Codebase Acquires 50% Stake in NFT Startup InstaCoin

New, London U.K. Based Firm Establishing World Leading Self-Serve Social NFT Platform

Codebase Ventures Inc. ("Codebase" or the "Company") (CSE:CODE)(FSE:C5B)(OTCQB:BKLLF) is pleased to announce that the Company has invested in InstaCoin, a UK based NFT (non-fungible token) startup. Codebase's investment of £100,000 equates to a 50% share of the new London based NFT firm InstaCoin

"Code has worked with the principals behind InstaCoin through our existing TRAD3R investment and we continue to be very excited by their innovative approach within the blockchain ecosystem," said Mr. George Tsafalas, Codebase President and CEO. "Our existing relationship put us in a position to seize this opportunity, which allows Code to establish a 50% equity position at an early stage of the venture that aims to democratize NFT's rather than focus primarily on multi-million dollar individual components."

InstaCoin is positioned as the world's first self-serve social NFT platform. InstaCoin will allow users to connect their social profiles to the blockchain and create instant NFT tokens from their own content. Followers and fans connect in the open market for immediate sales.

With a one-off cost of $1 per NFT, this simple streamlined model will aim at targeting the millions of existing social media users to create sales and drive revenue instantly as well as a lifetime commission model from the secondary markets.

The firm behind InstaCoin, previously was known for TRAD3R, has already achieved success with a social trading platform with millions of users across the world.

"After we built TRAD3R, we already understood what it meant to take complex stock trading and make it simple and appealing; we're just reapplying that same skill set with InstaCoin and the NFT market," says the team's Head of Blockchain Rabin Zhang

The recent interest around NFT has been focused on single expensive tokens, for instance Mad Dogs "Crash & Burn," which sold at over $3.9M.1 InstaCoin has a different approach as explained by its founder Gianni O´Connor;

¨We think the future is in millions of low cost NFTs ranging from $2-$20. We know that millions of people around the world have powerful cameras 24/7 via smartphones which makes them content creators already. With Instacoin they can now financially capitalize on that content."

Codebase Ventures is a founding investor in InstaCoin and was previously a significant investor In TRAD3R. As such it is poised to assist in growing this new company and capitalizing on the growing yet exciting new market of NFTs.

Bitcoin Sets New Price Record, Surpasses Market Cap of Silver

Bitcoin has hit a new milestone, surpassing the US$72,000 mark in the early hours of Monday (March 11).

The world’s leading cryptocurrency has surpassed analysts' expectations quite a few times over the last two weeks, steadily rising as anticipation of the Bitcoin halving builds and as more investors gain exposure to the popular cryptocurrency through spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which were recently approved in the US.

“Major financial institutions are now actively involved in holding and trading BTC, catering to high-net-worth clients, thereby enhancing the significance and acceptance of digital assets within the financial industry," said research analyst Matteo Greco of Fineqia International (CSE:FNQ) in an emailed note.

11 Canadian Cryptocurrency ETFs (Updated 2024)

Cryptocurrencies offer an alternative route for building and storing wealth. While directly holding these digital assets is a popular option, investors are also clamoring for financial products such as cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

“There is a high demand for a Bitcoin product that has all the features that people love about ETFs — that they trade on an exchange, that they’re liquid,” Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co., told Bloomberg in mid-2021 after the launch of Canada’s first pure-play Bitcoin ETFs for trade on the TSX.

These Canadian cryptocurrency ETFs allow investors to place returns in tax-sheltered accounts like tax-free savings accounts or registered retirement savings plans.
