Nasdaq CEO Writes "Crypto Currencies Could Still Be a Global Currency of the Future", London Stock Exchange Tech Selected for Crypto Exchange, Netherlands Publishes Regulatory Proposals and Huobi "Likely" to Launch Stablecoin in 2019

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:NDAQ)

As we come out of the long weekend the crypto market is still hovering around a total market cap of $120 billion USD, according to data from CoinMarketCap, after dropping from $124 billion on Sunday night. Flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) is trading for around $3600, followed by XRP and Ether (ETH), which are trading for $0.32 and $119, respectively.
In a post on LinkedIn, Nasdaq (NasdaqGS:NDAQ) President and CEO Adena Friedman wrote that "Crypto Currencies Could Still Be a Global Currency of the Future". The post, which was written ahead of Friedman's appearance at the World Economic Forum at Davos this week, outlined two possibilities for the future of crypto:
1) Either the innovation finds practical utility followed by years of steady and sustainable commercial progress and integration into the economic fabric (e.g., the Internet); or

2) The invention fails to achieve broad adoption and its commercial applications as medium of exchange are limited (e.g., the Segway).
The London Stock Exchange Group's (LSEG) technology provider, LSEG technology, has announced in a press release today that its Millenium Exchange technology has been selected by fintech company ATOM Group for its new digital asset exchange venue AAX. LSEG Technology CIO Ann Neidenbach commented:
"We are delighted to have been selected by ATOM to provide a best-in-class technology solution to help power its new exchange. It underlines Millennium Exchange's reputation for performance, scalability, flexibility and reliability and we look forward to working with the AAX team ahead of the launch in H1 2019."
A report published by the Netherland's central bank, De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), and the Netherlands Authority for Financial Markets (AFM), outlines recommendations for a regulatory framework of the crypto space. The report argues that, given the cross-borders nature of cryptocurrency, an internationally-coordinated regulatory framework is ideal. The two recommendations outlined in the report are:
  1. Introduce a licensing regime for fiat-crypto exchange platforms and crypto wallet providers, to ensure effective implementation of the revised European anti-money laundering directive.
  1. Amend the European regulatory framework to enable blockchain-based development of SME [small and medium-sized enterprises] funding, and reconcile the national and the European regulatory definitions of security.
Cointelegraph reports that crypto exchange giant Huobi could debut its own stablecoin this year. The article quotes Huobi CFO Chris Lee after a presentation in Singapore today, where he said:
"This year will be huge for stablecoins and we will be a part of that. Likely Huobi Group will launch its own stablecoin in 2019 in the first half of the year."

