Metabolon Verus™ Metabolomics Profiling Kit Now Available to Order

A successful multi-site ring trial and early access program demonstrate the reproducibility, scalability, and biological insight of the Metabolon Verus™ Metabolomics Profiling Kit across laboratories worldwide

MORRISVILLE, N.C., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Metabolon, Inc., the global leader in providing metabolomics solutions advancing a wide variety of life science research, diagnostic, therapeutic development, and precision medicine applications, today announced that the Metabolon Verus™ Metabolomics Profiling Kit is now available to order, moving Metabolon’s first metabolomics kit from early access into full commercial availability.

First announced in May 2026 at the 74th ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry, the Metabolon Verus™ Metabolomics Profiling Kit is designed to extend Metabolon’s market-leading capabilities beyond centralized services and into laboratories worldwide, combining sample preparation, quality control, automated compound annotation, and access to Metabolon’s Integrated Bioinformatics Platform (IBP) in a single standardized workflow.

During the Early Access Program, 10 laboratories across five countries ran the Metabolon Verus™ Metabolomics Profiling Kit on their own instruments, applying it to studies spanning microbiome research, allogeneic stem cell transplantation, delirium, pulmonary fibrosis, and traumatic brain injury. Their hands-on experience across these applications drove the refinements to training, documentation, and customer support.

Metabolon also completed a ring trial for the Metabolon Verus™ Metabolomics Profiling Kit across eight independent laboratories worldwide, using a fed-fasted study of plasma and sex-based signatures in urine samples. In addition to comparisons between labs, results from each site were benchmarked against an accurate truth dataset and two targeted panels with 8-point calibration for 27 analytes. Metabolon generated the accurate truth dataset by running the same fed-fasted samples at its headquarters using the same kit methods, with results meticulously curated by its expert scientists. Across all eight sites, labs detected an average of 735 metabolites per plasma sample set, with 89% metabolite overlap between labs and an average of 90 pathways represented per set. Metabolite abundance correlated with the accurate truth dataset at a median coefficient of 0.91, and fold-change differences between fed and fasted states and significant metabolites were strongly conserved in each of the eight labs.

“Reproducibility remains one of the biggest barriers to scaling metabolomics,” said Dr. Annie Evans, Head of Core R&D at Metabolon, who presented the ring trial results at the Metabolomics Society meeting in Buenos Aires in June 2026. “What stood out was not only how well the ring trial readout from the labs matched in terms of metabolite count and number of significant metabolites, but also how well the fold-change in response between fed-fasted correlated. It is an amazing result, really emphasizing reproducibility of the workflow and the quality of the analytical pipeline that can drive the results.”

As multiomics analysis becomes more established across academic research, CROs, biotechs, and pharmaceutical companies, sponsors still face the same practical obstacle: results from each omics layer arrive on different timelines and in different formats, so joint analysis requires reconciling data across platforms before the science can even start. The Metabolon Verus™ Metabolomics Profiling Kit is designed to close that gap. Transcriptomics, proteomics, metagenomics, and clinical data can be seamlessly integrated into a single platform to provide a more holistic view, enabling a deeper understanding of the complex biological system under study. Because the kit returns results in five days, it offers the flexibility to align with sequencing platform turnaround times or other omics methods, giving researchers greater efficiency, scalability, and control over their timelines. The result is a genuine multiomics readout, rather than several separately timed datasets stitched together after the fact, that accelerates multiomics research and supports longitudinal, multi-cohort studies for CROs, biotechs, and pharma sponsors.

“Making Metabolon Verus available to order is an important milestone for Metabolon and for the broader metabolomics community. It’s our first decentralized product, encapsulating 25 years of experience,” said Ro Hastie, CEO of Metabolon. “We set out to make high-quality metabolomics more accessible without compromising the scientific rigor, reproducibility, or biological insight researchers expect from Metabolon. The results of our early access program and ring trial give us strong confidence that Metabolon Verus delivers on that promise in laboratories around the world.”

The Metabolon Verus™ Metabolomics Profiling Kit delivers:

• Consistent, comparable data everywhere it runs, through standardized sample preparation and acquisition workflows that eliminate site-to-site variability.
• Confidence in the data before analysis even starts, with built-in quality assurance and quality control that ensure every dataset meets Metabolon’s minimum quality threshold.
• Just days from raw data to processed metabolite results, through automated data processing and compound identification that remove the manual curation bottleneck.
• Enough biological breadth to answer more than one question, from a reference library of more than 1,500 metabolites across 100 biochemical sub-pathways spanning metabolic disease, exposome, the microbiome, kidney and liver function, and beyond.
• Plug metabolomics into your multiomics portfolio without heavy development or informatics investment, adding Metabolon-standard metabolomics for deeper mechanism-of-action, safety, and translational insights.
• A path from data to decision with Metabolon’s intuitive Integrated Bioinformatics Platform for statistical analysis, pathway mapping, visualization, collaboration, and multiomics integration.
• A faster route to running metabolomics in-house, backed by training and scientific support that help laboratories establish and scale metabolomics capabilities without months of method development.

