Boerse Stuttgart's Bison App to Launch Crypto Exchange Platform, Binance Debuts Two New Trading Pairs, US Legislators Introduce Bill to Sanction Iran's Crypto Development and the Bank of Israel Requests DLT Information

Though seeming to cool down on Friday, the crypto market picked up steam over the weekend and is starting the week with a total market capitalization of $141 billion USD at press time, according to CoinMarketCap. Most of the top 100 coins listed by market cap are in the green. Bitcoin (BTC), XRP, Ether (ETH) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) are leading with trading prices of $4125, $0.42, $148 and $195, respectively.
Bison App, a crypto app powered by Germany's Boerse Stuttgart stock exchange, has announced via Twitter that its plans for a crypto trading platform will enter a beta phase in January 2019. The platform will initially support Bitcoin, XRP, Ether and Litecoin (LTC).
Leading crypto exchange Binance has announced two new trading pairs in a blog post today. Both Tron (TRX/XRP) and Zcoin (XZC/XRP) debuted today. Notably, this is the first instance of Binance using XRP as a base currency in a trading pair. Elsewhere, CCN quotes Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, or CZ, on the state of the crypto space. The quote is taken from a conversation on the program "Bloomberg Daybreak: Middle East".
"2018 has been a tough year in terms of pricing for the cryptocurrency. And we see a lot of projects not making it this year, so it's a correction year. But technology will stay, and we wanna kick off 2019 with a bang… So I think the people in the industry are still very confident about the future. So there's no worries about that."
U.S. legislators have introduced a bill into the House of Representatives that would impose sanctions on Iran's cryptocurrency development. Citing concerns of money laundering and funding of terrorism from the Islamic republic, the bill seeks to sanction foreign individuals who participate in transactions with Iran as well.
The Bank of Israel has filed a request for information with regard to digital ledger technology, or as the press release reads: "Regulatory Coordination of Virtual Assets". The document explains that the Bank of Israel is seeking to better understand the technology so that it may better regulate it.
The team would like to monitor developments in this area in Israel and abroad, and to examine the issues concerning the application of regulation to the various uses of the technology and their implications for economic activity, the financial markets and financial stability. The team will gather data and information for the purpose of creating a knowledge base on the issue for regulators and the public, and in order to formulate recommendations regarding the desired regulatory policy.

BCH Rockets Back to 4th Highest Market Cap, Facebook Developing Crypto for WhatsApp, Coinbase Expands to 6 New European Markets, Crypto ATMs On the Rise and Brazilian Supermarket Accepts Crypto Payments

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:FB)

As we enter the weekend the crypto market seems to be mellowing after a considerable rally this week. Despite grazing the $100 billion USD mark around this time last week, the total market cap is sitting at $132 billion at press time, according to CoinMarketCap. This is down a bit from the peak seen yesterday of $137 billion. In the course of this week's rally, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has rocketed back into fourth place in terms of market cap, displacing EOS and now leading the latter by about $900 million. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading for $4032, XRP for $0.37 and Ether (ETH) for $113.
Bloomberg reports that Facebook (NasdaqGS:FB) is developing a cryptocurrency for messaging app WhatsApp. Unnamed sources told Bloomberg that it will be a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar and will initially be focused on remittances. The article quotes a Facebook spokesman:
"Like many other companies, Facebook is exploring ways to leverage the power of blockchain technology. This new small team is exploring many different applications. We don't have anything further to share."
Crypto exchange giant Coinbase announced its expansion into six new European markets in a blog post yesterday. These include Andorra, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Iceland, the Isle of Man and Lithuania. The post indicates that users in these regions will be able to fully utilize Coinbase.com and the iOS and Android apps, and that Coinbase Pro and Prime will me made available at a later date. Coinbase adds that they plan to expand further still in 2019.
The website Coin ATM Radar has published data which shows that the number of new Crypto ATMs has continued to increase even as the market has declined. The data indicates that though the price of Bitcoin was down about 35 percent from the beginning of November to the end, the growth of ATMs roughly kept pace with October, growing 3.6 percent.
A Brazilian supermarket chain began accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment on Tuesday, according to local outlet Portal do Bitcoin. Oásis Supermercados, a chain of supermarkets in Rio de Janeiro allows purchases with Bitcoin, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash. Manager Douglas Andrade said the decision was made by his brother Thiago, a fellow manager, after the latter had watched a video explaining adoption of cryptocurrencies. Andrade called the process "too easy" and said:
"It is the same as the payment by credit card. The client says which cryptocurrency he wants to pay, the operator types in and the system already converts to that crypto. Then [they] just get the QR code and you're done."

