Bridging Traditional Finance and Digital Assets

The First Publicly Listed Payment Service Provider for the Digital Asset Industry

Banxa Holdings Inc. (TSX-V:BNXA) (OTCQX:BNXAF) (FSE:AC00) is a Payment Service Provider (PSP) on a mission to bridge the gap between traditional financial systems and the digital asset space. Their goal is to introduce the general public to digital currency by building a fully compliant payment infrastructure that enables simple and secure conversion of fiat currency to digital currency (eg. USD/CAD to BTC/ETH). As the adoption of crypto currencies becomes more widespread, we think that Banxa will become the leading PSP in the digital asset space.

The Future of Digital Transactions

Increasing Interest in Digital Assets – According to a Facts and Factors report, the global cryptocurrency market in 2019 was valued at $792M, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 30% through 2026, when it is projected to surpass $5T. At this point, even traditional financial giants are taking notice. JP Morgan has released their own ecoin and other big banks are looking to offer digital asset products as well. Tesla is already heavily invested in Bitcoin, and crypto diversification is becoming more normal across many businesses. This growth in mainstream adoption makes Banxa an integral part of the future of finance. Between March and September of 2021 alone, Banxa added 17 new coins to their portfolio, including AAVE, Dogecoin, Enjin Coin, CELO, Avalanche, Compound and MATIC/Polygon. Together, the additions represent a combined trading volume of $8.5 billion USD. 

A Hedge Against Crypto Volatility – Everyone knows that crypto currencies are subject to massive swings in value; so while there is no doubt that digital assets will be an important part of future markets, some people are not sold on the relative risk of investing directly in a digital coin. Banxa represents an excellent hedge, because its value is tied to trading volumes and transactions, not the value of the coins themselves. 

Excellent Financials – Banxa has experienced massive growth, posting $21M in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, up 1,479% from $1.3M during the same period in 2020. By September, the company recorded a total monthly transaction value of $117.5 AUD, a 34% increase over the previous month and a 4125 increase from the previous year. Overall, Banxa is in a great financial position for sustained growth and profitability. 

Proven Model – PayPal, Stripe, Square, and plenty of others have proven that the PSP model is incredibly valuable and scalable. Banxa has an edge as the first publicly listed PSP that bridges the gap between traditional payments and crypto, and if the success of previous PSP businesses indicate anything, it’s that Banxa could soon be a household name. 

Leader in Compliance – Crypto can still seem a little bit intimidating due to its origins and deregulated nature, but Banxa is focused on reliability, transparency, and security. This goes a long way toward capturing B2B business, as shown by their webpage of client case studies. Banxa currently has multiple digital asset licences and registrations globally, and a full Anti Money Laundering/Know Your Customer compliance platform. By leading the charge for compliance, they are positioning themselves as the most trustworthy PSP for digital assets on the market.

 

 

Picks and Shovels

Let’s be very clear about something, Banxa is NOT a crypto exchange. Rather, they serve as the “picks and shovels” of the crypto industry, allowing businesses to convert fiat currency to crypto for their customers. 

Think of Banxa as a card reader at a brick-and-mortar store; it doesn’t really matter too much what the store is offering or what currency the customer is paying with, Banxa is there to facilitate the transaction. 

Because of this, Banxa’s value is not based on the price of Bitcoin or what have you, but the volume of transactions. It doesn’t matter if someone is buying or selling, Banxa is the middle man taking a small percentage from the merchant. And total transaction volume is up. Way up. 

 

 

As you can see from the graph, Banxa’s year-over-year TTV grew from $26M-$205M. That is an impressive increase, and we think it will only compound as cryptocurrencies gain popularity. At the time of this writing, the total aggregate value of the crypto market is about $2T, with no sign of shrinking. 

Add to that, Banxa is already working with some of the biggest names in crypto: Abra, Binance, Changelly, Edge, and more. Their platform supports all digital assets, and is compatible with other mainstream payment methods like debit/credit cards, Interac e-transfers, bank transfer, and Apple Pay. 

 

The Best Play in Crypto is Currently Undervalued

When we look at a crypto exchange like Coinbase, with a market cap of roughly $48B, we see a hyped-up stock tied directly to the value of the crypto market that fell by almost half in just a few months. Banxa on the other hand, with their current market cap of just $116M, has plenty of room to grow and is a better value given their price and trajectory. The company reported a $687M AUD Total Transaction Value for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, which marked a 755% year-on-year increase and contributed to a 500% year-on-year increase in revenue at $45 M AUD.

