Not Just For The Ultra-Wealthy: Why Trust Deeds Belong In Your Real Estate Portfolio

Ignite Funding

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga In real estate, trust deeds are sometimes a neglected investment opportunity. Trust deeds are legal documents that are used to secure a loan for the purchase of a property. They are commonly referred to as deeds of trust. Trust deeds involve three parties: the borrower, the lender and a trustee. The borrower is the individual or entity seeking the loan to purchase the property, while the lender is the entity providing the funds for the loan. The trustee, typically a neutral third, holds the legal title to the property on behalf of the lender until the loan is fully repaid. While many have been wary of them in the past, trust deeds ultimately provide a level of security for investors and offer borrowers an opportunity to obtain financing for real estate purchases when traditional lending opportunities are unfruitful. There can be an underlying belief that borrowers who need hard money may be unworthy or more likely to default on a loan, but this is not necessarily the case. There are countless reasons why borrowers may come up against barriers within the traditional banking system. Whether it's that a borrower already has an existing loan for an ongoing project or does not fit the traditional mold despite having capital, these borrowers face difficulty obtaining loans for worthwhile real estate projects. That’s where trust deeds and companies like Ignite Funding come into play. Ignite Funding is a company that acts as a conduit between bankable borrowers and seasoned investors seeking real estate investment opportunities. The firm specializes in providing financing solutions in the form of loans collateralized by trust deeds, offering attractive returns to investors. Ignite Funding operates with a focus on diversification, recognizing the importance of investing in capable borrowers across a wide range of markets and project types.

The company prides itself on providing individualized investment opportunities, allowing investors to choose the specific loans they are interested in and the amount they would like to fund. Ignite Funding is looking at real estate investment from a new lens, making it more accessible for both investors and borrowers. For trust deed investments through Ignite Funding, the minimum suitability standards for investors are a $70,000 household income for 2 continuous years or a $250,000 net worth, excluding the value of a primary residence. These requirements debunk the myth that only ultra-wealthy individuals can invest in real estate. With a track record of facilitating over a billion dollars in real estate loans, Ignite Funding has established itself as a trusted platform in the industry, especially in the western United States.

Firewall raises $3.7M to take smart contracts mainstream with programmable finality

Firewall

Firewall secures funding from North Island Ventures, Breyer Capital, and Hack VC to bulletproof smart contract networks. Firewall, a blockchain infrastructure startup, announced its $3.7M pre-seed round, co-led by North Island Ventures, Breyer Capital, and Hack VC. Firewall transforms the usability of smart contract technology through an innovative finality consensus mechanism that eliminates smart contract exploits. The founders of Firewall, previously the first and sixth employees at Staked —a staking company acquired by Kraken in a landmark crypto deal—have helped breathe life into the eras of proof-of-stake and decentralized finance over the last six years. In that time, the founders served institutional clients with infrastructure that handled billions of dollars, and now building on their experience, are addressing what most perceive as the final major hurdle to a full embrace of digital assets by the traditional financial system. “Firewall is building the safety rails that enable the everyday person to use the next era of the Internet,” stated Devan Purhar, Co-Founder of Firewall. “Today, billions of dollars are stolen from users, through irreversible transactions that are classifiable as theft. There’s a parallel between the current state of crypto-networks and the early internet, with a similar lack of essential security infrastructure. Our focus is not on marginal improvements; rather, we bring a required paradigm shift in the usability of blockchains. We designed a solution from first principles, and created programmable finality. Fundamentally, we make exploits a concept of the past.” Akin to a digital version of a traditional network’s firewall, Firewall’s technology introduces "programmable finality”. It extends rollups to use programmable transaction finalization rules, which act as automated checkpoints that block harmful transactions, inserted before later stages when the data is finalized by a DA layer such as EigenDA or Celestia. The founders envision Firewall as a part of every smart contract network, acting as an embedded security system that intelligently guards against threats. "Firewall uses real-time algorithms to pre-filter exploits from being included in blocks," shared Sam Mitchell, Firewall Co-Founder. "Then, by using programmable finality we automatically recover from any exploits that bypass the pre-filter checks. Detection at this stage can involve AI models or social consensus, which may take longer.” Mitchell emphasized that institutions, managing trillions in assets, are interested in the benefits of smart contracts but require a secure environment to deploy capital. “Creating comfort for institutional clients to use smart contracts will be the pivotal point for the widespread adoption of digital assets.” Past the founders, the core team is credited with successfully pioneering AI use in crypto threat detection at OpenZeppelin and Forta, and is set to revolutionize the field with Firewall's all-encompassing security approach. The startup’s initial focus is on the rollup ecosystem, and prides itself on alignment with building non-custodial and trustless solutions. The funding will help expand the team and create the community to “firewall the EVM”. Longer-term plans include developing coordination mechanisms to integrate the social layer directly into the Firewall. Travis Scher, Managing Partner at North Island Ventures, said “We believe the primary impediment to crypto’s mainstream adoption is the current security paradigm, in which a single bug can lead to a total loss of user funds. Firewall's solution can prevent such losses, and we are thrilled to support such an important company from the outset.” The funding round was co-led by North Island Ventures, Breyer Capital, and Hack VC, with participation from Finality Capital, and angels including Tim Ogilvie of Staked, Kain Warwick and Jordan Momtazi of Synthetix, Nathan McCauley of Anchorage, and Yaoqi Jia of AltLayer. “Firewall is making blockchains safer for users, developers, and institutions,” said Ted Breyer of Breyer Capital. “We see this catalyzing a new era of smart contract utility, and we’re delighted to support the team.” With the growing global adoption of crypto and regulatory spotlight, catalyzed by the BTC ETF and anticipated ETH ETF, the time for crypto-networks to become bulletproof is now. Trillions of dollars remain on the sidelines, scared to use smart contracts. Firewall's “programmable finality” which effectively neutralizes exploits, offers the security assurance needed to unlock these assets, paving the way for crypto to revolutionize the global financial system. About Firewall Firewall is dedicated to making smart contract technology safe to use in everyday life, by eliminating smart contract exploits. Their solution is akin to a robust network firewall, applied to the modular blockchain ecosystem. Contact Details Firewall Devan Purhar devan@usefirewall.com