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - January 22, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the influx of CBD product purchase orders announced in 2019 as the demand for CBD products grows.
CBD continues to be the largest "buzz-word" in the cannabis sector and companies are wasting no time stocking their shelves with a diverse CBD product line-up as 2019 begins.
New Age Beverages Corp. (NASDAQ:NBEV), an organic and natural beverage company is betting on branding and name recognition to help take on the U.S. CBD-infused drinks market. In their recent press release, they announced that they have signed an agreement to develop and distribute Bob Marley cannabis beverages.
From the news: "The first product to rollout in the Marley+CBD portfolio will be Marley+CBD Mellow Mood, relaxation drinks in 15.5 oz cans with 25 mg of pharmaceutical grade CBD per serving. Initial market rollout to customers will be in Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and Michigan where cannabis is legal for responsible adult consumption."
Continued: "Retailers and distributors realize that it will be a long road for smaller CBD brands to gain traction and brand equity. Under the Marley brand platform, we are able to leverage a massive global brand with ties to healthy cannabis use, to ultimately grow a beverage brand beyond anything we have seen to date," said Michael Cunningham, Senior Vice President of sales for New Age.
Smaller, but just as ambitious, International Spirits and Beverage Group Inc. (OTC: ISBG), a brand incubator in the Global Wine & Spirits and CBD-Infused products markets recently announced 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 of 233% following full-year 2018 billed sales of $360K in comparable items and services.
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."
"With our expansion into the CBD products space, we now have enough logistical complexity to materially streamline costs through the implementation of our new 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 our hybrid supply chain management system."
Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE: KBEV) (OTC: KBEVF) another cannabis company in the CBD and beverage space announced its first purchase order with GNC Holdings, Inc. (GNC), a leading global health and wellness brand with thousands of retail stores across the U.S. and Canada.
It is the largest single order for product that Koios has received in its corporate history, and is for Koios's four most popular flavors, which will initially be available for purchase in approximately 2,700 GNC retail stores in the U.S. before the end of Q1, 2019.
Another company, Green Growth Brands (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF) announced their recent agreement with DSW Inc. to sell hemp-derived CBD personal care products under the Seventh Sense Botanical Therapy brand at select DSW stores throughout the U.S.
The Agreement was received for 54,960 units and covers sales in 96 U.S.-based DSW stores.
The Agreement follows a successful test phase conducted last autumn in which Green Growth Brands sold select Seventh Sense products in 10 DSW stores in which 74.4% of product presented on shelves was sold during the first 10 weeks of the test period.
2019 looks to be a big year for CBD products, with headlines in USA Today reporting, "Cannabis food, drinks to be 2019's hottest dining trend, top chefs say."  If all goes according to analyst predictions, this could be a year of " Don’t Worry, Be Happy" for the sector.

Retail Cannabis Investors Paved the Way for Institutional Investors to Jump in - How CIBC, Piper Jaffray and Peter Thiel are Playing a Role in Cannabis Stocks - (OTC: $HIPH) (NYSE: $CGC) (NYSE: $APHA) (NASDAQ: $CRON) (NASDAQ: $TLRY)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - January 22, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the growing trend of institutional coverage and funding in the cannabis sector and how a once frowned upon industry is now the big-boys new 'darling'.
In any industry that builds success, history shows the little companies lead innovation and take the risk and once the value proposition is proven, the big companies step in to grab their share. The same can hold true for investing; small retail investors see the big picture before the institutional investors - and never has this pattern been more true than with the cannabis sector.
Retail investors can pat themselves on the back following Friday's news that CIBC's Institutional Equity Research team initiated coverage on Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED.TO) ( NYSE: CGC) , Cronos (TSX: CRON.TO)(NASDAQ: CRON) and Aphria (TSX: AHPA.TO) (NYSE: APHA).
In their report, 'Cannabis: The Beginning of a Global Seismic Shift', they stated:
Our Conclusion: "Investors rarely get to witness the birth of an industry. Such historic events include the gold rush, inventions of the automobile and aircraft, and the internet. In most instances, investors rush to pour capital into the sector, and while the industries develop, very few companies live up to their lofty expectations. We expect cannabis to follow this course. Dozens of small/medium-sized firms will likely earn moderate revenues and earnings, but our view is that only a handful will come to dominate the global market. We believe Canopy and Cronos are likely to be two of those winners; meanwhile, we view Aphria as a manufacturing and automation expert, but believe concerns about capital allocation and corporate governance could deter investors. Effective January 17, we initiate coverage of Canopy Growth with an Outperformer rating and $65 price target; Cronos Group, with an Outperformer rating and $22 price target; and Aphria, with a Neutral rating and $10 price target."
Retail investors usually see a bump in the share price once the bigger institutional investors step in and that was definitely the case following the January 15th news from CBD beverage company, American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH) that it had entered into a financing agreement with an institutional investor at a $0.40 valuation, ten times the current market valuation. As part of the agreement, a substantial portion of the Company's convertible debt will be retired. The retirement will be reflected in the Company's 1st quarter 2019 financials.
American Premium CEO, Ryan Fishoff, commented, "I am thrilled to announce that the Company has entered into this agreement at a 10x valuation! This is an affirmation of the Company's business plan and the initiatives it has implemented over the past year. It's a vote of confidence to the direction of the Company and we will continue to work hard to execute on the business plan to achieve the goals and benchmarks that I laid out for 2019. There is still a tremendous amount of work to do, but we (the Company) are certainly emboldened by this financing agreement, which will give the Company the capital to implement its 2019 plan. This agreement also meets the Company's goal to reduce convertible debt and strengthen the balance sheet. This is a win for the Company and our shareholders."
Piper Jaffray analyst Michael Lavery also joined the pro-cannabis ranks in early January, initiating coverage of Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY) and Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED.TO) ( NYSE: CGC) saying, "We do believe the long-term growth opportunities are significant - both from transitioning illicit trade to legal sales, medical sales, and from transitioning sales in health & wellness categories to CBD-infused products." Canopy Growth rose 13 percent following the news.
TLRY ( NASDAQ: TLRY) also gained over 19.% mid-January following news that its largest shareholder, Privateer Holdings, led by venture capitalist Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, would not sell their shares until the first half of 2019.
So it's clear the impact institutional investors have in the market, but their entry into the cannabis market is still just limited to a handful of players. Retail investors can bet there are more to come.

