A U.S.-based medical device company recently completed its successful uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) American exchange. Know Labs Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: KNW) raised over $8 million from its public offering of common stock. Know Labs announced listing approval to NYSE American in mid-September as an exciting opportunity to join the exchange for growing companies and closed its public offering within four days. It increased the public offering of stock by 15% from the original filing as part of its over-allotment option. Though it initially announced trading a public offering of 3.6 million at $2 a share, it ended up trading 4.14 million. This increase means Know Labs closed with over $1 million more than anticipated — raising $8.28 million before underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.

Aimbridge Hospitality, the Largest Hospitality Management Group Worldwide, Selects ACFN As Preferred Vendor, Opening Up New Growth Opportunities

ACFN Franchised Inc.

Interested in being part of the ACFN growth story? Click here to get started! In October, ACFN Franchised Inc. formalized its preferred-vendor status in an agreement with Aimbridge Hospitality, a global hospitality company with approximately 1,500 branded and independent properties. ACFN is the only company providing ATM services to be granted preferred-vendor status by Aimbridge. The agreement came just as both companies made headway on ambitious growth plans. ACFN Becomes An Official Preferred Vendor As Ambridge Enters Rapid Expansion Phase Aimbridge reportedly saw major growth in 2021 and 2022. The hospitality company expanded its operational divisions to focus on acquisitions and growth across multiple geographical regions and hospitality verticals, including the addition of dozens of extended-stay properties through its partnership with Three Wall Capital and its entry into the Mexican market with the acquisition of Grupo Hotelero Prisma’s portfolio of 42 properties. Going into 2023, the hospitality company is continuing to invest in new acquisitions, especially focused on continued expansion across Latin America and Europe. “As the official preferred vendor, ACFN is excited about the new opportunities for ATM placements across Aimbridge’s rapidly expanding portfolio of properties,” said Jeffrey Kerr, Founder and CEO of ACFN. ACFN Is Also Building Expansion Momentum Of Its Own While expansion plans for the largest hospitality-management group in the world are good news for ACFN, the company isn’t solely riding the momentum of its biggest corporate clients. Since its founding in 1996, ACFN has grown into a leader in the ATM industry, providing full-service ATM placements for its 2,700 corporate clients across the nation, including major hotel companies like Aimbridge, Hilton Hotels & Resorts and IHG Hotels & Resorts. That’s largely thanks to strong organic growth generated by ACFN’s inside marketing team. “In 2018 and 2020 ACFN completed two acquisitions that added over 450 new locations to our portfolio and increased transaction volume by 26.5%,” said Kerr. Notable deals in the last 30 days include two new deals to install ATMs at Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles and Hilton New York Times Square in New York City. Now, the company has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise up to $5 million to fund more acquisitions as it prepares for an influx of new opportunities. The opportunities are the result of the global mergers and acquisition (M&A) market seeing an uptick in deal volume and a decline in average deal value. With M&A activity trending toward smaller but more frequent deals, ACFN already has three more distinct opportunities in its sights. The deals the company hopes to fund with this latest round of crowdfunding are aimed at scaling its business by absorbing competitors that have been hit hard by soaring fuel prices and inflation. In addition to acquiring direct competitors, ACFN is working on adding new revenue streams, including the recent addition of cell phone charging stations and pharmacy vending machines to its product line. Founded in 1996 and franchised in 2003, ACFN Franchised Inc. (“ACFN”) provides services to 2,700+ businesses in 46 states in collaboration with our network of 220+ franchise owners.Since inception, ACFN has provided a cumulative $5,000,000,000 of spending power to support and increase sales for our partner businesses. In just the last 12 months a total of $367,566,000 was dispensed through our network, generating more than $14,500,000 in fee revenue for ACFN. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

