The findings, drawn from surveys in 2024-2025 of administrators at 540 institutions (more than double last year's participation) and more than 31,000 students across 300 colleges, show broad-based progress in campus support for student mental health and well-being.
Additional findings of the 2024-2025 survey reveal:
* 76% of colleges have accredited or standards-aligned counseling centers -- Up 15% from 61% in 2023-2024.
* 64% of colleges now operate fully staffed counseling centers year-round -- Up 8% from 56% in 2023-2024.
* 93% of colleges integrate mental health and wellness into residential life Up 14% from 79% in 2023-2024.
The Princeton Review 2025 Campus Mental Health Survey Report (https://sftp01.princetonreview.com/public/file/ucwlej4lpuy1733wzln_ha/the_princeton_review_mental_health_services_report.pdf)--which features an executive summary, survey questions, answer choices, and findings--posted today here.
The project--now in its second year and recently extended through 2028--surveys both college administrators and students to evaluate campus mental health services and awareness.
In addition to the surveys, the project has two components designed to provide college applicants with information about campus mental health resources at specific schools. An annual Mental Health Services Honor Roll recognizes schools that have shown a strong commitment to their students' mental health and well-being. The project Honor Roll for 2026 names 30 schools (listed below) to this distinction--up from 16 schools last year.
The Princeton Review also publishes information about campus mental health services and resources in its school profiles on PrincetonReview.com as well as in its annual Best Colleges guidebook. The company now includes such information in its profiles of 540 institutions: a list of the reporting schools is posted here.
"We are proud to see measurable progress in how colleges are responding to the mental health needs of students," said Jay Ruderman, President of the Ruderman Family Foundation. "This initiative is a natural extension of our work to expand access to mental health support and inclusion within higher education. Partnering with The Princeton Review allows us to highlight institutions leading the way and ensure that mental health remains a visible and lasting priority on every campus."
Said Rob Franek, The Princeton Review's Editor-in-Chief, "We are honored to partner with the Ruderman Family Foundation on this vitally important project. The Foundation has a compelling record of advancing mental health programs and services to help people of all kinds facing adversity. We are especially appreciative for the Foundation's commitment to advancing mental health and wellbeing services for college students. With our history of helping millions of students apply to and gain admission to colleges each year, we are keenly aware of the struggles many students face in college, from high stress and anxiety issues to social and academic challenges. We hope our project can increase the services for students in need and raise awareness and support for the colleges and health professionals so dedicated to these programs."
The Princeton Review has conducted this multifaceted project since October 2023 in partnership with the Ruderman Family Foundation, an internationally recognized organization that works to end the stigma associated with mental health and to promote mental health resources and student awareness of them on college campuses.
Additional Findings of the Administrator Survey
The 2024-2025 survey was sent to administrators at nearly 2,000 institutions as part of The Princeton Review's annual data collection cycle: 56 questions related to this project were added to the main survey. Among administrators responding to this year's survey:
* 99% reported their colleges have a comprehensive wellness program for all students -- Up 7% from 92% in 2023-2024.
* 96% reported their colleges have a mental health services website -- Up 9% from 87% in 2023-2024.
Selected Findings of the College Student Survey
On The Princeton Review's undergraduate student survey which asks students to rate and report on their experiences at their campus on dozens of topics (using a five-point Likert scale answer choice), four questions were included on the main survey for this project. The 2024-2025 survey findings reflect opinions of students from 300 colleges that completed the full survey. Their responses overall show a year-over-year increase over the responses of students from the 2023-2024 survey for every question:
* 79% agreed with the statement "If I needed to seek professional help for my mental or emotional health, I would know where to access my school's resources" -- Up 1% from 78% in 2023.
* 76% agreed with the statement "Mental health services are readily available on campus" -- Up 5% from 71% in 2023-2024.
* 75% agreed with the statement "I am aware of mental health outreach efforts by my school" -- Up 4% from 71% in 2023-2024.
* 66% agreed with the statement "My college prioritizes students' mental health" -- Up 5% from 61% in 2023-2024.
The Princeton Review's Rob Franek also noted a related finding from the company's 2025 College Hopes & Worries Survey of college applicants and parents of applicants. Asked whether having information about a college's health, wellness, and mental health services would contribute to their decision to apply to (and/or attend) a school, 81% of the survey's 9,317 respondents said such information would affect their decision. Of that cohort, 42% said they would be "strongly" or "very" interested in having such information.
The 2026 Mental Health Services Honor Roll Schools
Institutions chosen for the Honor Roll are those that have displayed an exceptional commitment to their students' mental health and well-being. The selection criteria was set by the project's Campus Mental Health Advisory Board. The 30 schools selected for the 2026 Honor Roll are listed below in alphabetical order.

