• Mountain Top Properties is filing to conduct a Regulation A equity offering
• The equity offering will look to raise up to $10 million in gross proceeds, which will be deployed towards the company’s real estate development efforts in the Hamptons
• The company has partnered with On Site Builder Construction, a long-standing and reputed Hamptons-based developer to construct and market turnkey residential properties
• The company will also be seeking to expand its technologically driven property management business across the Northeastern U.S. region

Mountain Top Properties (OTC: MTPP), a diversified real estate holding company focused around building, acquiring, marketing and operating assets through its wholly owned affiliates has recently announced that it has filed to conduct a Regulation A offering, which will seek to raise up to $10 million in gross proceeds, destined to be deployed in support of the company’s real estate development plans within the exclusive Hamptons real estate market. In addition, the company is planning to expand on its technologically driven property management business centered on the larger Northeastern U.S. region (https://ibn.fm/1htr9).

Through its Mountain Top Capital Fund I, Mountain Top Realty has sought to raise $75 million to build, acquire, renovate, and remarket homes in the Hamptons; thus far, the fund has already received debt capital commitments amounting to 70 percent of their anticipated real estate acquisition costs as well as a further 100 percent of the planned construction costs, a figure which the company will seek to complement with their upcoming equity raising exercise. Mountain Top Properties will subsequently look to deploy up to $10 million soon to leverage strategic waterfront or water view opportunities within the exclusive enclave offering a significant return on capital employed. In doing so, the company has partnered with On Site Builder Construction Co. Inc., as their design partner in their ambitious endeavor (https://ibn.fm/yRp8Z) which will seek to provide retail investors with access to an investment opportunity seldom available in the past.

Helmed by Joseph Kelley, On Site Builder Construction have gained a well-earnt reputation for designing and building some of the Hamptons’ highest quality over the past four decades, custom homes spanning a broad plethora of architectural styles – ranging from classic homes through to ultra-modern, glass-encased seaside mansions. Having built over 60 homes in the seaside retreat, Kelley and On-Site Builder Construction have the distinction of constructing and selling the Hampton’s most expensive properties in both, 2019 and 2022 – the latter at a remarkable $118,500,000 price point. Now and going forward, Mountain Top and On-Site Builder Construction’s partnership will seek to leverage upon Joseph Kelley and team’s reputation and technical know-how within the Hamptons real estate market to make the shift from one-off, customized homes through to the provision of finished, turnkey properties to prospective buyers.

Over the coming weeks, Mountain Top Properties will be expanding its traditional and social media marketing efforts to showcase some of the properties built by On Site, whilst simultaneously showcasing their ongoing developments on the island – all of which will be viewable on their newly developed website (www.Mountain-Top-Properties.com).

In addition to Mountain Top Properties’ real estate development efforts in Long Islands’ Hamptons region which are slated to commence in the Spring, the company expects to begin generating revenues from its property management activities in the first quarter of 2024.

Businesses nationwide are facing cybersecurity breaches that threaten the security of their customers’ personal information, often being recognized only after it’s too late. According to Mordor Intelligence, the cybersecurity market in the United States is expected to reach $79.37 billion during 2023. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.09%, reaching approximately $117.10 billion by 2028 (https://ibn.fm/NLtpQ). The report attributes this growth to the rising sophistication of cyberattacks – with the last decade seeing an escalation in the number and severity of attacks on enterprises, resulting in enormous financial and data losses.

Most recently, a vulnerability and breach was reported by Comcast, believed to have compromised sensitive information of approximately 36 million Xfinity customers (https://ibn.fm/xaSPw). The vulnerability, identified as a “CitrixBleed,” is found in Citrix networking devices, which are often used by big corporations and have been under mass exploitation by hackers since late August. Hackers used the CitrixBleed vulnerability to hack into big-name victims – including Comcast, Boeing, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and international law firm Allen & Overy. In October 2023, Citrix made available security patches to fix the vulnerability – however, some corporations did not patch in time to fight off the hacks.

