Point Roberts, WA -- December 21,
2017 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Investorideas.com, a leader in
Blockchain content with its Bitcoin and Blockchain portals Bitcoinandblockchainstocks.com,

reports on recent developments in fintech and
cryptocurrency.
According to CoinMarketcap.com the value of cryptocurrencies as of
December 20th was $611,496,367,369 measuring 1368 cryptocurrencies.
With comments from Bloomberg like “Fintech plus cryptocurrency equals about $7
billion” regarding the recent rise of Longfin Corp. (NASDAQ: LFIN ), investors are on the
hunt for what’s next in the sector.
Fintech company Longfin Corp.’s
(NASDAQ: LFIN) stock saw a 2700%
increase following news of the acquisition of Ziddu.com, a
Blockchain-empowered solutions provider that offers Microfinance
Lending against Collateralized Warehouse Receipts in the form of
Ziddu Coins.
From the press
release: Ziddu Coin is a smart contract that enables
SME’s, processors, manufacturers, importers and exporters using
cryptocurrencies across continents. Ziddu Coins are loosely pegged
to Ethereum and Bitcoin. The importers/exporters convert offered
Ziddu coins into Ethereum or Bitcoin and use the proceeds for their
working capital needs. At the end of the contract,
importers/exporters will realize their proceeds and pay back their
funds through cryptocurrencies only. Depending upon the risk
profile of the counterparty, the interest will vary from 12% to
48%.
“The advent of Blockchain
technology has caught the imagination of the global financial
services industry; blockchain is emerging as a technological
revolution that is set to disrupt the financial services
infrastructure. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum will
act as a global financing currency to avail credit against hard
currencies of many emerging markets.” Says Venkat Meenavalli,
Chairman of Longfin Corp.
Longfin is a US-based, global
FinTech company powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine
Learning. The company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Stampede Tradex Pte. Ltd, delivers foreign exchange and finance
solutions to importers/exporters and SMEs. Longfin also provides
cryptocurrency-based financial service for importers/exporters with
Ziddu coins from its blockchain-empowered subsidiary Ziddu.com.
Currently, Longfin has operations in London, Singapore, Dubai, New
York, Miami and India.
In October Spindle, Inc. (OTCQB: SPDL), a provider of
unified commerce solutions reported that it has entered into a
binding letter of intent to acquire all of the shares of a
privately held and profitable payments processing company.
According to the 8K filed, Spindle will acquire 100% of the
ownership in VyaPay, LLC (https://www.vyapay.com/). According
to the filings the term sheet expires December 31, 2017. If
completed, it will give Spindle entry into the crypto space
according to a merchant processing site http://1f16.com/merchant-processing.
“VyaPay is the leader in the “New
Age”. Whether you are aware of Crypto-Currencies or not,
VyaPay is already the solution in taking and receiving today’s
leading Crypto-Currencies. As the World is changing, so is
the “Money” being used. You want to be with a progressive
leader in solving all of your Merchant Processing needs. Do
not lose business by being “Un-Accommodating” to all forms of Cash.

One small fintech company has made
its way to Davos as it focuses on the crypto/blockchain sector.
On December 12th Glance Technologies
Inc.(CSE:GET.CN)(OTCQB:GLNNF) announced that it
will be attending and speaking on a panel at the inaugural
Blockchain Davos event to be held in Davos, Switzerland - January
23 - 26, 2018. Glance will also be a sponsor of the
event.
From the Press
release: Each year in January, the top global leaders
gather in Davos from every country and sector to collaborate on
developing shared initiatives to improve the condition of our
world. Led by 2017's blockchain boom and the "Fourth Industrial
Revolution", Blockchain Davos is a gathering to build partnerships
for a decentralized future. Blockchain Davos is an exclusive invite
only conference for attendees. The event is timed to coincide with
the annual World Economic Forum, which is also being held in
Davos.
Glance is attending the event to
raise awareness of its upcoming cryptocurrency and to make further
inroads into the worldwide cryptocurrency and blockchain community.
Glance's planned cryptocurrency is a rewards based token that will
be granted as rewards to users of the Glance Pay mobile payment app
every time they spend on the Glance Pay mobile payment network,
whether they have paid with the new cryptocurrency or via other
payment methods. This strategy is intended to support rapid
adoption of the cryptocurrency to a broad range of consumers,
although the app will also be marketed to crypto users in leading
urban centers. Glance also intends to apply elements of its
anti-fraud technology to this cryptocurrency to reduce the risk
associated with converting traditional currencies to and from
cryptocurrencies.
Glance Technologies owns and
operates Glance Pay, a streamlined payment system that
revolutionizes how smartphone users choose where to dine, order
goods and services, make payments, access digital receipts, redeem
digital deals, earn great rewards & interact with
merchants
NetCents Technology Inc (CSE: NC / Frankfurt: 26N) just
announced on December 14th the development and imminent launch of a
proprietary cryptocurrency platform to round out the NC Exchange.
Yesterday, NetCents paused the ability of users to purchase Bitcoin
and Ethereum via the NC Exchange due to processing delays with the
Company's exchange partners.
Coinciding with the updated exchange
functionality, the Company will be launching a new, updated
website. The new website, eWallet, and NC Exchange will focus on
improving site usability and flow, thus streamlining the process
for site users.
