On Ramping More Users to Buy Crypto Is Creating a Multi-Billion Dollar DeFi Economy

TechX Technologies Inc. (CSE:TECX) (OTC:TECXF) Has Been On an M&A Tear and Is Positioned To Become a Leader With a Multitude of New Product Offerings

Everyone’s looking for the next Fintech unicorn. Riot Blockchain has gone from US$1.16 on March 6, 2020 to a high of US$79.50 on February 17, 2021. That’s an incredible 6,753% return in less than a year alone – 415 times the S&P 500’s return.[1]

That’s why investors and users have been pouring money into the red hot cryptocurrency sector.

The rise in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications is also growing rapidly and the latest company to hit it big is Voyager Digital Ltd.[2] with its market cap currently sitting at C$2.86B and C$4B in assets under management. Voyager’s growth has been incredible seeing it’s stock rise from C$0.28 to C$37.95 in the past year and completing a US$100M financing.

Take a look at their growth on the right.

There’s no other way to put it…

Investors Are In a Frenzy Wanting To Throw Money at the Next Promising Fintech Company

Let’s face it, traditional banks are limiting. And especially during CV19, who’s even going to the bank anymore?

Holding digital assets unlock an opportunity that our parents and grandparents did not get a chance witness.

Investors are always looking for the next Riot or Voyager Digital, but the ship has sailed to make ten bagger profits with those companies, but there’s a newcomer that has been making waves and it could potentially dominate the cryptocurrency industry and its market cap is still only US$39.8 million.

The first five months of the year has seen TechX Technologies Inc. (CSE:TECX) (OTC:TECXF) on an M&A tear after raising C$11 million dollars. The Company has successfully completed five transactions:

  1. 100% of the assets of 3030
  2. 19% of Catalyx Exchange
  3. 100% of the assets of Cryptobuddy.ai (now altsignals.com)
  4. 100% of Xport Digital
  5. 100% of Mobilum OU

The investing community has clearly taken note and we have not been this excited about a company in a long time…

After consolidating its shares on a two-and-one-half basis on February 1st, TechX Technologies Inc. (CSE:TECX) (OTC:TECXF) had strong momentum. In early April, the stock really began to heat up, hitting a high of C$1.68 on April 14. The stock’s cooled down slightly but it looks like it’s consolidating around C$0.65. Now armed with a war chest of cash in the bank, TechX Technologies Inc. (CSE:TECX) (OTC:TECXF) looks to utilize the funds to fund its user acquisition strategies and for added liquidity for its newly acquired on-ramping business.

TechX Is On Its Way To Becoming a Leader In Fiat-to-Crypto Credit Card Processing

As cryptocurrencies continue to move to the forefront of the financial system, ease of access has become a paramount priority for companies in the sector and customers alike. The critical first step of converting fiat currency into crypto is the beginning of a potentially exciting journey for someone expanding their crypto holdings or making their first investment. With multinational financial services like Visa and Mastercard processing these transactions in partnership with on-ramp processors, the process is easier than ever. Not only has this made customers’ crypto experience smoother, but it has accelerated the adoption of crypto and broadened the market.

In late March, Visa announced that it would begin accepting payments in the cryptocurrency USD Coin directly. Visa’s press release came on the heels of Mastercard’s recent announcement that it would soon begin facilitating crypto transactions. Since Visa and Mastercard started to support cryptocurrencies, it created a surge in M&A activity in the on-ramp space.

TechX Technologies Inc. (CSE:TECX) (OTC:TECXF) has been very active with its M&A activities acquiring fiat-to-crypto gateway Xport Digital for C$5 million on May 3rd. The Company also announced a definitive agreement to acquire Mobilum, a financial technology payment processing technology start-up located in Estonia, for C$16 million.

Mobilum’s simple-to-use on-ramp solution makes integration easy for businesses whose users buy and sell cryptocurrencies with Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards. Mobilum guarantees zero chargebacks, has the highest acceptance rates, and the lowest transaction fees in the industry at 2.99%.

At present, Mobilum’s daily processing volume ranges from C$100,000 to C$250,000 in transactions for cryptocurrency exchanges that include KuCoin, the sixth largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world accessible to over 8 million global users.

The problem for Mobilum isn’t about how they are planning on getting more business. The problem is they need more funds to purchase cryptocurrency after the users buy them on the exchange like KuCoin. It takes the Visa and Mastercard acquirers up to four days to pay Mobilum. We can expect the transaction volume to grow in the millions immediately after the transaction is closed.

“With very few exchanges offering credit card processing, we’ve seen an exponential increase in demand from exchanges and cryptocurrency businesses to utilize our on-ramp solution,” said Wojtek Kaszycki, CEO, Mobilum. “By merging with TechX, Mobilum will be able to increase its liquidity, giving us the ability to process millions of dollars in transactions per month.”

With the acquisition of Mobilum, TechX will make the use of its new fiat-to-crypto on-ramp gateway to exchanges and its own uBUCK wallet which will allow users to purchase up to 230+ cryptocurrencies with a Visa or Mastercard credit card or debit card.

