Year: 2021

Founder-CEO Maveshan Chetty Says, this is the future of Playlyst Studios

Joburg, South Africa, 8th April 2021, ZEXPRWIRE – In 2020, the world faced an unprecedented trauma in the form of COVID-19 pandemic. This led to businesses, especially start-ups adapting to the online medium in order to carry on their operations. One such industry that took to online medium like fish to water has been the podcasting business. The unexpected success of podcasting start-ups even led big businesses like Amazon and Spotify to buy them and ride the success wave together. The South Africa-based Playlyst Studios, which was launched in 2019 by Founder Maveshan Chetty, to “change the podcasting game for the future,” is now all set to add another feather to its cap, in the form of an app, that is unique and easy to get a hang of. In a chat, Mr. Chetty talks about the Playlyst Studio App and other things planned for 2021. 

Q – What inspired the new Playlyst Studio app? 

Maveshan Chetty – We all are aware that in 2020, the world faced one of its toughest challenges – isolation and grief. The reality was harsher for the start-up owners like myself because we were new to business and were being forced to adapt a new normal that we weren’t aware existed. As a business owner, I’ve spent countless nights worrying about the future of Playlyst Studios. One such Friday night, I couldn’t get any sleep so I began mapping out a vision on paper. The inspiration was an idea that kept nagging me at the back of my head. I thought what if I was able to build an app to feature all our original content and at the same time allowed podcasters, guests and the rest of the world to connect with each other. 

Q – What is the new Playlyst Studio app about? 

Maveshan – The app is basically a connecting medium, which allows users two main functionalities – streaming & swiping. That is why, we’ve named it “The Playlyst App: Stream & Swipe.” The main idea behind this  app was to build a home for Playlyst Originals content where the audience can enjoy a completely ad-free experience without having to spend a single dollar. This app is going to better than having to spend money on subscriptions or podcasts. The Swipe feature helps the app connect each other instead of alienating. The main reason to install this feature inside the app was that podcasters find it hard to get guests as well as candidates for their shows. One needs to carry out extensive research and then follow up through emails. That is a long process, which takes up a lot of time. Although there are services out there, which might make it easier to find guests but so much red tape and ‘subscriptions’ work as killjoy for podcasters. Therefore, we decided to create a feature within our app that would connect podcasters with guests and also detail all the information required, instead of spending time on emails. The users can simply swipe on a profile that they find interesting and chat instantly. If I may say so, the app would be like a perfect ‘dating’ experience for podcasters & podcast guests.

Q – What is the value-addition that the app brings with it? When will it be launched?

Maveshan – The app brings together podcasters and guests to connect. However, we realize that not everyone wants the same thing. Therefore, in order to make it a customized experience for the users, when you download the Playlyst app, you will be prompted with 3 options – 

1. I am a podcaster.
2. I want to be a guest.
3. I am a listener. 

The first two options are self-explanatory while the third option is for those who want to just listen to the podcasts that we make. 

Last, but not the least, we wanted to make a difference to the podcast realm and add value; therefore, all the features on this app are completely FREE. Also, there is no limit to the number of matches you swipe. Everything on the app is completely free right from the moment you download the app. As a CEO and Founder of Playlyst Studios, I promise the users that no one will ever have to pay for this app. 

Though we haven’t decided upon a specific launch date yet, I assure that it will be in 2021.

Q – Why did you feel the need to create this app? 

Maveshan – When we began with the idea of this app, we wanted a new home for all our original content to go live. However, as we continued building upon that idea, it grew beyond what we had initially imagined. We still want to make exclusive podcasts live on our app, but, at the same time, we also want to start adding value by helping podcasters and guests who want to feature on shows to connect with each other. When I was first struck with this idea, and I realized that I could build something concrete out of it, we started the hiring process and in the blink of an eye, we got ourselves a Playlyst development team of 3. It is the team’s hard work that has brought us to this stage. At the same time, I realize that this app is going to be focused on a niche audience but I am ready to go ahead with that because I couldn’t sleep till I had this app in development. If I hadn’t gone ahead with this idea, I wouldn’t have been able to rest & I would’ve regretted it for the rest of my life. If we can make a real difference to the podcasters’ lives, we would consider the app a success.

