The partnership reflects a long-term alignment between ParaFi and Jupiter, grounded in conviction around the protocol’s fundamentals, scale, and role in the evolving onchain financial system.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2nd February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Jupiter, a global onchain finance platform with over $3 trillion in lifetime trading volume, announced a $35 million strategic investment from New York–based ParaFi Capital, a $2bn asset management firm focused on the digital asset ecosystem.

Over the past year, Jupiter processed more than $1 trillion in annual trading volume and expanded from a handful of trading tools into a fully integrated onchain platform spanning swaps, perpetuals, prediction markets, stablecoins, lending, and portfolio management. What began as a single-function interface has evolved into a comprehensive onchain financial hub, enabling users to trade, earn yield, and manage assets within a single application.

ParaFi’s investment extends Jupiter’s momentum into 2026, supporting its efforts to deepen institutional participation in onchain finance. Since its founding in 2018, ParaFi has backed a number of category-defining DeFi protocols.

“With Jupiter, we found a partner with a track record in product development throughout onchain finance,” said Ben Forman, Founder and Managing Partner at ParaFi Capital. “We see further onchain adoption as the future of finance, and we believe the Jupiter team can execute with speed and experience to deepen their market penetration.”

“We share a long-term vision with ParaFi on the timing and potential of onchain finance,” said Xiao-Xiao Zhu, President of Jupiter. “They’ve been building the bridge between traditional finance and onchain markets since 2018. That connectivity will play a large role in accelerating everything we’re doing at Jupiter.”

ParaFi Commits $35M to Jupiter With Extended Lockup and Structured Upside

ParaFi purchased tokens at market prices without a discount, agreed to an extended lockup, and received warrants to acquire additional tokens at materially higher prices, reflecting long-term alignment with Jupiter’s growth.

Notably, the transaction was settled entirely in JupUSD, highlighting confidence in Jupiter’s stablecoin infrastructure and its suitability for large-scale institutional flows.

“This partnership isn’t really about the capital,” Kash Dhanda, COO of Jupiter, added. “What mattered most was finding a partner with deep credibility who could catalyze our growth as we build the next stage of onchain finance.”

Bootstrapped from day one and profitable throughout its lifespan, Jupiter has never taken any outside capital, marking the ParaFi partnership as a historic first.

“We are seeing a rapid convergence between DeFi and traditional capital markets,” said Anjan Vinod, Managing Director at ParaFi Capital. “We’re excited to bring our almost eight-year operating history to support Jupiter as it deepens its core DeFi stack while expanding into new products across tokenization, payments, and asset management.”

• William T. Bridge, an IT Support Specialist based in Sacramento, California, is urging individuals to adopt a simple three-part standard for safer accounts, devices, and data at home and at work.

California, US, 3rd February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, William T. Bridge, an IT support specialist known for his calm, systems based approach to user support, announced a new personal standard today designed for everyday people who want fewer tech crises and safer online lives.

His “3-Point Personal Security Standard” focuses on three basics most people skip until something goes wrong:

1. Strong, unique passwords managed in a password manager

2. Multifactor authentication on all key accounts

3. At least one automatic backup for important files

Bridge developed the standard after years of watching the same preventable problems repeat across small businesses, clinics, nonprofits, and home networks. In his experience, simple habits often make the difference between a minor issue and a major disruption.

“In my day to day work, the worst incidents almost always start with the basics being ignored,” Bridge said. “A single reused password or one laptop with no backup can turn a small mistake into a week of stress.”

Research highlights how costly those basic gaps can be:

• 65 percent of people reuse passwords across multiple accounts.

• An estimated 81 percent of hacking related breaches involve weak or stolen passwords.

• Nearly 1 in 3 users have lost important files because they had no backup.

• Small organizations hit by serious data loss sometimes shut down within months because recovery costs and downtime are too high.

“Most people think serious security problems only happen to big companies,” Bridge noted. “But I have seen families lose years of photos and small teams lose key documents because one hard drive failed or one mailbox got compromised.”

Bridge’s standard is built for regular users, not specialists. It focuses on a few clear moves that can be set up once and then maintained with small, regular check ins.

“When I help seniors at a community tech clinic or mentor high school students, I repeat the same message,” he explained. “If you protect your main accounts, turn on multifactor, and back up your files, you remove a big chunk of the risk from your life.”

The 3-Point Personal Security Standard

1. Use a password manager

   • Store all logins in one secure app.

   • Make passwords long and unique for each site.

2. Turn on multifactor authentication (MFA)

   • Start with email, banking, cloud storage, and social media.

   • Use an authenticator app whenever possible.

3. Set up automatic backups

   • Turn on cloud or external drive backups for documents and photos.

   • Check once a month that backups are running and restorable.

“People do not need to understand every technical detail,” Bridge said. “They just need a small personal standard that they follow every time they create an account or save something that matters.”

30-Day Implementation Plan

Week 1: Map and Prioritize

• List your top 10 accounts that would hurt most if lost or hacked.
  Examples: email, banking, payroll, tax, social media, cloud storage.

