BEN’s products have been created with consumers in mind. According to a recent study, 79% of healthcare professionals preferred the responses of an AI chat compared to live doctors and a majority of users preferred hearing the AI Avatar speak. As such, the company’s AI model caters to the demands of healthcare professionals and patients. BEN believes that its AI could be useful to over 145,000 organizations within the healthcare space, and the company is looking to offer solutions to human error and burnout across a variety of healthcare industry operators including hospitals, pharmacy networks and payors. Partnerships Forged On Path To Success The company has recently announced some collaborations that highlight its growing position within the industry. OSF HealthCare, recognized as one of America’s Most Innovative Companies by Fortune in 2023, is partnering with BEN to bring AI assistants to healthcare facilities and improve simulated training operations for medical professionals.

Potential Supply-Demand Imbalance? The Growing Role Of Uranium And Copper Amid The Global Energy Transition

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga The global renewable energy landscape, spurred by the green transition, is marked by growing demand for a number of commodities. Among those, there are two key materials particularly gaining traction: uranium and copper. This trend is intricately linked to the worldwide shift toward zero-carbon emissions and the pursuit of more reliable and efficient energy sources. The projected surge in electricity demand, expected to rise by 86% by 2050, underscores the critical need for energy-related commodities in the green transition. Uranium, vital for nuclear energy, and copper, essential for its superior conductivity, are at the forefront of this shift, presenting potential investment opportunities as their demand potentially outpaces supply in the coming years. Uranium’s Role In The Energy Industry And Green Transition One uranium fuel pellet is equivalent to 149 gallons of oil or one ton of coal, yet the commodity still managed to take a back seat to fossil fuels over the last several decades – despite being a much cleaner energy source. However, uranium seems to finally be claiming its pivotal role in the energy sector, primarily driven by the resurgence of nuclear power as a reliable and low-carbon energy source. The global expansion of nuclear energy, highlighted by numerous new reactor constructions in countries like China, reflects a global commitment to diversifying energy sources and minimizing carbon footprints. Nuclear energy's density, reliability and efficiency make it an attractive option for powering high-demand sectors, such as data centers and computationally demanding artificial intelligence models that require massive amounts of baseload power. Unlike wind, solar and many other renewables, nuclear power can more easily supply energy around the clock. And unlike fossil fuels, it doesn’t produce direct carbon dioxide emissions. In other words, nuclear power could potentially truly offer the best of both worlds. The only catch is that nuclear power plants take a long time to be built and brought online and there currently seems to be an undersupply of uranium due to underinvestment in mining. Copper’s Role In The Energy Industry And Green Transition Copper is another metal that often flies under the radar in regard to the energy transition, but it is fundamental to the energy sector's evolution, especially in the context of the global shift toward the electrification of vehicles. Its high electrical conductivity positions it as an essential commodity used in construction, power generation and increasingly in the electric vehicle (EV) and renewable energy sectors. As the world strives to meet its emission goals, the demand for copper looks poised to soar, driven not only by its traditional roles but also by its critical function in renewable energy technologies and electricity networks. This anticipated surge in demand juxtaposes a looming supply challenge, with projections suggesting that existing mines and projects under construction may only meet 80% of the copper requirements by 2030. This scenario, similar to uranium, underscores the urgency for strategic investments in copper mining and production to bridge the potential supply-demand gap. For copper to play its indispensable role in facilitating a sustainable, electrified future, it is likely going to take a lot more investment to bring more supply to market. Sprott’s Uranium And Copper ETFs For investors looking to tap into the burgeoning markets of uranium and copper, Sprott Asset Management offers targeted investment solutions through its specialized Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). For those interested in uranium investments, Sprott’s offerings include the Sprott Uranium Miners ETF (NYSE: URNM) and the Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF (NASDAQ: URNJ). These funds provide investors with diversified exposure to the uranium sector through physical uranium and uranium mining companies. Similarly, the Sprott Copper Miners ETF (NASDAQ: COPP) and the Junior Copper Miners ETF (NASDAQ: COPJ) offer investment avenues in the copper industry, focusing on pure-play mining companies that stand to benefit from copper's critical role in the energy transition. Together, Sprott's ETFs represent a strategic opportunity for investors to engage with the essential materials driving the global shift toward renewable energy and sustainability. Investment Insights In A Green Future Uranium's resurgence in the nuclear sector and copper's critical function in electricity transmission and renewable technologies highlight their growing roles in the global energy landscape. Sprott Asset Management's specialized ETFs provide investors with an opportunity to gain exposure to these vital sectors, offering a pathway to participate in the growth potential driven by the world's accelerating move toward sustainable energy solutions. As the demand for clean and efficient energy sources continues to rise, uranium and copper stand out as key elements, potentially driving significant returns in the pursuit of a greener future.

