BAND Royalty Revolutionizing the Music Royalty Ecosystem 1 Ethereum at a time

Entertainment fintech firm BAND Royalty has created an NFT art offering that starts at only 1 Ethereum per NFT art piece. Each NFT art piece gives anyone holding it access to the secretive world of buying and selling music royalties. Using a new type of art NFT that is also a music NFT DeFi opportunity, BAND Royalty has developed a utility for its art NFTs that allows fans to connect to their favorite music artists and share in their income, through music royalties.
The top 3 one of a kind NFTs in the BAND Royalty limited edition music NFT series, entitled “Every time it’s played”, secured more than $200,000 in Ethereum equivalence in a private presale, with the remainder of the music NFT artwork available for an exclusive sale directly on their website. With 15 curated images distributed over 8 different rarity levels this unique NFT series is the first of its kind to have a built in defi-component developed right into its purpose.
The NFTs can be staked for revenue shared into various DeFi royalty pools tied to select song catalogs that have songs performed by artists such as Beyonce, Cher, Justin Timberlake, and Rihanna.
BAND has debuted a one-of-a-kind music industry, the only NFT marketplace to trade their NFTs and eventually to open it up as a whole to the music industry. This is just a small part of the company’s ongoing growth and development plans.

Music industry revenue machine disruptor BAND Royalty is pairing DeFi innovation with digital Hi-Fi wizardry to democratize the way fans enjoy connecting with celebrities and the way performers own their brands.

BAND Royalty’s non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) appeal to the collectibles market, delivering distinctive 3D artwork for each limited-edition series. The NFTs will also be able to be staked, in order to gain access to a library of music royalties held by BAND, meaning that the NFTs can be contractually secured to BAND’s platform for a period of time to prevent their value trading elsewhere.

In the model developed by BAND, this series of NFTs only contains 3,000 distinct art pieces, using 15 curated images celebrating music’s diversity of people and genres with a DeFi utility divided into eight different rarity levels. Anyone can get started with the largest rarity level having 1500 vinyl NFTs selling for only 1 ETH. Each one of the vinyl NFTs can be staked to one of BAND’s three royalty pools. So the more vinyl NFTs you own, the more staking spots you can carve out for yourself. The lowest numbered rarity in the series that BAND Royalty produced was the #1 one of a kind NFT art piece known as the “double diamond album”, worth 25 ETH or $100,000, which sold within 48 hours of the pre-sale announcement and is stake-able to all the royalty pools, with an additional BAND token being airdropped to owner once the company’s crypto ecosystem is launched in summer 2021.

When staking starts, BAND’s NFTs will grant NFT holders access to a percentage of the music royalty revenue being generated by the extensive and diverse BAND Royalty music catalog. Each of the royalty types have been divided into three different music pools: publishing of printed music, public and mechanical performances of the music, and synchronization with visual media such as film, advertisements, or video games.

BAND NFT stakers will participate in the revenue of songs performed by musicians such as Cher, Beyonce, will.i.am and Justin Timberlake, and various other performers as the catalog grows. Although the royalty staking does not transfer ownership of copyright or royalties possessed by the artist and by BAND, respectively, revenue from the royalty shares can give fans a feeling of owning a piece of their favorite artist’s success.

The power of BAND’s vision was realized in the limited access private pre-sale of part of its first series, which netted 60 ETH for the top three albums — equivalent to more than $200,000 in Ethereum exchange at the time. The pre-sale brought in an overall total of more than $700,000 in Ethereum equivalence, according to the company’s news release (https://nnw.fm/1WvLh) in the various eight rarity levels.

The public sale of the NFTs initially took place on Open Sea, the world’s largest NFT marketplace, but BAND has since created its own first-ever music-only NFT marketplace, which it operates through its website as the company continues to develop its vision of democratizing music royalty revenues.

Chalice Brands Ltd. (CSE: CHAL) (OTCQB: GLDFF) Leadership Team Working to Deliver on Show-Me Story

Quarter growth, cash flow key metrics indicate company moving in the right direction
Chalice reported record quarterly revenues from continuing operations of $5.5 million, increase in gross profit margin
“Continued profitable operations and accretive acquisitions should set us up for a record-breaking second half of 2021,” says CEO

In a past Bloomberg video interview, Stonecastle Investment Management president Bruce Campbell commented on Golden Leaf Holdings (https://nnw.fm/DlLkf), a premier consumer-driven cannabis company that earlier this month finalized a name change to Chalice Brands (CSE: CHAL) (OTCQB: GLDFF). In his comments, Campbell outlined what he felt needed to happen in order for the company to become a potential investment.

“The new management team that’s taken over are good operators,” said Campbell, after noting the company’s previous erractic performance. “But what we need to see from them is probably see a couple of quarters of progress, and showing that they’re heading in the right direction. And we probably need them to sort of generate some cash flow, so that they don’t have to continue to raise money.

