• Avrio Worldwide has acquired the HUMBL Financial brand, products, and services
• Avrio will issue HUMBL Financial branded products and services, including the BLOCK ETXs and BLOCK Indexes, into consumer markets through digital wallets and web trading platforms
• HUMBL will acquire the equivalent of $5 million in Avrio shares – a 10% stake in the company, as well as revenue shares of 2.5%, and a seat in the company for HUMBL’s CEO

Diamond Lake Minerals (OTC: DLMI), a multi-strategy operating company that specializes in the development and support of digital assets and SEC-registered tokens, recently announced that investee Avrio Worldwide has acquired the HUMBL Financial brand, products, and services. In February 2024, Diamond Lake Minerals acquired a 24% stake in Avrio – a parent company with several businesses delivering licensed digital financial market infrastructure and services across public, private, and digital markets.

Through the acquisition, Avrio will issue HUMBL Financial branded products and services, including the BLOCK ETXs and BLOCK Indexes, into consumer markets through digital wallets and web trading platforms. They may also be issued through banking partners, credit card partners, mortgage partners, lending partners, and more.

The agreement dictates that HUMBL will acquire the equivalent of $5 million in Avrio shares – a 10% stake in the company. Additionally, HUMBL will receive revenue shares of 2.5% on all HUMBL Financial branded products and services for the lesser of five years or Avrio going public. HUMBL’s CEO Brian Foote will receive a seat with Avrio.

“Avrio’s acquisition of HUMBL Financial and its strategic partnership with HUMBL offers the Diamond Lake Minerals network of companies and projects a retail channel to distribute their tokenized assets and digital products on Avrio registered platforms,” said Diamond Lake Minerals CEO Brian J. Esposito (https://ibn.fm/VxyVE).

Diamond Lake Minerals is positioning itself as a digital asset and security token leader. The company’s primary focus is industry agnostic on developing and supporting SEC-registered security tokens. Originally founded as a mineral mining holding company, they transitioned to focus on digital assets and SEC-registered security tokens – with significant milestones in technology development, partnerships, and regulatory compliance.

The digital asset market is expected to reach $80,080 million in revenue in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.77%, resulting in a projected revenue of $112,100 million by 2028. This growth is attributed to the increased interest in decentralized finance platforms that allow individuals to participate in financial activities, like lending and borrowing, without intermediaries. Additionally, the growing interest in digital asset benefits like lower transaction costs, faster transaction times, and increased liquidity are defining factors in the market’s growth (https://ibn.fm/7KbXL).

The company’s competitive advantages include the following:

• Innovative Technology: The company employs cutting-edge techniques and technologies, ensuring efficient and secure digital asset management.
• Experienced Leadership: The Diamond Lake Minerals team is guided by industry veterans, making strategic decisions rooted in decades of expertise in traditional and digital asset spaces.
• Diverse Portfolio: While security tokens are the company’s primary focus, its interests in other digital assets position it uniquely in the market.
• Regulatory Compliance: Diamond Lake Minerals projects are designed to comply fully with SEC regulations, optimizing the company’s market positioning.

Diamond Lake Minerals believes the future of financial markets is set to be revolutionized by tokenization. Tokenization is the use of digital assets that can be traded via protocols with instantaneous settlement and reduced fees – eliminating the need or traditional clearing or settlement processes. This emerging landscape promises efficiency, transparency, liquidity, and security in asset management and investment.

Note:  The digital asset market is expected to reach $80,080 million in revenue in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.77%, resulting in a projected revenue of $112,100 million by 2028.

• Astiva Health is revolutionizing patient involvement in healthcare, particularly for the aging population
• Beyond offering healthcare services, Astiva is dedicated to creating a supportive health community
• With patients at the center, Astiva Health is transforming aging healthcare into a proactive, participatory experience

The United States is in the midst of a global demographic shift toward an aging population, with the U.S. Census Bureau projecting that by 2034, adults aged 65 and older will outnumber children under the age of 18 for the first time in U.S. history (https://ibn.fm/yGoyH). With this shift, the demand for a more holistic approach to healthcare has never been more critical. Astiva Health stands at the forefront of this transformation, championing a model of care that emphasizes proactive health management and a healthy lifestyle over traditional reactive methods.