What’s Driving The Gold Rush, And Will It Continue? Companies Like Austin Gold Are Betting It Will – Here’s Why

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga After years of relatively range-bound trading till 2023, gold is finally making moves that may hint at a bull market on the horizon. Price targets are inherently speculative, but in historical bull markets, the U.S. Treasury's gold value exceeded the monetary base by 1.5 times, suggesting a price of $32,000 per ounce considering today's $5.6 trillion Fed balance. Even adjusting for $3.2 trillion in excess reserves, a conservative estimate places gold at $14,000 per ounce to match historical ratios. These figures, while astonishing, align with past trends during periods of deflation and inflation, and given the current economic climate, it's not impossible that gold could reach these unprecedented levels again as investors seek protection from increasing financial instability during an election year. Historical Context Gold's journey from uncertainty to breakthrough in recent weeks has been particularly noteworthy. After a surge in 2020 partly driven by a massive increase in global liquidity during the pandemic, gold consolidated in a range for several years, but it finally made a decisive move beyond the $2,000 to $2,100 resistance zone on Mar. 4. This event wasn't just another peak; it confirmed gold's sustained uptrend that began in the early 2000s, showcasing its resilience and potential for further gains as a possible bull run similar to the 70s and early 2000s gathers steam. Gold has long held a valuable role as a hedge against the debasement of fiat currencies and the expanding global money supply, a pressing issue since the departure from the gold standard in 1971. However, this threat of debasement has grown even stronger recently with the rapid increase in the national debt and accompanying rise in interest obligations, which the Congressional Budget Office projects to be $870 billion in 2024 and $950 billion in 2025. This backdrop suggests a potential renaissance for gold, with the metal not just breaking past old barriers but potentially setting the stage for unprecedented growth in direct response to the ongoing debasement. Recent Market Trends and Central Bank Activity Despite a continued outflow from global gold ETFs for the ninth consecutive month – leading to a $2.9 billion reduction in assets and a 49-ton decrease in holdings – gold prices have shown resilience. This price stability can largely be attributed to significant purchases by central banks offsetting the impact of these ETF outflows. In February, North America experienced the most substantial outflows, reflecting investor anticipation of higher-for-longer rates due to the stronger-than-expected labor market and stickier inflation rates, which contributed to a stronger dollar and the reduced ETF holdings. However, Asia, led by China, recorded inflows for the twelfth consecutive month. Meanwhile, central banks globally added 39 tons to their reserves in January alone, with Turkey and China at the forefront of these acquisitions. This enduring demand from central banks, underscored by a year of strong gold buying in 2023, signals their continued support for gold as a valuable reserve asset and growing concern around fiat debasement. The Western Wake-Up Call While central banks and the Eastern world continue to buy gold, the Western world and retail more broadly seem to be lagging behind. However, the awakening of Western investors to the gold market could herald a significant boost to gold and gold-related stocks in the months to come. Even with gold prices at all-time highs, the ETF flows suggest retail has yet to join the market, implying a lot of potential momentum still to come. Ultimately, this is setting the stage for considerable potential gains in the gold sector, particularly for gold explorers like Austin Gold (AMEX: AUST) thanks to their potential to deliver superior returns compared to direct gold and silver investments. Austin Gold also recently completed its inaugural diamond drilling campaign at the Stockade Mountain Project, with three exploration holes drilled over the winter season – highlighting the potential of its assets. All that being said, it’s impossible to predict if or when sentiment will shift with complete accuracy, but if history repeats and gold's historical relationship to the monetary base holds true, $14,000 per ounce isn’t out of the question.

