Investors Could Increase Exposure To Small- and Micro-Caps Over The Next Year: Research Published By New Horizon Aircraft (NASDAQ: HOVR)

Benzinga

By James Blacker, Benzinga With interest rate cuts expected soon and other market conditions potentially set to improve, savvy investors are turning their attention to small-cap and micro-cap stocks, a new study suggests. According to the research, which was commissioned by advanced aerospace engineering company New Horizon Aircraft (NASDAQ: HOVR), both institutional and retail investors might significantly boost their allocation to these market segments over the next 12 months. Visit New Horizon Aircraft’s website to learn more about its approach to innovating and how it is building its position as a key player in the advanced air mobility market. Growing Appeal Of Small- And Micro-Cap Stocks The study, carried out by PureProfile, surveyed fund managers in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East and Asia with a collective $82.4 billion in assets under management. A notable 76% of the respondents said they anticipate that institutional investors will increase their exposure to small- and micro-caps over the next six to 12 months. Of this number, 34% think the allocations will increase by 25% or more. Furthermore, retail investors are also expected to allocate more to micro- and small-caps, with 83% of the study’s respondents saying this will be the case. Around half said retail investors will boost their investments by more than 25%, while 12% think retail investors could increase their exposure by as much as 50%. The study also found there to be a perception among some fund managers that current exposure to small- and micro-cap stocks is underweight. Approximately one-third of respondents described institutional investor exposure to these segments as underweight, while 59% expressed this sentiment regarding retail investors. However, the research also found that 27% of respondents consider institutional investor exposure to these stocks as overweight, while 30% think the same for retail investors. According to Horizon Aircraft CEO Brandon Robinson, this shift in investment strategy could be driven by the potential for higher growth rates in small-cap companies compared to their larger counterparts. “As the economy rebounds, small and micro-cap companies are likely to have higher growth potential than large-cap companies. This is due to their agility in capitalizing on new technologies alongside investors looking for significantly higher growth potential over the magnificent seven and other ultra-large cap stocks that are showing signs of being overbought,” Robinson notes. Lessons From The Dot-Com Bubble The late-1990s/early 2000s period provides an interesting parallel to today’s market environment, showcasing how small-cap stocks can rebound strongly after a period of underperformance. During the dot-com bubble, large-cap stocks, particularly those tied to the internet boom, significantly outpaced small caps. These tech giants, much like Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) today, saw their valuations skyrocket, creating a significant valuation gap between large and small-cap stocks. However, in the years after the dot-com bubble burst, small caps began to outperform large caps as the market recovered. Those who invested in stocks in the S&P 500’s Information Technology index in 2000 lost 29% cumulatively over the next five years. In contrast, those who continued to invest in small-cap value gained 89%, based on the Russell 2000 Value Index from the start of 2001 through 2005. Today, the valuation gap between small and large caps is the widest it has been since the dot-com era. In terms of forward price-to-earnings, small caps are currently trading at 14 times earnings, while large caps are trading at 20 times. This disparity suggests that small caps could potentially be once again poised for a period of outperformance. Horizon Aircraft: A Small-Cap Stock In The Advanced Air Mobility Space One small-cap stock that could benefit from this reallocation of investments is HOVR. New Horizon Aircraft is promising to shake up the advanced air mobility industry with its hybrid electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, called the Cavorite X7. With a projected useful load of 1,500 lbs, an anticipated maximum speed of 250 miles per hour and a range of 500 miles, the Cavorite X7 is designed for a wide range of applications ranging from medical evacuation to critical supply delivery, disaster relief, special military missions and regional air mobility. For those looking to stay ahead of the curve, keeping an eye on New Horizon Aircraft and similar small-cap innovators could be a smart move.

