What Red Hat announced

With today’s general availability of Red Hat Desktop, Red Hat is providing commercial support for the Red Hat build of Podman Desktop, creating a more reliable foundation for local container and AI development. Red Hat Desktop also includes capabilities for isolated AI agent sandboxing, an initiative designed to help developers execute and test autonomous agents in a protected sandbox on their local hardware, preventing unverified agent actions from affecting the host OS. Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite also adds new capabilities, including a trusted software factory, Red Hat Trusted Libraries and AI-driven exploit intelligence to modernize security across the software supply chain. These new features use AI to determine if known vulnerabilities in generated code are relevant to a specific application runtime, allowing developers to prioritize remediation based on actual risk. 

Why this matters

As the volume of AI-generated code increases, developers need a workflow that balances local experimentation with enterprise-grade deployment. Whether developers start locally with Red Hat Desktop or in a cloud-based development environment via Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces, they receive the same consistency and governance required for enterprise production. By unifying these environments and transitioning to production scale with Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat enables teams to treat AI agents as tier-one applications. This approach provides a security-driven path to production, enabling developers to move from experimental local sandboxes to verified, scalable innovation across the hybrid cloud. 

What Red Hat experts are saying

“The transition to agentic AI expands the requirements for modern application development,” said James Labocki, Senior Director, Product Management, Red Hat. “By establishing a trusted production path across the hybrid cloud with Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite and providing consistent environments through Red Hat Desktop and Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces, we’re helping developers accelerate and own their AI strategy with the same rigor they apply to their core IT applications.”

Key takeaways

• Standardized AI lifecycle: Red Hat provides a more consistent experience from local machines to the cloud, helping organizations move AI from experimental projects to repeatable production workflows.

• Maintain developer choice: Red Hat has expanded support in Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces, a Red Hat OpenShift feature, to include integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Kiro coding assistant (technical preview). This joins existing integration for Microsoft Copilot, Claude CLI and more, providing the flexibility to use preferred coding assistants and environments from local machines.

• Shift security left: Built on Red Hat Hardened Images and Red Hat Trusted Libraries (both available with SLSA Level 3 origin and integrity), these tools provide a software supply chain that is transparent and verifiable before code is even written.

• Sandbox-first testing: Developers can execute autonomous agents in an isolated environment, providing a safety layer to observe agent behaviors before cluster deployment.

Deeper details:

Red Hat Desktop and Podman integration
Red Hat Desktop delivers an enterprise-supported environment for local container and AI development centered on the hardened and supported Red Hat build of Podman Desktop. Developers can easily access the full library of Red Hat Hardened Images from their laptop, while connecting to local or remote OpenShift clusters for unit testing. This ensures that the container running on the developer‘s machine is architecturally consistent with the one running in production. Developers looking to test sandboxed AI agents can find more information at www.openkaiden.ai. 

Flexible coding assistants

Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces now provides an extensible framework that allows developers to integrate preferred AI-driven tools directly into their cloud-based IDE. This includes new support for the AWS Kiro coding assistant (technical preview), alongside existing integrations for Microsoft Copilot, Claude CLI, Cline, Continue, Roo and more. By supporting both proprietary and open-source assistants, Red Hat enables teams to use frontier models or host private models, helping to align developer productivity tools with corporate security and sovereignty requirements. 

Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite enhancements
The latest version of Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite introduces the developer preview of a trusted software factory based on accepted CNCF best practices and Red Hat’s internal build processes. This provides a standards-based CI/CD implementation that customers can use as-is or tweak and replicate to meet specific needs. Additional features include:

• Red Hat Trusted Libraries: Curated Python packages built on SLSA Level 3 infrastructure with added  software bill of materials (SBOMs) and cryptographic signatures to help provide a more transparent and verifiable software supply chain.

• Exploit intelligence: Developed using the NVIDIA AI blueprint for vulnerability analysis, this capability uses AI-driven code reasoning to determine if a vulnerable function is actually reachable in an application’s runtime environment. By isolating exploitable code paths from broader vulnerability data, Red Hat helps developers prioritize fixes that actually impact security.

