10,000 prospective participants for its whole loan

recent discussions with a GSE active in the ten trillion-dollar US
residential mortgage market have served to highlight opportunities
for a synergistic partnership whereby Finzat would bring benefits
of blockchain applications to mature, well- established business

being negotiated. Finally, Finzat is scheduled to open
discussions before year-end with a European headquartered

institutional clients around the globe. Among the firm’s

final part of its Token, Generation Event. In total,
Shopin raised gross proceeds of $42,500,000. Block One
participated in the private presale portion of Shopin’s Token,
Generation Event which concluded at the end of January. The timing
and size of Block One’s participation precipitated a 66% token
bonus to Block One.
Shopin recently announced a partnership with QRYPTOS, a
subsidiary of QUOINE, one of the largest exchanges in Asia (and one
of the few licensed exchanges in Japan). Shopin has announced that
it believes this is an opportunity for it to expand awareness of
its innovative work and community as well as its upcoming Q4
launch. Shopin also announced the additional sale of additional
tokens at $0.16. Block One believes its investment in Shopin
reflects strong value creation for its shareholders as the original
USD$750,000 participation with 66% bonus tokens is now valued at
close to USD $2,000,00, reflecting a return of nearly 2.5 times its
original investment.
