DeFi Powerhouse Fantom’s Native Token FTM Gets Listed on BitFinex and Gemini

NEW YORK, NY, Jun 19, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Two major cryptocurrency trading platforms have listed Fantom within the last 24 hours, as the blockchain platform and its native token FTM continues to grow its footprint across the globe.



1. Bitfinex, one of the world's oldest exchanges, has announced the listing today.
2. US-based digital currency exchange Gemini announced the listing of FTM yesterday, allowing US citizens to buy and trade on their regulated trading platform.

Fantom has been showing remarkable growth in the first quarter of 2021. It enables users to make blockchain transactions without the hassle of high fees, complicated interfaces, slow transaction speeds and weak security.

Bitfinex

Users can withdraw and deposit FTM on Opera Mainnet on Bitfinex leveraging the speed and low transaction costs of Fantom. Founded in 2012, Bitfinex was one of the first professional platforms set up to accommodate the booming interest in cryptocurrency trading. Since then, the team has gained invaluable experience whilst cementing their spot as the go-to platform for digital asset traders and institutions.

Bitfinex is widely used in the Asia Pacific region, especially in China and by getting listed on the platform increases Fantom's presence in the region.

GEMINI

Gemini, formally known as Gemini Trust Company LLC, is considered one of the most trusted, reliable and regulated digital currency exchange platforms. Its creators Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss created this platform, enabling people from the US to trade safely and secure various cryptocurrencies using USD. Gemini has made a name for itself as being both regulated and highly reputable. Fantom's addition to Gemini is mutually beneficial as Fantom is closer to being one of the best DeFi (decentralized finance) platforms in the industry.

Being a US-based exchange, Fantom's listing on the platform now opens up the opportunity for investment by US-based crypto enthusiasts and large-scale investors alike, both of which now have much easier accessibility to the token.

The US is a financial powerhouse when it comes to cryptocurrency, with a recent survey showing more than 6 percent of Americans have financial interests in crypto. That puts the US behind only China when it comes to cryptocurrency investment, which needless to say, opens up a world of opportunity for Fantom.

Fantom's Exponential Growth

Fantom's exponential growth is attributed to many factors, including its multiple government partnerships. In addition to being user-friendly, Fantom is also a developer-friendly blockchain that has attracted developers through its decentralized system, enabling blockchain projects with efficiency and ease. Fantom's minimal fees make this platform desirable, not to mention its compatibility with Ethereum.

Bitcoin Latinum Now Pre-Listed on CoinMarketCap

PALO ALTO, CA, Jun 17, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Bitcoin Latinum, the next-generation insured Bitcoin fork capable of massive transaction volume, digital asset management, cyber security, and capacity is announcing CoinMarketCap has pre-listed the new cryptocurrency ahead of its official public launch on exchanges across the globe in Q3 2021. Bitcoin Latinum's profile on CoinMarketCap (currently identified as "untracked" until the public listing) can be viewed at: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-latinum/



Founded in 2013, CoinMarketCap has become the world's premier price-tracking and market capitalization authority website for cryptocurrencies. It is the most referenced and trusted source for comparing thousands of digital assets in the rapidly growing cryptocurrency space by users, institutions, and media. CoinMarketCap has between 2.5 and 5 million unique daily visitors on its platform.

Bitcoin Latinum is an enhanced Bitcoin fork. The Bitcoin Latinum algorithm and infrastructure break barriers and speed limits that have prevented some virtual currencies from achieving practical, real-time use. Bitcoin Latinum – to trade under LTNM – will be mining-free, with a supply of 888,888,888 pre-mined tokens.

Bitcoin Latinum sold out its initial pre-sale with over nine figures committed from buyers across the globe in November 2020. In Q2 2021 Bitcoin Latinum announced a groundbreaking green initiative in support of the Crypto Climate Accord. This will be achieved through an energy efficient consensus protocol system for settling transactions.

The Bitcoin Latinum tokens are a part of a blockchain ecosystem being adopted by companies in media, gaming, storage, cloud, and telecommunications. Bitcoin Latinum tokens will be interchangeably used on each of these partner/supplier networks by consumers. In addition, Bitcoin Latinum adds security around inflight transactions and enhanced consensus node protection based on memory scanning technology.

The industry remains bullish on Bitcoin pricing and market adoption. Gartner stated that blockchain technology will create more than $176 billion dollars worth of business value by 2025 and $3.1 trillion by 2030. Early Bitcoin adopters, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, have vowed to keep their coin holdings until the price of Bitcoin hits $500,000. In a recent interview, they stated, "With a market capitalization of $10 trillion, we believe that one Bitcoin will be worth $500,000. And we think that could happen within this decade. Definitely in the next five years. We are holders up to at least $500,000."

