• The two crypto space leaders have signed an agreement that will form backbone of ISWH’s phase-one launch of cryptocurrency hosting, mining operation in Georgia
• “Bitmain is probably the most recognizable name in the mining space,” said ISWH CEO
• China’s recent crackdown on cryptomining creates added opportunity, making ISWH-Bitmain partnership even more promising

ISW Holdings (OTC: ISWH), a global brand management holdings company with commercial operations in renewable energy cryptocurrency mining, is teaming up with Bitmain Technologies, the world’s leading producer of cryptocurrency mining hardware and a leading global cryptocurrency mining firm (https://ibn.fm/pjea0). The two crypto space leaders have signed a cryptocurrency mining hosting agreement that will form the backbone of ISWH’s phase-one launch of its cryptocurrency hosting and mining operation in Georgia. “Bitmain is probably the most recognizable name in the mining space, and we are excited that they will be a major piece of our success in Georgia,” said Alonzo Pierce, ISW Holdings president and chair. “Once our 200 MW power tranche is fully utilized, we anticipate annualized revenues of over $200 million, but that will only close the first phase of our vision. We look forward to discussing our next phases in due course. If we are able to execute according to our full vision, we have the potential to drive exponential revenue growth ahead.” Irene Gao, Antminer BD director over the NCSA region, is equally optimistic about the new partnership. “We are excited to have signed this new pioneering project to begin cooperation with ISW Holdings, a new milestone for the industry for creating hosting facilities overseas. The 200 MW facility is the first phase of our long-term partnership, utilizing renewable energy as its source. We expect to further expand this project into the future to support the development of the industry.” The United States is gaining momentum in the cryptocurrency hosting space as the result of China’s recent crackdown on cryptocurrency mining (https://ibn.fm/qC7bg). A “Forbes” article reported that “mining is set to become a whole lot easier (and profitable) for North American crypto miners, thanks to the Chinese government’s aggressive crackdown on the industry. Until recently, China accounted for between 65% and 75% of all Bitcoin mining. Market dominance is expected to shift to North America, though, after an estimated 90% of China’s Bitcoin mining capacity has been ordered to shut down due to concerns over its environmental impact.” This added opportunity makes the ISWH-Bitmain partnership even more promising. “We are grateful for the opportunity to work closely with some of the best in the business,” said Pierce. “Bitmain has solidified itself as a trailblazer in the cryptocurrency mining industry, and we look forward to a bright future together in Georgia.” Bitmain Technologies is a multinational semiconductor company with state-of-the-art IC design capabilities. The company offers products, including chips, servers and cloud solutions for blockchain and artificial intelligence (“AI”) applications. According to Frost & Sullivan, Bitmain is among the world’s top 10 fabless IC designers and China’s second largest. In the blockchain mining area, Bitmain has shipped billions of ASICs, accounting for 75% of the global market. “We are grateful for the opportunity to work closely with some of the best in the business,” said Pierce. “Bitmain has solidified itself as a trailblazer in the cryptocurrency mining industry, and we look forward to a bright future together in Georgia.” ISW Holdings is a diversified portfolio company comprised of essential business lines that serve consumer product demands. The company’s expertise lies in strategic brand development and early growth facilitation, as well as brand identity through its proprietary procurement process. Together with its partners, ISWH seeks to provide a structure that meets large scalability demands and anticipated marketplace needs. The company meets those needs through a variety of strategic innovative processes. ISW Holdings is creating and managing brands across a spectrum of disruptive industries. It maneuvers its proprietary companies through critical stages of market development, which includes conceptualization, go-to-market strategies, engineering, product integration and distribution efficiency.

• Cybin subsidiary achieved certain milestones as outlined in acquisition agreement
• Adelia brought numerous advantages to company
• Acquisition may advance “Cybin’s ability to innovate our psychedelic drug development program and diversify beyond major depressive disorder,” says CEO