Bybit CEO Lays Out His Transparency Roadmap

Bybit

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - Media OutReach - 18 November 2022 - Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit, the world’s third most visited crypto exchange, has called on the industry to step up together and help reassure nervous customers and governments that crypto is a valuable contributor to the financial system and has a central part to play in the future of financial services. Zhou made his remarks after laying out a comprehensive framework designed to re-establish trust and commit to comprehensive, industry-wide transparency. Zhou also looked to manage expectations by highlighting that a robust, comprehensive, proof-of-reserves program would need time to develop and could not be created, installed, and implemented overnight. “Bybit is committed to an industry-wide, fully transparent proof-of-reserves (PoR) solution that demonstrates without a doubt that we hold our client's funds in custody, and are worthy of their full trust — and that is what we are working on,” said Zhou. Zhou highlighted the complexity of crypto businesses in terms of scale, scope, and reach, noting that it will take some months for Bybit to complete and provide a comprehensive and true picture of its accounts that is acceptable to every stakeholder and helps re-establish trust — rather than patchy information that could ultimately confuse. He believed that exchanges must be proactive in creating a new type of transparency, one that improves on those used by traditional financial institutions, which still remain opaque and backward. The proper way to achieve this is to take a snapshot of all the clients' UID and balance; package that so it fits into a Merkle tree; send the tree to an independent auditor, and then work with them to verify the numbers. The final step: provide our wallet address and test it to show the auditor that we own the address. He said Bybit is now engaged in developing this fully transparent solution to show its reserves in real-time using an independently-audited Merkle tree. Bybit is also engaging a reputable auditor to prove its reserves and audit the company’s books and operations. Zhou reiterated, “To us, proof-of-reserves is a fully transparent solution that proves our clients’ funds are in custody — that is what we are working on.” This has been a difficult time for many in the industry — customers and many players have been betrayed and deceived by the magnitude of recent events. He reassured clients that Bybit’s mission, as the Crypto Ark, is to provide true value and live up to customer trust and confidence. Bybit has always been a supporter of affordable and accessible financial access for all. Zhou also struck a defiant tone. “The crypto community is stronger than one rogue actor and provides many benefits over traditional financial markets. We are at the forefront of financial innovation, and with the continued support of our customers, we will continue to be so. About Bybit Bybit is a cryptocurrency exchange established in March 2018 that offers a professional platform where crypto traders can find an ultra-fast matching engine, excellent customer service and multilingual community support. Bybit is a proud partner of Formula One racing team, Oracle Red Bull Racing, esports teams NAVI, Astralis, Alliance, Virtus.pro, Made in Brazil (MIBR), City Esports, and Oracle Red Bull Racing Esports, and association football (soccer) teams Borussia Dortmund and Avispa Fukuoka.

ChainUp leverages Multi-Party Computation (MPC) to provide highly secure digital asset custody solutions & ensure clients’ trust

ChainUp

Amidst recent escalating concerns over digital asset security, global blockchain solutions provider ChainUp Group announced today that it is utilizing the multi-party computation (MPC) technology as part of a multi-layered security architecture to ensure the highest security standards of its digital asset custody solutions. The multi-layered security architecture developed by ChainUp Custody showcases the company’s commitment to fully safeguard clients’ assets and provides the necessary assurance to ensure continued trust from clients. This is particularly significant against the backdrop of recent industry developments. Mr. Sailor Zhong, Founder & CEO of ChainUp Group commented, “The security of our clients’ assets has always been our priority. As part of our multi-layered security architecture, we combine MPC technology with hardware isolation technology to distribute the storage of encrypted information, which exponentially enhance system security and ensure that only users will be able to access their digital assets.” Other pillars of ChainUp Custody’s security architecture include risk monitoring mechanisms, comprehensive KYT and KYC services, as well as SOC 2 compliance. SOC 2 defines the security criteria for managing clients’ data based on the five principles of security, availability, processing, integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. MPC works by splitting the traditional private key into multiple shards and distributing them in various places to ensure that no one person has full access to the traditional private key. The implementation of MPC technology ensures that the private key shards will be co-managed by multiple parties which allows users to have complete control rights over assets that will not be restricted by time or location. About ChainUp Group Founded in 2017, ChainUp is a leading end-to-end blockchain technology solutions provider covering infrastructure development and ecosystem support. Built on the mission to empower businesses through blockchain technology, ChainUp’s innovative and all-around compliant solutions include digital asset exchange systems, NFT trading systems, wallet solutions, liquidity solutions, and digital assets custody and management.