Monsoon Blockchain Corporation, Asia's premier blockchain company, was selected by Bitcoin Latinum as its foundation partner. Monsoon is focused on innovative cloud solutions in the blockchain ecosystem, leveraging the latest blockchain technology to develop powerful business solutions that allow the successful digitization of and listing of assets across a variety of industries, including financial services, telecommunications, and media and entertainment. Dr. Donald Basile, Monsoon's CEO and founder, is the former CEO of Fusion IO, a company known for playing a major role in implementing the cloud systems at Apple and Facebook as well as partnerships with HP, IBM, and Dell.

Recently, Monsoon Blockchain Corporation added advisory board members Ken Goldman, President of Hillspire (Eric Schmidt's family office), and former CFO of Yahoo and Fortinet, and Winston Ma to their team. Mr. Ma was the former Managing Director and Head of the North America Office for China Investment Corporation (CIC), China's $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund.

Singapore’s Commodities Intelligence Centre Signs Investment Agreement to Establish Its Overseas Digital Trade Platform in Chongqing’s Guoyuan Port

SINGAPORE, Jun 17, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Singapore-based Commodities Intelligence Centre (CIC) has signed an investment agreement with Chongqing Liangjiang New District Management Committee. The agreement will see an investment commitment of RMB 10 million (S$2.07 million) by CIC to establish its overseas digital trade platform in China's Guoyuan Port in Chongqing Municipality. The agreement was formally inked by Mr Luo Lin, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of Chongqing Liangjiang New Area and Mr Peter Yu, Chief Executive Officer of CIC, at the "Chongqing Liangjiang New Area Key Technology Innovation Projects Virtual Signing Ceremony". CIC's parent company, ZALL Smart Commerce Group (2098.HK), also announced its plans to invest in Guoyuan Port for their projects in West China.



The project is expected to contribute towards the China-Singapore (Chongqing) Connectivity Initiative, and will be able to tap on CIC platform capabilities in Singapore to enable data interconnection and interoperability and grow a vibrant commodity trading ecosystem in Guoyuan Port. The move comes as CIC is stepping up efforts to expand its global supply chain network and provide companies with increased access to market opportunities in China and Southeast Asia, helping them uncover new business opportunities, reduce transaction costs and achieve greater trading synergies globally amid the pandemic.

Mr Peter Yu, Chief Executive Officer of CIC, shared, "The need to strengthen the digital connectivity of the world's supply chain ecosystem is more important than ever today. CIC is proud to have inked this strategic agreement to establish our overseas digital trade platform in Chongqing, an important region that connects the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the Belt and Road route. This investment affirms our continued commitment to expand our technology-enabled global B2B trading ecosystem that would enable businesses to reap the benefits of the global digital trade economy on the back of the world's largest trade pact, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and China's dual circulation strategy, with greater digital trade connectivity between China and ASEAN."

Leveraging the strategic connectivity advantages of the China-Singapore (Chongqing) Multimodal Transportation Demonstration Base, the new International Land-Sea Trade Corridor (ILSTC) and other international trade channels of the Chongqing Guoyuan Port National Logistics Hub, CIC's digital trade platform would provide global trading services, such as transaction matching, customs declaration and clearance, supply chain logistics, trade finance, and global trade compliance to facilitate the development of an international commodities trading cluster in Guoyuan Port. The platform could also help accelerate the opening up of China's inland economy and drive global commodity trading and investments into Chongqing, thereby bringing about deeper economic integration with China's Belt and Road Initiative and the country's western provinces and regions.

Located in the core part of Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area, Guoyuan Port is a logistics hub integrating "water, rail, and road transport" of China's inland rivers, and is the only port-type national logistics hub in west China. CIC's project signing comes amid deeper Sino-Singapore cooperation under the China-Singapore (Chongqing) Connectivity Initiative, and increased investments by Singapore enterprises into Chongqing in sectors such as aviation, financial services, logistics and information and communication technology.

DIBA – Proper NFT (Taproot-ready) at the Bitcoin Conference

MIAMI, FL, Jun 14, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – DIBA is a platform working on the first ecosystem to collect proper unique digital assets (UDA), popularly known as non-fungible tokens (NFT) on the Bitcoin blockchain and layer 2 scaling solutions.


Gideon presenting DIBA at the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami on June 3 (Whale Day).


Out of hundreds of submissions, DIBA was selected to present their project as one of the Top 10 Finalists at the 2021 Bitcoin Conference in Miami on Whale Day. The judges for the pitch included Tim Draper, Paul Veradittakit (Pantera Capital), Oleg Mikhalsky (Fulgur Ventures) and David Roebuck.

