Crypto Platform Kikitrade Completes US$8M Pre-series A Funding

 

Cryptocurrency social investment platform Kikitrade today announced that the company has completed Pre-series A funding of USD 8 million, co-led by Dragonfly Capital, Cherubic Ventures and Animoca Brands who also joined the Board of the Company. By providing a user-friendly, secure and fun user experience, Kikitrade aims to attract the millennials and everyday people to invest in crypto assets with ease, and contribute to the democratization of cryptocurrency in the long run.

Renowned Investors Betting on Strong User and Team Traction 

The Pre-A series funding was co-led by Dragonfly Capital, a blockchain venture fund affiliated with Sequoia Capital, Cherubic Ventures, a venture capital that has invested six unicorns globally, and Animoca Brands, a blockchain gaming giant founded by tech legend Yat Siu. Other investors include Ethereum Co-founder Joseph Lubin and his new fund in stealth, Singaporean venture capital Vulpes, Super Chain Capital, Australian venture capital Artesian, Head & Shoulders X in Hong Kong, Chinese blockchain fund SNZ and more.

With profound experience in FinTech, Kikitrade Co-founder Allen Ng said, “My singular goal with Kikitrade is to lower the entry barrier of crypto investment and provide everyday people with the necessary tools and knowledge required.” Dragonfly Capital Partner Mia Deng said, “Attracting the millennials and Gen-Z with first-class user experiences is an important trend in FinTech. We like Kikitrade’s strategies and look forward to driving the mass adoption of crypto together.”

Kikitrade’s solid and diverse team background is also a key consideration for the investors. The team comprises experienced engineers, hedge fund traders, investment bankers and crypto enthusiasts with in-depth knowledge in both financial and blockchain industries. Cherubic Ventures Managing Partner Tina Cheng said, “Kikitrade’s professional team has both excellent product development capabilities and extensive marketing resources. We are very bullish on its future growth and the vision of driving crypto’s mass adoption”.

Enhancing “Social” and “Gaming” Elements for Millennials

Sean Tao, another Co-founder of Kikitrade, has built and operated multiple social products for millennials before. A heavy gamer himself, Sean aims to integrate “social” and “gaming” elements to Kikitrade, enabling peer interaction and gamified experience. Animoca Brands CEO Yat Siu said, “NFT’s are the standard for true digital property rights and the next development of the Metaverse requires easy to on-board financial services, and we believe Kikitrade could become an influential financial onboarding platform for collectors and gamers globally.”

Entering New APAC Markets and Introducing New Features

Granted a Digital Asset Exchange Provider Qualification from the Australian government, Kikitrade has plans to apply or acquire more licenses in APAC. The compliant platform upholds a high standard on identity verification (i.e KYC), anti-money laundering (i.e AML) and asset segregation, striving for a secure and reliable crypto investment experience. To address the common misperception of the high costs associated with crypto, Kikitrade sets its minimum investment amount at US$1. In addition, Kikitrade provides crypto-based saving features and regular investment plans targeting beginners and long-term holders.

The investment proceeds will accelerate the user acquisition in the fast growing APAC markets, including TaiwanSoutheast Asia and Australia. Kikitrade will also continue to optimize its existing trading system, enhance its educational content and create an easy-to-use Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) portal. Kikitrade is highly committed to becoming the best partner for mainstream investors in their forays into the crypto universe.

Smart Money Is Betting Big On The Future Of Crypto

 

The cryptocurrency market is back – and in a big way! Between late September 2020 and late February 2021 – a period of just five months – Bitcoin prices soared an astounding 456.8%. But Bitcoin’s rise is just part of the story.  Mentioned in today’s commentary includes:  Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), CME Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CME), Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU), DocuSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: DOCU).

  • Tesla recently purchased $1.5 billion dollars’ worth of Bitcoin and will start accepting it as payment.
  • VISA and Mastercard have announced that they will enable merchants and clients to transact using Bitcoin, unlocking potentially trillions in transaction volume.
  • Goldman Sachs is re-activating its crypto trading desk after detecting huge institutional demand for bitcoin among its client base.

But one company – led by some of the brightest, boldest and most disruptive minds in the blockchain space – appears to stand apart from the rest of the crowd. In fact, some are calling this company “the Uber of Crypto” or the “AirBnB of digital storage.”

That company is Cloud Nine Web3 Technologies (CNICLGUF), and the company’s unique stockpile of interconnected applications and Intellectual Property has it uniquely positioned to take advantage of a new bull market for cryptocurrencies. Cloud Nine’s recent acquisition of Limitless Blockchain Technologies provides it with a foundation that is designed to maximize user experience and customer loyalty. And the company is emerging just as the new bull market in cryptocurrencies is beginning to take off.

