Siebert Williams Shank Grows Public Finance Team with Another Key Hire

Siebert Williams Shank

New York, NY — April 25, 2024 — Siebert Williams Shank & Co. (SWS) announces a key new hire in public finance industry veteran Collin Teague, most recently an Executive Director of the Municipal Securities Department at Morgan Stanley. Teague will serve as a Manager Director in Siebert Williams Shank’s public finance group, highlighting the firm’s steadfast and growing commitment to expand its municipal finance practice in 2024. Teague comes to SWS with 19 years of municipal banking experience at Morgan Stanley, BofA Securities, and Goldman Sachs. He has executed numerous public finance deals for a diversified set of infrastructure and transportation issuing clients across the Midwest Region and Texas, including a $2.9 billion green-field toll road for the Grand Parkway Transportation Corporation in Houston. As a Manager Director of Public Finance at SWS, Teague will focus on originating business with surface transportation issuers throughout the country. “Collin joining us is further evidence of our commitment to growing our public finance platform with a particular emphasis on those areas where we believe there will be voluminous issuance,” said Gary Hall, President of Infrastructure & Public Finance at the firm. “Given the need for both capital improvements and investment in the surface transportation sector, we want to have a seasoned banker focused in this area.” Based in Siebert Williams Shank’s New York office, Teague will provide investment banking services and structure deal transactions for toll roads, highways, and transit systems. “With the COVID relief money running out, we believe these municipalities need to raise capital in other ways, which we think is in the issuance of bonds,” said Sewon Kim, Manager Director and Head of Transportation Group. “So we see opportunities because of that, in addition to tremendous infrastructure needs across the country. Having a senior banker like Collin investing his time and efforts on the surface transportation sector will give us significant leverage in a key growth area of public finance.” Teague is known as a highly technical banker with broad intellectual curiosity and a strong work ethic. “Siebert is a growing company while several others are not growing or even contracting,” Teague said. “Municipal finance is a core business of Siebert, and the surface transportation side really attracted me because that’s what I want to focus on in the next step of my career.” Dually headquartered in New York, NY and Oakland, CA, SWS is an independent non-bank financial services firm that offers investment banking, sales and trading, research, and advisory services. Its mission is to exceed expectations through value-added results and leave a lasting impact on the sectors, corporations, and communities they serve. SWS counts 74 Fortune 100 companies among its clients. ### Contact Details Butler Associates Tom Butler +1 646-213-1802 TButler@ButlerPR.com Company Website https://www.siebertwilliams.com/

BTC Halving Could See Wild Volatility Swings -- ICOs Offer Steady Gains

RoundHouse Media

The world of cryptocurrency is bracing for a potentially volatile period after the recent conclusion of the highly-anticipated Bitcoin halving event. Completed on April 19th, the halving is a pre-programmed software update that cuts the number of new Bitcoins created in half. While historically, these halvings have been bullish for Bitcoin’s price, analysts are divided on whether this time is different. This article explores the potential for volatility surrounding the Bitcoin halving and introduces Galaxy Fox, the best upcoming ICO that is poised for significant growth in 2024. Bitcoin Halving: What’s at Stake? The concept of Bitcoin halving is fundamental to its design, occurring approximately every four years. This event cuts the rewards miners receive for validating transactions in half, reducing the rate at which new Bitcoin enters circulation. Historically, halving events have triggered significant price movements, often driving up demand and scarcity perception among investors. However, this time seems different. Analysts caution that much of the halving’s impact may already be priced into Bitcoin. The surge leading up to the event reflected anticipation rather than intrinsic value. Moreover, geopolitical tensions and broader market dynamics may have overshadowed the halving’s immediate effects on Bitcoin’s price. While halvings historically fueled bullish sentiment, the current landscape invites a more cautious outlook. Bitcoin’s history is replete with volatility, characterized by dramatic price swings driven by market sentiment, regulatory developments, and macroeconomic factors. The halving, though a significant event, is but one piece of the puzzle. As Bitcoin grapples with its narrative as a store of value or a speculative asset, investors must navigate the uncertainty with caution. For some, Bitcoin’s volatility presents opportunities for profit-taking and strategic entry points. Short-term traders may capitalize on price swings, leveraging technical analysis and market psychology to maximize returns. Conversely, long-term investors weather the storm, confident in Bitcoin’s potential to emerge stronger amidst market turbulence. Galaxy Fox: Navigating the Crypto Landscape Amidst Bitcoin’s volatility, Galaxy Fox emerges as a promising investment opportunity, offering stability and growth potential in a rapidly evolving crypto landscape. With its successful presale, raising over $6 million and selling 3.75 billion tokens, the best upcoming ICO Galaxy Fox has captured the attention of investors seeking innovative projects with tangible utility. Galaxy Fox’s integration into the web3 gaming sphere positions it at the forefront of blockchain gaming innovation. Its ERC20 token, $GFOX, has surged in value, reflecting market confidence in its utility and potential for widespread adoption. As this good crypto to buy gears up for its launch, investors eagerly anticipate its impact on the crypto market. Unlocking Potential with Galaxy Fox Galaxy Fox’s token listing last April 18 marked a significant milestone, signaling its readiness to disrupt the crypto landscape. With a clear roadmap and strategic partnerships, Galaxy Fox offers investors a unique opportunity to participate in the burgeoning blockchain gaming sector. Its staking options provide attractive returns, incentivizing long-term commitment and community engagement. What’s more, this best cheap crypto to buy right now has allocated 100% of its raised funds to the liquidity pool, ensuring smooth trading for investors on decentralized exchanges (DEX) like Uniswap. The game launch slated for May 11 promises to showcase Galaxy Fox’s technological prowess and gaming innovation. As excitement mounts, investors stand poised to reap the rewards of early adoption, positioning themselves for long-term growth and sustainability. Conclusion: Join the Galaxy Fox Community While Bitcoin’s halving event did result in volatility, opportunities abound for savvy investors seeking stability and growth. Galaxy Fox represents hope in a tumultuous market, offering steady gains and innovative solutions in the blockchain gaming space. As you navigate the crypto landscape, let us embrace the future with optimism and strategic foresight.

