Ben Gelfand, CEO stated: “We achieved record results in 2021 from our Digital Currency Mining operations. The Corporation also posted two consecutive quarters of $1M+ CAD in gross revenue which was earned via the Corporation’s Digital Currency Mining operations which further justified our 2019 decision in pivoting from the Corporation’s former business model into the current one. For fiscal 2022, and which we have already announced, we are aggressively increasing our mining capacity by expanding our operations into the State of Texas. In March we expanded our BTC mining capabilities and acquired 172 Bitmain ASIC miners for our Texas based operations and in Q1 of this year we moved the equipment that we acquired in Q3 and Q4 of 2021 from Quebec to our facility in Texas. Texas provides lower operational costs and higher power capacity than the Province of Quebec. We have also taken a 50% ownership position of a state-of-the-art Antbox which will house 195 Bitmain S19 liquid cooled Hydro ASIC miners which will increase the Corporation’s Bitcoin mining capabilities by a minimum 18.5 PH/s. It is expected that the Antbox will come online in Q3. We are also positioning ourselves to acquire additional Antbox’s which we will make further updates in proceeding months. R&D operations have continued as we diversify our portfolio of offerings and our Bluesky Intel Website Platform (BSI) https://blueskyintel.com has already begun its early release program. The Management Team and the Board are excited with the outlook for 2022.”

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.
