Unfortunately, most firms use outdated technology, and we hope this partnership helps push the entire industry forward.” The Innovayte platform is the only technology solution that can effectively serve the unique needs of high- and ultra-high-net-worth clients, given the UMA framework and its inclusion of a full rebalancer, model marketplace, and access to third-party managers.

Black Unicorn Factory Achieves $500 Million Milestone in Alternative Funding, Signaling a New Era in Venture Capital

Rev Up Marketers

Black Unicorn Factory announces the successful funding of over 150 businesses, totaling more than $500 million in alternative funding. This significant milestone reflects a shift in the venture capital landscape, emphasizing the viability and effectiveness of non-traditional investment models. The approach adopted by Black Unicorn Factory utilizes specific provisions within the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations that permit investments in "cash or other consideration." By embracing this inclusive definition, Black Unicorn Factory has opened new avenues for businesses that may have been overlooked by conventional funding mechanisms. This strategy has provided essential capital to a diverse array of enterprises, facilitating growth, development, and preparation for public listing. Johnny Stewart, founder of Black Unicorn Factory, stated, "Many have overlooked the potential of 'other consideration' as stipulated in the SEC rules. Utilizing this provision has empowered businesses, particularly those owned by minorities, providing them with the capital necessary to thrive and eventually go public." The $500 million in alternative funding has not only fueled the expansion of numerous businesses but has also highlighted the potential of non-cash investments in driving economic growth. By focusing on alternative investment strategies, Black Unicorn Factory has demonstrated that wealth-building opportunities extend beyond traditional cash transactions. This perspective aligns with a broader movement within the venture capital industry toward diversification and inclusivity. The funded businesses span various industries, reflecting a commitment to supporting a wide range of entrepreneurial endeavors. By providing access to capital through alternative means, Black Unicorn Factory has enabled these enterprises to reach milestones that were previously considered unattainable. This achievement underscores the effectiveness of leveraging SEC rules to create innovative funding solutions. Black Unicorn Factory's model has also contributed to the broader economic empowerment of underrepresented communities. By focusing on minority-owned businesses, the company has played a role in fostering diversity within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This approach resonates with current trends emphasizing social responsibility and equitable access to resources within the business community. The success of this funding model has positioned Black Unicorn Factory as a leader in the national venture capital arena. The innovative use of SEC provisions has set a precedent for others in the industry, illustrating the potential for alternative investments to reshape the funding landscape. This accomplishment serves as a testament to the possibilities that arise when traditional boundaries are challenged and redefined. As Black Unicorn Factory continues to expand its portfolio, the commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment remains steadfast. The company's efforts not only support individual businesses but also contribute to the broader goal of creating a more equitable and dynamic economic landscape. By championing alternative investing, Black Unicorn Factory is paving the way for future innovations in venture capital.

Therma Bright Inc. (OTCQB: TBRIF) (TSXV: THRM): Pioneering Growth in the Expanding Medical Devices Market

