Smart-contract powered market empowers issuers and investors
By Vanessa Malone
Upstream, a next generation market part of MERJ Exchange, is proud to announce that LeapCharger (OTC: LCCN) (Upstream: LCCN) and Blackwell 3D Construction Corp. (OTC: BDCC) (Upstream: BDCC) have successfully dual listed this week.
Additionally, Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) has received approval to dual list, and will be available on Upstream starting Wednesday, July 31st.
Upstream is calling on issuers currently listed on national exchanges to dual list and expand their reach to investors beyond their home markets, widening their investor pool and increasing liquidity potential. By dual listing on Upstream, issuers can attract a global investor base, enhancing liquidity and visibility without any additional disclosure requirements as we adopt the regulatory filings of an issuer’s primary exchange.
As a next generation market, we place marketing at the forefront. All Upstream issuers receive a comprehensive marketing package with $100k of IR value, including complimentary services and smart-contract powered tools to help amplify their listing.
Powered by Horizon’s cutting-edge smart-contract technology, Upstream offers a seamless and modern trading experience for international investors, with no account minimums. Traders simply download, complete light-touch KYC, and fund their account using U.S. dollars, credit card, debit card, PayPal, or USDC digital currency all from within the secure trading app. Upstream is designed to unlock liquidity, enhance price discovery, and globalize the opportunity to invest in exciting growth opportunities. We stand out by eliminating short selling, payment for order flow, and traditional middlemen, truly democratizing trading by design.
As issuers know, it’s typically cumbersome for an international retail investor to buy NASDAQ, NYSE, OTC TSX, TSX.V, CSE or NEO listed securities. The concept of buying securities directly from an exchange using an app did not exist for them…until Upstream!
