  • In June, the Company completed the acquisition of Medi-Call Inc. (“Medi-Call”) by acquiring 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company, an arm’s length privately held company, incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. As a result of the acquisition, Medi-Call is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Datametrex.

Datametrex is integrating its platform into the Company’s core AI technology.
  • The Company announced, May 27, 2021, new sales revenue from Incheon International Airport Corporation and the Shinhan Financial Group, located in Seoul, South Korea.
  • In April 2021, the Company’s common shares began trading on the OTCQB under the stock symbol “DTMXF”.
  • The Company remains approximately a 10% shareholder of Graph Blockchain Inc. (GBLC: CSE).

Outlook

Despite a significant market slowdown due to the pandemic, the Company continued to improve its balance sheet in Q2. The Company continues focusing its resources on expanding and improving its AI business in 2021, with the Company expecting to see significant growth in both its existing cybersecurity AI verticals and new health technology verticals that the Company is building on.

Unfortunately even with populations being vaccinated, and as the contagious Delta variant continues to circulate, there is clear and mounting evidence that people are coming down with breakthrough COVID-19 infections. Testing, contact tracing is a COVID-19 preventative action that will continue for years to come. Only 29.6% of the world population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and a mere15.2% is fully vaccinated.

As Datametrex further integrates Concierge Medical Consultants Inc’s business, the Company sees a significant upside as the pandemic shows signs that patients are moving to healthcare being administered at home.

Given the surge in the need for additional healthcare resources, establishing alternative healthcare options becomes critical. Datametrex understands that non-acute healthcare can mitigate exposing patients and their families to COVID-19. The Company is exploring deploying a variety of audio and video technology powered by its battle-tested AI technology to expand telemedicine services.

“I am extremely proud of our whole team. We continue to experience growth as a result of our growing portfolio of companies. The future prospects of Datametrex continue to improve with our swelling customer base. We look forward to executing our business plan for the remainder of the fiscal year,” commented Andrew Ryu, Chairman of the Company.

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.
