Point Roberts, WA - November 8, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks releases a sector snapshot with a focus on the growing interest in cannabis infused beverages and water soluble cannabis solutions.
Cannabis may have been federally legalized for recreational use in Canada this fall but many cannabis companies are looking a year into the future at the next big step in the market; October 17th of 2019 when edibles, oils and infused beverage products can join the Canadian recreational market.
How big is the opportunity? A recent Business Insider news article reported, "The marijuana-infused beverages could become a $600 million market in the US in the next four years. Canaccord estimates CBD beverages will become a $260 million market by 2022, and THC-infused beverages a $340 million market."
Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR), (OTC: SRUTF) is looking to capitalize on this opportunity, announcing today that it has completed the development and formulation of an initial portfolio of functional beverages with its proprietary naturally water soluble cannabinoids ("Infuz2O").
From the news: "The beverages combine recently licensed rights for the proprietary water soluble mineral platform ("MiST Platform") with Infuz20. The initial portfolio consists of three separate cannabis / hemp infused beverages that provide the following functions: a) Focused Energy; b) Stress relief and Relaxation; and, c) Restful sleep support."
"The Company is currently in the midst of medicinal and adult-use brand development, including its functional beverage line. The initial beverages will be ready for consumers if and when Health Canada allows consumer beverage products to be legal for sale."
From the news: "The focus of the Company has been to develop beverages that will distinguish our functional beverages from cannabis/ hemp beverages developed by our competitors. Our competitive advantage is to leverage the suite of proprietary water soluble technologies we have acquired, and create a line of consumer products that taste great and have a functional purpose", said Keith Dolo, Chief Executive Officer. "Our beverages not only cater to the emerging cannabis market but also to the large, functional beverage market that exists today", he added.
Sproutly went on to say, "The functional beverage category is increasingly becoming the popular choice among consumers who are seeking low-calorie, nutrient-dense options as a healthy alternative to traditional beverages. The global functional beverage market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% to US$93.68 billion by 2019, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Cannabis in its own right has a long history of being used as a way for users to address wellness and lifestyle needs. Sproutly's functional beverage formulations address major and growing consumer health and wellness needs for the modern lifestyle."
Looking at competitors, big players are following the money in this sector. On October 1st another cannabis beverage announcement came from Molson Coors Canada, the Canadian business unit of Molson Coors Brewing Company, and HEXO Corp. (TSX: HEXO, OTC:HYYDF) regarding the closing of the transaction announced on August 1, 2018, to form a joint venture to pursue opportunities to develop non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused beverages for the Canadian market following legalization. The joint venture, Truss, will be led by former Molson Coors executive, Brett Vye, in the role of Chief Executive Officer.
Vye said, "When consumable cannabis is legalized in Canada, Truss will be ready to make its mark as a responsible leader in providing high-quality beverages for the Canadian consumer."
A Business Insider article last week reported that CEO of Molson Coors, Mark Hunter said "The cannabis market could total $7 billion to $10 billion in Canada alone, of which nonalcoholic cannabis-infused beverages could account for as much as $3 billion, or 30% of the total market."     
Sproutly Canada, Inc. has been setting up to enter the beverage space previous to today's news with the company announcing  in August that it had completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Infusion Biosciences Canada Inc. and SSM Partners Inc.
From the news: "We are extremely excited to finalize this Acquisition, enabling Sproutly to commercialize the APP Technology in major regulated markets around the world with innovative cannabis products that target the $50+ billion bottled water and functional beverage market with naturally water soluble molecules from cannabis and hemp", commented Keith Dolo, Chief Executive Officer of Sproutly."
What separates Sproutly and Infusion Biosciences from other cannabis beverage technologies? In a phrase; water oluble, as referenced in today's news by Keith Dolo, CEO.
This may put Sproutly in a league of their own with regards to their technology but other cannabis companies have been eyeing the beverage sector of the market. But as Dole noted, he is confident he can separate his company from the pack.
Not to be left out, The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD), (OTC: TGODF) also entered the space announcing, back in June of this year, the launch of a global division focused on the beverage industry.
From the news:  "The Green Organic Dutchman Beverage Division will utilize its experience to provide a strategic pathway into the cannabis market for large-scale beverage companies by way of direct investment, joint venture or other suitable opportunities."
Continued: "The focus will be to create industry-leading branded products, and to supply organic base ingredients for use in global beverage brands. Similarities between the cannabis sector, beverage, beverage alcohol and consumer packaged goods industries are apparent. "
As the cannabis market continues its growth curve and legalization allows for more cannabis alternatives, cannabis infused beverages will dramatically change and increase the size of the beverage market of the future.
Technology is key to who gets market share, making it an interesting race for investors to watch.

