How Groundfloor Is Leading The Fractional Future Of Real Estate Investing

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga The investment landscape is in the midst of a transformation, shifting away from traditional, capital-intensive methods toward more inclusive, accessible approaches like fractional investing. This change is most evident in the real estate sector, where the concept of fractional shares is dismantling long-standing barriers to entry, making it easier for a broader demographic to participate in wealth-building opportunities across this asset class. The Challenges Prompting Change Historically, the real estate landscape has been characterized by a finite group of gatekeepers and hefty capital requirements – which has often sidelined the average investor and made wealth-building seem like a distant dream. Meanwhile, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), though a popular means to invest in real estate, exhibit a number of limitations, including management-specific risks, market volatility and (for private REITs) issues like limited liquidity and high fees. However, it’s these drawbacks that have paved the way for alternatives that democratize access to real estate investment opportunities. The Advantages Of Going Fractional One potential antidote to many of the current pitfalls in the real estate market is fractional investing, which is revolutionizing a variety of asset classes but is particularly beneficial in markets characterized by high prices. Fractional shares allow investors to own a small portion of an asset, thereby lowering potentially steep capital requirements. As everyone well knows, purchasing an entire property can be incredibly expensive, and even investment vehicles like REITs that lower capital requirements suffer from liquidity constraints or limit their availability to accredited investors. However, fractional investing gives investors of all levels (accredited or otherwise) the opportunity for liquid exposure to a wide variety of real estate investments – regardless of the cost. The flexibility of fractional investing also simplifies diversification through exact-dollar investing while eliminating management costs commonly associated with real estate. For these reasons, fractional investing has emerged as a game-changer in the industry, making it possible for more people to partake in the stability and potential returns this asset class offers. Groundfloor: Pioneering A New Kind Of Real Estate Investing At the forefront of this ongoing transition in real estate investing is Groundfloor, a platform that has recognized the limitations of real estate investing and traditional REITs and actively sought to disrupt them. Groundfloor's innovative approach to fractional real estate investing is tailored for both non-accredited and accredited investors, providing access to short-term, high-yield returns backed by real estate assets. Through its platform, investors can invest in pre-vetted real estate loans with as little as $1 – enjoying returns with the potential to significantly outpace those of traditional REITs. Groundfloor's unique model offers a stark contrast to the opaque, fee-laden structure of private REITs, offering transparency, no fees and a direct link between investors and their investments. With solutions like the Groundfloor 3.0 auto-investing app, the platform empowers investors to automatically diversify their investments across multiple projects – blending the ease of technology with the security of real estate investment. A Fractional Future The trajectory of investing is unmistakably moving toward a more inclusive, diversified and accessible model, and fractional investing is part of the vanguard. Platforms like Groundfloor are key participants in this change, but they are also catalysts, breaking down the old barriers and forging a path to a future where investing is democratized for all. As we look forward, fractional real estate investing appears to have a bright future in finance, offering a compelling combination of simplicity and potential growth. With its innovative solutions and commitment to accessibility, Groundfloor stands ready to help lead the way, proving that the future of investing is indeed fractional.