This shift toward patient-centered care and the creation of a robust support network marks a significant departure from conventional healthcare models, aligning with the growing need to adapt to the complexities of aging in a rapidly evolving world.

At the core of Astiva Health’s innovative approach is the principle of patient-centric care. This method prioritizes the active involvement of patients in their healthcare decisions, ensuring their preferences, needs and values guide their care plans. This shift not only acknowledges patients as essential partners in their health journey but also aligns with research demonstrating the benefits of patient-centric care, including improved health outcomes, enhanced patient satisfaction, and potential cost reductions through minimized unnecessary interventions.

A critical element in Astiva Health’s strategy is the development of a supportive health community. This community — encompassing healthcare professionals, family, caregivers and peer groups — provides a comprehensive network of resources and support. Such a community-focused approach facilitates knowledge exchange and is particularly advantageous in managing chronic conditions, which are prevalent among older adults.

Astiva Health’s proactive healthcare model extends beyond basic services, offering a wide range of resources addressing the physical, mental and social facets of health. Initiatives such as fitness programs, grocery benefits, nutritional guidance, easily accessible transportation services and mental health support aim to promote a healthy lifestyle. These resources play a pivotal role in maintaining independence, enhancing the quality of life and potentially preventing severe health issues.

Technology plays a crucial role in Astiva Health’s mission to deliver patient-centric care and build a supportive health community. Innovations such as telehealth services are central to this effort, enabling remote consultations and promoting active health management. This approach fosters a more accessible, efficient and personalized healthcare experience for older adults, ensuring that patients can manage their health effectively even from a distance. Astiva Health’s strategic use of technology is designed to enhance patient engagement and autonomy, making healthcare more adaptable to the needs of the aging population.

Astiva Health is not merely addressing diseases; it’s advocating for a comprehensive, proactive approach to health that places individuals in command of their well-being. The organization’s dedication to fostering a supportive health community and providing diverse resources underscores its commitment to redefining aging healthcare. By prioritizing patient involvement and embracing technology, Astiva Health is setting a new standard for effective, fulfilling and sustainable healthcare for the aging population.

This paradigm shift in aging healthcare, championed by Astiva Health, highlights the significance of each individual’s unique journey and the collective effort required to support it. It envisions a healthcare ecosystem that transcends medical treatment to foster community, purpose and well-being among older adults. Through collaboration, innovation and unwavering commitment to patient-centric care, Astiva Health is ensuring a future where aging individuals not only live longer but also thrive in their golden years.

• Fr8Tech recently participated in the Geotab Connect 2024 event as a marketplace partner, covering insights into connected vehicles, data intelligence, artificial intelligence, and sustainability
• Last year, the company integrated its Fr8App freight-matching platform with Geotab’s open API, boosting real-time visibility and efficiency for shippers and carriers
• Fr8Tech recently secured a cross-border logistics services contract with Kawasaki Motores de Mexico, a division of manufacturing conglomerate Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.

Freight Technologies (NASDAQ: FRGT) (“Fr8Tech”), a technology company developing solutions to optimize and automate the supply chain process and freight logistics, recently participated in the prestigious Geotab Connect 2024 event as a distinguished marketplace partner. The Geotab Connect 2024 took place in Las Vegas February 14 to 16, 2024, delivering unparalleled insights into the ever-evolving landscape of connected vehicles, data intelligence, artificial intelligence, and sustainability (https://ibn.fm/jbgKE).