Show Full Article VIENNA, Virginia, Nov. 20 -- The Navy Federal Credit Union issued the following news release: * * * Navy Federal Credit Union Marks Membership Milestone with Renewed Commitment to Supporting Military Community As it welcomes its 15 millionth member, Navy Federal commits $10 million this year to organizations that support Servicemembers, Veterans and their families. * As Navy Federal Credit Union welcomes its 15 millionth member this fall, the credit union reaffirms its commitment to supporting members' financial health, not only through an enhanced suite of custom products and services butalso by strengthening support for Servicemembers, Veterans and their families.
The credit union is on track to donate more than $10 million to more than 500 community-based organizations by year's end. This enterprise-wide effort incorporates both large financial commitments as well as smaller donations and on-the-ground volunteer support for organizations serving the military community, made possible in part by the credit union's policy providing employees with eight hours per year of paid volunteer leave.
The credit union also recently offered its interest-free paycheck-assistance program for eligible members whose pay has been affected during the government shutdown, continuing a tradition of assistance seen during previous shutdowns in 2011, 2013 and 2018-19. Navy Federal's government shutdown support dispersed more than 195,000 loans totaling more than $350 million, with zero impact to our members' credit history (no credit check is required) and 0% in interest charged. Navy Federal also worked to assist members with managing more than $2.5 billion in loan balances.
This comes on top of billions in earnings and savings members enjoy annually. Last year, members collectively earned and saved more than $4.3 billion--thanks to better interest rates, lower fees and exclusive member discounts. Members also continue to benefit from products and services tailored to the military community, such as a new resource hub to ease permanent changes of station (PCS). The hub helps Servicemembers navigate reimbursement processes, identify childcare providers and track expenses with checklists, spending calculators, subscription and bill managers, and 24/7 access to financial counselors.
Also new this year is a secured credit card with unlimited 1% cash back on all purchases; a new graduate student loan product to support members pursuing advanced degrees; checking account and other enhancements; and a new strategic partnership with a network of over 130 credit unions jointly investing in fintech solutions to automate lending, prevent fraud, and improve member experience. This partnership complements other new investments in artificial intelligence and digital investment tools.
At the same time, Navy Federal remains committed to growing its branch network, with more than 370 branches, many on or near military bases. In addition, Navy Federal is proud to operate the Overseas Military Banking Program in collaboration with the US Department of Defense. This program operates some sixty branch offices and hundreds of ATMs on designated military installations under the name "Community Bank." Community Bank expands access to currency exchange services, foreign bill payment services, checking/savings accounts, and other specialized financial services to those Servicemembers deployed abroad across ten countries and territories.
For the 10th straight year, Navy Federal Credit Union ranked first among US multichannel banks for customer experience (CX) quality, according to Forrester's latest Customer Experience Index (CX Index(TM)) Rankings. The report recognizes brands that create and sustain customer loyalty. Also this year, the credit union marked its 14th consecutive appearance on the FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For(R) list and was recognized by Newsweek as a Most Trustworthy Company in America; by People as one of 100 Companies that Care; and by Forbes as one of America's Best Employers for Company Culture.
"For nearly 93 years, Navy Federal has been driven by our commitment to give back to the community that gives so much to our country," said Dietrich Kuhlmann, Navy Federal's President and CEO. "We carry out this pledge every day--across hundreds of branches worldwide, through products and services tailored to military families, and with active volunteer engagement in military communities. As we mark a new milestone in our membership, Navy Federal remains focused on ensuring we are properly positioned to serve the financial needs of America's men and women in uniform, our nation's Veterans, and their families."
Central to these efforts is a business unit launched this year to bolster the credit union's impact in military communities. Led by Retired US Navy Captain Keith Hoskins, Navy Federal's new Office of Military Affairs and Strategic Partnerships is streamlining the credit union's philanthropic endeavors; strengthening partnerships with organizations that provide direct support to the military community; and advocating for public policies that protect financial cooperatives' ability to prioritize the needs of members.
As part of this work, Navy Federal is overseeing a three-year partnership with the USO to support financial wellness--a key need in the military community. Thanks to Navy Federal's $9 million investment over three years ($3 million per year from 2024 to 2026), the USO is expanding its financial education programming for early-career Servicemembers and spouses.
Community impact story: Navy Federal's Destiny Gomez-Polson launched a financial wellness fair to create a space where the community could openly discuss money concerns and gain financial knowledge. The activation at San Diego's Mission Valley branch has since spread to other branches in California, serving roughly 1,000 Active-Duty military in the region -- just one example of Navy Federal's efforts, in partnership with USO, to support financial wellness in the military community. The work, Destiny says, is "essential."