Cybin’s (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American CYBN) most recent acquisition, Adelia Therapeutics Inc., is already reporting success for the company (https://ibn.fm/ZtWL2). Cybin recently announced that the wholly controlled subsidiary had achieved certain milestones for the year as outlined in the acquisition agreement, resulting in Adelia shareholders receiving common shares in Cybin. Cybin closed on the acquisition of Adelia late last year, with the company noting several key advantages gained through the transaction (https://ibn.fm/KZusD). In part, the benefits include novel psychedelic molecules that diversify Cybin’s development portfolio and provide access to multiple future indications; a range of technologies related to novel therapeutics, delivery methods and therapeutic regimens, including six patent applications; an expanding library of psychedelic derivative drug-development candidates, with the first lead compounds slated to enter clinical studies this year; and seasoned leaders who bring extensive clinical and commercialization experience with major drugs, including Allegra (fexofenadine), Sabril (vigabatrin), Anzemet (dolasetron) and Vaniqa (eflornithine). In addition, Cybin strengthened its presence in the United States with ownership of Adelia’s operating development facility in the epicenter of the Boston biotechnology center. “We are thrilled to join forces with Adelia,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale. “We see this acquisition as potentially advancing Cybin’s ability to innovate our psychedelic drug development program and diversify beyond major depressive disorder. Adelia’s focuses on novel delivery methods and innovative therapies may contribute to our goal of therapies with faster onset of action, smoother pharmacokinetic profiles, shorter treatment periods, and reduced side effects. Adelia’s expertise across multiple molecules and multiple indications could potentially give Cybin the ability to address gaps across a larger domain.” At the time of the acquisition, Adelia had built an impressive reputation as an innovative biopharmaceutical company committed to addressing unmet mental health needs through developing proprietary psychedelic therapeutics with improved dosing efficacy and therapeutic indices. Adelia’s leadership team had worked with pharmaceutical companies including Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi, Roche, Pfizer and Eli Lilly; they also had impressive academic research affiliations, including with MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Yale and Northeastern University. Since the acquisition, the Cybin and Adelia teams have been focused on a three-pillar development strategy, including a novel drug discovery platform and research on the potential efficacy of psychedelic molecules to address unmet mental health needs; efficient drug delivery to enhance dosing control; and a potential novel treatment regimen. Cybin Corp., a leading biotech company focused on progressing psychedelic therapeutics, is on a mission to revolutionize mental health care. The company is focused on progressing psychedelic therapeutics by utilizing proprietary drug-discovery platforms, innovative drug-delivery systems, novel formulation approaches and treatment regimens for psychiatric disorders.

• Tryp Therapeutics recently announced new agreements with Calvert Labs and Gad Consulting Services, the second in a series of upcoming bridging studies aimed at facilitating the advancement of TRP-8803 into Phase 2b clinical trials
• Calvert Labs will design and execute the exploratory studies, while Gad Consulting Services will advise on certain aspects of the studies Calvert Labs shall perform
• TRP-8803 and TRP-8802 are psilocybin-based products being evaluated under Tryp’s PFN program
• Tryp intends to use TRP-8802 in the Phase 2a clinical trials, while TRP-8803 will be used in Phase 2b clinical trials and beyond

The San Diego-based pharmaceutical company, Tryp Therapeutics (CSE: TRYP) (OTCQB: TRYPF), has amply prepared for its Phase 2 clinical trials by leveraging high quality collaborations. For the Phase 2a studies, the company will work with the University of Michigan, the University of Florida, and Clinlogix, and to facilitate the advancement of TRP-8803 into Phase 2b clinical trials for chronic pain and eating disorders, respectfully. Tryp announced on July 7, a partnership with the University of Michigan as part of a series of upcoming bridging studies (https://ibn.fm/r71NY). A little over a month later, Tryp announced on August 10 new agreements with Calvert Labs, an Altasciences company and preclinical contact research organization (“CRO”), and Gad Consulting Services (https://ibn.fm/X59p6) that constitute the second batch of the upcoming bridging studies. As part of the agreement with Calvert Labs, the CRO will design and execute exploratory preclinical studies required for Tryp’s proprietary, psilocybin-based compound, TRP-8803, before initiating clinical studies with the novel drug product. The preclinical studies will entail generating toxicology and blood exposure level data for the flagship product. Later, Tryp will work with Altasciences to perform clinical pharmacology studies in healthy, volunteer patients with TRP-8803, thus enabling the use of TRP-8803 in the planned Phase 2b clinical trials for chronic pain and eating disorder indications. On its part, Gad Consulting Services, an internationally acclaimed toxicology consultant serving the pharmaceutical industry in the areas of preclinical and early clinical evaluation, safety assessment, and risk assessment, will advise on certain aspects of the studies Calvert Labs shall perform. “This partnership marks an important milestone for us as we continue to build momentum towards our Phase 2b clinical studies with our proprietary TRP-8803 formulation,” said Tryp Therapeutics President and Chief Science Officer Jim Gilligan, Ph.D. “Calvert Labs and Gad Consulting Services are ideally suited to perform these important studies given their international expertise in toxicology. Our work with these organizations and with Altasciences will accelerate our time into the clinic with TRP-8803.” The TRP-8803, along with TRP-8802, are the flagship psilocybin-based products for Tryp’s Psilocybin-for-Neuropsychiatric Disorders (“PFN”) program, which targets eating disorders such as binge eating disorder, hypothalamic obesity, and others, as well as chronic pain conditions, including fibromyalgia, phantom limb pain, complex regional pain syndrome, and others (https://ibn.fm/ESRgw). Tryp intends to proceed directly into a Phase 2 clinical trial by leveraging preclinical and clinical data for the active pharmaceutical ingredients in TRP-8802 and TRP-8803. It has divvied up the Phase 2 clinical trials into Phase 2a and Phase 2b. Phase 2a trials will assess the efficacy and safety of TRP-8802, which is an oral form of the psilocybin-based compound, while Phase 2b trials will involve the use of TRP-8803, a formulation with a novel method of administration. Tryp will also use TRP-8803 for Phase 3 trials. The bridging studies are expected to build momentum as the company gears towards these Phase 2b trials, in addition to helping strengthen Tryp’s intellectual property (“IP”) for the TRP-8803 drug product. Based on the July 7 announcement, more bridging studies could still be in the works. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.TrypTherapeutics.com.

