PrimeXBT: A revolutionary crypto futures platform

Benzinga

In a world where cryptocurrency trading is becoming more prevalent, there is a need for a platform that caters to traders who want to take advantage of the volatility of cryptocurrencies. PrimeXBT is a platform that offers users access to a wide range of cryptocurrencies, traditional asset CFDs, copy trading, contests, and an extensive trading academy. This review will explain why PrimeXBT is a revolutionary crypto futures platform. Advanced trading tools and a user-friendly interface PrimeXBT offers a highly intuitive and user-friendly interface designed to cater to novice and experienced traders. The platform provides a high degree of customization, allowing users to tailor the platform to their specific needs. This includes the ability to customize the trading interface's layout and choose from various technical analysis tools. The platform's user interface is easy to navigate, and traders can choose from a wide range of order types, including limit, market, and stop orders. The platform also offers advanced charting tools, customizable workspaces, and a variety of technical indicators, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced traders. Unmatched selection of cryptocurrencies One of the standout features of PrimeXBT is its unmatched selection of cryptocurrencies. Traders can trade major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC), as well as numerous altcoins. The platform continually adds new assets based on market demand and trends, providing traders with diverse trading opportunities. In addition to cryptocurrencies, PrimeXBT also offers traditional asset CFDs, including forex, commodities, and stock indices. This includes gold, oil, the S&P 500, and, more recently, PrimeXBT added base industrial metals like copper and lead. The platform provides traders with greater flexibility and convenience, allowing them to diversify their portfolios and take positions in multiple financial markets, all in one place. Leverage and margin trading Leverage enables traders to open significant positions with much smaller amounts of capital than what would typically be allowed. PrimeXBT offers both cross and isolated-margin trading across a simple sliding system, allowing traders to adjust risk based on market conditions, available margin, and other factors. The platform's order placement system makes it clear how much margin impact each trade will have, as well as how much margin will be left available and at what price the position will be liquidated. Up to 200x leverage is offered for crypto and up to 1000x for traditional assets. Competitive trading fees and funding rates PrimeXBT charges competitive trading fees for cryptocurrency futures contracts, with most pairs incurring a fee of 0.05%. Additionally, traders must pay a funding rate every 24 hours, which varies depending on the trading pair. The funding rate for most pairs is 0.0694%, while for BTC/USD and ETH/USD, it's 0.0389%. These rates are subject to change based on market conditions and serve as a mechanism to balance long and short positions in the market. Traders should consider these fees and funding rates to ensure profitability when developing their trading strategies. However, it is worth noting that PrimeXBT's fees are highly competitive compared to other leading cryptocurrency futures trading platforms. In fact, PrimeXBT currently charges no fees on most traditional assets. Copy trading, trading academy, and contests Copy trading is an increasingly popular trading strategy that enables traders to follow and copy the trades of top-performing users on the platform. PrimeXBT offers a copy trading feature that allows traders to do just that, making learning from successful traders and diversifying their trading portfolios easier. With PrimeXBT copy trading, traders can browse through a list of top-performing traders on the platform and see their performance over time. Once a trader has identified a top-performing user to follow, they can easily copy their trades with just a few clicks. PrimeXBT contests offer weekly trading competitions for traders to showcase their skills and compete for crypto-based prizes. The contests feature a variety of assets, including cryptocurrencies, forex, and commodities, and winners are determined based on the highest returns at the end of the competition or other unique factors. The platform's risk-free demo funds offered also allow traders to practice their strategies and test their trading abilities against other traders. PrimeXBT contests provide traders a fun and exciting way to improve their trading skills while competing for valuable prizes. Another aspect of the platform that sets it apart from its competitors is the PrimeXBT Trading Academy. The Academy offers a comprehensive educational program to help traders develop their skills and strategies. The program includes articles, tutorials, videos, and webinars on a variety of topics, including technical analysis, risk management, and trading psychology. The Academy is accessible to all traders, from beginners to advanced, and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their trading skills. PrimeXBT mobile app and customer support The platform also offers a mobile app for iOS and Android, making trading on the go simple and convenient. With the app, users can manage their trades, view real-time market data, and make deposits or withdrawals with ease. Also available via the website or mobile app, PrimeXBT's customer support team is highly responsive and provides assistance through live chat, email, and an extensive knowledge base.

It employs industry-standard security measures, including cold storage of user funds, two-factor authentication (2FA) for account access, and encrypted data storage. Most user funds are kept offline in cold storage wallets protected by multi-signature technology and only accessible by authorized personnel.