Why The 1% Are Adding Alternative Assets To Their Portfolios

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga Alternative assets are becoming the new buzzword in the investment world, especially among the affluent 1%. But what exactly are these assets? Simply put, they include investments outside the traditional arenas of stocks, bonds and cash. Think private equity, hedge funds, real estate, commodities and even the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrencies. The appeal of these assets is their potential for higher, above-market returns and portfolio diversification as a crucial hedge against stock and bond market volatility with largely uncorrelated performance. The Shift In Investment Strategies So why are the wealthiest investors, those in the top 1%, shifting their focus to alternative assets? The reason is twofold. First, these investments have shown the potential to outperform traditional portfolios. UBS Group AG (NYSE: UBS), a global leader in wealth management, has responded to this trend by recommending higher allocations to private markets, including private equity, debt, real estate and hedge funds. In fact, UBS has called for a new benchmark, stepping away from a 60-40 stock-bond mix for a 40-30-30 stock-bond-alternatives portfolio. This advice aligns with historical data showing private markets outperforming the S&P 500 over the last three, five and ten-year periods. Secondly, the advent of more accessible private funds – such as evergreen or perpetual funds – has lowered the entry barriers. Minimum investment thresholds now range from under $100,000 up to the more typical $250,000. They also provide more flexibility to withdraw assets, making private markets more liquid and attainable for individuals with assets of $10 million or less. This democratization of alternative investments has caught the attention of many wealthy investors, who are increasingly looking to mirror the strategies of endowments and large single-family offices with substantial private investment allocations. DLP Capital’s Real Estate Funds In this search for alternative assets, DLP Capital provides unique opportunities with a focus on socially impactful real estate investing. The company's approach is grounded in using capital for real estate-backed investments aimed at generating returns for investors while also considering broader community prosperity. Its emphasis on passive investing in real estate funds aligns with the growing trend of investors seeking diversified portfolios that include alternative assets beyond the traditional 60-40 mix of stocks and bonds. DLP Capital offers a range of real estate funds, each with its unique strategy and target returns. For instance, the DLP Lending Fund focuses on providing capital to operators and builders involved in affordable workforce housing projects, targeting annual returns of 9-10%. The DLP Building Communities Fund, aimed at growth, invests in developing attainable single-family and multifamily rental communities p in the Sunbelt region, with a target of 11-13% annual returns. Additionally, the DLP Preferred Credit Fund focuses on mortgage loan origination and acquisitions of rental community assets, while the DLP Housing Fund focuses on equity investments into multifamily rental communities. Those two funds target returns in the range of 10-12%. Led by Founder & CEO Don Wenner, DLP Capital has completed more than 17,000 real estate transactions totaling over $4 billion since its inception in 2006. The company also has over $5.25 billion in assets under management and ownership of upwards of 18,000 housing units, giving DLP Capital a significant presence in the real estate sector. Ultimately, DLP Capital's strategies and achievements provide a clear example of the potential within real estate funds as an alternative asset class for investors aiming to diversify their portfolios. A New Era Of Investment Diversification The move of the 1% into alternative assets signals a potentially significant shift in benchmark investment strategies. For investors considering this path, funds like those offered by DLP Capital represent an accessible and socially responsible entry point into the world of alternative investments. As with any investment decision, aligning with individual financial goals and risk tolerance remains paramount. These assets can bring higher potential returns and diversification, but they also require a nuanced understanding of their unique risks and rewards. Nevertheless, for those ready to embrace this new investment frontier, DLP Capital has carved out a potentially compelling opportunity. Invest in DLP Capital’s real estate funds to add alternative assets to your portfolio. Featured photo by Austin Distel on Unsplash.

Videography ranked as the second fastest growing skill of 2023, with Video Production and Video Editing jobs also growing significantly and placing in the top growing jobs. Other video-related jobs, such as YouTube Video Editing and TikTok, were also amongst the top 25 fastest growing jobs on Freelancer.com for 2023. Fueling this demand is an increase of brands incorporating video in their marketing strategies. According to Wyzowl, video content marketing is an essential part of a majority (88%) of marketers strategies with most (85%) planning to increase spending on video in 2024. Demand for skills in photography and photo editing was also a driver for new jobs. Adobe Lightroom projects saw the highest percentage growth across the year, while Photography as a skill grew by 3,625 total jobs. In terms of earning potential, freelancers in the United States are charging up to $300/hour for Photography skills, $200/hour for Videography and Video Editing, and $160/hour to create TikTok content. “Advances in generative AI are changing the way businesses are communicating and marketing themselves. A boom in video and photography services is a clear indication that there’s a shift towards visual, highly-produced content as opposed to reliance on legacy forms of internet marketing, such as a reliance on blog posts and articles to generate traffic. We expect this trend to continue and are already seeing signs of video and marketing categories continuing to increase in 2024,” said Matt Barrie, Chief Executive at Freelancer.com. One example of how businesses are shifting towards video and moving away from written content is evident when looking at the decreasing skills of 2023.