Navy Federal is also partnering with military relief societies and The Bob Woodruff Foundation, which helps provide Servicemembers, Veterans and military families with financial literacy education, emergency financial assistance, and disaster aid. In addition, Navy Federal's commitment to the Armed Services YMCA enables them to provide junior enlisted personnel and families with needed programs and services.
In honor of National Veterans and Military Families Month, the credit union chose to support Travis Manion Foundation, which supports community service projects for Veterans, their families and community members. Navy Federal will make additional planned gifts to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, which supports toy collections at 330 Navy Federal branches and benefits disadvantaged children, and to Hire Heroes USA, which helps Veterans, transitioning Servicemembers and military spouses find meaningful employment.
Navy Federal team members are also giving their time this season. They'll be making over 900 no-sew blankets in support of Soldiers' Angels "Operation Warm Winter" and participating in holiday donation drives benefiting Project Neighbors and the Marine Toys for Tots programs.
These seasonal commitments build on earlier engagements this year with partners including The Honor Foundation, which helps men and women of the Special Operations Forces (SOF) community transition to civilian life; Portraits For Patriots(R), which supports transitioning Servicemembers, military spouses, and Gold Star families; and DogTag Inc, which supports military-affiliated entrepreneurship.
In September, the credit union again teamed up with Feeding America(R), the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, to support communities in need through No Plate Left Behind, a nationwide campaign combating food insecurity. In total, No Plate Left Behind donated more than 28 million/* meals to those in need. Team members also donated nonperishable food items at collection bins at Navy Federal campuses and branches.
Community impact story: Kaitlin Nelson experienced food insecurity as a child. Now a mortgage supervisor at Navy Federal, she uses the credit union's paid leave program to volunteer at the same food bank that helped her family make ends meet decades ago. "I'm grateful to work for a company that allows us to give back to such an important cause--and one that assisted my family in our times of need," Kaitlin says. Read her story (https://www.navyfederal.org/makingcents/blog/employees-combat-hunger.html).
In August, the credit union dispersed $1,000 grants to 100 qualifying nonprofits supported by Navy Federal team members through its annual "Dollars for Doers" initiative. Over the past 18 years, the program has donated nearly $2 million to charities where employees have donated their time. Nearly a quarter of this year's grants support causes benefiting military families and Veterans.
Community impact story: Navy Federal's Renee Hoglen, a military spouse, this year channeled $1,000 to REINS of Valor, a horse therapy program for Veterans. Hoglen, a longtime volunteer, worked with colleagues to repair the ranch and raise funds. "'Our members are the mission' is our motto, and I see that same spirit in REINS--serving and connecting both the local and military communities," Renee says. Read her story (https://www.navyfederal.org/makingcents/blog/doers-champion-100-charities.html).
Navy Federal also engaged members and team members in its annual Back-to-School campaign this summer to prepare kids for the school year. Team members at Navy Federal campuses across California, Florida and Virginia donated pencils, markers, binders and other school supplies to local United Way chapters, while stateside branches donated backpacks to military kids in partnership with Operation Homefront. Last year, collections exceeded $20,000 worth of school supply items from campus employees, and more than 1,100 books were donated to military families through virtual book drives hosted by United Through Reading.
Navy Federal is also proud to be the official Military Appreciation Partner of the National Hockey League (NHL). Alongside the annual Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium SeriesTM, the credit union hosts a one-of-a-kind military hockey tournament--highlighting all-Veteran hockey teams committed to serving their local communities and growing the sport of hockey nationwide. The credit union also sponsored Military Makeover with Montel(R), a home remodeling show for members of the military community; put on MAM JAM, a concert series held near military communities in Texas and North Carolina that featured Grammy-winning country duo Dan + Shay; and supported military communities in many other ways this year.
Community impact story: Tiana Schneider led her all-Veteran hockey team in Navy Federal's fifth annual Veterans Showcase this winter--a one-of-a-kind military hockey tournament. The official Military Appreciation Partner of the NHL, the credit union hosted it alongside the 2025 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series(TM) in Ohio. Navy Federal's all-expenses paid tournament weekend has received 600+ team applications since 2020, providing a once-in-a-lifetime experience to some 300 Veterans. Read their story (https://www.navyfederal.org/makingcents/blog/warrioress-finds-sisterhood-in-ice-hockey.html).
