When new technology catches on, regulation tends to lag behind. In the financial sector, the relevant authorities must approve new products or processes. Otherwise, investors quickly find themselves operating in a gray area. Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have been experiencing increasing regulation for several years. Nerds and activists of the first hour fear the independence of the currencies, and investors see the chance for new investment opportunities. In some cases, crypto is already considered a new asset class today. Canadian blockchain company BIGG Digital Assets received welcome news from Canadian regulators today. Netcoins, BIGG's wholly-owned subsidiary, became a regulated crypto exchange in Canada today. This makes BIGG Digital Assets the only listed Company in Canada to offer access to a regulated trading venue for digital currencies based on blockchain technology. So what does this mean for the stock?

    Netcoins as a regulated growth powerhouse

    The Company emphasizes that it has more extensive opportunities to actively promote its trading venue thanks to the trading license. Also, word from Canada is that unregulated competitors are facing increasing headwinds. This mixed situation should accelerate the growth of Netcoins even more. Already in the past months, the platform has steadily developed and is consistently growing in double digits. In the second quarter alone, Netcoins made 24% more revenue. Measured against the previous year, the growth amounts to around 2,000%. In the second quarter, the number of users climbed by as much as 40% compared to the previous quarter. For the year as a whole, the number of users increased by an impressive 1,880%.

    Security business alone is a million-dollar business

    With regulators now giving BIGG the green light and BIGG being a regulated crypto exchange in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, professional market participants, in particular, are likely to opt for Netcoins. Since the license also comes with the possibility of extensive marketing efforts, retail investors who previously had no points of reference to cryptocurrencies should also become more aware of Netcoins. For BIGG's stock, today's news is a milestone. Having a regulated trading venue in its portfolio should also boost its other businesses, which offer transaction security and methods for regulatory oversight of the crypto market. Just recently, Mastercard reached out to a direct competitor of BIGG and acquired the Company. Although the parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price, there is much to suggest that the price is at least in the range of BIGG Digital Assets' current market capitalization of around EUR 180 million.

A never-ending rally seems to be taking its course after the cryptocurrency turned upwards at USD 25,000 last September. Will the upswing continue unabated? Due to the upcoming halving in April, this could continue for a few more weeks, with the crypto following growing daily. Suppliers in the high-tech sector are riding the same wave: fast computers, graphics cards, big data and artificial intelligence. Almost infinite growth is expected behind these megatrends. However, valuations are already very advanced. Where are the opportunities for newcomers now?

    The world of pharmaceuticals and life sciences is characterized by precisely documented studies in clinical research. If an active ingredient makes it to approval, there is the potential for a blockbuster worth billions. Cardiol Therapeutics has an active ingredient in the second phase of clinical research for the treatment of heart disease in people under 35 years of age. This active ingredient can also restore the quality of life of 26 million people worldwide who suffer from heart failure. Bayer continues to clean up the unresolved issues left behind by the former CEO. Did the weedkiller RoundUp® from the Monsanto deal possibly lead to improper treatment due to a lack of consumer protection information? The five-figure lawsuits still pending against Roundup are dampening the share's profit prospects. The situation is currently quite different in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin is outperforming everyone, and the Coinbase share is benefiting from it. Which investment generates profits in the long term?

    The demand for critical metals is increasing rapidly worldwide. From growing digitalization to the increased use of cryptocurrencies and AI, from advances in medical technology to electromobility and defense technology - all these areas rely on these critical raw materials. Defense Metals Corporation is an experienced explorer in British Columbia whose Wicheeda project is designed to provide these critical metals. Forward-thinking companies like the crypto exchange Coinbase serve many users who use rare earth metals to power their hard drives for crypto mining. Volkswagen also requires this raw material because car consumers in China have very different needs when it comes to vehicle software than those in the European market.