“We are thrilled to continue being marketplace partners with such a prominent company in the technology and logistics industry like Geotab. Fr8App has been able to significantly enhance the user experience for shippers and carriers on its platform with Geotab’s telematics, and we look forward to bringing further innovation to our customers and partners through collaboration and contribution to Geotab’s ecosystem,” commented Javier Selgas, CEO of Fr8Tech and Fr8App.

Fr8Tech last September announced that it had integrated its Fr8App freight-matching platform with Geotab’s open application programming interface (“API”) (https://ibn.fm/uUQoD). According to the company, this integration was intended not only to boost substantially real-time visibility and efficiency for carriers and shippers but also to ensure that clients enjoy added capabilities through the Fr8App platform. The integration exemplifies Fr8App’s continuous improvement and Fr8Tech’s investment in new features, which, besides being a source of pride for the company, have enabled it to secure contracts with global industry leaders to revolutionize their respective cross-border logistics operations.

Recently, Fr8Tech celebrated the execution of a cross-border logistics services contract with Kawasaki Motores de Mexico. Under the terms of the contract, Fr8Tech is mandated with directing and coordinating the cross-border logistics for Kawasaki’s iconic Jet Ski models via the Fr8App platform, showcasing the platform’s adaptability and efficiency in meeting a wide range of clients’ transportation needs and requirements (https://ibn.fm/vOuC6).

For Kawasaki Motores de Mexico, the contract represents a deliberate strategic decision to go beyond basic technology adoption. “We believe Fr8App aligns seamlessly with our core values of innovation and efficiency. Awarding this contract signifies more than just a technological advancement; it represents a strategic leap forward in how we approach our logistics operations. Together with Fr8App, we are eager to embark on a journey toward achieving unparalleled efficiency, reliability, and substantial cost reduction,” stated Daniel Ortiz, Logistic Operation Supervisor of Kawasaki Motores de Mexico.

Kawasaki Motores de Mexico is a division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., a multinational conglomerate with a rich 120-year heritage of manufacturing heavy equipment, marine vessels (liquid natural gas carriers, high-speed vessels, and other future-oriented marine technologies), motorcycles, engines, aerospace and defense equipment, and rolling stock.

“This contract with Kawasaki Motores de Mexico is a testament to our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to a wide variety of industries. We believe that by securing a contract with Kawasaki Motores de Mexico, we also gain a chair at the table for a broader set of opportunities with many of the Kawasaki companies across North America,” conveyed Selgas.

This strategy, Selgas explained, has served the company well with other conglomerates. It has enabled Fr8Tech to pursue additional opportunities with a large multinational conglomerate after forging an initial partnership; the company’s partnership with Kimberly Clark de Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. (“KCM”), a Mexican company that manufactures and commercializes branded consumer products, perfectly embodies this strategy.

In February 2022, Fr8Tech announced it had secured its first contract with KCM for the then-newly launched Fr8Fleet dedicated truck and capacity planning platform (https://ibn.fm/OdA8j). By September 2022, the partnership had expanded to include the Fr8App platform for cross-border logistics for shipments from Mexico to the U.S. (https://ibn.fm/Iwsaw). A month later, Fr8Tech announced that it had received a two-year commitment from KCM to expand its Fr8Fleet product (https://ibn.fm/Iqtg8).

Having completed numerous strategic integrations with leading tech logistics companies, GPS providers, and industry partners that have expanded the reach and breadth of its systems operating environment, Fr8Tech is looking forward to pursuing the opportunities these integrations continue to unlock. Additionally, the company remains committed to further strengthening its global connectivity to meet the ever-changing demands of the freight logistics industry.

• One in 36 children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”) – with ASD four times more common among boys than girls
• The SenseToKnow app accurately predicted eventual autism diagnoses in a group of 475 children – according to the study, performance was similar across sex, race, and ethnicity
• PaxMedica is leveraging historical data on the drug suramin to fund trials aimed at treating Autism Spectrum Disorder and Fragile X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome

According to the CDC, about 1 in 36 children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”) – with ASD four times more common among boys than girls (https://ibn.fm/06kly). Currently, there is no medical test to diagnose ASD, and families often face a delay in receiving a diagnosis. Doctors must rely on developmental history and the behavior of the child to make an ASD diagnosis. A diagnosis in girls and children with minority backgrounds often has a longer wait time due to the challenges in finding appropriate experts and the variable symptoms that accompany the disorder.