In fact, other forms of writing such as Fiction Writing (up 36.1%), Creative Writing (up 18.8%) and Microsoft Word (up 16.8%) were both amongst the fastest growing jobs of the year. “AI can’t replace creativity, yet. Although this may emerge with model scale. We said this in the middle of the year when we saw creative writing jobs increase in Q2 2023 and the sentiment remains the same in 2024. What we are seeing is that our freelancers are moving up the stack. They’re evolving from just blog writers to editors. Moving from just illustrators to directors. Ultimately, AI is elevating our talent and improving efficiency and productivity in the process,” added Barrie.

Fastest Growing North American-Based Sports Media Company, Basketball Forever, Signs First North American Gaming Partnership with Dabble

Basketball Forever

Basketball Forever, one of the fastest growing and most engaged independent sports content brands in the world, announced its first North American gaming partnership with fantasy operator Dabble to offer free-to-play games to North American audiences. Though more than 50% of its website traffic and user base comes from the United States, this will mark Basketball Forever’s debut into the North American market. Since launching in the U.S. at the start of 2024, Dabble has garnered over 500,000 unique downloads and amassed more than 10,000 players, proving to be one of the most appealing fantasy operators in the industry. The partnership kicked off during NBA All-Star weekend when Dabble offered Basketball Forever’s Hot Hands game during the 2024 All-Star Game. The opening day saw nearly 10,000 players participating, culminating in more than 70,000 total sessions over All-Star weekend. “Our launch with Dabble during All-Star weekend proved that we are definitely in the right place at the right time by expanding our business operation into North America,” said Alex Sumsky, CEO and co-founder of Basketball Forever. “Our success with Dabble will be an incredible case study of what we can offer to North American fantasy and real money operators—something we have a proven track record of in Australia. For instance, through our content portfolio in Australia, we were able to drive A$15 million of LTV to TAB whilst only spending A$500,000 on player acquisition. With a highly engaged audience and an extremely low cost per acquisition, we can offer American operators the same type of impact, as well as the eventual launch of our own owned and operated products and game suites” Basketball Forever will offer Hot Hands again on March 26 during a matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks. To play the game, users are given randomly generated, personalized bingo cards filled with player prediction tiles. Tracking the progress of selected player performances in real-time, users chase winning combinations, creating an immersive and interactive experience that blends the thrill of live sports with the anticipation of winning. All a user needs to do is complete a line to win a prize and fill the board to claim the jackpot. Two additional games, V.O.A.T. and Streaker, are currently in development and will go live before the end of the 2024 NBA season. In V.O.A.T., players will answer a series of live questions across various in-game events, testing knowledge and strategic decision making. Incorrect guesses eliminate users until one is left standing. The winner scoops the prize offered for that game. In Streaker, users will participate in a pick-em style game built around digital trading cards with trading mechanics. Both games will be offered as free-to-play versions for now, with real-money versions offered in the immediate future. In open beta, the V.O.A.T. product boasted a 91% organic retention rate with the 30,000 strong user base averaging 35 unique sessions per week on the game. “With our V.O.A.T. game, we were able to acquire our entire beta population and watch it grow four times over without spending a dollar on marketing or user acquisition tactics,” said Basketball Forever Chief Strategy Officer Nick Kelland. “ Because we own and operate our games, the majority of Basketball Forever’s content can have V.O.A.T.-related calls to action integrated, which is a pure opportunity for free daily user acquisition. We are expecting V.O.A.T. to grow to 300,000 users by the end of 2024 with a CPA of essentially $0.00. This is a massive opportunity for brands and sponsors in the North American market to reach a large and motivated audience for an extremely low cost.” Founded in 2015, Basketball Forever is a digital media platform creating news and content on the global basketball market. For more than a decade, the company has built its brand organically from Australia, amassing a monthly global audience of more than 110 million unique visitors. Previously, all of its partners, sponsors and development efforts focused on the Australian market, even though the platform reaches 45 million unique visitors per month from the United States alone. With its first major push into the North American market, Basketball Forever will be making several strategic business announcements in the upcoming months. ABOUT BASKETBALL FOREVER Basketball Forever was founded in 2015 with a mission to celebrate the game and embrace its ability to unite people from all over the world. The brand reaches millions globally as the best source of breaking news, commentary, rumors, and culture through a uniquely social-first approach, bringing the best content to the consumer and removing the barriers between the creative and the consumer.

