Bitfury and Coinbase May Be Considering IPOs, Ripple Report a Doubling of XRP Revenue from Q2 to Q3, India's Supreme Court Asks for 2-Week Deadline on Status of Crypto and Mastercard Applies for Patent for "Fractional Reserves of Blockchain Currency"

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:MA)

Bloomberg reports that crypto mining startup Bitfury is considering becoming Europe's first initial public offering (IPO) in the crypto space. Bitfury makes crypto mining gear and posted revenue of around $450 million USD for the 12 months ending in March of this year. Citing "people familiar with the matter", the report says that Bitfury has reached out to investment banks around the world, including London, Amsterdam and Hong Kong. The sources say Bitfury could seek a valuation of $3 billion USD to $5 billion USD. Representatives of the company have yet to comment.

CNBC Africa's host of Crypto Trader, Ran Neuner, tweeted that crypto exchange giant Coinbase will soon announce an IPO. On December 14, 2017, Coinbase president Asiff Hirji told CNBC that an IPO would most likely happen eventually.

"It is certainly in the interest of our investors…and the most obvious path of Coinbase is to go public at some point, but there's a lot for us to do between now and then, whenever that date is."

Ripple recently published a report which showed that revenues from the sale of its token XRP doubled in the third quarter from the second quarter of 2018. Total sales from Q3 clocked in at $163 million USD over the $73 million from Q2.

The Economic Times reports that India's Supreme Court has asked for a report on the legal status of cryptocurrency from the government within two weeks. Though crypto trading is not currently illegal in India, the country's central bank, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), has ordered a stop to trading and discouraged its use.

A newly published application shows that Mastercard (NYSE:MA) wants to patent "a method for managing fractional reserves of blockchain currency". A report on Bitcoin Exchange Guide comments on the surprising nature of this move.

Anyone that knows the history of cryptocurrency is probably seeing some red flags, considering that one of the issues that Bitcoin was supposed to fix is fractional reserve banking. Most crypto enthusiasts would rather see this type of banking completely erased from the financial industry, and they don't appreciate currency that is founded in debt.

The report goes on to say:

Mastercard seems to believe that there is a lot to be gained in combining crypto tech with traditional tech, and their system would most likely include the current payment networks and products in place.

Investorideas.com - Can #Solar Meet the #Energy Demands of Growing #Cannabis Market? Aurora Cannabis (TSX: $ACB.TO), (NYSE:$ACB), Solar Integrated Roofing (OTC: $SIRC), Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: $CSIQ), Aphria (TSX: $APH.TO), (OTC: $APHQF)

Investorideas.com - Can #Solar Meet the #Energy Demands of Growing #Cannabis Market? Aurora Cannabis (TSX: $ACB.TO), (NYSE:$ACB), Solar Integrated Roofing (OTC: $SIRC), Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: $CSIQ), Aphria (TSX: $APH.TO), (OTC: $APHQF)

Can #Solar Meet the #Energy Demands of Growing #Cannabis Market? Aurora Cannabis (TSX: $ACB.TO), (NYSE:$ACB), Solar Integrated Roofing (OTC: $SIRC), Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: $CSIQ), Aphria (TSX: $APH.TO), (OTC: $APHQF)

New York and Delta, BC - October 26, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including both cannabis and solar stocks issues a snapshot looking at how solar energy has and will play a key role in the future of the cannabis sector. Companies mentioned: Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB.TO) (NYSE: ACB), Solar Integrated Roofing Corporation (OTC: SIRC), Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ), Aphria (TSX: APH.TO ), (OTC: APHQF) and Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. ( TSXV: EMH.V), (OTCQX:EMHTF).

With recreational cannabis now federally legal in Canada and the supply in high demand, (not to mention the 30 US States where cannabis is legal, albeit at different levels), the question of power and supply are becoming a larger part of the conversation.

An article in SolarPowerworld.com sums up the relationship with solar and cannabis best, "Solar and marijuana are ubiquitous. The early, prohibited cannabis industry used solar panels to offset its electric load so the government wouldn't be able to pinpoint high utility bills to illegal grow operations. But the scale of legal cannabis grows today is a bigger energy concern than the few hidden plants of yesterday."

