DRDGOLD declares 17th consecutive interim dividend as higher gold price boosts first-half revenue

DRDGOLD Ltd

DRDGOLD Ltd CEO Niël Pretorius takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's first-half highlights, including a 12% increase in revenue, largely supported by a firmer gold price, and its 17th year of an interim dividend. Gold production was 7% lower on the back of a 13% drop in throughput, the result of delays in the commissioning of two high-volume sites due to community issues and delays in obtaining regulatory approvals respectively. Pretorius said the company made up tonnes from a number of legacy and clean-up sites. Pretorius also announced significant advancements in sustainability and efficiency, including the completion of a new solar plant by March end, followed by a battery storage system in October, to enhance cost savings and supply consistency. Additionally, he detailed the next major capital investment in phase two of the Far West Gold Recoveries to double plant capacity and build the 800 million tonne Regional Tailings Storage Facility for which regulatory approvals are imminent.

Technology Minerals' Recyclus unveils 'milestone' lithium-ion EV battery recycling partnership

Technology Minerals PLC

Technology Minerals PLC chairman Robin Brundle joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of a milestone partnership between subsidiary Recyclus Group and Sureservice Autocentres, marking a crucial step in their commitment to safe storage, logistics, and the recycling of EV batteries. The collaboration leverages Recyclus' Wolverhampton facility for the end-of-life processing of lithium-ion batteries, ensuring they are not improperly stored or discarded. The deal with Slicker Recycling enhances its capability to collect hazardous waste from the automotive sector across the UK, utilising over 100 vehicles and nine depots, facilitating around 25,000 collections annually. This system supports the safe and timely collection of materials from both independent and franchise dealer networks. Brundle highlighted the dangers associated with the improper storage of EV batteries, citing recent incidents of fires in dealerships and during transport, underscoring the need for secure transportation solutions like its custom-designed LiBoxes. The process upon the batteries' arrival at the Wolverhampton facility involves thorough inspection, and processing of all five battery chemistries without water or landfill waste, and aims to achieve a sustainable circular economy. Technology Minerals is also exploring ways to separate black mass to retain critical raw materials within the UK, indicating a broader vision for sustainable resource management. Brundle revealed that additional partnerships are in negotiation, promising more updates on their progress. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

HANetf founder and co-CEO talks about new junior uranium miners ETF, Future of Defence and Bitcoin

HANetf Holdings Limited

HANetf founder and Co-CEO Hector McNeil joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with news that the company is launching the Sprott Junior Uranium Miners UCITS ETF under the ticker 'URNJ' on the London Stock Exchange and on the Deutsche Börse this Friday. The ETF, which focuses on small and medium-sized uranium companies, is highly anticipated, having generated significant interest on social media. Sprott, the sponsor of this product in the US, has seen its version gather around $400 million in assets in less than a year. McNeil explained the demand for this ETF is driven by a recognition of nuclear power's role in providing a consistent clean energy source and a supply squeeze exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. URNM, HANetf's broader uranium miners product, was the top-performing thematic ETF in Europe last year with a 45% return. McNeil also highlighted the Future of Defence UCITS ETF (NATO), which benefits from current geopolitical tensions. This ETF is unique as it includes companies affiliated with NATO members or affiliates, aiming to capitalize on increased defence spending commitments among NATO countries. Also under the spotlight was the ETC Group Physical Bitcoin ETF (BTCE), the most traded crypto spot ETF in Europe, boasting $1.3 billion in assets. This product underscores the growing acceptance and demand for cryptocurrency investment options in Europe, despite scepticism surrounding the digital asset class. McNeil told Proactive he recently attended the largest annual ETF conference in Miami Beach, which focused significantly on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency ETFs, reflecting the industry's evolution and its bullish outlook towards a future valued at $50 trillion in the next decade.

HTX

February 2024 ushers in a thrilling start in the crypto market, with Bitcoin surging past $52,000. The Restaking ecosystem is ablaze, with leading projects like EigenLayer, Puffer, Merlin Chain, and BounceBit gradually launching and introducing on-chain staking to provide a new consensus basis for the ecosystem. As investors flock to seize the opportunity for the initial airdrops, funds are pouring into the following premium projects to secure the entry points for the airdrops: EigenLayer, a trending Ethereum restaking project with TVL of over $7 billion. Puffer, a trending Ethereum restaking project with TVL of over $1 billion. Merlin Chain, a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution with TVL of over $1.5 billion. BounceBit, a Bitcoin staking chain with TVL of over $0.45 billion. However, engaging in on-chain staking involves complex operations. How can ordinary cryptocurrency investors benefit from this new lucrative narrative? Easily Join HTX's Liquid Restaking with Spot Assets to Receive Free Initial Airdrops from Leading Projects According to an official announcement, HTX, the cryptocurrency exchange, is set to launch its new feature, Liquid Restaking, on February 29, 2024, offering participants amazing rewards.

