UFC and Aires Tech Inc. Join Forces to Reach a Global Audience of 700 Million Fans

AAIRF, EDR, TKO

In a world increasingly reliant on technology, concerns about electromagnetic radiation (EMR) have led to a surge in demand for innovative solutions. American Aires Inc. (CSE: WIFI) (OTCQB: AAIRF) has been making significant strides in the tech industry with its cutting-edge approach to electromagnetic radiation (EMF) protection. The US market for EMF protection is estimated to be worth $5 billion, representing only a small portion of the even larger global opportunity. With the announcement of a multi-year global marketing partnership with UFC last week, now could be the time to take a look at AAIRF. The UFC Collaboration: AAIRF's visibility will increase significantly as a result of the partnership with UFC, the top mixed martial arts organization and a division of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:TKO), which Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EDR) owns a majority stake in. With UFC’s reach extending to over 700 million fans in 170 countries and approximately 975 million households, this collaboration is poised to place Aires Tech in front of a massive global audience. The integration of Aires branding within UFC’s major events, including pay-per-view broadcasts and other media, will provide unparalleled reach. Grant Norris-Jones, Head of Global Partnerships at TKO, highlighted the synergy between the two brands: “Aires aligns well with our brand in several respects, including their focus on innovation and being a first mover in their industry.” Josh Bruni, CEO of Aires, emphasized the benefits of the partnership: “This collaboration not only amplifies our global reach but also connects us with UFC's dedicated audience, who value peak performance and personal well-being.” The partnership was activated at UFC 302: Makhachev vs. Poirier on June 1, 2024, marking a significant milestone in Aires' journey to become a global leader in EMF protection technology. The company hopes that this collaboration is expected to drive brand awareness and sales growth, solidifying Aires’ position as a leader in the market. Innovative Technology: The exclusive silicon-based resonator technology from Aires is intended to block dangerous electromagnetic radiation (EMR) released by consumer electronics. This innovation is embodied in their Lifetune products, which target EMR from cellphones, computers, baby monitors, Wi-Fi, and high-speed 5G networks. With over 20 years and $20 million invested in research and development, Aires has positioned itself as a pioneer in the field of EMR protection. The company's products appeal to a wide range of customers, including biohackers, athletes, individuals concerned with fertility, and those seeking better sleep. Aires operates a direct-to-consumer sales model with fulfillment centers in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the EU, and has recently established a new center in the UK to support its global expansion efforts. Financial Strength and Growth Trajectory: American Aires Inc. has demonstrated robust financial performance, with gross margins averaging around 60%. This is comparable to top technology companies like Nvidia and Apple, which boast gross margins of 75% and 45%, respectively. The company achieved positive EBITDA (adjusted) in its most recent quarter, underscoring its strong financial health. In fiscal year 2023, Aires reported a record annual order volume of $10.4 million, a 79% increase year-over-year. The company's direct-to-consumer business now ships products to over 60 countries, with significant growth observed in Australia and the EU. In Q1 2024, Aires reported a 37% year-over-year increase in sales, despite typical Q1 consumer spending weaknesses. The company's cash balance also saw a substantial improvement, increasing from $0.03 million in Q4 2023 to $2.3 million in Q1 2024, bolstered by successful financings in February and May 2024. CEO Josh Bruni stated, “Now that Q1 and our heavy lifting on the IR front are behind us, we're refocusing our efforts on deploying the capital we raised across three major fronts: forging prominent new marketing partnerships, building universal brand awareness, and expanding internationally. In other words, continuing to do what's enabled our multi-year trajectory of significant revenue growth so we can make 2024 our best year ever.” Disclaimers: RazorPitch Inc.