Everyone is looking to find a great angle on the crypto market, and we think focusing on a payment gateway like Banxa is going to be one that pays off. The service they offer is essential for democratizing and simplifying the buying and selling of crypto, and very few companies are able to offer the compliance platform that Banxa does. As the leading digital asset PSP in Canada and Australia, they are a proven entity with the momentum to propel them to a global scale. This is a crypto play that we are truly excited about. 

 

Looking Ahead

Banxa is still a young company in a new market. As the market matures, we expect Banxa to mature (and grow) with it. It’s clear that crypto isn’t going anywhere, and a compliance focused payment gateway is the hinge that the market’s continued growth pivots on. Banxa handles all of the regulatory issues that could potentially hold up transactions for their customers, enabling a smooth process of fiat-to-crypto exchanges. 

The Banxa team is ready to grow their B2B client base from 63 to 500, and expand services into new countries. There are plenty of opportunities in the crypto space yet to be mined, and Banxa is in an excellent position to capitalize on market trends. 

We are bullish on Banxa from a financial perspective alone, and with growing interest in cryptocurrency around the globe, we have a real gem in Banxa. If things keep trending the way they are now, we think they just might end up being the Stripe of digital assets.

DISCLAIMER

Who are we and what do we do? We are paid advertisers, also known as stock touts or stock promoters, who disseminate favorable information (the “Information”) about publicly traded companies (the “Profiled Issuers”). How is the Information published? We publish the Information on our Website, in newsletters, audio services, live interviews, featured “research” reports, on message boards and in email communications for specific time periods that are agreed upon between us and the Profiled Issuer or third party paying us. Our publication of the Information is known as a “Campaign”. Will everyone receive the Information at the same time? No. The Information may be sent to potential investors at different times that are minutes, hours, days or even weeks apart. How is a potential investor impacted if he receives the Information later than other investors? Typically, the trading volume and price of a Profiled Issuer’s securities increases after the Information is provided to the first group of investors. Therefore, the later an investor receives the Information, the more likely it is that he will suffer increased trading losses if he purchases the securities of a Profiled Issuer. What will happen to the shares that we hold during the Campaign? We will sell the shares we hold while we tell investors to purchase during the Campaign. What will happen when the Campaign ends? Most, if not all, of the Profiled Issuers are penny stocks that are illiquid and whose securities are subject to wide fluctuations in trading price and volume. During the Campaign the trading volume and price of the securities of each Profiled Issuer will likely increase significantly. When the Campaign ends, the volume and price of the Profiled Issuer will likely decrease dramatically. As a result, investors who purchase during the Campaign and hold shares of the Profiled Issuer when the Campaign ends will probably lose most, if not all, of their investment. Why do we publish only favorable Information? We only publish favorable information because we are compensated to publish only favorable information. Why don’t we publish negative Information? We don’t publish negative information because we are not paid to publish negative information. We are paid to publish only favorable information. Is the Information complete, accurate, truthful or reliable? No. The Information is a snapshot that provides only positive information about the Profiled Issuers. The Information consists of only positive content. We do not and will not publish any negative information about the Profiled Issuers; accordingly, investors should consider the Information to be one-sided and not balanced, complete, accurate, truthful or reliable. What we do not do? We do not publish negative information about the Profiled Issuers. We do not verify or confirm any portion of the Information. We do not conduct any due diligence, nor do we research any aspect of the Information including the completeness, accuracy, truthfulness or reliability of the Information. We do not review the Profiled Issuers’ financial condition, operations, business model, management or risks involved in the Profiled Issuer’s business or an investment in a Profiled Issuer’s securities. Where does the Information come from? The Information is provided to us by the Profiled Issuers and/or the person who hires us. We may also obtain the Information from publicly available sources such as the OTC Markets, Google, NASDAQ, NYSE, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Edgar database or other available public sources. If we say we make “stock picks,” are those picks our own? No, they are not. We are compensated to advertise the securities we are told to advertise. What will happen if an investor relies on the Information? If an investor relies on the Information in making an investment decision it is highly probable that the investor will lose most, if not all, of his or her investment. Investors should not rely on the Information to make an investment decision. Who pays us to publish the Information? The source of our compensation varies depending upon the particular circumstances of the Campaign. We are compensated by the Profiled Issuers, third party shareholders and other parties related to the Profiled Issuers such as officers and/or directors who will derive a financial or other benefit from an increase in the trading price and/or volume of a Profiled Issuer’s securities. The nature and amount of compensation we receive for publishing the Information about each Profiled Issuer and our ownership of each Profiled Issuer is set forth below under the heading captioned, “What we are compensated”.