Q – How is this app different from other similar apps? What is its USP?

Maveshan – To begin with, no other app out there allows you to stream content as well as connect with fellow podcasters at the same time. The USP of this app would be the fact that you are allowed to access all its features without paying any subscription or going through any red tape. Also the fact that the podcasters can connect with future guests and have all the relevant information on their finger tips before launching a conversation, is what matters the most to us.

Q – What do you think is the future of podcast apps? Will they make a difference to the art of podcasting? If yes, how?

Maveshan – The future is bright as I am sure we will see a lot more apps and services in the coming years, that would add to the gamut of podcasting & will make a difference to the lives of podcasters. And if as a podcast studio, we are able to contribute, in any way, to this growth, we would consider ourselves fortunate.

Q – What changes do you see in this field since you began your journey?

Maveshan – One of the biggest changes that I’ve seen is people creating podcasts from the comfort of their homes. While many creators are still wrapped up in the idea of studios, lights, large computers, etc, but that is not the case anymore. You can create quality podcasts from your mobile devices too nowadays. What matters is the person behind the microphone – what is being said and who is being interviewed – that is what eventually matters. However, at the same time, quality of podcasts matters too. Releasing podcasts with background noises or inaudible content is trouble. So, whether you are working out of a fancy studio full of equipment’s or a room inside your home – what makes YOU different is your VOICE and your PERSONALITY.

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) asked the largest banks in the country to restrain lending growth until the end of the year due to fears of a “bubble”, writes Bloomberg, citing knowledgeable sources.

According to the agency, this issue was discussed at a meeting on March 22.

The regulator called for limiting the issuance of new loans and foreign banks.

The NBK wants lending institutions to focus on lending in industries such as technology innovation and manufacturing.

In 2020, Chinese banks issued loans in the amount of 19.6 trillion yuan ($ 3 trillion), with about 20% accounted for by inclusive financing, including small business lending.

If banks issue the same amount of loans this year, the balance of debt will grow by about 11% – up to 192 trillion yuan.

This is the lowest growth rate in more than 15 years.

“On the one hand, credit growth will slow down, but on the other, this slowdown will be quite moderate,” said chief economist for China at Nomura Holdings Inc. Lu Ding.

In January-February of this year, the volume of new loans amounted to 4.9 trillion yuan, which is 16% more compared to the same period in 2020.

Aussie exporters have been forced to diversify from #China. That’s good! We’ve been too dependent on a market with too much sovereign risk. Time also to reconsider China’s free trade access to some of our markets. CHAFTA can’t be a one way street. #auspol https://t.co/QmS0yGiDwL

— Rex Patrick (@Senator_Patrick) April 7, 2021

In February, the Chinese Central Bank instructed banks to maintain lending in the first quarter at the level of January-March last year, the Financial Times reported.

Against the backdrop of taking the coronavirus under control and recovering the economy, the PRC authorities are again trying to reduce risks, especially in the financial sector and the real estate market.

Earlier, the head of the China Banking and Insurance Committee (CBIRC) Guo Shuqing warned of the risks of bubbles in these sectors, which raised concerns about the prospects for tightening monetary policy.

The Chinese government wants to take advantage of the economic recovery to ease its debt burden. Last year, amid the pandemic, China’s debt-to-GDP ratio reached nearly 280%.

Much of the debt has accumulated since the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, when China relied on lending growth to curb a downturn.

Efforts to reduce debt growth in 2017 led to higher money market rates.

Coinbase plans to conductDPOon the Nasdaq on April 14, 2021, under the ticker COIN.

Coinbase is an American cryptocurrency platform founded in 2012. As of March 31, 2021, it is one of the largest crypto exchanges in the United States in terms of trading volume. Coinbase is part of the Coinbase Global holding.