Oral‑B today announces The Big Rethink 2026, the next evolution of its flagship oral health inclusion programme, developed in partnership with the International Association for Disability and Oral Health (iADH). The new phase introduces Project Steady, one of Europe’s largest real‑world studies exploring oral care experiences among people with disabilities, their carers and dental professionals. The programme aims to reduce everyday barriers to oral care through inclusive design, evidence-based research and professional education.

Oral health for Whole-Body Health

 

Since its launch in 2022, The Big Rethink has been grounded in a clear belief: oral health is fundamental to whole‑body health, confidence and quality of life. For people with disabilities, barriers to daily oral care can have wider health and social implications – making inclusion an essential part of improving oral health outcomes.

 

 

The mouth is the gateway to the body and therefore acts as a mirror to your overall health. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) oral disease affects nearly 3.5 billion people,¹ Oral-B is on a mission to make the invisible connection between oral health and whole body health visible and to empower people to take their health into their own hands.

 

 

A growing and unequal challenge

 

 

New research from the Oral-B European Disability Study 2025 reveal that 41% of Europeans identify as living with a disability, representing a four‑point increase wave‑on‑wave², driven by a broader range of visible and invisible conditions. Based on a survey of more than 9,000 adults across nine European markets³, the findings reveal a significant disparity in daily oral care experiences.

 

 

• 52% of people with physical disabilities and 63% people with cognitive disabilities report struggling with oral care, compared with 33% of non‑disabled people. These gaps highlight the need for oral health systems, services and tools to better reflect the realities of everyday life⁴.

 

Project Steady: One of Europe’s largest real‑world oral health studies

 

At the heart of The Big Rethink 2026 is a six‑month, multi‑country study gathering real‑world feedback from people with disabilities, their carers and dental professionals across Europe. The study known as Project Steady represents the next wave of The Big Rethink, focused on understanding lived experience and identifying practical ways to remove everyday barriers to oral care. The Europe‑wide study builds on learnings from an earlier pilot phase led by dental professionals, which highlighted how everyday usability challenges can disrupt oral care routines.

 

 

In the pilot case study of dexterity impaired patients run in February-March 2026 in collaboration with Dr Ana Molina, 90% reduced areas with high amount of plaque after one month of using the accessory with Oral-B iO2, with 40% also showing improved gum health⁵.

 

 

Consumer feedback highlighted practical everyday benefits, with consumers commenting:

 

 

• “Easier to hold and control for people with limited hand dexterity.”
• “More comfortable brushing experience.”
• “Helps clean more tooth surfaces and reach difficult areas.”

 

 

From insight to action

 

As part of the large study, participants will use Oral‑B’s iO2 electric toothbrush alongside a new adaptive accessory, designed to address two common, practical challenges to brushing:

 

 

• Control and ergonomics – improved grip, manoeuvrability and button access
• Stability and toothpaste application – helping prevent roll‑away and make toothpaste use easier

 

 

The expected outcomes are:

 

• A more accessible brushing experience, reducing everyday usability barriers
• Improved oral-health results, supported by real- world product performance
• Solutions shaped directly by lived experiences, informed by participant feedback throughout the study

 

 

Oral-B Disability Champion Programme

 

Oral-B has recently launched a test for 200 Disability Champions across Europe to test the adaptive accessory with respective patients

 

 

Oral-B launched the Disability Champions Award Programme as part of its ongoing mission to make oral care for accessible to everybody. In partnership with the iADH, the programme aims to make the dentist office experience across Europe more inclusive and positive for those with disabilities and their caregivers.

 

 

A long-term commitment to inclusion

 

 

The Big Rethink 2026 complements Oral‑B’s ongoing initiatives:

 

 

• Disability Champions programme, which supports more disability‑positive dental practices,
• iADH co‑created education programme designed to help dental professionals better support patients with disabilities.

 

 

By pairing large‑scale research with inclusive design and professional education, The Big Rethink 2026 marks a decisive step in addressing barriers to oral care and supporting better whole‑body health for more people.