#Cannabisstocks: Yield Growth (CSE: $BOSS.C) Signs Agreements to Sell #Cannabis Topicals through 400 Store Distribution Network in Oregon @yieldgrowth


VANCOUVER, British Columbia - December 21, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS, C.BOSS) reports that its new subsidiary UJ Topicals Inc. has entered agreements with Nova Paths LLC to manufacture and distribute its THC and CBD infused line of topical products throughout the state of Oregon. Nova Paths is an Oregon Liquor Control Commission approved and licensed manufacturer and distributor of cannabis products in Oregon.
Yield Growth's wholly-owned subsidiary, UJ Topicals Inc., has granted to Nova Paths a non-exclusive license to its brand and proprietary product formulations for pain balm, analgesic pain gel, a pain patch, massage oil, capsules, and other products (the "UJ Topicals Line"). Nova Paths will manufacture CBD and THC infused versions of the products under Oregon law. UJ Topicals has also appointed Nova Paths as its exclusive distributor for the UJ Topicals Line in Oregon. Under the terms of the agreements, Nova Paths will retain a fee of 25% of the wholesale revenues from sales of UJ Topicals and pay the balance of wholesale revenue, less certain expenses, to UJ Topicals.
New Frontier Data projects $1.04 billion in Oregon's total cannabis sales in 2020 - $856 million recreational, $187 million medical. That will rank the state as the fifth largest US market behind California ($3.1 billion), Washington ($2.28 billion), Colorado ($1.83 billion) and Massachusetts ($1.05 billion).
"We are excited to bring our high-quality, Ayurveda-inspired products infused with THC and CBD to Oregon," said Penny Green, CEO of Yield Growth and UJ Topicals. "We will now look to finding licensing partners to launch our THC infused line of topicals in other legal states such as California and Washington."
UJ Topicals Inc. was recently incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Yield Growth. It has acquired rights from Yield Growth subsidiary, Urban Juve Provisions Inc., to infuse its catalogue of over 50 product formulas with CBD and THC and market the products through appropriate channels. UJ Topicals is developing several international topicals brands with the intent of launching them in jurisdictions where cannabis topicals are legal. The Yield Growth Corp. is building an international network for the legal manufacturing and sale of products containing hemp oil, CBD and THC.
Topicals are cannabis-infused products which are most popularly chosen for localized pain relief, muscle soreness, tension, and inflammation.  Anecdotal evidence exists for an even wider spectrum of benefits, from psoriasis, dermatitis and itching, to headaches and cramping. Topicals are a fast growing industry within the cannabis sector. According to data from BDS Analytics, sales of topical cannabis products grew by 82% from 2016 to 2017 in Colorado, Washington, Oregon and California. Legal topicals sold in these states included CBD and THC infused creams, lotions, massage oils, lubricants, lip balm and patches, with infused balms and salves being the top selling items.

#CBD and #Hemp Market gets Green Light as #FarmBill Becomes Law; Tilray, Canopy Growth Corporation and Entrepreneurial Companies Blaze a New Path; $HIPH, $ETII