Artemis Resources just "scratched the surface" with more significant lithium results in West Pilbara

Artemis Resources Ltd

Artemis Resources executive director George Ventouras joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of more promising rock chip assay results that enhance the potential scale and grade of its lithium discovery in Australia's West Pilbara region. The assays peaked at 4.67% lithium oxide content, surpassing earlier findings and marking a significant milestone in the region, drawing comparisons to neighbouring projects. With a substantial tenure spanning over 150 square kilometres and only a fraction explored, Artemis Resources anticipates considerable prospectivity and further exploration opportunities. The findings at the new Osborne East zone and Mt Marie prospect suggest potential extensions and combined strike lengths of up to 26 kilometres, highlighting the vast potential for lithium mineralisation. The mineralogy at Mt Marie reveals large spodumene crystals up to 30 centimetres in length, underscoring the quality and development prospects of the discovery. Ventouras said Artemis Resources plans to continue its exploration with strategic ground reconnaissance, including drone surveys and soil sampling, to expand the mineralised envelope and further assess the lithium potential.

Die 5 besten Altcoins für maximales Wachstum im Jahr 2024

Spark Metro

Während Ethereum und Bitcoin scheinbar täglich neue Höhen erreichen, sind viele Krypto-Investoren auf der Suche nach dem nächsten großen Ding im Bereich der "Altcoins". Um Altcoins in einer einzigen Zeile zu erklären, es sind Kryptowährungs-Token, die weder BTC noch ETH sind. Da die besten Altcoins, die man jetzt kaufen kann, höhere Chancen auf schnelle Renditen haben, versprechen sie, Ihre Investition zu verstärken. Fragen Sie sich, welche Altcoins Ihnen im Jahr 2024 explosive Renditen bescheren können? Wir haben eine Liste von 5 Altcoins für Ihr Krypto-Portfolio ausgewählt, die Ihnen in der kommenden Zeit maximales Wachstum bringen können. Die 5 besten Altcoins, die man jetzt im Jahr 2024 kaufen kann: Hier ist die Liste der 5 besten Altcoins, die man jetzt im Jahr 2024 kaufen sollte 5thScape yPredict Chainlink Polkadot Cosmos Lassen Sie uns einen tieferen Einblick in diese fünf Altcoin-Projekte nehmen und wissen, ob sie am Rande der Explosion in der Krypto-Industrie sind! 1. 5thScape Das 5thScape-Projekt bietet eine kuratierte Auswahl an VR-Erlebnissen, wie Spiele und Unterhaltung, und ein Bildungszentrum, das Ihre Fähigkeiten verbessern kann. Der 5SCAPE-Token ist mehr als nur ein digitales Asset; er ist eine Investition in die Zukunft der VR-Unterhaltung. Mit seinem festen Angebot und der sicheren Ethereum-Blockchain-Integration birgt der 5SCAPE-Token spannendes Wachstumspotenzial, da sich die VR-Technologie immer mehr durchsetzt. Click here to visit 5thScape>> 2. yPredict Mit seinen robusten KI-gestützten Tools, die Krypto-Investitionen vereinfachen sollen, wird yPredict das Wort "Rätselraten" aus dem Wörterbuch eines jeden Krypto-Investors entfernen. Die Tools der yPredict-Plattform, die für die Inhaber des nativen Tokens YPRED zugänglich sind, bieten Krypto-Investoren Analysen und Vorhersagen zum Krypto-Markt. Die KI-Signale, die von diesen Tools verwendet werden, helfen einem Anleger, fundierte Krypto-Investitionsentscheidungen zu treffen, anstatt sich auf Vermutungen zu verlassen oder Tipps aus nicht authentischen Quellen wie Nachrichten und Social-Media-Kanälen für Investitionen zu übernehmen. Da es sich um eine einzigartige Plattform in der KI- und Kryptoindustrie handelt, ist das erwartete Wachstum der Nutzerbasis und die Nachfrage nach dem Utility-Token relativ hoch. 3. Chainlink Die Chainlink-Plattform ist ein dezentrales Netzwerk, das sichere Verbindungen zwischen Blockchains und der realen Welt bietet. Sie fungiert als wichtige Brücke für die dApps (dezentrale Anwendungen). Durch die Zulassung von "intelligenten Verträgen" - auch bekannt als "selbstausführende" Verträge - kann die Blockchain auf externe Daten zugreifen. Der plattformeigene LINK-Token wird als Gebühr für Orakel zum sicheren Abruf von Daten außerhalb der Kette verwendet. Ein solcher Utility-Altcoin kann in naher Zukunft zum Wachstum angetrieben werden, wenn mehr Entwickler Chainlink als ihre bevorzugte Plattform für dApps adaptieren. 