For more than 25 years, researchers have sent samples to Metabolon to access the company’s metabolomics technology and expertise. With the Metabolon Verus™ Metabolomics Profiling Kit, laboratories can now run a standardized Metabolon workflow in-house while remaining connected to the company’s data-processing infrastructure, compound annotation capabilities, bioinformatics tools, and scientific expertise.

The Metabolon Verus™ Metabolomics Profiling Kit is now available to order in North American markets, with international availability in early 2027.  To learn more or place an order, visit:

Rain Expands Global Payouts to More than 80 Countries in 50 Currencies

Payouts build on Rain’s existing money movement technology, which enables partners to offer virtual accounts, onramps, and offramps and give users even more ways to spend stablecoins

Key facts

• Rain’s expanded global payouts capability broadens its money movement technology.
• Rain’s partners can now support payouts to more than 80 countries in 50 currencies from stablecoins, with expansion to 95 countries and more than 60 currencies by the end of the year.
• Global payouts support business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), consumer-to-consumer (C2C), and consumer-to-business (C2B) transactions, whether a partner is sending funds to their own account or to someone else’s.
• Global payouts are available now for select beta partners, with broader availability expected by the end of the year.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rain, the enterprise-grade infrastructure for stablecoin payments, announced today an expansion of its global money movement technology platform, enabling partners to send payouts to more than 80 countries in 50 currencies, and plans to reach 95 countries and more than 60 currencies by the end of the year. The expanded capability gives Rain’s partners one way to pay others in the currency they actually use, from a single stablecoin balance. It supports business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), consumer-to-consumer (C2C), and consumer-to-business (C2B) payouts, whether a partner is sending funds to their own account or to someone else’s.

Rain’s global payouts capability closes the last-mile gap for stablecoins by connecting onchain infrastructure with legacy rails. Partners fund payouts directly from the stablecoin balances they already hold, and Rain orchestrates the conversion of stablecoins to local currency through licensed partners.

Stablecoin cards were Rain’s original answer to making stablecoins spendable in the real world. The purchase is authorized like any other card transaction at the point of sale, but behind the scenes, Rain settles with the card networks in stablecoins, while the merchant gets paid in fiat. But card transactions represent just one way users want to use their stablecoins. A business in Bogotá still needs to pay a supplier in Lisbon. A contractor in Buenos Aires still needs pesos to pay their landlord for rent.

An expansion across pay-ins and payouts

Virtual accounts already let partners move money between fiat and stablecoins, covering both pay-ins and payouts. Rain’s global payouts extend the payout side of that stack to local currencies and local rails in more than 80 countries.

Together, the two capabilities mean a partner can bring pesos onchain through a virtual account in Mexico, hold them as stablecoins, and separately initiate a payout to a vendor in Argentina. Once the payout is initiated, a licensed partner would deliver Argentine pesos to the recipient’s bank account.

“Partners don’t want to stitch together several vendors every time they need to pay someone in a new country,” said Charles Yoo-Naut, CTO and co-founder of Rain. “They want one platform that powers the whole flow of funds, from stablecoins to local currency, wherever that money needs to land. Rain’s global payouts product is the next step in building that platform.”

Built for how partners actually move money

Rain built global payouts around the flows its partners already need it for:

• Neobanks can offer money movement and payments services to their own consumer or business customers, without building and maintaining local banking relationships in every market themselves.
• Marketplaces can pay a global base of sellers and drivers in their local currencies from a single stablecoin balance instead of prefunding an account in every country they operate in.
• Contractor platforms can distribute payments to freelancers across borders, regardless of where they live.
• Businesses can pay suppliers abroad from their onchain balance without requiring that vendor to accept stablecoins.

Settlement time depends on the rail and the destination. Many corridors settle in real time, others take up to two business days.

Rolling out now

Global payouts is live today with a select group of beta partners, and will roll out more broadly across Rain’s partner base over the coming months. Interested partners can work with their Account Manager to join the beta program and interested prospects can contact Partnerships at sales@rain.xyz.

