Fidelity in “Final Testing” for Crypto Platform, CBOE Re-Submits Rule Change Request to List SolidX/Van Eck Bitcoin ETF, Crypto Liquidity Firm B2C2 Authorized by UK Financial Regulator for CFDs and SatoshiPay Partners with Digital Publisher Axel Springer SE

As we enter the weekend and a new month, the crypto total market cap is clocking in at $114 billion USD, according to CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin (BTC), which is trading for $3478 at press time, has hit its sixth consecutive month of losses, even after briefly rallying to the $4000 mark in early January. Directly behind it, in terms of market cap, are XRP and Ether (ETH), which are trading for $0.30 and $107, respectively.
In a blog post on Medium yesterday, Fidelity Digital Assets revealed that its cryptocurrency trading and storage platform is in a "final testing and process refinement" phase. The platform was initially announced in October of 2018 and Fidelity is "currently serving a select set of eligible clients" as they "continue to build" their "initial solutions". An excerpt from the post reads:
Our operations, risk, and compliance teams are actively working with auditors to refine our policies and procedures, adapt existing operational processes, and to set new benchmarks for this aspect of cryptographic and blockchain-based finance.
The CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange) has re-submitted a rule change to list and trade shares of SolidX Bitcoin Shares issued by the VanEck SolidX Bitcoin Trust. The news was tweeted by VanEck digital asset strategy lead Gabor Gurbacs yesterday. If successful, the rule change could allow the Cboe BZX Exchange to list shares of a bitcoin ETF trust, which many believe would be a game-changer in terms of bringing new money into the space.
A press release yesterday indicates that crypto liquidity provider B2C2's UK subsidiary, B2C2 OTC Ltd., has received authorization from the UK's Financial Conduct Authority to arrange and deal in Contracts for Difference (CFDs) with eligible counterparties and professional clients. B2C2 founder and CEO Max Boonen commented:
"We are excited to have received authorisation from the FCA to introduce a cryptocurrency CFD product. Eligible counterparties and professional clients can now gain derivative exposure to the cryptocurrency markets, benefiting from the competitive pricing and liquidity they're accustomed to receiving from B2C2 while avoiding the risks associated with crypto custody."
Elsewhere in the UK, London South East reports that blockchain startup SatoshiPay has partnered with Axel Springer SE, one of Europe's largest digital publishers. The partnership will enable users to pay for content with the blockchain-powered SatoshiPay Wallet, which will be used to send direct payments from the user's device to the publisher without any intermediary. Meinhard Benn, Founder and CEO of SatoshiPay commented:
"We are excited to have Axel Springer as a partner, and one that already recognises the immense potential of blockchain technology. As one of the few companies with a market-ready blockchain payment solution, we want to bring this technology into the mainstream. This has been SatoshiPay's vision since its foundation in 2014. We would also like to thank the Stellar Development Foundation, which is in full support of this partnership".

