Coinbase Encouraged by Japan's FSA Toughness, Bitcoin.com Plans to Launch Exchange According to CEO Roger Ver, Singapore's Monetary Authority Wants to Bring Banks and Crypto Startups Together and New Research Shows Crypto Hedge Fund Launches Accelerating from 2017

Nikkei Asian Review reports that Coinbase is encouraged by Japan's tough scrutiny on the crypto sector as they try for approval to operate in the country. The company's chief policy advisor, Mike Lempres, affirmed that Coinbase has a robust level of security to assure Japan's Financial Services Authority (FSA), and that licensing talks are "going well". A potential difficulty, however, may result if the FSA requires Coinbase's exchange to be managed in Japan.
"We have everything built to protect our storage... in the U.S. We won't do anything to even raise possibility of a hack. It would be hard for us to duplicate what we do in the U.S. today in Japan and other countries."
Roger Ver, the CEO of Bitcoin.com, a crypto wallet provider, told Bloomberg that the company plans to buy or develop its own exchange.
"If we build it ourselves, we can do it really, really cheap, and we get exactly what we want," he said of the the firm's early-stage plans. "But we don't have the security of a battle-tested exchange that's been around for a while."
Ver is a strong proponent of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and said it would be the base-currency for the planned exchange.
An article on Bloomberg yesterday reported that Singapore's central bank and financial regulator wants to cultivate the fintech sector by making it easier for crypto startups to start working with banks. Ravi Menon, the managing director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, emphasized that growth would not be achieved by relaxing regulations, but to get crypto firms and banks together.
"We should not be trying to create an extremely lax regulatory environment in order to attract that kind of business. What we are trying to do is to bring the banks and cryptocurrency fintech startups together to see if there is some understanding they can reach."
Recent data from Crypto Research Fund shows that, despite the bear market seen so far this year, the launch of new cryptocurrency investment funds has actually accelerated from 2017. This year crypto hedge funds are projected to reach 120, up from 118 in 2017 and 21 in 2016. This contrasts with the decline in all hedge funds launched this year, which is projected to be 596, down from 735 last year. When crypto funds based on venture capital and private equity are included, the total projection for this year comes to 220 new crypto funds.

Investorideas.com - Security companies positioned to capitalize on growth in the legal #marijuana market; Companies mentioned - DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: $DIRV), Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: $WEED.TO) ( NYSE: $CGC), Aurora Cannabis (TSX: $ACB.TO), (OTC: $ACBFF)

Investorideas.com - Security companies positioned to capitalize on growth in the legal #marijuana market; Companies mentioned - DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: $DIRV), Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: $WEED.TO) ( NYSE: $CGC), Aurora Cannabis (TSX: $ACB.TO), (OTC: $ACBFF)