• Diamond Lake Minerals is working to create a place for its tokenized industry-agnostic subsidiaries at the forefront of the growing digital asset market 
• During the past year, digital assets have once again enjoyed lofty returns reminiscent of early crypto years, but the attendant risks are driving innovation and interest in more secure tokens that represent specific off-chain assets or that mimic established stock exchange asset groups
• DLMI’s strategy recognizes that many investors are still uncertain about the digital asset frontier but may be intrigued by the possibilities of helping to lay the foundation of a potential new-built infrastructure for digital finance
• The company is building a portfolio of vertically integrated subsidiaries dedicated to traditional market regulatory compliance while creating a gateway to the digital asset sector with SEC-registered security token offering that are instilled in each subsidiary

During the past year, the digital markets experienced a new surge of “mind-blowing returns — and high risk – that historically have attracted a lot of traders to crypto” since the initial coin offering (“ICO”) boom of 2017-2018, CoinDesk reportedly recently (https://ibn.fm/FXs7o). But the crypto media outlet also noted that “in notoriously volatile digital-asset markets, there is exactly zero guarantee that any of these gains are deserved or enduring.”

Tokenized real world assets (“RWAs”) also saw significant investor appeal during the past year as part of an effort to keep the digital asset momentum going while countering some of the volatility of the crypto market by securing tokens to traditional stock market offerings.

“Once considered a novelty, the idea of connecting asset creators to sources of capital through blockchain has lost its uniqueness,” The Cryptonomist added (https://ibn.fm/dx7xc). “Initially, tokenized assets were in a regulatory gray area, but in 2023, regulatory authorities from various jurisdictions, including Singapore, the United Kingdom, Japan, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, and Luxembourg, provided guidance on tokenization.”

CoinDesk also noted that tokenized asset analysis platform RWA.xyz recently issued its forecast for 2024, predicting that even though tokenized assets are still in their infancy, assets uniquely enabled by blockchain technology “will prove to be attractive to investors seeking non-correlated and differentiated deal flow” during the coming year (https://ibn.fm/KUwAz).

Multi-strategy operating company Diamond Lake Minerals (OTC: DLMI) is focused on taking a place at the forefront of the growing tokenized securities momentum by creating a gateway for digital asset entry that appeals to skeptics and uncertain investors as they see new technology adoption create the foundation for what could eventually become an entirely new-built infrastructure for digital finance.

Diamond Lake Minerals is establishing the gateway by acquiring and creating industry-agnostic subsidiaries in a multitude of market sectors, then granting each an SEC-registered security token offering (“STO”) that will be part and parcel of the stock.

“We are solely focused on a regulated environment in digital securities and security tokens,” CEO Brian J. Esposito said during a Dec. 20 interview with financial media outlet Benzinga (https://ibn.fm/MAGlY). “As far as the wealth of the world that’s sitting on the sidelines that don’t understand things like crypto, they don’t understand the digital assets, they don’t understand NFTs — a lot of friction points: they don’t believe it’s real; they’re intimidated by downloading a digital wallet; putting in personal information. So what we’re doing is that hybrid approach.”

Regulated SEC security token exchange INX has partnered with Diamond Lake to provide the tokenized access. The INX Token was the first SEC-registered security token to land as an IPO on the blockchain, and its reliance on the checks and balances of traditional economic trading has granted it experience needed to help DLMI maintain the stability of its offerings.

“We’ll have media, we’ll have healthcare, … we’ll have the entertainment industry, we’ll have real estate opportunities,” Esposito said. “And (we’ll be) doing that in the correct fashion.”

• SuperCom, a leading global provider of traditional and digital identity solutions, is proactively advancing its offender electronic monitoring (“EM”) solutions and services in response to growing societal challenges
• Since 1988, the company has refined its EM line, implementing RFID and GPS tracking technologies and offering both large and small-scale government solutions
• These solutions have been adopted by various government agencies in different countries, and have proven especially valuable in addressing the challenge of monitoring domestic violence offenders

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a leading global provider of traditional and digital identity solutions, offering advanced safety, identification, and security products and solutions to governments, is on a proactive push for its offender electronic monitoring solutions and services. This is in response to the growing and changing needs of government agencies and private sector operators as a result of emerging societal challenges.

England, for instance, recently called for all General Practitioners (“GPs”) to transfer patients’ medical records to the National Health Service (“NHS”) app and other online portals. The growing concern is that these new procedures could “put domestic abuse victims in England at risk by allowing perpetrators to access their medical records” (https://ibn.fm/HJItB). Campaigners warn that “abusers could wield medical records to ramp up abuse as perpetrators routinely ‘weaponise’ information against their victims”.

Unanticipated changes such as this can clearly aggravate domestic disputes, increasing the potential for physical confrontation by previously convicted offenders. SuperCom offers government agencies a way to protect the victims of domestic abuse without the necessity of prolonged and expensive incarceration, through a tried and tested way of keeping offenders away from their victims with advanced electronic monitoring.