No Need To Sell Bitcoin: Get A Crypto-Backed Loan Instead

Ledn

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga Many investors trade crypto as a way to make short-term profits. However, what about those who purchase cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether with the intention of holding them as long-term investments, anticipating future appreciation? Most people assume that these assets need to be sold to unlock their financial value. However, there is another way to access liquidity without selling valuable currencies like Bitcoin and Ether – crypto-backed loans. Through the process of crypto-backed loans, crypto holders can use their digital assets as collateral to secure USD (or other currency) loans. This innovative approach allows individuals to maintain ownership of their cryptocurrencies while accessing liquid funds in the form of fiat or stablecoins. Accessing Liquidity Through Crypto Loans Crypto loans offer crypto holders a strategic avenue for liquidity without divesting their digital holdings. By using cryptocurrencies as collateral, crypto holders can secure loans that provide immediate liquidity. This liquidity can be used to further diversify investment portfolios, cover personal expenses or even support business ventures. Importantly, accessing funds in this way does not constitute a sale of the crypto assets, meaning you aren’t realizing any gains or potentially creating a taxable event. You are still allowing the crypto to potentially appreciate in value. Such financial flexibility can amplify your ability to navigate and capitalize on market opportunities without sacrificing your long-term crypto investments. Why Choose Ledn? Ledn stands out as a leading platform for managing and growing digital assets. It emphasizes simplicity and transparency, crucial for building trust. Ledn offers a reliable environment for crypto lending as it is backed by notable investors like Coinbase and 10T Holdings and Ledn Cayman SEZC Inc. holds regulatory approval from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. For those needing liquidity, Ledn provides crypto-backed loans, which are typically available within 24 hours after approval. These loans are flexible, with no penalties for early repayment, no mandatory monthly payments and 50% loan-to-value. They support only the most liquid cryptocurrencies as collateral (e.g. BTC, ETH) and maintain high security standards. Clients can choose between their Standard and Custodied loan options depending on their risk tolerance. Risk Management And Transparency Ledn sets itself apart in the digital asset industry by prioritizing risk management and transparency. Ledn was the first crypto lender to introduce biannual Proof-of-Reserves attestations that allow users to verify their assets are accurately accounted for. The decision mirrors the ‘verify don’t trust’ ethos of Bitcoin to create a new standard of accountability in digital asset management. Ledn also offers a monthly open book report to break down its asset utilization and interest generation to help users understand what drives Ledn’s rates. This commitment to transparency is unparalleled by competitive platforms and ensures that clients are well-informed. In an industry that has suffered from the Celsius and BlockFi collapses, client trust must be earned. Ledn says it is the only lending platform that provides its users with all the essential information to independently confirm the status of their crypto holdings. A New Era Of Crypto Financing If you're in need of liquidity but don’t want to sell your assets and potentially create a taxable event, Ledn can help you through a secure and transparent lending service. It is a robust solution for anyone looking to maximize the potential of their digital assets in the evolving crypto economy. Featured photo by Jievani Weerasinghe on Unsplash. Ledn builds innovative financial products with a mission to make generational wealth more accessible through digital assets. The company issued Canada’s first bitcoin-backed loan in 2018 and has issued nearly $5B loans since. Ledn is proud to help clients in over 130 countries access credit and savings products to grow their digital wealth. For more information, visit ledn.io. This post contains sponsored content.

Beeline's Miguel Vega: "The Dream of Owning a Piece of America is a Dominant Theme in the Latino Community"

