KUALA LUMPUR, Sep 1, 2021 - (JCN Newswire) - iSend Logistics Malaysia ("iSend"), a logistics and warehousing specialist and a subsidiary of MAA Group Berhad, is expanding its last-mile delivery services through a partnership with Ikobana Sdn Bhd ("IKOBANA"), a homegrown courier and freight forwarding services provider established in 2006, with 70 outlets across Peninsular Malaysia.
The COVID-19 pandemic, and the lockdowns, has quickened the pace of digital adoption among consumers as well as businesses, with an ensuing boom in e-commerce transactions. According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, for the second quarter ended 30 June 2021, e-commerce income grew by 23.3% to RM267.6 billion compared to the same quarter in 2020 while compared to the first quarter ended 31 March 2021, income grew by 5.1%.
For the whole of 2020, e-commerce income grew by 32.7% to RM896.4 billion as the COVID-19 lockdowns boosted not only online retail transactions but also transactions among businesses particularly in the manufacturing and services sectors.
"Set against this backdrop, an important feature in this 'chain' is the delivery provider. Whilst online transactions are a fun - and occasionally, therapeutic - way of 'surviving' these gloomy times, what's NOT so fun is waiting for that much anticipated delivery, and if you're the sender, not knowing whether your items will be delivered safely - and in one piece - to the recipient," said Zamri Rahman, iSend Logistics General Manager.
Tapping into this current landscape, iSend, a full-suite, land-based logistics provider and warehousing company, which has its main warehousing operations in the Klang Valley, Penang, Johor and soon in Kuantan and Melaka, is offering personalised, cost-efficient, fast and reliable courier delivery services, not only to its corporate clients but also to the public.
"This strategic partnership between iSend and IKOBANA will provide an opportunity for us to demonstrate our position in Malaysia's first and last mile delivery market. To keep up with the e-commerce boom in Malaysia, iSend will be focusing on partnerships, ramping up investment into technology and strengthening operations. We've identified gaps in consumer demand and will be offering exciting and newly improved products and services soon," explained Zamri.
Elaborating, he shared, "We plan in the next five years to expand across Malaysia by having at least 99 satellite stations with the support of seven hubs in each region. We currently have six distribution centres and 60 satellite stations in Malaysia." The company also has a presence and originates from the Philippines.
Customers using IKOBANA's iShop to drop and send off goods can now select iSend as their fast and reliable last-mile delivery provider and enjoy special rates. At the same time, IKOBANA will provide the best shipping comparisons from reputable courier companies online and offline, which is good value for money especially for supply-chain customers, who will also save time in the decision-making process.
Ikobana President, En Nurhazli Ghazali, said, "iSend's first/last mile operations enables point-to-point delivery service. IKOBANA outlets can now offer home pick-up for parcels using our mobile app. With the pandemic, customers are more familiar doing transactions on the internet and are happy not to go outside".

