Multi-Billion Dollar Treatment Market For Lung Infection That Causes Over 200,000 Hospitalizations Annually With Elderly, Young At Most Risk Has Game-Changing New Entrant

Benzinga

By David Willey, Benzinga Read the latest report on NanoViricides here The CDC recently issued a warning that Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), a common and highly contagious lung infection that can cause bronchitis and pneumonia, is on the rise in the Southeastern United States – and the very young and the elderly are the most at risk of developing severe incidences of RSV. Every year, there are over 2 million outpatient (non-hospitalized) cases of RSV in children under 5, and RSV is the leading cause of hospitalizations for young children. There are up to 80,000 hospitalization cases for children under 5, and there are also up to 160,000 cases of patients over 65 getting hospitalized with RSV. Up to 300 children under 5 and 10,000 adults over 65 die of RSV annually. Despite this serious disease, there were no vaccines or good treatment options until recently. The recently approved vaccines from GSK plc (NYSE: GSK) and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) also have severe limitations. These vaccines are only for use in patients aged 60 and over. However, these vaccines can involve side effects, including atrial fibrillation, Guillain-Barré syndrome and another potentially related disorder. A recently approved vaccine for pregnant women to protect the newborn infant upon birth has the risk of preterm births. In July 2023, the FDA also approved Beyfortus, an antibody treatment for children delivered as an injection to help prevent the development of RSV. Beyfortus was developed by Sanofi (NASDAQ: SNY) and AstraZeneca (NASDAQ: AZN). It is expected to be better than a previously approved antibody (palivizumab, trade name Synagis, developed by MedImmune, now marketed by SOBI – Swedish Orphan Biovitrum) for the same indication. Like the vaccines, however, there are side effects associated with these protective antibody treatments, which can include anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction. Yet, there are no treatments for RSV infection except for severe hospitalized cases when children at risk of dying are given the toxic drug ribavirin at very high doses as a last resort. The market for therapeutics for RSV was worth $1.8 billion in 2022 and will reach $8.73 billion by 2031 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9% during the forecast period, according to a recent report from Growth Plus Therapeutics. Note that there were no real treatments, only one protective antibody, Synagis, available in 2022. The therapeutic used for treating RSV is Ribavirin, a highly toxic compound also used as a therapy for hepatitis C. However, Ribavirin carries with it some severe side effects, including the destruction of red blood cells, leading to liver, kidney and spleen toxicities and failures – which limit its use to patients with a high risk of progressively severe RSV. The primary concerning side effect of Ribavirin is anemia, a decrease in red blood cells that can cause a drop in hemoglobin. Ribavirin-induced anemia can manifest within two weeks of starting the therapy and can get worse as the drug dosage increases. NanoViricides Treatment For RSV NanoViricides (NYSE American: NNVC), a leading developer of antiviral treatments through its nanomedicines platform, is developing a safe and effective alternative therapeutic for RSV. Its drug candidate, NV-387, has already been shown to not have the toxicity or side effects associated with Ribavirin, according to the company. It reports that in the recent pre-clinical animal study, NV-387 almost matched the efficacy of Ribavirin with no toxicity. This animal study was designed to mimic the lethal lung pneumonia in infants caused by RSV infection. Importantly, NV-387 is already in phase 1 human clinical trials as the active ingredient in the company’s COVID drug candidate NV-CoV-2. The company has just reported that it was found to be completely safe, with no side effects found to date, in this continuing phase 1 Study. For this reason, the company anticipates soon being able to advance NV-387 to a phase 2 human clinical trial against RSV. If the results of animal studies are replicated in humans, this nanoviricides drug could become truly a game-changer in the treatment of RSV infections.

Terra Classic to Stop Minting USTC, An Ethereum Whale Invests $4M In Chainlink, Borroe.Finance Rises 50%