• Entertainment technology innovator Friendable is pioneering a platform that boosts artists’ ability to brand and market themselves as well as fans’ ability to discover, follow and interact with artists
• Friendable’s Fan Pass platform has been approved by both the Apple App and Google Play stores, making it available now for download to mobile devices
• Friendable has signed thousands of Fan Pass artists to its platform during the past year, and is open to musicians at all levels of professional development
• As the company moves to shore up its revenue projections, it is also preparing to develop a series of NFTs for their artists, fans and digital collectors

Marketing and mobile entertainment technology innovator Friendable (OTC: FDBL) is honing its music for the masses platform, following up on an Aug. 5 announcement that its Fan Pass livestream app was approved by both Apple and Google stores with the Aug. 11 rollout of video trailers that show the company’s focus on serving music artists and their fans, existing and new. Friendable’s company mission to put its Fan Pass platform on a path to becoming “the world’s #1 fan experience app” means introducing a platform that helps musicians brand themselves creatively and get their content in front of fans, thanks in part to a dedicated team of social broadcasters deployed to supplement livestream concerts with exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes content as well as VIP experiences for fans. The Fan Pass app is now available for download on mobile devices worldwide, as well as accessible via the desktop web application, according to the company. The platform includes opportunities to have instant access to favorite artists, prompts for new artist offerings and event scheduling, merch shopping, video delivery on demand, and upgraded artist dashboard featuring tools to organize performances, ticketing and fan-to-artist tipping, among other features. “Today, we achieve a tremendous milestone as we welcome our existing artists and fans to an entirely new platform and experience and prepare to push the Fan Pass brand to the masses with our next set of marketing and awareness initiatives,” Friendable CEO Robert A. Rositano Jr. stated (https://ibn.fm/IRHrF). “Collectively, our team, artists, fans, partners and shareholders have delivered valuable insights, which have produced what we believe is a superior platform for artists at every level of their careers and for the fans who love them or are waiting to discover them.” The new trailers showcase the Fan Pass platform both from an artist standpoint as well as a fan standpoint. “Now that we have successfully released version 2.0 of our Fan Pass platform, along with updating all brand messaging and websites, our focus has turned toward our digital media assets and delivering a campaign that converts to downloads, artist registrations, merchandise sales and fan subscriptions,” Rositano added (https://ibn.fm/ZiChP). The upgraded 2.0 version of the platform’s release coincides with the anniversary of its introduction a year ago. Having met a number of milestones over the past few months, Friendable is now moving into its next phase of growth, which includes converting artists and fans into fee-based service offerings, merchandise sales and generally metrics that show how the company’s revenues are growing and what the Company believes its projections will be over the next few years. Among the company’s planned innovations are non-fungible token (“NFT”) offerings and contests geared toward the fans. NFTs are becoming a particularly popular avenue for monetizing fan interactions with artists — music artists beginning to take on a significant share of the trending enterprise. NFTs involve creating and selling digital rights as collectibles that can be traded in a potentially appreciating market. In April, Friendable announced a letter of intent with Santo Blockchain Labs and Santo Mining Corp. (OTC: SANP) to develop the musical artist-driven NFTs (https://ibn.fm/pD7uY).