This will have a profound impact on society, the economy, and national security. ChatGPT and autonomous vehicles are two examples of the various applications of AI that demonstrate the ability these technologies have to fundamentally transform how Americans live and work. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Commission on Artificial Intelligence Competition, Inclusion, and Innovation recently released a report outlining recommendations for how to address key risks associated with AI, while maximizing the technology’s enormous potential benefits. The report recommends that policymakers must address regulations, workforce preparation and education, global competitiveness—especially pertaining to intellectual property—and national security protections. The U.S. should not pause the development of AI, but rather take the necessary action to ensure we have trustworthy AI and maintain a competitive position in the global economy. Jordan Crenshaw, Senior Vice President of the Chamber’s Technology Engagement Center conducted a nationwide media tour discussing the report and the state of Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work. Topics that Jordan discussed included: How widespread will the use of artificial intelligence be in the coming years. How to get the U.S. workforce ready and ways to help businesses hire people.

President Biden Issues First Veto – Stay Ahead Of The News With FiscalNote (NYSE: NOTE)

Benzinga

By Jad Malaeb, Benzinga President Biden issued his first veto in office. House Republicans are pressing a new energy bill, dubbed H.R.1, that would “expedite energy products, eliminate or reduce certain fees related to the development of federal energy sources and eliminate certain funds that provide incentives to decrease emissions of greenhouse gases.” In short, the Lower Cost Energy Act (i.e. H.R.1) is a plea for looser restrictions on greenhouse-producing energy products and activities like oil drilling and exploration. Even though the bill was a long way from reaching the Presidential desk, the White House made its stance clear. In a statement issued on Mar. 27th, the White House said: “If presented to the President in its current form, he would veto it.” - which they did. The White House noted that H.R. 1 would replace “pro-consumer policies with a thinly veiled license to pollute” and “raise costs for American families by repealing household energy rebates and rolling back historic investments to increase access to cost-lowering clean energy technologies.” Legislation And Regulation Tracking Technology Through FiscalNote Bills with a monumental impact on the future of the nation are discussed on a continuous basis by the U.S. government. These bills can also have major implications for financial markets. President Biden’s Infrastructure Act, for example, is heavily linked to the rise in the stock prices of companies like Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) and Applied Material Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAT) in anticipation of the Act taking effect. Individually keeping track of each bill, however, is a nearly impossible task without the help of specialized software. This is where FiscalNote Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NOTE) comes in.

Stay One Step Ahead: Master the Essentials of Cybersecurity Readiness!

YourUpdateTV

From data breaches to phishing scams, cybercrime is on the rise, and it's time to arm yourself with the knowledge and tools to stay safe in the digital world. Recently, Dave Lewis, Global Advisory Chief Information Security Officer at Cisco Security, conducted a satellite media tour to share tips and tricks to outsmart cyber criminals and stay safe online. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/VDTqR8LqwOM After surveying over 6,700 cybersecurity leaders worldwide, Cisco found that less than 15% of companies were ‘Mature’ enough (or considered to have advanced enough security) to defend against modern cybersecurity risks, even though 82% of respondents said they expect a cybersecurity incident to disrupt their business in the next two years. While this may not seem to directly impact consumers at first, the aftermath can take a large toll on the public, causing emails, credit cards and personal information to be leaked on the internet. Here are some tips that Lewis shared: · Be a safe shopper: o Never use a debit card, use a credit card, I like one specifically for online purchases. o Don’t save your personal or credit card information on any company site – If they company doesn’t have it, the company can’t lose it, and the criminals can’t steal it. o Closely watch your online accounts. · Build cyber street smarts - Criminals will use information from a breach against you: o Evaluate the company before sharing personal information. o Only share essential information with any company or third-party. o Know the signs of a scam - If it seems too good to be true, if there’s too much pressure. · Personal resilience - Expect breaches: o Use multi-factor on all accounts. o Use separate email addresses and credit cards – our phones may make this easier. o Talk about it when it happens – empathy and compassion, kinder than necessary. According to Cisco, 60% of respondents said they had a cybersecurity incident in the last year, which cost 41% of organizations affected at least $500,000. While forward-looking businesses are investing in resilience and focused on improving their ability to defend against and minimize the impact of an attack, consumers also must take an active role in protecting their own information, especially as breaches become more and more inevitable.

He has 25 years of experience in IT security operations and management including a decade dealing with critical infrastructure security.