Coinbase plans to spend $ 35 million on direct listing, and the company itself is estimated at about $ 100 billion. This is the first major public listing of a crypto company.

About finance

On Tuesday, the company released preliminary results for the first quarter of 2021. Coinbase reported that it had 56 million users during this period and had approximately 6.1 million monthly active customers. In the fourth quarter of 2020, a total of 46 million customers. … The company’s share in the cryptocurrency market is 11.3%.

Trading volume amounted to $ 335 billion. Quarterly profit is estimated at $ 730-800 million, with revenues of approximately $ 1.8 billion. This is significantly more than revenue of $ 1.3 billion and net profit of $ 322 million for the entire 2020. Significant growth of financial indicators contributed to the Bitcoin rally. Adjusted EBITDA was about $ 1.1 billion.

Coinbase’s main source of revenue is the fees that traders and cryptocurrency owners pay for transfers.

The company expects significant growth in 2021, driven by transaction and custody revenues, given the increased institutional interest in the cryptoasset class. However, institutional revenue is inherently unpredictable. Transaction revenue is currently highly correlated with the number of monthly users.

The company plans to spend $ 1.3-1.6 billion to scale activities and stimulate innovation.

Among payment operators – Visa and MasterCard, among online and mobile wallets – PayPal and others who accept cryptocurrency. Banks include JP Morgan Chase, Citibank, Bank of America and Capital One.

Blockchain-based carbon offset platform XELS provides global access to the decentralized carbon market and its ERC20 token will launch on Bittrex Global on April 8th, 2021. 

7th April 2021, Tokyo, Japan, ZEXPRWIRE, XELS is one of the leading startups tackling climate change by increasing participation and transparency in carbon markets, listed its eponymous XELS token on Bittrex Global on April 8th, 2021. 

Tokenized Carbon Credits

XELS will provide both businesses and individuals access to a blockchain-based carbon offset platform, initially focused on tokenized voluntary carbon offset credits. These credits are increasingly attractive to companies that want to show consumers they’re serious about reducing their carbon footprint.

Tackling Fraud With Blockchain

Since the birth of carbon markets following the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement, fraud has hindered the effectiveness of carbon credit sales and trading. Bad actors sometimes sell fake or expired credits, and “recycling” fraud had led to the double spending of unretired credits. Carbon markets are the perfect use case for blockchain’s distributed ledger technology, as transactions cannot be modified, reversed, or duplicated. Tokenized carbon credits can also be “burned,” with a public transaction hash proving it has been retired forever.

XELS founder and CEO Takeshi Nojima explains the XELS vision: 

“We believe that decentralization is the only way that carbon markets can work effectively. XELS will enable the industry to maintain open, transparent records – from generation, to sale, to retirement. Making it easy for corporations to transparently offset their carbon without fear of fraud will make them even more willing to combat global warming, and it will pay dividends as far as consumer trust that they’re truly intent on making a difference for the environment.”

The XELS Token

XELS will exist as a platform token that will be used to access a future suite of stablecoins that are pegged to various industry-standard voluntary carbon offset credits. In the future, the company also seeks to offer “compliance” credits, which are heavily regulated under national cap and trade agreements. 

Japan lags behind European nations, where businesses are compelled to buy compliance credits to avoid heavy taxes. XELS is already in talks with numerous listed companies in Japan that are keen to get on board with Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s target of reaching net zero domestic emissions by 2050.

Reducing Blockchains Carbon Footprint 

While XELS will exist as an ERC20 token at launch, the company is cognizant of concerns surrounding the high energy consumption associated with Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies.

Later this year, XELS will migrate to a proprietary, low-energy blockchain that the company has been developing since 2017. XELS Chain takes a hybrid proof-of-stake and proof-of-work approach, while enabling users to run a full node on a basic laptop without the need for power-hungry mining hardware

From April the 8th, 2021 the XELS platform token will be available to trade on leading cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex Global.

Businesses or individuals interested in accessing the decentralized carbon market of the future with XELS, can contact [email protected] for more information.
