NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov 17, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – As cryptocurrencies continue to dominate the news, more and more people are interested in hearing the 'real deal' from veteran insiders. However, many don't know where to start, especially when experts are using unfamiliar terms like "altcoin," "Web3," and other jargon.


Experienced investors in the crypto market want to level the playing field and pave the way for new investors. Such is the case for Mike Kimelman and Charlie Shrem, co-authors of the new book Mastering the Basics of Bitcoin and Crypto: Go from Crypto Curious to Crypto Confident With Just One Book.

AJG Publishes Data from HighTide Therapeutics’ Phase 2 Study of HTD1801 Treatment in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

ROCKVILLE, MD and SHENZHEN, CHINA, Nov 17, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – HighTide Therapeutics, Inc. ("HighTide"), a globally integrated clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel multifunctional therapies for metabolic and digestive diseases, today announced the publication of the results of their Phase 2 study of HTD1801 in adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.

This study met the primary endpoint and multiple key secondary endpoints, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of HTD1801 in treating PSC. Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a key biomarker of PSC disease severity. Data show that compared to placebo, both low and high doses of HTD1801 treatment could significantly reduce serum ALP levels. In addition, HTD1801 significantly reduced alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), further supporting the beneficial effects of HTD1801 in treating PSC. HTD1801 was shown to be safe and well tolerated at the doses studied in PSC patients. No severe adverse event related to HTD1801 treatment occurred.

Professor Kris Kowdley, M.D., Director, Liver Institute Northwest and lead investigator, said, "There is a significant unmet medical need in treatment for PSC. The improvements in ALP we observed in this study, along with the excellent safety profile of HTD1801, are promising. In addition, the results of this study lay the foundation for future studies that will potentially prove the significant role of HTD1801 in the treatment of PSC."

Dr. Liping Liu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of HighTide Therapeutics, said, "We are pleased to share the news of this publication. The results of this study encourage us to further study HTD1801's effects in treating PSC. We believe the long-term treatment of HTD1801 will lead to more clinical benefits for patients with PSC, who suffer with a disease with no effective therapy until today."

About Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic, progressive liver disease characterized by progressive inflammation and fibrosis of the intra-and/or extra-hepatic bile ducts, resulting in multifocal bile duct strictures. Most patients eventually have liver failure and cirrhosis, and their risk of malignancy significantly increases. PSC is strongly associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The accumulating evidence from various studies continues to strengthen the hypothesis that the gut microbiota plays a central role in the pathogenesis and progression of PSC. Until today, there is no approved therapy for PSC. As the fifth leading indication for liver transplantation in the U.S., PSC is a disease with significant unmet medical needs.

About HighTide Therapeutics

HighTide is a globally integrated clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on the discovery and development of novel multifunctional therapies for metabolic and digestive diseases with significant unmet medical needs. The company's lead drug candidate, HTD1801, is a first-in-class new molecular entity, currently in clinical development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). HTD1801 has received Fast Track designation from the U.S. FDA for both NASH and PSC, as well as Orphan Drug designation for PSC. In China, HTD1801 has been included in the National Major New Drug Innovation Program. For more information, please visit www.hightidetx.com.

Samaiden Posts 71.82% Revenue Increase in 1Q FY2023

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, Nov 16, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Samaiden Group Berhad, a renewable energy (RE) specialist principally involved in engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and power plants today announced that for the first quarter ended 30 September 2022 (1Q FY2023), revenue grew 71.82% to RM40.77 million compared with RM23.73 million registered in 1Q FY2022.
Group Managing Director of Samaiden, Ir. Chow Pui Hee


For the quarter under review, Samaiden recorded 19.90% increase in profit before tax to RM3.28 million compared with RM2.74 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. For 1Q FY2023, profit after tax registered growth of 18.02% to RM2.44 million compared with RM2.07 million in 1Q FY2022.

EPCC services contributed to approximately 99.63% of Samaiden's revenue in 1Q FY2023. Its other businesses are environmental consultancy and operation and maintenance.

Group Managing Director of Samaiden, Ir. Chow Pui Hee said, "The financial performance in the quarter under review is largely attributable to an increase in the number of projects as well as the higher value of the contract sums. We view positively the launch of the National Energy Policy 2022-2040 in September 2022 as it outlines the future and key priorities for the energy sector in the coming years. The policy will position the energy sector as a catalyst for socioeconomic development."

"We are also encouraged by the new opening of a 600MW quota application by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources' under the Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP) initiative. The CGPP uses the virtual power purchase agreement to enable the sale of renewable energy to corporate clients on mutually agreed pricing and contract duration. And the large-scale solar farm developers and/or generators can participate in the electricity market operated by Single Buyer through the New Enhanced Dispatch Arrangement (NEDA) mechanism and trading of the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) and/or any green attributes."