Blockchain Digest

Terra Classic plans to get $USTC back to its dollar peg. Now, analysts speculate on the difficulty of executing that. Elsewhere, Chainlink's recent partnerships in Australia could be behind the recent $4 million $LINK purchase. Yet, Borroe.Finance's ($ROE) approach to revenue financing is stealing the spotlight. Some analysts say $ROE's recent 50% growth could make it one of the top crypto coins. Are these projections realistic? Let's discuss. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Terra Classic ($USTC) Votes on Game-changing Proposal On September 25, 2023, Terra Classic's community voted on a proposal to push $USTC back to its $1 peg. $USTC lost its dollar peg after Terra's collapse in May 2022. The proposal will halt all minting and reminting of $USTC. The conversion of xUST to $USTC would also cease. Terra, now Terra Classic, was one of the largest stablecoin issuers until its famous collapse in May 2022. Its collapse followed $USTC’s de-pegging, which then caused Terra to lose over $60 billion. If Terra Classic's plans are successful, $USTC will gain increased adoption once it reaches $1 again. $USTC's recovery could also make Terra Classic one of the top DeFi projects again. Whale Invests $4 Million in $LINK After Chainlink's Tokenization Partnership On September 23, 2023, LookOnChain revealed that an Ethereum whale had purchased $4 million worth of $LINK tokens. The purchase mirrors Chainlink's ($LINK) rising whale activity in the past few weeks. Furthermore, it follows Chainlink's recent partnership with a major Australian bank to collaborate on a tokenization program. Chainlink also announced a partnership with Coin98 Labs to expand DeFi services in Southeast Asia. The rise in Chainlink's whale activity comes as $LINK has sharply risen despite the current bear market. $LINK was trading at $5.93 on September 1. By September 25, it had risen by 26.1% to $7.48, two days after Chainlink’s $4 million whale activity. And one week later LINK stands at $7.78 Moreover, Chainlink ($LINK) is looking to expand its services outside America and Europe. The partnership with Coin98 Labs will boost Chainlink’s ($LINK) DeFi user count in Asia. Some analysts say $LINK's rise is due to Chainlink's growing collaborations. These analysts conclude that $LINK could rise to $8.76 when the market recovers from its bearishness. Borroe.Finance ($ROE): Upgrading Invoice Finance Via Artificial Intelligence Borroe.Finance is a blockchain-based solution to the problem of inadequate funding avenues for Web 3.0 firms. Built on Polygon, Borroe.Finance is a community marketplace for the smooth disbursement of timely loans. The platform provides funding for its users by allowing them to sell off their future earnings on its marketplace. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Borroe.Finance ($ROE) uses blockchain technology to grant wider visibility to loan requests on its platform. This ensures that companies have a higher chance of getting their loan requests approved.

It has already grown by 50% from its initial price of $0.0100. By Stage 3 of its presale, $ROE would have risen by 33.3% to reach $0.0200. And it doesn’t end there. Projections highlight $0.0400 as the final price for the presale, meaning current buyers will benefit from 167% ROI. This surge far exceeds the numbers of Terra Classic and even the popular Chainlink for 2023.

Increased Volatility Could Be Looming For 2024 Election — Here’s One Way Investors Are Looking To Hedge

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga As we come up on an election year, investors and politicians alike are interested in how it will affect the economy. The stock market generally can experience increased volatility during election years due to the introduction of uncertainty. This may leave investors grappling with the potential outcomes and policy changes that may occur as a result of the election. The campaign period often fuels market fluctuations as investors and companies react to political rhetoric, policy proposals and potential shifts in government leadership. Those looking for less volatility and more stability may want to look at necessity-based commercial real estate. This asset class tends to be largely insulated from the daily swings of the market, and by extension, the volatility that traditionally occurs in election years. Unlike other types of real estate and the traditional stock market, necessity-based (properties that are essential for everyday living — including sectors such as healthcare facilities, grocery stores, multifamily housing and more) properties tend to have consistent demand. This relative stability can help mitigate the risks associated with market fluctuations — and it seems like the current administration will seek to keep interest rates relatively steady through the end of 2024, according to necessity-based real estate firm First National Realty Partners (FNRP). FNRP is a renowned necessity-based real estate firm that has established itself as the leader of the specific industry. The company was the #1 privately-held acquirer of grocery-anchored retail real estate in 2022. With a track record of success, FNRP has established itself as the go-to investment firm for those seeking to navigate the ever-changing market and achieve long-term wealth preservation. With over $2 billion in assets under management, FNRP has consistently demonstrated its ability to deliver results for investors. Their portfolio boasts an impressive 60 current assets held, showcasing their expertise in identifying and acquiring high-quality properties that align with their investment strategy. Since its inception, FNRP has distributed over $100 million to its valued investors – a testament to their commitment to generating returns. Their successful growth is evidenced by the acquisition of over 11.5 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA) across 23 states, solidifying their nationwide presence and extending their reach to diverse markets. Commercial real estate investments are known for their ability to provide stable cash flows, appreciation potential and risk mitigation through diversification across different properties and tenants — particularly for investors interested in grocery store-anchored properties. Grocery-anchored properties are known for their stability, as these types of properties typically have high occupancy rates and provide regular income from stable tenants. Grocery stores are considered to be a recession-resistant asset class, making them a potentially valuable option for investors who seek the relative stability and safety of income-generating properties. As the election year approaches, we may see the market shift and uncertainty increase. FNRP's strategy of investing in necessity-based, grocery-anchored shopping centers might be a good fit for investors trying to combat potential market volatility.