Beeline

April 26, 2024 – TheNews w ire – Global Stocks News – Beeline – a fintech mortgage lender – just announced the May 1, 2024 launch of their Spanish-speaking home loan experience. The initiative, dubbed 'Colmena' (hive in English) is aimed at breaking down the barriers to homeownership for Latino communities. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, The U.S. Hispanic population has reached 62.1 million, accounting for 19% of all Americans. The custom machine learning models at Beeline will allow its AI GPT-powered mortgage chatbot to instantly respond to mortgage enquiries using a Spanish conversational interface. “Beeline recognizes the unique challenges faced by Latino families in accessing affordable housing and navigating a mortgage,” states the PR. “With 'Colmena', they aim to bridge this gap.” Spearheading the 'Colmena' initiative for Beeline is Miguel Vega, who has 25 years as a U.S. Hispanic market consultant and is a National Affordable Housing Advocate — Miguel is of Mexican-Texan heritage. “Serving the Latino community is a big opportunity for Beeline,” Vega told Guy Bennett, the CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “The largest segment of growth in homeownership is in the Hispanic market.” “Latinos tend to live with their parents in multi-generational family households,” Vega explained. “There’s an economic and cultural dimension to this. You need to understand both.  The dream of owning a piece of America is a dominant theme in the Latino community.” Beeline is a young technology & finance company that has quickly found traction in the competitive mortgage landscape. Click Image To View Full Size   “A lot of Latinos have difficulty qualifying for traditional mortgages,” Beeline CEO Nick Liuzza told GSN. “This is connected to their heavy participation in the gig economy.” “Half of all immigrants are engaged in independent work,” confirms the DC Journal, “Earning part-time or full-time income through consulting, delivery services, nursing, ride-sharing, dog-walking — you name it.” Without regular pay-stubs and long-term employment contracts, established, financially secure gig workers often find it difficult to qualify for a traditional mortgage. Legacy banks have underestimated the power and size of the gig economy, and the Hispanics that underpin it. The Bank of America (BOA) measures “gig-type income” through direct and debit card deposits. Freelancers are typically paid in cash, by cheque or e-transfer. “Is the peak of the gig economy now behind us?” asks  The Bank of America (BOA)? The short answer is “No”. “The gig economy is expanding 3x faster than the total US workforce,” reports Team Stage. “Over 50% of the US workforce is likely to participate in the gig economy by 2027.” Beeline is filling in a gap in services left by legacy banks. Spanish speaking workers play a disproportionately large role in the gig economy. Click Image To View Full Size   Source: https://www.zippia.com/advice/gig-economy-statistics/ “Gig workers are judged on old models of assessing risk,” stated Liuzza, “Colmena is going to introduce a wider spectrum of products than most lenders, allowing Latino borrowers a higher probability of success in landing a mortgage.” In addition to the usual conventional, FHA (Federal Housing Administration) and VA (Veteran Affairs) loans offered by many lenders, Beeline can provide Latino borrowers debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), bank statement, bridge and fix-n-flip loans that have already proved popular with other gig workers. “Spanish speakers will be automatically routed down a Spanish customer journey just for them and matched with a bilingual loan officer with certain loan documents in Spanish initially,” states Beeline. "Colmena will feature tailored mortgage products that are culturally aligned to addressing the specific needs and preferences of Latino homebuyers plus educational resources to promote homeownership and empower individuals and families to achieve their dreams of owning a home,” said Vega. Bob, Beeline's AI chatbot already speaks Spanish when prompted, but the next version will instantly detect the language based on the question, give faster, more accurate Spanish answers about products and offer educational content to help Spanish speakers prepare. "Often, Latino home buyers aren’t aware of their options," stated Vega, "It's a popular belief that you need 20% down and a FICO of 800 to be in the homeownership game. It's our job to educate Latinos that their dream is a lot closer than they think — which goes to the heart of what Beeline does." Beeline’s digitized, automated, on-line mortgage application platform is well-positioned to bridge the gap between Latinos and home ownership. “Hispanic Americans are heavier social media users overall compared to non-Hispanic Americans,” states Civic Science. “As of July 2023, 85% of Hispanic Americans say they use social media to some extent, compared to 80% of non-Hispanic Americans.  The widest gap is observed in Instagram usage. Click Image To View Full Size   Instagram @gomakeabeelineespanol “Instagram, Facebook and TikTok are good platforms to reach the Latino community,” confirmed Vega. “We will use social media to introduce the 65 million US-based Latinos to Beeline’s products and services.” “Over the last few years, I helped 2,500 Latino individuals and families get mortgages,” recalled Vega. “Many of them were 2 nd and 3 rd generation Latinos. Even though they are fluent in English, the majority of them still have deep roots in their culture.” "At Beeline, we believe that homeownership should be within reach for all Americans, regardless of background or ethnicity," said Liuzza. "With Colmena we will be able to interact with thousands of Latino customers simultaneously, 24/7 at an extremely low cost, with Spanish speaking human help never far away.” “Helping Latinos achieve home ownership is rewarding work,” concluded Vega. “From this group of 2,500 Spanish speaking home owners, the default rate was zero. A lot of the Latino borrowers paid off their mortgages early.  With Beeline’s technology and knowledge of the Hispanic community, we have an important role to play.” For more information about 'Colmena' go to: Website: www.makeabeeline.com\espanol Instagram @gomakeabeelineespanol Facebook https://www.facebook.com/gomakeabeelineespanol Contact: guy.bennett@globalstocksnews.com Full Disclaimer

