Some 42% of adults in the United States are affected by obesity, according to the U.S. CDC. At a global level, a new study released by the journal Lancet reveals that around 1 billion people are now living with obesity, with the number of obese adults having doubled since 1990 and quadrupled among children and adolescents.

The demand for solutions to escalating obesity rates is only growing. Goldman Sachs Research notes that the global market for anti-obesity drugs reached $6 billion on an annualized basis in 2023 and this global market is projected to experience a more than 16-fold increase to $100 billion by 2030. The global growth of anti-obesity drugs is expected to be led by drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, both manufactured by Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO), as well as Mounjaro, made by Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE: LLY).

However, there are concerns that GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy might lead to a loss of muscle mass along with fat mass. This potential side effect highlights a need for new or coinciding treatments that can address obesity while limiting such side effects.

Revolutionizing Obesity Treatment

Medical aesthetics and biopharmaceutical drug development company Elevai Labs Inc. (NASDAQ: ELAB) is working to address this problem. The firm announced on May 2 that it acquired exclusive rights to two new assets that have the potential to limit muscle loss prevention to develop in combination with GLP-1 obesity treatments namely EL-22, a clinical-stage engineered probiotic expressing myostatin, and EL-32, a preclinical engineered probiotic expressing dual myostatin & activin-A.

We believe the adoption and use of other GLP-1 drugs [] increases the desire for related aesthetic procedures linked to the side effects from these drugs, including significant unwanted muscle loss. We see the licensing of these two assets as an opportunity to provide an unmet need in the anti-obesity drug market and expand our brand into a large and growing multi-billion-dollar market, said Elevai Labs CEO Jordan R. Plews.

Elevai plans to test how effective and safe EL-22 is in combination with weight-loss medications currently available on the market. It expects to submit an Investigational New Drug application to the FDA in 2025 and hopes to initiate clinical trials in the U.S. soon thereafter.

New Subsidiaries

In line with its growth in the biotech industry, Elevai Labs announced on May 1 it launched two new wholly-owned subsidiaries Elevai Biosciences and Elevai Skincare.

Elevai Biosciences will focus on acquiring and developing cutting-edge aesthetic medicines, with EL-22 as its lead asset.

Elevai Skincare is a new entity that will continue to advance the companys skincare solutions. The company hopes that the reorganization of its skincare operations will boost focus, agility, and market penetration in order to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the medical aesthetics skincare market.

Commenting on the announcement, Co-founder and CEO Jordan R. Plews stated, The launch of Elevai Biosciences, Inc. and Elevai Skincare, Inc. as wholly-owned operating subsidiaries signifies a significant milestone in our journey towards reshaping the future of medical aesthetics and biotech. With Elevai Biosciences, we believe we are poised to lead the development of next-generation aesthetic medicines, while Elevai Skincare will continue to develop and deliver exceptional cosmetic solutions to our customers worldwide.

Hola Prime Sets New Industry Standard as the World’s Top Transparent Prop Trading Firm

Published

3 hours ago

on

November 25, 2024

By

New York, NY – 25/11/2024 – (SeaPRwire) – Hola Prime is proud to unveil its solutions for Prop trading. The prop trading industry has long faced issues that erode trust and hinder traders’ growth. Problems such as delayed payouts, hidden trading rules, unexpected account breaches, and unreliable price feeds have created a challenging environment, leaving many traders feeling disillusioned and unsupported. Hola Prime, however, is transforming the industry by prioritizing transparency and trader support.

In a market where delayed and denied payouts have become an unfortunate norm, Hola Prime distinguishes itself with fast, reliable, and secure payment processes. Traders at Hola Prime can choose from multiple payment methods to receive their payouts within just one hour, ensuring that their earnings are accessible when needed. Furthermore, unlike several other prop firms, Hola Prime does not charge any fee on the payouts. This prompt and no-fee payment system reflects Hola Prime‘s commitment to fairness and reliability, addressing one of the industry’s most pressing concerns. As Ashutosh Sharma, Head of Risk and Compliance, explains, “Even though we are not obliged to follow any capital market regulations, we chose to operate in a disciplinary way as it is healthy for business. Our Payout Funds Segregation policy allows us to ensure we always have funds readily available to process our trader’s payouts.” To this, he further added, “We have maintained a 99.9% payout completion rate within one hour since launch.”

Hola Prime’s commitment to transparency goes beyond efficient payouts. In an unprecedented move, the firm publishes a Price Transparency Report, a comprehensive tick-by-tick data report, comparing the price ticks on their trading platforms with the market prices advertised on TradingView to ensure complete transparency. Hola Prime’s CFO, Ms. Sumedha explains, “In a decentralized forex market, we are the first and only prop firm to provide this level of price transparency for our traders.”

One of the biggest frustrations traders face is denied payouts and the sudden closure of accounts due to hidden rules and unexpected breaches. Unlike other firms that may use these tactics to withhold payments or deny payouts, Hola Prime takes a different approach. The firm clearly outlines all trading conditions on its website, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Additionally, if a trader’s behaviour indicates that they may end up breaching certain prohibited trading rules, they receive risk alerts, enabling them to take immediate corrective action and avoid potential violations. This proactive approach underscores Hola Prime’s belief that the firm’s success is intrinsically linked to the success of its traders.

Besides this, Hola Prime has implemented a unique support system for traders who do not pass their initial challenges. Instead of being left without guidance, traders receive personalized lesson videos that review their performance and offer guidance for improvement. These detailed analyses empower traders to learn from their mistakes, refine their strategies, and better prepare for future opportunities.