All participants will share in the rewards generated by the platform's $50 million staking quota, comprising 250 BTC, 2,500 ETH, 25,000,000 USDT, 25,000,000 TRX, and 1,500,000,000,000 HTX.

Read the official announcement for details: https://www.htx.com/support/en-us/detail/104962650981126 Why the Excitement around Restaking with Soaring TVL? The staking and restaking ecosystems have gradually taken shape as a big trend in the upcoming crypto bull run. Meanwhile, teams behind EigenLayer and Puffer boasting many core members of the Ethereum Foundation and major participants, such as top VCs, are jointly driving the new narrative. What is Restaking? Restaking refers to simultaneously using your staked cryptocurrencies (i.e. LSTs) to secure more protocols and earn rewards. Restaking, stemming from liquid staking, sets itself apart by providing liquidity for LSTs as well as additional earning opportunities. Leading restaking projects such as EigenLayer facilitate staking LSTs, such as stETH, to earn rewards. Liquid staking, a way for investors to lock up their cryptocurrencies in exchange for rewards over time, was introduced after Ethereum's adoption of a Proof of Stake (POS) mechanism following the Shanghai upgrade. Projects like Lido utilize stETH to represent the native ETH staking shares, thereby unlocking liquidity from staked assets. LST, on the other hand, stands for Liquid Staking Tokens, issued by projects like Lido, which include tokens such as stETH, cbETH, rETH, etc. These tokens inherently come with APYs. Restaking enables staked assets to be used for more protocols by sharing trust from the Ethereum Beacon staking layer. This not only allows users to earn more rewards but also lets other projects enjoy the same level of consensus and security as the ETH Beacon layer. These projects adopt staking points to track participants' contributions. As per convention, early contributors are expected to receive these projects' native tokens through initial airdrops based on their contributions after the projects' launch between April and September this year. Airdropping cryptocurrencies before their trading starts has garnered significant attention and popularity in the market. Unmissable Restaking Airdrop: Get on Board with Top VC Players! Leading projects, esteemed for their high market capitalization, often distribute lucrative airdrops. These projects have consistently captured the interest and investment of top-tier venture capital firms across multiple funding rounds. According to reports, EigenLayer has successfully secured multiple rounds of financing, led by Blockchain Capital, with the participation of prominent venture capital firms such as Coinbase Ventures, Polychain Capital, Hack VC, and Electric Capital. Puffer, as a derivative project of EigenLayer, has also garnered significant attention. Notably, it has received backing from the Ethereum Foundation and secured two rounds of funding from institutions like Binance Labs, Jump Crypto, Brevan Howard Digital, Bankless Ventures, and Animoca Ventures, as well as angel investors including Anand Iyer from Lightspeed Partners, Sreeram Kannan (EigenLayer's founder), Frederick Allen (Coinbase's Head of Staking), and F2pool and Cobo. This impressive array of investors underscores the project's substantial potential. In the BTC sector, competition is fierce, with top projects like Merlin flexing their muscles. Merlin recently wrapped up a financing round in early February with 24 investors onboard, including OKX Ventures, ABCDE, Foresight Ventures, and Arkstream Capital. Likewise, a prominent player in the BTC Layer 1 sector, has garnered support from renowned entities such as Binance Custody, Mainnet Digital, Breyer Capital, and OKX Ventures. The crypto market has witnessed the arrival of a bull market in 2024. For those who missed out on opportunities like Ordinal Inscriptions and on-chain staking, there's no need to worry! HTX offers you a chance to get on board. Even individuals unfamiliar with on-chain operations can participate by depositing assets into HTX for mining, effortlessly engaging HTX's Liquid Restaking with spot assets, and easily earning airdrop rewards with a snapshot of your Spot account balance. Join hands with top VC players and capitalize on the new bull market in 2024. About HTX Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved over a decade from a simple cryptocurrency exchange to a comprehensive blockchain business ecosystem.