Shareholder Calls for Removal of Dan Schulman from Board at Verizon Annual Meeting

National Legal & Policy Center

Today, Paul Chesser, Director of the National Legal and Policy Center ’s Corporate Integrity Project, gave remarks at Verizon Communications Inc.’s annual meeting in Salt Lake City, to support a shareholder proposal the ethics group filed with the company. NLPC’s proposal would require the company to itemize and disclose the nature of ‘take-down requests’ it has received from the U.S. government. Revelations from “The Twitter Files,” about the aggressive efforts by the federal government to pressure social media and telecommunications companies to censor critics and political enemies of public officials, was part of the motivation for the proposal. During Chesser’s presentation, he also called for the removal of Dan Schulman, CEO of PayPal, from the Verizon board of directors. Schulman has presided over extensive censorship, de-platforming and punitive financial measures against customers during his tenure at PayPal. The full text of Chesser’s remarks is below: Verizon opposes our proposal for a report on government takedown requests because the Company says it already publishes so-called “ Transparency Reports,” and therefore the report we request isn’t necessary. But what Verizon calls a “Transparency Report,” is nothing of the sort. The report we seek asks for specific requests for censorship that Verizon has received from all branches of the United States government. All Verizon’s alleged “Transparency Reports” give you are numbers, and zero transparency. As we have seen from the revelations in the “ Twitter Files,” agencies controlled by the White House censored their critics via social and corporate media entities, at an unprecedented scale. For example, major tech companies including Verizon met monthly with the FBI and Homeland Security ahead of the 2020 election, to discuss how to handle so-called “election misinformation.” Platforms, including those controlled by Verizon, reportedly removed alleged “misinformation” at the request of the government. Yet there are no such disclosures of any censorship incidents in Verizon’s phony “Transparency Report.” But the type of report we request would include them. Verizon also engaged in election interference when it abruptly shut down a test run of one of Donald Trump’s most important voter-contact programs one weekend in July 2020, potentially costing the former president millions of dollars in donations. And in 2021, members of Congress who regulate the telecom industry wrote to Verizon urging them to drop One America News Network and other conservative-leaning news channels. Verizon ended its 17-year relationship with OANN, while the discredited, flailing CNN remains on the Company’s channel listings. If Verizon truly wanted to stop “misinformation,” they would dump CNN. Verizon, meanwhile, claims that, “Our respect for the right to freedom of expression of opinion is fundamental to our business.” Because of these examples I cited and others, we doubt that Verizon genuinely believes in freedom of speech. But if Verizon wants the public to believe that, one step they could take is to ask for the resignation of Dan Schulman from the Board of Directors. While he’s been CEO of PayPal, his company has implemented some of the most extreme cancel culture and censorship policies in Corporate America, including trying to impose a $2,500 fine of account holders who allegedly promote “misinformation.” PayPal also terminated, without warning, the account of one of the last remaining pro-Democracy groups in Hong Kong, before it fell to the communist Chinese government. I could cite many more examples of PayPal’s cancel culture actions during Mr. Schulman’s tenure. He has no business being on the board of a major media or telecom corporation – or any company for that matter. Thank you, and please vote FOR Item 5 on the proxy statement. END REMARKS NLPC has filed more than two dozen shareholder proposals this proxy season, and appeared at the annual meetings of Apple, Disney, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Berkshire Hathaway, and Boeing, and will similarly present resolutions at many other companies in the coming weeks. Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with an NLPC representative, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

