🔹 Revolutionizing aid distribution with transparent, blockchain-based mechanisms Unlike traditional philanthropy, this model allows donors to give without depleting their principal assets, making it an efficient and sustainable way to fund impact-driven blockchain projects. Mercy Corps Ventures & Lido Impact Staking: Pioneering a New Era of Giving Mercy Corps Ventures has been a leader in leveraging blockchain for financial resilience since 2018. With its Crypto for Good Fund, MCV has partnered with over 30 protocols and startups to reach over 3,000,000 users and provide innovative financial solutions for underserved communities Lido Impact Staking (LIS) introduces a new way to fund social impact using Ethereum staking rewards, creating a sustainable model for crypto-powered philanthropy. This initiative builds on Lido’s liquid staking infrastructure, making it seamless for donors to support Web3 for good. Engaging Institutions & Crypto Communities This new model opens the door for institutional donors, corporate partners, and Web3 communities to fund meaningful impact initiatives in a capital-efficient way. Organizations that want to support financial inclusion through blockchain can now stake ETH and commit a share of their rewards to MCV - ensuring continuous funding for transformative solutions. Get Involved: Stake for a More Inclusive Future With Ethereum staking, impact-driven donations can scale like never before. Mercy Corps Ventures invites donors, institutions, and crypto supporters to be part of this movement and stake ETH for a future where blockchain technology empowers underserved communities worldwide. About The rise of Ethereum staking opened new possibilities, not just for yield generation but for sustainable, blockchain-powered philanthropy. Recognizing this potential, Launchnodes, a company that enables solo staking at an institutional level, pioneered Impact Staking. It is a model that channels staking rewards into funding high-impact initiatives without requiring donors to part with their principal capital. In 2023, the Lido Ecosystem Grants Organization (LEGO) provided support to develop Impact Staking middleware, seamlessly integrating with Lido’s liquid staking solution. This innovation laid the foundation for Lido Impact Staking (LIS) - a tool designed to redirect staking rewards toward social good, creating a continuous and scalable funding model for mission-driven projects. Today, LIS is forging partnerships with NGOs, social enterprises, and blockchain-for-good initiatives like Mercy Corps Ventures (MCV), which supports early-stage startups leveraging Web3 to increase financial access and economic resilience in underserved markets. Through Impact Staking, donors and institutions can provide long-term financial support to these projects, ensuring sustainable funding flows to solutions that drive real-world impact. By merging decentralized finance with social good, Impact Staking is proving that crypto can be a powerful force for economic empowerment, financial inclusion, and global resilience.