The Brightest Minds in Blockchain

This forward-thinking, customer-oriented approach is the result of the work of one of the most impressive management & advisory teams in the blockchain space.

  • This team is led by Chief Technology Officer Michael Shader – with over 20 years of experience in the tech space, including working for several companies under the leadership of Elon Musk, Shader is familiar with scaling customer-oriented technologies.
  • Chief Executive Officer Alex Martini is an entrepreneur and executive with nearly two decades of investing in tech-driven ventures and is a member of the Blockchain Commission for Sustainable Development at the U.N.
  • Kant Trivedi, the company’s Chief Operating Officer, brings over 20 years of experience building and managing world-class customer operations within the Technology, Telecommunications (Rogers Wireless), Financial Services and Blockchain sectors.

A Platform Of Interconnected Assets

Cloud Nine (CNICLGUF), has positioned itself to be “the Uber of Crypto” by bringing to market three assets that work together to create a unique experience for a potential army of millions of digital miners.

Their first asset is an application that offers both revenue for the company as well as a foundation to leverage across its entire platform immediately. This downloadable desktop mining platform –LimitlessCrypto™ VPN Miner –acts as a virtual private network and is designed to give consumers a simple entry point into the world of cryptocurrency. The technology powering Limitless’ VPN Crypto Minder is patent pending, and the VPN currently has a wait list of over 100,000 users for its March 2021 launch. The company is projecting the user base will grow to one million users by the end of 2021 generating an average of $11 USD gross revenue in cryptocurrency per user per month, with an attractive $7.30 in gross profit per user per month.

The company’s second asset is an in-home crypto-mining rig that allows customers to participate in advanced crypto-mining with no expertise required. The MicroBlock™ Miner gives users a plug-and-play opportunity to participate in proof-of-work mining protocols like Bitcoin, Ethereum and more – with the ability to immediately mine up to five different cryptocurrencies in their own home. This is the company’s “crypto-in-a-box” innovation allows users all over the globe to begin generating revenue without specialized knowledge or technical expertise.

The real genius in this interconnected platform of assets, however, is the X2Crypto™ Wallet. The X2Crypto™ Wallet comes with a physical VISA™ Credit card and ties the entire platform together into its own decentralized financial ecosystem by offering storage, crypto exchange and banking capabilities. The interconnected nature of these assets is a key part of what makes Cloud Nine (CNICLGUF), such an interesting investment opportunity.

Exposure to the New Bull Market In Crypto

The surge in the crypto-markets over the last several months has triggered a wave of interest from investors – and a number of compelling opportunities have emerged. None of those opportunities, however, appear to match the unique combination of assets, experience and interconnectivity that Cloud Nine offers as the potential “Uber of the Crypto Space.”

By building a massive funnel for users – with such an impressive collection of assets – Cloud Nine (CNICLGUF) is working to build a scalable platform unlike any other in the industry.

Big Tech Is Jumping On The Blockchain Bandwagon  

Google (GOOG)‘s blockchain initiatives are particularly interesting, in fact. The tech giant is building a platform that will leverage both its cloud expertise and the Ethereum blockchain to allow users to create an entirely new kind of application. Leveraging its Big Data capabilities reference to on-chain data that is out of scope, Google will be able to improve the operational efficiency of the Ethereum smart contract platform

As one of the few trillion-dollar companies, Google has carved out its place among the most elite corporations on the planet. But just because it’s already in the 4 comma club, that doesn’t mean there’s no upside left.

At its core, Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) is built by and for gamers, but because their GPUs are programmable, miners have found a way to harness their power for the own purpose. This has sparked a shortage of gaming GPUs, and Nvidia has finally come up with a solution – its own dedicated mining product.

“Creating tailored products for customers with specific needs delivers the best value for customers. With CMP, we can help miners build the most efficient data centers while preserving GeForce RTX GPUs for gamers,” the company noted on its website.

This exposure to the industry will help its already-successful gaming products get to where they need to be while also creating an entirely new potential market for the company in the process. That’s good news for the company’s future. And shareholders are likely to be the biggest benefactors.

CME Group (CME) is a Chicago based global finance company. In fact, it is the world’s largest derivatives market, trading in everything from currencies, energy, agricultural products and much, much more. The Economist calls it “the biggest financial exchange you’ve never heard of” and they may be right.

It’s not letting the crypto-boom pass by, either. As one of the first major exchanges to offer bitcoin futures, CME Group has proven that it has the foresight and capabilities to remain relevant for years to come. It even recently launched a new product, Ether futures, giving traders even more exposure to the world of crypto.

