Maps.me to Launch Financial Services of the Future to Millions of Users

ZUG, SWITZERLAND, Mar 24, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Maps.me today announced that it will add next-generation financial capabilities to its navigational services, aiming to enrich the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world by providing them with an easier way to pay, transfer, earn passive income and invest. From generating attractive investment returns in a low-interest world to making instantaneous payments across 35 currencies, Maps.me 2.0 will integrate convenient financial services with the world's most popular off- line mapping platform.

"We're excited to be building a holistic travel and financial platform that will be a trusted companion to our highly-engaged community of users as they explore the world and go about their daily lives," said Alex Grebnev, Co-founder of Maps.me. "Maps.me has enhanced people's ability to navigate, wherever they are going. Now, the same platform will offer financial services that are cheap, secure and highly relevant to the needs of Maps.me users."

From maps to money

Maps.me is used to discover and navigate places – from the streets of Barcelona to the African savannah – and bookmark them for future use. The app's open-source technology provides greater agility and choice for users, fueling an ever-increasing network that has enriched Maps.me itself. Over the last nine years, the app has been downloaded 140 million times, with 60 million people using it to navigate 195 countries in 2020.

Pilots, magazine photographers, professional cyclists, aid workers and everyday travellers love using its turn-by-turn routing, travel guides, and detailed mapping – which are all available without using often- costly mobile data. Maps.me is particularly popular with millennials in Europe: roughly 60% of users from are from the region, and more than 70% are between the ages of 18 and 40.

A recent survey conducted by Maps.me indicated that roughly half of its users are interested in accessing financial services via the app. More than 140,000 users have already joined the waiting list for a digital wallet that will allow them to:

– Earn yields of as much as 8% on stored value;
– Make payments via a linked credit card; and
– Transfer money instantly to friends and family globally and in 35 different currencies

The value in Maps.me wallets is invested in AAA-rated assets and held in a Swiss trust structure that is administered by TMF Services, a regulated entity in Switzerland. TMF is the largest corporate service provider in the world, trusted by over 60% of Fortune Global 500 and FTSE 100 companies. Users enjoy this security as well as the convenience of accessing these services via a platform they know and love – all for zero or low fees.*

A new approach to finance

The financial services offered via Maps.me will draw on a new approach to financial services: decentralized finance. DeFi is a user-driven financial system that uses smart contracts to allow people and institutions to transact directly with each other, rather than via a large financial institution.

Unnecessary middlemen are eliminated, cutting costs, increasing speed and certainty.

Since its inception, Maps.me has been open and community-driven, with users contributing to its development using the OpenStreetMap Project. Maps.me users are a substantial part of the OSM contributor group. Maps.me 2.0 builds upon that same spirit and DeFi makes this possible by allowing many to connect with many.

The roll-out of these financial capabilities with Maps.me 2.0 follows the platform's acquisition last November by Daegu Limited, a member of the Parity.com Group.

The integration of financial services with the Maps.me platform is moving ahead quickly. Closed beta testing of the Maps.me wallet will be finalized in the next few weeks. Waitlisted users will start to be offered access to the wallet after the testing process is completed, followed by a broader launch in due course.

More about Maps.me

Maps.me is the world's leading off-line mapping application for travelers. Launched in 2012 it has been downloaded more than 140 million times. More than 60 million users worldwide were active in 2020 planning and navigating their excursions in 195 countries. Maps.me users can download maps for their intended travels and then access their maps without the need for expensive roaming connectivity. An open-source advocate, Maps.me users are a primary contributor to the OpenStreetMapping Project globally. Beginning in 2021, the app will integrate payment, currency exchange and passive income services in 35 currencies to further enable explorers worldwide.

Taoping Inc. Shares Price Rose Significantly for 4 Times After Entering the Market of Blockchain and Digital Asset

HONG KONG, Mar 23, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Taoping Inc. (NASDAQ: TAOP), a leading provider of internet-based smart display screens, and a new-media ecosystem enabling targeted advertising and online retail in Greater Bay Area, shares rose 10.76% to US$13.69 last Friday. Many have noticed the great potential on its new business division. The company is currently dedicating to the research and application of blockchain, which officially entered the market of digital asset and blockchain.

Grasp Great Opportunities in Blockchain Technology

With the raise of digital currency, more and more companies and institutions are adopting blockchain as a future-proof technology. The price of Bitcoin has recently crossed the record high of $54,000. The historic feat was achieved after a leading electric carmaker announced that it bought $1.5 billion in Bitcoin and would accept the currency as the mode of payment. That steep rise in the value of the virtual currency has made it a hot topic all over the world and brought great opportunities in investment. In light of this trend, Taoping Inc. has planned for this move for more than 3 years.

Taoping Inc.'s predecessor, China Information Technology Co., Ltd., was established in 2004 and successfully landed on Nasdaq in the United States in 2008. From 2017 to 2018, Taoping Smart Cloud, Taoping.com, and Taoping Merchant APP went online one after another, and were renamed "Taoping Co., Ltd.". In 2019, Taoping GO went online to achieve efficient integration of offline life scenes and online mobile scenes.