BYDFi: Your Premier Alternative To Major Exchanges

BYDFi Crypto Exchange

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga When it comes to trading cryptocurrency, ease of use, strong volume and access to several digital tokens top many users’ lists. Privacy is another key tenet, especially if you reside in a jurisdiction that isn’t too keen on this form of investing. From the U.K. to Vietnam, several countries either ban cryptocurrency investing or have restrictions that make it more complicated, shutting millions of people out of this popular investment class. It’s why Know Your Customer or KYC procedures that verify a customer’s identity are required with several cryptocurrency exchanges. But for many users that flies in the face of the idea behind cryptocurrency. Because coins are traded on a decentralized platform, transactions remain anonymous. By mandating KYC, the users’ identity is no longer private and if they reside in a country with a restrictive regime that can have serious negative implications. Not to mention, it adds yet another layer of effort, especially if you are converting fiat into digital tokens. The Most Friendly Crypto Exchange? That added step isn’t a requirement at BYDFi Crypto Exchange., the cryptocurrency exchange hailing out of Singapore. The No-KYC policy is borne from the company’s mission to bring flexibility and user-centricity to its exchange, a feature helping it set itself apart from the competition. In certain regions, BYDFi provides tremendous flexibility, allowing users to experience the convenience of digital currencies and the freedom of trading without the need for KYC procedures. That means you can withdraw up to 0.5 BTC each day without verifying your identity. That alone is winning the exchange accolades with many users and reviewers alike. It was ranked one of the top ten cryptocurrency exchanges by Forbes last year. Pretty impressive given it's only been around since 2020. KYC doesn’t have to be an issue when you trade with BYDFi. Get started here. But it's not just that next level of privacy that makes BYDFi, formerly BitYard, stand out. The cryptocurrency exchange was designed to appeal to novice and experienced traders alike, making it the preferred platform for over 500,000 users in more than 150 countries. Through BYDFi they get access to over 550 different cryptocurrencies. As of December 2023, BYDFi had a 24-hour volume of almost $154 million. That’s important because the volume or lack of it can have a big impact on price. It's also one of the few exchanges to convert fiat to crypto, offering an important on-ramp for English investors. Many of the exchanges on the market allow crypto-to-crypto conversions only. Simplicity Has Its Benefits What also makes BYDFi popular with its customers is the ease with which anyone can trade an array of digital tokens without needing an advanced degree. Take its spot trading support for starters. This allows users to buy and sell digital tokens. BYDFi offers three levels depending on the user’s sophistication. The first level makes it quick and easy to buy and sell, while the second tier has advanced features such as charting and analyzing tools. The third level has a convert capability for users who don’t want to off-ramp but instead convert their holdings into stablecoins or crypto that is pegged to a fiat asset. For more advanced traders it offers perpetual contracts and leverage tokens. One other popular feature of BYDFi is the leverage it grants access to via its trading pairs. The exchange provides leverage on over 200 perpetual contract trading pairs, and the leverage on token trading pairs is reportedly the most in the industry. Professional traders use leverage in bull markets to maximize their gains. Top-Notch Customer Support Then there is the company’s customer support. An exchange is only as good as its support, and BYDFi recognizes that. For starters, it offers a user-friendly English interface and responsive customer support. You can get in touch with BYDFi via live chat 24/7, which means if you have a question in the wee hours of the night you’ll get an answer in real-time. If your question isn’t too pressing you can email BYDFi and get an answer within 24 hours. The company also has robust help sections on its website, giving you answers to almost every question you may have. And if that’s not enough you can visit the company’s social media to get help. Increasing numbers around the world are eager to invest in digital tokens, but too many exchanges make the process complicated. BYDFi is changing that with its easy-to-use platform and its no-KYC policy. BYDFi, A First-Choice Option In Case Of Difficulties With Other Brokers? BYDFi’s top notch customer support, the ease with which one can open an account and the availability of leverage on popular products make it a go-to destination. This is especially true when traditional exchanges’ stringent KYC protocols make it difficult or impossible to trade on those exchanges. Over 500,000 users have joined the BYDFi exchange, making it a hotspot amongst both professionals and novices. It’s clear that on whichever end of the spectrum one may lie, BYDFi has something for everyone. Click here to learn more about how to trade over 550 cryptocurrencies with BYDFI.