Tron and Ethereum Lose Momentum, Raboo Set To Surge 10x in June

Total Media

Although the crypto market is generally bullish, popular tokens like Tron and Ethereum are not performing as expected. Tron's protracted legal battles with the SEC and the delay in the official trading of the Ethereum ETF have been identified as probable causes. Meanwhile, investors remain confident in the revolutionary memetoken Raboo (RABT), which is currently gaining momentum in its presale, with over $1.5 million worth of the token sold already. Also, with a potential to surge by 10x in June, Raboo is rapidly becoming one of the best cryptos to invest in this year. Tron’s legal battles slow down momentum after price slump Tron continues to face significant legal challenges from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC lawsuit against Tron, which has slowed down its market activity, alleges that Tron's TRX token is a security. The SEC further claimed that the sales of these tokens were not legal since they are unregistered securities offerings. Tron has firmly disputed these claims, stating that the SEC's allegations are "tenuous at best." Furthermore, Tron claims that the SEC is not a "worldwide regulator" and that its attempt to apply U.S. securities laws to "predominantly foreign conduct" goes "too far." This stance is consistent with the firm's headquarters being in Singapore. The ongoing legal challenges have impacted Tron's momentum given that Tron has been down by more than 6% for a month. Crypto analysts have identified its ongoing legal battles as the root of this decline, given that investors have become increasingly cautious about investing in Tron’s platform with the ongoing regulatory issues. Ethereum’s ETF trading delay slows price growth Ethereum's recent rally has fizzled out, indicating a loss of momentum even though backers of the project continue to affirm that it is still one of the best crypto to invest in this year. The token is expected to witness increased trading activity due to the approval of spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), however, the ETFs are yet to commence trading officially as investors await the respective Form S-1 approval for each fund. This development has led crypto analysts to speculate that the uncertainty that accompanies such inactive moments could spell trouble for Ethereum's price, particularly given the high futures open interest that rose to its highest level ever on May 28. The recent approval of 19b-4s forms issued by the Ethereum ETF issuers does not mean that trading in Ethereum ETFs has begun. The S-1 forms, which include detailed financial and risk information, are yet to be approved by the SEC and could take weeks. This delay in trading has contributed to the lack of market activity which has slowed down growth and has led crypto analysts to believe that Ethereum would continue to lose momentum in the meantime. Raboo tipped to 10X in June as AI meme coin surges on massive adoption Raboo, the new AI meme coin, is expected to surge 10x in June, according to analysts. This prediction is based on the token's unique social-fi model, which allows holders to earn extra tokens by competing in challenges and giveaways. Crypto enthusiasts also stand the chance to earn returns by engaging the platform. Raboo's integration of AI technology continues to drive its growth, positioning it as one of the best altcoins to buy in 2024. While massive purchase of its presale token that has now exceeded the $1.5 million mark is projected to inspire a 10x surge in June, crypto analysts have also predicted that Raboo's price will grow 233% during the presale and 100x on launch day. This rapid growth is attributed to the token's innovative features that are designed to attract memecoin enthusiasts. Raboo's surge in June is expected to be 10x after being tipped as the best altcoin to buy in 2024. Raboo is well-positioned to become one of the best altcoins in the industry as more crypto enthusiasts join the platform, increasing its strong community while its innovative features continue to captivate investors. Investors looking for a high-growth opportunity should consider Raboo, which is expected to 100x this year. Conclusion Tron and Ethereum continue to face challenges amidst ongoing lawsuits and reduced trading activity that has inspired a loss of momentum for both tokens. Meanwhile, Raboo, an innovative memecoin that has been tipped as the best crypto to buy in 2024, continues to attract more investors after record surge positioning it for massive returns in June and lucrative returns for investors upon launch.

HTX Ventures Invests in Babylon to Advance Trustless Bitcoin Staking

HTX Ventures

This investment underlines HTX Ventures’ commitment to fostering innovation and supporting groundbreaking technologies in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors. Babylon builds infrastructure that allows proof-of-stake systems to obtain staking capital from Bitcoin. The platform uses modular design and slashing functionality to let stake-base systems, such as blockchains, Layer 2s, DA layers and oracles, and incorporates Bitcoin as a staking and restaking asset. "HTX Ventures is excited to support Babylon's pioneering efforts in harnessing Bitcoin for decentralized security," said Edward, Managing Partner of HTX Ventures. "Babylon’s trustless design unlocks new possibilities for Bitcoin, transforming its utility and paving the way for innovative Bitcoin-native applications. We believe Babylon will play a crucial role in advancing the blockchain ecosystem, and are proud to be a part of this transformative journey." "This funding will accelerate our mission to make Bitcoin the security backbone of PoS systems," Babylon co-founder David Tse said in a statement. "Our team is dedicated to advancing the utility of Bitcoin beyond its traditional roles and enhancing the security of the entire blockchain ecosystem." Babylon recently raised $70 million in a funding round led by the venture firm Paradigm. In February 2024, Babylon launched the world’s first trustless Bitcoin staking testnet, attracting over 100,000 stakers within 48 hours. This remarkable response highlights the platform’s potential to transform Bitcoin into the security backbone of PoS systems. This achievement underscores Babylon’s technical expertise and commitment to fostering a secure, decentralized economy.