"The increasing adoption of solar PV systems and power plants by businesses keen to accelerate their efforts in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives will also provide us opportunities to offer our EPCC services for the installation of solar PV systems as well as solar and non-solar power plants. We will continue to leverage on our core competency and experience in providing end-to-end services for potential solar PV and other non-solar projects."

Since the start of FY2023, Samaiden has secured new EPCC contracts with a combined value of approximately RM8.10 million. The new contract wins bring the current outstanding orderbook to RM325.40 million as of 30 September 2022 and is expected to contribute positively to revenue and profit over the next three years.

Moonstake Receives ssv.network Grant to Integrate Decentralized ETH Staking

SINGAPORE, Nov 16, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Today, Moonstake is pleased to announce we have secured a staking pool integration grant from the DAO-governed SSV Network to integrate ETH staking on the Moonstake Wallet. Moonstake will be integrating SSV's unique architecture to bolster Ethereum decentralization and ensure Moonstake's validator infrastructure is as robust as possible. This will enable a seamless decentralized ETH staking experience for global users, and Moonstake and SSV will also work together to promote our ecosystems through this collaboration.


The ssv.network Grants Program is a community-led initiative to fund development teams building decentralized staking applications and services with the intent of promoting and accelerating development and innovation by developers building on top of the network. Proposals to the grant are evaluated on the technical design of the project, the overall quality of the team and its community, and more. Moonstake is thrilled to join the SSV Network Grants Program as a verified top 10 staking provider worldwide and soon support ETH staking.

As of 15 September 2022, Ethereum has officially become a Proof of Stake blockchain and the demand for ETH staking is higher than ever. Currently, ETH holders must have 32 ETH and build their own validator infrastructure in order to stake, which requires a high level of technical expertise and maintain a costly infrastructure. Alternatively, non-tech users could stake their ETH by relying on a custodian staking-provider service or centralized exchange. Moonstake and SSV aim to address this issue by providing users with a non-custodial ETH staking solution via Moonstake Wallet using SSV's innovative technological infrastructure. We are proud to uphold our commitment of providing the best staking experience for users worldwide, as well as to finally take the next big step in our promised support plan for the Ethereum Merge and PoS ETH.

Mitsuru Tezuka, Founder at Moonstake, says: "Moonstake is happy to have received this grant from the SSV Network and partner up for ETH staking integration. The demand for ETH staking is higher than ever, yet users can only rely on custodial solutions at the moment which takes away from the decentralized experience of crypto and could potentially lead to many security risks. As a verified top 10 staking provider worldwide, we hope to be able to bring even more value to crypto users worldwide by providing a seamless ETH staking experience using SSV's robust technology. We look forward to growing the Moonstake, SSV, and Ethereum staking ecosystems together, as well as promoting the staking industry as a whole through this great partnership."

Moonstake started the staking business in 2020 with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, we have developed the most user-friendly Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS / Android) with support for over 2000 cryptocurrencies. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake's total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach $1 Billion, allowing Moonstake to become one of the top 10 staking providers globally. Currently, Moonstake supports 17 leading PoS assets including Cosmos, IRISnet, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, Polkadot, Quras, Centrality, Orbs (Ethereum and Polygon), IOST, TRON, Shiden, FIO, Everscale, and Oasis. Proof of Stake ETH will be the 18th staking coin supported by Moonstake once technical integration is completed.

SSV is a fully decentralized open Ethereum staking infrastructure. It provides an open architecture for anyone who wants to run an Ethereum validator; from individual users to staking pools and large institutional staking services. The SSV Network aims to address the main concerns faced with Ethereum staking which include: custody and management of private keys, liveliness and redundancy, single point of failure, security and encryption, as well as decentralization and network governance.

About Moonstake

Moonstake is the world's leading staking service provider that develops and operates decentralized wallet services for businesses and individuals.

Since its launch in April 2020, Moonstake has partnered with 27 leading platform providers, including Cardano's constituent Emurgo, developer of the Polkadot-connected blockchain Astar Network Stake Technologies, and the TRON Network with over 50 million users. In May 2021, Moonstake further enhanced its corporate credibility by becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of OIO Holdings Limited, a company listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange.

Using blockchain technology, Moonstake aims to progress toward a world where anyone can easily make use of highly secure and reliable digital asset management tools. https://www.moonstake.io/

About Moonstake's staking business

For the staking industry, which has grown into a 630-billion dollar market as of September 2021, Moonstake provides a decentralized staking service that does not require user deposits, and supports nodes around the world in addition to its own validator nodes. Moonstake currently supports the staking of 17 blockchains. With a total staking assets of 1.8 billion USD and a global user base, the company ranked third out of more than 10,000 providers worldwide in June of the same year.