Organized by Bitcoin Magazine, the conference is the biggest crypto event on earth, welcoming 12,000 attendees and attracting more than 20,000 global crypto believers to Miami.

The founder and chief executive of DIBA explained the company's mission is to help millions of people understand, own and use non-custodial digital assets built on top of the Bitcoin network. Assets in the virtual world are worth over $125B and yet, centralized in a few hands.

As a space-faring civilization, the onus is on us to build a decentralized and censorship-resistant ownership structure in the digital world. "Mars has to be an equitable society. I see a future where every individual can have an equal chance to own appreciating unique digital assets and participate in economic activities while running their own lightning node," says Gideon Nweze.

The DIBA ecosystem allows art lovers to collect curated digital arts that are tied directly to Bitcoin's UTXOs (unspent Bitcoin transaction outputs) through a tokenless layer 2 scaling solution and client-side validated smart contracting system "RGB", by the LNP/BP Standards Association with major contributions from Dr Maxim Orlovsky and Dr Olga Ukolova (Pandora Core).

These assets are Taproot ready, meaning that they support the most significant upgrade to the Bitcoin network since 2017, improving Bitcoin's privacy, smart contract capabilities, and lowering transaction costs. With taproot, you get optimization of Bitcoin, much different from how people know Bitcoin today.

Heaven Quiban, an art lover and community coordinator with DIBA, shared her excitement about the impact that Bitcoin NFT will have on the arts community. "This is an opportunity for artists to securely share their art and create a living for themselves. We can start to move past the 'starving artist' stage and further legitimize creativity as a viable life path."

The DIBA NFT platform will be going live later this fall. To learn more, sign up at http://lovediba.com.

Pertama Digital announces 4 product partners for its digital bank

PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA, Jun 9, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Pertama Digital Berhad announced today that it has secured the first four product partners, Trevo, Paywatch, Qoala and Butterfly FX, which will bring expertise and solutions in their respective fields to plug into Pertama Digital's proposed digital bank. This comes after its recent announcements on securing Crowdo Holdings Pte Ltd and INFOPRO Sdn Bhd as consortium partners to apply for a digital banking licence from Bank Negara Malaysia.



In order to build a digital bank that empowers financially underserved Malaysians, Pertama Digital has built strong relationships with existing financial inclusion innovators, such as these companies, on ethical financial products addressing insurtech (takaful), gig economy and edtech.

Pertama Digital's Director of Strategy Saify Akhtar said: "We are very excited to collaborate with our new product partners to build financially inclusive solutions for the Rakyat. Over the years, we gained valuable experience and insights from delivering digital financial services to the financially underserved via MyPay and eJamin. Pertama Digital champions people-private-public partnerships and has attracted product experts within the local and regional financial inclusion ecosystem such as these four partners. We are taking position as the platform that facilitates flow of value between innovators and the Rakyat."

Trevo, Paywatch, Qoala and Butterfly FX share our common values to stay close to the Rakyat and permanently place customers at the centre of the digital bank strategy and business model. Together, our impactful solutions will help vulnerable Malaysians gain access to efficient, affordable and user-friendly digital financial services, which are needed now more than ever in the face of economic and social challenges presented by the pandemic."

Trevo, incorporated as Future Mobility Solutions Sdn Bhd, is a fully owned subsidiary of car-rental platform SOCAR Malaysia. Currently the largest P2P car-sharing marketplace in Southeast Asia, Trevo enables those not financially equipped to lease or purchase cars, to own one by only paying for it as needed. On the other hand, a different segment of users can make money from sharing their cars when it is not in use, which helps to alleviate the financial burden of servicing their monthly loan instalments. Pertama Digital will establish a Shariah-compliant short-to-medium term Digital Investment Trust that will be used to, among others, offer vehicle financing to the needy via Trevo's products. The digital bank will provide the initial seed fund and manage it on behalf of customers from the underserved group as micro-investors. This product allows individuals like delivery riders to not only earn an income doing deliveries but also from the very assets they use to do so; the vehicles.

Paywatch, a winner of the Gig Economy Challenge hosted by the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), Bank Negara Malaysia, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) and MetLife Foundation, partners with employers and banks to provide B40 workers instant access to earned wages, in real-time, before payday – without disrupting the existing human resource operations of employers. In collaboration with Pertama Digital, Paywatch strives to serve as a bridge for low-income workers to access low-cost financing directly from Paywatch's major financial institutional partners. In this way, they deter workers from turning to informal and predatory lenders and facilitate access to legitimate institutions for the financially underserved. As a regional player, Paywatch has offices in Seoul, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong, with representatives in Singapore.

