NEW YORK and TORONTO, Aug. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The INX Digital Company, Inc. (NEO: INXD, INXATS: INX, OTCQB: INXDF) (“INX” or the “Company“), the owner of digital asset trading platforms, is pleased to announce that it intends to renew its normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB“) program to repurchase common shares of the Company (“Common Shares“). Simultaneously with the NCIB renewal, INX’s subsidiary INX Limited is announcing that it intends to renew its previously disclosed INX Token repurchase program.

Pursuant to the NCIB, which has been accepted by the Neo Exchange Inc., operating as Cboe Canada (the “NEO Exchange“), the Company may purchase up to a maximum of 12,713,823 Common Shares, representing approximately 10% of the public float of its Common Shares as of July 28, 2023, provided that the aggregate purchase price for any Common Shares acquired under the NCIB, and the aggregate purchase price for any tokens of INX Limited (“INX Tokens“) acquired under its token repurchase program during the term of the NCIB must not exceed US$5 million.

Purchases under the NCIB may be made through open market transactions on the NEO Exchange and/or any Canadian alternative trading systems on which the Common Shares are traded, based on the prevailing market price. In accordance with NEO Exchange rules, daily purchases (other than pursuant to a block purchase exception) under the NCIB cannot exceed 31,348 Common Shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume on the NEO Exchange, being 125,392 Common Shares as measured from January 26, 2023, to July 26, 2023.  Any Common Shares purchased under the NCIB will be canceled.

Under the INX Limited token repurchase program, repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, including open market purchases, all in compliance with the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of tokens, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of INX Limited. INX Tokens purchased under the INX Limited token repurchase program will be retired. The timing and actual number of INX Tokens repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, alternative investment opportunities, and applicable regulatory requirements.

Transactions under the NCIB will depend on future market conditions. The Company will retain discretion on whether to make purchases under the NCIB and to determine the timing, amount, and acceptable price of any such purchases, subject at all times to applicable NEO Exchange and other regulatory requirements. The Company believes that the purchase of Common Shares from time to time can be undertaken at prices that do not fully reflect their value. The Company believes that, in such circumstances, the repurchase of Common Shares represents an appropriate use of the Company’s available funds to support shareholder value.

The Company has appointed PI Financial Corp. as the broker through which the Company will conduct purchases under the NCIB. The purchases will be completed pursuant to the policies of the NEO Exchange.

The period during which the Company will be authorized to make purchases under the NCIB, and which INX Limited will be authorized to make purchases under the token repurchase program will commence on August 11, 2023, and end at the earliest of (i) August 10, 2024, (ii) such earlier date on which the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares are purchased under the NCIB, or (iii) such earlier date on which the aggregate purchase price for Common Shares under the NCIB and the INX Tokens under the INX Limited token purchase program for INX Tokens reaches US$5 million.

Under its prior NCIB that commenced on March 23, 2022, and expired on March 23, 2023, INX received approval from the NEO Exchange to purchase up to a maximum of 10,206,807 Common Shares. INX purchased 96,500 Common Shares under its prior NCIB through open market purchases on the NEO Exchange. No INX Tokens were repurchased by the Company under the prior token repurchase program, which was in place during the 2022 calendar year.

DTCC partners with Chainlink and JPMorgan to pilot blockchain integration for fund data

Published

on

dtcc-partners-with-chainlink-and-jpmorgan-to-pilot-blockchain-integration-for-fund-data

As headlines spotlight spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows and institutions revealing their exposure to BTC ETFs, financial service infrastructure providers are quietly integrating blockchain technology into their systems.

According to a recent report from the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), the firm conducted a pilot program named Smart NAV in collaboration with Chainlink (LINK). This initiative aimed to extend the capabilities of DTCC’s Mutual Fund Profile Service I (MFPS I), the industry standard for transmitting ‘Price and Rate’ data, also known as ‘NAV data.’