コインスター、西友が運営するサニーに九州地方初のマシンを設置
米国や欧州ではコインスター・マシンが大手スーパーマーケットを中心に約23,000台が設置されています。日本では2018年に法人を設立して以来、設置店舗を拡大しており、今年8月には全国の小売店で導入台数が合計200を越えました。
コインスター・マシンを導入する小売店舗には設置料が支払われます。利用者はコインスター・マシンが設置されている店舗に好んで来店する傾向にあることから、換金した引換券での買い物による売上増も期待できます。また、また、コインスターのサービスは、小売業界、生活者のデジタル化の推進にも繋がるため、その導入の需要は高まっています。
昨今、キャッシュレス決済の普及により、大量の硬貨が家庭に滞留しており、交換ニーズが高まっていると考えられています。滞留硬貨をコインスターで利用可能し消費を喚起させることは、家庭に眠る硬貨のリサイクル、再流通につながり、さらには、国内経済にとってもプラスに作用すると考えられます。
現金大国と言われている日本では、硬貨の流通価値は4.95兆円に上っており、一人当たりの硬貨流通高にすると米国の約3倍に相当します[1]。消費者が硬貨を家庭内に溜め込んでしまうと、市場で流通する硬貨が不足し、政府は新たな硬貨を鋳造しなければならなくなります。そうした滞留硬貨を小売業界のDXをサポートするコインスターで効果的に回収し再流通させると、鋳造量の減少、ひいては地球資源の有効活用にもなり、サステナビリティや社会課題解決につながります。実際、鉱物採掘時に使用される化石燃料が30％削減できると試算されています。

コインスター、西友が運営するサニーに九州地方初のマシンを設置
東京, 2021年9月1日 - (JCN Newswire) - 家庭に眠る硬貨を小売店舗で利用できる引換券に交換するサービスを展開するコインスター株式会社（以下、コインスター、当社）は本日、合同会社西友が九州で運営するスーパーマーケット サニーに、九州で初となるコインスター・マシンを設置いたします。当社では、この度の九州第1号機をサニー那珂川店への設置を皮切りに、同エリアにおけるマシンの設置を更に進める予定です。マシンは9月中、福岡県内合計10店舗に順次設置されます。

アリックスパートナーズ、小売り業界展望レポートを発表 Eコマースとオムニチャネルの成長トレンド
ネットショッピング利用世帯の急増を背景に、小売業者はEコマースのインフラを整備すべく投資を拡大しています。Eコマース市場拡大の背景にはマーケットプレイスの成長とライブストリーミング・ソーシャル・セリング等の新しい売り方の台頭があります。デジタル・マーケットプレイスは新型コロナウイルス感染拡大を背景にとりわけ大きく伸長しています。例えば、アマゾンのマーケットプレイスにおいては2020年10-12月の販売高は前年比112%増となっており、直販の46%増を大幅に上回っています[1]。
ソーシャルセリングの台頭も目覚ましく、特に、中国における顧客との接点にインタラクティブ性を持たせるライブストリーミング・ソーシャル・セリングは、今後、世界が注目すべきビジネス・モデルになりつつあります。検索性や製品の発見が差別化要因になるにつれ、あらゆるデータソースを1つの分析システムに接続することで消費者に関する有用なインサイトを抽出することが可能となります。中国ではライブストリーミング中に購入された商品の返品率は通常のEコマースと比較し50%減、売上は2020年に1,250億米ドルに上り2019年と比較し89%増の大幅成長を遂げています[2]。
その一方で実店舗への投資が犠牲になっています。米国では今年末までに約1万の店舗が閉鎖に追い込まれると見込まれています。Eコマースが今後も継続的に拡大していくことは明白ですが、同時に店舗の閉鎖は必ずしも正しい選択ではありません。アリックスパートナーズでは、リアル（実店舗）とネット（インターネット通販）の双方で購買するオムニチャネル顧客が実は最も大きな価値をもたらすとみています。したがって、閉鎖する店舗の選別を誤ると小売業者に大きな損失をもたらすことになります。
小売業者は伝統的に業績の低い店舗から閉鎖してきました。しかし、この手法を採用すると、他の重要な指標を見落としがちになります。アリックスパートナーズの調査によると、84%の小売業界の経営幹部が、オムニチャネルの真のコストとベネフィットを考慮していないことが明らかになっています。実店舗をオムニチャネルビジネスの不可欠な要素として活用するために考慮すべきポイントは以下のとおりです。
●顧客のパーソナライズ化とデータ：実店舗では自社ブランドのクレジットカードやロイヤリティ・サインアップが販売を牽引する重要な要素となっています。店舗を閉鎖してしまうと、小売業者はこうした顧客とのタッチポイントから収集できる貴重なデータを失う可能性があります。
●顧客獲得とリテンション：顧客を獲得することにおいては、実店舗は巨大広告やマーケティング・プロキシに匹敵する効果的な装置です。さらに、複数のチャネルで買い物をする顧客は通常最もロイヤリティが高く、実店舗のみで購入する顧客の約1.8倍の購買力があります。オンラインで購入した製品を店舗で返品する場合は、最大40%がその店舗での次の購入につながることもわかっています。
●市場競争とダイナミクス：実店舗がなくなった場合、これまで店舗を訪れていた顧客が必ずしもオンラインに購入の場を移すとは限りません。店舗が閉店された場合、顧客はその地域にある競合店舗に買い物の場を移す可能性もあります。
実店舗の利益算出においてメリットを評価しない小売業者は不必要に店舗を閉鎖してしまい、その結果、収益の大幅減少を招いてしまいます。デジタル・ファーストモデルに移行していたある小売業者は、店舗の半分を閉鎖することを決定し、その結果、ほぼ90%の顧客を失いました。小売業者がチャネルシフトの将来を評価するとき、オムニチャネルネットワークを正しくすることは非常に重要です。