Since 1988, SuperCom has refined its offerings, yielding several offender monitoring solutions under its PureSecurity(TM) line, such as PureTrack(TM), PureCom(TM), PureTag(TM), PureProtect(TM), and PureBeacon(TM). These are in addition to its PureMonitor(TM) cloud-based software platform designed to deliver the information needed, when and where it is needed. Various governments worldwide have adopted these tried and tested solutions, affirming their overall effectiveness and efficiency (https://ibn.fm/08bKV).

Going into the new year, SuperCom, having already positioned itself as a leader in its space, is optimistic that governments worldwide will continue to acknowledge and adopt the benefits of electronic monitoring solutions. “At SuperCom, we are dedicated to not only achieving excellent outcomes but also building enduring relationships with governments across the globe,” noted Ordan Trabelsi, President and CEO of SuperCom (https://ibn.fm/qp07v).

• Pest management professionals nationwide are reporting a continuing climb in rodent responses, with 70 percent increase in northeastern states complaint calls during 2023
• Arizona-based SenesTech Inc. is reporting success in delivering a non-lethal rodent control alternative to poisons that adversely affect non-target animals and people
• SenesTech has already gained attention among consumers with its liquid formulation  birth control product that is more humane and effective for reducing rat populations
• Most importantly, the company recently introduced its Evolve(TM) Soft Bait non-liquid fertility product for the vast professional market that demands non-liquid products, and SenesTech is doubling its production as a result of this rapidly growing professional demand

Rodent pest management enterprise SenesTech (NASDAQ: SNES) is doubling the weekly production of its novel new solution for reducing rat populations with plans to soon double it again in order to keep pace with burgeoning demand, the Phoenix-based company announced in a news release this month.

SenesTech’s Evolve(TM) Soft Bait has seen “substantial initial orders” since its launch in November as a soft bait non-liquid alternative to its popular ContraPest(R) liquid formulation, both of which provide a decrease in the pest population by inducing birth control in rats instead of using poisonous agents that may be a danger to people or animals.

“Since offering my clients ContraPest, it has given them a sense of relief to a never-ending problem … too many rats,” New Hampshire-based pest management professional (“PMP”) Wendy Berry states in the news release (https://ibn.fm/PPfyP). “Clients have seen huge differences before and after the introduction of ContraPest. They also see how reducing the reproduction rate is a key component to success. With the effectiveness now well known, we have received contracts with a college, municipalities and other downtown areas. Adding Evolve will better meet the needs of my customers.”

The company reports that legislators and other officials in New England are searching for alternatives to traditional poisons known as second-generation anticoagulants (“SGARs”) in the region.

“In Massachusetts, joint bills (H.825 and S.487), which ban the use of SGARs from publicly owned properties such as elementary schools, have continued addressing secondary poisoning problems plaguing the region,” the news release adds — a response to news that three eagles have died of poisoning as the secondary result of SGAR use.

Pest Management Technology’s 2023 “State of the Rodent Control Market” reports that rodent activity continued to climb in 2023, with 60 percent of PMPs reporting increases in rodent infestations over the past year and another 38 percent stating infestations held steady.

“Rats and mice are truly on a tear in the Northeast, where 70 percent of PMPs reported increasing numbers,” the industry publication states (https://ibn.fm/PJZga), citing one PMP who has seen rodent-related service calls increase to year-round levels compared to a decade ago and spread to the suburbs over the past five or six years.

The publication also reported 65 percent of PMPs in western states reported rising rodent infestations, indicating the need for better rodent control exist nationwide and not only in one sector of the country. 

SenesTech’s Evolve(TM) Soft Bait has gained attention as the first and only soft bait product featuring technology that targets rodent populations by using non-lethal methods to restrict fertility, filling a growing consumer need with a novel approach.

“The reaction to the launch of Evolve has been enthusiastic and immediate. Within days of launch, we received pallet-sized orders for Evolve from a number of distributors,” SenesTech president and CEO Joel Fruendt stated. “Many of the initial orders are from customers with prior, successful experience with ContraPest(R), our first fertility control product, but who wanted a soft bait product. Evolve has similar efficacy to ContraPest, in a format that is easier to deploy, and at a price point comparable to alternatives such as poisons.”

ContraPest(R) and Evolve(TM) are the first, and still the only, rat contraceptives for restricting fertility in both male and female rats, according to the company.