DTCC’s Mutual Fund Services business currently operates MFPS I, offering fund companies an automated solution to deliver prices and daily distribution rates to numerous clients for tens of thousands of mutual fund securities. Traditionally, DTCC collects price and rate data from funds/service providers and distributors, then aggregates and disseminates it at regular intervals through its message queue (MQ) and file-based methods.

The Smart NAV Pilot served as a digital extension of the existing MFPS I service, aiming to broaden and complement its current capabilities. DTCC recognized the growing interest in mutual fund tokenization and saw an opportunity for on-chain price and rate data to facilitate new initiatives. Taking a ‘chain-agnostic’ approach, meaning the ability to disseminate NAV data across virtually any blockchain, was crucial for enabling other use cases to build upon Smart NAV’s foundations.

Ten market participants, including major names like American Century Investments, BNY Mellon, and JP Morgan, collaborated with DTCC and Chainlink on the pilot. They evaluated the feasibility and industry value of implementing a distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based price and rate dissemination solution to unlock new benefits and support experimentation in the asset management space.

The pilot results demonstrated that delivering structured data on-chain and establishing standard roles and processes enabled foundational data to be integrated into various on-chain use cases, such as tokenized funds and bulk consumer smart contracts. This capability can fuel future industry exploration and empower numerous downstream use cases, including brokerage portfolio applications.

The simplest application of Smart NAV is to provide trusted, verifiable data on virtually any blockchain network to support its use in business workflows. During the pilot, DTCC acted as both the provider and governor of the on-chain data solution, while Chainlink’s CCIP served as the interoperability layer. The core capability explored is adaptable across a wide range of use cases, potentially enhancing operational efficiency and streamlining processes.

Based on the positive findings, DTCC sees an opportunity to expand the scope of the pilot to explore broader use cases beyond price and rate data dissemination and across more blockchains.

Is Donald Trump’s Recent Crypto-Friendly Stance Genuine Or Opportunistic? Experts Weigh In

Published

on

is-donald-trump’s-recent-crypto-friendly-stance-genuine-or-opportunistic?-experts-weigh-in

Presidential candidate Donald Trump recently made a surprising endorsement of crypto, suggesting that he would ease hostility towards cryptocurrencies in the US if re-elected.

Trump stated, “If we’re going to embrace it, we have to let them be,” and urged crypto supporters to vote for him. This marks a significant shift from his previous criticisms of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in 2019, where he labeled them as “not money” due to their volatility and lack of intrinsic value, expressing concerns about their potential use in illegal activities like drug trafficking.

Crypto’s Impact on Voter Preferences
With approximately 20% of American adults reportedly holding crypto, candidates are taking notice. Markus Levin of XYO Network sees embracing crypto and implementing solid regulation as a strategic move in elections and sound policy overall. He believes Trump’s apparent positive stance towards the industry will sway some voters in his favor.

Jonathan Thomas of Blueberry suggests that Trump’s crypto-friendly rhetoric may attract voters who prioritize crypto as a single-issue matter.

Skepticism Surrounding Trump’s Crypto Support
However, not everyone is convinced by Trump’s newfound endorsement of crypto. NFT enthusiast Thorne Melcher views it as “flimsy” and warns against the potential for conservative politics to restrict crypto due to its use in areas such as trans hormone replacement therapy and abortions.

While some may see Trump’s support for crypto as a reason to vote for him, others like Stephanie Vaughan of Veda caution against assuming substantial benefits from this endorsement alone. Vaughan highlights the Biden Administration’s hardline stance on crypto regulation by enforcement, which she believes is unworkable and could push voters towards Trump.

Trump’s Strategy to Attract Crypto Voters
Trump’s pivot from crypto skeptic to NFT enthusiast reflects a strategic move to appeal to voters interested in crypto. Vaughan suggests that many crypto-focused voters may have supported Biden in the last election, but Trump is actively courting them by recognizing the industry’s significance.

By acknowledging crypto’s growing influence on voters, Trump aims to draw support away from Biden, positioning himself as the candidate more aligned with the interests of the crypto community.
