No More Jitters? Company Says Its Hydro-CaffeineTM Improves Your Morning Caffeine Fix’s Benefits By 400-500%

Rexis Biotech

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga It’s no secret that many people turn to chugging caffeine-induced drinks to get them through the day. But what they may not realize is too much caffeine can be a bad thing. Jitters, elevated heart rates and anxiety are just some of the side effects many consumers just learn to accept. But caffeine overload doesn’t have to be the foregone conclusion just to get your caffeine fix. Products like Rexis Biotech Inc.’s Hydro-Caffeine TM are revolutionizing the energy drink market. Thanks to its nanotechnology, the Delaware biotech firm says it has created a better caffeine that gives you energy without all the bad side effects. Quadruple The Effects For Less Hydro-Caffeine can be found in Rexis’s new groundbreaking energy drink Squared Energy, a product line extension to their already successful Squared brand which is available in over 2,000+ retailers in 10 states across the country. It is created using the company’s proprietary co-crystal that amplifies the effects by increasing the bioavailability of its caffeine co-crystal by four to five times. Rexis is taking it up a level with this drink by fusing Hydro-Caffeine with naturally occurring Hemp Delta-9 THC + broad-spectrum CBD to create a singular polymorph molecule in which all three work together for the ultimate entourage effect. That creates a unique experience for consumers highlighted by clear-headed, focused energy without any jitters or anxiety, according to Rexis. The first two flavors they’ll be bringing to market include a Raspberry Lemonade and their High Spirits Awards-winning Sparkling Grapefruit. Hydro-Caffeine could be a huge winner for both consumers and Rexis shareholders; caffeine is a very popular energy stimulant. Not only does caffeine give you energy but it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes and improve longevity, which is why caffeine is so popular in the U.S. and abroad. While coffee and tea are the most common ways to get a caffeine fix, energy drinks, caffeine pills and supplements are also popular. In fact, the global energy drinks market is poised to reach $108.4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2022 to 2031. In the U.S. 93% of Americans say they consume caffeine, with 75% partaking in it daily, according to the International Food Information Council. One-quarter of that group consumes caffeine three or more times a day. It is the latter group that worries doctors. Caffeine overdose is real and can lead to several issues including insomnia, jitters, anxiety, elevated heart rate and headaches. It tends to happen a lot since many Americans underestimate the safe amount of caffeine to consume and still remain healthy. Worse, the International Food Information Council found nearly 29% of consumers in the U.S. say they don’t know what the safe amount of caffeine is. The Secret Sauce Rexis says that with Squared Energy, you need not worry about getting too much or too little caffeine to reap the benefits. The secret behind it is the Hydro-Caffeine fibers which are absorbed more efficiently and rapidly through sublingual and buccal absorption in the cheeks and mouth. That differs from traditional energy drinks, which use a form of encapsulated caffeine in which the caffeine is coated with a sugar-type substance to eliminate bitter flavors. That process increases the time it takes to absorb, decreasing the portion introduced into circulation. The caffeine then must be processed by first-pass metabolism, which reduces efficacy even more. As a result, Rexis says you may receive as much as 25% less of the ingredient in your system than what is said on the packaging. “Shaking Up” The Market Rexis’s potentially game-changing Squared Energy drink isn’t the only way the biotech is shaking up the consumer markets. With its proprietary nanotechnology, it can improve the potency, taste and speed of effectiveness in everything from energy drinks to cannabis-infused beverages. The goal of Rexis Biotech is to be the Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) or Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) of the consumer packaged goods industry. It envisions a world where brands license Rexis’s nanotechnology to enhance everything from drinks to food. To meet that end Rexis also manufactures and distributes products for companies including Hemp D9 beverages for 3Chi and functional mushrooms for First Person. It also licenses its technology to brands in the regulated cannabis market including Smokiez and Happy Valley. Caffeine will always be a preferred way to get a boost, but that doesn’t mean consumers have to accept the negative side effects. Jitters, headaches and elevated heart rates could become a thing of the past thanks to Rexis Biotech. Rexis Biotech is currently raising funds to support its growth.

Enhanced Design Breakthrough Makes Ventripoint's VMS+ Even Simpler to Use

Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd.

