OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LIS Technologies Inc.‘s (LIST) recently announced laser-based uranium enrichment facility represents a $1.38 billion investment in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and is expected to create more than 200 jobs in the area. Through its role as Lead Project Integrator, Enveniam will coordinate and lead project management, planning, licensing, design, construction, site readiness, operations readiness and delivery for the facility — the first of its kind in the U.S. and one of the largest nuclear-related investments in Tennessee history.

Alongside Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, LIST announced its intent to develop the facility on a 206-acre site formerly known as Duct Island and now renamed “LIST Island,” located at the historic K-25 uranium enrichment plant. Enveniam, a BCP portfolio company, brings decades of experience in nuclear engineering and operations and will support LIST as it advances its patented laser isotope separation technology to meet growing demand for domestic enrichment and support U.S. energy and defense needs.

“We are proud to play a key role in this historic investment and to help bring this transformative technology to life,” said Doug Freund, President and CEO of Boston Government Services and Executive Officer of Enveniam. “This project represents a major step forward for U.S. energy independence and nuclear innovation, and we’re honored to support LIST in shaping a more secure and resilient domestic fuel cycle.”

As a trusted Lead Project Integrator for high-stakes, multidisciplinary programs, Enveniam integrates facilities, technology, suppliers and operations from concept through commissioning. Its promise is delivery certainty — cohesive, mission-ready systems that meet requirements and deliver on cost and schedule commitments.

Subject to licensing, permitting and final investment decisions, LIST intends to begin site preparation and construction in 2026, with initial commercial operations targeted before 2030. This announcement follows the company’s selection in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) Enrichment Acquisition Program and further positions Oak Ridge at the forefront of nuclear energy advancement.

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia

The post MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MoneyGram has launched a new mobile application in Colombia that uses USD-pegged stablecoins to modernize cross-border remittances. According to an announcement on Wednesday, the app allows customers to receive money instantly into a US dollar balance backed by Circle’s USDC stablecoin, which can be stored, spent, or cashed out through MoneyGram’s global retail network. The rollout is designed to address the volatility of local currencies, particularly the Colombian peso. Built on the Stellar blockchain and supported by wallet infrastructure provider Crossmint, the app marks MoneyGram’s most significant move yet to integrate stablecoins into consumer-facing services. Colombia was selected as the first market due to its heavy reliance on inbound remittances—families in the country receive more than 22 times the amount they send abroad, according to Statista. The announcement said future expansions will target other remittance-heavy markets. MoneyGram, which has nearly 500,000 retail locations globally, has experimented with blockchain rails since partnering with the Stellar Development Foundation in 2021. It has since built cash on and off ramps for stablecoins, developed APIs for crypto integration, and incorporated stablecoins into its internal settlement processes. “This launch is the first step toward a world where every person, everywhere, has access to dollar stablecoins,” CEO Anthony Soohoo stated. The company emphasized compliance, citing decades of regulatory experience, though stablecoin oversight remains fluid. The US Congress passed the GENIUS Act earlier this year, establishing a framework for stablecoin regulation, which MoneyGram has pointed to as providing clearer guardrails.

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

The post Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering to expand its SOL holdings. The company’s stock (FORD) fell 8.2% following the announcement, while the proceeds could more than double the $3.1 billion currently held in Solana treasuries. DeFi Development Corp. also registered a preferred stock offering with the SEC, following similar funding tactics used by Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy. Forward Industries, the newest and largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering. For the sake of comparison, this $4 billion raise is nearly the same size as Bitcoin treasury Strategy’s Stride preferred stock raise in July. And it’s double the size of the Strife preferred stock offering the company did in May. The proceeds would be used for working capital; pursuit of its Solana token strategy, and “the purchase of income-generating assets to grow its business,” the company said in a press release. Forward Industries declined to comment to Decrypt on what other income-generating assets it’s considering adding to its balance sheet.  As markets opened Wednesday morning, Forward saw its stock price take a dive. The shares, which trade under the FORD ticker on the Nasdaq, dipped to $31.29 before rebounding to $34.28 at the time of writing—marking a 8.2% fall for the session. If the company sells all the shares and spends the bulk of the proceeds on buying Solana, it could more than double the amount of SOL being held in treasuries. At the time of writing, there’s already $3.1 billion in Solana treasuries, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko. Users on Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company DASTAN, have been growing more confident that SOL will reach $250 sooner than…