With 800,000 Customers And Over 26,000 5-Star Reviews On Trust Pilot, Splash Wines Is Reinventing D2C In The Wine Industry

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Join Splash Wines on its mission bringing wine to every door by investing in them here! While the e-commerce market has been strong for decades, COVID-19 propelled the direct-to-consumer (D2C) model to the forefront of business’s minds. Consumers have increasingly turned to online shopping for convenience and safety. Brands like BarkBox (NYSE: BARK), Blue Apron (NASDAQ: APRN), and Harry’s are all prime examples. The global subscription e-commerce market is projected to reach $904.2 billion by 2026, with an increase from $72.91 billion in 2021 to $120.04 billion in 2022. With social distancing measures still being followed around the country and consumer behaviors shifting, the ability to have products delivered regularly to the doorstep and tailored to specific preferences or interests has gained significant appeal. While D2C models have seen significant success in various industries, the wine market has been relatively slower to adopt this trend – leaving a considerable amount of untapped potential and white space. Traditionally, purchasing wine has involved visiting physical stores or relying on restaurants and bars for selection. However, by embracing direct-to-consumer models, wine producers and retailers can tap into the vast market of wine lovers who yearn for the convenience, personalization and curated experiences that D2C services and subscription boxes provide. Splash Wines is shedding new light on the luxury market by reimagining D2C in the wine industry. Founded in 2014, Splash Wines is a family business with three generations of experience in the wine industry. They have been at the forefront of the internet wine industry for the past 15 years, which has allowed them to establish themselves as a prominent player in the D2C space. By directly selling to consumers, the company is able to eliminate the need for middlemen and offer wines at competitive prices. With top TrustPilot ratings and a customer base of over 800,000, Splash Wines has been shown to prioritize customer satisfaction and loyalty. The company focuses on exceptional customer service – it does not rely on chatbots or automated messages when talking to customers. The company has also experienced notable growth over the past few years, achieving three times revenue growth in just three years. In 2022, their revenue reached $30 million, and they have set the ambitious goal to reach $50 million by 2025. What sets Splash Wines apart is its agile approach and its focus on offering wines priced below $10. By delivering affordable wines to customers, they cater to a broad consumer base and have the opportunity to diversify their product offerings further. With their expertise in digital retail capabilities, the company is well-positioned to take advantage of the growing e-commerce market. As a D2C leader, Splash Wines capitalizes on the growing trend of consumers purchasing wine directly from producers and bypassing traditional distribution channels. This approach allows them to build direct relationships with customers and create personalized experiences, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and loyalty. The company is currently holding a raise on StartEngine to continue to expand its business.

Cyberattack Explosions Are Driving Customers To Sekur, Which Saw 650% Increase In Website Traffic In 2 Weeks And 100% Rise In VPN Sales Month-Over-Month

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Cyberattacks are on the rise, with cyberattacks increasing by 38% in 2022 as bad actors steal identities and wipe out bank accounts at alarming rates. But consumers and businesses are becoming wise to the risk, which is in turn driving sales for providers of virtual private networks (VPNs). One good example is Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCMKTS: SWISF), a Swiss-hosted secure and private communications platform provider. It seems to be seeing explosive growth, with subscriber sign-ups for its Swiss-hosted privacy VPN, SekurVPN, up more than 100% month-over-month in September. Given the sheer number of attacks committed online and on mobile devices, that might not come as much of a surprise. According to a Clark School of Engineering Study, a hacker attack occurs every 39 seconds. And, in 2022, the potential total loss from cyber attacks was more than $10.2 billion, up almost 50% from $6.9 billion in 2021, according to the FBI’s Internet Crime Report for 2022. Identity theft collectively costs consumers billions of dollars and untold hours repairing damaged credit. So consumers and businesses are turning to VPNs to protect them online – and Sekur’s sales are soaring because of it. According to Forbes, two-thirds of surveyed U.S. internet users use a VPN to help protect personal data, one-third use a VPN to mask their internet activity and 80% use a VPN for increased cybersecurity. Only The Beginning? For Sekur, 100% subscriber growth could just be the beginning. The company expects exponential growth over the long term as it adds more enterprise features to its offering and upgrades to the next-generation Internet Protocol standard IPv6. A new ad campaign slated for October or early November should create more buzz as well. Plus, Sekur plans to sell its VPN products through resellers later this year. All of those initiatives should position the company well in the years to come. “Our prime directive is to provide private and secure communications for everyone,” said CEO Alain Ghiai when announcing the subscriber growth. “The results also do not reflect yet the full scale launch as we have just completed a prelaunch and are testing the waters. We expect this to be a big success once we launch it on social media and digital paid media.” Organic Search Booming The strong demand isn’t only for its VPN. Sekur.com is seeing a surge in traffic, too – up about 100% in the past month and 650% in the last two weeks. Importantly, the surge has been driven by organic searches. The more people that find Sekur.com on their own, the less the company spends to acquire customers. Currently, about 5% of organic website visitors become customers – a number Sekur expects to grow, lowering overall acquisition costs. The company is also going after the small and medium business market, of which there are over 30 million in the U.S. – which will further lower customer acquisition costs. SMBs often tend to have multiple users, and a single customer win can result in several subscribers. On top of all that, Sekur expects to launch a complete communication suite in the first quarter of 2024, adding encrypted voice calling tool SekurVoice and encrypted video conferencing solution SekurPro to its offerings. Those new products could drive sales as well. Privacy Matters The internet can be a scary place for many and consumers and businesses are becoming increasingly conscious of the risks presented by it. They connect with VPNs before they do their banking, shopping and socializing online. As the threats grow, so should sales of VPNs. Sekur seems well-positioned to capitalize on this demand. It uses the latest encryption technology through a proprietary infrastructure and doesn't rely on any big tech hosting providers. Plus, the company only offers Swiss IPs. Swiss privacy laws are considered among the strongest in the world for many reasons – for example, in 2010 the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland found that IP addresses are personal information and that under Swiss privacy laws, they may not be used to track Internet usage without the knowledge of the individuals involved. Sekur’s offerings are geared toward those who value privacy and want their personal information to be safe online. In today’s increasingly connected world, that could — or maybe should — be all of us. This post contains sponsored content.