BTTC Acclaimed by Cointelegraph and CryptoRank for Ecosystem Innovation

BitTorrent Chain

Singapore - August 16, 2024 - Recent reports from both Cointelegraph and CryptoRank have shed light on BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) and its integral role within the BitTorrent ecosystem. These analyses highlight BTTC's innovations, its pivotal contributions to various BitTorrent products, and its evolving position in the broader blockchain landscape. BTTC stands as a cornerstone of the BitTorrent ecosystem, supporting the original BitTorrent torrent tracker, the Bittorrent Filesystem (BTFS), and the DLive streaming platform. Its role extends beyond mere infrastructure; it operates as a cross-chain multi-layer protocol that ensures seamless asset interoperability across Ethereum, TRON, and BNB Chain. This capability distinguishes BTTC from traditional single-chain solutions, offering a scalable, high-throughput platform that addresses critical challenges in blockchain scalability and integration. The recent Cointelegraph report titled “BitTorrent Chain's Bridging Breakthroughs in H1 2024: Unlocking Tron's Potential” underscores BTTC's architectural prowess, featuring a multi-chain proof-of-stake (PoS) model and EVM-compatible side-chains derived from Tendermint software. This setup enables BTTC to achieve high throughput, low block times, and minimal transaction costs. The platform's sophisticated bridging mechanism, which includes a classic lock-and-mint model, facilitates asset transfers across TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, with support for over 75 token mappings. Additionally, relayer services enhance the user experience by providing faster withdrawals and reducing transaction fees. CryptoRank's report named “State of BitTorrent Chain H1 2024” complements this by detailing the extensive utility of the $BTT token. Beyond its use for gas fees, $BTT facilitates faster file distribution, rewards validators, supports BTFS storage payments, and serves various functions within the BitTorrent ecosystem, including as collateral on JustLend DAO and a perpetual asset on SUN.io. It even holds legal tender status in Dominica. Despite the shifting dynamics with the rise of cloud storage and streaming services, BitTorrent remains a significant player with over 170 million active users and substantial annual revenue. The first half of 2024 has been marked by several milestones for BTTC. According to CryptoRank, these include listings on major exchanges like Bitfinex, Mercado Bitcoin, and Bitci Borsa, an official partnership with HTX DAO, and integration with DEXTools. These achievements reflect BTTC's ongoing evolution and its capacity to adapt to emerging trends, such as decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) and potential Bitcoin integrations. Both reports highlight BTTC's strategic importance in enhancing blockchain interoperability and scaling solutions. The platform not only facilitates seamless transfers of mainstream assets across multiple blockchains but also serves as a robust foundation for Web3 applications. As BTTC continues to expand its ecosystem and integrate with new blockchain technologies, it is poised to play a critical role in shaping the future of blockchain scalability and cross-chain interactions. About BitTorrent Chain BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) is the world’s first heterogeneous cross-chain interoperability protocol, which adopts the PoS (Proof-of-Stake) mechanism and leverages sidechains for the scaling of smart contracts. It now enables interoperability with the public chains of Ethereum, TRON, and BNB Chain. Fully compatible with EVM, BitTorrent Chain facilitates the seamless transfer of assets across mainstream public chains. The governance token BTT, also known as BTTOLD on TRON Protocol was granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the Commonwealth of Dominica on October 7th 2022.

