Global Data Classification Market to Reach $1.66 Billion by 2023 at a CAGR of 25.4%

New research from Research and Markets projects global data classification market growth from $536 million USD in 2018 to $1.66 billion USD in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate of 25.4 percent in that forecast period. The report cites regulatory compliance, growth in uncontrolled data volumes, and increased security risks as major growth factors for the market. An excerpt from a report description on PR Newswire reads:
"...the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into data classification solutions and growing demand for data-driven decision making are expected to be providing opportunities for the growth of organizations across industry verticals in the data classification market.
Moreover, companies are integrating technologies such as AI and ML to automatically analyze the behavior of sensitive data and enhance security measures to avoid data breach incidents. These technologies help enterprises to reduce error rates due to manual processes or user interference while classifying sensitive data and empowers the data classification solution to leverage continuous learning processes to automatically categorize data in a more precise and refined way, based on user-defined rules and policies."

Thailand's Stock Exchange Plans to Acquire Digital Asset License, South Africa Looks at Crypto Regulation, New Bill Proposed in Wyoming Allowing Tokenized Stocks and Bitwage Partners to Expand Crypto Salary Service

The Bangkok Post reports that the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) is planning to apply for a digital asset operating licence from the Finance Ministry, which would make them an authorized digital asset exchange. Pattera Dilokrungthirapop, chairwoman of the Association of Securities Companies and vice chairwoman of the SET's board of governors, commented:
"We [securities firms] are not in a hurry to enter the digital asset trade, as some companies are still managing their core businesses, while cryptocurrencies are just one of the [digital] asset classes where brokers can adapt their trading platforms to serve digital trading. Securities firms are currently waiting for the SET to apply for a licence. For us, digital assets are expected to grow in the future as investors gain more understanding of this asset class."
The South African Reserve Bank (SARB), the country's central bank, released a report yesterday detailing the regulatory state of the crypto space and proposing regulation on it. The following excerpt indicates that regulators do not currently intend to ban cryptoassets as they have already seen some degree of adoption, but that further regulation is required.
South Africa does not currently intend to ban the buying, selling or holding of crypto assets, or to ban crypto assets for payments. However, because crypto assets are not recognised as a currency, customers may be exposed to harm in an unregulated environment. The decision not to ban the use of crypto assets is, however, based on the existing landscape and current levels of adoption, acceptance and use. South African authorities, therefore, reserve the right to amend their policy stance should crypto assets pose a material risk to their respective regulatory mandates.
Legislators from the U.S. state of Wyoming have proposed a bill that would allow corporations to issue tokenized stock certificates. If passed, the bill would see shares stored in an electronic format and entered onto a blockchain.
Payroll and HR Services company Bitwage is partnering with payroll company Simply Efficient HR to give more firms the ability to pay employees with cryptocurrency, according to a report from CoinDesk. The partnership will expand Bitwage's service beyond its current user base of 20,000. Currently, Bitwage has 45 active company clients, including peer-to-peer exchange company Paxful. Paxful controller, Hayel Abbassi said:
"Bitwage bridges the gap between bitcoin and the traditional finance system. Paxful simply sends bitcoin to an address, and our employees receive net checks with the proper federal and state taxes withheld."

#Cannabisstocks: ISBG (OTCQB: $ISBG) Books First Major #CBD Purchase Order, Sees Accelerating 2019 Financial Performance, @DrinkISBG


LAS VEGAS, NV - January 17, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) International Spirits and Beverage Group Inc. (OTCQB:ISBG) ("ISBG" or the "Company"), a top-tier brand incubator in the Global Wine & Spirits and CBD-Infused Products markets, is thrilled to announce its first purchase order for the Company’s new P19 CBD Gummies. The order exceeds $115K. In addition, the Company now anticipates revenues from its recently launched Health and Wellness segment to top $300K during Q1 2019 based on orders for CBD Gummies and other new product releases.
That would represent potential annualized y/y growth on the top line for this segment of 233% following full-year 2018 billed sales of $360K in comparable items and services.
Management anticipates strong top line growth across operational segments in 2019 due to the timing of its strong CBD products launch and its new Health and Wellness segment, coming just on the heels of the historic signing of the 2018 Farm Bill, as well as the Company’s overhaul of its Besado Tequila brand.
ISBG CEO Terry Williams stated, "The removal of hemp from federal prohibition under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 will, according to all analysis we have received, indeed mean a broad expansion in the scale and scope of the total U.S. hemp industry. And experts expect this to have a dramatic and disproportionately positive impact on growth in the hemp-derived CBD products market segment. We expect this to be a major performance driver for ISBG Health and Wellness in 2019."
The Company also anticipates sharply improved overall efficiency given the development of its Internet of Things ("IoT") supply chain management technology. The Company has begun to integrate IoT tagging for supply chain management, allowing for GPS tracking, geospatial coordination, temperature monitoring and additional features, including enabling features such as NFC and RFID chips to register information and eliminate unnecessary input and output record management tasks.
"With our expansion into the CBD products space, we now have enough logistical complexity to materially streamline costs through the implementation of our IoT supply chain technology," continued Mr. Williams. "Everything is suddenly coming together right now for this Company - the Farm Bill, strong early growth in our new Health and Wellness division, our Besado overhaul, our integration of IoT. It’s an extremely exciting time for ISBG!"
About ISBG:
International Spirits and Beverage Group (ISBG) is an authorized importer, licensor, and marketer of premium beverage brands, with sales of innovative products and brands worldwide. Based in Nevada, the Company's expertise lies in the strategic development and aggressive early growth of its brands and the establishment of these brands as viable and profitable as an incubator.

Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com "potcast", looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
Today we will be looking at announcements from Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX VENTURE: OGI) (OTCQX: OGRMF), Micron Waste Technologies Inc. (CSE: MWM) (OTC: MICWF), National Access Cannabis Corp. (TSXV: META), Pure Global Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V:PURE) (OTC:PRCNF) and Organto Foods Inc. (TSX-V: OGO)(OTC: OGOFF).
Organigram Holdings Inc., the parent company of Organigram Inc., a leading licensed producer of cannabis has partnered with Canada's Smartest Kitchen (CSK), a leader in food product development, to expand the Company's ongoing research and development related to edible cannabis products. Following the legalization of adult use recreational cannabis in Canada in 2018, cannabis edibles are expected to be legalized later in 2019 with the draft amendments to The Cannabis Act for edibles having been issued by the Federal Government for public consultation on December 20, 2018. Organigram's initial strategic product development work with CSK will focus on the chocolate confectionery market.
"Our collaboration with Canada's Smartest Kitchen is an example of, and a next step in, the outstanding strategic partnerships Organigram has developed to support the growth of its recreational product offering and business overall," says Ray Gracewood, Chief Commercial Officer, Organigram.
Since 2016, Organigram has leveraged its relationship with TGS International, LLC ("TGS") to better understand product trends within regulated U.S. markets, as well as gain a deep understanding of technology, process and product development through TGS's specialization in the extract market.
"As the recreational cannabis industry in Canada anticipates the pending legalization of cannabis edibles, we are excited to combine the technology and product trending understanding we now have through our relationship with TGS with the experience of Canada's Smartest Kitchen to develop a signature line of products that delivers the exceptional quality, flavours and forms that adult Canadians are looking for."
Micron Waste Technologies Inc., a leading developer of waste treatment systems for food and cannabis waste, announced the appointment of Alfred Wong to President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Wong succeeds CEO Rav Mlait.
"Alfred joined Micron as President in 2016 and has been instrumental in overseeing the development of the Company's research and development from design to prototype," said Kal Malhi, Chairman. "In his new role as President and CEO, he will oversee strategic growth initiatives with a focus on accelerating commercialization of our food and cannabis waste processing systems. He will also lead expansion into new product verticals for industries such as food processing, brewing and spirits, pulp and paper and biological pharmaceuticals."
Micron's food and Cannavore™ cannabis waste treatment systems are industrial-grade organic waste processers which pulverize and render organic waste in combination with a proprietary blend of microbes and enzymes designed and developed by Micron. Importantly, as part of Micron's full-system waste treatment platform, effluent from the systems is further treated to derive clean greywater which can be reused in industrial or agricultural operation. Alternatively, the regulatory-compliant greywater, which meets municipal discharge standards, can be safely discharged. Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in cannabis waste are denatured, preventing bio-accumulation in watersheds.
National Access Cannabis Corp. announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, NAC Prairies Ltd., has entered into a share purchase agreement in respect of an arm's length transaction with the shareholders of New Leaf Emporium Inc., whereby NAC Prairies will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of New Leaf Emporium. Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, the total purchase price payable for the New Leaf Emporium Shares is $1.6 million, comprised of a cash payment of $1.2 million from NAC Prairies and the issuance of 649,880 common shares of NAC, which have an aggregate dollar value of approximately $400,000. Additionally, NAC Prairies will reimburse New Leaf Emporium for certain expenses associated with the build out of the Moose Jaw premises on standard commercial terms. The Purchase Price and New Leaf Emporium Shares have been placed into escrow and will be released to the respective parties upon the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority providing NAC with approval to operate the New Leaf Emporium premises in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, following which NAC Prairies will own all of the issued and outstanding shares of New Leaf Emporium.
"We're growing our footprint into Saskatchewan," said Mark Goliger, CEO of NAC. "We've worked diligently to be the national leader in cannabis retail, having opened 21 stores to date in the complex regulatory markets of Alberta and Manitoba, and with our experience, Saskatchewan is an ideal expansion market for NAC. We have what's required: great relationships with Licensed Producers, existing e-commerce infrastructure, and retail operator know-how. Moose Jaw is the right market to start, with the New Leaf Emporium store operational today as one of only 2 stores serving a population of 35,000. We're ready to lead the way for customers in three provinces through a proven model of safety, education and customer service while delivering sustained returns and increased growth for our shareholders."
Pure Global Cannabis Inc. an integrated, growth-oriented life sciences and consumer products cannabis company, through its subsidiary PureSinse Inc., announced the launch of the Clinical Cannabinoid Education Network, CCEN.ca, a not-for-profit, to educate and inform physicians about the latest breakthroughs related to medical cannabis.
The Clinical Cannabinoid Education Network (CCEN) provides an educational platform for medical practitioners who want to learn more about the science of cannabis and its place in their clinical practice. By providing education and a forum for physicians by physicians, they can share new information and learn from one another in a supportive environment. This will allow more patients to obtain the latest and most effective treatments as determined by their doctors, including safe access to medical cannabis.
Run jointly as a partnership initiative between Spark Cannabis and PureSinse, the CCEN launch features an initial networking dinner on January 31, 2019 and a full summit on May 10, 2019.
Organto Foods Inc. today announced that the Organto Global Cannabis Group, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Medicannabis S.A.S., has been granted a license from Colombia's Ministry of Justice to cultivate non-psychoactive cannabis (CBD) at its cultivation and breeding facility in Guasca, Cundinamarca, Colombia. The license authorizes the cultivation of non-psychoactive cannabis in Colombia for medicinal use and further processing into cannabis products, including but not limited to, oils, tinctures, beverages, topicals and other products. It also allows for grain and seed production and for scientific purposes.
"We are thrilled to receive this license as was anticipated, and as a result we now have the ability to advance the breeding and seed production of high-CBD cannabis cultivars adapted for equatorial climates." commented Todd Dalotto, President of the Organto Global Cannabis Group. "The granting of this license is a key first step as we establish our low-cost, ecologically designed growing and processing facilities and build out our commercial operations using cultivars developed from our diverse seed library."
Organto acquired 100% of Medicannabis, a late stage applicant for licenses to enable it to cultivate and process medicinal cannabis in Colombia, in November 2018. The acquisition was part of Organto's strategy to build out a global cannabis group using cost-effective M&A strategies. The acquisition of a late stage applicant came with certain uncertainties and risks, many of which have now been mitigated with the grant of this license, supporting Organto's cost-effective approach to the transaction.

