NewsDirect

Chicago, IL | December 18, 2023 07:00 AM, Eastern

I-ON Digital Corp. (OTC: IONI) (“I-ON Digital” or the “Company”) announced the completion of its previously announced Contribution and Exchange Agreement with Orebits Acquisition Group, LLC (“OAG”), by which I-ON Digital has acquired a controlling interest in Orebits Corp. (“Orebits”), along with Orebits’ gold digitization patent portfolio, trademarks, brand marks, and core intellectual property. As part of this transaction, I-ON Digital will assume control over the Orebits digital platform and 9,700 Orebits.au gold-backed digital assets in exchange for Series C Preferred Shares in I-ON Digital. The Company estimates that the transaction will add approximately $18.2 million in shareholder equity to I-ON’s balance sheet.

I-ON Digital is at the forefront of institutional-level asset digitization, tokenization, and securitization. The Company’s focus is on tangible mineral assets like proven gold and other precious metals reserves. The Company recently added a SaaS platform that will allow banks, broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries to onboard an institutional-level platform further facilitating receipt, management, and reporting in the arena of digital assets. The Company is dedicated to offering innovative solutions that bring tangible value to the banking, financial technology and mineral asset industries.

Employing proprietary means, the Company will immediately convert the 9,700 Orebits.au into I-ON’s own gold-backed digital securities, referred to commercially as ION.au. By leveraging its internally developed and acquired patent & intellectual property portfolio, the Company aims to enhance the underlying value of these digital securities. Having validated internal applications for institutional-level asset digitization and treatment, the Company looks to renew its focus on the acquisition of US-based gold and other mineral asset claims. With the addition of an estimated $18.2 million in shareholder equity, the Company believes that it will be able to offer a broader variety of digital asset–based financial instruments to an expanding list of product and service offerings.

“We are extremely excited to announce the completion of this transaction and can’t wait to deploy increased shareholder equity to further expand and enhance our asset digitization offerings in the marketplace,” shared Ken Park, Director and Chief Marketing Officer of I-ON Digital Corp. “This transaction builds on the technological progress we’ve made this year and will greatly enhance our go-to-market strategies while expanding our product and service offerings along the way.”

I-ON Digital Corp. Enters into Agreement to Finalize Acquisition of Controlling Stake of Orebits Corp. and its Patented Gold-Digitization Technology

NewsDirect

Chicago, IL | October 30, 2023 08:00 AM, Eastern

I-ON Digital Corp. (OTC: IONI), a pioneering force in institutional-level asset digitization and securitization solutions, proudly announced a significant milestone. Today, the Company has entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement with Orebits Acquisition Group, LLC to acquire 910,000 shares of common stock of Orebits Corp. (“Orebits”), representing a controlling interest in Orebits. The Company currently anticipates that the transaction, subject to closing conditions, will close effective with the end of the fourth quarter of 2023.

By virtue of its controlling stake in Orebits, I-ON will acquire a controlling stake in Orebits’s patented gold-digitization technologies. With the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the Company gains ownership of approximately 9,700 Orebits.AU gold-backed digital securities, which will be seamlessly converted into ION.au: I-ON’s proprietary digital asset class. The consummation of the Contribution and Exchange Agreement will, by extension, put the Company in position to further leverage its recently completed secure hybrid blockchain platform and, further, advance the Company’s vision and propel the future of digitized assets. The Company onboarded an initial block of gold-backed digital assets in the second quarter of 2023. As enhanced by the Company’s hybrid blockchain platform and related workflow management, the Company estimates the transaction to be valued at approximately $18 million. The actual value of the transaction may vary depending on market conditions and the results of a year-end audit.

The Contribution and Exchange Agreement further propels I-ON’s overall strategy to revolutionize the way physical gold, precious metal, and mineral claims are converted into digital assets and asset-backed securities allowing claim holders to monetize and leverage their in-situ (in ground) and unrefined reserves. I-ON’s innovative asset-digitization platform, which utilizes next-generation hybrid blockchain technologies together with state-of-the-art smart contracts and advanced workflow management AI, allows mineral and precious metal reserves to be digitized into secure asset-backed securities that provide reserve owners and peripheral investors with new financial channels to maximize liquidity without requiring them to physically remove these assets from the ground, thus protecting the environment and revolutionizing the mining industry as a whole.