As reported by cannabis intel firm New Frontier Group, cannabis growers use a massive amount of electricity. "We're talking enough to power 1.7 million homes. This is actually about 1% of the entire energy consumption of the United States. And it's only going to increase as the industry continues to grow."

California holds the largest market share in the U.S. solar panel market and it comes as no surprise California has also become one of the largest cannabis sectors in the US to date.

But can solar meet the demands of this freight-train industry?

Solar Integrated Roofing Corporation (OTC: SIRC) is looking to rise to the challenge. Solar Integrated Roofing Corporation CEO, Dave Massey, in recent news said "electricity consumption by the growing cannabis industry represents an opportunity that is hard to overlook. Grow facilities often operate 24/7 using high intensity lighting, special ventilation and air conditioning systems. It was estimated that in 2016 a 5,000 square foot grow facility utilized 41,808 kilowatt-hours per month compared to an average household use of about 630 kilowatt-hours per month. The electrical cost was estimated to be approximately $2,500 per kilogram of cannabis leaf."

From the news – "Recreational marijuana's recent legalization in California gives (OTC: SIRC) an excellent opportunity to explore a new market for our custom designed solar roofing. If the California market proves to be successful, SIRC would consider expansion into other states as the legal environment changes."

"The CBD extraction industry offers another avenue for expansion. Extraction facilities are also high kilowatt-hour users. Mid-range CBD extraction equipment uses almost 10,000 kilowatt-hours per month, with HVAC and other electrical uses (OTC: SIRC) estimates total use in the range of 15,000 kilowatt-hours per month. A well-designed solar roofing installation can lower production costs for the CBD extraction industry."

Looking at well- known solar stock, Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ), an article entitled Canadian Solar Stock: Weed Could Power Up This Solar Play - said "Companies like Canadian Solar Inc. ( NASDAQ: CSIQ) can easily build the required power capacity. The company is working on several big commercial power projects, so the thought of powering a million-square-foot grow-op doesn't seem that unreasonable."

"Canadian Solar could be ripe for the challenge and provide another revenue source for its solar solutions. The company has operations in 20 countries and customers in over 90 countries."

As of December 2017, legal cannabis growers were spending roughly $6 billion on electricity, and this is before legalization in Canada or some of the medical regulation changes in Europe and the UK.

As the Cannabis industry has progressed state by state, and it seems soon now country by country, companies like the Resource Innovation Institute are seeking to provide aide to the industry through publishing best practice studies for the cannabis industry.

In one such guide from Denver Department of Public Health & Environment, they listed three primary reasons why cultivators should look to reduce energy profiles: Economic Competitiveness, Community Relations and Environmental Impact.

Obviously much has changed scale and impact-wise since 2016 when the industry was still nascent but with companies creating massive grow facilities, the energy concern has never been more prominent.

Companies like Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB.TO) (NYSE: ACB), which earlier this year announced its acquisition of approximately 71 acres of land in Medicine Hat, Alberta, where the Company intends shortly to commence construction on a new high-technology hybrid greenhouse cannabis production facility. To this end, the Company has signed a memorandum of understanding with the City of Medicine Hat, concerning terms and a general understanding of potential transactions, including a prospective 10-year, 42 MW energy supply agreement.

The new facility, to be designed and engineered by the Company's wholly owned Aurora Larssen Projects Inc. division, will be named "Aurora Sun" in recognition of Medicine Hat's status as the sunniest city in Canada, with more than 2,500 hours of sunshine per year. At 1,200,000 square feet, or over 21 football fields, the footprint of Aurora Sun will be 50% larger than Aurora's Sky, a 100,000+ kg per year Health Canada licensed facility the Company is completing at Edmonton International Airport.

As facilities of this size become more the norm then the exception, companies like Solar Integrated Roofing Corporation (OTC: SIRC) and Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ) may soon have their "day in the sun".

Energy efficiency and the power of the sun is not new information to one of the leaders in the Canadian cannabis sector, Aphria (TSX: APH.TO ), (OTC: APHQF), a Health Canada Licensed Producer of medical cannabis products. According to an article in insiderFinancial.com- "The firm is reputed to be one of Canada's most cost-efficient producers which engage in the production, supply and sale of medical cannabis. The firm truly deploys solar energy."