Investor Ideas Adds New Stocks in #Cannabis (OTC: $DRDV; CSE: $EXM.C) and Mining (TSXV: $FMC.V, $GIGA.V)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 1, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource announces this week’s additions to its global stock directories in cannabis and mining.
Investorideas.com is a go-to destination for retail investors and tracks companies in high-profile trading sectors and makes ongoing additions to its stock directories for its followers and members. (https://www.investorideas.com/membership/)
The newest companies in cannabis are global, with stocks trading on the Canadian, US and Israeli markets and include a medical cannabis operations company, a cannabis delivery service company and a former mining company now involved in cannabis/hemp cultivation for pharmaceutical, therapeutical and nutraceutical industries.
The latest mining companies are both listed on the TSX Venture (TSXV) and are involved in mining for energy metals (copper, uranium, cobalt, nickel).
This week's new Marijuana/Cannabis Stocks Added to the Investor cannabis stock directory:
Cannassure Therapeutics Ltd. (TASE: CSURE.TA) is a subsidiary of Solbar Food Technologies Ltd., a 57 year-old producer of plant based raw materials and solutions for the food and food additives industries. Cannassure holds all the approvals required for establishing a vertically integrated medical cannabis operation and is working in all these areas from breeding, cultivation, extraction, storage, packaging and distribution.
Driven Deliveries, Inc. (OTC: DRVD), previously Results Based Outsourcing Inc. is the only publicly traded cannabis delivery service operating within the United States. Founded by experienced technology and cannabis executives, the Company provides on-demand marijuana delivery, in select cities where allowed by law. Driven provides the legal cannabis consumers the ability to purchase and receive their marijuana in a fast and convenient manner. By 2020, legal cannabis revenue in the U.S. market is projected to hit $23 billion. In leveraging consumer trends, and offering a proprietary, turnkey delivery system to its customers, management believes it is uniquely positioned to best serve the needs of the emerging cannabis industry and capture notable market share within the sector.
EXMceuticals Inc. (CSE: EXM) Formerly Orofino Minerals Inc - is a cannabis company with a head office in Vancouver, British Columbia and operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. EXM's activities are focused on the sustainable cultivation of cannabis and hemp, and the production of pharmaceutical grade, psychotropic and non-psychotropic cannabis and hemp ingredients for the pharmaceutical, therapeutical and nutraceutical industries. EXM is in the process of obtaining additional licenses and establishing operations across multiple sites in Africa, including Ethiopia, Malawi, Zambia and Burundi. In addition, EXM is in the process of obtaining a license in Portugal for the establishment of a research laboratory, a nursery, and a center for processing and distribution. EXM proposes to export the extracted ingredients to international markets.


New Mining Companies
Forum Energy Metals Corp (TSXV: FMC.V) has the option to earn a 100% interest in the Janice Lake property from Transition Metals Corp by making further staged cash payments over the next three years. The Company explores for energy metals, including copper and uranium in Saskatchewan, Canada's Number One mining province, in addition to cobalt in Idaho and Oregon. Forum is well positioned for when the uranium market rebounds with interests in 7 drill ready projects in the Athabasca Basin, all assembled by a highly experienced team of exploration professionals with a track record of uranium mine discoveries in Canada.
Giga Metals Corp's. (TSXV: GIGA.V) Turnagain Project hosts the Horsetrail nickel-cobalt deposit, a significant undeveloped nickel-cobalt sulphide deposit, located in British Columbia, Canada. Engineering and metallurgical studies are underway with an objective of producing a Pre-Feasibility study. Extensive metallurgical work indicates a clean concentrate grading 18% nickel and 1% cobalt is reliably achievable using simple "off-the-shelf" processing technology. The Turnagain project covers a large, relatively underexplored land package prospective for additional ultramafic-hosted nickel-cobalt discoveries. Turnagain is one of the few projects in a stable jurisdiction that can potentially deliver large quantities of cobalt and nickel to meet the growing needs of the electric vehicle and energy storage markets at a time when many research analysts are projecting there will be shortages in the cobalt and nickel required by battery manufacturers.
The directories are not meant as recommendations but as a research tool to discover opportunities and trading ideas in a particular sector.

Investorideas.com - Advanced Technology for Rapid Extraction Will Be Key to Meeting Future #Lithium Demand; (TSXV: $SLL.V) (OTC: $STLHF) (NYSE: $ALB) (NYSE: $LTHM) (TSX: $NMX.TO) (OTC: $NMKEF)

Investorideas.com - Advanced Technology for Rapid Extraction Will Be Key to Meeting Future #Lithium Demand; (TSXV: $SLL.V) (OTC: $STLHF) (NYSE: $ALB) (NYSE: $LTHM) (TSX: $NMX.TO) (OTC: $NMKEF)