“We believe that this acquisition is a significant milestone for our company,” said Ken Park, I-ON’s Chief Marketing Officer and Director. “In addition to increasing our balance sheet, this transaction will finalize the acquisition of a controlling interest in Orebits Corp., which was at the forefront of mineral asset digitization over 5 years ago, along with its patented technologies and assets, adding substantial value to the Company and our shareholders, while moving us closer to our ultimate goal of becoming the leading provider of asset digitization and securitization in this emerging industry.”

Management expects that the expanded portfolio of I-ON.au will expand the market acceptance of the Company’s asset-backed digital securities, representing the emergence of entirely new financial instrument class that can be leveraged for financing, collateralization, and/or the hypothecated use within a wide range of ESG-friendly bond offerings. With ION.au, claim holders, investors, and the precious metals industry can take advantage of an entirely new range of financial opportunities from their in-situ and unrefined gold, precious metal, and mineral reserves.

The transaction represents a huge step forward in the Company’s pursuit to become the leading provider of cutting-edge asset digitization solutions and provide greater financial opportunities for both claim holders and investors alike, through the digitization and securitization of gold, precious metals, and minerals reserves, and the cultivation of other next-generation technology-driven asset-backed financial instruments.

I-ON Digital Corp. Discusses Acquisition of Orebits Corp. Parent Company and 2023 Chainlink Spring Hackathon Win with The Stock Day Podcast

Newsfile Corp.

Pheonix, AZ | July 11, 2023 08:00 AM, Eastern

Phoenix, Arizona– The Stock Day Podcast welcomed I-ON Digital Corp. (OTC Pink: IONI) (“the Company”), a leader in the development of next-generation gold, precious metal, and illiquid asset digitization and securitization ecosystems that allow for institutional-grade trading and financial hypothecation on a secure, lightening fast hybrid blockchain infrastructure. CEO of the Company, Carlos Montoya, joined Stock Day host Kevin Davis.

Davis began the interview by asking about the Company’s background and current projects. “I-ON Digital is a digital solutions company developing cutting edge technology platforms for digital assets, primarily in the financial services and health care sectors,” shared Montoya.

“How would you characterize the Company’s progress to date towards its goals to develop a next-generation asset digitization and securitization ecosystem, specifically targeting the monetization of in situ gold?” asked Davis. “We can now demonstrate the existence of the asset, as well as the ability to move the asset at an institutional level based on state-of-the-art technology,” said Montoya before elaborating on the Company’s recent announcement detailing their agreement to acquire the parent company to Orebits Corp.

“What is the strategy associated with the legacy format?” asked Davis. Montoya shared his vision for the next-generation of banking, which involves creating institutional-level ecosystems with transparent assets. “With the speed and efficiency of blockchain it allows us to utilize a significant amount of data and move it with efficiency, including proof of reserves and proof of work,” said Montoya. “We have some of those early legacy ambitions,” he added. “Our goal was to solve for pillars including, full transparency as a security and independent custody for reporting.”

“We look to completing the Orebits Corp. acquisition to basically have all of that legacy in our quiver,” continued Montoya. “You could argue that the transaction also comes with our service bureau platform, MCM, or our banking services platform, Tall Ship Partners,” he explained. “All of those companies are ultimately being merged in and licensed to I-On Digtial.”

The conversations then turned to the Company’s status as one of the 2023 Chainlink Spring Hackathon winners for the Space and Time Data category. “This gives us validation at the top-level from the Web3 and technology community that our approach is considered to be stellar,” said Montoya. “When it comes down to it, data integrity is critical in any financial asset.”

To close the interview, Montoya encouraged listeners and shareholders to keep up-to-date on the Company’s updates and current projects as they continue to revolutionize the digital payments industry.