Blue Hat Interactive (BHAT) Emerges as a Disruptive Force in the Gold Market

Akchirpy

Blue Hat Interactive Entertainment Technology (NASDAQ: BHAT) is making significant strides in the gold market, showcasing how a company with roots in entertainment can pivot and disrupt an entirely different industry. By leveraging technological innovations and forming strategic partnerships, Blue Hat is positioning itself as a leader in the evolving gold supply chain and trading ecosystem, with the potential to become a pivotal player alongside established giants like Newmont (NYSE: NEM), Barrick Gold (NYSE: GOLD), Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE: AEM), and Kinross Gold (NYSE: KGC). A Holistic Approach in a Volatile (and Loved) Market The gold market has been heavily influenced by global economic and geopolitical factors. Central banks around the world have strategically increased their gold reserves to record levels, helping drive the precious metal’s value to new heights, peaking at over $2,483 per ounce in July 2024. Major miners like Newmont, Barrick, Agnico Eagle, and Kinross all find themselves in nice uptrends with the ascension in gold prices. Broadly speaking, gold has been cherished throughout history and across cultures for its unique combination of qualities. Its rarity and natural beauty have made it a symbol of wealth, power, and status, while its resistance to tarnish and corrosion has rendered it an enduring store of value. Gold’s malleability allows it to be shaped into intricate jewelry and artifacts, adding to its allure. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, gold has always played a crucial role in economics as a reliable medium of exchange and a hedge against inflation and financial instability. In a world of shifting currencies and economic uncertainties, gold remains a constant, universally recognized as a safe-haven asset, a timeless treasure that continues to hold its value and significance, generation after generation. Blue Hat’s innovative approach to the gold market sets it apart from traditional players. Unlike established mining juggernauts such as Newmont, Barrick Gold, Agnico Eagle Mines, and Kinross Gold, which generate revenue primarily through gold extraction and processing, Blue Hat is focusing on optimizing the entire lifecycle of gold. The company is leveraging its technological expertise to develop an intelligent gold supply chain and recycling system, encompassing everything from sourcing and recycling to trading and supply chain management. This holistic approach positions Blue Hat as a comprehensive service provider within the gold industry. Blue Hat is integrating Artificial Intelligence to enhance its offerings, including an intelligent gold supply chain and recycling system (earning the nickname “a virtual gold mining machine”), as well as a sophisticated gold derivatives trading platform, giving it multiple revenue channels. Bringing Gold to the Digital Age Headquartered in Hong Kong with operations in Shuibei, Shenzhen and Dubai, Blue Hat specializes in sourcing, refining, and trading high-quality gold. The company’s wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, Golden Alpha Strategy Ltd., was recently granted Dealers in Precious Metals and Stones Category A Registration by Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department. This regulatory system, implemented by the Hong Kong government on April 1, 2023, aims to combat money laundering and terrorist financing activities, with only top-tier companies earning the important international license. Recently, Blue Hat announced a collaboration with Sichuan Jinyinghe Industrial Co., Ltd. (Jinyinghe) to establish a pioneering gold supply chain company. This partnership aims to integrate industrial resources with international financial capital to tackle some of the pressing challenges faced by the gold industry, particularly in China and other developing markets. By addressing issues such as low scale, narrow financing channels, poor operational standards, and a lack of credit data, Blue Hat and Jinyinghe are setting the stage for a transformation within the industry. One of the key components of Blue Hat’s strategy is its focus on digital trading solutions. These platforms allow traders to engage in the gold market without the need for physical storage or insurance, providing greater flexibility and the ability to capitalize on price movements efficiently. High liquidity on these platforms enables traders to swiftly enter and exit positions, contributing to the overall fluidity of the market—an advantage that could see Blue Hat profit in ways similar to the leading upstream players. Shuibei: China's Gold and Jewelry Epicenter The significance of the Shenzhen Shuibei market, where the collaboration with Jinyinghe is centered, cannot be overstated. Colloquially known as the "World's Gem City," Shuibei is a major hub for gold and jewelry trading in China, employing 70,000+ people with annual transaction volumes exceeding 1 trillion RMB. By aiming to capture more than 10% of this market within three years, Blue Hat and Jinyinghe are setting ambitious targets that, if achieved, could redefine the gold supply chain in China and generate sales of over ¥200,000,000,000 (200 billion Chinese Yuan Renminbi (RMB)). Shuibei has solidified its position as a global hub for the gold and jewelry trade. This bustling district houses thousands of businesses involved in every aspect of the industry, from manufacturing and wholesale to retail. Renowned for its vast selection of gold jewelry, gemstones, and precious metals, Shuibei attracts buyers from both domestic and international markets. The region's proximity to Hong Kong, a major financial center, has further enhanced its status as a global trading platform. While Shuibei is synonymous with gold, it's important to note that the district also caters to a broader spectrum of jewelry preferences, offering everything from traditional to contemporary designs.
