Company Co-Founder Josh Lospinoso Remains Involved as Founder and Board Member

ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shift5, the Operational Intelligence platform for America’s defense and transportation systems, today announced the appointment of Toby Magsig as president and interim CEO, assuming full responsibility for company strategy, operations, and execution. Magsig joins Shift5 from L3Harris Technologies, where he served as vice president and general manager of Enterprise Autonomous Solutions, bringing extensive experience in emerging technologies, defense acquisition, and enterprise growth.

As part of this transition, Shift5 Co-Founder Josh Lospinoso will transition out of day-to-day operational leadership and remain involved as founder and board member, focused on long-term vision, major product initiatives, and key strategic engagements.

“Building Shift5 from the ground up has been the defining work of my career,” said Josh Lospinoso, Shift5 founder and board member. “What has always mattered most to me is solving real problems for operators and maintainers – problems where failure isn’t an option. This transition lets me stay focused on long-term vision and the hardest product challenges, while Toby brings the operational leadership we need to scale with rigor. He’s exactly the right leader for where the company is headed.”

Prior to joining Shift5, Magsig served as vice president and general manager of Enterprise Autonomous Solutions at L3Harris Technologies, where he led a new business unit focused on autonomous systems, launching product lines including AMORPHOUS software and DiamondBack autonomous vehicles. He also founded the LHXelerator to integrate commercial and non-traditional defense capabilities into L3Harris products, notching multiple successes. During his 26-year Army career, Magsig commanded the Joint Modernization Command at Army Futures Command, where he integrated over 110 future technologies across all five armed services, embraced agile development models, and led the Army’s largest annual experiments. He also commanded a 4,500-member Airborne Infantry Brigade and deployed to combat twelve times across Iraq and Afghanistan.

“What Shift5 has developed is exactly what our warfighters and operators need – real-time visibility into the systems they depend on,” said Toby Magsig, Shift5 president and interim CEO. “The demand for Operational Intelligence across defense and transportation is accelerating, and Shift5 is uniquely positioned to meet it. I’m excited to join the Shift5 team to ensure we’re delivering for operators and maintainers, at the pace and scale the mission requires.”

This transition comes as Shift5 builds on significant momentum. The company recently closed its $75M Series C funding round led by Hedosophia, secured key contracts on critical platforms such as the F-16, and introduced next-generation capabilities to include its advanced RF-enabled GPS detection.

Ret. Gen. Rich Clarke, Shift5 chairman of the board and former SOCOM commander, emphasized the strategic nature of this transition: “Josh built Shift5 into a defense imperative, establishing the technical foundation that protects our fleets today. Toby Magsig is a proven combat leader who knows what it takes to drive high-performance teams in the most demanding environments on earth. As we pivot to mass-scale deployment, Toby is the force multiplier we need. He brings a commander’s mindset to our operations, ensuring absolute accountability and precision in execution. This structure unleashes Josh to push the technical horizon while Toby drives the operational velocity required to capture the market.”

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 clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings

SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings

The post SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved new generic listing standards for spot crypto exchange-traded funds, clearing the way for faster approvals. Summary SEC has greenlighted new generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs. Rule change eliminates lengthy case-by-case approvals, aligning crypto ETFs with commodity funds. Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund and Bitcoin ETF options also gain approval. The U.S. SEC has approved new generic listing standards that will allow exchanges to fast-track spot crypto ETFs, marking a pivotal shift in U.S. digital asset regulation. According to a Sept. 17 press release, the SEC voted to approve rule changes from Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX, enabling them to list and trade commodity-based trust shares, including those holding spot digital assets, without submitting individual proposals for each product. A streamlined path for crypto ETFs Under the new rules, an ETF can be listed without SEC sign-off if its underlying asset trades on a market with surveillance-sharing agreements, has active CFTC-regulated futures contracts for at least six months, or already represents at least 40% of an existing listed ETF. This brings crypto ETFs in line with traditional commodity-based funds under Rule 6c-11, eliminating a process that could take up to 240 days. SEC chair Paul Atkins said the move was designed to “maximize investor choice and foster innovation” while ensuring the U.S. remains the leading market for digital assets. Jamie Selway, director of the division of trading and markets, called the framework “a rational, rules-based approach” that balances access with investor protection. First products already approved Alongside the new standards, the SEC cleared the listing of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, which tracks spot assets based on the CoinDesk 5 Index. It also approved trading of options tied to the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index and its mini version, with…
