NEW YORK, June 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
According to a research published by Ameri Research Inc., the global legal cannabis market was valued at $14.3 billion in 2016. The market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% between 2017 and 2024, while culminating in 2024 global sales of $63.5 billion. The legal cannabis market is witnessing robust growth owing to the increasing legalization and decriminalization of marijuana across North America and Europe. The rising demand of cannabis for recreational use and medical use is a key factor driving the growth. The report points out that due to the complex regulatory structure at state level and federal level, the full potential of the market is not yet realized. SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING), Kush Bottles, Inc. (OTC: KSHB), MassRoots, Inc. (OTC: MSRT), CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC: CVSI), Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (OTC: CBDS)
As recently reported by New Frontier Data, cannabis stocks have outperformed major indexes in 2016. "Cannabis stocks significantly outperformed major indexes in 2016, fueled by speculative investment based on anticipated expansion of new legal markets. In the run up to the election, stocks increased by 207.8% and continued to rise, even with an uncertain future under the new administration. While recent comments by the (presidential) administration did have an initial dampening effect on the market, we have seen continued growth relative to Q4 2016 whereby cannabis stocks are still outperforming other sectors," said Giadha Aguirre De Carcer, CEO of New Frontier Data.
SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING) on June 6th announced that its initiative to develop a Bitcoin payments solution in partnership with First Bitcoin Capital Corp. (OTC: BITCF). The two companies signed a Joint Venture agreement to develop and distribute a viable payments solution using block chain technology. First Bitcoin Capital is an industry leading Bitcoin and blockchain technology provider and SinglePoint has a deep history in distribution. The two companies believe this partnership will enable each company to focus on their core strengths to build and supply the best Bitcoin solution available.
With the massive and widespread adoption of Bitcoin worldwide, the two companies will pursue opportunities to leverage their payment technology background and develop a proprietary solution specifically for high-risk payment verticals including the cannabis industry. SinglePoint's representation at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this year saw many solutions being utilized in other countries based on Bitcoin and other crypto currencies such as Ethereum. SinglePoint and First Bitcoin Capital believe they have found a way for the customer experience to go unchanged at the point of sale when paying with a credit or debit card at medical and recreational cannabis dispensaries.
As SinglePoint CEO Greg Lambrecht states, "In January 2014 SinglePoint announced and started working on a bitcoin payment solution, shortly after we recognized the issue of minimal user adoption of digital currency. The payments industry has rapidly changed since that time. There is now tremendous momentum and demand for bitcoin acceptance as an alternative form of payment. This Joint Venture with First Bitcoin Capital is perfect timing. Bitcoin payments are catching on and cannabis dispensaries need a solution fast."