Hola Prime’s commitment to transparency is further evident in its open communication practices. The firm shares detailed performance analyses with traders on their dashboard, providing insights into what worked well and what needs adjustment. This level of support helps traders closely monitor their performance and achieve success.

By addressing long-standing issues in the industry and prioritizing transparency, Hola Prime is setting a new benchmark for the industry.

Hola Prime’s CEO, Mr. Somesh Kapuria states, ” Since the launch, Hola Prime has experienced a remarkable surge in trader onboarding, with a 140% increase in new sign-ups in the first month alone.” This early momentum speaks to the trust traders are placing in Hola Prime’s transparent practices and supportive ecosystem. With its innovative solutions, Hola Prime is not just being there in the prop industry – it is revitalizing it and fostering an environment where trust and mutual success are paramount.

About Hola Prime

Hola Prime is a global proprietary trading firm renowned for its commitment to transparency. Serving prop traders across 175+ countries with access to over 50 trading instruments, Hola Prime provides a reliable and efficient trading environment.

DuckChain Mainnet Launch: Bridging Web2 and Web3 with ISO Innovation

Published

4 hours ago

on

November 25, 2024

By

Last year, Paradigm’s CTO Georgios Konstantopoulos pointed out the inefficiencies in how crypto chains and assets work together via one of his tweets. His thoughts highlighted a major issue in Web3 adoption: complexity.

This native model has become a big hurdle in mass adoption of web3. Even completing one single transaction at times requires too many complex steps Just to make a transaction on a new Layer 1 or Layer 2, a user needs to create an account, securely store the private key or seed phrase, buy gas tokens via a centralized exchange, or bridge assets from another chain-just to start interacting with the new ecosystem.

This process can overwhelm traditional users used to simple “plug-and-play”systems. Thankfully, Web3 builders are introducing “execution-free” solutions to make onboarding easier.

DuckChain: Bridging Web2 and Web3 with ISO

DuckChain is leading the way of this evolution. As the first consumer-grade Layer solution on The Open Network (TON), DuckChain introduced the innovative concept of ISO (Initial Star Offering). This allows users to convert Telegram Stars into on-chain Star assets, bridging Web2 and Web3 seamlessly.

This unique feature makes DuckChain the key to onboarding millions of Telegram users into Web3. It also connects TON with EVM and Bitcoin ecosystems, boosting liquidity and bringing developers to TON.

The market has also recognized DuckChain’s narrative and growth potential.

DuckChain’s Testnet Achievements

DuckChain’s testnet was a massive success:

  • Daily Active Users: Over 2 Million on MiniApps
  • Total Transactions: 29 million
  • User Deposits: $2 million from Web2 users
  • Paying Users: 1 Million
  • Partners: Supported by 20+ partners like Arbitrum and OKX

With the mainnet launch, DuckChain is all set to accelerate Telegram’s evolution into a super app and open a portal connecting the Web2 and Web3 worlds.

ISO: Introducing Telegram Stars as Unified Gas for Chain Transactions

DuckChain, the first TON-based Layer solution built on Arbitrum Orbit, positions itself as a consumer layer. Its mission is to onboard nearly a billion Telegram users to blockchain infrastructure.

Today, most blockchains use their native tokens as gas fees which means users need different tokens for various ecosystems, which makes cross-chain transactions complicated. DuckChain solves this by creating a unified gas system through ISO (Initial Star Offering). With ISO, Telegram Stars can easily be turned into on-chain assets to pay gas fees.

DuckChain’s new mainnet supports assets for on-chain activities. Future updates will also add features like account and chain abstraction to make transactions even easier.

Telegram Star, the native token for the Telegram ecosystem, simplifies payments for services and goods. It can be purchased directly with Apple Pay or Google Pay without needing third-party platforms. Both Web2 and Web3 users can use Telegram Stars within DuckChain, making transactions simple and accessible.

This system not only connects Web2 and Web3 users but also opens doors for wider use of decentralized finance (DeFi) within Telegram’s ecosystem.

DuckChain: Enabling Telegram’s Super App Ambitions

Telegram has integrated with TON and launched MiniApps, aiming to become a Web3 super app.

However, building a mature Web3 ecosystem requires three essentials: user traffic, liquidity, and a thriving ecosystem.

Currently, the Telegram ecosystem faces 3 key challenges:

  1. A predominantly off-chain user base of nearly 1 billion.
  2. A TVL of $300M concentrated in TON and stablecoins, indicating liquidity shortages.
  3. Complex development frameworks which slows developer participation.

DuckChain addresses these challenges through ISO, liquidity hubs, and modular development tools.

TON’s Liquidity Hub

EVM-compatible chains currently hold 80% of the total $100 billion in DeFi, while Bitcoin assets represent a large, untapped $1.8 trillion market. TON’s ecosystem, however, faces liquidity shortages. DuckChain, built on Arbitrum Orbit, connects TON with EVM-compatible ecosystems for seamless interoperability.

Moreover, it integrates deeply with Bitcoin L2 solutions, such as Babylon, making it a crucial bridge for TON’s liquidity and value exchange.

DuckChain’s mainnet introduces solutions like multi-chain and liquidity abstraction, enabling users to pay gas fees using various tokens, including TON and Telegram Star. It also incentivizes TON staking through DuckChain, offering annual yields and facilitating liquidity flow between ecosystems.

Modular Tools for Developers

To overcome TON’s development complexity, DuckChain collaborates with Arbitrum to provide an EVM-compatible framework, simplifying the creation, deployment, and migration of applications. Developers can leverage staking, marketplaces, DID systems, and other modular tools to build scalable dApps, seamlessly integrated with Telegram MiniApps.

DuckChain has already attracted over 50 ecosystem projects, fueling early-stage growth in TON’s application layer.