The company's website states – "Aphria is truly 'powered by sunlight', allowing for the most natural growing conditions available to produce safe medical cannabis products."

Earlier this year, Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. (TSXV: EMH.V) and Village Farms International, Inc. (TSX: VFF) announced their 50/50 joint venture for large-scale, low-cost, high-quality cannabis production, Pure Sunfarms.

"Pure Sunfarms initiated commercial-scale cannabis production in May of this year and is currently utilizing 225,000 square feet of its 1.1-million square foot Delta 3 greenhouse facility in Delta, BC, with the expectation that the full 1.1 million square feet will be converted for cannabis production by the end of 2018, on schedule and on budget. Upon completion of the conversion, Pure Sunfarms' Delta 3 facility will be one of the single largest cannabis growing facilities in the world."

The technologically-advanced Delta 3 greenhouse design is based on decades of large-scale, low-cost agricultural production experience and extensive cannabis expertise, resulting in a state-of-the-art facility with 17 grow rooms optimized for year-round harvesting (more than 85 harvests annually) and an automated process line encompassing harvesting, trimming, drying and packaging. The greenhouse is designed to cultivate more than 200,000 cannabis plants concurrently.

Commercial production of such scale requires a massive energy supply and though not massively adopted on the market as of yet, the future could look very "Green" for an already growing solar industry.

According to research from Hexa Research, "The U.S. solar panel market size is expected to reach USD 22.90 billion by 2025 as a result of increasing demand from consumers owing to decreased installation cost of solar panel systems. Increasing environmental awareness among customers is driving the adoption of cost-efficient renewable forms of energy over conventional energy sources. The year 2016 witnessed a significant growth in number of installations of solar panels in U.S. For instance, more than 11.8 GW of solar panels were installed in U.S. in 2016."

Today's podcast overview/transcript:

From company news sources

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 National Access Cannabis Corp. trading on the TSX-Venture as META, Canopy Growth Corporation trading on the TSX as WEED and NYSE as CGC, Aurora Cannabis Inc. trading on the NYSE and TSX as ACB and Bevo Agro Inc. Trading on the TSX-Venture as BVO.

National Access Cannabis Corp., a best practices leader in delivering secure, safe, and responsible access to legal cannabis in Canada today announced that five Canadian retail locations owned by NAC have been granted licenses, in the province of Alberta.

NAC acquired 100 per cent of The Green Company Ltd. ("NewLeaf Cannabis") in September 2018 to strengthen and enhance its footprint in the province. The acquisition of NewLeaf Cannabis™ by NAC added a second retail brand to its roster in addition to the Company's existing Meta Cannabis Supply Co.™ ("META") brand.

NAC is working diligently in Alberta to open 37 cannabis retail locations, including 25 proposed NewLeaf Cannabis stores and 12 proposed META stores, as soon as possible. A staff of close to 200 employees excitedly await the opportunity to serve the local communities at the five locations soon to open:

Canopy Growth Corporation issued to Flight North Inc. and Willmont Capital Ltd. an aggregate of 60,488 common shares of Canopy in connection with the share purchase agreement between Canopy, TS Brandco Holdings Inc. and the Vendors. Pursuant to the Agreement, TS Brandco, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Canopy, purchased 10% of the issued and outstanding Class A common shares of 10006215 Manitoba Ltd. ("ManitobaCo") from the Vendors, bringing TS Brandco's total ownership of ManitobaCo to 89.9%. ManitobaCo is a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Manitoba that has been selected by the Government of Manitoba as a prospective licensee under Manitoba cannabis legislation.

The transaction will further enhance Canopy subsidiaries' market share of retail operations in the province of Manitoba.

Aurora Cannabis Inc. announced today that Polish Ministry of Health granted the Company approval for its first shipment of medical cannabis to Poland. In the coming days, Aurora Deutschland GmbH will ship the products to a pain treatment center and a hospital in Warsaw. This is an important milestone for medical patients in Poland, as it is believed to be the first time a non-government run business has been granted approval to supply medical cannabis products in the country.

Under Polish legislation, physicians can prescribe medical cannabis products to patients who can then access it through registered pharmacies. In specific instances, products will be covered under statutory health insurance, thus establishing a new and significant medical market for Aurora.