4. Polkadot Polkadot ist eine Blockchain-übergreifende Plattform, die die Interoperabilität in den Vordergrund stellen soll. Sie gibt uns außerdem einen Einblick in eine Zukunft, in der die Verbindung zwischen verschiedenen Blockchains effizienter und fehlerfrei sein wird. Der DOT-Token von Polkadot wird hauptsächlich für Plattform-Governance, Staking und Bonding verwendet. Letzteres bedeutet, dass DOT von den an Polkadot angeschlossenen Parachains verwendet wird, um sich einen Platz auf der Relay Chain zu sichern - ein Prozess, der als Bonding bekannt ist. Daher wird dieser Token als eine Lebensader innerhalb des Polkadot-Ökosystems betrachtet. Ein Token mit so viel Essentialität ist unbestreitbar eine großartige Investitionsmöglichkeit für kurz- und langfristige Zwecke. 5. Cosmos Wie Polkadot konzentriert sich auch Cosmos auf die Interoperabilität von Blockchains und verfolgt das Ziel, ein "Netzwerk von Netzwerken" zu schaffen, indem es die Kommunikation zwischen verschiedenen Blockchains erleichtert. Dies fördert eine besser vernetzte und zukunftssichere Kryptolandschaft. Der ATOM-Token von Cosmos bietet mehrere Verwendungsmöglichkeiten innerhalb des Ökosystems, wie z. B. die Sicherung des Netzwerks, die Durchführung von Transaktionen und die Mitsprache der Nutzer der Plattform bei der Zukunft der Cosmos-Plattform. Warum 5SCAPE der beste Altcoin für 2024 ist Viele Altcoin-Projekte mögen kommen und gehen, aber diejenigen, die eine vielversprechende Zukunft haben und mit der Technologie der nächsten Generation vernetzt sind, werden bleiben! Das erwartete Wachstum der Nutzerbasis der VR-Technologie wird sich in den nächsten vier Jahren mehr als verdoppeln. Dieses Wachstum der Nachfrage in der futuristischen VR-Industrie kann das VR-Ökosystem von 5thScape auf die nächste Stufe heben. Wir sprechen hier nicht nur über den Teil des VR-Ökosystems, der sich mit "virtuellen" Erfahrungen befasst; das 5thScape-Projekt ist noch einen Schritt weiter gegangen. Sie haben ihren eigenen ergonomischen Gaming-Stuhl, SwitfScape, auf den Markt gebracht, der für alle geeignet ist, die eine bequeme VR-Eskapade zu Hause erleben möchten. Darüber hinaus haben sie auch ein VR-Headset mit hochauflösender Grafik auf den Markt gebracht. Mit einem breiten VR-Ökosystem auf seiner Plattform und VR-Zubehör hat sich 5thScape als ein zukunftssicheres Projekt etabliert, in das man investieren kann. 2024 könnte das beste Jahr sein, um 5SCAPE-Token in Ihr Portfolio aufzunehmen, da sich das Projekt noch in der Anfangsphase befindet und einen lukrativen Einstiegspunkt bietet. Abschließende Überlegungen zu den besten Altcoins, die man jetzt im Jahr 2024 kaufen sollte Indem Sie diese Altcoins zusammen mit den traditionellen Token in Ihr Portfolio aufnehmen, können Sie sich an einer breiten Palette neuer Krypto-Projekte beteiligen, die das Potenzial für maximale Renditen haben. Jedes neue Projekt stellt sich einer anderen Herausforderung im Kryptobereich und bietet seinen Nutzern eine einzigartige Reihe von Funktionen. Denken Sie daran, dass Diversifizierung bei einer Krypto-Investitionsstrategie entscheidend ist. Die Verteilung Ihrer Investitionen auf verschiedene Altcoins mindert das Risiko und ermöglicht es Ihnen, das Wachstumspotenzial mehrerer Sektoren innerhalb des dynamischen Kryptowährungsmarktes zu nutzen.