アリックスパートナーズが実施した調査によると、パンデミック後とパンデミック前を比較して、オンラインでの買い物を増やす予定がないと考える消費者の割合は91%となっています[3]。中でも、フットウェアは店舗での購入が好まれる消費財の一つで、フットウェア消費者のうち、パンデミック後の買い物の主要チャネルは店舗であると回答したのは59%[4]と、Eコマースが普及する昨今も消費者の店舗での購入意向が根強いことがわかります。
アリックスパートナーズのシニア・ヴァイス・プレジデントである魚谷洋輔は次のように述べています。「多くのブランドや新たなプラットフォームが小売業者の定義を変え、コンテンツとコマースを融合させてシェアを獲得する傾向にあります。パンデミック以降は特に、カスタマー・エクスペリエンスを重視したマーケットプレイスやライブストリーミング・ソーシャル・セリングといった新しい売り方が小売市場をけん引する傾向にあります。オムニチャネルも今後注目すべきビジネス・モデルですが、既存の実店舗ネットワークへの目配りも怠るべきではありません。店舗閉鎖は時に正しい前進となりえますが、これは慎重に考えられた上での選択であるべきで、急いで行うべきではありません」。

Yiche's car-themed super party promotes 43,900 cars in August
BEIJING, Sep 1, 2021 - (JCN Newswire) - Yiche, China's leading auto IT company, teamed up with China's top TV stations to launch the "Super August 18th Car Carnival Night" on August 18. China's leading auto manufactures and dealers participated in the event, launching a grand August car promotion campaign.
More than 50 well-known Chinese stars, singers, bands and pianists, including Jay Chou and Lang Lang, were invited to participate in the two-and-a-half-hour party, and provided songs, dances and piano performances. The evening also included 5 Car Super XR shows and interactive Celebrity Car Shows.
The evening showcased the highlights and selling points of the cars through beautiful staging and XR/MR along with other technologies. The gala also offered more than 150 half-price cars and hundreds of millions of dollars in car purchase discounts.
The gala attracted more than 221 million online viewers, making it the biggest August marketing event in China's auto industry history. According to data at the end of the night, "Super August 18th Car Carnival Night" resulted in 43,900 car orders and a turnover of 6.42 billion yuan. The event was an enormous success.
Yiche believed that a car-themed carnival could activate the market and boost consumption during the summer, which is traditionally an off-season for the Chinese auto market.
Liu Xiaoke, president of Yiche, said he hoped that the event would increase brand influence and sales opportunities for major auto manufacturers and open up the consumer potential of the Chinese auto market.
Yiche, founded in 2000, is a well-known Chinese auto IT company. It was listed on the NYSE in 2010. In 2020, it was acquired by Tencent, a well-known Chinese company, becoming privatized again. Hundreds of millions of Chinese users use the Yiche platform to view auto information and buy new and used cars. Yiche also provides digital marketing solutions for Chinese car manufacturers and car dealers. Visit Yiche at www.yiche.com.