TBRIF

The medical device industry is expanding rapidly, propelled by technological advancements and rising healthcare demands around the world. The global medical devices market is on a growth trajectory, with a projected annual increase of 5.71%, reaching $673.10 billion by 2029, as reported by Statista. This expansion is largely driven by key markets like the United States, which is expected to generate $179.80 billion in medical device revenues in 2024 alone. In this expanding market, one company gaining attention is Therma Bright Inc. (OTCQB: TBRIF) (TSXV: THRM), a developer and partner in cutting-edge diagnostic and medical device technologies. Key Achievements and Market Positioning On July 3, 2024, Therma Bright provided a significant market update, underscoring major milestones achieved in Q2. A critical development was the successful securing of CAD $1,000,000 through a private placement, demonstrating strong investor confidence. These funds are allocated towards developing the Digital Cough Analyzer (DCA) and increasing the company’s stake in InStatin Inc., reflecting strategic moves across multiple high-growth markets. Therma Bright’s CEO, Rob Fia, highlighted that the proceeds would also support investor relations efforts and general working capital, emphasizing the company’s robust outlook. Venowave VW5: FDA Approval and Anticipated CPT/HCPCS Codes A major milestone for TBRIF in Q2 was the FDA’s approval of its 510K application for the Venowave VW5, a medical compression device designed to improve circulation in the lower extremities. This approval is pivotal as it meets the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requirement for issuing permanent CPT and HCPCS codes. The Venowave VW5 is a lightweight, discreet device that addresses circulatory issues such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). The market for DVT treatments alone is estimated to reach USD $1.554 billion by 2032, making this approval a significant achievement for Therma Bright. “With the FDA 510K application approval and CMS code designation recommendations complete, we anticipate the Venowave’s permanent codes approval imminently,” said Fia. “Our distribution partners are ready to deploy the Venowave to Medicare and Medicaid medical practitioners, offering an effective solution for patients suffering from various circulatory issues.” Awaiting CMS Approval: A Key Growth Catalyst As of August 1, 2024, Therma Bright received positive notification from CMS regarding the pending permanent CPT and HCPCS codes for its Venowave VW5 device. These codes are expected to cover ten critical health-related indications, from DVT prevention to enhancing blood circulation. The confirmation of these codes, anticipated in the coming days, will enable Therma Bright to fully leverage insurance reimbursements, significantly expanding its market reach. “We’re patiently awaiting confirmation from CMS, which is expected in a matter of days,” said Fia. “The approval of these permanent codes will be a game-changer for our distribution strategy and market penetration.” The confirmation of these codes is a pivotal opportunity for TBRIF because it allows the Venowave VW5 to be covered by insurance, making it more accessible to patients and more attractive to healthcare providers. This expansion into the insured market can significantly boost sales, revenue, and market presence, positioning Therma Bright as a leader in the circulatory health market. Digital Cough Analyzer (DCA) Powered by AI4LYF Therma Bright’s advancements are not limited to circulatory health. The company is also progressing with its AI-powered Digital Cough Analyzer (DCA). Positioned as a remote therapeutic monitoring solution, the DCA is poised to tap into the growing global respiratory monitoring market, which is expected to nearly double, reaching USD $2.99 billion by 2032. Plans are in place to work closely with the FDA on regulatory requirements, positioning the DCA as a key player in respiratory health technology. Strategic Investments in InStatin and Inretio TBRIF continues to enhance its portfolio through strategic investments in companies developing cutting-edge solutions in chronic lung disease management and ischemic stroke treatment. The company’s significant stakes in InStatin Inc. and Inretio are particularly noteworthy. The global markets for asthma treatment and coronary stents are projected to reach USD $30.1 billion and USD $4.8 billion by 2030 and 2029, respectively, highlighting the potential impact of these investments. Fia expressed optimism about these ventures, noting that InStatin’s innovative solution for chronic lung conditions, including asthma and COPD, could deliver substantial returns for shareholders. Conclusion Therma Bright Inc. (OTCQB: TBRIF) (TSXV: THRM) stands at an important moment in the medical device industry, with its innovative approaches positioning it for potential growth. The company’s advancements, including the anticipated CMS code approvals for the Venowave VW5, underscore its ability to capitalize on opportunities. By securing key regulatory approvals and investing in cutting-edge technologies, Therma Bright is not only enhancing its market presence but also setting the stage for transformative success. As the company continues to lead with solutions in circulatory health and respiratory monitoring, it presents an interesting investment opportunity. Savvy investors may want to closely monitor Therma Bright’s progress as it navigates this dynamic sector and drives forward with its ambitious growth strategy. Disclaimers: RazorPitch Inc.

Justin Sun's Message on HTX’s 11th Anniversary: A Crypto Pioneer’s Unwavering Commitment to User Experience

