#Blockchain and #AI in the Market; iQSTEL (OTC: $IQST) Brings 5 Blockchain Nodes Online, Begins Extensive 'Live' 24/7 Simulation of Mobile Number Portability Application Ahead of Beta Launch; @IQstel

NEW YORK, NY– 4/23/2020--(Investorideas.com Newswire, Blockchaininvestorideas.com)- Blockchain Stock News - iQSTEL Inc. (OTC: IQST) is pleased to announce the next phase in the Mobile Number Portability App (MNPA) development is underway.


itsBchain has completed the installation of the MNPA software on 5 blockchain nodes. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, developed by itsBchain, is currently running human behavior simulations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ahead of the Beta release to various Tier-1 (Vodafone, Telefonica, Millicom, etc) and other telco clients.

As noted previously, changing carriers and maintaining the same number is still processed via an archaic ‘days to weeks’ 2-party verification system. itsBchain’s MNPA system will allow for near instant number portability by the client, no longer requiring the telcos to initiate the transfer. According to Statista, the global smartphone user base surpassed the 3 billion mark in Feb of this year with over 500 mobile network operators according to Telecoms Networks.

“itsBchain programmers have seen fantastic results from the ongoing testing feedback. This is a ‘full on’ stress test of the complete system using internally developed AI ‘human behavior’ code.” commented Mr. Iglesias, iQSTEL´s CEO. “Due to Latin America’s accelerated mobile market growth rate, itsBchain is using the Colombian Mobile Telecommunications market as the initial AI systems market simulation.”

SinglePoint (OTCQB: $SING) Enters into S-1 Registration Agreement to Raise up to $7,000,000, Fueling Corporate Growth and increasing Financial Flexibility and Liquidity

SinglePoint (OTCQB: $SING) Enters into S-1 Registration Agreement to Raise up to $7,000,000, Fueling Corporate Growth and increasing Financial Flexibility and Liquidity

Phoenix, Arizona - April 23, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) announces the completion of an S-1 registration agreement to raise up to $7,000,000 with certain limitations on the amount of each sale, once the registration has been deemed effective. The Equity Agreement is on a look-back basis and there are no make-up provisions, a true non-toxic equity investment.


"This has been a long time in the making and filing an S-1 with a leading financial firm represents achieving another significant milestone for SinglePoint. Filling the Form-10, becoming a fully reporting issuer, and uplisting to the OTCQB were all integral and essential steps that enabled us to access capital with a partner like GHS Investments at an attractive rate through this S-1 registration and equity agreement. This is a major step for SinglePoint and our shareholders as we now have access to lower cost financing which ultimately lessens dilution to the market. We see this financing as a potential catalyst for SinglePoint to bolster and accelerate expansion into new markets. Our recent acquisition, Direct Solar America, and our proprietary consumer product 1606 Hemp are both gaining traction and revenue growth and access to capital will only enhance the market opportunities for both", states Greg Lambrecht CEO and Chairman, SinglePoint Inc.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds for product development, repayment of debt, including less favorable convertible notes, sales and marketing, working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. The Company is committed to having the ability to access capital in order to maintain and grow its existing core business units. As well as position itself to take advantage of incremental and accretive opportunities to increase revenue, footprint and market share while improving the balance sheet.

SinglePoint became fully reporting in 2018 and most recently filed an annual report for the year ending in December 31, 2019 recording $3,343,833 representing a record in revenue and record gross profit of $990,777, the next strategic initiative was to select a financing partner that would enable the company to efficiently access capital markets. This capital will provide SinglePoint the ability to act opportunistically and support growth objectives. After considering various financial partners that met certain criteria, the Company selected GHS Investments, a leading private investment and management group providing financial solutions for high potential small cap enterprises. GHS has multiple successful portfolio companies and we look forward to SinglePoint being a part of that successful track record.

"We are committed to taking decisive actions that improve the position of the Company for our employees, customers and shareholders. This is a proactive and strategic step to strengthen our financial flexibility," said Greg Lambrecht, CEO, SinglePoint Inc. "These measures will provide SinglePoint with additional liquidity and flexibility near term and long term as we emerge from this unprecedented time."

About SinglePoint, Inc.
Founded in 2011 SinglePoint, Inc (OTCQB: SING) invests in and acquires brands and companies that will benefit from injection of growth capital and the sales and marketing expertise of SinglePoint. The company portfolio currently includes solar, hemp and technology applications. SinglePoint is working to grow the company to a multinational brand.

#CryptoCorner Episode 392: tZero (NasdaqGS: $OSTK) Raises $50 Million in Equity Funding, Dutch Central Bank Makes Case for CBDC



#CryptoCorner Episode 392: tZero (NasdaqGS: $OSTK) Raises $50 Million in Equity Funding, Dutch Central Bank Makes Case for CBDC



Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC April 22, 2020 - Investorideas.com, a leader in crypto and blockchain investing news brings you today’s edition of the Crypto Corner podcast and commentary on what’s driving the cryptocurrency market.

Listen to today’s Crypto Corner Podcast:  



Bitcoin Uptick Coinciding with Senate Stimulus News, tZero Raises $50 Million in Equity Funding, Dutch Central Bank Makes Case for CBDC and Banks in Argentina Pilot Blockchain

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:OSTK)

Bitcoin (BTC) has made a modest comeback in the past day, having climbed from around $6,800-$6,900 – where it had dwelt since late Monday – to a present trading price of about $7,050 according to data from CoinMarketCap. This humble uptick coincides with news that the U.S. Senate passed a stimulus package worth $484 billion yesterday, which principally aims to help small businesses impacted by Coronavirus-related shutdowns and regulations. This adds to the $2.2 trillion economic stimulus package the government passed last month, which similarly resulted in a modest crypto rally.

tZero, the blockchain arm of online retailer Overstock (NasdaqGS:OSTK), announced that it had raised $5 million in an equity investment from Hong Kong-based private equity firm GoldenSand Capital. tZERO CEO Saum Noursalehi commented:

"GoldenSand Capital understands the value of tZERO and its mission to introduce greater efficiency and transparency to capital markets by leveraging blockchain and smart contract technology. We are excited to continue working with GoldenSand Capital to achieve this mission."

The Dutch Central Bank (DCB) published a 45-page report on central bank digital currency (CBDC) yesterday, arguing the merits of a digital Euro and the role of the Netherlands as a testing ground for the attendant system. The DNB wrote in a separate article:

If the decision should be taken within the Eurosystem to experiment with some more concrete type of CBDC, we are ready to play a leading role. The Netherlands provides a suitable testing ground for such an experiment.

Cointelegraph reports that a consortium of banks and tech companies in Argentina under the patronage of the country’s central bank are promoting a pilot program to implement the RSK blockchain from IOV Labs. According to the report, the system “will handle direct debit transactions for customers, where the payment is initiated by the receiver of the funds and not the sender,” and enable the consortium “to trace the claims between different participants like banks, clearinghouses and financial agents.”
