May 04, 2022 (WallStreetPR via Comtex) -- Any survey of the most promising long-term high-growth areas of the stock market must include a few key themes: green energy, cryptocurrency, AI, robotics, genomics, and the metaverse.
In a potential bonanza for new investors, all of these thematic investment opportunities have pulled back massively over recent months and now represent genuine value themes after the bones and blood of overly enthusiastic momentum chasers from the last cycle have been scattered in the sun to bleach.
Perhaps the most interesting of these is the crypto space because it ties in with the larger fintech decentralized finance theme as well as blockchain technology, which has applications for green energy, AI, robotics, and the metaverse, all in one.
It's the Swiss army knife growth theme.
This has powerful implications for a number of interesting stocks in the space. We take a look at some of the most exciting stories in the space below.
Hive Blockchain Technologies Ltd. /zigman2/quotes/208543683/composite HIVE -1.64% went public in 2017 as the first cryptocurrency mining company with a green energy and ESG strategy.
The company defines itself as a growth-oriented technology stock in the emergent blockchain industry. HIVE owns state-of-the-art, green energy-powered data centre facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Iceland, where it claims to source only green energy to mine on the cloud and HODL both Ethereum and Bitcoin. Since the beginning of 2021, HIVE has held in secure storage the majority of its ETH and BTC coin mining rewards.
Hive Blockchain Technologies Ltd. /zigman2/quotes/208543683/composite HIVE -1.64% recently announced production figures from the Company's global Bitcoin and Ethereum mining operations for the month of March 2022, with a BTC HODL balance of 2,568 Bitcoin and 16,196 Ethereum as of April 3, 2022. In addition to this the Company is pleased to announce two milestone accomplishments of reaching 2 Exahash of Bitcoin mining and 6 Terahash of Ethereum mining this month.
Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman of HIVE stated "We are very pleased to report HIVE has continued its extremely strong momentum in expanding our hashing power, notably our Ethereum mining hash power grew by 33% this month. In March we produced an average of 9.0 BTC per day, and we are pleased to note that as of today, we are producing approximately 9.0 BTC a day even after the recent difficulty increase of 4%. Our Bitcoin hashing power increased in March and at the calendar month-end our hashrate was 2.0 Exahash, which translated into a 6% increase in BTC mining on a month over month basis, while BTC prices corrected."
Even in light of this news, HIVE has had a rough past week of trading action, with shares sinking something like -4% in that time. That said, chart support is nearby, and we may be in the process of constructing a nice setup for some movement back the other way.
Hive Blockchain Technologies Ltd. /zigman2/quotes/208543683/composite HIVE -1.64% managed to rope in revenues totaling $86M in overall sales during the company's most recently reported quarterly financial data - a figure that represents a rate of top line growth of 381.2%, as compared to year-ago data in comparable terms. In addition, the company has a strong balance sheet, with cash levels exceeding current liabilities ($326.5M against $19.4M).

XCPCNL Business Services Corp. /zigman2/quotes/206955663/delayed XCPL +11.67% recently announced phase one of its acquisition of Centiment Capital, which will involve the further development and commercial application of MantasPrime, a Crypto Trading Platform. MantisPrime has developed a proprietary emotional search engine ("EiQ") that utilizes neuro data, machine learning and artificial intelligence to sense and predict emotional responses within any number of categories. This EiQ can predict movements in the market by analyzing public sentiment. In other words, the EiQ knows where the crowd is headed before the group becomes cognizant. This EiQ was initially developed at a hackathon at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Kansas School of Medicine (KUMC).
According to its release, the EiQ can help serve as a signal generator by predicting market changes and pricing. This means an individual can lead the crowd instead of studying it. EIQ allows for a quick reaction to a changing market and sets the call to action for others to follow. Via the Company's Crypto as a Service Platform (CaaS
Mantis Prime will be the proprietary trading business arm of XCPCNL once the acquisition of Centiment Capital is complete. The commercial application is anticipated to be a 9-figure generator.
