iMining Technologies Inc. Enters the MetaVerse and Becomes a Publicly Listed Web3.0 Company

Published

on

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 15, 2021) – iMining Technologies Inc. (TSXV: IMIN) (the “Company” or “iMining“) is pleased to announce that it has become a publicly traded Web3.0 company, involved in virtual currency mining, digital asset staking and trading. In addition to its current operations, iMining has entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with 1850142 Ontario Inc. (the “Seller”), for iMining to acquire the Seller’s assets which include digital land in the Decentraland Metaverse (the “Transaction”). Through this acquisition, iMining is purchasing land in the Metaverse to develop the future of work and how organizations, professionals and employees will interact and work together going forward. This transaction will also provide iMining with a collection of 16 NFT assets of Crypto Kitties and NBA Top Shots.

IMIN will acquire the Assets in consideration of CAD $300,000 payable upon receipt by IMIN of regulatory acceptance of the transaction, and the issuance and delivery of 2,500,000 common shares of IMIN (the “Shares”) at a deemed price of $0.12 per share. The Shares will be subject to a four-month hold period, after which escrow conditions will apply whereby the shares will be released as to 25% every 3 months.

With this acquisition, iMining will complete the puzzle and will have developed an infrastructure to become a Web3.0 technology company. Web3.0 is the next evolution in computing and information technology, after the transition from Web1.0 to Web2.0, as early-stage applications of this technology are already here. Web3.0 will bring together the convergence of Augmented and Virtual Reality technology, IOT devices, distributed ledger technology (blockchain), Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning.

Web3.0 is a decentralized method of accessing the information on the Internet and it is built using the blockchain technology. Currently, large corporations and entities hold the data and information which is provided by individuals. However, in the new age of Web3.0, it is believed that the information and data will be held on the blockchain and individuals will control their own data. This way the benefits will be shared with the entire community rather than just the owners of the technology.

“We are on the cusp of major technological transformation and some people are oblivious to it entirely. The advent of new technology or the evolution of existing technologies, which changes how people interact with no clear future impact, is intimidating initially. However, we at iMining are working with our strategic partners to provide our investors and clients with an end-to-end solution so they can easily participate in the growth of Web3.0 and benefit from it,” said Khurram Shroff, President and CEO of the Company. “Web3.0 will entirely change how people interact with technology and with each other. This is an exciting time and I remain confident that iMining is positioned as thought leaders to assist this entire industry grow. iMining has established itself to provide public market investors exposure to Web3.0, the next evolution of Internet.”

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:

  1. FT Analysis: Crypto Regulation and Institutional Adoption
  2. Signing Day Sports Seals Deal with Blockchain Digital Infrastructure
  3. Vaulta & Fosun Partner to Power Hong Kong’s Blockchain Backbone
  4. Transforming Online Gaming: Blockchain’s Next Frontier
  5. 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.


Central Themes

Today’s dispatch reveals five core themes:

  1. Regulatory Engagement: From FT’s analysis to Hong Kong’s VASP regime, clear rules underpin institutional and retail growth.
  2. Infrastructure Control: Signing Day Sports’ acquisition and Vaulta’s Fosun partnership demonstrate the premium on reliable blockchain rails.