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:HSBC)

After the tumble the crypto market took late last week, total market capitalization has been wobbly coming out of the weekend. Data from CoinMarketCap indicates a $122 billion total market cap at press time, up a bit from Sunday's $117 billion low. Meanwhile the top 100 coins listed by market cap are a mix of red and green, with Bitcoin (BTC) trading for $3660, XRP for $0.33 and Ether (ETH) for $123.
Speaking at the Gaidar international scientific forum, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev advised against writing cryptocurrencies off despite the recent bear market trend, according to local outlet TASS. He did, however, advocate monitoring cryptocurrencies in light of the recent volatility.
"But this, of course, is not a reason to bury them. Here ... there are both light sides and dark sides, as in any social phenomenon, in any economic institute. And we should just watch closely what happens to them"
ICO-funded internet browser Brave is previewing a new digital advertising model that pays users for viewing ads. The ads are opt-in and users will be able to earn Basic Attention Tokens (BAT). Users can view up to 20 ads per day and will receive 70 percent of the ad revenue after the 1.0 release.
CCN reports that financial services giant HSBC (NYSE:HSBC) reported $250 billion in settled transactions in 2018, using blockchain technology. In the same year, HSBC settled over 3 million blockchain-based foreign exchange transactions. The report quotes Richard Bibbey, HSBC's Acting Head of Foreign Exchange and Commodities, on HSBC's potential future blockchain plans:
"Following prosperous implementation inside the bank, we are now exploring how this technology could help multinational clients - who also have multiple treasury centers and cross-border supply chains - better manage foreign exchange flows within their organizations."
Cointelegraph reports that crypto exchange giant Binance is launching a crypto trading platform on the Channel Island Jersey. Binance Jersey is designed for fiat-to-crypto trading of the euro (EUR) and British pound (GBP) with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) within Europe and the United Kingdom.