Siebert Williams Shank Bolsters Education Financing with Hire of Andrew Belinfanti Knight

Siebert Williams Shank

Siebert Williams Shank & Co. (SWS) has announced a significant new hire in Andrew Belinfanti Knight as Managing Director of Public Finance. A 16-year veteran of the municipal bond sector, Belinfanti Knight spent the past six years as Executive Director of Public Finance at UBS, where he was responsible for day-to-day banking coverage of local and state entities issuing municipal bonds in the Western United States. Belinfanti Knight, who has worked on over $20 billion of senior managed transactions in municipal finance, will lead SWS’ coverage of K-14 education (public school districts and community colleges) municipal bond issuers in California and the West Region at large. He will leverage his existing relationships with numerous state and local entities to help drive SWS’ continued growth in the public school financing space, a major point of emphasis for the firm in 2024. “Our firm is committed to expanding in regions and sectors with robust muni issuances, and we view the K-14 market in California to be a great intersection of such,” said Gary Hall, President of Infrastructure & Public Finance at SWS. “Given his high regard for technical excellence, I am looking forward to Andrew elevating our value proposition to new and existing school district and community college issuers in the West Region.” Belinfanti Knight is a well-rounded banker known for client relationships and quantitative analysis. At UBS he conducted credit rating analysis of cities, counties, schools and community colleges, helping build the firm into a top 10 player in public finance in the state of California. He spent the previous eight years as Director of Public Finance at Wells Fargo, where he helped grow the company’s public finance presence in California into a major enterprise. Belinfanti Knight will join three other SWS bankers already situated in the firm’s Los Angeles office, led by Managing Director & Head of West Region Grace Yuen. “We are very excited to have Andrew join our team and elevate our presence in the K-14 educational sector in California and throughout the West Coast,” Yuen said. “His knowledge about the sector will be invaluable as we continue to serve our clients and grow our footprint in the region.” Belinfanti Knight, who earned an MBA in Finance from Howard University, started his career in the mortgage-backed securities space before transitioning to public finance. He has lived in Los Angeles since 2008, when he was an Associate of Public Finance for Banc of America Securities. “The execution that I’ve seen from Siebert Williams Shank and the rapid growth of the firm over the past few years is a major attraction,” Belinfanti Knight said. “The most important thing for me is to be part of a firm that’s 100 percent committed to the municipal bond industry, and with Siebert this is their core business, so that speaks for itself.” Dually headquartered in New York, NY and Oakland, CA, SWS is an independent non-bank financial services firm that offers investment banking, sales and trading, research, and advisory services. Its mission is to exceed expectations through value-added results and leave a lasting impact on the sectors, corporations, and communities they serve. SWS counts 74 Fortune 100 companies among its clients. ### Contact Details Butler Associates Tom Butler +1 646-213-1802 TButler@ButlerPR.com Butler Associates Nick Eilerson +1 646-205-7627 Company Website https://www.siebertwilliams.com/