POINT ROBERTS, Wash and DELTA, B.C. - December 21, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks, releases a snapshot looking at the growing global opportunity in the CBD and Hemp market as large scale deals are announced and the industry gets a green light with the historic Presidential signing of the 2018 Farm Bill.
Many companies, both large and small, have been taking note of the potential opportunities the Farm Bill will generate and have been working diligently to be prepare for this moment.
Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY), a global leader in cannabis research and production, plans to be one of the leaders with recent announcements of its letter of intent to purchase hemp-derived CBD isolate from LiveWell Canada , in addition to news of a joint research partnership with Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:BUD) into non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused beverages.
The deal with LiveWell calls for them to supply Tilray with CBD isolate made from hemp cultivated and processed in the U.S. and Canada, with first supply commencing in February 2019. The CBD isolate will be used to process finished CBD cannabis products for distribution by Tilray in Canadian and U.S. markets, subject to applicable federal and local laws and regulations.
Now that the Farm Bill has been signed into law and Canada has opened the doors for edibles in 2019, the path is clear.
AB InBev (NYSE:BUD) is the third alcohol company to partner or invest in a Canadian marijuana producer after Molson Coors Brewing Co. signed a joint venture with Hexo Corp. and, most famously, Constellation Brands Inc. invested in Canopy Growth Corp (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) to become the biggest shareholder in the company. Tobacco company Altria Group Inc. also announced a $1.8 billion investment in Cronos Group Inc. this month.
Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth Corporation, the world's largest diversified hemp and cannabis company, commented on the passage of the Farm Bill, saying, "Canopy Growth commends the United States government for passing the Farm Bill, a transformative piece of legislation that will create jobs and meaningful economic impact across the United States."
"Canopy Growth will participate in the American market now that there is a clear federally-permissible path to the market. Consistent with the spirit of the Farm Bill, Canopy Growth will participate in ways that support American farmers," continued Linton.
One notable difference in the Tilray/AB InBev deal is that unlike the Constellation and Altria deals, both of which include the option to take majority control in the future, Tilray wanted to remain independent. Chief Executive Officer Brendan Kennedy said, "We want to control our own destiny. We haven't sold our company to anyone, we're not looking to get bought or acquired."
Smaller, but just as ambitious, American Premium Water Corporation (OTC:HIPH), a company focused on harnessing the powers of hydrogen and Nano technologies paired with cannabidiol (CBD) to treat health disorders and enhance quality of life, has also been making preparations for the soon to expand CBD sector. The company recently announced that it has entered into a letter of intent with the California based subsidiary of Growpacker, Inc, which offers local and international brands key services, such as manufacturing, co-packing, and distribution for THC & CBD infused products. Growpacker will provide these services for the Company; internal LALPINA CBD branded products as well as manufacturing and co-packing for white label and co-branded products utilizing the Company's proprietary CBD and THC formulations.
Also trying to posture for market share, one company has taken a different approach. EnviroTechnologies International Inc. (OTC:ETII), a company that develops and markets green, natural and organic products for diverse industries recently announced that its subsidiary, CBD Health Co., (www.cbdhealthco.com), that markets and sells high quality and proprietary hemp-based, natural CBD health products, has placed its focus away from the seemingly oversaturated CBD beverage market and instead on hemp-based pet supplement products development. But that is just one of the many products they plan to roll out.
In the news Enviro said, "Current research shows that there are several common CBD benefits for dogs, which are, 1) powerful painkiller (the ECS is involved in managing pain and CBD's pain killing properties are well documented); 2) effective anticonvulsant (CBD helps control seizures, tremors, tics and spasms); 3) natural anti-inflammatory; 4) anxiety and stress reducer (anxiety in dogs often results in in barking, urination and defecation, chewing and aggression); 5) active antiemetic (reduces nausea and vomiting); and 6) homeostasis promoter (proper functioning of the body).
Continued: "Pet owners are committed to their pet's health well-being and are willing to spend money on pet health products, which make this a multi-billion-dollar market, worldwide," said Gaylord Karren, ETI's President. "We hope to introduce our CBD pet products in 2019 as we believe that our CBD pet products will be superior to those currently offered in this huge industry and will create another profitable channel for our CBD products."
As the international markets for CBD and Hemp open up, how big of a player the US will be is yet to be determined, but with so much news and attention devoted to the 2018 Farm Bill, it is safe to say the changes to industrial hemp laws in the US will have far reaching effects on the global beverage, health and wellness, agriculture and textiles amd pet market moving into the future.