Renforth Submits Victoria Samples for PGE Assay, Commences Additional Petrographic Work

Renforth Resources Inc.

Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE:RFR) (OTCQB:RFHRF) (FSE:9RR) (“Renforth” or the “Company”) wishes to inform shareholders that our geologists have returned from the field after completing some follow up fieldwork on our Victoria Multi Metals Zone, achieving the following; A review of the mineralized package in several drill holes from across the ~2.5km continuously drilled length to date including detailed review of textures, structure and geochemical identification of pathfinder elements indicating alteration, in an effort to better understand and identify vectors to the mineralization,   Samples have been taken from the mineralized zones of several holes in order to test for PGEs. Previous testing of surface samples has confirmed the presence of PGEs in the VMMZ. These have been submitted to the lab,   Samples from mineralized and nonmineralized core from each lithology were taken for further petrographic analysis to better understand the alteration and genesis of the mineralization.     Detailed core review from multiple drill holes from the hanging wall in the sediments across the entire width through the mineralized zones and well into the footwall sediments was undertaken. The purpose of this exercise is to identify and better understand the subtle structural and chemical differences in the hydrothermal footprint of the VMS System hosting zinc and copper mineralization as well as the adjacent Nickel-Cobalt bearing calc-silicate alteration zone. Initial core logging has defined several phases or sub-units within the ultramafic bodies – the source of the Ni, Co mineralization. We are seeing hydrothermal alteration within the ultramafics leading to Ni, Co enrichment in the contact calc silicate lithology and are working to identify any structural controls on the emplacement of mineralization. This analysis will provide important vectoring data for planning future go forward exploration.   Additionally, Renforth will select and submit samples from stored pulps from the entire mineralized package from one drill hole to test for PGEs, both in the presence of nickel and other sulfides and possibly elsewhere in the lithological assembly.   "This work will answer some important questions we are asking internally. We know PGEs are present but not to what extent or grade. Results from this sampling will be shared once available. This has already yielded results from earlier efforts, as detailed in our prior press release" states Nicole Brewster, President and CEO of Renforth. "Essentially we are continuing with the science of proving the merit of Quebec's newest multi metals battery property, our setting, a large-scale structure with surface mineralization, road access and available and accessible hydro power has value in potential project longevity and low operating costs. The work we are doing is necessary in order to demonstrate potential and value."   Renforth is hosting a webinar Wednesday Feb. 28 at 7pm ET, Nicole will present an update on the Malartic Metals Package and Renforth's nearby Parbec gold deposit. Registration is free via the link HERE.    About Renforth Renforth is a battery metals area play with the dominant brownfield land position south of the world class Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault ("CLLF") in the prolific Cadillac and Malartic mining camps of Quebec's Abitibi. Offering exposure to gold, zinc, nickel, copper, cobalt and more, including lithium, Renforth's land position encompasses several areas of interest. Renforth's position is unique in that the both the battery metals mineralization within the Malartic Metals Package ("MMP") and our gold deposit at Parbec are road accessible, with hydro power crossing the properties, in an established and secure mining jurisdiction which regularly ranks as Top 10 (as determined by the Fraser Institute) in the world. Renforth is engaged in the active exploration of the proven MMP battery metals mineralization, working towards a maiden resource statement, and the remodeling of our Parbec gold deposit to incorporate the ~15,000m drilled subsequent to the 2019 effective date of the last MRE.   Technical disclosure in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Francis R.

Willy Woo Bitcoin (BTC) Price Forecast, Rising Interest in Ethereum (ETH) ETFs - KangaMoon (KANG) Price Surges