In a study published in Nature Magazine, researchers introduced a digital screening device that uses machine learning to analyze different behavioral aspects to assess the likelihood of childhood ASD. The SenseToKnow app accurately predicted eventual autism diagnoses in a group of 475 children – according to the study, performance was similar across sex, race, and ethnicity (https://ibn.fm/d4xhR).

PaxMedica (NASDAQ: PXMD), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development of novel anti-purinergic therapies (“APTs”) for the treatment of ASD and other serious conditions with intractable neurologic symptoms, is focusing its lead program on ASD, which there is no approved pharmacologic treatment targeting cause and symptoms. The current ASD treatments only address the symptoms of the condition but do not target the pathophysiology itself. PaxMedica is on a promising path to address the unmet medical needs of families with ASD – bringing hope to millions.

PaxMedica is using existing research on a drug called suramin, initially created to treat a disease called Human African Trypanosomiasis (“HAT”), to support new studies for treating Autism Spectrum Disorder and a related condition known as Fragile X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (“FXTAS”). The original developer of suramin, the German company Bayer, had used it to treat HAT. Now, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) is allowing PaxMedica to apply this old research to see if suramin can also help treat rare instances of HAT in Americans, typically caught during visits to Africa. If these trials prove that suramin is effective, PaxMedica could not only get the drug approved for use, but also receive a special coupon from the FDA called a Priority Review Voucher (“PRV”). This voucher, which can accelerate the review of a new drug, is quite valuable and could be sold to another pharmaceutical company for a significant amount of money. The company intends to channel these funds into conducting extensive trials for ASD and FXTAS treatment through its lead program, PAX-101(IV Suramin). These programs utilize a proprietary source of suramin, a century-old drug with broad therapeutic potential. Although initial FDA approval for suramin in treating sleeping sickness is anticipated within months, funding from the sale of the PRV will expedite PaxMedica’s autism application trials. The final approval for the drug’s use in treating autism may take a couple of years to materialize.

In 2024, PaxMedica is positioned to continue its momentum, sustained by achievements in 2023. The company is working to expand its product pipeline, centered on its proprietary source of suramin. PaxMedica technology is designed to help people with ASD integrate more successfully into society, enhancing their overall quality of life. PAX-101 and PAX-102’s promise extends beyond ASD, with potential applications in treating human African trypanosomiasis and other conditions characterized by intractable neurologic symptoms.

• Lexaria, a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, has, since 2016, proven its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology, asserting its superiority in improving drug bioavailability
• This has earned it 39 granted patents, with many pending globally
• DehydraTECH has a number of potential pharmaceutical applications with successful early stage results in hypertension, diabetes and weight loss and many others With its focus on GLP-1 clinical studies for 2024, Lexaria looks to carve out greater market share to make 2024 its biggest year

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, has been pushing the envelope and redefining drug delivery technology. Its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology has proven itself in numerous studies since 2016, highlighting its ability to increase bio-absorption compared to standard industry formulations while also reducing time of onset, as well as delivering drugs more effectively across the blood brain barrier (https://ibn.fm/CjpYF).

The technology’s effectiveness and uniqueness have earned it 39 granted patents, with many patents pending globally. DehydraTECH has a number of potential pharmaceutical applications, a testament to its versatility and overall effectiveness. The key factor that has played a role in its adoption is its unique ability to improve drug bioavailability, a critical marker and determinant in overall drug effectiveness.