• MTPP engages in traditional property management, real estate development, and investments in AI and blockchain-enabled PropTech businesses
• MTPP invested in HQXpress, a blockchain-enabled industrial and warehouse flex space company that services the warehousing, reverse logistics, and liquidation markets
• Future plans include the addition of AI-powered technologies to automate and streamline purchasing, sales, and other real estate services
• Other investments include the acquisition, renovation, and repositioning of waterfront and water-view properties in the Hamptons, New York

Mountain Top Properties (OTC: MTPP) is a diversified real estate holding company that builds, acquires, sells, and operates assets through wholly owned subsidiaries and limited partnerships. The company specializes in property management, real estate redevelopment, and property technology, or PropTech.

PropTech is a rapidly growing field within real estate that leverages various technologies to optimize how people buy, sell, rent, manage, and research real estate investments. Companies leveraging PropTech aim to improve the property investment experience through applications that integrate artificial intelligence (“AI”), data analytics, and blockchain technology.

AI-enhanced applications used in real estate quickly analyze massive sets of data to generate aindividualized property listings based on client preferences and previous activity. Generative AI, a subset of the technology, uses algorithms to identify patterns and make connections that enable user agents – or chatbots – to respond to customer inquiries at any time, from any connected location.

Blockchain technology also transforms the real estate investment experience by increasing transparency, security, and efficiency across various property-related activities. Through a decentralized digital ledger, blockchain technology records transactions across a computer network to create a continuous, secure, and tamper-resistant chain. This enables property tokenization – a process that breaks up an asset into digital tokens representing the underlying property with all its rights and obligations. Smart contracts enabled by the technology can automate transactions, streamline property sales and lease agreements, and reduce the need for intermediaries.

Mountain Top Properties is leveraging the digital transformation of real estate by investing in HQXpress – a blockchain-enabled industrial and warehouse flex space company that services the warehousing, reverse logistics, and liquidation markets. The company also plans to add AI-powered technologies to automate and streamline purchasing, sales, and other real estate services.

Along with PropTech investments, MTPP diversifies its portfolio with additional activities that include traditional property management and real estate development. The company’s flagship subsidiary, Mountain Top Realty Inc., manages Mountain Top Capital Fund I LLC – a real estate fund focusing on residential redevelopment in the Hamptons, New York. The fund aims to raise $75 million for the acquisition, renovation, and repositioning of waterfront and water-view properties in the area.

The fund has already secured 70% of acquisition costs and 100% of construction expenses for the venture, with an additional $10 million to explore strategic waterfront opportunities in the region. Minimum returns of 20-30% are expected for each investment and will be realized upon the project’s sale.

Incorporated in 1990, Mountain Top Properties is based in Liverpool, New York, with offices in Sag Harbor, New York. The company focuses on traditional real estate activities while embracing digital innovation through investments in blockchain, AI, and other PropTech applications. With a diversified portfolio spanning property management, real estate development, and advanced technology applications, MTPP is positioned for steady growth on the ever-evolving real estate business landscape.

• Spain has emerged as a leader within the household solar energy market, with installed household capacity of 5.2 gigawatts as of 2022
• Turbo Energy, a Valencia, Spain-based designer, developer, and manufacturer of photovoltaic energy equipment has emerged as a key player within the residential solar market in Spain
• The company recent revealed that its GoSolar household solar energy system would be marketed by the energy division of Movistar, Spain’s largest telecommunications firm
• In addition to its presence within the residential market, Turbo Energy has announced ambitions to move into the commercial and industrial solar market going forward

Spain has long been a pioneer within the realm of renewable energy technologies. The country has adopted a twin goal of achieving net zero carbon neutrality by 2050, at which point the nation also anticipates meeting 100 percent of its energy requirements from renewable energy sources. Solar capacity in particular has been at the forefront of the movement; Spain has seen its installed solar capacity more than quadruple over the past five years, ranking as the fifth country worldwide in 2022 in terms of new solar capacity additions. The momentum is expected to continue unabated; the Spanish government had laid out plans to award at least 1.8 gigawatts of solar photovoltaic energy per year until 2026 – an annual increase equivalent to powering nearly 1.6 million homes (https://ibn.fm/7R0ZG).

The momentum has been similarly robust in the Spanish solar household consumption market. The installed capacity of household solar energy systems increased by 2.5 gigawatts in 2022, twice the amount registered in the previous year, taking the aggregate household PV capacity in the country to over 5.2 gigawatts (https://ibn.fm/R1Ugj). Turbo Energy (NASDAQ: TURB), a designer, developer and manufacturer of photovoltaic energy generation, management, and storage equipment has emerged as a key player within the burgeoning market for household solar energy systems in both, Spain and the broader European region.

