WonderFi Announces Buyback of up to 7,935,883 Shares

Published

on

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 17, 2022) – WonderFi Technologies Inc. (NEO: WNDR) (OTC PINK: WONDF) (WKN: A3C166) (FTX:WNDR) (the “Company” or “WonderFi“), a leading technology company with the mission of creating better access to digital assets through compliant centralized and decentralized platforms, is pleased to announce it has filed a Notice of Normal Course Issuer Bid (the “Share Buyback Program“) with the NEO Exchange which has been accepted for the purchase of up to 10% of the public float of its common shares (the “Shares“).

Management and the board of directors of the Company believe that the current market price of the Shares does not adequately reflect their value based on market comparables, and that the purchase of Shares under the Share Buyback Program is in the best interests of the Company. The Company believes the Share Buyback Program is a desirable use of its available cash and will enhance shareholder value in general.

Pursuant to the Share Buyback Program, WonderFi may purchase up to a maximum of 7,935,883 Shares, representing approximately 10% of its public float of Shares as at the date hereof, subject to the normal terms and limitations of such bids. In accordance with NEO Exchange rules, daily purchases (other than pursuant to a block purchase exemption) on the NEO Exchange under the Share Buyback Program cannot exceed the greater of 25% of the average daily trading volume on the NEO Exchange or 1,000 Shares.

The actual number of Shares that will be purchased under the Share Buyback Program, if any, and the timing of such purchases will be determined by the Company, from time to time. The timing and extent of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, valuation of the Shares, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations. Purchases under the Share Buyback Program may be made through open market transactions on the NEO Exchange and/or any Canadian alternative trading systems on which the Shares are traded, based on the prevailing market price. Any Shares purchased under the Share Buyback Program will be cancelled.

The Company intends to appoint Canaccord Genuity Corp. (“Canaccord“) as the broker through which the Company will conduct purchases under the Share Buyback Program, which purchases will be completed pursuant to the policies of the NEO Exchange. The Company and Canaccord intend on entering into a dealer agreement outlining the terms upon which the Share Buyback Program will be conducted. The price that the Company will pay for the Shares purchased under the Share Buyback Program, if any, will be the prevailing market price of such Shares at the time of the applicable purchases.

Pursuant to the NEO Exchange rules, the period during which the Company will be authorized to make purchases under the Share Buyback Program will commence two trading days after the date hereof, on February 22, 2022, and end the earlier of (i) February 22, 2023 or (ii) such earlier date on which the maximum number of Shares are purchased under the Share Buyback Program. The Company has not purchased any Shares during the previous year pursuant to any issuer bid. To the knowledge of the Company, no director, senior officer or other insider of the Company currently intends to sell any Shares under the Share Buyback Program

Elizabeth Warren Urges Treasury Secretary Yellen to Implement Strong AML/CFT Measures for Stablecoins

Published

on

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.

Binance Launches Megadrop: A Token Launch Platform with Airdrops and Web3 Quests

Published

binance-launches-megadrop:-a-token-launch-platform-with-airdrops-and-web3-quests

Binance has rolled out Binance Megadrop, a novel token launch platform that blends airdrops with Web3 quests. This platform enables users to engage in BNB Locked Products subscriptions and complete tasks within their Web3 Wallet to earn early rewards from chosen Web3 projects, even before their tokens hit the Binance Exchange.

The inaugural project featured on Binance Megadrop is BounceBit (BB), a BTC restaking chain. Here are the token specifics for BounceBit: Max Token Supply: 2,100,000,000 BB, Megadrop Token Rewards: 168,000,000 BB (8% of max token supply), Initial Circulating Supply: 409,500,000 BB (19.5% of max token supply).

To kickstart their journey with Binance Megadrop, users must log into their Binance account and ensure they possess an active Binance Web3 Wallet. From there, they can subscribe to BNB Locked Products and/or fulfill Web3 Quests to accumulate scores. These scores dictate the rewards received through the Megadrop program.

The scoring mechanism for Megadrop relies on the Locked BNB Score, determined by the quantity of BNB subscribed and the subscription period’s duration. Users also earn a Web3 Quest Bonus and a Web3 Quest Multiplier upon completion of designated Web3 Quests. The total score is computed by applying the Web3 Quest Multiplier to the Locked BNB Score and adding the Web3 Quest Bonus.

Importantly, only wallets created within the Binance Web3 Wallet and not external wallets will count towards Megadrop participation. Megadrop rewards will be airdropped to users’ Binance Spot Wallets.

Users must undergo identity verification and maintain at least one active Binance Web3 Wallet to qualify for Megadrop rewards. Additionally, certain jurisdiction-based eligibility criteria apply. Users from Australia, Canada, Cuba, Crimea Region, Hong Kong, Iran, Japan, New Zealand, Netherlands, North Korea, Russia, Singapore, Syria, United Kingdom, United States of America, and its territories are presently ineligible to participate in BB Megadrop.

Binance Megadrop is aimed at offering users an interactive and rewarding experience within the crypto realm. Further details regarding the Megadrop amount, Web3 Quests, and the comprehensive listing plan will be disclosed separately.
