Uber Technologies Inc. (UBER)

The company entered a strategic partnership with Flytrex, marking its first investment in drone delivery services. This initiative signals Uber’s growing ambitions in autonomous logistics and new mobility technologies.

The collaboration aims to introduce aerial delivery through Uber Eats in select U.S. markets by year-end. This move enhances Uber’s multimodal delivery vision, expanding from vehicles and bikes to drones. The partnership combines Flytrex’s proven drone tech with Uber’s logistics reach to create a faster and safer service.

This development strengthens Uber’s position in autonomous delivery, opening new growth avenues and boosting investor sentiment. The company’s stock responded positively to this milestone, reflecting market confidence. With the delivery sector evolving rapidly, Uber now places itself at the forefront of innovation.

Uber Partners with Flytrex to Launch Drone Delivery

Uber’s agreement with Flytrex will integrate autonomous drone services into its existing delivery ecosystem. This collaboration will enable faster last-mile deliveries and reduce congestion and operational costs. Uber’s goal is to build the world’s most adaptable and scalable delivery network.

Flytrex brings operational expertise and regulatory clearances, including FAA approval for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations. The company has completed more than 200,000 deliveries across the U.S. under FAA-certified safety standards.

The pilot will start in Uber Eats markets before expanding to more locations. It aims to create a seamless end-to-end experience for users, merchants, and couriers. Flytrex drones can deliver items in minutes, making same-day delivery a realistic standard.

Uber Enters Autonomous Logistics With Confidence

Uber’s investment in Flytrex signals a decisive step into the future of aerial logistics and autonomous mobility. By supporting drone operations, Uber aims to cut emissions and reduce reliance on traditional delivery methods. The strategy supports broader sustainability goals and urban mobility improvement.

Flytrex’s drone delivery system is designed for efficiency and can serve suburban areas quickly. The drones operate under strict safety measures and can share airspace with manned aircraft. This reliability ensures secure, high-speed deliveries without human intervention.

This investment demonstrates Uber’s long-term commitment to innovation and mobility transformation. This will allow Uber to diversify its logistics capabilities beyond ground transport. As urban populations grow, Uber is preparing to meet rising demand through smart, autonomous solutions.

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves. Here are the Fed’s latest targets from 19 FOMC members, both voters and nonvoters: Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The forecasts, however, showed a large difference of opinion with two voting members seeing as many as four cuts. Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year. There’s a lot of uncertainty…