BAIDU (BIDU) is another leader in the global tech race. As the ‘Chinese Google,’ Baidu is following a similar path to its American counterpart. It began as a search engine but is quickly expanding into almost all things tech related. Like Google, Baidu has an equally large portfolio of innovative new technology, and even better for some investors, it comes at a significantly lower price point. From artificial intelligence to television and finance, Baidu’s ever-expanding reach is not to be ignored.

Despite some pushback from the United States and even some Big Tech oversight concerns from its own government, Baidu has had a stellar year. Since March 2020, The Chinese tech giant has seen its share price soar from $88 to today’s price of $277, representing a 214% return for committed shareholders.

DocuSign (DOCU) is a tech company that has truly disrupted the way that people do business. And it all started with an incredibly simple idea; e-signatures. While the concept may seem obvious right now, DocuSign pioneered the idea and completely transformed how people sign documents.

With many companies doing business outside of the office these days, DocuSign has seen a surge in interest because, global lockdowns or not, documents still need to be signed. And  with this growth in demand, it’s also set itself apart through innovation in the industry. It’s now leveraging blockchain technology to ensure documents and signatures are verifiable and safe.

AC Milan To Join Sports Crypto Movement With Launch Of $ACM Fan Token

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Italian football giants AC Milan, in partnership with fintech blockchain company Chiliz, have announced plans to launch an $ACM Fan Token on the fan engagement and rewards platform Socios.com in the coming weeks.

AC Milan are among the most successful clubs of all time, with 18 FIFA and UEFA trophies to their name in addition to 18 Serie A titles and a massive global fanbase estimated at 450 million, including a significant following throughout Asia.

$ACM Fan Token owners will be able to access a wide range of benefits including the right to vote in multiple club decisions each season, VIP rewards & experiences, exclusive club and sponsor promotions, games, competitions and ‘super-fan’ recognition.

The club joins a list of 19 major sporting organizations who have partnered with Socios to launch Fan Tokens, including FC Barcelona, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, AS Roma, Atlético de Madrid, Galatasaray and Trabzonspor. Leading esports organizations Team Heretics, NAVI, OG and Alliance have all launched Fan Tokens on the platform, while UFC have signed a global fan engagement agreement and fellow MMA organisation the Professional Fighters League will launch a Fan Token in the coming months. More major clubs are set to launch Fan Tokens in the near future.

Notable examples of fan engagement through Socios include fans of Apollon FC choosing the first team for a friendly match and the club’s home and away kit for the 2021/22 season. Juventus fans chose the club’s new goal celebration song, decided on a limited edition redesign of the iconic ‘J’ logo and the first team bus for the 2020/21 season. Supporters of FC Barcelona placed a unique fan designed artwork at the heart of the Camp Nou dressing room, Roma fans delivered questions direct to head coach Paolo Fonseca in a live press conference and PSG fans chose a unique message for the captain’s armband as well as voting on their end of season awards through the app.

Powered by the utility token Chiliz $CHZ, Socios is one of the most active non-financial, consumer-facing mainstream blockchain products in the world. In just over a year it has been downloaded by more than 450,000 people, over 14M Fan Tokens have been sold, and over 700,000 votes registered on the blockchain. In total, Fan Tokens have generated over $30M USD for clubs and partners in a little over 12 months. In late December and early January several Fan Tokens were listed on major global exchanges driving significant activity, with $PSG and $JUV trading volumes hitting a 24 hour high of $300M in late December.

Fans who purchased ‘Milan Devils’ Tokens using Socios pre-sale feature Locker Room will have their tokens transformed into $ACM Fan Tokens upon launch. Locker Tokens for Manchester Bluand The Galácticos have sold out.

Casper Stylsvig, Chief Revenue Officer of AC Milan said: “We are happy to join hands with Socios and welcome them to our family as a global partner. This partnership allows us to give our 450 million fans across the world another exciting way to interact with AC Milan, which is particularly important under the current circumstances created by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“As an innovative Club, one of our focus areas is modernization and this partnership helps us complete another important step in that direction.”

Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO and Founder of Chiliz and Socios said:  “I’m delighted to welcome AC Milan and their 450 million fans from across the world to Socios.

“Fans of the I Rossoneri  will be able to enjoy unprecedented engagement with their favourite team, influencing the club in polls, accessing VIP rewards, exclusive promotions, chat forums and much more.

“The AC Milan partnership is a great start to a year in which we will work harder than ever on our mission to fully establish Fan Tokens as the ultimate fan engagement tool and as a powerful new revenue generator for the sports industry.”

