A Growing Statures Provides the Cryptocurrency Market with New Opportunities

NEW YORK, June 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- This year has taken the cryptocurrency market on a rollercoaster ride. As a result of the recent crypto boom earlier this year, many companies and organizations have become noticeably more open to blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. Yet, the record high prices didn't hold for long, as environmental concerns over the energy required to mine cryptocurrencies sent the prices down. However, the approach of financial institutions, businesses and even governments has significantly changed in recent years, as commercial payments are slowly warming up to the prospects of Bitcoin. One of the major reasons for this is that Bitcoin is faster, cheaper, safer and less volatile than the local currencies in many countries. Therefore, it can be used in these countries for storing value, besides being used to pay for many products and services around the world and on the Internet. For example, El Salvador just recently become the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, which could start a trend across other Latin American countries. ISW Holdings Inc.

For example, earlier this month, Hut 8 Mining Corp. had been approved for listing on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol "HUT" and Bitfarms Ltd. started trading on the NASDAQ earlier this week, on Monday, June 21st, under the symbol "BITF". "Listing on Nasdaq is an important achievement for Bitfarms and is a significant milestone following multiple years of development and achievement by the Company. We started this company four years ago with a clear belief in the institutional adoption of Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining," commented Emiliano Grodzki, Bitfarms' Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

As we continue to maximize our hashrate, we should see a reduction in proportional direct costs associated with mining operations. Naturally, we continue to lean on Robert and Bit5ive for expertise and support in translating our investment in this process into growing value.'