3 Small-Cap Tech Stocks That Appear Ready to Resume Their Rallies

Spotlight Growth/ASUR

Unearth hidden treasures in the high-risk, high-reward realm of small-cap stocks, where savvy investors can capitalize on market dips and ride the wave of growth, armed with diligent research and risk management strategies. Waiting for a pullback on quality small-cap stocks can be an attractive investment strategy for risk-tolerant investors seeking higher returns. Small-cap stocks have historically outperformed their larger peers over a long time horizon, offering higher growth potential in exchange for some additional risk. However, it is essential to focus on quality stocks with strong fundamentals, as they are more likely to withstand market fluctuations and deliver consistent returns in the long run. These under-the-radar companies can sometimes avoid much of the broader market chaos, making them appealing investment options during market dips. When investing in small-cap stocks, it is crucial to focus on research and make proper asset allocation decisions, as these stocks are highly volatile and susceptible to market risks. Investors should also consider their risk appetite before venturing into small-cap investments, as these stocks can experience significant declines during market downturns. Buying the dip in quality small-cap stocks can be a rewarding strategy for investors with a higher risk appetite and a long-term investment horizon. By focusing on strong fundamentals and proper asset allocation, investors can maximize their returns and grow their wealth over time while navigating the inherent risks associated with small-cap investments. With quality small-cap stocks in mind, here are three tech-focused companies that are worth researching further: 1. Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR) The Austin, Texas-based company provides cloud-based human capital management (HCM) software solutions geared towards small and medium-sized businesses. Asure’s suite of services aims to help businesses cut costs by streamlining back-office operations across human resources, payroll, tax, employee attendance, HR compliance, and more. Since the start of 2023, Asure has inked partnerships with notable companies such as H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) and Intuit's (NYSE: INTU) TurboTax to expand their offerings and features aimed at helping small business boost their employee retention and recruitment efforts. Asure Software saw impressive growth during 2022, which resulted in total revenue of $95.8 million or 26% year-over-year growth. Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 improved by $4.2 million to reach $11.8 million. The HCM provider’s 2022 results surpassed its own guidance by a significant margin and with SMBs continuing to look for ways to cut costs and get leaner, Asure’s products & services likely face another year ahead of strong demand and growth. The strong growth trend appears to be continuing into 2023 so far, after the company reported impressive Q1 2023 results with revenue of $33.1 million, a 36% increase from Q1 2022. Recurring revenue reached $28.0 million, up 22% from the previous year, and net income stood at $0.3 million, a $3.4 million improvement year-over-year. The company also reported a gross profit of $24.4 million, marking a 58% rise from Q1 2022. Following these strong results, Asure has updated its full year 2023 guidance, with expected revenue in the range of $111.0M - $113.0M, up from the previously estimated $105.0M - $107.0M. The company also provided Q2 2023 guidance, forecasting revenue between $25.0M - $26.0M, and an Adjusted EBITDA of $2.5M - $3.5M. According to Nasdaq.com, Institutional investors continue to provide Asure with strong support with institutional ownership of over 65%, which equates to a total value of around $182 million, as of this writing. Furthermore, disclosures from the period ended March 31, 2023, showed Asure gained Barclays PLC (NYSE: BCS), Ritholtz Wealth Management, Jump Financial, LLC, and others as new institutional shareholders. 2. C3 AI (NYSE: AI) Based out of Redwood City, CA, C3 AI describes itself as an enterprise AI app software company, which offers a comprehensive platform that allows businesses and organizations to develop, deploy and operate AI applications. C3 AI's platform features many industry-specific software-as-a-service (SaaS) AI apps that are geared toward helping enterprises begin to adopt new technologies into their operations. Artificial intelligence has been a major theme through the first half of 2023. The rise of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and the incredible capabilities of new AI programs have led to a surge in demand. C3 AI has been a beneficiary of this demand, as investors look to scoop up AI-related investments. Even the U.S. Department of Defense has partnered with C3 AI to develop enterprise AI solutions for the U.S. Air Force’s critical mission readiness. C3 AI is well-capitalized with a strong current ratio of 7.70, as a result of cash & equivalents holding of over $311 million and limited debt, as of January 2023. Nasdaq.com highlights C3 AI’s institutional ownership at nearly 42%, which has seen 80 new institutions add shares of C3 AI since the end of Q3 2022. 3. Vimeo (NASDAQ: VMEO) Vimeo is a New York-based video software solutions provider. Using a SaaS model, Vimeo allows subscribers to create, collaborate and deploy video within its platform. From OTT streaming and monetization capabilities to AI-based video creation and editing, Vimeo's platform provides a comprehensive solution for major corporations, small businesses, solopreneurs, schools, and more. In early May 2023, Vimeo reported first quarter 2023 financial results, which continued to demonstrate growth at the video software provider. While total revenue did see a slight 4% decrease y/y to $103.6 million, net losses saw a massive improvement of $25.9 million during the quarter to reach ($0.7 million). In addition, adjusted EBITDA improved by $13.6 million to reach $3.2 million during the first three months of 2023. Enterprise booking saw impressive growth of 62% y/y, thanks to new customers including BBC, UCLA, Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), Warner Brothers, and more. Over the past several months, Vimeo's share price has struggled but has continuously found support around the $3.25 level. Based on the financial results, Vimeo is seeing a growth shift to enterprises. This could help the company stabilize results, as enterprise customers tend to be more vested and longer-term focused than smaller organizations and individuals. If Vimeo can continue to build on its enterprise growth, its share price could see some improvement.