Turbo Energy recently announced that it had begun marketing its revolutionary ‘GoSolar’ household solar energy system in partnership with Solar360, the energy division of Movistar – Latin America’s largest telecommunication company and one of the world’s 500 most valuable companies (https://ibn.fm/sSFjV). Comprised of a small microinverter and lightweight, flexible PV panels which can be plugged into a conventional household outlet, Turbo Energy’s GoSolar system allows Spanish households the ability to capture solar energy power within their homes without the need to apply for special permits or recruit professional installation support.

In addition, Turbo Energy’s GoSolar solution comes with a mobile application, allowing end-users to monitor their system’s energy generation. Moreover, it provides customers with an interface to monitor the ensuing reduction in their home electricity costs whilst simultaneously minimizing their carbon footprint.

“It is very gratifying for us to see that Movistar, a leading home-services brand, is committed to Turbo Energy,” said Mariano Soria, General Manager of Turbo Energy. “It encourages us to continue researching and developing products that contribute to the sustainable reduction of energy costs for thousands of homes and businesses.”

In addition to its recent successes in marketing its photovoltaic energy equipment to residential consumers in Spain, Turbo Energy possess the expertise and perspective to expand its product offering into the industrial and commercial side of the market – whilst simultaneously increasing its exposure to global markets. Going forward, the company has revealed plans to expand its presence within the industrial photovoltaic sector with its SunBox energy solution, an all-in-one device integrating the equipment needed for a photovoltaic installation whilst also boasting higher power and capacity limits relative to their household variants.

• Clene Inc., a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing solutions that improve mitochondrial health and protect neuronal function to treat neurodegenerative diseases, recently announced the publication of a peer-reviewed article
• The article describes results from two Phase 2a clinical trials, REPAIR-PD and REPAIR-MS, which evaluated the effects of CNM-Au8, the company’s lead drug candidate, on brain energy metabolite levels in participants with Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis, respectively
• Researchers measured key brain metabolites, such as NADH and NAD+, which are involved in neuronal energy production, utilization, and maintenance, for changes from baseline with daily, oral treatment of CNM-Au8 over 12 weeks
• Results from the studies showed that treatment with CNM-Au8 increased the brain NAD+/NADH ratio by a statistically significant (p < 0.05) 10.4%

Energy metabolism involves the conversion of the potential energy contained in food-borne fuels, including some amino acids, glucose, lactate, fatty acids, and ethanol, among others, into chemical energy. Usually, this chemical energy exists in the form of adenosine triphosphate (“ATP”), the universal energy-containing molecule that powers most cellular functions, including brain function.

ATP is produced through oxidative phosphorylation (“OXPHOS”) or glycolysis. The former, however, requires mitochondria and yields considerably more ATP than the latter (https://ibn.fm/9pQ6P). Unfortunately, oxidative phosphorylation can sometimes become impaired, affecting skeletal muscle, cardiac, and nervous tissues normally characterized by high energy metabolism. Causes of the impairments to oxidative phosphorylation vary from genetic defects and advanced age to human diseases.

Advanced age, for example, which is a known risk factor for most neurodegenerative diseases, “is associated with compromised energy metabolism, such as decreased glucose uptake and decreased mitochondrial electron transport chain activity, leading to lower ATP availability in the brain,” explains a 2023 peer-revied article published in the Journal of Nanobiotechnology. “These metabolic impairments are compounded in neurodegenerative disease… In neurodegenerative disease, a vicious cycle occurs in which energetic deficits exacerbate oxidative, proteostatic, and neuroinflammatory stressors, which in turn lead to further energetic impairment and neurodegeneration.”

The peer-reviewed article, entitled, “Evidence of Brain Target Engagement in Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis by the Investigational Nanomedicine, CNM-Au8, in the REPAIR Phase 2 Clinical Trials,” was co-authored by physician scientists from the University of Texas Southwestern (“UTSW”) Medical Center and Clene. It describes results from two Phase 2a clinical trials, REPAIR-PD and REPAIR-MS, which evaluated the effects of CNM-Au8, the lead drug candidate developed by Clene (NASDAQ: CLNN) and its wholly owned subsidiary Clene Nanomedicine Inc, on brain energy metabolite levels in participants with diagnoses of idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease (“PD”) or relapsing Multiple Sclerosis, respectively, according to a December 14 article announcing its publication (https://ibn.fm/r5hxW).