At the same time as the development of its new media platform, Taoping Inc. also initiated in-depth research on the application of blockchain technology. In the past three years, the company has continuously upgraded Taoping Inc's intelligent cloud platform. Taoping Inc.'s terminals are now covering 211 cities in 26 provinces across the country. With the development of financial technology, the global demand for digital assets has increased. The gradual maturity of advanced solutions and the improvement of regulatory clarity have brought considerable market opportunities. Taoping Inc. took advantage of the trend to seize the blockchain industry and digital assets, especially a good time for opportunities in the currency.

Shares Were Up After Strategic Transformation

Taoping Inc. has adopted several strategic moves to strengthen its position and development in blockchain market. The shares were up more than 10 % each after its strategic moves such as bringing in strategic investors and appointing new talents.

With the explosion of the blockchain in the fourth quarter of 2020, the price of Bitcoin has risen all the way after hitting a new high. In March 2021, it has risen it new high to more than $60,000, constantly refreshing historical heights. Meanwhile, Taoping Inc.'s stock price has continued to rise after announcing the expansion of its blockchain business. As of March 19, Taoping Inc.'s stock price has risen to US$14.06, with the highest rise to US$16.8 during the period. Since the launch of the stock price in February, which increased exceeded 4 times.

On 22 March 2021, Taoping Inc. has also entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with BitFuFu.com ("BitFuFu"). This move helps Taoping Inc. focus on blockchain based cloud computing field to carry out all-round and multi-level cooperation on a global scale. Taoping Inc. will purchase blockchain cloud computing service with a total value of $10 million from BitFuFu within three years. The first batch of $1 million service subscription agreement was signed simultaneously with the strategic cooperation agreement. The first batch service period is from March 18, 2021 to March 13, 2022.

Antminer, a cryptocurrency mining machine brand by Bitmain Technologies Ltd. ("Bitmain") with the world's largest market share, is a strategic partner of Bitfufu, and holds patents in mainland China. Bitmain is a company headquartered in Beijing, China that designs application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chips for bitcoin mining. By purchasing the blockchain cloud computing service, Taoping Inc. will be able to start Bitcoin mining through Antminer, which is expected to bring direct revenues for the Company. Choosing this high-quality brand of mining machine will not only ensure continuous revenues for Taoping Inc., but also ensure a safer and more scalable platform to achieve healthy business operations and rapid growth.

Looking ahead, Taoping Inc. will continue to take the advantages of Bit Fufu and can generate profits directly through Antminer with a low cost. Better still, the industry is optimistic about prospect and investment value of Bitcoin. Taoping Inc. will seize the opportunity to bring profitable reward to the company as well as the stock market.

Not only was he named #1 Pop/Rock Drummer and #1 Studio Drummer for five consecutive years by Modern Drummer, but his passion for growth and improvement has also led him to become a successful inspirational speaker.

With all of his experience in the music industry just imagine the stories he could tell.

As DuckDAO's token sale launchpad, the DuckStarter platform is involved with a large variety of IDOs. With Blockpass and DuckDao working together, KYC and AML provision will be quickly and easily accessible to all participants, ensuring security and regulatory compliance in the space.





DuckDAO is a community-backed incubator powered by an expansive network of investors in the digital asset ecosystem. DuckStarter is a token sale launchpad where users can access both public and special rounds for high-quality crypto projects. DuckStarter will act as the final bridge between early-stage projects and the community before the project goes fully public. DuckStarter has a unique level system which requires users to lock-in a certain amount of DUCK tokens to participate in the launch platform. DuckStarter has already helped launch a number of projects and has many more lined up, including PolkaFoundry, keyTango, Lepricon, and Cash Tech.

Blockpass is a digital identity verification provider which provides a one-click compliance gateway to financial services and other regulated industries. Through Blockpass, users can create, store, and manage a data-secure digital identity that can be used for an entire ecosystem of services, token purchases and access to regulated industries. For businesses and merchants, Blockpass is a comprehensive KYC & AML SaaS that requires no integration and no setup cost. You can set up a service in minutes, test the service for free and start verifying and on-boarding users.

"We're excited to be working with DuckDAO and the DuckStarter platform to bring KYC services to a huge number of people as we see a surge of interest in IDOs with this current wave of DeFi development," said Adam Vaziri, Blockpass CEO. "Our goal at Blockpass is to remove the pain points of compliance and with the range and quality of users on DuckDAO's DuckStarter platform we have the privilege to bring our revolutionary and efficient solution to a new and expanding audience."

"As one of the premiere KYC solutions providers in the crypto space, Blockpass has helped to smooth access to the burgeoning, but sometimes inaccessible crypto industry," said DuckDAO Co-founder Ken. "Blockpass has done an incredible job at ensuring our IDOs are secured by a real, quality user base."

Blockpass has grown significantly in size and use since its inception, both in the number and range of users and organizations it has partnered with, and the scope of its work. Blockpass continues to develop its digital identity protocol with updates and additions to improve the compliance experience. The existential need for DeFi projects to be regulatory compliant and the recent integrations have led to a surge in interest for Blockpass' On-chain KYC(TM) solution which promises to change the way blockchains enable compliance.

With a current 90%+ discount on its services, a fact made possible due to the unique reusable nature of its verification method, and put in place to help as many people as possible access KYC in the current pandemic, there has never been a better time to explore the potential of Blockpass. The Blockpass App is available from the App Store and Google Play.