Community impact story: The Itterley family waited 10 years to see their favorite artists perform live, an opportunity that arrived in May, Military Appreciation Month (MAM). Through Navy Federal's partnership with Vet Tix, Michelle Itterley got free tickets to see Grammy-winning country duo Dan + Shay in Texas, courtesy of Navy Federal's first-ever MAM JAM concert series. "There was no way we could have ever gone if we had to pay full retail value," Michelle says. "We're so grateful." Read their story (https://www.navyfederal.org/makingcents/blog/thanking-the-military-community-with-the-gift-of-music.html).
"We're grateful to every one of our 15 million members for the trust they continue to place in us," said Kara Cardona, the credit union's COO. "As we celebrate this milestone and pay tribute to our nation's Servicemembers, Veterans and their families, Navy Federal is singularly focused on our mission to put our members first. This means equipping our team to provide world-class service, offering the very best and most meaningful financial products and support, and continuing our work to strengthen the communities in which we live and work."

Show Full Article STAMFORD, Connecticut, Nov. 20 (TNSrep) -- Gartner, an information technology research and advisory company, issued the following news release: * * * Gartner Identifies Critical GenAI Blind Spots That CIOs Must Urgently Address Analysts Discuss GenAI Adoption Challenges and Strategies to Mitigate Risks at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo, 17-19 November in Kochi, India * Gartner, Inc., a business and technology insights company, identified critical blind spots stemming from overlooked risks and unintended consequences of generative AI (GenAI) adoption. Chief information officers (CIOs) must proactivelyaddress these hidden challenges to ensure GenAI value realization and avoid AI project failures.
"GenAI technologies and techniques are evolving at an unprecedented pace, matched only by the surrounding hype, which makes it challenging for CIOs to navigate this dynamic landscape," said Arun Chandrasekaran, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner, during Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo, taking place this week in Kochi.
While organizations often focus on immediate GenAI challenges such as business value, security and data readiness, they may overlook critical blind spots because these are second- or third-order effects that are not often visible upfront. Risks like shadow AI, technical debt, skills erosion, data sovereignty demands, interoperability issues and vendor lock-in represent hidden undercurrents that can undermine long-term success.
Gartner predicts that by 2030 these blind spots will create the dividing line between enterprises that scale AI safely and strategically and those that become locked in, outpaced or disrupted from within.
To stay competitive and resilient, CIOs must tackle both visible challenges and hidden risks tied to GenAI adoption and prioritize addressing the following blind spots:
Explosion of Shadow AI
A Gartner survey of 302 cybersecurity leaders in March - May 2025 revealed that 69% of organizations suspect or have evidence that employees are using prohibited public GenAI.
The rapid adoption of unsanctioned AI tools can lead to both visible and invisible impacts such as IP loss, data exposure and increased security risks. Gartner predicts that by 2030 more than 40% of enterprises will experience security or compliance incidents linked to unauthorized shadow AI.
"To address these risks, CIOs should define clear enterprise-wide policies for AI tool usage, conduct regular audits for shadow AI activity and incorporate GenAI risk evaluation into their SaaS assessment processes," said Chandrasekaran.
AI Technical Debt
Gartner predicts that by 2030, 50% of enterprises will face delayed AI upgrades and/or rising maintenance costs due to unmanaged GenAI technical debt.
"Enterprises are excited about GenAI's speed of delivery. However, the punitively high cost of maintaining, fixing or replacing AI-generated artifacts such as code, content and design, can erode GenAI's promised return on investments," said Chandrasekaran. "By establishing clear standards for reviewing and documenting AI-generated assets and tracking technical debt metrics in IT dashboards, enterprises can take proactive steps to prevent costly disruptions."
Rising Demand for Data and AI Sovereignty
Gartner predicts that by 2028, 65% of governments worldwide will introduce some technological sovereignty requirements to improve independence and protect from extraterritorial regulatory interference.
Regulatory constraints on cross-border data or model sharing can slow down enterprise-wide AI deployments, increase total cost of ownership (TCO) and result in suboptimal outcomes.
To address these challenges, CIOs must build data sovereignty into their AI strategies from the start by engaging legal and compliance teams early on and prioritize vendors who meet their data and AI sovereignty requirements.
Skills Erosion
Over-reliance on AI can erode critical human expertise, judgment and tacit knowledge that are not easily codified or replaceable. This erosion occurs gradually and often goes unnoticed, so CIOs may not recognize the risk until the enterprise struggles to function without AI or when AI fails in edge cases that require human intuition.
"To prevent the gradual loss of enterprise memory and capability, organizations should identify where human judgment and craftsmanship are essential, designing AI solutions to complement, not replace, these skills," Chandrasekaran said.