“When we get that, I suspect the stock prices starts to move. But it’s probably going to be a little bit of a show-me story until they get to that point,” he continued, noting that the stock was one that Stonecastle has its eyes on. “We’ve met with the management team a couple of times, and they certainly know the business and understand the business; it’s a function of sort of right sizing everything.” The leadership team that Campbell referenced has focused on doing exactly that: right sizing the company so it becomes an option that, like Campbell, savvy investors take a close look at.

This week, Chalice released its financial and operating results for Q1 2021, with numbers that reflect the progess Campbell outlined was necessary (https://nnw.fm/jDQA3). The company reported record quarterly revenues from continuing operations of $5.5 million, a 18% year-over-year increase compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2020, and gross profit for the quarter of $2.5 million, or 45% gross margin compared to $1.7 million, or 37% gross margin in 2020. In addition, the report noted that adjusted EBITDA of approximately 7%, or $370,000, continues the trend from Q4 2020, demonstrating that Oregon covers corporate overhead costs.

“Continued profitable operations and accretive acquisitions should set us up for a record-breaking second half of 2021,” said Chalice Brands CEO, Jeff Yapp. “We continue to look forward to favorable federal regulation changes while we grow Fifth & Root to showcase our brand portfolio nationally. Our team is energized and focused on growth as we remain disciplined in our allocation of capital.”

Chalice Brands is a premier consumer-driven cannabis company specializing in production, processing, wholesale, distribution and retail, with seven dispensaries in Portland, Oregon. The Company is committed to developing a dynamic portfolio built around the recognized brands of Chalice Farms, with a focus on health and wellness. Chalice operates nationally through Fifth and Root and has operations in Oregon and California.

Pac Roots Cannabis Corp.’s (CSE: PACR) (OTCQB: PACRF) (FSE: 4XM) Relentless Focus on Quality Begins to Pay Dividends

Recreational marijuana sales in Canada have been slow to take off despite legalization in October 2018 but look to be on the rise
A survey carried out in February 2021 revealed that 40% of Canadian marijuana consumers still resorted to illegal means to obtain product due to poor quality of legal marijuana, lack of stock at retail outlets
Pac Roots Cannabis seeks to avoid peers’ fate through relentless focus on premium-quality strains, coupled with strategic licensing agreement with Phenome One Corp
Earlier this year, Canada’s legal market was shown to have finally overtaken illicit sales, commanding 56% of sector turnover

“The legal stuff is garbage”—so read a Reddit user’s comment on one of Vancouver’s cannabis-focused reddit feed earlier this year. Recreational marijuana was legalized across Canada in October of 2018 (https://nnw.fm/zuHjY); however, since then, legal recreational marijuana sales have been slow to take off. Remarkably, a Canadian government survey released in February 2021 (https://nnw.fm/4bKB5) found that 40% of the country’s marijuana consumers admitted to having obtained the drug illegally since legalization – largely a result of the poor quality inherent to legal produce as well as a distinct lack of retail store locations. In the face of this, innovative cannabis up-and-comers are raising the quality bar. Pac Roots Cannabis (CSE: PACR) (OTCQB: PACRF) (FSE: 4XM), a Canadian cannabis company dedicated to producing premium-quality strains and products by leveraging a genetics-focused approach, has sought to address the poor reputation of legal Canadian marijuana through a relentless focus on cutting-edge cultivation techniques.

Pac Roots has entered into a strategic licensing agreement with Phenome One Corp, granting Pac Roots access to one of Canada’s largest live genetic cannabis libraries with lab and field-tested, selectively bred seedlings, which the company has employed to grow, breed and clone their own unique brands. The tie-up in turn has allowed Pac Roots to offer its customers a remarkable portfolio of over 350 meticulously designed cultivars, ranging from CBD-dominant plants with rare terpene profiles to plants with over 30% THC-content as well as West Coast outdoor, botrytis-resistant cultivars.

“Preserving the excellence of our elite strains while introducing the highest quality of new strains to the public is our passion,” Pac Roots Cannabis states on its website. “Genetic variation and stability are the foundation that drives the decision making for our business” (https://nnw.fm/Z3Ip2).

At least part of Phenome’s expertise lies in its state-of-the-art growing systems that are carefully designed to incorporate proprietary nutrient regimes with experience in all growing mediums. Phenome One’s elite line of rigorously tested production cultivars consists of hundreds of cultivars that have a minimum of nine commercial production cycles.

Pac Roots has thus sought to avoid the fate of companies such as sector leader Canopy Growth (TSE: WEED), which has seen its market capitalization decline from over $24 billion in April 2019 to just over $8 billion at present (https://nnw.fm/1cFKf). In early 2020, Canopy Growth announced that it would be closing two cultivation greenhouses in British Columbia while simultaneously cancelling plans for a third greenhouse in Ontario. At the time, Canopy Growth’s management blamed the cutbacks on Canada’s recreational market, which they said had “developed slower than anticipated.”