KangaMoon Makes Waves in the Altcoin Space, While Solana and Toncoin Experience Market Shifts

Kangamoon

Established altcoins such as Solana (SOL) and Toncoin (TON) experience market swings. However, none have risen as rapidly as KangaMoon (KANG), a rising Stage 5 presale star. Early buyers of this altcoin have already obtained a 290% ROI. Many analysts hint that this crypto may become the next $1 altcoin in 2024. Let’s see why. Altcoin Sherpa Remains Bullish for the Solana Coin Recently, Solana (SOL) has been on an uptrend. According to CoinMarketCap data, the Solana price increased from $136 to $153 over the past week alone. Its market cap soared from $60.73B to $68.66B during that time. Crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa claims that a price chop between the $115-$140 area could signal a bottom for SOL, which is very bullish. The technical analysis for the Solana crypto also shows bullish signs. For example, this altcoin trades above its 100 and 200-day EMAs while boasting 25 green technical indicators. As a result, experts in the crypto field have made a bullish Solana price prediction. They forecast a jump to $228.09 before Q2 of 2024 ends for Solana. Toncoin Price Analysis: Showing an Upward Trajectory Meanwhile, Toncoin (TON) is another altcoin that has been soaring. CoinMarketCap data shows that the Toncoin price jumped from $4.90 to $5.65 in the last 30 days. This altcoin’s market cap surged from $17.09B to $19.64B in that period. This bullish trend for the Toncoin crypto may continue as its technical analysis is bullish. Notably, there are now 15 technical indicators in the buy zone. Not only that, Toncoin is now trading above its 50—and 100-day EMAs. Market analysts note all these factors when making their Toncoin price predictions. Thus, they predict a rise to $3.34 within Q2 of 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): A Future Member of the Top 10 Altcoins During the market shifts of Solana and Toncoin, KangaMoon (KANG) emerged as a contender with great potential. This altcoin is gaining popularity, boasting over 20K community members and 5.8K KANG holders. Traders have been captivated by the project’s attention to the Play-to-Earn (P2E) industry, which is estimated to be worth $885M by 2028. KANG is unique in its use as an in-game currency for KangaMoon’s upcoming P2E game. This adds value because players can buy items in-game or even upgrade their characters. Additionally, KangaMoon will give KANG holders exclusive access to weekly, monthly, and quarterly challenges for extra tokens and in-game items. Moreover, its focus on giving back sets KangaMoon apart from others. So far, free KANG tokens have been distributed among the most active community members before launching officially. Consequently, this move has made countless individuals engage with KangaMoon’s social media posts by liking, sharing and retweeting them. KANG costs just $0.0196 as it is in Stage 5 of its presale—a 290% jump from its starting price. However, analysts still strongly believe in Kangamoon’s future growth potential. They foresee a rise to $1 once a Tier-1 CEX lists this altcoin in Q2 of 2024. With this prediction coming true, KANG may emerge as one of the best altcoins to buy. Can KangaMoon Outpace Solana and Toncoin? With a market cap of $19.6M, KangaMoon may outpace Solana and Toncoin since it needs fewer new funds to raise its price. Thanks to this advantage, KangaMoon has the potential to become one of the top 10 altcoins that you can now buy for a low price.