I-ON Digital Corp. ONBOARDS gold-backed ION.au onTO company's NEW BLOCKCHAIN and Announces Agreement in Principle to Acquire OREBITS CORP. PARENT

NewsDirect

Chicago, IL | June 28, 2023 08:44 AM, Eastern

Chicago, Illinois, Arizona — I-ON Digital Corp. (OTC: IONI) today announced an agreement in principle to purchase all of the outstanding membership interests of Orebits Acquisition Group, LLC, which is the majority stockholder of Orebits Corp. This agreement marks a significant step toward the digitization and securitization of gold and other asset classes by restructuring and onboarding a recently purchased pool of legacy Orebits Gold-Backed Digital Assets onto I-ON‘s new hybrid blockchain, effectively converting the legacy Orebits.AU format into the ION.au, the Company’s next-generation digital security format. I-ON anticipates that the subject transaction, following requisite notifications and approvals, will close during the third quarter of 2023.

The executive team at I-ON played a key role in developing the digital asset ecosystem for Orebits.AU. During the time when blockchain and smart contract technology were emerging, they achieved several notable firsts in the market. By transferring a portion of Orebits.AU from a private distributed ledger to I-ON‘s cutting-edge hybrid blockchain, the Company converted them into ION.au. I-ON will add them as holdings on its balance sheet.

“This accomplishment represents another successful step along the path that we defined upon acquiring a majority stake in I-ON Digital Corp.” shared I-ON CEO Carlos X. Montoya, “As one can expect future owners or holders of I-ON.au digital securities to do, it allows us to expand our financial options and leverage the asset value to strengthen our capital position.”

With I-ON‘s new asset digitization and securitization ecosystem, the Company seeks to reflect and redefine regulatory compliance across the emerging asset digitization marketplace, from tracking to settlement, and provide greater access to compliant trading services for institutional investors in a secure, trusted environment.

I-ON’s innovative business model will allow claim holders to monetize in situ gold (in-ground or unrefined gold) by converting their fully validated gold claims into secure and efficient gold-backed securities, offering liquidity without extracting, mining, or smelting the gold. The resulting asset-backed digital securities will provide a global custody interface and help establish new standards for independent financial and transactional reporting for various digital asset classes.

I-ON and Instruxi Revolutionize Gold Digitization and Securitization at Chainlink Spring 2023 Hackathon

UK-based web3 development partner features I-ON Digital Corp's "fractional ownership of unrefined gold claims" framework at prestigious Hackathon event.

NewsDirect

Chicago, IL | June 15, 2023 01:50 PM, Eastern

Chicago, Illinois — I-ON Digital Corp. (OTC: IONI) was recently chosen by UK-based development partner Instruxi Limited as the focal point for its submission in this year’s prestigious Chainlink Spring 2023 Hackathon, choosing I-ON‘s “fractional ownership of unrefined gold claims” framework to showcase a real-world commercial example of leveraging state-of-the-art blockchain and distributed data warehousing technologies to disrupt and evolve the conventional gold and precious metals marketplace.

I-ON’s business model will allow claim holders to monetize in situ gold (in-ground or unrefined gold) by converting their fully validated gold claims into secure and efficient gold-backed securities, offering liquidity without extracting, mining, or smelting the gold. The team at I-ON pioneered this model several years back by achieving groundbreaking advances in the institutional acceptance of asset-backed digital securities by establishing a global custody interface and creating standards for independent financial and transactional reporting backed by expert legal opinion. Their efforts helped launch the then-nascent asset digitization marketplace while addressing the relative needs of investors, institutional partners, and regulators alike.

To build on these accomplishments, I-ON turned to Instruxi to craft a technical approach to digitizing gold reserves by tokenizing them, utilizing state-of-the-art blockchain and Smart Contract technology, then converting them into digital securities that enable institutional investors to buy fractionalized ownership of gold claims, at the “proven reserves” level, through ERC20 tokens.

“Five years ago, we set out to change the gold and precious metals marketplace by creating a regulatory-compliant digital asset ecosystem that would allow gold claim holders to monetize unrefined but proven Gold Reserves,” shared I-ON CEO Carlos X. Montoya. “To build on a series of ‘firsts’ that we initially achieved, including meeting the requirements of larger institutions and other US and global tier-one intermediaries, we asked the team at Instruxi and their collaborative partners to help us scale and optimize our ecosystem to provide secure movement, transfer, settlement and, where applicable, hypothecation of our asset-backed digital securities. Together, what we’ve created is significant.”

