The Cannabis ETF Index Provider to Become CFN Media’s Exclusive ETF Partner
Whitefish, Montana–(Newsfile Corp. – November 30, 2020) – CFN Enterprises Inc. (OTCQB: CNFN), owner and operator of CFN Media, and Innovation Shares LLC, the index provider to the NYSE-listed exchange-traded fund, The Cannabis ETF (NYSE: THCX), today signed a letter of intent to form a strategic partnership and unlock value in cannabis, CBD, psychedelics and other highly-regulated industries worldwide.
Under the terms of the proposed agreement, CFN Enterprises will acquire a 10% stake in Innovation Shares LLC-the driving force behind the THCX ETF-and Innovation Shares will become CFN Media’s exclusive ETF partner. The two companies aim to form a new joint venture to provide mission-critical services across digital platforms to private, pre-public and public companies in the cannabis, CBD, psychedelics, and other highly regulated industries worldwide.
“CFN Media has become one of the most trusted names in the cannabis media space over the past decade and has already replicated its success in the nascent psychedelics space,” said Matt Markiewicz, Managing Director of Innovation Shares. “As the exclusive ETF partner for its growing network of web and mobile properties, we aim to grow our existing assets under management and address other high-growth industries.”
“Innovation Shares has built one of the most iconic ETF brands in the cannabis industry and it’s an ideal match for our audience,” said CFN Media President Frank Lane. “This partnership will usher in our next phase of growth as we further monetize the audience we have built up over the past decade and continue to build out products and services that address the pressing challenges facing highly-regulated industries worldwide.”
The Cannabis ETF (NYSE: THCX) was constructed to make investing in cannabis easier by helping investors get exposure to a basket of stocks that are expected to benefit from growth of the hemp and legal marijuana industries. The global cannabis market is estimated to reach $630 billion by 2040 up from $12 billion today, according to a report from Seaport Global Securities (February 21, 2019).
“The cannabis industry is poised to see accelerated growth in 2021 and beyond as an increased number of states legalize medical and adult-use cannabis,” added Mr. Markiewicz,. “In addition, there are signs that the psychedelics industry is moving in the same direction with the pending legalization of medical psilocybin in Oregon and decriminalization in Washington D.C. and other U.S. cities, which is starting a new national dialogue.”
The letter of intent and proposed agreement are subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence, the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, and other factors. There are no assurances that the strategic partnership will occur.