With its head office in Jakarta, Indonesia, Qoala is the leading insurtech in Southeast Asia that has expanded its reach across Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand, helping millions of consumers get access to affordable insurance and convenient claims by leveraging technology. Qoala will work with Pertama Digital to help protect the financially underserved through takaful coverage for vehicle owners and operators among the B40 group, takaful payout to cover sick leave days and microtakaful to cover reduction in or loss of income of MSMEs and cash-earners.

EdTech provider Butterfly FX, part of the UNCDF Financial Innovation Lab cohort, is a women-led social enterprise that provides solutions for underserved communities. Their behaviour-based financial education platform is based on years of experience in financial literacy outreach serving Projek Perumahan Rakyat communities in Malaysia, combined with product design for global Fortune 500 companies. Microfinance institutions, fintechs and other institutions have leveraged their solutions in Malaysia, the Philippines and Haiti, to ensure better financial understanding and more informed financial product adoption, particularly in the area of micro-financing and credit for MSMEs. Pertama Digital will collaborate with Butterfly FX to equip underserved communities (including MSMEs) with knowledge and skills in personal finance management, in order to achieve positive financial well-being. The latter will provide bite-sized and principles-based content, including animations, to make the experience more memorable for learners' understanding and real-life application.

"The pandemic has surfaced opportunities to innovate and deploy solutions rapidly for both social and commercial gain, especially in the space of financial inclusion. Our research shows that a large number of small businesses and the Rakyat are concerned about the future of their income and livelihood. This is where our digital bank and all stakeholders in the financial ecosystem, can play a role for the greater good by coming together to help those of us who have been affected. We feel reassured about finding and working with these partners who have proven that their solutions will meet the nation's financial inclusion goals," concluded Saify.

Pixl.One Announces Blockchain Advertisement Platform of the Future

TALLINN, EE, Jun 9, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – The advertising industry is in a dire situation today, with ads and other promotional media being forced on viewers – Leading to endless spam and ineffective conversion rates for companies. Ads help media and content creators monetize their creations but with the middleman taking a significant portion of the earning, they are forced to run more ads to achieve the same end result. The answer is clear – A change is needed in the advertising landscape.


Pixl.One – Bringing Great Ads to the Masses


Pixl.One is offering users from around the world a chance to break the online advertising status quo by leveraging blockchain technology. This eliminates the need for an intermediary, with the revenue generated being directly sent to the content creator. This is all made possible via the One Million Pixel Page, a digital landscape consisting of one million individual pixels, which are all available in any quantity up to 1 million. A true digital billboard, built by the people, for the people.

Pixl.One understands the need for authentic interaction in the importance of converting ad impressions into clicks – and with viewers able to swipe the ads and essentially vote what is pleasing and what is not, the best ads will show, attracting vastly improved conversion rates. Pixels can be bought using the native PXL tokens through the fully audited, completely rug proof BSC smart contract. The one Million Pixels Page is set to launch in Q4 of 2021.

Pixl.One also allows users to mint NFTs from any of their Pixel space, creating an immutable copy of memes and other art. The benefits of course extend to advertisers – who will also be able to create collector's items from their marketing materials, creating lifetime value from campaigns which would typically run from 2-6 weeks. There will always be a market for people who are willing to pay top dollar for exclusive ownership rights and this can be monetized through NFTs on Pixl.One.

More than Just Ads

Pixl.One understands the importance of creating a holistic ecosystem and to this end has built several additional services, including staking. Within the Pixl.One ecosystem, users can earn interest by becoming liquidity providers to Pixl partners that have affiliate projects, with 5% of the fee being distributed to the liquidity pool.

Pixl also offers a gaming platform, enabling users to not only upload their creations but allow competitions where players can win prizes, and there is a community-led "coin of the month" section on the site, which further promotes the organic development of the industry and shines the spotlight on coins which would otherwise go unnoticed.

Transparency at the Core

Against the backdrop of a slew of BSC-based scam projects, the Pixl.One team has decided to showcase its dedication to the core values of the blockchain – transparency and provable fairness. The core team has been fully doxxed, and the entire project has been successfully audited by Solidity Finance to ensure there is absolutely no chance of a rug pull, something that is fast becoming a norm. Of the quadrillion PXL tokens being offered, the team will hold zero tokens and 5% of each transaction will be distributed back to PXL token holders.

Even the Whitepaper is hashed and users can check if any unauthorized changes have been made to ensure authenticity. The project has also had its PXL coin listed on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko to ensure transparency and accuracy of pricing information at all times.