Advanced Technology for Rapid Extraction Will Be Key to Meeting Future #Lithium Demand; (TSXV: $SLL.V) (OTC: $STLHF) (NYSE: $ALB) (NYSE: $LTHM) (TSX: $NMX.TO) (OTC: $NMKEF)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 1, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering AI and lithium stocks issues a snapshot looking at lithium companies preparing to meet future demands in the market and how technology innovation may play a lead role.
The future of lithium shows a high demand, though there is uncertainty surrounding whether the market will be able to keep up with extraction demands.
Looking at how this all plays out, Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB) and Chile state development agency Corfo recently reached a deal to resolve a contract dispute centered around an amendment to the contract that requires Albemarle to provide as much as 25 percent of its annual production of lithium at a discount to companies seeking to produce battery metals within Chile.
Albemarle operates in Chile's Salar de Atacama, a salt flat in the country´s northern desert that supplies nearly 40 percent of the world´s lithium. Corfo, which leases mining rights in the Salar, had previously threatened to cancel its contract with Albemarle over the dispute, raising the spectre of potential supply disruptions amid booming demand.
The contract amendment that requires Albemarle to provide the ultralight battery metal at a reduced price is meant to spur a value-added lithium industry in Chile.
Albemarle produces most of its lithium from evaporation ponds. In November of 2018, the company's claim to developing a unique process to more than triple its lithium production from Chile's Atacama desert without using more water drew heavy scrutiny. Inside the US, Albemarle has already hinted at the potential of producing lithium to business owners operating near their Magnolia Arkansas operations, which is located nearby to Standard Lithium's potential commercial lithium project.
Conflicting reports regarding Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway's recent alleged interest in new US-based lithium extraction technologies has shone a spotlight on a rising need for innovation. Beyond Buffett's group, there has already been a push from the lithium sector to innovate. Despite lingering doubts about the feasibility of the Berkshire Hathaway project to produce lithium from California geothermal wells, other projects are priming for lithium production from US brines.
Understanding the need to innovate is Standard Lithium (TSX.V:SLL) (OTC:STLHF). Based in Southern Arkansas, with a planned joint venture involving a multi-billion-dollar global specialty chemical company, they are using innovative proprietary AI-powered rapid extraction technologies. This new high-tech approach may improve chances for success in this sector.
As international interests such as Germany and China jostle for position in other places like South America, securing North American lithium deposits is highly sought after domestically. The economic impact could be massive, as Chilean exports alone rose to $949 million in 2018.
Through its German partners, global chemical giant LANXESS and Standard Lithium have secured access to billions of gallons of lithium-rich brine; produced annually as a by-product of one of the world's largest bromine producers every year at their flagship project in Southern Arkansas.
Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSX.V:SLL) (OTC:STLHF) has the infrastructure and investment potential in place to move forward on a massive operating commercial brine-fueled lithium project in the USA. Should the next stages of the pilot and commercial feasibility testing be a success, LANXESS has announced a financial commitment to push the project into production.
Livent Corporation (NYSE:LTHM), focused on South America as well as Australia, calls itself "a world leader in lithium technology" The company also holds 50 product patents.
They also state, "Our control over the entire lithium operations chain-from pumping brine out of the ground to processing it into a range of performance products-enables us to lead the industry in lithium technology."
When discussing the lithium market in an interview, CEO Paul Graves said, "We think demand is going to grow almost five times larger in 2025 than it was in 2017. Our biggest challenge is producing enough to meet the demand - there's a much greater risk that this market is consistently in a deficit in the near future."
Other companies like Nemaska Lithium Inc. (TSX:NMX) (OTC:NMKEF), forecasted to be North America's next big lithium producer, is in the construction stage on its Whabouchi mine in the James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. According to the company's feasibility study, the capex on the project is set at approximately $875 million, of which Nemaska has already spent $272.4 million.
Nemaska Lithium has developed proprietary processes that use electrolysis to produce high-purity lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate for the lithium battery market. The technology virtually eliminates costly soda ash from the process.
The race to innovate in the lithium sector is on. According to Transparency Market Research, "Key players are focused on the innovation of new technologies in order to gain market share and serve a diverse range of end-user industries."