Bybit Launches FX Perpetual Contracts, Adding Major Currency Pairs to TradFi Derivatives

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced the debut of Forex (FX) Perpetual Contracts, a new product category among its derivatives offerings, launching with three pairs: EURUSDUSDT, GBPUSDUSDT, and USDJPYUSDT. The three pairs are USDT-settled and track their respective spot exchange rates without an expiry date, giving traders continuous exposure to the world’s most heavily traded currency pairs using crypto assets as collateral.

FX is a core pillar of global finance, underpinning international trade, cross-border commerce, and currency risk management for businesses and institutions worldwide. Turnover in OTC FX markets averaged $9.6 trillion per day in April 2025, up 28% from $7.5 trillion in 2022, and interest rate derivatives increased to $7.9 trillion per day, according to the latest BIS Triennial Central Bank Survey. The scale of the addressable market gives skilled traders and investors the opportunity to strategically navigate FX exposure, and Bybit Perpetuals now offers a new avenue for accessing it.

In addition, FX Perpetual Contracts can serve as an accessible currency hedging mechanism for Bybit traders seeking to safeguard portfolio gains against FX volatility. As global traders anticipate potential interest rate hike cycles in late 2026 and 2027, the ability to manage foreign exchange exposure seamlessly with crypto collateral provides flexibility and convenience.

The listings extend Bybit’s TradFi Perpetuals suite, which launched in April 2026 and has since grown to more than 200 assets spanning global equities, commodities, ETFs, and pre-IPO names. Bybit’s FX Perpetuals bring the same crypto-native mechanics, including funding rates, dynamic leverage, and full integration with Bybit’s Unified Trading Account, to the foreign exchange market. Bybit’s FX Perpetuals are tradable around the clock, allowing users to respond to weekend macro developments, central bank statements, and geopolitical events without waiting for the underlying market to reopen.

EUR/USD and USD/JPY are the two most traded currency pairs globally, together accounting for a significant share of daily FX turnover, while GBP/USD is closely watched around the UK central bank’s policy decisions. The launch places Bybit alongside a small number of crypto-native platforms that have introduced crypto-collateralized FX perpetual products in recent months, as exchanges increasingly compete to bridge traditional and digital asset markets on a single account.

FX Perpetual Contracts are available now on Bybit, complementing existing TradFi Perpetuals and other TradFi and RWA offerings. As with all leveraged derivatives products, FX Perpetuals carry liquidation risk and are intended for traders who understand margin trading; Bybit encourages users to review contract specifications and risk disclosures before trading.

CDF Corporation Launches the Squiz® System in North America, Bringing Automated Liner Evacuation to Manufacturers of Thick, High-Value Liquids

New automated system recovers high-value product left behind in IBC liners, reducing product waste by up to 96 percent in manufacturer trials

PLYMOUTH, Mass., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CDF Corporation, a manufacturer of flexible liners for industrial containers, today announced the North American launch of the Squiz® System, an automated liner evacuation system for intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). The system addresses a recurring and largely unmeasured source of product loss in liquid manufacturing: residual product retained inside the liner when an IBC is emptied.

For manufacturers of thick, slow-moving products that cling to the liner rather than dispensing completely, conventional pumping leaves product behind in every container. Across multiple container cycles per year, this residual product represents a measurable and recurring financial loss. With the Squiz System, an average of 0.1 to 0.2 percent of product remains after dispense. In manufacturer trials on thick cosmetic creams, product waste per liner fell by up to 96 percent.

At the core of the Squiz System is a controlled winding action: the machine winds the liner from the top down during dispense, in sync with the plant’s pump, moving product toward the dispense valve. A reinforced form-fit liner withstands the mechanical load of winding.

“We are very pleased to be offering this unique solution that maximizes the emptying of viscous products. It not only saves the company money but it plays a big role in the overall goal of reducing waste that we all, as environmental custodians, are striving for,” said Joe Sullivan, President and CEO of CDF Corporation.

How it works

Winds the IBC liner from the top down during dispense, in sync with a pump and a standard plant compressed-air connection on a dedicated line.

No operator intervention during dispense; automatic pressure cutoffs and an emergency stop are engineered in.

Mobile design: mounted on a stainless-steel frame with locking casters, the unit moves between production lines with no fixed installation and no electrical connection.

Developed in Europe, exclusive to CDF in North America

The Squiz System was developed by Liquidpack S.L. of Onda, Spain, where the system has been deployed across European manufacturing operations. CDF brings the system to the North American market together with its engineered form-fit liner, backed by CDF’s Plymouth, Massachusetts manufacturing and support operations.

