Yes, the satellite is SpinSat!
It is confirmed on space REF web site.

SpinSat is deployed with Cyclops which is new deployment system
developed by NASA. Cyclops could deploy 50-100kg class small satellite
using ISS JEM robotic arm.
You can find interesting paper on Small Satellite Conference web site.