Co-Founder of Black Insurance Discusses Company Vision for Blockchain in Insurance, and Partnership with Fineqia (CSE: FNQ), (OTC: FNQQF) (Frankfurt: FNQA)

Investorideas.com featured blockchain and technology company - Fineqia International Inc. (CSE: FNQ)


POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC - November 8, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leader in Blockchain content with its Bitcoin and Blockchain portals Bitcoinandblockchainstocks.com, Cryptocurrencyinvestorideas.com and Blockchaininvestorideas.com release an exclusive Q&A interview with Risto Rossar, Co-Founder of Black Insurance.
Risto and InvestorIdeas discuss the big players testing blockchain in insurance and how their Board member, Bundeep Singh Rangar from Fineqia (CSE: FNQ) (OTC: FNQQF) (FNQA.F), is adding value, expertise and "blockchain based policy administration."
With over 60 plus sign-ups from insurance brokers globally, writing almost $400 million of premiums annually, this blockchain insurance company is one the industry will be watching.
A report from PWC says, "The potential for blockchain to deliver substantial value to financial services is enormous. For example, a recent report from Goldman Sachs estimates that in banking, consistent use of blockchain in KYC/AML checks alone could save $2.5bn of the estimated $10bn global processing costs in the sector."
CB Insights reporting on Blockchain and Insurance notes, "Despite the rise of online brokers, many consumers still call insurance brokers by phone to purchase new policies. Policies themselves are often processed on paper contracts, which means claims and payments are error-prone and often require human supervision. Compounding this is the inherent complexity of insurance, which involves consumers, brokers, insurers and reinsurers, as well as insurance's main product — risk."
"Each step in this collaborative process represents a potential point of failure in the overall system, where information can be lost, policies misinterpreted, and settlement times lengthened."
"Enter blockchain technology, a cryptographically secured form of shared record-keeping."
Interview
Q: Investorideas.com For our listeners that don't know your story, give us the background on Black Insurance and your experience in the fintech and insurance sectors.
A: Risto Rossar, Co-Founder, Black Insurance Back in 2000, I founded a company that we consider to be the world's first fully online insurance broker called, Iizi. It is now dominating the home market in the Baltics and has become a household name. For instance, you can get comparative motor insurance quotes from a panel of insurers, make the payment, and receive the policy in about 1 minute. As far as I know, this level of customer service and experience remains largely unprecedented in the world. 
From there on, I founded Insly, an insurance management software that is being used by more than 300 firms across 40 countries. One of the main purposes of this software is to address the inefficiencies and friction that selling and managing insurance is facing - it's a lot. We're doing a great job at fixing what is state-of-the-art in insurance today but I've come to understand that the insurance industry needs a more fundamental fix. 
As an example, an insurance policy is recorded in half a dozen or more separate information systems during its life cycle and then maintained by participants including: Brokers, wholesale brokers, insurers, reinsurers, and in some case regulators. All of these systems must be reported between and reconciled, information needs to be rekeyed, complex interfaces between the systems need to be built and so forth. It's hard to measure conclusively but our estimate is that as much as 20% of each insurance premium is burnt on this essentially worthless "busyness."
We also. routinely see opportunities in the insurance sector that don't see the light of day as there is so much friction between underwriting, product design and distribution. If you have a great idea for a new insurance scheme, it can take you years and millions [of dollars] to get it on the market - if you make it at all. You might have noticed that while the rest of the world is changing at a breathtakingly quick tempo, the insurance industry has remained pretty much as it has always been. Now you know why. 
Q: Investorideas.com There have been a lot of discussions on how blockchain can disrupt the insurance sector. Two main focuses are reinsurance through blockchain as well as fraud and prevention. Can you give us more insight into how these two aspects could benefit? 
A: Risto Rossar, Co -Founder, Black Insurance On the most basic level, blockchain can bring two types of benefits to insurance. The one most widely discussed has thus far been what we call "blockchain based policy administration". I described above how all participants in the insurance game are maintaining their own ledgers, constantly reporting back and forth. Blockchain is a shared ledger by its very definition. Writing the entire business on such ledgers while maintaining the data privacy, has the potential to create a "self-reporting" business. Certain transactions could also be automated by using smart contract technology. Think of having a travel insurance claim settled automatically when a public data source indicates a flight has been delayed. 
Second - and a somewhat less discussed aspect - is the tokenisation of insurance. Behind each insurance policy, there is a certain amount of mandatory reserve capital in place that sees returns when there is no claim and vice versa. This capital could be broken into tokens and sold to crypto investors. This would remove a lot of friction between the capital and the great insurance product ideas looking for funding. We believe it can really kickstart innovation and competition in insurance. 
Q: Investorideas.com Where do you see blockchain on a global scale being adapted the most for insurance? What has been your feedback from peers and larger corporations so far? 
A: Risto Rossar, Co -Founder, Black InsuranceAll large insurance and reinsurance companies are immensely excited over blockchain. As in other industries, they keep somewhat on the fringes of the disruptive and market development, leaving the riskiest undertakings to start-ups, ready to acquire and integrate only the proven models. They are probably thinking that start-ups are there for "manufacturing" the innovation, while big corporations come in to translate these innovations into reliable and efficient operations. That being said, since the insurance industry is somewhat on the stagnant side, it might happen that the start-ups take part in this race and bring the new models to a global scale themselves. This is left to be seen. 
Q: Investorideas.comFineqia International's CEO, Bundeep Singh Rangar, is on your board. Give us insight as to the relationship with Fineqia International and what it means to have him and his expertise on board?
A: Risto Rossar, Co -Founder, Black Insurance  Bundeep is a strong ally to have and one with a truly global reach, with a wealth of experience in the financial sector. He contributes a lot both on the vision and operational levels. Bundeep has spoken at many top tier blockchain and Insurance events as an industry expert including ther Insurance Times Insurance2025, "Unblocking the blockchain potential for insurance" panel.
For Fineqia, we are a strategic opportunity on several levels. First,Black is working on enabling crypto-based fractional ownership (so called "tokenisation") in the insurance industry that [works with Fineqia's original core business model of crowdfunding]. We intend for such tokens to be offered on the Fineqia platform and match them with interested investors.
In addition to that, Fineqia has invested in PremFina, which is a financier of insurance premiums. PremFina also recently won the 'Best Use of Technology for Customer Experience - B2B' at the Insurances Times Tech and Innovation Awards.  Its investment is alongside Rakuten, Draper Esprit, Thomvest Ventures, Talis Capital, Emery Capital and Rubicon VC, among other notable investors. Black Insurance, therefore, has potential synergies with other companies in Fineqia's portfolio.
Q: Investorideas.com Allianz, DocuSign and other big players are all testing out blockchain prototypes for insurance. How is Black Insurance ahead of the curve for investors, and possible vendors and clients?
A: Risto Rossar, Co -Founder, Black Insurance  Our vision is more about the business model than the technology. Writing insurance policies on blockchain makes sense but it is relatively straightforward and will become a commodity soon. You can think about it as a new, better type of database. 
We have a more comprehensive model that is set to create an entirely new way to produce insurance through tokenisation and the. clever alignment of stakeholder interests. This approach has already earned us sign-ups by more than 60 insurance brokers around the world, doing almost $400 million of premiums annually. There are hundreds of millions of big deals in the pipeline. They all see tremendous value in the ecosystem we are building and are set to launch next year.