FXK is a licensed crypto technology provider in Canada. Its current services and products include the design, construction, operations and support of exchange platforms of cryptocurrencies and cloud crypto algorithmic power, and blockchain-based solutions.

Big Fight: Tyson vs Jones Jnr – Cloudbet customers ring the changes

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Mike Tyson remains favourite, but Cloudbet customers turn their backs on Saturday’s boxing circus

  • Savvy bettors shun Tyson vs Jones Jnr exhibition
  • Value of Cloudbet’s market so far less than 1% of McGregor vs Mayweather fight
  • Celebrity undercard bout featuring Disney star Jake Paul and ex NBA point guard Nate Robinson attracts 12x number of bets
  • Almost 50x amount of money wagered on Paul v Robinson than on Tyson v Jones with the bitcoin betting pioneers

The Covid-hit sports calendar of 2020 might have thrown up a number of surprise hits with global betting enthusiasts but it seems the forthcoming Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jnr bout is not destined to be one of them.

Belarussian football, Taiwanese basketball, League of Legends… at different times, these all caught fire with sports bettors, but this high-profile boxing exhibition seems unable to land a knockout punch. Back in 2017 the match-up between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jnr, hyped as “The biggest fight in combat sport history”, or more simply, “The Money Fight”, totally lived up to its billing, making it the biggest betting event in Cloudbet’s history by number of players.

Fight promoters Triller, a social media app spending millions to try and compete with Tik Tok, hoped to replicate this excitement, and gave it a whopping $49.99 pay per view price tag. But bettors think you must be punchdrunk to get involved, likening it to that Tiger Woods vs Phil Mickelson PPV head-to-head back in 2018, which proved a waste of time for all except the two golfers, who netted a huge payday.

Roy Jones Jnr’s team has been bigging up their man’s fitness and “evolution” as a fighter, while Tyson, who last set foot in the ring in 2005, claims his recent persona of a weed-smoking peacenik will be a distant memory the second he gets his gloves on. But, with both Tyson and Jones Jnr the other side of 50, the fight is being held on special exhibition rules – such as “hard sparring” only, no knockouts and the threat of just a cut precipitating an immediate stop from the referee – the only thing to look out for is if these two legends of the ring remember they’re not supposed to be fighting for real.

The bout between the two aging ex-heavyweight world champions takes place on Saturday at Staples Centre, Los Angeles, on a bizarre card which also features a former NBA star, Nate Robinson, facing YouTuber-turned- Disney Channel star (and Triller investor) Jake Paul.

Cloudbet’s customer base just aren’t buying into this seniors’ day out and haven’t spent much time searching for Tyson vs Jones odds. Twelve times the number of bets have been taken on the Jake Paul vs Nate Robinson fight, with almost 50 x as much turnover in this market, compared with wagers on Tyson vs Jones Jnr.

Founded in 2013, Cloudbet is one of the world’s longest established bitcoin betting operators, and will be running winner’s and total rounds markets on this fight and its undercards. Besides bitcoin, Cloudbet accepts ethereum, bitcoin cash and a number of stablecoins including USD Tether and USD Circle.

New customers gagging for bitcoin odds for boxing can get a bet on Tyson or Jones Jnr through an easy sign-up process and on-site cryptocurrency purchases with a credit card. Iron Mike is favored, by the way, at 1.53 (- 187).

So why have these two legendary boxers agreed to something that could leave their reputations on the ropes? Another ex-champion George Foreman has been in the media saying he thinks he knows. “It’s temporary insanity. I liken it to a guy who wants to get on a boat and go out to sea. It seems like so much fun, so peaceful, so he wants to get out there and do it. Then he gets out there and the big waves start coming and the sea is rough and it’s raining and the wind is blowing and he asks himself: “Lord, why did I ever do this?”

Anyone stumping up the $49.99 fee to watch this may well end up asking themselves the same question.

Gamban to Block Crypto and Trading Platforms

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

Self-exclusion software provider Gamban is going to block access to certain platforms offering cryptocurrencies and stock trading to provide greater protection to its users.

Its self-exclusion software currently blocks access to thousands of gambling websites but will now expand its reach to cover cryptocurrency and stock trading following requests from customers. It says such platforms can provoke similarly addictive behaviour to gambling.

“One of the main differences between Gamban and self-exclusion schemes is that we are not required to integrate with websites in order to block access to them,” James Forman, business intelligence officer at Gamban, said.

“This means we can move quickly and block emerging threats such as esports and skins gambling that have risen to prominence during the novel coronavirus,” James Forman added.