Bioavailability can be described as the extent to which a substance or drug becomes entirely available for its intended biological destination ((https://ibn.fm/txE38). It may also be referred to as a measure of the rate and fraction of the initial drug dose that ultimately gets to the targeted part of the body (https://ibn.fm/etuHD). Usually, the higher the bioavailability, the more effective the drug, and since time immemorial, scientists have been exploring various ways to improve it.

Studies have highlighted several factors that have shown to affect drug bioavailability, particularly for orally administered drugs. These include decomposition of the medication in the lumen, hepatic fist-pass impact, surface and time accessible for retention, as well as pH and perfusion of the small digestive system.

Lexaria, through its DehydraTECH technology, enhances the performance of several categories of fat-soluble active molecules and drugs, ultimately improving their bioavailability and efficiency. This is achieved by mixing the active ingredients as a delivery “payload” with specific fatty acids, infusing the mixture into a substrate material, and then using controlled dehydration synthesis processing to associate the payload and fatty acids together at a molecular level. This is followed by integrating the newly combined molecules into end-product production across various dosage form factors (https://ibn.fm/u1eXo).

With this technology, Lexaria looks to tap into various growing markets, among them the cardiovascular drugs market and the diabetes markets, both projected to be valued at $115.8 billion and $134.1 billion by 2028 and 2030, respectively. It also hopes to make drugs more effective, possibly reducing the cost of treatment and the patients’ overall quality of life. The company is also aggressively pushing for its patent applications and approvals globally, a show of commitment to creating shareholder value. In addition to its focus on GLP-1 clinical studies for the 2024 calendar year, Lexaria is confident that it will carve out a decent market share for itself, ultimately making 2024 its biggest year yet.

TVee NOW(TM) plans to offer a wide range of on-demand content, including movies, series, concerts and original programming, at minimal or no cost to viewers. The service, set for beta launch in Q1 2024, will be accessible across various devices, with dedicated apps available on platforms such as Roku, Apple and Google Play stores, reinforcing Bravo’s commitment to innovation and audience accessibility.

The company is based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with a second office soon opening in Las Vegas, Nevada.

TVee NOW’s streaming service will offer a portion of its content for free, catering to the growing demographic of cord-cutters and aligning with the dynamic landscape of advertising-based video on demand (“AVOD”) streaming. Bravo’s Over-The-Top (“OTT”) streaming platform is specifically crafted to deliver content directly to viewers via the internet, accessible through a browser or freely downloadable apps on smartphones, tablets and smart TVs.

Bravo’s planned strategic approach for content is to first integrate partnered Free Ad-Supported TV (“FAST”) channels, programmatic advertising and a tiered revenue sharing model. Additionally, the company plans to complete the deal with Pythia Experiences, enabling a hybrid model comprised of AVOD, utilizing programmatic advertising through ad servers, and Subscription-based Video-on-Demand (“SVOD”), which the company plans to offer at competitive rates compared to other services. With this model completed, Bravo can bridge the gap until the company can ultimately create its own original content.

Through the asset purchase agreement with Streaming TVEE, Inc., the company obtained exclusive rights, image and likeness, label waivers and exploitation rights for streaming of 117 high-definition music and comedy performances, each offering a director’s cut and multiple camera perspectives. Some of the music artists include Snoop Dogg, H.E.R., Kings of Leon, Alicia Keys and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, along with comedic performances from Bill Burr, Jim Gaffigan, Kristen Schaal, Rob Delaney and others. This original footage will allow Bravo to recreate shows in diverse formats, which can showcase these concert films in a compelling full-feature format.

Market Opportunity

A report from Fortune Business Insights, a global market research and reporting firm, estimated the global video streaming market at $455.45 billion in 2022. It is projected to grow from $554.33 billion in 2023 to $1.9 trillion by 2030, achieving a CAGR of 19.3% during the forecast period.

Growth drivers, according to the report, include a rising number of users of Video-on-Demand services (YouTube, for example) worldwide and the growing adoption of OTT content providers (like Netflix and Hulu, among many others) by consumers, as well as consumers’ willingness to spend more for streaming video content.
