Enhance Your Retirement Portfolio: The Benefits Of Adding Cryptocurrency

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga The term ‘investment opportunity set’ is defined as the universe of investable assets available to investors from which they can construct a portfolio. For most investors, these investable assets include stocks, bonds, real estate and even precious metals, such as gold. However, for many investors, digital assets such as cryptocurrencies are not top-of-mind as investable assets due to their public perception or the limited knowledge individuals may have of the asset class. However, cryptocurrencies present an opportunity for investors, such as retirement savers, to bolster their portfolio with an asset class that has compelling diversification qualities and strong return generation capabilities. Why Retirement Savers Should Consider Cryptocurrencies A primary rationale for adding crypto to retirement savings is the diversification benefit of an asset class largely uncorrelated to traditional assets. Across the investment landscape, performance leadership and the degree to which one asset class outperforms the other changes every year. But instead of trying to guess and gauge which asset class will be the best, diversification encourages broad exposure to all of them. By taking a multi-asset approach to investing, retirement savers can spread risk and enhance potential returns by including a mix of different asset types in a portfolio. Thus, a small allocation to cryptocurrency in a diversified portfolio may be able to increase expected returns without materially increasing overall portfolio risk. During bull runs, the rapid appreciation of crypto assets can boost the value of a retirement fund, providing a high-reward opportunity for investors. However, it is essential to manage these investments responsibly, considering the inherent risks and employing a balanced approach to ensure long-term financial security. How Much Should One Allocate To Their Portfolio? Every individual’s personal investment situation is different; as such, how much of a particular asset class they are exposed to will vary depending on their circumstances, such as age, experience, income level and risk tolerance. Because crypto is a high-risk/high-return-potential asset class with a low correlation to stocks, crypto assets can potentially help investors overcome some of the portfolio construction challenges they face today. A moderate allocation can have a material impact on their portfolio’s performance. With allocation comes periodic rebalancing. Crypto allocation must be routinely tweaked to align with investment goals. Choosing Which Cryptocurrency Is Suitable For One’s Portfolio The cryptocurrency investment landscape is broad, so the investment options that investors can choose from are diverse. For retirement savers, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum would be a natural fit due to the existence of an established investor base and market. However, their established nature doesn’t preclude them from being susceptible to swings in market price. While there are less established cryptocurrencies, it is incumbent upon investors to understand their value proposition and the protocols underpinning them before they invest. How Can One Add Cryptocurrencies To Their Portfolios? The unitization of Bitcoin and Ethereum in the form of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has made adding cryptocurrencies to one’s portfolio relatively easy in recent years. However, for investors who desire to have direct ownership of their cryptocurrency, Caleb & Brown, the crypto investor’s expert partner, provides personalized service for beginner and advanced investors alike, with Bitcoin and hundreds of other crypto assets readily available for one’s portfolio. With 24/7 access to a personal relationship manager, investors can buy crypto with fiat currency and no deposit fees. Since Caleb & Brown doesn’t need to deal with network latency issues which sometimes plague exchanges, clients will have access to a pool of interchangeable assets. This not only makes crypto acquisition easier, but it also makes other difficult-to-access tokens easier to acquire. With over 20,000 crypto assets in existence, each with its own uses and applications, Caleb & Brown can provide resources and insights on the cryptocurrency landscape that can aid their clients in their decision-making and give them the confidence needed to navigate the world of crypto.

With Enough Cash In The Coffers, Greenwave Is Putting Its Growth Plans To Work

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga From shoring up capital to building out its popular Scrap App, Greenwave Technology Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: GWAV), has been making a lot of progress in the past few months, including the company’s recapitalization, which it announced in May. The operator of 13 metal recycling facilities in Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio recently completed that, exchanging $17.22 million in debt for shares. All told, in the past few months, Greenwave says it has attracted $45.3 million in new capital infusions. The company is also shoring up its balance sheet, which now stands at $80.5 million, with a cash balance of over $26 million, a record for Greenwave. It is now operating a fully funded business with no need to raise any more capital. Greenwave is also still on track to generate record revenues of more than $40 million driven by volume of steel and copper processed in 2024. The new cash position gives Greenwave firepower “to aggressively grow and increase processing volume.” To that end, Greenwave said it plans to open a second shredder this summer. Looking For Buys The metal recycling company is also looking for acquisition and strategic partnerships. That shouldn’t be too hard since Greenwave operates in a growing and fragmented industry; one example of which is recycled steel. Using recycled steel instead of new material can cut CO2 emissions by about 75% as it uses about 70% less energy than manufacturing new materials. As it stands, two out of every three tons of steel produced come from recycling. In 1980, it was just one out of every ten tons produced. It's also a big market. In 2019, the metal recycling industry was valued at $52.1 billion and is projected to reach $76.1 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period. Greenwave says it is focused on scrap yard deals that don’t have a lot of dilution or impact cash flow. It is also committed to not overpaying, aiming to utilize seller’s notes as its preferred form of consideration. Scrap App Expanding Nationwide In addition to doubling down on buys, Greenwave plans to use its newfound cash flow to expand ScrapApp.com, its artificial intelligence-powered quoting system for metal from construction and demolition projects, nationwide. The app lists the nearest scrap yards with real-time pricing. Greenwave says it is one of the first companies to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) in the $42.3 billion U.S. scrap metal industry. Since launching Scrap App, it has generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue from end-of-life vehicles. That’s only from the limited markets it currently operates in, which include Hampton Roads and Richmond, Virginia, and Cleveland, Ohio. Scrap App recently set a new daily record for cars purchased through the Scrap App platform. With its strengthened cash position, Greenwave wants to morph Scrap App into a leading AI-driven technology platform for the multi-billion dollar scrap metal industry; either as a stand-alone business serving the whole industry or as an internal subsidiary giving Greenwave a competitive edge. In the coming months, the company plans to list nearby scrap yards with their real-time prices and introduce a points-based rewards system. Scrap App has adopted the lean startup methodology – expanding primarily utilizing the cashflows it generates from operating activities, while focusing on utilizing AI-powered systems it expects will enable it to scale in a capital-efficient manner. “A competitor to Scrap App reportedly generated $159 million in annual revenue during 2022,” said Greenwave. “Greenwave believes the efficiencies created by its vertical integration of key stages of the car scrapping process could lead to significant competitive advantages.” With more cash in the coffers and no need to raise additional capital, Greenwave is fully focused on bringing its growth strategies to life by making more buys and expanding its popular Scrap App. With recycled steel in demand, stay tuned for more news coming out of this smelter operator.

