Is this startup the next billion dollar buyout?

Imagine investing in Ring before its $1.2B buyout by Amazon

Or Nest, before Google's $3.2B acquisition.

By the time we hear about industry-changing companies, it’s usually too late. But right now, there’s a smart home startup making their way to homes in America. This tech startup is RYSE, and unlike Ring, you can still invest before their $1.90 round closes May 30.

Like how Ring disrupted home security, this company is revolutionizing smart blinds & shades.

With $10M+ in revenue, 200% YoY growth, and sold in 127 Best Buy stores, they are primed for massive expansion and forecast 5X in revenue this year.

Tradfi & Crypto are starting to merge. We saw Kraken acquire NinjaTrader recently. What is Kraken getting in NinjaTrader?

• U.S. Futures – NinjaTrader’s CFTC-registered FCM license allows Kraken to offer crypto futures and derivatives in the U.S. Unlocks Global Regulatory Licensing and Growth – K

• Kraken’s U.K. MiFID, EU MiFID, and Australian securities licenses accelerate NinjaTrader’s expansion into the U.K., Europe, and Australia.

• Seamless Multi-Asset Trading – For both Kraken and NinjaTrader clients, the ability to trade crypto, futures, and traditional financial products.

• Access to Elite Trading Tools – Clients will benefit from NinjaTrader’s pro-grade analytics, execution engines and futures liquidity, combined with Kraken’s best-in-class crypto liquidity and trading experience.

How much did they pay? $1.5B - Not only is this big for private investors, but it could start the consolidation of retail brokerages with crypto exchanges.

NinjaTraders 1.9 million users joins Kraken’s 15 million users.

I think in the future it will be commonplace for all the leading crypto exchanges to offer equities, ETFs, futures, and options trading. After that, we will see them integrate sports betting and prediction markets. It’s all converging and it will be interesting to see which platforms are the ultimate winners. $HOOD ( ▼ 0.53% ) being the most likely to lead the way. In addition, as you merge all these investment and betting instruments, the opportunity for innovation, new UI/UX features, and tools will explode.

This type of transaction is bullish for me on the Social Leverage platform and our companies like Stocktwits, Koyfin, Finchat, & more.