Bluehelix Bridge Solution (BBS) Rolls Out Decentralized Cross-chain Bridge Services
As of August 31, independent cross-chain addresses exceeded 1,800, cross-chain deposits and withdrawals exceed 5,000, and cross-chain access has exceeded USD10 million. Bluehelix Bridge currently supports BTC, ETH, HECO, BSC, DOGE, Polygon and TRON, and will soon support Solana, Near, Cosmos and others.
Bluehelix Bridge is a cross-chain bridge solution that allows encrypted assets to be transferred between blockchains. It has been released for multiple public chains and projects, and seeks to establish a zero-threshold circulation connection for public chain ecological assets as well as encourage the mutual chain of all things in the public chain ecosystem.
Differing from the implementation of cross-chain by smart contracts on the market, Bluehelix Bridge addresses the problems of transparency and decentralization by adopting internationally recognized and relatively safe cross-chain methods and technologies. Bluehelix Bridge is based on MPC distributed key technology patented in the US and Europe, and realizes "completely decentralized" cross-chain bridge services.
The advantages of Bluehelix are briefly summarized below:
A. Fully open-source and extremely easy to access: Projects can directly perform cross-chain operations through the Bluehelix public chain and API without any fees. As an open-source public chain, Bluehelix can provide underlying support for various financial and commercial services through open API interfaces. Financial institutions and startups need only focus on the creation and operation of financial products and commercial applications.
B. Support for cross-chain native assets and deposit methods: Bluehelix is the only decentralized MPC-based cross-chain bridge solution that supports all public chains and their native assets, and does not limit deposit methods, including cross-chain deposits from centralized exchanges.
C. Security & technology patents: At present, many cross-chain bridges on the market use the smart contract deployment model for cross-chain, which has various flaws in security. Bluehelix has achieved complete decentralization with patented MPC distributed key technology, and any cross-chain user assets have independent cross-chain custody addresses.
Additionally, all cross-chain processes and asset transactions on Bluehelix are completely open and transparent, including addresses. Each cross-chain call process can be queried on the chain and on the explorer. In addition, Bluehelix has passed the audits of SlowMist and Peckshield. Its multi-layer cross-chain custody nodes support rapid rotation and are supported by many well-known institutions.
Any project, public chain, and wallet can be cross-chained based on Bluehelix BBS solution to achieve decentralized circulation between different ecosystems. By introducing assets on other chains into its own ecology through cross-chain, Bluehelix can help the public chain to establish an ecology and help projects to quickly deploy and circulate assets in multiple chains.
For public chains: Bluehelix supports the N*N cross-chain model, supports complete chain-to-chain data interoperability, and helps public chains to quickly and safely introduce various ecosystems in a decentralized manner. Presently, Bluehelix is compatible with current mainstream public chains, as well as all mainstream cross-chain solutions.
For projects: There are many cross-chain bridge solutions on the market, but most of the projects cannot solve the problems of high cross-chain costs and cumbersome cross-chain processes. With Bluehelix Bridge, it helps DeFi projects achieve safe and free circulation between any public chains, which can be regarded as a "cross-chain version of Curve".
For wallets: Bluehelix helps wallet users to realize asset circulation among multiple public chains, which is fast, safe, and convenient.
Among the existing cross-chain bridges, Bluehelix BBS, with better compatibility and autonomy, is still in the release stage. Any individual or community can create a liquidity pool in HDEX (DEX built on Bluehelix). This feature will greatly enhance the activity of existing users. At the smart contract level, Bluehelix will support WASM and EVM in the future, allowing projects to deploy quickly and efficiently.

iDreamSky Announces 2021 Interim Results
During the Reporting Period, since the Group has stepwise terminated games that were no longer in line with the strategy for its gaming business, revenue decreased by approximately 14.1% to RMB1,367.1 million. Furthermore, the Group enhanced its game development capabilities and strived to improve and perfect user service management, while increasing the investment in research and development ("R&D") of offline entertainment business. R&D expenses during the Reporting Period increased by 45.4% compared to the same period of previous year. The Group recorded a net loss of RMB68.0 million (1H2020: net profit of RMB147.9 million), and an adjusted net profit of RMB14.0 million (1H2020: RMB215.4 million). The Board of Directors did not recommend the distribution of interim dividend.