No. There are numerous risks associated with each Profiled Issuer and investors should undertake a full review of each Profiled Issuer with the assistance of their financial, legal, and tax advisers prior to purchasing the securities of any Profiled Issuer. What conflicts of interest do we have in publishing the Information? We are not objective or independent and have multiple conflicts of interest.

  • We do not publish any negative information whatsoever about the Profiled Issuers;
  • We may own a Profiled Issuer’s securities that we acquired from the Profiled Issuer, third parties or from our own open market purchases before, during or after the Campaign and we may sell these securities during the Campaign while publishing the (favorable) information that instructs investors to purchase. Our selling of a Profiled Issuer’s securities will likely cause investors to suffer losses;
  • A short time after we acquire a Profiled Issuer’s securities, we may publish the (favorable) Information about the Profiled Issuer advising others, including you, to purchase; and while doing so, we may sell the Profiled Issuer’s securities we acquired during our public dissemination of the Information causing us to profit while you suffer a loss;
  • Parties holding a Profiled Issuer’s securities, including those who engage our services and/or compensate us, will sell their shares of the Profiled Issuer while we are publishing the (favorable) Information.
Who is responsible if an investor relies on the Information? The investor. We are not responsible or liable for any person’s use of the Information or any success or failure that is directly or indirectly related to such person’s use of the Information because we have specifically stated that the information is not reliable and should not be relied upon for any purpose. We are not responsible for omissions or errors in the Information, and we are not responsible for actions taken by any person who relies upon the Information. What do we urge potential investors to do? We urge Investors to conduct their own in-depth investigation of the Profiled Issuers with the assistance of their legal, tax and investment advisers. An investor’s review of the Information should include but not be limited to the Profiled Issuer’s financial condition, operations, management, products or services, trends in the industry and risks that may be material to the profiled Issuer’s business and other information he and his advisers deem material to an investment decision. An investor’s review should include, but not be limited to a review of available public sources and information received directly from the Profiled Issuers or from websites such as Google, OTC Markets, NASDAQ, NYSE, www.sec.gov or other available public sources. Why is this Disclaimer being provided? We are providing you with this disclaimer because we are publishing advertisements about penny stocks. Because we are paid to disseminate the Information to the public about securities, we are required by the securities laws including Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to specifically disclose our compensation as well as other important information, This information includes that we may hold, as well as purchase and sell, the securities of a Profiled Issuer before, during and after we publish favorable Information about the Profiled Issuer. We may urge investors to purchase the securities of a Profiled Issuer while we sell our own shares. The anti-fraud provisions of federal and state securities laws require us to inform you that we may engage in buying and selling of Profiled Issuer’s securities before, during and after the Campaigns. What are other risks that investors should be aware of? Any investment in the Profiled Issuers involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. The securities may be subject to extreme volume and price volatility, especially during the Campaigns. Favorable past performance of a Profiled Issuer does not guarantee future results. If you purchase the securities of the Profiled Issuers, you should be prepared to lose your entire investment. Some of the risks involved in purchasing securities of the Profiled Issuers include, but are not limited to the risks stated below.
  • We do not endorse, independently verify or assert the truthfulness, completeness, accuracy or reliability of the Information. We conduct no due diligence or investigation whatsoever of the Information or the Profiled Issuers and we do not receive any verification from the Profiled Issuer regarding the Information we disseminate.
  • If we publish any percentage gain of a Profiled Issuer from the previous day close in the Information, it is not and should not be construed as an indication that the future stock price or future operational results will reflect gains or otherwise prove to be advantageous to your investment.
  • The Information may contain statements asserting that a Profiled Issuer’s stock price has increased over a certain period of time which may reflect an arbitrary period of time, and is not predictive or of any analytical quality; as such, you should not rely upon the (favorable) Information in your analysis of the present or future potential of a Profiled Issuer or its securities.
  • The Information should not be interpreted in any way, shape, form or manner whatsoever as an indication of the Profiled Issuer’s future stock price or future financial performance.
  • You may encounter difficulties determining what, if any, portions of the Information are material or non-material, making it all the more imperative that you conduct your own independent investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities with the assistance of your legal, tax and financial advisor.
