eMirror to be displayed in the Valens booth at CES 2026 as Japanese A-PHY ecosystem continues rapid development

HOD HASHARON, Israel and AICHI, Japan, Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Valens Semiconductor (NYSE: VLN) and Sakae Riken Kogyo Co., Ltd today announced the automotive market’s first production-ready MIPI A-PHY-enabled e-mirror. The product, which integrates the Valens VA7000 chipset, delivers an order of magnitude more imaging data than other camera monitoring system solutions on the market, enabling more accurate ADAS and autonomous driving decisions.

MIPI A-PHY is the leading standard for high-speed sensor connectivity in the automotive market, with multiple design wins across silicon vendors. In Japan, the standard is seeing strong momentum, with companies developing sensors, modules, IP and development tools based on this technology. Valens is a key player in this ecosystem, driving industry adoption with its VA7000 A-PHY-compliant chipset.

Leveraging an A-PHY camera from Japanese vendor Nippon Chemi-Con, the e-mirror operates at a high resolution (1,920×1,536) and frame rate (60fps), thanks to the reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity provided by Valens and the MIPI A-PHY standard.

“The digital connectivity standard MIPI A-PHY has allowed us to transmit far more video data than previous generations of e-mirror solutions,” said Kensuke Osawa, General Manager of Digital Product Development Dept. at Sakae Riken. “We are now engaging with our OEM customers and partners with a product that displays sharp, smooth images with no blur – a true leap in performance beyond other e-mirror solutions on the market.”

“MIPI A-PHY is growing all around the world, with Japan at the forefront,” said Adar Segal, Head of the Automotive Business Unit at Valens Semiconductor. “We’ve seen some incredibly innovative products hit the market from that country recently, all thanks to the powerful benefits provided by Valens VA7000 A-PHY-compliant chipsets – high bandwidth connectivity with best-in-class EMI resilience. As the leading provider of MIPI A-PHY solutions, we look forward to continuing to work with Japanese innovators to push the boundaries of in-vehicle connectivity and automotive innovation.”

At CES 2026, Valens will display the Sakae Riken A-PHY e-mirror in a closed meeting room (#N231) at North Hall, LVCC. There, guests will also be able to observe the rapidly evolving MIPI A-PHY ecosystem with multiple A-PHY-enabled products on display.

Institutions Now Control Nearly a Quarter of Available Bitcoin Supply

The post Institutions Now Control Nearly a Quarter of Available Bitcoin Supply appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin 21 September 2025 | 11:00 Fresh figures from BitcoinTreasuries reveal just how concentrated Bitcoin ownership has become among institutions. According to the data, about 3.74 million BTC — nearly 18% of all coins in circulation — are now in the hands of companies, funds, governments, and other organizations. The biggest share belongs to ETFs and publicly listed companies, which have expanded their holdings rapidly since the U.S. approved spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year. In total, 332 entities are known to hold reserves: 192 public firms, 44 funds, 68 private companies, 13 governments, 11 DeFi projects, and four major custodians or exchanges. Share of the Available Supply When adjusted for coins that are unlikely to ever move — including the estimated 1.1 million BTC mined by Satoshi Nakamoto and up to 3.7 million that are believed lost — institutional ownership represents closer to 23–25% of the effective supply. Global Distribution The United States leads the pack, with 118 entities reporting Bitcoin reserves. Canada comes next with 43, followed by the UK (21), Japan (12), and Hong Kong (12). Together, these countries dominate the institutional landscape of Bitcoin adoption, both through corporate treasuries and financial products. Growing Influence The sharp increase in institutional ownership coincides with two trends: the arrival of regulated ETFs in major markets and the rise of digital asset treasury firms that manage crypto reserves in the same way corporations handle cash. The shift has accelerated in 2025, further solidifying Bitcoin’s role as a strategic asset in global finance. With nearly a quarter of liquid supply now in institutional hands, Bitcoin’s trajectory is increasingly tied to the strategies of companies, funds, and even governments — raising new questions about how decentralized the ecosystem really is.
