MainBloq launches next generation micro service cloud infrastructure for trading digital assets
Fernhill Corp (OTC Markets:FERN), a Web3 Cloud Based Infrastructure platform focused on providing APIs for digital asset trading, NFT marketplaces and data aggregation solutions, is pleased to provide the following corporate update.
Fernhill Corp is pleased to make a big announcement that MainBloq Cloud has just launched as a newly rearchitected version of its platform that can connect users with over 50 digital asset exchanges and DeFi venues. This next generation platform is based upon Microservices, Cloud based, Modular Plug-in architecture which is geared to be highly scalable, incredibly stable, and have extensive interoperability with a wide range of other platforms and partners. MainBloq Cloud is also built to be delivered via API, a White Label basis, or On-Premise based upon the needs of institutional and enterprise clients and their preferred deployment requirements.
We are now stronger as a unified team with one mission and one vision," said Ryan Kuiken, CEO of MainBloq. With the recent volatility in the market and removal of our former CTO, it enabled us to take a step back and look at our platform through a different lens, which has set us up to create a more stable and scalable product leveraging the latest technology and the new microservices architecture. Were very excited about MainBloq Cloud and its future potential!
Although losing a CTO can be detrimental to growing a company, and it did set the company back a bit on its timelines and resources, in this case, moving on has already had a very positive impact. Most importantly, the technology has advanced by leaps and bounds under the new development team led by Fernhills VP of Engineering, Nathanael Coonrod.
Fernhill President Marc Lasky added At this point, the development is being done based upon the highest of standards and professionalism, which includes the proper integration of unit testing and software documentation which has created a superior product that is leading to a far better user experience. In fact, with the feedback we are receiving, users are expressing greater satisfaction. This new, more stable platform will also enable the Company to better market its services to targeted institutions and enterprise clients that seek professional digital asset trading solutions and data aggregation tools. This has already led to a much more engaged sales team at MainBloq given the dramatic improvements to the platform and the increased quality of the product.

Fernhill launches DIGXNFT Marketplace and NFT infrastructure platform Beta
We have a new member of the FernHill MainBloq blockchain family. The beta launch is official of the DIGXNFT Marketplace that's powered by the NFTX cloud infrastructure. We now offer API infrastructure to enable anyone to be able to easily build and launch an NFT offing. All with a single frictionless API.
Fernhill Corp (OTCMKTS:FERN), a Web3 holding company focused on software solutions and marketplace infrastructure for digital assets, is pleased to announce the beta launch of its NFT Marketplace, DIGXNFT.
DIGXNFT caters to high-quality and exceptionally curated collections of art, music, videos, gaming, photography, domain names, real estate, and sports memorabilia, among other categories. Additionally, the company will provide white glove service with a full turn-key solution to assist creators with the minting, marketing, and selling of their non-fungible token (NFT) collection.
“Although the NFT world is a very competitive landscape, we feel confident that with our state-of-the-art infrastructure and our management team in place, we will not only succeed but thrive,” said Marc Lasky, President of Fernhill Corp. “We have a detailed roadmap that is strategically planned to continually build upon and improve our Marketplace, and with our decades of experience growing businesses, we know how to run a process and execute on our goals.”
In beta, users will be able to:
- Connect their MetaMask wallets and create an account.
- Learn more about our first showcased collection: Fraud – The Game of White-Collar Crime (artwork by world-famous artist Rick Parker).
- Join our Discord channel.
- Review our roadmap and read our white paper.
The first NFT collection, Fraud – The Game, will launch on the DIGXNFT marketplace for viewing on July 21st. The official drop date is scheduled for Wednesday, July 27th.
Fraud – The Game of White-Collar Crime, was conceived as a satirical card game by Pete Newman, a cybersecurity professional and fraud expert. Artwork was completed by world-famous comic artist Rick Parker, best known as the artist behind MTV’s Beavis and Butthead Comic Book and staff artist at Marvel Comics.
”Fraud is not only a fun, tongue in cheek game, but at its core it’s really an amazing collection of art,“ said creator Pete Newman. “Thanks to the outstanding artwork of my partner in crime, artist Rick Parker, it makes perfect sense to sell this as an NFT game and as exclusive artwork.”
This is a limited release collection with multiple NFTs to choose from. The NFTs are intended to be part of a larger community and online game that is currently in development. The sale will last one week and all NFTs will be available on a first-come, first served basis.
“Ultimately, everything will become – or be attached to – an NFT,” said Chris Kern, Chairman of Fernhill. “The NFT and metaverse industry are expected to grow in excess of $3 trillion over the next decade and experience unprecedented growth – no temporary market downturn can stop what NFTs will surely become. There are an infinite number of use cases for NFTs and we feel it’s necessary to establish ourselves in the market and seize this unique opportunity now. We’re very excited about launching DIGXNFT, and that more collections will come as we get through beta.”