HTX

Singapore, August 9 - HTX, one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, rolled out the launch ceremony of its 11th-anniversary event series themed "Turning Trials to Triumph" on August 7. The event attracted the attendance of Justin Sun, a member of the HTX Global Advisory Board, along with several renowned crypto influencers. They shared their journeys in the industry and their outlook on HTX's future. A Company Is Like an Iceberg: What’s Hidden Matters Most The blockchain industry has come a long way since the Bitcoin whitepaper was published in 2008, marking nearly 16 years of development. For more than two-thirds of this time, HTX has been a key witness and participant in the industry. "People often overlook the achievements that stem from long-term development, fixating instead on short-term events. This is evident in the widespread concerns over price fluctuations, despite the industry's significant progress being undervalued. Over the past 11 years, the growth in the crypto space has far exceeded that of traditional industries. In the crypto world, nothing is impossible, and this statement holds true whether interpreted positively or negatively," said Sun. HTX has seen strong momentum this year, with trading volumes steadily climbing and the 24-hour volume repeatedly placing the exchange in the top two among centralized exchanges. Additionally, HTX introduced several new products this year, such as Restaking, Trade to Earn, and Earn with Pending Orders, all of which are well-received by users. Reflecting on the experience of the exchange operations, Sun emphasized, "The trading experience is the core of every exchange. At HTX, we focus our time and energy on enhancing user experience to boost trading volume. Moreover, the new assets listed on HTX are cherry-picked. We are committed to offering the best selection of cryptos." Since November 2023, HTX has listed nearly 200 new cryptocurrencies, with 85% achieving a fivefold increase in value. Sun likened running a company to managing an iceberg, noting that what is visible is just a small part, while the unseen portion is what keeps the iceberg afloat. "Similarly, for a company, the aspects users don't see are crucial, such as security. The regulatory environment is also key; challenges vary at different stages, but excellence is required at every stage." Enduring Through Bull and Bear Markets: Striving to Be a Time-honoured Crypto Platform Since his enrollment at the HTX Global Advisory Board, Sun has set the goal for the platform to reclaim its position among the top three exchanges. Given the current progress, HTX is striding on the trajectory toward this goal. To expedite this goal, Sun has laid out three short-term plans: "First, we will continue to enhance HTX's liquidity, not only for BTC and ETH but also for other major coins and newly listed ones. Second, we will keep attracting new users in existing markets. Third, we aim to improve user experience, aspiring to become the exchange with the best user experience in the industry." Looking further ahead, Sun shared a piece of advice from Alibaba's founder billionaire Jack Ma during a class at Hupan University, which resonates with his vision for HTX: "Not only should we aim to do well, but we should also strive to endure." Sun added, "As Ma pointed out, Japanese companies often have a century-long history, we also yearn for being a centuries-old platform and will always work hard for it, despite the challenges in the financial industry. In the Web3 space, it's rare for a company to last 11 years, but HTX has achieved this milestone. The financial sector is about managing risk, and HTX has successfully navigated multiple bull and bear cycles to reach its 11th anniversary, making it a 'living fossil' in the crypto world." Brand Value - An Exchange's Moat The competition among cryptocurrency exchanges is fierce, but Sun believes HTX boasts advantages owing to firm roots. "Brand value is the moat for exchanges, and maintaining long-term customer public praise is crucial. The next level of competition drives every exchange to enhance market depth, trading experience, and regulatory compliance. The current regulatory environment is complex and challenging, but HTX is performing well in this area. Additionally, HTX fosters a closer connection with the community and users than the super large exchanges, an advantage that must be carefully maintained," Sun explained. This continued commitment to community engagement and brand value has earned HTX a loyal following among its users and friends, many of whom attended this launch. KOL Jianing Yu, one of the participants, noted, "HTX is rooted in longtermism. Successful exchanges in China have thrived by pursuing long-term values. The infrastructure of the Chinese crypto ecosystem remains robust, with platforms like TRON being among the most important globally. The crypto industry still requires a balance between innovation and integrity." Another influencer, J@Crypto, recalled that the smooth trading experience was what initially attracted him to HTX. As seasoned players in the crypto space, the guests expressed a strong belief in Bitcoin. UNAI YANG shared, "I read the Bitcoin whitepaper five times during my undergraduate years and realized then that witnessing Bitcoin surpassing the dollar would be an extraordinary future." Dr. K also echoed this sentiment, "Bitcoin has been my steadfast companion through the ups and downs." The guests also shared their insights and advice for investors. Michael advised, "First, don't use leverage; second, only invest money you can afford to lose." Another participant, Yuanzhang, added, "The inability to hold onto coins stems from fear and greed. A larger fund base fosters a patience and stable mindset and so do the idle funds. Longtermism isn't about holding indefinitely but adjusting where you sit. If you view Bitcoin as a ballast, you'll have a better mindset." Closing Thoughts Over the past 11 years, HTX has evolved from a cryptocurrency exchange into a comprehensive blockchain business ecosystem, a transformation made possible by the support of its users. In appreciation of users' trust and companionship, HTX officially launched its 11th-anniversary event series at 03:11 on August 8 (UTC), offering rewards exceeding $10 million. Looking ahead, HTX will continue to pursue higher security standards and liquidity, enhance user experience, introduce more diverse products, and remain committed to industry development, aiming to achieve even greater success. As Justin Sun said, HTX is on the way to becoming the centuries-old platform in the crypto space. About HTX Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved over a decade from a simple cryptocurrency exchange to a comprehensive blockchain business ecosystem. This expansion covers a wide range of services including digital asset trading, financial derivatives, wallets, research, investments, incubation, and more. As a world-leading portal to Web 3.0, HTX is committed to a growth strategy focused on global expansion, ecological prosperity, wealth effect, and safety and compliance. This approach enables us to offer comprehensive, safe, and reliable services and value to virtual currency enthusiasts around the world, reinforcing our position as a global gateway to Web3.