Is The Time Right for M&A In The Mining Sector? Silvercorp Metals’ Acquisition Of OreCorp Adds Timely Growth With A Promising Project

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Companies in the junior mining sector are currently operating in a challenging capital-raising environment. The mining industry is highly cyclical, making it susceptible to fluctuations in commodity prices and other macroeconomic headwinds, making investors cautious about funding new exploration and development projects as potential returns may be uncertain. Against this backdrop, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) has emerged as a cost-effective avenue for well-capitalized companies to pursue disciplined growth and diversification. By leveraging their financial resources, technical expertise, and market presence, these established companies can effectively mitigate development and operating risks while unlocking the true value of quality projects. A study conducted by EY highlights that M&A deals in the mining sector have shown an upward trend, and Silvercorp’s recent acquisition might be a testament to the acceleration of this industry trend. Silvercorp Metals Inc. ( NYSE AMERICAN: SVM; TSX: SVM ) is an established Canadian mining company boasting a strong balance sheet, combining a track record of profitability along with growth opportunities, including fully-funded ‘organic’ growth within its existing low-cost mines, as well as ongoing strategic M&A efforts — has one recent example which could prove to be a home run. On August 6, Silvercorp and OreCorp Limited announced the signing of a binding agreement that will result in Silvercorp acquiring all the outstanding shares of OreCorp. The deal enhances Silvercorp’s asset base by adding a largely de-risked, low-cost gold project, while preserving the company’s cash for mine development. Under the agreement, OreCorp shareholders will receive AUD $0.15 in cash and 0.0967 of a Silvercorp common share for each OreCorp share, representing a total consideration of approximately AUD $240 million. Existing OreCorp shareholders will own 17.8% of Silvercorp's common shares after the deal is completed. The primary objectives of the acquisition are to create in Silvercorp a diversified and highly profitable precious metals company, provide a re-rating opportunity through the successful development of OreCorp's Nyanzaga Gold Project in Tanzania, and enable Silvercorp and OreCorp investors to be part of a company with greater access to capital, higher liquidity, increased scale and enhanced capital markets relevance. With its financial strength and the technical team's track record and expertise, Silvercorp is well-positioned to build, optimize, and further explore Nyanzaga, as well as pursue additional M&A opportunities. As part of the agreement, Silvercorp provided OreCorp with approximately AUD $28 million in funding through an equity placement to advance the project development, including resettlement activities and early project works, laying the groundwork for imminent full-scale construction. The board of OreCorp has unanimously recommended that shareholders vote in favor of the transaction, which is subject to various closing conditions, including shareholder and court approvals. Silvercorp has also committed to seeking a listing on the Australian Securities Exchange. Silvercorp looks to stand out in the mining industry by prioritizing cash flow generation, actively pursuing diverse avenues for growth, and upholding responsible mining practices. The company's strategic initiatives may have the potential to propel Silvercorp to a new level, while also highlighting enduring dedication to enhancing shareholder value.