***Faster, User Friendly Cardio AI Imaging Product for Commercial Roll Out***   Toronto, Ont. — TheNewswire --- March 04, 2024 — Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. ("Ventripoint" or the "Company"), (TSXV:VPT ); ( OTC:VPTDF) released a significant upgrade to the design and function of its whole-heart analysis system (VMS+3.2), which accelerates imaging, analysis and ease of use at the point of care.   The new design allows immediate calibration by technicians with existing ultrasound equipment  to more quickly generate 2D ultrasound images, which the VMS+3.2 turns into a high-definition 3D heart model. The upgraded system also includes an improved 3D visualization tool, which speeds up and facilitates the analysis of 3D ultrasound exams.   VMS+3.2 release improves the ease-of-use of 2D and 3D echocardiogram procedures for sonographers, cardiologists and caregivers, assuring seamless integration of Ventripoint technology into patient-care workflow and standard of care. In a busy echocardiography unit, reducing the time for a procedure without compromising the quality of the results is a constant challenge and the VMS+3.2 will be appreciated for these innovations.   “We are constantly improving the design of our system, to generate efficiencies and better outcomes,” said Ventripoint’s Interim CEO, Hugh MacNaught. “This is a best-in-class diagnostic tool that allows enhanced echocardiograms of infants and adults to be available faster and at less cost than a cardiac MRI, with equivalent structural and functional results.”   The new design removes the magnet from the probe-tracking system and so it is now immune to environments where magnetic fields are present and is no longer a concern for implanted patient medical devices, such as pacemakers and other cardiac devices, where magnets can be disruptive. The Company intends to submit to regulatory agencies for the removal of this limitation on the VMS+ system.     Ventripoint’s technology is now being used in leading hospitals in Europe, the UK, Canada, China and the United States as an alternative to traditional MRI heart scans. These users will be offered the VMS+3.2 upgrade for a fee and future sales will be of the VMS+3.2 version.  The Company is now focused on expanding the user base in hospitals and clinics worldwide.   The Company has a world-class board of clinical advisors who continue to provide ideas for design improvements, which are ongoing.  The company expects to announce additional enhancements in 2024, which will require regulatory approvals and enable VMS+ to be used with a wider range of patients.  It is important to note that these future upgrades are software improvements, which can be seamlessly integrated into existing and new VMS+ units.   For further information, please contact: Jonathan Robinson CFA JRobinson@oakhillfinancial.ca (416) 669-1001 Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.   About Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd.   Ventripoint has become an industry leader in the application of AI (Artificial Intelligence) to echocardiography. Ventripoint's VMS products are powered by its proprietary KBR technology, which is the result of a decade of development and provides accurate volumetric cardiac measurements equivalent to MRI. This affordable, gold-standard alternative allows cardiologists greater confidence in the management of their patients. Providing better care to patients serves as a springboard and basic standard for all Ventripoint's products that guide our future developments. In addition, VMS+ is versatile and can be used with all ultrasound systems from any vendor supported by regulatory market approvals in the U.S., Europe, and Canada.

HTX DAO

On March 2, HTX DAO attended the Blockchain Festival Asia 2024, sponsoring both the event and the Lanyard session. This marked HTX DAO's debut at a top-tier crypto summit, highlighting its objective to enhance global recognition and attract more renowned industry institutions for its ecosystem development.