Taking a Bite out of the #CBD #Pet Industry - SinglePoint (OTCQB: $SING), Charlotte's Web (CSE: $CWEB.C), Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: $CGC) and CannTrust Holdings (TSX: $TRST.TO)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - January 22, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases part one of a two- part series looking at the future of the CBD Pet Market and the companies looking to take a bite out of the growing global pet industry.
The US pet industry expenditures are estimated at 72.13 billion for 2018 according to the American Pet Products Association and the global pet care market is expected to reach USD 202.6 billion by 2025. Combine that with New Frontier Data reporting, "Pet-and-animal product sales are estimated to reach $125 million by 2022, representing a 5-year CAGR of 57%, among the fastest-growing sectors in the CBD market" and it's easy to see why cannabis companies are pouncing on the opportunity.
Seeing the way of the future, in August 2018 Canopy Animal Health, a division of Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX:WEED.TO) (NYSE:CGC) that focuses on healthcare products for companion animals, received approval from the Veterinary Drug Directorate to research the possible therapeutic effects of cannabidiol on anxiety.
Canopy Animal Health notes on its website, "While the existence of cannabinoids has been known for centuries, the concept of using naturally occurring cannabinoids as therapeutics for companion animals is a new forefront of medical discovery."
Now a growing number of CBD manufacturers are beginning to take notice and develop their own lines of pet products, especially after the reclassification of CBD in the US.
SingleSeed.com, a subsidiary of SinglePoint (OTCQB: SING), a company with a history in the cannabis market recently launched PHYTO-BITES on SingleSeed.com. The company's subsidiary SingleSeed.com has added a new vertical, serving pet owners with a brand-new offering that is formulated to reduce stress, pain, separation anxiety and inflammation. PHYTO-BITES is manufactured and supplied by CBD Unlimited, formerly Endexx. The two companies are working collaboratively to distribute this product online and in stores all over the nation.
GrandView Research, looking at the global pet care market notes that based on type, dogs held the largest market share. SinglePoint (OTCQB: SING) strategically plans to make PHYTO-BITES one of its premier offerings because of the size of the market and the market penetration potential.
Looking at entering the pet market as part of the company's overall growth strategy in the cannabis sector, Greg Lambrecht, CEO of SinglePoint said, "We are very excited to add this to our list of products. The pet market is a tremendous opportunity and we plan to attend and use all our contacts to promote this product at every opportunity we are presented with."
Also going after the dog market, Charlotte's Web Holdings, Inc., (CSE:CWEB) (OTC: CWBHF)   describes their pet product line saying, "Our high quality hemp extract with easily digestible and healthy MCT oil helps dogs to maintain a sense of calm plus support for their active hips and joints. Contains 16.5mg of CBD per mL."
Charlotte's Web full product line includes CBD Oil tinctures, CBD capsules, CBD topicals, as well as CBD pet products, which will require a large quantity of consistent hemp product available as these markets take off.
From dogs to wolves…In April 2018, CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TSX:TRST.TO), one of Canada's leading licensed producers of medical cannabis, announced that it entered into a letter of intent with Grey Wolf Animal Health Inc. to develop groundbreaking cannabis products to support the well-being of pets.
Grey Wolf Animal Health Inc. announced that it has acquired Veterinary Healthcare Solutions Inc. to accelerate the growth of Grey Wolf's business and complements its existing portfolio of specialty animal health products for the veterinary channel. The transaction is immediately accretive to both revenue and EBITDA and provides Grey Wolf with a portfolio of commercial products and a national sales force platform to support its pipeline of current and future products. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
As CBD products for pets become more available and pet owners become more accepting of the benefits, investors can expect this to become a more competitive landscape. This may lead to a parallel path of the CBD beverage industry with big-name brands partnering and seeking acquisitions.
Continued in Part 2; Investorideas.com will explore some of the other companies looking to get their teeth into this sector and what's driving this market.