About SSV Network

Secret Shared Validators (SSV) is the first secure and robust way to split an Ethereum validator key between non-trusting nodes. The nodes do not need to trust each other to carry out their validator duties, and a certain number can be offline without affecting validator performance. The result is a reliable, decentralized, secure infrastructure for Ethereum staking.

SSV Network is the decentralized staking infrastructure running the SSV protocol that enables the distributed operation of an Ethereum validator. It is also a reusable and scalable ETH staking infrastructure developers can use to build new staking apps and deploy them quickly and easily. https://ssv.network/

PGE to increase GPP capacity in South Sumatra for NZE

JAKARTA, Nov 16, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE) expressed readiness to increase the geothermal power plant (GPP) capacity in South Sumatra in a bid to support the realization of net zero emission (NZE) in Indonesia.
President Director of Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE) Ahmad Yuniarto signs an agreement for "Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) for the construction of the Fluid Collection and Reinjection System (FCRS) and Geothermal Power Plant at Lumut Balai Unit 2 in South Sumatra" with Mitsubishi, and Sepco/WIKA at the Business 20 (B20) Investment Forum held in Bali on November 11, 2022. (ANTARA/HO-PT Pertamina)


This step to increase the GPP capacity is taken through the inking of an agreement for Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) for the construction of the Fluid Collection and Reinjection System (FCRS) and Geothermal Power Plant at the Lumut Balai Unit 2 in South Sumatra.

The agreement signing was conducted by PGE with Mitsubishi Corporation Consortium, PT Wijaya Karya, and SEPCO III Electric Power Construction Co. Ltd on the sidelines of the B20 Indonesia Net Zero Summit 2022 event held in Bali on Friday (November 11).

The project for the construction of FCRS and geothermal power plant in South Sumatra is funded by Japanese Official Development Assistance (ODA) Loans under the Government to Government (G-to-G) Loan scheme with the Government of Indonesia.

The project site is located in the districts of Muara Enim and Ogan Komering Ulu in South Sumatra Province.

The contractual scope of the project will be a turn-key basis on which PGE partners will carry out the design, manufacturing, civil works construction, commissioning, performance testing and warranty for the facility that consists of a Geothermal Power Unit and an FCRS, with a net capacity at high-voltage terminals of 55 Megawatts (MW).

The geothermal facility is designed to be operational for more than three decades and will be operated and maintained by PGE.

The electricity generated from the clean, renewable and environmentally friendly energy facility will be channeled through the installations of the state-owned electricity company PLN, so that it has the potential to increase the number of new residents receiving electricity to reach around 55 thousand households in South Sumatra.

Moreover, the working area at the Lumut Balai GPP Unit has proven to have good-quality environmental management with the achievement of Pertamina Environment Regulation Compliance Assurance (PERCA) and the Blue category for Company Performance Rating Program in Environmental Management (PROPER) from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

In accordance with the theme of the 2022 Indonesia Net Zero Summit "Industrial Decarbonization at All Cost," the effort to increase GPP capacity is one of Pertamina's concrete measures in supporting sustainable development proclaimed by the Indonesian government.

The effort was also aimed at mitigating the impacts of global warming by reducing carbon emissions in the environment.

Greenhouse gas reductions from the GPP Project at Lumut Balai Unit 1 and 2 are included in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) as an implementation of the Kyoto Protocol. It has also been registered with the UNFCCC, with the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions of around 581,518 tons of CO2 equivalent per year.

GPP capacity of 55 MW, which will be generated from Unit 2 of the GPP in the province, will increase PGE's total installed GPP capacity, after earlier some 55 MW generated from the Lumut Balai Unit 1 Project that became operational in 2019.

The new unit will further strengthen PGE's position as one of the largest players in Indonesia's geothermal development, with a total installed capacity of 727 MW.

PGE's President Director Ahmad Yuniarto explained that in carrying out its business, PGE remains committed to the development of geothermal energy and ensures that the implementation of the Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects is an integrated part of the company's geothermal energy business line.

The implementation of the ESG aspects is the company's effort to provide added value and to support the national programs related to the use of environmentally-friendly new and renewable energy, especially geothermal energy, he remarked.

PGE's commitment in developing geothermal energy can contribute to achieving several targets in sustainable development goals (SDGs): Goal No.7 on clean and affordable energy, Goal No.12 on responsible construction and production, Goal No.13 on handling climate change, and Goal No.15 on land ecosystems.

PGE currently manages 13 Geothermal Working Areas, with an installed capacity of +1.8 Gigawatts (GW).

A total of 672 MW of geothermal capacity is operated and managed directly by PGE, and some 1,205 MW is managed under the Joint Operation Contract scenario.

Geothermal energy capacity from power plants in PGE's working areas contributes 82 percent of the total geothermal energy capacity produced in Indonesia and has the potential to contribute to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions of around 9.7 million tons of CO2 per year.
