QTREX Announces Operational AME System at U.S. Government Lab with a Quantum Computing Program focused on National Security

Nes Ziona, Israel, July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QTREX Quantum Ltd. (Nasdaq: QTEX) ("QTREX" or the "Company") a company focused on advancing Additively Manufactured Electronics ("AME") for quantum computing infrastructure today announced that a U.S. Government lab conducting quantum computing programs is actively operating the Company's AME system. The operational use places the Company's technology inside a U.S. federal quantum and advanced-microelectronics development environment, providing the lab with direct access to the unique capabilities enabled by the Company's AME platform.

The lab is one of the most prominent U.S. government research environments focused on national security, applying advanced science and engineering to help identify, deter, defeat and mitigate threats to the United States and its allies. Within this environment, the lab conducts quantum computing programs focused on moving quantum technologies from experimental research toward practical, measurable and engineered systems. This includes fabrication and characterization, integrated control technologies, mathematical modeling and experimental testing on real-world quantum systems.

As quantum systems advance toward larger and more complex architectures, they require new approaches for manufacturing high-density interconnects, advanced packaging structures, integrated materials, RF/microwave pathways and application-specific electronic components. The operational use of QTREX's AME system inside this environment positions the Company's technology directly within the infrastructure layer required to support quantum hardware development.

> "The current U.S. administration has made it unequivocally clear that quantum computing and advanced microelectronics are critical, heavily funded national security priorities," said Dagi Ben-Noon, CEO of QTREX. "Having our AME system actively operating inside a federal lab directly aligns QTREX with these massive strategic initiatives and positions us at the heart of the infrastructure required to secure U.S. quantum leadership."

QTREX views this operational deployment as a strategic platform for deeper technical engagement, defined use cases and broader commercial expansion. Amid an accelerating wave of federal investment in sovereign quantum infrastructure, direct exposure to AME capabilities within this national security lab environment paves the way for future application-specific development tailored to sensitive, mission-critical and classified defense applications.

Hey Reddit, FundingTraders team member here.

Let's be completely real for a second. The biggest problem in the prop firm space right now isn't the challenge rules or the spreads—it is trust.

Every day, we see horror stories on this subreddit of traders grinding through an evaluation, hitting their live targets, and then suddenly finding themselves locked out of their accounts because of a mysterious "backend compliance issue" right before payday. Too many firms are hiding behind obscure terms and conditions because they simply don't have the liquid capital to pay successful traders.

We are done playing that game. If a firm claims they are paying out millions, they should be absolutely forced to prove it.

So, as of today, Funding Traders has officially launched a Live Payout Data Feed directly on our website.

📊 What the Live Feed Actually Shows

We aren't just dropping a static "Total Paid Out" graphic designed by a marketing intern. We are giving you the raw, ongoing data so you can see exactly what is happening on our backend.

• Live Payout Ticker: You can see the actual payouts as they are processed and sent to our funded traders.
• Payout Speed Metrics: We actively promote our 7-day payout cycle, and now you can hold us accountable to it. The data shows exactly how fast money is moving from our accounts to your crypto wallets.
• Real Trader Success: We are pulling the curtain back to show you the frequency and size of the withdrawals our consistent traders are making.

🛡️ Why Transparency is Our Only Strategy

When we say we offer up to 100% profit splits, a lot of skeptical traders assume it is a trap. But as I've explained in previous posts, our business model is fundamentally different from the churn-and-burn firms. We actually copy-trade our most consistent, disciplined users.

Because we scale our own capital alongside yours, we have absolutely zero incentive to deny a legitimate payout. We want you well-capitalized, stress-free, and trading your edge.

🏗️ Forcing the Industry to Change

The days of anonymous CEOs running prop firms from offshore shell companies need to end. If a firm is asking you for an evaluation fee but refuses to publicly prove they actually process withdrawals, you are giving them an interest-free loan.

We want to set a completely new standard for trustworthiness. You shouldn't have to cross your fingers and hope your firm doesn't vanish on payday. You do your job managing risk, and we will do our job paying you.

Head over to the Funding Traders website and watch the live feed for yourself. Let me know in the comments what other backend metrics you want us to make public next!

The AI investment conversation is usually dominated by semiconductors.

Nvidia.

AMD.

Data centers.

Cloud providers.

But the more I dig into the infrastructure side of AI, the more I think investors may be overlooking the metal that makes the entire buildout possible.

AI infrastructure isn't just servers.

It's:

• transmission lines
• substations
• transformers
• cooling systems
• backup power
• electrical distribution

And all of those require enormous amounts of copper.

According to forecasts from S&P Global, copper demand could rise from roughly 28 million metric tons in 2025 to 42 million metric tons by 2040.

What's interesting is that many analysts are warning that future supply may struggle to keep up.

That's why I've started paying closer attention to North American copper exploration stories, especially those operating in established mining jurisdictions with infrastructure already nearby.

One name I've been researching recently is NovaRed Mining (CSE: NRED / OTCQB: NREDF), which is advancing its Wilmac copper-gold project in British Columbia while also developing its MetalCore AI targeting platform.

The company is obviously early-stage and still needs to prove a lot through exploration, but I find the combination of copper exposure and AI-assisted target generation interesting.

Am I the only one who thinks the "AI needs copper" trade may end up being bigger than people expect?

I half port to AAOI. Finger crossed.

Every time VXUS or international exposure comes up, the default question seems to be whether it can beat the US.

I think that question is slightly off.

The US has been dominant for more than a decade. Mega-cap, AI, platform businesses, liquidity, earnings quality, most of it is concentrated there. If you compare international markets only by raw return, it is very easy to write them off.

But diversification does not require every piece to outperform. The real value of international exposure might be having something in the portfolio that is not perfectly tied to the same group of US mega-caps. A lot of people think they are diversified because they own an S&P 500 ETF, but underneath, it is increasingly a mega-cap bet.

I care more about two signals here. One is the dollar. If the dollar weakens, international assets become more attractive on a relative basis. The other is earnings revision breadth. If overseas estimates start improving while US mega-caps move sideways, international exposure suddenly stops looking like dead weight.

I’m not saying go heavy international. I’m just saying it is dangerous to extrapolate the last decade of US dominance forever. How do you think about international allocation? A return drag you tolerate for diversification, or a long-term value trap that does not deserve the allocation?

Daddy’s gotta eat

So last week I did some DD on SLS and decided to buy a few shares. Unfortunately, I bought right around the ATH offering, so I was in the red for most of the week. By Friday, the price had finally recovered to my average, and I sold everything because I just didn’t have the conviction (or the balls) to hold through the uncertainty…
Over the weekend I dug much deeper into the company, read more, and now I actually feel a lot more confident in the long-term potential. I’m planning to buy back in tomorrow, but now I’m wondering if I’ve already missed the move.
I know this probably sounds like classic FOMO, but I genuinely feel like my conviction is based on better research this time rather than just chasing the price. Curious what everyone else thinks…am I too late, or is there still room to run?