This resulting gold tokenization process represents a groundbreaking innovation in the traditional gold and precious metals marketplace, enabling claim holders to unlock the value of their proven reserves while minimizing the environmental impact and cost of conventional forms of gold mining, including strip mining and other forms of extraction. I-ON‘s partnership with Instruxi showcases the power and potential of integrating best-in-class emerging DeFi technologies to drive meaningful commercial change in the precious metals and commodities industry.

“To enable I-ON’s vision, we needed to create a secure, robust, and hyper-scalable infrastructure that could support asset digitization and tokenization so we could fractionalize the ownership of gold and other assets.” explains Instruxi CTO Austin Przybysz, “Smart contracts, Chainlink‘s secure communication, and Space and Time‘s decentralized data warehouses allowed us to deliver the advanced auditing capabilities, scalability, and robust security that I-ON required for their institutional-grade framework.”

Through its development partnership with Instruxi, I-ON is pioneering the future of asset-backed securities and the trading and hypothecation of fractionalized gold ownership and other emerging digitized asset classes. Their collaborative effort lays the foundation for a more accessible, trust-driven, and compliant financial ecosystem that could play an integral role in shaping the future of decentralized finance, tokenized assets, and digital securities. All while providing a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way to monetize precious metal reserves without damaging or destroying Mother Earth.

I-ON Digital Corp Pioneers the Next Generation of Gold Digitization and Securitization

Newsfile Corp

05/09/2023

Chicago, Illinois —  I-ON Digital (OTC Pink: IONI) is proud to announce that it is now in beta development of its next-generation gold digitization and securitization ecosystem due to a technology partnership with Instruxi Ltd. and Space and Time Labs, Inc. I-ON’s hybrid blockchain asset digitization solution has the potential to revolutionize the gold market and make it much easier for investors to participate directly in the lucrative gold industry.

The beta platform is currently under development and is expected to launch in the third quarter of 2023. When launched, I-ON will enable claim holders to digitize and monetize their claims while allowing institutional investors to purchase the value of those claims via digital tokens backed by a pool of in situ (in the ground), unrefined, and physical gold. The system will also provide users with real-time pricing data and reporting, ensuring secure and transparent market transactions.

The method and system for tokenizing gold claims and unrefined gold tokens enable the monetization of proven gold claims without the capital expense and environmental impact of traditional mining. I-ON’s digitization and asset securitization ecosystem will also provide claim holders and junior mining companies with an entirely new way to finance their mining operations and market their gold more transparently and with reduced risk.

“We are excited to be working with the best-in-class technology and innovation of Instruxi and Space and Time on our newest ecosystem,” said I-ON Digital CEO Carlos X. Montoya. “We believe our asset digitization and securitization process will revolutionize the precious metals marketplace by making it easier and safer than ever for investors to buy, sell and trade digital gold securely on our regulatory compliant rails.”

The unique hybrid blockchain technology and innovative protocols revolutionize how unrefined gold is bought, sold, transferred, traded, and hypothecated. I-ON’s ecosystem makes the marketplace more transparent, accessible, and efficient while allowing the gold, subject to I-ON’s perfected lien interest, to be safely stored in institutional vaults or remain in the world’s most secure vault, Mother Earth.

“This project represents a major opportunity for us,” said Instruxi CEO Mathew Harrowing. “By partnering with I-ON Digital Corp, we can leverage our experience building secure and compliant financial blockchain solutions that are both easy-to-use, transparent, and provide superior end-to-end security and reporting for each transaction.”

Space And Time CEO Nate Holiday echoed Harrowing’s sentiment: “This is a revolutionary project that commercializes and will take advantage of all of the incredible capabilities of our Decentralized Data Warehouse platform,” he said. “We look forward to helping build a world-class ecosystem that will transform how people worldwide access investment opportunities in digital gold.”

As a result of I-ON’s ecosystem, a much broader range of investors can now partake in the ownership of gold, fostering economic growth and development in regions where gold reserves are plentiful but difficult to access, mine, and convert into market-ready bullion. Furthermore, the enhanced transparency and security offered by the Company’s regulatory-compliant process increases investor confidence and reduces instances of fraud, benefiting investors and the gold industry.

