Skychain Announces Update of Quebec Facility Acquisition
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 21, 2021) – Skychain Technologies Inc. (TSXV: SCT) (OTCQB: SKTCF) (“Skychain”) announces termination of agreement to the Quebec facility purchase.
In February, 2018, Skychain entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease“) with 1151203 B.C. Ltd. (“115“) pursuant to which Skychain agreed to lease a 20Mw cryptomining hosting facility (the “Facility“) located in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Skychain provides cryptomining hosting services for clients at the Facility. The Lease remains in good standing and runs for a term of five years and two months until April 2023.
Skychain announced on August 27, 2020 (also see updates on January 6, 2021 and February 22, 2021), that it had entered into an agreement (the “Agreement“) with Songhua Zhang (the “Vendor“) and 115 pursuant whereby Skychain would purchase (the “Acquisition“) a 100% interest in 115. The Vendor holds 100% of the outstanding common shares of 115.
The Acquisition was subject to several conditions including the execution of a definitive agreement, and receipt of all approvals (the “Exchange Approvals“) from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange“) for the Acquisition. One condition in the Agreement was that all Exchange Approvals had to be received within sixty (60) days of entering into the Agreement. Skychain has applied to the Exchange for approval for the Acquisition. However, since the Exchange Approvals have not been received within the stipulated time, the Vendor has now notified Skychain that the Agreement is no longer of effect.
Despite termination of the Agreement, Skychain continues to lease the Facility and conduct its hosting business at the Sherbrooke Facility. Skychain is currently working to secure a new agreement with the Vendor to acquire 115.
Skychain continues to focus on the development of its 12 MW crypto hosting site in Birtle, Manitoba, subject to closing a $4,000,000 total financing consisting of an equity unit offering and a convertible debenture financing announced on May 14, 2021. The Edge Cloud Gaming project announced March 6 and 25, 2021 is proceeding with the Proof of Concept work. The application of edge computing to the rendering needs of the animation industry is being developed following Skychain’s successful ongoing rendering service for the past eight months to a prominent animation firm.

Elizabeth Warren Urges Treasury Secretary Yellen to Implement Strong AML/CFT Measures for Stablecoins
In a recent communication directed to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, US Senator Elizabeth Warren has strongly advocated for the incorporation of robust Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) measures specifically tailored for stablecoins. Senator Warren’s correspondence underscores the critical importance of adopting the full array of AML tools outlined by the Treasury Department in a prior November 2023 communication to Congress.
Senator Warren has underscored the burgeoning threat posed by cryptocurrencies, particularly stablecoins, to national security. She has specifically drawn attention to instances where entities like Iran and Hamas have turned to cryptocurrencies as a means to raise funds and support terrorist activities. To effectively address this evolving threat landscape, Senator Warren asserts that any forthcoming crypto legislation must encompass comprehensive AML/CFT authorities as requested by the Treasury Department.
Moreover, Senator Warren has made reference to the testimony provided by Deputy Secretary Adewale O. ‘Wally’ Adeyemo before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. In this testimony, Adeyemo emphasized the critical need for additional AML authorities to combat the growing menace posed by cryptocurrencies. Senator Warren has pointed out that the exclusion of crucial actors within the digital asset ecosystem, such as miners and validators, from AML/CFT requirements could potentially enable nefarious actors to exploit the increased crypto trading facilitated by stablecoin legislation.
Senator Warren’s steadfast stance on the regulation and oversight of cryptocurrencies is aligned with her prior efforts aimed at curbing illicit activities and safeguarding consumers, the financial system, and national security interests. She has persistently advocated for the closure of loopholes in AML regulations that allow sanctioned entities like Iran to derive revenue through crypto transactions. Furthermore, Senator Warren has consistently voiced concerns regarding the exploitation of cryptocurrencies in terrorist financing schemes and has called for the implementation of stronger regulatory frameworks to protect both consumers and national security interests within the realm of stablecoin-related legislation.