Mr. Chen Xiangyu, Chairman and Executive Director of iDreamSky Technology Holdings Limited, said, "We adhered to our mission and fundamental aspiration: bring joy to users through technology and creativity, and build a '24/7 online & offline entertainment life circle'. After years of operation, we have built a user ecosystem comprising a large monthly active users ("MAU") with long lifecycles, leveraging our core capabilities and advantages, and aided by the complementary nature of our three core businesses of games, SaaS and 'WePlay' offline entertainment. We have developed a three-dimensional, multi-layer, multi-frequency and long-term interaction mode between quality contents and users, while avoiding the low MAU valuation of a single leisure category. We are confident that our MAU value will continue to increase rapidly, creating sustainable value for shareholders."
Building a "24/7 online & offline entertainment life circle" with a three-track business model
Game and information services remained the Group's major source of income and accounted for 96.9% of total revenue. The Group continued to adjust and optimize the structure of gaming business during the Reporting Period, focusing on the independent R&D and operation of match-three puzzle games and competitive games and seeking for introducing suitable overseas mid and hardcore exquisite games into China. The match-three puzzle games of "Gardenscapes" and "Homescapes" series released and distributed by iDreamSky had a bucking rising in 2021 as compared with the same period of previous year. In April 2021, the Group granted the overseas release and distribution rights of the "Witch Diaries", the first generation II match-three puzzle game self developed by the Group, to Tencent. It is expected to be launched worldwide in 2022. "Super Animal Royale", the Group's self-developed competitive mobile game which was officially launched in May 2021, acquired 3.5 million users in only 3 months after its launch and has gained a good reputation among players. "Glory All Star", the Group's self-developed ARPG product, was officially launched at Android terminals in April 2021, with its monthly revenue demonstrating a rising trend. Its iOS version was launched on 27 August 2021. The Group started a national league for its first self-developed RTS game, "Art of War III", during the year. It successfully held three tournaments in Wuhan, Xi'an and Shanghai, and received good response from players. The esports event greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of players and continuously attracted player traffic, while creating a wide variety of product topics, videos, ideas and other contents, thus bringing various benefits for the game development. During the Reporting Period, as the Group has stepwise terminated games that did not align with the strategy of its gaming business, revenue generated from game and information services business decreased by 15.5% to RMB1,324.6 million. The Group continued to actively respond to the national and policy call, establishing and maintaining a safe online game environment for minors, meanwhile continuously strengthening the protection measures for them. During the Reporting Period, the Group's revenue from minors accounted for 0.18% of its game revenue.
For SaaS and other related services, capitalizing on its mid-platform technical support capabilities accumulated over the years and continous investment, the Group recorded a segment revenue of RMB30.7 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 36.4% and accounting for 2.2% of the Group's total revenue. In May 2021, the Group reached a strategic partnership with Huawei Cloud to serve the vertical customers in depth together. During the Reporting Period, the Group has served nearly 600 business customers in the gaming and e-commerce field, with paying customers accounting for more than 50%. Its products passed the test of mlilions of data, and the gross transaction value ("GTV") increased 7 times in three months, representing an exponential growth.
For "WePlay" offline entertainment business, the Group acquired another IP license from the QQfamily in March 2021. Therefore, "WePlay" now holds two thematic brands: "Tencent Video Great Moment Voyage" and "QQfamily". In May 2021, the Group opened five regular chain stores in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the first QQfamily flagship store in China was opened in Shenzhen Happy Coast in July 2021. As of 30 August 2021, the Group has opened 10 "WePlay" regular chain stores, including 9 regular chain stores of Tencent Video Great Moment Voyage and 1 QQfamily flagship store. Thanks to the business model that meets the market demand, the high-quality content and IPs, and the support of customer resources, "WePlay" business has developed an obvious brand premium capacity, and become the latest pan-entertainment business modality that the shopping malls urgently need to drive the circulation of passenger flow and the growth of stay time. This has given the Group the rent bargaining power and resource access advantages to further improve the financial performance of individual stores. The Group recorded a segment revenue of RMB11.8 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 413.0%.