 

Paolo Grue, Senior Vice President, Oral Care Europe, Procter & Gamble, said: “We are incredibly proud to be continuing and evolving The Big Rethink. Since its launch, it has shown that oral health is not an isolated issue – it is fundamental to whole‑body health, confidence and quality of life. With Project Steady, we are building on that commitment by launching one of our most ambitious research initiatives to date listening directly to people with disabilities and translating real‑world insight into practical, inclusive solutions. This is how we create real, lasting progress. When inclusion leads, better oral health and better overall health follows.”

 

 

Professor Pedro Diz Dios, President, International Association for Disability and Oral Health (iADH) said: “The link between oral health and general health is well established, yet many people with disabilities still face daily obstacles to basic oral care. Research of this scale, rooted in everyday experience, is essential if we are to develop evidence‑based solutions that genuinely improve oral health outcomes and advance health equity.”

 

 

Regina Rubio Odgers, Senior Scientist– Oral Care R&D, Oral‑B, said: “What we heard consistently through earlier phases of The Big Rethink was that small, everyday design challenges can have a significant impact on people’s ability to maintain oral care routines. This study allows us to take those insights into real‑world testing -ensuring solutions are shaped by lived experience and designed to work in everyday life.”

 

 

Dr. Ana Molina, Dental Professional and Clinical Lead, Oral‑B Pilot Study, said: “Running the pilot study showed us how small, practical barriers can quickly disrupt daily oral care routines. By testing solutions in real‑world conditions with patients and carers, we were able to generate insights that are directly relevant to both clinical practice and product development. This next phase allows those learnings to be scaled and strengthened.”

Elliptic, the global leader in digital asset decisioning, today announced the closing of a $120 million Series D fundraise led by One Peak, with participation from Nasdaq Ventures, Deutsche Bank and the British Business Bank. The round values Elliptic at $670 million.

 

These investors are among the most consequential institutions in global finance, together responsible for trillions in daily market activity, and they have placed their confidence in Elliptic. It is a signal about where the financial system is heading and who is trusted to underpin it, with Elliptic screening more of the global on-chain economy than any other private sector provider.

 

 

The fundraise will accelerate Elliptic’s mission to deliver the enterprise-grade on-chain analytics for the world’s largest and most demanding banks, fintechs, government agencies and crypto and payments companies in the world.

 

 

“As digital assets become more embedded in the global financial system, institutions need trusted infrastructure to manage compliance and risk at scale. Elliptic’s platform plays an important role in providing that infrastructure, helping firms navigate digital asset adoption with confidence and integrity,” said Gary Offner, Senior Vice President, Head of Nasdaq Ventures.

 

 

“The sustainable growth of digital assets depends on strong, institutional-grade risk and compliance foundations. For Deutsche Bank, these frameworks are critical to supporting the responsible development of the digital asset ecosystem and reinforcing trust as the market evolves. Our investment in Elliptic reflects our focus on strengthening these foundations,” said Sabih Behzad, Global Head of Digital Assets & Currencies Transformation, Deutsche Bank.

 

 

Over a decade of proprietary data, built for the AI-native age

 

 

Elliptic was first to bring AI-native compliance to enterprise scale in 2025, not as a feature, but as a fundamentally different way to run compliance operations. Today’s Series D funding will extend that lead. Elliptic has a structural advantage because of its data: founded in 2013, the company has spent over a decade building the deepest, most comprehensive proprietary dataset in the industry, spanning 65+ blockchains and refined through continuous collection and labelling of assets and entities.

 

 

Built on that foundation, Elliptic’s data and intelligence platform processes more contextual information per transaction than any competitor, enabling automated triage, faster decisions and significantly lower cost per investigation. The result is a compliance operation that can do more with less: alerts resolved in minutes not hours, human judgement reserved for where it genuinely matters, and the cost of compliance that falls as volume grows. This is what compliance teams at the world’s largest exchanges and financial institutions are up against. The promise of AI only holds if the data underneath it does too. Elliptic has spent thirteen years making sure it does.