Pixl.One Roadmap

Having a grand plan and vision for the transformation of the industry does not come for free. The project has reached and exceeded major project milestones recently, including:

— IFO: Hosted on DXSale, a token sale, swap and DeFi DAO, the Initial Fair Offering (IFO) was a resounding success.
— PancakeSwap Listing: PXL was recently made available for exchange on one of the largest trading platforms on Binance Smart Chain, PancakeSwap.
— Solidity Finance Audit: Pixl.One's code and smart contracts have been checked in depth by the reputed Solidity Finance to ensure code-level integrity.

In the coming months, Pixl.One has more exciting launches such as the ability for advertisers to create NFTs and increased partnerships with different firms that will see the integration of Pixl.One advertisement system within their ecosystems. Long term plans include Pixl's own DEX, dedicated wallet and merchandising.

Long-term, Pixl.One core team will also give its users absolute ownership of the project, much like DAOStack and Aragon. The team will not hold any PXL tokens, relinquishing control to the public completely. Through this, it will be the public that will dictate the direction and growth of the network, a truly Decentralized Autonomous Organization that has no central authority – a platform of the people for the people. While many projects claim to give control to their users, the fact is that they retain a significant amount of the platform tokens and retain influence, and Pixl.One seeks to uproot this tradition via their project.

Pixl.One essentially changes how the traditional advertising industry works. Using blockchain, it not only eliminates the revenue eating middleman, but its democratic voting system allows only the best ads being used within contents to maximise profits for both, the ad firm and the content creator.

KoHo Chain to List on BitMart Exchange

NEW YORK, NY, Jun 7, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – BitMart, a premier global digital asset trading platform, will list KoHo Chain (KHC) on June 9, 2021. For all BitMart users, the KHC/USDT trading pair will be officially available for trading at 4:00 AM EDT.





What is KoHo Chain?

KoHo Chain (KHC) is the next-generation inclusive finance (InFi) infrastructure based on blockchain side-chain technology and is the first high-performance privacy public chain that bridges the KHC side chain to the Ethereum ecosystem for large-scale commercial usage securely.

The mass population cannot fully safeguard money and data security in a centralized organization. Over time it will cost many resources and financial services – causing a vicious cycle of unbalanced regional development. Changes in the industry ecology and users need a voice and a stronger sense of security.

Understanding the challenges of long processing times, inaccessibility and lack of transparency, coupled with the risks that come with the traditional finance systems, KoHo is committed to create a decentralized, inclusive financial ecosystem with a strong focus on privacy protection and security, which addresses the current pain points. By doing so, it will drastically lower the barriers of entry for users to become a part of the DeFi ecosystem to make secure transactions – users will only need a mobile phone connected to the Internet to get access to all the financial services.

KoHo foundation is at the forefront of this social revolution, working to solve the current problems facing human society through high-tech means – how to construct a more cohesive community organization and more equitable and efficient distribution of incentives.

KoHo Public Chain Emerges As The Times Require

With the improvement of DeFi financial infrastructure, derivatives of DeFi bring more and more new landing scenarios. In the face of the growing demand in DeFi, the current DeFi infrastructure has been challenging to meet the public's desire for Inclusive Finance.

KoHo's objective is to reduce the threshold for most cryptocurrency enthusiasts to participate in DeFi and continuously expand the boundary of DeFi.

By building a breakthrough new generation of high-performance private financial chain, KoHo has solved such prominent problems as weak scalability, high transaction cost, slow transaction speed and poor transaction experience in the existing DeFi domain.

The traditional financial industry has a high requirement for the efficiency of the trading system. Take securities trading as an example. Traditional securities trading mainly includes the declaration, matchmaking, clearing, settlement and other steps, with TPS up to hundreds of thousands. Bitcoin and Ethereum, the largest public chain, have TPS in the tens or even single digits, leading to frequent congestion.

By developing a tamper-proof, cutting-edge technical architecture which includes sharding, sub-chain expansion, state channel, online expansion, Koho Chain has achieved an impressive 100,000 transactions per second (TPS). At 100,000 TPS speeds, it would effortlessly support the key requirements of financial applications in real-world usage scenarios – high-speed and high frequency – giving KoHo Chain the capability to serve thousand times more users in each second compared to Ethereum.

KoHo public chain represents the most advanced blockchain technology in the industry, enabling the financial sector with cutting-edge technology, which will open the beginning of large-scale commercial decentralized finance. KoHo is set to drive the mass adoption of DeFi for large-scale commercial usage, evolving and pushing the boundaries of DeFi in real-world financial services and applications in a transparent and secure ecosystem that users can easily access anytime.