Security companies positioned to capitalize on growth in the legal #marijuana market; Companies mentioned - DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: $DIRV), Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: $WEED.TO) ( NYSE: $CGC), Aurora Cannabis (TSX: $ACB.TO), (OTC: $ACBFF)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - October 10, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) a leading investor news resource covering security and cannabis stocks releases a sector snapshot looking at how the two sectors are growing synergistically.
According to an article in SecuritySales.com, "Security companies are well positioned to take advantage of growth in the legal marijuana space. Once the products reach the warehouse or dispensary shelves, marijuana companies rely on advanced security systems including visual and audio surveillance to protect their valuables and even their license. In order to prevent diversion of product, most state cannabis regulations require growers, storage facilities, processors and dispensaries to have advanced video security systems."
DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: DIRV), a video surveillance solutions technology company just announced its rollout and plans to enter the cannabis and CBD markets, to provide and install custom-tailored security, surveillance and safety equipment to meet their regulatory and compliance requirements.
Roger Ralston, CEO and Chairman of DirectView said, "Businesses that operate in the legal cannabis space are required to follow strict regulatory guidelines. One of the most important requirements is proper Security, Surveillance and Safety Systems. Take Colorado as an example: They have dispensaries that operate entirely on cash and have large inventories of cannabis and related products. This creates an environment where top-of-the-line security and surveillance systems, like those provided by DirectView, are a necessity. In addition to cameras, access control systems are usually a prerequisite."
In addition to extensive security and surveillance, CBD extraction facilities are required to take proper safety precautions. There is a risk of fire and explosions when dealing with flammable gasses and liquids in the production of CBD extracts, while C02 extraction can put occupants in danger from lowering the levels of oxygen. DirectView is a provider of class 1, division 1 explosion-proof cameras for special use in the CBD extraction rooms and in places where they otherwise are required.
"What we're seeing now are specialized extraction rooms; they have to be self-closing, they have to have an air exhaust system in place with panic hardware and they have to have gas detectors present. In addition, special class 1 division 1 explosion-proof cameras, which we provide, are required," Roger Ralston, CEO & Chairman of DirectView said. "We are seeing a unique opportunity to incorporate our access control solutions to these specialized extraction rooms as well. We believe this will prove to be a valuable vertical for DirectView," he concluded.
March Networks, a video surveillance and video-based business intelligence solutions provider to the cannabis industry, announced in August that a ‘publicly-traded producer’, with multiple brands and a global presence, chose the March Networks solution based on its proven reliability, ability to support thousands of locations, and its Searchlight business intelligence software. The news release did not name the stock but the Director of Information Security at Canopy Growth Corporation ( TSX: WEED.TO) ( NYSE: CGC) was a previous Director of IT at March Networks according to his Linkedin Profile.
An article, ‘Medical marijuana producer moving into Pointe Claire tries to ease neighbours' concerns’, shows how addressing security and surveillance plays a role in addressing residential concerns in opening up in a new area.  “Aurora Cannabis (TSX: ACB.TO) (ACBFF) is taking over the old Peloton plant on Hymus near Alston. It's the world's second largest medical marijuana producer. Residents near the site were uneasy with the thought of a medical marijuana company moving in. They were concerned about possibly more crime in their neighbourhood and smells wafting out."
Executive Vice President of Aurora Cannabis, Cam Battley said similar concerns have been addressed at other facilities. "Under Health Canada regulations, the security at these facilities has to be very high and for example, there must be cameras covering every square inch of the production facility to ensure that there can be no diversion to the black market," said Battley, adding, “there are 150 surveillance cameras at their Calgary plant."
Note to investors following the company; Aurora Cannabis Inc(TSX: ACB.TO) (ACBFF)  (Frankfurt: 21P; WKN: A1C4WM), announced that the Company has filed an application to list its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").  Aurora's shares will trade on the NYSE under ticker symbol "ACB", the same symbol the Company's common shares currently and will continue to trade under on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). Aurora will also continue to trade on the OTCQX under the ticker symbol "ACBFF" until completion of the NYSE listing.
Headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with funded capacity in excess of 500,000 kg per annum and sales and operations in 18 countries across five continents, Aurora is one of the world's largest and leading cannabis companies. Aurora is vertically integrated and horizontally diversified across every key segment of the value chain, from facility engineering and design to cannabis breeding and genetics research, cannabis and hemp production, derivatives, high value-add product development, home cultivation, wholesale and retail distribution.
Highly differentiated from its peers, Aurora has established a uniquely advanced, consistent and efficient production strategy, based on purpose-built facilities that integrate leading-edge technologies across all processes, defined by extensive automation and customization, resulting in the massive scale production of high quality product at ultra-low costs. Intended to be replicable and scalable globally, these production facilities are designed to produce cannabis of significant scale, with high quality, industry-leading yields, and ultra-low per gram production costs. Each of Aurora's facilities is built to meet EU GMP standards, and its first production facility, the recently acquired MedReleaf Markham facility, and its wholly owned European medical cannabis distributor Aurora Deutschland (formerly Pedanios), have achieved this level of certification.
In addition to the Company's rapid organic growth and strong execution on strategic M&A, which to date includes 15 companies – MedReleaf, CanvasRX, Peloton Pharmaceutical, Aurora Deutschland (formerly Pedanios), H2 Biopharma, Urban Cultivator, BC Northern Lights, Larssen Greenhouses, CanniMed Therapeutics, Anandia Labs, HotHouse Consulting, Agropro, Borela, and the pending acquisition of ICC Labs – Aurora is distinguished by its reputation as a partner and employer of choice in the global cannabis sector, having invested in and established strategic partnerships with a range of leading innovators, including: The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TGOD.TO), Radient Technologies Inc. (RTI.V), Hempco Food and Fiber Inc. (HEMP.V), Cann Group Ltd. (CAN.AX), Micron Waste Technologies Inc. (CSE:MWM), Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE:CHOO), Namaste Technologies Inc. (TSXV:N.V), Evio Beauty Group (private), Wagner Dimas (private), CTT Pharmaceuticals (CTTH), and Alcanna Inc. (CLIQ.TO).

Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com Potcast - following Cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
Today we will be looking at announcements from Canopy Growth Corporation trading on the TSX as WEED and the NYSE as CGC, TerrAscend Corp. trading on the CSE as TER, Aurora Cannabis Inc. trading on the TSX as ACB and Cannvas MedTech Inc. trading on the CSE as MTEC,
First looking at Canopy Growth Corporation where licence amendments for Canopy Growth Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary, BC Tweed Joint Venture Inc. and its majority-owned joint venture, Les Serres Vert Cannabis Inc. (Vert Cannabis) were issued by Health Canada, collectively representing approximately 1.1 million sq. ft. of new greenhouse growing space on Canada's largest cannabis platform.
The Company has, through its subsidiaries, established a 5.6 million sq. ft. platform, which is now over 75% licensed. This infrastructure will increase the quantity and diversity of products available to retail and wholesale customers in the recreational market and fortify the supply of cannabis products available to its medical customers.
"Our regulatory team and the teams in Delta and Mirabel have worked hard to bring these large-scale greenhouses online. Credit is due to these teams and the entire organization as we continue the push forward into a transformative year for our business," said Mark Zekulin, President and co-CEO, Canopy Growth.
These licence amendments are a major step forward but more capacity is required before the entire Canopy Growth platform is operational.
Another big moment for Canopy Growth today, as well the Cannabis industry at large, as the company has completed the first legal transfer of cannabis products to a research partner in the United States. To the Company's knowledge, this transfer is the first export of legal cannabis products from Canada to the United States pursuant to an import permit issued by the federal United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The shipment was completed for the sole purpose of supporting medical research and development.
Currently, sources of federally regulated cannabis in the United States are limited in scope and genetic diversity. Canopy Growth believes that it can add value to the market and enable the development of rigorous testing standards for products, while advancing the understanding of the risks and benefits of medical cannabis. The advancement of this research stands to serve Americans, Canadians and those around the world who may benefit from legal, approved cannabis based medical treatments.
"The United States presents a unique market opportunity and as the most established cannabis business in the world we, in turn, offer a unique ability to advance standardization, IP development, and clinical research that can improve the understanding and legal application of cannabis and cannabinoids," said Mark Zekulin, President and Co-CEO, Canopy Growth. "By engaging in the market through federally legal means and with the right partners, we can create a US-based centre of expertise while also supporting our rapidly expanding global business."
TerrAscend Corp. today announced that the Company intends to explore and pursue growth opportunities in the US, including potential acquisitions of operators in states that have legalized cannabis for therapeutic or adult-use. The Company has identified acquisition prospects with significant market share, strong brand recognition and substantial global potential. With an experienced management team, engaged board, and supportive shareholder base, TerrAscend's goal is to become the leading multi-state operator in the US cannabis industry while continuing to capitalize on sizable opportunities in Canada and the rest of the world.
To support its new strategy, the Company has entered into an agreement with Canopy Growth Corporation, Canopy Rivers Corporation (a subsidiary of Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSXV: RIV)) and entities controlled by Jason Wild, Chairman of the Company ("JW Asset Management"), to reorganize the capital of the Company and obtain waivers of certain contractual covenants currently restricting TerrAscend from operating in the United States.
"We see a tremendous opportunity for TerrAscend shareholders to benefit from an early-mover strategy as we grow our business organically and through disciplined acquisitions in those states and countries that have legalized cannabis," said Michael Nashat, President and Chief Executive Officer of TerrAscend. "Thanks to the ongoing collective support from Canopy Growth, Canopy Rivers and JW Asset Management, our proposed capital reorganization will position TerrAscend to pursue value-generating growth on a global scale."
Aurora Cannabis Inc. announced today that the Company has filed an application to list its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").
Listing of the Company's common shares on the NYSE remains subject to the approval of the NYSE and the satisfaction of all applicable listing and regulatory requirements. Aurora anticipates that, subject to receipt of all required approvals, trading in its common shares on the NYSE will commence before the end of October 2018. In advance of the intended listing, the Company has filed a Form 40-F Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Aurora's shares will trade on the NYSE under ticker symbol "ACB", the same symbol the Company's common shares currently, and will continue to, trade under on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). Aurora will also continue to trade on the OTCQX under the ticker symbol "ACBFF" until completion of the NYSE listing. Upon receipt of all required approvals and completion of the formal listing process, the Company will publicly announce its first trading date on the NYSE. Aurora furthermore intends to voluntarily delist its shares from the OTCQX at such time.
Cannvas MedTech Inc. Announced today that the long awaited Cannvas.Me, its first cannabis-centric service offering to the public, is now available online at http://Cannvas.Me.
Cannvas.Me is an unbiased educational resource for medicinal and adult-use cannabis users. It is a comprehensive solution for the global cannabis community offering innovative tools and physician-backed content to all audiences wishing to learn about health care through cannabis.
"As the legalization of cannabis in Canada quickly approaches, Cannvas.Me fills the knowledge gap with credible information on the potential benefits of cannabis brought forth by physicians and certified educators," said Shawn Moniz, Chief Executive Officer, Cannvas MedTech Inc. "The Cannvas.Me educational portal has something for just about everybody with information available to users where and when they need it. Whether on a tablet in a medical clinic, at home on a desktop or anywhere on a mobile device, Cannvas.Me provides valuable educational content with no interference from LPs and no pressure to purchase or consume."