• American Cannabis Partners provides organic medical-grade and recreational cannabis through sustainable and environmentally friendly growing practices
• 80% of production output supplies manufacturing, distribution, and retail licenses, 20% is distributed to select California distributors or will be sold under ZÜK brand at company retail location in Michigan
• Company leverages Link4 Corporation’s cloud-powered software and environmental control technology to develop specialized strains, maximize yields, reduce operating costs

American Cannabis Partners (“ACP”), a privately-owned large-scale organic cannabis cultivation company, is committed to business operations that provide top-quality medical-grade and recreational cannabis while positively impacting the environment with sustainable growing practices. American Cannabis Partners supplies multiple forms of raw cannabis product at consistent wholesale prices, produced across its 560,000 square feet of licensed canopy space. Eighty percent of the company’s cultivation operations supply its manufacturing, distribution, and retail licenses, while the remaining twenty percent, consisting of specialized proprietary strains, is either distributed to select California distributors or under ZÜK – its exclusive in-house brand that will be sold at its Michigan retail location. American Cannabis Partners’ organic operating model reduces the company’s environmental footprint and increases its social responsibility using locally purchased production inputs, environment-friendly products, energy and water conservation efforts, and a comprehensive waste management program.  Through this multi-pronged approach, the company endeavors to positively impact its “triple bottom line” that, according to American Cannabis Partners COO Gary Coltek, includes “the planet, people, and profits.” Not all cannabis is alike in terms of quality, effectiveness, and purity. American Cannabis Partners strives to separate itself from its competitors using production methods that emphasize soil health and sustainable farming practices while leveraging innovative technology to monitor the production process and enforce strict environmental controls. The company’s partnership with Link4 Corporation, a market-leading provider of cloud-powered software and environmental management technology, enables American Cannabis Partners to optimize greenhouse production and optimize inputs between harvests. Along with maximizing yields, the use of Link4’s technology allows the company to develop specialized strains while maximizing yields and reducing operating costs. “It is always important for growers to not only monitor their grow environments closely, but also have the ability to compare, track, and graph the data and relationships between different harvests,” said Stephen Scherer, CEO of Link4 Corporation (https://ibn.fm/gRDQn). “This is especially true when an MSO like American Cannabis Partners is working on strain development.  We are pleased to hear that through ACP’s utilization of the Link4 Cloud, they feel they have everything they need to ensure their environment is operating within ideal parameters.” Based in Trinity County of the Emerald Triangle of Northern California, American Cannabis Partners focuses on real estate, acquisition & development of proprietary assets, and ongoing cultivation operations. Led by a seasoned management team with over 30 years of cannabis industry experience, American Cannabis Partners aims to capture emerging opportunities in real estate and licensing in states that have recently passed cannabis legalization. The company’s expansion plans include additional cultivation licenses at its Trinity County location, along with land acquisition and project development strategies to expand to a third U.S. state in Q2-2022 and a fourth in 2024.

• Company’s patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology is showing the potential of reducing healthcare costs by improving oral medication administration – using capsule and pill form over injection administration
• Lexaria’s offering could potentially offer accelerated regulatory filing with the FDA and other regulators around the world
• The company sub-licenses its DehydraTECH technology for the delivery of fat-soluble active molecules and drugs while also operating four subsidiary companies

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug-delivery platforms, recently announced results from an anti-viral drug molecular characterization study performed by the National Research Council (“NRC”). Results confirmed that the drugs tested remained stable and did not undergo changes in chemical structure when processed with Lexaria’s patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology. The use of DehydraTECH could preserve the ability of this form of drug delivery to qualify for an accelerated regulatory filing with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), plus other regulators around the world. DehydraTECH provides a potential for cost savings to the health care system by delivering anti-viral drugs more effectively through oral administration. Medication delivery through pill form instead of a shot could potentially help governments or health insurance companies save billions of dollars in administration costs. Chris Bunka, CEO of DehydraTECH, says that DehydraTECH’s speed and efficacy in delivering a bigger fraction of the drug into the patient’s bloodstream are a result of the technology allowing the drug to bypass the liver and instead enter blood circulation via the lymphatic system. “One of the reasons people hate taking any drugs is side effects. It might cause diarrhea, headaches, sleepiness, but because (with DehydraTECH) we can use a smaller quantity of drug to achieve the same result, side effects go down,” Bunka further explained (https://ibn.fm/VX4Wr). Lexaria is currently focused on the applications of DehydraTECH for the administration of hypertension medication but the technology has multiple applications to improve absorption rates for substances ranging from nicotine and cannabinoids to anti-viral medication, including COVID-19 applications. After finalizing current clinical studies on hypertension, the company plans to work with antivirals to help people who need them, especially where vaccination availability is low. The company also sub-licenses the DehydraTECH technology for the delivery of fat-soluble active molecules and drugs. There are currently four subsidiary companies that Lexaria is focusing on, which include different commercial opportunities in their respective industries. These subsidiaries include Lexaria Pharma Corp., Lexaria Nicotine Corp., Lexaria Hemp Corp., and Lexaria Canpharm Corp.

