Company Announces Hiring of Director of Communications, Public Relations and Sponsorships
Boca Raton, Florida–(Newsfile Corp. – May 7, 2021) – CYIOS Corp. (OTC Pink: CYIO), a publicly traded company focused on developing and marketing specialty branded products in the Health and Wellness markets, is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of privately held, Helio Lending, Pty Ltd. (Helio). The transaction is an all-shares restricted stock transaction with 50% of the restricted common shares being held in escrow issuable subject to performance milestones.

The Company is also please to announce the hiring of Marko Radisic as Director of Communications and Public Relations including media, investor relations and sponsorships.
Mr.John O’Shea, Cyios Corp. Chairman commented, “We are very excited to have closed the acquisition of Helio. This is an important milestone for the Company and provides for a solid foundation to build upon in an emerging market that we believe can see continued market cap value expansion of cryptocurrency for the foreseeable future. As a first to market CeFi aggregator, Helio has differentiated itself as the GO-TO provider of choice offering customers an array of loan and deposit structures with the ability to pick from the best terms and rates available at any given time. Centralized finance, called ‘CeFi’ allows people to earn interest or get loans on their cryptocurrency by lending or borrowing through a centralized corporation. The Company has been busy building an advisory board team comprised of leading experts in the area of crypto and real estate lending who we believe can also add value and guidance on potential acquisitions. We look forward to sharing some of those advisory board appointments very soon.”
Mr. O’Shea further commented, “We are very pleased to have Mr.Marko Radisic join the team as Director of Communications, Public Relations and Sponsorships. Based on the west coast of Florida, Marko adds depth to the team and a unique skill set perfectly suitable for the task at hand. With the Helio transaction now closed, a marketing budget and plan in place, Marko will be assisting the Company on numerous initiatives including; media relations and working towards expanding the awareness of the Company’s CeFi aggregator platform through national articles, publications and social media; investor relations and bridging the communications gap between management and current shareholders and communicating with new investors eager to learn about the Company; sponsorships whereby the Company’s subsidiaries can get signage, build brand recognition and create awareness of the Company and its numerous offerings.”
Mr. Radisic commented, “I’m thrilled to have joined the Company at this time in their expansion phase. With the long awaited Helio deal now closed I’m excited to hit the ground running on numerous initiatives that we believe can add to shareholder value. With my deep roots in the racing arena, there are numerous opportunities for us to partake in sponsorship events, with the goal of having Helio plastered in as many places as we can which include upcoming race events and potential signage on various race cars. Being an investor in world of small caps myself, I find it paramount for companies to provide ongoing communication with new and existing stakeholders. My personal goal is to embrace transparency and communicate with shareholders and interested parties on our publicly stated plans and how we plan to build long-term shareholder value.”

Fintech Pulse: Your Daily Industry Brief (Chime, ZBD, MiCA)
As we close out 2024, the fintech industry continues to deliver headlines that underscore its dynamism and innovation. From IPO aspirations to groundbreaking regulatory milestones, today’s updates highlight the transformative power of fintech partnerships, regulatory evolution, and disruptive technologies. Here’s what you need to know.
Chime’s Quiet Step Toward Public Markets
Chime, the U.S.-based financial technology startup best known for its digital banking services, has taken a significant step by filing confidential paperwork for an initial public offering (IPO). As one of the most valuable private fintechs in the U.S., Chime’s move could potentially signal a renewed appetite for fintech IPOs in a market that has been cautious following fluctuating valuations across the tech sector.
With a valuation that reportedly exceeded $25 billion in its last funding round, Chime’s IPO could set a new benchmark for the industry. Observers note that its strong customer base and revenue growth may make it an appealing choice for investors seeking to capitalize on the digital banking boom. However, the timing and success of the IPO will depend on broader market conditions and the regulatory landscape.

ZBD’s Pioneering Achievement: EU MiCA License Approval
ZBD, a fintech company specializing in Bitcoin Lightning network solutions, has made history by becoming the first to secure an EU MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) license. This landmark approval by the Dutch regulator positions ZBD at the forefront of compliant crypto-fintech operations in Europe.
MiCA, which aims to harmonize the regulatory framework for crypto-assets across the EU, has been a focal point for industry players aiming to establish legitimacy and expand their offerings. ZBD’s achievement not only validates its operational rigor but also sets a precedent for other fintech firms navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.
Industry insiders view this as a strategic advantage for ZBD as it broadens its footprint in Europe. By leveraging its regulatory approval, the company can accelerate its product deployment and establish trust with institutional and retail users alike.