Sky Quarry Inc. Announces Commencement of Reg A Offering

Sky Quarry

Sky Quarry Inc. (“Sky Quarry,” “SQI,” or the “Company”), an integrated energy solutions company committed to revolutionizing the waste asphalt shingle recycling industry is pleased to announce the launch of its Regulation A (Reg A) investment round. This move comes ahead of the Company’s planned Nasdaq listing, for which they have already secured the ticker 'SKYQ'. Waste-to-Energy Solutions Key to Sky Quarry’s success is the Company’s innovative approach to energy recovery from waste asphalt shingles (“WAS”). Nearly 6 million homes in the USA are reroofed each year, sending approximately 15 million tons of asphalt shingles to landfills across the country for disposal, contributing to a significant environmental challenge, not to mention a waste of valuable resources. Sky Quarry has developed a patented process to transform this waste into sustainable fuels and other marketable materials – a total of 7 potential revenue streams. Their model capitalizes on both a low-cost commodity and the global shift towards eco-friendly solutions. The Company’s many addressable markets are expected to be worth a combined $25B by 2035. This Reg A round is an opportunity for investors to join the operation as management executes their expansion strategy. Market Expansion & Growth Trajectory Part of Sky Quarry’s fully integrated strategy was the acquisition of two substantial processing facilities: a cutting-edge oil extraction facility in Utah with significant hydrocarbon resources, and a 5,000 barrel a day oil refinery in Nevada. These acquisitions provide them with an integrated capability from extraction to refining. In 2023 their refinery generated over $50 million in revenue and the Company is set to put into production their fully retrofitted flagship extraction facility in 2025, which is designed to produce up to 2,000 barrels of sustainable oil daily. Management believes that this facility will further cement Sky Quarry's role in the rise of renewable energy solutions. David Sealock, Chairman, CEO, and Co-founder, states, “At Sky Quarry, our mission is not only to think differently, but to challenge the status quo in not one but two industries – energy and waste management. Today, we’ve built an energy company which we believe is unlike any other, one which provides a simple solution for sustainable energy from a significant waste issue.” A Planned Nasdaq Listing This opportunity is being offered pursuant to Regulation A by Digital Offering, LLC, an SEC registered broker-dealer, and member of FINRA and SIPC. Investors are encouraged to carefully review the Offering Circular and its related risk factors and exhibits prior to investing. The capital raised will help propel the Company's expansion efforts and support its strategic move towards a planned Nasdaq listing, where Sky Quarry will trade under the ticker symbol 'SKYQ.' Invest in Sky Quarry Visit our offering page to learn more and join over 7,000+ investors who have already backed our sustainable mission to transform waste into valuable resources, offering multiple revenue streams and significant growth potential for our investors.

As of August 2024, it has over 247 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 8 billion total transactions, and over $22 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN. In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, overtaking USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed DAO. Most recently in October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, which marks the first time a major public blockchain partnered with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. On top of the government’s endorsement to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens - TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.