• Write down where your important files and photos live now.

• Decide which password manager you will use.

• Install the password manager on your phone and main computer.

Week 2: Lock Down Critical Accounts

• Move the passwords for your top 10 accounts into the password manager.

• Change each one to a long, unique password generated by the manager.

• Turn on multifactor authentication for each of those 10 accounts.

• Test MFA from both your phone and your main computer.

Week 3: Set Up Backups

• Choose a backup method: cloud backup service or external drive.

• Turn on automatic backup for your main computer.

• Make sure documents, photos, and important work folders are included.

• Run a test restore of one file to confirm it works.

Week 4: Extend and Review

• Add 20 more logins into your password manager as you use them.

• Turn on multifactor for any remaining high value accounts.

• Create one short page of notes that explains your standard in plain language.

• Share the standard with one friend, family member, or colleague and help them complete Week 1.

One-Page Personal Checklist

Accounts and Passwords

• I use a password manager on my phone and main computer.

• My email accounts use long, unique passwords.

• My banking and financial accounts use long, unique passwords.

• I do not reuse passwords between important accounts.

Multifactor Authentication

• MFA is turned on for my main email.

• MFA is turned on for my banking and financial accounts.

• MFA is turned on for my main cloud storage service.

• I use an authenticator app whenever a service supports it.

Backups

• My main computer has automatic backups enabled.

• My important documents are included in the backup.

• My photos and personal media are included in the backup.

• I have tested restoring at least one file from backup.

Review Habit

• I have a reminder once a month to review this checklist.

• I update any accounts that still use old or reused passwords.

• I confirm that recent backups completed successfully.

“Anyone can adopt this standard in small steps,” Bridge concluded. “You do not need to become an expert. You just need to treat these basics as non negotiable, the same way you lock your front door at night.”

Bridge encourages individuals, families, and small teams to adopt the 3-Point Personal Security Standard over the next 30 days and to share the one-page checklist with at least one other person.

• A nationally recognized summer arts institution opens registration for immersive theater, music, dance, and fine arts programs for teens ages 8–16.

Dobbs Ferry, NY, 3rd February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Long Lake Camp for the Arts, a nationally recognized summer arts institution with a decades-long legacy of artistic excellence, has announced the launch of its 2026 summer programs for teens ages 8 to 16. Building on its reputation for shaping confident, expressive young artists, the camp will once again offer immersive training in theater, music, dance, and fine arts at its private lakefront campus in New York’s Adirondack Mountains.

“Long Lake has always believed that young artists grow best when they are trusted with real responsibility and creative choice,” said a spokesman. “Our 2026 programs continue that tradition by giving teens the flexibility to train across disciplines while receiving guidance from working professionals who understand both artistry and mentorship

Situated on a 200-acre property surrounded by pristine nature, Long Lake Camp for the Arts provides an environment where creativity and personal growth develop side by side. The 2026 programs are designed to support both emerging and experienced artists through professional instruction, individualized mentorship, and hands-on performance opportunities that mirror real-world artistic practice.

The upcoming 2026 season will include multiple session options, allowing families to choose from extended six-week programs or focused three-week intensives. These flexible formats give campers the freedom to pursue one discipline in depth or participate across several areas, including acting, musical theatre, instrumental music, dance, visual arts, and creative production.

What distinguishes Long Lake from traditional summer programs is its personalized approach. Campers design their own daily schedules with guidance from working professionals—actors, directors, musicians, choreographers, and visual artists—who bring industry insight into every rehearsal and studio session. One-on-one coaching, collaborative workshops, and regular feedback sessions create a structured yet supportive setting where teens are encouraged to grow at their own pace.

Long Lake Camp for the Arts has long been recognized as a formative training ground for accomplished artists. Its alumni include Academy Award winners, Grammy recipients, Broadway performers, and internationally recognized creatives who credit the camp as an early influence in their artistic development. This legacy continues to shape the camp’s philosophy for 2026, blending high-level instruction with an inclusive, confidence-building culture.

In addition to intensive arts programming, campers enjoy a well-rounded summer experience. Recreational activities such as swimming, kayaking, campfires, and community events foster friendships and balance creative focus with classic summer fun. This combination supports emotional development, independence, and collaboration—skills that extend far beyond the stage or studio.

All performances at Long Lake are participation-based, with no auditions required. Campers take part in fully staged musicals, plays, concerts, exhibitions, and showcases, supported by professional-grade theaters, rehearsal spaces, costume departments, and design studios. Each performance is shaped by the camper’s comfort level and interests, reinforcing creative confidence without pressure.

What sets Long Lake apart is the confidence my child gained,” said one returning parent. “The environment encouraged growth without pressure. By the end of the summer, my son was performing with assurance, collaborating with peers, and expressing himself in ways we had never seen before.”

Due to consistently high return rates and strong family referrals, enrollment for the 2026 season is expected to fill quickly. Families are encouraged to begin planning early to secure preferred sessions and program placements.

Founded in 1969, Long Lake Camp for the Arts provides immersive summer programs in the performing and fine arts for children and teens ages 8 to 16.