Ecosystem Lock-In and Interoperability
Enterprises eager to harness GenAI's potential at scale often choose a single vendor for speed and simplicity. This deep dependency can impact an enterprise's technical agility and future negotiation power on pricing, terms or service levels.
Many CIOs underestimate how closely their data, models or workflows become tied to vendor-specific APIs, data lakes and platform tools.
"Prioritizing open standards, open APIs and modular architectures in AI stack design, help enterprises avoid vendor lock-ins," said Chandrasekaran. "In addition, CIOs must make interoperability a standard in GenAI pilots and assessments."

Show Full Article PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, Nov. 20 [Category: BizHospital] -- Children's Hospital of Philadelphia issued the following news release: * * * Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Researchers Identify Genetic Factors Influencing Bone Density in Pediatric Patients * Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) revealed important genetic components that affect bone density in children and adolescents. This information could help identify pediatric patients who may benefit from strategies to help improve their bone health at an early age, helping them maintain healthy bones and preventfractures in adulthood.
Many children experience fractures due to accidents and recover quickly, but there are many reasons why children may have weak bones or be at risk for developing fragile bones. Chronic health conditions, dietary restrictions and steroid use all impact bone mineral metabolism. Genetics plays an additional role, and while most studies have been conducted on adults for whom a fracture could be life-threatening, the role that genetics plays in affecting bone mineral density during childhood has historically been much less understood. Two recent studies from researchers at CHOP explored the importance of genetic and genomic information when it comes to understanding pediatric bone development.
The first study, published in the journal Genome Biology, looked at genetic signals associated with bone mineral density that had been previously identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) across adults and children. Prior studies had not been able to identify a causal gene linked to those signals.
Understanding the causal gene was related to the dynamic between osteoblasts, which form new bone tissue, and osteoclasts, which break down old bone tissue. When children are growing, osteoblasts are far more active to help achieve proper bone growth.
The researchers used CRISPRi - which helps silence gene expression without cutting the DNA like CRISPR-based therapies - and identified four genes ( ARID5B, CC2D1B, EIF4G2, and NCOA3 ) that are linked to osteoblasts and their ability to mature. Additionally, the researchers found that many genetic signals associated with bone mineral density also exhibit their effects on other tissues, indicating that bone density might signify other potential health issues.
"With this information, our hope is to further study these signals specifically in pediatrics and help identify which children are more likely to get a fracture to optimize their bone health for life," said senior study author Struan F.A. Grant, PhD, Director of the Center for Spatial and Functional Genomics and the Daniel B. Burke Endowed Chair for Diabetes Research at CHOP.
The second study, published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, used a polygenic risk score called genetic quantitative ultrasound speed of sound (gSOS). gSOS had been previously used to study the risk of fracture in adults, and CHOP researchers sought to determine whether it was associated with bone health in children. This study utilized two observational studies and associated genetic data, the Bone Mineral Density in Childhood Study (BMDCS) as well as data from CHOP's Center for Applied Genomics spanning more than two decades.
The study found that a higher gSOS score was associated with higher bone mineral density at multiple skeletal sites and reduced odds of fracture across both observational studies. This is particularly important since the researchers' investigation accounted for a wide range of factors, including sex, puberty stage, levels of calcium in the diet, height, weight and BMI, as well as accidents that could have resulted in fractures.
"Our study found that genetics represent a powerful component of bone density across the entire lifespan," said senior study author Babette S. Zemel, PhD, Professor of Pediatrics at CHOP. "We were very surprised to see that the polygenic risk score could accurately predict which patients were more likely to experience a fracture, even accounting for the normal childhood activities we most closely associate with broken bones."
Both methods could potentially be utilized to enhance bone health earlier in life. While a good diet and regular weight bearing physical activity, particularly sports like volleyball and basketball, are important for bone health, Zemel said, these remain particularly helpful for improving bone health even if genetic risk of fracture is high.
The first study was supported by the University of Colorado Gates Grubstake Award, the National Science Foundation grants DMS 2113072 and DMS 2310654, National Institutes of Health grants R01AI154773, R01DK122586, UL1 TR001878, R01 HD100406, R01 AG072705, and UM1 DK126194, the Henry Ruppenthal Family Professorship for Bioengineering and Orthopaedic Surgery and the Daniel B. Burke Endowed Chair for Diabetes Research.
The second study was supported by the National Institutes of Health grants R01HD100406, R01HD58886 and UL1TR000077, and the Daniel B. Burke Endowed Chair for Diabetes Research. The Bone Mineral Density in Childhood Study (BMDCS) was also supported by Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development contracts N01-HD-1-3228, -3329, -3330, -3331, -3332, -3333.