 

 

Charlotte Lawrence, Managing Director of Direct Equity, British Business Bank said, “As institutional adoption of digital assets accelerates, the demand for scalable compliance solutions has never been higher. Elliptic pioneered the use of blockchain analytics to meet this challenge and has cemented its status as a global leader, screening over 1 billion transactions a week for 700+ customers in 30 countries. This investment also proves the British Growth Partnership is doing exactly what it was built to do: unlocking the explosive growth of UK technology scale-ups to deliver long term value for our pension funds.”

 

 

Stablecoins and tokenized assets are becoming foundational to global finance

 

 

Stablecoins and tokenized assets are no longer at the periphery of financial innovation. They are becoming the infrastructure through which value moves globally. In 2025, stablecoins processed $33 trillion in transactions¹, for the exchanges and crypto-native businesses that process the majority of this volume, real-time compliance at scale is not a future requirement, it is an operational necessity today.

 

 

Now we are seeing structural adoption driven by institutions, payments firms and corporate treasury operations building directly on digital asset rails. Elliptic provides the intelligence infrastructure to do so safely, at speed and ahead of regulatory expectations.

 

 

“One Peak invests in category leaders and the signal we trust most is what customers say. We spoke to leading institutions from across all segments of the market, and they spoke with one voice: Elliptic is the leader in digital asset compliance, built on the industry’s most robust proprietary data, and it’s that data advantage that makes their AI genuinely market leading. Elliptic is the essential infrastructure for how stablecoins and tokenized assets move through the global financial system. That customer verdict is what drove our investment,” commented Humbert de Liedekerke Beaufort, Founding Partner, One Peak.

 

 

Real-time compliance for the future of on-chain finance

 

 

Two thirds of global crypto volume is transacted on exchanges that already rely on Elliptic, a foundation that now serves as the compliance backbone as those same assets move into traditional finance. Compliance at enterprise scale is an infrastructure problem for the exchanges handling billions in daily crypto volume and the financial institutions moving on chain alike. Elliptic is built to address this at every point of that journey. By powering Elliptic’s data and intelligence platform and AI-native compliance solutions with the industry’s deepest data layer, Elliptic enables institutions to monitor continuously and in real time, catching risk before it crystallises and directs human judgement only where it is genuinely needed. Elliptic is the compliance layer that scales without scaling cost, built to grow with the on-chain financial system itself.

 

 

​​”Financial systems are being rebuilt on-chain,” said Simone Maini, CEO of Elliptic. “The institutions leading that transition need an on-chain analytics partner that matches their scale, their sophistication, and their ambition. The participation of Nasdaq Ventures, Deutsche Bank, One Peak and the British Business Bank, and the continued confidence of AlbionVC, Evolution Equity Partners and J.P. Morgan is a clear signal of their belief in us as market leaders. We built Elliptic for exactly this moment, and this funding lets us move faster to meet it.”

Elliptic is the leader in digital asset decisioning, we have built the most comprehensive platform for efficiently extracting cryptoasset data and intelligence across blockchains with the greatest accuracy.

 

 

Our platform’s unrivalled uptime, scalability, depth and breadth of our data and intelligence means exacting organizations choose Elliptic for their compliance, risk management, intelligence operations and blockchain infrastructure needs.

• Core Operating Profit increased by 0.8% YoY at AER and declined by 0.9% at CER, protected by OPEX savings, while still investing for growth.
• Reported Operating Profit increased by 19.3% YoY at AER, also reflecting a step-down in amortization expenses for VYVANSE and lower restructuring expenses.
• Core EPS increased by 5.2% YoY at AER and by 3.1% at CER, while reported EPS increased by 78.1% YoY.

Our growth roadmap is built around two strategic horizons: transforming for growth through near-term launches and strengthening competitiveness and accelerating growth by transitioning to a new cohort of blockbuster brands, together positioning us for long-term profitable growth and patient impact.”

 

Takeda Chief Financial Officer, Milano Furuta, commented:
“In FY2025, despite topline headwinds, we delivered solid profit and cash flow through disciplined cost control, while directing growth investment toward new product launches and the pipeline. In FY2026, we will continue to focus on transforming operations and protecting profitability while delivering successful launches and advancing our pipeline.
