SEATTLE, Nov. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC:SING) today announces the soft launch of a bitcoin exchange aimed at solving payment issues plaguing the cannabis industry. SinglePoint sees vast opportunity for technology to solve payment issues related to high-risk transactions, specifically in the cannabis market. There is yet to be a standout leader in the cannabis payments space, and SinglePoint is looking to solidify its position through the company’s relationships and history of mobile payment offerings. The new solution can be utilized by any business from convenience stores to dispensaries in the 29 legal states and District of Columbia. For more information, or to sign up for the exchange, visit app.singleseed.com

Convenience has been the No. 1 driver for building this application, which is designed as a payment service to make instant bitcoin-powered purchases possible when all you have is a credit or debit card. Through an easy-to-use sign up form and ID verification, customers will be able to set up their account online beforehand or will be able to sign up within seconds directly at the point of sale. This model is similar to solutions utilized abroad, but SinglePoint has not yet seen this feature offered in the United States.

“We are very pleased with what we have built out and executed on with this solution. SinglePoint now has a base to continue innovating on for the cannabis payments space. Businesses are contacting us daily about payment services and with this solution we feel confident we will be on boarding many of these customers. This is just the beginning of a solution that will ultimately serve cannabis businesses much beyond payments. The overall goal is to have a fully integrated solution for businesses to manage their day-to-day operations from beginning to end,” states Wil Ralston, president of SinglePoint.

According to a new report by Grand View Research, the cannabis market is projected to reach $55.8 billion by 2025. This presents a major opportunity for SinglePoint to generate additional revenue through platform fees and transactional fees.   

Beyond payments innovation, SinglePoint is continuing to negotiate new acquisitions in the cannabis market. Company management will be at MJ BIZCON, taking place November 14 – 17 in Las Vegas, and has set up multiple meetings for continued deal flow.