This Week in Digital Asset Headlines - June 21st, 2021
We find the most important headlines in digital assets for the week and give you our take. This week's themes were institutional adoption and regulation, here are your headlines for June 21st, 2021:
GOLDMAN SACHS EXPANTS CRYPTO TRADING
Synopsis: Goldman Sachs has expanded their offerings to clients to include Ether options and futures to go along with their Bitcoin offerings.
Theme: Institutional Adoption
Our Take: It's a great signal that the institutions who have dipped their toes into digital assets have expanded their offerings to their clients.
SEC DELAYS RULING ON BITCOIN ETF AGAIN
Synopsis : The SEC, who has signaled that they may rule on regulations surrounding Crypto ETFs in the past few months, have announced they will not be releasing guidance this year.
Theme: Regulation
Our take: We believe any digital asset ETF will be a positive for the industry as it will allow a wider adoption via more traditional on-ramps for institutions and retail.
HEDGE FUNDS EXPECT ~10% OF THEIR ASSETS TO BE CRYPTO WITHIN FIVE YEARS
Synopsis: Hedge funds plan to ramp up their crypto holdings to more than 7% of assets by 2026, a survey showed.
Theme: Institutional adoption
Our take: Hedge funds love the volatility and opportunity for alpha that digital assets presents. We believe as the market continues to mature this number will be larger.
MANY MORE CALLS FOR REGULATION
Synopsis: Representatives from India, Italy, China, and even Mark Cuban have called for regulation amid a volatile few weeks in the crypto markets.
Theme: Regulation
Our take: The time for regulation is now. We must establish the rules of the road if the market is going to mature.

This Week in Digital Asset Headlines - June 14th, 2021
We find the most important headlines in digital assets for the week and give you our take. This week's themes were institutional adoption and regulation, here are your headlines for June 14th, 2021:
MORE U.S. FINANCE GIANTS DIPPING THEIR TOES INTO DIGITAL ASSETS
Synopsis: JP Morgan, State Street, and Interactive Brokers have announced separate entries into digital assets. This adds to a growing list of companies who have dipped their toes into digital assets including Morgan Stanley and BlackRock, BNY Mellon, and Goldman Sachs.
Theme: Institutional Adoption
Our Take: As cryptocurrency matures we anticipate more and more growth in institutional clients. We believe that the increase in institutional clients will call for a maturation of infrastructure throughout the industry. We're still in the early nineties of the world wide web.
INSTIUTIONAL CLIENTS UP 170% IN Q1 FOR COINBASE
Synopsis : Coinbase has over 8,000 institutional clients holding over $120B in assets.
Theme: Institutional Adoption
Our take: Bull markets are hard to ignore, nobody wants to be on the sideline during a parabolic move. The total assets held is a small fraction of the pie, but it is increasing. We talk to institutional clients every day who are looking to trade across multiple venues with one click.
BITCOIN IS LEGAL TENDER IN EL SALVADOR
Synopsis: El Salvador president Nayib Bukele announced that Bitcoin will be accepted as legal tender in El Salvador.
Theme: Institutional adoption
Our take: One of the main blockers of Bitcoin being accepted as a currency has been its lack of use as a means of exchange—could this be a first step? The asset is too volatile to be used as a currency today, but if more states and companies being accepting Bitcoin that could help quell its volatility.
A RUNDOWN OF CRYPTO REGULATIONS
Synopsis: Representatives from America, India, El Salvador, and China have made headlines over the past week when it comes to regulating cryptocurrency.
Theme: Regulation
Our take: Creating headlines is easy, enacting and enforcing regulations is tough. This isn't the first time that China has banned cryptocurrency. We look forward to good faith efforts of all governments to create rational regulations to enable everyone to understand and follow the rules.
MIKE NOVOGRATZ CALLS FOR MORE REGULATION ON CRYPTOCURRENCY
Synopsis: Cryptocurrency evangelist and former Fortress Investment Group and Goldman Sachs partner has called for more regulation on digital assets to boost investor confidence.
Theme: Regulation
Our take: A lack of clarity has kept institutions from seriously investing in the asset class. The most common thing we hear from our institutional clients is that the lack of clarity and clear guardrails is the biggest blocker from making a serious investment in the space.

Here come the crypto trading algorithms
After spending a few decades on the street I got to see first-hand how the trading algorithm revolution lead to sophisticated and complex strategies that were necessary to execute trades efficiently and effectively. This revolution is coming to cryptocurrency.
First, let’s define what a trading algorithm is—simply put, algorithms are a method of executing orders using a set of rules based on a multitude of dimensions (volume, time, venue) in order to fan out orders to accomplish certain objectives (speed, secrecy, price).
The most important thing to remember is that not all algos are created equal. That’s why we’ve assembled a team of street veterans with experience crafting algorithms for some of the most successful shops.
Our algorithms include a blend of well-established algorithms along with custom algorithms created by our team. Unlike most existing cryptocurrency algorithms, all of our algorithms execute across multiple venues. Our algorithms can be blended according to each individual trader’s strategy.
- BASKET - Executes multiple trades of multiple coins simultaneously and over a period of time using TWAP or other time-based strategies.
- TWAP (Time Weighted Average Price) - Executes trades evenly over a specified time period
- VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) - Executes trades evenly based on trading volume.
- THOR - Executes one order across multiple venues so they arrive at each venue at the same time to minimize market impact.
- ICEBERG - Executes orders in random slice sizes over a period of time over multiple venues to minimize market impact.
- Pairs Trades - Executes two trades of individual coins while maintaining a balance between the long and the short side of the trade.
- IWAP (Information Weight Average Price) - A custom Mainbloq algorithm that trades in windows of fixed notional while varying the duration.
- ISR (Implementation Shortfall Reducer) - A custom Mainbloq algorithm that reduces slippage and balances market impact by controlling the rate of execution.
These algorithms are just the start. We’re crafting sophisticated strategies to ensure our clients can execute effectively and efficiently. We also work with our clients to create tailored algorithms so they can execute their trading strategies.
Our mission at Mainbloq is to bring the sophistication of traditional finance to digital assets. Our streaming smart order router is the most efficient way to trade cryptocurrencies across multiple exchanges. Our algorithms help traders execute their strategies smarter. You might be thinking, what comes next? You’ll just have to wait and see...
