Ispire-Backed IKE Tech to Present 7th Annual Next Generation Nicotine Delivery USA Conference

Conference Attendance Follows Groundbreaking FDA PMTA Filing for Blockchain-Powered Age-Gating System
LOS ANGELES, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ispire Technology Inc. ('Ispire' or the 'Company') ( NASDAQ: ISPR ), a trailblazer in vaping technology and precision dosing, announced that IKE Tech LLC ('IKE Tech'), a joint venture that includes Ispire as a founding partner, will showcase their technology at the 7th Annual Next Generation Nicotine Delivery USA at the Hyatt Regency in Miami from June 4-5th. This event convenes key business leaders from the FDA, the ENDS (Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems) sector, and the tobacco industry across the U.S. market to explore strategies for legal compliance and commercial success.
The announcement comes on the heels of IKE Tech's historic milestone, in which the joint venture filed a component Pre-Market Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) and Tobacco Product Master File (TPMF) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) System-on-a-Chip. IKE Tech has now received an Acceptance Review letter from the FDA, confirming that their PMTA meets regulatory requirements to be accepted, and moves the application into the FDA's filing review phase.
This marked the first-ever complete PMTA submission for a standalone, interoperable, blockchain-enabled age-verification component designed for universal integration across all ENDS devices. Unlike traditional systems that verify age only at the point of purchase, IKE Tech's platform requires continuous, real-time identity verification, offering an unprecedented level of security against underage vaping. IKE has formally requested expedited review of the application, citing its potential to significantly enhance public health.
At the conference, John Patterson, senior vice president of International Nicotine at Ispire and president of IKE Tech, will speak on a panel titled " Technology to End Youth Vaping for Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems,' scheduled for Wednesday, June 4, at 2:00 p.m. In his capacity as President of IKE Tech, Patterson will discuss:

Oil rises and US stock futures slip as markets react to US strike on Iran nuclear sites

NEW YORK (AP) — The price of oil rose and U.S. stock futures fell as global markets react to the U.S. strike against nuclear targets in Iran. The price of Brent crude oil, the international standard, rose 2.6% to $79 a barrel. U.S. crude rose 2.6% to $75.76 a barrel. On Saturday, U.S. forces attacked three Iranian nuclear and military sites, further increasing the stakes in the war between Israel and Iran. Futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.3%, while Nasdaq futures fell 0.5%. Treasury yields were little changed. The modest moves indicate markets are taking the latest development in stride. The conflict, which began with an Israeli attack against Iran on June 13, has sent oil prices yo-yoing, which has in turn caused see-saw moves for the U.S. stock market, because of rising and ebbing fears that the war could disrupt the global flow of crude. Iran is a major producer of oil and also sits on the narrow Strait of Hormuz, through which much of the world's crude passes. An Iran retaliation that included closing off the waterway would be technically difficult to pull off but traders are afraid Iran could severely disrupt transit through it, sending insurance rates spiking and making shippers nervous to move without U.S. Navy escorts Some analysts think Iran is unlikely to close down the waterway because the country uses it to transport its own crude, mostly to China, and oil is a major source of revenue for the regime. 'It's a scorched earth possibility, a Sherman-burning-Atlanta move,' said Tom Kloza, chief market analyst at Turner Mason & Co. 'It's not probable.' Kloza thinks oil futures will ease back down after initial fears blow over. Ed Yardeni, a long-time analyst, agreed, writing in a report that Tehran leaders would likely hold back. 'They aren't crazy,' he wrote in a note to investors Sunday. 'The price of oil should fall and stock markets around the world should climb higher.' Other experts aren't so sure. Andy Lipow, a Houston analyst covering oil markets for 45 years, said countries are not always rational actors and that he wouldn't be surprised if Tehran lashed out for political or emotional reasons. 'If the Strait of Hormuz was completely shut down, oil prices would rise to $120 to $130 a barrel,' said Lipow, predicting that that would translate to about $4.50 a gallon at the pump and hurt consumers in other ways. 'It would mean higher prices for all those goods transported by truck, and it would be more difficult for the Fed to lower interest rates.'