Kangamoon

Renowned analyst Willy Woo predicts a significant shift in Bitcoin's price dynamics, suggesting that the pioneer cryptocurrency may not dip below $30,000 again if a particular on-chain pattern persists. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) ETFs have emerged as a focal point of interest following the recent approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). More interestingly, KangaMoon (KANG) has made waves in the meme coin market with its innovative approach and emphasis on utility and innovation. Serving as the in-game currency for an upcoming play-to-earn (P2E) game, KangaMoon offers players a unique gaming experience coupled with social-fi elements. Willy Woo: Bitcoin (BTC) Won’t Drop Below $30,000 Again According to Willy Woo, if a specific on-chain pattern remains consistent, it's unlikely that Bitcoin (BTC) will drop below $30,000 again. Bitcoin’s chart illustrates dense horizontal bands representing price regions where a significant portion of the supply changed hands among investors, indicating strong agreed-upon values. Woo highlights three key factors associated with this Bitcoin pattern: strong bands of agreed-upon price, transitioning out of a bear market, and approaching the next halving event, marked by vertical bands on the chart. In instances where these conditions align, Bitcoin's price tends to avoid revisiting these established support levels, leading to an "up only” trend. Rising Interest in Ethereum ETFs: SEC Decision Awaited This year, there have been significant developments in the crypto market, indicating a growing interest among companies in establishing a spot Ethereum ETF. Following the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs, analysts are now looking towards Ethereum (ETH). Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart has suggested that a decision on Ethereum ETFs will be made on May 23. Major firms such as BlackRock, VanEck, Hashdex, and Grayscale are actively seeking approval from the SEC. Recently, Franklin Templeton also joined the race for an Ethereum ETF approval, reflecting increasing investor interest in the second-ranked asset. KangaMoon (KANG): Redefining MemeCoins KangaMoon (KANG) is causing a stir in the meme coin market with its unique approach. Unlike traditional memecoins, KangaMoon aims to stand out by emphasizing utility and innovation. Instead of being just meme coin, KangaMoon serves as the in-game currency for an upcoming KangaMoon play-to-earn (P2E) game. In this game, players can engage in battles, spectate matches, and even bet on outcomes, creating an exciting mix of gaming and social-fi elements. Moreover, KangaMoon holders enjoy exclusive benefits such as access to weekly, monthly, and quarterly challenges, which offer extra tokens and in-game items. These items can then be traded on the KangaMoon marketplace, adding another layer of utility to the token. Currently, KangaMoon is in Stage 2 of its presale, with a price of $0.0075 per token. However, anticipation is high for another significant surge in value once a Tier-1 centralized exchange lists KangaMoon in the second quarter of 2024. With experts predicting a potential 1,000% surge in value post-listing, there's no better time to get involved with KangaMoon. Investors can take advantage of the current 15% bonus available for a limited time and start earning KANG tokens by purchasing them and spreading the word on social media.

As the legal context evolves and spot Bitcoin ETFs signal regulatory approval, crypto appears on more organizational portfolios. Institutional allocations are growing, as evidenced by Coinbase’s recent survey. Zent addresses the biggest challenges of institutional trading: hindered execution, slippage, fragmented liquidity, and the influence of open positions in public order books. Its unique benefits target three categories of corporate users — token issuers, funds, and traders. CEO Ilia Stadnik describes Zent's strengths: "Zent is a game-changer for crypto projects, supporting growth through quick and easy liquidity management. For crypto and traditional funds, Zent simplifies market entry, scaling, and portfolio and team management, bringing the utmost confidence. Lastly, for traders and their employers seeking seamless transactions across markets, Zent minimizes typical obstacles like market impact." Revolutionary feature: Order Rules At the forefront is a unique feature for smooth, delay-free execution: Order Rules. It splits large volumes into chunks of customizable size, executed at customizable intervals and going live at a price match. Thereby, institutional-grade trades remain essentially undetectable in public order books, eliminating market impact. Furthermore, all Order Rules are created and managed via a single user-centric dashboard. Zent empowers traders with user-friendly tools, while giving workspace owners an unrivaled agility of control with reassignable rights and limits, along with in-depth performance assessment in real-time and retrospect. According to Stadnik, "These benefits, alongside many other features, position Zent as the definitive one-stop-shop for institutional trading." Institutions may use Zent as a standalone product or leverage its capabilities through their existing workspaces. Zent API brings law latency Order Rule functionality to any in-house trading platform. To celebrate its official launch, Zent offers a free annual subscription for the first 3 clients onboard. Due diligence procedures apply. 30-day full access to all features free of charge is also available. Users can contact the team via the official website — zent.pro.