  • We or other stock promoters may receive free trading shares as compensation or we may acquire such shares in open market transactions before and during the Campaigns, and we may sell the shares we acquire at any time, even during the Campaigns while publishing the Favorable Information. When we sell the shares of the Profiled Issuers that we hold, the price at which investors can sell their shares will dramatically decrease and will likely cause investors to suffer trading losses.
  • We may sell securities of the Profiled Issuers for less than target prices set forth in the Information, and we may profit by selling our securities during the Campaigns while investors encounter losses.
  • When we acquire, purchase or sell the securities of the Profiled Issuers, it may (a) cause significant volatility in the Profiled Issuer’s securities; (b) cause temporary but unrealistic increases in volume and price of the Profiled Issuer’s securities; (c) if selling, cause the Profiled Issuer’s stock price to decline dramatically; and (d) permit us to make substantial profits while investors who purchase during the Campaign experience significant losses.
  • The securities of the Profiled Issuers are high risk, unstable, unpredictable and illiquid which may make it difficult for investors to sell their securities of the Profiled Issuers.
  • If we are compensated in improperly free trading securities of the Profiled Issuers, either directly or indirectly from persons who claim to be non-affiliates of such Profiled Issuer, we and the Profiled Issuer or third party could be subject to SEC Enforcement Action, including allegations of an illegal distribution in violation of Section 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act.
  • We may hire third party service providers and stock promoters to electronically disseminate live news regarding the Profiled Issuers, yet we have no control over the content of and do not verify the information that the Profiled Issuers and/or third party service providers publish. These third party service providers are likely compensated for providing positive information about the Issuer and fail to disclose their compensation to you.
If a Profiled Issuer is an SEC reporting company, it could be delinquent (not current) in its periodic reporting obligations (i.e., in its quarterly and annual reports), or if it is an OTC Markets Pink Sheet quoted company, it may be delinquent in its Pink Sheet reporting obligations, which may result in OTC Markets posting a negative legend pertaining to the Profiled Issuer at www.otcmarkets.com, as follows: (i) “Limited Information” for companies with financial reporting problems, economic distress, or that are unwilling to file required reports with the Pink Sheets; (ii) “No Information,” which characterizes companies that are unable or unwilling to provide any disclosure to the public markets, to the SEC or the Pink Sheets; and (iii) “Caveat Emptor,” signifying buyers should be aware that there is a public interest concern associated with a company’s illegal spam campaign, questionable stock promotion, known investigation of a company’s fraudulent activity or its insiders, regulatory suspensions or disruptive corporate actions. If the Information states that a Profiled Issuer’s securities are consistent with the future economic trends or even if your independent research indicates that, you should be aware that economic trends have their own limitations, including: (a) that economic trends or predictions may be speculative; (b) consumers, producers, investors, borrowers, lenders and government may react in unforeseen ways and be affected by behavioral biases that we are unable to predict; (c) human and social factors may outweigh future economic trends that we state may or will occur; (d) clear cut economic predictions have their limitations in that they do not account for the fundamental uncertainty in economic life, as well as ordinary life; (e) economic trends may be disrupted by sudden jumps, disruptions or other factors that are not accounted for in economic trends analysis; in other words, past or present data predicting future economic trends may become irrelevant in light of new circumstances and situations in which uncertainty becomes reality rather than predicted economic outcome; or (f) if the trend predicted involves a single result, it ignores other scenarios that may be crucial to make a decision in the event of unknown contingencies. The Information is presented only as a brief snapshot of the Profiled Issuer and should only be used, at most, and if at all, as a starting point for you to conduct a thorough investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities. You should consult your financial, legal or other adviser(s) and avail yourself of the filings and information that may be accessed at www.sec.govwww.sec.gov, www.otcmarkets.com or other electronic media, including: (a) reviewing SEC periodic reports (Forms 10-Q and 10-K), reports of material events (Form 8-K), insider reports (Forms 3, 4, 5 and Schedule 13D); (b) reviewing Information and Disclosure Statements and unaudited financial reports filed with the OTCMarkets.com; (c) obtaining and reviewing publicly available information contained in commonly known search engines such as Google; and (d) consulting investment guides at www.sec.gov and www.finra.org. You should always be cognizant that the Profiled Issuers may not be current in their reporting obligations with the SEC and the OTC Markets and/or have negative legends and designations at otcmarkets.com.