Show Full Article NEW YORK, Nov. 20 -- Bloomberg issued the following news: * * * Bloomberg Indices Introduces Bloomberg Commodities Global Thematic Basket Indices Offering New Diversification Tools for Investors Bloomberg announced the expansion of its commodity index offering with the launch of the Bloomberg Commodity Carbon Tilted, Transition Metals, & Gold Index (Ticker: BCOMCTG) and the Bloomberg Commodity Global Oil & Gas Liquidity-Weighted Index (Ticker: GCOMOGL). These new thematic basket indices further expand Bloomberg's commodity offerings, complementing the flagship Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM).This launch introduces forward-looking benchmarks aligned with key themes shaping global commodities markets such as energy transition, electrification, and infrastructure investment.
"Commodities have long played a critical role in portfolio diversification and inflation-hedging, but today's investors also want exposure aligned with structural shifts like decarbonization and the energy transition," said Jigna Gibb, Head of Commodities and Crypto Index Products at Bloomberg. "These new indices are designed to track that evolution and the way commodities demand is being reshaped as a result, combining Bloomberg's deep data, analytics, and research to help investors navigate the next phase of global commodities markets."
The Bloomberg Commodity Carbon Tilted, Transition Metals, & Gold Index underpins Fideuram's recently launched D-X Diversified Commodities and Strategic Metals UCITS ETF (DXDC). The index was chosen for its design intended to allow investors to maintain the broad risk-return characteristics of the Bloomberg Commodity Index, and have tilts to components e.g., less GhG emissions. The index aims to track the performance of a diversified portfolio composed of three key Bloomberg indices and market segments, each strategically chosen for its global shift towards carbon tilts, energy transition, and defensive characteristics.
"We were excited to collaborate with Bloomberg Indices on the custom index for our DXDC ETF to design an offering that met our specific product strategy goals with the benefit of a research-backed, transparent and rules-based broad commodity benchmark," said Renato Zaffuto, Head of Investment solutions for International Network & Leader of ETF Solutions at Fideuram. "In the current market environment of a multi-polar world, macro policy uncertainty and global supply chain realignment, investing into real assets like broad commodities is becoming a strategic and forward-looking component under the paradigm shift of rethinking a long-term portfolio asset allocation. The Commodity Supercycle 3.0 is under way and this time the focus will be on commodities that will fuel the future in a digital economy such as Transition Metals."
The Bloomberg Commodity Oil & Gas Liquidity-Weighted Index delivers exposure to the global oil and gas sector through a liquidity-weighted methodology that dynamically and automatically adapts to structural shifts in the global energy landscape and related trading activity. As outlined in a report by Bloomberg's Index Research Team, "Powering the Future: A Modern Benchmark for a Multi-Polar World," the benchmark was designed in response to the profound shifts reshaping global energy markets like the US shale revolution, Europe's growing role as the balancing hub for liquefied natural gas, and Asia's emergence as the primary center of demand growth.
These launches continue Bloomberg Indices' focus on emerging macro and sustainability themes across its commodities offering via transparent, rules-based tools, including the Bloomberg Global Commodity Transition Metals Index (GCOMTM Index

The Fund will start trading on November 20, 2025, under the ticker XRP. It has a management fee of 0.34%, which is waived for the first month on the first $500M in assets./1 TheBitwise XRP ETF will hold spot XRP, the world's third-largest crypto asset with a market cap of over $125 billion and a 13-year track record. XRP is the digital currency that powers the XRP Ledger, a blockchain that focuses on the efficient exchange, tokenization, and settlement of both crypto-native and traditional assets./2 Since its inception, the XRP Ledger has facilitated over 4 billion transactions, with average daily volume of $1.9 billion and average settlement time of 3-5 seconds./3 XRP aims to disrupt the market for cross-border payments, a market projected to reach $250 trillion by 2027./4
The Bitwise XRP ETF (the "Fund") is not suitable for all investors. An investment in the Fund is subject to a high degree of risk, has the potential for significant volatility, and could result in significant or complete loss of investment. The Fund is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and therefore is not subject to the same protections as ETFs and mutual funds registered under the 1940 Act. An investment in the Fund is not the same as a direct investment in the XRP token ("XRP").
"XRP is a really intriguing asset for several reasons," said Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan. "It has operated successfully for a very long period of time at extremely low cost, it processes high transaction volumes, and it has a really strong and vibrant community of supporters. In the new crypto-forward regulatory regime, XRP stands on an equal playing field with other digital assets. Now the market will have the opportunity to see what XRP can really do."
