IBN Announces Latest Episode of The TechMediaWire Podcast featuring Brian Collins, CEO of Horizon Fintex and Co-Creator of Upstream
June 26 2024 - 8:35AM
IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in
connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased
to announce the release of the latest episode of The
TechMediaWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide
specialized content distribution via widespread syndication
channels.
The TechMediaWire Podcast delivers informative updates and
exclusive interviews with executives operating in the tech
industry. The latest podcast episode features Brian Collins, CEO of
Horizon Fintex and Co-Creator of Upstream, a MERJ Exchange stock
market and global trading app.
To begin the interview, Collins discussed the relationship
between Globex-U.S., Horizon, Upstream and MERJ as it relates to a
recently launched capital raise inviting retail investors to own a
piece of the proprietary trading and exchange technology powering
Upstream.
“The investment opportunity is in Globex-U.S., an American
entity which owns Horizon, a Swiss software company that licenses
technology to MERJ for one of their markets called Upstream, a
trading application that tokenizes real world assets and earns
trading fees,” he said. “Those trading fees from Horizon’s
technology deployment as an exchange are shared between MERJ, which
is the regulated entity, and Horizon, the software company. Those
profits, of course, also flow up to Globex-U.S., the company doing
its funding round.”
“We really want people to come into a trading platform that
allows us to open securities trading to everybody. It's no longer
an elite kind of club where, especially outside of America, where
you're from would preclude you from stock trading. In particular,
investment opportunities that we feel are really exciting in
America, with micro-cap and mid-cap companies, have been almost
impossible to reach from here in Switzerland, the rest of Europe,
Latin America and Southeast Asia.”
“When those companies list in the States, they can come and do a
list on our platform. It brings liquidity to those companies,
driving their balance sheet and their liquidity in the U.S., as
well as, of course, opening them up to an international retail
investor community. What we want to really be able to do is have
people invest in us so that we can bring even more companies to our
exchange, add more value to U.S. companies that list with us and
allow access to international retail investors… We want to have
people as part of an exchange for a change.”
Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and The TechMediaWire Podcast’s latest

owners of the technology powering Upstream aligns with the overall
vision to introduce the next generation of trading.