8 Reasons Why the uBUCK DEFI Wallet Will Blow The Competition Away

  1. Stake and earn interest of up to 16% APY on select cryptocurrencies
  2. Swap multiple cryptocurrencies with lower fees than Ethereum-based protocols but continue to have the ability to swap Ethereum-based tokens
  3. Farm DeFi tokens and earn high interest yields
  4. Buy and sell over 237 cryptocurrencies
  5. On and off ramp with credit cards, electronic transfer funds, and wire transfers
  6. AI-based crypto trading signals
  7. Support for 82 fiat currencies

As the use of digital wallets and electronic payment methods continues to soar, TechX Technologies Inc. (CSE:TECX) (OTC:TECXF) will be finally debuting its digital wallet in late Q2 or early Q3 of this year and is being deemed as the first serious threat to traditional banks.

Up until now, before DeFi, no platform has been able to mount a real challenge to traditional banks. Cash apps in the United States have seen a surge in usage since the CV19 crisis has started. Payment apps like Zellepay and Venmo have seen a surge in users and activity, according to app analytics firm Apptopia[3].

But, what’s buzzing and growing even faster than payment apps is the surge in users moving their wealth into wallets paying high interest reward yields using DeFi. According to Statista, there are now 68.24 million global blockchain wallets[4] in circulation, a 47.5% increase from a year earlier.

The reason behind this surge is completely clear.

Why would anyone want to keep their money in a bank account to earn 0.05% to 0.50% per year when DeFi interest bearing accounts are paying between 2.35% to 12.50% on USDC, a stablecoin backed by the US Dollar[5].

According to Voyager’s press release on May 3rd[6], the company has US$3.3 billion in assets under management and 270,000 depositing users with 1 million downloads. That’s an average of $12,000 per depositing user and they did this all within the last eight months!

TechX Technologies Inc. (CSE:TECX) (OTC:TECXF) is positioning itself to be a global market leader, even potentially surpassing Voyager Digital once it launches in late June or early July.

Now you’re probably wondering and asking this question, “what the heck is DeFi?”

DeFi Is Reinventing Global Finance Faster Than The Fed Can Print Money

In its simplest form, decentralized finance (DeFi) is a system by which financial products become available on a public decentralized blockchain network, making them open to anyone to use, rather than going through middlemen like banks or brokerages. Unlike a bank or brokerage account, a government-issued ID, Social Security number, or proof of address are not necessary to use DeFi. More specifically, DeFi refers to a system by which software written on blockchains makes it possible for buyers, sellers, lenders, and borrowers to interact peer to peer or with a strictly software-based middleman rather than a company or institution facilitating a transaction.

Think of a financial system where the role of the banks and other financial institutions are completely replaced by “smart contracts” hosted on the blockchain.

With full transparency, global access, and zero censorship!

The total value locked in DeFi peaked at almost $90 billion just before the recent crash. It’s still sitting at $60 billion which is still phenomenal growth considering that value on May 25, 2020 at $949.70 million.[7] A 6217% increase!

The staggering growth of DeFi

What’s got people excited are the returns, even with stablecoins, the returns are between 2.35% and 12.50%. That’s significantly better than the 0.05% BMO is currently paying for example.

With the growth of DeFi and digital wallets still in its infancy, TechX Technologies Inc. (CSE:TECX) (OTC:TECXF) is perfectly positioned to become a leader in the space.

TechX Is Positioned To Be a Market Leader In Payment Processing and Digital Wallets

The cryptocurrency payments and digital wallet competitors in the space have lofty valuations and we believe that TechX Technologies Inc.’s (CSE:TECX) (OTC:TECXF) price has fallen to a level where it is truly a bargain among its peers. It’s the only company in the list below with a product line that includes payment processing, a digital wallet with interest rewards using DeFi protocols, the ability to swap various cryptocurrencies, AI based trading signals and crypto-to-fiat off ramp capabilities.

TechX has the potential to absolutely dominate thanks to its unique offerings and On-ramp business. It’s the main reason why it can pay out up to 16% on USDC (3.5% higher than the next best competitor).

At present, there are only a handful of companies in the world that offer an on-ramp product and only three of those are publicly traded (including TechX Technologies Inc. (CSE:TECX) (OTC:TECXF) in Canada. Banxa Holdings is currently trading at US$3.46 per share on the CSE and Nuvei, which just acquired Simplex for US$250 million in early May is a multi-billion dollar company.

If you look at this company’s strategic acquisitions, it’s plenty clear the market is hungry for these types of stocks.

Banxa began trading in January on the TSX Venture with a market cap of C$50 million. Two months later, the company listed on the OTC and its stock price skyrocketed from C$2.49 to a high of C$8.30.

In short, this really is almost the absolute perfect time for investors to really take a deeper look into TechX Technologies Inc. (CSE:TECX) (OTC:TECXF) before another ship sails.