The Bitwise XRP ETF is Bitwise's second XRP-themed fund. The firm launched the Bitwise Physical XRP ETP (ticker: GXRP) in Europe in 2022. The debut of the Bitwise XRP ETF on the New York Stock Exchange gives U.S. institutional and retail traders greater access to XRP and highlights the asset's important role in the evolving digital financial ecosystem.
"In 2025, we're watching digital assets take on real utility in the global economy," said Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley, "whether that's powering payments, building infrastructure, or earning a permanent role in diversified portfolios. With today's launch of the Bitwise XRP ETF, we're excited to help investors gain exposure to an asset that has the potential to fundamentally reshape how money moves worldwide."
The XRP Ledger is designed to empower businesses to tokenize and transact assets, ranging from U.S. Treasuries (Ondo Finance, OpenEden) and digital commercial paper (Guggenheim Treasury Services) to private credit (Mercado Bitcoin, VERT) and money market funds (abrdn). The XRP token is required for all activity on the XRP Ledger, whether executing transactions, maintaining wallet reserves, or establishing "trustlines" (preapproved relationships with trusted counterparties).
The Bitwise XRP ETF is the 49th investment product to join Bitwise's extensive suite of crypto portfolio offerings across the U.S. and Europe. For more information, visit bitxrpetf.com.

Risks and Important Information
This material must be accompanied by a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing. To obtain a current prospectus visit bitxrpetf.com/welcome.
The amount of XRP tokens ("XRP") represented by a Share will continue to be reduced during the life of the Fund due to the transfer of the Fund's XRP to pay for the Sponsor's management fee, and to pay for litigation expenses or other extraordinary expenses. This dynamic will occur irrespective of whether the trading price of the Shares rises or falls in response to changes in the price of XRP.
There is no guarantee or assurance that the Fund's methodology will result in the Fund achieving positive investment returns or outperforming other investment products.
Investors may choose to use the Fund as a means of investing indirectly in XRP. Because the value of the Shares is correlated with the value of XRP held by the Fund, it is important to understand the investment attributes of, and the market for, XRP.
XRP Risk. There are significant risks and hazards inherent in the XRP market that may cause the price of XRP to fluctuate widely. The Fund's XRP may be subject to loss, damage, theft or restriction on access. Investors considering a purchase of Shares should carefully consider how much of their total assets should be exposed to the XRP market, and should fully understand, be willing to assume, and have the financial resources necessary to withstand the risks involved in the Fund's investment strategy.
Liquidity Risk. The market for XRP is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Possible illiquid markets may exacerbate losses or increase the variability between the Fund's NAV and its market price. The lack of active trading markets for the Shares may result in losses on investors' investments at the time of disposition of Shares.
Regulatory Risk. Future and current regulations by a U.S. or foreign government or quasi-governmental agency could have an adverse effect on an investment in the Fund.
Blockchain Technology Risk. Certain of the Fund's investments may be subject to the risks associated with investing in blockchain technology. The risks associated with blockchain technology may not fully emerge until the technology is widely used. Blockchain systems could be vulnerable to fraud, particularly if a significant minority of participants colluded to defraud the rest. Because blockchain technology systems may operate across many national boundaries and regulatory jurisdictions, it is possible that blockchain technology may be subject to widespread and inconsistent regulation.
Nondiversification Risk. The Fund is nondiversified and will hold a single issue. As a result, a decline in the market value of a particular issue held by the Fund may affect the Fund's value more than if it invested in a larger number of issuers.
Recency Risk. The Fund is recently organized, giving prospective investors a limited track record on which to base their investment decision.
If the Fund is not profitable, the Fund may terminate and liquidate at a time that is disadvantageous to Shareholders. The XRP Ledger differentiates itself from other digital asset networks in that its stated primary function is transactional utility, not store of value. Today, there is limited use of XRP in the retail, commercial, or payments spaces, and, on a relative basis, speculators make up a significant portion of users. The significant holdings of XRP by Ripple Labs and other early stakeholders could have an adverse effect on the market price of XRP.
Bitwise Investment Advisers, LLC serves as the sponsor of the Fund. Foreside Fund Services, LLC serves as the Marketing Agent for the Fund, and is not affiliated with Bitwise Investment Advisers, LLC, Bitwise, or any of its affiliates.