Transforming #Healthcare with #DigitalHealth Technology : Innovest Global (OTC: $IVST), eWellness Healthcare (OTCQB: $EWLL), ResMed Inc. (NYSE: $RMD) and Progressive Care (OTCQB: $RXMD)


New York, NY, Delta BC - February 1, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering technology and healthcare stocks releases a snapshot looking at how healthcare is changing in the digital age.
Investorideas recently reported on how Digital Health technologies enabling out-of-hospital care and monitoring are forecast to grow by 30 percent and cross the $25 billion mark.
In the article, Kamaljit Behera, Industry Analyst, Transformational Health said, "In this highly digitized environment, artificial intelligence (AI) will permeate the life sciences ecosystem, and its use in healthcare IT (HIT) is likely to cross $1.7 billion by the end of 2019. AI-powered IT tools that manage payers and providers business risks in clinical, operational, financial and regulatory settings will especially find high uptake. Blockchain in healthcare is slowly starting to migrate from pilot proof of concept (PoC) to early commercial implementations."
Innovest Global Inc. (OTC: IVST), a conglomerate with operations in commercial and industrial products and services, biotechnology, construction and building materials is one such company focused on the future of Digital Health. Innovest recently provided a recap of the company's solid performance, milestones and achievements in 2018 and their outlook for 2019.
The letter recaps the journey from a seven-employee company at the beginning of 2018 that generated $58,000 in revenue, to ending 2018 on a $40 million annual revenue run-rate with a conglomerate of operating businesses spanning various industries and 75 employees. Management expects at least 20% organic growth for 2019.
Daniel G. Martin, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Innovest commented, "We are the best-equipped company in biotech to help scientists and biotech companies achieve commercial success right now."
Martin continued, "Innovest Global's Biotech Division seeks to grow by targeting companies with innovative and transformative technologies in the Digital Health and Medical Device space. Nonetheless, we are also considering transformative technologies in stem cell biology and immunotherapy. Digital Health is one of the fastest growing markets in biotech. We seek to identify companies that have products in the market and are seeking accelerated and stable growth moving forward. More importantly, we want technology that will truly improve the quality of life for relatively healthy individuals and those that are struggling with debilitating conditions, including stroke, heart disease, brain injury and other disorders."
Companies like eWellness Healthcare Corporation (OTCQB:EWLL), a provider of the state of the art PHZIO platform for the physical therapy ("PT") and telehealth markets, recently announced the launch of a new body health assessment branded under the name "WellFit" that will operate on the company's PHZIO digital treatment platform.
The WellFit Exam is an online screening test designed to provide the participant with a comprehensive body health assessment. The results of the test will help guide the participant to areas which may need more focused efforts to allow them to engage in a more healthy and pain-free lifestyle. These online examinations will be performed in real-time by a licensed doctor of physical therapy. Physical therapists are uniquely qualified to assess and prescribe exercise-based interventions based around movement deficiency and dysfunction.
Digital Health companies like ResMed (NYSE:RMD) (ASX:RMD), a leader in cloud-connected medical devices and out-of-hospital software-as-a-service (SaaS) business solutions, have been making acquisitions, such as their recent announcement regarding its acquisition of Propeller Health, a digital therapeutics company providing connected health solutions for people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
Progressive Care Inc. (OTCQB: RXMD), a personalized healthcare services and technology company, is a good indicator of the Digital Health market as the company reported a further growth year-over-year in revenue and number of prescriptions filled for December 2018.
In December, the company reported a total of $1.7 million in net revenue, a 6% increase from the same month last year, and a 45% increase in prescriptions filled during the same month last year, totaling nearly 28,332 prescriptions filled. This marks the strongest finish to the year in company history.
Companies like Innovest are fast becoming the rule, not the exception, as more companies begin to invest in the Digital Health market - the future of healthcare.