HTX Ventures Invest in BounceBit to Develop Bitcoin Restaking Infrastructure

HTX Ventures

HTX Ventures, the global investment arm of the cryptocurrency exchange HTX, has announced a strategic investment in BounceBit, marking a pivotal step in enhancing the diversity within the Bitcoin Ecosystem. This investment underlines HTX Ventures' commitment to fostering innovation and supporting groundbreaking technologies in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors. BounceBit is building a BTC restaking infrastructure that provides a foundational layer for different restaking products, secured by the regulated custody of Mainnet Digital and Ceffu. The BounceBit chain, designed as a showcase of a restaking product within the BounceBit ecosystem, is a PoS Layer 1 secured by validators staking both BTC and BounceBit’s native token – A dual-token system leveraging native Bitcoin’s security with full EVM compatibility. Critical ecosystem infrastructure like bridges and oracles are secured by restaked BTC. Through an innovative CeFi + DeFi framework, BounceBit empowers BTC holders to earn yield across multiple networks. BounceBit has successfully closed a $6-million funding round aimed at constructing a robust BTC Restaking infrastructure. This funding round not only provides the necessary capital but also brings together a consortium of expertise and resources that will be pivotal in realizing BounceBit's goals. Edward Chen, Managing Partner of HTX Ventures, shared insights on the initiative, "BounceBit is attempting to address the consensus and trust issues of Bitcoin sidechains by utilizing centralized custody on top of the conventional sidechain architecture. A centralized plus decentralized Bitcoin ecosystem solution could potentially be a viable approach under the current circumstances. The product's design mechanism and the team exhibit competitiveness and imaginative potential within the domain." Jack Lu, Founder & CEO of BounceBit, acknowledged the significance of the investment round, stating, "Expertise and support from our investors such as HTX Ventures will be instrumental in our mission to build restaking infrastructure to support yield generation for all types of Bitcoin across a variety of networks." BounceBit has demonstrated remarkable early success, securing $445M in Total Value Locked (TVL) within three weeks of its Early Access launch. At its core, BounceBit’s innovation stems from its BTC Restaking mechanism. This relatively new concept acts as the foundation of the project. BounceBit will build a plethora of infrastructure, exploring the use-cases of Restaking for various types of Bitcoin. These infrastructure components are called Shared-Security Clients (SSC). BounceBit’s first showcase of such an SSC will be its BTC Restaking Chain. The BounceBit chain is secured by validators staking both BTC and BounceBit’s native token – A dual-token system leveraging native Bitcoin’s security, liquidity and low volatility. Unlike existing Layer 2 solutions, BounceBit interacts with Bitcoin only on the asset level instead of the protocol level, taking a Layer 1 Proof of Stake approach. BTC Restaking provides shared security to infrastructure and DApps on BounceBit, e.g. bridges and oracles will be validated by restaked BTC. Another highlight of BounceBit is its transparent CeFi foundation that secures users’ assets via the regulated custody of Mainnet Digital and Ceffu, while leveraging on-chain asset traceability. Through an innovative CeFi + DeFi infrastructure, BounceBit empowers BTC holders to earn yield through delta-neutral strategies, whilst being additionally protected by an insurance fund. BounceBit is poised for its Mainnet Launch in April, aligning with the Bitcoin halving. The Testnet is slated for early March. Early TVL contributors have the opportunity to earn BounceBit points at bouncebit.io.

HTX Ventures Provides Exclusive Sponsorship for Zen Zone at ETHDenver 2024, Monitoring Ethereum Ecosystem's Growth and Innovation

HTX Ventures

During ETHDenver 2024, HTX Ventures attended the event and exclusively sponsored the Zen Zone. This highlights HTX's close observation of how technological advancements drive the growth and innovation of Ethereum and its ecosystem, while remaining committed to advancing Web3 infrastructure and ecosystem development. In doing so, HTX Ventures supports the next generation of Web3 enterprises and contributes to the development of the HTX ecosystem. HTX Ventures, the global investment arm of HTX, adopts a strategy of direct investment and fund investment, having invested in over 200 projects in 2023. These projects span various fields, including infrastructure, DeFi, RWA, L1 & L2 public chain ecosystems, SocialFi, NFTs, and education. Seeking to explore emerging business models within the industry, it offers comprehensive support to collaborative projects, including financing, resources, and strategic consulting, to foster the growth of the blockchain ecosystem. HTX and HTX Ventures view Ethereum as a vast ecosystem that supports a wide array of applications. Its emphasis on scalability, privacy, and decentralized governance is poised to drive Ethereum towards its vision of becoming a decentralized platform for the new era of digital interaction and collaboration. In HTX Ventures' research report, "Layer2: Status and Trends," it is highlighted that the year 2023 witnessed a major reshuffling in the landscape of new public chains. It's highly unlikely for new public chain projects to replace Ethereum's dominant position in the blockchain space. However, a Layer 2 project, capable of attracting funds, users, and developers from Ethereum, outperforms new public chain projects in bear markets. Layer 2 not only solidifies Ethereum's position but also acts as a catalyst, boosting the value of ETH. HTX Ventures also noted that decentralized sequencers represent one of the solutions to address security and fairness issues in Layer 2 networks. Furthermore, the upcoming EIP-4844 is expected to further reduce the cost of Layer 2 Rollups, thereby promoting the adoption of Layer 2 projects. Consequently, the Layer 2 sector has the potential to emerge as a catalyst for the next bull market. Furthermore, HTX Ventures emphasizes that many projects within the Ethereum ecosystem have yet to launch their tokens. The potential for wealth creation in these projects may extend into the next bull market, attracting widespread attention from users and investors. Additionally, in 2024, the Web3 sector is poised for deep integration, improved regulatory adaptability, and a trend towards maturity. This will facilitate the gradual implementation of interoperability between chains and ecosystems, driving the cryptocurrency market towards maturity and mainstream adoption. Moving forward, HTX and HTX Ventures are dedicated to closely monitoring the innovation and development of the Ethereum ecosystem, while continuously advancing investment and project incubation to nurture the next generation of Web3 enterprises. From February 23 to March 2, ETHDenver 2024 unfolded in Denver, USA. The BUIDLWeek event took place from February 23 to February 28, followed by core activities from February 29 to March 2. Renowned as one of the world's largest and longest-running Ethereum gatherings, ETHDenver primarily attracted Ethereum ecosystem enthusiasts, designers, and developers. The Zen Zone at ETHDenver 2024 provided attendees with a relaxation area featuring various therapeutic experiences.