Actively deploying resources to embrace the sector's rapid growth
Looking forward, based on its core strategies, the Group has reserved three self-developed games in the pipeline. Testing for the two match-three puzzle games "National Customs Synthesis" and "Dumpling Synthesis" (tentative names) will begin within the year. In addition, "Garden Restaurant", the Group's jointly-released match-three puzzle game, is expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2021. In addition, "Eternal Return", a competitive game jointly developed by the Group, has entered the approval process of domestic version number. The game is expected to be launched in 2022. The Group has signed an Exclusive Agency Agreement with Tencent on 30 August 2021 for its self-developed FPS game "CALABIYAU", authorizing Tencent to publish the mobile and client versions of the game in Mainland China. In addition, "Black Desert", a MMORPG mobile game jointly run by Tencent and iDreamSky, will be launched nationwide in due course.
As regards the SaaS segment, the Group will invest more resources to expand its customer base and user population. Meanwhile, the Group will continue to deeply explore user needs and take long-term user operation as its ultimate goal.
Due to the unpredictable impact of pandemic on the future, the Group will adjust the 2021 target of opening "WePlay" offline stores to 20 regular chain stores. It will focus on opening new stores in Guangzhou and Shenzhen and surrounding areas this year, and is formulating plans for national expansion. The Group will continue the development of designer toy IPs, and march into the middle and upper reaches of designer toy industry by leveraging its own and its shareholders' IP resources, in order to break through the close loop of designer toy production links.
Mr. Chen Xiangyu concluded, "Looking ahead, we are determined to continuously promote the rapid development of the three core businesses, and enhance core competitiveness in a multi-pronged approach, capturing the flourishing opportunities in the fast-growing industry, thus creating long-term and stable returns for shareholders and investors."

エーザイと富士薬品、痛風・高尿酸血症治療剤ドチヌラドについてASEAN 5ヵ国における開発・販売に関するライセンス契約を締結
本契約に基づいて、エーザイは富士薬品より、当該諸国におけるドチヌラドに関する独占的開発権・販売権を獲得します。製剤は富士薬品が生産し、エーザイに供給します。エーザイは富士薬品に対して契約一時金と販売マイルストンを支払うとともに、当該諸国における新薬承認申請を担います。
高尿酸血症は、痛風をはじめ、泌尿器系、内分泌系、代謝系、脳心血管系などにおける様々な疾患に関連していることが知られており、東南アジアにおける現在の高尿酸血症、痛風患者様数は約283万人と推定されています1。これらの患者様数は、社会経済の発展に伴う生活習慣や食嗜好の変化等に伴い、今後もさらに増加することが予想されています。
ドチヌラドは、富士薬品が創出した新規の痛風・高尿酸血症治療剤です。腎臓での尿酸再吸収に関与するトランスポーター（URAT1）を選択的に阻害することにより、尿酸の再吸収を抑制し、血中尿酸値を低下させます。日本国内では2020年1月に富士薬品が製造販売承認を取得し、同年5月から販売しています。
本契約により、エーザイは、当該諸国における本剤の開発および商業化を進め、東南アジア地域におけるアンメット・メディカル・ニーズを有する患者様への貢献をめざします。富士薬品は、エーザイのアジア地域における事業基盤を活用することにより、本剤の価値最大化を期待しています。
両社は、本剤の開発・商業化により、中国に加えて当該諸国における痛風・高尿酸血症に対する新たな治療選択肢を提供し、アジアにおける患者様のQOL（クオリティ・オブ・ライフ）の向上により一層貢献してまいります。

DigiMax Enters Collaboration Agreement with Singapore-based Bitget Exchange
Established in July 2018, Bitget has become the fastest growing derivatives exchange in the world, with over 1.6 million registered users. According to CoinmarketCap, a world-renowned website for cryptocurrency markets, the average daily trading volume of Bitget has exceeded US$5 billion, ranking seventh after professional derivatives exchanges (FTX and Bybit), and the top three traditional comprehensive cryptocurrency exchanges: Binance, OKEx and Huobi.