DentalPlans.com: Empowering Families To Live Healthier Lives Through Affordable And Flexible Dental Savings Plans

DentalPlans.com

By Mangeet Kaur Bouns, Benzinga Oral health plays a vital role in our daily lives, impacting our ability to speak, smile and eat comfortably. Maintaining good dental hygiene not only enhances our appearance and self-esteem but also significantly influences overall well-being. Research has linked poor oral health to serious health issues such as heart disease, respiratory infections, stroke, diabetes and certain cancers. Finding affordable dental care is crucial for families. Traditional insurance has long been the standard, but dental savings plans are a flexible, cost-effective alternative. DentalPlans.com, a leader in dental savings plans, has transformed access to dental care in the U.S. over the past 25 years, making it easier for families to access affordable dental care without sacrificing quality. Understanding The Differences: Traditional Insurance Vs. Dental Savings Plans Traditional dental insurance typically involves paying monthly premiums in exchange for coverage that includes a percentage of costs for various services. These plans often come with annual spending caps, deductibles and waiting periods, which can limit immediate access to certain treatments. Additionally, there may be exclusions for pre-existing conditions and network restrictions that confine patients to a specific group of providers. In contrast, the dental savings plans available on DentalPlans.com do away with these limitations. By offering membership-based access to discounted rates from a vast network of over 140,000 dentists and specialists, these plans provide substantial savings without deductibles or annual limits. Plan members can receive care for existing dental conditions and enjoy flexibility in choosing their providers nationwide. Simply show your membership card at the dentist to receive savings. No Limits, No Restrictions: A Key Advantage One of traditional insurance's most significant drawbacks is the cap on coverage. Annual limits for a PPO plan are typically between $1,000 and $1,500 and can be quickly exhausted, especially when you need major dental procedures like root canals or crowns, which can cost between $750 and $2,000 per tooth. Once these limits are reached, patients must cover the remaining costs out-of-pocket while continuing to pay their insurance premiums. The dental savings plans on DentalPlans.com eliminate these restrictions, allowing plan members to access necessary dental care without worrying about annual limits. This includes treatments for existing dental conditions. Families can see as many participating providers as needed–for any number of reasons – including virtually all treatments, from cleanings to braces to root canals and dental implants. Extensive Network With Flexibility And Inclusivity The dental savings plans on DentalPlans.com are accepted by over 140,000 dentists and specialists nationwide, including pediatric dentists, orthodontists and endodontists, so choosing a dental savings plan doesn’t sacrifice network size. This broad network ensures that all family dental needs are met. The company offers more than 25 dental plans from top healthcare brands like Cigna, Aetna, Careington, United Concordia and Dentegra, ensuring your family will find a plan that fits its needs and budget. Dental savings plans also provide the flexibility to switch plans. Whether your family needs preventive care, braces for a child, or a root canal for an adult, DentalPlans.com allows for a seamless transition between plans, maximizing savings and maintaining continuous care. Ease Of Use And Significant Savings DentalPlans.com simplifies getting dental care with dental savings plans, which are easy to use and activate quickly (within 1-3 business days of signup). There is no paperwork to navigate and plan members can immediately save with reduced rates at the time of treatment. This straightforward approach not only saves time but also provides peace of mind when it comes to managing dental expenses. Dental savings plan members report saving an average of 50%* on their dental care, highlighting the cost-effectiveness of dental savings plans. Whether you're traveling and need to visit a dentist or simply require regular dental services, DentalPlans.com ensures continuous, affordable care. DentalPlans.com Leads The Way In Providing Quality, Affordable Dental Care For Families While traditional dental insurance has its benefits, the dental savings plans from DentalPlans.com offer a compelling alternative or complement with distinct advantages, such as no annual limits, no restrictions on existing dental conditions, an extensive network of providers, flexibility, ease of use and significant savings. The company's innovative and customer-focused approach continues to drive it toward achieving dental care equality, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to access high-quality dental services. As DentalPlans.com celebrates its 25th anniversary, its commitment to making dental care accessible and affordable for everyone remains unwavering.