Market Maintains Steady Growth, Midterms Elect Two Pro-Crypto Candidates, Survey Finds 1 in 4 Young Germans Would Invest in Crypto, Salesforce Wins Patent to Fight Spam with Blockchain and Bithumb Partners with “Asian Amazon”

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:CRM)

The crypto market continues to creep higher as total market capitalization has reached $219 billion USD at press time, up $3 billion USD from yesterday, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Most of the top 100 coins listed by market cap are in the green, with Bitcoin Cash (BCH) still showing impressive growth with 3.3 percent over yesterday and trading at $620 USD at press time.
Yesterday was the U.S. midterm elections and TrustNodes reports that two crypto-friendly candidates were elected. Democrat Gavin Newsom, who was backed by the Winklevoss twins, won 59 percent of the vote to become California's governor. And another Democrat, Jared Polis, took Colorado with 51.6 percent of the vote. A quote from Polis's campaign page says:
"My goal is to establish Colorado as a national hub for blockchain innovation in business and government. I believe strong leadership will put Colorado at the forefront of innovation in this sector – encouraging companies to flock to the state and establishing government applications that save taxpayers money and create value for Colorado residents."
German publication Verbraucherzentrale Hessen reports that 28 percent of Germans aged 18-29 would invest in cryptocurrency. Of that percentage, 26 percent cite speculation and the possibility of profit as a reason to invest, while only 17 percent see crypto as the "money of the future". Of the total respondents to the survey, 70 percent saw investment in crypto as being "rather risky" or "very risky".
Software company Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) has won a patent that outlines how blockchain technology can be used to reduce spam emails. The abstract from the patent reads:
"An email messaging system is provided that includes a first email message server, a second email message server and a distributed database system that stores a blockchain. The first email message server receives an email message from a first user system, and records a selected component of the received email message into a block of the blockchain. The selected component of the email message is added to the blockchain after validation by other participants in the blockchain. When the second email message server receives the email message from the first email message server, the second email message server can determine whether a component from the received email message matches the selected component that is stored in the block of the blockchain."
South Korean crypto exchange giant Bithumb has launched a payment service with Southeast Asian e-commerce company, Qoo10, nicknamed the "Asian Amazon". The partnership will enable customers to buy from Qoo10 and pay using Bithumb Cache, a password-generating service that allows users to convert crypto into fiat.

The report predicts that China will lead the charge, comprising 70 percent of the market by 2025. Business Wire quotes research director Aditya Kaul:
