Blockchain Intelligence Firm Chainalysis Raises $30 Million From Accel, Others

  • New York-based blockchain intelligence firm Chainalysis has raised $30 million in a Series B funding round led by venture capital giant Accel, the company confirmed in a post on Feb. 12.

By Marie Huillet

The fresh funding will reportedly be used to expand Chainalysis’ corporate operations, which include a proprietary Know Your Customer (KYC) product that allows financial institutions and digital asset trading platforms to vet and verify the identity of their clients.

The firm reports that the latest funding round was led by Accel, “with participation from existing investors.”

Chainalysis reports that it also plans to open an office devoted to research and development in London, with Accel partner Philippe Botteri set to join the firm’s board of directors.

In an interview with American business magazine Fortune, Chainalysis CEO Michael Gronager revealed that, whereas 90 percent of the firm’s revenue formerly came from clients in the law enforcement sector — who used Chainalysis’ blockchain analytics tools to track illicit use of cryptocurrencies — corporate clients now comprise the lion’s share of the business, at 60 percent.

Aside from diversifying research and products, Gronager told Fortune that Chainalysis was benefiting from the momentum of the burgeoning stablecoin sector. As previously reported, 2018 saw the proliferating issuance and adoption of new stablecoins — a type of crypto asset designed to experience less price volatility — either by being notionally fiat-collateralized or via an algorithmic peg.

Chainalysis’ CEO remarked:

“Born out of the ashes of this [the crypto bear market and initial coin offering downturn] was the stablecoin as another way to easily and safely create tokens. This ability to trade U.S. dollars against crypto is very powerful.”

While not disclosing financial specifics, Gronager told Fortune that Chainalysis’ revenue had grown threefold since April 2018, when it raised $16 million from Benchmark Capital to increase the number of cryptocurrencies it monitors. However, the company has yet to become profitable, he noted.

As reported, Chainalysis also conducts research into the blockchain sector. This January, a report from the firm argued that two — likely still active — organized hacker groups have reportedly stolen $1 billion in cryptocurrency, accounting for the majority of funds lost in crypto-related scams.

Chainalysis’ co-founder and chief operating officer, Jonathan Levin, notably declined to comment as to whether the firm had contributed to the United States Department of Justice investigation into the alleged use of Bitcoin (BTC) to fund purported interference in the U.S. 2016 presidential elections. In connection with said allegations, 12 Russian intelligence officers were indicted in July 2018.

CardioComm $EKG.ca Solutions Now Offers a Smartphone Connected FDA Cleared 12 Lead ECG Belt Under a New Co-Marketing Agreement

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:35 AM on Wednesday, February 13th, 2019

The Novel 12 Lead ECG Belt will be Marketed into the US Hospital and Telemed Markets

  • Entered into a device technology relationship for the co-marketing and US sales of a Smartphone connected 12 lead ECG wearable device
  • The announcement follows the successful integration and testing of the device with CardioComm’s GlobalCardio (“GC”) 12 FLEX remote ECG patient management platform and its hospital-based GEMS™ WIN software.

Toronto, Ontario–(February 13, 2019) – CardioComm Solutions, Inc. (TSXV: EKG) (“CardioComm” or the “Company“), a leading global provider of consumer heart monitoring and electrocardiogram (“ECG”) acquisition and management software solutions, confirms it has entered into a device technology relationship for the co-marketing and US sales of a Smartphone connected 12 lead ECG wearable device.

The announcement follows the successful integration and testing of the device with CardioComm’s GlobalCardio (“GC“) 12 FLEX remote ECG patient management platform and its hospital-based GEMS™ WIN software. Joint sales efforts will be launched during the 2019 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (“HIMSS“) Global Conference & Exhibition in Orlando this week. HIMSS is expected to attract over 45,000 health information and technology professionals, clinicians, executives and market suppliers from around the world.

The device is a simple to use, 12 lead ECG belt that is placed around the chest without the use of disposable supplies. The belt is intended for in-home use under a physician’s prescription and can be placed properly without the need for any medical training. Once the belt is in place, ECGs are recorded and uploaded to a cloud service from where ECG files are pulled into CardioComm’s software.

GC12 FLEX and GEMS™ WIN provide an FDA cleared, back-office solution for centralized ECG data collection from remotely monitored patients. Physicians and/or ECG reading services can access their data securely for review and ECG reporting. GC12 FLEX also offers optional automated ECG interpretation to ease the ECG review process. GC12 and GEMS WIN are device agnostic solutions that offer healthcare professionals a simplified, “one-software-for-all-ECG-devices” single platform solution.

CardioComm continues to seek out innovative hardware technologies that will provide reliable ECG monitoring of people outside of a hospital environments. The Company expects the 12 lead ECG belt will be of interest to its current hospital and physician group customer base, as well as to a growing number of remote and telemedicine patient management providers that are looking for ways to add ECG monitoring to their services. As part of the relationship the device manufacturer will promote the use of the CardioComm software to its growing client list looking to use 12 lead ECG monitoring within their operations.