• Lexaria Pharma Corp. – investigates new products for hypertension, antivirals, and other drug classes
• Lexaria Nicotine Corp. – 16.67% owned by Altria Ventures Inc. and investigates the oral, non-combusted tobacco-derived nicotine product format opportunities
• Lexaria Hemp Corp. – pursuing business-to-business opportunities with cannabinoids, including cannabidiol (“CBD”) from hemp
• Lexaria Canpharm Corp. – state-of-the-art Health Canada-licensed lab capable of developing novel psychotropic cannabinoid formulations for potential commercialization in federally legal sectors

Hill Street Beverage Company Inc. (TSX.V: BEER) is one of the companies that sub-licenses the DehydraTECH technology from Lexaria. With the company’s alcohol-free wine popularity, Hill Street Beverage is fueling other strategic priorities, including Hill Avenue Cannabis, using Lexaria’s DehydraTECH technology (https://ibn.fm/1ky4P). Craig Brinkley, Co-CEO of Hill Street, stated that “The acquisition of the global usage rights for patented DehydraTECH from the Lexaria group of companies, aimed at growing our cannabis business worldwide, has also mobilized the company to expand our geographic footprint across all of our business lines including the new global export strategy for alcohol-free beverages.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.LexariaBioscience.com.

• Commercial EV Company Ideanomics Inc. recently completed an investment agreement that will grant it a 30 percent ownership stake in Germany’s Prettl Electronics Automotive (“PEA”)
• PEA is testing an innovative high-power EV charging infrastructure solution it has developed and expects to market in 2023, strengthening Ideanomics’ efforts to fulfill its EV strategy
• The company also recently named a new executive chairman of the board and a new vice chairman of the board who will help it scale its synergistic businesses

New York-based commercial electric vehicle company Ideanomics (NASDAQ: IDEX) continues advancing its focus on the EV market as a solution to concerns about energy consumption and living standards worldwide. In June the company completed its $65 million acquisition of US Hybrid and on Aug. 2 Ideanomics announced its investment in Germany’s Prettl Electronics Automotive (“PEA”). Prettl Electronics Automotive is part of an industrial company operation that manufactures and distributes components and systems for the automotive, energy, and electronics industries. Ideanomics’ strategic investment of €7.5 million (about $9 million) grants the company a 30 percent ownership stake in Prettl and exclusive sales and distribution rights for its charging infrastructure products and solutions in North America, according to the company’s news release (https://ibn.fm/slKIm). “The opportunity to work with Prettl brings together two companies with a global perspective for what is required to bring EV Mobility solutions to global markets. The PEA team’s innovative approach, both in terms of potential to deploy high-power charging infrastructure and the dynamic load balancing of charging by energy requirements at an individual vehicle level, is among the most progressive EV charging solutions we have seen,” Ideanomics CEO Alf Poor stated in the news release. “PEA fulfills a critical component of our EV enablement strategy, and we look forward to supporting them as both an investor and as a regional partner.” In conjunction with Ideanomics’ January acquisition of Wireless Advanced Vehicle Electrification (“WAVE”), which is a U.S.-based provider of inductive (wireless) charging solutions for medium and heavy-duty EVs, the Prettl investment strengthens Ideanomics’ charging infrastructure solutions for rapid deployment with or without grid connectivity, using modular technology. The agreement also grants Ideanomics access to the expertise of automotive and power electronics industries personnel associated with PEA’s parent company the Prettl Group. The US Hybrid acquisition provides additional synergy under Ideanomics’ mission to “reduce commercial fleet greenhouse gas emissions through advanced EV technologies and forward-thinking partnerships,” building on US Hybrid’s electric powertrain components and fuel cell engines for medium and heavy-duty commercial fleet applications (https://ibn.fm/7WZtz). Recent years have seen tremendous growth in consumer willingness to pay for technology designed to reduce the harmful effects of pollutants on the earth’s climate. Internal combustion engine emissions, in particular, have raised global concerns and spawned new efforts to advance electric-driven automotive technology in the world’s marketplace for private and commercial vehicles (https://ibn.fm/f5bdK). “We recently launched the transformation of Ideanomics as we vertically enter the exciting EV and hydrogen fuel cell space. … I am thrilled for what’s yet to quickly come,” newly appointed Executive Chairman of the Board Shane McMahon, a former executive over World Wrestling Entertainment’s digital media and publishing divisions, stated (https://ibn.fm/1GVsQ). Along with the announcement of McMahon’s new position, Ideanomics announced that three-time CEO Jim Cassano will become the new vice chairman as the company continues to position itself to scale its existing synergistic businesses in the EV space.