"Becoming the first company to supply cannabis to Poland is validation of Aurora's ability to do business in international markets with high barriers to entry," said Neil Belot, Chief Global Business Development Officer. "This is an important milestone for patient access in Poland, which will provide options for people seeking alternative medications to help manage symptoms of a wide range of medical conditions. Aurora continues to grow its international footprint, which now spans 19 countries on five continents, and puts us in an enviable position to capitalize on our early mover advantage."

Bevo Agro Inc. announced that it will resume trading on the TSX Venture Exchange effective today, October 25, 2018.

As previously announced on October 4, 2018, Bevo and Sun Pharm have entered into an arrangement agreement with respect to a reverse take-over of Bevo, and announced that the resulting issuer will change its name to Zenabis Global Inc.. Through Sun Pharm's subsidiary licensed producer Zenabis Ltd. , Zenabis Global Inc. will have nearly 3.5 million square feet of available production space. At the closing of the Transaction, Bevo's shareholders will hold shares of one of the world's largest cannabis companies.

Bevo Agro Inc. and Sun Pharm Investments Ltd. also announced that Zenabis has entered into a LOI with Running Leaf Corporation (Running Leaf) to supply up to 11,858 kilograms to October 2020 to Saskatchewan adult-use retailers licensed and approved for adult-use cannabis sales. Zenabis will sell under the premium Namaste brand. Namaste's products include dried flower, milled cannabis, and pre-rolls. Running Leaf Corporation is one of the first wholesale distributors approved to supply cannabis to licensed Saskatchewan retailers.

Running Leaf has issued its first Purchase order with Zenabis to supply its wholesale operation with cannabis for Q4. Zenabis has fulfilled and will ship its first order upon receipt of a license from SGLA. Running Leaf has requested an estimated total volume of up to 11,858 kilograms from Zenabis for its recreational adult-use distribution needs which both parties expect to increase over as product demand grows and shifts into new categories such as edibles (including beverages), and concentrates (including in cartridges). Running Leaf and Zenabis intend to enter into an exclusive supply and distribution agreement under which Running Leaf will be the exclusive distributor of Namaste branded adult-use cannabis in Saskatchewan, and Running Leaf will source exclusive strains from the Namaste by Zenabis brand of Adult Use products. A definitive distribution agreement covering all the points above is expected to be signed shortly - subject to Zenabis receipt of license in Saskatchewan by the SGLA.

Crypto Corner

Sony Develops Crypto Hardware Wallet, Japan's FSA Considers Margin Trading Leverage Cap, South Korea's FSC Warns Against Crypto Funds and Spain Passes Law Compelling Crypto Holdings to Be Reported to Gov't

Japanese electronics giant Sony has developed a cryptocurrency hardware wallet, according to a recent press release. The company's Computer Sciences Laboratories division (Sony CSL) has designed a physical wallet that utilizes IC card technology, which stores users' private keys. The wallet is described as "small, portable and useful" when compared to other existing alternatives that require a USB connection. The release also indicates the wider potential of the hardware wallet.

This IC card-type cryptocurrency hardware wallet technology not only manages the private keys used for cryptocurrency transactions, but also manages private keys used for other purposes, such as those for permitting the use of personal information using blockchain technology. It is an infrastructure technology with multiple possible applications.

Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA), the country's financial watchdog, is considering placing leverage caps on margin trading of cryptocurrencies, according to Nikkei Asian Review. Currently there is no such cap, though some exchanges voluntarily cap at 25 times the deposit. Out of the 16 FSA-registered operators in the country, 7 currently provide margin trading. The report indicates that in fiscal 2017, 80 percent of Japan's crypto transactions were conducted through margin trading. The FSA plans to discuss potential legislation with a panel of experts.

South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) has released documents warning against investment into cryptocurrency. The warning details how crypto funds are in violation of the country's Capital Markets Act, in that they have neither been registered or approved for fundraising from the FSC.

Spanish publication ABC.es reports that Spain has enacted legislation compelling both companies and individuals to disclose their crypto holdings. The country's Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, explained that even citizens with holdings abroad must report them.

"It is stated as mandatory that people and companies inform the Tax Agency about this operation. Likewise, Spaniards "with currency abroad" must also report their possessions in bitcoin and others in the annual declaration of goods abroad."