Solar shines brightest for renewables-keen investors

  • Institutional investors surveyed by the Octopus Group have ranked grid-scale solar power as their top deployment target, amid plans to inject US$210 billion in the broader renewable sector within five years.
  • A poll of 100 names published by the firm on Monday found 43% of those managing a portfolio of renewables were invested in solar, ahead of firms invested in onshore and offshore wind (28% each), hydropower (27%) and waste-to-energy and biomass (an aggregate 24%).

Institutional investors surveyed by the Octopus Group have ranked grid-scale solar power as their top deployment target, amid plans to inject US$210 billion in the broader renewable sector within five years.

A poll of 100 names published by the firm on Monday found 43% of those managing a portfolio of renewables were invested in solar, ahead of firms invested in onshore and offshore wind (28% each), hydropower (27%) and waste-to-energy and biomass (an aggregate 24%).

Of the respondents – a mix including pension funds, insurers and banks with US$6.8 trillion in combined assets under management – Australians (63%) were keenest on solar, followed by EMEA (58%), Asian (45%) and UK firms (29%).

The industry was the most sought-after also among firms currently not invested in renewables, although some appeared sceptical. Some 58% of those managing a renewables-free portfolio claimed to be considering solar plays, while 21% were not contemplating it and another 21% felt unsure.

Five years to unlock US$210 billion

Even as they singled out grid-scale solar as their top target, the polled investors promised to scale up allocations to all forms of renewables, with US$210 billion set to be deployed within five years.

Private banks appeared the most ambitious, sharing plans for renewables to represent 9.7% of their portfolios over the period. They were followed by strategic investors (8.9%) and pension funds (7.8%), while high-net-worth individuals and family offices (5.5%) and insurers (4.7%) were the most reluctant.  

The Octopus survey evidenced the renewables momentum won’t be challenge-free, though. Energy price uncertainty, liquidity challenges and skills shortages ranked as the top concerns for the polled investors, although costs and regulatory barriers were also seen as obstacles.

Europe before its subsidy-free hour

The Solar Finance and Investment conference held in London in late January identified investors as the key enablers of subsidy-free solar in Europe. Corporate PPAs and other emerging arrangements are easing – although not fully dispelling – investors’ unease around merchant risks and potentially low returns, it was argued.

The Octopus poll placed the continent as the most in-demand destination for renewables investors. Of the top 10 countries and region, only Australia (seventh) and Japan (10th) were non-European.

The survey produced a finding likely to be welcomed by subsidy-free players. Almost one-in-two institutional investors piling into clean energy worldwide was driven by stable cash flows (a driver for 48%) and attractive risk-adjusted returns (40%); only diversification and ESG considerations placed higher.

In the Video: This Is How eSports is also Changing the Sports Industry

  • At ISPO Munich 2019 eSports was represented for the first time
  • Competitive gaming has long been more than a hype. And the sports industry can also benefit.

Insights by: ISPO Digitize

Even the big football clubs have long since created facts: Schalke 04, VfL Wolfsburg or FC Bayern have their own departments and employ professional players. Training, competition, ambition and title – just like in any sport. Physical and mental fitness are basic prerequisites.

  The annual event for the digitalization of the sports business! Be a part of it on July 3rd and 4th!  

Martin Müller, Vice President of the German Sports Federation: “The sporting goods industry should have an interest in eSport. We have a relatively large merchandising sector. The big teams go on stage with their jerseys. So as a fan I would like to own such a jersey. When we talk about four million eSportsmen, four million eSportsmen also have to be equipped a bit. And I think there’s great potential for the sporting goods industry.”

#Esports Versus Traditional Sports, U.S. Versus China – Let the Games Begin $EGLX.ca $ATVI $TTWO $GAME $EPY.ca $TCEHF

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:50 AM on Monday, February 11th, 2019
  • Total eSports revenues reached US $869 million in 2018 and are expected to surpass US$6 billion by 2028, according to Fact.MR.
  • NewZoo estimated the global eSports audience at 380 million for 2018, made up of 165 million Esports enthusiasts and 215 million occasional viewers.

POINT ROBERTS, Wash., Feb. 11, 2019 — Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering gaming and eSports stocks issues a special edition of Play by Play looking at the explosive growth of the sector and how battles are playing out; eSports versus traditional sports and the U.S. versus China bid for leadership.

Total eSports revenues reached US $869 million in 2018 and are expected to surpass US$6 billion by 2028, according to Fact.MR.

NewZoo estimated the global eSports audience at 380 million for 2018, made up of 165 million Esports enthusiasts and 215 million occasional viewers. Meanwhile, Activate projects that by 2021 eSports will have more US viewers than all other professional sports leagues, with the exception of the NFL.