CNM-Au8 is a suspension of faceted, clean-surfaced gold nanocrystals that have neuroprotective and neuroreparative properties thanks to their ability to catalytically improve energetic metabolism in central nervous system (“CNS”) cells. In vitro studies have shown that the surfaces of the CNM-Au8 nanocrystals catalyze the rapid oxidation of NADH to NAD+, increasing the intracellular availability of both NAD+ and ATP. (NAD+ supports the synthesis of ATP.)

The REPAIR-PD and REPAIR-MS Phase 2 trials, therefore, expand the documented evidence of CNM-Au8’s positive effects. In conducting the studies, researchers measured key brain metabolites, such as NADH and NAD+, which are involved in neuronal energy production, utilization, and maintenance, for changes from baseline with daily oral treatment of CNM-Au8 over 12 weeks. The studies’ primary endpoint was the change in the ratio of the brain metabolites NAD+ and NADH from baseline.

Treatment with CNM-Au8, the studies showed, resulted in a statistically significant (p < 0.05) 10.4% increase in the brain NAD+/NADH ratio. Additionally, the researchers observed statistically significant treatment effects for secondary and exploratory imaging outcomes, including favorable effects on brain ATP levels and phosphorylation potential across both cohorts. The results support the further investigation of CNM-Au8 as a potential disease-modifying drug for PD and MS in Phase 3 trials.

“We believe the 10.4% increase in brain NAD+/NADH ratio to be clinically significant. Other groups have shown significant deficits in brain energy metabolites associated with neurodegenerative disease,” Dr. Benjamin Greenberg, Head of Medical at Clene, commented. “For example, brain levels of NAD are deficient in Parkinson’s disease, and deficits in brain ATP levels correlate with the Expanded Disability Status clinical scale for multiple sclerosis. Even in healthy aging, the human brain’s NAD+/NADH decreases at a rate of loss of approximately half a percent per decade. Elevation of brain NAD+/NADH levels to many times the rate of loss observed in healthy aging is a significant and very promising effect.”

• Diamond Lake has seen its market capitalization rise to over $100 million in a few months’ time as new leadership has turned the company toward its new focus on tokenized securities

Recent indications by monetary policy makers in the United States that inflation worries are waning, coupled with expectations that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) will approve a spot bitcoin ETF shortly after New Year’s Day, are helping to drive a “perfect storm of positive tailwinds” for new digital currency adoption by investors, according to Fundstrat Global Advisors VP of Digital Asset Strategy Sean Farrell (https://ibn.fm/P81b0).

Amid the historical differences of opinion over digital tokens, multi-strategy operating company Diamond Lake Minerals (OTC: DLMI) is building confidence in its approach to acquiring and establishing numerous industry-agnostic subsidiaries. Direct investment in DLMI shares represents a link to having ownership in all divisional products, and is a convenient gateway for digital asset entry by uncertain investors who may be unwilling or unprepared to take on the challenge of navigating the complexities of the digital token market.

Diamond Lake’s interest is in tokenized securities, which are distinct from crypto digital security tokens in that they “represent either specific off-chain assets, or that mimic established asset groups such as bonds, shares or funds,” a CoinDesk article noted earlier this year (https://ibn.fm/Mwp9F). “All tokenized securities could be classified as security tokens, but not all security tokens are tokenized securities. … The difference is stark: It’s about clarity and establishment support versus the lack thereof.”

Diamond Lake CEO Brian J. Esposito explained how the company is combining traditional securities with confidence-boosting digital assets in an SEC-regulated environment to bridge the divide with doubters, during a Dec. 20 interview with financial media outlet Benzinga.

“We are solely focused on a regulated environment in digital securities and security tokens,” Esposito said (https://ibn.fm/OfRJP). “As far as the wealth of the world that’s sitting on the sidelines that don’t understand things like crypto, they don’t understand the digital assets, they don’t understand NFTs — a lot of friction points: they don’t believe it’s real; they’re intimidated by downloading a digital wallet; putting in personal information. So what we’re doing is that hybrid approach — we’re doing something that people are very familiar with, and that is buying a stock.”

Esposito said he expects skeptical investors to eventually recognize that the digital asset movement is real and that it’s advancing.

“There’s real, amazing tokenized real-world assets that are happening. … We want to be that stock that’s an authority in the space; we want to be that company that shows the world how to do it, and we want to be that company that other public companies emulate and replicate our model and what our structure is,” he said.

Since taking the reins at Diamond Lake in August, Esposito has helped shepherd the company to a capitalization of over $138 million.
