CHONBURI, Thailand – Gilas Pilipinas Women reclaimed the Southeast Asian Games crown after a hard-fought 73-70 win over host Thailand in the women’s 5-on-5 basketball final at the Nimibutr Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, December 19.

Their three-peat bid denied after they settled for silver in the 2023 Cambodia edition, Gilas Women got the job done this time without dropping a game.

“I can’t say anything about the girls. I’m so proud of them. They gave it all,” said Philippines head coach Patrick Aquino.

Afril Bernardino and Kacey dela Rosa keyed the Filipinas’ coronation as they both delivered double-doubles when it mattered the most.

Bernardino put up 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 steals, while Dela Rosa produced 17 points and 16 rebounds in the win that gave the Philippines its third women’s 5-on-5 basketball title in the SEA Games following victories in 2019 and 2021.

Sophia Dignadice chimed in 10 points and 3 steals, while Khate Castillo and Janine Pontejos added 9 and 8 points, respectively.

Aquino said beating the hosts on their home turf made the victory more special.

Down by as many as 12 points, the Thais fought back and kept within striking distance until the final seconds, but the Filipinas held their nerve to get the gold.

“The girls worked hard for this. It was a tough game,” Aquino said.

Gilas Women ended the tournament with a 4-0 record, including a resounding 66-55 revenge win over 2023 champion Indonesia in the semifinals. – Rappler.com

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