With all this money and viewership at stake, you can expect the big boys to enter the playing field; and yes they certainly have.  On July 2018, ESPN, Disney XD and Blizzard Entertainment, a division of Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq: ATVI), announced an exclusive multiyear agreement for live television coverage of the Overwatch League™, the world’s first major global city-based eSports league.

Seeing the future shift in sports and eSports, Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots, Jeff Wilpon of the New York Mets and the LA Rams’ Stan Kroenke invested heavily into their own franchises within Activision Blizzard’s Overwatch eSports league.

Overwatch franchise valuations are $60 million to $80 million, depending on country and city according to a Forbes article. Adding to its value, news hit on Friday that Coca-Cola signed a deal with Activision Blizzard Esports Leagues to become the official non-alcoholic beverage of Overwatch League and all other Overwatch properties. 

With North America as the largest eSports market in 2018, Enthusiast Gaming (TSXV: EGLX.V) (OTCQB: EGHIF), a gaming company building the world’s largest community of authentic gamers.  strategically announced yesterday that it opened a US-based office and hired a sales team to drive advertising sales and increase annual revenue.

According to the news, “The US-based sales team is based in San Francisco and will be responsible for leading North American sales. This expands the company’s current reach with a sales team in San Francisco, London, UK, and the corporate head office in Toronto. The company kicked off the opening of the sales office with a West Coast advertising roadshow, meeting with top gaming publishers, global brands, and media agencies.”

Undaunted by the fact that they are a smaller company, Enthusiast Gaming is building their network and has positioned themselves at the forefront of the market, led by Menashe Kestenbaum, Founder and CEO. The numbers speak for themselves, with a platform of more than 80 owned and affiliated websites reaching 75 million monthly visitors and 900 YouTube channels with an additional 50 million monthly visitors.

Other major deal flow in the US; Take-Two Interactive Software’s deal with the NBA and Electronic Arts Inc.’s partnerships with the NFL and ESPN. The massive streaming player growth on YouTube and Amazon is yet another indication this industry is not going away anytime soon. 

The China eSports market is second to the United States and according to Dragon Social: “Live streaming, combined with video games has become one of the most popular forms of entertainment for people in China.”

China-based Tencent Holdings Ltd (OTCMKTS: TCEHY) (HKG: 0700) is the biggest gaming company in the world, spending $150 million a year to maintain that dominance. Bloomberg noted, “Along with Activision Blizzard Inc., Tencent’s become one of the most aggressive promoters of pro-gaming. It’s hard to overstate the mania that’s gripped China in particular: at least 10,000 teams exist across the country despite just 12 spots in this year’s marquee King Pro League tournament.”

Streaming video player Huya (NYSE: HUYA) provides a live-streaming platform for gamers to share their experiences and has been dubbed, the ‘Twitch of China’ and says they are the largest in China. Reporting on its NYSE IPO, Forbes said, “HUYA is known for its sticky gaming community who engage in interactive social media features such as gifting and adding commentary during online streaming sessions.”

US company Twitch is a live streaming video platform bought by Amazon in 2014 for $970 million. Twitch viewers between Wednesday, 30th January and Tuesday, 5th February: lowest viewers 625,376 (Monday, 4th 09:00) and peak viewers 2,240,001 (Saturday, 2nd 19:00). 

It’s game on for the US versus China and eSports versus traditional sports. Let the games begin.

Megafactories buildout could up nickel demand in batteries 19 fold—Benchmark

  • Moores said that these megafactories are being built almost exclusively to make lithium ion battery cells using two chemistries: nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) and nickel-cobalt-aluminium (NCA)
  • “Under this scenario, lithium demand will increase by over eight times, graphite anode by over seven times, nickel by a massive 19 times

Amanda Stutt

It was encouraging for miners when Simon Moores, managing director, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on Tuesday.

Moores was summoned by the Senate Committee to testify on the lithium, cobalt, nickel and graphite supply chains for energy storage.

“Benchmark Mineral Intelligence is now tracking 70 lithium ion battery megafactories under construction across four continents, 46 of which are based in China with only five currently planned for the US. When I gave my last testimony in October 2017, the global total was at 17,” Moores said.

Moores said that these megafactories are being built almost exclusively to make lithium ion battery cells using two chemistries: nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) and nickel-cobalt-aluminium (NCA).

“This means the supply of lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese to produce the cathode for these cells, alongside graphite to produce battery anodes, needs to rapidly evolve for the 21st century,” Moores testified.

Moores presented a chart based on the assumption that all of these megafactories are built and run at 100% capacity utilization.

“Under this scenario, lithium demand will increase by over eight times, graphite anode by over seven times, nickel by a massive 19 times, and cobalt demand will rise four-fold, which takes into account the industry trend of reducing cobalt usage in a battery,” Moores testified.

Also on Tuesday, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence launched lithium carbonate and hydroxide price indexes, which draw from the data collected by analysts across 11 market prices. See more on price boosts here.