HTX plans to support more cryptocurrencies and other accounts besides the Spot account for Liquid Restaking in the near future. Moreover, a booster will be introduced to enhance the rewards for $HTX holders. Please stay tuned for further announcements. Understanding Restaking What Is Restaking? Restaking is an innovative capital management method in the cryptocurrency staking ecosystem, allowing users to reinvest their cryptos that have staked on a protocol for rewards to more staking protocols for enhanced capital efficiency and potential gains. Restaking boasts many advantages, foremost among them being the optimization of capital utilization. By choosing Restaking, users can engage in multiple staking projects without the need to unlock and transfer assets they have already staked, while not compromising the security and rewards of the staking they engaged in. As a result, users can diversify their income sources while maintaining their contribution to network consensus. Simply put, Restaking offers a new avenue for stakers to earn additional income while bolstering the security and stability of multiple networks. We can illustrate Restaking with an example from daily life: Imagine you have deposits in a savings account at a bank, which provides you with asset certificates. Then you return these certificates to the bank, allowing it to manage your deposits. These deposits not only ensure the safety of your assets but can also be utilized for loans or investments to generate interest or returns. The idea of Restaking mirrors this process, albeit in crypto or blockchain networks. Why Restaking? The advantages are numerous: You gain additional liquidity with your crypto assets. Similar to banks, decentralized finance platforms use your cryptos for lending, thereby earning you additional crypto assets. You boost profits by investing or trading with borrowed cryptos. This approach allows you to seize more opportunities and achieve asset appreciation. You earn interest or returns as a reward for Restaking. Similar to the interest in a savings account, cryptos in Restaking generates returns as your reward. However, Restaking faces a major challenge: liquidity. After being Restaked, the staker's assets are locked up in the nodes and cannot be used for other investments or trading. To tackle this challenge, HTX's Liquid Restaking provides greater flexibility compared to on-chain Restaking. So, what are the advantages of HTX Liquid Restaking compared to on-chain Restaking? 1. Simplicity, Accessibility, and Lower Risk. Users can participate with a simple click on the event page. HTX guarantees that during this event, regardless of any potential on-chain risks, user assets will always be safeguarded. 2. Excellent Asset Liquidity. Users are not required to stake any assets to participate in Liquid Restaking, and their participation in the event will not affect the trading of their assets. Additionally, users can earn staking rewards across different chains depending on the assets they hold. 3. Flexible Earnings. With daily snapshots of spot accounts, even short-term holders have the opportunity to earn rewards. As HTX supports more cryptos for Restaking, users can receive daily staking rewards regardless of the form of their assets on the platform. What Are the Points Obtained from Liquid Restaking Used for? LRS points can be redeemed for corresponding rewards: LRS-BTC for Merlin Chain and BounceBit airdrops; LRS-ETH for EigenLayer and Puffer airdrops; (Please note the actual airdrop rewards are subject to rewards provided by these projects.) LRS-USDT, LRS-TRX, and LRS-HTX for corresponding tokens. Please refer to the official announcements for details. The redemption of LRS-USDT, LRS-TRX, and LRS-HTX points will be available soon, while LRS-BTC and LRS-ETH points can be redeemed within 14 days after the start of the on-chain project airdrops, estimated after April 2024, depending on the on-chain airdrop schedule. The rewards will be credited to participants' Spot accounts. Points for a specific cryptocurrency that a user can receive are calculated using the following formula: Points = Distribution amount on the day * Amount of snapshotted cryptocurrency held by the user / Amount of all participants' assets snapshotted. In simpler terms, you'll receive more points with larger spot asset or earlier registration.
