LexisNexis, IMS Cut UBI Telematics Costs Up to 80%

Atlanta – September 24, 2026 -- LexisNexis Risk Solutions and IMS have integrated the LexisNexis Drive Metrics scoring model into IMS's EdgeSDK, enabling U.S. auto insurers to cut usage-based insurance (UBI) operational costs by up to 50% to 80% through on-device processing that eliminates cloud storage fees.

On-device computing eliminates cloud costs for insurers

The integration moves driving behavior data processing directly onto consumers' smartphones rather than through cloud infrastructure, addressing a cost barrier that has historically limited UBI program growth. LexisNexis states the approach can generate savings of 50% or more by removing cloud processing and storage fees tied to traditional telematics programs.

Paxos Labs Launches PAXGy, Bringing Institutional Gold Leasing Yield On-Chain

New York – September 24, 2026 -- Paxos Labs has launched PAXGy, a gold-backed token that accrues value in gold terms by routing reserves into the multi-billion dollar institutional gold leasing market that has set bullion lending rates for four decades.

PAXGy deploys PAXG reserves into a market previously closed to retail holders

Holders deposit PAXG or swap accepted stablecoins for PAXGy, which is redeemable for PAXG at any time. The underlying gold is deployed to a network of vetted institutional borrowers -- refiners, jewelry manufacturers, miners and bullion banks -- through the same leasing market that has priced bullion lease rates for decades. As reserves are deployed, value accrues to the PAXGy exchange rate, meaning each token becomes worth more PAXG over time and holders can exit with more notional ounces than their principal.

Hyosung Scales HVDC Tech to 2 GW, Targets Top-3 Grid Rank in 5 Years

Seoul – September 24, 2026 -- Hyosung Heavy Industries is scaling its proprietary voltage-source converter (VSC) HVDC technology to 2 gigawatts, building on a commercial base of 200 MW systems, as it targets a position among the world's top three power solutions providers within five years.

The company subsequently developed 200 MW converter valves and control systems and deployed them on live grids, building operational experience that it is now applying to large-scale 2 GW systems. Since 2012, Hyosung has pursued in-house development of core HVDC components rather than licensing external technology, part of a South Korean government push to localize converter valves, control systems and converter transformers.
