Award-winning Fintech Pynk are poised to pay $100K to their community

London, UK, 21 May 2021, ZEXPRWIRE, Founded in 2018, Pynk made something of a splash when they exploded onto the Fintech scene with their quirky, hybrid version of community powered investing and education, but things have been quiet on the home front as the Coronavirus pandemic hit, but it seems like that is just about to change… 

WHAT IS PYNK?

  • At its heart, Pynk is a gamified predictions platform. By making daily price predictions on assets such as Bitcoin, gold and NASDAQ, users are rewarded in their native Wisdom Points (WPs).
  • Once a user has gathered enough Wisdom Points, they can redeem those points as a cash value.
  • Pynk has created a fun space to ‘collaborate, innovate, learn and discuss for the growing retail market’, via their community forum.
  • They also have a range of other features, such as their Fantasy Fund Manager, Instagram style action feed, and regular competitions and prizes for their top contributors.

The issue has been that, primarily due to UK regulations, the ability to redeem WPs has been locked, Until now…

BACK WITH A BANG

At the time of writing, with the UK emerging, bleary-eyed from a 3rd lockdown, Pynk are once again getting ready to bring some noise – something they have become quite synonymous within the Fintech scene (think an army of Pink Jackets and LED flashing backpacks parading through the streets of Portugal’s Pink district). This time, they are set to release a jaw-dropping $100K to their beloved community of price predictors.

WAIT…WHAT?

Sources close to the Pynk camp have reliably informed one user of $100K divided out amongst their prediction community, with the most rewards going to the hardest working, longest serving ‘Pynksters’. That’s not even the end! With an average of $15K paid out every quarter, Pynk would seem to be a legitimate way to make a few extra bucks in any participant’s spare time (It’s better than filling out surveys, right?). With a global community from far-flung regions of the globe, and with features such as trading signals due to market this year, Pynk would seem to be working hard towards their goal of ‘Democratising Finance’, regardless of geographic location or economic background.

Lofty goals indeed!

If you’d like to try Pynk for yourself, head on over to pynk.io and complete the simple registration process. Registration is free and open to people from any part of the world.

Award-winning Carbon Broker to Assist XELS with Offset Procurement and Strategy

Redshaw Advisors will support XELS mission of increasing participation in carbon markets in Japan and beyond.

Tokyo, Japan, 30th April, 2021, ZEXPRWIRE, — XELS, a revolutionary blockchain-based carbon offset platform has announced that it has joined forces with renowned carbon brokerage and risk management firm Redshaw Advisors. Under the collaboration, Redshaw Advisors will provide strategic advisory, consulting, and procurement of carbon credits for XELS.

Immutable Carbon Offsets

Initially focused on the voluntary carbon credit segment, XELS launched its blockchain platform and eponymous digital asset earlier this month. The startup’s tokenized offset credits, which exist on an immutable public ledger, are designed to boost both transparency and participation in carbon markets. 

Unlike traditional carbon credits, XELS cannot be modified or double spent, and the process of “burning” used tokens ensures the credit is retired forever. Anyone with access to a computer and an internet connection (from eco-conscious individuals to corporations who are serious about tackling climate change) can buy and trade XELS. 

XELS and Redshaw LTD

By working with Redshaw Advisors, XELS will be able to ensure the legitimacy of each credit it tokenizes, while also providing an additional record of the credit’s retirement in the Redshaw Advisors’ registry account. Upon retirement, Redshaw Advisors will also issue certificates that XELS’ clients can use to show the exact amount of CO2 they’ve neutralized.

Bill Goldie, Head of Voluntary Market at Redshaw Advisors, stated that:

“Redshaw are delighted to have been given the opportunity to advise, consult, and procure for XELS across carbon markets – compliance and voluntary – and renewable energy,” 

Regulated “Compliance” Credits

In the future, XELS seeks to offer regulated “compliance” credits in addition to voluntary offset credits. The startup is in advanced discussions with a number of Japanese corporations that wish to significantly curtail their environmental impact, in line with Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s goal of reaching net zero domestic emissions by 2050.

XELS founder and CEO Takeshi Nojima explains the two companies progression towards fighting global warming:

“In many ways, Japan is playing catch up with the rest of the world, and the European Union in particular,”

Takeshi stated that XELS will become the easiest, most transparent way for businesses to join the fight against global warming, and that the company will be able to provide clear proof of their commitment – backed by Redshaw Advisors. He added that this is something consumers appreciate, and will eventually come to expect from the companies that they support.

About XELS

XELS Limited was founded in 2017, with offices in Tokyo and Hong Kong, and is a member of the Climate Chain Coalition. XELS tokens can be obtained on the Bittrex Global and MXC cryptocurrency exchanges.

About Redsaw

Redshaw Advisors, founded in 2014, with a long track record of success in the European carbon markets, has a growing presence in voluntary markets. Among numerous industry accolades, Redshaw Advisors was named Best Trading Company and Best Advisory/Consultancy for EU ETS credits, Voluntary Carbon Market, and Renewable Energy Certificates in 2020.