With its innovative products and an increasingly robust ecosystem, Bitget has gained a sound footing amid ferocious and homogeneous competition in just three years. Following the launch of USDT-Margined Futures, One-Click Copy Trade and Quanto Swap Futures, the platform announced this April its full acquisition of decentralized wallet Bitkeep to lay a solid foundation for its future development in this segment.
The Collaboration Agreement will provide DigiMax and Bitget opportunities to collaborate on mutually beneficial business arrangements, including without limitation allowing Bitget users to first learn about CryptoHawk, and ultimately directly access CryptoHawk information inside the Bitget system. The companies further intend to develop an API system that would allow Bitget users to access CryptoHawk signals and permit direct one-button trading by Bitget users based on new CryptoHawk indicators being issued.
"We are very pleased to be able to partner with DigiMax to allow our exchange users to have better trading information which in turn, will allow them to substantially increase their trading profits from the AI-based trading signals provided CryptoHawk," said the CEO of Bitget. "In turn, we are excited to be able to offer CryptoHawk subscribers a high-security, low-cost platform for long and short trading in their personal or institutional accounts."
"By becoming a collaboration partner with Bitget, CryptoHawk users will have a great opportunity not only to increase the efficiency and security of their trading, but in the near future they will also have access to automated trading from the CryptoHawk signals," said DigiMax CEO Chris Carl. "We are excited to partner with Bitget to deliver ever increasing value to both of our sets of users now, and in the future."
CryptoHawk is an AI-driven, price trend prediction tool that can be used by any investor to maximize their digital trading profits. It continues to deliver hourly price-trend prediction indicators to help subscribers interested in trading Bitcoin or Ethereum, and now provides overall trend guidance for a broader portfolio of crypto currencies. The
CryptoHawk tool is unique as it uses AI and machine learning to capture profit from the volatility of crypto currencies, rather than incur the risk of buy-and-hold investments. As previously announced by the Company, the combined June-July 2021 period saw
CryptoHawk trading signals generating returns of +44.9% for Bitcoin and +22.1% for Ethereum before trading commissions. During that same period Bitcoin had a net change of +5.1% while Ethereum dropped -3.6% during the period.
DigiMax also announces that it has issued each of its four Directors an Option for 250,000 shares at $0.20 cents per share with a Term of two years effective as of today's date.

Stake Your ETH (8.55% APR) and Reinvest Locked Funds
Ethereum 2.0 upgrade is the next big thing in crypto. The second-largest cryptocurrency is migrating from the energy-consuming proof-of-work (PoW) to a much more efficient proof-of-stake (PoS). Under PoS, you lock funds used for validating transactions, and you earn interest rates as a reward.
You can stake your ETH, become a validator, and earn high interest on your deposit. Holding ETH this year might be a good idea, as analysts expect the Ether price to soar in case of a successful upgrade. Staking is becoming more and more popular as validators can earn up to 8.55% APR. No wonder over $13 bln worth of ETH has been staked as ETH 2.0 already.
However, not everyone can run a validator node. You need 32 ETH at minimum (over $88k), deep knowledge of the Ethereum network, and your infrastructure.
It's much easier to join SimpleFX Stake&Trade. It's a unique staking pool service, where you can invest the frozen funds. Stake your ETH today (bit.ly/3joXeV4). The earlier you do it, the higher the reward.