BMJ Group: Health Impacts of Eating Disorders Complex and Long-Lasting

Health impacts of eating disorders complex and long-lasting
Risks highest within first 12 months, but remain high for years afterwards

The health impacts of eating disorders, such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, are not only complex, affecting many different organ systems, but long-lasting, finds a large tracking study (https://bmjmedicine.bmj.com/lookup/doi/10.1136/bmjmed-2025-001438), ... Show Full Article LONDON, England, Nov. 20 (TNSjou) -- BMJ Group issued the following news release about their journal "BMJ Medicine": * * * Health impacts of eating disorders complex and long-lasting Risks highest within first 12 months, but remain high for years afterwards Findings highlight need for integrated health service provision and continued monitoring * The health impacts of eating disorders, such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, are not only complex, affecting many different organ systems, but long-lasting, finds a large tracking study (https://bmjmedicine.bmj.com/lookup/doi/10.1136/bmjmed-2025-001438),published in the open access journal BMJ Medicine.
The risks of serious conditions, such as diabetes, renal and liver failure, fractures, and premature death, are particularly high within the first 12 months of diagnosis. But these heightened risks persist for years, highlighting the need for timely integrated multidisciplinary health services and continued monitoring to improve outcomes, conclude the researchers.
UK rates of eating disorders have risen significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, note the researchers. But while the detrimental mental and physical consequences are well known, the long term effects are less well understood, they add.
To strengthen the evidence base, the researchers scrutinised anonymised medical records in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, linked to Hospital Episode Statistics and death certification data for people across England over a 20 year period (1998 to 2018 inclusive).
Some 24,709 people, aged 10-44, with a diagnosed eating disorder, were matched for age, sex, and GP practice with up to 20 others without these disorders (493,001 in total), and their mental and physical health tracked for 10 years.
Most (89%) of the entire sample was female. And among those with eating disorders, 14.5% (3577) had anorexia; 20.5% (5085) had bulimia; 5% (1215) had a binge eating disorder; and in 60% (14,832), the eating disorder was unspecified.
Analysis of the data revealed that eating disorders were associated with substantially higher risks of poor physical and mental health, and premature death.
Within the first year of diagnosis, people with eating disorders were 6 times more likely to be diagnosed with renal failure and nearly 7 times more likely to be diagnosed with liver disease, as well as being at significantly heightened risks of osteoporosis (6 times as high), heart failure (twice as high), and diabetes (3 times as high).
The risks of renal failure and liver disease were still 2.5 to nearly 4 times higher after 5 years, with 110 and 26 more cases than would be expected, respectively, per 10,000 people at 10 years.
Similarly, the risks of poor mental health were significantly higher 12 months after an eating disorder diagnosis: the risks of depression were 7 times higher, with 596 additional cases per 10,000 people, while those of self-harm were more than 9 times as high, with an additional 309 cases/10,000. And although they were lower, these heightened risks persisted after 5 years.
The risk of death from any cause within the first 12 months of diagnosis was also more than 4 times as high, and for unnatural deaths, including suicide, it was 5 times as high. After 5 years, these risks were still 2 and 3 times higher, corresponding to 43/10,000 extra deaths from all causes and 184/100,000 extra deaths from unnatural causes.
And 10 years after diagnosis, the equivalent figures for additional deaths amounted to 95/10,000 and 341/100,000, respectively. The risk of suicide was nearly 14 times higher in the first year but was still nearly 3 times higher after 10 years, accounting for 169 additional deaths/100,000 people.
The researchers acknowledge that the medical records data didn't include the severity of the eating disorder, making it impossible to link severity to worse outcomes.
But they say: "Our data describe the substantial long term effects of eating disorders and emphasise the potential opportunity for primary care to have a greater role in offering support and long term monitoring for individuals who are recovering from an eating disorder."
They suggest: "A closer and more cohesive management approach in primary and specialist care may also be needed, for both physical (nephrology, cardiology, and endocrinology) and mental health services to provide this support."
They add: "A potential gap exists in provision where patients' difficulties are too complex for low intensity brief interventions, but not complex enough for specialist teams."
And they conclude:"Raising awareness among healthcare providers about the lasting effects of eating disorders and the need for ongoing support in managing current symptoms and recovery is essential."
In a linked editorial, Dr Jennifer Couturier and Ethan Nella of McMaster University, Ontario, Canada, point out that despite the high prevalence of eating disorders, "their consequences are under-recognised."
They add: "Earlier studies have illustrated the limited education given during medical training on the topic of eating disorders, and the current study emphasises the importance of disseminating this knowledge to all healthcare professionals.
"Medical education should place greater emphasis on the recognition and management of eating disorders, to equip primary care providers, specialists, and allied health professionals with the tools to identify early warning signs and monitor ongoing risks associated with eating disorders."
They conclude: "Multiple organ systems are affected by eating disorders, which then requires an integration of care to adequately treat patients. This situation places primary care providers in an ideal position for leading and coordinating [their] care, and suggests that primary care settings would be apt for early and ongoing intervention."