Bluepeak to Invest More Than $19.5 Million to Bring Fiber Optic Internet to the City of Muskogee

Bluepeak

Bluepeak is investing more than $19.5 million to expand its fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network to the City of Muskogee, Oklahoma. The network expansion will bring a new fast, affordable, reliable fiber broadband option to more than 16,000 homes and businesses in Muskogee starting in 2024. Previously announced in 2022, Muskogee is one of several new expansion markets for Bluepeak slated for launch in 2024 and 2025, and has actively moved into the design and engineering phase. “This marks a significant milestone for Muskogee. Cutting-edge fiber technology to our homes and businesses ensures that Muskogee stays ahead in the digital landscape,” said Planning and Community Development Director, Jody King. “We are excited that Bluepeak has been submitting permits for their planned build and are ready to support this project and the many benefits it will bring to our community.” “We are thrilled that Bluepeak’s investment in Muskogee’s broadband infrastructure is progressing, with the completion of their permitting process and imminent construction,” said Avery Frix, Senator-elect. “This initiative not only provides our community with choices for connectivity but also supports economic development, education, and overall quality of life. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this will have.” Since 2021, Bluepeak has been dramatically improving broadband options by bringing fast, reliable, affordable fiber internet to residents of Oklahoma, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, and soon, Texas. The latest network expansion investment is part of Bluepeak’s larger plans to invest more than $200 million to continue building out its network in its currently served markets, reaching more than 200,000 new locations with its fiber network in 2024 and 2025. With Bluepeak service, customers get fiber-fast speeds, equal upload and download speeds and whole-home WiFi. Bluepeak service features all-in pricing, where the price on the website is the price on the bill, with a minimum service tier of 1 gigabit-per-second (Gbps). Homes can get up to 5 Gbps and businesses 10 Gbps and beyond. Each fiber internet speed package includes Wi-Fi powered by eero, along with the added value of eero Secure, which protects devices from online threats, ads and allows for customized content filtering. Bluepeak's fiber network provides reliable connectivity and the bandwidth to connect more devices for internet, streaming, gaming and more. Ultimately, Bluepeak service increases broadband competition for internet consumers by providing a fast, reliable, affordable choice for internet in communities where options have traditionally been very limited. According to the Federal Trade Commission, competition “benefits consumers by keeping prices low and the quality and choice of goods and services high.” In addition, a 2020 report by Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond on “Bringing Broadband to Rural America” determined that broadband access and adoption is linked to increased job and population growth, higher rates of new business formation, higher home values, and lower unemployment rates. Those in Muskogee interested in more information on Bluepeak service availability and details on the construction process can sign up for updates by entering their service address at mybluepeak.com. About Bluepeak Bluepeak is a new kind of internet provider bringing fast, reliable, affordable internet to places that have needed better options for too long.

Access to high-quality cable and internet services is essential for our residents and businesses, and having more options ensures that everyone can find a plan that best meets their needs. We look forward to the benefits that increased competition and improved infrastructure will bring," said Chanhassen Mayor Elise Ryan. Residential customers will be able to take advantage of Xfinity’s full suite of products, including Internet, video, mobile, voice and managed home solutions. For local businesses, Comcast Business will offer a suite of connectivity, communications, networking, cybersecurity, wireless, and managed solutions to help organizations of different sizes prepare for what’s next. Comcast Business has been consistently recognized by industry analysts and associations as a leader and innovator, and one of the fastest-growing providers of Ethernet services. “Reliable high-speed Internet is essential in today’s digital economy, which is why Comcast continues its commitment to connect more Twin Cities families and businesses to the moments that matter most,” said Kalyn Hove, Comcast Midwest Regional Senior Vice President. “We are expanding our fiber highways in Chanhassen, strategically investing in areas undergoing significant growth. By establishing the best broadband infrastructure today, we are securing the economic prosperity of these communities for tomorrow.” Comcast’s commitment to new communities goes beyond the build—addressing digital opportunities in communities through Project UP, the company’s $1 billion commitment to help tens of millions of people connect to the Internet and build futures of unlimited possibilities. Over the past three years, Comcast has invested more than $5 million in cash and in kind donations in the Twin Cities to help shrink the digital divide. The focus includes helping people build digital skills in the workforce, expanding WiFi connected Lift Zones and funding connectivity and internet adoption programs. The funding also supports ongoing efforts to build awareness about affordable connectivity services like Internet Essentials, which offers eligible households high-speed internet for $9.95/month or Internet Essentials Plus for $29.95/month. Affordable computers are also available through Internet Essentials. Since its inception in 2011, the program has connected more than 480,000 students, parents, veterans and seniors in Minnesota.