OCEAN innovates: Bitcoin miners offered first ever Lightning Payouts using BOLT12

Bitcoin Ocean,LLC

OCEAN [ link ], the Bitcoin mining pool backed by Jack Dorsey and spearheaded by longtime Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr, released its latest innovation offering miners payouts over the Bitcoin Lightning network using cutting edge Lightning tech BOLT12. Lightning is a network that sits on top of Bitcoin enabling higher throughput of transactions at lower cost. Lightning allows users to have hundreds or even thousands of interactions while carrying out fewer base layer transactions, effectively solving the scalability problem that will help Bitcoin fulfill its potential as a secure, decentralized, peer to peer network. According to OCEAN co-founder Luke Dashjr, “Pools traditionally have held miners’ bitcoins like a bank, while on-chain Bitcoin transactions get increasingly expensive as the demand for Bitcoin rises. For small miners, the problem is exacerbated since in some cases the cost of the transaction fee is higher than the reward that they earn. This is unsustainable because it creates lock-in to custodial pools. OCEAN helps overcome this risk using Lightning.” While not a nascent technology in Bitcoin, much of the development in Lightning has focused on infrastructure or rails upon which users can transact. OCEAN’s latest development solves a complimentary challenge by creating another path of liquidity from Bitcoin to miners. Perhaps the most innovative part of OCEAN’s upgrade is BOLT12 integration. BOLT12 is a nextgen upgrade in Lightning which solves previous limitations that restricted Lightning’s utility and adoption. OCEAN is the first mining pool to use it, and has done so in an effort to respect the core tenets of decentralization and miner-sovereignty. Bitcoin Mechanic, Global Head of Sales for OCEAN, added, “Using BOLT12 also allows us to prove to the world that a payment was made, the size of the payment, the node to which it was paid, and that it was paid by us. This means we can continue to offer fully transparent and verifiable pooled mining while no longer being restricted by the base layer.” Since its launch 5 months ago, OCEAN has created a paradigm shift in what’s possible with mining pools, offering transparency, non-custodial mining rewards, permissionless access, and miner-chosen block templates; now with Lightning via BOLT12, miners can also get liquidity directly into a Lightning channel without having to rely on third party custodians. This latest announcement aligns with OCEAN’s overarching goal of increasing miners’ sovereignty while promoting greater transparency and decentralization in the world of Bitcoin mining. About OCEAN: OCEAN empowers miners to take back control of the intelligent parts of mining, and is designed to be non-custodial, transparent, and permissionless. OCEAN is operated by Bitcoin Ocean, LLC, a subsidiary of Mummolin, Inc., a Wyoming corporation and a successor to the Eligius Bitcoin mining pool which operated from 2011 to 2017.

Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals outlines significant progress with HEMO-CAR-T in 2023

HemoGenyx Pharmaceuticals

Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals PLC CEO Dr Vladislav Sandler tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that 2023 was a significant year for the company, marked by notable progress with its HEMO-CAR-T product candidate. The key achievement for the year was the submission of a new Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to commence a phase one clinical trial for the treatment of relapsed refractory acute myeloid leukemia. However, the process faced a setback due to issues with lentivirus purity, resulting in a clinical hold. After re-manufacturing the lentivirus, Hemogenyx successfully addressed the FDA's concerns and received approval to proceed with the clinical trials. Furthermore, Sandler reported a successful fundraising which will support the upcoming clinical studies. The company also entered a service agreement with Prevail Infoworks for the clinical trials. In addition to its advancements in HEMO-CAR-T, Hemogenyx continued developing other programs, such as its proprietary Chimeric Bait Receptor (CBR) platform, showing promise in treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma and exploring applications in solid rare tumors. For 2024, the primary focus remains on advancing these clinical trials, particularly the phase one studies, with an immediate goal to initiate patient treatment.