However, the Canadian recreational marijuana market may now be turning the corner. Earlier this year, data revealed that the legal market had finally overtaken illicit sales, accounting for 56% of sector turnover (https://nnw.fm/R6KKW). Meanwhile, retail locations are now proliferating; about 50 locations a month are now opening in Ontario, leading prices to decline by approximately 20 percent since legalization due to the fierce competition among hundreds of licensed producers.

With Canada’s legalized marijuana market finally on an upswing, Pac Roots Cannabis Corp.’s relentless focus on high-quality cultivars and marijuana products may place it in the ideal position to benefit from rising demand from an increasingly discerning Canadian retail consumer base.

Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (GRYN) Joins Forces with Mexican Scientific Body, Creates New Company to Research Endocannabinoid Deficiencies

Green Hygienics has launched TruLife Biotech LLC. to focus on the development and advancement of innovative cannabinoid-based nutraceutical and skincare products and brands
The global industrial hemp market was valued at $5.66 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach a value of $27.72 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 25.17%
Hemp-derived cannabinoids have been studied for the last 20 years with nothing more than pre-clinical data but the new collaboration with Cinvestav and the creation of TruLife Biotech can help answer these questions and develop the products necessary for ECS deficiencies

Green Hygienics Holdings (OTCQB: GRYN), a California-based tech-driven enterprise focused on the high standard cultivation of industrial hemp and manufacturing of pharmaceutical-grade bioactive cannabinoids, recently announced that to advance R&D efforts, it has entered into a scientific research collaboration agreement with Cinvestav, the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico (Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politécnico Nacional) (https://nnw.fm/KZ4yc).

Cinvestav is a high-ranked, leading Mexican multidisciplinary scientific research institute that will work with Green Hygienics in R&D efforts to develop cannabinoid-based products targeting the endocannabinoid system (“ECS”) deficiencies in animals and humans. Cinvestav ranks fourth among Latin American research centers and 118th worldwide.

Green Hygienics is also launching TruLife Biotech, LLC. to advance studies in hemp-derived cannabinoid therapies, like the research conducted with Cinvestav. The focus of TruLife Biotech will be the development and advancement of innovative cannabinoid-based nutraceuticals, skincare products, and wellness brands addressing the ECS deficiencies in humans (https://nnw.fm/FyofA).

“This research collaboration will be our first project under TruLife Biotech LLC, a Green Hygienics Company focused on the development and advancement of innovative cannabinoid-based nutraceutical and skincare products and brands,” Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Levan Darjania said. “The collaboration with Cinvestav will augment ongoing efforts by both parties to identify and explore selected cannabinoids and terpenes in planned combinations that may act synergistically to protect against pain development and determine their potential efficacy as pain relievers against inflammatory and neuropathic pain.”

It is the collaborative model that Green Hygienics and Cinvestav will develop that will be used to create proprietary and effective products. “Discovery and development of cannabinoid-based products that are truly effective in producing the desired result are global tasks that are based on multidisciplinary approaches, collaborations, and partnerships. After meeting with leading researchers at Cinvestav’s Mexico City Campus, we are confident in our collaboration on the development of new and efficacious products,” COO Kyle MacKinnon added.

Even though the interaction of hemp-derived cannabinoids and the body’s ECS has been studied for the last 20 years, there is only pre-clinical data available. Still, the question that arises is how much of that data is genuine and useful. The company intends to use the new collaboration and TruLife Biotech formation to help answer these questions and develop the products necessary for ECS deficiencies, according to Dr. Darjania.

To further support the initiative, Green Hygienics has published a White Paper through Nutritional Outlook, an MJH Life Sciences(TM) brand that provides intelligent, well-informed insights and industry updates critical to the manufacturers of dietary supplements, health foods, and nutritional beverages.

The White Paper examines the therapeutic potential for cannabinoid health- and wellness-based products, but underlines the need to develop defined, consistent, and targeted products with established standards. The ultimate goal is to develop and promote scientific evidence-based ECS-modulating cannabinoid products that will be trusted by medical communities, physicians, holistic health practitioners, and wellness-oriented end users (https://nnw.fm/Cc2ax).

According to Dr. Darjania, Green Hygienics remains committed to changing the landscape of the industry and continuing the advancement of its hemp-derived cannabinoid phyto-remedy platform, with TruLife serving as a hub of biotechnology innovations and ultimately securing a strategic advantage in the market by introducing novel cannabinoids and biodelivery methods. These steps will help cement Green Hygienics’ role in the global hemp market, which was valued at $5.66 billion worldwide in 2020. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25.17% from 2021 to 2028, resulting in an estimated value of $27.72 billion by 2028 (https://nnw.fm/ohwqs) and multiple expansion opportunities for Green Hygienics and its portfolio.
