The April 21, 2021 news release incorrectly referred to a term sheet (the “Term Sheet“) entered into between the Company and the potential investor as being binding.

Each Unit is comprised of one common share (a “Share“) and one transferable, share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“), and each Warrant is exercisable into a common share (a “Warrant Share“) at a price of $1.22 per Warrant Share at any time up to the close of business on the third anniversary of the closing (the “Closing“) of the Offering.
The Debentures have the following rights attached:
Term: four (4) years (the “Maturity“) from the date of issuance of the Debentures, subject to an option on the part of the purchaser to extend the Maturity to five (5) years from the date of issuance of the Debentures.
Interest Rate: The Debentures shall bear a simple interest of one percent (1%) per annum, accruing monthly, and shall be paid in cash to the holder of the Debentures every three months thereafter until the Debentures are repaid in full or are converted in accordance with their terms.
Security: The Debentures shall be secured against the Company’s present and after acquired property located at the Company’s Facility in Birtle, Manitoba, Canada. The security does not include any real property at the Birtle Site.
Conversion: The Debentureholder may, at any time and from time to time up to the earlier of (a) the time that the Debentures are repaid in full, and (b) five (5) years from the date of issuance of the Debentures, elect to convert (the “Conversion“) some or all of the outstanding Debentures into common shares (the “Conversion Shares“) at a price of $0.85 per Conversion Share. For the avoidance of doubt, Conversion of any Debentures shall be cashless and not require further payment from the holder of the Debentures.

Welcome to Blocks & Headlines, your definitive daily briefing on the latest blockchain breakthroughs, cryptocurrency developments, and Web3 innovations. In today’s edition—May 29, 2025—we explore five pivotal stories shaping the decentralized economy:
- FT Analysis: Crypto Regulation and Institutional Adoption
- Signing Day Sports Seals Deal with Blockchain Digital Infrastructure
- Vaulta & Fosun Partner to Power Hong Kong’s Blockchain Backbone
- Transforming Online Gaming: Blockchain’s Next Frontier
- Credit Unions Embrace Blockchain for Trustworthy Financial Services
This op-ed–style roundup delivers concise yet insightful coverage, critical analysis, and expert opinion on each development’s relevance within the broader blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem.
1. FT Analysis: Crypto Regulation and Institutional Adoption
Overview. The Financial Times reports on evolving global regulatory landscapes and their impact on institutional cryptocurrency adoption. FT highlights how major funds and asset managers navigate compliance frameworks in the US, EU, and Asia to integrate digital assets into traditional portfolios.
Source: Financial Times
Detailed Analysis. As regulators across jurisdictions craft tailored guidelines—from MiCA in Europe to the SEC’s evolving crypto classifications in the US—institutions face a balancing act between innovation and compliance:
- MiCA’s Market Integrity Measures: New EU rules mandate clear disclosures for stablecoin issuers and exchange operators, raising the bar for consumer protection.
- SEC’s Custody Interpretations: Emerging guidance on digital asset custody models, including qualified custodians versus self-custody frameworks.
- Asia’s Sandbox Approaches: Hong Kong and Singapore expand sandbox programs, offering controlled environments for DeFi and tokenization trials.
Opinion. Regulatory clarity is the linchpin for institutional inflows. While stringent frameworks may seem burdensome, they ultimately foster market confidence and prevent systemic risks. Asset managers should proactively engage with policymakers, leveraging sandbox insights to shape pragmatic, innovation-friendly regulations.
2. Signing Day Sports Seals Deal with Blockchain Digital Infrastructure
Overview. According to TradingView’s Reuters feed, Signing Day Sports has executed a definitive agreement to acquire Blockchain Digital Infrastructure, a profitable data-hosting specialist serving DeFi and NFT platforms.

Detailed Analysis. The acquisition underscores the rising value of specialized blockchain infrastructure:
- Scalable Data Nodes: Blockchain Digital Infrastructure operates 150+ high-throughput nodes, ensuring low-latency data delivery for real-time sports NFT drops.
- Profitability Metrics: The company reported $32 million in EBITDA last fiscal year, highlighting sustainable revenue in a niche market.
- Strategic Synergies: Signing Day Sports plans to integrate hosted nodes into its upcoming sports collectibles marketplace, guaranteeing seamless token minting during high-traffic events.
Opinion. In Web3, infrastructure is the invisible backbone. For NFT marketplaces and DeFi protocols, node reliability and data throughput directly impact user experience—and ultimately, revenue. This move positions Signing Day Sports to compete at scale, setting a precedent for vertical integration in blockchain hosting.
3. Vaulta & Fosun Partner to Power Hong Kong’s Blockchain Backbone
Overview. Coindesk reports that Vaulta, a leading digital asset platform, is teaming up with Fosun International to develop blockchain infrastructure for Hong Kong’s emerging crypto hub.

Detailed Analysis. The collaboration aims to build secure, high-performance rails for trading, custody, and tokenization:
- Layer-1 Interoperability: Joint development of a cross-chain protocol connecting Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and local DLT frameworks.
- Institutional Custody Solutions: Licensed trust entities under Fosun’s umbrella will offer insured cold-storage services for professional investors.
- Regulatory Cooperation: Partnership includes a liaison with the Hong Kong SFC to ensure compliance with the new Virtual Assets Service Provider (VASP) regime.
Opinion. Asia remains a hotbed for blockchain innovation, but regulatory fragmentation poses hurdles. Vaulta’s alliance with Fosun exemplifies public-private synergy—combining local market expertise, financial strength, and technical know-how to anchor the city’s digital asset ambitions.
4. Transforming Online Gaming: Blockchain’s Next Frontier
Overview. TronWeekly examines how blockchain technologies—especially NFTs and decentralized marketplaces—are redefining online gaming economies.

Detailed Analysis. Key trends driving gaming’s blockchain revolution:
- Play-to-Earn Economies: Games like Axie Infinity and emergent titles use tokenized rewards and NFT-based assets to create real-world value for players.
- Decentralized Marketplaces: Platforms such as Enjin and Immutable X offer gas-free trading environments for in-game items, enhancing liquidity.
- Cross-Game Asset Portability: Standards like ERC-1155 enable items to move seamlessly between compatible titles, fostering interoperability.
Opinion. Gaming is blockchain’s killer app. Beyond speculative hype, tokenization can democratize game economies, allowing genuine ownership and secondary markets. Developers must, however, tackle scalability and user onboarding frictions—layer-2 solutions and intuitive wallets are essential for mass adoption.
5. Credit Unions Embrace Blockchain for Trustworthy Financial Services
Overview. AP’s business coverage highlights several US credit unions piloting blockchain-based platforms to enhance transaction transparency, reduce settlement times, and cut cross-border remittance fees.

Detailed Analysis. Examples of credit union blockchain pilots:
- Consortium-Led DLT: A consortium of midwestern credit unions uses a permissioned Hyperledger Fabric network to settle inter-credit-union payments in near real-time.
- Remittance Solutions: Deployment of Stellar-based rails reduces remittance costs by up to 60%, benefiting diaspora communities.
- Member Identity Management: Verifiable credential systems streamline KYC processes, reducing onboarding time from days to hours.
Opinion. As community-focused institutions, credit unions can leverage blockchain to reassert their value proposition—offering cost-effective, transparent services that rival large banks and fintechs. Success will hinge on member education and seamless integration with legacy core banking systems.
