Contest winner Kaitlyn Schave will attend VISION Hi-Tech Training & Expo in Kansas City

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#SaaS–Shop-Ware, a cloud-based shop management platform for independent auto repair shops, today announced Kaitlyn Schave of Wisconsin as the winner of the Future Tech of the Trade – VISION Experience Giveaway.

In partnership with automotive podcast Changing the Industry, Shop-Ware’s giveaway will send one automotive apprentice on an expense-paid trip to attend the VISION Hi-Tech Training & Expo, one of the most respected and sought-after training events in the automotive business. This year’s conference takes place March 5-8, 2026, in Kansas City.

Schave was nominated by her employer, Angela Mitchell, owner of TenPin Motors in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, where she works as an apprentice technician. She originally entered the industry because she wanted to work on her own vehicles but knew she needed more knowledge and hands-on experience. According to Mitchell, Schave has demonstrated a willingness to take on larger projects and actively seeks mentorship while still owning the work.

Mitchell also noted that Schave overcomes the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated industry by consistently proving her skill, work ethic, and commitment to growth. “She is good at what she does,” Mitchell shared. “And she maximizes every opportunity to learn.”

Cavan Robinson, VP of operations at Vehlo, parent company of Shop-Ware, added, “Kaitlyn is a great example of the kind of talent that will carry this industry into the future. Her dedication and drive make her so deserving of this honor as a ‘future tech of the trade.’ We can’t wait to see how she benefits from this unique experience.”

By attending the VISION event, Schave hopes to strengthen her technical skillset, build greater confidence in her abilities, and invest in her long-term career growth. She says that a great repair tech is someone who learns from others and is “confident but not cocky – someone who isn’t afraid to ask for guidance but doesn’t hand off responsibility.”

The VISION Experience Giveaway program is designed to give back in a meaningful way by supporting apprentices who are committed to learning, growth, and craftsmanship. The selection committee consisted of representatives from Shop-Ware, Changing the Industry, the VISION event, and independent repair shops. Judging criteria was based on demonstrated passion for the trade, commitment to professional growth, and alignment with community values.

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, and Powell said this was a risk management cut

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, and Powell said this was a risk management cut

PANews reported on September 18th, according to the Securities Times, that at 2:00 AM Beijing time on September 18th, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point interest rate cut, lowering the federal funds rate from 4.25%-4.50% to 4.00%-4.25%, in line with market expectations. The Fed's interest rate announcement triggered a sharp market reaction, with the three major US stock indices rising briefly before quickly plunging. The US dollar index plummeted, briefly hitting a new low since 2025, before rebounding sharply, turning a decline into an upward trend. The sharp market volatility was closely tied to the subsequent monetary policy press conference held by Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. He stated that the 50 basis point rate cut lacked broad support and that there was no need for a swift adjustment. Today's move could be viewed as a risk-management cut, suggesting the Fed will not enter a sustained cycle of rate cuts. Powell reiterated the Fed's unwavering commitment to maintaining its independence. Market participants are currently unaware of the risks to the Fed's independence. The latest published interest rate dot plot shows that the median expectation of Fed officials is to cut interest rates twice more this year (by 25 basis points each), one more than predicted in June this year. At the same time, Fed officials expect that after three rate cuts this year, there will be another 25 basis point cut in 2026 and 2027.

SEC Approves Generic Listing Standards for Crypto ETFs

SEC Approves Generic Listing Standards for Crypto ETFs

In a bombshell filing, the SEC is prepared to allow generic listing standards for crypto ETFs. This would permit ETF listings without a specific case-by-case approval process. The filing’s language rests on cryptoassets that are commodities, not securities. However, the Commission is reclassifying many such assets, theoretically enabling an XRP ETF alongside many other new products. Why Generic Listing Standards Matter The SEC has been tacitly approving new crypto ETFs like XRP and DOGE-based products, but there hasn’t been an unambiguously clear signal of greater acceptance. Huge waves of altcoin ETF filings keep reaching the Commission, but there hasn’t been a corresponding show of confidence. Until today, that is, as the SEC just took a sweeping measure to approve generic listing standards for crypto ETFs: “[Several leading exchanges] filed with the SEC proposed rule changes to adopt generic listing standards for Commodity-Based Trust Shares. Each of the foregoing proposed rule changes… were subject to notice and comment. This order approves the Proposals on an accelerated basis,” the SEC’s filing claimed. The proposals came from the Nasdaq, CBOE, and NYSE Arca, which all the ETF issuers have been using to funnel their proposals. In other words, this decision on generic listing standards could genuinely transform crypto ETF approvals. A New Era for Crypto ETFs Specifically, these new standards would allow issuers to tailor-make compliant crypto ETF proposals. If these filings meet all the Commission’s criteria, the underlying ETFs could trade on the market without direct SEC approval. This would remove a huge bottleneck in the coveted ETF creation process. “By approving these generic listing standards, we are ensuring that our capital markets remain the best place in the world to engage in the cutting-edge innovation of digital assets. This approval helps to maximize investor choice and foster innovation by streamlining the listing process,” SEC Chair Paul Atkins claimed in a press release. The SEC has already been working on a streamlined approval process for crypto ETFs, but these generic listing standards could accomplish the task. This rule change would rely on considering tokens as commodities instead of securities, but federal regulators have been reclassifying assets like XRP. If these standards work as advertised, ETFs based on XRP, Solana, and many other cryptos could be coming very soon. This quiet announcement may have huge implications.