The #Cannabis Race for the US Market: Players -Harvest Health and Recreation (CSE: $HARV.C) (OTCQX: $HTHHF), Canopy Growth (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC), Cronos (NASDAQ: $CRON) (TSX: $CRON.TO) and Tilray (NASDAQ: $TLRY)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 1, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at cannabis companies entering, and potentially take the lead in the US market.
With the passing of the US Farm Bill, as well as more and more states legalizing medical and recreational cannabis, both Canadian and US companies are looking to establish themselves across multiple geographic regions in the United States.
One of the largest Canadian cannabis producers, Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED.TO) (NYSE: CGC), wasted little time entering the US marketplace. Earlier this month, the company was granted a licence by the State of New York to process and produce hemp.
Canopy Growth intends to invest between $100 million USD and $150 million USD in its New York operations, which will be capable of producing tons of hemp extract on an annual basis.
Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. (CSE: HARV) (OTCQX: HTHHF), a vertically integrated public cannabis company has been pushing hard to have one of the largest footprints in the US, having amassed 60 licenses across the United States. Harvest applied for (and won) licenses in 12 states and has a track record of winning in every category, including vertical, retail cultivation, and processing licenses. The company also recently announced that is has qualified for, and is trading on, the OTCQX Best Market.
"Since day one of going public, one of our goals has been to move onto the OTCQX. Harvest is one of the fastest growing companies in one of the fastest growing industries in the world, and OTCQX will allow us to continue harnessing that momentum," said Harvest Chairman, Jason Vedadi. "Working up the investor ladder as a cannabis company is a monumental task, and we are excited to continue making strides towards becoming the biggest cannabis brand in the world."
Other large players like Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON.TO) are looking to gain US market advantage. Cronos recently announced that it has entered into a subscription agreement with Altria Group, Inc. in which Altria has agreed to make an approximately C$2.4 billion equity investment in Cronos Group on a private placement basis in exchange for common shares in the capital of the Company.
"Altria is the ideal partner for Cronos Group, providing the resources and expertise we need to meaningfully accelerate our strategic growth," said Cronos Group's Mike Gorenstein, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The proceeds from Altria's investment will enable us to more quickly expand our global infrastructure and distribution footprint, while also increasing investments in R&D and brands that resonate with our consumers. Importantly, Altria shares our vision of driving long-term value through innovation, and we look forward to continuing to differentiate in this area. As one of the largest holding companies in the adult consumer products sector, Altria has decades of experience in regulatory, government affairs, compliance, product development and brand management that we expect to leverage, particularly as new markets for cannabis open around the world."
Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), a global pioneer in cannabis production and distribution, made a similar announcement in that they have signed a long-term revenue-sharing agreement to market and distribute a portfolio of consumer cannabis products with Authentic Brands Group, an owner of a portfolio of global lifestyle and entertainment brands, in jurisdictions where regulations permit.
With a global retail footprint of over 100,000 points of sale and more than 4,500 branded freestanding stores and shop-in-shops, ABG's portfolio generates approximately US$9 billion in retail sales annually.
"We are thrilled to partner with ABG, a global leader known for expertly managing and marketing an owned portfolio of iconic brands," said Brendan Kennedy, Tilray President and CEO. "As we work to expand Tilray's global presence, this agreement leverages our complementary strengths and will be accretive to our shareholders as we reach new consumers across the entertainment, fashion, beauty, home, and health and wellness sectors. We look forward to working with ABG to bring unique and sought-after branded cannabis products to the marketplace."
Companies like Harvest Health (CSE: HARV) (OTCQX: HTHHF) may have the upper hand with regards to the US market, as a vertically integrated MSO, not to mention a fully funded company with the means to expand and keep up with State by State legalization, even against companies like Canopy Growth and Aurora. Their business model is well suited to succeed, with or without federal legalization in the United States.