I-ON Digital’s partnership with Instruxi and Space and Time marks an important milestone for its mission of making the digitization of gold and gold-backed digital securities accessible across the range of US and global marketplaces. With its next-generation ecosystem, I-ON Digital Corp is transforming how people interact with gold and other precious metals and making investing in assets like gold more efficient, secure, and reliable than ever before.

I-ON also solidified a key relationship with UK-based Instruxi Limited, who specializes in developing hybrid Web 2.0 and 3.0 applications for enterprises to deliver enhanced security, distributed data efficiencies, and immutable user consent for privacy capabilities and asset tracking. I-ON will utilize Instruxi’s proven track record in asset digitization to expand and improve its institutional-grade digital banking ecosystem. Instruxi’s “Intent and Consent” framework provides users with greater transparency and control over their data, building greater trust and confidence in each transaction while enforcing consent at a granular level. In addition, Instruxi’s advanced “Proof-of-Policy” protocols enable organizations to share data more quickly and efficiently without compromising security or privacy, thus reducing the risk of data breaches and other security threats that have plagued other digital currency platforms.

“With Instruxi, I-ON can offer a scalable, secure and ethical data management platform which will enable accurate tracking and distribution of assets and associated data,” shared Instruxi’s CEO Mathew Harrowing, “providing I-ON with a more secure and scalable asset digitization framework that will track and ensure custody, compliance, and accuracy in every transaction.”

As demonstrated by its highly assertive technology acquisition and partnering strategies, I-ON solidifies its commitment to enhancing the world’s first regulatory-compliant and institutional-grade gold digitization ecosystem into the fastest, most secure, and most transparent asset-backed digital asset ecosystem and next-generation digital banking platform in the market today.

Newsfile Corp

02/21/2023

Chicago, Illinois —  I-ON Digital Corp (OTCQB: IONI) is proud to announce that its new management team will attend a series of industry events over the next several weeks with the goal of introducing new enhancements to the industry’s first institutional-level Gold-Backed Digital Asset Ecosystem, as well as the Company’s upcoming launch of its ION Digital Trust Framework inside the financial services and healthcare industries.

The first event on I-ON’s schedule is the strategic Mines and Money Investor Conference, occurring February 23-24 in Miami, Florida. This event is designed to help investors identify investment opportunities and gain insights into current market trends, focusing on metals and mining. I-ON will showcase groundbreaking enhancements being made to the original Gold-Backed Digital Asset Ecosystem Mr. Montoya engineered in early 2017. The Company expects that I-ON’s gold digitization process will allow investments in gold-backed digital securities backed by unrefined gold reserves held in the planet’s most secure vault – Mother Earth.

“We’ve been very heavily focused on expanding what had originally been developed by our initial team members at MCM and Tall Ship Partners Fund in 2017 when we launched the world’s first institutional-level ecosystem,” said I-ON Digital Corp CEO Carlos X. Montoya. “With the introduction of ION’s Digital Trust Framework, we will look to add precious metals to our digitization process. We expect to enhance proof of reserve protocols, strengthen independent financial custody, expand tier-one client and investor reporting, and streamline account management using Blockchain and Smart Contract technologies.”

Following this event, I-ON will be attending U.S. Payments Forum on February 27-March 2 in Salt Lake City, Utah. This conference focuses on payment solutions and trends within the financial services industry. During this time, the ION team will highlight their Trust Framework technology, which utilizes blockchain technology and workflow automation to create an immutable audit trail for payment transactions while maintaining customer identity, privacy, and data security standards required by law.

“The ION Trust Framework was engineered to further protect consumer identity, facilitate secure and compliant wealth transfer, and strengthen individual data sovereignty protection as a top priority,” said Montoya. “The concept of Distributed Trust is an essential and much-needed solution for financial and data transactions worldwide to ensure compliance with emerging international identity, consent, and transmission standards, and we believe it has great potential not only in the traditional finance sector but also in other industries such as healthcare.”

These two upcoming events offer an exciting opportunity for I-ON to demonstrate its technological capabilities further and strengthen relationships with its industry partners worldwide.