LOBO Technologies Wants To Have It All With Line Of Electric Mobility Products, And Investors Seem To Be Taking Notice Of Its Expansion Plans

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga From bikes to scooters, the electric vehicle market is taking off, driven by greater awareness around the benefits of EVs, demand for better mobility solutions in dense urban settings and supportive government policies. As a result, the global e-bike, e-trike and e-scooter industry is forecast to reach $77.6 billion by the end of 2028, growing at a CAGR of 11.6%. LOBO Has It All For players in this market, going after just one area of the EV industry can be a big opportunity, but operating in it all including e-bicycles, e-mopeds, e-tricycles and electric off-highway four-wheeled shuttles, plus offering automobile information and entertainment software on top of that, can be game-changing. That is exactly what LOBO Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: LOBO) is doing. The Chinese EV manufacturer has a multi-pronged approach to dominate the market with its wide range of electric mobility vehicles. LOBO, which already has an established track record, is aiming to be an OEM and ODM leader in the intelligent urban e-bike, e-trike and off-highway four-wheeled electric vehicles (EVs) market over the next decade by making EVs tailored for various demographics, including mobility solutions for the elderly and disabled. The company follows an asset-light business model through which it leverages its just-in-time production model to align supply and demand trends and minimize excess inventory. To keep margins high, the company outsources the production of some models that are more costly to make in-house. Innovating In The Marketplace LOBO is an innovator in the industry, leveraging advanced technologies in connectivity, multimedia, interactive systems and artificial intelligence to enhance users’ experiences and stand out from its rivals. Take its recently launched solar-powered electric tricycle for one example. It is equipped with high-quality solar panels designed to capture and convert the sun's energy, providing continuous power to the tricycle's electric motor. This environmentally friendly tricycle helps reduce carbon emissions, is cost-effective and is easy to maintain, reports LOBO. Then there is its “King of the Load” e-trike, which is a special-purpose vehicle designed for commuters and delivery services. These e-trikes are not just vehicles but also powerful tools that empower users by providing a means of livelihood, which LOBO says is especially critical in developing countries for increasing income and improving quality of life. Overseas Expansion LOBO is also focusing on growing its footprint, going after emerging markets seeing increased interest in EVs. That includes ASEAN countries, Eastern Europe – including Serbia, Bulgaria and Ukraine – and Latin America. That cushions the blow from any slowdown in China. All of those markets are growing for LOBO, particularly in Latin America. Earlier this month, LOBO announced it received its largest single order for e-bikes this year, including electric tricycles, electric bicycles and its newly introduced solar-powered electric tricycles, from Ecuadorian resellers. “Latin America is one of several global markets we’ve targeted for rapid expansion, and this latest order from Ecuador is a testament to our growing footprint and the strong demand for our products in this region,” said CEO Huajian Xu. So far in 2024, LOBO says it has consistently received orders for e-bikes and e-trikes from Latin American dealers in Brazil, Chile, Suriname and other countries. This week LOBO hosted one of Brazil’s top ten electric mobility dealers, which it had been doing business with for about a year. Following the visit, which included a site inspection, the dealer, which generates more than $8 million a year in sales of short-distance electric vehicles, has determined it will consolidate its production and procurement with LOBO. Up until now, it had used several Chinese manufactures. “The Brazilian team was particularly impressed with our new model electric tricycles and small four-wheeled elderly mobility vehicle samples. They closely examined the detailed design and craftsmanship, praising our R&D and manufacturing capabilities. The on-the-spot discussions about specific vehicle orders indicate their strong intent to form a close cooperative partnership,” said Xu. LOBO has been steadily gaining share over the past few years in Latin America and elsewhere, which it credits to its ongoing investment in R&D. That enables LOBO to develop products that resonate with the masses and provide a greener alternative. That is particularly important in the new markets LOBO is going after. Not only are its EVs cheaper than gas-powered vehicles, they can have a huge positive impact on global warming. They don’t add to emissions and can replace cars in many instances. In the U.S., three-fourths of all trips are ten miles or less, highlighting the utility of EVs. Manufacturing Might Beyond expanding its footprint, LOBO is beefing up its manufacturing so that it can quickly and affordably churn out innovative e-bikes, e-scooters and other green mobility vehicles. Case in point: proceeds from its $5.5 million IPO in March went to expand capacity in a new factory in Wuxi by 20%. That is the equivalent of $27 million in product, LOBO reports. Investors seem to have been taking notice of all these positive developments, with shares of LOBO recently jumping 16.4% over its order from Ecuador and overall growth. At last check, LOBO has 150 distributors in China and 60 spread out around the result of the world. LOBO plans to expand into two to five more countries this year and strike more partnerships. Given its expansion plans, LOBO’s recent run may not be over yet. Featured photo by Maixent Viau on Unsplash.