Live demonstrations at PACK EXPO International

CDF will run live Squiz System demonstrations at PACK EXPO International, October 18 to 21 at McCormick Place, Chicago, booth LU-6806 in the Reusable Packaging Pavilion. The Squiz System will be set up in the booth to demonstrate how the mechanism moves contents toward the dispense valve. Attendees can also estimate the cost of residual product loss in their own operations using CDF’s Cost of Dispensing Calculator.

Manufacturers seeking to quantify residual product loss in their operations can request a technical review and on-site evaluation here.

About CDF Corporation

CDF Corporation is a Plymouth, Massachusetts based manufacturer of flexible liners for pails, drums, intermediate bulk containers, and bag-in-box packaging. For more than 50 years, CDF has helped manufacturers protect their containers, recover their product, and contain their risk across food and beverage, chemical, cosmetic, and industrial markets. CDF is an SQF-certified manufacturer with FDA-approved film options. Learn more at cdf1.com.

As Global Heatwaves Intensify, Kolmar Korea Brings Cooling Innovation to Sunscreen

• Kolmar Korea advances K-sun care with non-menthol cooling ingredients, water-drop technology, and a high-moisture Jelly Sun Stick
• New cooling formulations lower skin temperature by approximately 4–6°C while delivering robust UV protection

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kolmar Korea, a driving force behind the global rise of K-beauty sunscreens, is capturing industry attention for its advanced sun care technologies that seamlessly combine UV protection with cooling benefits. As record-breaking heatwaves and rising temperatures intensify worldwide, consumer demand for “cooling sunscreens” is surging, prompting Kolmar Korea to expand its sun care portfolio with proprietary technologies designed to overcome the limitations of conventional cooling cosmetics.

Traditional cooling cosmetics have typically relied on volatile ingredients that lower skin temperature through evaporation, or menthol-based ingredients that chemically stimulate the skin’s cold-sensing receptor, TRPM8 (Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 8), to create a sensation of coolness. However, volatile ingredients often provide only short-lived effects and can cause skin dryness or damage, while menthol frequently triggers irritation, stinging, or discomfort.

To address these shortcomings, Kolmar Korea has developed a novel non-menthol cooling ingredient derived from a precisely formulated blend of multiple botanical extracts. This ingredient delivers an immediate, long-lasting cooling sensation while minimizing skin irritation, and further enhances performance through synergy with other cooling agents.

Beyond its cooling properties, the ingredient offers soothing and elasticity-enhancing benefits while supporting the recovery of UV-damaged skin, making it highly versatile for a wide range of skincare and sun care applications. Utilizing this technology, Kolmar Korea has completed the development of a “Cooling Sun Essence” engineered to combat both heat-induced aging and photoaging.

Kolmar Korea is also pioneering cooling technologies driven by internal water particles rather than chemical cooling agents. A prime example is its proprietary “water-drop” technology, in which the particle structure breaks down upon contact with the skin, releasing moisture in the form of micro-droplets.

Most conventional water-drop formulations have long faced structural stability challenges in sunscreens. Over time, ingredients can separate, and microscopic cracks can form in the UV-protective film, significantly degrading sunscreen efficacy.

To solve this issue, Kolmar Korea engineered a formulation utilizing a clay-based material composed of thin, interlocking layers. The particles are designed to collapse and release moisture only when friction is applied, allowing the UV-protective film to spread evenly across the skin.

Upon application, this formulation reduces skin temperature by approximately 4 degrees Celsius (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) and suppresses roughly 90% of subsequent heat-induced temperature increases.

Kolmar Korea has similarly overcome the traditional limitations of stick formats by significantly increasing water content to maximize the cooling effect. A standout innovation is its “Jelly Sun Stick,” developed using a naturally derived seaweed ingredient.

Unlike conventional stick cosmetics, the Jelly Sun Stick features a water-based surface layer that immediately refreshes and cools the skin upon contact. By minimizing oil content, the formulation achieves a resilient, jelly-like elasticity while maintaining the structural stability required for a solid stick format.

Products incorporating this technology deliver powerful UV protection while lowering skin temperature by approximately 6 degrees Celsius (10.8 degrees Fahrenheit) instantly upon application.

“Demand is surging for products that offer dual benefits of UV protection and cooling as extreme heat becomes the global norm,” a Kolmar Korea representative stated. “Building on the proven global competitiveness of K-sun care, we will continue to pioneer diverse functionalities and expand the boundaries of the sun care category.”

Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) Announces ETH Holdings Reach 5.93 Million Tokens, and Total Crypto and Total Cash Holdings of $15.7 Billion

Bitmine owns 4.9% of the total ETH coin supply of 122.0 million

Bitmine is 97% of the way to the ‘Alchemy of 5%’ in just 15 months

Crypto equities are largest contributor to Russell 1000 quarter to date, representing 4 of the top 21 stocks

Bitmine common stock gain of 99% quarter to date is 4th best of the Russell 1000

ETH is the best performing macro asset in Q3 of 2026 to date, outperforming the S&P 500 by 5,430bp

Bitmine was added to the Russell 1000 Large-cap index on June 26, 2026

Bitmine’s Series A Preferred Stock is trading on the NYSE under the symbol BMNP

Bitmine has 5,067,309 staked ETH, representing $12.6 billion at $2,495 per ETH. MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network) is a premier Ethereum staking destination for BMNR and institutional investors

Bitmine owns $91 million of Eightco (NASDAQ: ORBS), now one of the only publicly listed equities in the world to provide investors indirect exposure to OpenAI

Bitmine Crypto + Total Cash Holdings & Marketable Securities + “Moonshots” total $15.7 billion, including 5.93 million ETH tokens, total cash & marketable securities of $593 million, and other crypto holdings

Bitmine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK’s Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas “Tom” Lee to support Bitmine’s goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

NORWALK, Conn., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (“Bitmine” or the “Company”) a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash & marketable securities + “moonshots” holdings totaling $15.7 billion.

As of September 7, 2026 at 2:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 5,929,198 ETH at $2,495 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 211 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $91 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash & marketable securities of $593 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.9% of the ETH supply (of 122.0 million ETH).

“Since June 30th, 4 of the top 21 best performing stocks in the Russell 1000 are crypto-related equities. The outperformance is reflective of the fact that Ethereum is the best performing macro asset in Q3 so far. In our view, fund managers benchmarked to the Russell 1000 need to consider whether they have sufficient exposure to crypto given this group’s outsized contribution to Russell 1000 gains this quarter. Notably, Bitmine’s common stock is the 4th best performing with a gain of 99% compared to 3% for the Russell 1000 benchmark,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

Tom DeMark, founder of DeMark Analytics and a capital markets advisor to Bitmine is expecting ETH to make a sharp upward move in coming weeks. According to Tom DeMark, “In August, ETH moved sideways without a downside break and the 12-day metric expired, which implies a renewal of the upside move. We believe this further supports the continuation of the prior uptrend. We expect, last week’s sharp one-day rally was a likely preview of the pending advance.”

“As we enter the final month of calendar Q3 2026, ETH is the best performing macro asset during the quarter, outperforming the S&P 500 by 5,430bp through last Friday. In fact, the top 3 performing assets since June 30th are ETH, BTC and SOL,” stated Lee. “We believe this sets the stage for institutions to add to their crypto holdings given the substantial outperformance of crypto versus other macro assets in calendar Q3 so far.”

“We believe there are multiple positive catalysts as we head into the final months of 2026,” stated Lee. “These include the upcoming CLARITY Act vote scheduled in mid-September. Additionally, Korean investors have again started buying crypto and rotating away from AI stocks. The 4-year cycle is bottoming within the next few weeks in our view. And this sets the stage for what we expect to be sizable institutional participation in buying crypto in the final months of 2026, especially given the tailwinds of tokenization and Agentic-AI.”

“This ETH/BTC ratio has moved up during crypto bull cycles, driven by increasing use of Ethereum relative to Bitcoin. These prior cycles were fueled by ICOs (2017-2018), NFTs (2020-2021), and stablecoins (2025). In this upcoming crypto cycle, we see the ETH/BTC ratio rising, driven by Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and by agentic-AI using blockchains,” continued Lee.

“Over the past week, we acquired 28,086 ETH. Bitmine’s track record of consistent buying of crypto is unmatched by any public company in the world. Bitmine has bought ETH each and every week since the inception of the ETH Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025,” stated Lee.

On July 16, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman’s Message (link here) for July 2026. The title of the Message is “ETH is the cure for the Uncanny Valley of Wealth.”

Earlier in 2026, Bitmine launched MAVAN (the Made in America VAlidator Network), the institutional-grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine’s own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN has expanded to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine’s ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.

As of September 7, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309 ($12.6 billion at $2,495 per ETH). “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $386 million on an annualized basis (using 2.61% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.

“Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $330 million. And this 5.1 million ETH is 85% of the 5.93 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.61% (annualized),” continued Lee.

Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $1.10 billion (5-day average, as of September 4, 2026), ranking #81 in the US, behind Intuit Inc. (rank #80) and ahead of TJX Companies, Inc. (rank #82) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

Bitmine’s crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc., which reportedly owns 840,447 BTC valued at approximately $66 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

Bitmine management believes the GENIUS Act and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2026 as the US action on August 15, 1971, which ended the Bretton Woods system and took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard 55 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.
