Kodak Coin to Be First 3rd Party Coin to Trade on the tZero Platform
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 17, 2018) - GLOBAL BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES CORP. (TSXV: BLOC) (FSE:
BWSP) (OTC Pink: BLKCF) ("GBT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Overstock.com in a press release today said
that its blockchain subsidiary, t0.com, Inc. ("tZero") intends to provide advisory services in connection with the recently
announced KodakOne Coin Security Token Offering. In addition, tZero will advise on secondary trading of the Kodak Coin. This is the
first third party coin to be announced that tZero will be listing and trading on its much anticipated regulated ICO exchange.
Utilizing blockchain technology, the KodakOne platform is an encrypted, digital ledger of rights ownership for photographers to
register both new and archived work that they can then license within the platform. With the Kodak Coin, participating
photographers are invited to take part in a new economy for photography, receive payment for licensing their work immediately upon
sale, receive a share of overall platform revenue, and for both professional and amateur photographers, sell their work confidently
on a secure blockchain platform.
Jan Denecke Cofounder and the KodakOne Platform and the Kodak Coin said "tZero's vision in being able to develop and provide a
securities token platform that complies with US federal securities laws is key to the success of the Kodak Coin. The Kodak Coin
offering is centered around providing photographers security and peace of mind, and the tZero platform allows us to provide that
same security to our token holders as well."
Patrick Byrne, CEO of tZero said, "The Crypto Revolution is upon us. To have KodakCoin on the tZERO platform is a tremendous
stepping stone in continuing the mainstream adoption of what I would assert, may prove to be the most powerful innovation in
history. As US regulators seek securities-law compliant applications for companies issuing security tokens, the issuance and
trading of Kodak Coin in compliance with securities laws will empower entrepreneurs and protect photographers' property and
licensing rights, while achieving another critical step in defining a new wave of digital capital formation. We welcome the Kodak
Coin into the tZero family and look forward to working with this iconic brand".
Global Blockchain President, Shidan Gouran stated, "Our investment in Kodak continues to progress rapidly and we are eager to be
alongside as this progresses towards its ICO in just two weeks."
The initial coin offering will open on January 31, 2017 and is open to accredited investors from the U.S., UK and Canada. For

is issued under SEC guidelines as a security token under Regulation 506 (c) as an exempt offering.
