Global Blockchain’s Statement to Investors Regarding Q2 Performance

As the cryptocurrency markets have depreciated in comparison to their height at the end of 2017, the overall performance of the space has fallen in kind. Despite this, Global Blockchain remains positioned to drive healthy revenues with its current developments in the blockchain ecosystem. As its share price has fallen, the Company is issuing a statement to its investors to clarify its present situation.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  GLOBAL BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES CORP. (CSE:BLOC) (CSE:BLOC.CN) (CSE:BLOC.CNX) (FSE:BWSP) (OTC:BLKCF) ("BLOC" or the "Company") acknowledges that its investors may find the performance of cryptocurrency assets and the drop in BLOC’s share price to be alarming. After receiving several inquiries on the matter, the Company has elected to put forward a statement to its investors to provide clarity regarding the present state of affairs, and additional insights about the Company’s current circumstances that indicate a long-term positive outlook.

Over the past month, the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has fallen considerably. The total market capitalization on May 29, 2018 was just over US $330 billion. As of today, just one month later, that figure has sunk to US $234 billion. With this, BLOC’s common shares on the CSE went from CA $0.46 on May 29, 2018, to CA $0.26 at the close of trading today, one month later. Despite this dramatic loss in value, investors in the Company should not lose confidence, as this data alone is not reliable to forecast BLOC’s performance in Q3 2018 and beyond. There are several other factors to take into account – which, when considered together, provide an objectively positive short-term and long-term view of BLOC’s shares as an investment.

All Projects on Schedule

BLOC is presently undertaking several projects – a number of which remain under confidentiality due to the involvement of major corporations as well as government entities. An “at-a-glance” breakdown of some of the more notable projects is provided below. There are not presently any significant roadblocks to any of these projects. There will be considerable movement on each of the projects below prior to the end of 2018.

Stratus Peer-to-Peer Storage Marketplace

Using the blockchain to automate buying and selling of storage space from enterprise IT users, Stratus will help companies liquidate their excess storage space by renting it out to other enterprise users at prices about 50% lower than most cloud providers. The marketplace is structured in a manner similar to how AirBnB enables the simplified rental of short-term accommodations. The Stratus website will be live in early Q3 of 2018.

Laser Blockchain Network

Laser is a hard fork of Ethereum, and it has features to include anonymity, near-instant transactions, and blockchain interoperability. The Company has received significant interest in Laser since its announcement in April. The crowdsale for Laser’s Photon token will be launched in early Q3 of 2018.

Tokenization of Gaming Networks

In collaboration with 12 gaming network operators that have a combined base of more than 400 million users, BLOC is working to tokenize each of these networks to enrich the user experience and strengthen user engagement. This will enable functionality for eSports, as well as wagering. This is currently set to launch in early Q4 of 2018.

Trade Finance Solution

The Company is building a blockchain-based solution to optimize trade finance processes and make the supply chain more efficient for international trade. There are several major players involved in the development of this project – to include government bodies, port authorities, and leading banks.

Securitization of IP with Tokens

Individuals will be able to invest in fractional ownership of intellectual property to include music, videos, and brands. This will be made possible by creating tokenized securities out of a given brand identity or creative work, something not possible before the advent of blockchain. This is presently expected to be launched in early Q4 of 2018.

Tokenized Forex Trading Network

This will be an exchange federated on the Stellar network, for the trade of foreign currencies. Several leading exchange and remittance partners are involved in this project and will be announced close to the exchange’s launch, presently set for early Q3 of 2018.

The Company continues to be well financed for all its major developments.
