Cyngn Inc. (NASDAQ: CYN) has closed a registered direct offering that raised approximately $9.65 million in gross proceeds. The company sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants at $1.93 per share, with the majority of the offering purchased by a single institutional investor. The transaction was priced at the market under Nasdaq rules and closed on March 17, 2026, with proceeds expected to support general corporate purposes and working capital. Aegis Capital Corp. acted as exclusive placement agent for the offering.

The capital infusion comes as Cyngn develops and deploys autonomous vehicle technology designed for industrial organizations like manufacturers and logistics companies. The company addresses significant challenges facing these sectors, including labor shortages and costly safety incidents. Cyngn’s DriveMod technology enables customers to implement self-driving capabilities in their operations without requiring high upfront costs or extensive infrastructure installations.

DriveMod is currently available on Motrec MT-160 Tuggers and BYD Forklifts. The DriveMod Tugger can haul up to 12,000 pounds, operates both indoors and outdoors, and targets a typical payback period of less than two years. The DriveMod Forklift handles heavy loads using non-standard pallets and is currently available to select customers. For more information on the company’s technology, visit https://www.cyngn.com/.

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.