Investorideas.com - WISE: How to choose the right #ICO startup, @network_wise

Investorideas.com - WISE: How to choose the right #ICO startup, @network_wise



WISE: How to choose the right #ICO startup, @network_wise


January 21, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) If you're in this business or plan to invest on it, there are plenty ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) out trying to get the best out of you. Every single one of them promises huge returns over investment as well as perks for being a part of their initiative. But beware, since most of this start ups fail or end up being scams. You have to be able to distinguish which of these fit with want you want from the bitcoin industry, and look as solid and secure as you want them to be.
The issue is to know how.
Rest assured of course that all cryptocurrencies and the very Etherium platform, is basically an experimental mechanism. A vast majority of ICOs are reliant on Ethereum, meaning that every ICO is a venture, an experimental business. It then becomes an experiment on top of an experiment.
Start obtaining as much information about the project and its goals as possible. Those will describe the team and its relevant experience, the idea and the roadmap of its execution, approximate goals and means of reaching them, and so forth. Every ICO startup will provide you of a white paper and a website. Those two should give you an idea of the businesses direction, goals, expertise, meanings of reaching them, roadmaps and team.
Since it's an "Offering" you won't be seeing a finished product right away. Think of it as a "Kickstarter" project, you need to raise enough funds so your project can reach the goal of actual production.
It will sound to you like "Here is your chance to make a lot of money, invest in us so the idea comes to fruition". You will meticulously analyze the risks of funding this startup and guess correctly, then the investment might come back to you doubled, tripled or even more. Decide to take the chance or not.
Integral to ICOs are the coins or tokens themselves. Aside from functioning as the form of security (similar to stocks in traditional investments or initial public offerings), these coins often have other functions with the platform or ecosystem.
Find everything you can about the development team, check all community and media, check stage of the project and VC-investors, read the ANN thread on BitcoinTalk, read the white paper several times, analyze it and learn from Venture Capital investors.
For example:
WISE Network is a new ICO, an innovative developer of analog mixed-signal, system-on-a-chip who created an ecosystem that enables a universe of applications on IoT and mobile devices using distributed ledger technology while backed by integrated-circuit-product-development. You can tap into their ecosystem by acquiring these ERC 20 tokens.
WISE sounds really ambitious and solid for a start up, Deloitte is evaluating them and Rainier AG has already welcomed it under its wings. Read their white paper at www.wise.cr and learn more about it.
The point is that this is a young ICO with a good rating and credentials so far. Does it suit your needs? Is this the kind of assets and added value/perks you look for in an ICO?. Go and solve this one yourself. Call it a test or the greatest opportunity in the market right now. But go and apply this advise.
Remember the Golden Rule when you decide on WISE, don't invest more than you can afford to lose. Good luck choosing it.