EU's Financial Regulator to Report on ICO Rules by 2019, Switzerland's Crypto Fund AG Receives Authority as Asset Manager from Financial Watchdog, UK's Oldest Exchange to Cut Employees as Market Stagnates and Japan's GMO Announces Yen-Pegged Stablecoin for Next Year

Stocks discussed: (TYO:9449)

Reuters reports that the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial watchdog, will assess each ICO individually to see if and how it should be regulated. ESMA chair Steven Maijoor explained the case-by-case basis on which the body would examine each initial coin offering to the European Parliament's economic affairs committee, and that they expect to report on the ICO rules by 2019.
"Some of these ICOs are like a financial instrument. Once it is a financial instrument it comes under a whole regulatory framework. The subsequent question is what do we do with those ICOs that are outside the regulatory world. We will assess that as a board. We expect to report by the end of the year."
In Switzerland, Crypto Fund AG, a subsidiary of Crypto Finance AG, announced today that it has received a license from the Swiss Financial Watchdog. The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) gave the company authorization to act as an asset manager of collective investment schemes, allowing it to "manage and distribute domestic and foreign investment funds to qualified investors and provide investment advice for institutional clients". Jan Brzezek, the CEO and co-founder of parent company Crypto Finance AG, said:
"The FINMA authorization for Crypto Fund AG is a key step for our clients and investors, and for us in becoming a leading provider of digital asset services worldwide."
The U.K.'s oldest crypto exchange, Coinfloor, is laying off most of its staff in the wake of the current bear market, according to the Financial News. Without specifying how many employees would lose their job, Coinfloor CEO Obi Nwosu confirmed to Financial News that the exchange was being forced to make adjustments in response to the state of the market.
"Coinfloor is currently undergoing a business restructure to focus on our competitive advantages in the marketplace and to best serve our clients. As part of this restructure, we are making some staff changes and redundancies."
Japanese internet company GMO Internet, Inc. (TYO:9449), will launch a stablecoin pegged to the Japanese Yen (JPY) next year, according to an announcement on the company's website. The coin will be called GMO Japanese Yen (GJY), and will be issued in Asian markets by GMO's subsidiary exchange, Z.com. A loosely-translated excerpt from the announcement reads:
"...the "yen-pegged currency" collateralized by the Japanese yen is highly likely to be an ideal currency that combines high creditworthiness and low fee and speed of remittance. By issuing the "yen peg currency", GMO Internet will continue to support borderless transactions with creditworthiness.
